There are three candidates for Cockermouth,—Mr. Horseman, Mr Charles Browne,

and Mr. Richard Moorsom. The Whitehaven He- rald contains an account of a public meeting, at which Mr. Moorsom was introduced to the constituency. From his speech, and a catechism which he underwent, we gather that Mr. Moorsom is opposed to Household Suffrage and the Ballot, but in other respects is Radically inclined. Mr. Browne professes to be a supporter of Ministers. Mr. Horseman is decidedly a Liberal. We take it for granted, that should a Tory make his appearance at the eleventh hour, two of the ihree Reformers will at once retire.

The Bristol Tories are very angry that the division of their city into wards by the Revising Barristers has not been sanctioned at head- quarters. We are not surprised, however, at the demur of the Privy Council ; for some of the decisions of Messrs. Praed and Green- wood, in revising the burgess-lists, seem very extraordinary; and we suspect that, in dividing the city into wards, they may have not been very careful to avoid the charge of partiality. The Globe states that the Marquis of Aylesbury has been sending round his steward to his Marlborough tenantry, threatening them with his noble displeasure if they refuse to elect as Councillors the nine old Corporators, and three others of his tenants (one a notorious drunkard), to make up the number allotted by the Municipal Act. These Lords are resolved to make the people hate them.

At -Scarborough, of the eighteen new Councillors, only four will be old Corporators, and of these two will be Liberals ; so that the Liberals will have, according to appearances, a considerable majority in the new Town Council.—Hull Observer.

The Marquis of Hertford has resigned the Recordersbip of Coven- try ; the oaths of which office, however, his Lordship never took, nor once officiated in his judicial capacity.
