CONTESTED ELECTIONS.

ne rumours respecting the period of the dis-
solution of the present Parliament are as various
as the vivvis and objects of the different Can-
didates. lta A .
in the best-informed circles it is ac-
c. —euged that, at the present moment, the
o ntwiverninent have not definitively decided on the
subject, and Willno t until the (2.2 d instant, when
Cabinet Council
will, it is understood, be held-
;ne probability is, that, should a dissolution be
oieterniined upon, it will not take place until after
t 'e Quarter Sessions—for as there is not, in the
general opinion of the Country,
sbity for a General any public neces-
Election this year, it cannot
''lPPosed that any partial views will be
41 -°vlted to interfere with or delay the admini-
-1% tie°e of the criminal justice of the nation.
;thebesides, it would see many
paeigilltY reasons for continuing themreserit
-rLiactilent another Session—arising not only
t ci* the present domestic state of this Coun-
tr and the Sister Kingdom, but out of its pre-
aet!t relations with foreign States, which arei
kitaatialleY taitsn'eu,tilahig a more interesting, and at t
more important and serious aspect ;
tiiwe can hardly imagine that the Government
porGti,"l embarrass the consideration of these lin-
4-;ant questions with the difficulties which ne-
a dii:rilY result from an appeal to the country by
reason '"°llltion of Parliament. Indeed, we have
~ to believe that the rumours which have
tlwtm circulation are wholly without founda-

lion an less probability of an early disso u.-

term well understood by all who know any thing

EAST RETronn.—Some time ago the present
Representatives in Parliament for East Retford,
declared their intention of withdrawing them-
selves from the representation of this Borough
(Mr. CROMPTON wishing to offer • himself for
Derby, and Mr. Evass, on account of ill health) ;
in consequence of which JOSHUA 'WALKER, Lsq.
M. P., and Sir ROBERT DUNI:AS, K. C. 8., came
forward, and each canvassed the Borough, with
every prospect of ultirnat success. During
the last week, however, JOSHUA WALKFt,
Esq. wrote to one of the Burgesses, stating, that
on account of ill health he should decline
coming forward at the next election. Since
then, hand-bills have been posted in • different
parts of the town, announcing that a gentleman will
wait upon tilt, electors in the course of the pre-
sent week, and that he is determined to stand the
poll. Circular letters have also been sent round
by another candidate, whose name also is as yet
unknown. Sir J. V. B. JottssToNk, Bart. of
Ifacktiess in the county of York, is also expect-
ed. One of the EPutlPmen above alluded to is
said to be W. A. MA nocKs, Esq. of Tregunter
Park, in the county of Brecon, one of the present
representatives for Chippenham,
I'4 ills.—(:llorrt-
ing Paper.)

PLYMOUTH.-Various rumours have for some
time prevailed in this town, respecting a contest
for the representation of this borough, at the
expected dissolutiowof Parliament, but, we have
learnt from good authority, that neither of the
Gentlemen, mentioned as likely to come forward
to stand for the borough in Parliament, have ex-
pressed their intention to that effect. We believe
the whole to be au idle rumour, invented to serve
an electioneering purpose. Whatever grounds
for complaint the freemen may have against either
of the present Members, no contest is expected
by those best informed on the matter.—(Plpriotais
Journal.)

TAUNTON, SEp•r. 14.—0 n Friday last Mr.
BARING resigned all pretensions to represent the
borough of Taunton in Parliament, at the next
general election. Mr. BAIZINCi'S address to that
effect was dated London, 31st August—and was
not published at Taunton till the 9th of Sep•
tember. A report is in circulation, that Mr.
WAttlis: has no intention to offer himself as a can-
didate at the next general election fur this
borough.—(Dorset County Chronicle.)
