POLITICAL MOVEMENTS.

ELECTION ON DlT.—Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire, it is
stated, is likely to be open to a new representative in Parlia-
ment, in consequence of the Hon. C. Grey being appointed
to an official situation abroad. The names of three candidates
for the vacant seat are spoken of,—viz., the Earl of Shelburne,
(son of the Marquess of Lansdowne;) George Henry Dash-
wood, Esq., of West-Wycombe Park, late M.P., for Bucks;
and Mr. Alderman Venables. We do not know what founda-
tion there is for this report.—Moratny Post.
DISSOLUTION OP PARLIAMENT.—RURIORIS of the approach
of this event continue so current that, though they may even-
tually prove false, it is desirable so far to treat them as correct,
as to be prepared for a dissolution in the spring. The Plymouth
Herald, (a paper which very probably has had an official hint,)
says,—" We have it from authority on which we can place re-
liance that the Parliament will be dissolved in March next."
THE DINNER TO SIR ROBIORT PEEL.—We have to men-
tion, that the Trades' House have agreed to place at the dis-
posal of the committee of management the magnificent gaselier
of the Trades' Hall, together with the Convenor's chair, to be
used at the forthcoming festival. This handsome proposal was
agreed to at a meeting of the house on Tuesday last, by a ma-
jority of 31 to a pitiful minority of 10.—Glasgow Courier.
THE REVJSION.—The Salopian Journal states that the regis-
ter for the northern division of Shropshire will contain at least
150 Conservative voters more than the preceding year.—ln Os-
westry, it adds, 90 new Conservative claims were established.
The Leicester Journal says that the register for the southern di-
vision of that county shows a majority in favour of Conservatives
of 155. The Northampton Herald states the result of the revision
of the northern division of Northamptonshire to be in favour of
the Conservatives by 22.

THE COMING ELECTION.—The York Conservatives talk of
bringing forward the Marquis of Douro, the Duke of Welling-
ton's son, in connection with Mr. Lowther. it is rumoured that
Lord John Russell will be invited to offer himself for Leeds, in
case of a general election.

THE CHURCH.

NEW CHURCH AT HABERGHAM EAVES.-011 the 10th inst.,
the Lord Bishop of Chester, consecrated the new church at
this place, which has recently been erected. The township,
which is in the chapelry of Burnley, contains a copulation of
7,000 inhabitants, and until this church was built it had no
pLee of worship connected with the establishment. The
church contains seats for 1,080 persons, one-half of which are
free for the poor. The Rev, T. G. James, 8.8. has been ap-
pointed curate.—Manchester Courier.
The handsome New Church at Tredegar was consecrated on
the 11th instant. The edifice was crowded in every part. The
Bishop of the diocese preached in the morning, and the Rev.
Chancellor delivered a serinott in Welsh in the afternoon.—
Bristol Journal.

1,702 votes; against the rate,994 persons, giving 1,389 votes.

PRESENTATION OF PLATE TO THE REV. ISAAC CLARKSON.
—On Monday week a handsome presentation of plate was made
by the parishioners of Wednesbury, to their vicar, the 11ev.
Isaac Clarkson, and on the salver a memorial was inscribed, of
which the following is a copy :—" Presented by the parishion-
ers of Wednesbury to the Rev. Isaac Clarkson, Vicar, the ful-
lowing pieces of Silver Plate; consisting of this salver, a coffee
Pot, tea pot, sugar basin, and cream ewer, together with twelve
silver table forks, twelve dessert forks, eighteen tea spoons, six
salt spoons, and four sauce ladles, as a small testimony of their
regard and esteem for his zealous and unwearied discharge of
his ministerial duties during the period of fifteen years.—No-
vetuber 7, 1836."—Leeds Intelligencer.
THE NEW CHURCH AT LEEDS.—The excavators for the New
Church about to be erected at Mount Pleasant, in Leeds, have
already commenced, and are expected to be so far advanced as
to admit of the first stone being laid on Friday, the 16th inst.,
on which day the Bishop of Ripon will re-open Christ Church,
Meadow-lane.—lbid.

The Bishop of Ripon has appointed the Rev. Charles Dodg-
son, M.A., formerly student's tutor of Christ Church, Oxford,
now Vicar of Daresbury, to be his lordship's examining chap-
lain. His lordship will hold his first ordination on the 15th of
January.—lbid.
Mr. Byng's splendid donation of £2,000 to the Metropolitan
Churches Fund ought not to pass unnoticed, and especially
furnishing, as it does, so wide a contrast to the total absence of
whig liberality in so many other quarters.—lbid.
