ELECTION MOVEMENTS.
THE TOWER HAMLETS.—Mr. Hutchison, who unsuc-
cessfully contested this borough at the last election, has
announced himself as a candidate on the approaching
dissolution. Another candidate is also announced as
likely to come forward on the Dissenting interest.
NORTH DURHAM.—Mr. Robert Duncombe Shafto, of
Whitworth, has issued an address to the electors, and
has become a candidate on the Whig and Lambton
interest.

NORTH CHESHIRE.—The only names as yet men-
tioned as likely to go to the poll are E. D. Davenport,
Esq., of Capesthorn, and J. Cheetham, Esq., of Staly-
bridge, both Liberals.—Manchester Express.
UNIVERSITY OP OXFORD.—There will be a contest
for the representation of this University at the ap-
proaching general election, Mr. Estcourt having inti-
mated his intention of retiring from Parliament. The
names of the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone and Sir W.
Heatheote are severally spoken of as being the most
likely to occupy the vacant seat. The Guardian states
that Mr. Gladstone will come forward, and that it is said
the Hebdomadal Board intend to put forward Mr. Card-
well, the nephew of one of their members.
IPSWICH.—Mr. George Rennie has announced him-
self as a candidate for this town on the occasion of the
general election. He dates his address from the Reform '
Club.

NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT.—We are requested to
inform our readers that two gentlemen of stanch and in-
dependent principles will at a very early period offer
themselves to the notice of the electors as candidates for
the representation of the borough at the next election on
the liberal interest.—Hampshire Independent.
ATHLONE.—According to one of the local newspapers
Mr. William Keogh, a young barrister and a Roman
Catholic, has been during the past week canvassing the
electors of the borough on the Conservative interest;
and, according to the same authority, Sir George Beres-
ford also intends coming forwards on similar principles,
and will present himself to the constituency in the course
of a few days. Meanwhile Mr. John Collett, the present
Member, has declared his intention of contesting the
representation against all opposition at the coming
election.

KNARESBOROUCII.—We are glad to learn that there is
a good prospect of relieving Knaresborough from the
discredit of being represented by Mr. Ferrand. Our late
fellow-townsman, J. P. Westhead, Esq., and the Hon.
W. S. Lascelles, brother of the Earl of Harewood, and
now M.P. for Wakefield, have offered themselves as can-
didates, in opposition to Mr. Ferrand and Mr. Lawson ;
and we are glad to hear that they have every prospect of
success. Mr. Lascelles, though a Conservative, has
shown himself anything but a party man ; and we should
be sorry to see him excluded from the House of Com-
mons.—Manchester Guardian.

WARRINGTON.—Mr. J. I. Blackburne, the present
Member for the borough has issued his address to the
electors, a step, he intimates, rendered imperative on him
in consequence of Mr. Allcard having announced his
intention of becoming a candidate for the representation
at the ensuing election.
It appears to be generally understood that, at the ge-
neral election now approaching, the present representa-
tives of the borough of Sunderland, David Barclay and
George Hudson, Esq., will be again returned without
opposition. —/Veweastle Guardian.
ORKNEY AND SLIETLAND.—MY. Anderson has pub
lished an address to the electors of Orkney and
Shetland, from which the following are extracts.—
" Not less than two hundred and eighteen effective
voters having pledged themselves iu writing to give me
their active support at the poll, besides a considerable
number who have verbally promised their support, to
entertain a doubt of success would be to betray such a
want of confidence in the integrity of my kind coun-
trymen as it is impossible for me to entertain for one
moment. Our success must appear, I think, still more
certain, if we refer to the state of the polling in the con-
test between Mr. Balfour and Mr. Traill, in 1835. At
that time the whole number of voters on the register
was 476. It is now, I believe, about 510. That con-
test, most of you will recellect, was rather a sharp one,
and its object nearly the same as that of the present one.
On the occasion the total number who voted for Mr.
Balfour was 114 : for Mr. Traill, candidate on the Dun•
des interest, 84. You will at once see that the number of
eltctors who have pledged themselves in writing to
vindicate the independence of the county at the next
poll amounts to nearly double the number who
brought in the successful candidate at the last
contest, while the whole increase on the register since
then only amounts to 34. With such facts before us.
can we entertain a doubt of the most triumphant success?
While on this subject, I deem it necessary to advert to a
misrepresentation of the nature of the contest which has
been spread abroad by our opponents. They have
endeavoured to mislead the public, by representing it as
a contest founded ou merely personal and local consi-
derations, involving no public principle, and conse-
quently, of no public importance. Now this is the
reverse of the fact. We are struggling to assert
a great and fundamental principle of the constitution,
namely, that the representatives of the people, in
the people's House of Parliament, shall truly be
chosen by the people, and really represent them,
instead of being, as nearly one half of them now are,'
the nominees and representatives of the peerage. The
question you will be called upon (probably within two or
three months) to determine, is, whether the Member for
Orkney and Shetland shall represent the feelings and
interests of the people of Orkney and Shetland, or the
feelings and interests of the Earl of Zetland. This is
the real nature of the contest, involving a principle which
cannot fail to insure for us the sympathy of every true
man of independ4nt mind, and every friend of the Con-
stitution throughout the kingdom, and with the success-
ful vindication of which, on the remote shores of my
native islands, I shall feel more pride in having my name
associated, than to represent the richest and most popu-
lous place in Britain.—John 0' Groat, s Journal.

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, MAY 14.—The demand
has rather improved, and prices are rather better; a fair
amount of business has been done during the week, and the
market closed steadily. Rum continues in free demand.—
Bristol Mercury.
EPSOM RACES.—The influence of the wind, sun,
and dust, on these occasions, is frequently a source of serious
inconvenience to persons of delicate corpplexion. Ladies
should ever be provided with Rowland's kalydor, which will
be found gratefully refreshing to the complexion, dispelling
the cloud of languor and relaxation, allaying all irritability
and heat, and immediately affording the pleasing sensation
attendant on restored elasticity and healthful state of the
skin. As a protector and preserver of the hair, Rowland's
Macassar Oil will be found alike efficacious, guarding it from
the injurious operation of the sun and dust. Beware of Spu-
rious Imitations. The only genuine articles have the word
" Rowland's" preceding the name of the article on the wrapper
of each."
TRUE PRACTICAL FREEMASONRY.—The poor of
Sberborne received, through. the Lodge of Benevolence, a
timely gift on Tuesday evening, when upwards of 700 poor
families received a loaf each, proportioned to their families.
The bread was purchased by the third part of the produce of
Dr. Wolff's gratuitous lectures. The W. M. Bro. E. T
Percy, attended at the Town-hall, and assisted bv live of the
brethren of the Lodge,, distributed the bread with order and
regularity, by tickets, in about an hour. W say
how need not
how gratefully, during the high price of bread, it wasre-
ceived. We understand the portion for Ireland i,i placed at
the disposal of his Grace the Duke of Leinster,
Master for Ireland; and the portion for Scotland the Grand
dis-
posal of his Grace the Duke of Athol, the Grand 11Itatshteertb;
Scotland. Truly may we say of our valued brother, Dr.
Wolff, that he is a faithful labourer in the vineyard of
Masonry.
