ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

ABERDEEL—In opposttion to Sir Andrew Leith Hay,
George Thompson, Esq., late provost of the city, has
come into the field. Mr. Thompson is an extensive ship-
owner, of Liberal political principles.
GLOITCES rER.—A canvass, has been commenced on be-
half of Mr. W. P. Price, the head of the largest shipping
and timber-importing firms of Gloucester. Mr. Price is
a Liberal and Free-trader, and through his mercantile
connexion with Gloucester possesses a good deal of local
influence. It is understood that both the present Mem-
bers for Gloucester intend coming forward again. Ad-
miral Berkeley will again be a candidate; and Mr. H. T.
Hope announced at a recent public dinner held here, that
be should again offer himself. Mr. Hope is a Conservative
Free-trader.

HEREFORDSHIRE.—The three candidates in the field
are Mr. Booker, Mr. Hanbury, and Mr. King, Protec-
tionists. T. Evans, Esq., of Stilton Court (Conserva-
tive Protectionist) has been solicited, but declines. It
is understood that Mr. Cornewall Lewis will again come
forward on the Liberal and Free-trade interest.
LEOMINSTER.—Mr. J. P. Willoughby, brother of Sir
Henry Willoughby, ALP. for Evesham, has offered him-
self as a candidate for the representation of the borough
at the next election. Mr. Willoughby, in his address,
which is very lengthy, says—"l concur with those who
think that hostile tariffs are not to be contended against
by free imports; that we have acted injudiciously in
abolishing so hastily, and without any countervailing
measures, the protection formerly extended to British
capital and industry, and exposing it to the unrestricted
competition of tho untaxed, or comparatively lightly
taxed, foreign producer; more especially I hold that
free-trade without reciprocity (the condition on which its
earliest advocates proposed and supported the experi-
ment) is suicidal, and destructive of the permanent in-
terests of the British empire." Mr. Peel will offer him-
self again as a candidate, as also will Mr. Arkwright.
TEWKESBURY.—Mr. Cox, the new Conservative can-
didate, who offered himself last week, has been actively
pursuing his canvass, and yesterday Mr. Humphrey
Brown, one of the sitting Members, issued an address to
the electors soliciting renewed confidence, and affirming
his politics to be Liberal and free trade.
