ELECTION INTELLIGENCE•

CITY OF LONDON.

Yesterday six gentlemen who have come forward
as candidates for the city of London issued addresses
to the electors, which will be found in another part
of this paper. Baron Lionel de Rothschild, Mr.
Robert Wigram grawford, Mr. George J. Goschen,
and Alderman Lawrence offer themselves in the
Liberal interest, while Mr. George Lyall and Mr.
R. N. Fowler come forward as Conservative candi-
dates. To promote the election of the latter a com-
mittee of influential men in the city, with Mr. Thos.
Baring, M.P., at its head, and Mr. Alderman Cope-
land, M.P., as vice-chairman, has been installed at
the London Tavern for canvassing the constituency.
The constituency is composed of free liverymen
and £lO householders within the old city limits and
its liberties, and the registered electors number from
18,000 to 20,000. Ordinarily only about a third of
them vote at a contested election. At the last con-
test, in July, 1861, for the seat vacated by Lord
John Russell, 5,747 voted for Mr. Western Wood
(Liberal) and 5,241 for Mr. Cubitt, the then Lord
Mayor, moderate Conservative.

commotion in the county. Sir Robert Anstruther
has given the highest satisfaction to the constitu-
ency generally, both as to his attendance on Parlia-
mentary duties, and his votes on important ques-
tions which have come before the House during the
short time he has been member for the county ; it
is, therefore, believed in the best-informed circles
that he will be returned without opposition.—
