borough as to throw into onitz...rlon all clectictnary cal-
culati,irs.

PRESTON.—Mr. Robert. Te:vnley Parker, who sat for
Preston from 1837 till 1841, has been broug,ht Sor ward
by the Cons,rvatives as a candid :0 for this ho:ough.
Mr. Paiker's commiNce have
.publish :d a totter
from him to Mr. Charles Swaiden in imating .we
expesttion of h. s
readiness to stand, but viving Ti,
political principles. When in Parliament before he
was a Protectionist, and a steady supporter of the then
policy of Sir Robert Peel. Mr. Parker was a candidate at
the election in 1841, but was then defeated by a large ma-
jority._ The addresses of Sir-George Strickland and Mr.
Charles Pascoe Grenfell, containing the custema..y pro-
testations of adherence to free trade doctrines, to the
prieciples of civil and reiia6ious liberty, and to the pone),
of progressive reform anda reduction of the burdens of
taxation, were published on Tuesday morning, and have
given general satisfte2tion.
SUNDERLAND.—The contest in this place is assuming a
warlike asnect between the Liberal candidates, or rather
their friends, who are now convinced that Mr. Hudson
supporting Mr. Wilkinson and Mr. Birclay are Patch
large msjurity, and the parties
will be elected by a very
sting their efforts to secure the second seat for the
eandithlte whose cause they respectively espouse. The
Wilkin,on party are very
hostile to Mr. Barclay, and
express their detertninatien to defeat his election, if
possible. Mr. Barclay has to-day ruLlished an address,
in which he states that he is
gratified to fled, from the
promises:- of votes that have been made to him, that he
will again be returned, and he at the sense thee pkdges

SIT-furnv (EAST).—The prospt et of an uncontested
election remains undiminished. No Tory candidate has
yet appeared against Messrs. King and Alcock.
WORCESTERSHIRE ( EAST).-1)ROITIVICII, TUESDAY.
-Mr. 1 °teas Foley, who it will be remembered retired
from the contest last Christmas, on the death of Mr.
Barneby, is the first in the field fir East Worcestershire.
His address has appeared here (the returning place for
the division) this afternoon (Tuesday). Captain Rush-
out, the present Afternber, will solicit re-election; and it
is not expected (in consequence of the extraordinary
cimpact entered into at the last t lection) that any oppo •
sition will be raised to, Mr. Foley's election.
YARMOUTIL—There are now five candidates canvass-
ing for the representation of this borough, three of whom
must necessarily either withdraw or be defeated. They
are Mr. Rumbold (who has represented the borough 30
years), Mr. F. H. Goldsmid, Mr. R. J. Bsgshaw, Lord
Arthur Lennox and Mr. 0. E. Coope. The first three
candidates mentioned above avow Whig and
Radical principles; the two latter are liberal
Conservatives. In consequence of recent divi-
sions the Whig Radical party is split into at least
half a dozen distinct sections, and all three can-
didates are canvassing quite dissociated from any col-
league. The Conservative candidates are united. Each
party has issued its address; and in many points—in-
deed on most subjects—tile very same principles are
avowed. Mr. Bagshaw differs most; be desires triennial
Parliaments, a great extension of the suffrage, vote by
ballot, and, though a member of the Established Church,
will vote, though not immediately, for its separation
from the State. This has satisfied the political Noncon-
formists, who have agreed to vote for him because of this

and his promised opposition to all educational or reli-
gious endowments. The other four candidates are free
traders, friendly to civil and religious liberty, opposed
to the separaticn of.,Church and State, and to the en-
dowment of the Roman Catholic priesthood, or to voting
public money in support of religious seminaries. There
is not, however, an exact unifbrmity, inasmuch as Mr.
Rumbold is still inclined to continue the Maynooth grant.
and Mr. Goldsmid, being a Jew, contemplates the
eventual disunion of the Church from the State with no
apprel easion or alarm.

ABERDEEN (CITY 04—Al though rumours have again
revived of contemplated opposition to the return of Capt.
Fordyce as Member for this City, yet no other candidate,
as far as we can learn, has yet given his name or stated
his pretensions. In the meantime, from the movements
of parties, it seems not unlikely that a contest may be
attempted. The Conservatives desire to keep their
friends unpledged. Another party would embrace
electors of all political opinions, in favour of a candidate
of "ability and business experience." A third would
have the dissenting interest efficiently represented; and
a fourth would "go " for the "five points of the
Charter." Such are the discordant sections into which
it is sought to divide the constituency—no unfavourable
omen for the success of the Gallant Captain.
DUMBARToNSIIIRE.—A liberal and independent can-
didate has started for Dumbartonshire, with excellent
prospects of success. The candidate is Mr. Thomas
Campbell Robertson, who, in tit? civil service in India,
has proved his abilities and integrity, and attained high
eminence.

ELGIN DISTRICT.—Mr. Bannerman arrived in Banff
on Saturday evening, and was to I),,gin his canvass of
the electors there and in Maeduff on Monday. His
opponents are very active.
FALKIRK BURGHS.—We are authorised to state that
Mr. Wilson has not withdr:,wn from his intention of
offering himself for these burghs.—Glasgow
FIFE (COUNT"; OF) —A nquisition is now in course
of receiving signatures respectfully requesting Mr. Tin-
dall Bruce, of Falkla,i:d, to off, ,r hitn,elf as a candidate
for the representation of the county.—Fifishire Journal.

INVE /MESS. —Mr. Alathesnn, of Ardross. has been
pro,ecuting his canvass in this town, and will speedily
procced to the other burghs. He has been well received
by the electors.

IN; n 3NESS I3trrictis.—While at press intelligence has
arrived, by the London mail, of the intention of Richard
Hartley Kennedy, Esq., to contest the representation of
the burghs, on thcroughly independent principles. Mr.
Kennedy is deputy chairman of the Oriental Bank, and
chairman of the India and London Assurance Company.
ER) is, moreover, a
gentleman of high education, good
talents as a speaker, independent fortune, and perfect
freedom from the shackles of party.—lnverness Journal.
KIRKALDY DISTRICT.—An address of Colonel Fergu-
son, the present representative of these burghs, to the
constituency, has been issued. No opposition is thought
of here.
LElTH—There is no likelihood of any opposition, the
Lord Advocate's votes on public questions and his
effective promotion of the local interests of the burghs
having retained all his old friends, and gained him many
new.
SELnlnKsninE.—Mr. A. E. Lockhart, of Borthwick-
brae, the present representative of the county, has
issued an address to the electors, in which he announces
his intention of again coming forward as a candidate, on
Conservative principles.
Ross AND CROMA ItTir.—Mr. James Matheson, of
Achany and the Lewis, M.P., is now busily engaged in
canvassing the electors, by whom he has been cordially
received, and will be returned for Ross and Cromarty by
a largo majority.
WIGTOWN 1.3121RG115.---Sir John Afactaggart has inti-
mated his intention of again being a candidate for these
burghs.—A berdccn Journal.

high price, and more than its value in this market when
the charges of importing are taken into account. At

fishing has now fairly commenced, the greater number of
the south firth, Banff, and Highland fishermen having
arrived. There have not been many herrings got
yet. Tuesday, the averpr,e would scarcely be half
a cran. Yesterday it was not much higher; and
to-day the average will he under a eran. Some
boats have had twelve and fifteen crans. This
morning the fresh li,riings are selling here for the
London market higher than we ever remember them,
viz., 26'. Gd. The fisherrnens' engagements with the
curers commence next week, alter which the former are
bound to give all the herrings they catch to the curers.
Crops arc loolc:ng exceedingly well—never were seen
better, and no appearance of the potato blight. Oatmeal
is retailing at 255. per boll, and some of the small holders
of meal in the country are pushing sales considerably
under that price.—Ross-shire Advertiser.
