WOLVERHAMPTON:

Sir Richard Bethell yesterday issued an address
to the electors. Sir Richard has at present the field
to himself, nor has any opponent been spoken of.

WOODSTOCK.

In this small borough there is no probability of
opposition to the return of the sitting member,
Lord Alfred S. Churchill.

WORCESTER.

Yesterday Mr. Laslett
,issued his address to the
electors, soliciting re-election. The committee of
the Worcester Reform Association have also
issued a manifesto expressing approval of the votes of
the city members, and appealing to the non-electors
to "throw their weight into the Liberal scale," as
the battle about to be fought is to decide whether
or not they are to be admitted within the pale of
the constitution."

WORCESTERSHIRE (EAST).
Mr. Foley and Mr. Calthorpe have issued their
addresses. The promised Conservative candidates
have not yet been announced.

IRELAND.
DUBLIN, MONDAY.

There is, it appears, a chance of the next House
of Commons being favoured by the presence of Mr.
G. H. Moore—the prophet without honour in his
own land of the west. The Kilkenny County Club,
after mature deliberation, have decided that the ex-
M.P. for Mayo and Xi% J. Greene are to be the
boys for Kilkenny, Sergeant Shee's legitimate
claims to a seat being thrown overboard by this
discriminating body of electors, Col. Wood, of the
Militia Artillery, and formerly a major in the 15th
Hussars, is up for Cork city, as a zealous supporter
of the Derby Government. Col. V. L. Hatton has
made a precipitate retreat retreat from the borough
of Wexford. He admits he has been too late in the
field—a curious confession, considering that his ad-
dress was published in the local papers some 48
hours after the Ministerial intention for a dissolu-
tion was known in Ireland. Mr. Devereux, the
sitting member, has a s yet made no sign. The
actual candidates are Sir Frederic Hughes and Mr.
J. E. Redmond, Liberals. Sir Frederic goes for
tenant right and the ballot ; Mr. Redmond's con-
fession of faith is somewhat cloudy. The city of
Kilkenny is wooed by Mr. N. Loughnan, who
thinks the Whigs bad enough, but not so bad as
the Conservatives.

No life or liberty would be safe in the hands of law offi-
eers that strike Catholics off juries, and endeavour to con-
stitute them of Orangemen. Under a Whig Government
legislation for Ireland would be much the same, but such a
Government gives a chance to Catholics by appointing Ca-
tholic law officers of the Crown, and giving Catholics some
share in Government appointments."
Mr. Chas. Kelly, a Dublin barrister of some emi-
nence, is the Liberal candidate for Sligo borough.
The local papers say it is uncertain whether the
Right Hon. John Wynne will again seek the suf-
frages of the electors. He, among others, is suffer-
ing from impaired health. Mr. John Carden, of
Barnane, a gentleman of some fame in Ireland, is
said to have cast a longing eye on the representa-
tion of Cashel, but this, like many other specula-
tions in the Irish journals, is little more than guess-
work, and may or may not turn out true. lir.
Singleton De Bathe, who dates from Belgrave-
square, London, has addressed the electors of
Drogheda as a champion of Conservatism. Mr.
Kertland, the late sub-sheriff, is also in the field,
but whether, as Whig, or Tory the public amuot

informel. The following is an extract of a letter
from Galway :

" A large number of persons are named as the supposed
candidates, and the French party have already decorated
the walls of our ould town'with his notification of being a
candidate at the coming contest. Lord Dunkellin and John
Orrell Lever' are also named in one of the Galway papers as
being two of the roost suitable candidates for the represen-
tation of the, borough. Mr. Anthony ,O'Flaherty, our late
representative, will also take his stand, and patiently wait
for the 'tug of war.' Sir T. Rediagton is again to take the
field, and it is said will make a good fight. Rumours are
afloat that Mr. The& Howard, of Manchester, will take his
chance, and Captain O'Hara, of Lenaboy Castle, it is said,
will come in for sweepstakes."
