MIDDLESEX NOMINATION. (THIS DAY.) (BY EXPRESS.) The Nomination. cf Candidates for the representation cf the ° County of Middlesex, took place this morning at Brentford. At half-past nine the Tory Candidates entered the town, with a numerous and showy procession of horsemen and barouclies, and a profusion of banners, ribbons, ee.c. In the mean time a mob of labourers, decor:Aral with the Tory colours, had t a I possession of the front of the hustings, and the horsemen who • accompanied this procession, formed a semicircle round this body, so as completely to exclude ail of the opposite party who had not yet arrived, and were completely shut out. We should say that in the carriage with Messrs. Wood and Pownal, were Sir Henry Hardinge, Colonel Clitheroe, and Sir John Gibbon. At ten o'cl oc k prec i se l y the Sheriffs opened the proceedings with the usual forms, and the preliminaries had been gone through before the procession attending Messrs. Hume and Byng arrived, and found the ground, and even the hustings pre -occupied by their opponents. Immediately upon the ap pearance of the late Members upon the hustings, the most deafening - yells were raised from the mob in Tory colours. In the meantime an effigy of the King of Hanover was elevated in a cart at the verge of the crowd, and being made to bow taccasionallv towards the hustings, was actually greeted with considerable cheers, although from the more distant part of the meting we heard vehement groaning. Mr. Sheriff DUKE trusted that the assembled el ec t or , world egive to every person who addressed them a fair and im parfiel hearing. He trusted that they would not allow any differences of opinion in the conduct of public men to Pr treat them from doing that for which Englishmen, reeve proverbial—giving justice to all. He trusted they would "tea it be said that every one at the election had had fair play ; fhat the battle had been fairly fought and the victoryfairly uvon.—( Cheers. ) kr. SAMUEL. WITITBEEAD then came forward amid cheers and confusion to propose Mr. Byng. It was now seven years since he had retired from the public situation which, through the confidence of the electors of Middlesex he had so long held as their represeatative.—( Cheers and confusion.) It was with the truest pleasure that he met on this occasion so many of his old constituents and supporters—the supporters, he did not hesitate to say, of right principles.—( Cheers.) As Jore_oa as Mr Byng remained the Representative of the County sef l'iliddleaex, so long were the electors sure to see him (Mr. Whitbread), as he should always claim the right to the honene of proposing. He called it an honour, not in flattery to Ma. Byng ; but his creed was, that whenever a man pro pos ed another he identified himself with the opinions of the pr.rson he proposed.—( Cheers, and confusion.) The long. :services cf Mr. Byng, which extended over a period of forty seven years, was a sufficient guarantee for his future conduct. Ile (Mr. W.) always considered it an honour to be identified with so independent a man, and so consistent a politician. A man who had proved himself a friend of the country both publicly and privately.—.(Greet laughter. considered that Mr. Byng stood in a situation far different from that of any other man who could be proposed to the electors that day. The highest compliment he could pay him would have been to have sad,Gentlemen, I propose Mr. Byng.—( Greet cheering And confusion.)—He was, however, unwilling not to give those gentlemen, who through bad advice had come forward in opposition to the two old representatives of the county, an opportunity of cavilling at anything he might say out of the usual course.—(Cheers and confusien)— an d therefore it was t hat he h a d sa id so muc h of Mr. Byng as a candidate. Wit), respect to' the era at which this country had arr'.ved in politics, he would take this first op- Partunity of pressing upon the electors the neces mity_tbe great necessity of returning men as their Re :presentatives who were the uncompromising supporters of her Majesty's Government. —( Great cheering and much confusion, and cries of " No, no," from several persons on the hustings.) Mr. Sheriff Duke here stated to the mob around the hustines, who wore the Tory colours, that if they did not conduct them selves differently he would have them removed. Mr. Wood, one of the candidates, begged of them to be quiet. Several of the constables cried out " Why did you hire them ?" Order baying been in some measure restored, Mr. Whit bread immediately proceeded. There had been some disapprobation, even on the hustings.—( Cries of " Out with it.") So be would, if they would give him an opportunity. The Traies must intend to do one of two things—they must either wish to regain power for the sake of holding it, intend. log ao carry the measures which they now deprecated ; or they ineended to gain power for the purpose of withholding jus nice to the' country.—( Cries of " No, no," and " Yes, yes.") in his conscience he believed that upon the decision of the electors of England depended whether they should have a peaceful or a turbulent reign.—(Great cheering.) With re she pect to the opposition that had been got the country, up in had seen enoug h of oppositions not to treat them with in as significanc e , but h e treate d t h e present opposition without fear to s result. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by propos ing Mr. Byng HENRY T UF . VELL. ESC / . came ferward to second the noMi tatiea of his Hon. Priend'Mr. 13vng. It was now near for ya! since his (Mr, ' at, ading forth aell father had the honour of Friend, endseiete-nagdsiiin:_eh.e advocate and sueporter of his Hon. honn ur of him unfeigned pleasure to have the tsion. He begged thbe his nomination on the present occa_ electors to bear in mind that Mr. Byng Was not an untried man—he was a man who had never swerve d from his :svittipegpoesr:eda_t_io the. bpesrtincoifplleisi; but had upon all occasions abiiity their rights and pri nu endeavoured to advance their interests. There was no man more worthy of th e con fid ence o f t h e ehetors or more entitled to their respect than his Hon. Friend. He was the soldier who had fought their thousand battles in the field, but his victories were bloodless ones ; his only trophies were the manacles struck from the limbs of the slave, and the disgraceful laws which he has as sisted in repealing..—(Applause and disapprobation.) He trusted then, that the people of this county would not again solunit to Tory domination, by allowing too Tory Candidates to be forced upon them, nor agree that Englend should ever look to Hanover for the principles which should direct its Government. Mr. H. WARBURTON, M. P., then came forward to preros e the nomination of Joseph Hume, Esq., and was received with a mixture of cheers and yells. Ho bad stood forward as the supporter of his friend, Mr. Hume, who had been himself the friend of Reform and retrenchment in the Douse of Commons, and he was determined to stand by tine on these hustings on the same grounds. His Hon ourable Friend had, by his unceasing exertions exposed the nefarious rnismanasse - ment and extravagance of the Tory chief eho had so long held domination over the destinies of this eountry.—(Cheers.) The electors of the county of Mid dlesex had seven years ago testified their approbation of his Hon. friend's conduct by returning him as their representative, and he now came forward with additional claims for their con- Edenc e and support. He (Mr. Hume) had since that period shaL upported the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts ; he been a zealous supporter of the Bill for securing Parliansen ,tarY Refor m; h e h a d ass i sted in the Municipal Corporation Re the Act ;h e h a d exposed the iniquities of Orange Lodges and reprehensibl e con d uct of the Duke of Cumberland with reference to them. Surely for these beneficial acts he ( Mr. i t t nle) deser ve d t h e support of the electors, and therefore he %(Mr, Warburton) begged leave to call upon them for that Tort which they had given him on former occasions._ iCi a "r , and uproar.) They were the more called upon to do a r c' ''etause, if ever there was a period which required a firm ste,Pdaunted champion of the people's rights, who would is e . ot. , forwa r d i n oppos i t i on to the Tories, who, it ap to : 8 ) Wer e d eterm i ne d not to perm i t the Liberal party ap e , - upon their well-earned l aure l s , b ut seeme d i ntent whi c ' h Pulling, them down, and again resuming that power At s h Lthey had so long ahused.—( leproer and cheers.) ez e „,"en a period it required the advocacy and support of a th,l7 - "Y, he proved.) would say of many men—possessing of !on heart, ntegrity, and unflinching perseverance I Hon. Friend Mr. flume. Upon these grounds it was ;e b egged leave to nominate him as a fit and proper person to I:present the county of Middlesex in Parliament.—(Cheers thenT( Mr. Hume's friends, mingled with groans and hisses from ory party.) MlOnrs TRAVERS, Esq., begged to second the nomination of r. Hume. He said it was his first appearance before the electors of that great county, and if they would be pleased to give him a fair hearing, he promised not to detain them long. He need hardly inform the meeting that he felt it not only a duty but a pleasure to stand forward in support of a gentleman who had rendered such essential services to his country, and who had in addition conferred individual benefit an each individual in the realm. It was with this feeling that he came forward to second the nomination of Mr. Il urne•--(Cheers and confusion.) It should be borne in mind that Mr. flume was no ordinary mar,. Let them bear in mind bis straightforward and consistent career since he entered Par liament. Did they not remember that he stood up singly and almost without support to rage war against that nest of abuses Which the thieves of borough mongers had been instrumental in t su pporting, and that for doing so he had met with every re oads, and had every stigma cast upon him ? But Mr. zelame's spirit was unbroken ; and in was to the honest and in dependent p urpose of his life to extend, to consolidate, and str engthen the liberties of the peoiele.—(Cheers.) They all ot Ow ed to hi m a deep debt of gratitude, as he was the man who ?od up in th e worst of times to oppose the aggressions of the val gerehy, and w h o, when corruption was in its greatest pre ne, applied a ll hi s energies to procure the retrenchment of the public exp en di ture, and by his watchful attention had S u cceeded n _ at le ng th i n controlling and limiting it.—( Cheers d uproar.) Who wait but Mr. Hume that presented so sorree • !ttelabl e a front, so impassible a barrier, to the encroach nts of the Aristocracy ?—(ilar and ciWho bad sho wn hi mself the best frien e d of religion r and of the C hurch,. e b y endeavouring to correct those abuses which atened to overturn it.—(Great cheering and groaning.) "a 0 was it that on a recent occasion detected and exposed, and frustrat e d t h at most infamous of all Travers) Orange bej s e P ir !cY, which was i n t en d e d, as h e (Mr. Travers) hon est ly LoLo v eu, to alt er t h e success i on to the throne ?—(" No, no.

He possessed th e pews , r qualities that were most adapted to the service of ra ge _ ,P,'.as a re presentative. Look to his undaentcd te inficeibP'scou neY and hi; 1r Y fixedness of purpose—his con.,,is public man 1;41t'"u" industry. Was there any quality in a er the% political consistency, which was never altered by the smiles of office or the temptations of place. Hear.) The Tories attempted to malign his character, but it was unassailable, and especially by those who had so little character themselves. No man stood higher in the esti mation of his country, and the name of Hume will be immortal in the history of our times.—(Cheers, laughter, and groans.) He (Mr. T.) called upon the people of Middlesex to support Mr. Hume, but for the honour of that Gentleman, not as a re ward for his past services, or an acknowledgment of his merit, but for their own sakes end the good of the country.—( Cheers and great uproar.) If they deserted their own cause, and turned their backs upon Mr. Hume on this occasion, he, (Mr. T.) confidently prophesied that they would ever repent it. Colonel CLITHEROE came forward to nominate Mr. Wood, and he was for some time inaudible, from the uproarious cheering of Mr. Wood's parts', and the groans and hoot ings of the crowd beyond then. His said he could not expect so calm and undisturbed a hearing upon this oc casion as upon o ne o f l ess excitement, and he would content himself Lich proposing Charles Wood, EAT , Littleton,of as - a et an d proper person to represent this county in Parliament, an d ns the man who would oppose th e machi nations of O'C onne ll and his tail. —( Loud cheers a nd groans ) That agitator would trample on everything dear to English rnen, and it was the duty of every man, who valued the honour and lib ert i es o f his country to' assist in crushing the tail.— (Cheers. ) Sir J. GIBBON, in seconding the nomination of his friend Mr. Wood, wished to make one or two observations upon the addresses of those gentlemen who had proposed the other candidates, but on account of the uproar of cheering and groans we followed him with great difficulty. Tho electors had been told that Mr. Byng was the paragon of consistency. —(Hear.)—But how was his present conduct consistent with his previous life and character? Ile had now wade him self the first link of Hume's tail.—( Cheers.) Was it con sistent of Mr. Byng to form a coalition, to bind himself up with a man who had recently declared in the House of Com mons that he would vote black was white? Byng had said that:he could not desert a man who bad done so much service to the country. But how did Mr. Hume behave in return ? Why, as soon as he got into Parliament he made a violent attack on his friends.—( Hisses.) It was pretended that the Tories would wrest their liberties from the people. But what have the Whigs done for the liberties of the people ?—(Cheers, and groans.) They made a great boast of their love of economy. To be sure they economized in some small things, but how many hundreds of Commissioners had they appointed with large salaries, and without necessity.---( Uproar.) It had been said that if the Conserve is, a got into i ower—( Laughter, and cries of " Dont you wish you may get it?"). —they would take away the liber ties of the people.—(Cheers.) All he would say was, that those men now iii power had already done so. They had given liberty to those who supported them, and taken it from their opponents. He would not detain them longer than by saying, that let the Conservatives come into power when they would, the country would not get a worse set of men than those whom their late representatives supported. He cordially seconded the nomination of Mr. Wood, and would call upon the electors, if Mr. Hume said anything, to ask him whether he meant to say that white was black, or black white ?—( Hissing and groans, with partial clitmeiros.) J. S. STRACIIAN, Esq., then came forward, and said he stood there with very great satisfaction to propose as a fit and proper person to represent the county of Middlesex in Parlia ment, his Hon. Friend Henry Pownall, Esq.—( Hisses.) If his friend had no claim upon them for past services, on the other hand he had no political sins to coefess—no political errors to retract or repair. The only character in which Mr. Pownall was kn iwn to them:was in that of a private gentleman residing in their neighbourhood, and amongst those who knew him he fearlessly asked whether there was any gen tleman in the neighbourhood who was more entitled to the respect, affection, and confidence of the electors of that great esenty ? He (Mr. Strachan) would never be a party to a contest of personalities—that was a contest of principles. He asked, fearlessly, whether there was known among the electors a gentleman who was more the friend to all things which tended to the welfare of the people ?—( Oh, oh.) It was on his character as a friend of the people that he (Mr. S.) stood by him on that occasion. He saw a banner before him, claiming for their opponents to be the friends and supporters of the education of the people. Even on that ground he would meet them, and ask, who had been more the friend of the people in that point than Mr. Pow ; and he would point to the schools in the neighbourhood which had been instituted by Mr. Pownall.—( Cheers, and cries of " Humbug 1") Their Hon Friends claimed and justly claimed, that they were en titled to support, because they lied supported that great achieve ment, the abolition of slavery ; but without wishing to pluck one feather from the cap of any one, he would say it was the people who had won that glorious achievement, and who had been more zealous in the cause than Mr. Pownall ? His whole life had been spent in promoting the mitigation of misery, the spread of knowledge, and the promotion of religion, and everything which would tend to the welfare of the people. While h's motto would be justice to all, he never w ou ld ma k e a fraudulent compact with one party which would tend to the annihilation of another, which was the great support of the Church. To the Church, as e‘tablished by law, he would be an honest and unflinching friend—( Hisses) —while he would to every abuse be found an unflinching and holiest opponent. He would be the friend of rational economy, while to pre tended economy lie would ever be opposed. The Queen would never find a more loyal subject, the people a more stanch friend, or the county a more intelligent and consistent Legislator.—( Hisses.) General Sir EDWARD BARNES seconded the nomination of Mr. Povima 1, amidst groans, cheers, and great uproar. He saw that they were impatient to hear the sentiments of the several candidates, and lie should therefore content himself with merely recommending to them Henry Pownall, Esq., as a fit and proper candidate to represent thetas in Parliament.— ( Cheers, and great uproar.) The SHERIFF then enquired if there were any other candi dates to be proposed, and being answered in the negative, GEORGE BYNO, Esq. came forward, and was received with loud and very general cheering. This was followed by great uproar and hooting from a knot of the Conservative party who were stationed in front of the hustings, and who commenced a fight. which soon became general. The uproar and confu sion having lasted for some minutes, Sir JAtki - ti s DUKE requested that the mooting would give Byng and all thq other candidates a patient hearing.— tenewed uproar and fighting.) The S:icriff then called for the high constables, and after the lapse of two or three minutes one of them appeared in frant of the hustings, and the sheriff directed him to have the persons fighting in frcnt of the hustings removed, for tho pre servation of the public peace.—(Great cheering.) A body of constables then proceeded into the crowd, the Conservative gentlemen on tl:e hustings crying ‘. Sname, shame." Order Ir:ing been by this means partially restored, Mr. BYNG proceeded as follows—Gentlemen I appear be fore you for the fourteenth time, to solicit the honour of your suppert.—(Applause.) And, Gentlemen, I can fearlessly assert, that I have served you with zeal and fidelity.—( Cheers. ) But, gentlemen, on the present occasion there are two gentle men who have come forward in the anti-Reform interest,— (" No, no," from the friends of the Conservative party.) What arc you?—(Great cheering.) They have come for ward against the two old Members who have on all occasions supported Reform.—(Great uproar.) Gentlemen, they say that there is no man in his senses who would give me 11;s sup port r fter allowing my name to be mixed up with Mr. Fume's after:his conduct to me. Gentlemen, I deny such an imputation against Mr. Hume ; that gentleman has always treated me with the greatest kindness and friendship. The next objection to me is, that I am an enemy to the Church.--( Cheers, and cries of " No, you are not.") Gentlemen, having lived now for many years, I have had opportunities without end of show ing my attachment to the Church. It is almost incredible for me to state to you the opportunities I have had of showing my attachment to the Church. Gentlemen, within the last two years and a half I have spent nearly 7,0001. in building churches.—( Cheers, and much confusion.) Gentlemen, I will tell you why they object to me. It is on account cf the part I took on the Church-rate question.—( Hear.) The Dissenters have only within the last two years stated that the Church was a grievance. If they tell us it is a grievance to them, as all happiness is in the mind—if the Dissenters can get rid of it. I say they are very much in the right to try to do so. If I was a Dissenter and could legally get rid of it, I would do so. Gentlemen, his Majesty's Ministers Wished to provide some substitute in the room of Church-rates, and for that purpose they moved certain resolutions in favour of which I voted, because until those resolutions had passed, they could not introduce any Bill upon the subject.—( Hear, and long continued cheering.) Gentlemen, to show you the spirit that actuates those who oppose me, they stated at the time, that those resolutions were under discussion, that it was the intention of Ministers by them to destroy all Church property. Now that I deny, and . I fearlessly assert their in tention was not to destroy, but to repair and beautify the in stitutions of the Church, and to give further security to the property of the Church.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I also voted for an inquiry into the amount of Church property, be cause I was of opinion that the clergy as a body were bound to see that the property of the Church was properly administered; and if they have not done so, I cannot see how they, as a body, should be exempt from inquiry. Gentlemen, those who profess to be supporters of the Church may talk as they please; I say, they are only nominally so ; and I should like to ask them how far they would come forward for the purpose of sub scribing to the reparation and rebuilding of Churches ? Gen tlemen, there is not one in ten among those who profess to be supporters of the Church would come forward and subscribe to such a purpose.—(Cheers.) The next objection to me is, that after the last contest I wrote a letter in severe language against the Tories.—( Tremendous uproar.) I deny that I did so the letter that I wrote was against those who called themselves Conservatives —(Cheers and increased confusion. )—Another objection to me is, that on the second day of the last election, I had influenced 400 of my friends to give their votes to Mr. Hume. I deny most emphatically and positively that I did so. I deny that I ever influenced a sin gle vote.—(Great cheering e and confusion.)—l deny Gen tlemen m os t p os iti ve l y , that I ever transferred the electors who voted for me over to Mr. Hume as so much 3 per cent. conTols.—(Great cheering and laughter.).—But gentlemen what have those who oppose me done.—(Great cheering)— I might accuse our Tory opponents of having descended to unfair and unhandsome means of opposing both myself and my Hon. Friend (Mr. Hume), but I do not intend to do so. They have spent a great deal of money in circulating hand bills and placards, in which nay personal character has been openly attacked. I do not accuse Mr. Pownall or Mr. Wood of havint done this, because I think those gentlemen altoge ther incap:sble of dcing so ; but a handbill has been sent forth in whieh it is broedly stated that I have sold nn self to the present Government. , —( Confusion, c h eers , and uproar.) I need hardly say in ,be prose nee oF those who new hoar me this statement is decidedly tint; ue____(Cheers and groass.) entered the House of Commons with a firm determination never either to ask or accept a favour—(Cheers)— an d to th determination I have most scrupulously adhered. ei s l nigh: had I been swinclined, obtained a peerage from the Duke c, Portland, at the time of his dissgreement with Mr. Fox Again, in 1806, I might have had a peerage from Mr. Fox, but I refused it—( Cheers)—and I did so for this re , . son, that I found fault with the mannncr in which Mr. Pitt had disposed of Peerages—( Cheers and groans)_. it being always my opinion that no peerage should le conferred unless for service rendered to the State. le e Peerage was to be conferred in me family I considered my brother more entitled than myself from his long services ii the army. [This part of the Hon. Gentleman's speech we almost entirely interrupted by the groans and confusion mice by the opposite party.] My brother, after having served abroad during the whole of the Peninsular wet., in which he never at mined a higher rank than that of Major-General, was on hi. return sent to the North of England to preseree the publi peace in that part of the country, and • he did so during period of 12 years, without having occasion during that tirre to fire a single shot.—(Cheers.) He was then re moved to Ireland as the Commander of the Forces, and we, mainly instrumental in restoring, in a great degree, the poem f that country.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, during the first forty years' of my public life in Parliament, I was uniformli opposed to the Government of the day—(Groans from th; Tories)—but I stand before you now as the supporter of her Majesty's present Ministers, who have also the confidence am. support of her Majesty.—(Cheers and yells.) [Here the calif for Mr. Hume became very loud, but the groaning surpassed anything of the kind we have heard for some time.] Mr.. Hums came forward, but was assailed with such a volley of groans and hisses from the opposite piny, mixed with the cheering of his friends, that it was some time before he could proceed. He at length said "If those good natured people who were making this noise could only hold their tongues, I would shortly offer a few observations to you. —( Hear, hear, and groans.) I stand before you not as an untried man. I have ever since I held a seat in Parliament been the inveterate opposer of the Torie I now present my self to you as the friend of freedom and of our Most Gracious Queen ; end I care not one farthing either for the Cumber land faction or the revolutionary principles ; and I here tell Sir John Gibbon, and all those who support the Duke of Curnherlend, that they are decided enemies to the liberties of this country. I tell them also that all friends of free institutions are thorns in the sides of the Tories.—( Hear.) I stand before you as a tried man, while the Tories stand con victed as the oppressors of their country. Who goaded and ground the people? The Tories. Who encumbered and over burdened the Civil List ? The Tories. Is there, I would ask, any one good act which can be attributed to them as body ? I know of none. It is true that there arc some good men amongst the Tories, and it is also true that some of there have recently changed their opinions ; but I have not changed my opinions—they are the same. I came here to seek the suffrages and support of my fellow-countrymen, without piecing any dependence upon the Tory magistrates, the ry clergy c r the Tory aristo wacy—( Loud groans and hisses) —I feel the ignorance of these men—they are groaning the voice which has been raised in the worst of times in their he'talf against oppression.—(Uptoar.)—Allusion has beet: mcdc to education—Gentlemen, who, I would ask, for 25 years has supported education in parliament, when the Tories opposed it ? I have.—( Cheers. )--Who h: a promoted every measure to relieve the pressure of taxation upon these unfor 'unato men? I have done it.—(Cheers.)—Did the Tories ever take off a tax ? No, gentleme-n. Pensions, sinecures, aod snug appointments have been the sale; objects of that government andithat Farty,—(Loud groaning.) It was their ui:iform policy, and they could not conduct a Government a to ere without corruption.—(Cheers, followed by great uproar Had hootieg from the Tory party. ) I should be ashamed of my self if I cleared the rail-road to hire men to come and dis tu b the public peace. We can only pity them.—(Cries of Who did it?") Who has done it? I ask. I have not done i:. Now, Gentlemen, I am, as I before stated to you, a steady advocate for all Reforms in Church and Stare. I supported the Refo:m Bill, which the Tories opposed. lam an advocate for the extension of the suffrage, which the Tories always op posed, lam for triennial Parliaments, which the Tories are adve se to. In short, lam an enemy to all the measures they support. lam an advocate for the vote by ballot against op pression, which the Tories have always opposed. lam for sup porting the Queen and her Reform Ministers, but the Tr:es are opposed to them. Look at their banners on which education is so conspicuously ernblezoned. Why, I was the advocate of education before Mr. Wood was out of trowsere —( Great laughter)--and I was the friend of education before M-. Pownall was known among, you. Gentlemen, I rejoice to find any man promoting the cause of education, and I would be that man's friend—it is one of those qualities of which I approve ; but in Mr. Pownali's case it is the only one which deserves the support of the Reformers. I would cor rect the abuses of the Established Church. For twenty years I have advocated reform in that Church ; and I tell my opponents, and every man, that I have been the hest friend of the Church by endeavouring to put an end to the abuses ex isting in it, and they are the enemies of the Church and Consti tution who would support the monstrous abuses by which that Church has been degraded and disgraced.—(Cries of " The Poor Lew Bill," and great groaning.) These unfortunate nick are keeping up a cry about the Poor Law 'all, but they for get that I have been the friend of the poor for eight Parliaments.—( Cheers.) lam ready to defend any vote of mine upon that and every other measure. I have been always the decided friend and advocate of Reform ; and if I had the power I would carry through every branch cf the Chu: oh and State, with a view of lessening the corruption that exists, and the evtravagant exeenditure that has resulted from it.--( Renewed groaning.) It is impossible, with such company as we have here to-day, to do more than repeat what I have done in every part of the county— ( Hear, hear)—and what I am prepared to state when an o f portunitywecene—..bat lam no altered man . L et me be judged by my conduct for the l ast twenty-five Years —( Cheer s : c ut ' :r at g e i n n e g vai e ,:ed t , h i t. e h rr e ia l ev t ne i d s c , oo t lf h l t e ti rnheuefeondriei theirl, a io s n an thatcu advocatefianr,d.yt and uproar.)

Ile .re to these presump tuoes men to settle that with their consciences. I have thrtughout opposed Tory principles and the Tory s it m—l have exposed the Duke of C um b ei land, and I happy to see him there.—( Pointing to th e e ffi gy, whi :h occasioned immense cheering and great lauohter.) He has always been the head of the Tories, and they rejoice in his support. His principles have been always theirs, and he has cedeavoured to carry them out by the abolition cf the liberCes of the people of Hanover. If you elect the two Tories who arc our opponents, you elect men who are opposed to reform, to civil and religious liberty, to her Majesty's Government, clad to her Majesty's principles.-_( Cheers.) El.ct them, and they will carry out the Duke of Cumber. lan I a system in England whenever they can.—( Cries from the Conservative candidates' friends in the hustings, w Th at ' s not fair.") The line between us is a broad and distinct mee— support Toryism and you hug oppression —support the Duke of Cumberland's party and you have nothing but slavery an d ospscssion to expect, with a severe military dominion. I take the other course.—( Tremendous uproar.) I am for Reform, and I wish I could reform these chaps_ (pointing to the mob.) I wish I could reform the Tories, who have left the country in the darkness which h as enabled such scenes to take place—they have always op pose d the enlightenment of the people. I have no hesita tion in saying that I quarrel with their principles--.I obj ec t to no man privately, but I say that those who profess prin cip es so injurious to the liberties of this country cannot be the friends of the human race, and I tell you that the result of good government in this country will be the spreading of liberality all over the world.—( Hear, hear, hear.) The people of England have now the choice —liberty to 'hem, and freedom to the world; cr if the Tories succeed, Hanoverian sauce to the whole country.—( Cheers and laughter.) As to personal remarks, I cat.:only say that I de spise them. I have been too long before the public, andj have stood up in times much more unfavourable than the pre sent—l have stood forward when the people—not in-such a mass as I see - here before me—were driven to forge their own chains by returning men of the same party as those who are now put forward against me and my late Hon. Colleague. One gentleman told you that Mr. Pownall is a friend to education. Well, I give him every credit for that : and there is another thing for which I also give him credit—l give him credit for supporting the Reform Bill. But he is now a turncoat.—(En , reaced uproar.) There, I see the name of Joseph Hume held up yonder. But you will never be able to say that Joseph Hume was a turncoat.--(Cheers and uproar.) I will ask Mr. Pownall to explain here how it is that after voting for the Reform Bill, he is now one of the tail of the Duke of Cumberland?-_( Increased uproar, aided by several gentlemen on the hustings, who were whistling and producing strange -noises by striking their hands upon their mouths, and other expedients.) Yes, the Duke of Cumberland is the head and leader of their party.—( Hear, hear.) They may talk of Dan. O'Connell and his tail. But where'is the Tory a -where is there one of the Cumberland tail, that can hold up his head to Daniel O'Connel the great agitator in the cause of his coun try, and of good government?—(Cheers and indescribable tu mult.)—Some gentleman says that I have got a tail, but I should be sorry to have such a tail as the Hanoverian Devil. — ( Cheers, laughter and groaning.)—The Tories cannot deny that they are his tail. I say nothing of them in their private life. I know that in England we have good men of every party, and Ido not quarrel with my opponents here to-day as men. It is with their principles I quarrel.—(The interrup tion was hero so great, that Mr. Hume was obliged to stop for sonic seconds. )—I see the name ofJoseph Flume held up there, bat who can say any thing about him ?—(Renewed uproar.) I have something more to say to you, but as I am overruled by those persons there, I will not detain you longer. I will only say, that if the people of Middlesex have altered their principles, I have not altered mine, and in God's name let them reject me. If they have altered from the principles of patriotism and public virtue—if they have adopted Hanoverian principles—then let them elect Mr. \Vocd and Mr. Pownall, who unquestionably are more fit to represent the principles of the Duke of Cumberland than my colleague or myself. I stand here as an independent man. I ask y ou to send me to . Parliament n o t as part o f any ta il, but as the representative of this great county, and the friend of the tights and interests of the whole people.—(Cheers.) rest my hopes upon the free suffrages of the enlight ened electors, which I value much more than the wt of ouch hirelings as the herd before me. I have no doubt the electors of Middlesex will draw the line distinctly. I have no doubt they will rightly discriminate between nay col- leaguge and myself on the one hand, ;as the supporters of the Queen and the friends of liberal principles, and Wood and Powaall, who are Tories by connection—Tories by pro ' ssion—and Tories in practice. If Tories be returned to Parliament by the peoale, the country will he placed in den rer of seeing its Constitution destroyed by the Ilmoverien rectum—( lean., hear. ) Every man whe wishes to have Hanoverian sauce every day of his life will vote for Mr. Wood and Mr. Pownall, but every friend of civil and re ligious liberty will vote for us. I have always been the ft iend of civil and religious liberty, and no one can honestly deny hat I have always been the zealous friend of the education of :he people; for I know that if the people were once restored 'o their own rights, I could deal with them better than I can deal with that mob before the hustings. For keep the people in ignorance was always the study of the Tories; for they know that they could not make such use of them as they are making if they were properly educated ; and God knows what would have been the consequence if I, and others who noted with ,ne in Parliament for the last 20 ycar3, lied not laboured to make the people understand their rights, and assisted to obtain them. I say no mere. I have only to call on you to vote for two Reform candidates. Ido not ask you to vote for Byng and Hume. I ask you to vote for the principles—_l ask you to vote for your selves and for the country. I thank you . for your past favours, and I hope that before many days I shall have again to thank you from my place as the Member for Middlesex. If you think that I am less fit to serve you than I was when you last sent roe into Parliament, you will of course reject me ; but I must assure you that lam unchanged. I am, and ever shall be, levoted to your interests. I have done my duty, and no one act shall I ever do to disgrace the name of Joseph Hume.— ( Loud cheering.) Mr. WOOD then appeared, and was received with loud cheering, which even himself could not stop till the hired men thought they had earned their money. He said, Gentlemen, lend me your attention; I have a stake in this election, and it is my duty to lay before you the principles upon which my :lon. Friend and I stand. We are on our trial, and we sub mit ourselves to your judgment. When the Friends by whom we are supported thought of the dangerous principles advo cated by the Government of his late Majesty with respect to the Church, they though it their duty to bring forward two gentlemen determined to oppose such principles. What he had to determine was whether there was such a concurrence between his Hon. Friend and himself to justify them in the open coalition which they had formed. Gentlemen, there is such a concurrence between us, that I was justified in the course I have taken, and that without any damage to my private character or public honour.—(Cheers.) It is not for :no to pronounce whether the coalition which exists between he other two candidates is warranted by private honour or public principles—that is a question for the electors to deter mine. Our late respectable member has explained to you the position in which he stands—is that explanation satisfac tory' to you.—( Yes, yes.) I would remind that respectable gentleman of a coalition of public men which took place in ohs early days—that coalition was not founded upon principle, and it therefore met with the reprobation of the British public. I tell you, Gentlemen, that the British public will discounte nance not only the unprincipled coalition which exists now aeon the hustings, but also the still more unprincipled coali tion of a profligate Government—(Cheers and much hissing) —who for electioneering purposes are making so infamous a use of their influence in favour of men who entertain principles in which they tritely they cannot concur—of men whom they know to be inimical to the existence of the Church, while at the sam e t i me t h ey are putt i ng i nto the lips of our gracious Sovereign a pledge to uphold the Established Church and other institutions, all of which are the very hatred of the men they are now supporting. Our late respectable Member referred to his vote on the Church-rate question. Does he mean to say that by voting for those resolutions he did sot sanction the principles of the Government ? Are his views n accordance with those of their other late Member, Mr. Hume ? But, my f r i en d s , th e quest i on you h ave to d eterm i ne :s not a personal one—yeu have to determine whether you will this (lay sanction those dangerous principles which are making small beginnings, but which must end in the desecration of the Church 1 What is the propositions of the Government ? In Ireland they propose to alienate a portion of the Church property, under the pretence of tranquillizing the country, thereby making concessions to a partyisvho tell you het it is not a part they want, but the whole, and the whole they are revolved to obtain. Instead of trenquillizing that country it will and must have a very different effect, for it wiil ,rill inevitably raise a cry against the rents of the landlords, ,and a demand for the repeal of the Legislative Union, which is the mainstay of the United Church.—(Cheers.) With re ,pect to England, the question is, whether you will, under hr pretence of conceding to the conscientious feelings of the Dissenters, fur whom no one has a greater respect than my mdf—whether you will concede to them that great principle, :hat it is 'ithe paramount duty of the State to maintaie the .2ublic worship of God in the land, and to maintain its fabric from tho public purse. But it is ever, more than that, for the proposition of the Government goes this length—make over the bishops' lands—make over the lands of the deans end chapters into the hands of our paid Commissieners— (Cries of " Hear, hear").—we will maintain your Bishops on pensioned salaries ?---( Great confusion. )—Why, how con e expect that honoerable, that independent, and that up:-fight conduct which we expect fr o m th e P re l ates o f our Church,'' if :re degrade their character, invede their property, and render •hem the stipendiaries of any Government that may exist?— Gentlemen, there is a scene in our history which I wish to .ccall to your minds. When the Prelates of this conetry, having refused to sanction the arbitrary or din ances o f J ames the Second, a were sent as prisoners down the river Thames— ( Cheers)—they refused to premulgate the ordinances of that tyrant, and what was the consequence ? Their acquittal led to the Revolution.—(Tremendous cheering.) Call we expect such conduct again if we make them nothing but officials 1—( Cheers, and great uproar.) No, Gentlemen, it is tic; principle of the Church that she shall be indepen dent, and that she shall not yield to the popular caprice of the day, or the dictates a Monarchical Government.— ( Cheers.) What was the harangue, and of what did it consist, of the other honourable candidate ? It was a dill, monotonous tirade about Toryism.—( Hear, and cheers.) According independence, statementiri those integrity, who v l , l . z e td re then fc'e lil' g th sv of o con sistency,m.erethe bond slaves of pa; Cheers.) If I was an elector of aliddlesex, no consideration should make me barter my in s e ce • cience —( Cheering.) I admit, if I saw Government . to his a cernposed of men of taleet and virtue, that I should on all occasions, if my conscience edinitted of it—( Cries of " Oh yes, your conscience o—give them a free, disinterested, and nonourable support—(Cheers)—but I would never aart with that best gift of heaven, the free conceptions and expression of my feelings.—(Grunt cheering and uproar.) I will fearlessly oppose to the last the unprincipled Government that has now usurped the reign of power.—( Hisses and confusion, and slight cheering. I congratulate the chivalrous cham n ion of that Government, in having so long continu e d to supprees those loyal feelings which in their old age will press upen them with increased vigour; they found my opinion lik lover's necents in old men's mouthe.—( breat laughter ) Gentlemen, there is a question which it may be expected I should in person giVe my opinion on, that question is with respect to the Per Laws.—( Cheers. )—When I was last on the hustings I told you then that I thought it was an arbitrary power, without adequate responsibility. I have since further considered that law, and I see no reason that I should retract my opinion.—(Cheers and great confusion.) I do think the powers of the Cemmis_ sioners are arbitrary, and I do think that they are disposed to apply those principles too rigidly.—( Loud cheering, and very great uproar and confusion.) As your representative, I should direct my mind to the just curtailment, and watch these powers, and I shall in my executive capacity of a magistrate endeavour to direct the operation of that law to the public good. Recollect always the first duty which we have to per form is to the poor man, and the second we have to per form is to the rate-payer, we ought to combine those interests for in reality they are not distinct.—(Cheers.) Mr. Hume had alluded to the subject of education, he has called you igno ro.t and hirelings, and he has said you wanted education ; will he explain to me what education he means, if he means a servile imitation of that philosophical system, that civic education as it was called, which was first in stilled into the minds of Freuehmen, which deluged the country with infidelity, mid atheism, end war, I would shun it as I would a pestilence ; but if be means that education which teaches the people their duty to their Creator, and teaches tin, m cf . a Being in whom they live, move, and have their being —and if that education leads onward to instruction in science and erudition, then I am for that education.—( Loud cheers.) But the contrary, I apprehend, will turn out to be the fact ; I call upon you, then, to support the Church, purified as sine is, and has long been, front the errors of Popery, inters oven as her instit ut i ons h ave b een b y some of the beet and meat able men with ou r p o li t i ca l i nst i tut i ons. That Church is, I am happy t o say, not only free from impurity, but disseminates that mild spirit of toleration which all must admire. I feel that we are not only called upon, but bound to resist the evils'of the present measures of Government—l speak it not with an intolerant spirit, but with a firm conviction that they are calculated to produce that effect. It is not my intention to enter into the minor differences which may arise in isolated and distant parishes. With respect to the payment of certain Church dues, there may or may not be hardships existing in peculiar cases which require to be removed, but I never can consent to shuffle off the whole burden from our own shoulders, and remove it from the laud to the Church.— ( Loud cheers.) This would be depriving the Church of a property to which it was as much entitled as we are to our estates. Besides I have an additional reason for opposing- such a proceeding, that is, that it would never satisfy our brother Dissenters, who if they took such a step would not rest until they had attacked the Church itself. It is therefore our duty to show at once where we me ;n to make a stand, and upon what questions we do not mean to go any further. I call upon the meeting to consider of the measures resorted to, in order to obtain and retain power. Secret suffrages were advocated, and Triennial Par liaments were enforceebs , some candidates with a view to gain ing votes.. I am assured the Hon, Gent. near me (Mr. Hume) has not advocated those doctrines for the sake of obtaining Power, because, if he had the means to-morrow he would carry the measures out to their fullest extent. These were the theories of the presedt day, but if once carried into effect, a total change of system would take place. Men of more talents and more enterprise would aeon stand up, and in a very little time would immediately take the reins from the present Government, and than would commence a reign of anarchy and confusion which would end in destruction. v I call upon you, Gentlemen, to state whether you agree with the doctrines laid down by our opponents? If you do, you will of course give them your votes. But if, on the con trary, that such measures would be productive of the great est disorder, and that no one could tell where that disorder would stop, then. I think I may chains your sufFrages with a confidence not arising from any speculation upon the poll books, but from a- conscientious feeling of the justness of my cause, and I am sure that in coming to a decision upon ' THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, J ULY : 1 1, 1837 this important occasion, you will consider . with that calmness tnd judg men t w hi c h b e l ong t o Englishmen, and I sincerely hope that that decision may be of a nature to support the st,- bility of the throne, and protect the institutions of my dearly beloved country.--(Applause.) HENRY POWNALL, canna forward, and was received with loud and repeated cheers. Br“tber electors (said the Honourable Gentleman), I rejoice to meet you on the pre sent occasion, as our, meeting affoeds me an opportunity, got only of declaring the nature of my political principles, but it also enables me rebut some charges—( Hear, hear) —which have been easily, and I had almost said with much effrontery but before Ido so I beg to call your attention to two emblems which present themselves to me in the distance. The first is a wig, which it appears has lost every curl and ornament ; and the other, which I presume is intended to illustrate the Jove or our opponents to the Crown, is the figure of one of the Royal family with a rope round his neck. Strenuous efforts have been made to impress upon your minds, that because we are opposed to the :ilea sores of the present Government we are equally so to her Ma jesty. This, however, is the very reverse of the fact. There was not in the kingdom a friend to his country who would not perform the lowest service in order to gratify her Majesty. , —(Cries of " Hear, hear.") But surely this is no occasion why I and those who think with me should be deterred from dragging before the public those acts which we condemn, and calling upon Ministers for an account of them. The ex-Member for Middlesex (Mr. Hume) ap pears to have beets sadly put about as to the manner in which lie could best secure a few stray votes, and having no other resource he was obliged to go to Hanover for the purpose..._ (Cheers and hisses.) That Hon. Gentlemait.has told you that he has throughout been a consistent politician, and has intimated :hat I have not. Now, let me ask has he borne out his insinuation ? I was from the beginning the friend and advocate of the Reform Bill,:and 8') was anxious for the pass ing of every other measure which was calculated to produce amendment, and not ruin. The Hon. Gantleman has told you that he had throughout been the consistent friend of education. Well, so. have I, but what is the kind of education which the Hon. Member would support ? Is it something similar to that adopted in Ireland, of which a part of the principle was to lock up the Holy Scriptures, and to prevent their being read. [The rain here pourediu torrents.] Gentlemen, I was anxious to address you at considerable length, but though I do not feel for myself I must feel for you. The Hon. Gentlemen then retired to the back of the hustings. The Sheriffs then called for a show of hands—the rain, which continued with great severity and without intermission, having by this time reduced the vast multitude to a few hun dreds—and the numbers appeared to be nearly equal fur the several candidates. Sir JAMES DUKE said they had a very difficult duty to per form, but they were relieved from all difficulty by knowing that the electors of that county would have an opportunity of declaring their sentiments at the poll. His colleague (Mr. Sheriff Johnston) was of opinion that the show of hands was in favour of Thomas Wood and Henry Pownall, Esqrs.— ( Uproarious cheering from the Conservatives.) A poll was then demanded on behalf of Messrs Byng and Hume, and the few persons who had up to that time braved the severity of the shower hastily dispersed. Owing to this circumstance the customary vote of thanks to the Sheriffs as Returning Officers was dispensed with, but the impartiality and courtesy with.which they had conducted the entire proceedings entitled them to it as fully as any of their predecessors. - The uproar and confusion to which we have occasionally adverted continued without intermission to the close • but our position in front of the hustings enabled us to hear what must have been totally inauJible to ninety-nine out of every hundred persons composing the immense multitude. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. JThe arrivals last week were good of all kinds of grain. The quantity of Flour was moderate. Wheat manifested a declining tendency; but other grain remained unaltered. This morning there was a good fresh supply of Wheat, and moderate of other Corn. Wheat has suet a heavy sale, and is t.)s. per quarter lower. In Barley little doing. Beans are dull, at last Monday's rate . Pease of both kinds Feet very few buyers. Most of the Foreign Oats hove paid the duty, and last week's prices are barely supported. There is not much doing in the Flour track, and ship parcels are offering ar lower rates.

BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS TvE HAGUE, JULY 26.--The King has granted permission to the Dutch Iron Rail-road Company to construct an Won rail-road from Amsterdam to Haarlem. JULY 27.—The Prince and Princess of Orange hare re turned to Tilburg. It appears' by accounts from Athens of the 26th June, that the discharge of all the Bavarian troops from the Greel: ser vice is resolved upon by King Otho ; only some offic,rs will remain to form the skeletons of the new regiments. The King has not thought fit to introduce the cenFcription in order to form a national army. -It seems to be intended to leave it to each commune to raise a certain contingent in such man ner as it shall judge most convenient. The Crown Prince of Sweden has arrived at Munich. BRUSSELS, JULY 29.—M. Sere urier, the French Minister, is gone to Paris. The Duke de CaT.es arid his travelling companioils vrent yesterday by the iron railroad from Brussels to Antwerp in forty-eight minutes, which is at the rate of fourteen post leagues in an hour. Orders have been given at Ostend to hasten the prepara tions at the Palace for the reception of their Majesties. ANTWERP, JULY 28.—The crew of the Dart, after having operated for two months on the boat laden with ammunition, &c., which was sunk at Nustreweel in 1812, has succeeded in getting up the nineteen cannon (30 pounders) nn hie!' were on board. These cannon, according to the valuation male at the Arsenal, are worth 1,000 francs each ; and as the Ministry claims half the value of the articles recovered by the divers from the Scheldt, the Dart will hate 9 500 f. TRIESTE, JULY 13.—We have letters &cm Egypt to the 10th ult., which say that Mehemet Ali is in great distress for money, and is endeavouring to contract a loan, in a hick, however, there is little prospect of success. The pay of the, navy is v e ry muc h i n arrear, wh i ch has excited great discon tent,'"' and how it is to be remedied does not appear, as the low prices of cotton will not allow the avarice of Mehemet to sell it, though this seems the only means of replenishing his empty coffers. This critical situation of the Viceroy is ran dc red still more so by his differences with England, the Con sul of that power having, it is said, in consequence of the continued refusal of the Egyptian Government to obey the Sultan's firman in favour of the English commerce, de manded a final catercategorical answer, and should he n o t o bt a i n such a one as lie desires, " more serious proceedings may fol low. It is said that M. Camille Turks, formerly editor of the Egyptian Monitor, will go to France on a mission from the Viceroy to advocate the cause of Mehemet Ali in the Parrs Journals.

CIVIC INVITATION TO THE QUEEN.—This day the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, the City Remembrancer, Recorder, and Giber municipal officers, attended by a deputation of Al dermen and Commoners, proceeded front Guildhall to Buck ingham Palace, in order to present to her Majesty the rcsolu tkn of the Court of Common Council, iu accordance with anclint euvorn and the loyalty of the citizens of London, to invite her Majesty to dine with the Lord Mayor and Corpora tion at such time and place as her Majesty might deign to appoint.
