ELECTION MOVEMENTS.

Isininson.—Ralph Neville, Eq.. one of the represen-
tatives of this borough. and eldest son of the Very
Rev. the Dean, on Monday .morning put forth a
printed announcement of his intention to decline the
honour of soliciting the suffrages of the electors at the
inensuing
re
he i election.a3 s,
isHtihse miuoktier,eo arfrarrieishanosf withdrawing
himself; ihnigs
former friends in the borough.
SOUTH DURHAM.—The friends of protection to native
industry will secure the election of Mr. Far,rer, and
tacitly acquiesce in the return of Lord Harry Vane,
rather than encounter a contest which would be atbended
with great turmoil and excitement.
NORTH DITRHAM.—For the northern division it is
positively said there will be a contest, as Colonel Bea:-
with resolves to go to a poll. The contest, we are satis-
fied, must be nominal. The mass of the electors in every
district consider the present Member, Mr. Liddell, and
Shafto, who has become a candidate under the
auspices of the party who supported Mr. Lambton, as
certain to be elected by very large majorities.
DURHAM CITY.—The city of Durham will be the
arena of a very spirited contest. In addition to Mr.
Granger and Captain Wood, Mr. Spearman (of Newton
Hall) is now in the field. The differences in the Con.
servative ranks, arising out of the election of Mr. Bright
at the last vacancy, not having been reconciled, the
independent Conservative party have formally resolved
" to withhold their support from any candidate present.
ing himself under the influence of the Marquis of Lon-
donderry;" and the electors will, we believe, at present
very generally refrain from promising their votes.
SOUTH SHIELDS.—WiIIiam Whateley, Esq., a bar-
rister, has presented himself to the notice of the electors
of South Shields, as a candidate in the Conservative
interest, to represent that borough in the next Parlia-
ment.—Durham Advertiser.

READING.-Mr. Apsley Pellatt, of Staines, and the
principal proprietor of the extensive establishment at
Blackfriars, known as the Falcon Glass-works, will start
as a candidate for the representation of the borough on
the Liberal interest.

STAFFORD.—Another candidate has entered the field
in the person of Mr. E. IV. Robertson, of London, as a
free-trader. He is a graduate at Oxford, and has con-
siderable property at Chilcote, in Derbyshire.
SIINDERLAND.—Mr, W. A. Wilkinson's address to
the electors appeared on Friday morning. He avows
himself a thorough free-trader, and a friend to the entire
abolition of the present navigation-laws. It is the
universal belief that Mr. Hudson is perfectly safe, but
that the contest will be severe between Mr. Barclay and
Mr. Wilkinson.

POOLE.— We understand a Conservative candidate will
be brought forward for this borough.— Wiltshire Herald.
LYME.—We have authority to state that Mr. Edmund
Batten, of the Chancery bar, is likely to offer himself as
a candidate for the borough of Lyme, at the next elec-
tion, on moderate Whig principles.—Sherborne Mercury.
STAMFORD.—The Marquis of Granby and the Right
Hon. J. C. Herries (formerly Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer) will be candidates for the representation of
this borough.
Coax.—Mr. Shee denies having ever entertained a
thought of aspiring to the honour of representing the
county of Cork in Parliament.
GLASGOW.—Mr. Dixon, of Govanhill, will submit his
claims to represent this city in Parliament.—North
British Mail.

GLASGOW.—We are authorised to state that there is
no truth whatever in the rumours which have been cir-
culated respecting the retirement of Mr. Lockhart from
the honourable post of representative of the county of
Lanark. On the contrary, when the proper time
arrives, the Hon. Gentleman will address the constitu-
ency of the county, sol,oiting the renewal of their
favours.—Glasgow Courier.

BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR THE
ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE.
OXFORD, JUNE 21.—The arrangements for holding
this, the 18th meeting, which are now completed, differ
in some respects from those of previous years. The
first general meeting, previously held on the Thursday
vening, will take place on Wednesday afternoon, at
three o'clock, on which occasion Sir R. J. Murchison,
the President at Southampton, will resign the chair to
Sirßobert Harry Inglis, Bart., M.P., the President for the
present meeting. The scientific business of the sections
will commence, as usual, on Thursday morning at their
several meeting rooms, and the evenings, with the ex.

scientific discourses. On Saturday there will be a pro-
menade and conversazione at the Radcliffe Library,
which will be open on Tuesday for the exhibition
of microscopes and microscopical illustrations. On

at three o'clock, when the proceedings of the general
ilOmmittee, and the grants of money sanctioned by it,
will be stated. On Sunday the Bishop of Oxford will
preach at St. Mary's, and by a singular coincidence the
subject of the sermon, which is from a bequest, to be
preached on that day is " humility in literary and
scientific inquiries." The whole of the evening meetings

ing are the places of meeting appointed for the different

embankment work is begun, and two smaller bridges are
being built for the mill lead and water pipes of Chirnside
Paper Mill, while great preparation is being made for
the works of the main bridge. On the Reston side of
the Whitadder cuttings are commenced at two different
