ELECTION EV TELLIGENCE.

CITY OF LONDON.—The registration being e9ncludca,
the political parties on both sides in the City are now
busily engaged in preparations for the corning contest.
The Liberal committee are distributing a printed form
among the whole constituency, in one part of which the
voter is asked to indicate the three out of the whole seven
candidates, Liberals and Conservatives together, for
whom he intends to vote ; or, as an alternative,
he has the option of signing a form, as a perfectly
voluntary act on his part, stating that he is prepared
4o distribute his votes as the Liberal Electors' Central
Committee or the Liberal committee of his district may
consider best calculated to secure the return of the four
sitting members—Rothschild, Crawford, Goschen, and
Lawrence. This step has been imposed upon the com-
mittee by considerations arising ont of the minority clause.
The Conservatives, or " Constitutionalists," as they now
sometimes call themselves, have had the manifesto of the
Premier printed in large letters, of a colour which they
would probably call " true blue," surmounted by con-
spicuous representations of the crown and sceptre resting
on a bible, as the emblems of their party chosen for the

occasion.

GATESHEAD. —Mr. W. Arbuthnot, of Harwich Hall,
Sedgefield, has issued an address as a candidate for Gates-
head, in oppcsition to Sir William llutt. Mr. Arbuthnot
holds Radical opinions, and will give support to Gladstone
and Bright as leaders of the Liberal party.
COVENTRY. —On Monday afternoon an enthusiastic
demonstration took place in Coventry, on the occasion of
the entry into the city of the two Liberal candidates,
Messrs. Carter and Jackson. In the evening a meeting
was held in the Corn Exchange, Ivhich was densely
crowded. Messrs. Carter and Jackson spoke at length on
the political topics of the day, and resolutions in their
favour were passed by acclamation.
BURY ST. EDMUNDS.—Mr. R. Sorton Parry, who had
offered himself as a Liberal candidate for thisborough,lras
issued an address to the electors announcing his retirement,
alleging as his reason the fact that the old electors of the
Liberal party had not cordially given him their support.
Simultaneously with Mr. Parry's farewell address
appeared one from Mr. Edward H. Bunbury, announcing
himself as the second Liberal candidate. Mr. Bunbury
formerly represented the borough, but was defeated at
the general election of 1852 by Sir John Stuart, who was
made Vice-Chancellor very shortly afterwards.

NORTH WILTS.—The Liberals are al out to forward a
requisition to Sir Henry Hoare, Bart., one of the candi-
dates for Chelsea, to stand in conjunction with Lord
Charles Bruce as a second Liberal candidate for that
division. Mr. Schomberg, the present second Liberal
candidate, came into the field after this requisition was
afloat, and, on hearing the state of affairs, very readily
said he would give place to Sir Henry. Lord Charles
Bruce has expressed his willingness to coalesce with the
hon. baronet,
SOUTH HANTS.—It is stated that a second candidate in
the Liberal interest will issue his address in a day or two.
It will be the first contested election for about thirty
years.

EAST SURREY.—The sitting Liberal members, the Hon.
J. Locke King and Mr. Charles Buxton, have issued their
addresses seeking re-election. They both pledge them-
selves to continue to vote for Mr. Gladstone's Irish Church
resolutions. There is no opposition.
MID-SOMERSET.—At a numerously-attended public meet-
ing of the Liberal electors of Mid-Somerset, held at Glas-
tonbury, it was unanimously resolved to request Mr. E. A.
Freeman, of Summerleaze, Wells, to stand for that divi-
sion in the Liberal interest. Mr. Freeman, who was
present, consented to become a candidate, and his address

will appear immediately.
WEST SURREY.—Mr. F. Pennington, the new Liberal
candidate, has nearly completed his canvass, and little
doubt is entertained that he and Mr. George Cubitt, the
present Conservative member, will be returned. Mr.
Briscoe, who, although a Liberal, voted against Mr.
Gladstone on the Irish Church, declares that he will go to
the poll, hut nearly all his old friends have deserted him.
He has no committee, no agents, and his canvassing is

very desultory and feeble.
DUBLIN UNIVERSITY.-Mr. T. A. Purcell, Q. 0., comes
forward as a Conservative candidate for the seat expected
to be vacated by the Attorney-Generalfor Ireland. Whilst
"prepared to support any just and well-considered mea-

sures of administrative reform calculated to reform abuses
and to increase the efficiency of the Church," he will
strenuously oppose its disestablishment and disendow-

ment.

COUNTY DOWN. —lt is believed there will be no change
in the representation of this county, as there is no doubt
the old members, Lord Arthur Edwin Hill Trevor and
Colonel Porde, will be again returned.
CLARE.—Sir Colman O'Loghlen, in an address to the
electors of the county of Clare, states his opinion that
"religious equality can alone restore social harmony and
national unity."
DurmAm.-7The Right. Hon. J. R. Mowbray has issued
his retiring address to the electors of Durham. He says :
"It is not without a pang that I thus voluntarily bid fare-
well to a constituency whose cordial and undeviating support
has been accorded to me during sixteen sessions, and
throughout four Parliaments. Although threatened with
a contest at the ensuing election, I had every reason to
hope and believe that I should not have solicited in vain
the suffrages of an enlarged constituency."
BARNsTArLE.—A deputation has waited upon Mr.
William Petter, of the firm of Cassell, Pater, and Galpin,
the well-known publishers, asking him to stand for the
bcrough as a Conservative. Ilif answer has not yet been
made public. Mr. Fetter is a native of Barnstaple, and
it is believed that, in consequence of the Liberal split, his
chances of success are favourable.

A RARE Flsn.—The Bristol Post says that a few
days ago a fisherman of the village of Oldbury-on-Severn
caught an eel over 80Th. in weight.
It is announced that an American has arrived lit
T..ris to take out a patent Lv which typogi ophy is about
to be revolutionized. Tl.: *mrressions, it is st:ltcd, are to
b- produced by charactc:, 3 of phosphor,;-.
