The Sherborne Journal contradicts a report that Mr. Tynte intends to retire from the representation of West Somersetshire at the next election : and the same paper says, that the great majority of new claims in that division of the county have been made by Reformers.
The Radicals of Sheffield talk of Mr. John Bell, formerly one of the editors of the True Sun, as a candidate for the representation of that borough ; and the Tories wish Mr. John Stuart Wortley to come forward ; but Mr. Parker has strong local influence, and will almost certainly be returned. It matters little what the electors of Sheffield may do on this occasion. No importance can be attributed to the opinions of a constituency who could prefer either Mr. Parker or Mr. Buckingham, to such a person as their distinguished townsman, Mr. Samuel Bailey.
Mr. Charles James Canning is the Tory candidate for Warwick ; and it was hoped by his party that he would have been allowed to walk the course. He will, however, be opposed by Mr. Henry William Hobhouse ; who will be a very troublesome if not a successful com- petitor even at this election. The Warwick Tories may thank the recent efforts of Lord Lyndhurst for the newly-awakened Liberal spirit in Warwick.
Mr. Praed has announced his intention not to offer himself to the Great Yarmouth constituency at the next election : he has found the connexion a costly one, we have no doubt. Mr. Rumbold, the old Whig Representative of the borough, who lost his last election by Tory bribery, is again in the field. Mr. Cavendish and Mr. Gisborne are to dine with the North Der- ysbire Reformers, at Chesterfield, early in October.
