MIDDLESEX ELECTION.

Yesterday evening, a'little past eight o'clock,
in c'onsetpienc'e of the paragra-ph that had appear-
ed in some of the Morning\ Papers, several Elec-
tors of Middle Sex and others met at the Crown
and Anchor Tavern, for the purpose of nominat-
ing thnllon. 11: G. Benne:Ca& a'Candidate for the
County-of Middlesex; Inquiry WAS made by se--
veral of.the Electors; by'whom the Meeting had
been called, to Which no satisfactory answer could
he returned. Major Cartwright came into the
room about half-past eight, and professed total
ignorance: After a little• time,. the Major was
voted into' the `chair; and it was stated to the
Meeting' that Mr. Bennet had arrived- in town,
and notice had been sent to bins of the object, of
the' Meeting. A.considerable time then elapsed',
the Meeting waiting in expectation 'ot hearing
frorn Mr. Bennet. No communication, however,
having been made on the part of that Gentleman,
a desultory conversation took plaCe relative 10
nominating a fit person for thnrepresentation of
the County of Middlesex... In' the midst of the
discussion a letter was pot into the bonds of the
Chairm'an, pUrporting to come from two persons
residing in Earl's-court, Dean-street; soliciting to
be employed as poll-clerks for the Candidate
whom the Meeting might please to nominate.

This hoax rather interruptea the gravity of the
proceedings. A person in the room then proposed.
Mr. H. Baring, who had just lost his election, as.
a fit Candidate tor,Middlesex, as it appeared they
could not expect any communication on the part
of Mr. Rennet. Another person thought Mr.
Pyrn a proper Candidate.
111 r, WETHERSTONR said, he had seconded the
nomination of Sir It Wilson, and asked if the
Meeting would follow the example of the Bo-
rongh, and draw up a requiiition for Mr. Whit-
bre d
Mr. P. WALKER thought Lord Ossulston should
be applied to. .
Alter come further observations from different
individuals, a requisition was drawn up, request-
ing that Mr. Cavendish, one of the Candidates for
Aylesbury, would consent to his being put in no-
mination for the county 4,t Middlesex.
Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and
the Meeting (the object of which seemed to be
unknown to the greater number of the individuals
present) then adjourned.

GENERAL ELECTION-' I RELAND)

(Front The Dui,lin Jonrn June 22)

City of Dublin —No third Candidate has yet ap-
peared for this City ; but we .are informed that
the friends of !be Hon. Colonel Chr. Hutchinson
intend to oppose him immediately ; in that case,
Messrs• Grattan and Sbaw will find it necessary to
exert themselves.

County of Dublin.—lt is now asserted that Sir
C. Dotn‘ille has joined Messrs. Hainiiton and
Talbot, whose election, in consequence, may be
deemed cettain. Uol. White has not yet fo-r-
-many withdrawn, but he has not the shadow of
success before him, and he might not to disturb
the tranquillity of the County by a hopeless con-
test. The fact of the case, as to the County of
Dublin, is, that Sir Compton will return Mr.
Talbot at present, and next Parliament the latter
twill transf(r his friends to the former. The
County is, therefore, reduce•! to the state of a
close Borough by this compact, which is calcu-
lated to secure it for Mr. Hans Hamilton, and
the representative of the Domville family in per-
petuity.
County of Armagh —The Hon. Hen. Caulfield
has now addressed the independent electors of Ar-
magh. He very prudently delayed his address
until he should ascertain how far it was in his
power to overcome the combination that has been
raised against him. The name of Charlemont,
so dear to Leland, will rally the friends of the
family, and Mr. Caulfield, trout his canvass, is
now e•Ontident of success.

Queen's County.—The representation of hut few
Counties has been more warmly CO !tested than
what the Queen's Coolly has former ly /been ;
if zeal and exertion conld scenic success, it
be difficult to d. termite on the reset occa•ion
which of the three Candidates could possibly suc-
ceed. The majorty.of the great Lan ,led oprie-
tors are timpie,tionably in favour of Sir 11. Parnell
and Mr. Pole; but Sir C. Coot, possesses pet baps
the most considerable personal interest, as web as
the tni,St considerable estate, of any individual
Gentleman in the Comity.—lt is corjectured that
Lords Lansdowne, Lipper Ossory, and De Vesey,
ill support Sir H. Parnell singly ; and that
Lords Buaingbain, Staahope, Por arlingt on, Sirs
It. Staples, W. Grace, A. Walsh, G. Pigot,
Messrs. Warburton, Cosby. Pigot and Grattan,
Kill support Sir H. Parnell and Mr. W.Pole,
jointly. Lords .Drogheda, Rossucore, Castlecoote,
General Dunne and Mr. Weldon, ate reckoned
among Sir C. Coote's. friends, who likewise pos-
sesses a larger portion of the secondary interests
of the County than perhaps either of the other
two Candidates. - "The memorable contest for this
County An the year-1795, in which the late Sir
John Parnell, Colonel Warburton, Mr., Grace,
and the present Lord Castlecoote weroCandidates,
could scarcely have been more distinguished for
zeal and exertion than what the present is likely
to prove. Since that period no third candidoe
has offered himself. The strong contest that was
expected in 1801 between Sir J. Parnell, Mr. W.
Pole, and Mr. Grace, was prevented by the pre-
mature and lamented death of the
,latter cientle-
man a short time previous to the Election.
King's County.—Mr. Malone has nut yet de-
clared his intentions to stand for the King's
County, but Mr. H. Lloyd, the brother-in-law of
Lord Ross, it is said, retie es, for Mr. P.lrson's„his
Lordship's brother. It is likely that Mr. 'arsons
and Mr. Bernard, the other Candidate, Will be
elected. ,

County of Wicklow.—Mr. Proby and Mr. W.
Parnell will be returned for \Vicklow without
opposition.
County Of Kildare.—This County will not be
contested. Lord W. Fitzgerald and Mr. R. La
Touche will be returner) again.
count of Meath,—Tile old Members, Lord
Bective and Sir M. tiounncrille, will be returned
without opposition.
County of Westmeath.—Colonel Packenhant and
Mr. Itocbfort will be opposed by Mr. Sterne
Tighe.
• City' of Limeiick.—Colonel J. P. Verelter, the
late Member, and Messrs. Tuthill and T. S. Rice,
are the new Candidates. The Election takes place
'on the 30th inst.

County of Kerry Election is fixed for the 29th
instant.
County Mayo Election will take place on the

County-of Cavan,—Messrs., Sneyd, Barry, and

County of Cork.'—=The Cork Advertiser of. Thurs-
day says--;“ Rumours are still afloat of Mr. Pon-
sonhy's stAnding for this County. They were
Prevalent for some time to-clay; but we could not
trace them to any good authority. The teste of
the Writ being dated on the. 15tb,-gives Mr.
Hare the advantage of the great' registry made
by his friends in,M4ccomp, and that part of the
