ELECTION.

Aftnraxsax.—Mr. Ilitme's friends speak with great
confidence of the likelihood of his success, and it is stated
that be will'not experience much opposition.
NIKWARK.—The canvass has hitherto been very dull,
and the Members are rather dissatisfied with it. In some
instances there have been rather acrimonious conversa-
tions between the electors and candidates, anti several
curious scenes have taken place. Mr. Serjeant Wilde
certainly intends to offer himself.
No-mut:max (County).—J. S. Lumley., Esq., the
present Member, has stated that ha will, in case of a con-
test, pursue it with the utmost vigour. it is said that
Lord Rancliffe will retire, and that Mr. Birch and Mr.
Denman will offer themselves. Mr. Smith Wright is
also spoken of.
NORWICIL—Mr. Wm. Smith, who has so icing repre-
sented this city, retires. No r.ew candidate has yet started,
but rumour states that Banbury Gurney, Esq., and Dr.
Lushington, will offer thematives. A third candidate is
also spoken of.
Essex (County).—it appears that Mr, Bramaton, who
has fulfilled the laborious duties of Member for. this
county during the long apace of fourteen weeks, is not in-
clined to take them upon himself again. The reason
assigned by him is the expense of the contest.

IloNiTort.—Sir George Warrander and Mr. Guer.l

have commenced an active canvass for this borough.—
Mr. Lott, one of the present Members, having announced
his intention of retiring.
OXFORD (UNtvitaserv).—We understand that Sir ROA.
Peel has declined to stand another contest. This deter-
mination is ascribed in some Journals to an intention of
elevating the Right Hon. Baronet to the Peerage—an
honour which has been repeatedly offered: to him and as
repeatedly declined, from unwillingness to be ennobled
during the lifetime of his father. This reason, it is true,
no longer exists ; but when it is considered that Sir It.
Peel is now the sole stay of the Government in the Lower
House, it seems unlikely that the present moment should
be chosen to remove him from it. To an Irish Peerage,
however, to which Sir Robert's long services no doubt en-
title him, this objection does not apply; and it would be
a stepping-stone whenever he might feel disposed to avail
himself of it for his elevation to the House of Lords.....

Coal!Esrau.—There was a meeting of the freemen
of Colchester at the Kent and Essex lavern, on Mon-
day, at which a resolution was proposed disapproving of
the political conduct of Mr. D. W. Harvey ; but that
gentleman having moved that all persons who were adverse
to him should leave the room, it appeared that he bad a
large majority of supporters.
Ex ETICIL —There is a great bustle here, and it is thought
that a third man will he proposed in the room of Mr.
Kekewich, mod the Members, who retires.

TAUNTON.—The electioneering proceedings are going
on with spirit.
Sostrnstr.--h seems cert.iin that there will be no
contest for this county.

Gt.oucEsTEK.—Captain Frederick. Berkeley and J.
Philpotts, Esq. have become candidates for the represen-
tation of this city.
Sussxx.—There seems much doubt whether there will
be a contest for Sussex, for though several new candidates
have been mentioned, a belief prevails that the present
Members will be again returned. Henry Howard, Esq.
has again offered himself fur the rape of Bramber. Lewes,
Chichester, and perhaps Arundel, are the only places in the
county where a serious contest is expected.
Ilssmas.--The example of Rya has caused some ex.
citement here; but it is not expected to produce any par.
ticular consequences.
Ticw K SHUR Y. —The present Member for this borough,
Mr. Dowdeswell, has again offered himself.
11xaman.—The two present Members, Lord Eastnor
and Edward Bolton Clive, Esq., have again offered them-
selves for this city. The Members for the county, J. R.
Cotterell, Esq., and Robert Price, Esq., will also stand
again.

SUDDURY.—ThiII borough will be the scene of a severe
contest, Mr. Walrond, one of the late Members, has
just taken the field. Mr. Macleod retires, and is canvass.
ing for his native county in Scotland. An Essex gentle-
men intends to offer himself; and a gentleman upon the
independent interest has declared his intention to came*
the electors immediately after the funeral of his late Ma-
jesty. Sir John Walsh has been very favourably received
upon the Corporation interest, and has every prospect of
success.

BELL

Mr. Wntatur, at the satin r of the Court this morning,
applied for a special injunction ex-parte to restrain the
defendant from selling, printing, orpublishing M a work,uf
which he was the proprietor, called the World of Fashion,
a likeness of his late Majesty, riding in his pony phaeton
round Windsor Park. The short facts of the case, as ve-
rified by the affidavit of the plaintiffs, were these t—Osse of
the plaintiffs had made the drawingin question, represent-
ing his late Majesty in his pony phaeton ; that drawing
had been lithographed, the proof impressions of which had
been sold by the plaintiffs at 7s. Gil. each. The first print
was published on the 15th of May in the present year;
the sale,- which had bell very great, had latterly fallen off
very much. This induced the plaintiff to make enquiries,
when it was aceettained that the defendant had been pub.
liBhing a similar print in the 74th number of the World
of Fashion. Under the prints published by the plaintiffs
were the words the King, and so exactly had the darn.
dents copied the print in every particular, that those very
words bad been used by him.
His Honour, the Vice •CnA Et.Loa, thought there was
a sufficient case made out for the interference of the Cow t,
and granted the injunction's—lnjunction granted.
