CITY OF DERRY.

---- - - -
The election for this city will be held on 'Monday next, the
12th instant. Sir Robert Ferguson, Bart., the late member,
will be returned without oppositionT. We regret that Mr. Boyd
should have been compelled to retire from the canvass which he
had commenced; as he is a gentleman pre-eminently qualified
to represent his native city in parliament. Many of his friends,
who, had they the Most distant hope that he would have come
forward, would have reserved their support for him, were pre-
viously bound to Sir Robert Ferguson, so that his retirement is
solely owing to the circumstance that the field was occupied by
his opponent before any idea of offering himself for 'the suf,.
frages of his fellow-citizens entered his mind. Unless a revolu-
tionary change takes place, We have no -doubt that Mr. Boyd
Will, on a future occasion, be the representative of Derry,, pro-
vided it shall be his own desire. lie is a man .suited for the
times, of decided principles, able to advocate the easilke of his
constituents, acquainted with the machinery of our govern-
ment, and ardently attached to it, and ofa mind too independent
to become the toolof any party. The manlinee's and candour he
evinced during his short canvass have added considerably to
the number of his frierlds.—Derry. Sentinel.

COUNTY KERRY..
Our accounts from Kerry are of the most cheering descrip-
tion. The canvass on behalf of the Knight of Kerry is pro-
ceeding, despite the efforts of 4r. O'Connell and the priests—
most prosperously. Theie is no device which Mr. O'Connell's
fertile mind can suggest, that has not beeu resorted to in order
to intimidate the electors. The most violent and seditious
placards are exhibited.about Tralee, anticipating the result of
the approaching election with the words " down with
Wellin -
ton and the tones, the total extinction of tithes and church fur
ever," and signed " Daniel O'Connell and Richard Leyne."
Some of these placards were posted on the military barracks,
when the commanding officer there, Major Kell, 37th, instantly
had them removed. The Knight of Kerry, it is well known,
was always an advocate for catholic emancipation. We have
seen how he has been requited. The following is the mild lan-
guage in which he reproves theungrateful
men who have turned
upon him—but the day of retribution is at hand. The following
is an extract from the address to the electors of Kerry published
by Mr. Fitzgerald:—
" When it is recollected (he says) that the whole course of
my long political life was devoted to the cause of civil and reli-
gious liberty, it must appear difficult to explain the opposition
with which my appeal for a renewal of your confidence has been
met. Ido not now however advert to it in the language of com-
plaint. I have reason to believe that many of those who opposed
me on the last election will now be amongst my warm sup-
porters."

CARLOW.
Two of the best and most influential country gentlemen in
Ireland—resident landlords, and benevolent men—Colonel
Bruen and Mr. Kavanagh—ar•e receiving all the support to
which their virtues and their philanthropy entitle thew.--Dub-
lin Mail.

ATII LONE
Nothing can be better than theNaccounts from this borough.
The priests having first denounced are now compelled. for want
of better, to fall back upon Mr. Talbot. But it won't do. The
game is up and the battle all but won.—Dublin Mail.

KING'S COUNTY.
Mr. Fitzsimon. after having, solemnly and deliberately re-
signed his retensions as a candidate, is actually in the field
again. this retracing of his steps hair evidently been the effect
of intimidation; but this is the tyranny to tvhich any Man who
lives but in the will of the agitator is chti6ed tosubinit.—Dubl4t
