..t r d by Sir Charles Montalles Lamb, and seconded by Mr. John Ellasan. lir. John George Dodson, son of Sce jeha Mabee, jas.pre of the Ecclesiastical Court, was pro posed by Mr. It. W. !Moscow, as a free-trade sad progress pee candidate, and Colonel Doris seconded the nomination. Me FULLER addressed the electors. Ile was suffering bow an alfectwn of the throat, and his speech was short. As protection was now quite out of favour, let us, he said, depend oa Lord Derby, who would do justice to the farmers, justice to the labourers, and justice to all. Ho wished to ere the working man enjoying the big loaf, but he wanted tr we that loaf made of F.nglish floor. Ile wanted also to me the labs - ver with some good wholesome beer to drink wit': it, awl, therefore. he had advocated the repeal of both Malt and hop tax. With regard to Maynooth he had voted opunst the grant, and, through thick sad thin, be would vote for its repeal. In conclusion Mr. Fuller said if we were to have free trade, let LIS hire it in everything. Mr. FIiEWEN wee. met with shouts, groans, and hisses. lie attempted several times to speak, but unsuccessfully. ow. word he craved from the shooters. They were stetaing inn bvaling sun, and no doubt felt • mist op pressive ,at. and would like to have soracthing to quench tbeir third. He would then just stale that he agreed with what was said by Sir Juhu Tyrell on the County Voters' getreslunent Bill, that he had a great objection to a dry thaloll In hot weather. (Laughter.) Having thus secured the ear of hi. midis nee, Mr. "'rearm briefly continued his idiom. lye was greeted at the outset by a cry of " lion at wt protection ?" He replied, "If we were to have tree trite, let as have a clear stage and 'no favour." Was it a matter of justice that the farmers should be undersold by the forei fret white the Manchester manufacturer. were rotated against the imp 'nation of cotton and silk goods hoe o kra.,'! ? Ile certainly did at Mayfield IDA week co r,,- opi.i.k most decidedly in (moor of protection ; wi t on the question being put to him, .• Will you bring it toward in the House of l'ommons ?" he stated that if so otlor man of greater ability would bring it forward he (11. ar, hear.) Ile would lie exceedingly sorry that' • importaut a question should he injured from In, inability to do it justice ; and at Cuckfield, on Friday last. he Ty po ded that he would be very sorry that the question sboWa .utf. r fa his want of ability, and then retracted what he said at Mayfield, pledging himself to bring It forward. c.• Oh, oh.") But he would du his best to pi a anther of mire ability than himself to bring that question forward, and he would certainly give it hi. cordial sulyort. Ile way not going to change his opinion. (Loud but:liter.) lie had been asked what free trade had done; and he replied that at the east end of the county of Sussex it had thrown hundred. and thousands of acres on the hurls of the tproprietors. Was this condition of agrieul. tare to continue ? Vaster Lord John government it would. Under Lord Derby redress would be afforded. "How abort Maynooth ") It. was dead against May south. (•. Mt, oh.") If it were not for Maynuoth Ireland would now bare been a protestant country. (laughter.) Me. Frew, n expressed his confidence its being returned to parlianten.. :and stated that be should retain his seat till a rod eon...restive candidate came forward to supply his ',lace, which he would at once resign. mr.O011:sON next presented himself, and was listened to attentively. He had the sympathy of the corona. Ile had listened, he said, in rain, fsr any declaration of princi pl. s from the two old e indol itcs —with one exception. Mr. V rewen asuwed himself at Maylit Id last work very strongly and ,r a pi ta tirelly in favour 01 one principle, and he pledged him- If to brie, forward a measure for putting • duty on corn. (.. Oh, uh.") That one fixed prinein,e he had this day re tantsd and modified. (hear.) He * would not emit ;nto argument. a, to whether free trade had been beneficial or not. Ask the millions who lived by their labor, and had large families to feed? (Hear, hear.) It had, in tact. been attended with so many blessing. that it would neater be reversed. FM • short period agitation on Ow. subject might be kept up to serve the purpose of a poli tied pun. but any real attempt to impo c • duty on foreign corn was out of the question. It would produce such a hunt of indignation throughout the country as asaht Ind miter the throne of our Sovereign. Ile wished to sec tree trade carried out still further. (. So do we.") As he had said, the restoration of protection was impos sible ; and he thought that borne out by the fact, that we now scarcely found a protectionist statesman through tut the country. They had all but dropped the' , name, and now came forward as Derbvites. Though, ask what a Derhyite is, and a 4 the leader what his policy is, and ask his followers what were their rfiticiplr., and they could give no answer. (Ileac) If there was such a thing lobe found in the country still as a genuine thorough-going protectionist, one who declared that he wished to see • tax imposed on bread, and that he could consistently advocate it, it would be a pity that such a et ntleman should obtain • seat in parliament, for he se•old find himself alone in the gallery. (Laughter.) The show of hands was in favour of Mr. Dodson and Mr. Fuller. A pill was thereupon demanded on behalf of Mr. Frewen, and the high sheriff adjourned the further pro cer ding. till Thursday. 'the poll will continue through Thursday and Friday, and finally close at 4 o'clock on the last named day. EAST NORFOLK. Yeaterday (Monday) the nomination and election for the eastern division of Norfo:k took place at the Shire Hall, which wan filled by a considerable number of agricul turists and a large number of the citizens of Norwich. Up to the hour of nomination an opposition was expected, and a number of gentlemen were named as likely to be brought forward in the liberal interest. Among others named were Mr. William Windham. Sir E. I'. Boileau, the lion. E. K. Coke, Mr. Gordon, and Mr. Joddrell. From some unex plained cause, no opposition was attempted, and the former members were retained. Mr. 6. iii..ll,:ii;;;;ominated, and Captain BLAXISTON seconded Mr. M. Wodehouse, as a fit and proper person to repryseut the eastern division of Norfolk in parliament. Mr. F. CATER nominated, the Hon. W. R. Rots W. EDlded, and Captain STRACET supported Mr. H. N. Diu , roughes. The HIGH Simairr (Mr. F. W. Troy) then put the gisidien, whether any elector had any other candidate to propose. and no answer being returned, he declared Mr. I. Wohhonee and Mr. N. ilurroughes duly elected. Mr. WOIIEHOUSE said—My determination is to pursue the same course in parliament that is now about to be aosnibleil, that I have pursued for the last thirty-fire years of my lite. There are other matters wnich I might men tion. hut I hive no right to intrude nn tour patience. I am much obliged to you for the kind att , ,rition with which you have listened to me. (Cheers.) Mr. 11. N. BURROUGHES said—Gentlemen, I ad mit that I held a strong opinion in 1846 ad verse to the policy which was then adopted by the late Sir R. Peel. I hold that strong opinion still—(cheers and groans)—hut sines that policy has been adopted I have never had an expectatioo myself, nor have I led any one in pshhe or in private to indulge in the expectauon that that policy would be reversed. Gentlemen, if a re-ad justment of the burden of tanstion can be effected so as to relieve a suffering claw, I am satisfied that Lord Derby will low no means to make it. (Much noise and interruption.) Lord lkrhy gave a strong proof of his integrity when he *lured himself from the cabinet of the late Sir Robert Feel, saerticing, ea I wel know, private friendship ea well as pilitical connexion. Gentlemen, I believe that the go vernment of Lord Derby intends to maintain in all their integrity the protestant institutions of the country, from which blessings to the peo-ile mainly flow. I have lived too keg to place, politically speaking, unhesitating confidence in any ma n . My desire is to give a_general support to the government of Lord Derby. (Cheers, groans, and clamour, which prevented the honourable gentleman from briar heard for some minutes.) Gentlemen, if I did sot think this my best course, prizing ma I do the value of your support, and proud as I am of being your Tennant& L..- in parliament, I would not at my time of life under ta.se the arduous duties of a member of the House of Com mons. or relinquish those duties which I consider to be paramount, the duties of domestic life. Gentlemen, with these sentiments I think I have said aufleient, aneCl will detain you no longer. lam obliged to you for the honour you bas e d one me in returning me, and the tolerable pa tience with which you have heard me. (Cheers.) Three cheers w ere th en given for the newly elected members, and for free trade. , ti 7 i4ihanks haring been p...d to the High nberiff, the prt,cetchngs terminated. SOUTH ESSEX. - - - ----- Yesterday the nomination of candidates for the mother's division of the county of Ewe took place et Chelmsford. The prospect of a contest between Sir E. N. Batton, who, it will be recollected, was returned by a very narrow majority in 1847, and Sir W. B. Smijth, who, ow that occasion, sustained a defeat, imparted considerable animation and interest to the proceedings. Mr. OPTTON (the ex-governor of the Bank of England), rill. 0 on them to return two good men and tree for their division of the county, who would yield an earnest sup p•rt to Lord Derby's government, and to place their friend Mr. Eramston in that position on the poll to which his lonv.tried services and merits entitle him. Mr T. rate_ seconded the nomination of Mr. Bramaton. Mr lAN late member for Miklos, had great pleasure in proposing Sir E. N. Buxton. If they wished to promote the interests of the agriculturists, let them elect Sir E. N. Bunton, who would support a true and practical measure of relief—the repeal of the malt tax. Mr. IV I'.. , TRUN seconded the nomination. sir J. T Trae.LL proposed Sir W. B. Smijth, who he hoped would he returned in conjunction with their old and teed friend Mr. Brainston, to support the interests sad advocate the rights of agriculture in the House of Com mons. BRA MSTON, in again appearing before the electors to ...licit the honor of being returned u their representative in parliament, said he had only to refer them to the course h• had pursued during a public career of nearly seventeen Psi , . so the hen pledge of his readiness to serve them, and hie integrity of intention. There wu one public quettioa of engrossing iatrmt, on which they would, as doubt, he anxious to know the course he should talt ,. , hp meant that of relief to agriculture. They had IPM. for the first time for several years pant a govern• mint friendly to their interests, and disposed to give fair ploy to all whose fortunes were bound up in the land. It mieht he doubtful whether the political circumstances of the litoeh on which they wen about to eater would be such aa *) enable Lord Derby's administration to carry out such measures of relief as he himself, in common with the great men of their supporters throughout the country, would de• to see roomed ; but there could be no doubt as to their ...Minns. The government were their friends, and would do what they could ; more than that they could not ask. (Bear. hear.) There was another political question, which was looked to with feelings of deep interest and anxiety by a trite elan of highly respectable members of the community— _.;.rntant that of th e M aynoot h grant. H aving voted for F measure of 1445, proposed by Bar H. Peel's government, 0, must say he wan not prepared so far to stultify the legis lanes decision then eases to as to mite ter the satire repeal of the rani. Bet he saw se reasonable ground for resisting the dhoti that was made fee Mira n" into the warm of tensile aillolllllll in the institution, and he should be pee -1 pered s mppeet sase treepeeition for inquiry, and to insist that tari be Birk, fully, and satisfactorily oft , deeled.ga ablebi leave his cause in the heads of the @lee toes, maiden, as to the result. Sir 8.11. BUXTON maid tie present government came in by pserahing heightikepretection, but they would stayie. if they did me to, may by deserting protection. ilia hen. oppement bed kiddies in his election address that it was generally supposed that protection was dead, and whe ther it was for the benefit of the agriculturists or riot, there was not a farmer in that great county, nor a single labourer on their farms, who was not morally certain that the question of protection was settled for ever. (Great cheering and uproar.) That being so, was it not reasonable that the great liberal party in that county, bordering as it did on London, containing a vast I amount Of pervona whose opicions were in favour of a pro gressive, economical, and liberal government, should at :east have ono representative I Ile for his part, whatever I others might do. came before them boldly, and paid that he I would never vote for a re-imposition of the duty on corn. lle was favourable to the removal of the malt-tax, though he thought the repeal of half the duty would be • more prac tical proposal, and more likely to lead to the removal of the whole duty than a proposal for its Immediate anal total ols htion. He was in favour also of an extension 'of the auffiage. Whiltt in parliament be had sup ported varioua propositions for church reform, and amongst utheis that of Mr. Borman. It seemed to him that of all reforms none were more wanted than those of the chureh. I We lived in difficult times; our aimy was in presence of the enemy, and he thought they should he prepared to go inty action. It seemed to him that all the superfluities of the church shou.d he cut down, and that it should be made as efficient as possible. The honourable baronet, in couch'- ' %ion, reminded the electors that it dep. nded on themselves, by returning him, to eupport those principles which they Inhered to be for the happiness of the country. (('heers.) Sir W. 11. SMIJTII sold when he last presented himself to ask their suffrages they sere token by surprise, and were encountered by a lasish expenditure of money, but in the lace of all these difficulties he was defeated only by the nar row majority of 37. Nao they were consolidated and com bined, and he inittht soy their triumph was asmrell. Ile had Men before them for many years; they knew hie *pi siting as well as he did himself; and he had nothing to retract or explain. Circumstances hail changed; they had now a conservative government an office, which should have his firm and independent support. Progressive changes were only steps to a democratic republic, anal let them remember that by returning the honourable baronet on the other side, they would be advent inz tow ads that consummation. I l'i,tection was wanted for others than agriculturists; they wanted protsetion for the constitution, the church, prAistantism, the religious and moral education of j the people. On these principles he grounded his el dais to I their sulfrages, acid left it to the electors to say whether they would give him their support. (Cheers.) A show of hands was then tueen, which the !Ugh Sheriff declared to be in favour of Sir E. N. Buxton (for whom the great maj wily were held up) and Mr. Brantston. A I poll baying been demanded by Sir John Tyrell on behalf of Sir W. B. Smijth, it was fixed for Thursday next. NORTH WARW ICKSIII RE. The nomination of candidates for the northern division of this county took place yestenlay, at Coleshill, • village about a dozen miles from Birmingham, on the old %Veiling-street road to Liverpool. Sir G. Cu F.T proposed C. N. Newdegate, Esq. lo bad discharged his duty as their late representative with unblemished honour and integrity, and he (Sir O.) would say that his hon. friend might challenge any man to accuse him of any one aet of his life of which he need to be ashamed. (Groans., It was unnecessary for him to say more. Mr. Newdegate's opinions and his were well known to them. ile (sir 0. C.) entertained no fears or appre hensions as to what the result of the contest would be. . . At this period an immense concourse of persons entered the Market-square, and commenced, after some uproar, suedes upon the parties wearing the orange—(Spooner and Nevidegate)—colours. It cannot, however, ho fairly said that violence or outrage was confined to our side, for it was clear from apperances that " roughs" as they were termed, were employed both in favour and against protection. The last importation of these gen try, and which put those of Messrs. Newdegate and Spooner in a met decided minority, was said to have come from Coventry and Nuneaton, and were considered the genuine di scendants of the old " Jeffery and Barlow" mob. The riot (for at one period it was nothing less) assumed a most alarming aspect. A dozen tights were going on at the same time—the rush of the crowd was terrific—and a carpenter's bench in the front of the hustings, which had been placed (or the accommodation of the reporters (and upon which some gentlemen were seated or standing), was literally smashed to atoms. It was with difficulty the reporters made their es cape out of the crowd, and succeeded in obtaining admission into the Market-house. J•ver TAVLOII, Esq., of Moseley Hall, seconded the nomination. Lord Joffe Score, on presenting himself to propose Mr. Spooner, was greeted in a manner similar to the preceding speakers. Not a word could be heard even by those who stood neat to his lordship. He therefore contented himself, having proposed Mr. Spooner, with silence, as also did Sit WILLIAM HAMTOPP, who seconded the nomination. Sir RODIRT Peet, who was loudly cheered by his friends, nominated the Hon. Keppel C as a fit and proper person to represent the division. Sir Robert was equally inaudihle, as was also Mr. PARSONS, a tenant farmer, who seconded the election of Mr. Craven. E. KENDALL, Req., proposed and BARON WZRSTER, Esq., seconded the election of Sir T. 0. Skipwith. The riot and confusion which continued prevented the Sheriff being heard when he asked whether any other can didate was to he proposed. Not being proposed, Mr. NEWDEGATE presented himself, but was unable to obtain a hearing beyond the two gentlemen on either side of him. The fighting between the opposing " roughs" was constantly continued in all parts of the immense assem bly, and one or two farmers are said to have been seriously injured. We understood Mr. Newdegate to say that he had already, in his address to the electors, ca ptained his political views. (Loud groans.) He believed that Lord Derby would not bring forward any measures which public 'opinion would not sanction. (" Oh, oh," and great uproar.) He (Mr. Newdegate) would uphold the principles of civil and religious liberty—would oppose the 'egressions of the Roman catholic", and seek to remove those burdens which pressed heavily upon the industry of the country. (Groans and booting.) He saw that their adversaries were determined not to allow him and his friends a bur hearing, and he therefore would not trouble them further. lie only hoped that the electors would not allow the county to be represented by mere political cyphers, bat by men who would act fearlessly upon the principles they avowed. (The tumult throughout was unabated.) Mr. SPOON ER, aware that the assembly would not, or that his friends could not hear him, simply said—One word and I have done. I have served you to the best of my abi lity, and, if returned le pediment, I will endeavour to do so again. If, however, pea art Mad another member who will serve you mere lesseally or more ilthfully—who will devote more time to whet he esesiden to be your interests, you will he endiled in alsellmg Nor. With these observations, seeing da temper stair opponents, I leave you. (Groans salfsheers.) The Hoe. F. L. CRAVEN wee received with both cheers and diseppoistioe, the brew preetwalastias. As far as we emit isameolool the boa guidon= be amid : If they sent him is pouliament, bis beet earls shield be given to premeds the bust interests of the esemley, and of that musty in particular. If they returned Mos he would give leteas pledge, parliament for he did a ft grove of afilsi rassoble of s every sjusidem ple ; end that pledge would be to ta pe melt the re-impeillon of the corn laws and the reversal of the system of free trade. (Cheers.) At the same time be would peseally give his support to any liberal (oversaw& that mtglt am, into power. His impronilisn was that insalsedable hese& had arisen to the wedgies cisme hen the repeal of the corn laws. Those poem who, whoa the torn laws were in ezistenoe, seeld meefildn the neessearfes of life, were now living in ore sod us It. He should therefore oppose her Majesty's because they had declared that they bad protection. (During the delivery of this wash lbw were repeated fights.) Sir T. G. BKIPWITH spoke to his bisulfate supporters. No one a yard from him could hear a word he said. He stated that his principles were the same as those avowed by the previous speaker, and in accordance with these of the late government. The HIGH Sundry then called for a show of hands— the names of the candidates being printed on boards—when the Sheriff declared it to be in favour of Mr. Craven and Bir T. O. ithipwith. We should think the proportion was five or sin to one, the majority was immensely in favour of the liberal candidate. A poll was demanded on behalf of Messrs. Newdegate and Spooner, which takes place cm Thursday and Friday next. NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE. Td mesaination far dm northern division of this meaty Ink pima Failerley at Stafford, and terminated in ibis mon ma d die old members. There had been MOW tea end*. forward Mr. Buller, of Dit hers* Hal, het tie *MIPS of mu. • pear to hays been wanting; sad Lewd Amen% desertion of the lib.• rale has a geed dal that party in the division. His lordship placed limegif eeneadeuously amongst the tory party in the Shire Hall le-day, and wee indeed almost the only person of importance ranking amongst the liberal in terest who was present in the hall. The lion. and Rev. A. C. TALUOT nominated Mr. Ad derley. He expressed his *pinion that the time of protec tion had gone by ; that the law must remain as it is. A revisioe of taxation might be necessary but but it was too late to think or taxing the food of the people. (Cheers.) With reference to the Maynooth grant, on the subject of which Mr. Adderley had touched in his addresi, he expressed an opinion that no government could properly or with safety any longer continue that grant. mix Ceuen, Req. seconded the nomination. Child in 11 nomina , ti Esq., of Diddulph, pl ace d M r . S m ith on. R. B. Lsearr, Eq , seconded the nomination. No other candidates having been proposed. The HIGH-Busairr declared Mr. Adderley and Mr. Child duly elected. Mr. ADDERLBY, who was warmly received, said he had been absent Bean his post night or day during the eleven years be had been in their service ; he had neither sought nor received favour of any kind, either for himself or for any personal friend, and in any small patronage that fell to the county members, ho ba d invariably handed it over to the eoastiteimay which did him the honour to re turn him to parliament. (Hear.) For hie political opinions, he had only to say, that he had in no way changed them eines they first returned him to parliament. It had been said that they—the followers of Lord Derby—had changed their opinions; that they had advocated a orrtaiu policy out of office, which they were not prepared in nines to carry into practice, but had, in fact, sought to kick down the ladder by which they came into power. (Hear, hear.) Nothing was farther from the truth, and the last man in the world who should launch such charges against Lord Derby's friends was Sir James Graham, inas much as that right hon. baronet was one if those who by his distinguished talents and hi. eloquence formed that great party of which Sir Robert Peel was at the bead 12 years ago ; it was Sir James Graham who aided in building up that party which he had since deserted and now daily tra duced. I see (mid the hon. gentleman) that there are some here who prefer Lord John Ittusell--a Ran who pro• mises much, and performs little ; those who like Lord Derby, like a man who performs what he premiere ; who is the leader of the band who support the old conservative policy, and I hope he will carry it out successfully. (Hear.) Ile is not like Lord John Russell, who brings forward little !Desserts, like the little Reform Bill, to support his falling administration. Lord Darby will not truckle to the Pope one day and kick him the neat, but be will maintain con iistently the policy of the conservative party. (Cheers.) lie will do that in office which will best conduce to the support and the maintenance of the pevee, the welfare, and the prosperity of the empire. (Cheers.) Mr. CHILI) also returned thanks. Ho referred to his past conduct as a pledge for the future ; ho had offered, he esid, no factious opposition to the late administration ; he was nut • blind adherent to Lord Derby and his govern ment, but he believed the government of that noble lord was based upon principles sound and just—such as would conduce to the promotion of the true interest of the coun try. (" Rear," mingled with hisses.) The thanks of the elector. woe then mended to Mr. Wise, the high Sheriff and newly.elreteil liberal M.P. for the borough, after which the newly-elected knights, not girt with swords, took their seats in a carriage drawn by tour horses, and followed by an immense crowd to their huts, on their way thither scattering handsful of silver, for which the people scrambled good humouredly. THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 13. 1852 WEST WORCESTERSHIRE. Yesterday (Monday) the election for the western division of the county of Worcester took plat* at Wor• aster. There wos no opposition to the reelection of the old members, General Lygon and Ur. Knight, both protec tionists. The lion. W. Covnirrav proposed the Hon. General Henry Beauchamp Lygou as a lit and proper person to re present the western dividon in parliament, and remarked upon the faithful services of the general for the thirty-five years daring which he sat in parliament for the county. J. E. Dowusawri.t, Esq., of Pull-court, near Tewkes bury, seconded the nomination. Mr. J. it. COOKE*, of Ashby, proposed, and Mr. J. G. WATKINS, of Gowenley (late High Sheriff), seconded Mr. Frederick Winn Knight as the “ther member. No other candidate being proposed, General Lygon and Mr. Knight were declared elected, amidst the plaudits of the freeholders. The Hun. Gen. H. B. LYGON then addressed the free holders, and after alluding to the kindness of his reception, said it was a difficult thing in these times for a member of parliamentto please himself, and a much more difficult thing fur him to please his constituents—(a laugh)—but if be had had the good fortune to merit their approval heretofore, he should follow the same course hereafter. (Cheers.) He had no occasion to regret the course which he had taken in 1812 and 1810. (Cheers.) Gentlemen might talk of the policy of the present day being that of Mr. Huskisson ; but Mr. Iluakis‘on's policy was based on reciprocity, but reciprocity between two parties on equal tetras they did not fear, when it would he for the benefit of the English producer. We should endeavour to put all classes on an equality, and to endeavour to remove all un just and unequal burthens. Mr. KNIGHT said this was the third time that he bad had the honour of addressing them upon alike occasion to the present, he having been three times returned by them to serve their interests in parliament. He came for ' ward on the first occasion, in consequence of • numerously signed requisition, to support the conservative policy of England, and he had voted steadily in the House of Com mons upon those principles. It was • great pleasure to him to find that, while following that course, he had given so much satisfaction to his constituents as to be returned again without opposition. Ile perceived by the papers that Lord Derby was gaining ground rapidly. (Cheers and groans.) lie bad gained twenty-three seats in the bo roughs, which would count forty-six on a division —(cheers)--and all the county elections were yet to come. Although the government had been laughed at for their supposed inexperience, Lord Derby had brought forward eighty-eight hills in the lot short fres sion, and had loused them all. There had been no " mas sacre of the innocents." The government had proposed to give scuts fur boroughs notoriously venal to • large county and constituency in the north of England. This allowed their desire for reasonable representative reform, but the other side had opposed it. Lord Derby had also given them Chancery reform, which had been much wanted, so he could himself testify, for he had been in Chancery most of his life, and be confessed he did not like it. They were also pro mised reform in the common law. [A voice : We want cheap bread. Another voice : You've got it. No thanks to you, was the reply.] lie did not think there was a lawyer sn Worcestershire who would not agree with him on the ne cessity of legal reform. After • few further remarks he concluded by again thanking the electors for their reception of him. A vote of thanks was then passed to the high sheriff, and the election was complete. SOUTH SHROPSHIRE. The et , etion for the members of the southern divi sion of Shropshire took place at Church Stretton yester day. The Hon. R. 11. Clive and the Viscount Newport were returned without opposition. The former member declared himself as a supporter of L>rd Derby's govern ment, because he thought it was the only one which would be beneficial to the country. He would support it gene rally and cordially. He was in favour of the Militia Bill, the Chancery Reform Bill, the New Zealand Bill, and of religious education. Viscount Newport, as a member of the administration, assured the electors that every attention would be paid to the agricultural interest, and the interests of the country eneraliy. No doubt, if the country thought proper, remedial measures would be introduced. He should give the government a hearty support, feeling assured that the measures they would introduce would be of the greatest benefit to all classes. The Maynooth inquiry should hays his support, and all measures calcu lated to promote the protestant interests of the country. OXFORDSHIRE. The nomination took place yesterday at the County Hall. The proceedings commenced at half-past 10 o'clock, but an hour before that time the party in Lord Noreen' interest, consisting chiefly of the lowest classes resident in this city, and who have no votes, proceeded in a body, and took possession of the hall. As the putting forth of Lord Norreys was contrary to his wish his lordship did not make his appearance. nor did scarcely any of the voters in his interest. Soon after 10 c'elock Mr. Henley, one of the late members, attended by a large body of freeholders on horseback sad in carriages, procee ded to the hall ; Mr. Harcourt and his friends followed next, and then came Colonel North, whose procession wee the largest. Oa the candidates and their friends reaching the hall, they found that it was filled to overflowing with Lord Moneys' partisans, and that the only spate an was a portion of the gallon', from which the tan- Mudd attempt—for, generally speaking, it is oily cal allemmt-10 address the meeting. After the usual for moii ders. which were gone through in the midst of the uproar, the high sheriff, John H. Ashunt, En., that they would give every one a fair and impenteal , mad conduct the business in • manner due to Its , and to those who wished to address them. i it. vr.TVILLOUGHBY, Bart., M.P. proposed, and Dr. Pluxuecitut seconded Mr. Harcourt: which elicited m illionth's applause. Mr. VlNclusr, proprietor of the Oxford Herald, a pro teetionist paper, nominated Lord Norreys, on the ground that his lordship was a free trader, and had voted against resisting the papal aggression. Mr. Joule Towxn, a member of the Anti-Corn-Law League, and • dissenter, seconded the nomination, which was received with tumultuous cheering from the extreme radical y. Sir H. L.trsear, But., nomiaated, and Mr. LICKXIII/3 seeended the Right Hon. Joseph Warner Henley. Colonel FANS proposed, and Colonel DAWKINS seconded 1 Colonel North. No other candidate being put in nomination, Mr. HARCOURT addressed the rarratleg, sad alluded to the fact that he had bum end seasmbet by two gentlemen who had ma de the last 10 years, and who, although they did not agree ea some points themselves, and differed with him on others, had that con fidence in his integrity and judgment, that they concurred in proposing him to their notice. With respect to the corn laws, he stated that Lord Norreys and himself never voted differently on that question, and that they as well as Mr. Henley at the time it wan proposed to re peal the run laws, were of opinion it was too precipi tate, hasty, and decisive an application of a new principle to a state of things which had existed not only from 1815, but from the time of Charles 11. He stated that kis own opinion had always been in f f great concession, and he wished that the farmers had taken that opinion with him at en earlier period; but it was useless to discuss a subject now when there was so great a majority against any re enactment of the corn laws, and when there was no pros pect of the question being revived by the present govern ment. Ile said that it was quite unn to state his political views, because they were so well nown, and he was not a new candidate, but one whose political coodect had been before them for 25 years. Mr. HENLEY, who was unable to obtain a hearing for some time, end then only partially so, said that, with respect to the repeal of the corn laws, Mr. Harcourt, Lord Honeys, and himself had voted against it—(much uproar) — and it was well known that he had told his agricultural friends in different parts of the seamy that there was no chance of their re-imposition. lb votes upon general manses had bean before this emetry es tre=ll, ne any wishes er the House of Commas. Ind by miss he whited te be judged. lie had sever he.. a am to give pled se sake promises, and thought that the best test was . a.pas se t words. With respect to the Pet en aggnw ha bed supported the 'masers whisk bad intro dewed te pet it down ; but, et the seem Yew time was no sae presset who was more desirous than himself that every man Amid have the full enjoyment of civil mid religious liberty, so leag as it did not interfere with the prerogative of the Crown. (A cry "We want the ballot and • cheap loaf.") He begged to say that he was not for the ballot, but for open voting— —gad no one was mm anitiou than he was that the poor man should have a cheap and a large loaf; that the working men of this country should have the means of purchasing and enjoying not only the newswire but the luxuries of life aa far as It was possible. (Cheers and cries of " Free trade for ever ") That cry would have dons seven years ago, when It wee proposed to repeal the corn laws ; hot it was folly to raise it now, when there li was no intention on the part of the government to re-impose those laws which the general voice of the country had re joeted. Colonel Nonr li then presented himself, but the groans and hissing were renewed, and he did not persist In the attempt to address the meeting. The Sheriff then took the show of hands, which he de clared to be in f avour o f L or d N orrep , Mr. &smart, and Mr. Henley. A poll was demanded on the part of Colonel North, and was fixed to take place on Thursday end Friday nest; and, lifter a vote of thanks to the high sheriff, this discordant and discreditable nutting sepuuted. OXFORD UNIVERSITY. The polling cotgmeneed yesterday morning at nine o'clock, and was kept up with such spirit the whole of the day that it presented a striking contrast to Saturday's pro• ceedinge. The space in front of the Convocation House, where the polling takrs place, was literally crowded all dry, but the proceedings were conducted with such order and absence of party Lelina that it was diffi.ult to conceive that so interesting a struggle was going on. ho following are the returns hosed by both committees : ULALO4TUN ird ILIITt H' a.

BUCKLNOHAM. The Marquis of Chandos, one of the Lords of the Treasury, and Co:onel Hall, of tho Life Huard., were yes terday rc•rlected without opposition for this borough. Phi lip Box, Etel., Mayar, The Rev. J. COKER proposed the IML:rquis of Chandos Mahn MACDONALD seconded the nomination. 11. HUMPUREVI2I, Esq., nominated Colonel Hall. G. KINO, Esq., seconded. The candidates were declared duly elected, and they stood forward to addrms the electors. Lord CHANDOS said that on the last occasion he had the honour of standing before them not lung ago he hail been sent up to parliament as • supporter and a member of Lord Derbj s ailminbtration ; and he boned he might say that his conduct and his votes since then had been much to their satisfactb.n. (" No, and " hear.") He had represented that borough for a period of six rears, and he hoped so as not to disturb those good wishes which they entertained towards hint. Ho had joined Lord Derby's government, believing that it was adapted to the good of the nation, to the highest benefit of the people at large. Tho measures which the go vernment hat, passed had not belied their professions; and whether the new erections gave the government a majority of supporters or not, that point of their history which would have to be recorded during their reign would be found to be not the least useful or unimportant. (Hear.) Colonel HALL urged that the Derby administration was worthy of his support, and he specified the various mea sures which had been passed. With respect to Maynooth, he said this certainly was a most delicate question. Ile was determined to support the highest amount of religious free dom, for every man should worship God as be thought proper ; but the Pope had daringly arrogated power in this lurid, and the parliament were bound to mod. him. Tho members were then chaired round the town. MIDDLESEX ELECTION. The protectionist party have at length deter- mined that there shall be a contest for Middlesex. Their final scheme is to bring forward only one candidate, namely, the Marquis of Blandford, in the hope, no doubt, that aristocratic influence will prevail against Mr. Bernal Osborne. A meeting of tories was held yesterday morning to determine what course should be pursued, and it was resolved that the efforts of the opposition should be directed to the return of only one protectionist. Fifteen hundred pounds is said to have been subscribed on the spot towards the expenses of the election. The liberals must be firm and united. To lose the metropolitan county would be very wrong, and Mr. Bernal Osborne deserves all the support reformers can give him. SOUTH HANTS ELECTION. Our New Forest correspondent, writing again yesterday, says that Lord Duncan and Ralph Etwall, Esq., win be the liberal candidates for South Haat', and that to morrow they will be nominated in opposition to Mr. Comp ton and Lord H. Cholmondeley, the tory candidates and landlords' nominees. Lord Duncan is highly respected in Hampshire, having sat for Southampton some years since. Ralph Etwall, Esq., is a Hampshire man, and sat for Andover for many years. He is much beloved amiz the farmers. He is a thorough man of business, a sportsman, and was au intimate friend of the late rd George Bentinck. Ile is a free trader, and a liberal in every sense of the word. It is be lieved that Mr. Compton will not engage in a spirited contest, for fear ols the galling opposition from the Foresters, and from the enemies he made in consequence of his opposition to the Dorchester Railroad. As for Lord Cholmondeley, it was with great reluctance that he was in duced to come forwitrd. There is, therefore, the best of chances for the liberals. Mr. Compton will be severely taken to task by the electors at the nomination, for his conduct in parliament, and the utmost determination has been come to not to submit to the insolent and overbear ing conduct of Mr. Sloane Stanley and others at the Mutt ings, and who invariably act as if they elected members by personal right. EDINBURGH (CITY). The nomination took place yesterday, and the can didates brought forward were Mr. Macaulay, Mr. Cowan, Mr. M'Laren, the Hon. 8. C. Bruce, Mr. Campbell, and Mr. Dick. PAISLEY. At the close of the poll, the populace made an attack upon the Saracen's Head Hotel, Mr. Hes tia's committee rooms, and smashed the windows. The police attempted to suppress the riot, but were driven bath by the mob. Several persons were injured. The Riot Act was read, and the 33rd regiment were called out. IRISH ELECTIONS. DUBLIN, MONDAY EVININO. DROGHEDA. It was intimated this morning that t Sir W. Somerville would not contest the borough._ A poU was proceeded with, and np to 12 o'clock Mr. M'Cann polled 200, and at 6 o'clock Mr. M'Cann will be declared duly elected. ATHLONE. An account transmitted by a train which left Athlone this morning at 11 o'clock, and which reached Mullingar at halflast 2, gives the state of the poll at 11 o'clock this morning—Keogh, 85 ; Laws, 10. PORTARLINGTON. Colonel Dunne wss returned this day. GALWAY. The nomination took place on Saturday, when Messrs. M. S. Blake and A. O'Flaherty, the former members, and Lord Dunk.llin were severally proposed and seconded. The polling takes place on Monday (this day), and the con test will be a close and severe one, the opposition being between Lord Dunkellin and Mr. Blake. LIMERICK (CITY.) The utmost excitement prevailed during the last week in this borough. Desperate riots occurred there on Saturday evening, when some priests and others, who were address ing a meeting of the friends of O'Brien and !'otter, were attacked by a mob of Mr. Russell's adherents, and a violent mei& ensued. A conservative paper, describing the affair, says: " While addresses were being delivered a body of men in Mr. Russell's interests made their appearance in the Market-place, and commenced shouting for Russell and civil and religious liberty.' It is said they were under the influence of drink, but, all events, a desperate row ensued ; stones were thrown, and missiles used. In the nick., the Ray. Mr. Darrac, R.R.C., St. Michael's, rushed from the platform Into the crowd for the purpose of quell ing the disturbance, and did all in his power to save the Russell party from the violence of the infuriated mob. In the struggle the Rev. Mr. Dame's interference was misunderstood, and in consequence he was struck at and knocked down three times. The Rev. Mr. Halpin and Rev. Mr. Bourke were also treated with indignity, and the aid of a strong body of pollee (over 200) had to be called in to quell the disturbance. Several respectable electors were grossly maltreated, and a number of persons were cut and badly Injured. The congregated trades, as well ea the leading Roman catholic electors, are divided. The trades have passed resolutions that twelve guilds, with their ban ners, will accompany Mr. Russell to the hustings to-mor row; the other guilds assert that, if such be done, the colours will he torn to fritters. This day the insult offered to the catholic clergy last night was a theme of exhortation and denunciation at all the chapels in the city. The cry is, ' Cheer up, and let this be another Arundel election.' " THE NEW PARLIAMENT. MEMBERS RETURNED TO SERVE IN THE NEW PARLIAMENT. Derbyttes. Aberdeen Abingdon Andover H. B. Coles Sir W.

LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASYLU3I.—FETE CuArr tiTan AT CHEMORNlL—Yesterday the annual fete rharn ptre and fancy fair, in aid of the Licensed Victuallers schools, were held at Crcmorne•gardena, and opened with all the eclat which tine weather, attractive amusements, and lots of company could communicate. The company began to assemble about three o'clock, and from that hour, until late in the evening, every successive river boat poured its human freight int* the gardens. At live o'clock the children of the school arrived, and having been marshalled at the entrance under the governor and com mittee of the Licensed Victuallers' Society, paraded tho grounds, preceded by a band of music. Their healthy re spectable appearance attracted universal attention, and fa vourable comments were very general on the good taste which had discarded the livery of charity in arranging their costume. They were all clothed plainly and well, but had nothing in their dress except its unifor mity to distinguish them from the pupils of a respectable boarding school. Having announced their arrival on the lawn by a hearty, but rather juvenile cheer, they spread themselves over the gardens in. various directions to enjoy the never-coding wonders of the Crernorne bill of fare. The " Cremorue Bra's Band" played the most lively of polkas, to which M. Roches, the " unrivalled contortionist, twisted himself into the most extraordinary of shapes. Milne. Violante gave them her graceful performance on the tight rope, and thus, what with globe and wheel ascents, a vocal concert, the ballet, and the circus, the young visitors had ample and pleasurable employment for their holiday. There were great numbers of the patrons of the society present, and a considerable general company, so that there is every reason to hope that the fete, besides the pleasure it afforded to all concerned, will prove advantageous to the funds of a most valuable charity. The amusements will be repeated to day, and the profits devoted to the same benevolent put.. pose.
