THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 5, 1835. GENERAL ELECTION. ST ALBANS-NOMINATION. MONDAY, JAN. s.—The fate of this borough in the ensuing Parliament will not be so happy as it_ was in tilt hell it returned the.*tvo MM.' Members, Sir Francis Vincent and Ward, the son of the author of " Tremaine," who dis tinguished himself in the late Parliament by bringing forward the celebrated resolutions respecting the Irish Church, which were the proximate cause of convincing a large body of the Cabinet that some decisive step must be taken upon, that sub ject. Sir Francis Vincent having announced his intention to retire, and the Hon. Edward Harbottle Grimston, second son of the Earl of Verulam, his intention to stand, it appeared as if the borough would be represented by a Conservative and a Reformer. Many inhabitants of the borough who might per haps have been disposed to oppose a Conservative stranger, felt themselves compelled, either by the personal popularity of Mr. Grimston or the influence of his father, to give him their support. At the eleventh hour, when such a thing was least expected, the Carlton Club sent down Mr. Beresford, a son of Lord Decies, tolerably supplied with cash, which it is said has been scattered among the poorer voters with an unsparing hand. Very shortly after Mr. Beresford's appearance, it wus understood that he should have whatever votes Mr. Grimston could split with him, so that Mr. Ward's election, which was at one time certain by a large majority, will now prove a hard battle, although it is hoped that the independent voters will not so far forget their English feeling as to suffer themselves to be persuaded by any arguments to return a Beresford. The three candidates arrived at the hustings, with their re spective friends, at a little after eight o'clock. The procla mation having been read, Mr. Ward was proposed by Mr. Kinder, and seconded by Mr. Webster; the Hon. Mr. Gr;m ston was preposed by Mr. Story, and seconded by Mr. Smith; and Mr. Beresford by Mr. Osbaldeston and Mr. Alderman Brown. The MAYOR declared the show of hands to be in favour of Mr. Ward and Mr. Grimston, upon which a poll was demanded by Mr. Beresford. The proposers and seconders of the can didates addressed the electors in the following order ;-- Mr. KINDER and Mr. WEBSTER having moved and seconded the nomination of Mr. Ward, Mr. WARD came forward, and said that the faith which Mr. Grimston had in the policy of the Duke of Wellington, he (Mr. W.) had in Earl Grey.--( Cheers.) He went into the House, therefore, as a supporter, on party principles, of the late Administration. He in consequence voted with those Ministers on most occasions. It was sometimes with reluc tance ; but he looked upon their several measures as a part of one good whole, and did not feel himself at liberty to weaken the general cause of Reform by opposing them.—( Cheers.) It was not till he saw the utter vanity of that system of conci liation which Earl Grey was inclined to try with the House of Lords—it was not till he saw the futility of all attempts to reconcile irreconcileable political enemies—it was not till he saw that Earl Grey was losing that by which only he could be supported—the approbation of the people — Loud cheers)—that he took his own course. The elec tors knew what that had been.—( Cheers.) He thought it necessary both to speak and vote against the late Mi nistry when he saw it attempting to mutilate their own measure for the reform of the Irish Church.—( Hear, hear.) He had proved by the most incontestible evidence of history, that it was impossible quietly to govern Ireland as long as the present tithe-system had to be kept up in that country by an army of 23,000 men, which cost us a million a-year, by a police which cost 300,000/. more, by annually issuing 20,000 tithe processes, and by grants of sums of money amounting to 1,500,000/. to build churches and glebe-houses.—( A voice— " for the Beresfords.") They were called upon to submit to all this—to support an establishment which drew nearly 9.?,0,000/. per annum from the Catholic population, and which only pretended to be of service to 600,000 Episcopalian Pro testants. That was a system which could not be supported and if they wanted any proofs of this assertion, they had only to look at the reports which had appeared in every paper (for the Tory papers had not been able to suppress it) of the hor rible massacre of Rathcormac—( Shame, shame, and groans.) As a man and a Christian he could not look upon the system which gave rise to such scenes without abhorrence—( Applause and a cry of " Nor any one else except parsons.") Although he advocated the separation of Church and State in Ireland, he did not in this country. He wanted to reform, but he was a supporter of the Church Establishment in England, but his method of supporting it was very different from that of the Tories. He was as strong an advocate for Corpora tion as of Ecclesiastical Reform ; but he had no hope of obtaining Corporation Reform from the present Mi nistry, for the Corporations were their strong-hold. The members of the Corporations must be made annually elective by the inhabitants of the different towns whose funds they had the management of—(cheers.) Every appointment made sii.ce Sir Robert Peel attained the reigns of government, had tended to confirm him in his original opinion. The men chosen by him as colleagues were not only Tories, but Tories of the most bigotte'l character there were in the country. Nothing like them had been collected together since the days of Pitt and Castlereagh. Indeed, Lord Castlereagh would have been far too prudent a man to have embarked in the State vessel with such a crew. He was confident the people of England would repudiate their guidance—( Cheers.) Having declared himself in favour of triennial parliaments and vote by ballot, the Honourable Candidate referred to the fact of some hired fighters having been brought down from London to bully the electors, and pledged himself that no disturbance should be raised on the part of his friends. Mr. ANTHONY STORY then proposed Mr. Grimston, and was seconded by Mr. SMITH. Mr. GRIMSTON then shortly addressed the electors, and said his opinions were, as nearly as possible, the reverse of Mr. Ward's. He was not prepared to declare uncompromising hostility to an Administration before it was formed—( Hear, hear,) nor to pledge himself to the support of measures be fore they were brought forward—( Hear.) He wished to sup port measures and not men, and whatever measures were brought forward for the benefit of the country should have his cordial support. Mr. OSBALDESTON said, that in consequence of the absence of the Honourable Baronet (Sir Astley Cooper), who was to have proposed Mr. Beresford, it became his painful duty to do so—(Loud laughter.) He moved, and Mr. Alderman BROWN seconded the nomination of Mr. Beresford. _ Mr. BERESFORD came forward. He returned thanks for the encouragement he had met with in his canvas, and attributed it to his Conservative principles. He would support the insti tutions of the country, but was willing to lend a helping hand to correct the abuses which had now become public.—( A laugh, and cry of " Then your family will be badly off l") Several gentlemen afterwards addressed the electors, before the polling was recommenced, but our limits prevent our giv ing their speeches. The day passed off quietly, and the numbers, at the close of the poll, were, for— Mr. Grimston Mr. Ward 77 Mr. Beresford HER TFORD_NOMINA TION. MONDAY, JAN s.—This being the day appointed for the election of members to represent the borough of Hertford in Parliament, the partisans of the candidates—the Hon. William Cowper, Lord Ingestre, and Lord Mahon—were actively en gaged in looking up their respective supporters, and in mak ing all theoneeessary preparations for the forthcoming " tug of war." . _ About half-past seven the Mayor, with the Hon. William Cowper, Lord Mahon, and the Hon. J. Talbot, on behalf of his brother, Lord Viscount Ingestre, who is on service in the Mediterranean, appeared on the hustings at the Town Hall. The proceedings throughout were characterized by a much greater degree of order than has on former occasions been ob served. The reading of the Act for the prevention of Bribery, occasioned much laughter among the crowd, in which we per ceived the Town Clerk himself could not refrain from joining. JOAN MOSES CARTER, Esq., proposed Lord Ingestre. Mr. OLDFIEI.D seconded the nomination. Mr. JOSEPH LAWRENCE nominated Lord Mahon. Mr. ARLINGTON seconded the nomination. Mr. WILLIAM MANSER nominated Mr. Cowper. Mr. T. N. HAGGAR seconded the nomination. The Hon. J. TALBOT appeared for his brother, Lord In gestre. Though long himself he would endeavour to be short.—(Laughter.)—[Mr. T. is very tall.] He had not had the advantage of even hearing what Mr. Cowper's political sentiments were ; but he understood he had called Lords In gcstre and Mahon nominees. He (Mr. T.) confessed they were nominees, but of whom? of Mr. Carter, Mr. Lawrence, Mr. Gilbertson, Mr. Ayres, and the other gentlemen by whom they were supported, whose opulence and abilities reflect light upon the town.—(Loud laughter.) Lord Ingestre having expended time, labour, and immense sums of money— ( Laughter)—in defending their rights and privileges—he meant great sums of money in that contest before that flagi tious tribunal, the Election Committee of the House of Com mons—he felt sure that, having done this, the electors would repay the debt of gratitude they owed him, by redeeming their pledges, and return him again to defend their privileges. Lord MAHON called upon the electors, as honest men to fulfil the premises they had made himself and Lord Ingestre, of their own free will. The Hon. WM. CowPER then came forward amidst loud cheering. His opponents were, undoubtedly, in his opinion, what they were called, nominees, not of a person in the town, but out of the town.—( Cries of " At Hatfield-house.") He had been asked by Mr. Carter if he would support the con nection between Church and State. His answer was, that he would, for he considered that the majority had as much right to tax the minority for the support of religion as for the sup port of the army, the navy, or any other institution for the pro tection of property. But what he complained of, was the in justice practised towards Dissenters generally. The Whigs were Conservative of the abuses of the Constitution, but de structive of its abuses.—( Loud cheers.) The Mayor then put the several candidates to a show of hands. For Lord Ingestre there were but few ; for Lord Mahon about fifty ; but for Mr. Cowper a forest of hands, amidst cries of " All, all I" The Mayor declared the show of hands to be in favour of Mr. Cowper and Lord Mahon. A poll was then demanded on the part of Lord Ingestra. Close of the Poll First day. Cowper Ingestre 290 Mahon GUILDFORD-NOMINATION. The election of two Representatives for the borough of Guildford commenced yesterday, at the Town-hall, in Guild ford. At ten o'clock in the morning the Court wns opened, and the Mayor ( Mr. Rand) took his seat on the bench. The can didates, James Mangles, Esq., Baring Wall, Esq., said Robert Alfred Cloyne Austin, arrived about the same time, each es cortrd by a very numerous party of friends, wearing rosettes of various colours, and preceded by bands of music. THOMAS HAynoN, tsq., proposed Mr. Mangles, and Mr. FOSTER secended the nemlnatithit Mr. MARTYN then proposed Mr. Baring Wall. [The shout- ing, hissing, hooting, yelling, and noises of various kinds which were raised it is impossible to describe, principally by Mr. Wal's party, who were decidedly the most numerous and the most noisy in the hall.] Wm. SPARKS, Esq., seconded the nomination. Mr. GEORGE AUSTIN, of Guildford, then presented himself to the meeting to propose Mr. Austin, and was received with hissing and hooting, amid every other expression of disappro bation. Mr. FINNEMORE seconded the nomination. Mr. MANGLES then addressed the meeting, and was received in the most enthusiastic manner. He said he would look to measures not men ; for if Ministers brought forward measures in accordance with the wishes of the people, they should have his support, but not otherwise.—(Cheering.) His policy was to support peace, and to encourage every economy in the ex penditure of the Government. He was favourable to the re duction of taxation, particularly of those taxes which pressed on the labouring classes. His votes were always given for the encouragement of liberal measures. Mr. BARING WALL then rose, and the shouting and cheer ing was instantly raised by his own party, and hissing and hoot ing as loudly by the friends of the other candidates. He was anxious to answer the charge that had heen preferred against him, and to repel the attack that had been made upon his honour and his character as a gentleman. He an outcast from society ! How dare any man stand up and make such an alle gation against him ? Mr. Austin appeared to him to be ac quainted svith a great many secrets, but he obtained those se crets by acting sometimes as a spy, and others by proposing jesuitical questions.--( Hear, hear, and noises.) In reply to Mr. Austin, he would boldly state that there had never been any difference of opinion among his friends and supporters at Guildford, with regard to the propriety of putting him for ward as a candidate for that borough. He asked for the vote of no man who did not think his private character beyong re proach. He had met every charge brought against him, how ever painful to his feelings, with moral courage, and he de fied any one to attach to him the character of an outcast. Mr. Wall then proceeded at some length to state his political opi nions, which were in accordance with those of the present Go vernment.--( Cheering and noise.) Mr. AUSTIN then presented himself, and was received with much cheering. He entered at some length into the griev ances which the Dissenters complained of, and promised that if he was returned to Parliament their claims should receive his most favourable consideration. In alluding to the question of church-rates, he held that no man ought to be called upon to pay for that form of worship which he did not attend, and of which he did not approve.—( Hear hear.) Church-rates were different from tithes. Tithes were a species of property, but church-rates were an assessment. He then proceeded to ob serve that the Reform Bill had not made that material altera tion in the mode of election which it was supposed it would have done ; for it was notorious that many county voters, and also borough voters, voted under restraint and fear. To remedy this the ballot was proposed. He detested the ballot, and he proposed that it should be given as a reproach to such places where bribery was known to exist. He was favourable to triennial Parliaments. He wished to see a more equal distribution of benefices among the clergy. _ _ _ Mr. SMART and Captain JONES then addressed the meeting. The MAYOR then took the show of hands, and stated that majority was in favour of Mr. Wall and Mr. Mangles. A great many (almost as many as for the other candidates) were held up in favour of Mr. Austin. A poll was demanded for Mr. Austin. Thanks wero then returned to the Mayor, and three cheers having been given for the King, the meeting separated. LETVES:-NOMINATION. JAN. s.—This being the day fixed by the High Constable for the,nomination of candidates for this borough, the town at an early honr presented a scene of bustle -deldom, if ever, wit nessed before. At eleven o'clock, the hour named by the returning officer, the High Constable read the writ for holding the election ; and the other necessary forms requisite on such occasions being gone through, Mr. BLACKMAN rose to propose to the electors Mr. Thomas Read Kemp, as a fit and proper person to represent them in Parliament. Mr. ADAMS seconded the nomination of Mr. Kemp. Mr. Hick proposed Sir Charles Blunt to the electors. Mr. Wown seconded the nomination. Mr. GEERE stepped forward to propose Mr. Fitzroy to them as a true friend to the Constitution in Church and State, and as one who, if sent to St. Stephen's, would resist by all means possible anything like an encroachment on either : in fact, he was a true Conservative—( Hisses)—and as such he stood be fore them. Mr. LOUDELL seconded the nomination. Mr. KEMP came forward, and was received with mingled hisses and cheers. The Hon. Candidate referred to his con- . duct in six Parliaments. He (Mr. K.) declared he was an uncompromising Reformer in every sense of the word. Sir CHARLES BLUNT expressed himself gratified at the re sult of his canvas, and that his conduct, during his second ses sion in Parliament, had met with the highest approbation from the electors ; and stated his determination to pursue the same line of policy as had secured it to him. The Hon. H. FITZROY stated his principles to be of the true Conservative mould, both in Church and State ; throwing out at times a bait to the Dissenters ; and by a pleasing and firm manner of address, carried himself through with considerable success. The fact appears to be, that Sir C. Blunt is certsin, but that it is a matter of doubt as to Mr. Kemp and the Hon. H. Fitzroy. The polling commences to-morrow. MAIDSTONE.-NOMINATION. This day (Monday) the nomination took place for this bo rough. Messrs. Robarts and Mr. Barnett were nominated for the Blues, and Mr. Wyndham Lewis for the Purples or To ries. The two fanner were very well received, and gave great satisfaction by their manly and candid addresses. Mr. Lewis, whose delivery and obvious want of talent is greatly against him, but who is said to possess other more powerful means of convincing the corrupt part of the constituency, is, of course, supported by the Corporation, and the old remnant of Toryism, whom the present Lord Mayor of London once re presented very accurately, both in talent and principle. We shall probably have a sharp contest, but there seems no doubt of the return of Mr. Robarts ; and although the Tories are offering about 301. per man for votes, yet it is expected that the old Kentish blood, which generally peeps out at election time, will inevitably elect the honest and really Liberal candi date, Mr Barnett, in preference to the advocate for slavery and corruption. The show of hands was in favour of the Li beral candidates. A poll was demanded for Mr. Lewis. INCOME.

The first blow against Toryism has been struck, in Southwark. The two Reform candidates, Mr. Humphrey and Mr. Whittle Harvey, were yesterday returned without even an attempt at opposition. A Good omen ! The nomination for the City of London took place yesterday, and the polling commences to-day ; the result, we believe, is no longer doubtful. Where " hot-blood, bawling, and beer supply the place of thinking," to use the language of the " Standard," the Tories may succeed, and they will gain a few in counties in which tenants-at-will must vote for their landlords, at the expense of their consciences ; but wherever the constituencies are numerous and respecta ble, Reformers will be returned. Thanks to the Re form Bill, the independent constituencies must for a time prevail. We say, for a time, because we are well aware that if the principle of the Reform Bill be not followed out, by cutting of small and flea pendent constituencies, and introducing from time to time a supply of new blood, many years will not passAill we have another rotten-borough system. In the 0 1 .,1 boroughs, the old leaven of corruption still ferments. However, for the present we may bid defiance to ten , ;:ats-at-will and freemen. The 10/. householders and free'nolders are our salvation. These men are not to be bought. They seek to protect their property, and to enjoy the fruits of their industry. Under the old boroughmongering rule, the mass of owners of property were utterly unprotected. The suffrage was, for the most part, exercised by necessitous and dependent persons ; and a system of plunder was organized, the most effectual for its object of which there is any example in the bistoty cf the world. The people of the United Kingdoms are quite aware of the cause of the peculiar hostility of the Tories to the Reform Bill, and of their anxiety to reposs themselves of power in order to impair its efficiency. They are not the dupes of the interested cry of the Tories, that property is in danger. The Tories will no longer be suffered to make a property of the industrious classes, as they did before 1832. The Reformers are so far Destruc tires. that they wish to destroy the abuses by which aristo cratic drones and paupers batten at the expense of the community. The Reformers are destroyers of abuses ; but the Tories are the real Destructives, whom the owners of property have to dread. Property is keen-sighted. Tories and taxation are closely associated in the minds of the peo ple. The wolves in the fable, who sought the friendship of the sheep, are typical of the regard of the Tories for the people. The burdens which we owe to Tory misrule and to Tory plunder are lessons which he who runs may read.— " Morning Chronicle." The election of Southwark, which began yesterday, ended in rather an unexpected manner on the same day. Mr. Ellis having proposed Mr. Humphrey, the late member, and Mr. Davis having proposed Mr. D. W. Harvey, the new candidate for the representation of that borough, and the usual routine of speeches having been gone through by the movers, seconders, and candidates already named, it was found that no opponent had come forward to take the field against them. Mr. Humphrey and Mr. D. W. Har vey were therefore declared duly elected. This will, no doubt, be hailed as a great triumph by the Whig party. But neither of the two candidates are Whigs, and Mr. Harvey owes his election to his celebrated motions respect ing the pension list, which were as strongly opposed by the Whigs 'as by the Tories, and which (the Whigs being, Ministers at the time) owe their rejection more imme diately to that party than to the other, who are often most unfairly represented as responsible for it. The borough of Southwark knows best whether Radicals are the poli ticians who best represent its opinions ; but the other constituencies of the country, instead of taking the tone from such instances will probably see in them ad ditional motives for choosing moderate and constitutional Reformers, if it were only for the purpose of checking the injury which disturbed and disturbing spirits are apt to disseminate. Yesterday, being also nomination day for the city of London, Mr. Alderman 'Wood, Mr. Grote, Mr. Lyall, Mr. Crawford, Mr. Ward, Mr. Wilson, and Mr. Pattison were proposed by their respective friends. The politics of the different candidates are well known to our readers, baring been frequently discussed in the course of the last few days. The four Reformers, Whig and Radical, have coalesced, and we suppose the three moderate politi cians who wish to give the present Ministers a trial, have done the same. At all events appearances bespeak a sharp contest. It would be absurd to think of inferring from the noisy scene at the hustings who are the individuals upon whom the choice of the constituency will fall at last. Both parties are in high spirits as the hour of trial ap proaches, the inference from which would be that no man can foresee the result. So much for the metropolis. The boroughs of Lewes and of Guilford, as will be seen under the proper heads, are preparing for contests likewise, the nomination having taken place, and polls having been de manded at each.—" Morning Herrld." Two charges are brought against Sir Robert Peel by his adversaries—the first, that in taking office under the Reform Bill he has acted with inconsistency ; the second, that he is opposed to all reform. To substantiate the charge of inconsistency, it must he shown that the predic tions of the supporters of the Reform Bill have been ful filled, and that Sir Robert Peel's apprehension of its consequences have proved groundless. With regard to the second charge, it is at variance with fact, and in direct opposition to his manly and explicit declaration to his con stituents at Tamworth. If, since the passing of the Reform Bill, it could be shown that the state of the country had improved, that agitation had ceased, that violent and revo lutionary projects could find no supporters—if it could be shown that the , men whose rank and respectability chiefly contributed to the passing of the Reform Bill remained still united, still capable of forming an Administration, then, indeed, the charge of inconsistency might have been suc cessfully made. But when we see the condition of the country changed for the worse ; that lawless and unprin cipled demagogues are not only not discountenanced but that they are actually cherished ; that an appetite for mea sures which are wholly repugnant to the existence of the Constitution is catered for by those whose station makes their example dangerous ; when we find those very men who united to carry the Reform Bill, now, in consequence of their own dissensions, incapable of supplying his Majssty with an Administration ; what can the most factious malig nity discover in Sir Robert Peel's undertaking the Govern ment of the country but an evidence of the noblest con sistency of conduct, an evidence that the same wish to serve his country which induced him to oppose the Reform Bill induces him now to come forward and use his best energies to save his country in an emergency which he had himself predicted as the probable consequence of that Bill ? Such is the man whom his Most Gracious Majesty has been pleased to call to his assistance in the hour of danger—a man who, while he promises the correction of proved abuses and the redress of real griev ances, has firmness enough to declare, with Lord Bacon, that " it is good not to try experiments in States except the necessity be urgent or‘ the utility evident ; and well to be ware that it be the reformation that draweth on the change, and not the desire of charge that pretendeth the reforma tion ; and, lastly, that the novelty, though it be not rejected, yet be held for a suspect, and as the Scripture saith, That we make a stand upon the ancient way, and look about us, • the straight and right way, and so to a striking contrast to his opponents !-- ,re a by-word for inconsistency—cha must have contemplated in the follow -1—" When the leaders choose to make tt an auction of popularity their and discover what is ti Iv , , What a 1 4 1 ;• ,es are . ke m f i ve 6104 e th mstfiei e ..: s a ‘-; /Al' CHARGE.

Between such men and Sir Robert Peel tt e choice now lies on which the fate of the kingdom - ,lepends. Would it not be an insult to the loyal, resetable portion of society to suggest even a doubt as co the result.—" Morning Post." The conduct and result of the great meeting yesterday, at Guildhall, affords the best illustration of the mode in which the people use the power with the Reform Bill has invested them. Nothing could exceed the vigour, public spirit, and eloquence of the candidates, excepting the in telligence and order displayed by the great assemblage of the electors. The names alone of the movers and seconders of the reform candidates afford a most conclusive and triumphant refutation of the senseless calumnies with which the dying venomous lips of faction has assailed us. They comprise the most eminent of the commercial and moneyed interests of the city. The applica tion of the term " Destructives " to such persons is quite farcical, and excites the utmost laughter and contempt for the silly, though malicious pro mulgators. The effect of the vast numbers of bands held up, the unanimity displayed when the names of the several Reformers were announced, was perfectly electric, and excited the utmost delight in the breast of every old patriot, who, in all their experience, had seen nothing to equal it. The meeting separated with the per fect conviction that another glorious triumph awaited the Reformers of London. It remains now for the electors to realize the hopes th 2 manifestation of yesterday has every where inspired—we know the all-important question is safe in their hands. We entreat them, however, to make yet one strong effort more, and to-morrow we shall have to ad dress ourselves to the grateful and delightful task of an nouncing that the first great battle has been decided, and that the Tory faction in London is destroyed for ever.—" Morning Advertiser." The day of trial is at length come. The first shot in the great battle between the principles of liberty on the one hand, and the principles and interests of despotism on the other, has been fired, and fallen into the enemy's camp. Southwark declared for the people yesterday in an accent not to be mistaken. The City of London will speak the same thunder in the ear of the Tories this day and to morrow ; and Finsbury and Lambeth, in a few days, will complete the circle of auspicious omens, and sound the tocsin of rallying triumph in behalf of the great cause of the people. Thank God! the dissolution of Parliament has given them a clear battle-field for the maintenance and per manent establishment of their opinions and views as to what all future government shall be, by the choice of men whose names, persons, and past acts are the only pledges which the public ought to accept of their measures. In return to the Tory watchword of " Measure 3, tot men," the rallying cry of the people in this most vital conflict must be— " Men and measures." For the whole body of Reformers to accept measures of' reform from the men who have al ways been its bitter opponents—from the men, the echoes of whose denunciations against it have yet hardly ceased— from the men who, four years ago, upon a similar dissolu tion of Parliament, writhed in all the agonized contortions of defeated malice, foamed at the mouth with rage, and even vomited their seditious threats at the Royal authority— would be an encouragement of such moral turpitude in poli tical men, that any alternative would be better. Reform, if offered by such men, should be repelled, denied and thrown back in their faces. Talk of revolution, indeed ! What revo lution could be worse than a moral revolution,which would con found all notions of right and wrong, convert consistency into fluctuation, and make a perfect chaos of the best in stincts and guiding motives of human conduct. It would, indeed be, so far as the moral and social world is con cerned—setting up the " abomination that maketh deso late"—apotheosising public delinquency—and idolizing a standing lie. For what revolution, what triumph of al leged destructive principles could be worse than the exhi bition of a political profligacy—than the approbation of a political dishonesty, which, by confounding all the ordinary distinctions of right and wrong, would strike the severest blow at the security and very existence of property. Away, then, we say to the electors of Great Britain, with the fraudulent pretence of measures, not men. As honest men, they are called upon to dash back the equivocating subterfuge in the teeth of those who may have been taught to employ such delusive pretexts in the Jesuit schools of ultra Tory trickery. But, if it be the duty, at a crisis like this, of the whole body of the people, to re ject even the acquisition of an advantage, if accompanied with that public dishonesty and social immorality which al ways end in the degradation and final destruction of nations, how much more must it be of all that class, whose great bond of action is peculiarly moral and religious ? We should, indeed, have been surprised, if the large, influential, and wealthy population of the Dissenters had listened to the syren song of Tory delusion, sung now as that song was of old from amidst the decaying bones of corruption,—from the midst of the foul obscenities, and sheltered by the flaunting roses of office. No ! they have rejected, and do reject the dishonest pretext of " measures not men," and the watchword of " men as the pledges of measures" will be con veyed with the rapidity of an electric shock to every dissenting community in the kingdom. We have now before us several pamphlets—to which we may take an early opportunity of adverting—which prove the predominance of this resolu tion among the whole of that mighty and united body which carried the Reform Bill, and which will equally carry all the measures which will render that Bill the medium of unmutilated public benefit. An attempt has been made by a morning print to weaken the forces of the Dissenters, by pretending that they are disunited. There never ex isted a body of men more united in all their views of civil and religious liberty ; and the Tories, if they rely on this weak invention of the people's enemy, will be speedily ap prized by the first shock of the election, of the fact. The, dreaded union of the Dissenters will speedily " confound the politics" of their renegado tools, and " frustrate the knavish tricks" of their parti-coloured leaders.—" Morning Advertiser." OLD COURT. The first pair of Members sent up to the new Parliament I are those elected by the borough of Southwark, viz., Messrs. Humphery and Daniel Whittle Harvey ; the latter gentle man taking, on all occasions, credit for his hostility to the institution of an Established Church. Si sic omnes, we can only say that the days of the British Monarchy are num bered. The Church, the Army, the House of Lords, the King, the Queen—all came in for their portion of that deep-rooted dislike, of which a sardonic sneer upon the countenance of this loyal Reforming Gentleman was an outward emblem more significant than a volume of invec tive. Read only the speech of this straight-forward person- ' age, whom Colchester has given to Southwark, and then ask, with some of our curious contemporaries, but "where are these enemies of Church and State whom you are pleased to call Destructives ?'" Mr. William Brougham had the honour of refusing to pledge himself to that catalogue of revolutionary undertakings for which the Southwark 7,811,1630 482,6 , 5 9,3:47 259,453 127,500 342,9.92 9,(33, 167 2,53:4,851 11,572,018 2,744,457 2,3'2'2,477 7,3 , 0,585 686,095 8,430 214,437 127,500 a 29,116 9,t246,163 `,,32.2,477 11,563,64(1 4,852,799 452,010 electors deemed it superfluous to demand any other pledge from Mr. Whittle Harvey than his character, so that the learned gentleman found it hopeless to confront the poll. In the city yesterday, the nomination of candidates took place at Guildhall, when four " Reformers " and three " Conservatives" were proposed to the electors of the capital. The show of bands is described to have been alto gether favourable to Messrs. Wood, Grote, Crawford, and l'attison, upon whom accordingly the election was declared to have fallen. A poll, however, was demanded on behalf of the opposing candidates, and the voting will commence this day. They arc wrong and inconsiderate who assume that we have taken any pleasure in holding up to public notice the languor, unskilfulness, and bad success of those who managed the Conservative cause, as com pared with the friends of the " movement." As little satisfaction had we in anticipating from the canvass of the three or four past days, that the materials of victory under the ablest management might, so far as the city constituency were concerned, possibly prove inadequate to the desired end. But our object as well as our duty was to tell what appeared to us to be the truth, in respect both of the strength of the parties and of the qualifications exhibited by their leaders ; and whatever may be the result, or how ever partially unfortunate (if it should prove what we yet hope it will not) to the cause of just government and of rational reform, no such disadvantage can be in the slight est degree mitigated, but the reverse, by flattering ourselves or others with representations delusive on the face of them. One fact, which in justice to the " Conservatives" ought to be stated, is, that they had originally no intention of raising an opposition to their present antagonists, who were therefore several days earlier in the field. We admit, too, with great pleasure, the uncommon exertions made yester day—exertions which, if strenuously and zealously conti rued, will yet secure a triumph. Lord Stanley's address to the constituency of North Lancashire has been pub lished, and is, as might be expected, worth attention. His Lordship, after reminding the electors that he had always been a Reformer, ecclesiastical and civil, but always like wise the protector of Church and State from hazardous innovations, proceeds to explain his retirement from the late Ministry, with which in the general work of reform he had cordially co-operated, because of its having assented " to one important step, of which he feared " the destructive tendency," meaning, of course, the con tingent alienation of the property "of the Irish Church ; and " I declined to join the Administration which " is now formed, because I had no public grounds for confidence that they would boldly and strenuously act upon those principles of reform which I believe to be essential to the national welfare." And if Lord Stanley had no grounds which he could state publicly and formally for that confi dence wherein alone he could justify, to the satisfaction of his own mind or of his observant country, a close junction with a party which he had hitherto opposed, who will say that his declining at that time, and under those circum stances, to unite with it, was not the part of an honest and high-minded man ? But mark the sequel of Lord Stanley's address. He does not allege the want of ostensible grounds for confidence in the present Ministers as a pretext for that factious and unprincipled opposition to them—for that condemnation without a trial—for that expulsion from office without a hearing, which has been so disgracefully threatened in other quarters—quarters not to be named in the same century with Lord Stanley—for any one of those attributes of public virtue, knowledge, ability, or usefulness, which entitle statesmen to the respect and gratitude of an enlightened nation. Lord Stanley goes into Parlia ment, " not pledged to support, nor to oppose the present, nor any other set of Ministers." Should "he find that the Government, however, composed, gives full and free scope to the principles of Reform," he will lend for such a purpose " his cordial aid." Should they rashly endanger the institutions of the country, "he will ln hour earnestly to protect those institutions." Should the present Ministers " be slow to remedy acknowledged grievances, or madly resist the rational desire of temperate improvement, my voice will be but one among the vast ma jority of my countrymen who will compel them to advance in the steady progress of constitutional reform?' This is the language of an honest man—this is the determination of an independent mind. For this we had ourselves hum bly endeavoured to dispose the political feelings of the country, from the first hour of the accession of the Con servatives to office. These same sentiments, in almost the same words, have been avowed by Sir Francis Burdett to the electors of Westminster. They are not the sentiments of sordid and desperate faction, and therefore the praise and adoption of them will be confined to the just, the wise, the disinterested, and the patriotic—that is, to a large ma jority, we hope and trust, of the representatives of Great Britain.---" Times." CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT, JAN. 6. The January Sessions were opened this morning in the Old Court, before the Recorder, the Common Sergeant, Mr. Sergeant A rabin, Mr. Alderman Cowie, and the usual authorities. The Grand Jury having been sworn, The Recorder addressed them as follows: " Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, I am very happy to congratu late you on the lighness of the calendar, both as regards the num ber and character of the offences ; and, Gentlemen, as I see many of you who have frequently been on a similar service, I do not think it necessary to make any particular remark on the na ture of the cases submitted to your notice, with the exception of two, one of which is the case of William Palmer, accused of ar son. You will find the materials of evidence here very profuse ; but of a circumstantial, rather than a direct nature. You must be well aware, gentlemen, that there can be no better evidence than circumstantial, if sufficiently strong, and of a conclusive nature ; but, on the other hand, there are many circumstances wholly in conclusive and incomplete : it will be for you to judge. The case is one of deep importance to the public, and demands a minute in vestigation ; and if you should be of opinion that the evidence which will be laid before you should be strong enough, un heard and unexplained, for another Jury to return a ver dict of guilty on, it will be your duty to return a true bill against the accused. The other is the case of Tipper, who, acting in the capacity of an officer, was accused of feloniously receiving pro perty from thieves. In this case, gentlemen, you will only have the evidence of thieves, a class of persons whose testimony limit be received with great caution ; but if there should appear a suffi cient body of probable facts, it would be their duty to return a bill in this case also. The other cases are of such an ordinary nature, that I will not delay you, gentlemen, by any remarks of mine, from your labours." The Grand Jury then withdrew, and the Recorder left the Court ; but Mr. Sergeant Arabin and Mr. Common-Sergeant Mirehouse remained, and the petty jury were sworn in. There are 126 prisoners for trial, the most of whom are from Middlesex. SECOND EDITION, FIVE O'CLOCK.—We have direct authority to state that two Conservative candidates start for this city. Particulars hereafter.—Cork Evening Herald. COCKERMOUTH.—An opponent has suddenly and expectedly sprung up against Mr. Dykes in the person of Mr. Horsman, nephew of Sir John Dalrymple, the late Member for the county of Edinburgh. His address to the electors is bold and uncompromising ; and at a meeting held yesterday (Thursday), he spoke with great fluency and effect, and evi dently made a deep impression. —Carlisle Journal. WESTMORELAND.—WC have no hopes this county will mend its position. There is to be a meeting to-day ( Sa turday) at Kendal, to consider what steps should be taken to oppose the Lowthers. G. Wilson, Esq., of Dallam Tower, hitherto a staunch yellow, has promised his best support to Mr. Barham.— Carlisle Journal. DUNDALK.—MR SHARMAN CRAWFORD.—We received last night an extremely gratifying account of the pro ceedings of the Dundalk Reformers. The return of Mr. Sharman Crawford is placed beyond all doubt. —Dublin Mor Register, WINDSOR.-NOMINATION. MONDAY EVENING.—At ten o'clock this morning, the no mination took place at the Town-hall, which was completely filled with spectators. The three candidates, John Rams bottom, Esq., Sir John E. De Beau•oir, and Sir John Elley, were attended to the hall by their committees and friends in great numbers. The show of hands was in favour of Sir J. De Beauvoir and Mr. Ramsbottom—and two to one greater for Sir J. De B. than for Mr. R. A poll was demanded by the proposer of Sir J. Elley, and the Court was then adjourned till to-morrow morning. The polling to commence at nine o'clock. The general opinion here is that Sir John De Beauvoir will this time be successful in emancipating the borough ; although there is no doubt but the contest will be most severe. There is no appearance of reaction here in favor of Toryism; and the Tory candidate Sir J. Elley, would have no chance what ever, was it not for the disgraceful proceedings of several members of his committee, in intimidating the poor, but ho nest voters. John Ramibottom, Esq., and Sir J. E. De Beauvoir, are the Liberal candidates ; the former is the old memher for the borough ; the latter, it will be remembered, nearly ousted the nominee candidate at the last election, although he did not enter the town till it had been canvassed by his opponents. PORTSMOUTH-NOMINATION. The Liberal candidates are the late members, Bonham Carter and Francis Thornhill Baring (one of the joint-secre taries to the Treasury, under the Melbourne Administration) ; against whom are pitted Sir Charles Rowley—an old and gal lant officer, one of the Lords of the Admiralty under our present crumpling Administration, and the celebrated Captain Napier, affectionately styled here, " The old Pirate." Upon what interest this gallant officer is cruising it is difficult to say ; for he seems to make sail after everything (as he did when in the Portuguese service), and to make speeches on every side, —in short, " to be all by turns, and nothing long." Sir Charles Rowley plants his principles ox the recent flimsy and hypocritical address of his master ( Sir Robert),—that is to say, he is a Reformer on the hustings, and a thorough Con servative in Parliament—if ever he gets there. Messrs. Rowley and Napier have, however, it seems, now formed a coalition. The strength of the Liberals lies in the respectable inhabitants and the shopkeepers. Out of the 122 voters in the High-street, that is, the main street of the town, they are secure of above 100. The proceedings were opened at twelve o'clock, at the Ses sions-House, where the precept and other documents having been read, the returning officer of the borough—(— Spicer, Esq., Mayor,)—adjourned the Court to St. George's-square, Portsea, in which place hustings had been erected. Mr. W. GRANT, the banker, then came forward to propose Mr. Bonham Carter. The nomination was seconded by Mr. Tnos. JACKSON, and received with considerable cheering. Mr. Alderman COOPER proposed Mr. Francis Thornhill Baring, Which was seconded by Mr. WM. Euts. Mr. CASHER nominated Capt. Napier, amidst most enthusi astic cheering. Mr. ATTYIELD briefly seconded the nomination. Mr. GARRATT, amidst loud cheering, proposed Admiral Sir Charles Rowley. Dr. QUERIES, of the Marines, seconded the nomination. Mr. CARTER then stepped forward to address the meeting. What was the secret of the dissolution ? They wanted sham Reformers—men who would not go to the root of corruption— men who would quietly take the address of Sir Robert Peel for gospel—men who know nothing of those reforms which the institutions of the country really require, and will take whatever Sir R. Peel may condescend to give us as sufficient. Cheers.) They knew very well that if the people sent old Reformers, the polluted sources of corruption would be tho roughly cleansed, and they were, therefore, anxious to delude them by the flimsy promises and address of Sir Robert Peel. It would not do. In conclusion he bogged to say he bad given no vote which he did not conscientiously consider f (11 the good of the people ; and that if they returned him ag ain ' his entire conduct should be guided by the same honest and ur right motive. Air. BARING said it was true he had neitl:er residence O f property there, and this alone showed the high grouncl,o which he stood—the confidence of the electors in his political principles and integrity.—( Cheers.) He stood there on that occasion without office or patronage, and he should therefore) be able to see who supported him for his principles and who for his official connections. The principles he first professed t?, them he still entertained, and would vigorously act upon, P they again returned him. Capt. Napier next briefly addressed the meeting. On the subject of the coalition, he said, when in the dock-yard , k g asked several for votes who had promised plumpers to Sir Charles Rowley, and who exessed their willingness to gi ce him their split vote, if released'by Sir Charles. The gallant Admiral very properly told them to do with their second o°l as they liked. Sir C. ROWLEY confirmed this, stating he never thoughl of even hinting to his supporters how to give their neo n / vote ; and if he had done so, he should have been ashamed of himself. When applied to, his answer was, " lam not the man to dictate to any one—do as you like with your own . The show of hands being in favour of Sir Charles Rc' v ' e ' r and Captain Napier, a poll was demanded for Messrs. C art " and Baring, which will commence to-morrow (this day.) HORSHAM.—NOMINA TION. MONDAY, JAN. s.—The nomination took place here to-d 0 at one o'clock, and closed at half-past three. Each candidate was attended by his friends ; and opposite to Mr. Hurst, the late member, were exhibited two placards—one mentioning, the opposition he had given to a motion for the abolition 6' flogging, the other notifiying the violation of his pledge to sur port the repeal of the malt tax. Mr. Hurst was nominated b/ W. Rickwood, Esq., and was seconded by Mr. G e orge DO' son. Sir Timothy Shelley, Bart., proposed Thomas Broad wood, Esq., of Holrnbush ; the nomination was seconded 11 Pilford Medwin, Esq. The candidates then addressed 0° electors and assembled multitude, amidst much tumult. C''', /1 a show of hands, those in favour of Mr. Broadwood gre atly predominated ; and the returning-officer declared that tt . choice had fallen on that candidate, on which Mr. Padvol the professional agent of Mr. Hurst, demanded a poll, vill u ic e will commence to-morrow morning, at nine o'clock. ." 6 , contest is likely to be very severe—a large portion of the c°-- , stituency being exceedingly dissatisfied with Mr. Hurst's intu i t ner of discharging his parliamentary duties. There are aboli about 280 voters; and it is not expected that the polling 61 ' extend beyond that day. TITHE AFFRAY. (Abridged from the Dublin Morning Register.) INQUEST AT RATHCORMAC. THE DEFENCE. At twelve o'clock the Court again met. Captain Bagley said that he understood the case had cles e j: and before the defence was entered upon, he begged to be lowed to address a few words to the Court. The Court having said that they would willingly hear CM ) Bagley, he proceeded— Mr. Coroners and Gentleman of the Jury—l have a v_ e ,. ( l, few words to say, and in those few words I beg to be °l e tinctly understood, that I do not, in the slightest deg_ e i; wish to shift myself from any responsibility justly attributa i i i , to me on the melancholy occurrences of Thursday. Gent'„, e men, an impression has gone abroad on the minds of the P e ' llt plc, that I acted singly. I distinctly disavow that I went, ° ,, s , thus, or that I was not acting in concert with my brother ol et , gistrates. In saying this, I do not, in the slightest deg r ot attribute anything to my brother Magistrates that was li t what Magistrates ought to pursue on such an occasion, only mean to say that, had I known that I was to have ite'l individually, I would not have done it. I conceived that was acting in concert with my brother Magistrates. At the Request of Captain Bagley, Mr. Foote and sere et , the Jurors proceeded to the hospital, and put the folloo l l questions to Shinwick :—What were the words made us e by you to Dr. O'Neill, respecting the conduct of CaPt,,, Bagley on Thursday 1 The answer was that, he did not collect what he said about Captain Bagley to Dr. O'Neill; but he remembered that Captain Bagley, after reading t a i Riot Act, told the people to be quiet, and that his getter conduct was kind. Mr. Foote and the Jurors having returned, the inquiry proceeded with. The first witness called was Captain Theobald PepP og9 C. C.
