ASH ON commenced by saying that he thought the electors had a right to feel insulted by the course taken by the pr" ceding speakers in speaking at the ride of the hustings. fie also observed that Sir William Clay had based his pre tensions on the fact of having represented the borough for twenty years, as if the Tower Hamlets were his property. The 11011. electors present had shown themselves worthy of the suffrage ; they could be quiet when they had before them men who were prepared to address them. Ile then (-implanted that the power of wealth was being brought to bar on that eleetien, and that even the insolence of wealth had been shown at Hackney.

The returning officer then took • show of hands for each candidat. , in succession, observing the previous order, and, atter doing so, declared that the election had fallen on Mr. Newton and Mr. 0. 1 hompson. A poll was then demanded on behalf of each of the tan hide, 5 , , and fixed to commence at eight o'clock on the following (this) day. on the motion of Mr. Tuoursost, seconded by Sir W.

Evans and Sir Jahn Shelley addressed the electors of the parishes of St. George, Hanover-square, and St. James, yesterday, at the Hanover-square Dooms, where Mr. W. Gesstre presided, Mr. Routmeou moved and Mr. BZDOOOD then seconded the following resolution That this meeting, highly ap proving the political sentiments of Sir De Lacy Evans and Sri John Shelley, earnestly call on their brother reformers throughout the city and liberty of Westminster to use their best energies to secure the election of those gentle men, be lieving that the cause of refotui throughout the empire will be thereby greatly atrengtheatd," which was carried with only four dissentients—the number of electors present being between 300 and GOO. - In the afternoon the same two candidates met the parish ioni n of St. Anne, Soho, at Caldwell's-rooms, Dean-street, and in the evening the inhabitants of l'imlico, at the Wind sor Castle, Vauahall-bridge-road, and at both meetings they gave similar eaplanations of their views, Sir J. Shelley add ing that he was prepared to support such an alteration of the hasty duty as should make real property liable equally with pereonal property. At both meetings resolutions in favour of the candidates sad pledges of support were carried all but unanimously. CONINGHAM'S MEETINGS. A meeting of the friends of Mr. Conine:sat was held at the Old liing's Head, Bear-street, Leicetter-square, when that hon. candidate again refuted the charge that he was a socialist, stating, however, that be coincided with the opinions of Hobert Owen in favour of factory children and factory operatives. He reiterated his political principles, declaring himself a radical reformer to the fullest extent, and promised, if returned to parliament, he would make the &mad for manhood suffrage so ring in the House of Commons that it should re-eeho throughout the land. It was no answer to him that the working classes were not sufficiently intelligent—he had met poor weavers is Lancashire, earning lOa. or 12s. • week, who would teaks noble lords blush at their own ignoranee. lie wan a free trader, not in ema only, bat in religion and in knowledge.

The nomination for Liverpool took plow yesterday I (Tuesday). and the voting will commence this morning. The contest will be very close, but no doubt exists that Mr. Cardwell is safe, and it is believed also that his free-trade trainee, Mr. 4. C. Ewan, will also he returned. The era tat will lie prineipally_between Mr. Ewart and Mr. Turner, the Dolby candidate. With regard to Mr. Forbes Mackenzie, the other Derby candidate, he has not the ghat of a chance in the judgment of some of the oldest end most experieveed canvassers—men who have been engaged in all the electioneering struggles of the La 30 years. Never. thetas the protectionists are determined to win If they can, irrespective of all coot, and, if money could buy the election, no doubt they would succeed. Fortunately, the Corrupt Practices of Elections Bill, passed 'howdy before parliament reaps , cannot fail to put a stop to muds of the bribery and treating, at which the tory party in this town have always been notorious adepts.. The proceedings having been opened by the Mayor, Mr. U. 11. LAWKIINCI proposed Mr. Cardwell as a et and proper person to represent Liverpool in parliament. Mr. Henn Howley seconded the nomination; and, although on able speaker, his voice was drowned in the shouts cal tLe turns, who seemed afraid of anything which fell from them telling on :he minds of those present. Mr. Moves Moss proposed Mr. Forbes Mackenzie as • member of a government that the merchants of Liverpool had long desired to see. He had every confidence in the administration of Lord Derby, who would give us cheap bread but not at the expense of the British peasant, and cheap sugar, if he were supported by a parliamentary ma jority. Mr. FliANCli Sat kw seconded the nomination Inlay and amidst great contusien and interruptions. I 'Mr. EDMUND MoLensux proposed Mr. Charles Turner, whose character as &merchant and a man of business he highly eulogised. Mr. J. A. TOBIN seconded the nomination, and in the course of his speech entered into a variety of statistics to I show that the repeal of the navigation laws was fast ruin. ing the shipping interest and the country. Mr. Ilettlillee LAIILII proposed Mr. Joseph C. Ewart. Mr. N's. MATIINUNE seconded the nomination. Ile called upon the electors not to trust the helm of the state to men who were certain to sail in • wrung direction. Mr. CARDWELL then addressed the electors in • long and SOW eloquent speech, which was frequently inter rupted by vociferous cheering on the one hand and the most exeruciatieg yells and uproar on the other. The torics were determined not to hear Mr. Card well, and the consequence was that he was almost inaudible, except to that immediately near him. 'the expedient of their opponents now was to say they would not advocate the re-inipueiti.or of the corn laws; but they stood up fur the alterhatire," to which the country would be compelled to submit if the protectionists continued in power. The public had been released of customs and ranee duties to the extent of eleven millions, and yet the revenue had not decreased. Ile hod just received • com munication by electric telegraph giving the Board of Trade returns 6,r the bth of July. The customs' duties had in creased 183,9111., the teeter had increased 23,7001., the stamp, hod increnscil 101,334/.—showing an immense in crease in bu•iaese. (Cheers.) The question before the electors was that of free trade, although many other suer jests were submitted to them. Mr. Tobin talked of the decay of shipbuilding. It was true that in 1849, when the question was in a state of doubt, only 121,266 tons were built, but in the year last past there were 119,500 tons built. We had on the 31st of December, 1849, 4,144,000 tons of shipping, and in two years it hail ri.en, under the influence of tree trade, to It had been said that the number of sailors had decreased. Why, in 1819, the number of sailors was 237,971, and in two years the comber hail risen to 240,925. They were told that the question was not one of free trade, but of teligion, and they were told so by the advocates of Lord Derby, would told them that he did not intend to repeal the Meynooth grant. Oar religion, said he, has taught us to feed the hungry, and to retain peace and good will among men. (Loud cheers.) They did not wear their religion as a cloak, to be put on when the weather is adverse, ai.d thrown of when it is favourable. The true question submitted to Liverpool is—Do you accept, or do you reject, the policy of Sir Robert Pet 1 ? The men who calumniated that statesman in his life, and who arc banded together te+ a protectionist government, have got into power. They say they will hate protection in some shape or other, and that it is fur the electors to decide whether they will have it or not. . . Mr. MACKENZIE then addressed the electors, in the course of wLitli he advocated the policy of Lord Derby, and showed that the question at issue wes not one of free trade v. protection, but one relating to the protestant insti tutions of the country. The aggressive policy of the Church of Rome mu-t be met end resisted. The hon. gentleman proceeded in this strain some time, amidst the jeers and yells of his opponents. Ile was very impatiently listened to. Mr. EWAItT said the question to be decided was whe ther they were to have free trade or not. It was (or the de cision of that question that he had consented to come into the contest. 'Whilst he was an advocate for free trade, he was an advocate also for relieving the agricultural and ship ping interests of the burdens under which they unjustly la boured. He would reduce the consular fees and light dues. The lights of the country should be borne by the state, and not by the shipping interest. Mr. Ewart proceeded to con tend that the building of men-of-war vessels should be done by private shipbuilders, in order to prevent the waste and extravagance in the government yards. (Hear.) He was • warm friend to the education of the people, and hoped some satisfactory scheme might be adopted for the instruc tion of the children of this crummy. Mr. DANIEL Nattatur asked Mr. Mackenzie whether he was prepared to oppose every government grant in which the Roman catholic' participated ? Mr. Macizszt it—l don't consider that question fairly put. If you ask me any question with regard to any par ticular grant I will answer it. Mr. NEILNON—Did yon vote for the government educa tion grants of last seams ? Mr. MACKENZIE—I doa't remember. (O h, ob.) Mr. JEFFERY—Believing the grant to aynooth to be highly injurious to the welfare of this country, will you bring in a bill to repeal immediately and for over the grant to Maynooth ? Mr. MACKENZIE—My answer is, that I know that another member is about to do it. (Hisses.) Mr. JEFFERS—Suppose that man dies, or refusing to do it, will you then do it? No answer. The tories would not allow Mr. Mackenzie to give • reply to the question, and in truth that gentleman evinced no desire, _ _ . -.; ll;MayOl:Cailed for a show of hands, which was de clared to be in favour of Messrs.

In conclusion, he declared his determination to maintain the honour of the country, end to preserve the rights, liberties, and advancement of every den of the community. Mr. MILNER, was received with applause on rising to address the electors. He said that he had been for four years the representative of York, and that during that, time he had constantly endeavoured to perform his any, and to advocate those principles which he professed. 110 expressed his satisfaction at the sober and temperate manner in which the election was being conducted, and then went on to state the grounds on which he objected to the policy of Earl Derby's government ; first, because he believed that if that:nobleman obtained • majority in parliament, he would in some shape re-enact the protective laws which had I been destroyed ; secondly, because the Earl of Derby I had pledged himself while in power to cheek the demo emetic feeling of the country ; in other words, that he would not permit those representative reforms which were so strongly desired by the people to he carried Into effect ; and, thirdly, because he believed that the education scheme which would be proposed by Lord Derby in the ensuing ses sion of parliament would not be of such a comprehensive nature as to meet the wants of the great masers of the people. Mr. Milner expressed his desire that the people should obtain the necessities, and even some luxuries, of life at as cheap a rate as possible; and said he was of opinion that the great burden of taxation should he borne by the owners of real property, instead of by the industry and labour of the country. Entering into some statistics in relation to this matter, Mr. Milner went on to express his opinions in favour of an extension et the franchise to all ratepayers, and a liberal system of education, together with his disapproval of the Militia Bill, and concluded by some remarks in favour of free-trade principli s. (Omen.) 11. V INC ENT. Esq., then rose amidst much cheering frem his supporters. He alluded to the pleasure it had afforded him to see the peaceable manner in which the contest had hitherto been conducted. Ile declared his firm adherence to the constitution and the country, and expressed his de sire to see that constitution improved and perfected, remark , ing that, from whatever party such measures and improve ments come, they should have his support. Ile stated his adherence to the principles of free trade, which he said he considered to be a settled question, sod he animadverted , upon the conduct of Mr. D. Disraeli, who, while he had forn.erly accused Sir R. Peel of stealing the clothes of the whirrs while they were bathing, had cob red the grave of Sir Hobert Peel and now sppesred In that statesman's shroud._ _ _ _ The show of hands was then taken, and declared to he in favour of Mr. Vincent and Mr. Milner, upon which a poll was demanded on behalf of lie. Smyth, and fixed to com mence at $ a.m. tl.morrow. The vast amemblage then dispersed. BEVERLEY. The nomination of two members for the borough of Beverley took place yesterday (Tuesday) in the market place in that town. The proceedings having been opened with the usual for malities, Dr. SANDWITII proposed, amid loud cheers, the nomina tion of the Hon. F. C. Lawley, as a fit and proper repre sentative of the borough. Mr. Alderman BmultitTON seconded the nomination of Mr. Lawley. Mr. W. CaOBBKILL proiosed, and Mr. HoboNon' se conded the nomination of William Wells, Esq., of Holme wood, near Stilton, Huntingdonshire. Colonel llcrraN,in proposing Edward Auchmuty Glover, Esq., observed that though last in the field, he was confi dent that Mr. Glover was not least in the estimation of the &elms. The gallant colonel spoke of Mr. Glover as a gentleman who would support the religion and the institu tions of the country ; and while he would be found a care- NI guardian of the interests of his constituents, would prove himself to be • friend to the former, on a hose welfare the prosperity of the town depended. Mr. W. BAINTO3 seconded the nomination of Mr. E. A. Glover. The Ilon. F. C. LAWLEY then addressed the electors. Redrew their attention to the circumstance that the verdict which they gave that day would precede that of the ma jority of towns in England, and would, therefore, be re garded with no little degree of interest by the country. The question to be decided by the present election was one of extraordinary importance, and the electors of that borough, in recording their votes for either party, must remember that they were not pronouncing a verdict for themselves alone, but for the millions of their fellow-crea tures who was at present unrepresented ; and what was still dearer to them individually, their wisca and children. (Cheers.) Ile urged them, then fore, to give their best and USN serious consideration to the subject, and to discrimi nant, with all the powers God bad given them, between the real and the unreal professions of those who offered them eless as candidates for their suffrages, between tho down /fight mid unmitigated free trader and questionable free Wade, and between a sure, sincere, and constant friend and * Maned and ambiguous foe. (Loud applause.) He Willmilhes to remember that these Derbyites, who now =free trade with such apparent enthusiasm, were thee day the supporters of that system of protec tion to corn, which they considered essential to national prosperity—thet on the Treasury bench they had been suddenly converted to free trade; while when they occu pied the opposition benches, " protection" was their watch word and - their motto. (Chem.) Ile would not enter into a detail of the large benefits which the country had received from the introdtrtion of free trade. Thank God ! they were too well known, and too well felt, to need any explanation. (Loud cheering.) He need not allude to the fact that within the lost 10 years upwards of twelve mil lions of relief in the national taxation had been afforded to our population, without occasioning the slightest reduction in the amount of revenue. (Hear, hear.) Ile would not insult their intelligence by demonstrating the absurdity of • system of artificial scarcity, nor would he detain them by proving—from the recent returns of the Board of Trade, compiled they should remember, under a protectionist government—that the country had, in consequence of the Introduction of free trade, enjoyed unequalled prosperity. (Cheers.) No one with reason could deny that the nation was now in an unexampled state of prosperity, and he be lieved, therefore, that the reversal of a policy which had produced such favourable results was almost impossible, and that, if by any chance it were carried out, it would lead to a revolution in the country. (Hear, hear.) He was Mead, however, to acknowledge, in justice to his oppo nent/4 thit they had certainly, though perhaps rather sod- Suely—(laughter)—espoused them principles of fres trade which he (Mr. Lawley) stood there that day to advocate and to advance, and the question, therefore ' to be deter mined by the electors was red uc ed to the etesideration whether tbeywould trust gentian= wire spleen bad un dergone such a sudden and reatirkeble *sage, se these who had always distinguished themselves by the suggest of free. trade measures.

TAMWORTH. - ---- • • - - The election for this borough passed off very quietly yesterday, there being no opposition to Sir Robert Peel and Captain Townshend. The town, beyond the display aroma flags and bvancn, gave no indications of any popular de- Ineastration. The usual formalities basing been gone through, the MAYOR (W.

No ether candidate being proposed, Captain Townahend and Sir Robert Peel were declared duly elected. (Cheers.) Captain TOWNSHEND, in aeknowledgiug the honour saaarred upon him, alluded in no unfriendly terms to the late opposition got up against him, and spoke also in the highest terms of Sir Charles Clarke, who was announced as his opponeat. He (Captain Townihend) agreed with Sir tifoleawarth in his description of the character of Lord Derby, and as for his Chancellor of the Eichequer, he considered him entirely destitute of political principle— in feet, a political MIIWWOrIfI. (Cheers.) He cordially thanked them for the honour they had underfed upon him. (Cheers.) Sir HOBERT PEEL was received with loud cheers, and in the first place alluded to the peculiar position in which, as one of the principal echos in the scene before Inns, be was then placed. The hon. baronet proceeded to give a sketch of the last parliament, and to the revolutionary mania which during that period overswept the Continent of Europe, and defended the usurpation of Louis Napoleon in France, who, he contended, was elected by the voice of the people, and which he (Sir R. Peel) considered to be the voice of God. (Chute and disapprobation.) It re mained for the country to decide whether they wished for an advancing- or • reactionary policy. They could not remain stationery. (Cheers) Much," said the hon. baronet," had been said of the cheapness of the necessaries of life. To what we, that attribut ebbe ? Free trade. (Cheer.) By whom was that policy inaugurated in parliament.?? Hy my father." (Great cheering.) The hon. lamiuet concluded by eapressilig his devotion to the interests of the borough of Tainvrorth, and thin withdrew. A vote of thanks to the mayor was then carried, and the crowd dispersed. There appeared to be a general complaint among the electors of the absence of the usual ceremony of "chairing." Sir ltobert Peel, almost immttlietly utter the election, left Tsmworth for Drayton, awl the town resumed, in a few hours, its usual quiet. BRA DFORD. The nomination for the borough of Bradford took place at the Town-hall on Tutsday last. Eleven o'clock having been the hour appointed by the mayor, by that tine the large enclosure in ir.int of tho hall and the street beyond was crowded by a elegise body of people, who con ducted themselves with the Waited decorum throughout the whole proceedings, there even lasing but little of that badi nage and still leas of the boisterous uproar common to such occasions. Saxoar SIUTH. EA., the miyor, having read the copy of the writ and the at t against bribery, Mr. W. E. FOIT/Sli proposal Colonel Thompson, dwell ing chiefly on the counstency of the gallant colonel's sup port of the prlneicico of free trade and advocacy of re form. _ _ Mr. E. KENtoN seconded the nomination. Mr. 8. LISTER nominated Mr. Milligan, pointing out to the electors the great anxiety which that gentleman had always displayed to forward the interests of the bo rough and the assiduity with which he had discharged his duties as one of its representatives. The nomination of Mr. Milligan was seconded by Mr. . BALT. Mr. Wickham was then proposed by Mr. J. RAND, and seconded by Mr. C. RAMMER. Mr. Julian Harney, the chutist, was Mae proposed, in order togive him an opportunity of making a speech. The different candidates then addressed the electors, each of them declaring themselves unequivocobly in favour of free-trade. Colonel Thompson and Mr. Milligan expressed themselves in favour of a great extension of the suffrage, the former declaring himself prepared to go the length of "manhood" qualification; while the latter limited himself to the municipal franchise. Julian Harney then snide a Mug speech, arguing that free-trade was a fallacy except the means were given to the people to purchase the cheap loaf, which ho maintained they were unable to du, an asser tion which wu at once and spontaneously contradicted by the great mass of people present, who must have numbered 8,000 at the least. Ou a show of bands being called for, it seemed u if the hands of everyone present were held up for Colonel Thompson, there being nearly an equal number in favour of Mr. Milligan. About a third, supported Mr. Wickham, and nearly the same number in favour of Harney. The Mayor then declared that the election had fallen upon Colonel Thompson and Mr. Milligan, when • poll was de nvinded on the part of Mr. Wickham, which will take place this day (Wednesday), and the declaration is to be made on Thursday. ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE. The nomination took place yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, in front of the fown-hall. A crowd of a few hundred people only Mere present. JOHN METIALIM, Esq., mayor, preeided, as returning officer. Mr. Aust. liretwir nominated Charles Hindley, Esq., the late member; Mr. Gauitort lIHOINBOTHAM seconded the nomination. There being no opposing candidate nominated, the mayor declared Mr. elected amidst great cheering. Mr. lIINDLEY said ho was happy to be thus elected, without being a bone of contention and without opposition ; but he did not attribute the quiet which prevailed here to any want of interest in the general election which was now taking place in the country, and in the principle involved. It was not the lull of death, but the repose of confidence. It was not from apathy, either, that there was no coated; but it arose, he - hoped, from the determination he had manifested to discharge his duty to the country, re gardless as to all other consequences. It was matter of pride to him that this was the fifth time he had been elected their representative, and he sutured them the confidence they had reposed in him this day would be an additional stimulus to him to do jus tice in their cause. There was one thing gave him great eats fintion now and at other times—that Ashton had been true to the cause of liberty and progrenive reform. He wee glad this elielise was to be made the great battle field W fieslie the (monism of free trade, and he believed it would mai the doom of protection. (Cheep.)

WIGAN, TUESDAY.—The candidates claiming the suffrages of the electors of the borough of Wigan are their two former member—Lieut.-Col. Lindsay and R. W. Thickneme, Esq.—and F. 8. Powell, Esq., son of the it.,. Benjamin Powell, of this town. Col. Lindsay and Mr. Thickamee's parliamentary career show what they are to the electors. The former is looked upon as • Peelite, and the latter aa an out-and-out free trader. Of Mr. Powell there seems to be much doubt, he having no parliamentary antecedents to guide the electors, while his printed address is looked upon with some suspicion, as being at variance with the principles ascribed to him by his reputed organ, the IVigan Tuxes, which journal has been holding him up to the admiration of the electors for nearly the last two years ; indeed, from this circumstance, the contest now about to be decided may be said to have extended from that period. In his published address Mr. Powell declares himself a free trader and • friend of civil and religious liberty ; but these professions do not carry ninth weight from the fact of his being the man of the Orange party in the borough. However, his fancily, for some years pest, have bon strengthening their influence in the town, - and XL Powell's Asa* of being a winner from this sinnot stance is act contemptible. All parties, of coarse, are sure of amass • and as the time for settling the metier drew near, wherisininsou aorta wen made by each party to tasks amens, doubly um An VININICCOIIfiIIi attempt at a coalition was mail by Mr. Powell's party with the sup porters of Colonel Lindsey against Mr. Thiokneeiie, whom Mr. Powell mere particularly opposes. thaek was the position of sack party this morning, when their numerous friends and supporter mershellell under their different banners to meet and welcome their candi dates. Thera was nothing displayed by either party to caws any ill-feeling ; indeed, except the inscriptions in Mr. Thickness, s promesion, the banners were all plain; and these teats were of the most harmless character—such u ...Education, the handmaid of religion," "A fair field and no favour," "Cheap crud," encircling the painting of a large loaf, "Peas with all the world," "No starvation," "Thickness, the friend of free trade," ike. Having conducted the different candidates to their re spective committee-rooms, the procession, about eleven o'clock, proceeded to the Moot Hall, there to proceed with the business of the nomination. The usual preliminaries having been gone through, under e presidency of the Mayor, H. &kende'', E.g., it was moved and carried by acclamation, that so adjournment should take plus to the Colonnade, in front of the New Town Hall, their proent place of meeting being far too small for the secummodatikin of the electors and their friends. On reaching the Town Mall, the Mayor, with the candi dates and their immediate friends and supporters, comprising the leading tradesmen and others of the borough, stepped on to the Colonnade in front, and were loudly cheered by ■ large concourse of electors and non-electors congregated below. The Maxon having stated the object of the meeting, and claimed fur each speaker a quiet hearing and fair play, JOHN LORD, Esq., proposed, and Aldermen THOMAS ECKEHALEY, seconded the nomination of the Eight lion. Colonel Lindsay, as a ht and proper person to represent the borough of %lean in parliament. maim Amon, Esq., proposed, and Rents'. BEVAN, Esq., seconded the nomination of It. A. Thicknemi , E.g. Dr. LYTHAM proposed, and THOMAS WOODS, E. 1., seconded the nomination of F. S. Powell, Esq., in quiet and temperate speeches, describing the candidates as friends of progression, and opposed to the re-imposition of restrictive duties. Thu candidate; then addressed the audience in the order in which they had been proposed, Col. Lindsay repeating what has for the hut two months been end by these been. gentlemen who, either in or out of parliament, supported the tree trade measures of Sir It. Peel. The gallant eoionel mentioned incidentally that lee had been offered a subor dinate appointment (Master. General of the Ordnance we heard whispered) in the government by Lerd Derby, but declined. Mr. Thicknesse avowed his adherence to lilloSt principles advocated by the morn liberal portion of the op position. Mr. Powell we could not hear for more than a few sentences, owing to the interruptions he received, almost wholly u it seemed to us from the injudicious zeal of his own trends. We did pick up, however, that he wa- a free trader, and a friend of extended education. Ile would not only educate the young, but also the adult ; in short, refine the working classes. After the addresses had been delivered, the can.lidutin were severally questioned in a rather rigid man:.er. This over, the Mayor called for a show of hands, which lee declared to be in favour of Col. Lindsay and Mr. Ti:ick noise. A poll wu demanded in the usual form on behalf of Mr. Powell. The different processions then re-formed, and proceeded to their respective committee-rooms. Although mufti rs have gone off much better than was expected, there was just enough of excitement and confusion to arouse interest without caviling alarm. It is but justice to the Mayor to state that this happy rmult was in a great measure owing to the judicious manner in which he arranged and eon ductai the Mishima of the day. Grave doubts, however, are entertains for the quiet of to- morrow; an d i n d.,d, from what we saw of ,too materials today, we have no doubt that it would require but little to kindle a blaze to morrow. There is a prevailing impression that Mr. Thiebnes.:e will be at the head of the poll tomorrow, the friends of Mr. Pnw,ll and Col. Lindsay, from the failure of the attempt at coalition, being determined to plump for their own particular candidate, instead of supporting each other. WARWICK. The nomination was yesterday, the candidates being U. W. Itepton, Esq., formerly M.P. for St. Albans, a Derbyite; Mr. Edward (heaves, a hanker in the town (conservative); and Mr. Mellor, Q.C., of the Midland cir cuit, a liberal of the advanced school. Mr. JOHN STAUNTON, of Longbridge, a county magi:- trate, proposed, and the Hey. H. B. HARMS, master of the Earl of Leicester's Hospital, seconded, the nomination of 1111%11Trt".r.': IL C. WISE, Esq., of Woadcote•hall, nominated Mr. Greases, which nomination was seconded by FILANK WOOD wetly, Eq. JOON GOODALL. Esq., a county magistrate, proposed, and Mr. Alderman Exocu seconded, the nomination of Mr. Mellor. All the candidates briefly addreued the electors. The show of hands was largely in favour of Mr. Mellor ; between Mr. Repton and Mr. Groaves the difference was less perceptible; the former, however, had the majority, and the friends of the latter demanded a pull, whi:h take place to-day (Wednesday). Our reporter was informed in Warwick that Mr. Repton and Mr. (imam had coalesced, and that both had the influence of the Castle. PRESTON. We have four candidates in the field, viz., Sir George Strickland and Mr. C. I'. Grenfell, the members ; Mr. German, who rests his claims mainly upon his con nexion with the town and trade of l'reston ; end Mr. it. T. Parker, the champion of conservatism, but a convert to free trade. The nomination took place yeeterday (Tuesday), in the spacious open area of the Corn Exchange, many thousands of people being present. After the customary formalities, and the Mayor having asked tor a patient hearing for all parties, Mr. Hawattre (manufacturer) nominated Sir George Strickland, recommending the hon. baronet as a tried and faithful t, always stedfast in the cause of reform. Mr. J. LivesEv (editor of the Preston(uardian) seconded Sir ticerge's nomination. Sir George Strickland did not require any recommendation to secure him the admiration and support of this constituency ; his past career was his best nomination, his bygone sterling consistency, his unim peachable political integrity, and his liberal desire to serve the interests of the country at large, were the best passport to future admiration and future confidence. Mr. S. Mamie (manufacturer) proposed the rellection of Mr. °Teufel', who, as a merchant and a man of the strictest integrity and independence, was well qualified to represent a manufacturing and commercial town like that lof Preston. Mr. Miller appealed to the meeting not to allow Mr. Gren!ell to be sacrificed on account of his vote in favour of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, but to adhere with firmness to their protestant principles. Mr. GOODWIN (manufacturer) seconded the nomination of Mr. Greaten, reminding his hearers that that gentleman was a supporter of the same liberal measure as his late col it we Sir Geo. Strickland. W. C. It JACKSON (manufacturer) nominated Mr. Ruben T. Parker, a near neighbour, who was well known and reepccted--he was powered of large property in thi. eounty—he bad been already tried as the representative of Preston, and a better member never sat in the House of Commons. Mr. JOUN PALIT (manufacturer) briefly seconded Mr. Parker's nomination. . . Mr. Jonx CATTERALL (manufacturer) proposed Mr. German ' whose local services were enumerated and coop mendedto the notice of the assembly. Mr. G. CARTWRIGHT (optician) seconded the nomination of Mr. German.... . . No other candidate being proposed, Sir O. STRICKLAND addressed the useably. He congratulated them, not that they bad an apportunity of re turning so humble an individual u himself, but because by so doing they would obtain another triumph for free trade, and gain another signal victery for the great and universal principles of civil and religious liberty. Experience bad taught them that notwithstanding the prophecies which were made that free trade would be the rum of the courtly, they had discovered that it had brought to them extended employment, cheap and abundant food. It would, there fore, be trifling with their understandings if he were now to dwell upon those arguments which they had heard to , prove the fallacy of that strange position that, in order to ' give peotoritios to British industry, we must cause a scarcity of the bounties of Providence. For these reasons he should pass over many subjects of very interest ing political matter, and there was only one ques tion to which he would allude, and that was the all-important one of national education. Having long considered this subject in all its bearings he was firmly of opinion that it was totally impossible to separate education from religion. Therefore all those plans which had been brought forward for secular government education must fall to the ground. Mr. ORENFELL dilated upon the advantages of free trade, reminded the meeting of his connexion as a merchant with almost every town in Lancashire, and promised, if re elected, to devote his best attention to the promotion of the interests of the people of Preston. Mr. TOWNLEY PARKER offered himself to the suf frages of the electors of I'reston for the fourth time. Twice had he been defeated ; but his was was no inglorious de. feet as either occasion, and he was proud to say that tho =afforded to him at previous elections was again to him now. Mr. Parker declared himself opposed to the ballot and to universal suffrage, and intimated that although formerly a protectionist, he was now an houest sad_ lumen convert to free trade. -- Mr. GELMAN was the last speaker. Ile said he was willing to vote for household suffrage, for the ballot, for an fatprovernat is the management of our colonies, fur a re dact:ice of upeaditure in our navy and military armaments, and for relieving the people of the tyranny of the Militia Bill. He concluded by inviting the electors to rally round him, and vote in favour of local representation, liberal prin ciples, and political independence. The show of hands then taken was declared to be in favour of Sir George Strickland and Mr. German (the latter having the great majority, and Mr. Orenfell fewest of all). A poll was demanded on behalf of the other can didates, and deed to commence at eight o'clock this (Wed nesday) morning. SHREWSBURY. TtIEgDAY EVENING.—This borough is destined to be the scene of a close contest. The candidates are Mr. Malawi', on. of the late members, who is a high tory; and Mr. George Tomlin., a free trader and moderate liberal, who formerly sat for the borough, but was ousted by a very small majority last general election ; and Mr. Augustin Robinson, who only arrived here on Friday last, but has already won many friends by his swan of the ballot end extreme liberal measures. Mr. TOIIIIiOC and Mr. itobinsun are evidently the men of the people, but the powerful use of the tury in !Mimes on tradesmen and others will render Mr. Robinson's return a matter, though not beyond hope, yet of greet and acknowledged difficulty. A little before ten o'clock this morning the several eandi. dates, preceded by beads, proceeded to the place of nomi nation, where the Mayor ()t. Bishton Minor, Esq.) went through the usual formalities, end called on the electors to proceed with the business of the day. W. H. Batmen, Esq., haunter, also a banker and a town councillor of the borough of Shrewsbury, roes to propose one of their former members, R. R. llaldork, Esq., 1121114.1 the meet deafening uproar from the immense crow d assembled in a large grass field immediately under the platform, and who continually raised is large pole bearing an immense loaf with free trade laterite, d on it, and a very small one on the top marked " protection." Mr. Brunie said we naturally turn our thoughts to the persons who have represented us before. No man was a Unix friend of the workiteg classes than Mr. lialduck. (Shouts of "Ob, oh," "Hold him up," "'turn him out.") They wanted cheap beer as well as cheap bread. The question was between two go- vernments—which would they support They did riot want a gurernment composed of one family, but sue com posed of honest men. (Here a man who carried a cat-o% nine tails, raised it, and imitating the action of a drummer, flourished the cat, and for some time flogio it the little loaf which was held up by another of the (rowel.) No Shrewsbury men had any need to tear the cat. Questions were about to be brought forward of greater impel-Once than had been debated for ninny years past. Ohre the confusion was such that the teamed gentleman became again inaudible, and abruptly concluded by propusieg lid ward Holmes Bala& Esq., as a fit and proper pursuit to represent the borough et Shrewsbury in par reineut.) Mr. KEATE, surgeon, seconded the nomination. and said that, however parties might differ from one another, they must agree that Mr. Bullock was a man who honestly ful filled all the promises he ever made, and alwas s acted cuu eistently, both on the grant to Mit)ricatb and . other guts :inns. ee the confusion which prevailed rendered it im poss:blee to catch more than Deet the epeeist r alluded to the great experiment of free trade and to the conduct of certain Roman catholic bishops.) Mr. Balduek will be ever ready to maintain his principle.. Mr. W. J. CLEMENT said the gentleman whom he was about to propose was an old, wall-tried, and laithtul public 'eruct, and the town of Shrewsbury had made a great mistake in rejecting loins at the last election. ile proposed Mr. Towline—(hear, hear)—a geatlernau who would do honour to any constitueuey. (Prolonged cheering ) Mr. C. M. CANYUKU, Es 1., banker, said he had great pleasure in sending the LOMIUMI6I/ of Mr. George Tout line, because he was a man of the same moderate opinions as himself, because he could assure his brother electors that in returning him, as he was sure they would do, they would secure a man who would give weight to their opinions in the councils of the nation. Many a poor family in the town has experieuced the benefit of his aid. No one ever was a better friend or ever lived who cared more [or the welfare of the humbler claws. (Great cheering.) Mr. Pluieoex, surgeon, then rose, end said he had no he sitation in proposing Augustin Robinson, Esq , as a tit and proper person to represent tho borough. They had heard it said by the gentleman who seconded Mr. Towline, that Mr. Robinson's loaf was rather "too Drown," and that they ought to put on the drag. Now, that was just the policy of the Derby administration. if they, the people, wished to support a man of the people, they could never have a better opportunity of doing it than the present. They had liceu told that they wanted more beer, but he would ask them, it a man ho.! nut money to buy bread how he could &furl to buy beer. lie could assure them that Mr. It ihinson was a man of the highest respectability and sin cere p kty, and it all who had premised to support him came early to the poll, he had no doubt before that your on the follow ing morning he would be returned. Mr. WOOMIALL seconded the nomination of Mr. Ro bins-n. Ile depended, he said, for his profits on au:cul tural prosperity, andeould ray trade never was so good. The agriculturists came to his establishment ; they lay down their sivereiges freely, and get an amount sf eoads for one which would formerly have cost two. Towline was a good man, but Robinson a better ; be there be cum binatiuu between the friends of both. Tim hankers can't stop the count, of free trade—mind that. Mr. E. ILIIALDOCK then came furward,Umid a Ater-mot hinges and groans and cries of " We can't return you." Tho interruption continuing, Mr. bedded& was compelled to speak a sentence as he could. Ile had been a consistent , supporter of the principles which he professed. Ile r. lied ore his past political conduct as a sufficient guarantee fur his future career in parliameut. lie was a fiend cf the work ing classes, " and would willingly do ail in his power to pro mote their welfare, but he thought gisiug them free trade was not the right end tobegin at.

Many changes bad taken place since he last addressed them, but no change had come over his opinions. There was no progress to which they objected so much as that of the tax gatherer. He apprehended that the proper mode of limiting the progress of the tax gatherer was by exerting prudent economy, and by an honest care fulness in disposing of the public money. Ile hoped the would give him an early vote at the poll. (Loud cheering. Mr. AUGUSTIN ROBINSON said that, from what ha lime told hint by his agents, as well ass what he had eini self experienced, he had to thank them for the very favourable reception he had met with. He attributed it to the principles he professed. Free trade still remained to be carried out. Permanent free trade was now the thing to be looked to, together with reduction of taxation. Ile seas an advocate for vote by ballot. Mr. Itubiuson concluded amidst loud cheers. Thc MAYOR declared the bow of hands to be in favo.r of Mr. Robinson first, and neat in favour of Mr. Tamline. A poll was then demanded by Mr. Saddle for Mr. 1.14- dock ; and, after a vote of thanks to the mayor was pro posed by . Mr. Baldock and seconded by Mr. Towline, the meet i ng adjourned. The poll to commence at ten o'clocx to-morrow. The contest will be a very close ono, and is expected to be between Mr. Baldock and Mr. Robinson. WINDSOR. Yesterday morning, at eleven, the nomination for the election of two members to servo for this borough took place in the market-place, beneath the Town-hall ; and long before the proceedings commenced, the place was densely crowded with as noisy, but at the same time as good-tem pered, a set of partisans as ever met. In Eta, to such a pitch did vial fur their respective friends carry, them, that the cheers, groans, and jokes they indulged in completely drowned the voices of all the speakers—to much so, that those who stood close beneath them could only cats:ll a few disjointed sentences. The statutory provisions having been read by the Town clerk, and the Mayor haring stated the business for which they were met, Mr. JOHN CLODS, amidst great cheering, proposed, and Mr. EIENET DLEVILL seconded the nomination of Mr. Greenfell to servo in the ensuing parliament, and both stated that they had no doubt bat that he would to-morrow be placed at the head of the poll, judging, as they did, from the result of his recent election. _ _ Lord Charles Wellesley was then, amid.d the most deaf ening yells from one party and cheers from the other, pro posed and seconded by two gentlemen, whose names wo understood to be —Pearl and Jeffl7, Emirs. Mr. HARRIS proposed, and Mr. EVIILYN seconded, Mr. Ricardo. _ _ _ WILLTAII MOSS proposed a fourth candidate in the person of Captain B. Bulkeley, who, as a liberal and resident in the town, was best suited to forward the In terests of the borough, and represent the views of the elector,. _ . . . Mr. JORN ',LornaNen, in seconding the nomination, alluded to the exertions made by Captain Bulkelev in getting the great agricultural show held at Windsor—a circumstance alone sufficient to prove him si stanch friend to tho interests of the borough. Mr. OItENFELL, amidst great cheering, briefly re turned thanks for the honour that had been done him, and hoped the electors would renew the confidence that they had already placed in him. Ile should not trouble them with any reiteration of his views. There could be no mis take about his principles upon free trade. He thought his acts were enough to speak for him. Lord CHARLES WELLESLEY then came forward, and his appearance was the signal for an outburst with re doubled force of the noise that greeted those who proposed and seconded him. After some prefatory remarks he went on to defend the policy of the Maynooth grant, which was made in a true spirit of amity. Since then the recent con duct of certain members of the Roman catholic clergy had rendered it necessary that a full and most searching in quiry should be made to ascertain if possible whether the recent aggression had in any way arisen out of the grant. That hag been made. He was favourable to g ivernment grants to religious bodies for educational pur poses. He had, from the first, supported the abolition of the corn laws, and should always vote in favour of any measure of improvement and reduction of taxation, and ho wished to be clearly understood he was not a government agent. Mr. RICARDO trusted that with his colleague, Mr. ()mote% he should be returned. He was for free trade in everything, and warned the electors of being cajoled into returning a Derby candidate; his views were that no inter ference should take place in the employment of capital, and, in conclusion, ho trusted that the electors would, by his return, in conjunction with Mr. Orenfell, at once show that Windsor was no longer a nomination borough. Captain BULKELEY briefly said that as a townsman he had been solicited to stand upon the liberal interest. Ho should go to the poll, but unfettered by party pledges. His principles were to vote for measures, and not for men. A show of hands was then taken, and the choice declared to have fallen upon Mr. Orenfell and Lerd Wellesley. The announcement created much uproar, there being great doubts whether the number held up for Mr. Ricardo did not exceed those for Mr. Orenfell. The mayor refused to again put it to the assemblage, and a poll having been demanded the proceedings terminated. 1 ad 1f Ow as
