CARRICKFERGUS (BOROUGH).
The Northern Whig is given to understand that
Mr. Robert Torrens, son of the late Venerable
Archdeacon Torrens, and nephew of the late Judge
Torrens, is about to come forward as a candidate
for the representation of the borough of Carrick-
fergus. Mr. Torrens is a Liberal Conservative, and
it is probable, will encounter no opposition in the
borough, as it is understood that he will have on
his side the Downshire interest, which is sufficiently
strong to render opposition nearly hopeless.

CASHEL (BOROUGH).
Mr. Henry George Hughes, ex-Solicitor-General
has issued his address to the electors. He has ob-
tained the assent and co-operation of the Roman
Catholic Dean and clergy of the parish. Mr. John
Lanagan has formally resigned, and Mr. Vincent
Scully and Mr. Hempbill still remain in the field ;
but Mr. Scully, it is thought, will not divide the
Liberal interest, •finding that the clergy are in
favour of Mr. Hughes. Besides, Mr. Scully is in
the field for Cork county, where his prospects of
success are said to be encouraging.

CLARE (COUNTY).
Archdeacon Fitzgerald, parish priest of Rath-
keale, in the county of Limerick, and who is said
to possess great influence in the south, has pro-
ceeded to Clare to resist the return of one of the
candidates—it is to be presumed Col. Vandeleur is
the party indicated. Mr. T. Rice Henn having
gratified his ambition by the publication of a some.
what pretentious address, has suddenly waved his
claims in order, he thinks, the better to insure the
return of Col. Vandeleur by a non-division of the
Conservative interest.

DUBLIN (CITY).
The Freeman's Journal says that two Roman
Catholic gentlemen were freely spoken of on Tues-
day as likely to offer themselves to the city on
Liberal principles, and it was generally rumoured
that the addresses of both of the new aspirants to
public honours would appear in the course of the
day. The Freeman adds :

" It is hardly necessary to add that under the peculiar
circumstances of the city no gentleman of the Liberal party
could think of addressing the city without first submitting
his claims to a public meeting; and from what we know of
the two gentlemen who have been named, they have too
much good taste to commit such an offence, and too much
discretion to fall into such an error. It is said that a meet-
ing of the artisans and working classes will be held on
Easter Monday, to give an impetus to the popular move-
ment in the city. Mr. Brady has taken committee. rooms
in Dame-street."

ENNISKILLEN (BOROUGH).
Mr. Paul Dane is again about to break a lance
with the Hon. Mr. Cole, the sitting member, and
thus, if possible, to break down the influence of the
house of Enniskillen. It is quite needless to remark
that both candidates are True Blues of the 1688
brand.

constituents,
his claims upon his confidence in. Galway as the
second steam port of the empire. His address, which
appears in the local papers, is very brief and to his
point. Lord Dunkellin is already actively canvass-
ing the town, add it is said with great success. The
third candidate is Col. French, who seems in his
address to be trying to supplant Mr. Lever. There
is no foundation in the rumour that Mr. Howard,
of Manchester, is an intending candidate.

GALWAY (COUNTY).
Mr. Gregory, Sir Thomas Burke, and Lord Dunlo
are busily engaged in their canvass. Private letters
state that the first-named is safe to win. The
Roman Catholic bishop (Dr. Derry) is strongly in
his favour.

LIMERICK (COUNTY).
It is stated that the Roman Catholic clergy of
Emly are all unanimously pledged to support Mr.
Synan, one of the Liberal candidates, in conjunction
with Mr. Mousell.

NEWRY (BOROUGH).
A northern paper reports that Major Waring has
retired, and that Mr. Vance, the new law adviser to
the Castle, will come forward as a candidate on the
Conservative interest. This statement requires
confirmation.
