THE ELECTIONS.—A new writ has been issued in the case
of Car.; marthen borough : the impression of the Committee was, that no such violence was practised as justified the Sheriff in not making a return. Sir A. J. Dalrymple has been declared duly elected member for Jed- burgh ; Mr. Stewart in consequence is ousted : Mr. Stewart's election was declared vexatious. The Dublin election we have noticed in the Debates.
REPRESENTATION OF STA MI' iS expected that Stamford will at the next election return two Reformers instead of one. Mr. D. Wakefield junior has already commenced a canvass, and has, we under- stand, met with every encouragement to persevere. His avowed object is to achieve " the other half" of the independence of Stamford, by claiming, in conjunction with Mr. Tennyson, the suffrages of the elec- tors, in opposition to the Marquis of Exeter's nominee : if another can- didate with preferable claims shall come forward on the popular interest, he will retire from the field in that candidate's favour. Mr. Wakefield's address is a spirit-stirring production : it places the relations of consti- tuent and representative on the true footing, and, vindicating the prin. ciple of giving and exacting pledges on such occasions, he offers a specific pledge on every topic of present or prospective legislation which no interests the community of Great Britain. REPRESENTATION or Yormsnute.—Mr. Mark Milbank has offered himself as a candidate to represent the North Riding after the passing of the Reform Bill.
