ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

TEWKEEISURY.-All three of the candidates for the
representation of this old fashioned borough have com-
pleted their canvass, and taken their present farewell of
the electors. The present sitting members, Mr. Martin
and Mr. Humphrey Brown, offer themselves again, and
the thud candidate being Mr. E. W. Cox. a barrister of
the Western Circuit. The contest, it is expected, ,will
be betleen Mr. Brown and Mr. Cox, the now comer.
The friends ot both parties are very sanguine of success.
WICKLOW.-Sir Ralph Howard has formally taken
leave ot his Wicklow constituents.
WiciTowN.—Mr. Caird commenced his canvass for
the Wugtown Burghs at &retiree'. on Monday. There
is a rumour that Captain Dalrymple will be opposed in
the county. Captain Hay, 8.. N., or Mr. Stewart,
younger, of Glasserton, has been spoken of as likely to
come forward. _ _

WORCESTER (CTTY).—In anticipation of a dissolution,
Mr. W. Laslett, of A.Uberton-hall, in this county, and
for many years an attorney practising in Worcester, has
just issued an address offering his services to the electors
in the Radical interest. The address is of enormous
length. Mr. Ricardo, the Liberal sitting Member, has
int►mated his intention of again coming forward, and
two Conservative caudidatcs are spoken of, but as yet
have not declared them elves. _

YARMOUTH —At a meeting of the Liberal electors of
this borough, held on the 16th inst., Admiral Sir C.
Napier and W. T. M'Callagh. M.P. for Dundalk, were
invited to stand for the representation of the borough at
the ensuing election.
DORSETSHIRE.—The announcement of Mr. IL C. Start
as a candidate in the free-trade interest for this county
has given great satisfaction, and his success is consi-
dered certain. It is expected that he will be returned
by the defeat of the Right Hon. the Judge Advocate,
Mr. Bankes, and that Mr. Rer Seymer and Mr. Floyer
i will retain their seats. _ _ .

- -
FORIARSHIRE.—We hear that a requisition is being
signed, inviting the Right lion. Fox Menlo to stand for
the county, and should the requisition be complied with
his return would be certain. The ex-President of the
Board of Control is deservedly popular in his native
county. Ile has acquired in Parliament the character
of a good working Minister, and of those who formed
part of the late Ministry whom the country would object
to see reinstated in office, he certainly is not one. We
shall in all probability, know more of Mr. Mauler's inten-
tions very shortly.—Caledonian Mercury.
HABWICEL—The letter from Mr. Waddington, M.P.,
for Malden, accepting the invitation of the Protectionist
party at Harwich to come forward for that borough, has
been published in the shape of a preliminary address.
Hon. Gentleman say s—
" As the requisition is of so influential a character, I
have no hesitation in acceding to tbe request, provided
it be understood that I canvass the borough independent
of any other candidate; that freedom and purity of elec-
tion be recognised as my motto. Should this be in ac.
oordance with the views entertained by yourself and co-
requisitionists, I beg to assure you that, if elected, no
exertions shall be wanting on my part in the efforts to
resuscitate the trade of the port, and-to place it in that
state of prosperity which the natural advantages of Her.
wioh Harbour ought long mg() to have secured."
The probability of Mr. Waddington being able to pro.
mote the making of the long-talked of Harwich Reilsray
will, it is bilieved, give nun a good chance of sucti.?as.
litiLL. —Mr. J. Bramley Moore, of Liverpool, hea been
invited to stsnd on tno Conservative interest for this
place in conjunction with Mr. Clay, and his retnru,
he consents, is considered certain.

LONDON, TUESDAY. MARCH 23, 1852.

Throughout the whole of our comments upon the
maritime administration of these islands, we have
naver objected to the magnitude of the sums annually
expended by the Admiralty, but have restricted our
condemnation solely to the manner of their distribu-
tion. In no particular would we witness the degenera-
tion of economy
into niggardliness. Least of all, in
reference to the Rue Navy of England. Sticklers
as we are fora ratioru7and comprehensive reduction of
the annual. expenditure of the country, we should
regard with Profound sorrow and anxiety the dimi-
nution, to any very considerable extent, of the amount
appropriated to the support of our maritime arma-
ments. What we are solicitous to see done is allusion
navy is a reform in
to the the general mode of its or-
ganiotion—not by any means a diminution of the
revenues dedicated to the
cost of its government.
Conaidering the vital importance of maintaining in
fall. force and efficiency the national strength
rejoiced, therefore
at sea, we were , rather
thaw dismayed, to observe the ready consent
yielded last night
to the naval estimates sub-
mittild,to the consideration of the House (/ Commons
by the present Administration. Votes of tfiOney ato
this end for the half-year were acceded to by
regular
and specified instalments to a total of just 2,872,161/9
which, doubled for the twelvemonth, would amount to
an aggregate of exactly 5,744,3221•—'a cost such as, I
taking into account the necessity of maritime
strength to an insular power like Great
Britain, cannot by any patriotic mind be
viewed as in any way extravagant. All that is
required is—not the reduction of estimates of late years
considerably reduced, but—the more sagacious ap-
plication of the "sinews of war,, entrusted to the
Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. A glance
at the statistical records of the empire during the last
twenty years will sufficiently demonstrate that the
sums expended on the navy have experienced a very
appreciably, diminution ; and whilst observing this
circumstance it may not be altogether unadvisable to
remark that the moneys devoted to the sea service pre-
ponderated annually over those applied to the land ser-
vice up to )841--ever since which time the tables have
strangely and lamentably enough been turned, the
Army Estimates exceeding the Navy Estimates upon
a graduallY, jnczeping ratio. In illustration of
the accuracy of this statement we may remind
the public that in 1827, whereas the Army
required an expenditure of 6,414,7271,, the Navy de-
manded no less than 7,876,6831. In 1830 again,
while 5,309,60 Q were devoted to the Army,
6,991,163 k were awarded to the Navy. Until 1838,
inclusively, the disproportion in the same way was

rendered yet mere perceptible, the Army Estimates
never exceeding 4,700M001., whereas the Navy
Estimates v,r,4re during the same interval never
less than 6,400,0001. Iu Dia au increase in
Army expenses began to be perceptible—
the sum devoted to the land farces for that year
reaching a total of 5,490,2041., while the amount for
the
sea forcessill extended to an aggregate of
6,542,6621. : in the Aubzequeat yQ4r 1840, the Army
Estltiiites being again 5,597,5111., while the Navy
Estimates we re,6,890,267/ From 1841, as we have
already ifiti4.3ated, a change became perceptible,
placing, ,:tl:e to W. of„ the expenes for the mili-
tary considerably above the total of the
