The Reformers of Greenwich gave their Members, Messrs. Bar- nard and Angerstein, a public dinner on Monday. The company, among whom were Mr. 'I'. Duneombe, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Hume, Lord Nugent, Mr. Law Hodges, Mr. Buckingham, and Mr. Feargus O'Connor, assembled under a splendid marquee, erected for the pur- pose in the grounds of Mr. Frederick Hammond, who presided. The speeches and toasts seem to bare been rather Whiggish, considering the Radical politics of the leading guests. Among the best toasts re- ceived, were " Lord Melbourne and the rest of his Majesty's Minis- ters," and " Earl Grey, the father of Reform." Mr. Farrand, of Hale Hall, has announced himself a candidate for Stafford at the next election.
The number of electors on the register for Manchester is 8,083; lie- jug imuu it.crease of 883 over the constituency of 1835. A correspondent of the Chronicle states, that in East Sorry the s of the Reformers are in the proportion of five to one over those of the Tory party ; the latter having exhausted their strength last year. We hope this will be proved to be true on the day of trial. The Brighton Gazdte says, that in Brighton the Overseers' lists have a very favourable appearance for the Tories, while in the county of Sussex there is not much alteration. We suspect that, on a dissolu. Con, Sussex will again return sixteen or seventeen Anti-Tories to the House of Commons.
