LANCASHIRE. (SOUTH).
An influential meeting of the Liberal freeholders
of South Lancashire was held at Newall's-buildings,
Mancbester, yesterday afternoon,=-Mr. George
Wilson in the chair,—to receive a deputation from
Liverpool respecting the future representation of
the county. A resolution, to the effect that Mr. T.
P. Heywood, banker, Liverpool, and Mr. John
Cheetham, one of the present members, were fit
and proper candidates for the representation of
South Lancashire, was proposed and carried unani-
mously.

his intention to offer himself as • a candidate at the
ensuing election, Mr. PEkullon hes; ;mt.' fnrFnrd

present members.

LEOMINSTER.
The two Conservative members, Mr. Gathorne
Hardy and the Hon. C. S. B. Hanbury, have al-
ready commenced their canvass, incited to vigorous
action by the rumour that the seat will be contested
by Mr. Wilde, Q.C., who, however, has not yet
made his appearance. An address has been issued
by Mr. Hardy, who was sent down expressly by
his party to expound the Government policy, and
animadvert upon the conduct of the Liberal party.

LINCOLN.
Major Sibthorp and Mr. Heneage, the sitting
members, are soliciting the votes of the electors.
Mr. Hinde Palmer; the son-in-law of the. Right
Hon. C. T. D'Eyncourt, and who contested
this city on the last occasion, is again a candidate,
on the ballot and other advanced liberal opinions.
Mr. Palmer is firosecuting his canvass with all the
success which his position on the former poll and
his popularity at Lincoln led him to expect. The
Liberal party are sanguine of success.

LONDON.
Requisitions are in course of signature to Lord
Stanley and Mr. Thomas Baring. Lord Stanley is
invited to offer himself for the City of London, as
" a man of high position, influence, and indepen-
dence," and Mr. Baring is requested to become a
candidate, " because it is of the utmost importance
that a gentleman of high standing in the mercan-
tile world should represent the interests of the city
of London in Parliament."

MAIDSTONE.
The Conservative party have brought forward
Mr. Egerton V. Harcourt, son of the late Archbishop
of York, and Mr. J. Wardlaw, of Langdon, near
Maldon, Essex, to fill the places of Mr. Beresford
Hope, who has become a candidate for the Univer-
sity of Cambridge, and Major Scott, who does not
intend to offer himself for re-election. Both of the
above gentlemen have issued addresses to the elec-
tors. Mr. W. Lee, the Liberal candidate, is actively
and successfully prosecuting his canvass, and there
is little doubt another candidate will be brought
forward on the same side.

MALD ON.
In the address of Mr. T. S. Weston to the electors
of Maldon, he says that Lord Derby's Government,
having failed in their attempt to tamper with the
representation of the people, have appealed to the
country, but have misrepresented the issue to be
tried—Reform. In his opinion the principles at
stake are those of liberty and progress, and to save
them from an insidious attack he spoke and voted
for Lord John Russell's resolution. The assault on
the borough of Maldon contemplated by the Govern-
ment bill was not the least wanton feature in it.
Whatever redistribution of seats may be called for
by the growth of population elsewhere, it is not at
Maldon, with a constituent body of 1,071 electors,
that any disfranchisement is justifiable.

MONMOUTHSHIRE.
Mr. Oetavius Morgan, brother of Sir Charles
Morgan, Bart., has just issued an address, announc-
ing his intention to come forward for re-election.

MONMOUTHSHIRE BOROUGHS.
IVIr. Crawsbay Bailey announces that he shal'
again solicit the suffrages of the electors.

• NEWARK.
Lord Lincoln has issued an address to the elec-
tors, solicting re-election. He states that he voted
against the resolution of Lord J. Russell, because
he was of opinion that the Government measure
might have formed the basis of a satisfactory set-
tlement of an anxious question, if the house had
consented to allow the bill to be considered in com-
mittee.

NORTHAMPTONSHIRE (NORTH).
Lord Burghley, who is at present detained in
town upon a Parliamentary committee, has issued
an address. Mr. George Ward Hunt, the other
member for this division of the county, has also
issued an address.

NOTTINGHAM.
Several efforts to induce Mr. Nicholl, jun., of
Manchester, to reconsider his determination not to
allow himself to be nominated in the Liberal in-
terest have failed. Another meeting of the heads
of the Liberal party was held last night. The meet-
ing, which was very numerously attended, decided
by a large majority in favour of Mr. Mellor, Q,c
who was subsequently introduced and addressed the
electors at considerable length.

man of the North-Eastern Railway Company, and
Mr. Farside Watson, barrister, Whitby, to become
candidates.
