Esszit.—There ate now three candidates in the field for the ho-
nour of representing this county, and a long, arduous, and spirited
contest is anticipated. They Mlle forward each on a particular
interest. Mr. Western relies on the support of the IVhigs and agti-
culturists. Colonel Tyrrell is the son of Sir John Tyrrell, Bart. of
Boreham' a staunch Tory. The lion. Mr. Wellesley must, there-
fore, look for support, not to the heads of either party, but to the
freeholders, with whom he has certainly become highly popular.
The High Sheriff has appointed Friday week for holding the elec-
tion. There are about 9,000 freeholders in the county, and any
thing like a vigorous contest would cost each candidate •20,0001. at
least.

BIALDON.-Mr. T. 11. hennard and Mr. Quintin Dick, will walk
over the course, there being no third man. The election is tixcd
for Friday next.

The tug of war will be strong at ',ewes. We adhere to our first
impression, that the order of the poll will be as follows: Shelley,
Kemp, Donovan.—Brightgn Gaseitc.

In the county of Cumberland all will be peace, and, we think we,
may say, unanmity. Sir John Lowther and Sir James Graham will
be returned without opposition.— Caraberland Packet.
At Carlisle, the Blues are at war among themselves. Mr. How-
ard has been here in the !eluting-strings of Papa—not he of Rome
—who seems anxious to guard the young candidate from the dangers
which beset inexperience on its assumption of the duties and digni-
ties of manhood. The youthful aspirant, however, let off a fine
flyaway speech, and knows how to deal in magnificent promises.
Yet all is not gold that glitters; nor is the Carlisle election likely to
be, as our country friends say, " all honey and butter." There will
be a pretty fair proportion of vinegar and pepper in the mess.
Cumberland Packet.

Bzawscx.—The Election is to commence on Saturday, the 31st
of July.
STAFFORD.—The election for this borough commences on
Friday, the 30th. Day of nomination for the county, 29th July
and the day fixed for the election, Saturday, 7th August. ;
CARNARVON.—Sir C. Paget has relinquished the contest of this
borough, but recommends a Mr. Lloyd Edwards.

Mr. John Wood, a barrister, and late member fur Preston, left
York hastily last night, upon receiving intelligence that the con.
stituency there are about to oppose to him Mr. Hunt.

VORKSIIIHE ELECTION.—We have received an extraordinary
supplement to the Lends Mercury, containing an account of the
proceedings at the Leeds Cloth Hall, on the nomination of Mr.
Brougham and Lord Morreth. We have not room for the whole,
but the following extract from Mr. Brougham's speech is too
portant to be postponed :

"Go where you will, take the exatuple of this gnat county of.Vork,
which is a fair representative both as to the landed interest, the mer-
cantile interest, the wealth and population, and of all sects and
polies in religion and politic:, of the people of England. My
Bonoutable Friend, Mr. Duncumbe, differs with me on some
points ; but I am willing, and even am ready, to do justice to
his integrity, and to his consistency, for he opposes the Govern-
ment because he thinks the Government wrong. You may hear
in one quarter Mr. Duncombe proposed, you may hear in ano-
ther quarter another worthy man proposed, and in another
of my Noble Friend (Lord Morpeth), who has so distinguished
himself to-day and in Parliament—and you hear in another
that I am named amongst them ; but there is one pasty I
never hear mentioned the Ministry; although they are the
King's Ministers, and have the giving away of places they
seem by common consent to be forgotten, as if they had no na-
tural existence. I can only account for it by saying that they
are not so important as they ought to be ; front which I draw two
conclusions, one for their own consideration, and one for yours."
A simultaneous and general cheer concluded the public business
of the day, and it is quite impossible to conceive that any thing
could be mere gratifying to the feelings of the candidates and their
friends, than the scenes they had just witnessed. Nor was it the
least part of the gratification enjoyed by the friends of Lord
Morpeth and Mr. Brougham, that they were accompanied by
Sir John Johnstone and Mr. Strickland, as the impression
upon their minds, when conveyed to their friends of the landed
interest, must convince them that any opposition that might be raised
against ;either of them would be utterly futile. This tribute of re-
spect to talents and patriotism, be it remembered too, is free and
unbought—not a shilling has been expended by either of the candi-
dates. A new era has arisen in Yorkshire in the history of elec.
tions ; and, in future, candidates will have to draw, not upon
their purses, but upon their principles and their talents for their
success. So bright an example will, we trust, at no distant time,
animate the constituency in every county and popular borough in the
kingdom. After visiting the Trustees of the White Cloth-Hall in
their chamber, and receiving from them, on principle, the most
cordial and general assutances of that support, which up to this
day was divided and uncertain, Mr. Brougham proceeded to Hud-
dersfield, where he addressed assembled thousands of the manufac-
turers, and other freeholders, and where his reception amongst that
warm-hearted people was, if possible, more enthusiastic than at
Leeds. On his return he met the freeholders of Dewsbury and Heck-
mondwike, and here again he lighted up a dame that is spread-
ing over the western hills, and will burn with an ardour that will be
felt in its most fervent glow in the city of York at the approaching
election. Lord Morpeth, who is labouring under slight indispo-
sition, and is pressed by public duties at the Assizes, returned to
York, but It is his Lordship's intention to visit Huddersfield next
Tuesday, and we believe both his Lordship and Mr. Brougham will
visit Bradford on Thursday next: from Bradford Mr. Brougham
will proceed that day to Halifax, anti front thence to Sheffield,
where, from all we hear, his reception will add fresh laurels to the
triumphs preparing for him, and for his noble colleague, by the free.
holders of the county of York.

We hear that the borough of Cotton, with the park
and mansion, has been purchased by Lord Monson for 180,0001.—w
Brighton Gazette.

In the neighbourhood of Dulwich and of Sydenham,
the farmers have been cutting and carrying their oats for several
days past.

His Grace the Archbishop of Dublin has returned to
town from North Wales; and it affords us infinite satisfaction in
being able to state that his Grace is greatly improved in health and
appearance—.Dsgin Paper.
A first dividend of four shillings in the pound is an-
nounced for payment to the creditors of tile late firm of Birch and
Yates, bankers, of Stafford. The final dividend, it is expected,
will be about nine shillings.

The exceedingly fine weather is already having a most
cheering influence on the prospects of the harvest ; indeed rye and
oats, at Colnbrook, near Hounslow:, and other places, near London,
have been cut, and some of it carried in excellent condition.

GLAsoow, JULY 28.—Fresh herrings are now ex-
ceedingly plentiful Large arrivals take place daily at the Broomie-
law. On Saturday there were seven wherries loaded, and they sold
with wonderful despatch at Gs. lid. per hundred. On the streets
they are retailed at eight for Gd. New salt herrings are becoming
very reasonable in price. A week or two ago they were purchased
at 31. Si. a barrel; to-day, however, they are offered at 21. G. a
barrel. The general excellent quality of the fish has this season
caused a greater consumption than usual.

TEIG MOUTH, JULY 28.—Monday, at P.M. Torbay
exhibited one of the most beautifully animated and interesting spec-
tacles ever witnessed since the Channel Fleet lay here, in a Regatta,
consisting of 70 sail of a variety of yachts, pleasure, fishing, and
row boats, all contending for their respective prises. The concourse
of persons at Torquay, the rendezvous, was altogether unprece-
dented ; and a grand ball, attended by nearly 200 of the •gentry of
the place and neighbourhood, concluded the festivities. The Scor-
pion, Liberty, Neuha, Hely., and the Lord of the Isles, were among
the yatchts present on this festive occasion.
LONGFORD.—We have learned that Sir George Fe-
therstone has resigned. If no other candidate shall appear, I.ord
Forbes and Mr. Anthony Lefroy will be returned without opposition.
The election for this county is fixed for the 10th of
next month, and a warm contest for the representation is anticipated.
The candidates are Mr. Bastard, Sir T. I). Acland, and Lord
Ebrinoton, all of whom are well known to the freeholders of this
extensive county. We cat only repeat what we stated In our last ;
let the electors do their duty to their King, country, and them-'
selves, and in doing so it will be a never-failing source of gratifica-
tion to proclaim that they are true friends to the land which gave
them birth. Committees for the different candidates are formed,
ani making every exertion in favour of their respective favourites.
