THE SUN,

Blagden Hale. Mr. Grantlev Berkeley is likewise fully
n the field, and has issued an address to the electoral
body in which he denies that he is about (as has been
industriously circulated) to retire from the representa-
tion. He says he will assuredly go to the poll in the
confidence of success, and intimates his intention of
commencing an early personal canvass.
HALIFAX.
(From the Halifax Guardian)
There are five candidates in the field for the represen-
tation of this borough. The two sitting members, Sir
C. Wood and Mr. Protherce, offer again ; the anti-state
educationists have called forward Mr. E. Miall ; and the
radical section of the electors have resolved to support
Mr. E. Jones, a barrister. Mr. H. Edwards, a res•dent
in the neighbourhood, possessing considerable local in-
fluence, has also offered on the Conservative interest ;
and it is not improbable that he and the Chancellor of
the Exchequer may be returned.
HEREFORD (COUNTY.)
(From the Worcester Herald.)
The new Conservative candidate for the county of
Hereford, Mr. F. R. Haggitt, presented himself to the
electors of this town and vicinity on Thursday last, and,
we are told, made a very successful canvass.
IPSWICH.
(From the Bury Post.)
Mr. Austin having declined the invitation to become
a candidate for this borough, Mr. Hugh Adair has an-
nounced his intention of going to the poll. Mr. Line
Fox has retired from the represestatlon, and Mr. J.
Chevalier Cobbold has issued an address to the electors,
as the second Conservative candidate It is rumoured
that Mr. Hugh Adair will give place to Allen Rsnsome,
on the Liberal side, and that all parties will unite to do
honour to two men to whom the town owes so much.
KINGSTON ON HULL.
(From the Hull Packet)
The requisition to Mr. M. T. Baines has recei‘ed
nearly 600 signatures, including those of the most in-
fluential men of all political parties in the borough. Mr.
Clay is the Liberal candidate.
LINCOLN.

The present Members, Colonel Sibthorp and Mr. W.
Bickford Collett, are engaged in an active canvass of the
city, as are also their opponents at the last general elec-
tion, Sir Bulwer Lytton, Bart., and Mr. Charles Seely,
" the citizen canlidate." All four parties are acting in-
dependently of each other. In consequence of a para-
graph copied from a local print into most of the public
papess, giving the name of Mr. Weston Cracroft as one
of the candidates talked of, that gentleman has pub-
lished a letter, stating that he never had any idea of of-
fering himself as a candidate; Some other names were
also introduced with just as little foundation.
MALDON.
(From the Essex Standard.)
On Tuesday last Mr. Lennard made his first appear-
ance at Maldon as one of the candidates at the ensuing
election.

Messrs. Dick and Waddington have canvassed the
town, and met with such success as to convince them
that their success is certain. They are still canvassing,
and are determined to pay their personal respects to
every voter within the seven miles.
NE W CASTLE-UPON. TYNE.

JULY 10.—Mr. Ellison has declined the requisition of
the Conservative electors to become a candidate for the
representation of this borough, on account of his ad-
varlet d years and declining health. This intelligence
was received yesterday rooming, and was commnicated
to the committee assembled at the Turf Hotel, when a
strong feeling was unanimously expressed to bring out
Mr. Hodgson, the Member for Berwick-upon-Tweed,
and brother of Mr. Hinde. A deputation was accordingly
appointed to wait on Mr. Hodgson, who readily acceded
to their request, and returned with the deputation to
the committee-room, where he was received with en
thusiastic cheering. In little more than an hour
afterwards his address was printed and circulated,
and an active canvass on his behalf in progresi.
Mr. Ord and Mr. Headlam attended a meeting
of the Roman Catholics yesterday evening, and satisfied
the principal members of that body as to the liberality
of their views on the questions more immediately affect-
ing the members of that community, and a vote was
passed pl,dging the meeting to use every exertion to
seem° their election. This step, however, has been at-
tended by a corresponding loss among the dissenters,
who are organising a formidable opposition to Mr.Head-
lam's return.
