CONTESTED ELECTIONS.

REMEWSIIIRE.—The New Candidate for this district
is W. Maxwell Alexander, Esq. •
PERTLISHIILE.—The contest for this County will, it is un-
derstood, be severe, and it is generally expected that the
number of contests in Scotland will be greater than at any
former election.

BERWICK-will be fought desperately, as a very strong
Tory party has been formed to carry the election.
QUEENBOROUGII-it seems, will be the scene of great
exertion, and Mr. Capel's friends are most sanguine that he
will succeed.

CANTERBURY.—The Candidates are Lord Clifton, Mr.
S. Rumbold Lushington, and Mr. Morrison, a gentleman of
large fortune and independent principles—extensively engaged
in trade, and who, it is said, is admirably calculated to revive
the Silk and Muslin Manufacture of Canterbury.
DOVER.—The Candidates for this ancient Cinque Port, are
Mr. Bootle Wilbraham, Mr. Butterworth, and Mr. Thompson.
Hythe, and other places in Kent, are expected to be contested.
LoNnoN.—The Candidates mentioned for the City are Mr.
Wilson, Mr. Alderman Wood, and Mr. Alderman Brydges
(the present Members), the Lord Mayor, Mr. Alderman
Waithman, Mr. Alderman Thompson, and Mr. Alderman
Lucas. Sir William Curtis, Bart., it is understood, retiree
altogether from Parliament.

Hartwrcll.—We are informed, that there is not any foun-
dation for the rumour that Mr. Canning retires from the
House of Commons, and that Lord Clanricardc is to take a
most important official situation in the Administration !
GUILDFORD.—This ancient and respectable Borough will
be severely fought. The Candidates are, Mr. Sergeant
Onslow, Mr. Wall, Mr. Drummond, Mr. Delap, and a Gen-
tleman who contested this place at the last election.
StmaEu.t3t.—The Candidates for this Borough are Sir
C. M. Burrell, Bart., the Hon. Mr. Howard and. Mr. Sag-
den the Barrister.—[The Correspondence of this latter Gentle-
man with a distinguished Peer forms the chief conversation
at present in West Sussex !]
LxWES.—T. H. Kemp, Esq. M.P. for Arundel, is now can-
vassing Lewes with extraordinary perseverance.
WOODSTOCK—is expected to be warmly contested. The
names of five candidates already appear on the lists—viz. the
present Members, Mr. Langstone and Mr. Gladstone ; the
Marquis of Blandford, Lord Ashley, and Mr. IP William, of
Torrington-square, London. The latter Gentleman gave a
splendid entertainment at the. Balloon Inn, on Tuesday last, to
all the Freemen of Woodstock resident in Oxford.

MAr.no)r.—This Borough will occasion a struggle little in-
ferior to the last contest for Essex. The voters are estimated at
1800. The new Candidate is Mr. Wilkes.

TAUNTON.—Mr. Alexander Baring, in a letter to Sir Thos.
Lethbridge, states, that the address to the Voters of Taun-
ton, which has been animadverted upon with much asperity by
the rival candidates, was published without his knowledge.--
General Peachy and Mr. Baylay, in consequence, have pub-
licly stated, that the strong expressions used by them in repro-
bation of it, are inapplicable to Mr. Baring.

( To be continued.)

WINCHESTER, Str•r. 10.

The Rev. George Pretyman, LL. B. (second son of the
Lord Bishop of 'Winchester), on Saturday last took posses-
sion, with the usual ceremonies, of the prebendal Stall, pre-
sented to him on the decease of the late Rev. C. A. North.

We understand from authority, that the paragraph in our
last week's paper (copied from another paper), stating that the
Rev. R. Pretytnan, son of the Bishop of Winchester, had been
presented to the livings of Alverstoke and Havant, Hants,
vacated by the death of the Rev. C. A. North, is entirely with-
out foundation.

V
The Hampshire Law Society, held a dinner at the White
Hart, in this city, on Tuesday last, which was attended by se-
veral of the most respectable professional gentlemen in the
county. Staning's accommodation was highly satisfactory, and
his wines good.
The choice of Mayor of Winchester, is to take place on
Monday, the 19th instant, when our present respected Chief
Magistrate (Gyles King Lyford, Esq.) will terminate his
Mayoralty. The intended successor is not yet known,—
for, prior to a general Election,—there is always a cer-
tain degree of mystery in the proceedings of " the Cham-
ber" which is not known to the inhabitants of this ancient
City, until after the Election. It is whispered, that at the
General Election a preliminary objection will be taken to
the Votes of the non-resident freemen, in order to ground a
petition to the House of Commons to try the legality of them.
It is not understood, that any contest is intended, with the
Candidates who are the present Members—but merely the
necessary formal measures will be adopted to carry into effect
the wishes of the inhabitants at large, that this interesting ques-
tion may be put at rest.

The following is an extract of a letter dated
Port-au-Prince, July 26 :—" The President BOYER quitted
" this place last night for Cape Hayden, with all his Staff,
" Secretary of State, Secretary-General, &c. It is stated that
" the people there are quite dissatisfied with the arrangement
" with France, and fancy they have been sold." Cape Hay-
den, it should be recollected, was the seat of CTIRISTOPIIE'S
Government; but fell into the hands of BoYErt, on the ter-
mination of the contest between them. It is the point, there-
fore, in which the popularity of the President is the least to be
depended on for carrying him through a difficult crisis.

bute, of London, which arrived here on 30th ult., was chased
On the 29th May, the island of Bravo, Cape de Verd, bearing
E.S.E. 80 leagues. by a very suspicious brig, much disguised,
which fired into her, and after exchanging a few shots made
off; she appeared to be about 160 tons, filled with men, and
principally black.

KINGSTON, JAMAICA, JULY 27.—0 n the ISth
instant a French vessel of war. arrived at St. Jago, last from
Porto Rico, bringing Brigadier-General Francisco 11lay, the
newly appointed Governor of St. Jago. He and his family were
landed on the 19th, and was received with great respect by the
public functionaries, as well as by the inhabitants generally.
GENERAL VEPE.—Soine time ago 'a paragraph
went the round of the Papers, stating that General PEPE
died at Brussels. A correspondent received a letter from the
General yesterday, in which he begs that the report may be
contradicted.—(Morning Chronicle.)
• A letter from La Gunyra of the 16th of July
mentions, that two Spanish vessels laden with
sugar had been captured by the Colombians and
carried into that port. On account of the high
price of that article the cargoes were purchased
with great avidity by the inhabitants.
The King of TuscAxy has addressed a letter
to the Archbishop of PARIS, directing that a so-
lemn funeral service should be performed on the

Consul-General in America. M. SULZER, the
