ELECTION MOVEMENTS.
PLYMOUTH.
JULY 7.—The interest experienced in respect to the elec-
tion become stronger and stronger every moment. Both par-
ties to-day express themselves confident of success. An
active canvass is being carried on on both sides. Mr. Vincent
yesterday evening addressed several thousand personsin front
of the theatre, he was received by the assembled multitude
with considerable applause, that multitude, however, was
composed principally of non-electors. This day at noon he
stake for about one hour to another open-air meeting. His
speech in this instance was listened to with less enthusiasm
than was apparent at the meeting of last night. To-night
ae attends a meeting of the electors and others at the theatre.
The best-informed think Mr. Vincent's chance of success very
small, if indeed he has any chance at all, notwithstanding
the flattering confute-nce of his friends.
Lord Ebring,ton's committee, sitting daily at the Mecha-
nics' Institute, ate every moment expecting his Lordship's
arrival in town, but up to this time (three o'clock rat.) he
has nut arrived.

DEVON PORT.
All is going on quiet in Devonport. The friends of Sir
George Grey met la-t night to arrange matters for the re-
ception of the lion. Baronet on his arrival, which is expected
ro take place on Thursday. There is to be a dinner of Sir
George and his friends after the election on Friday.

BOROUGH OF HERTFORD.
HERTFORD, JULY 7.—ln consequence of Mr. William Cow-
per, M.P. for this borough, hav►ng accepted office as one of
the Lords of the Admiralty, considerable excitement was
caused in this place on the evening of Monday last, various
speculations being indulged in by different parties as to the
probable occurrence of a contest by some of the scions of
families in the neighbourhood connected with the " Protec-
tionist" interest.

This morning, how, ver, the writ arrived, and at an early
hour it was proclaimed to the public from the Town-hall, in
the market-place, by Mr. Lawrence, the Mayor of Hertford.
Shortly after this announcement, the Hon. Candidate per-
sonally visited the electors, accompanied by Captain Towns-
end, the Rev. J. Scrimshire, rector of St. Andrew's, Hert-
ford ; Mr. H. Squires, Mr. W. Spence, Mr. G. Crawley, Mr.
John Tasker, Mr. Hancock, Mr. S. Cousins, Mr. Gardiner,
and other leading Whigs of the neighbourhood. There ap-
peared to be the most unanimous feeling in favour of the
Hon. Gentleman, and the promises yielded to him upon ap-
plication were most abundant.
Up to the time of the evening trains leaving Hertford last
night no other candidate had made his appearance; indeed
no opposition is now expected.
It is announced by the authorities that the election will
take place on Saturday morning next ,at an early hour, so
that the proceedings may not interfere with public business
at the assizes, which open on Friday.
There has been considerable bustle in the town throughout
the whole day.

GLOUCESTER.
GLOUCESTER, TUESDAY.—This morning the fain of
Captain Berkeley commenced an active canvass with, as we
are informed, great success. The Conservatives will offer no
opposition. The Captain arrived by the express train from
London at half-past 12 o'clock this morning, and was ac-
companied from the station of the Great Western Railway
by the Sheriff, the Mayor, Alderman Walker, Alderman
Jenkins, and many other liberal gentlemen of the town and
neighbourhood. The party proceeded to the King's Head
Hotel, and shortly afterwards the Captain visited the elec •
tors in person. On his arrival the bells of the different
churches rang merry peals, and he received a warm recep •
tion from his supporters. The nomination is fixed for Satur•
day next.

NOTTINGHAM.
icurriNctrAm, Timm-JAY, 4 P.M.—The new President of
the Board of Control is not to be allowed to " walk over the
course." An address has been issued by the leaders of the
Chartist body, calling on the constituency to support
.6 Llbour's champion, Feargus O'Connor, Esq.," who is
expected to arrive this evening and address the electors
forthwith in the market-place. A subscription has also been
cominenced to pay Mr. -Connors share of the legal ex-
penses of hustings and polling-booths. So great is the tut
popularity of Sir John 1-lobliouse amon; all classes here,
tint: sh‘',uld lie determine not to spend money his chances
of re elect hi m. even with such an opponent, are by no means
.
congrattila!ory.
