nominated. A pull was demanded.
DUMBARTON (COUNTY.)—Mr. Mackenzie, of Glentore,
has started as a candidate for this county in the Libe-
ral interest, in opposition to Mr. Smollett, the retiring
member. Mr. Mackenzie has realised a competent-I!?
Glasgow as a whi-ky merchant, and is a favourite with
the village voters, but his chances of carrying the county
are considered very slight.

Archbishop Cullen leas iseued a m
the guidance of the Roman Catholic cl palie..r
euce to the duty of electors at the imps e ,
Affecting to repudiate all desire to dictate eitkundill, to S
influence the constituency in the exercise of their consti-
tutional rights, Dr. Cullen thus indicates the principles
which ought to guide the electors in the choice of can-
didates :
" The right of voting has been conferred on them that
it may be exercised for the general welfare of the country.
We are therefore, without dictating to any one, to exhort
all to falfil this obligation by recording their votes in
favour of honest and upright men—men of religion and
principle anxious only for the public good ; not to be so.
ductal from the path oft honour by self-interest or the ties
of party—men who will not bo indifferent to the spiritual
and temporal destitution of the poor in our workhouses,
nor to defend the rights of religion against every encroach-
ment. There are many liberal and enlightened men of
every creed who will undertake these duties and consci-
entiously discharge them. There are Protestants whom no
consideration would induce to injure or disturb the re-
ligion of Catholics, and there are Catholics willing and
ready to respect the feelings of their Protestant brethren.
There are others, however, to whose hands political power
caunot be committed without exciting in our minds feel-
ings of alarm for the safety °four country and our religion.
We speak not of other parts of the empire, but we refer to
those who boast of being members of the bigoted, fanatical,
proselytising Orange faction in Ireland—a faction hostile.to
every liberal Protestant, not less than to every thing Catholic.
The;adepts of this party, if we are to believe their own declar-
ations and address, are anxious to repeal the Catholic Eman-
cipation Act, to exclude-every Catholic from even the lowest
office in this Catholic country, to raise a clamour if any
Catholic receive the reward of his talents and services, to
destroy our convents, to disendow our college, which re-
ceives public aid, to poison the education of our poor, and
to renew all the evils of the penal laws. Though profess-
ing such designs, this party does not blush to ask for the
support of Catholic voters, and is endeavouring to climb
into power by securing the co-operation of persons whose
principles it detests. God is our witness that we sincerely
desire the true welfare of our bitterest enemies, but-as
long as they carry on so decided a hostility against our re-
ligion, the only assistance we should give them in their
search for power over ns is a fervent prayer that God may
open their eyes to the light of truth, and make them
understand the iniquity of the course which leads them to
desire the abolition of the rights of their Catholic brethren
and the renewal of persecution and bloodshed."
ARMAGH (ClTY).—Messrs. Bond and Miller were no-
minated yesterday. A poll was demanded.

popiliarioUrfialS that there are but faint"` pee of die-
placiog the two late Derbyite members. The Whig of
Saturday says •
" The success which has attended the canvass of
M'Clean and Mr. Ferguson, the Liberal candidates, has
Leen remarkable and gratifying —remarkable when the in-
famous condition of the burgess roll is considered, and gra-
tifying iu no ordinary degree as having been the means of
educing a great Liberal enthusiasm, and as having re-
constructed the Liberal party, The Liberal candidates
may not win this election, but it is beyond a doubt that
they must win. at the next' contest._ .We are not to benn-
derstood as being apprehensive that neither Mr. M'Clean
nor Mr. Ferguson will be returned at the present time ; on
the contrary, we see every present reason to anticipate
that one at least of the Liberal candidates will
but we cannot forget that the burgess roll does not repre-
sent the political feeling of the town, and that we are not
fighting on even ground."
CLARE (COUNTY.—Private letters .from parties nor-
versant with the state of public feeling in the county
assert that the return of Lord Francis Conyngtam and
Mr. Luke„White may be considered quite certain. The - •
former, it may be recollected, was rejected by the great
meeting held at Ennis on Wednesday, and.tlae preference
given to Mr. M. Calcott as the fitting colleague of Mr.
White. Nevertheless, the Conynghatn interest and the
general popularity of the family are likely, it is said, to
overpower all opposition,
DROGHEDA,—At • the eleventh hour Captain A. M.
Moore, of the 7th Dragoon Guards, has addressed the
doctors. The other candidates are Mr. M'Cann, the
late member, and Mr. Brodigan. A sharp contest is
expected.

.DONDILL—The candidates nominated are Messrs.
Bowyer, Honey, Cashell, and Cantwell. The show of
hands was in favour of Mr. Bowyer. Poll deinanded.
DUBLIN UNIVERSITY.—The nomination of candidates
for the representation of this Univer,ity took place yes-
terday. The Rev. Dr. Lloyd proposed, and Mr. E. A.
Goyer seconded, the nomination of Mr. Hamilton. The
Vice-Provost proposed, and the Rev. H. Veracough
seconded, the nomination of the Hon. J.,/stapier. The
Rev. Mr. Houghton proposed, and the Rev. R. Back-
wood seconded, the nomination, of Mr. John Wilson.
The Rev. Mr. Gillow proposed, and the Rev. B. Foley
neconded, the nomination of it:. James Lawson. Mr.
Napier spoke so long that there was no time left for the
two new candidates to address the electors. The nomi-
nation was therefore adjourned till Tuesday,
Enna (BoROUGE) —lt appears that, Mr. George
Henry Moore, the Elector-General Of Ireland, actually
travelled down to Ennis on SatTurday with a candidate •
in leading strings to contest the representation with the
Attorney General.. However, matters not looking plea-
sant, and being doubtful of the nature of his reception,
Mr. Moore, it is said, did not show, and remained con-
cealed in his hotel till the election was over.
GALWAY (BOROUdli).—The candidates nominated yes-
terday for this borough were Lord bunk..ellin, Mr. An-
thony O'Flaherty, and.Lieutsnant-Colono French. The
show of hands was in favour of Lord Dunkellin. A poll
was demanded.

I GALwAr. (Courrzy.).„--.lSLotsvithatanaing.44t. Captain- _ •
Bellew has reoeived political absolution from Dr. M'Hale,
it is by no means certain that his sins have been for-
given by the majority of his late constituency. Under
such circumstances, Mr. W. H. Gregory, of Coale, has
entered the field in opposition to Mr. Bellew, for of Sir
Thomas Burke's return there is not a sba low of doubt,
Mr. Gregory is eminently popular with all parties, and
it is quite evident from the tone of the Roman Catholic
journals that the Liberal ProteF•tant, if not first, is at all
events second favourite. The Vi,cllcatar says—
"We have no hesitation in saying that Mr. Gregory's •
address is a manly and fair exposition of his principles and
opinions on subjects important to all Irishmen. Nor have
we any hesitation in expressing our conviction that what-
ever Mr. Gregory promises he will be certain to carry out,
though he repudiates the modern morality of pledge-tak-
ing. He is for religious liber:y and the rights of the tenant,
and opposed to the inequality and injustice of the income
tax as it affects Ireland. We have before said that Mr.
Gregory is deservedly popular with all parties who know
him, and thera can be no doubt that he ranks among the
best landlords in this country."
KILKENNY.—The nomination took place yesterday—
Mr. Su;livan and Mr. J. H. Devereux being proposed.
There was no show of hands, it is said, owing to the
confusion, A poll was demanded.

KILKENNY (CduNTY).—The run is to be made upon
Mr. Sergeant Shee. The lion. Mr. Mostyn has been
adopted by the ultra-Roman Catholics, and the hoe.
gentleman is fairly committed to a contest.
LIMERICK (CouNnt).—The independent Oppositioniets
have secured a candidate in the person of Mr. John G.
Adair' of Bellegrove, Queen's County. His address is
out. He pledges himself to "act in conjunction with
that party who are pledged to withhold taeir support
from every Government not making tenant right a Ca-
binet measure." Col. Dickson was solicited to stand,
but the gallant gentleman declined coming forward on the
present occasion. Mr. Monsell and Mr. De Vere, the
lste members are believed to be quite secure.
LISEURN.—The nomination takes place to-day. The
candidates are Mr. J. Richardson, a relative of the late
member, and also a Liberal, and Colonel Hogg, mode-
rate Conservative.

MAY° (CouNTT).—The coalition between the Cons(r-
vative candidate and the pet of St. Jarlath's, is now not
only admitted, but openly boasted as a piece of elec-
tioneering strategy beyond all praise. Archbishop and
bishop, parish priest and curate, have entered into a so-
lemn league for the purpose of insuring the downfali of
Colonel Higgins, whose defeat, with such a strange com-
bination arrayed against him, would certainly create no
surprise.

isTEw Ross.—Mr. Charles Townham and Mr. S.
Graves, of Liverpool, were nominated. A pall was de-
manded, which will take place to-morrow.
SLIGO (COUNTY).—Mr. Swift, like Captain Bellew,
having received episcopal absolution,
.is again first fa-
vourite with his party. The other canaidates are Sir It.
G. Booth and Mr. Cooper, Conservatives, and Mr.
Howley and Mr. Flanaean, Liberals. It is not likely
that the whole batch will go to the pell.
WATERFORD (CITY).—The polling Commences to-
morrow, and the contest promises to be a close one. A.
local paper stat-s that " Protestants and Dissenters are
divided in their support of Messrs. Barron, Hassard, and
Blake. The Old Ireland party are for O'Dwyer, Blake,
and Barron. The Young Irelanders are to a man against
O'Dwyer, and for Blake; but their second votes, it is
said are for either Hassard or Barron. The constituency
likely to vote are about 1,050. None of the candidates
except the Mayor can poll more than 500. How the
remainder will split their votes we do not presume t o
state.

WATERFORD (COUNTY).—A second edition of one of
the local papers, published on Saturday evening says :---•
" We understand that the Marquis of Waterford, Lord
Donoughmore, Mr. William Christmas, and Mr. James
Anderson, of Grazedieu Lodge, held a conference yester-
day, with the view of inducing the two latter gentlemen
to become candidates for the representation of the county..
i
The result is yet a secret, but it has leaked

RUSSIAN RAILWAY SCHEME.-It is stated to bar
been already ascertained that the French capitalists w
not be able to find a market at Paris for their first an
scription of 2,500,0001. to the Russian railway scheme,
and that they are to be relieved by sending some of the
amount back to St. Petersburg, where the demand, which
can of course be manufactured to suit the exigency o
the occasion, is said to be very great.
