Sir Edward Sugden will, it is rumoured, be a candidate

at the next election for East Starry, in opposition to Major Beauclerk. [It is not improbable that Colonel Fox will be invited to oppose Captain Alsager; so each party will have two candidates.] Colonel Anson has been very successful in his canvass of the Pot- teries : he will probably be returned in the room of Mr. Heathcote, without opposition.

Great care is again taken to spread a report that Sir Hedworth Williamson is about to retire from the representation of the North division of Durham, and reasons are assigned for his intention of doing so. The rumour is altogether unfounded, and the reasons alleged are the inventions of his Conservative opponents.— Tyne Mercury.
