Tremayne, Sir Richard Vivian, and Mr. Pendarves.
Doves.—The Dover election, we understand, is fixed for Satur-
day
next, and from all the candidates having determined to stand
the poll, there is likely to be a most severe contest. Friday a Court
of Record was held by the Mayor and Jurate in the Guildhall, fee
the purpose of admitting persons entitled to the freedom of this
town and Port ; when upwards of a hundred young freemen, having
produced the necessary certificates, and taken the customary oaths,
were admitted accordingly.
Esmisuaess.—it is confideutly reported that a respectable num-
ber of the Members of the Council have offered their support to the
Lord Provost, if he will start as a candidate ; but that his Lordship
feels some hesitation to do this, as he considers himself in some de-
gree pledged to support the claims of Mr. Dundas.
GLouceseea.—The day of election for this city is fixed for Friday
next. Colonel Webb commenced his canvass here en Saturday
last, and was everywhere received in the most friendly manner, so
as to leave no doubt of his ultimate return. Mr. Cooper arrived in
this city on Saturday, and began to canvass on Monday. A strong
effort was made to induce John Philpotts, Esq. to become a candi-
date upon this occasion ; but he declines that honour fur the pre-
sent. Another candidate, in the person of Captain Berkeley, has
been talked of ; but the gallant officer will certainly not come for.
ward, unless a third should he previously nominated. The election
for this city will commence on Friday next.

when it is expected that the old members, Lord Edward Somerset,
and Sir a W. Guise, Bart. will he returned without opposition.

1410MINSTER,Three new candidates have at length started--
Rowland Stephenson, Esq. of London, banker; Frederick Cuth.
ben, Esq. of Grosvenor-square ; and Mr. Guinness, a Barrister;
the latter on Sir W. Fairhe's interest, who resigns, as does also Sir
John Lubbock. Lord Hothass and Mr. Bish are here.

MALDOM—The election is fixed for this day. The proclamation
was read from the balcony in front of the Town Hall on Saturday
afternoon, about half past five, by William Codd, Esq. the Town
Clerk, in the presence of C. Comyns Parker, Esq. the Mayor; at
the conclusion of which the shouts of the multitude mit the air.
About 501 freemen have been admitted since the commencement

of last month, and a great number ire still daily pressing to obtain
lthe like blessing. The whole number of voters, it is calculated, will
exceed 3000. The liberality of the candidates furnishes Port and
other wines as free as though they issued from Crsowsoll'a Weii,
which has operated on same occasions so powerfully as to give
cause of complaint to the owner of an ex►ibition of wild animals,
who declares Sat his collection within is exceeded by that without.
Mr. Winn continues his cativau in the most quiet, and, as his frioude
assert, the most swocessful manner. Mr. Leonard's friends are
sanguine in their expectations; several contests have occurred la
the town among those who feast at the expence of the several
'candidates. The Chelmsford coach did not arrive at its usual hour
from Lando. yesterday ; it came in at one, laden with freemen in
the interest of Mr. Leonard, who were, with their wires andfusities,
forwarded to Maldon.

Nrwcasets-urea-Tria.—The writs having been received by the
Sheriff of this town, die day of nomination has been fixed for Friday
next. Sir M. W. Ridley and C. Ellison, Etq. have both arrived.
Notwithstanding all the contradictory reports, it le confidently
stated that a third candidate will be proposed to the freemen.
Noovnumazatoso.—The Sherif has appointed Tuesday the eMb
of this month for the commencement of the Northumberland Stec-
don. When it will end, it is not so easy to determine.

a requisition from the Corporation, who had voted him 10001. to-
wards the egpences. This vete is to be legally canvassed before the
Chancellor.

Pau- mm—Captaii Robert Barrie, a distinguished Officer in th.
British Navy, has accepted the invitation of a numerous and bight)
respectable body of the Electors of Presto*, to offer himself as .
candidate for that borough, and although he comes so late in tit.
held, there is no doubt of his success. Captain Barrie left tow'.

last night for Preston. The writs for the Election have beer t:
ceived, and the pulling will, in all probability, commence on &t;,;
day, or Monday at farthest. Mr. Stanley was to enter last everiin:
in state. Cobbett addresses ail who wish to bear him for a cos
of hours; with what effect remains to be seen.

at the ensuing contest for that City. Mr. Dundas addressed the
meeting, and rated the principles or which he rested for sopport.
His canvas., it was stated, had been very successful.
Simms WA ate— Monday evening, the friends of Sir Robert Wilson,
Mr. Weatherston in the Chair, met at the Queen's Head, for cie
purpose of considering what measures would be most effcc.
tual to secure his return at the approaching election for the lioroug'i
of Southwark. Sir Rabat's appearance was hailed with lca.l
cheers by his friends, who had been compelled, by want of ..
commodation, to adjourn from the Committee Roam to the y.o,i
of the Inn. Mr. Blackett read two Resolutions. The first ss
in approbation of Sir Robert Wilson's Parliamentary conduct .
and the second censured the attempt which had been made to
raise the malignant and incendiary cry of " No Popery !" et
the Borough, to his prejudice. Sir Robert Wilson then pre.
rented himself to the Meeting, and was received with plaudit:
which were frequently repeated in the course of his speech.
""!'hough he addressed the meeting in the first person," he said, "ht
pertectly identified himself with his late Colleague, Mr. Calvet.
and did nut desire iseat in Parliament if the Borough was
independent enough to avoid the hermaphrodite condition of
turning two Members of adverse principles. (Loud chett..,
The " No Po, cry" cry, he said, was attempted to be raised, lit-
cause be had concurred on a particular point with such met. 41

friend and favourite of the people—with a Brougham, the tioqueh:
advocate of all rights--and a Buxton, the zealous champion of
negro slave. If the electors renewed the honour which they lid
before conferred en him, he would adhere to the same line of
conduct, which, he was proud to say, had already o►tained that
approbation—( Loud cheers).—The Resolutions were passed
unanimously.

canvassed their constituents at Tewkesbury, on Friday and
day last, and experienced so flattering a reception that there is no
doubt whatever of their being both returned.

Woacratua—Affairs are not going on so quietly in this city as
some, not in the secret, might be led to suppose; and should tK,
highly respectable and opulent men (who have been named) tile
one a London banker, and the other a gentleman of considrrahie
tank, the native of an adjoining county, accept the invitation which
has been forwarded to them, blew& Davies and Robinson would
have rather sharp work cut out for them.
