PROVINCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

• OENNRAL NLICCTION.
CHELMSFORD, JOLT 7.—Mr. Long Wellesley was
received at this place in the most popular manner ; they
itook the horses from his carriage and drew him out of the
Mown, and people from Hocking met him about a mile on
this side, and drew him in, with a band of music in
attendance.
J. S Lumley, Esq. M.P. for this county, has arrived
at the seat of Lord Rancliffe, Bunney, with the intention
of paying his respects to his constituents, and soliciting a
continuance of their support at the ensuing election ; and
we are authorized to state, that it is Mr, Lumley's deter-
mination, in the event of a contest, to afford every free-
holder in the county an opportunity of recording his vote.
—Newark Times.
THE NEWARK MEMBERS' CANvsss.—Never was
seen any thing so truly dull and cheerless, and must
so have appeared to the members, as their canvass has
been. With one or two exceptions, they have gene-
rally been attended with but few of influence or re-
spectability in the town ; and it is a matter of general
surprise, giving Mr. Sadler credit for having some
feeling, how he could conscientiously continue it, when
his ears were frequently assailed with " How can you
expect our support ? Are we spaniel dogs, that you
think we fawn and cringe to the hand that would de-
stroy us ?" As for Mr. Willoughby, he is more to be
pitied : he is attended by a respectable, and from all
we have heard or known, a worthy and valuable man
—we mean Mr. Handley ; and really we felt for him,
for we saw him frequently stand aloof when his pre-
sence would have been desirable. Altogether the can-
vass has been the most grating and most unsatisfactory,
and it will, probably, be a lesson to tyranny for the one
party, and a warning to the other, that they sanction it
by allowing themselves to be called the " United ln-
terest."—Newark Times.

SUDBURY.—This borough will be the scene of a se-
vere contest. Mr. Walrond, one of the late members,
has just taken the field. Mr. Macleod retires, and is
canvassing for his native county in Scotland. An Essex
gentleman intends to offer himself ; and a gentleman
upon the independent interest has declared his intention
to canvass the electors immediately ofter the funeral of
his late Majesty. Sir John Walsh has been very favour-
ably received upon the corporation interest, and has every
prospect of success.
HONITON. —Sir George Warrender and Mr. Guest
have commenced an active canvass for this borough, Mr.
Lott, one of the present members, having announced his
intention of retiring.
COLCHESTER.—There was a meeting of the freemen
of Colchester at the Kent and Esssex Tavern on Mon-
day, at which a resolution was proposed, disapproving of
the political conduct of Mr. D. W. Harvey ; but that
gentleman having moved that all persons who were ad-
verse to him should leave the room, it appeared that he
had a large majority of supporters.
OXFORD (University)--We understand that Sir R.
Peel has declined to stand anothe. •antest. This deter-
mination is ascribed iu some journals to an intention of
elevating the right hon. baronet to the peerage—an ho-
nour
which has been repeatedly offered to him and as re-
peatedly declined, from unwillingness to be ennobled dur-
ing the lifetime of his father. This reason, it is true, no
longer exists; but when it is considered that Sir R. Peel
is how the sole stay of the Government in the Lower
House, it seems unlikely that the present moment should
be chosen to remove him from it. To an Irish peerage,
however, to which Sir Robert's long services no doubt
entitle him, this objection does not apply ' • and it would
be a stepping-stone, whenever he might feel disposed to
avail himeelf of it, for his elevation to the House of Lords.
—Brighton Gazette.
It appears by the Evening Mail, that the " friends of
Mr. George Moore" are a-begging for a second Protes-
tant candidate. They will have cause to rejoice if they
succeed in returning the tactician of the Registry-office,
and the defender of the worst shines of the corporation.
How grossly absurd it is to continue, at this period, the
foolish slang of " Protestant candidate !" What matters
it now the creed to which an aspirant for the representa-
tion of the people may belong, provided he have the
ability and the disposition to be useful to his country
The day has happily passed when the people could be
gulled by sectarian recommendation.—Deblin Morning
Advertiser.

Mr. Steel has published an address to the trades of
this city, soliciting their support for Mr. Spring Rice at
the ensuing election.—Limerick Chronicle.
Mr. Henry Grattan, and Mr. Shaw, the Recorder,
have already addressed the electors of Dublin, anti other
candidates are spoken of.—Dublin Morning Advertiser.

A FAc.r.—Notwithstanding the general correctness of
Parliamentary reports, Mr. Sadler, Mr. Trent, and some
other members, engaged a Mr. Hodges specially to re--
1
port their speeches verbatim ; but upon reading them
when so reported, they were found to be such sheer non-
sense, that the practice was speedily discontinued.—
Newark Times.
'fhe spirit of discord got among a religious congrega-
tion in this City, not many hundred yards from the Con-
duit, on Thursday evening last—inasmuch that the
Preacher took refuge in the pulpit stairs, a certain officio/
member in the clerk's desk, and the pastor, with a strong
box, were at length guarded home by constables. We
hope no serious mischief is brewing among those worthy
members of the font.—lieter Alfred.
STATE OF THE Pooa.—Our recent accounts have
not been exaggerated—our suggestions, we are happy to
find, are about being acted upon. To-morrow a meeting
takes place in the Town-hall, for the purpose of adopting
means for the alleviation of the distress so generally
and severely felt by the poor at present. We have been
informed that the distress amongst the poor labouring
class in the country is beyond description, and that while
families have been compelled to become ineedieente.-i-
Fermanagh Reporter of Thursday.
In several districts of the Queen's County the lower
orders are actually perishing from famine ! They haat
been tempted into the commission of outrages by thek
distress, and their proceedings are now assuming a me*
dangerous character from a secret system of organisa-
tion which seems to regulate them. Should their out
firings not be mitigated by some speed relief, there
will be no safety for property, perhaps for life, in this
county ; as it is, the state of things is frightful.--Dub-
lin Morning Adoertiter.
71 be exertions which have been made by the Relief
Committee to give food and employment to the.=
Clonmel, have been unremitting ; Over 1,000
have been fed twice each day during the last week, and
between 300 and 400 persons employed in shi
roads and other useful works in this town
hood ; the Connie' Relief Fund now amounts to upwards
of 8001. but the weekly expenditure at preeent.is nearly
1501.—Tipperary Free Press.
