ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

AIIINCIDON.—T. Duffield, P.sq. of Marcham House, near Abing-
don, has resigned any farther contest for the present election fur
the Borough of Abingdon.
Busensr.—Mr. Wells having been Invited by the boasted " friends
of freedom" of this Borough to stand a candidate, has returned a
very cutting answer, in which he begs leave to inform them that it
has long been his decided opiniongelectors require reformation much
more than the elected; and that the Borough of Begun confirms
that opinion.
Balsrot..—The follosiing Gentlemen have all been named as
candidates in the Blue interests.—Mr. Wallace, Lord G. Somerset,
Mr. W. Peel, Mr. J. S. Harford, Mr. W. Miles, and Mr. John
Cave. In the Whig interest, if Mr. Bright should retire, it Is
thought that the choice will be from among the following Gentle-
men :—Mr. Protheroe, Mr. C. Pinney, Colonel Baillie, and Mr.
Hobbouse. We understand that Private letters have been received
from Mir. Davis, in which he repeats his determination to with-
draw.—Bristol Mirror.

BURY.—The Earl of Euston and Lord Hervey are expected to
be the new Members for Bury.
Carusoros —Mr. Mackinnon and Mr. Dundas are opposed to
Mr. Baring and Mr. Artwood.
Cansatooestriar.—lt is generally expected that Lord F. 0.
Osborne and Lord C. S. Manners will be again returned to Parlia-
ment for this County.
Cunnings TOWN.—The Marquis Graham and Colonel Trench
will, it is said, be returned for the Town at the ensuing election.

CAINSILID4C UNIVIRSITIr.-1 he election of Representatives for
this University excites very general attention throughout the king-
dom. The circumstance of three of the Candidates (Lord Palmer.
ston, Sir John Copley, and Mr. Goulburn), being Members of the
Administration, and the other Candidate (Mr. Bankes) being
equally zealous in support of his Majesty's Government, readers
the contest somewhat peculiar; whilst the just pretensions of each
individual to the honour which he solicits, makes the result ex-
tremely doubtful. The respective Committees are unceasing in their
exertions, and there will probably be a more numerous assemblage of
the sons of Alma Mater than on any former occasion. It is generally
understood that the election will take place on Tuesday, Wednes-
day, and Thursday, the 13th, 14th, and 15th inst.—Ca►xb. arms.
Ciirreastrax.—The representation of this Borough is now
warmly contested by three rival candidates—Mr. Grown, the
present Member, Mr. Maitland, and Mr. Frederick Gye; the latter
of whom has attained the pinnacle of popularity, by a measure
which is highly creditable to his head and heart—that of relieving
the distressed manufacturets, by offering to give employment to
every hand, and entering into an agreement for that purpose with
Mr. Taylor. . _ .

Demncit.—.A severe contest is expected to take' place for the'
representation of this Borough in Parliament, but Mr. Myddieton
Biddulph is 'spitted to be returned.
Doves.—The approaching election creatts much format and
bustle. We have four candidates in the field; and, from the weight
of the respective parties, it appears clear they will stand the poll.
A very severe contest fur the second seat may be looked for be-
tween Butterworth, Mr. I'oulett Thompson, and Mr. Halcomb,
and the respective parties seem very sanguine and vet y zealous.
Essen.—C. C. Western, Esq. and Sir Mitts Harvey, lEnt. the
much respected members for this Comity have each addressed the
freeholders. There is no probability of any other candidates stArte
ing ; they will walk over the course.
GRAMMA Mr. Edward Cust, brother to Lord Brownlow, has
again offered himself for Grantham.
Ginuceinsasatae.—No place in is county appears likely to be
contested. Mr. Phillpots has declined an invitation to stand for-
ward fur the city. It has been rutuoured that Captain Berkeley
will offer himself.

Him.—Mr. N. Calvert. M.P. for Hertford, has announced his
intention of offering himself as a candidate for the representation of
the county. On Wednesday afternoon a very large party of the
supporters of Mr. Duncotnbe met in the Pleugh.Faeld, and paraded
the town with Mr. Duncombe.

leswicit.—Of the pretensions of Mr. Mackinnon, the first andl
principal is, that he is a strenuous supporter of our Constitution In
Church and State—of his talents, integrity* and inedence, a suffi-
cient proof is given io his having obtained nearly 700 votes for *e
important situation of au East India Director. and in the certainty
of his succeeding on a future vacancy. Of Mr. Dundas we have
learnt' that he is a man of family and fortune, and a nephew of
Lord Melville, the First Lori of the Admiralty, and that he Is a
firm supporter of the principles which have secured to England her
political greatness.—lpswich Journal.

place for Leo:Winter, to canvass the electors.
Luicoto—J. N. Fazakerley, Esq. formerly member, has de-
clared himself a candidate, but his Committee Lave not so muck
as canvassed the freemen.—lt is said several freemen have
waited upon Colonel Sibtkorp, and he has declared himself as a
candidate. A Mr. Corbett, of Blatant, near Brigs, Lincolnshire,
has been solicited : he is on the Whig principle, and a house of
rendezvous is engaged (the Monson's Arms): it is supposed by
some that he has a fair chance, but probably, as Colonel Sibthorp
has offered, he may decline.
Livaaroot, June I.—This day the friends of Mr. Huskisson met,
agreeably to advertisement; John Gladstone, Waq. M.P. was called
to the Chair. The Right Hon.Williant Huskisson was proposed ter be

party of Woodstock Freemen, in London. on Tuesday last; and

porters. The progress in his canvass gives him confident hopes
of success.--fhford Journet.

this county ; and circumstances have been mentioned which give
some plausibility to the report ; we have not, however, been able to
trace it to any authentic source.

with which the event is anticipated in this city becomes more ii,
tense, and all parties seem prepared to enter upon the contest will,
irit, and carry it on with vigour. The friends of the several can-
didates appear equally confident of success. Colonel Davies has
been here for several days, paying his respects to his friends. Lord
Deerhurst and Mr. Robinson are expected to arrive in a few days.

dent, 1,500; London, upwards of 500; other Nun-residents, 700.
