ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

PRESTON.—The tumour as to the withdrawal of the
Hon. F. A. Stanley (C.) from the representation
of this borough gains ground, and Lieutenant-Colonel
Cross, of Redcar, is mentioned as a likely Conservative
candidate.

ANGLESEY.—Sir R. W. Bulkeley (L.) will retire. The
Hon. Owen Stanley (L.), now member for Beaumaris, is
expected to offer himself for the vacancy.
BEDFORD.—Mr. Thomas Barnard (L.) who for some
time represented this borough, has declined to become a
candidate. Mr. Whitbread (L.) again solicits the suf-
frages of the electors. It is generally believed that a
second Liberal candidate will be proposed. Captain
Polhill-Turner, of Howbury-hall, will be a Conservative
candidate, but whether a second will be brought forward
is as yet unknown.
BERKSHIRE. —At an influential meeting of the leading
Liberals of this county, held on Saturday afternoon, it
was resolved that the Hon. Auberon Herbert (brother to
the Earl of Carvarvon) should be the second Liberal can-
didate. Mr. Herbert is an advanced Liberal, and his
corning forward will tend to unite and consolidate the
Liberal party. A requisition to Mr. Herbert was very
numerously signed.

BOSTON.—At a meeting of the Liberal election com-
mittee, a resolution was unanimously passed recommend-
ing that Mr. Parry be adopted as one of the Liberal
candidates at the next election. It was also unanimously
resolved to invite Mr. John Hinde Palmer, Q.C., to come
forward as a candidate with Mr. Parry.

CAITIINESS.-Mr. Traill, M.P. (L.), has announced his
intention of not again asking the renewal of that confi-
dence which the constituency of this county have shewn
him so long.

CANTERBURY.—The present members are both Conser-
vatives (Mr. Butler-Johnstone and Mr. Huddleston), but
the former has given much offence to his supporters by
voting with Mr. Gladstone in every division on the Irish
Church question. Both, however, will present themselves
for re•elettion. The Liberals will bring forward Major
Lyon. The chances are that the Liberals will gain one
seat, and that Mr. Butler-Johnstone will be defeated.

ITERRFORDSUIRE.—This is a three-cornered constituency,
and the political representation is not likely to be altered.
Mr. King King, the senior Conservative member, retires,
and it is understood the Hon. Mr. Hanbury, Lord Bate-
man's brother,will be nominatedin his stead, Sir J. Bailey
and Mr. Biddulph being re-elected.
EAST LOTHIAN.—Lord William Ray (L.) has replied to
the memorial sent from the meeting at Haddington, that
if afair number of signatures is attached to the requisition
he will have no hesitation in contesting the county.
KILMARNOCK BURGHS.—It is believed that Mr. Bouverie
(L.) will walk over the course.

WORCESTER.— Mr. Laslett, the unsuccessful candidate in
the late contest for East Worcestershire, has condi-
tionally accepted a requisition to stand for Worcester city
in the Conservative interest. Mr. Padmore retires, and
Mr. Sherrill seeks re-election. The other candidates are
Sir F. Lycet* and Alderman Hill (Liberals).
OXFORD CITY.—The Right Hon. E. Cardwell has deter-
mined not to attend any public-house meetings that may
be held in the various wards for the purpose of furthering
his election. Mr. Harcourt, in presence of his numerour
committee, made a similar statement. Dr. Deane (C.) has
begun his canvass.
