COUNTIES.

BRECKNOKSHIRE.—There seems to be some
doubt whether Major Godfrey Morgan will again
start for the representation of this county, in con-
sequence of the delicate state of his health, arising
from the ardent pursuit of his military duties in
the Crimea. In the event of his retirement, Major-
General Wood, formerly M.P. for Middlesex, a son
of Colonel 'Wood, of Littleton, who represented the
county for 40 years, will, in all probability, be
returned unopposed.
CAMBRIDGESHIRE.—Mr. Adeane's address ap-
pears. We (Cambridge Independent) understand
that there will be no contest for the county, and
that the three retiring members will be re-elected
without opposition.
CARMARTHENSHIRE.—Mr. D. Pugh and Mr. D.
Jones, the sitting members, offer themselves again.
Both have issued addresses, and both allude to the
Government Reform Bill. Mr. Pugh says :—" I
voted for it because it extended the right of suffrage
to the educated classes and the more meritorious of
the working classes." And Mr. Jones says :
:11aa the Opposition honestly desired a Reform
Bill calculated to strengthen and uphold the inte-
rests of the United Kingdom, amendments might
have been carried to effect the object they professed
to advocate." _
opposition to their re-election is
anticipated. •
CUMBERLAND ,--rPAsT.)—Both of the present
representatives, the Hon,
W. Marshall, Charles Howard and Mr.
wilicrEsinTrur forward.

.Ibraham Egerton
and Mr. G. C. Legh offer themselves for re-election
by the Conservatives, and have issued
dresses. their ad-
ESSEX (NORTH).—The public havei iiitotliyet had
the benefit of an address from the R
Beresford, but he seems to be the acceptedg candidate,onW
in conjunction with Mr. Du Cane, the other
conser-
vative sitting member. Lieut.-Colonel Bri
Se, who
issued a conservative address last June, has not at
Present followed it up.
GLOUCESTERSHIRE (EAST).—Sir W. Codringto
and Mr. R. S. Holford issued their addresses to the
electors of East Gloucestershire on Saturday, solicit.
ing re-election.
GLOUCESTERSHIRE (WEST).—The Hon. Grantley
Berkeley has just issued an address to the electors
offering his services in the event of no other liberal
being found to contest the seat with the present
conservative member, Mr. Rolt, who has issued his
a ddress.
GLAMORGANSHIRE.—Mr. Hussey Vivian issued
his address on Saturday. He gives in it his reason
for voting for Lord John Russell's resolutions, of
both of -which he approves. But he adds :—" I
arprvve G f the so-cal pd `alley franchises' proposed

by the Government, and I consider that the principle
involved by the savings bank franchise should be
made applicable to all investments of a like nature."
NORFOLK (EAST).—An adjourned de ,berative
meeting of the heads of the conservative party was
held on Saturday, at Norwich. The roceedings
were conducted in private, but it transpired in the
course of the day that the party are r dy to agree
to a compromise with the liberals, and that Mr.
Edward Howes, one of the chairmen of the county
quarter sessions, is to be their candidate. Mr.
Howes will probably be returned without opposition
with Lieut.-Col. Coke, the present liberal sitting
member. The quiet of the division is not likely,
therefore, to be disturbed ; but it is understood that
if the Whigs will not agree to the proposed com-
promise, Mr.H.N. Burroughes, who represented
the constituency from 1837 to 1857, will come for-
ward with Mr. Howes.
NORFOLK (WEST) _There seems to be an impres-
sion. that both Mr. Gurdon and Mr. Bentinek
ll
be re-elected.
OXFORDSHIRE.—Although the present members,
the Right Hon. J. W. Henley, G. G. Harcourt,
i
Esq., and Colonel North, have not yet issued ad-
dresses, it is quite understood that they intend
offering themselves again. A report was prevalent
during the early part of last week that an attempt
would be made by the Tories to turn out Mr. Har-
court, but this has received no confirmation.
RADNORSHIRE.—Sir John Walsh has just issued
an address.
SOMERSETSHIRE (EAST).—The Liberal electors
are, it seems, unprepared to contest the seat now
held by Mr. Knatchbull, who has succeeded in
giving general dissatisfaction to all classes of his
constituents.
SUFFOLK (WEST).—In West Suffolk Captain P.
Bennet, one of the Conservative sitting members,
Major Windsor Parker (Conservative), and Earl
Jerm yn (Liberal Conservative), are still pressing
their claims. Captain Bennet has made common
cause with Major Parker, and a committee has been
formed for the purpose of securing their joint return.
Captain Bennet declares himself a conscientious
supporter of Lord Derby. A deputation has waited
upon Mr. F. M. W ilson, of Langham-hall, request-
ing him to allow himself to be put in nomination
in the Liberal interest, but the result has not been
announced. Mr. Wilson came forward as a Liberal
candidate in 1857, but did not go to the poll.
SUFFOLK (EAST).—It is not expected that the
return of Sir F. Kelly and Lord Henniker will be
opposed. There have been rumours for some time
past of a Liberal opposition from Colonel Shafto
Adair, but an address has not yet appeared from
the gallant officer.
YORKSHIRE (EAST RIDING).—Lord Hotham and
the Hon. Arthur Duncombe, the present Conserva-
tive members, are likely to be re-elected.
YORKSHIRE (NORTH RIDING).—The Hon. 0.
Duncombe (Conservative), and Mr. E. S. Cayley
(Whig) are candidates.
YORKSHIRE (WEST RIDING.)—The Liberals have
determined to bring forward Sir J. W. Ramsden,
one of the present members for the Riding, and Mr F.
Crossley, one of the present members for Halifax.
Both those gentlemen have consented, and have
issued addresses in conformity with the views of
Lord John Russell. The Leeds Mereary of to-day
announces Mr. Denison's retirement.
