MURSDAY.--There con Rtinues toENWICH be no doubt of the unop-
posed return of Admiral Dur das for this borough on Monday
next. It is true that there has been a rumour afloat, to the
!fleet that Mr. Gladstone, the late Secretary for the Colonies.,
intends to visit Greenwich next Monday, the day of nomina-
tion, not, it is said, for the purpose of contesting the election
with Admiral Dundas, but with the view of introducing
himself to the electors, in order to ensure his return to Par-
liament at the next general election. This rumour, however,
seems on the face of it to be utterly without foundation;
for it is highly improbable that Mr. Gladstone, taking
the present state of the feeling of the inhabitants of
Greenwich into consideration, would with such a view
present himself to the electors of Greenwich to obtain
a show of hands anything but in his favour. The
hustings will be, not on Blackheath, as has been stated, but
in Church-street, as has been usual during all the borough
elections here. Colonel Popplewell is to be the proposer, and
Mr. J. Wade the seconder, of the gallant Admiral. Two
meetings of the electors took place last evening, one at the
White Hart Tavern, and the other at the Lord Duncan
Tavern ; both were unanimously in favour of Admiral
Dundas.
