LINCOLN.—SIR E.BULWER Lirros.----The Lincoln
Times states that there is no truth in the report that Sir E.
L. Bulwer Lytton will offer himself as a candidate for the
next election: he may, perhaps, be proposed and seconded,
but we believe it will be against the wish of the Honourable
Baronet, who, it is understood, has determined to stand fur
Hertfordshire, with every chance of success; it is not, there.
lbre, likely that he will put himself in the position to be
again defeated in Lincoln. We should very much rejoice to
see Sir Edward here again, but we fear that there is no
chance of his coming.
