GENERAL ELECTION.

Tate diesolution of Parliament by the Regent in per-
or. Weinesti.ty, ix the first instance of the kind
since the times of the Stuarts. It was then the co .:rse,
when Parh.uuents disslttisied the king, an.l was al-
ways considered as an act of anger; and some persons
have attributed the present instuace to a similar motive
or feeling, bat it is far more praable that the inferences
to be drawn from it were out foreseen or cuutemplated
by Ministers.

Sir Egerton Brydges and A. W. Robarts, emu-
inenced an• active canvas at Maidstone, last week.
On Tnez•Alay evening a meeting took place at the
Shepl:crd and Shepherdess, City Road. at which. Ir.
Hunt presided as Chaitman, for the purpose of seeing
whit strength of freemen he and his party would be
able to muster for Mr. Cobbett, as a candidate for Co-
.

ventry. The meetieg was very thinly attended, the
number not exceeding a dozen persons.
Amongst the st►bscriptions now raising for carrying
on the contest for Cobbett, at the ensuing election for
Coventry, it is said that Mr. Bryant has subscribed
!val. for defraying part. of the eve ices.
I)ovEn, .ItINE IC.-Our election has assumed a new
and unexpected aspect. Until yesterday all went di
smo►th and unruilled, and not a penol thought other-
wise than that our present member, Sir John Jackson,
and our new candidate, Mr. Bootle Wilbraham, would
be =turtle?. A few frcemenyesterday started the idea

/s,r;

of nominating Mr. Fector, who is absent in France,
with his flintily. A Co►umon Hail was culled in the
e:•ening ; between three and 400 fri..euien
when it was passed u:•.animously, that Mr Fector
shmild be nominated and elected free of expense. A
Committee was appointed to C:IIIVR^.I the town,
was divided into eiL;ht districts, aial by noon to-day
the canvass was completed, and the result is perhaps
unexampled for cordiality :mil unanimity; except a
very trifling number, who had previously engaged both
their votes, there was nut a ringle refusal.

The General Election produces throughout the emu -
try such a bustle as has seldom been witnessed even nn

a similar occasion. It is difficult to speak of occurrenycs
of this nature while they are in transitu, because it is
hardly possible to predict the rejection or success of A
candidate without contributing to the issue foretold ;

and setting aside the close boroughs, we are tmely, s
desirous of knowing what the public sentiments arc in
ylaccs where there is any thing of a popular election.
However, we learn from all quarters, that the canvass
_ _

in support of Sir Samuel Rorui!Ty in the city of West-
minster has been so unprecedented, that it would lot
unnecessarily squeamish to speak with any doubt of his
triumphant return. A meeting of Sir Murray Max.
well's friends took place on Saturday, when the pre
tensions of that gentleman were inquired into, and set
forth ; they are founded on profesaional merits.
The Sussex election is fixed for Monday, the 22.1
inst. at Chichester. It is reported this afternoon that
John Fuller, Esq. (the former representative) means to
contest the representation with Sir Go tlfrcy Webster
and Mr. Walter Burrell. The election at Chichester
will take place on Monday next : Mr. Huskisson and .
the Earl of March, will be re-eloeted. The elections
fur Horsham, Arundel, and Lewes also take p'ace on
Monday next. Lord H. Howard and Sir Arthur Pic:-
got will be re-chosen for Arundel. Mr. Scarlett's cp-
position to Sir John Shelly and Mr. Shiner is expect-
ed to prove successful. Mr. John Smith contests

We ore glad to learn that the friends of T. Rowcroft,
Esq. have finally prevuile3 with that gentleman, to
stand for :lie City.—From the great interest, we learn
that is engaged in his cause, with his lone tried cha.
racter, intelligence in all flatter of trade arri com-

of success.

ELECTION FRAC A S.—Saturday morning the can-
vassing friends of two of the candidates to represent
the city of Westminster in Parliament happened acci-
dentally to meet at the same house in Paeiarnent
Street, the one party being attended by a man wearing
a gold laced hat. Each party solicited t!ie l;Ivour of
seeing the master of the house, who instantly uprearetl,
and was quickly assailed by the canvassers. who
crammed into his hand cards soliciting his vote and
interest for particular individuals. The gentleman,
after various attempts, contrived to put a ,r‘e,:tion,
to certain principles entes•tained by one of the persons
whose prenaisi,ns were so vigorously supported. TLiA
led to an answer,which produced not alone a comparison
of claims, but an argument on both sides so warm,
that from words they got to pushing, and from pushing
to actual blows. The contest isflaally, we under-
tand to be decided upon. the celebrated area in
Westminster Hall over which Lord Ellenborough
usually presides.
