CAMBRIDGE

Our municipal election has terminated in the return of nine
conservatives and one radical. The tenth conservative can-
didate was beaten, in East Barnarle Ward, by a majority of
two—over-confidence lost his election. Of the retiring
councillors six were conservatives and four radicals. We
have now a clear working majority in the council, and on
the 9th instant will elect a second conservative mayor and
five conservative aldermen.
CARLI S LE.

All radicals—names not worth giving. These elections
excite so little interest that the conservatives never trouble
themselves about them. The mayorship will go a-hunting

PRESTON

The whole of the retiring councillors for this borough were
re-elected on Monday last without opposition—with the ex-
ception of John Swainson, Esq., of Fishwick Wards, who
had become ineligible on account of removal from the bo-
rough. In this gentleman's place, Mr. Spencer, surgeon,
has been re-elected. The reformers did not venture into the
field, notwithstanding their previous boast of contesting most
of the wards.

SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, OCT. 3

There was again rather a short supply of beasts at market, as
well as the quality generally inferior, considering the season of the
year. The best Beef brought upwards of 6d per lb., and middling
and inferior must be quoted down to Sid. Of Sheep the show was
pretty fair, nearly equal to that of last week, but the demand for
Mutton was not quite so brisk ; however, the best wether M utton
sold at last week's rates, but Ewes and inferior not so good sale,
and scarcely fetched last week's prices. There were a number of
mountain Sheep of very inferior quality, and which the holders
found no easy task to turn into money. All the cattle were sold,
but a few Sheep were left. Best Beef 6d to bid, middling and in-
ferior Sid to Sid, Wether Mutton 6id to 7d, Ewes, &c..6d to 60
per lb. There were a very prime lot of 30 or 40 Scotch Bullocks
from the neighbourhood of Ulverston, which met with a very ready
sale, and all quickly sold up.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, Nov. 2

Contrary winds having prevailed during part of last week,
our collective arrivals coastwise and from Ireland are small,
except those of Wheat, which are moderate, and of Oatmeal,
of which we have to report a further good supply; but,
beyond 820 qrs. Barley from Europe, and 960 bags of East
India Flour, we have no imports fresh in from abroad.
We have had a return of rain at the close of the week, and
more in the early part of yesterday, since which the weather
has been fine, and has now a settled appearance.
There was a thin attendance of the trade at this day's mar-
ket, and, notwithstanding the improvement stated in Mark-
lane yesterday, Wheats continued to move off slowly, fine
white foreign obtaining rather more money, with which ex-
ception we have no change to note in prices since this day
week.
Flour was also dull of sale, and all descriptions unaltered
in value.
Of Pease, chiefly for feeding purposes, a considerable
quantity was sold to the country, at the above noted advance.
Prime Malt in moderate demand, and is per qr dearer.
Oats and Oatmeal in middling request, without change in
prices.

MEETING OF THE DOCK COMMITTEE

The weekly meeting of the Dock Committee was held yes-
terday, when the following members were present,—Messrs.
Benn (chairman), T. Holt, Holmes, Middleton, Smith,
Booth, Aiken, Mellor, Evans, Bulley, Chapman, and Ripley.
A memorial from certain parties engaged in the fruit trade
was read, requesting accommodation to be provided for their
vessels, such as they had been accustomed to have in the
Salthouse Dock ; and suggesting that the north end of the
King's Dock be appointed. The memorial was received,
and the Harbour Master was ordered to afford every possible
accommodation in the King's Dock to the vessels engaged in
the fruit trade.

The Surveyor was authorised to keep open the Salthouse
Dock for one week longer.

The Solicitor's opinion upon the application of Messrs.
Rankin and Gilmore to return the dock dues upon the ship
Lady Falkland, was read. It stated that the committee
would not under the circumstances be justified in returning
the dues or any part of them.
Mr. T. HOLT reported that the stock of oil was reduced
to 600 gallons.—Some conversation took place relative to the
experiments now going on with the samples, in the course of
which it was stated that there were most remarkable varia-
tions between the practical proofs and the scientific tests.
—The sub-committee .were requested to order the usual
quantity for six months, namely, 3,000 gallons.

HULL CORN MARKET, Nov. 2

At this day's market the supply of farmers' Wheat is only moderate,
and the major part offering is only in very middling condition ; the
best dry samples meet ready buyers at an advance of is per qr. ;
secondary qualities no dearer, and difficult to quit. More money
was asked for old foreign, and but little business in consequence,
at last week's prices a fair business might have been done. Oats
are 6d to is per qr. ;dearer, and but few offering. Few of our
inalsters have yet commenced working—they arc, however, looking
after Parley, and pay for the best samples Is per qr. over last week's
rates ; grinding Barley scarce, and a good deal enquired after.
Old Beans are is per qr., and Peas is to 2s per qr. dearer than last

GLOUCESTER

On Monday the election of town councillors took place,
in room of those who went out by rotation, and who were
all liberals. The whole offered themselves again as candi-
dates, and have been returned, but not without a -very strop g
contest in the East Ward, in which Mr. W. H. Hughes and
Mr. John Stephens were candidates in the conservativ e
interest ; the result of the election remaining in considera -
ble doubt until within a few minutes of the close of the poll ,
when the numbers were declared—For Cooke, 243 ; Higga ,
210 ; Hughes, 231; Stephens, 171.
NEWCASTLE-UNDER-L YME.
The conservatives returned by large majorities the whole
of their candidates in both wards; and if their modesty had
not prevented them from offering more than two of their
party in the East Ward, they might in illat weld, as in the
West, have been exclusively triumphant. Five conservatives
and one radical returned.

BELFAST CORN EXCHANGE, Nov. 2

The weather has been very favourable during the week, and the
outstanding grain will be all secured. The raising of the potatoe
crop is proceeding rapidly, and the report of this crop is rather
more favourable. Farmers' Wheat coming to market in better
condition, and last week's prices are supported. Foreign Wheat is
very scarce here, and nearly all in the hands of one importer.
Wismar red Wheat is held at £l7, and Dantzig at £lB per ton.
Flour without change in value, with a steady demand. Barley
continues scarce, and prices are firmly supported. Malt, 27s to 29s
per barrel of 170 lbs. Oats are not coming out so freely as last
week, the quality is still inferior, and for such last week's rates are
barely maintained, whilst all of good quality commands fully former
prices. Oatmeal in fair demand, without alteration in rates. Some
meal of very fine quality sells from £l3 to £l3 lOs per toil.

BOLTON.
The charter being in dispute, the Conservatives have never
contested Bolton.

BIRMINGHAM

Our municipal elections passed off without a contest in
any of the Wards. Not the slightest interest was excited,
and the Council remains constituted as heretofore—all whigs
and radicals ; the latter, however, having an overwhelming
preponderance. Overtures were made by the leading whigs
to some of the conservative party, to suffer themselves to be
put in nomination, with a promise of liberal support, but
they declined the honour.

TEWKESBURY

The component parts of our Town Council being liberal,
the conservatives offered no opposition to the four persons
nominated on Friday evening last ; and on Monday they
were duly elected. Independent of these individuals, there
were others •` nominated" at the Friday evening meeting;
but as their majority reached only two each, they were
deemed unworthy the " sweet voices" of the burgesses on
Monday.

TER.
On Monday the election of town councillors took place,
in room of those who went out by rotation, and who were
all liberals. The whole offered themselves again as candi-
dates, and have been returned, but not without a very strong
contest in the East Ward, in which Mr. W. H. Hughes and
Mr. John Stephens were candidates in the conservative
interest; the result of the election remaining in considera-
ble doubt until within a few minutes of the close of the poll,
when the numbers were declared—For For Cooke, 243; Higgs,
210 ; Hughes, 231; Stephens,
NEWCASTLE-'UNDER-LYME.
The conservatives returned by large majorities the whole
of their candidates in both wards; and if their modesty had
not prevented them from offering more than two of their
party in the East Ward, they might in that ward, as in the
West, have been exclusively triumphant. Vive cqnservatives
and one radical returned,

SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, OCT. 3,

There was again rather a short supply of beasts at market, a:
well as the quality generally inferior, considering the season of th;
year. The best Beef brought upwards of lid per lb., and middling
and inferior must be quoted down to lid. Of Sheep the show we:
pretty fair, nearly equal to that of last week, but the demand fa
Mutton was not quite so brisk ; however, the best wether M uttot
sold at last week's rates, but Ewes and inferior not so good sale
and scarcely fetched last week's prices. There were a number o
mountain Sheep of very inferior quality, and which the holder
found no easy task to turn into money. All the cattle were sold
hut a few Sheep were left. Best Beef 6d to bad, middling and in
ferior 3id to sad, Wether Mutton 6id to 7d, Ewes, &c. 6d to 6.1(
per lb. There were a very prime lot of 30 or 40 Scotch Bullock;
from the neighbourhood of Ulverston, which met with a very read]
sale, and all quickly sold up.

GENERAL ELECTION

We have carefully gone over the various lists of new can-
didates for boroughs and counties in England and Scotland,
and, as far as we can at present anticipate, the following
gains will accrue to the conservatives. We give the list at
full length, viz. :

. . Estimated Gain to the Conservatives
1 London
2 Middlesex
3 Cornwall (East)
4 Cornwall (West)
5 Leeds 1
6 Somerset (East)
7 Exeter
8 Cheshire (North)
9 Cheshire (South)
10 -Yorkshire (West Riding) -
11 Northumberland (North)
12 York
13 Northallerton
14 Worcestershire (West) . 1
15 Dorsetshire
16 Hull
17 Lincolnshire (North)
1S Shields (South).
19 Lincolnshire (South)
20 Guildford
21 Sussex (East)
22 Sussex (West)
23 Surrey (West)
24 Plymouth
25 Hertford
26 Herts
27 St. Alban's

There are, doubtless, as many more seats to be gained by
Conservatives ; but these we will allow as a set-otf against
the few trifling losses which they may, and probably will,
sustain.
Now for Scotland. • The Conservatives will gain in

Edinburgh (County),
Roxburghshire
Stirlingshire
Haddington Burghs .
Argyllshire
Elgin

1 Seat

At least six votes, to say nothing of the various other
burghs, all of which are now held by the radicals. The gain
in Ireland, we estimate, on the whole, at about five or six
votes—thus,
There will be in England a gain of
Scotland
Ireland 6

Total 43 Seats.
Sir Robert Peel has already a majority of one vote in the
present House of Commons. The above gain of 43—say 45
seats, will make a difference of 90 votes on a division. Thus,
on the late division, there were—
CONSERVATIVES. LIBERALS.
312 311
Add 45 Deduct 45

Making R majority of 91 in favour of Sir R. Peel in the new
parliament ;• and probably it will amount to 100. This is
cheering.

STATISTICS OF THE GENERAL ELECTION.
The following'is an analysis up to the present time of the
number of new conservatives and liberals who have started
for various boroughs and counties, and the number of con-
servatives and liberals retiring altogether from parliament!—

The object of thesAeetures is to draw attention to this

1. The union of the Church with Christ, the security in
Christ, the glory with Christ, and the madness (gold) for
tha glory (Schechinah) of Christ.
2. That God, when lie was separating a pocaliar people
unto himself. by a wall of ordinances, placed ii the very
centre of that exclusive economy, as his chosen seat, the
emblems of that state when the wall would be taken away,
and both Jew and Gentile (the two Cherubim) be one in
Jesus (the Mercy Seat). Eph. ii. 14, 15.
3. That even ill Eden, when God was driving man from
his presence into the wilderness of the world, ha plaetd
before him, as the symbol of his presence, the emblem of
that state when he would take hint back to his own bosom
and glory for ever.

4. thiit the whole ground plan and elevation has been
drawn by the great Architect himself, and placed before the
Church from the beginning, as one who knew the end from
the beginning.

5. That there has been no pulling down—no altering--no

TO THE GENTRY, CLERGY, AND ELECTORS OF
THE SOUTHERN DIVISION OF THE COUNTY
OF CHESTER.
GENTLEMEN,
ADissolution of Parliament being evidently at hand, I beg
most respectfully to announce that the pledge given by
me to afford you, at this EVENTFUL CRISIS, an opportunity
of recording your votes, I am now ready to redeem.
The present Government—no longer an independent Go-
vernment—too weak to administer the affairs of this country,
and too tenacious of the advantages of office to relinquish
them, has succumbed to popular clamour „and proposed a
total change in our just and admirablerykem
W of CORN-
LAS—a measure which, if carried, viould not only de-
prive the English landowner and farmerpf their property and
the English labourer of his means of %übsistence, but the
manufacturer of his best and most certain market, thereby
proving ultimately as injurious to the one interest as imme-
diately destructive to the other.
Members of the IRISH ROMAN CATHOLIC PARTY now
form a portion of the administration of the country, which,
in my opinion is incompatible with THE SAFETY OF OUR
PROTESTANT CHURCH AND PROTESTANT LIBERTIES.
A Government thus composed, and so regardless of the
peace and well-being of the nation, as the existing one has
proved itself, by the introduction of measures alike detri-
mental to both, is altogether unworthy, and undeserving of
our confidence.
Having on a former occasion issued an address, I will only
now repeat the declaration then made, that " I submit to the
thraldom of no party ;" and, in the event of a dissolution of
Parliament, I shall throw myself on the support of those
Electors who, like me, are determined to take that INDE •
PENDENT COURSE which I conscientiously believe the exist-
ing state of affairs requires of every friend (whether Church-
man or Dissenter) to the PROTESTANT RELIGION, and of
every well-wisher to his Country.
I have the honour to remain,
Gentlemen,
With sincere respect,
Your very faithful servant,
JOHN TOLLEMACHE.

NORTH CHESHIRE

TO THE GENTRY, CLERGY, FREEHOLDERS,
AND OTHER ELECTORS OF THE NORTHERN
DIVISION OF THE COUNTY OF CHESTER.
GENTLEMEN,
A S an early Dissolution of Parliament is now generally
expected, it becomes my duty to redeem the Pledge
given by me a few months ago, and in conformity with your
wish at that time so flatteringly expressed to me, to announce
myself a Candidate for your Suffrages at the ensuing Elec-
tion.

Having so lately in my former address, and also in a most
extensive Personal Canvass, fully explained my Political
Sentiments, I might content myself with repeating the ex-
pression of my fixed and unaltered adherence to those Con-
servative Principles upon which I then solicited your sup-
port. There is, however, one question, to which as it is of
the most grave importance, and now occupies the attention
of all classes, I think I am bound in duty to you more par-
ticularly to advert.
I think that a just and adequate protection to the Agrieul-
tural Interest is perfectly consistent with the fullest develop-
ment of Trade and essential to the welfare of the Country.
To a total Repeal, therefore, of the Corn-laws I will give my
most decided apposition. With respect to the best means of
affording this Protection a difference of opinion may exist;
—my objection to a fixed Duty is that it could not be main-
tained, or if maintained, in times of pressure would operate
prejudicially upon the Manufacturing and Labouring elasses*
I am inclined therefore to adhere to the Principle of a
Sliding Scale. I have no hesitation, however, in saying
that some alteration in the present system does appear to me
desirable, and I should give my support to say measure
brought forward by a Government in whom I coins plan
reliance, which, eonsistently with the irrent
priticiple of
affording real Protection to the Rome Provinces* Ad* "NPI
least possible pressure upon the Consumer, wonld tot_
astd
the widest extension of the National Coninieree, and as
a stimulus to the present distressed state of Trade.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
With great respect,
