Livett seconded the nomination. Mr. Manners Sutton, after dating th a t a private ftiendship existed between himself and Hr. Adair, and paying a waving tribute to the talents Mr. Campbell, said that no one on the hustings, in the Wettable before him, or in the empire, was more lin os* attached to the established church than he was. Be was a supporter of church and state, and he wished to see them supported by the only bulwark which la times of trouble can maintain them.—Mr. Shafto Adair, after some preliminary observations, entered i o ta a history of his defeats. He remarked that he rejoiced to meet the people because he derived in formation front them, and learned how labour sup -1 potte d the great pyramid—what was mentally passing in the workhop., in the broad fields of agriculture, on the seas, and thn ughout the colonies and the empire. After alluding to the progress of free-trade, enjoining the necessity of the consolidation of the triumphs already won, sad advocating watchfulness for the future, he reminded them that it had been thought, after the passing of the Re form ga, that the star of reform would never sutler eclipse, but so old friend of his had said, " Guard we ll what you have won, lest the spirit depart from that fair creation, and only remain to haunt you as the phantom of your departed liberty. The Honourable W. F. Campbell based his claim. on the three positions : 1, that the • protection" now happily suspended ought not to be renewed ; 2, that the Rosnish church ought sot to be endowed ; and, 3, that the social policy of the present government ought to be countenanced, etreagthened, and secured by the approbation of the people. Mr. Campbell proceeded to argue these points at great length, and in the course of his speech refused to pledge hirn , elf on any subject but the Roman catholic en dowment question. He thought, however, that any candi date chancing the opinion+ that secured kis election was bound to resign ; if required, he would throw family and party ha to the winds; and so he was indebted to the elec tin oboe for his seat, them alone would he consult.—The show of hands was declared by the Mayor to be in favour of Mow. Adair and Campbell, a pull being demanded on be half of Mr. Sutton. CALNE. The election for this borough was fixed for Thursday, July 29.

He said, being a new candidate, be should doubt L 4 ,1 he expected to go more at length into the principles which he held and professed than had been done by the gentlemen opposite. Ile saw before him an orange banner, inscribed with "civil, commercial, and religious liberty;" sad those great principles he would endeavour to support by every means in his power. They might well rejoice that they lived in a free country; but its constitution, though so mach vaunted, was susceptible of many improvements. He had in his canvass been many times •eked his opinion upon the " ballot ;" and, after gravely considering that qaestion, though anxious to afford the honest voter the tallest protection possible against intimidation, he believed that the growing intelligence of the people would even tually render such • measure unnecessary. and therefore to could not give it his support. The show of kinds was declared to be in favour of Sir Henry Smyth and Mr. Hardcastle, those for the latter being parts - utterly numerous. A poll was demanded in behalf of Mr. Sanderson. DOVER.

He had not come as the nominee of any individu al , or any set of men, whatever might be their influence or official Motion; but before he had intended to visit them he had received • requi.ition, signed by many hundreds of the free and independent voters of Dover. Mr. Prinsep now claimed for himself, to the astonishment of many who heard him, the original advocacy of free trade. He said that he was in Moine* of Sir Robert Peel, and no doubt that Sir Robert, pro fi ting by the adviee of so able a master and humbly following in his footsteps, had gone beyond him.

The nomination of candidates took plain on Wednesday at 10 o'clock, on hustings erected in front of UNE:change MM. market-place. The usual formalities of reading the writ and the act spinal bribery having been gone through, Dr. Shaw, a magistrate of the borough, nominated Mr. James Parker (conservative), of Rothley Temple, Leicester shire, and • Chancery barrister : Mr. talker seconded the nomination. Dr. Noble then nominated Sir Joshua Walmaley, of Liverpool (liberal), as a candidate : Mr. Ellis seconded the nomination. Mr. Harris nominated Mr. It. Gardner (radical). Mr. G. Buckley, a framework knitter, was nominated by Thomas Knightly, and seconded by T. Lichfield. The several candidates then addressed the electors, Mr. Parker declaring his strong adhesion to the protestant church as by law established, and his firm determination to resin any further concessions to the Romish church, and all changes in the venerated institutions of the country. Sir J. Walmaley avowed himself • churchman, but was opposed to church-rates. He said he should not on the present occasion deal in personalities. Mr. Parker mid he was here to defend the common rights and privileges of society— r and he (Sir J. Walmaley) counted them as the very basis and foundation of all good government. It bed be fore now been very properly remarked that religion was too sacred to be made a hustings question. This be had before expressed, and he would only now so far allude to it as to remark that he be. tiered that it was a principle implanted in the human mind—that religion was a matter between man and his maker—that all mea were endowed with the faculty of rea son, to enable them to distinguish between right and wrong --to enable them to judge for themselves as to the doctrines they should believe and the teachers of religion they should approve ; and that all who were sincere, whatever their dif ' ference of opinion or sect, would be heard by that Being before whom all must bow and whom all must venerate. ' (Greet applause.) But they were told that their opponent had come forward on protestant principles ! Now, he would yield to no man in his love of protestant truth. But it was neomary to know what they meant by protestant prin. ciple• He believed the present position of the protestant established church was owing to its having fought the battle of liberty of conscience. Why, then, not extend that freedom of conscience to all parties ? I contend that forted contributions out of other men's pockets—from those who conscientiously dissent from the established church—is a crying and grievous wrong. It is like a faith forced upon the people, and such a faith is hateful both in the sigat of God and man ! I hope that the true principles of proteetantism, which are those of liberty of conscience and equal rights of private judgment to all, will be extended—it is nothing less than this, that the people will demand; as I take it, the men of Leicester will send such men to parliament only as will in their house of legislature be determined to maintain it and have it fer the nation.—Mr. Gardner declared himself in favour of the extension of the franchise, and such a renovation in the institutions of the isometry as should adapt them to the spirit and intelligence of the age.—Mr. Buckley having withdrawn, a show of hands was taken for the other three candidates, which the mayor declared to be in favour of Sir J.,Walmsley and Mr. Gardner. A poll was demanded on behalf of Mr. Parker. MAIDSTONE. Yesterday the nomination ler this borough took place. The former members, Messrs. Hope and Dodd, were pro pond and seconded, the former by Messrs. Day and (Sodden, and the Lotter by blown. Mercer and Hollingsworth, and there being no oppositition they were declared duly elected. MANCHESTER. Yesterday the election proceedings commenced, at ten o'clock, at the hustings erected at the south end of St. Ann's Square, which was densely filled, chiefly with non-electors, amongst whom, and near to the hustings, was a large body of persons either really disaffected towards Mr. Bright, in consequence of his opposition to the Ten Hours' Bill, or placed there by other parties, for the purpose of creating a disturbance. The hunt of the hurting' was protected by a barrier, within which was placed about 150 of the polies force. At ten o'clsck the mayor, the respective candidates, and a large body of their influential friends and supporters presented themselves. The usual formalities were duly gone through by the town clerk; and alter a brief address from the mayor, the Right Hoe. T. Milner Gibson was pro posed by Mr. Alderman Watkins, and seconded by Mr. Alderman Walker. John Bright, Esq., was proposed by Mr. George Wilson, and seconded by Mr. Watkin. No other candidate being proposed, the mayor declared these gentlemen to be duly elected, amidst con siderable cheering, and hisses, and groans, from the disaffected. The Right Honourable M. Gibson addressed the assembled multitude, in exposition of his principles and in defence of his vote upon the Bishop of Manchester question, and was listened to with very marked satisfaction by the assembly.—Mr. Bright then rose, but throughout his address the yells, hisses, and tumultuous conduct of those nearest to the hustings prevented him from being heard by any but the reporters. The barrier was broken in, possibly by acci• dent, and the pollee apprehending violence, commenced using their staves, which bad the effect of clearing a large space in front of the hustings. Order was afterwards to some extent restored, and Mr. Bright proceeded to vindicate his opposition to the Factory Bill, but did not succeed in making himself heard.—Mr. Mark Phillips afterwards took his leave of the constituency, and an enthusiastic rots of thanks was passed to him for his past services. MALMRBBURY. Yesterday, the nomination of ; representative for this borough took place. The Hon. J. K. Howard was re-elected. The hon. candidate was proposed by Mr. T. Lae* and seconded by Mr. H. J.

Mr. Dodd was proposed by Alderman Mercer, and seconded by Mr. J. Hollingworth.—No other candidate being pro posed, the Mayor declared Messrs. Hope and Dodd elected. NOTTINGHAM.

This announcement was received with great cheering. Very few hands were shown for Mr. Stuart. A poll was demanded on behalf of that gentleman, and was fixed to commence at eight o'clock, end elms at four this day. NORWICH. The polling commenced yesterday at eight o'clock, bat proceeded very slowly for the first three or four hours, led it ss evident that many of the voters were awaiting an opportunity of making the highest mias ma = votes, in spite of handb published by thePa:rpm', War ing 6001. reword for the of any person ambit se receiving a bribe. There appeared, however, neablea vid t f te kind offered ; and this probably has been the pare* that for many years has taken place in Nor wich. There were others who refused to vote early, that they might secure their particular can didate by plumping for him, if there were any necessity for it in the end. - It is said that a great many of the old whige kept back, being determined to vote for the Marquis of Douro, if there was a probability of Mr. Parry heading him. If not, they would, it is said, have preferred not to vote at all, not being willing to incur any unnecessary obloquy with the more ardent reformers of their own party, especially as some of these were members of the Town Council, and would re quire their support another time. Mr. Pete and the Marquis of Douro have been retained. NEWCASTLB-UNDER-LYNE. A stiff contest, but in perfect good humour. Before two o'clock Christie was widentood to be a few rotes ahead of Jackson. Brackley still third, with no prospect of getting higher. - • OXFORD CITY. The two liberal candidates for the City of Oxford, Mews. Langston and Wood, were returned yesterday without oppo sition ; although the conservatives threatened en the pre rime day to bring forward a gentleman of " talent, wealth, and sound principles." They might have added of " mound iudgment,' whirl, ho hes strongly evinced in not complying With their invitation.—The mayor having made the official declaration, Mr. Langston (who had been proposed and seconded by Alderman Sadler and Browning) referred to his past votes u • IllerintlMP ter the future--explained that In voting for the Maynooth genet against the feeling of many of his constituents, he had done so upon political and not religions prosab, being opposed to all state endowments he 11114= 04g porposes—explained else that in voting for the of Manchester BM he opposed the poogeMtlea gi him a meat In parlia ment, declared himaelf a lee trader and in favour of a re vision of tandem, bat broke down la answering a question about the game laws, havieuralebseed himself, in that re spect, a "preelirver. —Kr.

He rejoiced in the repeal of** corn laws, achieved by argument sad reason, and a measure which, in itself, opeaed to the country a career of tree trade. (Cheers.) He also was for • revision of taxation, being anxious that property and not poverty should bear the b ur d en . H e a b ou ld like to see our dependencies so governed as to be an aid to and not a drain upon the parent elate. He wu for educating the people, and by that means diminishing the number of criminals wbo filled our prisons and our penal colonies. He was a conscientious churchman, but thought that the state ought not in any way to interfere with men's religious opinions. (Cheers.) He was no Romanist, but he felt that the Ro man catholic@ had as much right to their religious opinions as be had to his. (Hear hear.) When he said, therefore, that he was opposed to the endowment of their church, it was not because they were Roman cathor.cs, but because he objected to state interference. As fur the cry of "No Popery," be regarded it es a mere mockery and a delusion, got op to deceive constituencies into the support of men whom they would not otherwise think of, and who would not represent their real interests.—The members were then chaired through the city in the midst of a perfect cloud of flags and floating banners, bearing appropriate inscriptions. OXFORD UNIVERSITY. The nomination for the University of Oxford took place yesterday in the Sheldonian Theatre, which was crowded from an early hour. At 11 o'clock, several members of con ' gregation took out their regencies to enable them to exercise the franchise; and shortly after twelve, the vice-chancellor (Dr. Symonds), preceded by the university racer, entered and took his teat. The usual formalities having been gone through (the whole proceedings, except the reading cf the act of parliament, having been conducted in Latin), Dr. Barnes, canon of Christ church, briefly proposed Sir R. H. Inglis, as one who had already long and Lotlifolly served them (cheers). Dr. Jenkins, (Master of Baliol,) also, in very brief terms, proposed Mr. Round, to one upon whom they could depend, and as a sincere friend and defender of the church. Dr. Richards (rector of Exeter College), in rather a lengthened Latin oration, proposed Mr. W. E. Gladstone (evidently as the opponent of Mr. Round as he observed that he had no desire whatever to disturb Sir It. Inglis, who had well and faithfully served them for eighteen years). Having alluded to the distinguished academic career of Mr. Gladstone (whose name was enthusiastically received), and lauded him for his piety, integrity, ability, and honour, es well a. for his literary and scientific attainments; said he knew of no man more qualified to represent that university— more likely or more able to defend its privilege'. (Loud cheers, followed bye cry of "No popery!") Of his ecclesiastical opinions his acts, not his words, formed the fairest test. (Re newed cheers, and a cry of " hlaynooth!" in so sepulchral • tone of voice ea to excite much laughter.) He was amongst the foremost and most eloquent of those who advocated the extension of the Episcopal Anglican Church through out every part of the globe; and, when in t)te counsels of her Majesty, had used his patronage and best en deavours towards upholding that church in many of our colonies where it required such support. (Cheers, again followed by a cry of " Maynooth!") He therefore confidently claimed their suffrages for Mr. Gladstone. (Great cheering and waving of college caps for some minutes.) The meeting then separated, and the voting commenced im mediately, in the Convocation House. It will be observed that there were uo seconders to the nomination ; and by a rule of the university, the candidate., previous to and dunng the election, are prohibited from coming within twenty miles of the scene of action. No contest has taken place tor this university since the rejection of Sir R. Peel in 1328. It therefore excites more than a usual degree of interest. The polling was carried on very vigorously up to seven o'clock, when it closed for the day. OLDHAM. The nomination of candidates to occupy the two vacant seats for Oldham took place yesterday. Rustiogs had been erected in the open air in the market place. and the proceed iugs commenced at ten o'clock. There had been five candidates in the field, but one (Mr. Halliday) bad retired from the contest on the previous evening--leasing Megan. Fox, Fielden, and Cobbett to contest the representation in the liberal interest, and Mr. Deneroft on behalf of the conservatives. Mr. Joshua Milne proposed Mr. John Fielden, one of the late members. Mr. William Taylor seconded the motion. Mr. Jonathan Melhrpin nominated Mr. John Morgan Cobbett. Mr. Alex. Taylor seconded the nomination. Mr. James Halliday (the retireed candi date in the radical interest) proposed Mr. W. J. Fox, of London. Mr. John Platt seconded the nomination. Mr. James Leese moved Mr. John DuncroP, sharebroker, of Manchester, as a fit and proper person.—Mr. Nathan Wor thington seconded the motion.—Mr. John Pielden then pre. sented himself, and was received with immense ayplause, reiterating the opinions he had often before expressed on political topics, and dwelling particularly on the importance of a revision of taxation, tined they had obtained a reduction of which he maintained that neither free trade nor Tea Hours' Bill would give the people comfort.—Mr. Cobbett followed, but confined himself chiefly to rebutting charges connected with the contest in the borough in 1835, and of a purely local character.—Mr. Fox was not called upon till nearly 3 o'clock, though the proceedings had been opened at 10, and our report left immediately afterwards. It was thought probable that it would be 6 o'clock before Mr. Fox and Mr. Duneroft would have done speaking, so u to afford an opportunity for the show of hands to be taken. There was no doubt all the candidates would go to the poll, and that it would be a hard contest to-day. POOL*. Yesterday the show of hands was declared by the hip sheriff. Anthony Adams, Esq., to be in favour of Mr. Philip (the liberal candidate and late member) and Mr. Robiruen, the conservative candidate sod chairman of Lloyd's. Menus.

Perfect proposed, and Mr. Simpson seconded, Thomas Henry Preston, Esq., late a captain in the ith Hunan.— Mr. Milner said that, after having been three times returned their representative, for a fourth time he solicited a renewal of that trust, confident that he had done nothing to forfeit their good opinion. Mr. Martin was an advocate of free-trade principles, and had not become a convert for electioneering purposes ; but he was a free-trader when these doctrines were very unfashionable. He was for an extension of the franchise, the ballot, and for civil and religious liberty to the utmost extent —Mr. Preston de clared himself a conservative, and an opponent of the May. nooth grant —Show in favour of Preston and Martin.-LA poll demanded by Mr. Mikes. THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 30, 1847. would certainly be then entitled to 'seethe. The learned sajeant then alluded to a handbill eintulated yesterday, eon meeting his name with perry. Be that ke bad never uttered the trash therein c upon him ; and cha racterised the placard as the work some skulking traitor. Mr. SALMON, of Bowing, proposed French Mort, Eel , of Hertßeld.—Mr. I. L. Farrow ma:ceded the acumination.

Stanton was proposed by Mr. David Ricardo, and seconded by Mr. Cartwright Mr. Marcus Merrywether Turner was proposed by Mr. Benjamin Parsons, and seconded by Mr. Clutterbuck. The latonma of the hour at which the Mumma of the nomination concluded will not allow us to give even a summary of what took place. The Numb of Mr. Parsons took considerably more than an hour in delivery. The show of hands was declared to he in favour of Messrs. Scrape and Turner, and • poll was demanded on behalf of Mr. Stanton.

Jt was dear that Mr. Urquhart was the popular candidate, and the mayor declared the show of hands to be in favour of him and Mr. Lea, although it was the common opinion that Alderman Sydney had the second show. Captain Carnegie (the con. sensitive) had the fewest hands held up in his favour. Much amusement was created by the exhibidon of several cocks, who crowed at each other from the hustings of the different candidates, being placed in party-coloured cages. The absence of the blue and yellow colours, which yester day paraded the streets for Metoyard, occasioned many expressions of sympathy. Urquhart is said to be safe, and the struggle will be between the alderman and the captain. TAUNTON, The nomination for this borough took place yesterday. The candidates were the Right Hon. Henry Labouchere and Sir T. E. Colebrooke, our late members (liberals), and Artur Mille, Esq. (conservative). The candidates, having been duly proposed and seconded, addressed the assem bled multitude in front of the hustings. On a show of hands, the numbers were declared to be in favour of Mr. Labouchere and Mr. Mills ; a poll was demanded in behalf of Sir T. E. Colebrooke. Of Mr. Labouchere's return not the slightest doubt is felt. TOTE 2...88. The nomination of members for this borough took place yesterday. Lord Seymour; Barry Baldwin, Esq.; and 8. Ricardo, Esq., each accompanied by their different friends, banners, and bands of music, arrived at the hustings on the plains.—Mr. 8. Cary then proposed, end Lieut. Boardman seconded, the nomination of Lord Seymour.—Mr. G. Farwell proposed Barry Baldwin, E.q., and Mr. W. D. Adams seconded this nomination.—Mr. E. Luscombe, R.N., pro. S. Ricardo, Esq.—Mr. C. Webber seconded Mr. aed Ricardo's nomination.—The show of hands took place, and the polling comes off to-day (Friday). READING. The nomination of candidates for this borough took plate besterday in the Town-hall.—Mr. H. Simmonds (brewer) riefly proposed (for the seventh time) Mr. Charles Russell, and Mr. William Bandy (brewer and banker) seconded the nosoination.—Mr. Charles Russell then roes, and after ex praising his thanks to his friends for the manner in which they had proposed him, referred to kis acts in parliament as a faithful fulfilment of the pledges he gave to his consti tuents. He had been sent to protect the agriculture and industry of England, and he had dent so. He would support the protestant establishment, believing it to contain the purest form of christian faith. We had found that the Roman catholic religion was not consistent with the main tenance of civil and religious liberty. He never could con sent to the endowment of the Roman catholic priesthood, and would not allow of further encroachments on the es tablished church. Education and the poor laws were two other prominent questions of the late session. He was desirous that education - should be spread a.s widely as possible. The last acts of the late imam showed a dis position to allow the industrious and honest the means of obtaining a livelihood, but to prevent the idle and dissolute' from preying on the other Owes. He was favourable to such a modification of the poor laws es would not impair their usefulness and efficiency. He was opposed to such an inequality of the burthen of taxation for the support of the poor as would oppress one section of the community at the expense of the other. He then appealed to the constituency, on the ground of his long and faithful services, and begged them to remember that he had never departed from his avowed prin ciples, and resumed his seat amidst the chases of his friends sad the Aessfening groans and hisses of his opponents. The Right Hon. Viscount Chelsea was next proposed by Mr. Chase, and seconded by Mr. Edward Hodges. Lord Chelsea, amidst much uproar, sa , d be solicited their suffrages six years ago on principles which he believed still influenced a majority of the constituency. He believed they were still desirous of upholding the great institutions of the country, church and state. He came not there to com pare his talents with those of hie opponents, but be would not yield to them in honesty of principle. He would consent to ell reasonable proposals for reform, but he would uphold all the great institutions which had made this country the ad miration of the civilised world. . Mr. J. B. Mooch, of Coley-park, hew Reading, propos ed i Mr. &tact Tolfourd ;he was seconded by Mr. wry Letchworth. The learned Serjeant arose amidst shoots the most deafening. He *elicited again the honour which 13 years dented without a canvass, was bestowed oa ye a rs an unprece majority. The lapse of those 13 had taken many of his old friends from him, but they had left him some, and had matured the powers of others. In no other place on earth could he find such friends. In noother place on earth could he feel uhe did here. In nocase would he accept an invitation to any other constituency. He would be therefore for Reading, or not at all. He staked all future public life on that honour. The place was associated with those recol lections of principles which had influenced them and their fathers, and it had adhered to them in the past, when their advocacy was almost a crime. He was little likely to abandon them now they were triumphant. It was well WO thirty years since, in that hall, he first, with a full hawk sad • trembling voice, stepped into Public lib, wie thitriMinri had ridden down the people of MUIIIMMOM NEN MIA period he was not conscious of a public sotoppaeed to the pdaciples which he then espoused. Vast, indeed, wee the change which had taken place between that period and the pre sent. No other epoch in the world was characterised by such achievements over tyranny and oppression. The party who had then mortgaged the industry of the nation, held under bans the consciences of the people. and suppressed the free expression of their wrongs. He alluded in terms of great eloquence to the operation of the test acts, and to the prosti ' tution of the name of religion in the administration of oaths. He then alluded to the restrictions on food ; and eharecter ised them as injurious to the intercourse of nation with na tion—of heart with heart. Ho would may nothing of the statesman who had fallen from party; or, he should rather ray, had descended from party. On the question of educa tion, he said he approved of educating the mass of the people until they were fitted to exercise those powers which they . • TEWKESBURY. Yesterday the election for this borough terminated rather more abruptly than was expected, as, at the close of the nomination, each party appeared confident of being at the head of the poll. But it seems that, at a late hour on Wed nesday night, a meeting of Lord Lucelles' committee wee held, when it we determined not to preened further with the contest, and yesterday morning the other candidates pro ceeded to the polling-booths, when a few votes were taken, and the m►yor declared Mr. John Martin and Mr. Hum phrey Brown, duly elected. The successful candidates are both liberal, and are to be chaired on Tuesday next. WARWICK. Sir Charles Douglas and Mr. Collins were again retuned for this borough by a large 'majority over Mr. Henry Roberta. The election was devoid of any excitement. WAKEFIELD. The pill opened yesterday morning at eight o'clock. The first return showed a msjonty of six for Mr. Alexander, bet this was speedily disposed of, and Use subsequent returns up to the close show a gradually increasing majority for Mr. Sanders. WESTBURY. Yesterday the nomination for this borough took piece. Mr. William Matravers Freed Jame§ WiLKS, ElNit i Mr. Joshua Whittaker second the nomination. Mr. .O. Ludlow then proposed, and Mr. Robt. Atkins seetaded, Mr. M. Higgins. Mr. Wilson entered bate a detail of his political views on the various seliesh now before the public. He declared himself to be oposot to the government system of education—to the endowment& et ens religious sect at the expense of another—to the ipios laws—and to ell restrictions on trade and commortto. Mr. Higgins made no direct statement as to his polled views, except that he vas favourable to the existing game laws—picking a pocket and taking a bare being in his ad ulation equally cr im inal. The show of hands wu in favour of Mr. Wilson. A poll was then demanded for Mr. Higgins. WOODSTOCK. The Marquis of Blandford (C) was returned for this borough yesterday. Mr. Faulkner (described as " the notorious radical of Oxford") wee put in nomination, and addressed the electors for upwards of two hours. Haying been at first objected to u not possessing a sufficient quali fication, be said that he wee a freeman of Oxford, a feoffee of the richest parish in the city, a freeholder of the county, a member of the corporation, a commissioner of streets, and a guardian of the poor; and concluded by saying that he would not go to the poll until the electors were protected— and advising the people of Woodstock to petition parliament for such a measure, or for the disfranchisement of the borough, which wu in the pocket of the Duke of Marl borough. WINCHESTER. Yesterday the nomination took place. Mr. W. R. Little hales, one of the borough magistrates, proposed, end Mr. C. Wooldridge seconded, the amisetica of Sir James But. Mr. Chidell proposed, and Dr. Waite secoaded, Mr. Escott. Mr. B. Carter was mewed by Dr. Crawford, seconded by Mr. G. W. John's . Sir James East grounded has claims on his consistent advocacy of con• serrative principle*, on the of whisk he had been so long one of the of Wiesherder. Yet, while he had adhered to these prin ciples, he had supported gag ammo issespeetive of the party from which they iresarlid.—Mr. Newt sought a renewal of the trust which bed bees emahrred on him six years ago; and his claim to it was grounded on the fidelity with which he had executed its duties. Mr. B. Carter came forward, in consequence of a re quisition havin been presented to himself, as one of their candidates, signed by one•fourth of th e e l se . tore body. His principles were those of his family: he was a friend to cavil, religious, and conaniercial liberty, and he felt a pleasure in avowuig the same seatiments ea en tertained by his father, whose exertions I. the mum of reform were known thrftsbout all Hampshire. The show of hands was in favour of Messrs. Carter and Esoott. A poll was demanded for Sir James East. WOLVERHAMPTON. The nomination for this free-trade borough took place yes terday. No opposition was expected ; but on the morning fixed for the nomination • a placard was posted up, emanating from Samuel Cook, the Dudley chartist, intimating that he intended to offer himself as a can didate, for the purpose of advocating the doctrines of the people's charter. —John Barker, Esq., nominated Mr. and Mr. Wynn seconded the somination.—Mr.Walker proposed Mr. Thoreeley, and Mr. theme* seconded the motion.—Mr. Limey twho was nominated at Dudley yes terday, in opposition to Mr. Benbow) then proposed Mr. Cook, in a speech of considerable length, embracing the leading doctrines of chartiam, and Mr. Adney seconded the nomination.—Previous to petting the question,the returning anion asked Mr. Cook's supporters for a guarantee for one third of the expenses of the hustings, &c., to which they and Mr. Cook replied, that they would give him an answer at the proper time, and, on their declining to give him an answer then, he declined putting Mr. Cook's name. Messrs. Villiers and Tbornelsy, as well as the relieneg °Moor, ware anxious to show is.l necessary courtesy towards Mr. Cook and his friends ; and eventually it was agreed that Mr. Cook should, if he pleased, address the electors, though he were not put to them es e candidate. Then_bdit. thellehett, me ether candidate, Meson. Villiers hffa Therm ley ipso useminserly elected. Wr. V rhea pomaded to return thanks in an able dims. Altteiiktel6 first introduction to the aliseten, whenheheilpielsei to support the total abolition of the eess4aere, V showed bow he had fulfilled that pledge, by wastiatiksi Wm that he had moved their repeat in nine eneemelve yew • and ungratulated them upon the ultimate metes whist hid bees obtained. Six years ago one of the =paths ever Stemed in this country washanded erevest the repeal of the corn-laws, and unfor tunately, far • time, that party deluded. large section of the working slimes into the belief that' their repeal would be injurious to those who got their bread by the sweat of their brow, by propagating the fallacy that dear food and high wages went hand in hand, and vice versa. But at length, by the interposition of Providence, bad harvests were experienced; food was dear, but wages were not high, because trade was bad. And then came good harvests; food was cheap, but wages were good bemuse business was brisk. These facts, coupled with the teachings of the Anti-Corn-law League, opened the eyes of the working men ; and as soon as they began to see the tin its right light, they hastened take the side w i t!' to wee ("paced to monopoly, Then came the recanta tion 010 Janus Graham, who did the best thing that a man weld do in his situation ' for he candidly owned that he was in the wrong. He said he had been all along mistaken in upholding the babes mentioned fallacy, for that it was clear that deer load did not produce high wages. Mr. Villiers then traced the progress of e rents, beginning with the potato disease in Ireland, the change in the views of Sir Robin Peel (whom ha eulogised for so hoeutly, and at so great a sacrifice, owning that he alai had been wrong) and the rapid growth of public opinion, until the triumph of free trade had been mewed. It might be said that, though we had free trade in core, times were but badly now; but le would remind them that he bad ever stated in the House of Commons, as • reason why the corn•laws should be at once repealed, that it would be a long time, when the repeal had taken place, before we should recover from the evil effi tats which their enactment had produced. Having glanced at some of the permanent evils which the corn.laws bad produced—such as the establishment of manufactories on the continents of Europe and America, and the enactment of restric tive laws against our commerce.—Mr. Villiers proceeded to say, that, though the corn-laws had been repealed, there was yet much to be done, or, rather, he preferred saying, undone; for he had not much faith in government doings for the people. It they undid much of what their predecessors had done, they would be doing most good. During the last ses sion he had been engaged on three committees of great im portance, upon which evidence was elicited of such a nature as to induce him to form strong opinions on the subjects brought under their notice. These subjects were the game laws, the navigation laws, and the law of settlement all which he thought productive of great evil, and which he would consequently abolish. There were two other import ant measures promoted by government, which he should be inclined to suport, if on due inquiry he thought them calcu lated to benefit the community at large. These were the education question and the health of towns bill. As he had previously intimated, be preferred the government leaving these things to the people themselves; but if on due inquiry it should be found that the poor were unable to procure edu cation for their children, or badness of trade prevented the carrying out of improvements necessary to secure the public health, he might be disposed to approve of government in terference. In no ease would be have the question of re-. ligion mixed up with government schemes of education ; but , he must confess, when ho saw money leviehed upon stablis and palaces, and he knew not what trifles besides, he did long for the pleasure of spending a little of it in the erection of schools. There was another government measure which he had supported ; viz., the Irish poor law, a bill which he I thought not only politic bat just, and one he hoped would con fer great benefit upon the mem of the Irish people. After al luding to the famine with which Ireland had been afflicted, and the dearth which had prevailed in other parts of the empire,and expressing his opinion tint thousands might have been saved from starvation if free-trade principles had been adopted some years ago, Mr. Villiers ventured to predict that brighter times were in store, especially for this district (which he thought would yet; flourish as it had never done before), sod concluded his speech amid loud cheers. Mr. THORNELET addressed the electors in a brief speech, in the course of which he expressed his opinion that his ex cellent colleague had not received that amount of considera tion from the public at large to which his extraordinary exertions in the cause of free-trade entitled him. It was on this account that he was peculiarly pleased to observe that Sir Robert Peel, in his reply to the Wolverhampton address, had alluded to Mr. Villiers by name, u one who had had • large share in bringing about corn law repeal. Mr. VILLIERS was then about to move • vote of thanks to the returning officer, when • question was put by a person in the crowd, as to why he and hie colleague voted against the Ten Hours Bill ? Mr. Villiers replied that he had not been informed of the views of hie constituent, on the point, but he had been told by working men, that, as they were often unable to work as long as they wished, through bad• nem of trade, they thought it very hard to be prevented making up for lost time when business was brisk. This answer seemed to give great satisfaction to the working men in the crowd, u did a elmilar one from Mr. Thomely ; and on Mr. Limey stepping forward, and saying that the answer was not satisfactory to him, he was ensiled with a storm of bidet, from the operatives. Mr. Linney then asked Mr. Villiers whether he would vacate his seat for Wolverhamp ton if he were elected for South Lancashire ?—Mr. Villiers replied that, if it were left to himself, he should certainly stick to him old friends. He came there to be re-electM, and it was him wish and intention to remain their representative. If they were of opinion -in the event of his being elected for South Lancashire—that he could best serve the people by sitting for South Lanca shire he was in their hands ,• for himself he had no private. ends to serve, but if left with him he should sit for Wolver hampton.—A vote of thanks to the returning offioer was then posed, and the proceedings terminated. WORCESTER. The nomination of candidates to represent this city took place yesterday at the Guildhall, before E. Webb, Esq., sheriff. The proceedings were conducted generally in good order. Mr. Lilly proposed and Mr. Alderman 1111 seconded the nomination of Mr. Hardy. Mr. W. Stallard then rose to put in nomination Mr. Raiford, who] was. seconded by H. D. Carden, Esq.— Dr. Hutines rose to nominate Osman Ricardo, Esq., and Alderman Evans to second that gentleman.—No other can didate appearing, Mr. Hardy addreseed the meeting, amidst some amusement caused by the hon. gentle man's singular mode of delivering himself, and the ex treme opinions which be entertained. The subject of education had been brought forward. Now he was always favourable to en education of the people, but he did not like government inspectors and officers to come forward to educate a man's wife and children (bear, and laughter); and , he considered that moan might be done with 501. by the voluntary system than a government could do with 1001.1 —Mr. Ruffard ad.ocatedgestoetion to British industry from foreign competition. They bed amiss a hoe trade in corn, but they ought, to eider W maw ik servimable, to have a tree Made in other articles of emsnisplioa.
