and to fill the vacancy which Mr. Throckmorton's determination
will occasion, yet, as the country returns three Members, Messrs.
Palmer and Pusey (both back-bone Tories) will walk over the
course, if no gentleman of known respectability, and decidedly li-
beral principles, should offer himself to the notice of the electors ;
for it cannot for a moment be supposed, that after the ratting of
the Times, and the conduct of Mr. Walter, he has the slightest
shadow of a chance of being again returned-: his late constituents
he has deserted, and the Tories will not adopt the renegade !
BOSTON.-Major Handley, a Liberal, and Mr. Brownrigg, a
Tory, have been canvassing during the last week. Mr. Wilke,
the other Liberal member, has addressed the electors by letter.
There is little doubt of the return of the two Liberals.

BILIGHTON, DEc. 3l.—The Tories are indefatigable in their
exertions, in order to secure the return of their idol, Sir A. Dal-
rymple, for this borough. Mr. Wigney is daily gaining ground.
The return of this gentleman is placed beyond a doubt ; he is sup-
ported by the Dissenters. Mr. Faithful has not done himself good
by quarrelling with Mr. Wigney ; the friends of the latter gentle-
man are determined to support him, but, owing to the split, each
candidate will now come forward on his own 'twits. Captain
Pechell did not attend the meeting at the Town-hall, in conse-
quence of his late accident.
BANBURY.-Mr. Lloyd Williams, of Birmingham, has an-
nounced himself a candidate for Banbury, in opposition to the sit-
ting member, Mr. Tancred, and has been pursuing an active
canvas in that town during the last few days. The latter gentle-
man is also on the alert among his constituents.
Buors.—For this county there are three candidates, all Tories,
viz., the Marquis of Chandos (the old Member), aid' Sir John
Chetwode and Sir Wm. Young, two new ones.
BUCKINGIIAMSHIRE.—Mr. Dashwood's canvas is going on most
prosperously. Another Liberal candidate, of considerable weight
and influence, has been named, and is expected to take the field.
CUPAR Btrac Hs.—A pretty keen canvas has been going on here
during this week, for the rival candidates for the representaticn of
this district of burghs, Mr. Keith Douglas and Mr. Andrew John-
ston.— Fifeshire Journal.
_ _ _

CARDIGAN.—No contest. The present Member, Pryse Pryse,
Esq., a liberal Whig, will be elected w;thout opposition.
_ _ _

CAranGANsHinE.—No contest. The present Member, Col.
Powell, a Tory, will be returned without opposition.
CA ItMARTHENSIIIRE.--The present Member, E. H. Adams,
Esq., has resigned, it is supposed in consequence of bad health.
There are three candidates in the field—the Hon. Arthur Trevor,
son of Lord Dynevor, and a i!jr. John Jones, both standing on
Tory principles ; and Sir James Hamlyn Williams, a brother-in-
law of Lord Ebrington, in the liberal interest. The Baronet's re-
turn is certain.

CA ItMARTHEN.--A stiff contest is likely to take place. The
candidates are the present Member, the Hon. W. H. Yelverton,
and a Mr. Lewis, residing near Llanelly—a stranger to this bo-
rough, brought forward by the Tories as a forlorn hope. Mr.
Yelverton is a known and tried Reformer, and his friends are cer-
tain of his return.

CHELTENHAM.-This morning the Hon. C. F. Berkeley com-
menced a second active canvass of the electors, attended by several
gentlemen of his Committee, and his reception is such that no rea-
sonable doubt can be entertained of his success, even in the event of
a Conservative opposition ; but up to the period of our going to
press, no candidate has offered himself in that interest. The only
candidate besides our late member is Wm. Penn Gaskell, Esq.,
Who comes forward in the Radical interest. This day (Wednesday)
between two and three o'clock, the Returning Officer for this bo-
rough, E. L. Newman, Esq., attended by Mr. George Russell,
H
• Hign Constable, proceeded to make proclamation of the ensuing
election at the Market-house, in the High-street and at other places.
The day of election was proclaimed for Tuesday next, Jan. 6th, at
Barnett's Riding School.
CRICKLADE.-There are three candidates in the field for the
honour of representing this borough—the present members,
R. Gordon and Thos. Caney, Esqrs., both reformers, and the
former a most indefatigable man of business, and Mr. Neeld, bro-
ther of the member for Chippenham.

DOVER.-The retirement of Mr. Halcomb favours the liberal
candidate, Mr. Rice. His return, with Sir J. R. Reid or Mr.
Fector, is anticipated.

DunLys t Crry. )—Mr. Sidney Herbert and Mr. West will, it
is said, be presented to the constituency of this city against the sit-

ing members.

DUMBARTONSHIRE.-Mr. Colquhoun, of Killermont, has re-
signed in consequence of the state of his health, and Sir J. Colqu-
houn and Alex. Smollett, Esq., of Bonhill, arc about to start as
candidates.

DUNDALIC.-Lord Jocelyn will stand for the borough of Dun-
dalk, where his father, the Earl of Roden has heen for some time
strengthening his interest.—Drogheda Journal.

DuaHAIIZ CITY ). —Mr. Granger, the barrister, a known
thorough Reformer of talent, intends to offer himself to the elec-
tors as a candidate to represent this city in Parliament, as the suc-
cessor of Mr. Chaytor, who retires.
DURHAM ( NQRTH). —lt is now currently reported that (con-
trary to general expectation,) there will be a contest for the repre-
sentation of the northern division of the county of Durham. Mr.
Braddyll, the Conservative, who made a similar attempt at the last
election, is the gentleman mentioned as likely to come for Ward in
opposition to Sir Hedworth Williamson and Mr. Hedworth
Lamhton.

DERBY (Borough).—The Hon. Mr. Curzon, son of Lord Scars-
dale, has declared himself in the Tory interest, in opposition to
Mr. Strutt and the Hon. Mr. Ponsonby. The Tory is supposed
to have no chance.

DERBYSHIRE (South.)—The two Tories, Sir George Crewe
and Sir Roger Gresley, are boasting that they will have the sup-
port of Sir Francis Burdett; this, of course, cannot be the case.
but all doubt on the matter should be explained at once. The
electors of Westminster have a right to know the real facts of the
case.

DEVONPORT.-Sir Edward Codrington and Sir George Grey
are prosecuting their operations with the utmost vigour, and with
the most decided success. The Hon. Secretary to the Admiralty,
who has hung out the flag of his masters from the window of the
hotel at which be is stopping, is also attempting to " do business;"
but with the exception of those who expect him to do wonders—
that is, keep the whole of his electioneering promises—is rather in
the " small way."

GREEN ocK.—Captain Houston Stewart has started for this town
'm opposition to Mr. Wallace.

HAVER FORDWEST..--ThiS will be contested. Mr. E. H. Peel,
a cousin of the Premier, professing to be a Conservative, but at the
same time pledging himself to support ultra-Radical principles !
The other candidate is a Mr. Scourfield, supposed to be a Tory, yet
professedly a Whig. The present Member, Sir Richard Phillips,
has resigned.
Marjoribanks is safe.
IsLE or WiouT.—The supporters of Mr. Ward are the out-
and-out Tory set—the fatteners on corruption and sinecures.

KENT, EAST.—We regret to say that the Hon. Richard Watson
declines to stand as a candidate. The staunch Reformers and the
Dissenters much lament this, as Mr. Plumptre is opposed to
Church reform, and a very questionable friend of civil liberty.
KwitnEsaoaouGH.—The contest here is carried on with great
spirit. The candidates are Mr. Lawson, an Ultra Tory ; Mr.
Richards, the late member ; and Mr. Rich, an unsuccessful candi-
date at the former election. Mr. Rich is the most popular of the
three, but the Tory has extensive local connections, which give him
a great advantage.
KNARESSOROUGH, WEDNESDAY NlGHT.—Three of the candi-
dates--Richards, Rich, and Lewin—are very busily engaged in
addressing the electors daily at the several inns. Mr. Lawson, a
candidate in the Tory interest, has not yet attempted an address.
Sir G. Lewin has not even the shadow of a chance : he is also a
Tory.
KILICENNY.—Mr. Finn has met with the best possible recep-
tion. Major Bryan is losing ground every day.—Waterford
Chronicle.

LEICESTER (BoßoucH).—After miles of expensive travail, on
the part of senior Aldermen and Town Clerk—after days and days
of lingering and painful travail, the throes and agonies of parturi-
tion are happily terminated. The ultra-Tory Corporation of Lei-
cester, the very pet of Sir Robert Peel, and the Conservative (lub
of the said borough, are at length relieved from the burden of six
weeks gestation, and have jointly brought forth a couple of chop-
ping candidates, par nobile fratruni, in Serjeant Goulburn, Re-
corder of the borough, and brother of the Home Secretary, and
Gladstone, Esq., junior Lord of the new Treasury Board, and
the hopeful son of the back-bone of Liverpool. Nothing can
exceed the extravagant transports of the local faction at this aus-
picious event.
LENF.sTEn (Boßoucii).—The late Members have made a most
successful canvas, and are sure of their re-election.
LElczsmasmitE, NORTH.—Mr. hialford's friends, the Tories,
talk loudly of his chance of success; but Mr. Dawson has been
making great exertions; and it is the opinion of the best-informed
persons here, that lie will retain his seat.
Ll:omnisrEn..—Mr. Hogg (who is now said to be canvassing
Beverley on Conservative principles) retired from the contest here
early in last week. The respective friends of Lord Hotham and Mr.
Bish consider their election certain, and each party aro now resting
on their oars.

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY EVENING.—Mr. Morris meets his friends
in Clayton-square to-morrow at noon, where a public meeting is
advertised. On Thursday, the other Liberal candidate, Mr. Evart,
will address a public meeting of his supporters from the balcony of
the Adel phi. On the same day, public meetings of the respective
friends of Lord Sandon and Sir Howard Douglas will take place.
All parties, of course, speak confidently of success.

MoNTaosl (DtsTaiur).—The Hon. Charles Augustus Mur-
ray, son of the Earl of Dunmore, will come forward on the Liberal
interest,

NAIRN, ORKNEY, AND SHETLAND.—Mr. Trail, a Reformer,
will be re-elected here.

NOTTINGHAM (BOROUGH).—NO opposition to the late mem-
bers is yet talked of here. Lord Duncannon and Sir John Hob-
house are considered perfectly safe.
I'Emiluok:EsitiaE.—No contest. Sir John Owen is a Tory, but,
when elected, pledged himself to support the Whig Administration.
PEMEEOKE.—No contest. Colonel Owen, son of the above, and
similarly pledged. This gentleman and his father have liAlorto
absented themselves from their Parliamentary duties the greater
part of the session.
PLYMOUTH.—The Committees of the Reform candidates of this
place have:finished their respective canv:lsses, and both Messrs. Col-
lier and Bewes, in returning thanks to the electors, state that they
have no doubt of the result of the approaching election, being con-
fident of being returned.
RoxanamtsmitE.—The Hon. Captain Elliott has been every-
where received with the most flattering assurLncea of support
against any opposition. Lord John Scott is again spoken of as a
probable candidate. Captain Elliott beat him before by nearly
100 voters.
SANDWICH.—Mr. Marryat has withdrawn. Sir T. Trowbridge
is in high favour. It is uncertain whether Grove Price or Sir Ed-
ward Owen will be the second member.
STRADFORD, DEC. 30.—Mr. Blount, the unsuccessful candi-
date at the late election, has just arrived, with Sheridan, Esq.
(son of the late Tom Sheridan of convivial memory, and grandson
of the celebrated R. B. Sheridan. An attempt will be made to
revive old friendships ; but the opinion of the hest friends of the
family is, that it is too late, nearly all the more respectable votes
being promised. From the character of Mr. Blount, thew e can be
little .doubt that this scion of the Sheridan stock Is a thorough
Reformer.
STAFrotsn (NcIITH).-111r. Watts Russell, the Tory, has given
irir) here, after vainly soliciting some brother Anti-Reformer to join
inra against the late members.
SOUTH SH;Er.ns,—We understand Captain Boss, M. P. for
Northallerton, has been invited to become a candidate for the
borough of South Shields.—Durham Chronicle.
STitOUD.—Colonel Fox has declared himself a candidate for the
representation of this borough. He addressed the electors on Wed-
nesday, and was very favourably received. The Colonel is a near
relative of that great man, the late Charles James Fox, and son of
Lord Holland ; and his politica are about those of the recent Whig
