He (Colonel White) again dema nded that Mr. Hamilton should with draw the exprreion which hail fallen from him. The explanation must be clear and unqualified. Mr. lIAM tLT ox mild, as ('olonel White had stated, that lie had Warr aceneed him (Mr. H.) of directly proposing a coalition, he •would withdraw the observation he had made. This did not satisfy Colonel White, who insisted that the expression • a lie' should be formally retracted. It was withdrawn by .Ir. Hamilton, who then proceeded to Redress the electors. From the noise which prevailed, we were not able to follow him through his address. He pledged I himself to support the trade, commerce. and fisheries of the coun try.

GRATTAN (M.P.) next Admin! the meeting in a very talented display of oratory, in which he adverted to the public and private conduct of the father of the present candidate. Mr. White, who had supported his cherecter for honesty, independence, and in tegrity to the last hour of his existence. (Cheers.) In one of the elast 'Civello' that gentleman had ever uttered, he stated that he had worked bimeelf upwards to wealth and Independence, and that it should be left to his children to support that independence. He called upon the electors to support Mr. White, and also Colonel Talton. whose crnduet as their Representative had been marked by consistency and undeviating attention to the interest of the country. Mr. Grattan went at great length to chew the im polity of supplanting two Members whose opinions were expressed, for the purpose of trying the merits of an experimental Cendidate• who had not pledged hitneeTf to any line of political conduct. In adverting to the subject of (Air play, which he saw placarded in broad letters on the Court-heuse, he wished to mention, by way of corollary. a circumstance which had taken place at the Cavan elec. flan. Mr. Soutliwell, who, like the pre-ent Chief Justice of Ire land. had bound himself to pay the debut of his father, was allowed • ) pell up to the Saturday before the election had commenced, when the Rank of Ireland. who were in possession of securities of h < to the amount of 2.0)0/., attempted to take possession of his property by eustodiam, and also to arrest his body, through the medium of an execution, which was actually sent down to lord Farnham, who refused to have any thing to do with it. The best security hi the county was offered, and refused, in order to prevent lllr.S(outhwell from canvassing. This was a specimen of what " fair play" meant. He also begged to contradict an assertion which had appeared in the public prints, as to his having dated on the hustings of the city of Dublin ' that the Lord Chancellor had prepared Mr. Moores health, on his coming to a certain Club. rontu from the York Club, which was known to be an Orange So. ciety. This he distinctly denied. He had Dever made the SSW. Alen, but trimly asked the question as to the fact. to which, per- Imes, through the uproar which ensued, he received no answer. Mr. Grattan then concluded, by exhorting the freeholders to sup port their tried friends, and not to expend their votes on any expe timental Candidate. Mr. Bonet, K. C. and Mr. L PLI:NEETT addressed t he dee top from the front gallery, in favour of the liberal candidates. The Rev. Mr. KEOGH being seen in the front gallery, was loudly called on to come forward. Ile accordingly obeyed the cell. etd came to the front of the gallery—his appearance was the *signal for general and enthusiastic cheer& As POOR as the applause had somewhat subsided, the Rev. Gentleman then addressed the meeting in the moat impressive manner, and was heard through (.at with breathless attention. He spoke, as well as we could col. leer, as follows :-31r. Sheriff; my attendance here this day was occasioned by that natural curiosity which exists in the breast of man to witness proceedings of vital interest to the liberties and in dependence of his native country. i came here merely ass private noectator, without any Intention to take a part in the debate, but I have now come forward in obedience to the almost unanimous voice of this meeting, to deliver my sentiments. I am. Sir, a Catholic Priest, but I stn proud that my countrymen alaorecognise me in the character of a pstttot ; and while. as the minister of religion, I die ()large the eicred dutieaof my office, I possess in Irish heart. that bests responsive to the liberties of my country. ICheers.)— I am the follower of nix who. while he preached •• peace on earth, to amen good will." also wept over the desolation of Jeruealem, because it las the place of his birth. I therefore do rot hesitate to say, that I am animated with feelings of patriotism, and that my bosom glows with anxiety for my country's good. But strong es three feelings arc, I would not have attempted to address you here this day. were I not called upon, and if I have done eroeg, blame yourselves. (Chem.) As I have already said, 1 came nere mere), as an auditor, you have made me a partici. pone in the proceedings. One of the Candidates first proposed has been the tried friend of your liberty and your rights. For forty veers he has fought your battles: he has grown grey in your ser 'Vice. The tongue of eslumny has never presumed to attach time slightest stain to his character. He stands forward the man of pelneipte, of purity. and patriotism. You know how to manifest Irish gratitude, and I am sure you will do your duty. He has been taunted with his poverty; that is the a rongest claim sewn your support and gratitude. Why is it that he is pax! I'll tell you—because for the period of six and thirty years re never swerved trots the line of duty. Such is Colonel Telhot. (Great applause.) With respect to another candidate, Colonel White, he it was who came forward on a former occasion to support the independence of your country—you elected him then liter a great and arduous contest; you sent him to defend rine liberties—has he done hie duty ? If he has done his duty, now do port discharge pour duty. (Immense applause.) Prove to the 11 1 / 2 . freeholders you cannot be bribed ; if :ou be men, that your hearts beat responsive to the liberties or your country, and that as much genuine patriotism and real independence may be found under the frieze of the poor man, as has ever been witnessed under the robes of the Sovereign. (Great cheers.) I call upon every forty.ehilling freeholder present as a Catholic, to give his vote for the liberty 'and benefit of hit country, and above all, for the benefit of his religion. Mr. Keogh sat down amid immense eppleuse. el r. Levers& in a neat and eery approrniatc speech, addressed the 'Clever. in favour of the old Members. His address was re. rived with shouts of applause, after which the lourt adjourned to tette day, when polling commenced. • 'Througheut the entire day we could scarcely hear a word, so ex tremely noisy was the aeseniblage ; our report is, theretore, not so ascurrte as we would wish. Indeed, from the total waut of accom. niedetion for the Gentlemen of the Press, it was next to impossible to take a note at all. But we understand the Sheriff' intends to make arrangements for the-ir accommodation by Monday. Some *sense epithets applied to Mr. Hamilton during the clay by the humbler class of freeholdees were very applicable. He was desired to ge to school ; asked why he did not bring his nurse with him, and many similar expressions, the repetition of which excited con e:Weenie laughter.

A very numerous fleeting of the Freeholders of the county took place on Monday. in the County Rooms there, for the purpose of electing a Knight of the Shire to serve in Parliament for the County of Edinburgh. The SHERIFF having taken the Chair, proceeded to read the writ directed to him, to elect a Member of Parliament for the County; thereafter the Act of Parliament against Bribery and . Corruption was read, and the Oath of Allegiance taken by the freeholders present. Sir GEORGE. CLERK, as Representative for the County in last Parliament, called over the roll as made up at Michaelmas Meeting after which Sir John Hope, Bart. of Pinkie (Convener of the County), was chosen Prescs, and Mr. James Wilson, Clerk to the Meeting. Some discussion then took place on the claim of Mr. Pitcairn, of Pitcairn, to be put on the roll of freeholders, in consequence of a defect in his titles. After some remarks firm the Sheriff and the Lord Advocate against the reception of the claim, and Mr. Walker, Advocate, and Mr. Cranstoun, W. S. in support of it, on the sug gestion of Sir John Hop; the claim was withdrawn for the present. The following names were added to the roll of freeholders, viz P. Murray, Esq. of Simprim; Thomas Kinnear, Esq. of Chester. hall; George !fiercer, Esq. of Dryden; Hon. Captain Mediu; Robert Adam Dundee, Esq.; Robert Allan, Kaq. of lAuriston. Mr. Downes, of Arniston, then rose, and addressed the Chair nearly to the fallowing dim visa to propose ii:at the free holders do again return Sir George Clerk as our Representative in, Parliament for this county. In doing so, you are placing your inte rests in the hands of au individual who has proved himself a tried friend, and whose Parliamentary conduct affords the best proof of his uniform attention to the interests of this county, and to the country at large. It is not my intention to enter into any culogium upon the merits of Sir George Clerk Itti a public man, neither is it necessary, nor could I venture to do so in his presence—nor need I mention his claims upon his constituents, farther than to notice that he has given his whole and undivided attention to the business of the county and of the empin:. It were useless to enter into any detail ot' the public acts of the Honourable Baronet; bat I must, in justice to hint, call your attention to his exertions in procuring the Act of Parliament for the equalization of weights and measures. The difficulties—i may say the impossibilities, which attended the accomplishment of this great desideratum, were considered by many great nen as insurmountable; but it was reserved for the talents and unwearied perseverance of the Representative of the eonnty of Mid-Lothian to overcome these obstacles. To him the country is therefore indebted for this measure—a measure for which future ages wiill bless and honour his memory. (Cheers.) I con sider it to be of thelutmost importance, at this crisis, that our Repre sentative should be a man on whom we can repo..e our utmost con fidence; and su:h is Sir George Clark ; he is a sine, re and tried friend. The duties of this Parliament will unquestionably be of far greater Importance to the country than any which luso been since the war ; and on the Represeutative we now return must de pend, in so far as we are interested, the prosperity and welfare of the empire. During last Parliament various alterations have been made in the Navigation and other Laws. There ix now 'a great experiment in progress, the result of which will fall to be decided in the ensuing Parliament. It is, therefore. of the utmost importance that our Representative should pos sess t h e confidence of his con- 'fitments and of his country. The manner in which the freeholders have come forward is an earnest of die hearty concurrence with which they place the great trust in the hands of their old and tried Representative. I shall not detain the Meeting longer, but merely propase dint Sir George llcrk be ag ai n e l ecte d R epresentat i ve in Parliament fur the county. Mr. Wauctiore, of Edmonstone, seconded the motion ; and the roll having been called, Sir George was declared to have been unanimously elected. Sir GEORGE CLERIC—Sir John Elope, and Gentlemen, I beg to return you my heartfelt acknowledgment for the honour you have conferred upon me, in again electing rue your Representative in Parliament No expressions of mine can do justice to the senti ments of gratitude I entertain for this additional mark of your kind ness. Your choice this day is the beat proof that my conduct in Parliament has niet with your approbation, which is in hull the highest reward any man in my situation can aspire to ; and it will call upon Me, any additional stimulus were necessary, to thew, by my future conduct, bow highly I value your favour and appro bation. No doubt there have been many ontissi.:ns on my part, which you have kindly overlooked. I can assure you, however. that it is not from any want of zeal that I have fallen into these omissions, but from an anxious desire to attend to my public ditty as your Representati , e. It would be idle for me to make profes sions as to my public conduct, or the political principles I enter- tain ; I am willing that these should be judged of by my past con_ tart. As to my political principles, I have adopted them on a full and mature consideration. as those best adapted for the interests oldie country ; and by these I ant willing to stand or fall. lam fully aware of the Importance of the subjects which will come under tile notice of Parliament, and which have been alluded to by my lion. Friend. Mr. Dundee (to whom I beg to return my warmest thanks for the very handsome manner he has come forward to pro.. pose me). I will approach to the consideration of these subjects, deeply impressed with their importance and an earnest desire to give such an honest vote as I believe will tend to the prosperity of the country. lam happy to think, that since I was last returned by you, the improvement and prosperity of the empire has been so progressive. At the same tune. I deeply deplore the distress that at present prevails in the manufacturing districts ; but I am glad to think that ft is not of so vgravat4 a nature as at one time was anticipated, and that it is not matnil with any of those acts of violence and insurrection which distinguished the period to which I have alluded. Indeed the conduct of the operatives has been mast exemplary, and calls loudly upon the wealthy part of the 1117 THE BRITISH PRESS. community to make every exertion to relieve *6ra/dress ; and., thank God that call has not been made in vain. I trust that the munif.cent example set by his Majesty, suet so conspicuously and promptly fallowed by the wealthy part of the ournentsnity, will prove to the suffering manufacturers, that they bad only to make their lege known to their more fortunate and wealthy countrymen, to frentre that relict which their wants required. It is a source of gratification that the present distress is of n temporary nature, as it does not proceed from any falling off' in the usual channels of consumption, or from the introduction into those of nny rival com petitor, but merely from the extraordinary quantity or manatee turn which were produced during a period when the spirit of spe culation, and consequent overproduction, prevailed so widely. This is a misfortune in trade which it is impossible at all times to Prevent. It is a nice question, nay, It is an impossibility, so to re gulate in such a country as the exact quantity of manufactures produced, as just to equal the demand—indeed, l believe, no prr manent remedy can be applied to this evil ; and I am much afraid .that the palliative which is sought for in an unrestricted trade in corn, ifadopted to ON full ex.ent, will ultimately tend to agg,ravree rather than lessen the evil. I do not say this frotn any desire to kelp up the tents of the landholder, burhxperience has proved that it is of importune we should insure a ptmluction of corn sueicient -foe the consumption of the county; for should it happen that we *ere to become dependent on a foreign country for our corn, then the sun of our political glory may be said to have set. I ant sure that this country can raise corn at a moderate price, so low as to enable the poor man to live with comfort ; and, though I sin aware that there are many objections to the present Corn Laws, and that they are sueceptible of great amendment.. I trust that the queston will soon be brought under the notice of Parliament, end be placed on • permanent bads. After all, it is of more consequence that the poorer Oases should have their bread at a fixed and moderate price. than run the risk of having it sometimes very cheap, and at other times extravagantly dear. There is one other subject which had excited great interest in the county of late, and being intrusted with a petition from you on the subject, the result of which I eats. not omit congratulating this country upon, namely the inquiry into the Currency and Banking system Of Fcotland, the result of which has proved on how solid • basis that system now stands—.and 'thews the advantages which are derived from a smell note currency and the system of cash credits.-41fter paying a high compliment to the Banking system of Scotland, tine to the thlents of thNe gentle men tutus scot.aod who had given evidence on the subject before the Committee lif are /Jou:scoff:Orono.% last session, he coucluded by again returning his warmest thanks for this farther instance of the favour and support of the freeholders of this county in again returning him to Parliankent. The meeting then broke up. In the evening Sir George Clerk entertained, in the elegant assembly room of the Britiod Hotel, about 120 nook:men and gentlemen connected with the county ; among whom we noticed Lord Viscount Melville, the Lord Justice Clerk, Lord 'Meadow bank, the Lord Chief Baron, Baron Clerk Rattray,the Lord Ad vmate. the Lord Register, Sir John Hope, Bart., Sir William Arbuthnot, Bart., Sir P. Walker, Dr. Nieoll, Bailie Ronal', &e. Mr. Murray and his excellent band werepresent during the whole evening. COUNTY OF LANARK ELECTTON. ......

TllO CHAIRMAN proposed the health of Lord,Archibald Ha mlhott, whom the freeholders had just re-elected, anti thanked for his excellent conduct as a Member of Parliament. He was happy to inform the Meeting, that although the present state of Lord Archibald Hamilton s health had deprived the freeholders and their Representative of the pleasure of meeting that day, there was the best reason for assuring theta that . he would *son be in a condi. thin to attend to those duties which he had always discharged with so much zeal and thltlity. (Loud cheers.) The Duke of HAMILTON rose under evident emotion, alai' soon as the applause had subsided, spoke with greet feeling/41 animation to the following ef.ect r—Dentlemen—Having the honed, sod pleasure of appearing here impair guest, 1 cannot retrain from endeavouring, however imperfectly, to express how. much I am touched by your great kindness in receiving the. name of a brother. fur whom 1 bear the most tender affection: `'l regret ex. ceedMgly, as lie does, the cause of his absenoe on this interesting occasion. but I feel great pleasure in 'saying that it is only tempo. rary. The high gratification he has always felt in your long_ continued approbation, will assure you how much he must regret his unavoidable absence from such a Meeting. .1 again beg per mission, as your guest, and on his behalf, to thank you our all you; kindness to my brottee. • The affectionate tone this speech produced a porcrfel pression. Stir If. STEW ART, of Allanton, after a just and well-expressed enlogtum, proposed the health of the Lord Lieutenant of the county. The Duke of 11Amtvrox —The thanks of the Hon. Baronet are not so t»ut.h due to we as to the Lieutenancy, by whose zeal, ability, and attention, the Adis of the county havejcen so well conducted. Admiral IIi:MING—I beg to propose a sentiment, which lam sure in this meeting will be received with the greatest cord ality. lt'is with the utmost satisfaction that I observe the senseless yell of No I'opery, which has been raised by interested hypoctites, for the base purpose of rousing the prejudices of ignorant people. against the most enlightened champions of liberty, has met with the fate It merited, and been scouted by the electors of every place where the population was large enough to give full scope to the formation and fair expression of public opinion. This evident proof of the progress of enlightened views will, I trust, hasten on the day when no man will be excluded from his political rights on ac count of his religious opinions.—'• The cause of civil and religious liberty alluverthe world." (Cheers.) After the health of the gallant Chairman, and some bather toasts, the Sleeting separated. STEWARTILY OF KIItIMUDRRIGHT.—The election for this county took 0 place on Wednesday. when It.

James Speed, Esq., Provost, was unanimously chosen delegate. Same evening Mr. Hume met the Incorporated Trades in the Mason bodge, and detailed to them, at great length, his labours in the last Parliament, anti the conduct he intended to pursue Should he again be returned, of which he now considered him self secure. lie was repeatedly cheered in the course of his speech. The contest is so keen in Berwick, that on Wednesday rnomir.g Mr. Hume started from Brechin Castle, in a coach and four, which had been sent for him, to give his vote for one of the Candidates, he being an elector. BURNT ISLAND. On Thursday last. a public dinner was given here at the choosing of a delegate; Mr. Fergusson of Raith, Provost of the Burgh, in the Chair his brother, Sir Ronald, Lord Ito s lyn, and various other frien ds were present. Who should pop in immediately after dinner, and quite unexpectedly, but Mr. Joseph Hume. The name was no sooner announced, than a thunder of applause imme diately followed. Mr. Hume retired to a separate apartment, attended by Mr. Ferguson, and after taking a snatch of dinner, returned to the party. During his absence a burgess ticket was made out, and prevented to him. Not being aware at all of this mark of honour, M.r. Hume, in returning thanks, evidently Is. haired under a certain degree of einbar►assment. In the course of the afternoon, however, on his health being drank as a illember 01. Parliament, lie was trite at ease, and perfectly in his element. It is almost unnecessary to add, that the gentleman chosen delegate is in the interc‘t of General Fergusson ; Indeed, his tint ion will be unanimous. —Fife Herald. ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

This day the adjourned sitting after Trinity Perm, for London, commenced, and Air. Justice LITTLEDALE, who presided for the Lord Chief Justice. took Common Jury causes. The following We was the only one worthy of mmtion. CURTIS AND ANOTHER V. HARDACRE. This was an action for words spoken. The plaintiffs were respect able gunpowder maeutacturers, and the declaration averred that the defendant had said, of and concerning them, in their trade and busi ness, that they had become bankrupts, and that they had failed to the amount of 40,11001. Mr. Mesartosro opened the pleadings, and Mr. SCARLETT stated the plaintiffs' case to the Jury. illessrs. Curtis and Harvey are gentlemen of great celebrity and reputation for their manufacture of gunpowder, and the defendant, Mr. Hordacre, is the agent of a house In which he is also a partner, who invented the patent percussion caps, for the use of small arms fired by detonating powder; they are also dealers in gunpowder. At the time of the great pecuniary panic, in De cember, 1826, the defendant was going his rounds to the ens turners of his house, when he called on a Mr. Knight, residing in Suffolk, to receive an order for percussion caps. Mr. Knight cle aning to have some cards of a Mr. Joyce, also In the business, which the defendant said he had at his inn, sent a lad in his employ with the defendant, to procure the cards. On the way thither the defendant learned front the lad that the plaintiffs supplied Mr. Knight with gunpowder ; and he then said, " Well, they will not supply Mr. Knight much longer, they have failed to the amount of 40,000/. ; and so well do I know it, that my partners have he t 9,0001. by them, and have got their mills." After this the de. fendant called upon Mr. Knight, and repeated to him the state ment he had made to the lad. The Learned Counsel said that the Jury must necessarily infer that such a representation, which was wholly unfounded, was calculated to injure the plaintiffs; but he should not be able to prove any special damage, as of course any effect that such a slander could produce was easily rem,,ved in the course of a week or two. Messrs. Curtis and Harvey, however, fit it their duty to bring this action ; and the Jr ry would give such temperate damages as would 'mime the d.feh dant to be cautious, before he wantonly trifled with the reputat on of respectable men. Mr. Onntresr, for the defendants, now stated that what his client had said had been undoubtedly misunderstood, if not mis•e presented. Messrs. Curtis and Harvey were undoubtedly gentle men of the highest respectability and credit ; and Mr. Hardaae regretted unfeignedly that he had said anything that could be misconstrued to their prejudice. He did not mean to cast any im putation on the credit of the witnesses, who might be called, but unquestionably they niisun Icesrood that which Mr. Hsrdacre had said. Mr. SCAR LET T said that his clients had taken pains to examine the witnesses in the case; and finding them all consistent in their story, they felt it due to their reputation to bring the present action. Their object, however, was not to obtain vindictive damages ; and as the dribndant had now expressed by his Counsel the regret he felt, the Learned Counsel would accept a mere nominal verdict. Verdict fur the plaintiffs—Damages 40s. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, MONDAY, JUNE. 2.
