It is generally believed that Sir Antes Graham will be
returned for Lisburn by Lord Hertford, at the request of Sir Robert Peel and the Duke of Wellington.—Carlisle Journal.
A petition is to be presented against the Wincanton election. If it succeed, Mr. Tinton, eldest SOH of Sir Thomas Turton, intends coming forward on the Durham school of politics.-6104. [Win- canton, we believe, is a little town in Somersetshire, but we were not aware that it returned a Member to Parliament; and as to the "Dur- ham school of politics," we know as little now of it as of Wincanton.1 An association has been set on foot in Brighton, called the " Consti- tutional and Liberal Association ;" but, according to the Brighton Patriot, it is merely a Whig club, formed to secure the return of Mr. Wigney with Captain Pechell, and exclude the Radical as well as the Tory candidate. We should have supposed that the Brighton Whigs had bad enough of this trickery.
