PETERSFIELD.—Within the last few days, the present Member for this immaculate borough, Sir W. G. Jolliffe, Bart., has issued an address to the electors, announcing his intention of soliciting their suffrages again at the forthcoming election. The number of electors at present on the registry amounts to upwards of 300, a considerable part, more than one-third, of which are tenants of the Hon. Baronet's. It is expected that no opposition will be offered, although a strict watch has been kept in the registration courts ever since the last election, by several professional gentlemen in the Liberal interest, who were deputed to attend to defend the Liberal voters objected to. It is now quite evident that the influential parties have joined the Whitelock ranks, and left the Liberal portion of the constituency to be represented in future by a high Protectionist, also a gentleman of the Bentinck and Disraeli clique. The Jolliffe interest has been predominant in this borough upwards of half a century, but at the election which took place on the 7th of January, 1835, John Cornthwaite Hector, Esq., succeeded in routing this interest, being placed at the head of the poll by a majority of sixteen. He continued to sit uninterruptedly until July 25, 1837, when the present Hon. Gentleman was elected by a majority of one, but was unseated on the 14th of February, 1838, by a Committee of the House of Commons, who declared the petitioner, J. C. Hector, Esq., to have been duly elected, and ought to have been returned. He discharged his duties in a most consistent manner up to July, 1841, always voting with all the leading Radical Members of the House of Commons on every important occasion, much to the satisfaction of his constituents. This part-pocket borough has been severely contested on several occasions ever since 1818; and, previous to the passing of the Reform Bill, the present Liberal Member for Carlisle, W. Marshall, Esq., being the highest bidder in the market that aspired to a seat in the Legislature, the then Tory patron, Colonel Hylton Jolliffe, allowed him to be returned, jointly with himself, but on all occasions, when division took place, both were voting in opposition to each other. We hope soon to see this borough again represented by a gentleman of independent principles.—From a Correspondent.
