ELECTION MOVEMENTS.

IN almost every part of the Three Kingdoms candidates and constita. encies are busily engaged in preparing for the general election, which must now take place in the course of a few weeks. In cont. piling our riecount of the movements of the various parties, and inn t•sti- mating their comparative chances of stieeess, we most Cr present rely a good deal on the local newspapers ; but in the progress of the election we shall have much original information from grunters or which reliance may be placed. Desiring tweet:ell and pert eet fairness, ourselves, we feat our correspondents in all quarters to observe this rule as a sine qua non.

WESTMINSTER. The members of the Westminster Reform Society had a tneeting on ItIouday evenina, at Stnfinerd's Honed. Charles Street. Colonel Evans and Mr. Leader were present ; and a resolutior was passed to support both those geetleineis at the general election; the Colonel distiefoly pledging himself not again to desert Ins COD- stituents—wbut a pledge for constituents to ask and a cendidate te- offer I but it marks the fallen state of Westminster. Sir George Murray has issued an address to the electors, offering his services. Burdett retires ; having 1:chin-wed lilt last victory at the expense of a good many thousand pounds, and all the character he had left as a public nuan,...-H dear exchange this for the pleasure of beating his old friends, and making one 'fury speech in the House of Cu tttttt ons with Charles Ross cheering and Peel sneering at his back.

•

We must record Burdett's farewell address—his last worde—to the siectors. It is this— e° THE INDEPENDENT ELEPTORs OF WESTMINSTER.

" A fresh and more violent ;Meek of the p dad iiifteaSe Which has of late so inces- santly afflicted me, having in con-rimer:we of a slight ail:Went recurred. feelingly con slimes ni . alba absolute necessity of resign'ng into your hands the immatatit and honourable trust to which you u t re recent,) pleased to reelect me. I take this step Eess pl.etautIy a being folly aware i ow unequal I ohould henceford prove to the Mi- llman attic duties justly expected from your Representative. " In bidding ou farewell, after a public counexion betneen us of such long stand- km, I cnouot retain from expressing an assurance that I shall ev er look upon your confidence, the most prominent incident of my lite. with pride and pleasure, as well as with a hearty aspiration that my SUCCI.SOf may bring equal zeal and devotion, con- joined ith greater ability, to the public service. "There 6 a subject Gentlemen. to which weir I to refrain from alluding. I sheuld feet myself deficient l.otli in common Isstice and common gratitude. This is a delicate te2it ; still I must be alienist to express the high nova, whielt I eutettain of the very Watalsome and self-droving conduct of Sir Geor..:e Murray on the lute memorable occasion. Uuless th,it lliulllyditiugl%iTl.t loll iv 'dual hail then a itlutrao n lii. jinely Amadeil claiw, to your suffrage... our inyortant constitutional struggle might have met with the opposite result. All that I nimbi %rubor to suggest is tny opinion, that neither you nor I ought to fr.rget the il,eided advautage which this act of public- spirited fbrbeiratiee reinter-0 to I lie ei refloat calise of our riuntry on that occasion. The able and energetic seriiu which through a lung alai glorioos career Sir I,eorge Morro} has rendered to EiOund his warmest friends and initiators may safely leave to kistory to record."

We always said that Burdett was Sir George Murray's warming-pan ; and that, when his own vanity had been gratified, be would hand over the electors to a Tory,—.just as a shopkeeper disposes of the good-will of prciaises of no use to him when he retires from business.

however, the old mail is gone out of Westminster, though not, as he may Lave expected, to the House of Peers; and leaves Sir George Mur- ray as the sole Tory candidate. Sir George is an undisguised Conserve. live ; and will scarcely entrap the votes of that contemptible class, who, acknowledging that Burdett had become a Tory, yet supported him be. :muse be was their man when professing Reform principles. Sir George, too, will lack that concentration of influence which was so vigorously and successfully employed to secure the return of Burdett. The town is every day becoming more free from the Tory aristocracy, who have their own provincial interests now to look after. These circumstances tell it) favour of the Liberals, who will now have to contend with un- adulterated Toryism : we shall see what is the actual Conservative force in Westminster.

Of Mr. Leader we need not repeat our good opinion. He is worthy of the support of the 3030 good men and true, who defird in. timidation, spurned the briber, and acted up to their principles in the last contest. We hope that he will receive the support of the en. tire body of Liberals, and that something like otganizetion and electioneering skill will be brought into play this time to carry his return.

We wish that Colonel Evans were in every respect as unexception. able a candidate as Mr. Leader ; but a pretty close observation of the Colonel's political career has confirmed the opinion which we ex- pressed when he first offered himself, four or five years ago, that he is not the man for Westminster. Gallant, amiable, and well. meaning, he undoubtedly is ; and be has done good service in his time, by the cool determined tttt with which on more than one occasion he has put down the Tory Hotspurs in the House of CommtIns; but statesman- ship and legislation and defined politics are not the forte of Colonel

Evans. In this line the brave soldier has not distinguished hiln.elf. We rejoiced at his victory over Sir John Hobliouse ; for Sir John had played his old constituents false, and Evans was the instrument of his punishment. But we never expected any legislative services from a person who, though he had evinced a very courteous inclination to give way to a Minister, never perhaps had even the opportunity of uequiling that political information which the electors of Westminster really ought :c• require. Not only is Colonel Evans au imperfectly instructed Mem- ber of the House of Commons, but he betrayed an utter indifference to the performance of his duties, or an incapacity to comprehend in what those duties consist, when be left his constituents in the lurch and scampered off to Spain in search of military glory. What would he have thought of an officer who had deserted his station at the head of an arnty to take his place in the House of Commons ? In short, we have apprehensions that the resolution to associate Colonel Evans with 31r. Leader in the coming fight, is giving one chalice more to the enemy.

LoNnoN. The four Reform Members for the City are safe. The Tories pretend that Mr. Lyall is to be brought forward—modestly aspiring to one fourth of the representation of London. They may put Mr. Lyall ye, but they will never put him in. The perfect organiza- tion, the diligence, good sense, and absence of fussy self-importance which distinguish the City Liberals and their leaders, give to an elec- tion there the satisfactory certainty of a business transaction. Melte I.F EONS:. Here electioneering matters are at sixes and sevens. Lord Teignmouth will have the undivided support of the Tories. Sir

Samuel Whalley insists on standing again; and Mr. Murphy, we Idieve, threatens ; Mr. Henry Bulwer has not announced his 'men. slows—though we have heard that be goes to Constantinople, as Mr. t'ssinhart's successor; and Mr. Benjamin Hall, whose withdrawal was /*mewed several days ago, has not formally quitted the field—were the eleetors of our mind, they would not permit him to quit. rissuuttv. Mr. Duncombe and Mr. Wakley ought to be sure of theit reelection ; and indeed we have little doubt of their return. In addition to Mr. Basil Montague, Sir Felix Booth is talked of as a Tory eittelidate.

Towset HAMLETS. Apparently nobody will venture on the hopeless attempt to unseat either Mr. Clay or Dr. Lusbington. LAMBETH. The Tories notlong since were loud in their Professions of ability to oust Mr. D'Eyncourt to make room for Mr. Maurice Fitz- gerald; but they seem to be rather quiet at present, and we hear little of the Knight of Kerry. There is a report that Mr. Charles Baldwin, proprietor of the Standard, will be called upon by the Tories. Sovettw MIK. We bear of no opposition as yet to the sitting Mem- bers, Mr limey and Mr. Humphery.

Munn ssi e. Mr. Bytig and Mr. Hume are again in the field. The only Tory candidate announced is Mr. Wood of Littleton. Mr. Byng,

we suppose, is quite safe; and we dare say Mr. Httme might be, with proper c certion but committees cannot he formed, or voters taken to the pull, sithout a considerable expenditure: Mr. flume grudges this.

Livearoot. It is understood that Mr. Ewart and Mr. Elphinstone will go to the poll in opposition to Lord &Ruben and Mr. Cresswell. The Reformers have not now to contend against the Corporation and Dock influence; but we have so bad an opinion of a large portion of the Liverpool constituency, that, although the Reformers talk eon& dently, we will not hazard an opinion as to the success of either party. The Liberal candidates are both of them good men and true, and deserving of earnest support. Mr. Ewan, especially, has a claim on the Liverpool Liberals, which they would be disgraced by not honour- ing. They must also, showing a proper sympathy for Mr. Ewart's recent domestic bereavement, do the work themselves.

MANCHESTER. It is not expected that the Tories will show fight here ; but it would be unsafe to make sure of this : it seems to he the cue, not to announce their candidate, while they sedulously organize the means of electing him.

SALFORD. Here Mr. Brotherton will be opposed by Mr. Gernett; but the former had a majority of 795 to 572 m 1835, and surely that

. majority has not been broken down.

STOCKPORT. The Tory Major Marsland retires. The Liberia 4-an. didates are Mr. Henry Mareland, a Reformer ; and Mr. Cobden. a Manchester manufacturer, the able author of a well-known pemplilet on Russia, and a man likely to be exceedingly useful in Parliament. LEEDS. There will be a stiff contest here. The l'ories 11)1%0 ant but one candidate, Sir John Beckett, in the field, as yet; and Sir Wil- liam Molesworth and Mr. Baines have a majority of the electors pledged to vote for them ; but it remains to be seen how many Tory gold and influence will keep from the pull, or carry over to the other side. BRADFORD. We rejoice to learn that there is some chance of ousting Mr. Headmoney Hardy. Mr. Lister and Mr. Busfleld are the candidates.

WAKEFIELD. Mr. Daniel Gaskell is again in the field, though the Tories set him down as hors de combat.

ASHTON. No candidate has appeared as yet against Mr. IlindIse. OLDHAM. The Radicals mean to return General Johnson with Mr. Fielden, and turn out the Tory Mr. Lees. STAFFORDSHIRE. For the Northern Division, Sir Oswald Mieley and Mr. Edward Buller will probably be elected with little opposition, Sir John Wtottesley is also pretty sure of his seat for South Sniffled- shire ; but for the fourth seat there will be a hard tight between Co. lonel Anson and Lord Ingestrie,—though, if the Colonel is again sim- pleton enough to employ Tory attornies, his defeat will be certain. STAFFORD. This sweet and pure place will of course be contested. Mr. Fat rand, Captain Chetwynd, Mr. Blount, and a fourth candidate are talked of.

NEWCASTLE-UNDlift. LINE. Mr. Edmund Peel retires from this ex- pensive borough. A Mr. Buckley, of Manchester, is a candidute : lie yet we are ignorant of his politics; but if he has a heavy purse, it matters little what they are. Tam WORTH. Mr. William Yates Peel retires, and Colonel A'Court comes forward on the Tory interest with Sir Robert. Mr, Tovimshend, whose politics we suspect are of a dubious tinge, is at present a cundidete on the anti-Peel, old Townshend, and bastard- Liberal interest of Tamworth.

WORCESTERSHIRE. Mr. Cookes gives up the Eastern Division, to he succeeded by Mr. J. H. Foley. General Lygon and Captain Wilmington are canvassing the voters of West Worcestershire, DROITWICH. Mr. Galton, a Liberal, will contest this place with the Tory, Mr. Pakington. DUDLEY. Mr. Mereweather Turner opposes Mr. Ilawkes, the present Member. STOKE-UPON-TRENT. Mr. Sheridan and Mr. Bridges are tle Liberal candidates, versus Davenport and Copeland. GLOUCESTER. Captain Berkeley again offers himself; and Mr. Hope will oppose him. BURY ST. EDMUND'S. Earl Jermyn and Mr. Calthorpe are th Tory candidates; Lord Charles Fitzroy stands on the Liberal interest We suspect that the influence of the Marquis of Bristol will carry the first, and that of the Duke of Grafton the last of the three.

CAMBRIDGESHIRE. The Marquis of Granby, a backbone Tory, will probably oust Mr. Townley, a Trimmer. CANTERBURY. Mr. S. R. Lusbington retires—why ? Messrs. Brad- shaw and Gipps are the Tory candidates ; Lord A. Conynghem aid Mr. Frederick Villiers stand on the Liberal interest. The result at an election in Canterbury is always very doubtful. CRICKLA DE. Mr. Robert Gordon, being out of health, retiree, The candidate to supply his place is Mr. Henry Howard. son of the Earl of Suffolk. Mr. John Neeld, and Mr. Ambrose Goddard, of Swindon, are the Tory candidates. GLAMORGANSHIRE. Mr. Dilwyn goes out ; and Lord Adore, a Tory, will probably succeed him. HAMPSHIRE. Mr. J. W. Scott has addressed the electors. III says that, " Though be has hitherto supported Reform measures, he should be no longer justified in offering himself as their Itepreseutatise, as he is Drywall to , the Ballot, extension of the elective franchise, any organic change in the con. stitatiou of the Upper House, the introduction of the Voluntary principle, and several other important measures which are approved of by many of his sup. porters."

Sir William Heathcote, whose politics we are ignorant of, hopes to succeed Mr. Scott.

HASTINGS. The contest will be between Mr. Planta and Mr. lid- lond ; and the longest purse, under the cleverest direction, will carry the day.

Howlett. Mr. Thomas Broadwood will try to eject Mr. Hunt, the Liberal Member.

LEWES. Sir Charles Blunt is again in the field. The Tories have sent a requisition to Captain Lyon to stand with Mr. Fitzroy. The Liberals have called on Mr. Brand. ARUNDEL. Lord Fitzalen, son of Lord Surry, stands for Arundel. It is said that the electors are dissatisfied with some of Lord Dudley

Stuart's Conservative votes ; but we suspect the real reason of the

change is that the Duke of Norfolk wants the borough for his grand.on. BRIGHTON. According to present appearances, the Liberal forte, will be divided here. Captain Pechell, Mr. Wigney, Mr. Freeman: and Sir Adolphus Dalrymple, offer themselves. Sir Adolphus eel,

have the undivided support of the Tories; but a portion of the Radi- cal's. Mr. Feithfull's friend, threaten to vote for Mr. Freeman

Mew:mums. In the Northern division, Mr. Newton Fellowes will be defeated by Sir Thomas Acland, for want of the Ballot. Lord Elaington will go the same way es his present Liberal colleaeue ere long, and for the same reason. In South Devonshire, without the ¬, no Whig or Liberal has the slightest chalice. Thus, this great county, which at the first election after the Reform Bill returned four Liberals, is now half, will soon be three fourths, and eventually en- tirely, in the hands of the Toriee. CORNWALL. Sir Hussey Vivian having promised to vote for the Ballot if required by a majority of his aupportere. hese prospect of sue. ee,s in a vely severe struggle with Lord Eliot. Sir William Trelawtiey, the stanch Liberal and Ballot-mate, will be proposed by Sir William Aloha:worth ; and his success i. certain.

DEvoNemer. Sir George Grey's seat is in jeopardy, unless lie pkg.. himself to vote for the Ballot, on the same conditioes as those which Sir Hussey Vivian line been forced to swallow. He is not at present supported by the more influential Liberals of Devonport. Sir Bitwilid Codrington, we suppose, is safe.

13steestutte. Lord Folkestone is spoken of as an opponent to Mr. Welter.

READING. Mr. Fyshe Palmer is again the favourite of the Liberals here; but we should doubt much whether he will be prevailed U1100 to Oielid.

1VARWICK. Mr. Bolton King has issued an address to the Re- formers, and we presume Mr. Collins will also be a candidate : the Tot it's have not yet named their men.

WARWICKSHIRE, SOUTH. Sir John Mordaturt and Mr. Shirley have addressed the electors.

HERTFORDSHIRE. Mr. Alston is again a candidate; and it is pro- bable that he, with Mr. Abel Smith and Lord Grimston, will be re. elreted without a contest.

Essex. For the Southern Division of this county, Mr. Palmer and Mr. Braun:don will stand. It is said that the Whig Mr. Brinifill will again oppose them, on a forlorn hope. Fiaairsitine. Sir Stephen Glynne, finding that he has little chance for rime Flintshire boroughs, opposes Mr. Nlostyn for the county. Ile offered to make a compromise with Mr. Mostyn •' saying, if you will let me get in for the boroughs without a contest, I will allow you to imalk over the county. Mr. Mostyn, in a very spirited letter, de- clared that he had no authority to bargain away the independence of the electors in that fashion ; arid set Sir Stephen and his Tory friends at eie firma.. There will be a hard battle in this qteirter. Nortem.e. Lord Waloole retires from the Faiatern Division, to mor-a roorn for Mr. Burrotiglies ; the other Tory candidate living Mr. Wed, Iernae. Mr. W. Wirielhain will be supported by the Whigs. :tiivr:t Stlitims. Sir William Chrtytor %%ill oppose the Tory Mr. bighorn.

OaeoltusinitE. There is not mneh probability of a change in the reprksent aimi of this county, the University, or the City. Bets roi.. Mr. Miles will probably retire. Mr. Kington will pro- biddy he a candidate to succeed him ; and Mr. Bright is spoken of as a LiMieral candidate, but we suspect that nothing is fixed at Bristol.

CHATHAM. Mr. G. S. Byng will probably oust Admiral Beresford, for rime Admirelty is now against the Beresford.

Slot eleSETSIIIRE. No change is expected in this county. DaeseTsnin E. The three sitting Mee»bers will probably be reelected.

POOLE Mr. Bytifc goes to Chatham, and Mr. 'Ptak retires. The Liberal candidates will be Mr. C. Ponsonby arid Mr. George Phillips, who ithandons Kiddermineter. Sir John Walsh is talked of by the Tories.

Non rHastrroNseunE. The Northampton Mercury says- " Already have the Conservatives of this county set themselves actively to work. We hate rea.on to believe that in the Northern Division a canvass was begun while his lute Majesty was yet lying on his deathbed, and we are pori- tivviy toisured that it commenced before any certain intelligence of the royal deoine could have reached the county. Lord Brudenell, it seems has given place to Lord Maidatone, a son of the Earl of Winehilsea. Tire Liberal candi- Idate 6 not yet announced, but there is no doubt of a comm. If Lord Milton aletrOd eor inc•ent hiniaelf, • fitting substitute will, it is said, be found in the horoairalde Colonel 'Watson, of Rockingham Castle. In the borough, the old and popular Member, Mr. Veinon Smith, will again come forward; and we are happy to know that he will be joined by a second Liberal candidate, in the

person of Me. Raikes Currie."

IWe also are happy to know that there is not a doubt that Mr. Raikes Currie will be successful, unless voters should be bribed by the hundred. RE GENWICH. Mr. Angerstein and Mr. Barnard have addressed the 'bemire; so has Mr. Wolverley Attwood, who, with a Mr. Carter,

will oppose the sitting Members on the Tory interest.

BRIDGNORTII. Mr. Whitmore arid Mr. Pigot, Tories, and Mr. Trarey Leigh, a Whig, are candidates. DURHAM. Two Liberals, Mr. Granger and Mr. Harland, but as yet only one Tory, Mr. Trevor, have come forward. DeettHest COUNTY. Mr. Liddell will probably walk over the North- ern Division of this county, Mr. Townley retiring from the threatened contest. There has been mismanagement among the Liberals here. PETERBOROUGH. Mr. Surtees, a Tory. will try to get in ; but We believe that the Fitzwilliam interest will return Sir Robert Heron and Air. Fezeikerley. SlluSEHAM. Sir Charles Burrell and Mr. Goring, both of the class , Called Trimmers, will probably be reelected. Some:use:Twin et The old Members otter sosel.-t a no.; I, and

We question whether airy alteration will take pleiee in the representation of either division of this comity. N1r. Grenfell, %vim was to have been a Liberal candidate for the Northern Division, retiree; and Mr. Massey Stanley takes his place. YORKSHIRE. There appears little prospect of any change ill 'York. abire : Mr. Dmicumbe retires from the North Riding, but will be re- placed by a Tory. LINCOLN.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE The' result of tills eleCtiOn is very un- certain. Mr. Ord has not yet declared himself, bur Mr. liodaaos I limb- will be a candidete ; probebly also another Tory and another !Abend candidate will appear.

RYE. Major Monypermy is canvassing Rye, in opposition to Meiji, Curteie, the sitting Member.

BERWICK. It is doubtful whether Sir Rufane Donkin will stand his ground against Mr. Hodgson, a Tory. Mr. Bradshaw, the Tory sitting Member, is safe.

BEVERLEY. This borough is open to a Tory, or anybody else with a long purse. Mr. Burton, the Liberal Member, retires, in consequence of the expense of a contest for Beverley. LUDLOW.
