derstand that the liberal electors of this borough are bestirrirg
themselves, as they ought to do, to procure the triumphant re-
turn of Mr. Cobden in the room of Major Marsland. A re-

be presented to Mr. Cobden, of whose election no doubt is now
entertained. The disgrace inflicted upon the town, by the
return of a Reformer and a Tory, is about to be wiped away.—
