WORCESTERSHIRE (EAST).—Mr. Horace St. Paul and
Mr. Barneby have renewed the offer of their valuable ser-
vices to the electors of the eastern division of the county of
Worcester. It is expected that from the present posture of
affairs the whigs will not have the hardihood to offer any.op-
position whatever to the re-election of either of these gentle-
men. They have made a great talk indeed of a candidate or
candidates, who are willing and ready to solicit the suffrages
of the electors on " liberal " principles, but at present no
one has appeared, neither is it likely that any one will be in-
duced to come forward. If, however, a liberal should be so
foolish as to offer himself, his defeat .by an overwhelming
majority is inevitable.
WORCESTER.—After representing the city of 'Worcester
for more than 20 years, Col. Davies, on account of ill health,
has intimated his intention not again to seek a renewal of
the trust reposed in him. The liberals made an attempt to
get Sir Thomas Wilde, the solicitor-general, to come forward,
and it was authoratively announced that he had consented to
stand. Within the last few days, however, it has been whis-
pered that the the hon. and learned gentleman bas con-
sidered it right to beat a retreat. The whig-radicals thinking
Sir William Molesworth had plenty of money, and. was not
overburtheued with wisdom, thought, perhaps, he might be
induced to come forward along with Sir Thomas Wilde. A
requisition to the hon. baronet was aocordingly got up, re-
questing him to allow himself to be put in nomination. The
Cornish baronet was, however, rather too wide awake to be
caughtby the cunning whigs of Worcester, and he accord-
ingly declined their earnest invitation, on the ground that he
does not wish for a seat in the new parliament. ' The whigs
thus foiled are at their wits' ends. The election of Mr.
Bailey is certain, come what may. A London newspaper
stated that Alderman Farebrother had consented to stand as
a second conservative candidate with him, but• it does not
appear that there was any authority for such a statement ;
at all events no address has yet appeared from the alderman,
neither have exertions been made in his behalf. There is an
excellent opening for a conservative, 'and it is to be hoped
that one will come forward without delay. According to the
present feature of affairs, it is more than probable that he
and Mr. Bailey wonldbe elected without opposition.
