HUDDERSFIELD.

The canvass of the Huddersfield constituency on behalf
of Mr. George Wilson, chairman of the Anti-Corn-law
League, resulted in about 410 signatures being attached
to the requisition, besides as many absolute promises of
support as brings the number up to 532 voters. With
such a result, and as not more than 1,000 electors (at
the utmost) ale likely to poll the event of a contest,
Mr. Wilson's return may be regarded as secure against
any candidate of any party.
HULL. _ .

Since our last the only movement made in this town
with reference to the approaching election has been on
the part of the "Liberal" supporters of Mr. Clay.
Nothing definite transpired with reference to a second
candidate in the Liberal interest, but a young man, a
brother of our former representative, Mr. Hutt, now
MP. for Gateshead, was, we learn, spoken of. Mr.
Joseph Sykes was, we understand, asked to stand, but.
refused.—Hull Packet.

LEEDS.

The reception given to-Mr.§turge by a public meet-
ing of the inhabitants of Leeds, consisting of about
10,000 persons, in the Cloth hall yard, on Monday eve-
ning, corresponded with that given by the Liberal elec-
tors on the previous Thursday in the Music-ball. A
vote was passed in his favour, so nearly unanimous that
only three or four hands were seen to be held up on the
negative side in that great assembly. The section of
Liberals who support Mr. Aldam have communicated
with that gentleman, but no decision whatever has been
come to. We apprehend it would be perfectly vain and
hopeless to bring forward the hon. gentleman under pre-
sent circumstances.—Leeds Mercury.
LICHFIELD.
Mr. Mostyn has announced himself as a candidate for
Flintshire ; so that there can be little doubt now that
the vacancy in this city will be supplied by Lord Anson,
the private secretary to Lord Palmerston. At present
the friends of Captain Dyott have taken no steps with
respect to the election. Should the gallant officer come
forward in the Conservative interest the seat of Lord
Alfred Paget would be in danger.
MALDON.
Mr. Waddington visited Maldon again on Monday last
for the purpose of calling upon some of the electors ; he
will shortly make a general canvass. We are informed
that his return with Mr. Dick at the next election is con-
sidered certain.—Essex Standard.
MA RYLE BONE.

The fallowing is a copy of the opinion in Mr. Salo
mans' case :

We have considered the very peculiar circumstances
of this case, and are of opinicn that Mr. Salomons
cannot decline to act as returning-officer for the borough
of Marylebone during the current year; that the sheriffs
have no power to accept his resignation, or to appoirlt
any other person to that office; and that he is not
eligible to serve in Parliament for that borough so long
as he holds the office.

RETFORD AND BASSETLAW.
It is generally believed that both Captain Duncombo
and Mr. Vernon intend to offer themselves again. Of
the return of the format- there scarcely appears any
difference of opinion, but the latter having, from the
instability and time-serving course which he has pur-
sued, regardless of the expressed opinions of his con-
stituents, completely alienated the good opinion of all
parties, we are well assured he will be strenuously, and
without a doubt most successfully, opposed by one
whose consideration for the opinion of his constituents
will be more in accordance with the feelings of the
electors; but who is to be the man, is perhaps too much
to say. It is currently rumoured, however, that a son
of a resident nobleman will offer himself; and it is also
said by others it is to be the worthy baronet command-
ing the Sherwood Rangers. A third report adds, that
the free traders of Manchester are also to have their man
sent here.—Notts G SANDWICH.
As we stated last week, Lord Clinton, son of the Duke
of N
" No Popery" candidate
against the two Liberals, Lord Paget and Mr. Grenfelli
butit
has appeared, as a
wiscanstolte,
far a
moment supposed that he has the
slightest chance of success.—Dover Chronicle.
e
STOKE-UPON-TRENT.
At a meeting of a section of the Whig-Radical party,
held within these few days, it was determined to again
support Mr. Ricardo, and to invite a second candidate to
become his colleague, to. the ejection of Mr. Alderman
Copeland. This course is, however, strongly condemned
by many of the leading gentlemen in the Liberal interest.
Alderman Copeland's connexion with the trade of the
district, the moderation of his political opinions, and his
great services with regard to the obtainment and forma
tion of railway communication throughout the Potteries,
render his re-election pretty certain.
WORCESTERSHIRE (EAST).
Captain Rushout, in consequence of ill health, will not
offer himselt for re-election ; and, in all probability, the
Hon. W. Ward, the brother of Lord 'Ward, will be in-
vited to take the place of the Gallant Officer. Mr. James
Arthur Taylor, it is understood, will retire, and, accord-
irg to the terms cf the Droitwich agreement, Mr.
Hodgetts Foley will be allowed to walk over the course
as his successor without
.opposition. Such is the present
aspect of affairs in this division of Worcestershire.
WORCESTERSHIRE (WEST).
No opposition is likely to be offered to the return of
General Lygon and Mr. Knight.
WORCESTER (CITY).
The citizens of Worcester, or at least some active
persons on their behalf, have already named a host of
candidates to represent them in next Parliament. First,
there is Sir Denis Lo Marchant ; all persons are agreed
that he is a fit and proper person to represent a coin-
