Ho osoY,_ it is expeaed, will be eleaed,
Mr. WATSON, the brother of Lord SONDES; is

At Maidstone, General DE L ANC EY:js certain of
success. Mr. BLoxAm not so secure.
Capt.- MARKHAM; of the Admiralty, and Mr.
,Eesxr-N Es will be returned fOr Portthouth.
• Mr. BYNG will probably be chosen -for Middle.
sex. The -contest Swill be between Mr. MAIN..
`IV-AR ING and SirFRANCIS Bunp ETT. The friends
of the latter have long been secretly canvassing for
him, but the persons who have invited him to stand
do-not appear to be of any weight in the County.—
The Prisoners in Cold-bath Fields are unanimously
with Sir FR ANCIS.

The warmest contest which has yet begun is thit
for Hull.—Mr. S. TuoaNTox will, we believe, be
at the heard of the Poll. We have no conjecture
respeffing the ocher Candidates. A great expend
has already been incurred in conveying Voters from
Londoi.

The Interest of Lord THANET will return both
the Members for Appleby.—They will probably ha
his Brothers.

The contest for Carmarthen:hire is very hardly .
fought.—We rather think Mr. PHILIPS Will lose it,
Great Grimsby is also contested 134' the present
Members, Mr. BOUCHERETY and Mr. MELLISH,
against Colonel LOFT.—This will be run very near.
Berwick will be strongly contested ; but we be-
lieve Mr. FORDYCE and Mr. HALL, will succeed
against Sir JOHN CALLANDER.

Sir. MARK SYKES and Mr.IVIILLs will, we believe,
come in for Blech;ngley.
Mr. DEVAYNES will probably succeed at Barn.
staple ; but whether Mr. CLEVELAND or Mr.
WiLsorr will be highest upon the Poll we have not
yet heard.

The. Eledion lot Leominster takes place on Mon.
day next. The contest will be a warm one.

The Eleetion- for Derby takes place on Monday.
No oppOsition iz expeatd.
The Election for Gi.pperzbanr, is likewise fixed
for" Monday. •
The Election for the County of Warwick is. fixed
for the. tzthinstant. The new Candidate in the
room of Sir Jorm MORtirAtrrir, who retires, is
DIJODALE STRAITORD DVGbAL.E, Esq. of Mere..
vale. ...

The Sherifrof Essex.-ha's fixeLf'the Elettion for
that County for Monday . the 11.2-th inst.; ; and the
Eledion for the Borough: p 1 Mahon, - for Monday
next; • . „..

are a
.great , many ..contested Etedions in.
Ireland. Irish perhaps' feel that it is better
wortlithigglitigfor.the privilege of sending a Re-
presentative to the Imperial, than it -was to the
Irish Parliament.

`l'C are kLid to find that throughout the whole
Empire; the jacobinical interest is universally -
scouted. It will hardly return any Members to
the new Parliament.

We understand, that there was a very great and
unjustifiable opposition to Sir TitomAs. TtitTow's
adinis'sion into the Town-Hail of the Borough.--
The door was locked against him, and every, unfair
attempt was used to prevent his entrance.

Notwithstanding the number Of new Candidates,
there are very few Eleelions likely to he contested
with the Violence and Party-spirit which we have
remembered on former occasions.
A general indignation seems to pervade the whole
County of Middlesex, at the intended nomination
of Sir FRANdIS BURDETT, for one of its Repre-
sentatives. Every possible 'effort is making by a
Jacobin Committee to assemble a Mob of Voters,
of the same description, on the day of nomination.
To this will be opposed the whole mass of Property,
of Worth, and of Public Spiiit in the County, who
will make a point of attending, roused by the
grossest indignity which they ever yet experienced,
in such a Candidate being offered to their notice.
HORNE Tooxi manifestegl ,the unprovokid spleen
which has always been imputed to his nature, by
his recent attack on Mr. Cs itIsTOPHER AT,KINSON,
whose misfortunes might have, been expe.tcd to. have
interested the feelings of. a Christian Divine, and
who has retrieved, his charadier in the minU of all ,
liberal men.

Iris at the request of the Merry ITYves of Wind-
sor, that Mr. RAMSBOTTOM has been induced to
offer himself for that Borough, as the representative
of their husbands.

The Advocates of a certain Baronet are very
aaive in looking out for Votes in the Alley, but
we merely hint,' that he must not depend upon
them, as they apt' to quadd/e on the day of account.
The Pickpockets have, it seems, begun t,. exer•
cise their vocation, as 'Fahtajf calls it, on *i>‘
Thames, and it is not surprising that they should,be
so venturous on the watery elements as they are erlio
