NORWICH.

(From the West Norfolk Herald.)
The Tories seem to be satisfied with the Marquis of
Douro, and the Whigs are content with the promises of
Mr. Pew, and there is little doubt that a compromise
will be attempted.
PEMBROKE.
(From the Welshman.)
On Friday last Sir John Owen, Bart., MP. for the
Pembroke boroughs, arrived at Tenby per Phceuix
steamer. his reception was anything but cheering.
READING.

A new candidate has just come forward in the person
of Mr. F. Pigott, of Heckfield, near Reading, who has
addressed the electors and issued the following announce-
ment. There are now, besides, three candidates in the
field, Mr. C. Russell and Lori Chelsea, the present Mem-
bers, and Mr. Sergeant Taltourd, each of whom is per-
sonally canvassing the electors.
" Gentlemen,—Being solicited by a numerous and in-
fluential body of voters, I beg leave to offer myself as a
candidate for the honour of representini, your borough
in Parliament. lam aware of the disadvantage under
which I labour in nut sing able to recommend myself
to your confidence by referring to my participation in
public affairs as a Mrmber of Parliament ; still, for
many years I have taken a deep interest in political
events, and advocated as an individual these Liberal
measures now adopted by Parliament and stamped with
popular approbation. I would most readily support all
measures tending to improve the social, moral, and intel-
lectual condition of the people, and allow all cksses t
hem-6r by the distribution of public tunds appropriated
for the purposes of education. I would endeav .ur firmly
to uphold the Prot. static religion in its strictest sense,
regarding any advancement of the Romish Church as
dangerous to the existence of civil and religious liberty.
I tun strongly opposed to many of the enactments of the
present poor-law as unnecessarily cruel and oppressive,
and would heartily co orrate in their mitigation. Should
I be allowed the honour of representing you, it shall be
my constant aim carefully to watch over the interests
of the town of Reading, which my immediate residence
in your neighbourhood enables me to do.
I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, very faith-
fully yours, "F. PIGOTT."
RIPON.

It is understood that Sir J. Graham, whose advances
ri•ceived little favour at Hull, will be brought forward
for this borough.
TEWKESBURY.

JULY 10.--There There is likely to be a hot contest here.
All the three candidates, Viscount Lascelles, Mr.
Brown, and Mr. Martin, have been, and are to- day,
busily engaged canvassing the electors. Mr. Dowdes-
well, in announcing his intention not to solicit re-elec-
tion, states, that he does so " in the absence of any poli-
tical topic of paramount importance to agitate the public
mind and under the pressure of domestic affliction."
Viscount Lascelles offers himself as Mr. Dowdeswell's
successor, and thus avows his political sentiments: —" I
feel most sincerely attached to the Protestant religion
and those established institutions which have hitherto so
well contributed to the prosperity of this country; and
whilst I should resist any attempt to destroy or injure
them, I would not object to any alteration which might
tend to their improvement."
The address of Mr. Martin has already been noticed.
Mr. Humphrey Brown has just issued his address, in
which he says:—
" A long mercantile experience affords the best safe-
guard that I shall always be found advocating a liberal
policy, and be at all times ready to support such mea-
sures as will promote the industry and enterprise of the
country. I shall also be willing to
encourage any means
of creating revenue by direct taxation in lieu of the pre
sent indirect mode, which presses so hard. indus-
trious on the inus-
trious classes. The present distribution of the church
revenues I consider unjust in principle and injurious to
the church, by impairing her usefulness and the dignity
of her character. I will give no consent to any revenue
grant in aid of any church which holds no sliritual alli-
ance with our Protestant establishment, and I think the
professed necessity of such a grant from the national
fund is uncalled for, an unfair dealing with the public
money, and an insult to those religious bodies who not
only support their own churches, but educate their chil-
idren without national grants of any kind."

emptied the pan of its contents, made its exit by the
same passage through wh.ch it entered the dairy, anti
was ultimately killed by Mr. Cooper, with no further
