The nomination being filed for this day (Tuesday), at twelve o'clock the High Sheriff, accompanied by the _largest number of gentlemen we ever saw together in Somersetshire, entered the hustings. There could scarcely be less than from 8,000 to 10,000 persons present in the square by the Hotel, by which the hust ings were erected. The Rev. lignay Gazorwitu. presented himself to address the frerholJers, when Mr. Diczuesos said that he claimed on his own F art, and that of the fr,eholders, the right of his friends to priority, as he was the oldest mtmber. Mr. Hoare said, that the House being dissolved, there was now no member, and thus, as the first candidate, be had a right to claim vottction for bis The Huns Sneaurr said, that without entering into the question of right, he thoogh i t practice and courtesy should secure precedence to WIC Diciinsun s friends. Colonel ilomt proposed, and Ilir. PIIILLTei seconded, the nonii 'nathin of 4r. Dickenson, who expressed himaelf favourable to a revision of the Corn Laws, and, though an owner of West India property, friendly to the extinction of Slavery, if done safely, aid with even-handed justice. Sir Josikilawirtam proposed;and Mr. Hamm seconded, Sir T. Lethbridge's nomination. Sir Taunus LETKIBRIOOI, in acknowledging the honour proposed to be again conferred on him, noticed that he bad been accused of not canvassing the Comity. He would tell the individual who bad said so why he bad not canvassed the County; not because he was wasting in respect for the County, but because he had none for that person. He should have thought it an insult to the county to canvass it with such an opponent in the field. The Rev. E. Casswet.t., brother to the candidate for Taunton, nominated Mr. Hunt. Mr. Ouvita HATWASD rose to second the nomination. When asked," Who are you ?" he said, " Oliver Hayward, of Madford, and am neither ashamed to give my name, nor to show my face." Mr. HUNT then stepped forward and addressed the electors at great length. He charged Sir Thomas Leth- bridge with having caused Sir Francis Burdett to be sent to the Tower ; and said he (Mr. Hunt) had, during the investigation into the abuses in Ilchester, proved before the Magistrates at the Quarter Sessions, that great plunder had been committed upon the pockets of the people in the assessment of the county rates. He proved that the gaoler of Ilchester prison had been instrumental, in a high.degree, to the system by which the people of Somerset had been robbed. Mr. Harming had beard it all, and was convinced of the accuracy of what he stated. [Here Mr. Hunt told the particulars of a case in which 800 pairs of shoes had been made by piton labour, and never been accounted for in the Treasurer's books, although delivered ,to the gaoler, who, he had also proved, was in the habit of purchasing delicacies professedly for the use of sick prisoners, but really for.his own]. There were 100 charges of this de scririon against these jockeys, but he complained in vain. He had an unexceptionable authority about him to prove that the ceunty money, to the amount of. 6,4464 was dd.:lent in the last year's accounts • that in fact it had bee whelly unaccounted for.—(dries' df " Shame r and immense tumult.) He had got the warrants of the Traysnrer in his possession. The constable who had handed them him was ready to srami forward and prove they were correct. Mr. Hunt then pointed out the omission of 4461. in one 'quarter's account, and the omission of the whole account of another quarter. Al lan to the other. Candidates, Mr. Hunt obs:rved, they ha 4 seid a great deal about the necessity of pas seising landed property as an indispeosable reqnisite in the representation of a county. NOw l GOD knew, that he believed not one of the three of , them (Sir T. Leth bridge, Mr. Dickinson, and himself) was overburdened v nth tidies. (Laughter.) He believed, however, that he was himself the best off of the three,for of the little property he possessed he had the title deeds. They never lad been mortgaged yet, which he was sorry to say was' , 7 of the case of his worthy brother Candidates. Mr. Dscrtssom rose in evident pain from his chair, and declared that this atatement of Mr. Hawes was, with respect to him, a most outrageous misrepresentation, as not use atom of his estate had ever been inortgaged.:—(Caies of N Shame, shame," and great tumult.) Mr. ilunr, as soon as the noise bad subsided, said he had been assured by common rumour that that was the case ' • but certainly report was often a Use, and. indeed, it had l o ft en bee n proved so in his owe cue. He next adverted to his trade of blackleg manufac turer, and said dial the other candidates were engaged in a much blacker trade than his. After vituperating both the candidates, and smiting many things which were contradicted, be sat down amidst immense cheering, and cries et a Huai for ever." A good deal of Wang and greasing, and laughter, also accompanied the termina tion of bis address. _ _ Mr. Lorinsumea (a he young man, the sett e I Sr Thomas) said, had Mr. Hunt been qualified to represent them, it could not be ender, d that that inidaal should be elected, as be cam forward backed by such a scan as Mr. Creswell, who had not performed his clerical duke properly. At present he did not think k neces sary to go farther into the subject. Mr. Castaway. challenged him to prime t h e utiles:4er any other fault attending the performance of his professional dudes. He was able and willing to write a sermon against any Clergyman or any Bishop in •Ifinglaa4—( Loud laughter, and tries of. SID you are). Sr T. Lavnuainnn said, he excused his sea's impetuosity, upon the /round that greatprovecation had been received. It was natural fora child to exhibit disgust and in d when his parent was reviled. He defended his conduct in Pa,Saseot, and accused Mr. Hensel bevies come to the hustings with a falsehood on his tongue end in his heart; it eras, be said, fake to state that the county money had been misapplied or unaccounted for. He concluded by solemnly asserting that be had always acted independently. The Salaam then called open the Meeting to make tbek elec tion. Hands were then held up fee each of the candidates. The Sheriff declared that the election fell spat Mr. Dickinson and Sir T. Lethbridge. Mr. Hoar—l demand a pod. Gentlemen, you'll all come to Ilchater ea bloaday.—Tlie Meeting then separated.

The Tory candidates are only regarded as the instruments by which the freemen can express their disapprobation of Mr. Ellice: " No Ellice' is the cry ottke party; but as for Fyler and Heatbcote, " no man cries' God save them."' Tstrasoav Drama, Sex o'Ccocc.—Messrs. Moore and Ellice have gained a majority for the first time of about 100 on the day's poll; but are still 600 behind. The tide of public opinion is eons pletely changed, and the enthusiasm in their favour is as great as ,their unpopularity was on their entering the town. ' A body of respectable Quakers, who had never before interfered, came up to poll fur them in the course of the day, and the numbers of the new candidates appeared nearly exhausted. Opinion still differs as to the result; but if Messrs. Heatheote and Fyler obtain their large return, the party opposed to them, which consists of almost every respectable person in the city, have determined to petition, on the ground of the violence and obstruction given to the poll by the mob of the Corporation, and the partiality and miscon duct of the Sheriff.

Esq. proposed Mr. Fellevres,"l,l4, be °h eaved, was a Gentleman who bad represented them twenty years, and during that time had never done any thing to tarnish his honour. He had proved himself a steady and sincere friend to the farmer. The motion being seconded, Mr. Fe owes came forward to address them, bat was received with persevering hisses. The outcry continued, and at last Mr. F. after challenging any one to impeach his public character, retired. H. P. &Amin Req. proposed Lord John Russell ; and the mo tion bein second e d by J. B. Roper, Iraq. • Lord Joan Russ= came forward. He complained that there had been a combination of live individuals of great property to exclude him from the county. He would frankly tell them that his opinion was, that the present Corn Laws required alteration, as they did not admit of foreign importation till corn had obtained a famine price. With respect to the Catholic Question, he was friendly to it, nor did he believe that it would in the least endanger ear Established Church. Lord MILTON advanced and ',delivered a most powerful which Weekend with the greatest attentloa,in favour of Lord John. General Gamow then proposed Lord Mandeville! The motion was seconded, and Lord Mandeville advanced to declaie his senti ments ; but such was the violence, hooting, and shouting, that pre vailed, that nothing could be beard.

He (Mr. L.) opposed no man. He came forward to tweed fors prise to which they all had a right to aspire; bat he must repeat that he opposed no man. Mr. Lemnos spoke at cocsiderable length, and entered into a detailed account of the public conduct of T. W. lieaumoat,Esq. and taxed him with the greatest inconsistency. Th e Rev. Mr. Bun said, the man that drew up the requisition did not know English, nor cool& he speak any other language with propriety. He reprobated Mt. Laminae's hated with the contest. Sir M. W.
