ELECTION MOVEMENTS.

Lirzaroor.. Lord Sandon and Sir Howard
Douglas both retire, and Liverpool has as yet nc
candidate for its representation.

NORTH CHESHIRE.—The Conservatives have offered
to divide the representation of this division of the
county, and to return Mr. Egerton and the Right
Hon. E. J. Stanley without opposition.
SOUTH LANCASHIRE.—The address of Lord
Brackley, although not so radical as many of
the Liberal party might have wished, is still so
satisfactory that he will have the support of a vast
majority of the free-traders, and any opposition to
him by the embers of the League is out of the ques-
tion. To oppose the junction of the aristocratic
with the democratic party in South Lancashire, is
felt to be little short of madness.
HlLL.—This town is without candidates; Sir W.
James and Sir J. Hanmer both retire, and no
successors are yet named.
SCARBOROUGH. Sir Frederick Trench retires
from the representation of this borough, and has
published his address announcing the retirement.
Lord Mulgrave will be returned in his place.

SouTHAINEPTON.—Mr. Wilcox and Mr. Cockburn,
Q.C., stand for this place, and with every prospect
of success.

NEWCASTLE-UNDER-LYME.-Mr. W. Jackson will
no doubt be returned for this borough. Lord Ed-
ward Howard also stands on the Liberal interest.

WINDSOR.—Lord John Hay will come forward fur
this borough. A better candidate could not have
been announced.

SIR ROBERT PEEL AND THE REPRESENTATION OF
BIRMINGHAM.—Some of the extreme Liberal party, who
were instrumental in getting up a requisition to Sir
Robert Peel to become a candidate for the representation
of the borough of Birmingham, wrote to the Honourable
Baronet, requesting to be informed if he would accept it
if satisfactorily signed. An answer has been received
from the Right Honourable Baronet, in which, as we an
ticipated, he firmly declines the intended honour, re-
quests that further canvassing should not be attempted,
and that the requisition should not be proceeded with.
We may mention that at the high bailiff 'a annual enter-
tainment, Mr. Muntz reiterated his intention of again
becoming a candidate, but disclaimed any coalition with
Mr. William Scholefield, who the Liberals wished to as-
sociate with him in the representation. Mr. Spooner
also declared his intention again to offer himself.

BRIGHTON.—This borough will in all probability be
contested at the forthcoming election, the Brighton
Liberal Association having, at a meeting held on Friday
evening, resolved to bring forward W. Cunningham,
Esq., of Kemp Town, as the second Liberal candidate.
Mr. Cunningham has consented to stand, provided a
requisition be presented to him signed by a sufficient
number of electors to justify him in doing so. A requi-
sition is now in course of signature. The contest will
be between him and Lord Alfred Hervey, Capt. Pechell's
re-election being by all parties considered-certain.
EA.ST SUSSES.—Mr. J. V. Shelley, of Maresfield Park,
a Liberal and free trader, is to contest this division of
Sussox at the forthcoming election, with Mr. Fuller and
Mr. Rrewen, the present Conservative Members.
KENDAL.—Mr. Gregson has issued an address in con-
traditztion of the report that he intended to retire from
the representation of Kendal at the approaching disco.

HE:RTFoRDSHIRE.—Mr. Brand has consented to be-
come a candidate in the Liberal interest. It is reported
that blr. Abel Smith and the Hon G. D. Ryder will re•
tire f 'tom Parliament, and Sir H. Meux is to come fur-
ward son the Conservative interest. The Conservatives
will Ins content to secure his election in conjunction with
Mr. lU asley, one of the sitting Members, and it is be-
lieved'. that no Liberal candidate will appear in the field
except Mr. Brand. The election is therefore likely to
be a m ere matter of form.--Bucks Gazette.
ST 13%.:1KPORT.—Up to last night (Frith:if), no regular
addr. esii had been issued by Mr. Alderman Kershaw, who,
it is generally known, is absent in Wales. He is, _

Bo VroN.—An address to the electors has been issued
by th,e Reform Association, stating the reasons why that
body cannot support Mr. P. Ainsworth as one of their
candrointes at the approaching general election. The
exidr( Ist. concludes by stating that the association "are
now en gaged in making certain inquires regarding
suital ) candidate in conjunction %hit Dr. Bowring, the
result. kof which will, in due time, be submitted to a public

-
LE'En.s.—The Liberal electors of Leeds are still in
cone jpi )ndence with Joseph Sturge, Esq., who has taken

time to deliberate on the proposal made to him. The
hope is entertained, that in about a week Mr. Sturge
may visit the town, for the purpose of addressing the
inhabitants.—Leeds Mercury.
KNARESBOROUGH.—On Tuesday last the electors were
addressed by the lion. W. S. Lascelles, and J. I'. West-
head, Esq., of Manchester. Both the candidates were
well received, and their addresses on the whole appeared
to be satisfactory to the constituency. Mr. Westhead said
he was averse to rapid transitions and hasty legislation,
but was convinced that the course pointed out to future
legislators was onward. Mr. Bw.field Ferrand, after
being the first to publish an address to the electors, de-
clines meeting them personally at present, as he is con-
vinced that it will be some months before an election can
take place.—Manchester Guardian.
SOUTH SHIELDS..—It has been currently reported in
South Shields, this week, that George Stephenson, Esq.,
the eminent engineer, and an intimate friend of G.
lludspn, Esq., M.P., (who, as one of the proprietors of
the extensiveglass works in that town, has some local
influence,). will offer himself to the constituents in op-
position to Mf.Wawn. He will, of course, come forward
in the railway interest; and, we understand,,his -politics
are Conservative:—Netvcast/e Guardian.
