IRELAND.

DROGHEDA.-111r: North's vote has already lost him
this place. His successor will be Mr. Wallace, who sat
a short time in Parliament in Mr. Canning's Administra-
tion for one of the Government boroughs,
KERRY.—In place of Mr. M. Fitzgerald Mr. J. Bar-
nard is in the field.
ROSCOMMON.—Lord Lorton is endeavouring to
oppose the late Members, who are both honest, though
one, Mr. French, is a bad attendant it Parliament. Mr.
Lloyd, an Orangeman, and conscluently a hater of every
thing in the shape of freedom , is Lord Lorton's nominet.
LIMERICK (Carr).—A strange infatustrd attorney,
slimed Dickson, without pretensions either of station,
intelligence, or connexions, and who at the late election
suffered himself to be made a tool of by the Orange Cor-
poration of this city, has the madness and folly, for it is a
combination of both, to attempt an opposition to Mr. S.
Rice. No honest citizen of Limerick will even consent to
have such " a thing" put in nomination now, to the hazard
of Mr. Rice.

WATERFORD (CouNTY).—The Reformers have lren
unsuccessful in their endeavour to get Mr. Power, the late
Member, to come forward and oppose Lord George Beres-
fold. It is said that Mr. Winston Barron, a Catholic
gentleman of family and influence, will start against the
noble Anti-Reformer.

KILKENNY (Couttri-).—Colonel Butler declines
coming forward now, though sure of success, because it
would only throw out a Reformer, both the late Members
haring supported the Bill.
CLARE (CoyNrY).—Mr. O'Gormsn Mahon and Mr.
M. O'Connell contest the county. They should arrange
the matter without going to the hustings and splitting the
independent interest.
WESTNIEATH.—An Independent Reform Club has
been formed to support Mr. Chapman, who is for the
Bill, and return for his colleague another candidate on the
same principle, in opposition to the effete Orangeman
Colonel Rochfort.

GALWAY (Towx).-111r. tlake, the Chief Remem-
brancer, and as intimate friend of the Marquis Wellesley,
stands here. Mr. Val. Blake resigns his pretensions in
his favour. A brother of the late Member is, however,
in the field. They are all % formers. It is said Mr.
Bodkin wilt start : if so, be bas perhaps the hest chance.

CARLOW (Couwrv).—This county, which has so
long been a family borough, has at length awakened and
found out its real strength. Colonel Bruen, the late
Member, opposed the Bill by his vote—the other, Mr.
Kavanagh, his father-in-law, by his wish for the gout was
in favour of Reform, and kept him at home. They are
both likely to be turned out of the county they have so
long ruled with a rod of iron. Sir T. Butler, a reformer,
announc,d himself, and at once, with the instinct nature
to the em mien of light, Mr. Kavanagh retreated. Sir
J. M. Doyle has been solicited to come forward on the same
side as Sir Thomas Butler, but be declined. Where is
Mr. Horace Rochfort or Mr. Newton, provided the latter
pledges himself to vote for the Bill ? Either would throw
out Colonel Bruen.

WATERFORD (Crrr).—No opposition to Sir John
N Impost.

WEXFORD (CoutiTv).—Lord Valentia will be op-
posed by Mr. Lambert, a reformer.
LOWTH.—Mr. Dawson safe ; Mr. M'Clintock no
chance ; Sir H. Goodericke gives way to Mr. Sheil, and
Sir P. Bellew to a third candidate, if the Crown accepts
his shrievalty ; all are reformers.

LElTßllii.—Ag-ainat Colonel Clements, who is an
enemy of the Bill, Lord Clemente and Mr. O'Beirne, both
on the other aide_ are named as probable candidates.

ICING'S COUNTY.—Colo'nel Bernard's absence on
the amendment of General Gascoyne will, unless properly
explained, lose him his seat, notwithstanding that he voted
for the second reading of the Bill. Mr. Craven Westenra
has addressed the electors on the rigbt side.
MEATH. .Four Reformers up for this county; two
of them, that is, the new candidates, a Mr. Fergus
O'Crimor and Mr. of Loughcrea, are mad, else why
put the late Members to expense ? all they can do.
DUBLIN (Coulirv).---111r. George Hamilton does not
etart on this occasion, and it is probable the late Members
will he re-elected : at all events the canoe is safe here.

GALWAY (Cout4Ty).—Mr. J. Daly, who declares
himself an opponent of the Bill, says he will oppose the
late Members. He imagines if he can aid in the defeat
of the measure, he will get his long premised peerage in
the premiership of Sir Robert Prel. Fool!
DERRY (Crrar).—Mr. Conelly Lecky is in the field
against Sir Robert Rateson. This is unfair. Retire, Mr.
Leeky, at one, if you be what you state, a friend to the
Reform Bill.

DUBLIN.—An active canvass was going on all day
yesterday, by the friends of independence for carrying Mr.
Perrin triumphantly through the contest for the repre-
sentation for Dublin. We trust that this eminent aivo-
care will yield to the solicitations of his numerous friends,
and stand by our excellent Lord Mayor in the glorious con-
test.—Dublin Paper.
TOWN OF WEXFORD.—Mr. Walker, a Re-
former in Church and State, a man of ability and decision,
will be the representative for this town.
DOWN COUNTY.—Mr. Crawford will turn out Lord
Castlereagh. He will be supported by Colonel Ford and
the Reformers, and it is hoped by Lord Downshire.

ELECTIONEERING MOVEMENTS.--The re-
electinn of the Right Hun. CHARLES GRANT for this
county, will be contested by Col. BAILLIE, late representa-
tive for the Inverness district of burghs, and it is also ex-
pected that Mr. MACLEOD, of Macleod, will come forward.
Col. BAILLIE, it is understood, will be succeeded in the
burghs by Major CUM MING BRUCE, of Roseisle, and
KINNAIRD, who has already secured the votes of Nairn
and Forres : Nairn is the returning burgh at the next
election. Mr. MACLEOD, yr. of Cadholl, has started for
Cromarty, and it is expected that Mr. DavinsoN, of
Tulloch, will take the field for the same county. An
active canvass is going on in Ross-shirr.—lnverness Cour.

The Gazette of Tuesday evening proves the
correctness of our information with respect to the flight,
as a defaulter, of the ex-31.1'. for Surrey. CHA IS.I.ES
NICHOLAS PA LLMER is there declared bankrupt, as a ship-
owner, and called on to surrender to his creditors. Ten
or twelve years ago this person launched forth in the
world with the reputation of possessing a large income
from West India property in right of his wife. 'Whatever
that income might have been in prosperous times, it soon
sunk in the same proportion as that of other proprietors ;
and Mr. PA I.I.3IER'S pride proving greater than his inte-
grity, he continued spending some 8,0001. or 10,0001.
a-year long after his estate was wholly unproductive. The
result of the system under which be raised the necessary
supplies is a debt of 100,0001. due to the firm with which
he was connected. It is said the ex-Hon. Gentleman has
written from Paris to say that every one will ultimately be
paid. On such a subject a little trading slang may be ex-
cused—" We wish they may get it"— Observer.

The people of Manchester having been dis-
appointed in their expectation of Lord JOHN RUSSELL
standing for Lancashire, have found an eligible candidate
in their townsman, Mr. Hgvwoon, the banker. As the
" sinews of war " are ready, the defeat of Mr. WILSON
PATTEN is no longer questionable. Our neighbours have,
by their public spirit and great liberality, done themselves
infinite honour ; and their efforts, we have no doubt, will
be nobly seconded by a county which has so much to gain
by the Reform Bill. It was the first, and not the last,
vote of Mr. WILSON PATTEN that surprised every body.
He had been originally selected to represent the county by
the remains of toryism that still lingers amongst us ; and
his boyish appearance and evident incapacity, show that
they were in considerable difficulty when they were ob-
liged to select one who had so little to recommend Hui.
He cannot speak three sentences consecutively—and the
words which he utters with so much difficulty, are, like
other abortions, mindless. His personal appearance is (le-
ficient in every thing approaching becoming dignity ; and
he does not possess any of those mental accomplishments
that could atone, in a popular assembly, for his want of all
those physical advantages which recommend some men.
The county will therefore benefit by his retiring from
public life; and it confers an additional honour on the
people of Manchester, that, when refused by Lord JOHN
RUSSELL, they applied, not to a stranger or a nobleman,
but to a fellow-townsman—one recommended by bis cha-
racter, his principles, and his knowledge.—Liverpool
