ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

TEWKESBURY, Friday.—Mr, Humphrey Brown,
late of the Royal British Bank, has issued an ad-
dress to the electors, expressing his intention of
opposing Mr. Lygon's re•election. He says :
(1 Mr. Lygon has by accepting office identified him-
self with a Government who, within these last few
days only, have unmasked themselves by a denial
that the intelligent industrial classes of our country
are fit to" be entrusted with the elective franchise.
This is an insult to that large body of citizens who
have relied on the professions of those in office who
have over and over again assured them of their
desire to enfranchise them. Your late member, by
his votes, has shown an antiquated intolerance in
all social and political questions ; and in religion a
tendency to encourage all those practices which
are perverting your established religion. This is
an important epoch in the administration of your
affairs, and if you are the friends of progress, which
you profess to be, you cannot do less honestly than
elect men to represent you who will carry out
true liberal principles. In asking you for your
support I may safely say that I served you for ten
years with fidelity. I never gave a vote for party
purposes, nor ever asked a place or favour of any
government. You had my undivided allegiance,
and if I gave offence or disappointment to any one,
it was in doing what I considered my duty. If you
believe that a person who is identified with you in
every way that can offer a security to your interests
is preferable to a man that was hardly known by name
to you until he was used as a political instrument, then
I feel confident that you will withhold your votes
from Mr. Lygon, and elect me to fill his place."
Mr. Brown has been actively canvassing the town,
and speaks very confidently of success. Should it
come to a poll, it will take place on Tuesday. Mr.
Cox, who was rumoured as likely to oppose Mr.
Lygon, has announced that he withdraws his
claims until the general election, as on general
grounds he is a supporter of the present Adminis-
tration.

NORTH NORTHUMBERLAND.—Lord Lovaine, the
new vice-president of the Board of Trade, has
issued an address to his constituents.
