PETERSFIELD.-Within the last few days, the pre-
sent Member for this immaculate borough, Sir W, G.
Jolliffe, Bait., has issued an address to the electors, an-
nouncing his intention of soliciting their suffrages again
at the forthcoming election. The number of electors at
present on the registry amounts to upwards of 300, a
considerable part, more than one-third, of which are
tenants of the Hon. Baronet's. It is expected that no
opposition will be offered, although a strict watch has
been kept in the registration courtseifeer since the
,kart
election, by several professional gentlemen in the Liberal
interest, who were deputed to attend to defend the Libe-
ral voters objected to. It is now quite evident that the
influential parties have jpieaed the Whitelock ranks, and
left the Liberal portion of ih'e constituency to be repre-
sented in future by a high Protectionist, also a gentle-
man of the Bentinck and Disraeli clique.. The Mb&
interest has been predominant in this borough upwards
of half a century, but at the tleetion which took place
on the 7th of January, 1835, John Cornthwaite Hector,
Esq , succeeded in routing this interest, being placed at
the head of the poll by a majority of sixteen. lie
continued to sit uninterruptedly until July 25, 1837,
when the present Hon. Gentleman was elected by a
majority of one, but was unseated on the 14th of Fe
bruary, 1838, by a Committee of the House of Com-
mons, who declared the petitioner, J. C. Hector, Esq., to
have been duly elected. and ought to have been returned.
He discharged his duties in a most consistent manner up
to July, 1841, always voting .with all the leading Radical
Members of the llouse of Commons on every important
occasion, much to the satisfaction of his constituents.
This part-pocket borough has been severely contested
on several occasions ever since 1818 ; and, previous to
the passing of the Reform Bill, the present Liberal
Member for Carlisle, W. Marshall, Esq., being the
highest bidder in the market that aspired to a seat in
the Legislature, the then Tory patron, Colonel Hylton
Jolliffe, allowed him to be returned, jointly with himself,
but on all occasions, when a division took place, both
were voting in opposition to each other. We hope soou
to see this borough again represented by a gentleman of
independent principles.-From a Correspondent.

which is attracting all classes to witness it, was repre-

that we had our doubts as to the effects that could be
produced-we :were most agreeably surprised. We cer-
