ELECTION MOVEMENTS.
THE CITY OF LONDON.
Shortly after one o'clock on' Saturday, Mr. Sheriff Laurie,
attended by the two Secondaries, Messrs. James and Potter,
proceeded to the.hustings in Guildhall, when the Chief Usher
of the Corpooration, Mr. Harker, made proclamation of the
receipt, by the Sheriffs of London, of her Majesty's writ, com-
manding them to proceed to the election of a citizen to serve
in the present Parliament in the room of Lord John Russell,
whose seat has necessarily been vacated by his acceptance of
the office of First Lord of the Treasury. A second procla-
mation was made, declaring that the Sheriff would proceed
to the election on Wednesday next, the Bth instant, at eleven
for twelve o'clock, iu Guildhall. We perceive that a prelimi-
nary meeting of the electors, with a view to promote Lord
John Russell's re-election, is announced to be held at the
Ball of Commerce this day, and.this movement is the solitary
indication of the approach of the election—opposition is not
even thoui,ht of.

TIVERTON.
JULY 4.—The writ for a new election, in consequence of
Lord Palmerston having resumed his old post in the Cabinet,
arrived here at two o'clock this afternoon from the office of
the under-Sheriff, Winslow Jones, Esq., Exeter. Lord
Palmerston's acceptance of office had been previously known,
but notwithstanding this the arrival of the writ made not
the least sensation in ,the town,. the Noble Lord being too
1 popular to allo*The slightest doubt as to his re election. A
report was spread at Exeter that "Squire Daniel" intended
to try his fortunes in a contest. This gentleman is son of the
far-famed Alderman Daniel, the great West India merchant
of Bristol, who was the-architect of his own fortunes, and has
reared a tolerably 'substantial edifice. - • Mr: Daniel possesses
a large property at Stoodleigb, which he purchased from the
late Mr. Fazakerlev, a transfer which did not strengthen the
Liberal interest in that district, but. the Tiverton Reformers
have nothing to fear from the Daniel interest. Lord Pal-
merston's colleague is John Heatcoat, Esq., M,.P., the
celebrated inventor of the lace machine. Ile has made a
splendid fOrtune by the legitimate application of his great
original talents, and he has taken care that all whb are in
his employ shall in some measure share in the success of the
establishment. He has built and endowed schools for the
children of his workpeople, as well as those of the towns-
people. They are superintended by able teachers, and sup
plied with the best maps, models, tisc. He has provided
large cottage allotments for his workpeople, and voluntarily,
limited the working time to eleven hours per day. In re-
spect to the town itself his liberal hand is engaged in every
good work, and at the present-moment he is maintaining, at
a heavy pecuniary cost, a Chancery suit against the trustees
of Blundell's School, in order to compel them to administer
the trust of the Tiverton Grammar School, in accordance
with the will of the donor, and in obedience to the general
requirements of the present day, as well as the earnest desire
of the inhabitants. In all his works of usefulness, Mr.
Heathcoat is most ably supported by his son-in-law and
partner, A. Brewin, Esq. The effect of all this public spirit
is to make the inhabitants stand by him as one man ; and as
Lord Palmerston has the warm support of Mr. Heathcoat's
partizans and friends, his Lordship's return is certain.
