ELECTION MOVEMENTS.

TAUNTON.—Mr. Labouchere has ann;;;etilisinten-
don of again being a candidate for this borough. He
remarks, that having enjoyed the confidence of the
electors for more than twenty years, it cannot be neces-
sary for him to state his political principles at any
length, but that he shall continue to be the firm friend
of rational freedom, both civil, religious, and commer-
cial. Mr. Arthur Miles, of 34, Hyde-pack-gardens, has
also intimated that he again offers himself as a candi-
date. He avows himself to be dtc.cledly opposed to the
continued endowment of Maynooth. In regard to - the
agricultural interest, he observes:—" With reference to
the great interests of agriculture and manufactures,
whose prosperity I have always believed to be insepa-
rably interwoven, I shall deem it my duty, without
ing myself unconditionally with any party in the
state, to support any equitable measures for the relief of
that unequal pressure on the owners and occupiers of
land, which at the opening of the last session of Parlia-
ment was on high authority admitted to exist. I shall
at the same time resist all class legislation which may
tend to enrich one section of the community by sacrifi-
cing the interests of another."
EAST SUFFoiK.—Sir F. Kf,lly addressed a numerous
meeting of electors at Framlingham on Saturday, and in
reply to the query whether ho would support is motion
for the repeal of the malt-tax, distinctly stated that he
would not do so, for the revenue arising from it was
too large for any Ministry to risk its repeal.
-HASTINGS—Mr. Robert Hollond has anuounce‘l that
he does not intend to solicit a continuance of the ho-
nour of representing the borough. There are four
candidates in the field—two in the Liberal and Free-
trade interest, namely, Mr. John Ashley Warre, who

for the Arctic ships, the construction of which has been
superintended by Mr. Kilburn, of Regent-street. Dr.
Demville, of the Resolute, takes charge of the instru-
