even under the view of an immediate dissolution.—Bucks-Chron.
Bsysspar.—Mr. Lane rot has retired from' litverliy, hut has
strongly recommended Air. Harrison Battley. Air. Stewart has
also offered himself. Both of these yentlenten are Tories.
Bossisrs--Will be contested ; the opposition to the sitting Mem-
bers is considered rather formidable. _ _ .

13ainclwarsa—Is at present quiet. Colonel Tynte and Mr.
Astell wtll be returned free of expense.
BRISTOL—No serious opposition is at present apprehended by the
friends of Mr. Davis and Mr. Bright. Cash and Candidates are
equally scarce ; but the public mind is evidently much agitated, and
we look forward with some anxiety to the events of the next few
days. A very strong feeling prevails in favour of Mr. Protheroe.—
Britiol Mercury.
Bucia.—The Marquis of Chandos offers himself for this county,
upon the principle of supporting the true interests of the country iu
Church and State. _ _ .

CANCLFOILD.—The parties of the Earl of Darlington and the
Marquis of Hertford are equally balanced in this Borough, there
being 22 elector', and 11 having declared for each ; so that unless
there should he some ratting, which is very likely, there wit' be a
double return.
CAM as itx:r. Univrastrr Execvims.-111nntlay and Tuesday, the
12th and 17? th inst. are the days fixed for the election of Members
for the University of Cambridge. Th:re ate four catididates,all
on the Ministerial interest, and each 11,, ring a greet number of
zealous partisans in Cambridge. They are—the Attorney General,
Viscount Palmerston, H. Goulhurn, Esq. and W. Bankes, Esq.
CARLISL!.—Sir J. R. G. Graham, Bart. the candidate on the
independent interest for the representation of this City, is expected
to arrive in Carlisle to day.
CHICHISTER—As the contest is likely to be severe, so the spec-
tacle will probably he imposing. Mr. Poyntz has a pair of hand.
some colours made for the occasion, to compete with those which
were presented by the Ladies of Chichester to Sir Gotiffey Webster;
and the worthy Baronet has had a set of brass and steel armour
sent front Battle Abbey, to be worn in the procession from his
Committee Room to the Hustings. _

COPINWALL—In the Cornwall Gazelle of Saturday, appears a Re-
quisition to Mr. Trentayne, to represent the County in Parliament,
free of all costs of election,signed by upwards of 1,300 freeholders.
Devou—SirT.Acland seems secure of his election for this county.
DURHAM (Ctrs ANT Cottisry)— No contest it expected in either.
Gnienroso—Mr. C. Baring Wall, one of the late Representatives
for Guildhall, declined the contest fcr that Borough on Friday,
stating in his address to the Electors, that the defection of several
voters he firmly relied on had turned the scale against him.
HAMPSHIRE-1t is generally understood that no opposition will
be made to the return of Mr. Flensing and Sir W.lleathcote, Ban.

Mallon— Mr. Villiers, the new candidate for Iledon, has been
here some time, and has received the most cordial and uncomprn-
miring promises of support. Mr. Farrand arrived on Thursday
evening. 'The other candidate, Colonel Millie, is expected here
to-night. It will be a hard run race, but the young one and the Colonel
have the call; both, however, who arc Tories, support the Catholic
Question, whilst Mr. Farrand, who is a Whig, opposes it.
Hears-11.1r. N. Calvert, M.P. has announced his intention of
offering himself as a candidate for the representation of the County.
HuLc—An intimation was conveyed to Mr. Wilmot-Honton by
Wednesday's post, that, if he would offer, he would be supported by
all the respectables of Hull. There is not the smallest doubt that if
he should, he will be returned by a considerable majority. Shusdd
Mr. Wilmot-Horton not stand, a staunch Tory will start.
Irsvricw—During the present week the candidates for this bo-
rough, both yellow and dark blue, have been canvassing in London
and its neighbOurhood—the blues say, with pre-eminent success on
their part—the yellows knostbetter.—Supik Chronicle.
LEICZSTBIL-Mr. Evans closed his canvass of the town on Satur-
day, and Sir Charles Hastings on Tuesday, since which their
friends, as well as those of Mr. Otway Cave, have been canvassing
the votes in various parts of the country. Each candidate expresses
great confidence in the ultimate issue of the contest, and seems at
present determined to carry on the polling to the latest hour.
LEICIP>TERICHIRI.-A certain Baronet, a member of the Opposi-
tion, is spoken of as likely to be brought forward for the county at
the approaching election. We know not on what foundation such
a rumour rests but we understand that one of our present bounty
members has been writing to his friends, to acquaint them with the
eircunastance.—Leicester Chronicle.
Lzwas—lt is not true that Lord Pelham offers himself for this
borough. Large odds are staked on Sir John Shelley's success.
LIVIRTGOL—•4C weak attempt is making by the shipwrights of
this place to set up a Counsellor Williams (not the Member for
Lincoln), in opposition to Mi. Huskisson ; the latter Gentleman's
election is secure • as is also that of General Gascdyne. Some say
they mean to nominate Mrs Jonathan Blundell Hollingsbed—others,
that Mr. John Naylor Wright is to be the man.---.Lioetyloof Mercury.
itudgard, Esq. of 'the city of Lincoln, waited on
Mr. Corbett, at his residence, Pall-mall, to solicit that Gentleman
to offer himself a Candidate for the representation of Lincoln, at
the ensuing Parliament. The Honourable Gentleman set off from
his residence, accompanied hp Mr. C. Tenison, late Member for
Grimsby, and Colonel Jervis, and was expected to arrive by nine
o'clock yesterday morning, where preparations on an extensive
scale were making for his reception, by the independent electors of
that city. The other Candidates are, Colonel Sibthorpe and Mr.
Fazakerley. There is no doubt of
_Colonel Sibthorpe's return.
Losing—The canvass is carried on with much activity, by the
respective candidates and their friends. In a great majority of in-
stances the livery have been personally waited on ; and considering
that their number amounts to more than 12,000 spread over all
part of the town and its vicinity, this has proved a most arduous
and fatiguing duty. Of the new candidates none appear to enter.
tain or en express any confident expectations of success, for the
contest is likely to run so hard among three of them, that they can
venture to give no intermission to the exertions sof their friends.

Mn upon.-The election commences at this place-to-morrow.
Moessourn.—Benjamin Hall, Esq. of Abercarne, the present
Sheriff for the County, has no intention of coming forward as a
candidate for this borough, as stated.
Moarirra.—Mr. Ord again offers himself for this ancient Bo-
rough. The lion. Mr. Howard retires from its representation, and
will be succeeded by Lord Morpeth, at present attending the Duke
of Devonshire on his mission to Russia.

Nawcatssta-cnnsa-Lrats—The present Members, R. Wilmot.
Hotton, and J. E. Denison, Esqrs. issued a joint address to the
Electors on Wednesday, stating their intention again to solicit their
suffrages on a dissolution of Parliament. The Blue party have not
yet announced a candidate. A Mr. Taylor has applied to the Com-
mittee of the party in question, but we do not hear that it has conic
to issue. It is certainly true that the Blues have applied to Mr.
Borrodaile, an eminent merchant in the East India trade, bu t his
resolution has not been made public. The current opinion is that
Mr. B. will offer himself.—Stafford Paper.
NORTHAMT2OI4.-A new candidate, Sir R. Gunning, has started
against the old Members, Sir G. Robinson, Bart. and Major Ma.
berly, 72d Regimeht of Highlanders.
NOATHUMBEILLAI4I),It is stated in accounts received from New-
castle that Lord Howick's election is secure. His Lordship, accom-
panied by his brother, the Hon. Captain Grey, is proceeding in his
canvass, and received every where with the greatest enthusiasm.
The friends of Mr. Bell are also confident of that Gentleman's.return.
—On Monday, Earl Grey arrived at Ainwick. Hi reception was
most enthusiastic and affecting. His Lordship entered the Com-
mittee room, where he partook of some wine with the Committee,
and was about to descend to his carriage to set off for Remick
Hall, when warm greetings and acclamations of the inhabitants
a4sembled outside. obviously in a state of the most sanguine ex-
pectancy, induced his Lordship to approach the window, and to
address the assembly. Alluding to the approaching contest, kis
Lordship said—" My situation as a Peer precludes me from taking
personally any part in the approaching contest; but it would be
gross affectation and hypocrisy, deserving only of your contempt,
were 1 to pretend that I do net take a deep personal interest in the
success of my son. May I not then be permitted, without impro-
priety, to say that, in the feeling you have shown towards
me, I find a strong confirmation of the hope which has long
been nearest my heart, of seeing him connected with you,
by the strongest and closest ties, as the Representative of
your interests and the guardian of your independence. What-,
ever may he the result, of this at least I am certain, that he
will not come out of this contest dishonoured. My first counsel to
him has been, and I ant proud to say that it found a ready accept-
ance in his natural disposition to throw away all disguise and con-
cealment; to resort to no unworthy arts; to hold no ambiguous
language; to place himself brfure you in all the plainness and sin-
cerity of truth ; to be explicit in the declaration of his opinions, firm
in the assertion of his principles, and standing on the high ground of
private and public indepen&nce, to look to that free and honourable
spirit by which the county of Northumberland has so long been
distinguished, as the only source from which he can hope or wish
for suppott. I have said thus much; prompted by those natural
feelings which vaill, I hope, he deemed sufficient to excuse it; and
that it will not be imputed to me as a transit, cssion beyond the
strictest obligations of my public duty."

PIVRVN—The Borough of Pcnryn is at present b.stle
approaching election. Mr. Weeding arrived on Saturday eve!,,
Mr. B.irclay on Monday morning, and Lord Percival wos ,ir

only housekeepers paying scut and lot have a right to vote. hut rs
inhabitants, which have been tirtined by the [trust of Common:li,
consist in a residence of fix months. All lodgers, servant,, &:.
paying no taxes, have as good a vote as the most respectable Indio.
dual in the Borough. There is no document on record, which co-
be referred to, to ascertain the right of individuals to vote, and t
has, from this nature, of its elective franchise, been open ro
grossest abuse. The number of electors is between 5,000 and IA
teur-fifths of %shunt are of the labouring class.
11EADING.—The coalition between Mr. Wakefield and Mr. Spence.
which has a lung time secretly existed, is at last op.-nly avowed.—

most gratifying and cordial reception.— [beg/don Herald.

SOMIMECTSIIIR a —The friends of the present Members are ns.,king
efforts t o secure the return of their respective friends free of person:l
expense, and it is said that Mr. Dickinson has declared he will ina
spend one shilling. It is reported, on the authority of a Ili i,trl
Paper, that Mr. Gore Langton will also be put in nomination for
the ..ounty.—A Bristol Paper says, that Mr. Baring, late Nlembs:r

affray took place last week at Taunton between some electors an,:
the Cavalry which are there on duty. Several of the ringleaL:s
were taken into custody ; but as nn their exontiptiou nothing 0.1,,.1
be gained but a proof that the whole originated in a drunken iroin,
they were set at liberty._.

tiarmaurron.—Mr. Chamberlayne has just announced his inter.
firm of again standing for Southampton at the ensuing diction. Sir
William de Crespigny retires, from ill health. It is expected that
Mr. Dottin will succeed to the vacancy.
SOUTHWARK—The friends of Mr. Polhill, one of the candidat•s,
seem very sanguine of his success on the poll. It is whispered tha:
there will be a strong opposition against Mr. Calvert's interest,
Mr. William Martin, ironmonger, is making an active canvass, and
has five hundred plumpen already on his list. Sir Robert IVilson
is actively canvassing, and last night addressed a large assembrage
from the gallery at the Queen's Head Inn.
SUDBURY.—The candidates here are Mr. Was, jun. and Benja-
min Botch. Esq. barrister. Mr. Walrond has just offered himself.
He states that he is unconnected with any other candidate, and that
he is fully determined to stand till the last moment of the Poll.
Surrom—Mr. Gooch is certain of being returned for this county
Srarroan.—Ralph Benson, Esq. has got the start of the
other candidates for this Borough. He arrived here yesterday, ac-
companied by Major Hawker, and was received by the Burgesses
with considerable enthusiasm. Mr. Campbell and Mr. Ironmonger
have not yet arrived, but are hourly expected.
TA UNTON.—Mr. Creuwell, Mr. Seymour, and General Peachy,
have each declared their determination to stand the poll to the last.
It is generally believed that the two former will be returned.
Tatoowev.—This Borough, it appears, will be vigorously con-
tested against the interest of the Earl f Darlington ; and some
sharp contests are expected in several other of our Boroughs.—
Growing Gazelle.

misers are nearly equal. The spirit of party is more than ordi-
narily bitter.
WESTSURT.— Sir George Warrender comes in for this Borough.
Virsensoe.—John Ramsbottom and Richard Hussey Vivian,
Esc's. canvassed the resident electors of the Borough of New
Windsor yesterday morning.
Wssruoaccasio--The canvass of Mr. Brougham's friends pro-
ceeds with the most signal success. Nothing has occurred worthy
of notice farther than the increasing warmth which all parties mani-
fest for and against each other.
WOODSTOCK—This Borough, it appears, will be closely contested.
There are now four candidates in the field, namely, the Marquis of
Blandferd, Lord Astley Cooper, J. H. Langston, and Robert
1114 William, Eiqrs. the latter ofiwhom is decidedly the most popular,
and no doubt is entertained of his being one of the representatives.

YAAMOUTH (Gaeas).—This Borough is not likely to be contested.
Messrs. Anson and Rumbald will, in all probability, experience no
opposition. This could not but prove a fire oirportimity for ally
two Gentlemen who might think proper to offbr themselves in the
Ministerial interest, which greatly preponderates in the town and
neighbourhood.
Yousiiist—Since the elevation of Mr. Wortley to the reerage,
it is confidently stated in high quarters in London, that the Mem-
bers for Yorkshire in the next Parliament will he Lord MiIto!"
Mr. Marshall, Mr. Bethel!, and Mr. Wilson. Mr. Dunconihr,
however, announces his determination to stand a poll.
Yofte.—This city will be strongly ernoested. Mr. Wyvil!, one
of the late members, entered the city Ofl l'hursday, and was rectivcl
by the freemen in the most enthusiastic manner, and immediately
proceeded on the canvas+, and met with the greatest success. Mr..
Wilson, of Sneatcm Castle, a West India proprietor, and the lion.'
Thomas Dunclas, son of Lord Dand'as, are expected to canvass.
