ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

13RECON (BOROUGH).
Yesterday the election of a member for the
borough of Brecon and town of Llywel, in the room
of the late Col. Lloyd Vaughan Watkins, took place
at Brecon. When the vacancy first arose a strong
contest was expected, three candidates having en-
tered the field—viz., the Earl of Brecknock in the
Liberal interest, Mr. Howel Gwyn on the Conser-
vative side, and Dr. Price (all locally connected) as
representing the advanced Liberal party. Both of
the last named, however, having since retired, the
field was left to the Earl of Brecknock alone.
Mr. DE WINTON nominated the Earl of Breck-
nock, and Mr. MORDECAL JONES seconded the
nomination,

No other candidate being proposed, the MAYOR
declared the Earl of Brecknock to be duly elected.

The Earl of BRECKNOCK addressed the electors.
They had elected him to support a Liberal Go-
vernment, and he would make a few remarks on
the policy of the late Lord Palmerston. In spite
of large remissions of taxation, the army and
navy were in a state of great efficiency, and they
had a volunteer force to fall back upon. In spite of
the American war, which had crippled their trade,
the cotton trade was no-,v again flourishing. He was
a Churchman, but considered that the present sys-
tem of church rates worked injuriously to the
Church and on those who dissented. On the subject
of Reform he believed that the Constitution would
be benefited by the admission to the franchise of
those members of the working classes who had
proved themselves to be worthy to exercise it. He
had great confidence in Earl Russell. He believed
that the measure which he intended to bring for-
ward would be such, that while it preserved the
balance of power between classes, it would give the
franchise to a great body of those who were, as he
had said, entitled to exercise it, and that it would
include many who were at present excluded because
they happened to live in lodgings. He thought
every elector should exercise his privilege freely
and openly, and, therefore, was orposed to the
ballot. But he should like to see canvassing
abolished, although he must say that he had
enjoyed his canvass so much that he did not care
how often he had such a duty to perform. He was
afraid, however, that nothing could cure this evil
until it was made illegal to use any influence in in-
ducing electors to vote. On the subject of the
malt-tax, he should like to see the tax reduced and
beer made cheaper for the working man, but six
millions was a large revenue to give up. As to
Jamaica, he recommended that people should sus-
pend their judgment on the conduct of Governor
Eyre until the Commissioners sent over to Jamaica
had made their report. He approved the conduct
of the Government in this matter, and also for what
they had done in relation to the cattle plague. As
to Ireland, he was not prepared to give an opinion
on the question of legislation for that country, but
would give the matter his best attention.

Three cheers were then given for the new member,
for the Mayor, and for members of the noble can-
didate's family, and the proceedings ended.

SUNDERLAND.

The nomination of candidates for the seat vacant
by Mr. Fenwick's appointment to the office of Civil
Lord of the Admiralty took place from hustings
erected in front of the Exchange-building, in High-
street, yesterday.
The candidates were Mr. Henry Fenwick and Mr.
Alderman Candlish, the latter the defeated advanced
Liberal candidate at the general election.
Mr. Fenwiek was unable to attend through ill
health. He was represented by his brother, Mr.
George J. Fenwick, banker, of Newcastle.
Mr. STOBART, coalowner, nominated Mr. Fenwick;
Mr. E. C. ROBSON seconded the nomination. They
were, however, very much interrupted by a very
noisy crowd, and had to address much of their ob-
servations to the reporters.

Mr. R. M. HUDSON, shipowner, nominated Mr.
Alderman Candlish; Mr. A. COMMON, banker, se-
conded the nomination. They were better heard.
Mr. G. J. FENWICK spoke in behalf of his brother.
He said that his brother, who was suffering from the
effects of a protracted contest and canvass, was en-
titled to their sympathy on this occasion. In his
appointment by the Queen to the office he now held
the country showed how it appreciated his services.
He deprecated the opposition got up on this occa-
sion, which had engendered such an amount of ill-
feeling in the borough that it would take years to
heal.

Mr. CANDLISII regretted that Mr. Fenwick was
laid upon a bed of sickness. He, however, had been
ably represented by his brother ; and, after some
further personal explanations, he proceeded to give
an explanation of his political opinions. He was
an earnest advocate of civil and religious liberty.
He would support a large and liberal measure of
Parliamentary reform.

astical endowments, and was also hostile to the
game laws. He was opposed to

The show of hands was in favour of Mr.Candlish.
A poll was demanded for Mr. Fenwick. The con-
test is expected to be very close.

TIVERTON.
On Tuesday the nomination of a candidate in the
room of the late Lord Palmerston took place at
Tiverton in the presence a large crowd.
Mr. AMORY proposed, and Mr. FORD seconded,
the nomination of the Hon. G. Denman.
Mr. DANIEL proposed, and Mr. PRATT seconded,
the nomination of Sir John Hay.
The Hon. G. DENsxAN,►in a long speech, expressed
himself warmlyin favour of a £6 franchise, a lodger
franchise, and a judicious redistribution of seats.
Sir J. HAY also spoke, chiefly in reply to Mr.
Denman.

The MAYOR then called for a show of hands. He
declared, amid loud cheers, the show of hands in
favour of Mr. Denman.

A poll was demanded for Sir J. Hay, which will
take place to-day (Wednesday).
The Liberals are confident of returning their can-
didate.

rADTEwrissmsx'rd Holloway's Pills. Confidential
Advice.—To all persons who suffer from bilious headaches,
disordered stomach, biliousness, or flatulency, these pills
are strongly recommended as the safest, best, and quickest
mode of obtaining ease without weakening or irritating
the nervous system. Holloway's pills are especially useful
in clearing away excess of bile, which usually produces
fever unless remedial measures be adopted without delay.
In asthma, bronchitis, and congestion of the lungs they
may bo relied upon for removing all danger, and, by purify-
ing and regulating the circulation' they effectually prevent
relapses by rousing the liver to a fair secretion of bile and
quickly carrying it off from the system. These pills ward
low spirits, listlessness, and those distressing feelings
often called nervous.
