ELECTION MOVEMENTS.

MALMOURY.—After ages of corruption, this borough will,
at the next election, return Viscount Andover, the sou of
the noble and patriotic Earl of Suffolk.
CTIIPPENTIAM —This borough presents a most miserable
spectacle of political degradation. The inheritor of old Bun-
dle's immense wealth is here politically omnipotent. Mr.
Joscph Neeld, by the purchase of a great many houses,
and by the erection of a market-house, has completely de-
stroyed what of independence there remained among the eke-
tors. Mr. Neeld returns himself, and, in addition to this, he
has succeeded in ousting Mr. Talbot, andsecuring the return of
a Captain Boldero.
NORTH WILTSIIIRS.—Mr. Methuen, the justly popular
Member for the Northern Division of the county is secure.
Mr. Walter Long, it is supposed, will be the other Member
in the room (4 Sir John Astley. What his political opinions
are is unknown.

DEVIZES.—This borough will most probably return two
Reformers--Mr. Locke, the sitting Member, and the Hon. P.
Bouverie, brother of Earl Radnor. Mr. Boliverie has been
invited by the Liberals, and is strongly supported by the Dis-
senters ; so that there is every chance that the Tory will be
turned adrift.

CALNE--Will return Lord Kerry.
MARLBOROUGH, which is quite as'much under the dictation of
its Tory Marquess as it was previously to the Reform Act, will
of course return such of the Barings, Crokers, &c., as he shall
appoint.

CRICKLADE.--TiliS borough will return its long tried pa-
triotic member, Mr. Robert Gordon ; but it cannot be too
much lamented that Mr. Cally should, solely by his own inat-
tention, have permitted a Tory to succeed to the seat. This
Tory is Mr. John Nceld, a brother to the wealthy inheritor of
Mr. Rundle, of Ludgate-hill.
BIRMINGHAM, DEC. 18. —The Tories here are dreadfully
annoyed at their recent defeat on the question of the Church-
rates. Had they succeeded, it was their intention to have
nominated one, if not two, thorough-paced Tory candidates
for the representation of the borough. Unwilling, however,
to let the expected election pass over without making an
effort, the more indiscreet and daring of their body yesterday
met at Dee's Royal Hotel, and having first formed a Conser-
vative Association; proceeded to get up a requisition to Richard
Spooner, Esq., banker, and partner of Mr. Thomas Attwood,
to allow himself to be put in nomination. In his reply to the
deputation, he says, " Circumstanced as I am with my friend
and partner, Mr. Thomas Attwood, I cannot consent to take
any measures to secure my return. Should it, however, be
the pleasure of the electors to send me to Parliament I will
accept the trust, and steadily and independently support
all measures which shall have for their objects the main-
tenance of the established religion, and the security of
our ancient and valued institutions." In his address to
the electors he says At this eventful crisis I shall feel it
my duty, if: your representative, strenuously to support the
just prerogative of the Crown and the Constitution iu Church
and State, as the best and surest means of preserving the hap-
piness and liberty of the people, being at the same time, and
from the same conviction, equally ready to correct real abuses,
and to resist uncalled-for and dangerous innovations." There
was a time when Mr. Spooner was popular in Birmingham ;
he then professed liberal principles. He has, however, for
many years been gradually losing his popularity and influence.
Noarit WaitwicxsniaB.—As yet we have no one offered in
the Liberal interest to contest this division of the county with
our present Tory member, Mr. Dugdale. A good man
would get in with little trouble.

WoivtrotAmrTo N.—This borough seems likely to maintain
its liberal character. We hear that Mr. Thornely and Mr.
Charles Villiers are almost certain of success.
WEST KENT.—It is said that the Tories mean to start as
their candidate Lord Mahon. His Lordship is a downright
Tory; but Sir William Geary endeavours occasionally to pass
himself off as a neutral. We would have the electors to be
on their guard against his artifices.
HUNTINGDON.—This is very nearly, if not quite, a close bo-
rough in the hands of the Earl of Sandwich, who will exert
his influence in returning the present Members, Colonel Peel
however, announced in the perscn of Captain
ant; Mr. F. Pollock, the new Attorney-Genera. A Reform
who has been promised most active support in the
town.
HALIFAX....—The canvass of the liberal party, Messrs. 'Wood
and Protheroe, has been brought to a most favourable conclu-

here and in the district have been canvassed during the Fast
and prefpnt weekh. both for Lord John Russell and Sir John
Yarde Mil. Nltttl4 it is said, has declined.
YORK.—Mr. Charles F. Barkley reeeived with the
utmost enthusiasm by the Reformers of York.

MAIDSTONE.—On Friday last full seven hundred of the libe-
ral electors of Maidstone assembled in Mr. Heathorn's malt-
houge, to itld 'return otMessrs. Roberts and Barnett,
of which that day was an anniversAty; There is not the
slightest doubt entertained of the return of both the Honotir-
ablp, Members.

W"11 Frankland has retired,- and Mr.

in nomination; and though he is to ho oppoogd by a powerful
Tory opponent, Mr. Charles Barclay, there is not a doubt of
his re-election.

THE NORTH DIVISION OF NORTHUMBERLAND.—The appear-
atide of an gvolved Tory candidate in the field, in the person of
the Hon. H. T. Liddell, has produced a second address from
Lord Howick, which is much more tvorthy of the son of Earl
Grey than its predecessor. Lord Howick in his second ad-
dress says It Is for the electors to decide " whether they will
entrust the momentous questions of church and corporation
reform to the hands of those who have hitherto shown them-
selves the determined enemies of every species of reform."—
Tyne Mercury.
MONTROSE BUROHS.—Mr. Chalmers will be returned with-
out further opposition.
LINLITHOOWSIIIRE.—Mr. J. J. Hope Vere has addressed the
electors, declining to come forward as a candidate for this
county.
BRADFORD.—On Thursday evening, Mr. Hadfield addressed
about two thousand electors of Bradford, in a large warehouse,
in a street at the back of Exchange-street. Mr. H. was most
cordially received, and was repeatedly cheered during the deli-
very of his address. A person from Horton, named Roberts,
put a great many questions to Mr. H., all of which he answered
in the most satisfactory manner; such was the desire to hear
Mr. H., that more people went away than those Who were able
to get admission. Mr. H., to gratify his numerous frienes,
will address them again ; that is, those who were unable to
obtain admittance.—Leeds Times.

Several candidates are spoken of for Greenwich—
Captain Barclay, R.N., who, we believe, once contested
Gloucester, and Mr. S. A. Attwood, son of M. Attwood, Esq.,
M. P. for Whitbaven, arc severally mentioned. It is run soured
also that Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence will offer in ea! re of a
diSSOiati9M—Greotwich Gazette.
