ELECTION MOVEMENTS.

LIVERPOOL. Lord Sandon and Sir Howard
Douglas both retire, and Liverpool has as yet no
candidate for its representation.
NORTH CHESHIRE.—The Conservatives have offered
to divide the representation of this division of the
county, and to return Mr. Egerton and the Right
Hon. E. J. Stanley without opposition.
_ _

SOUTH Lexcisnum—The address of Lord
Brackley, although not so radical as many of
the Liberal party might have wished, is still so
satisfactory that he will have the support of a vast
majority of the free-traders, and any opposition to
him by the embers of the League is out of the ques-
tion. To oppose the junction of the aristocratic
with the democratic party in South Lancashire, is
felt to be little short of madness.

HuLL.—This town is without candidates; Sir W.
James and Sir J. Hanmer both retire, and no
successors are yet named.
SCARBOROUGH. - Sir Frederick Trench retires
from the representation of this borough, and has
published his address announcing the retirement.
Lord Mulgrave will be returned in his place.
SOUTHAMPTON.-Mr. Wilcox and Mr. Cockburn,
Q.C., stand for this place, and with every prospect
of success.

NEWCASTLE-lINDEE-LYMS.--Mr. W. Jackson wil
no doubt be returned for this borough. Lord Ed.
ward Howard also stands on the Liberal interest.

WINDSOR.—Lord John Hay will come forward fur
this borough. A better candidate could not have
been announced.

SIR ROBERT PEEL AND THE REPRESENTATION OF
BIRDIINGHAM.—Some of the extreme Liberal party, who
were instrumental in getting up a requisition to Sir
Robert Peel to become a candidate for the representation
of the borough of Birmingham, wrote to the Honourable
Baronet, requesting to be informed if he would acceptit
if satisfactorily signed. An answer has been received
from the Right Honourable Baronet, in which, as we an
ticipated, he firmly declines the intended honour, re-
quests that further canvassing should not be attempted.
and that the requisition should not be proceeded with.
We may mention that at the high bailiffs annual enter-
tainment, Mr. M. untz reiterated his intention of again
becoming a candidate, but disclaimed any coalition with
Mr. William Scholefield, who the Liberals wished to as-
sociate with him in the representation. Mr. Spooner
also declared his intention again to offer himself.
BRIGHTON.—This borough will in all probability be
contested at the forthcoming election, the Brighton
Liberal Association having, at a meeting held on Friday
evening, resolved to bring forward W. Cunningham,
Esq., of Kemp Town, as the second Liberal candidate.
Mr. Cunningham has consented to stand, provided a
requisition be presented to him signed by a sufficient
number of electors to justify him in doing so. A requi-
sition is now in course of signature. The contest will
be between him and Lord Alfred Hervey, Capt. Pechell's
re-election being by all parties considered certain.
EAST SIISSEX.—Mr. J. V. Shelley, of Maresfield Park,
a Liberal and free trader, is to contest this division of
Sussex at the forthcoming election, with Mr. Fuller and
Mr. Frewen, the present Conservative Members.
I(ENDAL.—Mr. Gregson has issued an address in con-
tradiction of the report that he intended to retire from
the representation of Kendal at the approaching disso

IlltiOD:
NORTH CHESHIRE.—Ittr. Tatton Egerton has, it is
understood, consented to stand again for the northern
division of the county of Chester.
WEsle NORFOLK.-Mr. Baggo comes forward on the
Tory interest, to contest the representation with Mr.
Coke said Mr. Hammond.

Florence to say that he does not intend to offer himselt
again at the next election.
HERTFORDSHIRE.—Mr. Brand has consented to be.

come a candidate in the Liberal interest. It is reported
that KT. Abel Smith and the Hon G. D. Ryder will re-
tire from Parliament, and Sir H. Meux is to come for
ward on.the Conservative interest. The Conservatives
will be content to secure his election in conjunction with
Mr. H:asley, one of the sitting Members, and it is bg,'
lieved that no Liberal candidate will appear in the 'field
except Mr. Brand. The election is therefore likely to
be a mere matter of form.—Bucks Gazette.
STOCKPORT.—Up to last night (Friday), no regular
address had been issued by Mr. Alderman Kershaw, who,
it is generally known, is absent in Wales. He is, how-
ever, expected in town to-day (Saturday). Mr. Ker•
Shaw's. canvass is said to be going on very satisfactorily,
and his committee seem very confident of his ultimate
success. Meantime, the friends of Mr. Heald have been
very naive and energetic; they have commenced a csre-
