Mr. Coningham is to resign his seat for Brighton immediately

on the opening of Parliament, and there are two Liberal candidates already in the field—Mr. Dumas, a Whig, who has sent down an agent to lecture on his behalf, and has not, we believe, a chance ; and a Mr. Otway, who, if he be elected, will not be a member of Parliament for the first time. He has been adopted by the Radicals at a great meeting of that party, and will probably carry the day. The railway workmen have it almost all their own way at Brighton; and if they are unanimous for Mr. Otway, Mr. Otway will probably get in.
