The Globe states, that Mr. Benjamin Wood will be a candidate for the representation of Southwark, "iii the event of any vacancy, how- ever created ; " and that a great number of Mr. Harvey's supporters are determined to vote for him. This may be ; and we believe it would be difficult to select a better candidate than Mr. Wood ; but if he is unwisely brought forward in opposition to Mr. Ilarvey, we appre- hend there may be a danger of his defeat. As we have befte e remarked, not many weeks ago, Mr. Harvey's opposition to Lord Melbourne's Ministry would have rendered him most unpopular in Southwark ; but DOW the case is altered very considerably. We have within a day or two received assurances to this effect from one of Mr. Wood's most attached supporters, who is well acquainted with the state of political feeling in the Borough.
Seine of the Southwark Tories are about to raise a subscription for the purpose of erecting a bronze statue of the Duke of Wellington at the end of Wellington Street, London Bridge.
