ELECTION MATTERS.

LAMBETH REVISING BARRISTERS' COURT.—On Satur
day Messrs. Reynolds and Espinasse, the R,vising Barris-
ters for the borough of Lambeth, got through the entire
lists of voters in the various parishes and districts, and
signed them.

HIGH WYCOMBE —Wednesday the electors of this place
gave a dinner to the Hon. Col. Grey, one of our repre-
sentatives. Among the company present were Sir R. G.
Russell, Bart., M.P. ; G. H. Dashwood, Esq. ; J. Thel-
wall, Esq. ; Dr. Mitford ; Thomas Edwards, Esq. ; C.
Veuables, Esq. ; R. Lucas, Esq. ; T. B. Hobhouse, Esq.,
&c. One hundred and eighty sat down to dinner, and the
greatest possible enthusiasm prevailed. Not the slightest
doubt is entertained of the re-election of the Hon. and
Gallant Member.—Bucks Gazette.

Mr. Ridley Colborne is a candidate for the borough of
Wells. Mr. Ogilvie, of Mortimer-street, an officer of the
Peninsular Army, who had been canvassing the borough,
has, it is said, resigned in that gentleman's favour.
BOROUGH OF PONTEFRACT. —The Hon. H. V. S. Jer-
ningham has issued an address to the electors of Pontefract
and the adjacent district, offering himself as a candidate
for the honour of representing them in the first reformed
Parliament. There appears to be an almost universal
feeling in his favour. The agents of the Earl of Mex..
borough, and those of T. Houldswortb, Esq., are very
busy electioneering, but no address has yet appeared from
either of them.

Yoitx.—The Hon. Edward Petre, the Hon. Thomas
Dundas, and J, H. Lowther, Esq., are all busy canvassing
the York freemen; and Mr. Bayntun was expected there
on 011tntioy.
WEST RIDING VOTERS.--The number of voters who
have registered for the West Riding election, and whose
names have been delivered to the Clerk of the Peace by the
high constables, amounts to 18,200. There have been
only 182 objections altogether; 86 of which were at
Pudsey, made by the Blues of Leeds, and 53 at Quick,
made by the Blues of Saddleworth. The Revising Bar-
risters have struck out a few names, and a number of
voters have regisered property in more than one township.
The actual number of persons entitled to vote at the
ensuing election will therefore he from 17,000 to 18,000.
—Leeds Mercury.
BEDFORD.-The Revising Barristers for the county of
Bedford, Charles Austin and Frederick Rose, Esqrs., ter-
urinated their labours on Tuesday last, at Biggleswade.
The candidates are Lord Charles James Fox Russell, Sir
Peter Payne, the present representative, bath on the Whig
interest; and William Stuart, Esq., on the Tory. Sir
Peter is in high spirits, and both himself and his supporters
have the fullest confidence in his being again able triumph-
antly to defeat the Conservatives of the county of Bedford.
No doubt can be entertained, even by the most presump-
tuous of the Tories themselves, of Lord Charles Russell's
being at the head of the poll.
Cantow.—The amount registered to Saturday week
is 810, and of these the liberal party hold an overwhelm-
ing proportion.
ENNlS.—Eighteen hundred registered, about 30 reject-
ed. A large number of claimants appeared, tenants of
O'Gorman Mahon.

NEwaY.—The registration closed on 'Wednesday, after
13 days' sitting from ten till five. The constituency
amounts to 1,017-594 registered by the " Union Club,"
and 423 by the opposite party.—Newry Telegraph.
COUNTY DONEGAL.—The registry is now completed.
Notwithstanding the liberal construction the Barrister put
on the words " beneficial interest," the number will not
exceed 1,500 ; and no county can produce a more respect.
able body of men than the great majority of them are.
The interests in support of the present Members are ma-
terially strengthened.
Coax COUNTS.—Mr. Hyde's addrffs to the county is
a manly, unreserved, and unequivocal declaration of his
opinions on most important matters affecting this country.
Mr. Hyde always was, and continues, a stanch reformer,
and he now proposes to extend reform to the Church, as
well as to the State, to promote retrenchment, and to resist
monopolies. He is opposed to the tithe laws, and for
such a distribution of any tax that may be substituted as
will "set at rest the: present well-founded excitement."
Finally, he is in favour of a provision for the pour ; de-
sirous that the blessings of education should be diffused,
free from sectarian influence, and that a reform of the
Jury laws, as extensive as that of which England has got
the advantage, should be extended to Ireland. A sincerer
gentleman, or one of purer intentions, will not be returned
to the new Parliament.—Corh Reporter.
The number of qualified voters for Brighton are about
1,643.

SHARI. PRACTICE.—At the Leicester Registration, an
attorney, engaged for one of the pirties, met with a very
smart retort from a freeholder, on being questioned as to
his right to the property for which he claimed to vote :
Attorney—Now, Sir, recollect you are upon your oath,
and take care how you answer the question. Freeholder
—I will, if I know how, Sir. Attorney—Pray how
many years is it since you were insolvent? Freeholder—
I almost forget; it is some time since. Attorney—Come,
Sir, no fencing the question. The Court must have an
answer. I again repeat, in what year were your circum-
stances embarrassed ? Freeholder—Really, Sir, I cannot,
for the life of me, state the year just now. Attorney—l
insist on having an answer before you leave the Court. I
again repeat the question—ln what year were you insol-
vent ? Freeholder—Why, then, if you must know it, it
was in the same year, and almost at the same time that
your father was insolvent.

1 he success of WASHINGTON IRVING'S New
Sketch Book, " TheAlhambra"(of which a new and cheaper
edition has just appeared), promises to rival that of any
of his former works. It has been justly observed that
these volumes will be read by all who have a taste for the
wild and pathetic with the greatest interest. The deso-
late, yet grand scenery of Spain, that land of song and
chivalry ; the faded glories of the once-splendid Alham-
bra, sometime the habitation of the mighty potentates of
the earth—the bright-eyed beauties of the land dancing
the graceful bolero to the click of the castanets, are
sketched with a vividity and freshness that enchant the',
soul of the reader, and make him fancy that be walks
othfteen d.satcrroed ground where kings and warriors have so
