By a slip of the pen we last week named

Mr. Perry Watlington, Member for West Essex, instead of Mr. Wingfield Baker, candi- date for South Essex. The latter's seat we believed to be unsafe, and he is dismissed, but was still higher on the poll than Mr. A. Johnston, perhaps the most popular Liberal among the squires and farmers who ever sat for the county. The result is probably due to the metropolitan electors who swarm in this division.
