LokN d CITY. The Conservative Association for the City of London

have, upon four candidates to represent the City in Parliament, and have issued circulars to that effect, with a blank envelope enclosed for-the individuals addressed to return their pledges of support. The four candidates are Mr. George Lyall, Mr. John Masterman, Mr. John Pirie, Mr. Wolverley Attwood. The circular is signed by Mr. _Russell Ellice.

The Morning Chronicle contradicts on authority the statement of the Times that Mr. Pattison intends to retire.

The requisition to Lord John Russell was presented on Thursday. The Standard says that Lord John did not return a definite answer to the deputation who presented it.

MARYLEBONE. Mr. G. A Young has challenged Commodore Napier to submit their conflicting claims to a public meeting of Liberal electors, and offers to withdraw if a majority of the meeting should think the Commodore the more eligible candidate. To this mode of adjusting the dispute the Commodore demurs, on the ground that it would be impossible to exclude non-electors and Tories from a public meeting. A preliminary ballot was rejected, because electors who had never voted, and who might be admitted to ballot, might ultimately turn out to be Tories. Sir Charles Napier's friends, however, have agreed to settle the question, by sending round persons accredited by both parties, to take lists at the houses of the electors of those who will support either candidate ; the one shown to be in a minority to retire. Sir James Ha- milton has accepted the invitation of the Tories to stand with Mr. Bond Cabbell.

Sir James Hamilton and Mr. Bond Cabbell attended a meeting of the electors on Wednesday. Mr. H. T. Hope was their chairman ; and they were supported by Sir James Cockburn and other friends. Their speeches, of the regular Church-and-state order, were not remarkable:

Cabbell's was very commonplace; pd. Sir James's was only not

so because it was uncommonly feeble. However, he craved indulgence- on account of his rawness.

TOWER HAMLETS. Colonel Fox, who stands in the room of Dr- Lushington, met the electors in the Court-house, on Wednesday. In his speech, and in reply to divers queries, he professed himself a friend: to religious liberty in its broadest and most comprehensive interpreta- tion, and against all civil disabilities on account of creed ; willing " to concede to the people every. privilege to which they were entitled ac- cording to the ancient spirit of the constitution " ; opposed to any tax. at all upon grain, but for a gradual abolition of the impost ; of opinion that all Europe should be as one country in the interchange of commo- dites ; that every church should be paid by those who attend it, but that alteration of the law was a matter of time and thought ; that the Poor-law was not a failure, though he would remedy defects ; and he declared himself neutral on the Ballot. He had no wish to go into Parliament with a bundle of pledges under his arm. There was a con- siderable muster of Chartists, who wanted to draw the Colonel out on the subject of Universal Suffrage, Ballot, and short Parliaments ; but he was not very tractable. An amendment was proposed on the reso- lution to support him, declaring him not a fit and proper candidate ; but the original resolution was carried.

The preceding account is abridged from another paper. A corre- spondent tells us, that when the amendment was proposed, some of the Whig party created such a disturbance by their indecent interruption„ that no one could tell what he was voting for, and there is reason to be- lieve that some voted against the amendment which they intended to support. The disgust consequent upon this conduct has induced some influential electors to seek for another candidate ; and Mr. T. P. E.. Thompson, a son of Colonel Thompson, and a promising young barris- ter, sincere and zealous in politics, has consented to stand.

WESTMINSTER. Mr. Leader and Sir De Lacy Evans are in commu- nication with the Westminster Reform Society ; and active steps are in progress to secure their reelection.

THE PROVINCES.

ANDOVER. Lord Huntingtower, a Tory, has addressed the electors. as an Anti-Poor-law candidate.

ANGLESEY. It is rumoured that Mr. Merrick, the late candidate-, will contest the county, with either the Honourable W. 0. Stanley or Colonel Frederick Paget, the Whigs.

ASstrON'IINDER-LYNE. Mr. Hindley is canvassing to insure his re- election.

AYLESBURY. Mr. Bickford having withdrawn, say the Tory papers, Mr. Rice Clayton stands with Mr. Hamilton. The Reform Club of the place have agreed to support none but a Free-trader, have invited Mr. Fleetwood Wells, and have opened a subscription to pay the expenses of the election. There is a report prevalent, says the Morning Chronicle; that Mr. Alcock will come forward; and in that case Mr. Wells would coalesce with him.

BANBURY. Mr. Vincent, the Chartist, has offered himself to the choice of the electors.

BATH. Lord Duncan has consented to stand with Mr. Roebuck, as the second Liberal candidate. He joined his fellow candidate last week.

Mr. Roebuck and Lord Duncan attended together at a meeting of the Liberal electors in the Guildhall, on Monday. The building was thronged to suffocation ; and the greatest unanimity prevailed.

BEDFORD COUNTY. Lord Charles Russell has issued an address sig- nifying his intention of resigning his seat for the county in the event of a dissolution. The reason he assigns for this course is, that he differs in opinion with a great portion of his constituents on the Corn-laws; and therefore thinks that his political connexion with them should cease. A Conservative, says the Northampton Herald, will be put for- ward in the person of W. Astell, Esq., of Everton House, many years a Director of the East India Company.

BIRMINGHAM. Owing to some " peculiar and popular plan," as it is called by the Times, no names of Tory candidates are yet fixed upon to oppose Mr. Muntz and Mr. Scholefield ; but Mr. Richard Spooner, an Anti-Poor-law man and Currency-doctor, is the favourite of the party ; and Mr. W. C. Alston, Mr. Whateley, Mr. Stapleton, Mr. Barker, and Mr. James Taylor the banker, are all mentioned for his coadjutor.

BOLTON. Mr. Cobden having accepted the requisition from Stock- port, does not stand for Bolton ; the only candidate, therefore, in the field is Mr. Ainsworth. Mr. Bolling, it is said, will retire, and two Conservatives will be brought forward. Mr. Edmund Ainsworth and Mr. Andrew Knowles are the only Liberals at present talked of as likely to be invited.—Manchester Guardian.

BRdMBER AND SHOREHAM. Lord Edward Howard has met the electors.

BRIDGNORTH. An active canvass has been personally instituted by each of three candidates ; Mr. Whitmore and Mr. Pigot, the present two Tory Members, and Mr. Frederick Howard, the son of an officer immor- talized in Childe Harold for his fall at Waterloo, a Liberal. Among Mr. Howard's Committee are Lord Leveson, the Honourable H. H. Tracey, who was unseated for Bridgnorth on a point of form, and Mr. Wolryche Whitmore. Mr. Wolryche Whitmore, says the Globe, has determined to give scope to his Free Trade opinions at this important crisis; having hitherto deferred to the opposite opinions of his relatives.

BRISTOL. The correspondent of the Brighton Gazette names other candidates besides Sir James Graham ; Mr. Herries, Mr. Tindal Bruce, and Mr. Baillie, son of Colonel Hughe Duncan Baillie, the Member for Honiton. The last is supposed to be the candidate selected. The Times names Mr. C. Blisset as the second Tory candidate; but fears that Mr. F. H. Berkeley " will be allowed to sneak in again without a contest." The Morning Chronicle says that Mr. Tripp, the rejected candidate at the last election, has, within a week after his withdrawal from the ap- proaching contest, again been persuaded to stand by the Tories.

BUCKINGHAM COUNTY. Mr. Scott Murray, says the Morning Post, succeeds Mr. Harcourt, in conjunction with Sir W. L. Young and Mr. Dupre.

CHELTENHAM. Mr. John Butler has issued an address in which he states his intention of contesting the borough with the Honourable C. F. Berkeley. He stands forward as "an independent Conservative, and unconnected with any petty clique or party." The Bristol Standard mentions a report, that Captain Rushout, the nephew of Lord North- wick, will be opposed to Mr. Berkeley.

It is expected by the Conservatives that Mr. James Agg Gardener will stand.

CHESHIRE, NORTH. A subscription has been opened at Stockport, to defray the cost of Mr. E. J. Stanley's reelection, and defeat the coalition of the Tory candidates, Mr. Tatton Egerton, the present Member, and Mr. Cornwall Legh.

CORNWALL, WEST. According to the Morning Post, Sir Charles Lemon has announced bis intention of retiring.

DENBIGH COUNTY. It is rumoured that Mr. Myddleton Biddulph will contest this county. The Honourable Mr. Cholmondeley will -retire, to make room for his cousin, Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, who recently attained his majority.—Times.

DENBIGH BOROUGHS. Should Mr. Wilson Jones decline seeking the honour of again representing this district of boroughs, Mr. Townsend Mainwaring will be the candidate on the Tory interest. He will be opposed, we learn, by Captain Myddleton Biddulph. of Chirk Castle. Both gentlemen made their appearance in Denbigh on Saturday.— Times.

DERBY. The friends of Mr. Strutt and Mr. Ponsonby, the present Members, are actively canvassing in their behalf.

DURHAM, SOUTH. It is rumoured that Mr. Pease retires ; and Lord William Poulett, a stanch Conservative, and brother of the Earl of Darlington, will be returned in his stead.—Northern Times.

DURHAM, SOUTH. The Morning Chronicle announces Mr. Henry Vane, a relative of the Duke of Cleveland, to stand with Mr. Bowes on the retirement of Mr. Pease.

FALMOUTH. Mr. Freshfield has positively declined to stand for Fal- mouth: and Mr. Hutchings also withdraws. The only candidate in the field is Dr. Bowring, whose chance is considered to be very good indeed.— Western Times.

FLINTSHIRE. The Honourable E. M. Lloyd Mostyu opposes the present Tory Member, Sir Stephen Glynne.

'FLINT BURGHS. Sir Richard Bulkeley has addressed the electors in the Liberal interest. Sir Richard, an agriculturist, prefers a fixed corn-duty to a sliding-scale. Mr. Dundas, a Whig, retires.

The Liberals have announced one candidate, Captain Frederick Berkeley, who was rejected some years since ; and have also forwarded a requisition to Mr. Phillpotts, the present Member, who has announced his intention to retire.

HARWICH. The Globe announces " one of the Secretaries of her Majesty's Treasury," and Mr. John Bagshaw, as candidates for the bo- rough.

HASTINGS. A Free-trade and electioneering dinner was given to Mr. Robert Hollond, the Liberal Member, on Tuesday week.

Mr. Frederick North, who has been invited to stand as a Liberal, re- fuses to give any pledges ; avows himself in favour of the Government proposals as to sugar and timber ; but is less distinct with respect to the -Corn-laws : he thinks all corn-laws bad "in the abstract," but will "not easily adopt the experimental policy of legislation on a nation's bread" ; and he will not pledge himself to oppose Sir Robert Peel. Neither party seems to be caught by Mr. North's trimming professions. Mr. Planta, the old Tory Member, is canvassing.

HERTFORD COUNTY. Mr. Hale has declined to stand for the Tories, -on account of ill health. The Honourable Dudley Ryder has con- sented; and at a meeting.of the Tories on the 3d, a subscription of 10,0001. was made to return him free of expense ; one gentleman sub- scribing 3,0001.

The Liberals have invited a second Reformer to stand with Mr. Rowland Alston' the Honourable T. Brand, in opposition to the third Tory candidate, Mr. Ryder.

HERTFORD BOROUGH. In this borough an attempt, it seems, is to be made to turn out Mr. Cowper ; and it is said that Sir M. Farquhar is to stand with Lord Mahon. At present nothing decisive is known.

Irswica. Mr. Wason has addressed the electors.

KIDDERMINSTER. Mr. Godson attended a public meeting of the electors on Monday. The town, says a Tory account, was crowded ; a cavalcade a mile and a half long, containing two hundred voters, forty carriages, several gentlemen on horseback, and an immense concourse -of the working-classes, escorted the Tory member into the borough. He spoke with great confidence of defeating the Liberal candidate, Mr. Rennie.

KNARESBOROUGH. The Honourable Charles Langdale, one of the liberal Members for Knaresborough, says the Morning Chronicle, again offers his services to that borough ; and a gentleman named Massy Hutchinson has also offered himself to the electors in the Liberal in- terest. Mr. Rich retires from the representation. The Times says that Mr. Ferrand, of Harden Grange, has been invited by the Tory electors. LANCASTER. Mr. F.

WORCESTER. In mentioning the issue of Mr. Bailey's address on offering himself again to his constituents, the Worcester Journal says, " His colleague has not yet been confidently selected from among the miscellaneous group of candidates which the Whig-Radicals have pro- duced. It is however reported, that Sir William Molesworth contem- plates the honour of being put in nomination by that party. Mr. Hardy, the Free-trading opponent of Corn-laws and Church-rates, has given way at his approach ; and the contest will now most probably rest between the Solicitor-General and Sir William."

YORK. Mr. Barkley, the Radical candidate, has retired. In, an address published by him on Saturday lust he, says- " Having consented to refer the matters urged by certain of my friends in this city to induce me not to contest its representation on the present occa- sion, 1 feel bound by the decision to retire. But I must state, that I made a preliminary stipulation as to the monies lately distributed in York, and have received a personal assurance, in which I have full confidence, that the pay- ment would have been made independent of the interests of any candidate. I have also received an explanation disclaiming any intention of imputing to me, directly or indirectly, any approval of such distribution of money." The money here alluded to is two sovereigns, which had been given to such of the freemen who voted some years ago for the Honourable E. R. Petre as are now in the Liberal interest. It is generally under- stood that the referee was Mr. Joseph Hume, who was consulted on his recent visit to Leeds. Sergeant Atcherley, the same day, issued an address, stating that he is ready to again contest the city on Conserva- tive principles. Mr. Lowther will, of course, stand on the same interest. —Times.

IRELAND.

ARMAGH. Lord Charlemont's brother, the Honourable Mr. Caulfield, is expected to offer himself.

The Tories name Mr. Charles Fox, who was formerly returned for Longford, as a candidate for the city, "backed by the interest of his Grace the Lord Primate."

ATHLONE. Mr. O'Beirne has withdrawn his claims in favour of Mr. Daniel Farrell, of Beechwood. The latter, says the Times, was last year one of the " pure Whigs "; but the refusal of Government to appoint him to the Shrievalty of the county of Roscommon has altogether altered his views as to their policy, and he is now a Repealer.

BELFAST. Mr. Emerson Tennent, the Tory Member, has invited Mr. J. D. Ross, the new Liberal candidate, to a public discussion of the 'Budget propositions, " without the heat or excitement of a political discussion." Mr. Ross replies, that such a debate would be sure to de- generate into a political struggle, or a contest for personal triumph; and he suggests that it should be had in writing.

CLARE COUNTY. The Tories have called on Mr. Crofton Moore Vandeleur, of Kilrush House, to offer himself as a candidate for the county.

Coax COUNTY. The Dublin Evening Mail, anticipates a " walk over " for Lord Bernard and Mr. Leader.

Mallow. Our Liberal friend, Sir Denham Norreys, the present Member, will be opposed by Mr. Longfield of Longueville, the late re- jected candidate for the county of Cork.— Waterford Chronicle.

Mayo. In an "Hereditary-bondsman" letter, Mr. O'Connell ex- presses himself " particnlarly anxious" about Mayo : he tells the electors that it would be " shameful to desert" Mr. Blake ; and exhorts them to reelect Mr. Dillon Browne, a " most valuable Repealer."

NEWRY. Sir John Milleya Doyle Is opposed by Mr. Dixon, who stood'for Kinsale in 1834. Mr. Dixon, to judge from his speech at a meeting of electors, is an earnest and hearty Reformer. Here is an extract : speaking of the questions of the day, he said- " These are questions not between the Whig and the Tory, or the Radical and the Whig ; but they form a long-standing and fearful account to be settled between the man who has money and the man who has none—between the owner of the soil and the eater of its produce. But, my friends, it never will be settled till you succeed in transfusing a larger portion of popular spirit into the Commons House. Whigs and Radicals, as well as Tories, are but men. To this end, you had better begin at the beginning, and not dream of erecting the superstructure till you have laid the foundation. Away, say I, with all property qualifications whatever, either for the elector or the elected. The suffrage must be coextensive with taxation; or rather, every man who haw attained the age of twenty-one, and who owns ' a local habitation or a name,' by means of which he can be registered and identified, must have a vote ; which vote must be given on the principle of the Ballot. And as the atmosphere of a certain Ihmourable House has a remarkable effect on the political, and indeed on the moral constitution, and because, moreover, 'short reckonings make long friends,' it should be imperative on your representatives to render to their respective constituencies an account of their stewardship at least once in three years ; or, in other words, von must insist on Triennial Parliaments."

After this speech, an agent of Sir John Doyle said that his employer went further than Mr. Dixon. He admitted that he alluded to the sub- ject of Repeal of the Union ; but refused to say distinctly that Sir John was a Repealer. Great uproar took place ; the non-electors were voted out of the room ; and after much discussion, the meeting separated without coming to any determination.

TIPPERARY. Mr. Sheil declines being at the expense of a contested election to hold his seat for Tipperary.--Limerick Chronicle.

WATERFORD COUNTY. The Waterford Chronicle says that Mr.. Brewster has declined to come forward at the invitation of some Tories.

ROXBURGHSHIRE. The Edinburgh Evening Post has " good reason to believe " that the Honourable John Elliot will not again contest the county. A public meeting, at St. Boswell's Green, on Saturday, agreed to invite the Honourable Francis Scott, a Tory.

STIRLINGSHIRE. In consequence of Colonel Abercrombie retiring,. the Reformers, it is understood, will support Sir Michael Bruce, and the Tories Mr. Forbes of Callendar.—Globe.
