THE CIVET CAT, 72, LORD-STREET.

LORD JOUN RUSSELL.—After the presentation of the re-
quisition to the Lord Mayor on Saturday, by Messrs. Fearon,
Dillon, &c., to convene a City meeting on the subject of the
" corn law," there was a consultation among them as to the
individual that it would be advisable to put in nomination to
represent the city of London, in the room of Mr. Grote, he
having announced that at the next general election he does
not intend to ask for " a renewal of the confidence reposed
in him." Lord John Russell was suggested, and a requisi-
tion was thereupon drawn up and signed by all the parties
present, requestirb, that his lordship would at the next gene-
ral election allow himself to be put in nomination for the
City ;—but the requisition is not to be presented until it ob-
tains many more signatures.—Morning Herald.
Tsi P. ANTI-CORN-LAW MOVEMENT.—The provincial
papers of Saturday must be extremely mortifying to those
who are describing the country as in " a state of agitation
from
one end to the other in favour of the anti-corn-law
movement." The country papers absolutely bring nothing
additional upon which the most " blatant" of the lecturers
andc can hang
those evenrela t
e to
a paragraph,
the
aWith oneeet
jionougrrantalwwsho"eetiechepaprvtoin ieovns,
al-
ready found their way into the Loofndmon
dal press is absolutely barren of any movement at all.

GALWAY.—The county of Galway is already up and stir-
ing. Two new candidates are in the field—Mr. James Daly,
of Dunsandle (conservative, and admitted on all hands to be
one of the best landlords in the county), and Sir John Burke,
of Marble-hill, who, although a Roman catholic and a whig,
is in bad odour with the priests and Dr. M`Hale. There are
no less than six gentlemen spoken of as claimants for the
honour of representing the town of Galway—viz., Messrs.
Lynch and Blake, the sitting members, Mr. Roderick O'Con-
nor, of Baboon, supported by the interest of Lords Clanri-
carde and Oranmore ; Mr. Handock of Carrantrilla ; Sir
Valentine Blake, and Mr. M. B. Bermingham. The princi-
ples of the forementioned are liberal in all the various phases
from repealer to pure whig.
- - - •

MONMOUTHSHIRE.—Mr. W. A. Williams, of Llangibby
Castle, will again offer himself on the liberal interest.
NEWRY--Major-General Sir John Milley Doyle, K.C.8.,
is in the field for Newry. Sir John has delared himself a
friend.to her Majesty's present administration.
WEST SUSSEX.—Colonel Charles Wyndham (conserva-
tive) is already in the field ; and a second will not, we have
reason to believe, be wanting.

WESTMINSTER MEETING.—A meeting of the electors
and householders of the city of Westminster, took place on
Thursday, pursuant to requisition, for the purpose of taking
into consideration the measures proposed by her Majesty's
government, for the reduction of the duties on corn, sugar,
and timber. At oae o'clock, the High Bailiff, Mr. F. Smed-
-lev, appeared on the hustings, which were erected, as usual,
at the west-end of Covent-garden. On the platform, were
Mr. O'Connell, M. P., who was loudly cheered ; Sir de
Lacy Evans and Mr. Leader, the members for the city ; Col.
Salwey, M. P., Mr. Ewart, M. P., Mr. Hawes, M.P., Dr.
Bowring, Mr. Tulk, and other gentlemen. The two mem-
bers for the city then addressed the meeting against the con-
tinuance of the corn-laws. They were followed by Mr.
O'Connell, Mr. Ewalt, and Dr. Bowring, who moved reso-
lutions in accordance with the views of the government.
Dr. Wade then addreised the meeting. which aftewards qui-
etly dispersed. Similar meetings are advertised to take
place in various parts of the town.
- -

WIGAN.—We understand the conservatives have resolved
to bring forward Mr. Hodson Kearsley and Mr. P. Greenall
as the candidates for Wigan. The liberals have not yet de-
cided upon who shall be colleague to Mr. Charles Standish.
Public rumour has fixed upon Mr. William Brown, of
Liverpool.—Bolton Free Press.
WILTSHIRE.—We have heard that a canvass has already
commenced for the northern division of Wilts, on behalf of
Mr. H. Hobhouse ; but we greatly doubt the fact. Mr.
Long and Sir Francis Burdett will again offer themselves.—
Devizes Gazelle.

NEWRY.—Major-General Sir John Milley Doyle, K.C.B.
is In the field for Newry. Sir John has declared himself a
friend to her Majesty's present administration.
WORCESTER.—F. W. Knight, Esq. (conservative) will be
a candidate at the next election for the West Division of this
shire, in conjunction with H. B. Lygon, Esq., the present
member. In consequence of the continued ill-health of
Colonel Davies, the hon. and gallant member will not again
offer himself for the representation of the borough of Wor-
cester.

PRESTON.-It is the intention of the conservatives to re-
quest Mr. Robertson Gladstone to contest that borough in
connection with Mr. Parker, the present excellent represen-
tive.

BIISSEX.-Mr. Darby, M.P. for East Sussex, has an-
nounced his intention of again appearing as a candidate, and
Mr. E. Fuller, the second conservative candidate at the last
election, is also in the field. The Hon. Mr. Cavendish, the
present colleague of Mr. Darby, will probably stand, a con-
test ; but not the slightest doubt exists that the result will
be the return of the two conservatives. At Lewes the two
conservative members are expected to walk over the course.
A change in favour of conservatism will take place in Bram-
ber. Mr. Harry Dent Goring will re3ign, and as we hear
nothing of Mr. Salomon, we conclude that Mr. Goring, of
Wiston, will be allowed to walk quietly into the house with
that stanch conservative, Sir Charles Burrell. At Brighton
and other places in Sussex there seems to be but little pros-
pect of change. On the whole, a general election would give
Sussex an increase of at least three or four conservative
members.

PLYMOUTH.—A meeting of the conservatives was held at
the Royal Hotel, Plymouth, on Monday, Mr. Joseph Lindon,
in the chair. Mr. Alderman Johnson addressed the meeting
at some length. The sentiments of the honorable candidate

were received with great applause. A committee was ap-
pointed, and the usual resolutions carried. The meeting was
composed of a very full and influential body of electors.
li'swscii.—Mr. Montague Gore is to be the candidate for
this borough, on the conservative interest, in the place of Sir
Thomas Cochrane, who retires.

DIIDLEY.-It is confidently zeported that the rejected at
Ludlow, the rejected at East Surrey, the rejected at Notting-
ham, and the well-known Monsieur Larpent, is to .be the
exhibitor in the hands of the radicals of Dudley, at the ap-
proaching election. There will be another rejection to his
tail, as there is a good conservative majority of nearly 200 on
the list of the electors of that loyal and constitutional town.

BURY.—Mr..Twiss will be a candidate at the next election
in conjunction with the present member, Earl Jermyn. The
resolution, pledging the meeting to support the hon. gentle-
man as the colleague of Lord Jermyn, was received with ac-
clamation.

The Cbippenham liberals have brought a Mr. Lysley to
contest that borough with Capt. Boldero. He is not, how-
ever, expected to stand.
- • •

•
LEOMINSTER.—In consequence of Lord Hotham having
expressed his determination not to offer himself for this bo-
rough, Sir James Flower, of the firm of Coombe, Delafield,
& Co., has offered himself as a reformer, and Mr. Wigram
as a conservative.

- -
REPRESENTATION OF DURHAM.—In the prospect of an
early dissolution of parliament, the truly honest Lord Dun-
gannon has announced his intention to retire from the repre-
sentation of the city of Durham. The conservative party,
however, are well prepared for an election, and two candi-
dates, Captain Fitzroy, a nephew of the Marquess of Lon-
donderry, and also connected with the family of Lord
Ravensworth, and Mr. Shepherd, the only son of a wealthy
merchant of Bristol, have addressed the electors, and are
prosecuting an energetic canvass with every prospect of a
triumphant :success. Mr. Thos. C. Granger, the Lambton
nominee, has again declared himselt a candidate in the radiCal
interest, but the old whigs are reported to look very shy at
him, and his chance of success seems very slender against
two such popular candidates as have taken the field. If the
conservatives only act with union and energy they will not
fail to emancipate the representation of the good old city of
Durham from the grasp of whiggery.
REPRESENTATION OF CIRENCESTER AND THE EASTERN
DIVISION OF THE COUNTY.—Rumours have been passing
current for some time of an intended change in the repre-
sentation of this borough, naming Messrs. Wm. Crisp and
E. Hopkinson, Esqrs., as the successors of Jos. Crisp and
T. W. C. MasterrEsqrs., for the borough, and Sir John W.
Guise in the room of the Hon. A. H. Moreton, for the
eastern division. These rumours have been repeated fre-
quently since the majority of 36, hut we can assure our
friends that with respect to the representation of the borough
nothing is known in the immediate circles of the present
members of any desire to change.
TEWKESBURY.—AIthough the Conservatives have not as
yet made any progress towards an election, we are assured
the greatest unanimity prevails amongst their ranks, and the
return of Mr. W. Dowdeswell is certain.

BRADFORD.—The Conservatives will, of course, bring for-
ward their old and tried friend-4. Hardy, Esq. ; and a se-
cond candidate is also talked of.
WOODSTOCK.—Our respected member, Mr. Tbesiger, ar-
rived at "zhe Bear Inn on Wednesday evening, and on the
following morning proceeded on a canvass, in anticipation of
dissolution. He was everywhere received with great cor-
diality and promises of support. We do not anticipate any
opposition to the re-election of the honourable member.

BILISTOL.—As yet we have not heard of any decisive
measures in respect of Bristol. If another Conservative
Candidate is to be brought forward as the colleague of Mr.
Miles, we trust that the party will not, as it has been hinted,
a divided one, for unless unanimity prevail, it will be useless
to anticipate success. • •

HIINTINGDONSHIRE.—A numerous assemblage of the
Conservative gentlemen of this county took place at the
Fountain inn, on Wedneiday, to consider what measures it
would be advisable to adopt for the support of that interest in
the county, under the prospect of an immediate dissolution of
Parliament. Colonel Linton, chairman of the Conservative
Association, presided on the occasion, and letters were read
from the two representatives expressive of their unwilling-
ness again to come forward in compliance with a requisition
soliciting them to do so. Resolutions were in consequence
entered into, pledging the meeting to support them, and a
subscription amounting to nearly £1,200 was immediately
entered into by those in the room—besides which, Mr. Fel-
lows will bear the whole of his expenses, and Mr. Thornhill
a great portion of his. With a body so united hand and
heart in the cause, and with " sinews of war" thus ready,
come the day when it will there can be no fear for the re-
sult.

EnimilvitGli.•—Although the whigs—that is, the Clique—
are generally in favour of Mr. Macauley, there is a schism
amongst them with respect to Sir J. Campbell, who has been
strongly advised by some of his quondam leading supporters
not to come forward again. At the same time, we are incli-
ned to believe that, should the Clique receive orders from
head-quarters not to adopt Sir John, they will yield these com-
mands. it is probable, therefore, that the present members
will again put up. We have reason to believe, however, that
a strong opposition is forming against Sir John Campbell in
the voluntary and ultra-liberal camp. A meeting, we under-
stand, was held last week, at the instance of Mr. Duncan
WLaren, when, after discussing the merits of Mr. Joseph
Hume (!) it was resolved to request Sir Culling Smith to
stand on the ultra-liberal and voluntary interest. Whether
Sir Culling Smith will comply with this requisition remains to
be seen ; but that it is intended in good earnest we are well
assured. With respect to the probable conduct of the con-
servatives, we can say nothing at present, as it will be greatly
regulated by circumstances. The idea of starting Mr. Gibson
Craig is still entertained by the whips, should it turn out that
Sir John Campbell will not go down.
LEITH.-Mr. Gladstone, a son of the eminent and public-
spirited merchant, has appeared on the conservative interest,
and with the best prospects of unseating Lord Advocate Ru-
therford, who is disliked by all parties, even those who hold
the same political principles.
HADDINGTON.-Mr. Steuart will not again contest this
district; but his place is likely to be assumed by Sir David
Baird. Sir David is a popular man ; but the district is so
thoroughly bound up with the agricultural interest that, even
were the conservative party less powerful than it was found
at the last election, his chance would be. extremely small.

GASGOW.-Mr. Dennistoun and Mr. Oswald, the present
whig members, will stand again. We hear they will again be

THE SCOTCH COUNTIES.—In the following Scotch coun-
ties, now represented by conservatives, no attempt will be
made to disturb the sitting members :—Ayr, Berwick, Dum-
fries, Elgin, East Lothian, Inverness, Kincardine, Lanark,
Linlithgow, Perth, Renfrew, Ross, Selkirk, Wigton. We
are not quite certain whether the whigs mean to contest
Peebleshire again ; the effort would be utterly useless. As
to Sutherlandshire, we suppose the nominee of the Dowager
Countess, Mr. Howard, will be again returned. In Midlo-
thian, Roxburghshire, Argyllshire, Dumbartonshire, Ster-
lingshire, Kirkcudbright, Forfarshire, Caithnessshire, the
prospects of the conservatives are most cheering and gratify-
ing.

If, therefore, Sir Robert Peel were at the present time to
move a resolution similar to that proposed by Sir J. Y.
Buller, ministers would have a majority of seven votes, pro-
vided the whole house were polled : but that is extremely
improbable, and there can hardly be a doubt that the follow-
ing ministerialists, besides several others not enumerated,
would absent themselves upon such an occasion.
