ELECTION MOVEMENTS-

PLUOIITIL—Mr. Gill retires from the represen-
,ioA, of Plymouth. Mr. Crowder, Q. C., starts in
his place, and from his well-known talents and high
character, has a certainty of success.
PRESTON.—Sir Hesketh Fleetwood retires. Mr.
Pasco Grenfell comes forward, and will probably
meet with no opposition.
WAREINGTON.—Mr. Blackburne has put out his
farewell address. Mr. Allward, the Liberal candi-
date, will be returned in his place, and a gain to the
Liberal party be the result.
MIDDLESEX.—IdIe rumours name Mr. Bernal Os-
borne. as a candidate for Middlesex. We cannot be-
lieve that the clever but eccentric member for Wy-
combe, even though hard up for a seat, would ven-
ture on such a forlorn hope.
NORTH CHESHIRE.—AII opposition to the return
of Ur. Stanley and Mr. Egerton may be treated as
mere idle rumour. No candidate could have a chance
after the resolution of all parties to support the two
men who are the leaders of their respective parties,
have the best right, and the most influence.
Fissunur.—This great metropolitan borough is
sustaining its high character for consistency and for
freedom from electioneering cabals. A requisition to
the two present Members has been for some time in
course of signature, and has received the names of the
leading men of all sections of the Liberal party, call-
ing upon Messrs. Duncomlae and Wakley to leave
their return entirely in the hands of their consti-
tuency, and not to interfere in the election, either by
solicitation or otherwise. This is the true way to
make good Members. Let the electors do their duty,
and the representatives must do theirs ; or, it may be
said, in Finsbury, let Members do their duty, and
the electors will show that they appreciate their
conduct.

MARYLEBONE.
held At a meeting of the Marylebone Reform Association,
on Thursday last, it was agreed that the three new
candidates for the representation of the borough in the
ensuing Parliament should be subjected to a ballot of
the whole Liberal constituency, in order that the most
favoured alone should stand, and subsequently t%d motionb
for including Sir B. Hall in that ordeal w

of the Maryle-
, gill addressed aletterto the
Association, declining to submit to the pro-
Done Reform
Posed test, upon the groud that it was most unusual to
to do
call upon a sitting Memberso, and referring to the
plan pursued in Is4l, when Sir C. Napier waschosen by
the ballot of
the electors, he (Sir B. Hall) being received
as a candidate of course. The letter stated, that Sir B.
Hall, having received votes of approval and confi-
dence at two very large meetings of the electors lately
held, was determined to submit his pretensions to the
constituency at the day of nomination. The effect of
this repudiation of the proposed preliminary election of
Sir B. Hall is as yet somewhat dubious, as at present it
-cannot be known how far the other candidates will feel
themselves bound by the existing arrangements ; but
there is a very strong feeling in the borough that if any
candidates are to be subjected to this test it ought, in
Common fairness, to be applied to all.
MEETING IN SUPPORT OF MR. D. W. HARVEY.—On
Saturday evening a meeting of the electors took place
at the Victoria Tavern, Crescent place, Mornington-
er"cent, to take measures to secure the success at the
ballot of the electoral body of Mr. D. W. Harvey. Mr.
Mortimer Simpson presided. dr. Dyke, after
