ELECTION TALK.

ARUNDEL.—The Holmes interest will be nearly annihilated by the passing of the Bill. BARNSTAPLE.—Mr. Chichester; the present member, will be requested to continue.

BATIL—General Palmer is sure; and it is thought either Colonel Napier, Author of the " History of the Peninsular Campaigns," or Colonel Bailey, late commanding officer of the 30th Regiment, will be his associate.

BLACKBURN.—The candidates are Dr. Bowring, Mr. Fielden, and Mr. Hindle. Mr. Turner pledges himself to retrenchment and economy in the expenditure of public money, the abolition of all useless offices, pen- sions, and sinecures, the removal of all monopolies and restrictions on trade, a revision of the present system of Corn-laws, a reduction of :taxes, the -abolition of Negro slavery, " and the enactment of all measures that can be devised to give protection and support to the .labour of the artisan, and impart happiness and prosperity to the people." Dr. Bowring, in his speech a few days ego, announced himself as a zealous advocate for the abolition of slavery, for a revision of the Corn-laws, and as a decided opponent to the East India Monopoly, and every other exclusive privilege. This confession of faith, however, was not deemed sufficiently explicit for the Blackburn people; one of whom immediately propounded the following questions to the Doctor- " Will you pledge yourself to vote, first, for the abolition of the Corn- laws ; second, for the repeal of the taxes on malt, hops, soap, sugar, • coffee, and tea; third, for dismissing every officer on the half-pay list who has never seen foreign service ; fourth, for resisting the payment of any money for pensions, or other charges on the taxes, not merited by- real public service ; fifth, for depriving of the income of their benefices at once, and without compensation, all clergymen who have been habitual non-residents?" According to a Blanchester paper, the Doctor said " No!" to all these queries.

BODMIN.—Captain Vivian, son of General Vivian, is as yet the only candidate.

BRIDGENOR'TIL—Mr. W. W. Whitmore is not a candidate. Three candidates are in the field,—Mr. Charlton. Whitmore, son of Mr. Whitmore, of Apley Park ; Mr. A. Pigott, son of Sir George Pigott ; and Mr. Tracey Leigh, son of Mr. Hanbury Tracey ; the latter is a Whig. A canvass has been commenced by all three.

BRIGHTON.—A strong wish has been expressed here by many of the most influential persons in the town, that Colonel Fox, the King's son-in-law, should come forward as a candidate for the new borough of Brighton.—Brighton Gazette. Mr. Thomas Attree and Mr. J. M. Wigney have announced their intention of standing, but there is little chance of their success. They are Moderates.

BURT.—Lord Jermyn has come forward. He opposed the Reform Bill. Mr. Rolfe and Mr. Eagle come forward; Lord Euston retires. The Duke of Grafton puts forward, it is said, another of his sons, Lord Charles Fitzroy. Another candidate was talked of—Mr. Bun- bury, son of Sir H. Bunbury.

BURY (LANCASIIIITE).—Two candidates have started for this bo- rough. Mr. Edmund Grundy, of Park Hills, near Bury, a Radical Reformer; and Mr. Richard Walker, of Bury, a professed Liberal. Both parties are confident of success; the Radicals are working hard. Success go with them! Any thing rather than mere professors..

Car-sm.—Mr. Macaulay was unanimously and cordially reelected for Caine on Wednesday; on which occasion the inhabitants gave him and Lord Kerry a dinner. His Lordship took the opportunity to declare his intention of requesting the suffrages of the new electors. He said he had been waiting with anxiety to announce that on the first oppor- tunity he should offer himself to the independent electors to represent them in Parliament ; and he thought it right to state the grounds on which he intended to offer himself. He should come forward inde- pendently ; he should make use of no influence; and if returned to Par- liament, he would endeavour to serve his constituents honestly and faithfully.. It was not likely that he could pretend to such ability and talent as had graced Dunning, Barry, Townsend, Jekyll, Abercromby, Macdonald, and, though last not least, Macaulay ; but he would endea- vour to follow their example as nearly as he was able. He certainly would support, by his vote, those improvements to which the Reform Bill had opened the door. The principles he professed were the same as those his grandfather and his father had been known to support for the last seventy years.

CAMBRIDGESHIRE.—The inhabitants of the Isle of Ely are looking out for a successor to Mr. Adeane, whom they are determined to send to the right-about on the first opportunity. Mr. Townley has done his duty, and his return is certain. Mr. Childers, the gentleman who pro- posed him, it is said, will be the new Reform candidate.—StanfordeNews. CAMBRIDGE (TowN).—Requisitious have been sent to Mr. Christo- pher Pemberton, Mr. George Pryme, and Mr. G. G. Osborne. Mr. Tryme promises to labour to carry into effect the blessings expected from Reform. He says also, he has ever been anxious for measures to improve the condition of the slave, with a view to the early and com- plete abolition of slavery. Mr. Osborne declines on the score of ex- pense, and proposes Mr. Hawkins instead. Among those spoken of as likely to come forward, is Professor Smyth.

CANTERBURY.—Lord Fordwich, it is said, and Mr. Watson will Le reelected vabout opposition.

CHATHAM.—.Mr. Erskine. Perry has declared himself for this bo- rough ; and has been exceedingly As-ell received. He is of the Move- ment party—a back--and-bone Reformer.

CHICHESTER.—This city will return its present members, Lord Arthur Lennox and Mr. J. A. Smith.

DARTMOUTH.—Mr. Holdsworth will offer himself again, and \yin be opposed by Colonel Seale, an old Reformer, with every chance of success.

DEAL—At present there are two candidates in the field, Mr. Joseph Marryatt and Sir Thomas B. Troubridge (the present representatives). Committees are already formed, and by their 'strong exertions each party seems satisfied that the reelection of their respective candidate is secure. Mr. Grove Price, of Tory notoriety, is presumptuous enough, if report be correct, to try again, and has a greater chance of being defeated thanx at the last election. Some of his party have been foolish enough to believe their deeds require the protection of a stronger body of police than usual, and consequently the Magistrates have sn;orn in about fifty persons as special constables.

DERBY.—Sir Charles Colville will conic forward for this borough. Committee have, however, expressed themselves dissatisfied with some parts of his conduct with respect to his reservation (on signing a late petition to the Commons.) respecting the prayer for stopping the SupplieS.. DnvizEs.—Mr. Pearce and Mr. T. II. Ss 13. Esteourt declare that it is nor-their intention to solicit the suffrages of the electors. Mr. Locke has publicly pledged himself to come forward ; mid it-is ru- moured that Mr. Montague Gore will shortly be in the field..—Derizes Gazette.

DEVONSHIRE.—Manv new candidates have been named,—Mr. Cour"- tenay, Mr. Newton Fellow-es, -mid Mr. Yarde'Buller, the last of whom would be supported by Lord Rolle and the Ultra-Tories. Some say that Sir T. Acland will offer himaelf. - DEVONPORT AND P1Y:■10UTII. — Admiral Sir Edward Codrington, 0. C.73., intends to offer himself as a representative for the new bo- rough of Devonport. A Committee, friendly to the interests of the Honourable Captain Elliot, is now actively at work to insure the elec- tion of that officer for Plymouth. Lord Valletort and Mr. Milted are also mentioned .for Devonport ; and Mr. Bewes, Lord Borringdon, and Sir R. Lopez, for Plymouth.—Hampshire Telegraph.

The North Devon Political Union already musters three hundred members. A code of laws has been prepared, a council elected, &c.

Dovan.—The Tories have called on Mr. Holcomb again, but he appears to have had enough of it, and declines ; and, disappointed here, they talk of a requisition to Sir John Rats Reid, the defeated candidate at the last 'election. At a Common Hail, held on Friday, it was de- termined unanimously to call on the present members to come forward, promising them their support.

DUDLEY.—Sir Horace St. Paul has offered himself, and it is stated that he will be opposed by Mr. Joseph Parkes of Birmingham. Mr. Campbell is also a candidate.

DURHAM; SOUTHERN Divrsiox.—Mr. Duneombe Shafte in his ad- dress has the following passage, which will serve as an index to his political principles—" With regard to the Reform Bill, I am of opinion that any measure less comprehensive than the present lcould not have given to the People that power in the legislature which in our mixed Government they are justly entitled to."

DURHAM (City).—The Conservatives mean to try their chance with Mr. Arthur Trevor at the next contest. Mr. Charles Harland, a Re- former, will contest the honour with him, and we doubt not, success- fully. Mr. Carter Chaytor is pretty certain of his reelection.

ESSEX.—For the Northern, or Braintree division, Mr. Western comes forward. For the Southern, or Chelmsford division, Mr.

Wellesley starts. Colonel Tyrell and Mr. Bramston are also spoken of by the Tories. Mr. Harvey will contest any division where the Tdries may make an attempt.

I'm:mum—It is intended forthwith to put the Attorney-General in nomination for this borough, in which he resides. A requisition for that purpose is now in the course of signature.

FROME—Rear-Admiral Boyle, brother of the Earl of Cork, and T. Sheppard, Esq., of London, a brother of Messrs. Shep- pard, have been actively canvassing during the Past week for the honour of representing this town in Parliament, in the event of the Reform. Bill passing into a law. Mr. Sheppard is at present decidedly in ad- vance of his honourable competitor, having already more than half the number of voters pledged in his favour.—Bath Chronicle.

GATEsnEAD.—Mr. Cuthbert Rippon has commenced his canvass with every prospect of success.

HALIFAX.—A meeting took place at this new borough on Mon- day last week, to consider of the propriety of originating a requisi-

tion to the Honourable Wentworth Fitzwilliam, the eldest son of Lord Milton, to come forward as one of the candidates for the representation of the town. Mr. Briggs, the constable, was in the

chair; and in opening the business of the day, he entered into a la- boured eulogy on the claims of the .Wentworth family: be stated also, that Mr. Wentworth would not be of age until January next, and al-

luded to the exception that might be taken to his inexperience and aris-

tocratic birth. Mr. G. B. Browne moved that a requisition be sent to Mr. Wentworth; which was seconded by Mr. S. Hodgson. It was opposed by Mr. M. Stocks junior; who argued forcibly against the

youth of the proposed candidate, and his connexion with the Peerage ; either of which, he thought; disqualified him for representing a manu- facturing town like Halifax. Mr. Beaumont spoke of gr. Went-

worth's excellent conduct in the late contest for Northamptonshire. Considerable difficulty was experienced in taking the sense of the meet..

ing, as there were many persons present who were not voters. The first show of hands was decidedly against the requisition. The non- voters were then requested to retire, and a second trial was made ; the issue of which was the same. The aristocrats, however, were deter- mined not to be beaten ; and, though they called the meeting to decide upon the requisition, retired, when the meeting decided against it, to get up a private requisition among themselves. We trust Lord Milton has sufficient spirit to despise a document emanating from such a source. The popular party, of which Mr. Stocks is the head, have in- vited Mr. Godfrey Higgins to stand.

HAMPSIIIRE.—Mr. Paulet Mildmay, who had been urged to propose himself for the county of Hants, has declined doing so. On Wednes-

day, it was suggested from London to various parts of the county, that

a requisition from the friends of liberal principles should be sent to Sir Thomas Baring. By return of post, this hint was answered by the

promises of support of nearly 800 freeholders being laid before that constitutional friend to his country, and in consequence he has offered himself. The election will take place on the 22d instant, at Win- chester. Sir Thomas Baring will be returned, as there is not likely to be any opposition.

HARWICH.—Mr. C. T. Tower, a thorough Reformer, is a candidate. Mr. Tower, it may be recollected, stood at last election ; but was thrown out by the manoeuvring of a couple of discharged clerks, named Dawson and Herries ; who having had a charge of the books of that department, thouglit fit, on the going out of the old partners, to set up for themselves, and contrived, by a parcel of puffing bills, to carry off with them a few of the customers of the firm. As, however, the goods supplied by these gentlemen have proved notoriously bad in quality as well as dear in price, it is confidently expected that the old customers will come back to the old warehouse ; the new customers are certain to do so.

HASTINGS.—Mr. Frederick North and Mr. J. A. Wane will be op- posed by Mr. Howard Elphinstone.

Mon WYcomtE.—Mr. D'Israeli junior talks of coming forward here.

HONITON.—Mr. Guest resigns : he intends to introduce Mr. Todd to the electors of Honiton. Sir George Warrender is also expected to resign, after introducing a friend.

HORSHAM.—The Duke of Norfolk's nominee will be opposed by Major Beauclerk.

KENDAL.—On Monday evening last, a numerous meeting of the householders was held at the King's Arms, to determine upon a proper person to represent this borough. Mr. James Brougham was pro- posed, and a resolution that a requisition should be forwarded to him immediately, was carried unanimously.—Kendal Chronicle.

KENT.—At a meeting of Sir Edward Knatchbull's friends, on Mon- day, at the Fountain, Canterbury, forty attended ! At Ashford, Sir Edward met with a very rough reception in his canvass, and retired from the town much disconcerted. On Saturday, three of the can- didates for East Kent addressed the freeholders at the Canterbury Corn Market. Mr. Plumptre declared himself a decided Whig; and, in answer to question's from Sir J. Tylden, pledged himself to reduc- tion in the public expenditure, that he would vote for an alteration in the Tithe-laws, and for reduction of sinecures, places, and pensions. Sir E. Knatchbull declared himself "a Moderate Reformer ; " and asserted, that he had always been an advocate for Reform of Parlia- ment, but thought the Bill went too far. Sir W. Cosway declared himself a thorough Reformer, and said it was only as such he could represent them. Three cheers were given for Mr. Plumptre, and three tremendous rounds of applause for Sir W. Cosway; when the meeting separated. The peace of the pretty town of Ramsgate was seriously disturbed on Friday last week, by a hand-bill circulated by Sir Edward Knatch- hull's Committee, soliciting their friends to meet the Tory Conserva- tive candidate at Hereson, about a quarter of a mile on the Broadstairs road. This being the residence of Mr. Wetherbead, the Chairman of the Reform Committee, the Committees of Sir William Cosway and Mr. Plumptre, and their friends, proceeded thither to protect their worthy Chairman, and convince Sir Edward there was no reaction in his favour. At two, the hour appointed, Sir Edward arrived, and was met by his Committee and friends in two carriages and four, and some dozen horsemen, consisting of a sprinkling of magistrates, parsons, doctors, and attornies, and a posse of agricultural labourers, ordered to attend by the Messrs. Garretts, to escort their masters' idol in safety to his Committeo-room at the Albion Hotel. By this time, the friends of the popular candidates mustered in great numbers. The preliminary arrangements being concluded, the procession advanced, amidst the laughter of their opponents, to the entrance of King Street. There Sir Edward was assailed with groans, hissings, and missiles ; and had it not been for the earnest exhortations on the part of the gentlemen comprising Sir William Camay's Committee, the personal safety of Sir Edward and his friends would have been endangered. Sir Edward attempted to address the assemblage from the window; but not one word could be heard, except the universal cry of " No bullock's liver," and " Barley bread." Sir Edward afterwards addressed his friends in the Committee-room, but did not follow up his visit with a canvass.— Kentish Chronicle.

KIDDERMINSTER.—The Tory party are endeavouring to introduce a Moderate Reformer from Manchester, a gentleman named Phillips. The Times recommends Mr. Babbage. Mr. Phillips has made a good canvass, but a requisition has been sent to Colonel Fox.

LAUNCESTON.—Mr. David Howell, an independent country gentle- man, residing near the town, is in the field with every chance of suc- cess; and Mr. J. King Lethbridge, of Tregear, has also come forward.

.LEICESTER.—Mr. Wynne Ellis comes forward again, with everypro- muse of success.

LINCOLN.—The Electoral Committee have completed a successful canvass for the two Reform candidates.

Lisitsnao.—Mr. C. Buller is sure of his election.

Lospoic—Mr. George Grote has offered himself as a candidate for the City, in the room of Alderman Thomson, who retires. Mr.

Grote says--

" Bred up from may youth in business, and occupying an established com- mercial station in your city, I have endeavoured to combine, with a due know- ledge of trade and its details, those studies which are calculated to assist me in judging of the large and general interests of my country. I shall, if honoured by your choice, bring to the consideration of those interests a mind unfettered by any narrow or partial ties, accustomed to intellectual application, and above all, eager to realize the full consequences of that great measure under which you are soon about to give your votes. To the cause of Parliamentary Reform I have long been warmly attached, even at a time when its accomplishment seemed hopeless ; and it will be my pride and pleasure to be permitted to aid in accelerating that reduction of burdens, and that train of legislative improve- ments, without which Reform would be barren and worthless."

The Lord Mayor has also addressed the inhabitants and Livery. Sir John says- " It is scarcely necessary that j should repeat the motives which, upon a late occasion, induced me then to abstain from soliciting at your hands so distin- guished an honour. At that time, it was highly desirable, that, by unanimity, we should show our determination to abandon all minor considerations, for the furtherance of that great cause which has thereby been so eminently successful. The triumph of Reform is achieved. The people of England and the citizens of London will not be so indifferent to the just exercise of their franchise in the selection of representatives who will use their best exertions to realize the great benefits contemplated. I have always advocated, by every means in my power, the principles of Reform- in Parliament, as the means of benefiting the people: and in a Reformed Parliament I should be highly gratified by the confidence of my fellow-citizens."

LIME REGIS.—Mr. Melville comes forward here for the seat on Re- form principles. Mr. W. Pinney has also been canvassing—also a Re- former. Mr. Pinney is a Somerset gentleman ; Mr. Melville, a friend of Mr. Hume.

MACCLESFIELD.—Mr. John Ryle and Mr. John Brocklehurst junior are talked of as having the best chance of success. They are both op- ponents of Mr. Huskisson's commercial principles and policy.

MALMESBURY.—Lord Andover, son of the Earl of Suffolk, comes forward. His Lordship is a stanch Reformer, and very popular.

MARYLEBONE.—Coloncl Jones will be one of the candidates, and Major Revel another.

A requisition is, we hear, in course of signature to Mr. Berkeley Portman, inviting him to become a candidate for the representation of Illarylebone in the new Parliament. A more respectable man could not be found, nor a more steady or consistent Reformer. We hear that he is not likely to stand again for Dorsetshire ; and his conneTion with Marylebone would point him out as a most suitable representative of that great, wealthy, and enlightened district of the metropolis. Mr. W. Ponsonby and Sir W. Oglander will probably be the new members for Dorsetshire.—Globe.

MERTHYR-TYDYIL.—Political Union Societies have been formed at the Bee-hive and Bush, commercial inns, and it is anticipated that others will be established. The numbers of members rapidly in.. crease.—Monmouth Merlin.

MIDHURST.—Out of gratitude to Mr. Smith for his disinterested support of the Reform Bill, some member of his family is talked of as the representative, although Mr. Smith's former influence is entirely destroyed by the Bill.

NEWPORT (Isle of 1Vight).—Sir Willoughby Gordon and Mr. J. N. Fazakerly have been invited by the inhabitants to come forward. A meeting was held last week, at which the following resolution was adopted, and immediately received the signatures of 1.50 electors—. "That having attained the great measure of Reform, and the franchise of the borough of Newport being extended to a large body of the inha- bitants, it becomes the bounden duty of the independent electors to en- deavour to secure representatives who will pledge themselves to sup- port the principles of the Reform Bill, so as to establish finally the rights and privileges of the British People." The Tories talk of Mr. Ward, the beaten Conservative of London, and Sir W. Heathcote, ditto for Hampshire.

NORFOLIC.—Major Keppell, son of the Earl of Albemarle, has offered himself as a candidate for the Eastern division of this county. He is, of course, a Reformer; and as his noble father is decidedly the most popular person in the county next to Mr. Coke, his return is con- sidered certain. Another gentleman talked of for this division is Mr. Ridley ;Colborne ; who will probably be returned with Major Kep- poll, as Mr. Coke retires after witnessing the consummation of all the great principles of his party. Sir Jacob Astley and Sir William Folkes will be returned for the Western division.

NORTHUMBERLAND, SOUTHERN DIVISION.—MT. Beaumont and MT. Ord, Reformers, in the field; and Sir C. Monk and Mr. Bell on the other side.

NORTHERN.—Lord Howick and Mr. Bigge, of Linden, Reformers ; talked of in opposition to them, Lord Ossulston and the Honourable T. Liddell.

POOLE.—Mr. Tulk, whose exertions here were unsuccessful at the late election, on the resignation of Mr. Ponsonby, is now engaged in canvassing the town, soliciting thesuffrages of the old and new electors. Mr. Lester and Sir John Byng will again offer themselves.

PRESTON.—According to the Preston Pilot, a serious intention exists in that town to bring Mr. Cobbett forward as a candidate at the general election ; but whether as the colleague or the rival of his quondam friend, Hunt, is not yet known.—Morning Herald.

RYE.—Colonel Be Lacy Evans will again stand ; opposed by Cap- tain Curteis, the brother of the county member, who stands on Dr. Lambe's interest.

SOMERSETSHIRE.—Mr. B. Escott has addressed the electors of the Western Division, declaring his intention to come forward at the gene- ral election approaching. From this gentleman's address it would seem that he is a "Conservative."

Mr. Labouehere, who had vacated his seat for Taunton by accepting office as one of the Lords of the Admiralty, was reelected on Tuesday, without opposition, to his former seat. Dr. Blake put him m nomina- tion, and was seconded by Mr. Bunter. It was stated as a proof of the respect entertained for Mr. Labouchere by the electors, that seven hundred persons, in a canvass of a few days, had promised to vote for him, and only thirty-three of those solicited had declined their support.

SournArtrrox. — The Hampshire Chronicle contradicts the rumour of its being the intention of Mr. Atherley to retire from the represen- tation of Southampton.

STAMFORD.—It is said that the Marquis of Exeter has sought the assistance of his brother Boroughmonger the Duke of Newcastle, and that one of his candidates and intended nominees is to be the learned Recorder of Newark, Mr. Clinton. Mr. Tennyson has expressed his readiness to be again at the service of his constituents, but without pledges. Mr. Daniel Wakefield has also declared his intentidn of go- ing to the poll as a fourth candidate. There are rumours that the Honourable Mr. Dundas will also come forward on the Liberal side.— Stamford News. STROLTD.—Mr. Polllett Scrope's canvass has been very successful : he will, it is said, be one of the members for this new borough.

SuFFOLIC, EASTERN DiviSION.—Mr. Shaw and Mr. Henniker, both gentlemen of property and liberal principles, are talked of as likely to try the electors.

WESTERN.—Sir H. Parker comes forward, as does also Mr. Tyrrell.

SUNDERLAND.—The Conservatives attempted a hole and corner meeting, called by "Philip _Laing," last week, in Order to take time by the forelock. The object was to try the way for Mr. Blanchard, an India broker, of London, a nominee of the Marquis of Londonderry. The inhabitants, however, went to the meeting; and Mr. Laing ex- plained for Mr. Blanchard that he would not come forward unless in- vited by the inhabitants. No invitation was drawn up. A requisition, most numerously signed, has been drawn up and sent to Sir William Chaytor, calling on him to come forward.

SUSSEX.—Lord George Lennox and the Earl of Surrywill, it is said, be returned, without opposition, for the Western division. Mr. Cur- teis will likewise stand for the Eastern, and probably some member of the Cavendish family. Mr. J. V. Shelley is talked of for the Eastern Division ; he would oppose Mr. Curteis.

TIVERTON.—Sir Walter Carew and Mr. Coles. The first is a Waverer.

ToTNES.—Mr. Ayshford Wise has addressed the electors. Lord Seymour, Lord Darlington, Mr. Courtenay, Mr. Parrott, and Mr. Cornish, are all mentioned as candidates—the two last have already canvassed. The favourites are said to be Mr. Parrott and Mr. Wise, both Reformers.

ToWER HAMLETS.—Mr. James Barnett, of the firm of Hoares, Barnetts, and Co., bankers, is talked of; and Mr. Fowell Buxton.

TRUR0.—An active canvass has commenced here, and three candi- dates are in the field,—Mr. W. Tooke, on popular grounds ; Lord Boscawen, on his father's Tory interest ; and General Sir Hussey Vivian, as a Government or Ministerial man. The Reformers, it is said, intend to put Mr. Humphry Willyams, of Carnanton, in nomina- tion with Mr. Tooke.

TyNEmouTIL—Mr. George F. Young, of London, is in the field; he is, we believe, a Moderate.

WAREHAM.—Mr. Erie Drax, of Charborough Park, has addressed the new electors. He declares himself" an avowed Reformer ;" and says-

" I freely declare my determination to support the general measures andpo- liey of Earl Grey and his patriotic colleagues. To reduce the enormous weight of taxation, and the number of useless places, pensions, and sinecures shall be any constant endeavour. I shall be happy to support any wise and prudent enactments for the emancipation of the slave. I will give my assistance to every measure which shall provide the means of universal education, or which has a tendency to promote improvement in the moral, social, and domestic condition of the poor.'

Captain Granby Calcraft, one of the present members, would have been returned without opposition, had not his brother resolved to op- pose him on Tory principles.

Wanansroirox.—An active canvass has commenced for Colonel Blackburne, in opposition to Mr. Hornby-.

WARwicKSIIIRE.—Sir G. Chetwynd is spoken of as likely to start for the Northern division of this county. He is a stanch Reformer' the friend of rigid economy and retrenchment, and has proved himself, on various occasions, the steadfast friend of the present Administra- tion.

WOLFERITAmvrON.—Mr. Richard Fryer comes forward, by an invi- tation signed by 900 individuals, for Wolverhampton; promising to

vote for a repeal of the Corn-laws, and after that for triennial Parlia- ments, and then the extinction of all monopolies, reduction of taxes, and abolition of slavery. Mr. Woolrich Whitmore will, it is believed, be a candidate.
