The Marquis of Douro is canvassing the electors of Norwich.

Viscount Deerhurst has declined the Tory invitation to become a candidate for South Worcestershire.

Mr. F. Sheridan, Lord Alulgrave's Private Secretary, and Mr. Matthew Bridges, of Bristol, are to oppose the Tory candidates, Messrs. Davenport and Copeland, for Stoke-upon-Trent.

Lord Powerscourt, a nephew of Lord Roden, and a Mr. Ludlow Bruges, talk of contesting Bath with Mr. Roebuck and General Palmer. A Whig candidate, we hear, is also in the field ; but unless Ministers are resolved upon suicide, they will withdraw him.

The Honourable Henry Manners Sutton has come back to town. But one opinion is entertained in Cambridge as to this gentleman's return to Parliament. It is considered an absolute certainty.—Post. [ At the last election, Mr. Pryme had a very small majority. We shall be sorry if Mr. Sutton's success be purchased by the loss of Mr. Pryme.]

Great disgust was expressed by the inhabitants of Boston and the frequenters of the market there, on Wednesday last, at the exhibition of music and flags parading the streets in honour of a new Orange Tory candidate for the representation of that borough in Parliament, at the same time that the funeral knell of the revered Sovereign was pealing its solemn notes. Such an outrage on decency very properly called fur the interference of the Mayor and Magistrates, which caused a cessation of the nuisance ; but only till evening, when it was again brought out. —Lincoln ilfercury.

No alteration will take place in the representation of the Western Division of Worcestershire ; but the Eastern, it is believed, will be contested by Mr. Holland and Mr. 1-lodgetts Foley, against Mr. Horace St. Paul. For the city, the struggle will be similar to the last election. For Kidderminster, it is hinted that Mr. Godson will walk over ; but for the borough of Bewdley, the same indulgence will not be granted to Air. Witinington. For Druitwich, Mr. Barneby retires; and Mr. Pakington will, it is confidently stated, be the future repre- sentative. It is rumoured Mr. Barneby will be brought forward for the the county of Hereford.— Worcester Herald.

Both the Members for West Somersetshire will again be candidates.

It is said that Sir Gerard Noel will retire from the representation of the county of Rutland, on account of his great age. It is added, that his sou-in law, Stafford O'Brien, Esq., of Blatherwycke Park, will be the candidate in the Noel interest ; and that he will be opposed by Lord Thomas Cecil, in the interest of his brother, the Marquis of Exeter. The contest between these parties and Sir Gilbert Heath- cote's for Rutland, it is thought will be severe : and it is morally cer- tain that it will lead to an opposition to Lord Exeter in Stamford, by a gentleman of influence in the neighbourhood..—Stamford Mercury.

Tewkesbury exhibits the full bustle of a contested election. Mr.

Hanbury Tracy has publicly announced that he shall retire from the representation of the borough whenever a dissolution of Parliament takes place. Mr. John Martin has declared himself a candidate to succeed Mr. Tracy ; and he and his friends are now busily canvassing the electors. The handbills announcing those events were received direct from London, " ready cut and dried," on Tuesday night ; and Mr. Martin made his appearance at the same moment. The friends of Mr. William Dowdeswell are engaged in active canvass.— Worcester Herald.

Captain Alsager has addressed the electors of East Surrey, declaring his intention to come forward again on Tory principles. Sir C. M. Burrell and Mr. Goring have both addressed the electors Shoreham.

It is probable that two candidates of Liberal principles will start for Dover; in the event of which, a change in the representation of the town is quite certain. Much anxiety is felt here on the subject of the Eastern Division of the county ; as, should Mr. Plumptre presume to offer himself, at the least that gentleman should be sent to the right about, as a warning to other candidates. It will be remembered Mr. Plumptre was warmly supported by the Dover Reformers.—Kent Herald.

We do not Anticipate any contest for either the Northern or Southern Divisions of Wiltshire ; nor is it expected that any opposition will be offered to the sitting Members for the borough of Devizes.—Devizes Gazette.

We confidently anticipate the return of two Liberal Candidates for Canterbury. The Tories seem proportionally dismayed. Letters were this morning received in this city from F. Villiers, Esq., who, having left Paris, was at Brussels, on his way to England. lie will, no doubt, be in Canterbury in the course of next week.—Kent Herald. Mr. Hodges retires from Rochester ; Sir J. R. Comae, Chairman of the East India Company, is spoken of as his successor.

Mr. Horace Twiss is a candidate for Nottingham. Horace calls himself a Reformer ! Why has he left Bridport ?

In the mean while, the Reformers of Bridport have an opportu»ity of electing a worthy colleague of Mr. Warburton. Mr. Swytifen Jervis, from whose excellent letter to his agent on the subject of his

tenants' freedom of voting an extract is given in another column, is a candidate, with good prospects of success. The address of Mr. Jervis to the electors will ue found in our advertising columns. Mr. War- burton is canvassing his old constituents, in conjunction, as we under- stand, with Mr. Jervis. Of Mr. Warburton's return there is no doubt.
