ject remains to be seen, but it argues no great confidence in
their own strength, or their influence with the "liberal" por-
tion of the constituency, when we find our mis-representa-
tives obliged to trade on the popularity of the great leader of
the political union, " the man of the masses," or " King
Torn, as he is familiarly styled io Llirmitigham.

CAMBRIDGE (COUNTY).-=-Mr. Eaton and Mr. E. Yorke
stand as hitherto on the conservative interest, to be joined in
all probubility by a new candidate on the same side; whilst
Mr. Townley will look to the support of the whig party iu
the county.
be very onerous CIRENCESTER.-Mr. Cripps retires. We believe that it

is the intention of William Cripps, Esq., barrister-at-law, to
solicit the suffrages of the electors in the place of his esteemed
father.
CORNWALL (WEST).--,Lord Boscawen has commenced a
personal canvass, and next week intends visiting the several
towns of this division. It is said that Mr. Praed, who has
for some time represented St. Ives, will start in conjunction
with his lordship ; but the report requires confirmation. A
knot of radicals despatched from Redwith, on Friday, a soli-
citation to a relation of the Hon. Mrs. Agar to contest the
county, conjoined with Mr. Pendarves.

Dui3:llA.Ni(Sount).—ln the room of Mr. Pease, Lord H.
Vane comes forward. The conservatives will bring forward
Lord Dungannon,.at present M.P. for the city of Durham, a
requisition to whom has been most numerously signed.
ESSEX.—The members for the southern and northern di-
visions of this county have issued addresses to their constitu-
ents, and there is not at present any appearance of opposi-
tion. At Colchester Sir G. H. Smyth and Mr. Sanderson
are the only candidates in the held, and at Maldon we do
not bear that anything islet stirring. Harwich, however,
promises a warm contest. Mr. Berries has declined pre-
senting himself again, and has joined Mr. Fitzroy Kelly at
Ipswich ; but we have just learned from an authentic source
that Mr. Attwood, of Hylands, Widford, will offer himself

Essex Herald.
GATESHEAD.—Mr. Hutt will walk over the course. There
is no chance of a successful opposition.
GLOUCESTER, (EAST), JUNE 15.—A public meeting was,
yesterday, held at the Bell Inn in this city, to consider what
course the conservatives'should pursue on the present occa-
sion. Upwards of 300 of the principal gentry and yeomen
of the county attended, Sir M. H. Beach, Bart., in the chair,
at which it was resolved that the Hon. Francis Charteris
should be ,solicited to allow himself to be placed in nomina-
tion, in conjunction with Mr. Codrington. Sir John Guise
is the liberal candidate, but it is believed he will retire, and

allow the two conservatives to walk the course.
GLOUCESTER (CITY).---Lord Loftus has accepted an invi-
tation to be put in nomination in conjunction with Mr.
Hope. The liberal candidates are Mr. Phillpotts and Capt.
Berkeley, R.N., now in the Mediterranean.

HALIFAX.-Sir George Sinclair stands for this borough.
It is understood that Mr. Gully, formerly M.P. for Ponte-
fract, will be put in nomination.
Irswieih—Most active exertions are being made in this
borough by the " liberals" to secure the return of Mr. Rigby
Wason. At present he stands "by himself, alone," no other
" liberal" candidate having ventured to come forward. If
the conservatives exert themselves as they are in duty bound
tct do, the election of Mr. Herries and Mr. Fitzroy Kelly,
by considerable majorities, is quite certain. Mr. Herries is
so well known as a public man, and his talents are so univer-
sally acknowledged, that it would be idle to say anything in
his favour:- It may, however, be observed that his election
would do honour to any constituency in the kingdom ; and
he is a man of whom the borough of Ipswich may justly feel
proud. As for Mr. Fitzroy Kelly, his attention to the inte-
rests of his constituents, during the few years he has repre-
sented them, and his consistency as a politician, fully entitle
him to a renewal of the trust which Ipswich has reposed in
him. There is, we are happy to add; no reason to fear that
the good cause will suffer in Ipswich.
KENT (WEST).-It is expected that Mr. Hodges will re-
sign ; but should he not do so, Lord Marsham will certainly
be returned in his place
LANCASTZI

Mr. Greene and Mr. Marton are the pre-
sent conservative candidates and members. On Friday week
a Mr. F..Dashwood, cousin of Lord Lauderdale, made his
appearance, addressed the electors, and commenced an active

Beresford. • •

NORTHAMPTON COUNTY.—Sir C. Nnightley and Mr.
Cartwright will walk over the southern division, and Mr.
Maunsell and Mr. Augustus O'Brien for the northern, as it
is useless for any one to oppose them.
A very high and deserved compliment has been paid to
G. Payne, Esq. (of Sulby Hall), in the shape of a requisition,
signed by more than SOO conservative electors, soliciting him
to come forward for the borough ; and it is to be deeply re-
gretted that his health will not permit him to accept it, as he
is sufficiently popular here, from the interest he has taken
in the sporting and other matters in the county, to have
secured his-election, and would have stood a better chance
of success than any other man ; but I am happy to inform
you that Sir Henry Willoughby has consented to come for-
ward, with almost a certainty of success. We trust that
Northampton will be the means of adding one more to Sir
R. Peers majority in the new parliament. We have most
favour ble news from Peterborough.
PENRYN AND FALMOUTH.—FALMOUTH, June 12.—0❑
Friday night the conservatives met at Selley's Hotel, in the
latter town, pursuant to a few hours' notice, when were pre-
sent at least 230 electors. The business was mainly to ap-
• point a committee of the two boroughs to manage the affairs
of the ensuing- election, and to decide on two candidates to
fight the battle of the constitution on their suffrages. It
.appears that five gentlemen had proffered their services, and
of these the committee, who at once began their labours, de-
termined to introduce to the electors Messrs. Wyat and
Gwyn ; the former is the eminent architect in London, and
both are every way qualified to come down here.
REIGATE.—It is said that Bedford, the tinman, is in
doubt whether he shall contest this borough with Lord
Eastnor, or whether he shall oppose Sir Robert Peel, at
Tamwortb.

SALFORD.—The radicals are making desperate efforts here
in favour of Mr. Brotherton. A subscription has been
opened to defray his expenses, at the head of which is Sir
Thomas Potter for £lOO. Money,- money, is now the war-
cry of the party, for what object may hereafter come to
light.

SALISBURY, JUNE 14.—A1l three candidates were active
again in the field this day—namely, Wadham Wyndham,
Esq„ M.P., William Bird Brodie, Esq., M.P., and the
Elan. Anthony John Ashley, Esq. Mr. Brodie, one of our
present liberal (?!!) members; considered himself so perfectly
safe on Saturday last, that he deemed a committee to be per-
fectly useless ; the result of this day's canvass has, however,
taught him a more useful lesson, and unless the state of
things take a very different turn, he will hardly venture to
come to the poll. , _

SHEFFIELD.-Private letters state that it is by no means
improbable that Mr. Urquhart and Colonel Taylor, the con-
servatives, or at least one of them, will be elected.
Shh.zwsuußy.—So far as the canvass of Mr. D'lsraeli
and Mr. Tomline has gone, it has been highly satisfactory.
Sir Love Jones Parry, the eccentric whig candidate, has not
much chance of success, though he and his friends speak
confidently of the result of the ensuing contest. It is very
probable that both, or at least one of the conservative candi-
dates, will be elected. _ . _

SOirrif STAFFORDSHIRE.—It is at length finally deter-
Mined,- not to contest this division of the county, as, al-
though a decided progress has been made by the conserva-
tives since the last election, yet the registry is so equally
balanced, that it would be a waste of strength, which can be
better enfployed elsewhere, to run the hazard of a contest.
Should the Conservative 'Registration Association continue
to use the efforts which they have hitherto done with so
much -success, the southern division of the county of Staf-
ford will speedily be rescued from whig dominion.
STROUD.—M. W. Meryweather, Esq., of Norton Couch,
has addressed the electors, announcing himself as a candi-

date in the event of Lord John Russell standing for London.
He is in favour of the ballot, a .£lO franchise with no restric-
tions, and a free importation of corn at a low fixed duty.
SURREY (EAST).—Mr. Kemble and Mr. Antrobus intend
to stand for the county when the dissolution takes place, and
there can be nu doubt they will both be re-elected.

•TA MWOUTH.—The return of Sir R. Peel is, of course,
sure, and Captain A'Court again offers himself as a candi-
date. ,Marmion E. Ferrers, Esq., has addressed the electors
in behalf of his relative Captain Townshend, who is abroad,
and an active canvass, in behalf of Captain Townshend, has
been commenced.

TEWKESBURY.—A very severe contest is expected in this
borough. Mr. Martin and Mr. Dowdeswell, the present
members, will again seek the suffrages of the electors. The
liberals of the town have brought down Mr. Easthope, a son
of the member for Leicester, as a candidate along with Mr.
Martin, and very strenuous exertions will be made to secure
his return in the room of
,Mr. Dowdeswell. It behoves the
conservatives to put their shoulders to the wheel right man-
fully, or they will assuredly see the representation of the
town wrested from them, and placed in the hands of one
who is an utter stranger to the town, who is totally unknown
as a public man, and whose principal claim to the distinction
he seeks, is that of
.being the son of the lion. member for
Leicester. Deep disgrace will be reflected on the conserva-
tives of Tewkesbury if they 'allow this young, inexperienced,
and unknown man to snatch the representation of the town
from the hands of the present member, who has always paid
the greatest attention to the local concerns of .his constitu-
ents, and who, on all occasions, has proved himself a con-
sistent .pol itician .
WARWICKSIIIRE.—For the northern division of this county
no opposition appears to be anticipated. Mr. W. S. Dug-
dale and Sir J. E. E. Wilmot have addressed their constitu-,
ency. Fur the southern division, Sir John Mordaunt and
Mr. E. J. Shirley have announced, to their constituents con-
jointly that they intend again to solicit their suffrages. With-
regard to the election for the borough of Warwick nothing
has yet transpired.—Birmingham Gazelle.
WALSALL.—J. N. Gladstone, Esq. has announced his in-
tention of again soliciting the suffrages of the electors of this
borough. In reference to the question of the corn laws the
hon. gentleman observes in his address, published on Satur-
day :—" The total and immediate repeal of the corn laws
would, I believe, have a most injurious effect on the working
classes of this country, and instead of increasing the amount
of employment, would be much more likely to diminish it and
the means of purehasing the necessaries of life. I consider
that a fluctuating duty is preferable to a fixed one, and I wish
to impress on your attention that bad the plan proposed by
Lord John Russell been in operation during the last three
years,. the duties paid on imported wheat would have
amounted to nearly one million more than has been paid
under the existing.laws-7the epithet of bread taxer, there-
fore, belongs morq justly'.to him and his supporters than to
those to whom it ig.frequently applied ; but lain by no means
opposed to all change in the present corn laws, and I think
that foreign corn ought to be admitted at a lower rate of duty
than it is at present." Mr. Gladstone in the concluding part
of his address, advocates Mr. Huskisson's views as to free
trade, and expresses his opinion " that fair protection 'should
be the rule, and prohibition only exist as the exception
where special and peculiar circumstances may render its'
adoption necessary." Mr. Gladstone is expected to pay his
respects to the electors, and to enter fully into the great
question now at issue, as soon as released from his parliament-
