DURTIAM CI rY.

There will, in all probability. be a very animated cun-
t( st toi th}• city of Durham. Mr. Granger, the present
Liberal Member, will' be again a candidate, with the
certainty of hie election. Mr. Bright having some time
ago intimated his intenti.;n to retire, Colonel Thomas
Wood, now M.P. for Middlesex, and nephew of the
Marquis of Londonderry, is to be the candidate in the
Wynyard influence. His chance of success is doubtful,
as the differences Ize-tweeu the Conservatives and Lord
Londonderry, arising out of the election of Mr. Bright,
are not unoerstood to be adjusted, and an influential
party of Conservatives will not support any candidate
brought forward in the Wynyard interest whilst past
misunderstandings remain unsettled. If the Conserva-
tives could be brought to act with cordial union they
could s: cure one seat. A second Literal candidate in
the person of Mr. Fawcett, of Durham, High Sheriff of
the count), is expected to be in tLe field, and as he is
very popular in the city with the Liberal party, and has
many private friends who will not oppose him on the
score of politics, it is nut improbable but he will beat a
Peel Conservative, even under the powerful influence of
Lord Londonderry.

-PORTSMOUTH.
Two Tory candid.ttrs are announced, Captain Camp-
bell, R.N and Mr. %Villiam Jones.
S I'AMFORD.
A meeting of a number of electors was held at the
George and Angel Inn on Wednesday, at which it was
resolved to send a requisition to Mr. J. Holt, Q 0., of
the Chancery bar, solic.ting him to become a candidate
in the indepeneent interest. Front a star' inent made at
the meeting, it is fully expected that the requisition
will be accepted. It has bet n stated, from good autho-
rity, that the Marquis of Granby will again be a candi-
date ; the other nominee in the Burghleyinterest has
not been mentioned.—Moreing paper.

NORTH CHESHIRE.
(From the Chester Courant.)
A meeting for promotinz the election of Mr. W.
Tatton Egerton and the: Right Hon. E. J. Stanley as
Members for North Cheshire, on the expected di,solu-
lion of Parliament, was held at Knutsh.rd on Al,,iiday
laht, and further adjourned to the 17th inst. From
statements submitted to the meeting there seems to be
no doubt 'that this political compromise will be success
fully carried into effect, as the promises of support are
sufficient to secure for those g..ntlenien a majority of the
constituency. He will, therefore, be not only a bold but
a rash rush who shall venture into the field to oppose so
formidable a coalition.
NOR 111 A NIPTONSH IRE.
(From the Cambridge Advertiser.)
We hear that Mr. Mauti ell will not again come for-
ward as a candidate for North Northamptonshire, and it
is defin'ttely arranged for Mr. Vernon Smith to solicit
the suffrages on Liberal principles. It is said that the
Conset-vatives have no objection Ito this arrangrment,
provirted Mr. A. S. O'Brien is uttorposed; but many of
the Whigs are confident that two Liberals ntay be re-
turned, viz., Mr. V. t-'mith and Mr. Jones Loyd, the
eminerti, banker, who 04 ns considerable property in this
divisior, of the county. should both declare themselves
candid, rtes it is thought that Mr. O'Brirn will retire
rather enter upon an expensive contest.
EIIBOROUGH..
(From the Cambridge Advertiser )
AU is quiet respectine Peterborough. Sir R. Heron
will rretire, after twenty-five years' faithful service; and
it is ,determined that Mr. FitzwitlLni and Mr. Cavendish
will lbe the future representatives.

DIE WEATHER, TRADE, &C.—After a month's
un disturbed sunshine the temperature has become cooler, and
set 'era' refreshing showers have fallen during the present
wt . This will be most favourable for the crops, especially
on stiff lands; the wheat is now ready to burst into ear;
turn ps and potatoes are looking exceedingly well, and there
is as yet no indication (,f disease in the last mentioned root.
Frui t trees are much infested with insects, whose ravages
have 3 much thinned what bid fair to be an extraordinarily
hea' ;y crop. Since the pricsot grain has fallen there apvears
tot a better feeling among manufacturers, and 'the-money
