Mr. LIDDELL is highly esteemed for his
p,rsonal qualifications, ' anal for his Loyal and
Constitutional principles, and there is little doubt
hut that he will receive the warm, zealous, and
general support of all the Northamberland Free-
1161ders who are antious; to support and maintain
ihe ConstittitiOu of the Country, 'as now esta-
birdied. We wish the Freeholders of Durham
were as likely tobe,affOrthid a similar opportimity.
The'Eleetors of Great Yarniouth are determin-
ed to haVe.a new Member—but of Mr. LAdores
success there appears no doubt.
, For Maidstorie it is generally understood that
Sir EGERToN I3ltvirit‘Es. and Mr. iIOBARTS wall
be returned. '
For Rochester it is .lionght Mr. CALCRA'T and
Lord litivrim.; will succeed. '
At, St aff.ord the contest will not be so severe as
teas expected. It appears certain that Mr. BE'N-
SoN will be returned : indeed; when it is recol-
lected how faithfully he has served his Con-
stituents, and how Sieaddy he maintains the
Phu estant Interests of this great Empire, no
doubt could be entertained of hiS success.

ORIGINAL ANECDOTE OF THE LATE 131.91-10 P OF
LANDAFF.—The late Bishop Watson, shortly he-
fore his retirement, took lodgings in Cani-
bridge, at a, house adjoining an alehouse, the
sign of which being BISHOP BLAISII, he was in-
duced to compromise with the tavern-keeper
to take it down, as thinking it derogatory to the
Episcopal dignity, which occasioned the follow-
ing Epigram (tom Dr. Mansell, now Bishop of
Bristol.
