to pr ware any gentleman fo come forward on the Tory,
or Anti-lleforth side of the question, and their Ex-Member
(Sir Charles Hastings) having already paid more than suf-
ficien• for the honour of representing the party, make a
virtue of necessity, and say they shall offer no opposition
to either Mr. Evans or Mr. Edis.

LEICESTERSHIRE.—Lord Robert Manners and Mi.
Paget have announced their intention to solicit the suffrage'
of the freeholders ; and a requisition, signed by J. Packe,
Esq., E. C. Hartopp, Esq., and about thirty other prin.
cilia' landowners, has this day been forwarded to C. M.
Phillip, Esq. inviting him to become a candidate to re.
present the county. It is generally supposed that he will
comply with the request, and that Lord Rubt. Manners,
the Anti-reformer, must retire.

LEITH.—On Monday the inhabitants voted una vote,
an address to the King for having dissolved the late Par.
liament.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.—Mr. Denison having
declined to stand for this borough, the friends of that gen-
tleman have not yet definitely fixed on any candidate in
his stead. Mr. Stanley has been spoken of. Lord Francis
Leveson Gower is, it is said, hovering in the neighbour-
hood.

LIVERPOOL.—SeveraI influential gentlemen have in-
vited Lord F. L. Gower to come forward. Mr. Evart,
General Gascoyne, and Mr. Denison were canvassing on
Tuesday and yesterday.
LINCOLN.-111 r. Fardell has retired.
LUDLOW.—Lord Clive and his relative, the Hon. R.
Clive, have published a joint address to the burgesses,
whom they call " worthy and independent " It is one of
the closest of the nomination boroughs in England.

LANCASHIRE.—Mr. Wilson Patten has addressed
the freeholders ; he says, " though he cannot go the whole
length with Ministers, he is prepared to support the prin-
ciple of it as far as regards the disfranchisement of all no-
min ttion and corrupt boroughs, and the transfer of the
elective franchise to populous towns and counties." What
then does he oppose in it ? is it the extension of the
franchise to householders? Remember this, people of
Lancashire.

MARYLEBONE.—This parish meets for the same
purpose tomorrow, and other parishes in London are
about to follow the same example.

NOTTINGHAMSHIRE.—Mr. Evelyn Denison has
come forward in place of Admiral Sotheron, resigned;
Mr. Denison supports the Bill.
NEWARK.—The nomination took place yesterday;
the candidates are, W. F. Handley, EPq. Sir R. Gres-
ley, Bart. and Mr. Serjelnt Wilde. The state of the
poll was not known when the mail left.

NEWARK.—Mr. Sergeant Wilde will defeat the Duke's
nominee this time; the people being quite enthusiastic in
his cause. Mr. Sadler declares he his sick of the borough.

NOTTINGHAM, WZDNESDAY ArreaNuon.—We
have had another signal manifestation in the cause of
Reform; immediately after intelligence was received of
the dissolution, a very numerously signed requisition was
presented to the Mayor, requesting him to call a public
meeting for an address of thanks to his Majesty for his
appeal to his people. The Mayor appointed Wednesday
noon, at the Guildhall, but at the time appointed the num-
bers assembled were so immense that an adjournment was
moved, and the speakers addressed the thousands assem-
bled in the Week-day-cross, from the Council Chamber
windows. The meeting concluded by four times four for
the reforming King, proposed by General Sir R. C. Fer-
gusten, one of the Members for the town, who was loudly
cheered by the electors in addressing them. The band
then struck up " God save the King," all the people join-
ing in chorus. Ft iday is the day of election ; the Attor-
ney-General and Sir R. C. Fergusson will be re-elected
without cost and without opposition. The cause of Re-
form will have a signal triumph. As Sir Thomas Den-
man cannot leave town till Thursday, the public entry of
the candidates will be early in the morning of Friday.—
They are to be met on the bridges, a mile from the town,
and the procession will be headed by all the different elec•
tion colours now in Nottingham ; several of the old blue
flags, the colours of the Tory party, have been sent to
the Committee of Management ; the purple and orange
of the Whigs and Radicals are collecting in, and, with
a number of new ones, all will form one procession.—
The entry, the election, the chairing, and the exit, will be
all in one day. The Attorney-General has no time to be
wasted, In the county we are threatened with an opposi-
tion, a natneless candidate having been announced in a
shoal of hand-bills and placards which have. just arrived
from London, doubtless from the Committee of borough-
mongers ; but it will be of no avail ; the freeholders will
re-elect Mr. John &vile Lumley, and will replace Admiral
Sotheron by Mr. Evelyn Denison, who pledges himself
to support the Bill. The accomplished Sir Roger Gresley
has arrived in Newark, and has offered to display his
pugilistic prowess in the Market-place, having been
spencered by the people. Such is the creature the Duke
of Newcastle would cram down the people's throats !
Nothing has been heard of Mr. Sadler ; he has not bad
the civility to wish the Newatkers a respectful adieu. As
soon as the Nottingham town election shall be over, all
the workmen at elections will be off to Newark, Basset-
law, Derbyshire, or Leicestershire. If the boroughmongers
any where show fight, the Nottingham men will go as
auxiliaries to contest against them.
PORTSMOUTH.--Here all is safe for the Reforming
interest. Mr. Carter and Mr. F. Baring will be returned
without opposition. The whole town, by the letters of
yesterday, appears to have been in a singular state of ex-
citement. The sailors to a man participate in it, and
called the Reform question another fight for their King
and country.l
PRESTON.—Mr. Hunt and Mr. Wood are both at
present canvassing : the election takes place this day.
The electors wished Mr. Stanley to come forward, but he
has declined the honour ; they then waited on Mr.
Potter, of Manchester, who also declined, as he is can-
vassing Wigan. Mr. Charles Swainson was also invited,
but declined.

SALISBURY.—Mr. Wadham Wyndham, in his ad-
dress to the Mayor and commonalty, denies that he is an
enemy to all Reform. He has no objection "to the ex-
tension of the elective franchise to the respectable inhabi-
tant householders of his native city."

ST. IVES.—Mr. Wellesley and Mr. E. Lytton Bul.
wer will be returned without opposition for this borough ;
should I%lr. Wellesley be returned for Essex, he will vacate
the borough in favour of Mr. liaise, a Cornish gentleman.
SOMERSETSHIRE.—Mr. Northmore has responded
to the call of the freeholders, and published his opinions in
a manly, straight-forward, and spirited address. C.donel
Langton, in answer to the requisition to him to come for-
ward, states that he will be present at the nomination,
and " that if the freeholders should require his assistance,
as a colleague of Mr. Sanford, to curry through Parlia-
ment the ministerial measure of Reform, he will not deny
himself the pleasure of acceding to their wishes," but he
wishes it to be clearly understood that his election " must
depend upon the spontaneous efforts of the independent
freeholders of the county."

SHOREHAM.—Sir Charles Burrell and Mr. Howard
have both addressed their constituents in the rape of
Bramber, and we do not imagine there will be any oppo-
sition, as both these gentlemen voted for the Bill.—
Jirighton Gazette.
TAUNTON.—A letter received this morning (Wed.
nestlay) informs us that up to ten o'clock on Tuesday
morning there bad appeared no serious opposition to the
late Members, who are both strenuous advocates of the
Reform Bill. Some of the Tory party, indeed, commenced
a canvass for General Peachy, or a friend of his, as might
happen, on principles opposed to the Bill; but this absurd
struggle of an expiring faction only exposes them to ten-
fold ridicule. The agents of Mr. Bainbridge have all de-
clared their intention to act gratuitously.
TAUNTON.—Both the late Members, Mr. Labouchere
and Mr. Bainbridge, voted for the Bill ; and, from their
successful canvass hitherto, are certain of their re-election.
WORCESTERSHIRE.—Mr. Richards has resigned ;
the fury party have subscribed largely here, with the
Dowager Lady Beauchamp at their head for 50,0001.
WIGAN.—Mr. Richard Potter is here, after complet-
ing a most suapessful canvass : his principles are decidedly
at the right side. Colonel Lindsay retires. Mr. Wilbraham
and Mr. Thicknesse, the banker, areht e new. candidates.
WELLS.—The two late Members, Mr. Lee and Mr.
Vaughan, whose votes neutralized each other, are again.
canvassing ; and a third gentleman, mr. R. Blakemore,
is coining forward.

YORKSHIRE.—TIie proceedings of the Reformers in
the various districts are all that the friends of the great
measure can desire: they are everywhere on the alert, and
everywhere successful.

It was stated last night, that at a town within forty
miles of Londou,—we could not learn the name of the
place,—the people had hit upon a rather unusual expe-
diency to dispose of the Anti-Reforming candidate. He
Was met in the outskirts of the town by a large body of
the elector', who, to his great satisfaction, and somewhat
jt of tire, Witted on taking the horses from his carriage
