ELECTION TALK.

BODMIN.—There will be four candidates for Bodmin : Lord
Eliot, the two present members (Mr. Peter and Sir T. S.
Spry, Reformers), and Major Vivian, son of Sir Hussey Vi-
Ilan- It is very likely the present members will be re-elected,
at all events Mr. Peter is sure.
BRIDGWATER.—The result of the canvas, so far as it has
been made, for Colonel Tynte and Mr. Leader, two thorough
Reformers, is most satisfactory, and leaves no doubt of the
result.

BASSETLAW.—Mr. Harcourt Vernon, a Reformer of long
standing, will come into the field again. His success is said
to be beyond doubt. Lord Newark, we hear, is also safe.
BEDFoau.—Captain Polhill has again come forward to con-
test the representation with the present members.
BERWICK. —Major- General Sir James Cockburn comes
forward on the Conservative interest for Berwick.
CIIESTEM.—No contest. Lord R. Grosvenor and John
Jervis walk over.

-- - ......... .........
CARMARTHENSHIRE BOROUGHS.—The Reform Candidate is
safe.

CAMBRIDGE.—Mr. Knight and Mr. Wigram, of the Chan-
cery Bar, are both on the look-out here.
CAMBRIDGESHIRE.—The Conservatives fancy they can re-
turn two of the members out of three ; they have called on
Major Hall to be their second man, in conjunction with Mr.
Eliot Yorke, brother of the late member, now Earl Hard-
wicke. Their object is to reject Mr. J. W. Childers. Mr.
Greaves Townley, the other member, has declared his intention
also to come forward, and says, " he has no fear as to the result
of a contest, though Tories, under a new name, profess their
willingness to become Reformers."
CARMARTHENSIIIRE,—It being strongly rumoured that E. H.
Adams, Esq., one of the present representatives, has declined
again offering himself, requisitions have been got up in almost
all parts of the county, to Sir James Williams, of Edwinsford,
urging that gentleman immediately to come forward. Of the
return of the Honourable Colonel Trevor, the other member,
there is no doubt.
CHESHIRE ( SOUTII).—A third candidate for this division of
the county has sprung up since our last, in the person of J.
Tollemache, Esq., Tilstone-lodge, Tarporley, son of the
worthy Admiral of that name.—lllacclesfield Courier.
DENBIGHSHIRE.—The Tories have given up all idea of a
second candidate. The Tory Wynne, and the Whig Biddulph,
walk over.
DENBIGHSHIRE BOROUGHS.—The canvas is completed, and
"honest John Maddocks" is secure.
DEVONPORT.—Both Sir George Grey and Admiral Cod-
rington will he returned.
DEVON (NORTH).—Lord Ebrington and Mr. Fe!lowes will
be returned without opposition.
EXETER.—There can be no doubt of the safety of the sitting
Members.
EDINBCRGIL—Sir John Campbell's address to the electors
appears in the Edinburgh Journals. " The party (he says)
who have now obtained the ascendancy have not as yet ven-
tured openly to avow that they mean to oppose Reform, though
why they should dissolve a reformed and reforming Parliament,
except to oppose reform, is incomprehensible?"
EAST LOTHIAN.—Mr. Ferguson is secure.
GUILFORD.—Mr. Austen does not oppose Mr. Mangles,
who has been returned twice upon the Liberal interest. Mr.
Raring Wail, the Tory candidate, is striving hard to be re-
turned. The straggle will be between Mr. Austen and Mr.
WalL
HONITON.—The Bristol Jlfercury says, that the Tories
talk of opposing Mr. Guest, the former indefatigable member
iHoniton, but it adds, that the opposition will be useless.
We sincerely hope so.
HAMPSHIRE (NORTH).—Mr. Knight, of Chauton Park,
near Alton, has become a candidate on the Conservative inte-
rest for the Northern Division of this county. Messrs.
Letlwre and Scot, the present Members, will again take the
field, and there is no doubt they will gain an easy victory.
KIDDERMINSTER.—Mr. G. R. Philips's election may be
considered secure by a very large majority.
LICHFIELD.—The contest will be severe. The Tories
from the Cathedral-cioze, back Sir E. D. Scott. Mr. Finch
gains ground every hour, azd his success is confidently spoken
of. General Sir G. Anson, 6e tried friend of the people, is
safe.
LACNCESTON.—Launceston will be contested by Sir H.
Hardinge and Mr. Howell ; we hope the people will vote
against the Tory.
LISKEARD.—Lord Eliot canvassed his own boroug'h
, Lis-
keard, but met with no support. Mr. Kekewich,
a Tory,
has started in his stead. He will run a fruitless opposition to ,
the present Member, Mr. C. Buller, who is certain of an
overwhelming majority. Lord Eliot has since gone to Bodmin.
LAUNCESTON.—Sir H. Hardinge has published an address
to the electors of Launceston, in which he expresses the same
views of public feeling as those contained in Sir Robert Peel's
address to the electots of Tamworth ; and the same topics are
dwelt upon in nearly the same order as the Right Honourable
Baronet's manifesto.
LIMERICK CITY.—The present Reform Members, Messrs.
William and David Roche, will be returned without any oppo-
sition. In the event of Mr. William Roche being obliged to
retire from ill-health, it is the universal intention to call upon
the Right Hon. T. S. Rice, who resigned the representation
of Limerick for Cambridge, to start upon Reform or anti-
Tory principles.
MALMSBURY.—This borough will return Viscount Andover,
the son of the noble and patriotic Earl of Suffolk.
MANCHESTER.—A third candidate for the borough is now
fairly in the field, in the person of Mr. Braidley. No can-
didate has yet been brought forward by the Radicals.
Normonam.—Sir John C. Hobhouse and General Fer-
gusson are likely to be returned without opposition.
NEWCASTLE. Mr. Ord arrived in Newcastle yesterday
(Thursday)
and has declared his intention to contest the town.
The Sitting Members, Sir M. W. Ridley, Bart., and John
Hodgson, Esq., have likewise been busily engaged in solicit-
ing a renewal of their trust. The Radical party too, have
been making considerable exertions on behalf of Mr. Ayton,
of Edinburgh.
PONTEFRACT.—The feeling in favour of Mr. Gully, and
the confident expectation of his success, are all but universal ;
and if the electors assert their freedom, Mr. Raphael is secure.
RICHMOND.—Sir R. Dundas retires, and the Honourable
J. C. Dundas stands for York. A canvas has commenced
by the Honourable Thomas Dundas, now M. P. for York,
and Alexander Spiers, Esq., of Elderslie, in Scotland (both
Reformers.) An opponent is likely to appear.
SELKIRKSHIRE.—Mr. Pringle, of Yair, has announced his
intention of again coming forward as a candidate for the ho-
nour of representing the county of Selkirk, in opposition to
the present Member, Mr. Pringle, Clifton.
Souniwaax.—Mr. Benjamin Wood, brother of the Alder-
man, starts for Southwark on the Liberal interest, pledging
himself to " Triennial Parliaments, Vote by Ballot, an ex-
tended constituency, and a better defined right of suffrage."
SCNDERLAND.—Sir W. Chaytor has at length issued an ad-
dress to the electors of the borough, so that the matter of his
again contesting his election is now placed beyond all doubt.
Mr. D. Barclay, the other able and enlightened candidate for
the suffrages of this independent borough, starts to-day,
Saturday.
SurnsanaNn.—Mr. Macleod, of Cadbnll, has addressed the
electors in behalf of his son, who is still abri7,d, and his elec-
tion is of course secure.
STAFFORDSHIRE ( SouTn).—Sir Charles Wolseley has {Oiled
an address to the electors of South Staffordshire, in which hd
offers himself as a candidate to represent them in Parliament.
Staffortighire Advertiser.
EiTAFFOROSHIRE NORTH).—Jesse Watts Russell, Esq., will
come forward again on the Tory side. Sir Oswald Moseley
and Mr. Buller, our present county members, renew the offer
of their services to the electors.
TRURO.—This place has tl:ree candidates—the present re-
presentatives, Sir Hussey Viviail and Mr Tooke, and Mr.
Ennis Vivian; the latter was an unsuccessful candidate at the
last election. Sir Hussey and Mr. Took: are certain of
success.
TIVERTON.—Mr. Langmead has declared himself a candi-
date for Tiverton, in addition to the other three candidates.
TAVISTOCK.—Lord Russell and John Rundle, Esq., are
both considered secure.
WEsnie ay.—A deputation from this borough has waited
on W. Blair, Esq., and strongly pressed him to become a
candidate.
WINCHESTER.—The canvas for this city has been completed.
Messrs. Mildmay and Baring, the present Members, are tried
Reformers ; Mr. East, the Tory candidate, is the nominee of
the Duke of Buckingham. The Reformers feel confident
that their endeavours will again be crowned with success.
WieTowNseian.—Sir Andrew Agnew and Mr. Blair, of
Penninghame, are each prosecuting an active canvas for the
county.
WIGTOWM DISTRICT OF BURGHS.—Mt. Edward Stewart
will not stand as a candidate at the forthcoming election, and
Mr. M‘Taggart, of Ardwell, is the only person that as yet
sues for the suffrages of the electors.—Dumfries Courier.
Yoronan.—The return of Mr. John O'Connell is placed
beyond all doubt.—Morning Register.

Scotland enjoys repose and tranquillity, while Ireland
is agitated from one extremity to the other like the waves of
the ocean. The quiet of the former is not disturbed by
Orangemen, or tithes, or tithe proctors, while the latter
country is kept in a state of perpetual excitement by these and
discordant factions, whose hatred towards each other is
cherished :;
y artful men, who can have but little regard for the
prosperity of t:2eir country. The present Administration is ill
calculated to remo.T these differences, as there is included in
their arrangements vioijnt partizans, whose prejudices are in-
curable, and who, instead of strengthening, will add to the
manifest weakness of the Governme,:.!.
ROSTREVOR.-4 had heard muchthe beauty of
Rostrevor ; and before leaving Newry, I devotea day, to it ;
and now that I have seen Rostrevor, I pronounce it to CC.: one
of the most beautiful spots in Ireland. The road from Newry
to Rostrevor skirts the river all the way, till it widens into
Carlingford bay ; and it is not often that one passes through a
finer valley than that which extends between Newry and the
sea ; the boundaries of the valley can scarcely be finer than
they are ; and it possesses this rare distinction, that the moun-
tains, in place of gradually softening down into tameness, as the
valley approaches the sea, rise into greater elevation ; and the
mountain boundaries of the lower part of Carlingford bay rival
in height and boldness, the wilds of Kerry and Galway. But
there is here a beautiful intermixtnre of the soft and smiling
with the abrupt and sterile. Cultivated slopes and wooded
heinhts form the immediate banks of the river and the lake ;
and mansions, villas, and cottages, are every where thickly
strewn ; and the bay is so completely land-locked that the calm-
ness of its waters is generally in perfect union with the gentle
beauty of the scenery.—lnplis's Irelan&
