DEVONSHIRE ELECTION.

ELECTION FOR THE SOUTHERN DIVISION.
Plymouth, Tuesday Evening, April 21.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
This afternoon a placard made its appearance on the
walls of our town, bearing the name of George W. Seltan,
'• Esq., the Chairman of Lord John Russell's Plymouth Dis-
trict Committee, announcing that the Committee, having
nearly completed their labours, congratulated the electors on
the result of their labours, and that, from the fact of a con-
siderb.ble number of voters, who at the last election were in
favour of their opponents, having now decided to support
Lord John Russell, together with the strong feeling which
prevailed throughout the county, to prefer a Government
that shall'insure just and liberal measures to one whose
sole object is to perpetuate a system of misrule and injus-
tice, the Committee are convinced that their exertions
will be crowned with success. This morning information
reached us from Exeter that the day of nomination is fixed
to take place next Friday week, the 1 st.of May, and the
election on the Monday following, being the 4th of May.
This being so, the friends of the respective candidates
have to-day been exceedingly active. To-day Mr. Parker,
the Tory candidate,. issued a second Address to the Elec-
tors, assuring them of his intention to offer himself as a
candidate at the ensuing election, and that he should de-
vote the short time that has to elapse, previous to the day
of election, to paying his personal respects to them. To-
morrow, we understand, Mr. Parker is to be at Kings-
bridge, to harangue the electors. Lord John Russell,
however, has a decided majority of the electors resident
there and in the neighbourhood in his favour.
Lord Seymour, one of the Members of Parliament for
Totnes, is, we are informed, at this moment in the county
using all his exertions in favour of Lord John. Jasper
Parrott, Esq., the other member for Totnes, is also there
doing the same thing. J. C. Bulteel, Esq., of Lyneham,
near this place (Plymouth), formerly M.P. for this division
of the county, is favourable to Lord John's interest and will
render him his support. The Earl of Morley, too, we un-
derstand, will aid Lord John Russell as far as he can. At
Tavistock, Modbury and Okehamptom we are informed
from good authority that his. Lordship has a majority in
his favour. Lord Viscount Ebrington, the M.P. for the
northern division of this county, is now at Exeter, further-
ing the interests of Lord John. He intends being at New-
ton Abbott to-morrow, at this place (Plymouth) on Thurs-
day, at Tavistock on Friday, and at Okehampton on Sa-
turday next. His Lordship, it is expected, will address the
electors on these several occasions.

Despite recent occurrences, Mr. Dawson, the unsuccessful
candidate at the last election for Devonport and Stone-
house, intends dining with his friends at the Town Hall,
Devonport, on Friday, next, the 24th inst. It is reported
this evening that Mr. Parker, the Tory candidate for the
southern division of Devonshire, intends being present on
the occasion.
