THE MONTGOMERT SHIRE BOROUGEIS.—There is
every prospect of a severe contest for these boroughs, the
representation of which is vacant by the death of Mr.
Pugh. The candidates in the field are Captain Tracy, son
of Lord Sudeley, Lord-Lieutenant of the county, and an
officer in the Coldstream Guards, in the Liberal interest ;
and Captain Wines Johnson, a naval officer, and son-in-
law of the late member, in the Tory interest. An active
canvass is being prosecuted in all the towns—Montgomery,
Newtown, lVelshpool, Llanidloes, Machynlleth, and Llan-
fyllin. Numerous meetings of Mr. Tracy's friends have
been held, and a few of those of Captain Johnson. The
nomination will take place to-day at Montgomery.
The Magnetic Needle does not point to the North with
greater certainty than is the effect produced by Herring's
magnetic brushes, &c. Dr. Hassall states, " I regard
them as the most perfect brushes hitherto made, as respects
their mechanical construction, and their magnetical
action." They are the remedy for grey hair, neuralgia,
rheumatism, ,tc. N.B.—counterfeita ere keittg mule'
