ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

Cm. or LONDON.—A strong feeling prevails in the
City of London that Mr. Baring, M.P. for Huntingdon,
should be solicited to offer himself once more as a candi-
date for the City at the next general election; and it is
confidently anticipated that, in the event of his consenting
t 9 come forward, he will not be seriously opposed.—
Imperial .Review.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE.—It Is reported that Mr. Ste-
phen Temple, Q.C., the leader of the Northern Circuit,
and Attorney-General for the Counties Palatine of Lan-
caster and Durham, will be invited to come forward as a
Constitutional cantlidate. The present members are
Aldermen Cowen and the Right Hon. T. E. Headlam'
both Liberals.

LANCASHIRE (WEST DERBY DIVISION).-It appears to
have been arranged that Mr. R. A. Cross, barrister, for-
merly member for Preston, and at present chairman of the
quarter sessions, will be brought forward ,by the Conser-
vatives, in conjunction with Mr. Charles Turner, the
present Conservative member, in opposition to the Right
Hon. W. E. Gladstone.

LIVERPOOL. —Some time since Mr. Robertson Gladstone
was solicited by the Liberals to stand at the next election,
but lie declined. It is generally understood that Mr. IV.
Rathbone will be asked to come forward. Regret has
been expressed that, owing to Mr. Vernon Harcourt being
engaged for Oxford, he will not be able to allow himself
to be nominated for Liverpool

BLACKBURN.—An adjourned meeting of the Liberal
party,in Blackburn has been held, when several of the
leading Liberals of the town and neighbourhood were pre-
sent. Mr. Montague J. Fielder, a former representative
of the borough, having given an exposition of his political
views, a resolution was passed adopting him as a candi-
date, and pledging the meeting to use their endeavours to
secure his return in conjunction with Mr. John Gerald
Potter, of Mytton Hall.

OXFORD. —Mr. W. V. Harcourt, Q.C., who has been
invited by ere Liberal party to fill the vacancy in the
representation of the city of Oxford, caused by the retire-
ment of Mr. Neate on the dissolution of the presents Par-
liament, is announced to address the electors at Oxford on
Thursday evening, the 11th inst. The Imperial Review,
learns that in the event of Mr. Harcourt persevering in
his candidature, he will be opposed by Dr. Deane, Q.C..
the Admiralty Advocate, in the Constitutional interest.

NORTH-EAST ESSEX. —lt is rumoured that Mr. Jame►
Round, who, with Mr. Du Cane, has been nominated by
the Conservatives in North-East Essex, will decline to
contest the representation of that division. Sir Thomas
Western, now M.P. for North Essex, will come forward
in the Liberal interest, and it is expected that the hon.
baronet will fight in conjunction with a colleague not ye'
named.

NORWICH.—The movement for the nomination of Mr.
R. J. Harvey, at present M.P. for Thetford, and the
Hon. F. Walpole as Conservative candidates for Nor-
wich, has met with little encouragement, and no candi-
dates have yet been selected by the local Conservative
leaders. At the same time it is intimated that both the
seats for the city will be contested by the Conservatives.
NEW Ross. Mr. M`Mahon, who represented the
county Wexford for 13 years, will be brought forward in
the Liberal interest for New Ross. The name of Mr. D.
C. Heron, Q.C., was also brought before the acting Liberal
committee ; but in consegence of that gentleman being, it
it is stated, about to start for Cashel, he has not been
solicited.

GLASGOW AND ABERDEEN UNIVERSITIES.—The North
British Daily Mail understands that Mr. Andrew Halliday
Duff, a litteratear, perhaps better known under his nom
de plume of Andrew Halliday, °intends offering
himself as a candidate for the seat proposed in the Scotch
Reform Bill to be bestowed on thelUniversities of Glasgow
and Aberdeen. Mr. Halliday Duff is the secretary of the
Savage Club, and is the author of the "Sunnyside Papers"
and several other works of the same class, as well as a
number of successful plays. He is Liberal in politics.
Amongst the possible candidates mentioned on the Conser-
vative side are Sir W. Stirling-Maxwell, M.P. for Perth-
shire, and Sir Archibald Alison.

INTELLIGENT JIIILYMEN.—Sir W. Erie, in the
course of his evidence on juries, was asked whether it
would be advisable to give juries desks and writing paper
on which they might take notes. The learned gentleman
made no direct reply to this inquiry, but said that " the
most intelligent and the best juries with whom he bad
been brought in contact patiently listened in silence to all
the evidence and all the speeches, and then found a
verdict for the plaintiff or the defendant." A talkative
juror is fortunately rarely met with, but Sir W. Erie
evidently thought that the temptation to cross-examine
would prove irresistible if once juries got into a habit
of taking copious notes.—Law Journal.
