ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

ilotToN.— On dit, that the Conservatives of this
borough are in communication with Mr. Temple, Q.C.,
her Majesty's Attorney-General for the County Palatine
of Lancaster, with a view to that learned gentleman
becoming one of the Conservative candidates.

BRIDGNORTII.-By the recent Reform Bill the borough
of Bridgnorth will be represented by one member only.
Mr. Whitmore (C.) will again solicit a renewal of the
suffrage of his old constituents ; and Mr. John Pritchard
(L.) has also signified his intention of contesting the
borough.

LIVERPOOL.—Lord Sandon made his appearance on the
Liverpool Exchange on Thursday afternoon, accompanied
by several leading Conservatives. He met with a most
hearty reception from the crowd of merchants and others
assembled in the newsroom and on the flags.
CHATHAM.—The Conservatives intend bringing forward
Vice-Admiral G. Elliot, late Superintendent of Ports-
mouth Dockyard, to contest this borough with Mr. A. J.
Otway (L.), the present member.
ELGIN AND NAIRNSHIRE.—Major Cumming Bruce (C.)
will retire, and the Hon. James Grant, of Grant, will
come forward in the Conservative interest No Liberal
candidate has come forward yet.
EAST SURREY.—The Hon. William Brcdrick and Mr.
Peek will come forward as the Conservative candidates.
The Hon. P. J. L. King (L.) and Mr. C. Buxton (L.), the
sitting members, have signified their intention of renewing
their claims to the suffrages of the electors.
EAST SUFFOLK.—It has been agreed to send a deputa-
tion to ask Mr. George Tomline (L.) to come forward in
conjunction with Colonel Adair (L.) Mr. Tomline has
hitherto represented Shrewsbury, and was one of the
Adullamites.

DOLCHESTER.—Mr. Gurdon Rebow and Dr. Brewer have
'peen chosen as the Liberal candidates.

NEWPORT (ISLE OF WIGHT).—The two sitting members,
Mr. C. W. Martin (L.) and Mr. R. W. Kennard (C.)
have both expressed their intention to contest the one
seat which is left to the borough under the new Reform
Act.

TAUNTON.—The united Liberal party intend to support
Mr. Barclay (one of the present members), and Mr.
Henry James.
LEEDS.—It is stated that Mr. Wheelhouse will consent
to become a candidate in the Conservative interest for
Leeds, if a properly-signed requisition be presented to
him.

CHESTER.—The announcement by Mr. W. H. Gladstone
that it is not his intention to solicit the suffrages of the
electors at the coming election has been followed by an
address by Mr. E. G. Salisbury. Mr. Salisbury is a Chan.
cery barrister, and represented the borough in the Liberal
interest from 1857 to 1859. It is expected that the
Conservatives will bring forward a candidate, the announce-
ment of whose name is daily expected.
PRESTON.—Sir T. G. Fern-tor Hesketh, Bart. (C.)
announces that he will shortly be in Preston to address
the electors. The Conservatives have not yet announced
a second candidate in the place of the Hon. F. A.
Stanley (C.), who is offering for North Lancashire. There
are three Liberals in the field—Mr. J. F. Leese, Lord E.
Howard, and Mr. German, but it is not expected that the
latter will go to the poll.
SHREWSBURY. Messrs. Clement and Tomline, the
present Liberal members, have announced their intention
to seek re-election.
MEDICAL 31.P.'s.—A general feeling has for some time
revoited among some of the leading members of the
House of Commons that there should be in the next Parlia-
ment several medical men of known scientific repute and good
social position to assist the Government in the discussion of
the many important questions relatingto the public health and
other sanitary matters likely to occupy the attention of the
Legislature. It was, therefore, with pleasure we heard that
Dr. Forbes Winslow had consented to stand for the represen-
tation of tho United Universities of Aberdeen and Glasgow.
It was not until within the last few days that Dr. Winslow
was made acquainted with the fact that the Lord Advocate
had been previously in the field for the representation of
these universities, and had received numerous promises of
support.- -Under these circumstances Dr. Winslow has felt it
his duty to retire from the contest, not wishing to oppose the
Government and divide the Conservative interest. We there-
fore hope that Dr. Winslow may find some other constituency
in the United Kingdom disposed to send him as their repre-
sentative to tho House of Commons. It is well known that
in former times physicians of great celebrity officially con-
inected with the Court occupied seats in Parliament, thus
proving that the functions of the physician and legislator
may be successfully united.—Standard.

Several actions at law are, it is said, likely to arise
incidentally out of the Bristol election. Two local papers
are threatened with actions for libel, and tha Conservatives
threaten, in a similar action, certain persons concerned in
the issue of a sovere placard.

Two men have been apprehended in the neighbour-
rood of Barnsley on suspicion of being concerned in the
poaching affray at Cudworth, on Sunday morning last,
when Emmanuel Cherry and John Jagger, gamekeepers,
were seriously wounded. Ou inquiry yesterday it was
stated that both the injured gamekeepers were somewhat
better than on tho previous day.

A GUIDE KILLED AT MONT BLANC.—An ascent
of part of Mont Blanc last week led to a deplorable acci-
dent. A foreign family had left Chamounix for the
Grand Mulets, under the direction of the guide Edouard
Simon. On arriving at the Pierre-h-l'Echelle, situated at
the upper part of the Glacier des Bossons, the party was
surprised by a fall of stones from the Aiguille du Midi.
They were in great peril, but the guide, regardless of
himself, rushed forward and sought out for them a shelter
under some jutting rocks, and had just placed the last
person in security when a large block struck the unfortu-
nate man on the head and hurled him into a crevasse
adjoining. The others shortly after returned to the village,
and the next day the body of the guide was found dread-
fullycrushed, and brought back to his house, accompanied
