ried on through the week with unabated seal by both parties.
We understand that the canvassing committees of Messrs.
Collier and Bewes have met with the most encouraging recep-
tion from the electors, amongst whom they have hot been able
to discover any symptoms of that reaction of which so much
has been said, and, judging from the returns hitherto made,
their seats are considered as secure. The Conservatives also
speak with great confidence of success.—Chronicle.
GLOUCESTER.—The friends of Mr. Phillpotts have an-
nounced their intention of putting him in nomination for the
city of Gloucester. Capt. Berkeley and Mr. Hope will
again be candidates. The contest will be severe.
TEWKESBURY.—The Hon. Mr. Law will not contest
Tewkesbury ; Mr. Martin and Mr. Dowdeswell arc at present
the only candidates.
CIRENCESTER.—The Reformers of Cirencester have re-
solved on inviting General Sir John Wright Guise, Bart.,
to stand for the representation of that borough, and to request
him to vote in Parliament for the full measure of Reform.
ST ROUD.—Lord John Russell has addressed the electors of
Stroud, soliciting a renewal of the trust reposed in him.
EAST CUMBERLAND.—We have heard of no demonstrations
in Westmorland. Report once said that Sir James Graham
was to be inflicted upon us. Lord Lonsdale, we suppose, will
save us from that disgrace. We had better be as we are, than
be misrepresented by that most unblushing of all apostates. We
rejoice that an opposition is being organized against him in
East Cumberland. A Requisition has been presented to F.
Aglionby, Esq., of Nunnery, to offer himself as a candidate in
conjunction with Mr. James. It is signed by the Howards
of Greystoke and Corby Castle, Mr. Marshall, of Halsteads,
Mr. Crackanthorpe of Newbiggin, Mr. Aglionby, M. P., and
many others of well-known respectability and influence. Mr.
Aglionby has consented to come forward, when 2,000 electors
have signed it. The requisition well delineates the character
of the Netherby Baronet, his inconsistency, and his gradual
march into the depths of Conservatism. At Cockermouth, in
1831, he complained of the nullification of his vote by his
colleague, Sir John Lowther. In 1835, he said of Sir
Robert Peel's Ministry, "it is as bad in its composition as I
can well imagine—for it is entirely composed of men to whom,
and to whose measures, I have all my life been opposed ;" and
now he joins those very men and supports those very measures.
If there be any virtue in the East Cumberland Constituency,
they will discard him for ever.—Kendal Mercury.
WETMOUTIL—Four candidates are already in the field,
viz., Messrs. Buxton and Burdon, and Lord Villiers and Mr.
Hope.
WILTSHIRE, SOUTH. —Mr. Bennett is threatened with an
opposition, on account of his disinterested support of the
Church-rate Bill.—There is, however, little hope for the
Tories in this quarter.
WILTSHIRE, NOhTII. —Messrs. Methuen and Long are safe.
WINCHESTER.—Three candidates are in the field—Mr.
Paulet St. John Mildmay, a Whig, who was defeated at the
last election by Bingham Baring; Mr. J. B. East, and Mr. B.
Escott, the rejected of Somerset—both of whom profess Con.
servative principles.
WOLVERHAMPTON—Mr. Groves, who had offered himself
as a Conservative, in connection with Mr. Benbow, has with-
drawn.

WORCESTER, EAST. —At a meeting at Droitwich, it was
resolved to put Mr. Horace St. Paul and Mr. Barneby (two
Tories) in nomination for this division. The Liberal can-
didates, Mr. Holland and Mr. Hodgetts Foley are in the field.
Wycomae.—Mr. G. H. Dashwood has announced himself
here, in place of one of the present Members who retires ;
Mr. Dashwood is a Reformer, and contested on the last
election the county of Bucks, in opposition to the Chandos
interest.
Wateeetgen.—Daniel Gaskell, Esq., M. P., has issued a
spirited address, offering himself a third time in the cause of
Reform. Mr. Sebright Lascelles has also issued an address
on the Tory side. A sharp contest is expected.
PONTEFRACT.—It is rumoured that Richard Milnes, Esq.
of Fryston Hall, Edwin Lascelles, E3q., of Harewood-house,
and Lord Pollington, of Methley-park (one of the present
Members) intend to cffer themselves as candidates for the bo-
rough of Pontefract. Mr. Gully retires.
NOTTINGIII M. —WC are frequently asked by the electors of
this town, who and what is this Mr. Horace Twiss, who has
the temerity to contest the town, or rather to convass it with
that object ? We partly answered the question in our last
Review, and showed that in the boroughmongering Parlia-
ment, the gentleman was one of the rankest opponents of the
Reform Bill, and was afterwards thrown out of Parliament,
when Miss Holmes's borough of Newport was put into its
proper schedule under the provisions of that Bill.
BaftesTaPLE.—Our Conservative Member, Major Fancourt,
has announced his intention to retire, from ill health. It is
said, on good authority, that D'lsraeli, the quondam " Whig
and something more," will be brought forward as a candidate
in the Major's room. Two or three other gentlemen are spo-
ken of as candidates under the same (Tory) interest, but the
reports are not quite definite enough to warrant the mention
of their names. Mr. Chichester's return is beyond doubt.
WINCIIRSTER. —On Saturday evening a meeting of the sup.
porters of Paulet St. John Mildmay, Esq. took place at the
Globe Inn, when resolutions were passed expressive of surprise
at Mr. Bickham Escott's soliciting the suffrages of the elec-
tors, and of confidence in the political integrity of Mr. Mildmay.
SANDWICH. The Queen's Government will gain a Member
here. Sir James Carnac, the Chairman of the East India
Company, arrived on Thursday, and proceeded to canvass both
this town and Deal with the most flattering prospects of suc-
cess. At both places he addressed large bodies of the elec-
tors, and the exposition of his principles was received with
the greatest enthusiasm. There can be no doubt that he will
be the colleague of Sir Thomas Troubridge.
WARWICK BOROUGH. —ln referring to the addresses of
Mr. Collins and Mr. Bolton King, returning thanks for the
very successful canvass they have made through the Borough,
the Leamington Chronicle says :—" Thus far they have
walked over the ground without impediment; and if men
arc endowed with consciences sufficiently firm to keep the
promises already made—if they are not prone to deceive both
their friends and themselves—if they can resist temptations
and lures, in eltatever shape they may he offered--the re.
election of both the present Members for Warwick is secured.
For the last week a variety of names of expected Conservative
candidates have been passed front one to another ; but it has,
up to yesterday, been mere sound without substance. No
gentleman in the neighbourhood could he induced to stand
forward ; for the gentlemen of the neighbourhood may be
supposed to be tolerably well aware of the unpromising pros-
pect. At length, however, a stranger to the town (Sir Chas.
Douglas) has entered boldly into the chance, and he arrived
among us yesterday ; and yet another good Tory (Mr.
Boughton Leigh, a county magistrate, living near Rugby) is
willing, we understand, to teats the electors and try his
luck. We are assured he will enter the town this morning
in style.' There is, then, to be a contest at last. We shall
soon know what will be the result. All we know at present
is, that two anti-Reformers are apparently determined to
struggle against the full tide of Reform principles, now be-
come strong in the honest minds of the Warwick electors.
The Dwarf challenges Hercules I Let there be fair play,
and if all men be honest we know how the contest will end.
SI:NDEELA ND. —Since our last publication there has been
considerable electioneering excitement in this town. In com-
pliance with a requisition, signed by nearly 600 of the electors
of the borough of Sunderland, Andrew White, Esq., our
worthy Chief Magistrate, has been induced to offer himself
as a candidate for its representation. The address which he
has issued, and which has been most extensively circulated,
has given great satisfaction to the constituency from the libe-
rality of the sentiments which .it avows. He has since can-
vassed the town, and the result is such as not to leave the
shadow of a doubt that he will eventually be returned by a
large majority. He was every where received with enthusi-
asm. • The professional friends of Mr. David Barclay have
Also made an active canvass, and they are sanguine in their
anticipations of success. Indeed, when it is recollected that
Mr. David Barclay has been a staunch supporter of the pre-
sent Administration, upon the strength of' his professed adhe-
sion to which he carried his last election; it will be admitted
that it was not likely that he should experience any declen-
sion of zeal and devotion amongst the constituency. The
friends of Mr. Alderman Thompson, too, have acted with
equal promptitude and diligence ; and if their own declarations
are to be relied upon, the success of the Hon. Alderman is
beyond the reach of contingency. Some squibs and handbills
have been circulated by the various ?artizans, and every thing
wears the aspect of a severe and determined struggle. The
prevailing opinion seems to be, that Mr. Barclay and the
Mayor will be the winning candidates. For ourselves, we
would deem it premature to speak with confidence as to the
final result.—Sunderland Herald.

GREENWICIL-Admiral Napier, the gallant liberator of
Portugal, has arrived here ; he is to meet the electors at this
place, Deptford, and Woolwich, and there is no doubt of his
success. The veterans of the Hospital arc in high glee at the
prospect of a sailor's return.

EAST SERREY.—Two Reformers will start for this division,
and there is ample strength to carry them both. Mr. Loche
King, nephew of Lord Ebrington, and son of the late Lord
King, whose politics and name he inherits, has bean requested
to stand, and will be warmly supported.
EAST CUMPERLAND.—A very influential requisition has
been yresented to Major Aglionby, in conjunction with Mr.
James, to come forward as candidates at the ensuing election,
in opposition to Sir James Graham.

Our Chippenham correspondent writes—" Mr. Neeld and
Capt. Bolder° will again be returned at the next election for
this Borough. The friends of the Gallant Captain have com-
menced an active canvass with every prospect of success. Tho
