PROVINCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

GENERAL ELECTION.

Sir Robert Peel has published an address to the " wor-
thy electors of the borough of Tamworth," " soliciting
the high trust of protecting its rights and promoting its
interests."

LI VE It POO L.—Monday last a meeting of the friends
of the right hon. William Huskisson was held in the
large room in the King's-Arms, to take the necessary pre-
liminary steps for securirg his return at the ensuing ge-
neral election as one of the representatives of Liverpool.
The meeting was very numerously and most respectably
attended, and the chair was occupied by Sir John Tobin.
A requisition to Mr. Huskisson, requesting him to he-
conic a candidate for the representation of the borough
at the ensuing general election, was unanimously agreed
to, and a committee of gentlemen appointed to carry the
requisition into effect.—Liverpool Albion.
BEDFOIID.••4t is likely there will be a severe contest
for this borough ; Captain Polhill, of Howbury-hall, near
Bedford, having come forward, as we before stated, to
oppose the Russell and Whitbread interest.
BEDFORDS I itr.—Mr. Stuart has been very success-
ful in his canvass for this county.
Bat DGNORTII. —T homasWhitmore and William Whit-
mac, Esqrs. have again offered themselves for this
borough.
CANTERBURY.—Lord Clifton, the Hon. Mr. Richard
Watson, and Mr. Baring, are busily employed in their
canvass.

COLCHESTER.—Mr. Sanderson has published an ad-
dress to the burgesses of this borough.
G LOC EST En.—Colonel Berkeley has relinquished all
intention of representing this city.
GREAT YA R MOUT .—From all that we learn, Colonel
Anson and C. E. Rumbold, Esq. will be again returned.
MA I DBTON E.— lien ry Winchester, Esq. has declared
himself a candidate, iu the room of Mr. Wells.

SII ROPSinnE.—There does not scent much probability
of a contest, and it is generally expected that the present
members will be again elected.
SourtiAmrTox.—The present members, A. R. Dot-
tin, and J. B. Ilay, Esqrs. Candidates mentioned--
J. Fleming, Esq. who, it is reported, intends to resign
the county in favour of the Marquis of Douro, the son
of the Duke of Wellington ; H. Stanton, Esq. who was
nominated at late election last January, and one or two
others are expected.
WAttwic (County.)—Tho two present members, S.
Dugdale, Esq. and F. Lawley, Esq. kill stand again for
this county, and we believe that no opposition is at pre-
sent intended.

At present there appears to be little prospect of an
opposition either for Middlesex, Surrey, Westminster,
London, or Southwark. Such an instance, perhaps, was
never known before, as that the five principal metropo-
litan constituencies should not have produced some jarring
interests.

At a ineetin.• of one of the Electioneering Clubs in
the interest of Lord George Lennox, last week, at Chi-
chester, the company drank, at the Noble Lord's ex-
pense, no less than 800 glasses of grog, besides beer in
profusion.
Some of the hungry folks of Southampton, unable to
wait for the good fare at the ensuing election, last week
broke open the larder of Mr. Hoy, one of the Nlembeis
for the town, and stripped it of all its provisions !
A great number of burgesses of Newcastle have lately
taken up their freedom preparatory to the approaching
election. We have heard it whispered that a third can-
didate will yet offer for this town. We do not pledge
ourselves for the truth of the rumour, but a very short
time will decide whether it is well or ill-founded.
NORTHUMBFRLAND ELECTION.—There is no doubt
that Mr. Beaumont and Mr. Bell will poll till the last,
however strong the contest may be. Mr. Liddell has
announced his intention of commencing his canvass
Friday, with a view of ascertaining the sentiments-
tertained by the freeholders towards him. If the lion,
Gentleman receives the support his friends anticipate; lo
will certainly proceed to a poll, but nut otherwise.
Mr. O'Connell was expected to arrive at Kingstown,
by one of the Government packets, Tuesday morning
Lord Fortes left London, on Friday, for Longford.
A. V. Kirwan, Esq. a gentlemen formerly connected
with the Dublin and London press, is a candidate for the
borough of Oakham, in Devonshire.
Sir Henry Brooke, Bart. has arrived iu Dublin from
Colebrook. Colonel Kingsmill left Dublin, on Saturday,
,for Ravenswell, Bray.
COUNTY 171RMANAG11.—We hear that the county
Fermanagh is likely to be contested by the Erne family.
Mr. Creighton is, we understand, on his return from the
Continent.

Cur NT, Sheil had engaged not only
to retire (in the event of a general election,) but to use
all his influence in favour of Mr. Fitzgerald, of Fane
Valley, in the event of his becoming a candidate. Under
these circumstances what part has Mr. Fitzgerald acted ?
Feeling that Mr. Sheil, who had calculated upon being
returned upon an incidental vacancy, had suffered a con-
siderable disappointment, and considering it more condu-
cive to the union of the popular party, that Mr. Sheil
should. for the present, he placed with Alexander Daw-
son at their head, actuated by a sense of the public ser-
vices of that gentleman, and above all by regard to the
general good, Mr. Fitzgerald has voluntarily resigned, and
given all his interest to Mr. Sheil.
COUNTY MEATII.—The friends of Mr. O'Connell in
this county promise to return him, if he will become a
candidate. They promise to do this without affecting the
interests of Lord Killeen. Mr. Lawless commenced his
canvass in the county Meath on Thursday, the Bth inst.
accompanied by some of the leading men of Meath. His
reception by the freeholders was of the most warm and
enthusiastic kind: in two days he got one hundred ana
twenty votes—not content with their oral declarations,
but giving him their names. _ _

SLIGoCOUNTY.—Three candidates for the represen-
tation of this county are already in the field, Fitzstephen
French, Esq. the Hon. Gen. King, and Lord Kirkwall.
The latter has not yet formally published his addrese to
the electors, but it is generally known that he is media-
vouring to canvass some of them; he is feeling Ws way,
but it appears from his timidity in not openly avowing
himself, that his feelers have met with an icy reception.
It is, nevertheless, hourly expected that he will publish
on address. Three, nay, four other candidates are
talked of, viz. the Hon. Mr. Temple, a brother of Lord
Viscount Palmerston's, Col. Perceval, and Meson. John
Wynne, of Hazlewood, and his brother-in-law, Joshua
Edward Cooper, of Markree.—Sligo Observer.
BOROUGH or &rms.—The gradual reform which is
working, its way in England, to.correct the abuses of the
borough system, has not been unobserved at this side el
the channel. Therefore, it is with pleasure we!, new
say, that the inhabitants of our boroughs, feast dot
lowly state of degradation anti mockery by which *sir
representation has been managed, are determined eakoo-
setting their rights, for which purpose a committee is
ling, which will be composed of a number of l
well qualified to laid in the political nigeneraties of sot
,tolok.--,Clare Sentinel.
