BATH.

THURSDAY, JUNE 24.—The prospects of the election of
Lord Duncan and Mr. Roebuck appear daily to assume a more
satisfactory appearance. The canvass every day adds new
voters to the long list already pledged for the Liberal candi-
dates, and serves to diminish the Tory confidence, while it
adds fresh vigour to that of their opponent party. Last night
a meeting was held at the Garrick's Head, in the ward of
Kinesrnead, which had been originally intended to he a mere
ward Committee meeting ; but intelligence of the anticipated
assemblage having spread through the town, long before the
hour appointed upwards of 2,003 persons had presented them-
selves for admission to the room in which the candidates were
expected to speak. On the arrival of Lord Duncan, at eight
o'clock, there were hundreds whose efforts to procure an en-
trance had been unsuccessful, and a large space of ground in
front of the inn was almost entirely occupied by an anxious
throng. An adjournment to the open air was proposed, but
Mr. Keene having taken the Chair,
Viscount DUNCAN announced that, in consequence of the
indisposition of Mr. Roebuck, it would be extremely inconve-
nient for him to speak out of doors.
[At this moment loud shouts of congratulation in the street
announced the arrival of Mr. Roebuck. In a few minutes he
presented himself in the room, and was received with tremen-
dous cheering. The assemblage had now become so great,
and the heat of the room so oppressive, that it was proposed
that the respective candidates should address the meeting from
the window of the inn. The suggestion was immediately
adopted, and, the room having been cleared, a:crowd of up-
wards of 3,000 persons presented themselves collected round
the front of the house.]
Viscount DUNCAN continued his address. What he said,
and what his friend, Mr. Roebuck said, was that they were the
true friends of the people who would give the people bread at the
cheapest possible price. That he was prepared to do, and that
also Mr. Roebuck was prepared to do. He would not
fatigue them by detaining them long, but there was one point
which had been put to him in the course of his canvass, and on
which he would express his opinion. He meant the question of
the Ballot.—(Loud cheers.) He was determined to give his
support to the Ballot, and on this principle he and his friend
Mr. Roebuck had determined to unite in their exertions.—
(Hear, hear.) On this question they wereolike the Siamese
twins ; they linked their arms together, and lit hoped that thus
connected they should be carried into Parliament.—( Cheers. )
This object could be effected in one manner only—by the firm
and indissoluble union of the whole Liberal party.
Mr. ROEBUCK then stood forward, and was greeted with
loud cheers. They had not met by tens or hundreds, and this
too without invitation, almost without notice, but by thou-
sands, and yet he and his Noble Friend were called " the ene-
mies of the people." Let the Tory candidates try the same
experiment.—( Cheers.) He and his Noble Friend gave them
no drink—no bribes ; but they sought to prove to them that
which was their own interest, and that he thought they them-
selves ought to be able to comprehend. He demanded that
the people should be exalted—(Hear, hear)—but the people
now had their own exaltation in their hands; to secure it they
should return his Noble Friend and himself as their repre-
sentatives, and having done that he should perform his duty
unflinchingly, and without the apprehension of fear or the hope
of reward.—(Hear, hear.) If they looked upon their exalta-
tion as a means of happiness—their happiness was in their own
hands; they themselves had the means of securing it.—
(Cheers.) The position of the country—the position of her
Majesty—required that they should come to a calm but deci-
sive determination ; but he trusted that that would be in
favour of the Liberal cause.—(Hear, hear.)
The vast crowd which had been assembled then speedily
dsspersed.
A grand demonstration of the operatives of Bath in favour
of the Liberal candidates is to be made on the (lay of nomina-
tion, when they are to march in procession to the hustings to
exhibit their affection for their futare representatives.
ROCHESTER.—An address was issued on Monday by R.
Bernal, Esq., thanking the electors for their support during
the twenty-one years that he has been returned for the city of
Rochester, but declining the honour of again offering himself
for that city. Francis Dashwood, Esq., and Lord Melgund
having been solicited to come forward on the Liberal interest,
Mr. Dashwood arrived here on Thursday evening, and was met
by a large number of the electors on Strood-hill, who accom-
panied him with a band of music and banners to the King's
Head Inn. Lord Melgund was in Scotland when he received
the invitation; he immediately forwarded a letter to W.
Lomas, Esq., the Chairman of the Committee, accepting the
invitation, and lie was fully expected at Rochester yesterday
(Wednesday). Mr. Dashwood commenced his canvass on
Saturday for himself and Lord Melgund with every prospect of
success, and we confidently anticipate the ret urn of two Liberal
candidates.—Kent Herald.
FROME.—We are happy to state that there is every prospect
of this borough being rescued from Tory rule. Mr. Sheppard,
the late sitting Member, will be opposed, with every prospect
of success.— Wiltshire Independent.
MALMESBURY.—AII goes on well here. The reception
which the Hon. Mr. Howard everywhere meets with is most
gratifying to him. His election is safe.— Wiltshire Independent.
WEST KENT.—The most cheering accounts continue to be
received from all parts of this district, and no doubt exists of
the return of its Liberal and enlightened representative, Mr.
Hodges, for the sixth time. —Kent Herald.
CHESTER.—So far election prospects, in this district, are
looking well for the Liberal interest. In this city Lord Robert
Grosvenor and Mr. Jervis have not yet had an opponent. The
Noble Lord arrived in this city on Saturday evening last.
During the week he has been sedulously engaged in assisting
Mr. Wilbraham in his canvass for the southern division of the
county. Mr. Jervis arrived yesterday morning at eleven
o'clock. An opposition was threatened in the person of some
syimentioned gentleman, who was announced as a " Repre-
sentative," and not as a candidate ; but at the hour of going
to press he was still non est. There can be no doubt of the re-
election of the old Members. Mr, Wilbraham's canvass goes
on prosperously for South Cheshire. For North Cheshire our
accounts are highly favourable to the re-election of the Hon.
Mr. Stanley, who has been appointed Paymaster of the
Forces. Chester Chronicle.
HIGH WYCOMBE, JUNE 25.—The writ arrived last night,
and this afternoon it was read in the market-place, and the
returning officer has appointed next Wednesday for the day of
nomination, and the polling will take place the next day. All
four candidates will go to the poll, and both parties arc san-
guine of success.
GREAT MARLOW, JUNE 25.—The nomination is fixed for
Thursday next, and the poll will be taken on Friday.

IRELAND.
MR. SHEIL—COUNTY TIPPERARY.
(From the Dublin Pilot.)
The following is the farewell address of I%lr. Sheil, to the in-
dependent electors of the county of Tipperary:—
" In retiring from the representation of the county of
Tipperary, lam deeply sensible of the great honour which
you conferred upon me in selecting me as your representa-
tive; and beg you to acccept the assurance of my warm and
lastin.. gratitude.
" (leave the county of Tipperary with a conviction that
others, in many regards better qualified, will be found to fill
the distinguished place which I surrender to you ; and, with
the consciousness that, while I have been your representative,
I have used my utmost efforts to promote the real interests of
my country.—l have the honour to be, your most obliged ser
cant, -
" RICHARD LALOR SHEIL."

COUNTY OF CARLOW. —MR. O'CONNELL.
CARLOW, TUESDAY.—Notwithstanding the distance tra-
velled by Mr. O'Connell on Sunday and Saturday, the length
of time he was speaking, and his constant application to the
details of business whilst at his hotel, he was on his way yes-
terday morning at seven o'clock to Borris and Newtown, near
Graignamanna, on the Kilkenny side of Carlow, accompanied by
Mr. Reynolds, the Rev. Mr. Tyrrell. and Mr. E. Fitzgerald.
As they passed into Borris they were joined by pedestrians
from all parts of the surrounding country, and by the time they
entered the town the procession amounted to upwards of
twenty thousand men. On leaving Borris the procession was
met about a mile outside the town by deputations from Gores-
bridge, Paulstown, Graig, and Leighlinbridge, accompanied
by the temperance bands, which have been lately esta-
blished in those places ; and by the time Mr. O'Con-
nell and friend reached Newtown, the place of meet-
ing, the numbers which accompanied them amounted, with-
out exaggeration, to upwards of forty thousand men. I
should have stated that on the way from Borris to New-
town, Messrs. John O'Connell, T. Steele, and the Rev. Jas.
Maher, who had been in that neighbourhood from the previous
day, joined the procession, and arrived along with them at the
place of meeting. Mr. O'Connell was introduced to the mul-
titude by Air. Clooney, and was received with the most en-
thusiastic burst of applause. He delivered his usual heart-
stirring and soul-inspiring appeal, and at the conclusion of his
address twenty-eight freeholders, who had voted for Kavanagh
and Bruen, rushed forward and begged pardon for their former
offences against God and their country, and declared that if
they were to suffer a thousand deaths they would never vote for
the Orange faction again. The speech of Mr. O'Connell acted
like a spell upon his hearers, for after the freeholders had gone
up to him and declared their determination not to vote again for
the Orange faction, the wives, daughters, and sisters of up-
wards of one hundred freemen who are shut up in Borris house,
took off their shoes and stockings on the field and ran in a body
across the country, amidst the loud cheers of the immense '
as-
sembly, to the place where those poor men are confined, to de-
mand their instant release. I was anxious to hear the result

accompanied by the temperance town band. This is the fair

he will again visit Rathvilly, it being the fair day.

ROXBURGHSIIIRE.--Aire regret to learn that the present Li-
beral Member, the Hon. J• E. Elliot, declines to contest the
county. The reason we presume is, that his opinions on the
Corn-law question differ from those of the Duke of Roxburgh,
without whose support he could not hope to be returned. The
event, however, can scarcely be said to have taken the Liberal
party by surprise, for we know that it was anticipated by some
well-informed persons sortie weeks ago, The loss of this county,

LEITH.—On Friday a number of Conservairiisjaglgfameet-
ing in the Exchange Motel here, and unanimously resolved to
request John Gladstone, Esq., of Fasque, to come forward
as a candidate for the Leith district of burghs. We under-
stand, however, that Mr. Gladstone has declined to stand ;
first, because he is unwilling to advance the sum required to
pay the old scores and meet future exigencies; and, second,
because he sees he has not the slightest chance of success.
RENFREWSHIRE.—The progress of Mr. Patrick Maxwell
Stewart through this county has been a continued scene of
triumph. His opponent has little to say for himself, and is
obliged to rely mainly on the efforts of others. The latest-ac-
counts we have received afford the most ample confirmation of
our statements, that Mr. Stewart will carry the day.
AYRSHIRE.—We alluded in cur last to the intended retire-
ment of Lord Kelburne. The contemplated arrangement,
however, was looked upon with so much repugnance by many
of the Tories, that it had to be abandoned, and his Lordship
has announced his intention of once more coming forward.
AYR BURGlis.—After searching about in every direction
for a candidate, the Tories have at length induced Mr. Stir-
ling, younger of Keir, to enter upon the hopeless task of oust-
ing Lord James Stuart. Judging from the tone of Mr. Stir-
ling's address, we do not expect that he will venture so far in
his silly crusade as to go to the poll ; and, in fact, not a single
individual has been foolish enough to ask a vote for him in Ayr.
On Saturday, Lord James Stuart completed a most successful
canvass in Ayr.
DUNDEE.—Sir Henry Parnell has signified his intention
through his agents, of retiring from the representation of this
burgh. A public meeting was held on Saturday, at which
Provost Johnston presided, called to consider what steps
should be taken for the return of a fit and proper person to
represent Dundee in Parliament, when, after a long discus-
sion, it was agreed to appoint a committee of forty to carry
the views of the meeting into effect. The Dundee Courier
states that the Committee have made application to Sir Wil-
liam Molesworth, Mr. Smith of Manchester, Alderman Cob-
den, and Mr. Grote, to offer themselves .as candidates, and to
Mr. Hume, to furnish them with a list of such as he might
consider eligible. It also states that a requisition is in course
of signature calling on Mr. George Duncan, merchant, to
stand for the burgh-.—Edinburgli Courant.
BANFFSHIRE.—We are indebted to our Contemporary the
Constitutional, for the accurate designation of the new Tory
candidate for Banffshire. He has been talked of for some days,
but under such a variety of names that no one could tell ex-
actly who he was. Some called him Lord Redhive —others
Lord Redhall—and a third set Lord Red-herring; but the
real title turns out to be Lord Redhaven, and belongs, it
seems, to the eldest son of the Earl of Seafield.—Aberdeen
Herald.
SCOTTISH ErecTioss.—The number of counties to be con-
tested in Scotland is six—Kirkcudbrightshire, Renfrewshire, Stir-
lingshire, Wigtonshire, Banffshire, and Lanarkshire. We wish
we could add Ayrshire, Dumbartonshire, and Argyleshire.
The latter are sill without Liberal candidates, although, in
some of them, we believe, the Reform interest is sufficiently
strong to warrant a contest. With regard to the burghs, it is
understood that there will be contests in the following places :
--Ayr, Dumfries, Elgin, Falkirk, Greensick, Haddington,
Kilmarnock, Perth, Stirling, Wick, and Wigton. Of these,
Dumfries and Stirling will attract comparatively little interest,
as the struggle is to be between Liberals. Leaving them
therefore out of the list, there are of counties and burghs in
Scotland, fifteen seats to be contested. It depends on these
places whether the popular cause in Scotland shall gain or lose
at the approaching election. In the Parliament just concluded,
eleven of these have been in the hands of Liberals, and four in
the hands of Tories. The chief contests will be in Renfrew--
shire, Stirlingshire, Wigtonshire, Lanarkshire, and the Kil-
marnock burghs.
REPRESENTATION OF THE ClTY.—Letters received from
Sir John Campbell on Monday, announced the completion of
the arrangement so often talked of, by which he succeeds
Lord Plunkett as Chancellor of Ireland. He renounces his
claim, however, to the retiring allowance, and therefore does
not ge, like Sir Edward Sugden, to secure a comfortable pro-
vision for life, in return for a few months' services. This event
happening almost close upon the elections, took the Liberal
party by surprise. A numerous meeting of the Aggregate
Committee of the Liberal electors was held upon the subject
yesterday, which we have briefly reported elsewhere. It was
agreed to put fur. Wm. Gibson Craig in nomination as a can-
didate, and he has accepted the invitation. The Dissenters'
Committee, who met the night before, resolved to invite Mr.
Ewart, who is now canvassing the Dumfries Burghs, and a de-
putation has gone off to confer with him upon the subject.
The result of their mission will be known this evening. Re-
port states that his prospects are extremely. good in the south-
ern burghs, and the probability therefore is, that he will de-
cline the invitation.—Scotsman.
