ELECTIONEERING MOVEMENTS.

( From the Hull Advertiser.)
LEEDS.-Mr. Marshall, owing to impaired health, will, in
the event of a dissolution, retire from the representation of
this borough. Mr. Baines stands again, and Mr. F. H,
Fawkes,—son of Walter Fawkes, whose name was so long
identified with the cause of reform—is mentioned as likely to
come forward. Sir John Beckett's friends have had a meeting,
pleding themselves to his support. Sir John is gazetted
as one of the Lords of the Treasury under the new adminis-
tration.

HALIFAX.-Mr. Briggs retires. As a colleague with Mr.
Wood, Mr. Protheroe, formerly M.P., for Bristol, who is
connected, by marriage, with Halifax, has been requested, and
consents to stand.

BRADFORD. -Mr. Lister receives the support of the Libe-
ral party, which Mr. Hardy, the other Member, has forfeited.
Mr. Hadfield, of Manchester, whose name has been frequently
connected with the cause of Reform and Religious Liberty,
has consented to be put in nomination. Mr. Hardy has also
announced his intention to stand.

HUDDERSFIELD.—It is expected that Mr. Blackburne, the
Chief Commissioner of the Municipal Inquiry, will be again
elected. The Reformers have been called "to meet in the
spirit of concord, and erect the standard of Reform and Dur-
ham—Durham, and the Rights of Englishmen."
WAKEFIELD.—The Tories talk of bringing forward Mr.
morortley. Mr. D. Gaskell has addressed the electors in the
reforming interest, consenting again to serve them.
MASCHESTER.—The Committees of Mr. Poulett Thomson
and Mr. Mark Phillips have each been re-organised, and it is
fully eivected that both will offer themselves again. The
Tories tall of another contest, but the Reformers entertain no
doubt of reto.-ning both members.
WEST Rinll,;o OF YORKSHIRE.—It is understood that the
present members;' Lord Morpeth and Sir George Strickland,
enjoy the public ct.'nfidence in so high a degree as to render
their return to Parll,:ment certain.
Mr. Cobbett is expo cted to be at Oldham this month.
Hum..—Last evening a meeting was held at the Durham
Ox, "to take steps for the re-election of Messrs. Hill and
Hutt, in the event of a dissolution of Parliament, and to adopt
such measures as may seem .desirable for obtaining the union
of all Reformers in combating the common enemy." Mr.
Peck in the Chair.

GERMAN PAPZRS.

FROM THE MAINE, Nov. 6.—The 774: es takes occasion
from an article in the Allgemeine Zeitunq, pub,:;shed some days
ago, relative to Prince Metternich, to make a violent attack on
that statesman, the sum and substance of which ma v be reduced
to the not unfounded accusation that Prince Metter.iich is un-
favourable to the revolutions which have broken out in several
countries during the last thirteen or fourteen years. Jt seems
very strange to hear from the Times a reproach of the .Bava-
rian Censorship, for having suffered the All emeine
to print an article which it declares to be an affront to all Go-
vernments founded on a revolutionary basis. Though we arc
very constant readers of the Times, we do not recollect that at
ever before expressed a wish to silence its adversaries by the
Censorship. It must, doubtless, be greatly at a loss for argu-
ments, when it desires to place its own cause, the cause of re-
volution, in which unlimited freedom of the press is an essen-
tial ingredient, under the protection of the German Cen-
sorship, which it so much abhors. But let us pass over
this anomaly ; let us for a moment put Prince Met-
ternich out of the question, and consider the colas°
which the policy of Austria follows, and the results of which
we see in the situation in which that Monarchy presents itself
to our view. All reasoling seems to be superfluous ; we need
but to look at the most notorious and simple facts; we ask nes
more than that people may take the trouble to compare tho
tranquillity and happiness of Austria with the state of theses
countries which revolution has visited, or in which it is now in
full activity. How many Spaniards, how many Portuguese,
may there be who prefer the present state of things in their
country, to the peace and security which the inhabitants of all
the provinces of Austria enjoy ? Take the adherents of what
party you please, no man in the world, with the exception of
a small number of adventurers, can think a sstem of
Government desirable which, as in Spain and Per..
tugal, is every moment threatened with dissAution,
and whose !duration the most sanguine would not
presume to insure for a fortnight ? The happiness,
of Austria, the peace of Europe, order and justice, these aro
the great objects which the policy of Austria has constantly in
view ; it has succeeded in promoting the internal prosperity of
the monarchy, and maintaining peace between the great
powers ; and if in spite of all the efforts of the policy of
Austria, order and justice have not been everywhere maintained
in Europe, it bastheen only in those countries in which the sys-
tem followed by Austria could not exert its influence. So
micy disorders, violations of justice, and revolutions, have oc-
curre.i precisely in those countries, that deviate from the up-
right Sand permanent principles which form the basis of tho
policy of Austria. We may also observe that experience
shows the whenever a Government thinks it has completed
the dangerous circle of revolution, and wishes at length to give
itself and its subjects tranquillity and peace—wherever a Go-
vernment proceeding from revolution endeavours to consolidate
itself, one of its first steps usually is to approximate to the
policy of the Colin of Austria.—Allgemeine Zeitung.
MUNICH, Nov. B,—lt is believed that the Chevalier
Bayard, who is gone bac:t to Lisbon, taking London in his
way, is the bearer of an answer assenting to the matrimonial
alliance proposed to our Com t ; but it is impossible to say posi-
tively that this belief is well (voided, because the negotiations
d An entirely in the august fa-
on the subject have been carried
mily itself, one of whose members: is invited to Portugal.
In clearing away the rubbish of the fire at Reichenhall 11
bodies have been dug from the ruins'. The number of per-
sons who perished in the flames is not accurately known, but
some are still missing.—Franhjiirt Paper, Nov. 23.
MUNICH, Nov. 21.—His Royal Highness Prince Charles of
Bavaria has given 1,000 florins for the sufferers at Reichen-
hall. Some journals have stated the amount of the damage
done to the public buildings at Reichenhall at four millions.
We are able to say, on good authority, that buildings belonging
to the salt works which were burnt were valued at 412,055
florins, the Custom-house at 30,000, that the whole injury to
the public buildings is 442,055 florins.
VIENNA, Nov. 18.—Five per Cent. Metalliques, 99k; Four per
Cent., 91k; Bank Shares, I,2B2.—Allgemeine Zeitunq, Nov. 23-

A GIIOST.—The greatest consternation has InrA*
veiled in the town and neighbourhood of Kingscourt for soma
time past, in consequence of its being- seriously asserted, and
partially believed, that the spirit of Thomas Slevin, a brogue.
maker, of that town, who died very suddenly of cholera about
three months ago (and which was then noticed in the Drogheda'
Journal, under the head of " Awfully sudden Death"), has
been lately appearing. By the various statements which are
afloat on the subject, it would appear that the ghost made stlll
appearance on Sunday night, the 12th Oct. last, to a spindle.
maker of the name of Michael Ward, and another man ; and ra
Sunday night, the 2d inst., it again appeared to a labouring rn.r.a
of the name of James Tuite, who had courage enough to a.
terrogate it secunduni artent, when the spirit informed .1
ry
amongst other things, that he was not really dead when irt.
terred, when only in a trance, and that it was not with cholera
he had been affected, but spasms in the stomach, or ordinary
bowel complaint. He mentioned several trifling debts, he
owed in his life-time, particularising one to a small leathetu
cutter of the name of Owen Reilly, commonly called Master
Owen, which debt was known only to the latter and the de.
ceased. The spirit ordered the windows and a quantity of
turf which was in an apartment called " the room " of the
house he had occupied in his life-time, situate in the Chapel.
lane, Kingscourt, to be removed thereform, which was accord*
ingly done. He then gave directions. that his remains, which
are deposited in the chapel-yard of Kingscourt, should be dis.
interred, and carried to his family burial-place at Castleblaney.
This request was not, however, complied with, nor insisted
upon. Tuite states that he had interviews with Slevin's ghost
on the Monday night, Wednesday night, and Friday night fol-
lowing, when a large concourse of persons anxious to gratify
their intense curiosity attended, but were disappointed, as the
spirit neither appeared to nor was heard by any person save
Tuite. The places of assignation were Slevin's house, and
his grave in the chapel-yard.—Drogheda Journal.
