ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

A report is busily circulated in Brighton that Mr. Cur-
tel.; intends to retire from the contest ; but for ourselves we
hold the rumour utterly unworthy of credit, after the
letter which Mr. ('urteis published a month or two ago in
this paper, openly avowing his purpose of standing again
for the county. R e cannot for a single moment believe that
the Electors of Sussex, a county which has manifested
into decisive a manner its Anti-Catholic feeling, will suffer
i!self to be represented by any members of the Cavendish
family, who have uniformly voted in favour of the Ca-
tholic Claims.—Brighton Gazette.
Wes. ou r it, Aram .S.—The arrival of Major Wey-
had has afforded the Freeholders another opportunity of
tspressing their political feelings in the most decided and
Imequivocal terms. His canvass of yesterday and to-day
vas at once flattering anal conclusive. Major Weylanil
has declared that the line of policy which his Majesty's
MMisters have hitherto adopted has been the salvation of
(.4:r country—to them lie will give his support ; but on
question of any further concessions to the Catholics, he
shall always unreservedly give his decided negative.—

Extract of a letter from Ittrenos Ayres, dated Jan. 3,
tszti:—" You will have learned, by way of Rio Janeiro,
of am port being blockaded by the Brazilians, and so
natty, that hardly a vessel can escape. Three vessels
only have escaped since the blockade was laid on, say 21st
ult., and by a proclamation of Admiral Lobos, giving all
neutral velvets fourteen days to finish their loading and he
WE those detained beyond that period must go in ballast.
l'*e only received the account up here when the packet
came in on the 31st ult. A meeting of the merchants and
shipmasters was held yesterday, to petition Lobos to ex-
tend the time 14 days from the 31st ult., when his orders
were received here; how this will be received, and whether
Wanted, we cannot yet tell. go vessel of war has yet
made her appearance here, of which I can assure you we
are all pleased, else those vessels that were hall-loaded or
discharged would be obliged to remain in that state, as no
lighter would venture out. Every article of consumption,
say necessaries, eatable and liquids, have risen most
eissmously, and some articles 100 per cent. and up-
wu'ls, within these few days. Wheat has risen beyond
Precedent, and the crops this year (to complete our destruc-
tion) have been blighted; the greatest part of what has
hero saved is very poor. We have also very little Atne-
ries,: flour, and what we have is roost of it bad.
Ruautous Digs Ns toNs.—The Protestants and Ca-
tholics who had formerly concurred in supporting the
biepensary at Lyons, have recently separated, on account
of the latter refusing to admit aProtestant as one of the
three managers of the charity.
In no part of the city, excepting the end of Coleman-
street, is there greater obstruction to carriages anal pas-
sengers than on the entrance to Lombard-street from the
I'l -.
arkion-liouse. It is with pleasure, therefore, we per-
!fire that the projecting houses to St. Swithin's-lane are
111 the course of being removed. It would be a great
P,shhe convenience if a broad thoroughfare could he made
Nfrom this point through Cannon-street, to the new London
fridge. Indeed, if the intended street from Finsbury-
uire should be formed, it would be necessary to con-
struct a more direct communication from the north and
went-end of the town to the principal artery of the city than
that of Fish-street-hill, the approaches to which, our readers
01, to their cost, are excessively disagreeable.
