node arrangements for receiving. hint at strood Hill, in order to
coeduct him through the city. Unfortunately the weather primed
untavourrhie. and the parts, instead of parading the town, stopped
the Crow, lon. here the lion. Gentleman was introduced to a
t.weernus holy of the freemen, and received the promise of nearly
one hurtired votes from those whom he canvassed in the room. In
addressing them he said, that. connected as lie was, the Meeting
could have no doubt of his adlinence to the principles of the Con-
stitution on Church anti Star, and that he should, if elected, be
found a supporter of the measures of the present Ministers.
This address was received with loud cheers, and the Meeting then

Yl'oonievoCK.—Mr. 31•%Viltirtn, the candidate for the repre-
sentation of the Borough of Woodstock, proceeds in his canvass
with great success.
WoecesTrit.—Circumstaneto have occurred which have thrown
a considerable darr.p on those anticipations which the approach of
this event had created amongst our gond citizen the retirement.of
Lord Beerhurst from the rept-sentation of the city. The Noble Po.
count's reasons for withdrawing himself will be learnt by a perusal of
hit addrent in another colunin, viz. his appointment to the Vice-Idea-
',mince of the county', Which was gosetted on Saturday Lot. It is
seedless to say that the dissppointment which th ia unexpected step has
occasioned is far from trifling, and it is not confined to the immediate
and warm adherents of his Lordship, who complain slit, unequivo-
cally. es a desertion of their cause, when, as they allege, victory
was 'certain, but It is a blight upon the prospect of the " good
things" winch appertain to a contested election here, which is
even telt in the ranks of his opponents. II owever, if any faith is to
be placed in the rumours afloat, the announcement of a third man
as q candidate for the rejected suffrages, in the person of a respect-
able commercial gentleman, is on the tapir, and it is even said that
the powerful influence of a rennin body would be thrown into the
scale of any ineividuel having n claim to such character. The first
intimation of Lord Deerhurst's secession was received yesterday,
and ritineel Pavies,who has been some time here,was immediately
on the alert to secure the absolved promises, and we understand
with a sueesea which has much atrengthetied his cause. Mr. Ro-
binson arrived this morning. making • highly fisrtering entry into
the city. and we are told likewise, that many offers of support were
tendered and loomed to that gentleman . from those who were at-
tached to the side of Lord Deerhurit.— we, rester !Jerald.
YOIIIII6UIRE.—Mr. Fountayne Wilson and Mr. William Dun-
goenbe, are expected at the Hotel in this town, early next Tuesday
morning, to ray their respects to the freeholders in this district. We
tfust every true friend of the Protestant cause, will make a point
of giving his attendance at the Hotel, and accompanying them to
the different markets, &e. We leant from undoubted authority
that Charles Buncombe, Esq. M.P. of Buncombe Park (father to
Win. Buncombe, Esq. the candidate for this county), is elevated
to the Peerage, in the same batch with Mr. IVortley and several
other gentlemen. Yesterda • numerous meeting of the respect-
able inhabitants of Wakefield, friends to Richard Foentayos %Pil-
sen, Esq. was held at the Strafford Anna Inn, when a Committee
was appointed to promote the interests of that gentleman at the
ensuing election, in the town and neighbourhood. Andrew Peter-
son, Erg. was unanimously nominated as the Chairman of the
