ELECTION INTELLIGENCE,

CHELSEA.—The third Liberal candidate, Mr. Otter,
having, since his withdrawal, in the most honourable
manner consented to speak in favour of the selected candi-
dates, at an aggregate meeting of the Chelsea Liberals, it
is probable that Mr. Wentworth Dilke and Sir Henry
Hoare will shortly issue a joint address, and appear
together at each of the vestry halls. A few of the more
noisy of Mr. Odger's late supporters declare that they will
bring forward another jworking man candidate, but there is
little doubt that they will not carry their threat into
execution.

HACKNEY. —Captain Hamilton Story, who came forward
in the Conservative interest, has retired, and his place is
to be filled by Mr. C. Locock -Webb. He is opposed to
the disestablishment of the Irish Church, and declares his
Conservatism to be unhesitating and decided.
PETERBOROUGH.—Mr. Whalley has issued an address to
the electors of Peterborough, reviewing the results of his
canvass, which he deems satisfactory. Mr. Wrenfordsley
has come forward as a cordial supporter of the present
Government.

READING.—For several weeks past the Liberal members
for this borough, Sir Francis Goldsmid, Bart., and Mr. G.
Shaw Lefevre, have been threatened with opposition, but
as yet the Conservative party have been unsuccessful in
their endeavours to find candidates sufficiently bold to
fight their cause with the two present representatives.
ROCHDALE.—Mr. W. W. Schofield, of Bu!kley Han,
nas issued an address as the Conservative candidate.

SHREIVSBURY.-Mr. Figgins, a London typefounder, has
accepted a requisition to contest Shrewsbury in the Con.
servative interest. The opposition will be chiefly directed
against Mr. Tomline, who is the non-resident member, and
not very popular.
WORCESTER.—A Mr. King has come out as a nitn
Liberal candidate. There is only one Conservative in the
field.

WEST WORCESTERSHIRE.—On Saturday the addresses
of the two sitting members, Mr. Winn Knight and Mr.
Dowdeswell, were issued. Both seek re-election. Sir T.
E. Winnington has been invited to stand in the Liberal
interest, but has not yet replied.
WEYmounr.—A new Conservative candidate nas
appeared here, in the person of Mr. Charles J. T.
Hambro, son of Baron Hambro, of Milton Abbey, Bland-
ford. The other Conservative candidate is one of the sit-

tiny members, Mr. Brooks. Mr. Powell, Q.C., who, with
Mr. Edwards, the other sitting member, is a Liberal can-
didate, has completed his canvass. It appears to have
been satisfactory to himself and party in an eminent
degree.

SOUTH SHROPSHIRE.—CoI. Cori) At (C.) is to be brougnt
forward in opposition to Mr. Jasper More (L.) Mr. More
beaded the poll at the last election.
NOTTINGHAM.— Mr. Merriman, one of the Liberal
candidates, has retired, leaving three Liberals in the field

Robert Clifton has notified that if Mr. Marten (C.) goes
to the poll, he will do his utmost to prevent his being
returned.
