i 71. ELECTION.

Fre,m the mass of provh:cial papers which we hare received
-day, we gather tie ,111):oinecl intaligence relating to the
geutral election nywements
LANCASTER.—Froin all se can see and bear, the contest
'or the borough of L!r c2ster at the ensuirg election will ha
most severe. All par.ies exuress themselves fully contlefmt
success. Greene, the Tory, ought to be drummed out.
Oferettry.
• NORTH Wn.rs.—When we say that the Tories of North
Wiltshire are politically defunct, or, at least, wiil soon be so,
Ne do not deal in assertion, but we speak from facts.—Leeds
Times.

V BATH.—WC understand thst the canvass of the Tories and
r of the supporters of Cart. Scebell is vely unseccessful. The
lr.tter ha:. sought to influence many of the ole supporters of
Mr. Roebuck, but we arc happy to learn witheut success.
Those v, ho constitute the Committee of Captain &obeli have
Valwnys opposed Mr. Roebuck, and are known to desire the
erevalem.e of Tory opinions rather than the success of one of
the most honest and te...rig,ht P..spresentatives that ever distin.
Zguished any constituency.—Bath Guardian.
r-i
-, BOLTON.-The Reformers of Belton have resolved to re-
ijostest Edmund As'eworth, Esq., of Turton, to come forward
'as a candidat:: in conjune:ion ei:h Nlr. Ainsworth, in order
hat the borough may no longer continue virtually disfran-
chised. A strong rumour has prevailed that the Tories wean I -to start Mr. Thomas Ridg

v•av, but there is nothing certain'.!
0 EldulF Ax.___NV owl is as Hyperion to a Satyr when compared
with Wortley. The .Express shows the electors how the lat-
. •.er gentleman has voted, and if they return him again they
_p-ibzudon their duty wilfully. Mr.
Wortley's professions were
liberal; Out his votes have been uniformly on the Tory side,
d he has done all in his power to perpetuate abuses, to im-
pede the pregrees of Reform.
Disste.:stites.—Sir George Crewe and Mr. Hurt are in the
0,,,. field for tl:e Southern Division. Sir George had a notion of
bolting, but the Tories, dreading the loss of their power in the
gls-,
M. auth, have prevailed upon him to remain
- P. We under-
tand there will be no opposition in the south.
In Derby the Tory barrister, Mr. Curzon, has as much
p. chance of being elected as of being Grand Lama of Thibet,
or limerror of all the Russias. The Members for Derby are
able, indefatigable, and consistent Liberals.—South Derby.
shire Chronicle.
BOROUGH OF DEVONPORT.-Our information last week was
. _correct. Lord Valletort has declined the invitation of the
Conservative Association to stand for this borough on the Tory
interest—Telegraph.
''
PLYMOCTIL-Messrs. Collier and Beeves, the sitting Mem-
,
bers, have commenced canvassing the electors. Sir James
Cockburn and the lion. Captain Blackwood have continued
, s their canvass daily, and both parties hold confident language.
, Ile contest will unquestionably be a severe one, but no ap-
-.;prehensions are entertained of the success of the Liberal cause,
wh:eli never looked brighter than at this moment,—Plymouth
Chronicle.

Sussex.—At Arundel, Lord Fitzallan, who has come for-
ward as a Conservative, to oppose Lord D. C. Stuart, whose
: votes, with one exception (that on Church Leases), have uni- '
formly been given in favour of the Whig-Radical Ministry, is
sure of his return. At Horsham, although the contest will be
severe, and although some shameful practices have been re-
.orted to by the Radicals, Mr. Broadwood will certainly eject
Mr. Hurst. At Chichester and Midhurst (a pocket borough
of the Whigs) there will, we apprehend be no change. For
, the western part of the county an opposition is spoken of in
'/the person of Lord Dudley Stuart, who, failing at Arundel,
will fall back on the county. On Tuesday evening, Mr. J.
M. Cobbett, the Radical candidate, son of the late Wm.
''' Cobbett, and who also stood at the last election for the city,
addressed a portion of the electors at the Market-house.—
Tory Paper.
WARWICK (Borough).—The present Members for Ibis be-
,. rough, Mr. Bolton King and Mr. Collins, have completed
their general canvas, and they have every possible reason to
.- . feel perfectly satisfied with the support they have received.
; Sir Charles Dough* (Mr. Boughton Leigh having prudently
gdeclined the how,or) has also this week canvassed the town,
tas a candidate on Conservative principles.-- Warwick Adver-
riser.

' KENDAL—We shall be freed from the corrupt thraldom of
the Lowthers, and achieve at length that triumph of which
e.I
...stoney and personal influence and intimidation have so long
defrauded us. Kendal will be restored to the dignity of a re-
presented borough, and, what is still better, will send as its
delegate. Mr. G. Wood, a gentleman every way worthy of the
-1
confidence of the electors—a gentleman qualified by educa-
tion, by ability, his mode of life, and by his position in society,
to watch over their interests.—Kendal Mercury.
HELSTON.—Lord James Townshend has declined again
ffering himself as a representative of this borough, on ac-
count of ill health, and Viscount Cantaloupe, eldest son of
the Earl of Delawarr, is now actively engaged in canvassing
the electors under the patronage of the Duke of Leeds.
The Reformers, however, arc on the alert, and have published
a spirited address to the electors, requesting them to reserve
;;their votes--a gentleman of Liberal principles being expected
in a few days to be in the field.
4,- ASHHURTON.---Mr. Lushington, the present Member, again
Is offers himself for this borough on the Liberal interest, but is
opposed by Mr. Utten Brownes, a gentleman of Nerfolk, and
Conservative. On the canvass each boasts of his success.
BARNSTAPLE.—The Conservative Member (Major Fan-
:court), has announced his intention to retire. It is said, on
. good authority, that Mr. D'lsraeli will be brought forward as
,4 a candidate. Mr. Chichester's return is considered certain.
• Hoerrox.—This borough it is expected will be sharply con-
es
et. tested. Colonel Baillic, the sitting Member, and a Conser-
.s„ervative, again comes forward. In the same interest also is Sir
.-- Alexander Grant, who cornea forward on the retirement of
. Mr. A. Chichester. In the Liberal interest Mr. Stuart has
>
', been brought forward, whose friends have instituted an ac-
tive caavass.
nee
Weewtex (Cousrr).—lt has been rumoured that a Re-
former will meet Sir John .:sfordaunt and Mr. Shirley, in the
Southern division ; and another report has stated within the
'--t last few hours, that Mr. Shirley intends to decline. We be-
-Hey°, however, there is at present no authority for either of
these statements. As to the Northern division, there seems
fto be some ground fora report that Mr. Gregory, of Stivi-
• shall, intends again to enter the field, and we understand with
a fair prospect of success.
:., OXFORDSHIRE, JULY 7.—( FROM A CORRESPONDENT. )---
:Major Weyland (Conservative) has resigned. Local Corn-
minces have been formed in every town in the count s requisitions signed to Thomas Stonor y, and
Esq. of Stono near Henle-sStonor park,
yon-Thames, ,to stand , ,
on the Liberal interest.
The signatures have far exceeded expectation, and Mr.
.t. Stonor starts with every prospect of success. Mr. T. \V. A.
.s Parker, of Ensham Halt, has addressed the electors on the
. Conservative side.
-. Oxeortesutete_We hear from various parts of the county
that
ne a requisitions to Thomas Stoner, Esq., soliciting him to
e' lecor candidate for the county have been extensively
-4. signed, and that Mr. Stonor is expected to declare himself
''''•
th eat imdiately. Knowing the strength of the Reform feeling in
uy, and the great dissatisfaction which exists in regard
f. -o the present state of the representation, we are not surprised
••• it this movement. l of tile county must take into
r. tccount, and will, toTrust, despise the cries which bigotry and
onoleranee may raise. It will doubtless be an unpardonable
, rffenee for them to believe that a gentleman belonging to
,i, inother Christian Church, is cap..blc o' f advocating their cause
Es tnd protecting their interests in the House of Commons ; end
they will probably he told that by supporting one whose family
• ha, been resident in the county for centuricii, they are consols
Ji.:• ..ators against both Church and
ants and supporters of our State ! As staunch ['rotes-
Church Establishment, we can
isi. -earlessly and conscientiously recommend Mr. Stonor to the
cehobters of this county. Mr. Stoner possesses every claim
vhich distinguished taletes and enlarged end liberal views and
eentisneofa upon all the great questions which are in agitation
-, can confer upon a candidate, awl is well qualified to take his
'lace among the firmest and most energetic Fupporters of libe-
::' -al measures. Be has for years declared his determination to
- support the Established Church, as an efficient eneirie of ren-
s' eiotes and moral improvement—has, in common with many ex-
.. cellent members of his own communion in this county, contri-
silted handsomely to the support of national schools, benefit '
fs, ocieties, and other similar institutions, and has on every ac-
:asion evinced tha: he is actuated by a spirit truly Christian
—oxf,rd Chronicle. aid patriotic.
. WORCESTF.R. —Mr. Cookes's address, on withdrawin
0` g f East Worcestershire, appears to-day, and we also insertrom the
.addresses of Mr. Ho,-ace St. Paul and Mr. Barneby, accept_
4:: ing the invitation male to them to offer themselves to the
electors on the Conservative interest. All four candidates are
1., now engaged in art active canvass. The representation of
pIFS West Worcestershire will remain in &Entre quo. The Conser.
vatives of Bewdlev have at length found an opponent to Mr.
wierting ton, in the person of Sir F. L. Goodrick, who re_
--P.7- ires from South Staffordshire. Mr. Pakington announces the
•ermination of his canvass for Droitwich, and that his " elec_ tion is secured by the promises he has received." We are
ers—old, however, that Mr. Gallon and hie friends aro hot less
1 ,atisfied at the result of that gent:eman's canvass, so far as it
`las proceeded. Mr. Godson has been engaged during the
week in soliciting the renewal of the suffrages of the electors
,f Kidderminster. There have been rumours that C. E.
F3ranEl, Esq., who has twice contested South Essex, and
again offers as a candidate, would come forward on the Libe-
li..
~al interest in opposition to the Learned Gentleman, but at
wesent we have no confirmation of these rumours ; and our
accounts from Kidderminster this morning, state that Mr.
Ondson continued the only avowed candidate for tho borough.

LEICESTEIL—Messrs. Duckworth and Easthope (the Li-'
ir.herals, who had stolen a march on their opponents

menced an active canvass on Monday
morning, continued
• with increasing success until last night.
As to the result of
:his election there can be little doubt. Sergeant Goulburn
will have to react the part of "the rejected," as " performed
-, )3! him with unbounded applause" at Ipswich ; while Mr.
Gladstone will have leisure to look out a snug constituency_
some Lancaster or Portarlington—where his name is well
i!mown, and where he can purchase votes by the hundred. We
tre assured that his father has been once convicted of bribery
:y the House of Commons, and that though he represented
'we or three towns he never went a second time to the szme
lace.--Leicester Mercury.
OLDHANI.—The Reformers of this borough have during the
ist week been busily engaged in endeavouring- to retrieve
the disgrace which has fallen upon the town by the return, to
Parliament at the last election of J. I. Blackhurne, Esq.
Of Mr. Fielden's and General Jackson's combined return we
`lave not much doubt.-3fanchester Times.
ASIITON.—Mr. I-findley's address has at length been issued.
The people of Ashton have good reason to be proud of their
representative. The Tories hare set lip a Mr. 'Wood, who has
-or:sewed to be played against air. liindley. A mejority of
