The re-election of Lords Howick and Ossulston, for this Division of Northumberland, took place at Alnwick this day, the 31st July. The High Sheriff, W. J. Charlton, Esq., opened the pro ceedings on the hustings, by requesting the gentlemen would proceed to the election of two representatives, and that all parties might have a fair hearing. C. W. BIGGE, Esq., Chairman of the Magistrates of Northumberland, rose and said that the decease of our late beloved Monarch, which had caused universal regret, had occasioned a vacancy in the various representations of the country, and it was with much pride that he proposed Vis count Howick once more to represent that division of the county in Parliament. He would not detain them with a de tail of his various merits, which had so justly gained the favour of the great bulk of his constituents. His Lordship had redeemed every pledge which he had given on his former election ; he had assiduously attended to his duties in Par liament ; and Mr. Bigge appealed to the electors of all par ties whether his Lordship had not punctually attended to every local business on which his assistance was requested. Her Majesty has reposed her confidence in Lord Mel bourne's Government, and Mr. Bigge relied on the people in strengthening their hands by electing as representative s those who are advocates of the principles which it is desir able to be carried into practical effect. P. J. SELBY, Esq. seconded the nomination. Wm. BURRELL, Esq., in proposing Lord Ossulston, said his great merit consisted in seeing the danger as well as advantages of political changes, and whilst his Lordship would assent to every necessary improvement, he would steadily oppose organic changes which were fraught with danger to the country. Wm. ORDE, Esq. (of Nunnykirk) said this was a most important crisis for the well-being of the country, for on the result of the elections, as expressing the will of the p eo pl e , questions--which he call e d vital questions—depended. They had lost an admirable Monarch, whose sole object was the good of his people—and they had now a Queen, young and inexperienced, but who, he trusted, would evince the firmness which characterised her father, the late Duke of Kent. She has confided the Govern ment of the country to Lord Melbourne and his col leagues, not because she approves their principles, but that they may await the determination of the people. Mr. Orde then passed a high eulogium on Lord Howick, although he differed from him in political principle. Mr. Orde said he was himself a very moderate Tory ; and, wherever he could, was happy to give her Majesty's Government credit for their measures ; but, said Mr. Orde, " it is evident they do not rest on a bed of roses—they have been during the last ses sion in a state of suspended animation ; and I cannot but feel for the pain which Lord Howick must have expe rienced in being a Member of the Government, which de pends for its very existence on that Milesian mountebank who abused his father." Mr. Orde concluded by seconding the nomination of Lord Ossalston. Lords Howick and Ossulston were then declared duly elected. Lord Howicx—Mr. Sheriff, and Electors of the Northern Division of Northumberland :—My warmest acknowledgements are due to you, for restoring to me once more the trust which for six years I have held. I rejoice in meeting you again, to lay before you some general state ment of my political conduct as your representative. The last time I had the pleasure of meeting you, I declared frankly and fully the principles by which my conduct should be regulated on all important questions. As your repre sentative, I have to the best of my ability acted up to the principles to which I then avowed my attachment. It is not, I am sure, expected that I should go minutely into a detail of all the measures brought before Parliament dur ing three laborious sessions, for this would weary your patience and attention ; but a general statement you may reasonably expect.—(Cheers.) From the period when you kindly elected me, on my acceptance of office—and 1 thank you for dispensing with my personal attendance, when it would have been inconvenient for me to have left my official duties in London—my conduct has been iden tified with her Majesty's Government.--(Loud cheering.) The gentleman who seconded the nomination of Lord Oseulston has, in a very good-humoured manner, expressed his sympathy in my behalf, with reference to the support the Government received from a person whom he was pleased to designate a " Milesian mountebank." Now, this is like the taunts I am accustomed to hear in other places, and is merely a repetition of the charge so often re futed, that the Government of Lord Melbourne hold their offices solely through the support of Mr. O'Connell. 1 readily admit, that if many of the gentlemen who vote with the Ministry were to withhold their votes merely because they do not on every question agree with the Government, undoubtedly we would sometimes be in a minority. But I am yet to learn that it is a disgrace to a Government to receive support from those who do not agree with its po licy on all occasions, and who on particular questions may differ from it. What Government in the history of .this country ever existed, which received the uniform support of the members of its party on all subjects, and on every occasion ? I own it will be a disgrace to us when, for the purpose of obtaining the votes of any individual or iudivi duals, we compromise our opinions and adapt our policy, against our convictions of its propriety, merely to retain of fice by the support we should derive from the abandonment of our principles. Has this been the course we have pur. sued ? Have we not resolutely and unflinchingly opp ose d some of our supporters on measures which we could not approve ? We have pursued, and shall continue to pursue, a straightforward and steady course, in bringing forward measures which we deem necessary for the welfare of the country ; and have opposed, as we shall continue to opp ose , measures by whomsoever brought forward, which we con sidered and may deem of a contrary nature. We have been told that the Government has, during the past Session, bean in a state of " suspended vitality."--(Ne, no.) Well, " suspended animation ;" perhaps the difference is rather nominal than substantial. I know what that means—it means that we have not succeeded in passing so many mea sures as it would have been desirable to have seen com pleted. But, if you look back, you will find that the last three sessions have not been barren of useful legislation. Vsre came into office in April, 1835, and although we had our arrangements to make, in the course of that year we carried Municipal Corporation Reform for England. Changes were certainly made in another House—changes to the great injury of the original Bill, and which, the more I see of its workings, the more I regret them ; but yet, with all its faults, it has wrought a most auspicious change for the better in the corporate government of the towns in cluded in the measure ; and in Newcastle alone I had oc casion the other day to see some portion of that improve ment in the superior state of its police. But there are other measures of a valuable and important nature. We have carried a Bill for the Registration of Births and Deaths, and for enabling Dissenters to celebrate marriages independent of the Church of England. That Bill gives increased facility for tracing descents and ascertaining the rights to property, which will prove valuable to all parties. The next measure to which I will briefly call your atten tion is the Bill for the Commutation of Tithes. The necessity for some measure of that kind was universally admitted; more than one attempt was made to effect an adjustment of the question, without success ; and even Sir Robert Peel, after one measure was introduced, had so little confidence of its success, that lie declined to take an active part in its de tails, and had another measure ready in case of the failure of ours, merely for the voluntary commutation of tithes. In spite of all the auguries against it, it now forms a part of the law of the land. The vexatious impost of tithes, always fluctuating and harassing, forms a fixed charge—the most constant causes of dissension between the Clergyman and his flock are removed—and his usefulness will thereby be increased—a further beneficial effect will be found in the improved condition of the land. These are some of the measures which we have succeeded in carrying into effect, and more I could add if it were required. In the last Ses sion, during which we have been represented in a state of " suspended animation," we have carried a Bill for amend ing the Criminal Law—taking away the penalty of death in certain cases ; and while we have followed the dictates of humanity, wo have provided more effectually for the re pression of crime. The lamented death of the King stayed many measures in progress ; but, as was truly observed in her Majesty's Speech, the discussions on those measures have not been thrown away. One measure, of which we cannot over-rate the importance, is for the relief of the destitute poor of Ireland. Of all the measures requisite to raise Ireland from the state of misery and degrada tion to which a long course of bad Government has reduced her, none is better fitted than a law for re lieving her destitute poor. 'We have grappled with the difficulties of that subject —some have complained that one measure goes too far—others that it' o falls short. In this conflict of opinion, however, it is gratifying to find the measure treated with an absence of all party spirit, and that it has received the decisive approbation of the House of Commons ; and I hope it will speedily pass into law. True it is, however, that we have been prevented from carrying other measures; and I deeply lament, tlmon4st them, the THE WEEK. Beans. Pease. Bill for reforming the Municipal Corporations of Ireland, and that respecting the Church Temporalities of Ireland. I du not find in the temporary rejection of these measures any reason for despair. It is sometimes imputed to us as a fault that we have not carried those measures, but we have x d erienced no ordinary difficulties ; but while we have the support of the representatives of the people, I do not de spair of their eventual success.—(Tremendous cheering.) We have had two proofs this Session of the justice of this remark. During the government of the Duke of Wel lington, Sir Robert Peel introduced a measure for improving the criminal law. Sir James Mackintosh proposed that s clause should be introduced to take away the penalty of death in all cases. Sir Robert Peel opposed the motion, which, however, was carried against him. The Bill was then abandoned by the Government of that day, but was taken up with the clause by the Opposition to the Hou-se of Lords, and there the clause was on the motion of Lord Lyndhurst struck out of the Bill. This was in 1830. What has happened since In the last Session we pro posed the Bill for taking away the penalty of death in seve ral cases, and sent it to the Lords ; and there it was passed with the assent of the same Lord Lyndhurst, who complained it did not go far enough, and the Bill is now the law of the land.—(Hear, hear.) The next proof I would allude to is this :—You know we have " for two Sessions had a Bill in discussion for Irish Muni cipal Corporate Reform. It has been heretofore most bitterly opposed, but a remarkable expression, at the close of the Session, fell from the Duke of Wellington. His Grace said it might be considered practicable in another Session.—(Some gentleman on the Tory side of the hus tings dissented.) Well, Ido not give the exact words, but that is the effect of what he said ; and I am confirmed in this by the fact, that a respectable Irish gentleman who has always divided against us on that Bill, in offering him self the other day to his constituents, said his votes against the Irish Municipal Reform Bill were in deference to his party, and that in future they would not be repeated. I trust, therefore, that the day is fast approaching when Ire land shall be governed on the same principles as England is governed—when, instead of being ruled by a sma 11 Hart of the people, armed with the power of English re presentation, she will be governed on the principle of basing Her Government on the affections of the whole of her people, by a firm and just administration of the law, and by affording equal protection to all. The time was when , he great bulk of the Irish people regarded the law and the constituted authorities of the land as their ene tnies.—(Hear, hear, hear.) The time, if not already come, is near at hand, when all classes and parties will place implicit confidence in the administration of justice, because impartial and firm. We cannot expect to see the results of their former Government disappear instantly ; hut we see in the improved state of the country proofs of the efficacy of an improved mode of Government, and with the gradual security for person and property we shall see that country gradually receiving those blessings of peace Ind prosperity which we have in this country so long en myed•—(Loud cheering.) While I see this, however mor tified I may be with eeeing important measures defeated i❑ Parliament, our discussions lead to their success, and I am not without consolation or hope. After all, a few years are not of vital importance in the history of a groat country ; and if the people only continue to do their duty by send►ug'upright and liberal men to the House of Commons, I have no fear for the destinies of Britain.—(Cheers.) hop e w e are now entering upon a glorious career of im provement—l hope that the reign which has just begun will be distinguished in history by the bles sings bestowed upon the people by a wider spread of education conducted without sectarian distinctions or prejudices, by tranquillity at home, by peace abroad, and the burdens of the country, gradually diminished by the firm and temperate system of Government which we have pursued. To these objects, whether as a Minister of the Crown, or in Opposition, my humble hut zealous efforts will be ever directed, and it is only by such a line of con duct I can hope to ask for a renewal of the trust I solicit at your hands. Lord Howick having concluded a powerful speech, was asked as to the New Poor Law ; and his Lordship at once entered into an elaborate defence of the principle of the measure. In the north, he said, they had no idea of the misery and oppression which were wrought by the old law upon the pour man. A man, lie said, in Cambridgeshire, who had supported himself and family by industry and good conduct, got a legacy of 601. or 701. Wishing to sere this for his old age, he went and asked for cork, but was told by the farmers they would not give him tsy, as he had got money, and they would only employ :hose whom they were by law obliged to support. His neighbours then told him he might as well go to the beer shop and spend his money, as until it was exhausted lie would get no work. His Lordship then pointed out the oppression of such a system, which placed profligacy and idleness in a better condition than industry and virtue. Lord OSSIILSTON then addressed the electors, but there were so many gaps and stops that it was difficult to under ntand the Noble Lord. He said he was a supporter of the English Constitution and Protestant Church—that the measures of Government might be judged from their con nection with Irish Catholics end English democrats. He hoped to support a Bill for Irish Municipal Corporate Reform next Session, but not exactly the Bill introduced by Ministers. He would charge the Church rates on the Consolidated Fund.—( Here his Lordship came to a pause, and was silent for some minutes, during which his friends whispered help, and he pulled a paper out of his waist coat pocket, and then resumed.) He said it was well known the late King kept the Ministry in office from necessity, not from choice—that lie would scarcely admit them to his presence—and that their jealousy was evinced by their appointing all the officers of this household from their own party, without an exception. He would resist undue pressure upon the Ministry, and so far would sup port them. His Lordship's eloquence will certainly not avail much towards that end. Mr. SAMUEL DONKIN, of Bywell, then asked Lnrd Howick as to county-rates ; and his Lortt3hip stated he was favourable to the rate-payers having a controul over the rates, and Lord .Tohn Russell would next Session in troduce a Bill for the purpose. The Sheriff' then retired into the Town-hall, where the returns were completed. Each of the candidates dined with their friends in the evening. DENBIGHSHIRE. DENBIGII, TUESDAY, AUGUST 1.---The two old Tory Members, Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, Bart., and the lion. W. Begot, were this day elected without opposition, and were afterwards chaired through the town. The Li beral party suspected that a locum tenens might be at tempted to be thrust upon them to keep Sir Watkin's seat warm for his eldest son, who is now seventeen years of age, the old Baronet being almost blind, deaf, speechless, and .$o infirm as to he incapable of self-motion ; and therefore Mr. Biddulph, with a party of friends, were in attendance to watch the proceedings, and he declared that on a fitting occasion ho would come forward to contest this county. Major Yale, a Tory, also declared that at such an oppor tunity be too would come forward, but with Mr. Biddulph Major Yale's opposition would be of no avail. It is evi dent both parties have no expectation that Sir Watkin will survive the next four years, and that no member of the Louse of Wynnstay will be able to represent the county on Ills demise, which can alone free the constituency from the trammels i❑ which they are at present bound. Denbigh shire, at no distant day, will return a Reformer. THE DENBIGH BOROUGHS. Though Mr. Wilson Jones, the Orange Tory, has been returned for these boroughs, the contest resulted in a vir tual triumph of the Liberals. Whe❑ Mr. Maddocks, a gentleman residing in the neighbourhood, and well known to the electors, contested the representation with Mr. Jones a few years ago, the majority of the Tory exceeded 200 ; but on this occasion the majority was reduced to 74, tha Liberal, be it observed, ❑ever having been seen before by the constituency, and only having- come into the field at the eleventh hour. When Miss Middleton's tenants i❑ Ruthin can give an uninfluenced vote the Liberal will succeed. SOUTH CHESHIRE.

(From the Dunyrries Courier.) STRANRAER, 29TH OF JULY. - The nomination for this district of burghs took place at Wigtown, on Wednes day last, the 26th current, amidst an immense concourse of people, drawn together from the excitement of the un expected contest. The respective candidates were at tended to the hustings by their friends, and a number of county gentlemen appeared among the supporters of Sir Andrew Agnew. After the writ had been read, Lieut.. Thomas Taylor of Stranraer proposed Mr. M'Taggart a:3 Ardwell, the late Member, as a fitting representative of the Wigton Burghs in Parliament. The nomination was hailed by the universal applause of the Liberals, and was seconded by Bailie Waugh of Wigton. Col. M'Dowal of Stranraer, nominated Sir A. Andrew, and was seconded by Dr. Dalzel of Wigton. It was understood that Stair Stewart, Esq., of Physgill, would have taken this duty upon him, but that gentleman did not arrive in time. The two candidates briefly addressed the meeting, and on a show of hands being taken, it was declared to be in favour of Mr. M'Taggart. A poll was in consequence demanded for Sir A. Agnew, and Friday was appointed for the trial of strength. The most intense anxiety prevailed in the interval between the nomination and polling, and on Friday the fa vourable result to the Reform cause was received with gra tulation by every Liberal in the district. The official de claration (which follows) was made from the hustings on Saturday last, by the Sheriff, and thereafter the candidates briefly addressed the electors, thanking them respectively for the support they had received. Three hearty cheers were then given for Mr. M'Taggart, and the same meed of applause was accorded to Sheriff• Walker, for his impartiality and attention as presiding officer. As the rain fell in tor rents the whole time, the ceremonial was a very brief one, and the assemblage dispersed immediately after it. CLOSE OF THE POLL. Sir A. Agnew. 63. Stranraer. . Wigton .. Whithorn New-Galloway l2 . Mr. M•Taggai t. 95 40 Majority for Mr. M'Taggart 34 The political career of the Knight of Lochnaw is thus closed—aye, closed for ever. The present is a glorious victory, inasmuch as the combined influence of the Earl of Galloway, Lord Kenmure, Agnew of Sheuchan, Moore of Corsewall, Blair of Dunskev, Agnew of Lochnaw, Hatboro of - Castlewigg, Stewart of Phvsgill, and last, though not least, M‘lia.flle of Corzemalzie, with his" war to the knife," have been forced to yield to the independence of the electors of these burghs. They have nobly fought the battle with such a host arrayed against them. The worthy bur gessss have indeed obtained a mighty victory over the ultra- Tories ; their threats—their intimidations—aye, and their pampering: with the electors have signally failed. True to the Liberal cause, they have at length taught the Tories that they are proof against their strongest efforts. We could mention various manceuvres attempted, in some cases, we are sorry to say, successfully, in which the Baro net's female supporters acted a conspicuou s part; but we know that Sir Andrew is an individual too honourable to have sanctioned them, and therefore we refrain from point ing them out ; they have already incurred the odium of the public, by whom they will not soon be forgotten. We learn from Wigton that the inhabitants were so overjoyed when the intelligence of Mr. M'Taggart's majo rity arrived, that the town-belie were put in motion, and the Wigton band immediately assembled, and paraded the town in proud triumph. It has likewise been whis pered t hat there were some demonstrations of childish mis chievousness, and that the Provost's windows had suffered from the excess of joy that pervaded the worthy bur gesses. If such were the case, it must be regretted by every true friend to the Liberal cause ; but indeed we were only cursorily informed of the circumstance, and fain hope that it is not true. It will be seen from the state of the poll that in every burgh, except that hot-bed of corruption, New-Galloway, Mr. M'Taggart had a majority. In New-Galloway Lord Kenrourc's exertions in behalf of Sir Andrew are not so well know• as the Ministers ; but we trust soon to see this " Old Sarum" of iniquity expunged from this district of burghs. It is a disgrace to Schedule A. DUN DEE ELECTION. NOMINATION OP THE CANDIDATES. Friday last, the 28th of July, having been appointed by the Sheriff for the nomination, the town's hustings were erected in front of the Town-house early in the forenoon ; and by twelve o'clock, the hour fixed, crowds had poured in, and were rapidly filling the High -street on every side. A little before that hour, Mr. Gladstone and his party pro ceeded to the Town-hall ; and shortly a ft er , Si r H enry Parnell and his friends, waking three and three abreast, to the sound of music, and wearing rosettes of buff and blue, also reached the Hall. The preliminaries having been arranged with the Sheriff, Sir Henry Parnell, and a. number of his supporters, previously limited by consent of patties, took their station on the right side of the hustings ; and the Sheriffs, with Mr. Gladstone and a like number of his supporters, took their place on the left side—the hustings having been divided into two equal parts by a strong wooden bar. Mr. EDWARD BAXTER came forward and proposed Sir Henry Parnell. Mr. SYMON seconded the nomination. Mr. ANDERSON, corn-merchant, proposed John Glad stone, Esq. - Mr. CRIGHTON, shipowner, and survey or for Lloyd's, seconded the nomination. Sir HENRY PARNELL then uncovered, and was received with loud and long cheering. He said—Gentlemen, the general election which is going on is not a general election of an ordinary character. On common occasions, a general election takes place - when the legal time that Parliament has to last has ended, or when the Monarch on the Throne wishes to collect the sentiments of the people on seine ha portant question : but on the present occasion we have a new reign commenced, we have it commenced under new auspices and circumstances ; and the real question we have , to decide on this occasion is, What shall be the system by which this country shall be governed in all probability fur the next half century. I will only refer to history, where you will find what is the true character and nature of a . Government founded on. the principles of Toryism., This country has been governed during eighty y ears b y Ki ngs who certainly, and undoubtedly, adopted principles of Tory politics—(Cheers)—except on few occasions, when the public voice made itself heard. The Whigs have not been in power for any length of time during the period stated ; and if you will look to what happened within the-last 40 or .50 years, you will easily form a correct idea of the nature of Tory Governments. I will put, it all on one question— dig kit war, which comnience4 in 1793, and lttted, with- __-. (---,g, 9,-9------ ~„.....-. ~..../ - ... • „• ,__ , , . ..: e .. : . out irte ruption, for a .period of 20 _years. That was a Tory war. The Whigs, in 1793, with Mr. Fox at their head , did all they could to keep the country out of that war. The y said, ' Let France alone to settle her own affairs. You wi II involve this country in great expenses, mid in the cslatnitics and miseries of war.' But the s oice of the Whigs was not listened to ; and what was the result? Why, the war cost the country 800,000,0001. It has raised the taxation of this country as a natural consequence. The whole expenditure of this country, previous to 1793, was only 1 2,000,0001., which paid the interest of the debt, the army, the navy, and everything connected with the establishment of Go vernment. At this moment, after being greatly reduced, the expenditure of the country amounts to 47,000,000/. a s year. These are the fruits of a Tory system of Govern ment. It ch urged the circumstances of the country in re gard to taxation, from 12,000,000/. a year to nearly 50,000,000/. There is a point which I wish to call parti cularly to y ur attention—that we have not a Monarch who has ado' ted the principles of Toryism, but a young Queen, --(lmmense cheering)—who, by her declaration in the hour of ascending the Throne, declared her intention of going forward mith the great measures of Reform of the different irg:itutions of the country.—(Cheers.) She has confirmed the sincerity of that declaration by appointing Lord Melbourne and his colleagues to be her Ministers, and likewise by selecting suitable persons to her household ; and in every answer given to addresses she has recorded the principles that governed her opinions and declarations. —(Cheering.) This is no little matter ; for though, the Queen is young, she is sufficiently advanced in age to be thoroughly acquainted and conversant with the great public questions which relate to this country.—(Cheers.) Now, 1 say, the decision you are come to is not so much affecting me as an individual or a friend to the Government, but as decisive of the great question of how these countries are to be governed. I have not the least 'doubt that what my honourable friend has said is perfectly true—that, if the result of this general election is to return to Parliament a majority of Tot) , members, and establish a Tory Govern ment, that that Tory Government would deprive you liy some means . or other of the benefits of the act of reform. I do not mean to say they would bring in a bill to repeal the Reform Act. lam quite certain that no such thing will be attempted ; but there is no one so ignorant as not to know that Government, by various ways and expedients, can. adopt means to throw obstructions in way of the fran chise being fairly exercised. The great defect of the Re form Act is that it is too full of provisions and restrictions which tend to annoy and disfranchise a vast number of ex cellent electors. I would also conceive, that the result of a Tory Government would be, to adopt all those sorts of measures which might, in the end, lead us into new wars, new debts, and new taxes. The situation of Ministers is now different from what it was some months ago. For two years they had difficulties of all sorts to encounter. They have been opposed in such a manner that it is wonderful how they got any measure passed at all, yet they succeeded in carrying a number of good measures. Now that the cir cumstances are changed, and that we are looking forward to be supported by a majority in the new Parliament, it is reasonable to expect :hat they will come forward and pro pose and carry through, not only such measures as they have hitherto attempted, but such further measures as May give satisfaction to all true Reformers.—(Cheers.) Now, with regard to myself; 1 offer you my services as your representative, to carry into effect the working of a system of Liberal policy. Ido not consider it in any other point of view ; I do not refer to anything like personal consideration ; but, if I can prove that, during a long public life I have Lean the consistent supporter of Liberal prin ciples, I think you will place confidence in me, that I will do all in my power to promote your interests.—(Cheers.) I was returned to Parliament in 1806 ; and as far as my me mory "serves me, I can say, that I have been constantly voting for every measure that had for its object the good of the country, and constantly voted against every measure I thought wrong, and which in most cases turned out in prac tice to be wrong. In regard to general political principles, I have not changed any one of them, and have, as far as possible, acted upon them, and I think, in some degree suc cessfully. There is one great question on which I must particularly and distinctly state my opinion —the question of the ballot. lam a decided friend to that measure.— (Cheers.) There is no man more sincerely in favour of it than I am : I will go so far as to state, that I consider the *existence and permanence of a Liberal system of Government depend on the carrying of the ballot. All the arguments in favour of it are, in my opinion, good ; and the arguments :against it are not worthy of regard. Ido assure you that I will use every exertion to induce the Ministry to make it an *open question. I have succeeded so far in being allowed not to vote against it. This was a step gained. I trust, that, as "the circumstances of Ministers arc changed, this and other great questions will be made open questions.—(Cheers.) With regard to the Septennial Act, 1 am anxious to see it repealed; and I do not think that there is so much difficulty in the way of making this an open question, as exists in re gard to some others. lam decidedly in favour of a repeal of the Corn-laws.—(Cheers.) There is one point more oenly on which I will touch, and that is the Civil List, which ysou know includes the question of pensions. I have had seine communication with Ministers on the subject ; but I cannot say that I am authorized to state what their inten tions are. I have no power whatever to say what they mean to do ; but I um able to say this, that, from "what I have heard, I believe that the present Government will propose the same motion as I made in 1830, on the Civil List, which motion, as you are aware, turned the Duke of Wellington out of office.—(Cheers.) I believe they mean to adopt the very words of the motion ; and that being the case, I am fully convinced that the whole subject of the Civil List, and that of the pensions, will come under a free inquiry, and 1 doubt not this inquiry will lead to a conside rable diminution of expenditure. Mr. fILADSTONL next craved a hearing, but he experi enced the same kind of interruption as that so fatal to the speeches of his nominator and seconder. He endeavoured to proceed ; but what he said was only audible to those around him. The SHERIFF then took a show of hands for Sir Henry Parnell ; when every band save those on the left side of the hustings, was held up, amidst great cheering. Mr. Glad stone had only the hands of those around him in his favour. The Sheriff declared that the show of hands was in favour of Sir Henry. A poll was demanded by Mr. Anderson lOr Mr. Gladstone. The Sheriff fixed Tuesday (to-tuorrow) for the poll, beginning at eight o'clock in the morning, and closing at four in the afternoon. MID-LOTHIAN ELECTION. (Abridged from a Second Edition of the Edinburgh .Evening Courant of Monday.) The Nomination of Candidates for this county tokik place this day, at the hustings at the Cross, in the presence of an immense crowd of persons. Sir George Clerk appeared on the hustings a few minutes before twelve o'clock, accom panied by Sir John Hope, Captain Burn Callande r, Major Pringle, Captain Boswall of Wardie, Mr. A.'iderson, banker, and a great number of other gentlem en. Mr. Gibson-Craig arrived shortly afterwards, accompanied by Lord Dalmeny, Sir David Baird, Sir Thomas Dick: Lauder, Sir John Dalrymple, Sir A. Maitland Gibson, :Sir Wm. Hamilton, Hon. Mr. Primrose, Mr. Horsman, Atr. A. E. Monteith, Mr. Forrest of Comiston, and a number of other gent:emen. The usual formalities having been gone through by the , Sheriff; Captain Burn Cal'ander, seconded by Mr. Glen dinning, farmer; Alillrig, proposed Sir George Clerk. Lord Dalnieny, seconded by Mr. Stark, fame', proposed Mr. Gibson Craig. Sir GEORGE CLERIC then stood forward, and was re ceived with much clamour, which continued more or less throughout his speech. Mr. GIBSON CRAIG then came forward, and was received with great applause. Gentlemen, I should almost have thought that my Hon. Friend, considering the doctrine he held at last election, would not have appeared to-day against me. We heard nothing then, but of the encroachments on the prerogative of the King, and of the people attempt ing to dictate to the Crown ; and we 'rem told, that. for the electors to attempt to oppose the Conservative candidates, it was insulting to his Majesty.—(Loud ter.) If that is the doctrine they held then, what must: they say now ?—(Cheering.) Now, when we have our Young and generous Queen reposing 1; cr confidence i n a Liberal Ministry (Contending cries of " No, no,' , — ~ Yes, yes")—because she knows that. that Ministry has the confidence of the people.—(Cheers.) T o he sure, the Hon. Gentleman who proposed Sir George Clerk found a reason for the appearance of the Hon. Baronet here to-day, by saying that the Queen had not, in fact, placed confidence in her Ministers, hut is prepared to place confidence in those gentlemen to whose . opinio ns every d ec l arat i on she has made is directly hostile.---(Hear, hear, from Sir George Clerk.) My Hon. Friend has said, that her Majesty acted wisely in takiug the sense of the nation in regard to the opinions of the Ministry, and he trusted, that such a re-action had taken place in the public mind that a majority of Conserva tives would be returned to Parliament. Gentlemen, I don't think that this hustings is the place to talk of re-ac tior,—( Loud cheers)—recollecting what took place here on the previous week, when no Conservative candidate dared to show his face—(Cheers add laughter)—recollecting also what took place at Leith at the same time. The SHERIFF then called for a show of hands, and dee%ared them to be in favour of Mr. Gibson Craig. ith, and 1 8t h , many It is reported that the Neapolitan Vicercl has b een murdered at Pale:mo, and that numerousbands of ro b bers are to, but Was k masters of the city.
