ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

TAVISTOCIL—Oppsi don is threatened in this borough
b% the R “licals bringing forward Mr. Goldsmid, the
wealthy Jew, as a candidate ; but the opinion of the
more sober el. ctors is, that the present representatives,
Lord E. Russell and Mr. Trelawney will be re-elected.
The latter gentleman's address to the elect-rs has been
in circulation several days.—Devonport Telegraph.
A considerable change has taken place in the election
movements of Plymouth. The division of the Liberals
gave hopes to the Tories of the borough, who have found
a candidate in the person of a Mr. Palmer, a nephew of
Mr. Horsley Palmer, who made his appearance on Tues-
day night last, and delivered his sentiments before an
assemblage of the electors, at the Royal Hotel. In con-
sequence of this, Mr. Crowder, on the following day,
resigned, to the regret of a very large body of the con.
stituency. Mr. Willeoca, who also issued an address on
the Liberal side, has withdrawn from the contest, which
is now left to Lord Ebrington and Mr. Calmady, on the
one side, and Mr. Palmer ou the other.—Devonport
Telegraph.
In Liskeard, a Conservative candidate has appeared
in opposition to Mr. Charles Buller, but we should sup-
pose with about as much chance of success as that of any
of his Tory predecessors in that borough.—Devonport
Telegraph.
The London correspondent of the Dublin Evening
Past thus estimates the strength of the different parties
in the ensuing Parliament:—
" There are, even thus early, calculations of the re-
sults of the elections. I shall give you the most plau-
sible, as a curiosity :
Ministerialists
Peelites
Protectionists

" All the calculations I have seen give a majority to
the Ministry—some more, some less; but my own im-
pression is, that they will have a fair working majority,
which will be a most commanding one on questions on
which Sir Robert Peel agrees with Lord John Russell.
The nomination for the borough of Great Marlow is
fixed for Friday next, at the hour of eleven in the fore*
noon ; candidates, Thomas Peers Williams, Esq., and
his cousion, Lieut.- Col. Brownlow Knox, Protectionist ;
and Colonel Sir W. R. Clayton, Bart., Liberal, stands to
oppose the borough being made the mere nomination
borough of Mr. Williams, who is not content with re-
turning himself for the last thirty years, but now de-
mands the second seat for his relative. This close
I), trough only numbers 370 electors—.a leas constituency
than it possessed previous to the Rel. rm Bill.
The nomination for the borough of Wycombe is fixed
for Thursday next. Candidates, G. H. Dashwood, Esq.,
and M. T. Smith, Esq.
TORY TACTICS AT BOLTON.—The cunningly devised
requisition to Mr. Ainsworth, requesting him again to
offer himself as a candidate for the r. presentation of the
borough, has met with the fate it deserved. The cir-
cumstances under which the honouraba gentleman re-
tired were in no respect altered ; but Tories ver-aed have
been delighted could they have drawn him into the field
to divide the ranks of the Reformers, and thus promote
the success of Mr. Billing. the " popular candidate."
A more impudent trick was never attempted. A Tory
requisition to a gentleman of Liberal opinions—one
whom they strained every nerve to defeat at the last
election! It was a deliberate insult, inasmuch as it im-
plied a possibility that Mr. Ainsworth might lend him
serf
•
s as their tool in the hope of regaining his seat in Par-
liament. The trick, however, has recoiled upon the
trick,ters. Mr. Ainsworth has refused to comply with
the solicitation of the Tory requisition, and has thus left
the field open to a fair, stand-up. manly fight between
Toryism and Reform. No doubt the Tories would have
been glad, had they been able to widen the breach be-
tween Mr. Ainsworth and the Reform party; but hap-
pily they have failed in their design, and that failure
will rend very materially to re-unite the Reform party,
and secure their triumph.—Bolton Free Press.
REPRESENTATION OF ROCIIDALE.—A d •putatton from
Rochdale has waited on Mr. Sharman Crawford, at
Craw fordsburn. bearing with them a requisition, signed
by a large majority of the electors of Rochdale, request-
ing that he will allow himself to be proposed as a candi
date for the representation of the borough in the next
Parliament, and pledging themselves to support him. It
might have been supposed, that such a requisition was
unnecessary, as Mr. Crawford was Member for the bo-
rough; but, even so, he did not think it right again to
offer himself, without a distinct invitation from the elec-
tors. The invitation now tendered to him is an honour-
able testimony of approval from his constituents.—
Northern Whig.
TIIIRSIL—Mr. John Bell again offers himself for his
native town, and no opposition is expected to his re-
election .

TEWEESBURY.—Mr. Humphrey Brown the eminent
railway traffic statist, who possesses considerable pro •
perry in and near Tewkesbury, has come forward as a
candidate for the representation of the borough. As
there is little doubt of his success, the railway interest
wid thus have another representative in Parliament. As
a business-man, Mr. Brown, has few .equals.
BRISTOL ELECTION.—The nomination for this city
will be held this year in the Exchange, as the public
Guildhall is considered too small.and inconvenient for
the purpose. The writ, it is expected, will he received
by the Sheriff this day (Saturday), and the election will,
most probably. take place on Wednesday or Thursday.
—Bristol Mercury.
ELECTION FoR THE BOR01:1011 OF MANCHESTER.—We
believe that, it the sheriff's precept Should arrive here in
time this morning to admit of the proclamation being
made to-day, viz., before four o'clock this afternoon (be-
yond which hour it cannot be made), it is the intention
of Elkanah Armitage, E,q., the mayor, as returning
officer, to appoint Thursday next. the 29th inst.. for the
nomination of candidates.—Manchester Guardian.

REPRLanNTiTT,II4 OF NORTH LANCASHIRE.—Nothing
has yet been decided with regard to the northern
division of the county. the London papers state that
Mr. Charles Townley is to be the Liberal candidate ;
but this, we believe. is a premature announcement. We
have beam Mr. Townley named,.however, as one who
may possibly be requested to Stand. Mr. Alexander
Henry and Mr—Alexander Kay, both of this town, and
Mr. Standish. have also been named as likely to b,
brought forward for North Lancashire.—Manchester
Examiner.
