It was erentidly necessary they should do so, if they did SA mean to reverse the policy which had been adopted. • What dui the Secretary of State for the Colonies say when be was questioned by Mr. Wilson with respect to the sugar duties ?

Mr. Christopher, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, !radio:3 us from fir,t to last that he was a protectionist. gone a some length into statistical illustrations of etc hint tit conferred on the country by free trade, Mr. to ea said he should nut trouble them any more ; for so long a* we had freedom of the press and the right of assembling to declare our sentiments—so is we lived under a constitutional government—so long as Entli•lnsan's house was his castle, which no man could invade wilese some abuse was proved against it—so eight hope to he the must independent nation upon each: and he hoped Eng would never give up any et these tleareot of privileges. (Loud cheers.) Mr. CHEETHAMsaid his colleague had shown them, by net. and Moore.. which he had bed the pleasure and the r o,;(,ititig in samous places in this countv, the advameni it of the interests ot tnis great county and of the ~.n u try at Sane by the extension of the principle.' of free bode. Ile w..01d not go over those facts and figures SZUSI. but he would ask what fee, trade had clone for us? Ile said it hod built its own monument in its remit. It was the boast of a Homan emperor that he tad found it of brick and left it of marble; but free trade ciuld with far greater truth point to the tftumphant re sults of its action, saying it holed England live years ago m the depths °Cogitation, dismay, and discontent, and now Lund it in the enjoyment of the highest prosperity, can t non. rat, and peace. It found the abode of the poor man, then th. abode of drunkennen,scowline looks, dissatisfaction, and unhappiness; and now we found it the abode ot peace and to I sviiness, comfort and contentment. (A voice, " And et the big loaf.") His friend was right, for that was the secret cif the whole. The improvement showed that the hoe trader was not a man ot one eye, looking at physical e•or.e.rts alone ; they certainly were his ostensible objects, bat the result was, that he opened a pathway of peace soil ontrutmo nt, happiness, and abundance ; a pathway for the esertiins of the philanthropist on the one hand and the Chronan on the other. Ile claimed no mean distinction So the friends of free trade ; he said they were not merely advocating low principle., to supply the physical ants of man . hut the eowntial to give stimulus to the benevolent man and the Christian, in all his efforts to do good in the generation in which he lived. He would go further, and my that the throne of this country was Sear on a wider and more substantial foundation than it ems now. Ile knew that the noble virtues of the lady who presidia there would entitle her to have a throne so sub stantial ; but when they spread contentment among all dawn, regrow, d abuses and unrighteous laws, and aban toed monopolies of the few at the expense of the many, then they had sound foundations for the institutions end the throne of the country. (Cheers.) These were the results rot free trade, and the monuments which free trade could point to. His colleague had shown them by facts and tames what result this policy had tended to up to last year. Now, he had been enabled to look at the facts of the first lout months of this year, and he found that the power of consumption on the part of the com munity at large, which was the result of free trade, merited employment, better wages, and more abundant work—had steadily gone on increasing, in a still greater ratio than last year. Ile was told that the jos ',menet would not go back to Falsities. Bat they had to deal with men who Inn idler Imeases. &hie or dishosest. If they wen begoelneffie, thee Mentos, which was the only security ea aabty of the country at Christmas, could not in six olitgitle have be come what they now said of it.

The election for the North Riding of Yorkshire • • place yestenlay, in the Castle-yard, York, where a + , *.cs. had been erected. The High Sheriff (Sir J. H.

Sr WILLIAM WOMALLY, Bart., then proposed, and Mr. J ms OATH WAITS, of Elaine... (tenant fanner) seconded tt• i. , ,anination of Mr. Cayley. P. S. Mentairr, E.g., of Rokeby, proposed, and th.,•,,,ku Parana. Esq., of Bedsle, seconded the noon. ..(the lion. 0. buncombe. So mA , r candidate 1;;;;;propoisee I, the two gentlemen were &eland duly elected. Mr I .k k LEY said it was now his pleasing duty to re t,m A,. warmest thanks for their kindness in again return itir him to reprisent them in parliament. For 20 Jean he 1.4 h.:4 shut important and distinguished office; and r bumble hia • Riffle, no member ever posserd a more e eliding constituency. When he entered parliament he •i. not a strong party man. he that wa., to s , rue the intends of his constituents. At 4, present ,r w.. difficult say on which side he ought '• or what party he imaht to support. It was from no , rf rt of his that Lord J. Buren had abdicated office—there a.. no individual he more respected—he not only honoured hint as a puhlie man, b u t h e esteeme d hi m as a friend. For iishteen months prior to his retirement it was evident that ha irmiurtb•nt was doomed, and then the question acne who could take his place. There was no man to whom the country so clearly pointed as to the Earl of baby. Under those circumstances, when Lord J. RlSS eovernment fell simply because it could not stand, be (Mr. ..tyley) asked himself how it was possible to with hold fur play to Earl Derby. Since Earl Derby had rgnie into office he never saw a government which had been carried on with greater practical ad vantage to the country than had that of Earl Derby's ; and it the Earl Of Derby continued to support their interest. aal the interests of the country he should have his zealous supp,rt. (eheen.) Much hail been said against protec- Irv. Ile wished to know if since ISM they had all had the lair loaf > (y..) If they had, he congratulated them ots Ile was Juniata N promote British industry and to "rt' , oriite trade, and he believed that tradesmen gene -74Y had loot more at the counter than they. had ,is, 41 i n the cupboard. No man hated class legislation than himself, and he denied that he and those who thought with him wished to starve the poor. With r t" , be futon , the great struggle would be on the atre r e d t If there was any one member of the present 11 '"'1141i , nt whom he would place in competition with a zttr.ttr of the law govanment, that man was Xt. Diamali. No man was more fitted by his intelligence, deep thought, and talent, to grapple with the subject of taxation than was Mr. Diane.i. For himself, he was for keeping all the good they now posst•.red, soil obtaining as much more as they could. Sinn he had been in parliament he was astonished at the progress which had been made--and all this under the system of protection. Civil and religious liberty be had always advocated, but he would so little approve of lieen tiutisuess as be would of bigotry. lie was fur progrees, but it must be steady; let them be sure their pnigress was not towards evil, but that it was in the right direction. (Applause.) The lion. 0. DUNCOMBE neat addressed the electors. He would vote fur oomatitutiousl progress, but he would oppose democratic reforms. Lord John Russell's Reform Bill of this year was scoffed by everybody ; but there are anomalies in the present law relating to the re presentation which needed reform, and be believed Lord Derby would be prepared to undertake that task. He compared Think with Honiton, awl Northallerton with Thetford, to show that the smaller boroughs gummed two members whilst the larger boroughs had only one. Ile believed Lord Derby would do hie best to improve the representative system, and in that effort he would give to hie lordship his hest support. lie next referred to the Ecclesiastical Titles Hill, which he bad zea lously supported, and he rejoiced at the fact that England had risen as one man to defend the prerogatives of the crown against the aggressions of intriguing Rome. The resignation of Lorl John Russell in 1811 he represented so having been a sham, and the resignation of this year was intended to have had a like result ; but fortunately there wale man of ability, talent, and eloquence, unrivalled since the days of Burke; he found in the country party the materials for a good government, which be believed would give satisfaction to the country at large. Let them judge them by their sets. In one short session they had passed 88 important hills—including that essential measure, the Militia Hill--and on that point he contended it was good policy in times of peace to be prepared for war. After some further remarks he concluded by again thanking them, and by declaring his intention to give a cordial and a generous support to Earl Derby, who he believed was the only man under present circumstances that was able to un dertake the affairs of this great country. A note of thanl... to the Sheriff terminated the proceed. •igs, which were of a most orderly character. NORTH NORTHAMPTONSHIRE. The election fur too knights to servo in parlio molt for the northern division of the county of Northamp ton tout place y..terday (Wednesday) at Kettering. The electiuu was held in the Market-place, four or live waggons Ming mimed in a semi-circle for the accommodation of the caudidates and their friends. Mr. E. D. TttvoN proposed, and Sir CHAIALI6 Num.' seconded, the nomination of Mr. %musell, amidst so much uproar that it was impossible to catch ono consecutive seutence. Sir Cuos. Itostsmon proposed Mr. Stafford. Mr. J. Your seconded the nomination. Mr. J. WBtrwELL, of Peterborough, then came forward to name a third candidate, and was loudly cheered. Ile said the liberal party would not be satisfied without trying *hat the feeling of the northern division was. lie objected to the two old members so being supporters of the present government ; they were playing fast and loose, and hail no definite line of policy. He had now the pleasure of submit ting is them the name of a gentleman who, it was said, had refused to take any part in the contest—it was Mr. George Fitawilliam. (Tremendous cheering fur some minutes.) Mr. Fitawilliam was of an old and honoured family, to whom no objection could be urged, even by Sir George Robinson. (Great laughter, and cheering.) Mr. June Srrsice. of Old, seconded the nomination. Mr. MAUNSELL then addressed the electors, assuring them that he still upheld the same principles he had advo cated when he first offered himself to their suffrages. Mr. A. STAFFORD was received with great cheering, mingled with hooting and groaning. Ile had not come there as the advocate of the small loaf, or of restricted im• portations. He mine as the advocate of justice to all classes, not excluding from it those who have by the sudden and crude and violent legislation of recent years had their capital imperilled and their property and their lives seriously compromised. (Cheers.) Ile contended that where it was shown that injustice had been done the party was entitled to redress—be should certainly main tain that the injured party was entitled to redress, but he would not go the length of setting up one class in a position of superiority over another. This he would say to the , farmers of Northampton, that when they were deserted by others Lord Derby stood by them, and showed a courage and a consistency very unlike the gentlemen who go to support one side in a borough and another in a county, on two consecutive days. (Great laughter.) Without abandoning any o) those principles he had been sent into parliament to support, he now asked them for the athird tame to return him. He still adhered to those principles, although as to the means of carrying them out some modifications might probably be intro duced. Mr. WILLIAM IRVING GUIFFEN, of Wellingborough, I said r Mr. Fitswilli= was not present, he would take the I liberty of saying a few words to the electors. lie thought it was time the member who had been for the last 16 years asleep, should be required to retire and give place to • man who was more wide awake. He was a tenant farmer and had advocated free trade for many years, and he was glad to find the eyes of the people were at length opened to the delusions of protection. He believed the hoo. gentleman ' wool appear at the poll and would be triumphantly re turned. (Loud cheers.) The High Sheriff then called for a show of hands, the numbers being pretty nearly balanced for each of the three candidates, and declared the choice of the electors to have fallen upon Messrs. Mannar' and Stafford. A poll was demanded on behalf of Mr. Fitswilliam. After a vote of thanks to the high sheriff, the county court was adjourned till nine o'clock on Monday morning, when the polling will commence. NORTH LEICESTERSHIRE. Yesterday the nomination of county members for northern Leicestershire took place at Loughborough, within hustings temporarily erected in (rout of the Plough Inn, in the Market-place. The proceeding. commence at 10 o'clock, at which time the Marquis of Granby, who succeeds his uncle (Lord Charles Manners) in the representation, and Mr. E. B. Farnham, one °Film late members, ware escorted to the hatings by a proceseicia of gentlemen on foot and farmers on horseback, a band of music leading the way. The formalities usual no with occasions having bees duly gnus through, Mr. W. Humes, of Beanmanor, proposed, and Mr. E. B. Heneorr, of Little Dalltz,y , seconded the nomication of Mr. E. B. Farnham , who, said, had represented the constituency for 15 years, and never ems during that time had falsified a pledge or gives an interested vote. Sir G. J. Patrice, Bart., said, as one of their late mem bers had retired into repots, after • long and useful life. while he deplored the loss of that nobleman (Lord Charles Manners), he begged leave to nominate a nobleman in every way worth j to succeed him, namely, the Marquis of Granby. (Applause. Mr. R. °eon, of North Kilworth, availed himself of the honour of seconding the nomination of the Marquis of Granby, believing him to be the beet sad fittest representative they could have. Mr. T. PICKWORTH said the atonal of the farmers were nearly allied to those of the trading classes, and therefore he hoped they would su ppor t Mr. Richard Harris, of Lei cester, whom he now nominated as • fit and proper to represent North Leicatenhire in the Common' Wi r i sa u 6 se of Parliament. (Urea sheering, mingled with derisive laughter.) The Rev. E. Srovinson, Baptist minister, seconded the emanation for the purpose of testing the state of public feeling. Mr. FARNHAM then stopped forward to explain his principles, but was a keg time before he could obtain a hearing. Having made some personal observations re flecting upon Mr. Pickworth, be called upon the electors to judge for themselves whether he had not, during the 16 years he had represented them, consistently sustained their principles. If their answer was favourable, he had some right to expect a renewal of their confidence. The Marquis of GRANBY, who was well received by all classes, said as this was the first time he had ever had the honour of addressing the electors of North Leicestershire, he hoped they would exercise a little indulgence, and then, after they had heard what he had to say, they would be enabled to decide whether they would approve or reject him. (Applause.) If they really were benefitted by free trade, they might depend upon it that the system would be reversed, but if they were not benefitted they would ask again for protection. (Loud cries of " Never " from • band of stocking makers in front of the hustings.) They had been told that the large land owners had not suffered by free trade, and in this he agreed ; nor was it the wealthy tenant-farmer, but the poorer class of tenants and small freeholders, who were wont off—the small shipowner, the small manufacturer, and all who had not much money, were suffering. The noble lord then adverted to the advent to power of the Derby adm'nistration, and c mtrasted the measures passed by it during the short period of its existeuee with those passed by the government of Lord John Russell. Under the existing state of things they levied the taxes of the country upon the farmer, the shipowner, and every clam except the Manchester cotton-spinner, and he elms threw up his hat fur free trade. lie asked of Englishmen, however, to do justice. If it were possible to return to a better system, without reverting to protection, let them do so ; but he questioned whether they could, even by an adjustment of taxation. (Hear, hear.) He would ride the horse protection so long as he was fit to go out with it, but when not fit he would take the beast of burden so far as it would carry him. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) Greatly as he esteemed privately the members of Lord Derby's government, he wished to be ?agreed for that corotitueury under no Glee colours, and therefore he said he would not render it his blind support, bet would seize every opportunity of supporting it generally. The noble marquis spoke of the support be had given to the Ecclesiastical Titles Dill, and declared his deter. minstioei to continue to resist all attempts at Papal aggres sion. Then, having expressed an opinion that working men required protection from the Titans of the manufacturing districts, he coneuded by proposing three cheers for Old England. A show of hands was then taken, very few being held up for Mr. Farnham, rather more fur the Marquis of Granby, sad the bulk of thiwo present for Mr. Harris. The fins SHERIFF declared the majority to be in favour of the Marquis of Granby and Mr. Harris; whereupon the name of the latter gentleman was withdrawn, and Mr. Farnham, with the Marquis of Granby, were daly returned. The newly-elected members briefly returned thanks ; and the proceedings terminated shortly before one O'clock, by • vote of thanks to the High BhertM lIE EXPRESS, THURSI) \l' EVENING, JULY 15, 1852 Colonel Lowther then presented himself to the meeting and was loudly cheered. After duly cape, 'slog hie sense of the honour just conferred upon him, concluded an address of some length, in which he professed his faith in Lord Derby, raying he should act up to the wishes of his constituents in every respect. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Alderman Thompson was very warmly received, and having stated hie reasons for placing his confidence in Lord Derby, concluded a speech of considerable length, in the course of which he was repeatedly interrogated by Captain Elliot, by sa v i ng , w h a t ever ex p er i ence h e h a d had, or whatever talents he might be blessed with, such he I would ardently and seduously apply to the promotion of the welter° of his constituents, and to the welfare of his fellow citizens. (Loud cheers.) After a vote of thanks had been given to the lligh Sheriff, the ceremony of chair ing the members took place, and subsequently a great num bea of the electors sat down at dinner at the King's Head and other inns in the town. All classes appeared to avail, ; themselves of the occasion fur a holyday. NORTH DURHAM. The nomination takes place on Friday, and a requi sition is in cows° of signature calling upon Mr. I , Nawick, the unsuccessful candidate fur Sunderland, to come forward in the liberal interest. OXFORD UNIVERSITY. OXFORD, WRONFaDAY.—Although the retirement of Dr. Marsha= was communicated last evening, an 4 an nounced by both committees, it appeared that the poll could not be closed until Wednesday evening, as it had been pre viously arranged that it should remain open until that time, in order to afford every possible facility for electors from a distance to record their votes. Accordingly the poll wu opened again this morning, at nine o'clock ; but as the contest was considered to be virtually at an end only a very few votes were recorded, as will be seen by the returns. Dr. Mareharo's committee issued no re turns at all to-day, and withdrew their poll-elerk front the hustings, and the very few voters who dropped in at long intervals made it a very tedious business for the offi cials, who could not abandon their posts. The last general election, Sir It. 11. Ingli, polled 1,700, Mr. Gladstone 997, and Mr. Round 824. The poll closed at 7 o'clock, and the tollowing_are the returns which have been issued during the day by Mr. Gladstonc's committee : At 10. IL 12. 2. 4. 7.

The nomination of a candidate for tho representa tion of the county of Lanark took place on Tuesday, in front of the County hall. Sir ARCHIBALD ALMON, sheriff, having read the writ and the oath against bribery and corruption, Sir WILLIAM MAXWeLL, of Calderwood, moved that Mr. Lockhart, the late member, is a fit and proper person to re present the county in parliament. Seconded by Mr. WIL LIAM STERLING, of hennuire. No other candidate being nominated, the Sheriff called (or a show of hands, and thereafter declared Mr. Lockhart duly elected. Mr. LOCKIIART on presenting himself was received with applause. lie entreated the meeting to accept of his warmest thanks for having thus, • third time, returned him to parliament. He could only assure them that ho would endeavour by increased diligence and zeal to render himself worthy of their choice—(cheers)—to render those ' services which they had • right to expect at his hands. Of this he was conscious, that he had never departed from the principles on which he was first returned to parliament, and that be had never failed in the performance of his duties, as far as he was able to perform them, to this great country. (Cheers.) Ho had opposed some of the' meager-es proposed by the late government, because they appeared to him to bring unnecessary expense upon the cou , ties and he had supported others intended fur the relief of agricultural interests, but he was sorry to say with less success. With regard to the question of free trade he must say that, in yielding_ to public opinion, he had the greatest apprehension. Without reci procity it would prove deeply injurious to this country. He placed the most implicit confidence in the government of Lord Derby ; the country had already received an earnest of what they were prepared to do, and he rejoiced that this great county had given their adhesion to his lordship's ad ministration, to our protestant Queen, and our protestant constitution. A vote of thanks was given to Sir Archibald Alison, Bart., and the proceedings terminated. WEST GLOUCESTERSHIRE. The nomination of candidates — tor the western division of the cou•rty of Gloucester took place ye.terday at Horsley, a small town about three links from the Berkeley • road station on the Eristol and Gloueish-r railroad. The three candidates are Mr. Blegden Hair, Mr. Orantlry Berke ley, and Mr. li.rigscote, the two former at whom repre sented the division in the late paliatnent. The return of Mr. Hale is Feuerally lookid upon u secure ; but a severe contest is anticipated beta ceu the two other can didates. The nomination having taken place, Mr. GItANTLEY BERKELEY then came forward, and was received with strong marks of disapprobation. After a few introductory remarks, he said, in spite of any thing that any man may say, I am prepared to carry out free trade to the very fullest extent. (" Oh, oh," and con fusion.) But then I say that farmers sh►ll have it as well as manufacturers. (Cheers.) I hope, Geoid, that I have I not said anything that is personally offensive to you, but I am obliged to speak what I think, and I have a right to build up my speech upon the best intelligence that I can get. You say that you have united the whole of the liberal interest under Mr. Kingseote. Well, you know that Ido not receive much support from the castle, or from my brother; but what will you say when I tell you that so con vinced is my brother that my intentions are honest, that he I gives me a plumper. (Laughter sud twine.) If that is the ease, you must condemn my_ brother Henry if you condemn me. With regard to Mr. Kingscote himself, I am hound to say that I never met with a single man who had a word to say against him ; but I must ask him to explain to you in what respect he is a better free trader than I am. (Oh, oh.) I suppose he will say that it is enough for him that I support Lord Derby's ministry. But I should be glad .o know whether Mr. Kingscote will be enough of • liberal to vote for the ballot. (Loud cheers and uproar.) The hon. gentleman, in conclusion, referred to the ques tions which had been put to him by Mr. Geoid, and stated in reply that Mr. Goold had never asked him to interfere with the miners of the Forest of Dean, and had not re quested him to procure a government situation fur his son. Messrs Hex' and KiNoseoTe also very briefly addressed the electors. Mr. 0. BERKELEY, pointing to a banner, on which was written "Ho that withholdeth corn the people shall curse him," begged to ask whether Mr. Kinprote had sanctioned the use of such an inscription ? Colonel KINOSCOTE said that they had never seen the Danner before, and that they knew nothing about it. Mr. G. BERKELEY, in reply to a question from a per son in the crowd, said that he would sine in favour of the total repeal of the melt tax. An Etitc-rou asked Mt. Hale if he would vote against this imposition of any duty on foreign corn ? Mr. HALE—That depends on circumstances. (" Oh, oh," and laughter.) A show of hands was then taken, and The SHERIFF declared the result to be in favour of Mr. Kingscote and Mr. Hale. A poll was thin demanded on the part of Mr. G. Berkeley, which will be held on Monday and Tuesday next. The proceedings then terminated. We feel bound to say that the accommodation provided for the members of the press was very insu ffi cient, and that they experienced great di ffi culty in the discharge of their I arduous duties. SOUTH HANTS. The nomination for tho Southern Division of Hants took place in the Guildhall, Southampton, yesterday ffechasaday). No candidates presented themselves besides the late sitting members, It. C. Compton, Esq., and Lord Chelmpntleley (as successor to Lord CharlcsWellesley), both conseflratives. Each candidate luring briefly addressed the electors, Mr. Deng's, member of the corporation of Southampton, begged to know whether, if Lord Derby brought forward a measure for proposing a protecting duty on corn, Lord Chol• mondele would support it ? (Great uproar.) Lord CHOLMONDELEY—No, I would not. I would oppose it. (Tremendous cheering.) Mr. &nouns, member of the Portsmouth town council, endeavoured to ask a question, but the company wore im patient, and cheers for the Queen, thanks to the sheriff, cheers for Mr. Compton, cheers for his lordship, and other eschunations drowned his voice and frustrated the efforts of Mr. Solomon. There being no other candidates, the swords and spurs were then girded on the two knights of the shire, who were declared duly elected, and the proceedings terminated. EAST SUFFOLK. The nomination and election of two knights of the shire to serve in parliament for the eastern division of the county of Suffolk took place yesterday on hustings erected on the Cornhill, Ipswich, in the presence of Mr. Anstruther, the High Sheriff of the county, and a great concourse of persons. There was no contest on the occa sion, the only candidates being Sir Fitzroy Kelly and Sir E. S. Gooch, both ministerialists, who represented the divi sion at the close of the hut parliament. Mr. W. C. FONNEII.IIO proposed, and Capt. F. Cos• KANCL seconded, Sir E. S. Gooch ; and Sir Fitzroy Kelly was nominated and seconded respectively by Col. Biscz and Mr. N. BARTHROTT. The HUM Simmer then asked if any other elector had a candidate to nominate, and no reply being made he de clared Sir E. S. Gooch and Sir Fitzroy Kelly to have been duly elected. Sir E. S. GOOCH said ho would sedulously attend to their local interests, and to those of the country at large. That was the third time they had elected him to represent them in parliament, and they might rely on it that the confideoce they had again reposed in him should humble supporter of the government of Lord Derby, fur to that nobleman and his administration alone they must look no* for the good of the country. (Cheers and derisive laughter.) On the subject of protection he was afraid they should not have a re-imposition of the duty on foreign corn. (A laugh.) But under the auspices of the ' present good government he hoped that taxes would be re moved and the saddle put upon tho right horse. (Cheers.) Although John Bull was a good horse, be wan at present over-weighted, and all he (Sir E. S. Gooch) wanted to see was his carrying no more than his fair weight in a fair race. (Cheers.) Sir FITZROY KELLY, who was received with cheer,', mingled with disapprobation, then gave one of his usual anti-free-trade speeches, in which he made free use of long- exploded fallacies, and indulged in figures all his own. lie concluded by saying, '• When we take the whole of the community together, it is adversity and loes, and not Fain and prosperity, which free trade has produced—and if we find when we look a little more minutely into the details of the consequences of this legislation to that great class of the community with respect to whom Edmund Burke, the wisest of statesmen, declared that it was unwise and dangerous to try experiment, with the farmers of Great Britain—(a derisive taugh)—if we find, taking the three classes of which they are composed, that they are reduced to this condition, that the landlords are unabletoobtaiu their tents—(renewed laughter and counter cheers)—even after the deductions they are compelled to make —that the tenant farmer, after working and toiling from one end of the year to the other, and expending the sweat of his brow, so far from gaining, has sustained a loss, and is obliged to fail bock upon his capital to pay his just debts, and that many of the labourers are unable to obtain employment, while some of them are obliged to contest themselves with wages of is., 81., and 9s. a week, I ask you whether it is not time to put a stop to this fatal march of unholy legislation, and to stand forward to defend the wr, culture] interests of this country against their reckless andressonelese enemies. _ ilireTilieexii sheen wen then given for the Queen, end three for the High aerie', and with that ebullition of l r oy er :l2 the proceedings terminated, and the crowd die• WEST NORFOLK. LYNN, JULY 13=Aii;Iiilf; retirement of the Hon. E. it. Coke from the representation of this division of the county, it wu generally supposed that W. Bane, En., the late member, and 0. P. Bentinek, E s q., both protec tionists, for whom a most active and energetic canvass hes been made, and with great oneness, would have been re turned without opposition. This, however, does not appear to be the ease, as it his been publicly announced that " an eminent agriculturist, who is also a man of high standing, and a free.trader," will be proposed at the nomination, which takes place at SwatFham, on Saturday next. On Tuesday a requisition to Mr. A. Hamond, of Westans Hall, was placed before the electors, and in the course of a few hours received many signatures. At the last general election, in 1847, Mr. Hamond and the lion. C. Coke contested this division with Mr. Bagge and Mr. L'Estrange, when Meson. Bagge and Coke were returned. From general rumour it appears that Mr. Hamond, notwithstanding his being brought forward at the eleventh hour, will go to the poll; and it is • tated that Mr. H. Birkbeck, the banker, will be the second can didate in the free trade interest. Both Mr. Hamond and Mr. Birkbeck are well known in the county, and are deser vedly respected. NORTH WARWICKSHIRE. Our correspondent writes: " Both parties arc making great exertions to secure the election. Messrs. C and Skipwith, the free trade candidates, addressed a large and influential meeting of the electors in Binning. tuna on Tuesday evening, and ware very warmly received. Curiously enough, the hirelings of the tory party are said to have turned against their own friends at Coleshill on Monday. The robberies were beyond—far beyond—the average on such occasions ; no less than 28 watt Iles were reported so stolen from the person to the superintendent of police at Birmingham yesterday. To speculate on the re sult of the election would probably be attended with the ' usual absurdity ass relates to the result ; both parties are eontldent; the probability appears to be that the return will be ' one and one.'" MONMOUTHSHIRE. • At a special county court, held on Wednesday, Octasins Morgan, Esq., and Captain Edward Arthur Somer set were elected unanimously to represent the county in the ensuing parliament. Thu Marquis ot Worcester repre sented Captain Somerset, who is absent at the Cape, on the occasion. WESTMORELAND. The nomination, election, and chairing of the mem bers for the county of Westmoreland took place on Tuesday. Mr. H. W. liasell proposed the lion. Colonel Lowther; Mr. John Hill, of Appleby, seconded the nomination. Mr. U. E. Wilson proposed Mr. Alderman Thompson; Mr. James Gandy seconded the nomination. The High Sheriff haying first inquired whether there was any other candidate to be proposed and no ono answering, declared Colonel Lowther and Alterman Thootpotot to bo duly elected. Tin Hoc. KIRKC UDBRIGHTSHIR E. Mr. John Mackie, of Bargalay, was elected for the stewsrtry of Kirkcudbright this day (Tuesday, the 13th inst.)—Mr. Millwood Maxwell, of the Grove, proposed Mr. Mackie ; Dr. Cowan, of Dildawn, seconded the motion.— Mr. Mackie expressed his pleasure in having been elected without being required to give any pledges, as he would not enter parliament as the slave of any man or any body of men. The question of Maynooth was an important one, which must be judited upon general grounds, and not solely as a religious question. On it he was disposed to act accord ing to the sentiments of his constituency, provided these were fairly obtained and expressed by a decided majority. He then stated his adherence to free trade, and expressed his belief that Lord Derby would throw protection over board next session. SELKIRKSHIRE. WEDNESDAY.—Mr. Elliot Lockhart was returned without opposition. Ho was proposed by Sir James Rus sell, seconded by Mr. Paterson. COUNTY OF BUTE. WEIINESDAY.—The Right Hon. J. Stuart Wortley was propowd by Captain Villiers Stuart, seconded by Pro vost Gibson, of ltothaay, and unanimously elected. LENTLITHGOWSHIRE. WEDNESDAY.—Mr. Deaden was elected to-day. Hs wu proposed by Mr. Hog, seconded by Mr. Shank. Mr. Dundas wu absent on the continent, and his father returned thanks for him. EDINBURGH. It is expected that Mr. Macaulay, who was re turned at the top of the poll, wilt personally thank the electors, by proceeding to Edinburgh, and holding • meet ing, on some day in the course of the present week. lie is said by his friends to be suffering from weak health, or he would have made an effort to appear at the declaration of the poll on Wednesday. THE HUSH ELECTIONS. DUBLIN, JULY 14. DUBLIN UNIVERSITY. Yesterday morning the Provost of Trinity College held • court in the Examination Hall for the election of two mem bers to represent the University of Dublin in parliament. The hall was densely crowded with ettidente, who, u usual on these occasions, kept up the say Oasis demonstrations of the Kentish fire. The two former mashers, Mr. George Alexander Hamilton, and Mr. Napier, Attorney-General, were severally proposed and seconded, the former by Dr. Gayer, Q.C., and the Rev. Dr. Lloyd, 8 F.J.C.D. ; and the latter by the Rev. Dr. Singer and Dr. Wall, vice-provost ; and, there being no opposition, they were declared duly elected. Mr. Hamilton, in his address, referred at some length to the education question. Heald : "My valued and esteemed colleague on the occasion of his being last elected as your representative ciplainwl to you the communications which passed between him and Lord Derby in reference to this question. He told you that Lord Derby had expressed his willingness that there should be an inquiry held for the purpose in the first place of ascertaining what it is most important to ascertain, namely, whether or no this system G really a united system ; of inquiring in the second place whether there had been any and what departures from Its constitution as originally reposed ; and in the third place, of inquiring by what means the conscientious objections of the protestants of this country could be re moved. And my right honourable Mend told pu of the indignant manner in which Lord Derby repudiated the notion that a man's conscientious objections in a matter of ouch vital importance was to be held as a bar to his pro motion. (Applause.) I have no doubt myself that the result of this will be an arrangement which I trust and believe will be considered satisfactory to the protestant' of this country." The speech of Mr. Napier contained no point of much in terest. LIMERICK. The nomination took place yesterday. Mr. Maunsell and Mr.throld, the late members, and Mr. Thomu Fit:p utt!, a tenant-right candidate brought forward at the eleventh hour, were severally proposed and seconded ; and a contest appears inevitable, u Mr. Maunsell has declined all compromise, and Mr. (bold is determined to fight to the last for his former seat. Mr. Kinderley, the Deriiitecandidate, has been *cared from the field, and sent in shin resignation yesterday morn ing to the high sheriff. Mr. Maurice O'Connell will there fore be declared duly elected this day, at the adjourned sitting of the court. During the whole of yesterday, the town of Tralee was the scene of rejoicing ; bands played through the streets, and it seemed to be a gala day with every one. Mr. Kioderley throws the entire Ideate of his forced retreat on the priests, who, he says, intimidated the electors. DUNDALK. There has been so yet no authoritative confirmation of the reported withdrawal of Mr. Jocelyn, which I mentioned fait evening. ATHLONE. Mr. Keogh hu addressed the following letter to the Freeman, explaining some matters relative to his election " hubtin, Tuesday.-Bir,—Your correspondent at Athlone has fallen into error in stating the number of my supporters at 78; they were, in fact, 87. Ile has also been misinformed as to Mr. Lewes declining to poll until I gave trill. nee of my qualification, which I am stated to have refused no such thing recurred. Mr. Lewes polled, I believe, all his 'supporters; and as to qualification, he served me, es I served him, with the usual notice, but you ere of course aware that evidence of qualification is never given at an election, although it is necessary for a candidate properly served with notice to make a declaration before a magis trate. You will, I trust, have no objection to insert this in your next.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, WlLLtue Knoou." THE WEATHER AND THE CROP .—ln consequenco of the heat the bay harvest has been hastened rapidly on ; a good deal has been carried around Chesterfield. The crop, generally speaking, promises to be more productive than could pomibly ham been expected a mouth ago.—Der bysltiro Cowries. THE NEW PARLIAMENT.
