ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

NORTH SnltorsumE.—At a meeting of Liberals held at
Shrewsbury it was determined to start a candidate in oppo..
sition to Lord Newport and Mr. Gore for North Shropshire.
Mr. Jebb, a county landowner, has accepted the nomination,
and his address has been issued.

DUBLIN UNIVERSITY.—Another candidate for the honont
of representing the University of Dublin has sprnng up. He
dates from "the Temple, London," and signs himself T. Do
Meschin. Mr. De Meschin is a Liberal, and was until re-
cently a candidate for Marylebone, where, however, he
found his chance of success hopeless.
KENDAL.—Mr. Thomas Briggs, of Manchester, a candi-
date for Kendal in the Conservative interest, in opposition
to Mr. J. Whitwell, Liberal. Mr. Briggs, in his address,
speaking of the Irish Church, says :—" Upon the
;Treat question of the day, the disestablishment and dis-
endowment of the Irish Church, I am firmly convinced that
disestablishment would be most injurious and disendow-
ment most unjust, and, therefore, if I have the honour to re-
present you in Parliament, I should give Mr. Gladstone's
measure for the spoliation of the Irish Church my strongest
opposition."

SHREWSBrItY-Mr. George Tomline, who has represented
f3hreccsbury for nearly 30 years, has offered himself to the
electors of Grimsby.
NORTHAMPTON.—The Conservative candidates for the
borough are Mr. Merewether, Recorder of Leicester, and
Mr. Lendrick, late secretary to the Earl of Mayo. There are
four Liberals in the field.

BeuNsTAPLE.--Finding his chances of election small, Mr.
William Abbott, who dated an address from the Grosvenc9
Hotel, Belgravia, to the Conservative electors, has retired•
The Conservatives will now bring forward Capt. William*
a local gentleman of somo influence.

EAST CORNWALL.—Mr. N. Kendall, who has represented
the county ever since 1852, when he defeated Mr. Carew,
the Conservative member, by a narrow majority, has retired
from the contest. Mr. Brydges Willyams and Sir John
Trelawny, the Liberal candidates, will therefore bo elected
without ,opposition. This is a gain of one seat—counting
two votes on a division—to the Liberal party.

'Me Times announces that all disputes now pending
between America and Great Britain are to be referred to
& commission, consisting of four persons, two to be chosen
by each Government, with power to nominate a fifth as
umpire. To this commission will be submitted al)
questions that have arisen between the two Governments
since 1853. The Alabama difficulty—that is, the primary
question of whether Great Britain is liable for the depre-
dations committed by the cruiser—will be left to the arbi-
tration of a European monarch of the highest class. As
the Emperor of the French and the Emperor of Russia
are both, according to the Times, considered ineligible,
the King of Prussia is evidently the sovereign chosen. If
the arbiter decide that England is liable for the losses in-
flicted by the Alabami, the commission will then go to work
to determine the amount of the various individual
claims. The recognition by England of the South
as a belligerent is not to be pressed. The
commission will also have to investigate the question
of the denationalisation of British emigrants who became
citizens of the United States, and the San Juan affair,
which so nearly caused a war between the two countries
nine years ago.

The formal announcement that the difficulties between
the two countries were at an end was made by Mr.
Iteverdy Johnson at the Guildhall. He forbore, however,
to state the means by which the end was brought about ;
and the responsibility g the above statement rests thor<e•
fore with the Ttit in, .
