Chronicle.

On Friday last a special general meeting of the members of
the Birmingham loyal and constitutional association was held
in the large room of Dee's Royal Hotel, for the purpose of
adopting resolutions, &c., expressive of their opinion upon the
present political state of the country, and of taking such steps
as might seem best fitted to counteract the efforts of the whig-
radicals, to weaken the strength of the conservative party in the
northern division of Warwickshire, by the general service of
notices of objection upon voters in that interest. The meeting
was most numerously and highly respectably attended. The
Earl of Dartmouth, the president of the association, took the
chair; and was supported by the Earl of Bradford, Mr. Richard
Spooner, the Rev. E. Begot, Messrs. Simcox, Armfield, Small-
wood, J. Walker, and R. W. Gem.
The requisition to Sir H. Vivian to become a candidate for
the representation of East Cornwall is already numerously
signed, and upwards of £2,000 is subscribed to carry on the con-
test, to which Sir William Moleswortb. and Mr. Rundle, M.P.
for Tavistoek, have put their names down for £2OO each.—

Extract of *letter from Leominster, dated the lit instant:—
" We expect warm work whenever parliament shall be dissolved.
Alderman Atkins, of London, offers himself in the conservative
interest along with Lord Hotham; and Mr. Bish and Mr.
Charles Pearson in the radical interest. For many. years this
borough bas returned members of opposite principles. It is
expected Lord Hotham and the Alderman will be returned by
a large majority.
CONSERVATIVE TRIBUTE TO T. P. MAUNSELL, ESQ., M.P.
FOR NORTHAMPTONSHIRE.—This splendid trophy, which has
lately been presented, consists of an elegant silver candelabrum
of six lights. It is a beautiful piece of workmanship—of an im-
posing height—standing on a three-sided base, with inscriptions
and armorial bearings, richly ornamented with oak wreaths and
ears of wheat, as emblematical of British produce, and with a
bible and crown on the corners, as significant of the graud ral-
lying points in the memorable contest of December, 1835; the
shaft surmounted by a figure of Victory. The Hon, Colonel
Stopford was-the organ of communication with Mr. Maunsell
on the occasion, at the request of a committee of management.
