Dovien. MARCH 31.—A Common Hall was held on Thursday,
pursuant to a requisition to the Mayor, for the purpose of taking
into consideration the propriety of sending an invitation to Colonel
Fitzelarence to become a Candidate for the representation of this
town at the ensuing General Election. The Hall was Limit nu-
merously suet:tied, and the following resolutions were passed :
" That it is of the highest importance to the interests of the
town of Dover that it should he fully and efficiently represented.
" That Colonel Fitzelarence, from his rank and connections, and
his well known attachment to the town of hover, is eminently
qualified to be one of its Representatives."
The following declaration was afterwards signed by the Chair-
man, and upwards of one hundred freemen, before the meeting
broke up:—
" We, the undersigned Freemen of Dover, considering that the
interests of the town will be benefited by Colonel Fitzelarence being
one of the Representatives, express our determination to support
his pretensions by every means in our power."
A Ctimmittee having been formed, an active canvass has com-
menced, with every prospect of success.

Thomas Mandan, in reply-to the requisition presented to hint from
the freemen of York, inviting him to offer himself as a candidate
for the City at the nest General Election, says, that feeling most
highly flattered by the preference shown to him by a large body of
his brother freemen, he shall obey their call.

DISTRESS IN SI'ITAI.FIELDS.-II will he seen, by the

whose benevolent exertions have done so much towards
alleviating the distress amonst the we:avers, have received
a second donation of 1,000/. from his Majesty, through the
medium of the Lord Bishop of Chester.
Jun rrs.—The Bishop of H ermopol is (says the Courrier
Francais) is undoubtedly the mat act►ve of our Mi-
nisters; not a single number of the Bulletin of Law' ap-
pears without some ordunnances countersigned by him, to
authorise new convents. _ _ _
