ELECTItIS INTELLIGENCES L ABETH. Though the contest for tni, b trough terminated at four o'clock on Wednesday stternoon, Kt wnict lira , it was generally understood that the suceesful were 'sir.

He said that, at noon on Saturday last, he acceded for the first mo ment to the application which had been made to him by what he supposed he might now be allowed to call a respectable deputation.—(Cheers.) He did not wish to stain thaael ong under the building. [A Voice--am . ts or you'll I riv e us mad.] Hehad been returnedoyes, by the great naafis of the w or ki ng c l asses. —(N° ' n yes, and clamour.) The poll-books would show that he wasted the fact.—(Clamour.) He observed it stated in ens of the n ewspapers of that day t hat a large body of men of a pa r ti cu l ar establishment v oted for him because of his subsoriptions to the Amalgamated Association of Eogineere. He be geed to state he never subscribed a shilling to that beefy—(Hear, hear.) He believed one element of his success consisted in the treatment by the otherside of the gentlem an who preceded him— (H r. n eearvet)—tr eatment which the honest indignation of Englishmee, rose up against. (Hear, hear.) Whatever Might har, e been Mr. Harvey's position in early years, he had now lived in the borough thirty years, and had ever seetained an irreproachable character and reeuta• tion.— -(Hear, hear.) Therefore, to have attacked his early character is the manner in which it had been at tao) /eel was neither a just, a generous. or a manly ace— (Ceheers.) ri le duties of the constituency were now for free present concluded, whilst his duties were only about to commence; and ho hoped to discharge those duties in the sam e honest and exemplary manner in which the constituency had discharged theirs in electing him as their re presentative.—(Elear, hear, and cheers.) Mr. WILLIAMS next came forward, and was warmly greeted. He begged to express his deep and heartfelt thanks for the honour which they had now for the se cond time conferred upon him. He had been charged with coalition with the Right Hon. Mr. D'Eyncourt.— (Cries of "'Tie true.") He did not complain nor find fault with any men who believed so, as all appearances tended in the; way; but he c uld assure them that he had no more to do with the formation of that coalition than any individual present,—(Hear, hear, and Oh, oh.) Between ',kir. D'Eyneourt and himself there had not been a wend of understanding on the question of coali• tion.—(rJear, hear, from Mr. D'Eyncoure) Now, as regards d himself (ear. William.), he should say that, as th ey t.eretotore found him so should they ever find him. At tlee end of the next sessien he bhould iawite them to meet him and scrutinise his every act as their repreeen tad ve, and the more they looked into his conduct the mr ,re pleased should he be to meet them.—(Cheers.) Mr. D'EYNCOURT lastly presented him-elf, and was • ere , warmly received, there being a markAd difference in the reception as compared with that of Tuesday last. He said that, as this might be the last occasion on which he should have tee honour of addressing the electors of Lambeth, and as even it might be the last day of his public life, he hoped they would treat him with at least some torbe.arance.—(Cheer s .) I t h a d b een said that he lost his election in consequence of certain slan d ers heaped upo n Mr. Harvey.—(Hear, hear.) He challe nged any man to say if he had ever heard him utter any such slander, or that he had ever been a party to its ut terience.--(Crie s of" Your conecnite e") Lie w a s not awn Vest his committ ee ever uttered those calumnies. "eer,hear, and Oh, oh) He understood there were papers, circulated in reference to that gentleman; but neither h e nor He -cou!d i./ committee had any concern in th em. not be a man if, after twenty years of inti mate ant', Confident eAlWXiOn ' the bond which unite d them cc' uld be severed without a pang of feeling.—(Hear, • `"") And now, when retiring from tnem, it was a consolation to know that he had on the previous day Polled in his favour a lamer number of electors than was Bug:lir:tent to return him at the last election.--(Cheers.) Wio„h these observations, and wishing them coil,- ()Lively and individually every happiness, he then bade theca feerewell.—(Hear, and cheers.) GREENWICH. At one o'clock yesterday the returning officer for the borough declared the final state of the poll to be as follows: 2,415 Chambers ... 2,360 Ste 2 wart .. ... 2,026 ilomons 1,102 The officer then declared Messrs. Rolt and Chambers to be duly elected Members to represent the borough in Parnsment, amidst deafening cheering of their respective sui.porters. . . The newly-elected members having addressed the as ,:iemblage, they were " chaired" through the three towns, numerous bands of music, and a profuse display of flags and banners, with coaches and carriages, form ing the two processions. ABINGDON. The election of a Member to represent this borough in the next Parliament took place yesterday. General Caultidd was the only candidate, his return being unop posed by the late Member, Sir F. Thesiger, in conse quenc of a mutual arrangem , mt at the time of the ac cession to office or the present Ainistry. A second can didate, is the person of G. W. El ipe, issued an address to the electors, but without any serious intention to conzeat the borough, as he withd rew ear l y t hi s m orning. Tna proce.eding4 occupied a very short time, and tme tow, a presented but little deviation from its aciu,tomed tranquillity. After the usual preliminaries had been r4one throu4h, the Ilayor called upon those electors who had candidates to pr , pose. Mr. GABRIEL DAVIES pr-posed, and Mr. EDWIN PAYNE Secouled, General Caulfield as a fit and proper person to represent the borough. After asking if there was any other candidate, the Mayor declared General Caulfield duly elected. MIDDLESEX. A meeting of the electors was held yesterday at the publ.io rooms, Uxbridge, to bear addresses from Lord Robert Grosvenor and Slr. Osborne. As the anno unce - Ment had been put forward that morning of the intention to start a Tory candidate, an additional intere s t was im parted to the proceedings, and there was a crowded attendance. It was market day in Uxbridge, and this usually quiet little place displayed all the bustle indica tive of an approaching election. Placards were posted in all directions, as well in the interest of the late Mem bers as in that of the expected candidate, the " dark hone," of whom all that seems to be known is, that he is an aeatiegaynooth man. His bias dwell emphatically on the blessings of our " Protestant Constitution," and wi n d up with a strong recommendation to the electors ire " beware of Osborne." Mr. T. N. Riches presided. Lord R. GROSVENOR was received withgreat cheering. He referred to his kind reception on former occasions in that room, and expressed a hope that h e h a d not lost their confidinca but that he had faithfully and con scientiously dig charged the obligations conferred on him at the last election. There were then three candideoes; now there were but two; and though he was sorry for this on account of the electors, knowing how dull an uncontested election was, be was not sorry for himself ivad his colleague.—(Hear, hear.) The electors had been 'asked t o reserve t h e i r v otes; be knew not whether they were to have a contest or not; but, contest or none, he was exceedingly glad of opportunity of appearing personal that before them. Ho rejoiced in frequent of thoroughly inter course with his constituents, as understanding and appreciating I:hmeireacnipsinions; a fur con siderable was only while convinced that he represented majority of the electors that he wished to his desire to re trerable them.—(dear, hear.)

It any one present did, he hoped they would explain them before the meet 'log separated. They had gone round the country agi teajng against free trade; and now they dared not appeal to the country on that principle.—(Cheers.) But it was said the Ntirosrees were a barrier against the waves of dentioeracy. Where were these wares coming from?— (tlea,r, hear) Next they wore utivoc,ung a grea er share of representation for the people ill the douse of Com mo ns. Their pretensions were utterly inconsistent. Protection wets now to be abandoned for revsion of taxa- V'arls whereby the poor agriculturists were to be com pensated for the logs of the corn-laws. Still the Go vernment stubbornly refused to state what their pro posal was to be. Had they proposed such a reduc tion of e xPenditure, or to lighten the burdens of the people generally, they would have commanded his respect.—( i e• - ar, hear.) He bad always acted with the party, whe, dosing the lastseventeen years, hal car ried into iTth etat m eUsures of reform that ever were passed. Still he was not a party man. He had always acted as the represen • tative of a party. If the present Ministers brought in good measures they would receive his support. Though speaking in the midst of an agricultural district, he must express his hope tha - the old corn-law s were g ene for ever. -...(ebeer..) It might have been better had they been less abruptly repealed, for the tenant-farmers bad undoubtedly suf fered much. Prices had just been. artificially raised, owing to the famine in Ireland, and landlords were na- THE ,SUN, ?Wally nnwilling to lower their rents. He hoped. how ever, that they would come to a talc understending, so that " Lye and let live" might be the order of the dsy. —(Cheers.) But what was to he said of those who had gohe round the ceuetry preaching to the tarn-es trim they could not live without protectien; and then, wh-n peeee.i. e e was removed, had refu.ed to loserr teetr ree,t• ? —(Heer, he ar .) He found ina , day that the price of the best wneat in Uxbridge market rese 52, or 53.. tee varter; th • qaertern loaf wa,s 5} t. to 6} 1 ; and was there a Protectionist who would say that tee poor man ought to pay more? Since the last election there had been a reduction of taxation to the extent of five or six millions; and not only had the revenue not suffered, but the eight millions borrowed during the Irish famine had been paid off. He was anxious for further reductions of duty, especially on the articles of I tea, tobacco, and spirits. At present a labourer who, with his family, consumed 261bs. of tea annually, paid a tax of about 60s. a year. Were this sum levied on him as a direct tax, it would be much mare than 7d. in the pound on his income, probably three times as much. He believed that the tea duty might be reduced by Is. 21, per pound without injury to the revenue, provided it were done at the rate of 4d. a year. He was also favour able to the repeal of the malt-tax.—(Cheers.) That was the relief he would give to the agricultural interest. He believed all excise duties to be prejudicial, as tend ing to promote fraud. The malt-tax might be got rid of by a small additiou of direct taxation. The question of Parliamentary reform was one of great interest. He was opposed to frequent changes. He approved of Mr. Locke King's propo.al to give the 101. franchise in counties.—(Cheers.) 'flee - time was also come for an extension of the suffrage, and above all for an equalizs lion of electoral districts—(Cheers) —for it was impos sible longer to defend a system where 300 voters had the same power as 300,000.—(11ear.) A GENTLEMAN—What will you do with the West India colonies? Lord R. GRoSVENOR said he was desirous to see them represented, or at least governed by their own represen tatives, as New Zealand and Australia would be. — (Cheers.) Along with an extension of the suffrage, end a re-arrangement of the electoral districts, he should vote for the abolition of the property qualification, de siring to extend the basis of the choice of the electors. —(Hear, hear.) He also thought that Members ought to be returned free of expense. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) He would extend the number of polling places, and limit the poll to one day.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. OSBORNE was greeted with much euthusiam. He said he agreed entirely with his Noble Colleague on most of the subjects to which he had adverted. It had been said in certain quarters, " Why should we have Mr. Osborne for Middlesex?"—(Hear, and '• Why should we not ?") He admitted that he was not qualified by for tune or vionenfl years rcse constituency.a f g or o such by a a d p i o B s tiii %b hu u ai sd t h h b e e dehnadbrnoou inhabitant h t t nu for of't - w hi a cu rd sel fi that town, Mr. Henry Hull.—(Ch eer s.) Th at gent i eman was now no more, and he had pride is referring to the influence he had then used. He (Mr. Osborne) might not be the pet candidate of a party—not the magi s t e ri a l candidate.—(Hear, h ear .) B ut he bad pandered to no Government it he bad not Middlesex acres.—(Cheers.)Ele had opposed and still m--ant to opposewoui otslink n Lord Derby's iinto Government.—(Haar, hear.) He d not Peafrolriaemthee co Parliament by in back l door, but would come boldly h It was fur these n r a easo p n u s ts t o : f a t t he a county.—(Cheers.) certain peddling requisition had been hawked about by megistrates end other.—(Haar, hear.) He was no leveller, and ad mitted that the representative of that county ought to possess a certain rank. If a resident country gentleman, holding the same principles, could be induced to stand, he would retire; for he could have a quiet seat elite wbere.—(Hear, bear.) But he felt, having been re turned by the middle and working classes of tne electors, tnat he was bound to stand by them.—(Cheers.) He had been accused of Popish tendencies in a bill of rain bow hues, which reminded hire of the present Govern ment—a government constructed, like the kaleidoscope, of little bite of coloured glass, which might be turned so as to please all eyes.—(Cheers and laughter.) He had been returned at the lest election on free-trade prin ciples when those principles were less in fashion; and he rejoiced that the corn-laws bad been totally and at once repealed, and that the working classes had thereby been enabled to consume fifty millein qua, tees of grain additional.--(Cbeers.) He had always voted for ree trade in its fullest sense, and he therefore claimed the support of all who held those principles.—(ll - ar, hear.) He had never attempted to gull those singularly confiding men, the tarmers, with promises of protection; nor bad be ever denounced the greatest minister this country had seen for two hundred years as the leader of an " organized hypccriq." and then turned round and adopted his principles. Had he done so, the electors might well be exhorted to " beware of Osborne." — (Cheers.) He would say—" Beware of Lord Derby," or the Protestantism of 1852 would be lett in the same position as the Protection of 1847 —(Cheers.) A new dodge was about to be tried on the constituency. Farmers were now told to exercise a temperate forbearance, and to look only for a modification ot taxation.—(Hear, hear.) They were much in the position of the man who supposed be had been promised an elephant by a friend in India, but which in reality was an evivaleut, and turned out to be a Japan tea-tray.—(Laughter.) They were promised an inquiry into the burdens on land. What were they? It would never be dis covered in the House that they were any other than Sir John Tyrrel, and Mr. Newdegate, and one of their neighbours, who was hawking about the requisi tion against him—(Cheers and laughter.) As to the malt tax, he considered that its abolition would be a relief to the consumer. He would vote for its repeal if any substitute could be found. He believed that the alleged burdens on !Yuri were a mere sham and delusion, got up by that accomplished juggler, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who was a quitabler and a political Pu seyite—(eneers.) Along with his Noble Colleague, he was favourable to removing the duties from tea and to bacco as soon as the condition of the revenue would allow. He had been charged with holding extreme political principles. Ile was a man of smell but intle• pendent fortune, and had everything to lose by violence. He saw no danger in admitting the people co the suffrage, convinced that if England ever tell, it would be by toe vices of the upper, not of the lower classes.—(Ch.-ers.) He was an advocate for our representative system being made a reality, and not a sham; and he was no true Conservative who re fused to throw open the partaie of the constitution and admit the people to power. As to civil and religious liberty, he had ulways vAed with Lord John Russell for the admission of the sto Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) He asked no man hie re ligions principles; that was a matter between him and his Maker.—(Cheers.) Though a meenber of the r;stab lishment, he had voted fur the abolition of church -rates, believing that this paltry tax w a s an in j ur y to the Church. —(lleer, hear.) Bat it was said that he had voted for the grant to l!LLeynooth. Tins was a misrepresentetien. He had never done so. He had voted for Mr. Ward's amendment that the additional money fur Maynooth should be taken from the Church property of Ireland. —(Cheers.) Lord D.-rbv Irmself was the very man who, on the 3d of April, 1845, had proposed in the House of Lords the additional 14,000l—(Hear, hear.) Was not this of a piece with all the other trickery that was g ring nu? LI Ireland the Derby ite candidates said they would maintain the Maynoeth grant, just as in those benighted counties where Mr. Christopher pre sided, they were still taught to believe in Protection.— (Rear ' h ea r.) Bat it was said that he was a member of " the Pope' s brass-band." —(Laughter.) He had cer tainly taken no part in the Ecclesiastical Titles 13111, ex • cept on the third reading. believing that Lord Jelin Russell had taken the wrong coarse. lie thought it a resisted the d w i g r acefal concession to a cry.—(Cheers.) It they given an d to confront ignorance—and he of en thought Po pery and ignorance convertible terms—it must ne done re newal of the o l . by , persecution.—(Cheers.) He had and °Y eduestien, not account of hi s stewardship, he asked for a ilitia Bill in all its stages. Having thus prin ciples letter Protectie confidence.

"I am, gentlemen, always your very faithful servant, " GEORGE SYDNEY SmyyllE. "Canterbury, July 8." DEVON poRT.

ROMILLY rose amid loud cheers, but an old sailor with a Syrian medal to his breast, in a fury of ex citement, threw his cap towards the Right Honourable Gentleman. I appear before you, said Sir John, in a character quite diffetent from that which I expected that of a defeated candidate, and I assure you that the statement I made respecting the result of this election was no other than that which I fully and sincerely be lieved it would turn out.—(Cheers.) Bat I am disap pointed, and I regret the result I submit to your thei sion, and congratulate the Gallant General on his return, and I trust he may serve you as faithfully as I have en deavoured to do.—(Cheers.) I trust he may even serve you more to your advantage, and that these sentiments ot free trade which he now professes to entertain may be carried out in every stage of progressive ref am for tue general advancement of the country.—(Cheers ) Sir JOHN MAxwELL—I also appear before you to-day a defeated candichte, but not a dispirited candidate. — (Loud cheers, and a cry of '• You will be returned next lime.") The Right Lion. Gentleman has shown you that he has a flient tongue. I only asked for the votes of honest men—(Laughter)—aud I declare to you the/. it we had got all the promises redeemed, you would have teen me returned now instead of him —(Ott, oh.) Let me, in taking tareweit of you for the present, assure you, that is any way in which my influence with the G,..eettemant can be of use to any one ot you, it will give me the greatest happiness.—(Cheers and laughter.) Mr. TUFNELL then rose, and was received with a hearty welcome by his friends. He said—Gentlemen, I appear with mingled feelings of thankfulness on ac count of the proud position iu which you nave placed me at the head of the poll. and of regret that my name as your representative should be no long-•r associated with o hn Hominy. I will not now state by what t mt h :, aa t tn ° S t i h r e j victory has been aehieved—(A cry of ")—undue influence and intimidation have Bribery been used. ( Ir.

Having thanked them for returning him, he said that Devonport was no longer a close borough; it was now free and open, and he hoped and trusted that it would always be so. As they had done him the honour of e i ec tinz him. he would do what he could for Devonport. On Thursday morning Mr. Tufnell issued an address th a nking the elector,s for his ret urn w hich had been the means of the Lib era l s i°'viir and deploring th e ofof their moat R able and staun c h a d vocates in g r bedon tS' J mill t d i.: :: u 0s . ir _ ohm' }• DE it BY. Great excitement prevailed to Derby yesterday in con sequence of the s eizure of a briber on the Tory side, who wus cleverly capiured in a dark room at an inn with a lar g e sum of money before biro. There yeas a regular , i ,, rir-keepor, arid passwords were used. A lett er was found upon the briber, which, it is tat d, is lik e ly to lead t o important results. A description of three oth er persons was obtained by the Liberals, but they we r e not detect,d. The contest Wad a very severe one. A pause of some minutes now ensued, and some per sons began to anticipate a repetition of the scene which had already occurred, when Sir J. GRAHAM stepped forward and said—Gentlo men, my rese-act for you is so sincere, and my sense of the gravity of this occasion is so deep, that I am not pre pared to make the proceedings of this day ridiculous.— (Applause.) I waited, according to the ordinary cour tesy observed at elections, to give the friends of the late sitting Member, who again solicits your suffrages, the opportunity of proposing him. I and my friends waited for a long time, but waited in vain. Even now, I again waited to give my opponent the opportunity of expres sing his opinions before me, but since I perceive that he wishes I should speak first, I will not " stand on the order of our going," and, not being afraid of appealing to you, without hesitation I proceed to address you, al though in doing so I take precedence of your former Member. I have great encouragement in doing so, b.cause, although sudden conversions are now the order of the day, I certainly was not prepared to hear myself proposed and seconded by the two gentlemen wise have done me that honour from the other side.—(Cheers and laughter.) One of these gentlemen, who I think is intimately connected with Mr. Hodgson, paid me a compliment which I certainly was not prepared for. Mr. Parting declared that in his opinion I was the most fit person to repre sent the city of Carlisle._(Much cheering) I think tee expression used by Mr. Head was that I was the right man, and ought to have the precedence.—(Cheers.) Mr. Head likewise said he had read history. I also have read history, and I will tell you the result of my read ing and of my experience. I think that the prosperity of this country is to be traced to its constitution and its trade, and that the lifeblood of both is freedom.— (Cheers.) Well, what is the rule of that freedom, as em bodied in our representative system? It is that the o f the electors of C ar li s l e are decidedly of opinion majority shall decide for the min or i t y ; an d if t h e majo rity quite right t h at the majority should have that a Derbyite candidate is not i n present c i rcumstances theel ig i t b w l : l;° : rt i t e ui m sn i b l e r ofs both pledged vindicating their to free r opinions trade andref orm. —(Cheers.) and reurn " teg °P _(Cheers.) I perceive there is great unanimity among us. I am proposed by the agent from the opposite party, seconded by one of their principal supporters, and they mike it appear that there is no real dif ference between us. As far as I can under stand, Mr. Hodgson is a Free-trader, a Reformer, and a friend of economy and retrenchment. It so, I should really like to know what is the matter in dispute between us.—(Cheers and laughter.) Why am I so little eligible, and h o so much to b e preferred? Mr. Hodgsou , s seconder was somewhat severe upon me per sonally. He said I had perambulated England, and re presented many places, an d t h at C ar li s l e, if i t should now return me, might probably be called the asylum for the deatitute. Now, have I shown an unwilling• ness to appear before popular assemblies? True, I have years ago, I had the honour of representing represented other places, but it is equally true that, sslervice, I come again before the electors of Cheers)— a ane now, after thirty-two years of x( I challenge an investigation of my general Carlisle -(Cheers) and if, as you have been told, I have solicited the favaurs of other constituencies, I have com e home at last, anti it is in the city of Carlisle that / wa k e my appearance on a public hustings.—(Great cheering.) I am very unwilling to speak of myself, but the course that has been pursued renders it abso lutely necessary. Mr. Head, who proposed Mr. flodg son, stated, as oats of the reasons for preferring that gent l e man to me, that many individuals here had re ceived favours from him. I can preter no such claim to an y man's vote.--(Applause.)

His Lordship has declared that, dreading the inroads of democracy, he is pr e p ared make a stand agiinst e its further incursions, and to to t hi s P eiAlectilitnhharbebe raise leaders to stey its progress. My experience lead s we to this conclusion—that she utmost wisdom of pul ley is, to know not only what concessions to make, ' but whets to make them.—(Cneers.) Timely conce ss i ons are amicable arrangements with friends, while tardy and reluctant concessious are a dangerous triumph extorted by fear from an unwilling adversary. Sp ea ki ng only in a conservative sense, timely concession is the greatest proof of conservative wisdom in any statesman. With your permission I will make one or two observ a ti ons it, il lustrat i on of' this tpint.

I vill not deny that in the course of 32 years of public service, I have committed nsany error s , b u t. I mus t say ttis, that into that eventful period the revolutions of ages sad been crowded, and it cannot be expected of me that in the short space of h a lf an hour I should be able to vindicate all the decisions I have had to take under circumstances of difficulty —of the most pressing ddlea my.—(Applause.) To judge of my conduct fairly y,,u s iuuld keow all th e motives, all the circumstances which influenced my judgment in each particular case; and, need I say that time would fail me were I to attempt to lay them open before you. Thi,, , itself. .With respect to the British colonies, extending as they.4o to ,the utmost limits of Abe earth, I have given my strenuous support to all attempts to emancipate thorn from the thraldom and overweening kill wee° of the mother country. In short, I have borne my part with the best men in their best actions during the last • thirty-two years, and • I can honestly say with Burke, "I can shut the book; I might wish to rea d a page or two more, but I have done enough for the r a il measure' of my anibition,. and I have endea voured not to live in vain. —(Great applause.) Well, then, after Oransbulating England, I have come home at last, and once more appear b fore the Carlisle consti tuency,. I bite° no personal object to gratify.—(Some laughter. on the hustings.) The. gentlemen who pro posed and seconded me on the other side should not mock me with derision. If they think I have any per sonal object to gratify, why did they nominate me as a candidate?—(Applause.) I repeat that I am influenced by no personal object on this occasion. I see a great public interest at stake, and I think it of the last im portance that this capital of the borders should send no doubtful voice to the approaching Parliament.—(Lond cheers) If the electors of Carlisle think that fie e trade can be safely entrusted to the guardianship of itr ene mies, let them return a Deibyite; if, on the contrary, they think it should be entrusted to the guardianship of its friends, let them return me and Mr. Ferguson. If the electors of this city shall be of opinion that the time has arrived when, with reference to the public interest, I should withdraw f.om the public service, I will respectfully retire; if, on the other hand , they be o f opinion that my labours may still be useful le the public, I am content for a short time longer to give to the public my best exertions,(Cheering ) I cannot promise you that they wilt be more z-alous, more energetic, than they have been, nor am I vain enough to expect that my exertions can be attended with greater success than has crowned my past efforts. It now only remains for me to thank you cordially for the kindness with which you have beard me. I bear no resentment to any gentl eman oppos i te; an d if, during this contest, I have uttered 4 syllable offensive totreany one it has been unintentionlly.—(Applause.) I say, with the utmost possible respect, that you, the electors, have a great duty to perform. You have to decide who, on the whole, are t h e persons fi test to represent the city of Carli.le. I leave the case in your heeds, and abide your decision with anxiety, but also with .great confidence.—(Cheers.) Mr. 1 - I ,, DGSON said the time had arrived when the electors of Carlisle were called upon to return two re presentatives to Parliament. Never had they been called upon to exercise the privilege of electors under more trying circumstances, and it became them to select as their representatives men in whose political honesty, courage, and consistency they could confide. A sneer had boon passed on him on the alleged ground that he had thought fit to change , his mind on certain political questions; but he hoped to satisfy them, before he con cluded, that be had been guilty of no inconsistency whatever.—(Applause.) No one'could canvass the con stituency of Carlisle without being aware of its opinion on the question of tree trade. The Right Hon. Baronet had twitted him as if be had changed his opinions on that question; but be told the Right Hon. Baronet to his face that he (Mr. Hodgson) was a free trader long before he was.—(Cheers.) The candidates for shoes he had voted in Carlisle had alWays been free-traders. That was the case with Sir Philip Musgrave when he opposed Mr. Crowen with Mr. Garnett and Sir J. Malcolm. Never in his life had be done anything so much against free trade as when he voted for the Right Hon. Baronet.—(Cheers and laughter.) In the Right Hon. Baronet's printed address he told the electors to ask him whether he (Mr. Hodgson) was a supporter of Lord Derby's Government. Without hesi. mums he would avow that he was.—(Applause.) If elected he would be a general supporter of Lord Derby's Government, and be would tell them why. On looking around, and viewing the aspect of political affairs, he cense to the conclusion that no other Government could be formed than that which Lord Derby presided over.— (APPlatise and laughter.) The late Government died a natural death. Lord Lansdowne declared in the House of Lords that he was almost salaamed of being a mem ber of it for the last twelve mouths of its existence, so im becile and tottering was its condition. During that period the Government could parry no measure which it thought essential for the good of the country. But. if it were thought important to have Lord John Russell at the, head of affairs, he must. be allowed to ask the Right. lien. Baronet why he was not in his place in Parliament to defend him when he needed support ? When Lord John Russell declared, in February last, that, if Lord Palmerston's amendment to the Militia ' Bill should be carried, he would resign office, did Sir James Graham's conduct evince any earnest desire to maintain in power a Free-trade Government? He saw °l !' Bight Hon. Baronet in the House above five or ten minutes bef ire the division took elice, but when the di vision bell rang be was non est inventus.—(Cheers and laugteer.) The Right lion. Baronet on that occassion did not come forward to supp rrt his friend, and he did not wonder at it. Let him ask this question, too: — Who made the most virulent and acrimonious speech against the Whig Gevernmene on the motion for inquiry jute the foreign policy of Lard Palmerston? The Right Hon. Baronet. Where was free•trade then ? ( Applause.) Who again made the most acrimoniuu. speech and did his best to throw out the Government on the question of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill? Free trade Was never thought of until it was desired to get rid of' Lord D.eey'a Government, and then the cry was got up 'for the occasion.—(Cheers.) He had long bee n a tree trader, and would continue so, an d would never vote for any m , asure calculated to dimini s h the benefits which the people had derived from free trade. Re was not in England when the corn laws were repealed, out Mr. Mounsey, who prop ose d Mr, Ferguson this day, then signed a petition- against their. repeal. Yet 31r. Mounsey now came forward to preside over meetings at which mon o p o li sts were denounced. ' What he said ought to s a t i s f y the people that it was n ecessary to h-eir both s id es of the question.—(Cheers ) Let them not accept as tr ue the , st a t e ments ma de on the other side as to his being oppose t to the interests of the Poor man. T he R gist Hon. Baronet had alluded to a measure of Chancery reform being in contemplation • ''ektre the present G ,vernment came into office; but while the Whigs were talking about reforming Court of Obancery. Lord Derby had done it.—(Cheers.) The question bad bean on the tapir for 2 5 years, hut Lord h erby; assisted by the greatest lawyer of the day , Lord St , . e Leonard's, had settled it in three months.— (Cheers.) fie believed that Lord Derby was actuated by the best and noblest feelings towards the people. If the condi tion Of the poor handloom weayers could . be improved, he believed that Lord Derby was the man to do it.— (Cheers.) It was only the other day a distinguished m ember of the Government informed him that be was di sposed, in the next session, to bestow his earnest con sideration on that stieject. He could readily give his as sent to every war d which had fallen from the Right Bon. Baronet on the subject of reform; but the Right Leon; Baronet had left himself a loophole by which he could evade that question. The Right Hon. Baronet did not Stat e whether be wanted.a. 5 /. , a 2 /. or a 11. suffrage. It would appear, from the, language of the Right Hon. Barmen's proposer, that he was. fer universal suffrage; but to th a t m easure he (Mr. Hodgson) was decidedly opposed.—(Cheers.) Allusion to the ballot had been avoided today, and if he mistook not, there was as much difference of opinion on that question between his opponents 'as there was' between himself and Sir J. Graham on any other point. Allusion having been made to retrenchment, be might be permitted to say that he lied voted for 'every motion for retrenchment except one brought forward by Mr. Cobden, which would have sweptaway ten millions.of taxes at once, and endang , -red the interest of the debt. When the Right H in. Baronet's friends spoke of his being the friend of Reform arid retrenchment, he must remind them that he never voted for Mr. Hume's motion for Reform, nor did he vote for Mr. Henley's and Mr. Drunitneno's moriona for retrenchment.—(Cheers.) Before concluding, he !must enter his earnest protest against the con itter of the opposite party, for causing some persons to be apprehended by . the police and p l aced iu the corpora tion dungeon for merely expressing disapprobation at a . pablio meeting on Friday last. —(Cheery) He would • also explain how it happened that his friends had pro posed Sir James Graham, The fact was, they were in formed that some of the Right Hon. Baronet's friends Sir JAMES GRAIJAM said, it wag true he was not a Derbyite, and . what Mr. Hodgson had stated must have. satisfied • th' tn .be was not a Russellite. He did not vote for Lord John Russell's Militia Bill be cause he did. not . approve of the scheme as ne announced it.- Dr. Lousdale asked what " ite " he now was. He had been a Peelite, but he was now re solsed not to bind himself in the fetters of any party, but would do hie best as private Member of Parliament, or in any situation whichet might be the pleasure of the Crown to call on bim.• to fill,—(Applause.) He would not bind himself' in the fetters of party so as to prevent him. from exercising an iedependent judgment as to the fittest mode in which his country could be served. Therefore, he was neither a Dernyito nor a Rassellite; but his object was to be the independent member ior Carlisle, free to express his opinions in the House of Commons on all important questions as they might arise. —(Cheers.) That brought •him to the question of re form. He certainly had been of opinion that the exten sion of the suffrages given by the Reform Act of 1832 was so extensive, that-it would have lasted his time. He now, however,. was •clearly of opinion that since the Queen had announced from the Throne that a revision of the Act of 1832 was necessary, and since Lord J. Russell, then First Minister of the Crown, who was his colleague in introducing the Act of 1832, had himself acknowledged that it was marked by great inieerfee tions, it was his (Sir Jamas Graham'a) opinion that a revision of • the measure was indispenable. Then, he Wag asked what franchise he was prepared to support? He would tell them he was not satisfied with the new Reform. Bill introduced by the late Whig Go vernment. It sinned in one particular—it did not recur to the principles of the Act of 1832, which was the dis franchisement of small rotten boroughs, and the ex:en; sion of the franchise to towns containing large numbers of intelligent citizens.—(Cheers.) If we are to revise the Reform Act, I think we must begin where we left of We must look to see wbether there are any de cayed boroughs' to be disfranchised, and whether the franchise cannot be ben«-ficiall, extended to large com munities not at.present enjoying it; and with respect to cities and boroughs, he bai' no hesitation in saying it appeared to him that the old English basis of residence and 'rating would be the legitimate foundation of any fu- Lure extension of the suffrage.—(Cheers.) In conclu sion, he hoped that his answers to Dr, Lonsdale's ques tioos would secure him thu gentleman's vote. Dr Lonsdale's questions were then put to the other candidates, and obtained from them answers substan tially the same as those given by Sir J. Graham. The MAYOR then tcl a show of hands, and decided that it was iu favour of Sir J. Graham and Mr. F. rguson, whereupon a poll was demanded for Mr. Hodgsou, cud fixed for to-morrow. The assembly then quietly dispersed. The final result of the pull yesterday was— Sir J. Graham ... ••• ... 509 W. Ferguson ... W. Hodgson 494 "' ••• o. 417 GLASUOW (et ry).

We must reduce the duty on tea, which, as it at present stands, may be considered as a tax on temperance. If no one else does, I propose to bring in a measure of this kind myself, viz., to reduce the duty to one-half of what it now is. —(Great cheering.) Mr. Ileum was received with loud cheers.

Th- old cry of Pr.itestantiam in tla- coutriy districts wAs revived on this occasion; and alihougn the late Member (Mr. Heneage) declared his adherence to Protestantism during the whole of his life, and his deter mination to oppose the Maynooth grant, should he find, upon examination, its proceeds and its diffusion applied to purposes alien to the intention of the grantees, he was defeated on going to a poll by 56. Party pique is sup posed to have a great deal to do with this return, but there is no doubt it will act as a salutary caution to the Liberal interest to be more careful in future, CARLISLE. CARLISLE, TE lURSDAY.—Yesterday the mayor opened his court for the elicuon of two Members to serve in Parliement for this city. The hustings were erected in the Market-place, iu Irons of the Town• hall. The usual form tlities having been gone through, a 0 situation" of a novel and whimsical character presented itself, and seemed likely to have the effect o' postponing the election, which many thousands in front of the hust ings had assembled to witness and take part in. It is usual for the ex-leathers to be nominated first, but tram some cause —perhaps to avoid the disadvantage of being followed by two opponents in succession--the friends of Mr. Hodgson were not desirous that the cus tomary course should be followed on this occasion. An unlooked-for pause therefore occurred, and when a' length the supporters of Sir James Graham and Mr. Ferguson called upon their opponents to proceed, the l at t er politely intimated" that" Sir James Grand© having held high office, and being a Privy Council lor, w as entitled to precedence. In vain did Sir J. Graham's friends waive the proffered distinction; his punctilious opponents conld not on any account be guilty of a breach of etiquette. The two parties, therefore, stood looking at each other like app, sing armies, with arms grounded during a temporary truce. The conver sation on the hustings being carried on in a low tone, the crowd in , front of the hustings were quite ignorant of the state of affairs above, and, .although wondering at the delay, bore it with great patience and good humour — qualities which characterised their demeanour through out the whole proci elings of the day.; Atter about a quarter of an hour had elapsed, a man in the crowd caused considerable merriment by addressing to the mayor, in the tone and dialect at Cumberland, " M r • Mayor, is there no c an did ates? " Time wore on, but still no sign was given by either party. When nearly half an hour badpassed in this strange fashion the town clerk intimred that he would advise the mayor to ad journ the court. The Conservatives seemed prepared to endure even this insult with indifference. At length it began to be whispered that any elector might nominate Mr. Hodgson if the gentleman who had been selected by his own party to perform that service did not think pro per to du so. This reaching the ears of th e other party brought matters to a crisis, for, amid ranch merriment and some disapprobation on the part of the people in front of the hustings who could not at once understand how matters stood, Mr. Rouou, the Conservative agent, and Mr. PER RING, the editor of the Patriot, the Conservative news. paper, at once stepped forward and proposed and se conded Sir J. Graham as a fit and proper person t o represent the city of Carlisle in Parliament. Mr. G. N. BEAD then proposed /Slr. Hodgson and Mr. J. Nausosr seconded the nomination,in doing which he alluded to the many places which Sir J. Graham had represented, and said that if Carlisle elected him it Would be called the city of refuge. Mr. J. DIXON and Mr. J. IRvitia, disregarding the previous nomination of Sir J. Graham by his opponent s , now nzain propo s ed and seconded his nomination as a candidate. Mr. MouNsET proposed, and Mr. CARTWELL seconded the notnieation of Mr. Ferguson, the other candidate in the Liberal inrerest. J . 17 L Y 95 1852, at least, I can say—l have acted in the face of day. My Public i if e ,ither tor good or cvi. , —atere!s in a clear light. Is is in the pcwer of every man to jud 4 e what, on the whole, has been the eourse my p roc , e ,ti ng. tell you—not Ott my own acc , int, bu far the sake of public tr,n in general—it is for the interest o f the public that y u should not pry too cl •sely into the characters of public men. nor bunt too narrowly for particular excep tions to their general conduct. L tok rather to the general tenor of their lives. Try them by this test—has avarice or ambition misled them from the path of public duty—have they, in the course of long public service, gained honours and advantages for them selves at the post of the public? Try me by this test, awl I .fear not the result.—(Loud cheering.) If, on the whole, my conduct will bear this test, would you act wisely and justly to mark the close of such a public life with your reprobation?—(No.) And let me glance at what I have done. I have helped out of office to secure to the great body of my fellow subjec - s through-iut the United Kingdom perfect equality of civil rights without religious distinction. In the service of the Crown I helped to wipe away the great reproach of freedstm by the emancipation of the negroes in the British CJlonies. In office with:Lord Grey and Lord John Russell, I was intrusted with the preparation of the Reform Act, and on that occasion I certainly had the good fortune, greatly to extend the popular rights of my fellow citizens —(Cheers.) When in power I was a party to issuing the commission of inquiry from which emanated :he great measure of muuicipal reform that established the principle of self-government in our cor porations. I Pure there cannot be a popular •as sembly in which the names I atn about to Indation will not command sympathy ,a respect. Ie conjunction wish my departed triend Sir Rabert Peel—(lleat, h. ar) —I was fortunate enough to n)ntribute to the gr.-at un dertakin4 of supplying the people of this country with cheap bread. I also- aided that. great statesman in repealing. all the duties on the raw material of manufacture by means of which, and the measure °afore alluded to, the food and clothing of the poor and needy have .• been greatly chea pened.—(Cheers.) More than this, I did my best, and not unsuccessfully, to establish the peace of Europe, by cem-nting those amicable relations with foreign powers which tree trade and extended commerce never fail to bring in their train. Is tbis all? Great attachment to Law reform is professed on the other side. Be'ote I leU office in 1846, I prepared a County Courts Bill, which I gave to my successor, and, almost without change, it has become the law of the land.—(Cheers.) Even the other day—out of office—unb eight; and having no per. sonal object to gratify, I devoted my time during last year almost exoiusively to the Commission of. Inquiry into the abuses of the Court of Chancery, from which emanated the measure of reform on account of which Lord Derby's Government has taken much credit to wore . about to propose him (Mr. HAgson), anti so they dreertaiitel to have the start of them.—(Cheers end lauciter.) Fits public lii:-. was before the elec.ors. they re' u. ned him they would find him undeviating in his attacl;ment to thconstifuLion and the Prot, , stant in stitutiong of the country. Snou d toe Plectors not return him the day fillet not be tar distant when they wouli that thPy bad at least one. Member who would stand up in•defence of . those Protvstant institutions on which be be!ieved the honour, glory, peace, and welfare of the empire essentially depended.—(Loud cheers.) Mr: FERGErsolki contended that at present the country enjoyed only an instalm,nt of free trade, and antici pated the greatest a dvanta g es from th e f u ll development of the system. The country having once tasted the blessings of free trade, he believed that no Minister, however powerful, would venture to reverse it; but it behoved the people to take care that nothing was done in a disguised form to give the rich compensation for the loss of prott stink at the expense of the poor.—(Cheers ) The present Ministers could not be trusted to carry out the free trade system. They were unwilling agent., and their inclinations were the other way. I'he soirii. of free trade was not in them, and their ruling principle was . protection. H-4 concluded by declaring his steady adherence to the gr.4at principles of reform which he had ever advocated, and retired amid great cheering. Dr. L , N3DALE thinight that, as Sir J. Graham was sure to hold the highest place in the next Administra (ton, it was desirable to ascertain his opinion on certain points to which he had not alluded in his arldre,s to the meeting. For this purpose he had d awn up certain questions to which he required answers from the Right in. Baronet. Sir J. GRAHAM said that Dr. Lonsdale had put into his hand four questions, to welch he would reply seriatim. The first qiinsfinn. was—" Would you in sty future case, like that of Hungary, where the liberties r f one State were interfered b> another and deapwic S ate (Ream), do your best to put an end to that interference and to resist it as a violation of right? " It was impos sible for any lover of freedom not to participate in the aspirations after freedom in all foreign countries, and h., knew.no limit to :practically.aiding. foreign countries in their endeavours to liberate themselves from the yoke of tyranny, except the paramount obligation of not lovely tug this country...in a war on..eccouet of interference iu affairs not our own. The second question was—" Would you, in the case of a people, now despotically governed, throwing off the yoke by their own energies, and setting up a new Government by a revolution of their own making, urge the immediate and full recognition of that Government by ours?" To this question he could give a practical answer The great motto of Lord Grey's Go vernment, in addition to reform and retrenchment, was non-interference in the affairs of foreign countries. Act ing in accordance with this motto, L rd Grey's Go veroment, following the example of their predecessors, recognized the Government of Louis Philippe, whom a revolution hid raised to the throne of France. Again, another revolution separated Belgium from Holland, and raised it into an independent kingdom, and in that case also L it'd Grey's Government recognized the newly created authority. Thirdly, when Louis Philippe wts expelled from France by another revolution, and a Re public established in that country, the British Govern ment acknowledged the new order of things—a course of which he entirely approved. The third question was —".Would you oppose any measures—an extradition Bill, recourse to letter opening, or the like—which could have for its object the restriction of the rights of refugees to find an asylum in England, safe from all PaPionage on the part of our Government?" He would make E ng l an d a secure asylum to all foreigners seeking an asylum from the oppression of other Governments in any part of the world; but, in return, he would re quire that these. foreigners' ebould not abuse our hos pitality by conduct which would endanger the peace of Europe. As to extradition he approved of the agreement into which' we had entered wiA Franco and' . America f ur the mutual surrender of three classes of c r iminals--natuely, murderers, forgerers, Ftevvd'oforfuaoludrdtyuholeeunetniffibaciainenntkatrinpuipts.
