ELECTION MOVEMENTS.

WESTBURY.—In consequence of the sudden and la-
mented decease of T. IL H. Phipps, Esq., of Leighton
llouse, on Sunday last, all operations were immediately
suspended in reference to the contest for the representa-
tion of Westbury, which have been actively prosecuted
during the last three weeks. With the same good taste
which has marked Mr. Wilson's proceedings throughout
the contest, and which has obtained for him the general
respect of the borough, that gentleman left Westbury.
for London early on Monday morning, in order to pre-
vent the slightest appearance of a canvass being con-
tinued, which his presence in the town might still have
given rise to.— Wilts Independent.
OxFottro.—We hear that the Honourable T. E. Stonor
(son of Lord Camoys), who was foreman of the grand
jury at the late assizes, is to be brought forward on
the Liberal interest at the next election.—Banbury
Guardian.

LINCOLN.—It would appear that the attempt to get
Mr. Collett not to contest the city of Lincoln at the
next election is a complete failure, as parties professing
to be in the secret of Mr. Collett's inten•ions state that
he will not be induced to leave the field.—Stan ford
Mercury.
lIERTFORDSIIIRE.—Two of the sitting members for
Hertfordshire are, it is said, desirous of retiring, and
Colonel Calvert, Mr. Hale. Mr. Spencer Cowper, Sir
E. L. Bulwer Lytton, and Mr. Bosanquet, have, accord-
ing to the Hertford Mercury, declined the honour of
being placed in nomination. Requisitions are now in
coure of signature, to be presented to Mr. Brand, a
gentleman of Whig politics and much respected in the
county ; and should he consent to be a candidate, his
return is regarded as certain.— Stamford Mercury.
BoDmitc.—Mr. Wyld, the eminent map and chart
seller at Charing-cross, is canvassing the electors of
Bodwin, in anticipation of a speedy dissolution of Par-
liament. Mr. Cockburn and Mr. Butt, both of the
Western Circuit, are also spoken of as candidates.—
Plymouth Journal.

KrAIDAL ELECTION.—Mr. George Carr Glyn has
issued an address to the electors of Kendal. His senti-
nm nts are manly, straightforward, and liberal. his
well-known business habits have met with much favour
in this independent borough. The electors appointed a
committee to select a suitable candidate, and from those
who were named, the committee resolved that Mr. Glyn's
sentiments were satisfactory, and will report such an
opinion to a meeting of the electors to be held on Tues-
day next. Certainly the manner in which the choice of
candidates is conducted in Kendal, and the unanimity
and prudence manifested, is deserving of much praise.

MR. JUSTICE DIAULES LAST.—The accommoda-
tion for the judges at the Reading Assizes is extremely
meagre. Mr. Justice Maule reminded the authorities of
this, the other day, in rather a humorous manner.
Coming into court in the morning, with his little three-
cornered hat, which the judge carries in his hand, his
Lordship cast his eyes above and around, but saw no
place convenient for the deposit of the judicial " tile."
His Lordship, turning round to the Under-Sheriff, ad-
dressed him in a loud tone of voice—" Mr. Under•
Sheriff, take my hat back to my lodgings, there seems to
be no room for it here."

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—The Registered Paletot of
Llama cloth, the most fashionable coat for both the present
and approaching seasons, still retains the same moderate
price, which, with its usefulness and gentlemanly appear-
ance, has secured such general popularity. It has been made
by special ccraimand for their Royal Highnesses Prince
Albert, Prince George of Cambridge, Prince Edward of Saxe
Weimar, his grace the Duke of Wellington, and the several
royal visitors to the British Court. In London it can only
be purchased of the patentees, 11. J. and D. Nicoll, Court
tailors, 114., Regent-street, and 22, Cornhill. Agents for
Liverpool, Dawbarn and Son, Bold-street; for Dublin, Geo.
Macdona, Molesworth-street ; for Birtnin4hain, Wareing and
Son, New-street; for Edinburgh, Christie and Son, George-
street ; and the principal tailors in other large towns.
Puoor 01' ENORMITY OF PROFITS ON GAS.—At
a recent special meeting of the Liverpool Council, Mr.
Danson riointed attention to the fact, that the Guardian
Compar,y, by compelling the old establishments to
reduce their prices from 7s. to 4s. 6d., had been the
means of effecting a saving of no less than 36,0001. per
annum to the inhabitants. And he might have also
P°inted attention to the consequent fact, that these two
establishments must have therefore been previously in
the habit of coolly pocketing this very 36,0001. per
annuot themselves, over and above all their present more
Ithan. sufficient profits.—The Builder,
