The High Sheriff of the county, Mr. P. WItOVONTON. . . H. M.P., proposed Mr. W. G. Cariedtsb, KS of the late member; Mr. PH ILLIPM seconded the noon solos. 14. R. B. Ha ILVLY nominated Captain C. J. B. Hamilton (termer)) member for Aylesbury), and Mr. B. Brox a waeamrse the proposition. Mr. Chine eapremed himself diseetialied with both the cemdidalea, nalther of whom had given the slightest intim • Men of their political principles. [A Voice • ' They have set pst had the opportunity.' ] He spoke of what they had put brined in their addresses. One said he warn of the same pelltice es his tether, which unfortunately were not very del. eltro—(. ham, boar" and • laugh)— while the other referred le eight years' service, which ill-health, he believed—(" No," frees emends liamUton)— reduced to • very few mouths. There vine various gamins of importance la roped le which be aceOt soma explanation ought to to gime, (Ham, bra.) First 88 to India, which he thought If it hod barreerlsea, would be now gonrad, and not kft W aogtroWd and quiet. Then wee the church-rate question, aed until that was settled dimity, end without compromise, there would be no mar in Zir. These were eatfiems upon which the m.dittes blexpleie their views. It might be said that the rates were part of the law of the land, but so once woe nailing • man's ear to the church door because he did not conform to • particular theological doctrine. He saw no reason why he should be mud for the soap to yeah the parson's surplice —(s lengb)—and though church rates were lawful, they wire there to elect a gentleman who would try to repaid bed hewn, mad be wanted to know whether the candidates, co giber of them, would vote for the total re , peal of church rates? Then would they vote for 1 tie bill to admit the Jews to parliament? Again, they understood that the government contemplated a Reform Bill. He wanted to know what were their views about that Tire ' lbw. How ter were they prepared so go ? Would they sup port a reduction la th e county &neckties and the reduct ive of the borough froneldee to a 61. qualification? Were they pre pared to airport as idiot ? (Cheers and inter, option.) He we. sot is favour of universal suffrage, for the line moat be dews onotrennee; but he would give to every man of common ease, every hardworking honest man, the right to vete, mod thet be thought might be effected by a R. galifi ot DM the onmetitutecies would never be fairly repre sented until they had the protection of the ballot. He had wet labeided to prepree a candidate, but if it was thought he ought le do so, be would name one who we. well known to them all, but whom be had not coneulted—Acton Tindele, Eoq., the clerk of tie peace. (Lend laughter, in which the clerk of the peace heartily joined.) Mr. Bo 4W asociaded tie notalnation, and amid a atom of impatient interruption we. understood to speak in favour of the ballot and extended The Bumf., having a rkif there was any other candi date to be peepeeed, en there being no reepocure, lb. W. O. CATINDISH, who 1111/ loudly cheered by his party, mid It we. his intention, if returned, to give le the governeasot an exegetic end an independent sup port. It must net he torrents that Lord Palmerston's go vernment came Inie sax at • time dgres t national &spun dairy. We were *pea la • gwmld ble war, and it it only due to that government a tank that they brought that war to a favourable termitiatiet. (Mess, bar.) Again, in the extraordinary and unpmeeinned pakten of affairs in India, I think we must ',aft edit list Lied Palmerston's go vernment have aided with poi _Apar sad energy, while their policy at home hem bees =Ad by • deeleica which I Mare to be cundierdee be the but biaresta et the country. (Chows.) I Mee bees semi qweetimed wpm the subject of church retie; and to every web= pot to me I. reference to it I have inveriablp given this answer—that I intend to vote ter the teed ebeiltoon of church ratan (Loud cheers, and a Vets" Thee b • slipper, tioaditen.") With regard to the bellet, I erne& at mewl my thee I should be to support test amosee.

(Cheery.) Therefore I hove is the question that has been put to me on this point, that yes by your votes give me an admission to purlincoent se yew member, I shall vote in favour of the measure for ad miring the Jews. (" Hear, hear," and a laugh.) The next gemlike which I em asked for en en...nation upon ie neform. (Ham, hear.) Now, with regard to reform, I must find Imirewilmt the reform bill is that is to be sub mitted to me beim I an pledge myself either to support it or vote against it. (Cheers and laughter) Therefore, if you will be Mod enough to seed me to parliament I will attend in my plate, me whet the bill le, sad then I shall be able to judge whetheeft le likely, la my opinion, to be beneficial, and whether er met I ought le support it. (Cheers.) I arum byou I have bees much lettered at hearing myself described yan hos. friend sear mem • practical farmer. Agriculture, Indeed, has always been my pursuit, as it has always been my fancy. I have given to it es much attention as I could, and if you will do me the hamar to return me to parliament— (A Voice—. You may be sure of that")—l shall always en deavour to promote the welfare of the agricultural interest of the country, and the Intsreet of the county of Buckingham in earticalar. (Cheers.) Captain Hautt.ron tat came forward and was rested with load chews from his supporters, and Memo and cries of —(m How your inoustaches grow")—trons his oppcsente. Ana, shading to • flew personal matter., he odd— ity damn he. parlianiaat, to which Mr. Oibbs referral, wsa not to be attributed to soy illness, but to the fact that I was fulfilling a very important public duty at Florence, where my brother at the time wee ambassador, and if you will refer to the file of the Deily News of 1549 or 1850 you will find that journal stating that If Lord Palmerston would abandon the forms of routine and appoint Charles Hamilton minister at Flommos, he would be doing the best parable thing for the country. (A voice—. What dui it cost you to get that in the Daily News 7') It cost me nothing. I did not know any one connected with the paper, and I never gave • farthing to get it inserted, but that journal did write me teiat the time, because it is an independent paper. a political opponent of Lord Palmerston, I should desire nothing better tau that he should be called upon to give me a character. I have had more correspondence with Lord Palmarstoa than any gentleman present. Ima net comparing myself with him, bat I must over speak of him in terms of the highest respect. (Cheer., and a Yoke— " What did you get for going to Florence ?") I never had a single shilling of the public money, although I worked hard kw tins or kw yeare—(bear, hear)—during which thee I w t. esnalamt esmumaication with Lord Palmereton ; std, If I ma rotassed a year representative, I promise you that I will sever weep a farthing of the public money, sad that I will never sak • favour from any government tt i atzulbe hs (Oh, oh() I know it is di ff icult to costatituency that any man comes forward independently; bat I assure you that my sole aim sad motive in coming for ward to-day is to redeem • pledge which I hare given to tbe tenant farmers of this county, and to show that I ma not anforgetful of favours received or services afforded to me when I was • candidate for the representation of Aylashetry. (Cheers.) I ham already stated that It was not my wish to represent the county; I never had that soh& tins, but if the tenant femme say" We will have • can didata of our own, and we choose Captain Hamillea," Captain Hamilton will poll the lent man. (Cheers.) I do not put myself forward se a patent independent minim ; but I claim that independence for myself which I would wish my constituent. to exercise. (Hoar, hear.) The gentleman who proposed Tindal said that neither of the oandtdates had poverty proclaimed their political opinion.. There is no &- a it-1 speak for myself only—that I did not. The foot hi It is not wool to do so in an addrem. But I elated that I should be happy to ewer any questiona on the hustings, which I consider the proper place. I announced to you in my sddeem that I was a conservative. I went • con eervatire to parliament. 1 forget the year, but I am afraid it was in PIN, and I in not one to change side.. (Hear, hear.) Ido sot, directly or indirectly, amino any gentleman for doing so, because I believe there may be oocadons when, from courietitm, gentlemen may lind it neoeseary and right to ohmage their political views. But I be lieve that is generally moot destructive to the intanses of the country. Some bars thought that what we mist Is es amalgamation tit Whigs and Tories. Now, I ad mit that to see these two parties, as Cobbett used to say, fighting over the bog hough, I. very disgracefuL Dot, as a general principle, I believe it fa sa essential even to We liberty of the country as for political Integrity, that them should be a strongly marked line of denatucatem between the two parties. lam mortared if 1.13 ca you break down the limiters of party, you will open the door to a great deal of political roguery.

(Cheers and disapprobation.) But there la no gentleman present, not even Mr. Gibbs himself, who can say more emphatically than I do—not in the way of brawling, but in troth end reality—what I said when I came forws4 and what I my now, that I am a friend to civil and re ligious liberty.

I have given you my answer. Nothing would pleme me better than to see this question settled. Ido not wish any injury to the dissenters, any more than I do to the church establishment, but I can honestly promise not only that I will "give my attention"—which la a very con venient phrase—bat that I will do my u tmost to settle that question on ouch a basis o no class of hu Majesty's mullein can find fault with.

Well, next, it is said I have given no dis tinct pledge on the subject of the Jews. Considering that the gentleman who makes the complaint is connected with a newspaper, I should have thought he would have known that I have already voted for the admission of the Jews to parliament. (Cheers.) I am glad some of you have forgotten it, for you hauled me over the coal, for it pretty well at Aylesbury at the time. The Jewish question not being then as papuly as it is now, I ran a great risk of losing my seat through that vote. I believe the father of my honourable opponent was one of thou who left the house and did not vote. I do not mean to blame him— Sir Robert Peel and many others did the same; but I was one of a minority who did support the Jews on the occasion of • petition from Mr. Salomons, end I was pretty roughly handled In COLINVIaarti. (Hear, hear.) You must not—l address myself particularly to the 'onus vatires—you mast not expect me now to oppose the Jews, seeing that I voted for them when I was in parliament be fore. If I thought that the admission of the Jews to parlia ment could in any way endanger the institutions of the country, in church and state, I would be the first to oppose it. (Hear, hear.) I sgree with the hon. baronet (Sir H. Verney) that there is no such danger. I never heard of • Jew endeavouring to make proselytes—they do not interfere much in politics and from the eta:imams we have in the neighbourhood, good they do ea pisctical fermis sad neighbours is se unbounded as it Is undoubted. (Chasm.) I do not my this for the purpose of catching • stray vote— it may loss me entne—l say it because it is my honest conviction. Well, having disposed of that, I come to the next question. Is Captain Hamilton in favour of the ballot P No. (Cheers.) Is Captain Hamilton for universal suffrage? We are not come to that yet, but I know that If we had =Primal suffrage and the ballot, Captain Hamilton would on Saturday neat be knight of this shire. (Cheers and loud laughter.) But if you ask me whether I will vote for the ballot and universe! suffrage, I my, No. lam not one of those who deny that reforms must advance with the In telligente sad the prosperity of the people—and any man who entertains any doubt about that is not the man to send to parliament as • member for this county. What my opinions on reform are it is difficult to my—(laughter) ; but I believe I go quite as far as my hon. opponent, for be le far too conservative in his opinions to agree to any dan gerous measure of change. If intelligence advances as ft is now doing, and if you now give a vote to every U. house holder, what right have you to stop abort of universal suffrage? I see not advocating universal suffrage, I know It to be perfectly absurd, but I want to show how difficult it is to reply to that argument. If you look only at the neutral right of man, you cannot stop short of saying—has not every man • right to vole But U you are to take property se a limitation, then it is Mi ra.: for me to mylion fah I will go in reform when no BM in be me. (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, you have hued what I lam to say, I offer myself at • cheap rate. If you will e.nly give memo vote eeoh on &Mr day, I promise to repay you by many honest and independent votes—as Musa and independent se those of any man who ' salts trimnif a aural. Of this be armed, that I will never sell either my votes or your hawed. (land cheers.) Mr. DICK VIS wished to ask the gallant captain whether he would support the continuance of the Maynooth grant, who- thee he would rue against all grants of the public money for religious endowments—whether he would vote for the &boll- Son of the power of the East India Company, and the placing the government of India under the direct control of the Bri tish parliament; and reminding the hon. candidate that when in parliament before, he voted for the opening of the British Museum and other public places of amassment on Sundays, inquired whether, if returned, he would repeat that vote P Captain HAMILTON, u 0118 who had always been a gnat Irian, of order, suggested that the question should first he put to his opponent. (" Hear," and laughter.) Mr. Dickem then put the question's seriatim to Mr. Cavan dish—Will you vote for the discontinuance of the Mar nootk endowment I.—Answer Yee, I will. Captain HAMILTON—CID you vote for the abolition el that endowment r T Analser Yes. To Mr. Cavendish—Will yon rote against all grants of the public. money for religions endowments P—Awn The answer to that qtastion is lam:dyed la the ?Mar. Captain Hsu!

After our report left yesterday the motion of Mr. Jones was withdrawn, and the resolution propreed by Mr. Lewin pat mid negatived. Mr. Lewin handed in a notice of motion for the nut court, " That it is expedient this court should reconsider the ground. on which an annuity of 6,0001. a year was grunted to the 'Marquis of Dalhousie. and consider whether the recent events are not to be attributed to the mune of con duct pureued by the Marquis of Dalhousie." The Cu‘IRKAN leaked the mart whether he ought to re ceive such a notice . the pension had been granted to Lord Naomie with all the form required by the act of parliament and meld not be withdrawn. He asked the court to support has Lu refusing to receive such a notice. Mir. LEWIN protested against the despotic conduct of the chairman. Ho did not wish to Home l,rd Dalhousie nor to take away his pension; he believed if he had been in India his energy would have put down the mutiny, but he wished to have the grounds on which the pension was grunted re-oonsidevid. If the notice via not received he would consider whether meadamus would not force them to do so. . . _ ?dr. Jox TA moved that the Irsel adviser be sated whether the chairman had power to reject the notice. After some further discussion, Tho CHAIRMAN put the queetion—whether the notice be received, and it was decided in the negative. Mr. D.

The annual meeting of the friends and supporters of this aerociation took place on Monday evening in the Man chester Town-hall. The Lord Bishop of MANCUESTIX pre sided, sad on the platform were the Rev. Canon Hickson, Mr. J. A. Turner, M.P., Mr. J. Simon, of the General Board of Health, Sir J. L. Sudsier, M.D., Rev. Canon Stowell. Rev. W. ()oaken, &c. The Right Rev. CHAIRMAN expressed Wm greet regret at the absence of Lord Stanley, who was prevented from attending by his engegernenta in connexion with the Cam bridge Unrawsity C 011110,4011. He (the Bishop) had derived sincere and unnamed gratification from perusing the ram miner's report. This association commenced about Sys years ego, and had slowly, quietly and unostenta tiously progressed, working good in every respect--bon in the manner and spirit in which items conducted, in the remits pee diked, and in the gratifying fact of persona of different reli gious denomination, and different political opinion. meeting together for the common object ed muting the public good. There was also shown the pYg circumstance of men of science and others meeting {w devoting pa tuitoualy their time, their talent, end their experience to the preservation of the public health ; end the other circumstance of the wealthier inhabhanta of giving their sympathy and assistance to their pewee neigh bours. He braised the mere sanitary operations of this society were only the smallest part of its seefalneme. We might repel the great scourge of cholera, which not long mince carried of in a single yew 18,099 olareonnie the wire polls alone • we might endeavour to drain large districts, and render entail more healthy, and assist the small peoprktor to improve his house or lend; but he belMved the bringing together of all cleans of society In one common in terest to promote the public health, and thereby the public morality, and the public feeling of reli gion, would be ono of those things mainly due to the labours of this association, if it pursued its course aright. (A lase.) He could not too strongly express his gratitude tothe corporations of Manchester and Salford for the part they had talon in promoting the great object of the maceration. There wire fair thing. more hintructive and creditable than the minutes .f the proceedings of those bodies, as showing what they were endeavouring to do for the well being of those whom the rep Laudable and ea rn est as were the attempts , they were made to a certain ex tent under constraint, by on who acted as guardians of the interesta id the ratepayers. The Manchester and Salford Sanitary Association came in es an intermediate link to point out to the ratepayers, judiciously, where they may demand and authorise an increased expenditure, and guarantee their willingness to bear additional burdens for the prospect of greeter additional good; and be trusted that the steps which had been taken by this association would have their proper effect in warn ing, assuring and encouraging the corporation to go on fearlessly in the good work which they had thus far sawn steely undertaken and carried out. Though mach had been don, much yet remained to do. The attention of the society during the past yew had been celled to several moat Import ant ponds, and amongst them he would especially allude to the state of the great rivers whkb formed the main sewer see of Manchester. He would ask the people of Manchester if, having shown their liberality, their taste, their earnest desire to make their city whet it ought to be, in the splendid erections in front of the Infirmary, they were willing to let the front of their cathedral—that church which, however it might be associated in the minds of some who did not en tertain the sentiments which were preathed there, yet still must be dear to every Idancter man as the old church of Manchester (cheers)—would they allow It still to be fronted by the stinking ditch—he could call it nothing better, which attempted to flow, or rather attempted to rani_ along every sort of im purity and filth in its current? What must be the feeling@ of traveller.. detained, ea they frequently wen for a few minutes, before entering the Victoria station at Manchester, on the bridge over the Irk, and compelled to inhale its peed • knife] vapours ? Or was it worthy of the people of Men chatter that they should allow the continence of thee kW spectacle immediately beneath the institution erected by the liberality of Bishop Oldham for the education of their youth He Widened from allusion to other things of the manikin, ' but they were point. to which attention ought to be directed. What had been the enpeoditure attendant on the really eel enterale results of the efforts of this association He found that 3641. had been collected, end what they had done had cost 2811, or thereabouts. If so much had been done at this small expenditure, what might not be expected as the legitimate result of the efforts of the association—efforts worthy of the great community in which it waited ? Those who had bed eeptarance could date the direct result* of sanitary improvement there. They would speak, in the impressive language of one of ara the in : =te rn , diff usi ng aces theoif sewerage open in W r pestilential miasma sit around. But there was one point to which he felt entitled to call atten dee—there was one plague-spot which he felt called upon to speak of, trusting that then who heard him world give, by the expression of their feelings to-night, and their Influ ent* abroad, their instruction to the =pored= that it be lnuesdistely removed; and that was, the result date lm pen state of one part, at least, of their community. A kw months since it was his privilege to sanction the efforts of a few liberal gentlemen who chose to place, at their own expense, a minister of religion of the church of England in a district provisionally teemed, not far from the Town-hall. What was the result of their evarninati;noltis; coniati 0; of that dietrThei t Then were 771 houses, about 612 of them inhabited, and if he mistook not, there were amongst these 49 beer-houros, 52 houses of ill-fame, 28 lodging-houses, 5 cellar lodging-houses, and also no We than 158 cellar dwellings. Woukl the people of Manchestsr permit that to go on'? Would they, in Chris tian, civilised England, at this present time, w he n we had crashed, under God's blessing, by our energise, that northern tyrant in the east ; when we were recovering and re-occupying our Indian empire by the splendid and chival rous devotion of the handful of men left there . . --(eheeTs)—when we were about to lay the hand at the strong man on the paltry and ignorant tyrant who had dared to defy us at Canton— would they suffer this canker-Teem to gnaw at their heart at home P In another district of this great town, the sta tistics of which had been faithfully reported to him, and than which none was more carefully watched, more judiciously, earnestly, and prayerfully supervised—there were 1,318 houses, 1,687 families, 7,002 inelividuals, and of these there were 563 families who never attended any place of worship. Why did he mention these things in connexion with this se sociation Because he believed that, if permitted to carry out its work, if duly supported, it would enable the minister of religion to go from house to house visitinii, and would in troduce a kindlier feeling between the higher and lower classes of society, and would contribute, by multiplying the minitters of religion and the means of grace, to draw ing the people together, not in the tiunultons, piny assembly of strangers, but in the comfortable, Wm, quiet, and religious congregation. He believed it would engender a kindlier feeling between man and man ; he believed it would not merely produce the means of rioter health and comfort, but indirectly the means of ti:6lwealth and greater means of subsistence ; and he he 18' U would lead the people on, improving them in their physical condition, ansobft them in their moral condition, and, through Clots grace, raising there in their spiritual condition to be wrathy servants of their Maker. The meeting yea subsequently addressed by Dr. It. A. Smith, Mr. Turner, M.P., Mr. Cawley, C.E., end Mr. Simon; and resolutions were passed in conformity with the objeots of the association. PARLIAMENTARY REPRESENTATION OP MARGATE.

Sandwich also did the same; why, then, should Margate be excluded from • similar privilege I if they could not get two mem bers, be should like to me them get one, and conjointly with the Me of Thanet if they could not get it alone. He could only hope that the result of thin movement would be the attainment of the object they desired. Mr. WOODWARD agreed with a great deal that had fallen Sum Mr. Caveler, but thought they ought to make their movement for the whole country, •• well se for themselves, and shouldilike the meeting to petition for electoral district.. Some further discussion ensued, in which Mr. D %VIM moved, and Mr. FLINT seconded, an amendment to the 'Sect that the meeting should petition that " two members should be given to the Isle of Thane, such members to be returned on the borough qualification." This amendment, however, was ultimately withdrawn, and the original motion carried mutinously. A committee was se:l r v:rated to some, oat the same, and the =Miss then adj 'OPENCE.

There bad been a partial re sumption of work, bat it is followed by a fresh turn-out. At °mills the numbers at work are reduced to some fifty or slaty. The little coal produced goes to the yard, or is sold ea the spot. On Monday the few men employed in preparing for altar( at Bwllfs colliery waited on Mr. Lewis to cot:a phis of the threats at violence made use of to them by the men an strike, and to say that they could no longer continue to work la the Ism of the imprecations hanging over their heads. This Is • bad feature in the strikes, but it only de monstrates bow impossible it is for ill-advised and mischiev ous movements of this kind to be carried on long with per fect good order. The hon. member for Merthyr, Mr. Bruce, has started himself in a most praiseworthy meaner to enlighten the col liers and bring them to some comprehend on of the extree: cf e e f . o2 of their conduct; but It semen he has been WWII At the large meeting of the colliers on Ifirenrin Common, lAA Satur da y, the leading spirits of the strike attempted to justify their conduct by reasons which do, in some instances, deserve to be noticed. The appeal of one of these collier orators to the consciences of his listeners—his urging than to ask their own covariance' whether they . were paid too highly for their work before the reduction -11 certamly not a strictly logical or demonstrative method of argument ; but when one of them contends that the mere advance of the rate of interest front five to ten per cent. should not have caused the reduetion of wages fifteen per cent., there is some appearance of reason in It. Indeed, we are diapered to that the reduction of fifteen per cent. in the rages all at once was not the mod wise plan: If such a :eduction was found necessary in the end, a smaller one might, we think, have with more propriety been made to begin with. However, it is not improbable that a reduction of only 10 per cent. would not have proved a sufficiently moderate course to keep the colliers from complaining end rebelling. It is a very diffi cult matter, even though people's • consciences" are ap pealed to4end even though they are the consciences of greater folks than colliers—to get a decision entirely in ac cordance with sober reason, when the question so much affecta ike pocket. The colliers are themselves the most severe soiree by the strike, and they must needs be so. While they might be earning wages superior to those of artisans in many of our large towns who consider themselves well paid, they are obstinately choosing to undergo instead a pitiful martyrdom of starvation.

SUPPOSED MURDER IN NORFOLK.—A few days ago some particulars were given in the .press respecting the discovery of some rmaMe at Middleton, Norfolk, which were thought to to those of Mr. John Bell, who disap peared from that place about eight years ago, and who it is now supposed was murdered. The adjourned inquest took plats yesterday at Middleton, before Mr. Wilbur, district earner. Many witnesses were examined, but their evidence was principally of a conjectural character, and nothing posi tive was ascertained. A mum was produced, which was identified as having furemely belonged to Mr. Bell. A wit ness, named Cothran, deposed that while at work at Middle ton fa November, 1849, heard a great deal of scuffling and greasing neer the place where the remains hare been found, and afterwards, when Ms. Bell was missed, the witness men tioned the circumstance to two persons, but nothing more specific arose out of this witness's testimony. The coroner, in ugggseesuu• an adjournment, referred to the statement made by C ell• which by said was exceedingly important, and he believed they were on the threshold of a startling in q*y. He w , sh a d it to be publicly known that at the time Mr. Bell distrpeared—and there could be no doubt that he had been fiv.ify murdered—bills had been issued offering • reward of 2201. for the conviction of the guilty pereon cm Meson/. He should cause those bills to Le reissued, sad ad journ the inquiry for • fortnight.
