WitirstmE.—The contest is likely to be serere
in thiS county on the eirsuing General Election.
The Candidates are Mr. %V. LONG WELLESLEY,
Mr. BENNET, and Mr. METRUEN. It SCCHIS
that some anonymous libeller, has attacked the
character of the first of these Gentlemen, but has
defeated his own malice, for in consecinence of the
false assertions of the clandestine assassin of cha-
racter, the tenants of Mr. LONG, of Wiltshire,
Dorsetshire, and Hampshire, have come forward
with high eulogitani on his conduct as a kind and
liberal landlord. May all secret slanderers be
thus punished with mortification, and contempt

ROBERT WILSON assembled yesterday at the Three
Tons Tavern, Southwark, in order to pass some
Resolutions for the purpose of promoting his elec-
tion as one of the Members for that Borough, on
the ensuing General Election. Sir ROBERT WIL-
SON addressed the Meeting, and introduced all the
usual topics of abuse against Ministers, but cau-
tiously forbore to touch upon his charge against
BUONAPARTE, of having murdered the Turks in
cold blood, awl poisoning his own troops in
Egypt, and the grounds on which' he recanted
that charge. . The rest of the Speakers were
Messrs. BENNET, LAMBTON, WAITHMAN, 811(1
other patriotic Worthies of the Same description.
Iu the course of his speech Sir ROBERT WILSON
stile( the Septennial Parliament an usurpation, and
promised to promote more Isequent elections ; so
that it may be infetred 'hat he is for Annual Par-
liaments, if not Universal Suffrage, and then
" Huzza for hurley4urley innovation," annual
riotings, and " confusion worse confounded."

last various sums of money are advertised to he
lent on mortgage ; among them MR at only
four per cent. Li Lancashire, and in many other
ditriets, large sums at that low rate of interest
are likewise to be had on'eligible securities.

It affords us much satisfaction to find that there
is an intention to remunerate Mr. HENRY TAYLOR,
of North Shields, for the important services he
hai rendered to. the Shipping interest, and that a
Meeting is to be held at that place for that put_
pose.
