ELECT .GENCE. BRIGHTON. The nomination of candidates to represent the borough of Brighton in Parliament took place yes terday from a hustings erected in front of the Town Hall, and the proceedings were conducted with more than usual goodorder. Thisresultwas probably due to the fact that the mayor, having experience of the violence displayed by the mob at the election two years ago, had taken theprecautionnot only to erect strong barriers and to bring into action the whole available police forces of Brighton and Hove, but had the ground swept clear of stones and carefully rolled, that those who meant mischief might not have missiles ready at hand. There was, however, a deal of uproar and interruption, but in this the platform set the example to the audience below. After the proclamation and the other preliminary ceremonies had been gone through, The MAYOR, in appealing for a fair hearing for all speakers, announced that in consequence of the dis order prevailing at the previous election, he had on the present occasion taken additional precautions for the preservation of peace and the promotion of order. If Brighton sullied its reputation for order at the last election, there was now an opportuDity to retrieve it. (Cheers.) Mr. GEO. TATHAM then came forward, as he said, to nominate one whom the people had loved wisely and well, and who had served them wisely and well. H e spoke of their old friend James White. (Great cheering.) It was scarcely necessary that he should expatiate upon that gentleman's services, for they were well known ; but he would remind them that all the votes he had given in Parliament had been strictly, literally, and thoroughly adherent to the pledges he had given, and if returned again, as he was sure he would be, he would carry out still fur ther those measures for which the country had been long seeking. Mr. White had always done his best to improve the condition of the poorer classes and to eradicate pauperism. (Cheers, oh, oh, and hisses.) He felt confident that Mr. White would be returned at the head of the poll. Mr. SAVAGE, in seconding the nomination, said that by electing Mr. White the town of Brighton would gain credit and benefit the nation, for all that gentlemen's votes in the House of Commons had been of the progressive kind. Mr. Alderman WiLsoN, amidst cheers, hisses, and considerable interruption, proposed Mr. Henry Moor, who, he said, entered Parliament in February last year as an independent member, and in that capacity had fully recognised the expectations of the electors. (Hisses and cheers.) Mr. Moor had attended in his place as regularly as any member of the House of Commons ; and as a resident member he attended to all the local institutions of the town, spending a princely income as a private gentleman --(oh, oh)—and contributing to all the useful socie ties of the borough. (" Oh, oh," and cheers.) Mr. Moor was an advocate for the education of the people, and within the last few months had been the chief cause of a reduction in the price of gas. (Derisive laughter and cheers.) But if there was one thing more than another upon which he recom mended Mr. Moor, it was that he was a thorough man of business. He urged the people not to be led away by eloquent speeches characterised by an amount of sophistry almost unheard of in the town —(" Oh, oh," and hisses)—but to poll for the resi dent candidate. (Cheers and hisses)" Capt. ConnlE seconded. Col. FawcErr nominated Mr. Henry Fawcett— (great cheering)—a learned, energetic, sincere, and honest advocate of those principles which they all held so dear. (Cheers.) Those principles Mr. Faw cett had worked out in his private study, and by a learned and assiduous attention to the political state of the country he had arrived at certain con clusions which he was happy to find were in unison with the opinion of the electors of Brighton. They knew how well this gentleman was able to expatiate upon those principles, and to stand up in the House of Commops and maintain the great principles of liberty, reform, and progression. (Cheers.) Mr. W. HALLETT having seconded the nomination, and there being no other candidate to be proposed, Mr.WitrrE came to the front of the hustings, and was greeted with vociferous cheers. He said his gal lant friend who introduced the learned professor had said to him, "White, don't give them a long yarn. All you have to say say in 10 minutes, and that will give the greatest satisfaction." (Cheers, and a Voice —" Talk of yourself !") That was the sixth time within the last few days that he had addressed the electors, and he should claim their suffrages because he had carried out every promise that he had made to them five years ago. He had to the best of his ability unswervingly adhered to those great liberal principles which had always characterised theborough of Brighton; but if he wished to prefer a still higher title to be returned to the House of Commons, he would saythat-he had been honoured with the friend ship of that great and good man Richard Cobden. Cobden's birth was an honour to that county, and he thought it a fitting occasion upon the nomination of members to represent the principal town in that county to pay the homage of respect to the memory of one so good and distinguished. (Cheers.) He looked back with a melancholy interest to the conversation he had with his departed friend this time last year, the last time that Cobden spoke in Parliament, Mr. Cobden was then about bringing forward a mo tion in reference to the wanton extravagance and mal-administration of the manufacturing depart ments of the Government, and came to him in the library, and said, "White, I feel that I have very nearly done my work." That observation gave him (Mr. White) a feeling of great sorrow; but when Mr. Cobden did address the house in reference to the question of which he had given notice his speech was marked with the same inexorable logic and the same force of reasoning as his earlier addresses, and by the confession of all who heard it, his last speech was one of the best, if not the best, that Richard Cobden ever pronounced in the House of Commons. (Cheers.) Ile might be permitted without egotism to add, that on the occasion of which he had been speaking Mr. Cob den came to him and said, " I wish you much to take part in the discussion." As he had not looked into the matter very closely he told him that he did not intend to speak, but at his friend's urgent recommendation, which he received almost as a command, he did ad dress himself to the subject, and it would be a life long satisfaction to him that Le had had the oppor tunity of supporting the very last motion Richard Cobden ever made in his place in Parliament. (Great cheering.) The opinions of the borough were the same as when it returned him to Parliament, amidst all the cant and fashionable imposture of reaction ; and if it was said that there was a feeling growing up dif ferent to that which once prevailed as regarded the urgency of reform and the onward movement of those great principles they loved, the electors would on Wednesday give the most emphatic contradiction to all such assertions, and show not only to that county but to England and the world that Brighton was a stronghold of thorough, uncompromising, and de termined liberal principles. (Prolonged cheering.) Mr. MOOR, who was received with cheers, hisses, and laughter, and whose appearance in the front was the signal for the hoisting in the midst of the mob of a placard with the words, " Moor in his last agonies," said he did not think he looked like a man in his last agonies. (Laughter and cheers.) He had represented the borough during two sessions, and no one had yet come forward to say that he had ever neglected his duty or deserted the principles upon which he was elected. (Cheers.) Those principles were principles of independence, and seeking to do the largest amount of good for the largest number of the people ; and now he appealed to the judgment of the electors, and their sense of fairness, whether they thought it right that a coalition should be formed against him, to keep the representation of the borough in thehands of a clique. (Hisses and groans.) During the two sessions he had sat in Parliament for Brighton he had been enabled to work with Mr. White in all local and other matters, and, as he had been told by that gentleman himself, to his satisfac tion. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) As he had voted in the past so would he vote in the future, regardless of all those petty distinctions of party, which did no good in passing legislative me asures which ought to be passed wholly and solely for the benefit of the people of this country. On the question of foreign affairs he had invariably gone upon the principle of non-interference with other nations, in order that this country might not be engaged in any more of those costly wars which produced a large amount of taxation, and under which the people themselves could not prosper. (Hisses and cheers.) He wished to carry on the contest with perfect good humour. (Cheers.) The result of his can vass left no doubt of his success. (Oh, oh, and laughter.) There was not a shadow of a doubt about his being returned, and all he asked was the Englishman's right of fair play—that his friends might not be interfered with in coming to the'poll, as they were last time—("oh, oh," groans and hisses),—when they were tumbled into the gutter. (Laughter, hisses, and cheers.) Mr. FAWCETT—who was greeted-with three cheers and the question, " What about co-operation ?" said he would tell them something about co-opera tion before he had done. (Cheers.) When an op ponent was labouring under a delusion he always assumed a generous policy towards him and came forward to undeceive him. (Cheers.) Mr. Moor had said his canvass left no doubt of success. That canvass was the result of the labour of paid emis saries. His (Mr. Fawcett's) was the result only of volunteer effort. No man had a motive in deceiving him. (Loud cheers.) The man who got his guinea a day for hawking about the qualifications of a can didate was obliged at night to come with a good re turn, but he wished to undeceive his Conservative friends by telling them at once that they could not win. (Cheers.) Let the electors come early to the poll, but the only question they had to decide was whether they would not give the Tories such a thrashing that it would be long before one of that minority again ventured to come forward to contest the borough. He wished to give his Conservative opponents the latest piece of information. They did not like a coalition. A coalition had been formed, however, and permanently cemented on the previ ous night, at one of the moat magnificent meetings that had ever been held in the south of England— (great cheering)—and the Liberals of the e borough were determined not to be deceived by the delusive cry of liberal conservatism. (Loud cheers.) They knew that if Mr. Moor were returned either with Mr. White or himself, the borough upon every political question was virtually disfranchised, and therefore ninety-nine out of every hundred of them were determined to support the two liberal candi dates. (Cheers.) He had hoped that in the speeches which had been made some light would have been thrown upon the new phase of conservatism, .but Mr. Alderman Wilson--a gentleman fond of writing letters—had said not a word about politics, contenting himself when asking them to vote for the resident candidate and the man of princely fortune. In solemn and significant tones Mr. Wilson had asserted Mr. Moor had done signal service during the last four or five years, and he (Mr. Fawcett) for a mo ment thotight that some important political ques tion had escaped him, but at length, to his surprise, it exploded in a little gas. (Laughter and cheers.) Last year, when there was a split in the Liberal party, they heard nothing about liberal conserva tism, but when Mr. Moor, the chosen one of the Standard and Morning He ald, was elected, the Tories triumphed in his return as affording a signal instance of what they termed the great conservative reaction. (Cheers.) Brighton was no place for liberal conservatism ; there was a bracing, invigo rating political atmosphere. (Laughter and cheers.) The people liked one thing or the other. They might, perhaps, respect and pity the old consistent tory. They might look upon him with the curiosity which they felt towards an ancient relic of bygone days, but such a thing as a liberal conservative they could not understand and could not recognise. (Cheers.) It appeared to him that the contest would be honestly, as it must in reality be a fair stand-up fight between liberalism and conservatism, in which liberalism would achieve a signal and triumphant victory. Mr. Moor had said that he had conducted the contest with perfect good temper, and he (Mr. Fawcett) wassure he himself had not used an expres sion which one gentleman might not use to another; he had spoken out strongly because he felt strongly, but he had the proud satisfaction of saying that he had not sanctioned the issue of any anonymous slanderous bills—(loud cheers)—and nothing had done him so much good as the anonymous attacks which had been hurled agtinst him. (Renewed cheers.) They had said he was disqualified from representing the borough. He had challenged those who advanced the allegation to repeat it publicly, and as they did not respond he was sure that that generous constituency would not listen to attacks from such quarters, and his belief was that he should not lose ten votes by the reckless charge that had been made against him in the bills and private can vass of his opponents. (Cheers.) He never could forget the , reception he had met with in that borough. (Cheers.) Everything that had been done for him had been done by the enthusiasm of the people ; not one shilling had he spent in his canvass, and not one halfpenny in placarding pub lic-houses. (Loud cheers, and some interruption.) He should be sorry if the great Liberal cause were reduced to such extremities as to depend for sup port upon placards all over a public-house with the words, " Vote for the resident candidate"—(laugh ter and cheers)—and he thought the Tory gentle men of the borough must feel ashamed of such practices. (Great cheering.) He was profoundly grateful for the reception that had been accorded to him, and he might be asked how he intended to I show his gratitude in his future pa r li amen t ar y life. (Cheers, and a Voice, " You are not there yet.") He would never hesitate or waver in the expression of his opinions—he would never say to one that he was a Conservative, while with another he called himself a Liberal. (Cheers.) When measures were brought forward favourable to the great principles of religious liberty he would be always ready to support them ; when measures were brought forward to extend the rights of citizen ship to his fellow-cou atrymen, those measures would receive his enthusiastic advocacy, for there was no one among his countrymen that he distrusted or looked upon with suspicion ; and go far as the foreign policy of the country was concerned, when freedom required the encouraging word he trusted he should not be backward to give it. (Loud cheers.) And he would do what he could to break down those monopolies and privileges which it had been the retrograde policy of the Tories to maintain. He knew that the principle of their creed was that men were not born equal, but he thought that all mono polies and all class privileges should be done away with. (Loud cheers.) He wished everything to be thrown open to the people. He wished to see the small tradesman and respectable working man able, if they had sons of sufficient ability, to get them places in Government offices without cringing for the favour of a Government nominee. (Prolonged cheering.) He shouldlike to see the taxation equi tably and fairly adjusted, and if a law were pointed out to him as pressing upon one class or giving un fair advantages to another, it would find in him an honest and uncompromising opponent. (Cheers.) He denied the insinuation that he had used sophistry. No one could doubt his meaning. No one could ac cuse him of hesitation or vacillation. (Cheers.) He had conducted the contest in a manly and straight forward way. (Cheers.) He had concealed nothing. He had attempted to cringe to no one, but had simply placed before the electors a great poli tical issue, which they had accepted. (Loud cheers.) Only let them go early to the poll, and there would be no more said about Conservative reaction in Brighton ; liberal conser vatism would have become extinct, and the borough on returning Mr. White and himself would have re turned two men who would work harmoniously to gether, and who would be united in giving expres sion to the opinions of their constituents upon every liberal question which they believed would extend the welfare and happiness of the people of this country. (Loud and prolonged cheering.) A show of hands was then taken, and almost every hand appeared to be raised for Mr. White and also for Mr. Fawcett, while Mr. Moor did not num ber 30 or 40 supporters. The Mayor accordingly declared the choice of the borough to have fallen upon Mr. James White and Mr. Henry Fawcett. A poll was demanded by Mr. Alderman Wilson on behalf of Mr. flenry:Moor. CAMBRIDGE. The nomination of the candidates for the borough took THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 12, 1865. place yesterday. Mr. Swann Murrell, the Mayer, presided ; and after the usual formalities Mr. Balls nominated Mr. F. S. Powell, who has repre sented the borough in Parliament for the last three years. Dr. Adams seconded this nomination. Alderman Harris, chairman of the Liberal committee, proposed the senior candidate, Mr. Christie. Mr. P. Beales seconded this nomination. Mr. G. E. Foster, banker, of Cambridge, proposed Mr. R. R. Torrens. Mf Alderman H. Smith seconded the nomination. Dr. Fawcett proposed Mr. Forsyth, Q.C., whose opinions, Dr. Fawcett said, were identical with those of Mr. Macau lay. Eventually the Mayor declared the show of hands to be in favour of Messrs. Christie and Torrens. A poll was demanded, and fixed for to-day. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. In the Senate House, yesterday morning, Mr. Vice-- Chancellor presiding, the elections of the members for the University were proceeded with. Both the late members —Mr. Walpole and Mr. Selwyn —were unanimously re elected. in carrying measures for the benefit of the people. It was by the votes of the party he had always supported that measures of general improvement had been carried, the restrictions taken off trading, the necessaries of life freed from taxes, and luxuries made cheaper. They had been told that agriculture would be ruined by the admission of foreign goods, but they had seen, on the contrary, that agriculture had been benefited. It had been by the mea sures which the present Government had carried that food had been cheapened, employment increased, and wages raised. Were not those measures for which they were entitled to the support of the working classes ? For those principles they were prepared to go, and he asked them to send him to Parliament to further measures based upon such principles. Since he addressed them last, he had en deavoured to pay his respects to every elector, and he had to return thanks for the kindness and courtesy which he had received. In consequence of the disturbance, the re mainder of the hon. gentleman's remarks could not be heard. Alderman KEARSLEY afterwards addressed the electors. The MAYOR declared the show of hands in favour of Alderman Searsley and Mr. Greenwood. A poll was demanded on behalf of Sir C. Wood. vious to the commencement of his speech two effigies were brought amongst the crowd, which caused great amuse ment and no inconsiderable amount of tumult. Ono was a head representing Mr. Horsman's, one-half painted blue (the Tory colour) and one-half yellow (the Whig colour). The other was a weathercock; ono side was painted yel low inscribed "Mr. Horsman in 1853 ;" the other was painted blue, and inscribed "Mr. Herman in 1865." When the right hon. gentleman succeeded in obtaining a hearing, he said he would tell them the meaning of the hat and the bird. The hat was like his own (a white one), but under it there was a block of wood without any brains and with a shut mouth. Now he interpreted that to mean Mr. Pon sonby's head. (Tremendous uproar.) The bird with the side of 1865 represented a gamecock, and that of 1853 very like a goose. (Laughter.) After another long interval of uproar, Mr. Horsman asked why it was that this opposi tion had been got up and this contest brought about, and he proceeded to criticise most severely, and with great per sonality, the conduct of his opponents and of their candi date. He accused the advanced liberal party of having been hawking themselves about for a candidate, of having gone to London and to Gloucester and been snubbed, and at last having had Mr. Ponsonby palmed upon them, be cause he had been got rid of at Cirencester, and his friends wanted to get another place for him. He was not good enough for a small and insignificant place like Cirencester, but ho was good enough for the important commercial town of Stroud. It had been said in the praise of Mr. Scropo that when ho first went to Parliament he had to assist in the abolition of those sinecures and pensions which existed previous to the time of the Reform Bill. Those groat abuses were of four classes, and provided pen sions and places for the families and members of the aris tocracy. A black book containing a list of thorn was pub lished, and he saw that the name of Ponsonby appeared in all these classes ; and oven one Sarah Ponsonby—(" Aunt Sally")—was provided for out of the public purse. (Great confusion, and cries of "Read.") A man who had come of a family who had been so largely pampered out of the public taxes was now the accepted candidate of these ad vanced liberals. Mr. Ponsonby's friends had said that ho was a stranger to them. Ho had been eleven years in Par liament, and what sort of a member must he have been to be a stranger? It had been said that he was an indepen dent man, but he never gave a vote but at the instigation of the Ministerial whips. If he was a reformer why did he not, in 1861, vote with Mr. White on his amendment to the address condemning the Government for their aban mont of reform ? Now ho (Mr. Horsman) was not a sinecurist nor a pledge-breaker; and though he would hare been happy to have met on the hustings an opponent of earnest and honest opinions, with a ragged coat or without a coat at all, ho did say that this contest was not one of principle, but was merely personal —a contest founded upon a contempt of all principle—a contest which every man of honour and character, and who valued the reputation of his town, every man of morality or conscience should set his face against, whatever his political opinion's, as an unprin cipled alliance. He concluded a speech of two and a quar ter hours, most of which time had been spent in endea vouring to conciliate the crowd, by an anticipation of victory on the morrow. Mr. Ponsonby, who was received with great applause, and was evidently the "popular" candidate, then briefly addressed the crowd, but was indistinctly heard. He said Mr. Horsman's speech consisted solely of an attack upon himself ; he had not stated anything of what were his own principles. Some members of his (Mr. Ponsonby's) family had undoubtedly received pensions, but they were for services rendered ; the last ho knew of was for services at Waterloo. He, at least, had never received a penny of the public money—(loud applause)—and his family had always been reformers. He briefly touched upon some of Mr. Horsman's departures from his own party, particularly the French treaty and the question of reform ; and with regard to his own votes, said ho had voted with Mr. Scrope more than 300 times during the last Parliament. (Cheers.) Where was Mr. Iforsman ? (Various cries.) Ho was not a more Ministerial supporter, and had voted against them in favour of the reduction of the fire insurance duties, and had not voted for them on the fortification scheme ; but he had supported the Government generally, because it was a liberal, a good, and a popular government. He concluded by expressing his intention to vote for a good reform bill. A show of hands was then taken, and was largely in favour of Messrs. Ponsonby and Scrope. A poll was de manded on the part of Mr. Horsman, and will take place this day ( Wendesday). CANTERBURY. The nomination of candidates for the representation of this city took place yesterday, the hustings for that pur pose being erected in the cattle market. Prom 2,000 to 3,000 people were present, notwithstanding several heavy showers of rain. The usual formalities having been gone through, Mr. Alderman Austin proposed Mr. H. A. Butler-John stone, one of the late members, for re-election ; and Alder man T. W. Collard seconded the nomination. Mr. Wm. Plummer, one of the city magistrates, proposed Major William Lyon, whose nomination was seconded by Mr. H. Cooper. Mr. Arthur Cannon proposed Colonel Alexander Shafto Adair, who was seconded by Mr. George Neame, a city magistrate. Mr. Neame remarked that Colonel Adair had the advantage of being recommended by the Right Hon. Lord Athlumney, late Liberal member for the city. Alderman Philpott nominated Mr. J. W. Huddleston, Q.C., and the nomination was seconded by Mr. J. Calla way. The show of hands was then taken, and declared by the Sheriff to be in favour of Major Lyon and Colonel Adair. A poll was demanded for Mr. Butler-Johnstone and Mr. Huddleston, and fixed to take place this day. DEVIZES. The nomination took place yesterday. Contrary to all expectation, at almost the last moment an opposition to the return of Mr. Darby Griffith (who has become extremely unpopular with the Conservative party as well as the Libe rals), was offered by Mr. John Curling, of King's Bench walk, Temple, who avowed himself in his address, issued on the previous evening, as a supporter of the liberal policy of Lord Palmerston's Government. Dr. Darby Griffith was nominated by Sir Thomas Hop kins, and seconded by Mr. Hillier. Sir Thomas Bateson, the other sitting candidate, was proposed by Mr. Edwin Giddins, and seconded by Mr. Wm. Brown. Mr. Curling was then proposed by Mr. J. T. Knight, and seconded by Mr. C. W. Morris. The candidates then each addressed the electors.

The other candidates appealed to the crowd on his behalf, but without avail. His address was consequently very short. He alluded to his past conduct in Parliament, and said he had supported that Government which had been in favour of those mea sures which would be a benefit to the groat body of the people.
