The election for Oxford terminated on Saturday. On Monday, the Mayor declared the numbers to be—for Mr. Hughes Hughes, 802; for Mr. Towneley, 700; for Mr. Maclean, 461. Mr. Hughes was there- fore duly returned. The weakness of the Tory party in Oxford was proved by this result. Every effort was made by the heads of houses and Professors of the University, by the Aldermen and Magistrates, to procure the return of Mr. Maclean, who was educated at Baliol Col- lege, where in 1823 he gained the highest honours.
The nornalation of candidates for the representatien of the vacant seat in the Western division of Cumberland took place at Cockermouth on Monday. Mr. Irton was proposed by Captain Irwin of Calder Abbey, and seconded by Mr. Hoskins of High. Mr. Aglionby was proposed by Sir Wilfred Lawson, and seconded by Mr. Saul of Greenrow. The two candidates then severally addressed the meeting. A show of bands was then taken by the High Sheriff, and declared to be in favour of Mr. Aglionby; whereupon a poll was demanded on the part of Mr. Mon.
Circulars have been issued to the officers commanding the different corps of Yeomanry, requiring a return of their arms and ammunition, as well as their present state; also of the present depots of arms, spe- cifying such of them as are in the possession of the men.
