THE ELECTORS OF ROCHDALE AND M. COBDEN.
.—On Thursday morning, when the position assigned to
Mr. Cobden in the new ministry became known, some of
the Conservative body spoke very positively that If he ac-
cepted office, by which an election would be necessary, a
contest would certainly take place for the borough. Many
of the Conservatives have expressed their dissatisfaction at
the language held forth upon the hustings towards Sir A.
Ramsay on his retirement. On the other hand, the Libe-
rals think that should Mr. Cobden accept the office of
President of the Board of Trade, the occasion of bis.re-elec-
tion will be a fitting opportunitY
