tested :—Mr. tYiBALIiESTON, and many others,
have been .named as Gitn:idates for it.
Th,e 'recent trial 'i)f strength at Maidstbne for

The Inhabitants of Bedford are also likely to
be amused, as the present Members ate to be op-
posedand there is some expectation that Co-
lonel OSBORN will stand again for BedfOrdshire.

Sir JOHN JACKSON and Mr. JEN KINSON will,
it is said, be returned, vvitbont opposition, for
Dover.

There are various rumours as to Ando:7er, but
we cannot smppose ii possible that any attempt
will be made, in any quarter, to oppose the return
of Mr. rELLowES and Mr. Ait4ToN
. .
Mr. P. MILDMAY and Mr. MEYLER are men-
tioned as secure for Winchester ; but whether
any or'dosition will be made to the present Mem-
bers for Hampshire is not certain.
Mr. BOOTLE WILBRAHAM is spoken OF as likely
to be proposrd for Liverpool—in case of a seces-
sion of either of the present Members ; and Mr.
PATTEN is looked up to as the next new Candi-
date for the County of Lancaster.
Tregony will be contested, and some of the
other Cornish Boroughs ; for, from the shock
given at the last General Election to some of the
ow influences in this quarter, great uncertainty
prevails as to their being able to carry the next
Election.

Mr. \lranian cannot expect any great support
from the Freemen of Sandwich, if they recollect
his conduct on various occasions in which they
were interested.=-Mr. WARRE may have strong
claims on the Inhabitants of Ramsgate, but surely
he has none to the layour of the Freemen of
Sandwich.

It is said there is an opening at Leicester for
one, if not two, Can'lidates—the Gentleman
who intended to offer himself to the Protestant
Interests in that Loyal Borough having deter-
mined to stand for an ancient City in the \Vest
of England.

Mr. G. ALLAN bas declared his intention to pro-
ceed to a poll for the City of Durham, not with-
standint; Mr. M. A. TAYLoa's certainty of suc-
cess.—Mr. R. ‘VHARTON.S return is considered

as secure.

The PRINCE REGENT, after a lengthened' pro-
menade, was this day on horsebAck, but not in

WINDSOR, JAN. 21.—Yesterday the QUEEN and
Princess ELIZABETH, attended by their Ladies in
Waiting, took an airing to Frog more. This day
being remarkably fine, her Majesty, Princess
Elizabeth, and the Ladies in Waiting, rode out in
a coach and four au the Maidenhead-road, and
returned to the Castle to dinner. Princess
Augusta, with her attendants, took an airing on
horseback in the Park.

On Tuesday, the 14th inst. the tail of Aber-
(leen was broke, and four of the prisoners escaped.
It appears to have been effected by means of an
accomplice, who had contrived to secret himself
in the place where the bell is rung, from which
having penetrated through a strong arch to the
room below, where the culprits were confined,
they thus got easily to the leaded part of the roof
of tile New Inn, from which they tval descended
by the bell-rope, which was found suspended in
the morning. One of them, of the name of
M'Craw, surrendered himself in the forenoon, but
the other three are still at large.
On Wednesday the 14th instant, about one
o'clock, a respectable manufacturer Iron, Huffily,
in Aberdeen on business, rose, and in his sleep
drew the window of his bed-room, in a house in.
the Gallowgate, and was precipitated from the
second floor, on the stone steps at the entry door
below, and had his skull fractured in the most
shocking mannur. A' medical Gentleman imme-
diately attended, but the unfortunate sufferer was
so severely injured,- that nothing could be done
for him, and be expired abou,t two bouts after- •
wards.
