ELECTION MOVEMENTS.

(FROM A TELECTOR•
BA NBU RV, JUNE 13. —This little town has during the past
week been the scene of unusual excitement in consequence of
the approaching elections. Mr. Tancred, our present Mem-
ber,
has been canvassing._ on the Whig interest. It was
generally anticipated that there would be no contest, as the
Teri, s are few in number ; however, Mr. Tancred has not
been as successful as usual, as Mr. Henry Vincent, the well-
known Radical, has been invited by a large section of the elec-
toral body to offs+ himself as a candidate. Mr. Vincent
accepted the invitation, and on Friday entered Banbury with
a public procession, the numbers of which surprised all parties.
'the procession perambulated the principal streets of the town
amid the ringing of the Church bells and the cheering of the
populace. On reaching the Market-place Mr. Vincent ad-
dressed the Assemblage, explaining the principles on which he
solicited their votes, and was well received. Mr. Tancred, our
present Member, is to lecture on Monday night in the Thea-
tre; Mr. Vincent will also lecture on Tuesday night. The
whole town is a ferment. We have no Tory candidate,—
many opinions are entertained as to the result of the election.

CITY OF HEREFORD.—An active canvass was commenced
on Saturday last by E. B. Clive, Esq., and H. W. Hobhouse,
Esq., the decided enemies of monopoly. Victory is certain.
The electors of Hereford will relsond to the call of a Liberal
and patriotic Government, by the return of two anti-mono-
polists, to aid the triumph of the people's cause in the next
Session of Parliament. An attempt will be made to return the
present monopolist, Mr. Burr, but his chance is hopeless.
HEltEFOßl,►lii]LE:—Sir li. Price, Bart., and K. Hoskins,
Esq., are the candidates for this county on the Liberal inter. st,
and Joseph Bailey, jun., Esq., and M. Baskerville, Esq., on
the Tory side. T. Foby, Esq., the present 'fory Member,
has expressed his intention of retiring. Price and Heskins
are safe, the farmers and agriculturists of the county being too
enlightened and honest to be deluded by hypocritical profes-
sions from the Tories. Freeholders and electors of Hereford-
shire, England's prosperity is at stake. Duty to your young
and lovely Queen, your country, and your families, calls aloud
for your support—hesitate not to give it.. " England expects
that every man wilt& his duty."

ILFRACOMBE, JUNE 12.—The Hon. J. Fortune has this
day been canvassing the Borough of Barnstaple with great
success. He sass received by the electors with much en-
thusiasm, having promptly responded to a most numerously
signed requi,ition. No doubt is entertained but he will be re-
turned, togethealth the present Liberal Member, Sir Bruce
Chichester, Bart.
Mr. Hodgson, one of the present Members, and Mr. Spencer
De Horsey, the discarded of Newcastle-under-Lyne, are can-
didates in the Tory and Monopolist interest. It is rumoured
that Mr. Hodgson will not stand the poll.
STANLEY FOR BEILWICE.—It gives us the highest pleasure
to be enabled to announce, as a matter definitively arranged
and determined on, that William Massey Stanley, Esq., eldest
consti-

represent the borough of Berwick, it would be difficult cr im-
possible to find.—Berwick Advertiser.
COUNTY of LONGFottD.—The Relortners of this county,
led by the Whites—who have triumphed for the people in so
many battles—are ready to maintain their independence if the
enemy should appear. Mr. Luke White arrived in town on
Tbusday, and at once proceeded to his seat in Longford. At
such a crisis as the present, the Honourab:e Gentleman, true
to, his t ame and the character of his family, will take his poa,
and rerefer tictory certain.—Dublin Evening Post.
' CITY OF DUNDEE.—In the report that Sir Henry Parnell
will not again represent this town, there is no truth. Sir
Henry will again represent Dundee. He neyerestood in a bit-
ter posit,on than at present. Many of the se who on former
occasions opposed him have now seen their mistake, and will
most certainty. under existing circumstances, be his supporters. •

• • Tin, Wad of -Roden hos been in receipt of
2,7001. per annum, for the the last forty-one years, for holding
the iinecure office of " late auditor of the Irish Exchequer."
He has thus pocketed 111,700 L of public money, for doing
mischief ! Lord Jocelyn holds by the politics
of his father. He proles es to act. upon the same principles ?

THE WEATHER.—During the whole of the
p esent week we have had northerly winds with cold and raw
weather, considering that we are now so nearly approaching Mid-
q;:nmer. Great quan'ities if very fine mackerel have been
Drought ashare during the week, and vended in the town at the
rate of six and eight for a shilling. In consequence of the pre-
valence of northerly winds our Bay has been crowded with
homeward-bound vessels during the present week. Yesterday
they amounted to above 130 sail, and embraced some very fine
ships. It is to be hoped the wind will soon shift round and
watt them to their respective destinations.. On Wednesday last
a lady and gentleman resident on ;he Marine Parade, who were
exploring the rocks which shelve out into the sea, at the base of
Shakspeare's Cliff, to gather thence, such fossil treasures as
they might find, got surrounded by the unobserved marches of
Davy Jones; and, but for the timely approach of a boat en.
gaged at the works of the South-Eastern Railway, which was
passing at the time and rescued them from their perilous situa-
ion, the consequences might have been rather serious to the
adventurous pair.—Dorer Chronicle.
COMMISSION OF LUNACY ON A VISITOR TO
THE 13NNK OF LoNnost.—On Saturday a Commission of
Lunacy was opened at the Gray's Inn Coffee-huse, to inquire
into the state of mind of Mr. John Bridge, formerly a tide-
waiter, and possessed of 1,2001. property. ' He appeared to
labour under absurd ideas of large properties •having been left
him, and was placed in the tunatic Asylum, Hoxton. Several
medical witnesses spoke as to his delusions. The investgation
is adjourned for further evidence.
DREADFUL OCCURRENCE AT THE BISHOP
or CHESTER'S CONFIRMATION. —On Saturday evening last
during the confirmation held at St. Thomas's Church, Ash-
ton, near Wigan, a crack was heard in the western gallery,
as if occasioned by great pressure. Alarm was immediately
taken, and in the rush made towards the gallery stairs the
females were literally piled one upon another on those who
had fallen at the bottom of the stairs. Ladders were imme-
d'ately obtained by the police, and the undermost at last extri-
cated. One young lady sprang from the gallery, and an aged
female, named Mary Pendieborv, died from i:ijury the same
evening; numbers of females were likewise seriously hurt.
The gallery has since been examined, and it is undaulaged in
every respect.— ll'iyan Gazette.

I NDTSTINCT VISION.--It behaves all Wl,lO
value the importance of that wonderful piece of "divine uiecha-
nisrn," the Eye, to adopt every means to strengthen and preserve
it, particularly when those means are within reach, and the results
from their application are both delightful and immediately felt. E.
Solomons and Co., Opticians, &c., (36, Old Bond-street, and 1,
Old Jewry, Cheapside), have effected an improvement in Spectacles,
for which they have secured a " patent," and the strict examine
Lion ofscientific observers, as well as the all-powerful test of perso-
nal experience, have established their superiorexcellence. On their
aplication to impaired vision their effects are both delightful and
instantaneous, conveying at once a refreshing coolness to the
Eye, and rendering the most minute objects perfectly distinct,
either by day or candle-light ;in short, their superior powers
and freedom from the injurious properties of glasses, ordinarily sold,
kave secured for them the powerful recommendation of kSir B.
Brodie, Bart., ; Sir Anthony Carlisle, F.R. S.; Sir J. E.
Anderson, M. 1). ; Dr. J. Johnson, Suffolk-place; Bransby
Cooper, Esq., F.R.S., Spring.garderis ; Martin Ware, Esq. ; C.
Aston Key, Esq., F.R.S., &e. &c. E. Solomons and Co's Voice
Conductors, when placed in the Eiirs, cannot be seen, and enable
Deaf persons to distinguish the faintest inflections of a distant
speaker. Being in no way connected with any other houses in Lou-
don, and having occasion to guard the public against mistakes,
which a similarity of names (aided by various schemes that are re
sorted to by empirics) have in several instances occasioned severe
disappointment to the incautious, they call particular attention to
the following address-3G, Old Bond-street, and 1, Old Jewry, City.

Patronized by their Majesties the King and
Queen of Hanover, and their Royal Highnesses the Princesses
Augusta and Sophia, her Serene Highness the Princess Esterhaay,
the Princesses Mary and Rosa, her Grace the Dowager Duchess
of Bedford, and their Graces the Archbishop of Canterbury .sud the
Dukes of Norfolk, Devonshire, and Manchester. In addition to the
above distinguished patronage to the newly-invented Spectacle
Lenses and Invisible Operative Voice Conductor, the Messrs. S.
and B. Solomons, opticians and aurists, 39, Albemarle street, Pic.
caililly, and 76, King William-street, Bank of England, feel great
pleasure to state that their valuable inventions have also gained the
sanction and unqualified approbation of above four hundred of the
principal members of the medical rrolession ; as alit of numerous
individuals of high distinction, who have been greatly benefited by
their use. Immediately these improved Spectacle Lenses are
placed before extrema imperfect vision, it is at once brougnt bock to
its natural and original state, every object becomes clear a.id dis-
tinct, and the most minute particle is seen, either by day or canale-
light, with ease and distinctness. Their Voice Conductor, by
which thousands of deaf persons have been greatly benefited, is not
the least perceptible, not more uncomfornible, than having a pielce
of wool in its place, and the faintest whisper at a public assernbty
is heard with exact distinctness.-39, Albemarle-street, opposite
the York Hotel, and 76 King William-street, Bank.—No con.
nexion with persons of the same name.
The General S:eam Navigation Company's ves-
sel the Giraffe, R. Stranach, from Rotterdam, arrived oil the
custom-house, on Sunday, with the Dutch wail.

Tut: CLON3IEL.—We regret that want of space uaa-
pels es to give a condensed account of the loss of the Coniar_
It appears from the report given in the Port Phillip Herald,.
of the 12th instant, that she ran on shore about three A.m. out
the 2d of linuary, arid all efforts to back her off were unavail..
ing, when the passengers and crew were landed on the beach,
with prov:sions,•&c., where tents were formed from the ship's
sa Is for their acqommodation. A gentleman named Simpson,.
to7.ether with Mi. Edwards, proceeded in a whale-boat, with a
volunteer crew of live seamen, towards Melbourne, and after
undergoing great difficulties were picked up by the cutter
SisteN. Captain Nlulhall, by whom they were landed at Wil-
liam's Town. The cutters Sisters and li, Al Watch sailed for
the wreck on the 11th instant, having on hoard Captain
Roach, agent of the -Clontuel, Mr. Lewis, 'Harbour-master,
and Lieutenant Russell, with a detachment of the 29th Regi-
meat. Amongst the
.passengers were Mr. and Mrs. Walker
(Mrs. W. daughter of Mr. Blaxlar.d, M.L.C., and the pre-
sent is the second shipwreck she has suffered); Mr. Goodwin
(of the firm of Hamilton and Goodwin of Melbourne) to whom
one-half of the cargo beidtiged. Mr. Robinson, of the Union
Bank, having in his charge 3,000/. of the bank notes received
at Sydney. The whole has been lost, and 'is supposed to have
been stolen. There were on board 300 tons of coals and 200
tons general cargo. At the time Mr. Simpson left, her false
keel and part of the sheathing was floatinz about the vessel,
but she was not making ,any wafer, and he is of opinion that
should the weather continue moderate, she would be got off.
When she first struck her rate of speed was upwards of ten
miles an hour. We are sorry to have to add that the firemen
and some others acted in a most disgraceful manner.
The Isabella had become a total wreck on King'i Island,
and the passengers and crew had been brought on to Mel-
bourne.
