ELECTION NEWS AND RUMOURS.

ARBROATIL—We understand the Hon. Fox Maule was ap-
plied to by a number of electors in Arbroath, to come forward
for that district of burghs, and that he returned an answer de-
clining the honour, but requesting their support to Mr. Chal-
mers. Mr. C. has met with a warm reception both in Mon-
trose and Arbroath, and we have no doubt that a short time
will show Mr. Ross, that neither himself nor his friend need
appear in those burghs as an adherent of the Duke. Mr.
Mr. Hallyburton addressed the county electors yesterday
(Thursday) at Kirriemuir. Sir James Carnegie opposes him.
—Caledonian Mercury.

ABERDEENSIIIRE.—The reports which have been very gene-
rally circulated, that Colonel Leith Hay is to be a candidate
.for the representation of the county of Aberdeen, in the event
of a dissolution of Parliament, are entirely without foundation.
Colonel Leith Hay will continue to represent the Elgin dis-
trict of burghs.
BERWICK-UPON-TWEED.—The Reformers of Berwick have
resolved to. re-elect Sir Francis Blake free of expense, and
have entered into a liberal subscription for that purpose. We
hope other towns will follow this good example. The friends
of Sir Rufane Donkin are also on the alert. Colonel Beres-
ford declines coming forward on the Tory interest.

CHATHAM.—We printed yesterday, by mistake, the name of
Captain Elliot instead of that of Captain Byng, as the present
member for Chatham. The latter gentleman comes forward
again.
•

DROITWICH.—A Conservative opposition to Mr. Foley is
commenced, without, however, the slightest chance of success,
in the person of Mr. J. Barneby, of Brockhamton, near
Bromyard.
DVItIIAM SOUTH).—The Duke of Wellington is in very bad
odour in this part of the country. The liberal electors are be-
stirring themselves, and we understand that steps are already
taken for calling into the field again, in the event of a dissolu-
tion, Joseph Pease, Esq., and John Bowes, Esq. Both of
these gentlemen are tried Reformers of a very liberal cast, and
are deservedly popular among their constituents. At a meeting
held at the Fleece Inn, Darlington, on Thursday last, it was
stated to be Mr. Pease's intention again to offer himself.
EAST LOTHIAN.—Mr. Fergusson, of Raith, has agreed to
stand for East Lothian, in which he possesses a very large
estate, and we learn that no doubt is entertained of his suc-
cess. This will leave his present seat open to a Liberal can-
didate. Too much praise cannot be bestowed on Mr. Fer-
gusson for the spirited example set by him.

HALIFAX.-Mr. Protheroe, late M. P. for Bristol, is in the
field here. A public meeting was held on Saturday, Jonathan
Akroyd, Esq., in the chair, which Mr. P. attended, and de-
clired his political sentiments in favour of reform in every
shape—the Ballot, short Parliaments, the Pension List, &c.
Mr. Protheroe was listened to with great approbation; and
the meeting, though it comprised Reformers who differed in
various particulars, displayed perfect unanimity. Mr. Briggs,
one of the present members, is to retire in the event of a dia.
solution : and Mr. J. S. Wortley, unsuccessful at the last
election, is to be brought forward by the Conservatives. The
return of Mr. Protheroe and of Mr. Wood, one of the present
members, is considered certain.

HADDINGYON COUNTY.-Mr. Balfour, the late Tory Mem-
ber, has resigned, and Mr. John Thomas Hope has announced
himself a candidate. The latter does not say one word about
his principles, but these are pretty well known. He is the
son of Sir Alexander Hope, Member for West Lothian, and is
the same person who received a dinner from the Manchester
Tories, when he was sent down by Sir Robert Peel, and de-
feated in his attempt to oppose Mr. Poulett Thomson. He
is exactly such a man as the inveterate friends of misrule wish
to have in, and the people to keep out. We hope the spirit
of John Knox yet survives in his native county, and that it will
find a more worthy representative than this scion of the Tory
aristocracy. --Scotsman.

INVERNESS (County).—Macleod, of Macleod, has already
taken the field against the Right Hon. Charles Grant.
LYMINGTON, DEC. 3.—Sir H. Neale has just announced
his intention of retiring from the representation of this bo-
rough. Two candidates are already in the field. Mr. W. A.
Mackinnon, of Tory notoriety, and Mr. Scott, a Reformer,
who has recently gone to reside at Lymington. There is still
a most auspicious opening here for a gentleman of talent and
liberal principles. We hope such an one will present himself.
MARYLEBONE.-Mr. Charles Rawle, a gentleman well
known for his liberal principles, has intimated to the Radicals
of St. Marylebone, that should Mr. Murphy not offer himself
as a candidate at the ensuing election, he will do so.

NOTTINGHAM.—An address is in the course of signature,
among the electors there, to Sir John Cam Hobhouse, Bart.,
expressing their approbation of his conduct in declining the in-
vitation of the electors of Westminster, which is already repre-
sented by two Reformprs, and inviting him to offer himself
apin,

NORTIIIIIII3tRLAND.—Mr. Beaumont has announced himself
for the Southern Division, and Lord Howick has addressed
the electors of the Northern Division, declaring' his determi-
nation to come forward again. The following is an extract
from his Lordshipts address :—" In the constitution of the
House of Vommons, I will frankly avow to yell 014 I am u
prepared to suptiort any further changes. 13'y the Reform Act
the reresentative system has been rut urn a footinq whichi

if not absolutely perfect, seems to me calculated to produce
all the practical good which we have a right to expect from it.
The people have now an effectual controul over their repre-
sentatives, and through them over the Government of the
country; and it appears to me, therefore, to be our duty, in-
stead of aiming at further alterations in the constitution of the
Legislature, to apply ourselves to the consideration of the
means by which an improved system of government may be
made to produce the greatest amount of public advantage."

PERTHSHIRE.—We are happy to learn that there is reason
to expect that the Hon. Fox Maule, Lord Panmure's eldest
son, will come forward for the representation of the county of
Perth, with great prospect of success.
SURRE/ (WEST).—We are happy to hear that Mr. Hankey,
of Feteham, a gentleman of liberal and enlightened principles,
is already in the field for this county, against the Tory can-
didate Mr. Scarlett.

WHlTBY.—Whitby is at this time in all the turmoil of a
contested election. Captain C. B. Phipps, brother to the
Earl of Mulgrave, has come forward on the liberal side, and
addressed the electors, on Friday last, in a speech of great abi-
lity. Mr. Chapman, a Tory, the present member, is the other
candidate, and has likewise addressed the electors.

TRANSLATION OF THE CONCESSIONS GRANTED TO THE ENG-
LISH EPISCOPAAL CONGREGATION OF HAMBURGH.

1. The persons belonging to the English Episcopal congre-
gation at present residing, or who may hereafter come to re-
side, in our state, have the free exercise of their religion
under our protection according to Article .1 of the regula-
tions of October 20, 1834.

2. They have the liberty of performing divine service in a
proper building within the city, and are authorised to build
and arrange at their own expense a suitable edifice for that
purpose upon a spot to be approved of and assigned to them
on the Zenghaumarkt. The plan itself, with the estimates,
to be previously given in to the Deputation for the Ecclesias-
tical Affairs of the Christian non• Lutheran Community for the
purpose of obtaining our approval.
3. It is entirely left to the members of the Episcopal Con-
gregation, in regard to all cases and disputes which may by
any chance happen among them concerning. points of religion
and doctrine, to apply the proper Ecclesiastical authorities
for decision according to the precepts or rules of their church,
but in all other and similar cases having a reference to this
license the decision is to be left to the constitutional autho-
rities of this city, and in case of the incompetency of the ju-
dicial police authorities, then the existing Deputation for the
Ecclesiastical or Christian non-Lutheran Community is to de-
cide, from whose decision they are at liberty to appeal to our
extra-judicial decision only, and not to resort to any Court of
Justice or any other legal remedy.
4. The Chaplains or any other Clergyman of the English
Episcopal Church, being appointed according to the laws and
regulations of their own country, are to be presented by the
directors or wardens of the congregation to the above-men-
tioned Deputation, in order to obtain our sanction for the exer-
cise of their office. The directors or wardens must also give
notice to the Deputation of the election of school-masters, or-
ganists, and other servants of the church.

- 5. The Clergymen of the English Episcopal Church are to
conduct themselves peaceably and quietly in their ministry in
this place ; to refrain from all controversies and offensive ex-
pressions against the evangelical Lutheran religion; to treat
the ministry of this place with love and respect ; and to claim
no menstrual rights.
6. All the before-mentioned persons, Clergymen, school-
masters, and other servants of the Church, are like all other
such persons of other confessions, by virtue of the ecclesias-
tical jurisdiction and diocese right belonging to us in our ter-
ritory, subject to our jurisdiction alone. As regards, however,
decisions on their creed and their doctrines, Article 3 remains
in force. They must become bound to the city, pay those
taxes to which the members of the ministry here and the ser-
vants of the city churches are liable. Those servants of the
Church who carry on trade in the city are obliged to become ci-
tizens, and like all other citizens liable to pay contributions.
7. The usual and extraordinary festivals appointed for our
States are also to be celebrated in the church of the English
Episcopal eongregation, as far as the celebration is not con-
trary to their religious principles. All orders and notifications
to be published in the city churches not relating to the con-
science and religion, if required by us, must also be proclaimed
in the English Episcopal Church. The prayers for us, the
burgesses, and for the whole State are to be arranged accord-
ing to the prayers appointed in the city churches.
8. The extraordinary collections to be ordered by us in the
city churches for particular objects are also to be appointed in
the church of the English Episcopal congregation, and the
money collected to be paid to the before-mentioned Deputa-
tion by the appointment of ordinary collections for charitable
purposes during their divine service, as also the proper distri-
bution and application of the same are left solely to their di-
rectors and warders.

9. All publications of the banns of marriage, without ex-
ception, must be made in the city churches and in the church
of the parish where the bride, on account of her residence, is
settled. Should the bride be living abroad, then the banns
must be published in the church of the parish where the bride-
groom resides. But the members of the English Episcopal
congregation are at liberty besides that to have the banns pub-
lished in their church. If one of the parties should belong to
the Evangelical Lutheran Church, then the marriage must be
performed by a Lutheran Clergyman of the church where the
banns were published. If both parties are respectively at-
tached to another religion they are at liberty to have the cere-
mony performed by their Clergymen ; but in any case of a
marriage intended to be celebrated here the license must be
applied for at the wedde, and the regular fees paid, the same
as are generally paid by the Lutheran inhabitants.
10. In regard to christenings the parents are at liberty to
have their children christened by a Lutheran Clergyman of the
parish where they reside, or by their own Clergyman. In the
first case they are to be registered in the register of christen-
ings of the parish where the parents reside, but the parents are
at liberty, however, even when the children have been chris-
tened by the Clergyman of the English Episcopal congrega-
tion, to have them registered in the church books of the parish.
11. The Clergymen of the English Episcopal congrega-
tion have to keep a faithful register in their church books of
their christenings and marriages, according to their official
duties, and in this respect they must observe the existing re-
gulations, and such as in future may be made. In particular,
they are referred to those made by decree of the Senate and
citizens of the 16th of Novemeer, 1815, and published on the
30th of the same month, concerning the registering of births,
marriages, and deaths.

12. In all cases where the members of the English Epis-
copal congregation are obliged to or voluntarily call in the
Lutheran Clergyman to perform their office according to ar-
ticles 7 and 8 the usual fees are to be paid to them, as also
the lawful fees of the Church officials entitled to demand the
same. However, persons in good circumstances are at liberty
to give more.
13. The members of the English Episcopal congregation
are at liberty to choose their churchwardens from among
themselves, and are also authorised to choose and appoint their
directors, under the name of a Committee for the Affairs of
the Congregation. Notice of the election must each time be
given to the Deputation for the Ecclesiastical Affairs of the
Christian non-Lutheran Community. _ _

The churchwardens or other persons of the congregation re.
gularly authorised, have, without prejudice to our chief autho-
rity, the superintendence over the Church, the distribution of
the alms collected and ordinary collections, the management
of the common property and capital, and they shall certainly
be protected by us in their offices ; but they must not pret,id
to or claim any further privileges, particularly those
with the ecclesiastical jurisdiction, which -connected
nave reserved to
ourselves alone.

We besides reserve to ourselves an eventful constitutional
alteration of this fervice at our discretion, according to time
and circumtances.

In virtue thereof, we have caused one of our secretaries to
subscribe this concession, and to affix to it our official seal.
Done at Hamburg, Jan. 17, 1834.
Ex Speciale Commissione Amplissima Senatus Hambur-
gensis, (Signed) EDWARD BANKS, Dr.
L. S. Republic Hamburgensis Secretarius Subscripse.

It cannot be too much impressed on all classes of
liberals, that they ought to merge their differences, and think
only of combating most effectually the common enemy. We
understand that Mr. Henry Hobhouse means to follow the
advice given to him by his brother Sir John Hobhouse. An
example has been set by William Empson, Esq., which we
trust will be generally followed under similar circumstances.
An address had been sent to him from a number of the
electors of Lincoln, inviting him to stand for the representation
of that city. Mr. Empson expressed himself highly flattered
by the invitation, but stated that his opinions coincided with
those of Mr. Heneage ; and although in some points he dif-
fered with Mr. Bulwer, the other member, still he agreed with
him in so many, that he could think of opposing him at a time
when the closest union among the friends of Reform was
essential to the best interests of the country. In no case
ought a liberal to displace a roved liberal. The rallying
point ought to be uncompromising opposition to the treache-
rous resumption of power by Wellington and his associates._

THE TEA TRADE.—The East India Company's
sale is still proceeding heavily, Congous fetching full one
penny per lb. lower than last sale. Up to the close of busi-
ness at the India House yesterday, about 45,000 chests had
passed the sale. The Postboy has arrived from the Cape of
Good Hope with a cargo of teas under rather peculiar circum-
stances. The vessel, which is a small one, reached the Cape
from America on the 7th of September, laden with tea, which,
it is stated, she landed, and, having reshipped her cargo, sailed
for the port of London on the 17th of the same month, and ar-
rived in the river a few days since, and the teas brought in her
have been entered for home consumption. The cargo of the
Postboy is as follows :---.920 chests of Bohea in Congou pack-
ages, 197 chests of Caper, 130 chests of Hyson, 86 chests of
Gunpowder, and 90 chests of young Hyson, making a total of
1,623 chests and boxes. The arrival of the Pyramus has not
yet been announced.
