REPRESENTATION or SOUTH STAPFORDSHIRE.—
WOLVERHAMPTON, SUNDAY.—To-day the first candi-
date for the representation of this division of the county,
vacant by the elevation of Lord Ingestre to the peerage,
has made his appearance in the person of Lord Lewis-
ham, the son of Lord Dartmouth. The young noble-
man has only lately come of .fige, and by the great body
of the commercial men of the district deemed utterly
unfit to represent the immense mining and other trading
interests of this district. This youthful nobleman is a
thorough Protectionist, a son of one of the old school,
little prone to change. He avows himself an out-and-
out Protectionist, and strongly opposed to the endowment
of the Roman Catholic Church in any part of these
u.re of
realms. He has also given a broad hint to Mr. Cobden,
by assuring the electors that to wasteful expenditure
the public money, and to injudicious and 111-considered
diminution of our military and naval establishments he
was equally opposed. The operations of tree trade in
on , has been
corn he will watch, and promote by all means in his
power the interests of agriculture. Mr. Charles S.
Forster, of Walsall,
a moderate C
invited to come forward, but be declitervativen% the houvur.
