Sir TnomAs Tutirort declines standing for
Surrey, unless he should be permitted to exercise
his duty without any restraint upon
conduct, and wholly free from expence. A manly
independent spirit) and a judgment unrestrained
by narrow interests, are what ought to recom-
mend a Candidate to popular favour, and if these
are' the qnalities which Sir Thomas TURTON pos-
sesses, he has a right to expect support=-but,
alas I there is a veryigrcat difference between pro-
tessious before and conduct after, and the Elec-
tors of Surrey, as well as throughout tile Em-
pire, cannot be too cautious and too wary in the
choice of those to whom the interest and honour
of that-Empire are to be entrusted. •
Alderman Iliac'', it is said, has announced his
intention to oiler himself as a Candidate for the
City of London .on tire Dissolution of Parliament,

principles, abilitieg, experience, loyalty and pub-
lic spirit.
Sir GEORGE ALDERSON was requested by a body
of respectable Inhabitants of Westminster! to
offer Himself as n Candidate for that City, but he
declined on account of his official Sittiation as
Iteriff of -Middlt sex and returning Officer for
Westminster.

Mr. DENISON is likely to be successful in
Surrey. It is said that " honest JACK FULLER,"
as he is styled, has been invited to offer himself,
and the popularity of his character, his social
qualities and hospitable spirit, would most pro-
bably ensure his success.
The Hon. JOHN SoMERS COCKS is strongly
supported in his canvass for the City of Hereford.
Mr. WAITHMAN has renewed his canvass for
the City. It has been said that, keeping a retail
shop, he does not stand it) a situation suitable to
the dignity of a Legislator. In this commercial
Country, however, such an objection is not so valid
as that arising from the known political principles
of the Candidate. But even in that respict there
is no great reason for apprehension, for it re-
quires very different abilities to secure the cla-
mours of a Common Hall from those requisite
to make an impression on the House of Commons.
Lord ERSKINE, who w:!s eloquent at the Bar,
made a very sorry figure in tie House of Com-
mons, and he appears to little advantage in the

minated a Candidate for Westminster.

BRIDGE, are the Candidates who oppose the pre-
sent Members for Yarmouth.

Sir Ut..vsscs B. BURGH is prosecuting a very
active, and, we tinderstand, a very successful
campaign, in his Canvass for this county. Wed('
not hesitate to say that we wish Sir ULYSSES

than that of being the representative of one of ►he
oldest families in the county of Carlow.—(Corlow
Morning Post.)
