COR KWALI.. —The struggle for the representation of thin toasty
will he as arduous as it is important. On its issue wilt depend
whether the Aristocracy shall nominate the county Me:nbets,4
they do those for their different boroughs; or whether the nide-
, pendent freeholders shall secure the exercise of their constitutimal
rights' and decide for themselves as to the perions to wbom, sr
' their Representatives, are to be committed the guardianship of
' their dearest interests. For ourselves, we have no (ear for the erent,
though we are well aware that the most strenuous exertion, an
making to deprive Mr. Perolarves of that support which had km
pledged to him by a decided majority of the freehulders..—ireu
Briton.
Doves.—Last night the friends of If r. iltifterworth, being dee.
tors of Dover, supped together at the King's Head Tavern, in Hie
Poultry. After the cloth was removed, Mr. Butterworth addressed
the company. and declared that his canvass at Dover and in Lae.
don was se fat successful as to determine him to proceed to the
poll. In the face, however, of the confident representations of sae.
sess.held out by thel opposing Candidates, lie would not assert tin
his canvass was absolutely decisive, though if his friends were
active: be emcnsined not the slightest dqubt of the result. The
, address of the Hon. Gentleman was rarely applauded by the ere.
tors proem, who seemed to be highly gratified at the result of his
canvass of their brother freemen, and equally confident of bistro.
tual success.

GLAMORGAN BOROUGII9.—Lord James Stuart (only bro.hrr

PaEsrox.—Mr. Wood. it seems, has finished his canvass, and,
if we may judge from the Learned Candidate's ob,ervations, when
he last addressed the electors, he is as much delighted with the re-
sult. as Lis brother reformer, :11r. Cobbett, could possibly have been
at the Issue of his arrangements. In fact, both there personages
appear so confident of carryirg away the prize, and both are.
withall, such monstrous favourites, that by and by, the electors sill
have to bewail their superabundance of good things, and chime to
concert,

" Flow happy could we be with either,
Were Cottler dear charmer away."—Preston Pilot.
-Threntso.—Great preparations are making by the electors to
attend Charles Fyshe Palmer, Eaq. to the poll, at the approaching
election. In addition to the musicians of this town, several emi-
nent per-Natters from Bath are engaged. The digs, garlands, co.
lours, and decorations for the horses son unusually splendid. Most
of the neighbouring families have announced their intention of
honouring the worthy Member by attending in their carriages. Si.'
hope the procession will be so arranged as to fall in with our other
Honourable Representative in Casile.street, and proceed together
by Friar-street to the Town-hall, and the whole will then present
a spectacle exceeding in magnificence any thing ever seen io I bill
borough. Roth Members have, we hear, nearly completed their can-
vass, and the result cannot be better expressml than in one word—
it is completely •• Triuropliant."—Reocling Mere•ary.
ROCIIE ST E a.—(From a eorrespondent.)—The Bon. Horn
Dundas, at the invitation of a numerous body of the freemen of
Rochester, has announced himself a candidate to represent dist
city in the next Parliament (11r. Knight Miring resigned.) Thera
is nn doubt of this Gentleman's return. Mr. R. Bernal agais offers
himself, but we understand aucce•a is almost certain (and at a mo.
derate expense) to attend any independent Gentleman, or even Go-
vernment candidate, who is opposed to farther concessions to the
Catholics, and unconnected with West India property. A cor-
respondent suggests, that the only satisfactory proof of this Eli be.
fora gentleman so disposed to call a meeting of the freemen in
Rochester forthwith.
