ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

CAMBRIDGE. - The Liberals will bring forward Mr.
Torrens, who has already unsuccessfully contested the
borough twice, and Mr. Fowler, a barrister-at-law. The
sitting members Mr. Powell (C.) and Mr. Gorst (C.) will
most likely seek re-election.
DEVONPORT.— Lord Eliot and Mr. Montague Chambers
are not expected to offer themselves for re-election. The
Western Morning News mentions the names of Mr. Thos.
Brassey and Mr. J. R. Jeffery, of Liverpool, as probable
candidates in the Liberal interest.

OXFORD COUNTY.-Mr. Cartwright (L.) will become
candidate for the county at the ensuing general election.
Nonwicll.—A stormy meeting of the Liberals has de-
clared in favour of Mr. Warner and Mr. 'Ellett, two of
the three Liberal candidates now before the electors.

TOWER HAMLET& —ll.lr."Wig;rani and Mr. F. Green, ship-
owners, Mr. John Holt, brewer, Mr. John Charrington,
chairman of the board of guardians of the Stepney Union,
and others, each carrying on an extensive business in the
borough, Lave been named as Conservative candidates.

Wl:sr KENT.-Mr. Charles Henry Mills, of the well.
known banking firm, will come forward in conjunction
with Mr. John G. Talbot, for the new division of West
Kent, in opposition to Sir John Lubbock (L.), and Mr.
Angerstein (L.)

LYMINCTON.—The Hon. Thomas Norton (L.) has
addressed a meeting at the Angel Hotel ,when he announced
his intention of again contesting the borough. He was
very warmly received.
MonrE-rir.—Sir George Grey (L.) has addressed his con-
stituents. Speaking on the Irish Church question, the
hon. baronet defended the course which the Liberal party
had taken. It was one surrounded by immense diffi-
culties and involved many and various interests, and
required therefore great discretion, judgment, and
moderation in dealing with it. Having alluded to the
proposals of Mr. Pitt and the Government of Lord
Melbourne, Sir George Grey admitted that what might at
one time have proved a satisfactory settlement of the ques-
tion could not now be adopted, and that therefore he
had not hesitated in giving his support to Mr. Gladstone's
propositions. He trusted that in the reformed House of
Commons the question would be approached and dealt
with in the right spirit—the spirit of sympathy with the
feelings of the majority of the people in Ireland. He did
not, he added, share the apprehensions which had been
expressed by many that the. disestablishment of the Church
in Ireland must bring about a like disestablishment in
England. A vote of confidence in the right hon. baronet
was passed.
NORTH WILTS.—The Marquis of Worcester (C.) has.
announced that he will not proceed with his candidature
against Lord Charles Bruce (L.)
WAKEFIELD. A meeting of Liberal electors has
declared in favour of Mr. Somerset Beaumont by a large
majority.

WESTMINSTER. Admiral Rous is spoken of as the
second Conservative candidate.

DUDLEY.—It has been rumoured that the Hon. Major
Anson, at present M.P. for Lichfield, is about to contest
the borough in the Liberal interest. The Conservatives
will probably start a candidate.

WAREHAM.—During the last few days another address
has been issued, making the third candidate now before the
constituency. The first was Mr. J. S. W. S. E. Drax
(C.) ; the second from Mr. J. H. M. Ca'craft, the present
Liberal member; and the third is from Mr. T. F.
Fremantle (C.) Mr. Fremantle is brother-in-law of
the Earl of Eldon, and will have the support of the Eldon
estates.

BEWDLEY.—It is rumoured that Mr. Lloyd is about to
resign sooner than split the Liberal interest ; consequently
the struggle between Sir Richard A. Glass (C.) and Mr.
Hemming (L.) will be a severe one, the balance of power
betwaen the Liberals and Conservatives being so nearly
equal in this borough.

ANOTIILR DEATH BY DROWNING IN AY DP
PARiC—On Sunday forenoon the body of a man, named
William Fitz;erald, a bricklayer, of 3, Crawford-street,
Marylebone, Was dragged out of the Serpentine. On
Saturday night lie had swum acrass the river, and was
returning, when, within forty yards of the bank, he sank.
The drags of the Royal Humane Society were used and
the river searched until eleven o'clock at night, but the
body could not be found. The search was resumed on
Sunday morning. The body was found about eleven
o'clock, and conveyed to St. George's dead-house.
The statue of Lord Palmerston, to be unveiled at
Romsey on Tuesday next by Earl Russell, has been placed
on its pedestal in the centre of the market-place. The figure
is of bronze, 9 feet high, and is from the foundry of Messrs.
Prince and Co., of Southwark. On the pedestal are the
words " Palmerston. Born 1784 ; died 1865." The like-
ness is considered admirable, and it is admitted by those
persons who have heard his lordship when in his most
animated mood, that Mr. Noble, the artist, has exactly
caught the attitude he generally assumed at ruck times,
the right hand slightly extended and partly open.

A dispute between the operative joiners and car-
penters of Leeds and their employers, as to the rate of
wags and the nitudwr of wo,king hours, has formed
the :übj, ct of arbitration. Tho men and the masters, not
leing able to agree, mutually referred the matters in dispute
for settlement to Mr. Rupert Kettle, County Court
Judge for Worcestershire, and that gentleman suc-
ceeded in bringing the matters in dispute to an
sm;cablo settlement, but without himself giving a deciding
vote. The masters werq. represented by eight dele-
gates of their own body, and the workmen by a like number
of their own body. Concessions were made on each side,
and a mutual understanding come to, which is to continue
for two years. It was also agreed that for the future the
Wolverhampton system of arbitration and conciliation shall
be adopted, so as to bring disputes between masters and men
to an amicable settlement.
