ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

Borros.—Mr. Malcolm and Mr. Heathcote have had the ad- •
vantages of early canvassing the freemen, and report says the fur-
MCI' with not exactly a flattering prospect. Be that, however, as •
it may, the enthusiasm of the Blue cause is in no way diminished,
but kept up with the usual spirit of perseverance. A Committee
of 24 is formed, and in active operation. Some damp will be
thrown upon the cause by the resignation of Colonel Johnson.—

Fag. one of the present Representatives, again offers himself for this
.rough.—Dridgewater Hemid.
Elainft..—R. Hart Davis, Esq. has declined coming for.
ward to offer himself as a candidate for this city, on account of ill
state of health. Rumour follows nomadism (says the Bristol Gazette,
24th last.) that there are no less than 10 or 12 candidates, amongst
whom are Lord Granville Somerset, Mr. Wallace, Mr. W. Peel,
Mr. Hohhoose Mr. J. S. Harford, Mr. W. Mills, Mr. Pinney,

ever of declining the contest for the representation of this University.
Mr. G. was theg last week, to make the final arrangements for hut

fair chance of being returned.

made to Mr. Goo!born Odle Reprewntation of the City of Dublin,
corning from such a variety of interests and parties, as left va
little doubt of his success, and probably without opposition.
understand, however, that the Right Mon. Gentleman considers
his prospects of representing the University of too tivorerable a
nature to permit him to hesitate a moment in declining the offers
from the metropolis of the sister kingdom.—Alderman James de-
clares he will come to the hostials. Alrlermah Shaw is very
attentive at Conunittees.—The Asian Booting Pest says the return
of Mr. Grattan is certain.

--....nWMP ..--

Ilia MAJRSTY has been graciously pleased to honour
the British Institution and to gratify the Public by the
loan of his splendid collection of Paintings at Carlton
Palace. These, therefore, will of themselves form the
exhibition of the summer season this year at the Institu-
tion, to which place they are now being transferred.—
The nature of the wo, ks of art, as well as the import-
ance they derive fr►m being the property of the Illus-
trious Owner, who so well appreciates merit, Will render
the display in the highest degree interesting. The
rooms will be occasionally lit up, as usu 11, for the fa-
shionable world.

This Collection is uncommonly rich in works of the
Dutch and Flemish Schools. This, in fact forms its
principal characteristic. The following Pictures are
particularly interesting :

exceedingly high finish, and fine effect of light and shade; the wife
is represented as having just entered the room. and is in the act of
presenting a letter to her husband.—A Landscape, in which is in-
troduced Philip Baptising she Igunuck, by Burn ; the glow and splen.

reduction of the Master.— A Merry Making, by Tgallag, painted
for the top of the Artist's harpsicbord.—Two pictures, by Warman,
one a Masquerade Sane; the other from a French Play, in his high-
est finished style. These pictures are not so rich as usual with
Warraau, but their colouring is chaste, and as fresh as if just finish-
ed.—A fine Beloutx—Mountainous Landscape and Cattle. The
Young Gambler, by Ls Natau, so well known from the print.—
Sportsman at tkc does an Inn, by PAUL Porree.—A Sea Cahn, W.
