PROVINCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

GENERAL ELECTION.

Lord Grimstone, the sou of the Earl of Vernlam, is
canvassing St. Alban's.
Colonel Jolliffe is a candidate for the represensation of
Surrey, from which Mr. Pallmer retires.
It is likely there will be a severe contest for the Bo-
rough of Bedford; Captain Polhill, of Howbury Hall,
/near Bedford, has come forward to oppose the Russell and
Whitbread interest.

The friends of Mr. Frederick Pollock say, that he will
oppose the present members for Cambridge University.
Sir Thomas E. Winnington, Bart. has resigned the
representation of the county of Worcester, in consequence
of ill health ; and Thomas H. Foley, Esq. has offered
himself a candidate in Sir Thomas's room. _

Lord Stopford has declined the honour of further re-
presenting in Parliament the county of Wexford ; and
C. H. Butler Clarke S. Wandesford, Esq. has announced
his intention of retiring from the county of Kilkenny.
Lord Belgmve retires from Chester, and has offered
himself to the county. Sir Philip Grey Egerton is can-
vassing the city, and, from the support he has received
from all parties, there can be no doubt of his return. The
hon. Mr. Grosvenor will be the other Member.

There is no truth in the report that Sir James Scarlett,
Attorney-General, intends offering himself a candidate
for the city of Westminster.
The Duke of Newcastle has, it is said, undertaken to
return Sir Charles Wetherell to the next Parliament free
of expense.
Mr. Robert Grant has left town for Scotland, in the
hope of securing his re-election, but in which he is to be
opposed by all the weight of government and its obedient
satellites.

Mr. Pollock, it is said, takes with him to Cambridge
the whole interest of the Lord Chancellor, who is un
doubtedly the most powerful of living canvassers.
Admiral Sotheron and Mr. Savile Lumley again offer
themselves for Nottinghamshire. Mr. Denison declines,
but pledges himself to come forward on a future occasion.
Lord Rancliffe resigns the representation of Notting-
ham, and Mr. Denman, the tried and eloquent advocate of
popular rights, has, we are happy to state, been applied to,
and has returned a favourable answer. Mr. Birch intends
again to offer himself to the electors.— Derby Reporter.
Hughes Hughes, Esq. is to be put in nomination for
the city of Oxford, and from the numerous supporters
which be has obtained, he stands a very good chance of
being returned.
Hugh Dick, Esq. retires from the borough of Maldon,
in favour of his brother, Quintin Dick, Esq. who, upon
the election of the former, pledged himself to the electors
that, at the dissolution of the present Parliament, he
should again offer himself as a candidate for their suf-
frages. A deputation waited upon Mr. Conyers, re-
questing him to oppose Mr. Q. Dick ; but Mr. C. re-
plied that he was so well satisfied with the Parliamentary
conduct of that gentleman,
.that he wished to no other
Representative for Maldon ; and, therefore, it would only
be putting the borough to an unnecessary excitement,
and creating a useless expense.
C LA a E.—We have just received a communication from
a person likely to be accurately informed. He states
that the difference between O'Connell and Major Macna
mare, as to a pledge, was arranged, and that it was not
unlikely O'Connell might address the electors of Clare
in a day or two.—Morning Register.
The Fife boroughs are to be disturbed by an offer on
the part of Lord Loughborough, the Earl of Roslyn's
son, to represent them in Parliament. We doubt whe-
ther this offer will be well received by a district which
has been represented for twenty-four years, with their en-
tire satisfaction, by Sir Ronald Crawford Ferguson.—
Caledonian Mercury.
In Lanarkshire, the great inte.ests of Hamilton and
Douglas are, as usual, at issue ; and on the retirement
of Sir Michael Shaw Stewart, who stands for Renfrew-
shire, the Hon. Chas. Douglas, and Sir John Maxwell, of
Pollok, are to become opposing candidates. Dumbarton-
shire, at this moment vacant by the death of Mr. Camp-
bell, younger, of Succoth, has found candidates in Mr.
Colquhoun, of Kellermont, and Lord W. Graham, second
son of the Duke of Montrose. Capt. M`Douall, younger,
of Logan, and Sir Andrew Agnew, of Lochnaw, are
to contest the county of Wigtown, the present Mem-
ber of which, Sir W. Maxwell, of Monreith, has not
yet declared his intentions. Mr. C. Fergusson has again
started for the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright, and a keen
contest may he expected. Colonel Blair has again of-
fered himself for Ayrshire. Mr. Elliot Lockhart having
announced his intention of retiring from Parliament, the
county of Selkirk is under canvas for Mr. Pringle, of
Whitebank. Dumfries is to be transferred from Sir W.
J. Hope to his son, Mr. J. J. Hope Johnston. of Annan-
dale; and, in the North, we find Invernesashire likely to
be contested by Macleod, of Macleod, against Mr. Chas.
Grant.

STIIII.IIIO, July B.—Thursday last, Robert Downie,
Esq. M.P. for the burgh, gave an elegant entertainment
to the magistrate and town council of Stirling, .
Inn. After spending the evening with the greatest
Irity and good feeling, the company broke up
hour. Mr. Downie subscribed ten guineas for
fords in the Forth. Another candidate of the

spectability, and who is in favour with the Duke
lington, Lord Melville, &c. will appear in a few
canvass for the representation of the burgh.
ordered 30 guineas to be subscribed for clearing
'and facilitating the navigation of the Forth..
Journal.

MON T ROS z. —Another candidate to represent
northern burghs has started up in the person .
Honourable John Kennedy Erskine of Dun, second
of the Earl of Cassilis, and standing in the relation
son-in-law to his Majesty. He has sent a letter '
Town Council, intimating that he has resolved
land solicit their suffrages at the ensuing election
from bad health, he had not been able to wait

on the Members of Council ; but he expected

the course of this week.

Bum lex, July 6.—YeaterdaySir F. Blake,
Beresfoul, Frederick Gye, Feq. of London, and
mont, Esq. were announced as candidate. for
sentation of this place. The last, unwilling
the Baronet, has withdrawn to-day. His party
ing out for another candidate, and, being strong,
probably give the others a hard run.

We have the pleasure to state that the whole
