will be planed in that situation on the poll which I trust will for ever silence them.—(Great and loud cheering which lasted for "wine time.) Gentlemen, do not let it be supposed, that bacianse I am inclined to advocate the cause of Sir. William. Ingilby (agreeing as I do with him on all the public principles on which 1 have heard him declare himself), that I wish to cast any reflection on any man who holds opinions different to my own. I respect the opinions of every men, if they are fairly and freely expressed, although they may be against the ballot or triennial Parlia ments, and however decided my own opinions may be on those points.—(Cheers.) And I will do justice to my. Honourable Friend (Sir Montague Cbolmeley), in this revect. No private feelings would, lam enre, induce him to change his sentiments. I know to well his many character.—(Hear, hear.) If he changes his epinion, it is on due consideration and honest conviction, and, I be lieve, that he, by degrees, is coming to the ballot—and I myself have but very recently come to a deliberate convic tion that nothing short of the election by ballet can secure to Englishmen their rights and liberties...-(Hear, hear, and cheers.) If any man among you comes here to hold up his hand contrary to the feelings which his conscience dictates, I recommend him to go home and consider well what he is about to do, before he comes to the poll, and I recommend each of them to commene with his friends and neighbours, and confer with them, and tell them that it is their duty to exercise the franchise with which the Constitution has vested them, according to the dictates of their own consciences, especially at a period when the Ile formed Parliament is about to assemble-s-teet to sit, as it appears my friend (Mr. Corbett) evonld have them, with their arms folded, and do no trore—bu t to redress all oar grievances, to revise the institutions of the country, and to reduee all those burdens which press no heavily on the - industry and comforts of the people.—(Cheer ing.) Sir Robert Sheffield tells us that he is favourable to these reductions. lam glad to hear it,—but when he tells you that he is for reforming the Church, and accom panies that declaration by a statement that he considers it a plunder on the Church to interfere with the Church pro perty,—when we see associated around him, as his sup porters, that body,—that black clerical array—( Hear, bear, and groans)—l ask you whether you can expect that he would administer that efficient reform with whit!) alone we should be satisfied ?—(Cries of "No, no.") Why, it is mere delusion ! The Hon. Baronet himself would not, I am sure, deceive you, but on the contrary he gives you to understand what his feelings are on the subject,-.-and he also tells you in a manly manner, that he is opposed to the ballot ? Why, Gentlemen, is he opposed to tbe ballot ? Because the only possible chance of success that can have visited his imagination is,that a great man 1:f the electors will not be .41e to vote freely and unbiassed. That is the ground of his offering himself, but even that will be found to be a delusion on his part.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I find my voice in such a state from recently addressing much larger multitudes than this in the metro polis, that I feel unable to proceed any further. All I en treat of you is,—to consider this election as one of the most important of those which are now in progress,—to go back to your respective parishes, and to entreat yoer friends to rally round the standard of public liberty, in the cause of the people,—for the friend of the people, Sir Wm. Ingilby. All and each of you, put your shoulders to the wheel, and rush to the poll to give your votes for or I should rather say for, yourselves—(Cheers)—and lend to those who have not the means of coming to the poll such conveyances as may be at your disposal, and assist them by such means as Providence may have blessed you with. Gentlemen, I beg leave to conclude by asking you to join me in giving three cheers for Sir William Ingilby. (Three hearty cheers were then given for Sir William, the same for Mr. Pelham, and three groans for Sir Robert Sheffield and the parsons.) Mr. BOUCHERETT replied at some length to Mr. Ten nyson, and in the course of his observations said, that in writing the letter to the secretary of tbe Market Rasen dinner he bad only exercised a right which he would not resign, whether called upon by a high Tory or a low Radical.—(Hear, hear, and confusion.) Mr. TENNYSON asked if Mr. Boucherett meant to apply the term " low Radical" to him ? Mr. BOI:CifERETT—Ye4, I did. Mr. TENNYsON—Then I tell that ilon. Gentleman, though it cost all our friendship, that I return to him my scorn and contempt—l throw at him that scorn and con tempt in the strongest language in which I could imply it—and I beg that he will deal with it as he may deem tit.` (Great applause and some confusion.) Some one in the crowd asked, " What does he mean by a low Radical ?" Mr. TENNYSON continued—" I thank that gentleman for his question, which I now repeat; and I beg leave to a,k Mr. Boucherett another question—Did be authorize, or was be privy to, the publication ul his letter in the shape of a handbill, which has bzen so extensively circu fated by the friends of Sir Robert Sheffield ?" Mr. BOUCHERETT—No, I was not; I never heard of its being published until a few days ago. Mr. TENNYSON—Then I should like to know who furnished the copy of that letter which is circulated by the friends of Sir Robert Sheffield, whom Mr. Boncherett bas not the manliness to support. What is the pitiful course he is adopting? He tells you my Honourable Friend attacked in Parliament Lord Brownlow ; that he used inflammatory language. He wrote that letter, I assume, for the purpose of supporting Sir Robert Sheffield, and yet he is not man enough to confess it. Let any man boldly state his opinions, as Mr. Pelham, and, I am bound to say, Sir Robert Sheffield have done : but here is a gen tleman who writes one way and acts another. I cannot descend to defend myself froth the calumnies that Hon. Gentleman has stated against me ; blot for your satisfac tion, I will say it is true that I did state at the Lambeth meeting, that, for the present, I did not think the ballot was dtsirahle. Ido not admire the ballot on principle, and I wish 1 could see the day when we should have no tyranni cal landlords making it necessary. I would that every En glishman could act as openly and honestly as, by the blessing of God's providence I am enabled to do ; for I never give a vote one way and promise it another. But after that meeting I came down into Lincolnshire to aid my Hon. Friend, and here I heard of the most se indalous goings un,which converted me to the ballot. Even this morning 1 beard an additional fact of undue influence.—(Cries of • Name.") Well, I will name; Mr. Gordon, son of the Dern of Lincoln, wrote to a tenant at Middle Rasen to say that he understood he bad promised a plumper to Mr. Pelham, but he demanded that the tenant should give one vote to Sir Robert Sheffield.—(Loud cries of " Shame.") Perhaps Mr. Boueherett thinks this an honest pro ceeding ! He thinks his tenants are his vassals ! Let him tell me he dots nut; He knows it is his opinion; be thinks that his tenantry are to be driven to the poll like a flock of geese. Ile tells me I changed my opinion of the ballot to save my election for Lambeth ; let any man inquire into the feeling of the people there as to my chance of success before I declared myself favour able to the ballot, and they will find my support was equally effective as now : I do not believe I gained a single vote by that avowal, while on the contrary I raised against myself a violent Tory party. Having said thus much in explanation of what has fallen from Mr. Boucherytt, I will only tell him in conclusion that I do not wish to quar rel with him : as to his phrase " Low Radical," it does not fit me, and I am regardless of it ; but if he does net retract what he has said, I must abandon him as he has abandoned me. With reference to the transmission of the report, it was sent to a provincial paper by a short-hand writer, and as a matter of convenience between Journalists, an early copy, I believe, at my recommendatiou, was sent to a London newspaper.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. BOCCHERETT—With respect to the phrase low Radical, I applied it only to the political conduct of Mr. Tennyson. I conceive his conduct to be of the low Radi cal class, and I believe those persons are quite as great 'YrantS as the Tory aristocracy. I mean by low Radical, toe advocates of the ballot. Mr. Tesistysori--Surelv, as a starch Reformer you will have some respect for that honest man, Lord Althorp ; and he is a friend to the ballot. Mr. BOUCHEILETT..-.1 mean that low Radicals seek a Reform, not for the purpose of restoring the Constitution, but of destroying it.—(Loud uproar, and cheering from the pinks.) At last there was a considerable uproar among the Tory party, which ended by the Sheriff taking th e show of hands, and Sir Robert Sheffield demanding a poll. The show of hands was three to one, at least, against the Tory party. The Court adjourned to Friday morning at 9, after which Col. Sibthorpe harangued the Tory party from one corner of the hustings. The subjects of his speech were principally abuse against the electors of Lambeth_ (Mr. Tennyson's constitu e nts), and a declaration to stand again for the City of Lincoln at some future election. SOUTH DERBYSHIRE. (Abridged from the Derby Reporter of 'Thursday.) At eleven o'clock, on Saturday last, the time appointed by the High Sheriff for the election of two Members for the southern division of this county, the three candidates, the Hon. G. J. Vernon, Lord Waterpark, and Sir Roger Greialey, appeared with their friends and the members of their Committees on the hustings', which had been erect ed for their accommodation in the County Hall. WILLIAM EVANS, Esq., M. P. for Leicester, could say r Mr. Vernon, that he had witnessed his conduct in P,a liament, and that they could not have a more honest, di ligent and patriotic Member, nor One who &sired to per form his duty with more satisfaction to himself and to the advantage of his constituents.—(Clamour, and shouts of applause.) After Mr. Evans bad done speaking, a great clamour was raised by a knot of persons on the left hand of the hustings, who had cheertd Sir Roger Greisle'y on his en trance, and who now appeared to be impatient for the Ba ronet to 'address the meeting. The special constables threw themselves into the midst of them, and a struggle took place, hat at length the hubbub ceazed. Sir nICHARD PAUL Jooani.L nest rose, and seconded the nomination of the Hon. George Vernon. PHILIP GnI.L, Esq., proposed Sir Roger Gr...istey as a St petson to represent the electors of this portion of Der byshire in the ensuing Parlittriant.—(Hisses, tumult, with some applause in the left hand corner of the hall.) - r Esq., seconded the noniinetlon. 13Eau3r0rvr, Esq.. then tdch-essed the electors as follows :—Gentlemen, elentars of the southern division of the county of Derby,-1 move, that Lord Waterpark be returned n. 5 'serve the southern division of the county of Derby in Parliament.—(Loud and continued applause.) JOHN STRUTT, Esq., seconded the nomination: The candida•es having been nominated, and the nomi. nations having been seconded ) the i-ircrr SHERIFF ob served that it was novv th'e titne for those gentlemen to the electors. The Hon. G. J. VERNON then prettehted himself to the selectors, and was received with loud and prolonged plaudits. He spoire nearly as follows : Geutlemen, Allow me to thank you very sincerely for the cordial re ception Which you have given me—a reception the more atifying to my feelings, inasmuch Ms's it proves to me that neither the calumnies, tsar the misrepresentations, still less the sneers that have been lavished upon me have made any ihspreseitm upon your minds; and that those principles the profession of which, at the last election, 'obtained for me your confidence and your support, will not now have less weight with you ; will not now find less favour in your sight, but will induce you to place me in the situation (to which of all others I aspire), that of an independent representative in a Reformed House of Cotnmons.—(Applause.) Before proceed any further, I must gratefully acknowledge the kindness of those gen tlemen who have torhe forward to propose and second me, and the plesture I experience in being mentioned by them in terms so flattering. I must congratulate my Hon. Friend, Mr. Evans, on receiving, at your hands, those tokens of approbation to which I think he is so justly en titled. If integrity of character—if firmness of purpose— d an anxious desire to serve his country—and to benefit mankind be merits, then indeed Mr. Evans stands a claimant on your favour in no ordinary degree.— (Cheers.) Here, at least, in Derby, his worth will be fully appre ciated. My best thanks are due also to Sir Richard Jo drell, ewho has kindly come forward on so short a notice, tt second my nomination. Gentlethen, I shall not tres pass long upon your tittre-, but trust that you will bear with me for a few moments while I endeavour to set in their preper light those pats of my public conduct that have been the most objected to. In the first place, I am charged, forsooth, with being an enemy to 'he agricultural interest—en enemy to my own inte rest ! Perhaps I hese not less stake in the agricultu ral interest-- , -peradventure I am not less mindful of what concerns myself, than some of those who make the accusation. I had hoped that the length of time that My family have lived in this county, supporting and sup ported by the agricultural interest, might have exempted me from such a charge. But let us see upon what grounds this accusation rests. As far as I can make out, it rests Prat no other grounds than because I voted against the proposition of Lord Chanties for giving the franchise to the 501. tenants at will. Gentlemen, at the last election, it was thought necessary by almost every constituency to require from candidates pledges as to their intention of supporting the Reform Bill. Prom me, as a new candi• date, as one unknown in public life, you also thought fit to require a pledr. But here lam stet by another accu sation. It i 3 sail to me, " You disgraced yourself by sub.. milting to give a pledge at ad." Now - , although Ido not approve of pledges in general, yet, considering the cir cumstances of the case, the magnitude of the question at issue—considering that the principles of the Bill had been already discussed—that the people had bad an op portunity of forming a correct opinion upon them—that the King himself had appealed to the people to ascertain . . that opinion—l say, taking into consideration all these cir cumstance,, that you were perfectly justified in demand ing a pledge from me, a new candidate ; and that I, ar dently desirous of seeing an extensive reform effected in ettr representative system--Laving, moreover, duly weighed in my own mind, and approved of the principles of the Bill—could nut be disgraced by giving to those principles a pledge of decided support.—(Cheers.) But here I would a-k, were no pledges taken by the opposers of the Bill? Did none of the illustrious patrons of the boroughs in ShchedMe A and Schedule B insist upon pledges, or, what is tantamount to them, a distinct understanding with their nominees ?—(Loud cheers.) But, Gentlemen, what was the pledge that 1 gave ? Did I ever respond to what is called the Cuckoo-cry of the Bill, the whole Bill, oid nothing but the Bill?—(A slight tumult took place 'n the crowd, and a voice cried, " You did, Vernon," while many others shouted, " You were right.") Mr. Vernon continued—" No, Sir, I did not. No, the pledge that I gave was this,—" That I would support his Majesty's Ministers in their measures of Reform as long as those measures should be consistent with the principles of the Bill. Therefore, Gentlemen, the pledge that I gave was not an answer to the Cuckoo-cry, still lees was it, as some of my adversaries had said, the pitiful pledge of sticking to the Ministers," whether they were wright or wrong. No ;my pledge was to stand by them while they adhered to the principles of the Bill. But lam told "if you thought Lord Chandos's proposition was a good one, no paltry pledge should have stool in the way of your supporting it. What! are pledges of so little value in Tury estimation ? May solemn promises be so easily violated? Is the Conservative code of political morality so easy of accommodation that the fulfilment of an obligation becomes a matter of expediency ?-- (Curers.) But, Gentlemen, let us examine what were the principles of the Bill. Disfranchisement, enfran chisement, and extension of the suffrage. The principle which the framers of the Bill bad laid down for the ex tension of the suffrage was this—That they would give the right of voting to those, and to those only, whether by their property or by any other qualification, who could be considered in the light of independent men. Now, Gentlemen, I contend that it would he quite sufficient for my justification to show that danger was to be appre hended to the Bill from the success of Lord Chandos's motion. For then, surely, by every promise that I had made,—by every pledge that I had given,—by every engagement I had entered into,—l was bound to support the Ministers, however much I might have differed from them in their view of this particular motion. That such was the conviction in the minds of his Majesty's Ministers, I have not the slightest doubt; indeed, I have reason to know, that the Auti-Reformers looked forward to this measure with the greatest confidence, as the means of defeating the Ball. It was likely to do so in the House of Commons, because it was perfectly obvious that when Reformers of such various shades had combined in the support of a great measure like this, any considerable al teration in it,—any alteration, in fact, of principle,—might create dissensions amongst them, and ultimately detest it altogether. In the other House of Parliament danger was also to be apprehended ; for, in the minds of trwst thinking persons, if this measure succeeded, voting by ballot would be the necessary consequence. Now many of my constituents, who approved of the Bill, would not have approved of the ballot, and I myself, although I confess that I was no admirer of that mode of voting, yet, as soon as this measure had passed, could not help looking upon it with a very different eye.—(A voice from the crowd, " What do you think of it now? Will you have the ballot?" Mr. Vernon, in reply to this gustier), said, " Sir, We'll talk of that by and by.") Gentlemen, I contend that in either of these views of the case, either with regard to the pledges I had given, or the danger ap prehended by his Majesty's Ministers, I could not be justly blamed for voting in the way that I did. But, Gentle men, lam accused of sneaking conduct. It is said, " Al though you disapproved of the measure, i❑ your heart you sheltered yourself under the specious pretext of pledges." Gentlemen, perhaps I have been pill of sneaking con duct; for, be it known to you, that I did disapprove of the measure. I did vote according to my conscience.— (Applause.) I am aware that, in making this avowal, I am descending from the vantage ground ; that I am re linquishing that strong position in which I considered myself perfectly impregnable. Let gentlemen on the other side make what use they can of my confession. Gentlemen, if you will allow me, I will tell you why 1 disapproved of Lord Chaiidos's proposition. The chief prin ciple for the extension of the suffrage was, as I have told you before, " Independence." N.iw, were the fit ty pound tenants at will independent ?—(No, no.) Gentlemen, I fear that I must answer " No." But I think I hear somebody say, " Why, do you mean to say that the fifty. pound tenant at will is not as good, or as independent, as the ten•pound householder ?" The fifty-pound tenant at will ma y, for aught I know, he better, may he more may be quite as w e ll qual ifi ed, in otherrespect, risii intelligent,ect,toexercise the franchise, as the ten-pound house holder, but that he is as independent I do most confi dently deny. If the ten-pound householder, on account of his vote, is ejected flout his hou , e, what does he do ? He packs up his goods and chattels in a basket, he puts his capital on his back, and goes off to the next street, where he may be as well, if not better lodged than he was before...a(Cheers.) But it it so ttrith the fifty-pound te nant at will ? I4e bas laid out laige sums in the purchase of stock, of implements of hnsbandry, and probably em barked much capital in draining, buildings, and Other im provetnents on his farm ; for whiCh he cannot obtain a return for several years. If he is threatened by his land lord, he has no alternative bin the misery of voting against his conscientt, or utter ruin. —(Cheers.) But, Genth:. men, even supposing I were wrOng . in this particular vote, am I an enemy to the farmeica ? By no means. Here is another misrepresentation. ,at the very time when Lord Chandon lirringht forward his motion for giving the right of voting to the fifty-pound tenants at will, the franchise was already actually given by a provision of the Reform Bill to the seven years leaseholders. Therefore, taking the view of the case the most unfavourable to me, I could only, to say the worst of it, be accused of voting against a particular description of farmer—hot against the farmers in general. Again, thost who tak me with Voting against Lord Chandos's proposition take special care not to mention that I voted for it in the ensuing session, when embodied in the new Bill. If I am to have the odium of the one, let me have the credit of the other. Gentlemen, it is false to assert that I am an enemy to the farmers ; I wished, according to the principles of the Bill, to form an inde pendent constituency. t could have no enmity against the fifty-pound tenants at will, but I did not think that they could exercise the franchise independently. It vexes me to the soul to see an honest English yeoman dragged through the mire, subjected to the degradation of voting against his conscience, at the beck of his landlord. It is a foul blot, and an ignominious stain in our representative syetern.—(llear, hear.) Far better would it be to give the franchise to the landlord at once, than to hold out this mockery of freedom to the tenant. Perhaps some will say, "Oh l the tenant only has the franchise in tight of the property which belongs to his landlord—the proprietor it is who should be represented." Gentlemen, it is said that I am an enemy to the agricultural interest ; what if I am a large landlord ? Why, by virtue of Lord Chandos's motion, I may compel my tenants to vote against their own consciences—against their own interests—the agri cultural interest !—(Hear, hear.) There is another charge, so ludicrous, that had it not been repeated so often I really could not have thought it worthy of serious no tice--scarcely indeed of any notice at all. I am accused of having voted in a disgraceful minority with Mr. Hunt, the blacking-maker.—(Laughter.) That vote was given on principle, but no one has objected to the vote itself ; they only find fault with my having voted with Mr. Hunt the blacking-maker. Now, Gentlemen, if a motion be substantially good, lam not very particular in inquiring who is the author of it. If I mistake not, the Conserva tives were not apt to be snore p articular. It has been my fortune to sit opposite to them for many a long night in the House of Commons, and there have I seen Mr. Hunt, the blacking-maker, sitting cheek-by-jowl with Sir Chas. Wetherell, Sir Robert P, el, and even the Most Noble Mar quis of Chandos.—(Great laughter.) Therefore, Gentle men, in voting with Mr. Hunt, the blacking-maker, I considered that I was following a very good conservative example. The next charge is one of a very different nature; I am accused of being led by the nose ; of having no opinion of my own; of being the mere tool and instru ment in the bands of a party. The only answer that I shall condescend to give to that charge is this— " If I am traduced by tongues, which neither know My faculties nor person—yet will be The chronicles of my doing—let me say 'Tis but the fate of place, and the rough brake That virtue must go through."—(Tremendous cheering.; Gentlemen, I have thus endeavoured to refute, riot, 1 trust, unsatisfactorily, these, what I must term, contemp tible accusations. So much for the past; now for my views of the future. Whenever I have appeared among my constituents either in public or private, [ have never neglected any opportunity of inviting them to inquire into my political opinions. I have lately put forth a more ample exposition of those opinions in an address, a copy of which has, I believe, been placed in the hands of every elector. I have the happiness of knowing that that ex position has been satisfactory to my friends. They there fore will not desire that I should say anything more upon the present occasion. I am sure that the gentlemen on the other side cannot consistently with their professions expect that I should enter more into detail; for were they to do so, they would be asking me to do that which they themselves so loudly condemn, the pledging myself to support particular measures before those measures have been fully discussed.—(Cheers.) On this account there tore, and thinking that you will be impati , nt to hear the sentiments of other gentlemen, I shall not occupy your time any further ; but lest any one should still entertain I any misapprehension as to my principles,l will sum them up in the words of an able writer—tbat I am for those mea sures which will produce " the greatest good to the greatest number, for the greatest length of time." Mr. VERNON concluded his speech amidst cheers from every part of the ball. Sir ROGER GREISLEY, Burt., in addressing time elec tors, observed that among other nick-names, they had be stowed upon him that of Tory. Upon his honour, he sincerely wished that the word Tory was entirely ex punged from the political vocabulary. He knew and ac knowledged nothing of divine right and passive obedience ; he was not unconscious of the numerous abuses that cried out aloud, and would have redress. But he stood with those who stoutly maintained their attachment to monar chy, without which, liberty would be immolated on the altar of anarchy—he stood in opinion with those who insisted that the many must he governed by the few— and standing upon these coostitutional grounds, he might contend for the representation of the county, even with the stoutest disciples of Windham or Fox. lie was a friend to economy and retrenchment. With respect to our commercial system he was certainly no friend to what was called free trade. Free trade was a mere name. It enables the le reign grower to overwhelm our mat kets with raw material, and the articles of manu facture without any increased demand for the prcducc of our own labour. Nothing could restore our commercial prosperity, but our ancient, wise, prohibitory duties on foreign imports and a retur❑ to paper currency. Lord 'VVATERPA 11. K rose amid the cheers of the electors. A great deal had been said respecting Ministers having done nothing to relieve the people. No,v, the Duke of Wellington's Government said they had carried reduction as far as they could with safety to the State, and Earl Grey's administration had since reduced the burdens of the country 2,loo,ooo.—(Great applause.) Had the Duke remained in office we should have had no other relief than what he had carried into effect—the 2,100,0001. would not have been saved. It was said the Whig Ministry had done nothing—but they had taken the tax off coals, printed cottons, and candles. Was this nothing ?—(Loud cheers.) When the present Ministers introduced their first budget it was the ridicule of the House—the Tories prophe'ied the country would soo❑ be iu a miserable state; but they were false prophets, as there was now half a million surplus revenue, instead of ruined finances, a proof that they knew snore tha❑ their predecessors. They had been told of our enormous debt of eight hundred millions, but who was it that created that debt?—(immense applause.) Was it a Whig Go vernment? He wished to give all the merit due to the Wellington Administration ; the Duke did make great reductions, and therefore greater praise is due to the Whigs, who made great reductions atter the other had declared no more could be made safely; and they did not begin with the clerks, as their predecessors 'raid done, but reduced their own salaries first.—(Cheering.) Respecting the Church—(Cheers) —the Bishops them selves thought Reform necessary, and lie was glad to ob serve from Col. Grey's speech that it was the intention of Government to carry it into effect. Than tithes nothing was snore oppressive; they almost prevented the employ ment of capital in the improvement of farms. H e con sidered the corn laws injurious to the small farmers, as prices were often greatly reduced by the admission of foreign corn at a low duty, and the small farmer being unable to hold his corn, was forced into the market at a low price to make good bispayments. The Hausa SHERIFF then took the show of hands. For Mr. Vernon a forest of hands were raisJi up. Sir Roger Greisley's supporters were comparatively few. Lord NVaterpark's friends were as numerous as Mr. Vernon's. The Sheriff declared the show of hands was in favour of Mr. Vernon and Lord Waterpark. Mr. Gell then de manded a poll fur Sir Roger Greisley. LEITH. (Abridged from the Edinburgh Weekly Journal, Dec.l9. R ETURN OU J. A. MURRAY, ESQ. Tuesdayfor tlie being L appointed for the nomination of th e can didates eith district of burghs , an unusual sensa tion prevailed in the town from an early hour ; indeed, we scarcely think that Leith has witnessed such a scene of bustle and excitement since the landing of his late. Ma jesty. Mr. Murray was met half way betwixt Leith and Edinburgh by a procession of the trades, with bands of music, and the same splendid banners and insignia which were used at the Jubilee, when he was presented by them with a congratulatory address, and they afterwards escorted hint to the hustings, erected in front of the Ex change Buildings. A party of fishermen in the interest of Mr. Aitchison, with Captain Boswell, of Wardie, at their head, took their station on one side of the hustings. The whole space in front of the hustings, and a considerable distance on each side, presented nothing but a dense mul - tittule, and a Sea of eager and excited countenances. Mr. Murray appeared first on the hustings, and was received with tremendous cheering. Mr. Aitchison shortly after appeared, and Was received With loud hisses and other mai-kis of disapprobation, mingled with a few partial cheers. Mr. ADAM WHITE, after passing a high eitiogiuth on Mr. J. A. Murray, proposed him as a fit person to repre sent them in Parliament, which was received by the mul titude with deafening cheers. Mr. GABRIEL WILSON, of Musselburgh, seconded the nomination. Mr. JAMES DUNCAN, Master of the Merchant Corn pany, nominated Mr. Aitchison.—(Great uproar and clamour.) Mr. GEORGE BELL seconded the nomination. Mr. J. A. Munakr then came forward amidst great acclamations, and addressed the multitude assembled as follows :—My friends and countrymen, Electors of Leith— When I came forward, I went at large into all the great and important questions which were likely to come before the country, and I explained my sentiments with regard to them. 1 have nothing to detract, nothing to add, for what I said then, I will say now, and you know well that these opinions are in accordance with those of the great majority of yourselves.—(Cries of " Yes, yes.") Al though lam not a mercantile man, yet I am brought for ward by the great body of the mercantile men of Leith-- (Cheers, and some disapprobation)—by men of charac ter, integrity, worth, and principle. I say the same as to my supporters in North Leith, Newhaven, Portobello, and Musselburgh—l consider you ill as one. It never en tered into my imagination to propose myself—l solicited no person—l bad no desire to enter Parliament. If I had not come forward at the desire of the citizens of , Leith, I would have had no claim—it would have been presumptuous to have thought of it without your favoura ble decision, and it is upon that ground alone that I staod.—(Cheers.) Mr. ArrcnisoN, on presenting himself, was met with much disapprobation. He spoke as follows :—I have come to the resolution, in accordance with the opinion of my committee, not to proceed farther in the contest, and to decline going to a poll.—(Great cheering.) In doing so, I have considered that it would be most agreeable to the wishes and feelings of the constituency, to be spared the trouble and excitement consequent to a contested elec tion —(Cheers.) The SHERIFF—I declare John Archibald Murray, Esq. to be the representative in Parliament for Leith, Porto bello, and Musselburgb.—(Loud and reiterated cheers, and waving of hats and handkerchiefs, by all around the hustings, as well from the ladies who occupied the adja cent windows.) Mr. Murray was then cordially congra tulated by his friends, as well as by one or two of his oppo nents. There were then loud cries for the ceremony of chairing the Member, and a chair was accordingly pioeured, an 4 being decorated with laurel, was placed on a platform supported by several strong porters. When the procession arrived at Mr. Murray's house, in George-street, Mr. Jeffrey and Mr. Cockburn were conspicuous ; the former at one of Mr. Murray's windows, and the latter in that of the adjoining residence. The LORD ADVOCATE, on being called for, then came forward.—Gentlamen, I am a mere spectator of this the triumph of one of my oldest and dearest friends. It is the first triumph in Scot!and, and I hope will be the splendid hit binger—the first splendid introduction to a series of triumph.—(Cheers.) My own election will soon be suc cessfully decided—(Loud cheers)—and although I am afraid that our means may not be able to furnish forth so splendid—so animating a spectacle,—such a beautiful exhibition of honourable and decorous zeal,—yet I trust it will be attended with the same exemplary quietness, and dignified expression of joy. Three cheers were given for Mr. Abercromby, and the procession returned to Leith. NORTHUMBERLAND—(S UTH). (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) NEWCASTLE, HALF• PAST EIGHT O'CLOCK, THURSDAY NIGHT, DEC. 20. The polling commenced this day in the important con test for the representation of the South Division of North umberland. The fate of the election is considered to be decided—decided in favour of the Liberal and Reform can• didates, Alessrs. Beaumont and Ord. At Newcastle it was known that Mr. Bell, the Tory candidate, would have a considerable majority—it was regarded as his s•ronghold—it was thought he must here be 500 a-head of his opponents, or his chance of the election was gone. He is at this place only 342 in advance of the last of the liberal candidates, I mean Mr. Ord, between whom and Mr. Bell, in fact, the contest is, Mr. Beaumont being con sidered quite safe. The following is the state of the poll ing as far as it is known : At Newcaqle, at the close of the poll at four o'clock, Thursday, Dec. 20— Mr. Bell ll5l Mr. Beaumont Mr. Ord BO9 At Hexham, at the close of the poll this day, the num bers wer . e Mr. Beaumont Mr. Ord BOB Mr. Bell 422 At Haltwhistle, up to one o'clock, as follows— Mr. Ord 230 Mr. Beaumont Mr. Bell 167 The state of the poll at 'Bellingham and Stamfordham is not yet known. The numbers on the gross poll, as far as we have received it, are— Mr. Beaumont Mr. Ord 1867 Mr. Bell Thus leaving the Conservative candidate 127 behind the last of the Reformers. WESTMORELAND. On Saturday last the nomination of candidates for the representation of this county in Parliament took place at Appleby. About 11 o'clock John Barham, Esq., the Reform candidate, and a numerous trria of electors, pre ceded by a band of music and blue flags, went in proces sion from Appleby Castle to the Shire Hall, where Col. Lowther and his partisans had already assembled. The Sheriff having called upon the electors to nominate their candidates, JOHN HILL, of Bank Foot, Esq., proposed Colonel Lowther as a fit and proper person to represent them i❑ Parliament. MATTHEW' ATKINSON, Esq., seconded Col. Lowther. \VILMA:A VBERGH, Esq., proposed John Barham, Esq. EDWARD WAKEIIELD, Esq. of Kendal, seconded the nomination. Mr. W. C. WILSON, Esq., proposed Lord Lowther. E. W. HASELL, Esq., of Daletnain, seconded the no mination. Colonel LOWTHER then addressed the electors. Since he last met them, they had got the Reform Bill—what benefit had they got from it ? Were they better clothed, better fed, or had they more money in their pockets in consequence of this glorious measure ? He saw them just the sime, and dared to say they were in the same condition. Ministers protuised great things, and what bad they done ? As his family was accused of mono polizing the representation of the county, he would say that his brother• would not have been put forward, if any resident gentleman had been a candidate. Had Mr. Wilson, of Dallam Tower, come forward, there would have been no contest. He had no objection to Mr. Bar ham, whom he had known many years, but no resi dent gentleman had been brought forward, and this brought on the contest. (Colonel L. made a very odd rambling speech, difficult to follow, and quite unconnected —in fact, halt the time he was answering remarks made )—Speaking oh Lord God e rich, he called b h y lin th G e ::;°l;v(tiwo-Shoes. Col. Lowther then read a letter which be bad received that morning, signed by Isaac Wilson and David Jones. The object of the letter was to ascertain if the colonel would support such measures as Govrrnment might bring forward to effect the immediate abolition of slavery, when the colonel exclaimed, " When have 1 not done so," and proceeded to make further re matl.s on the subject, of a general nature. Mr. BAKIIAM had no hostile feeling against Lord Low ther or his family—to the Gallant Colonel, now present, he would go further and say, that he should be sorry if this contest, or any subsequent one, should sever their acquaintance, now of some years' standing ; but he for one, would never consent that this county should be repre sented by one family.—(Loud cheers). He thought it un constitutional and contrary to the Reform Bill, now be come the law of the land. He also thought that one party should not domineer over the other in the county.—(Cheers) The Reform in the House of Commons had been effected. Next come come the Church and other salutary reforms. He pretended not to know exactly what were the views of his Majesty's Ministers, but he hoped their Church Reform would be as efficient as the Bill lately passed.— (Cheers.) He hoped it would abolish pluralities and en force residence —he hoped it would equalize Church livings —that we should no longer hear of poor hardworking curates with incomes not much larger than day -labourers —nor of the purse proud pluralists without any duty to perform. He hoped Dissenters would be eased of the in tolerable hardship of paying duties and rates to aCburch of which they did not approve. As to tithes, we must have, and that immediately, a commutation satisfactory to the people of this country. Tithes in kind should be abolished, and a moderate rent charge laid on the land according to its quality and circumstances. Ne gro slavery was a question interesting to every one, and he expressed his fervent hope that a speedy, safe, and satis factoo emancipation Might t ,ke place. In 1806 the Whigs abolished the slave trade ; in 1833 he had no doubt the grand work of slave emancipation would be laid. He would now speak of the corn laws. Now what the Whigs say is this—" Let us have a fixed duty on corn instead of a variable one." This will benefit the consumer and the farmer, and will hurt no one but the gambling speculator. He meant this not in any offensive light, but the trade in corn must of necessity be a gambling speculation from its uncertainty. Throughout the delivery of all the speechesiup to this stage of the proceeding, the best order prevailed ; but no sooner did the Rev. Mr. Adamthwaite present himself to the assembled multitude, than he was assailed with a burst of groans, hootings, and hisses, unprecedented at all former elections here, except upon his making a similar attetnpt in 1826. One and all, it would seem, had deter mines not to hear him—his bellowing and frantic gesti culation were all in vain, and, yielding to the entreaties of his friends near him, he retired. All was instantly peace and good order, and the Sheriff proceeded to call for a show of hands, when not fewer than ten to one having been held up in favour of Mr. Barham, the Sheriff de clared the choice to have fallen upon that gentleman and Colonel Lowther. Mr. Hassell, on behalf of Lord Low ther, demanded a !poll, and the Court was therefore ad journed until nine o'clock on Tuesday morning. TIIE POLLING. On Tuesday morning the towns of Kendal, Appleby, Amblesile, Shap, Kirkby Stephen, and Kirkby Lonsdale, were completely thronged s% ith electors, anxious to vote for the respective candidates. Commodious booths had been erected for that purpose, and, with the exception of a slight skirmish at one, which ended in the booth being closed for the remainder of the day, there was little ob struction to the voters either on Tuesday or Wednesday. To give the public a better idea of the affair, it is ne cessary that we should state that if the Lowthers depended solely en the feelings of the bona fide electors of the county, their chance of success would be as remote as that of Lord Lowther's ever being a Statesman, or Colonel Lowther's becoming an orator. But to remedy this grievance, the Lowthers have had recourse to the manu acturing of mushrooms, or, in other words, a species of voters totally under their control, viz., their coachmen, butlers, servants, and all the time-serving c rew of toadies that hanker after the flesh-pots of Lowther-hall. It is not to be wondered at, therefore, that the appear ance of these generally gives rise to some strong feeling of resentment ; and when we state that one of the Bradley- Feild brood made his appearance so early as 9 o'clock in the morning, the clamour of a hundred tongues may easily be accounted for. The noise or disturbance, however, was not such as to justify the Sheriff's deputy c'osing the poll ; but be being a strong partisan, and knowing that little good could be done in his booth for the benefit of his party-...immediately closed the booth for the day; and without consulting any one but himself, carried off the poll-books, and left an enraged multitude to wreak their vengeance on whatever lay in their way. The con sequence was what might have been anticipated. The yel low-flags were immediately made the object of attack ; and the King's Arms Inn was literally in a state of siege for half an hour. From thence, the crowd proceeded to other houses obnoxious to them on account of their yellow prin eiples ; and the result was, that before quietness was again restored, the Ring of Bells Inn, was completely gutted ; the windows of the White Horse Inn broken; several panes of glass in the Commercial Inn destroyed, and other acts of outrage committed. About 10 o'clock, the town was in a state of tranquillity. The gross poll for the whole county stands thus : Lord Lowther 1523 Col. Lowther 1514 Mr. Barham 8122 WEDNESDAY. This morning the booth which had been closed on the first day was to have opened for the purpose of allowink those voters who could not poll yesterday to register their votes—but, as there were but few, the friends of the can didates came to the resolution not to keep the booth open any longer. The contest therefore terminated in favour of the two Lowthers by a majority of 341. The total number of voters registered for the county of Westmoreland is 4,400-sof those upwards of SOO are non reddents, the chief pat of which have been made solely for electioneering purposes. EAST SURREY. Yesterday was the day appointed for the declaration of the numbers and the return of the Members. About half.past hi o'clock the High Sheriff arrived from Kingston, and iin mediately proceeded to the Town Hall,w•hich had been crowded for some time previously. The SHERIFF declared the numbers on the poll-books to be : Briscoe 1,667 Beauclerk 1,163 Allen Lainson The two first gentlemen were then, amidst loud cheering, declared duly elected, and the usual ceremony of girding with the sword, &c., was then gone through. Mr. BRISCOE then came forward to return thanks.—Gentle. men, my election, as is right and fitting, has been wholly gained by you—it is you, not I, who have obtained the victory —and to you, and not to the humble individual before you, be all the honour and the praise attached to my return. On me is imposed an additional weight of responsibility, I as sured you on the day of my nomination, that I asked not your suffrages from any idle ambition of distinction, nor from any personal interest or party object—but from a sincere desire to serve you, and that I might employ that measure of ability, of fortune, and of health, together with those advantages of education and opportunities of experience which it has pleased God to bestow upon me, seeking to do his will in promoting the cause of truth and freedom, and contributing all I can to advance the prosperity of my country, and the happiness of my countrymen.—(Great applause) I will not now trespass on your indulgence by any lengthened detail of the mode and manner in which this can be best effected. I would rather say, that one simple, universal rule of moral equity will, I trust, be the main spring—the ruling principle of my whole conduct--aud it is that of doing as I would be done by.— (Great cheering) Major BEAUCLERK next addressed the electors, by whom he was received with a shout of applause. I know not how to thank you for the kind, the warm-hearted, the noble, gene rous, and independent feelings whichyou have exhibited towards me.--(Hear, hear.) When I first came forward I was told t t i h n a l t e s u s I c I l a t o ii o il k ed o m n e y s o o f f t t h h e e tw hu o m fa b e l t e io s n e s rv b a y n t t h o e f hand — t h a t two parties, I had no chance of success. I declared that I would bind myself to neither—that I would throw myself en. tirely upon the independent feelings of the county—that I would claim the support of the electors on principle, and prin. ciple alone; and I ask you have I done wrong 2—(Tremendous applause.) Did I mistake the men of Surrey ?—(" No, no." Did I not do' them full justice—(" You did")--and am I not amply rewarded ?—(Cheers.) I believed that the Reform Bill would be useless, unless its principles were applied to the vari. ous institutions of the country where abuses existed—(Hear, hear)—and I could never for one moment contemplate the pos. sibility of the men of Surrey returning to their House a mere representative of the Treasury Benches instead of one who would be their representative—the representative of their own opinions, feelings, and interests.—(Great applause.) Mr. ALLEN presented himself, amidst groans, interrupted with " Hear, hear !—Fair play !" from Major Beauclerk's friends.) He said that he bowed to the decision of the elec tors, and begged to say in conclusion, that the recollection of his defeat would soon pass away, but the kind support of hip friends he should never forget.—(Cheers.) Mr. BRISCOE then moved a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff which was seconded by Major Beauclerk, and carried unanimously. After the dissolution of the Court, the ceremony of chair ing took place. In the afternoon a public dinner of the friends of Major Beauclerk took place at the Greyhound, at which Mr. Briscoe attended. BERKSHIRE.-ABINGDOti, DEC. 21 . You are acquainted, of course, with the result of the Berk shire election ; but you may not yet have heard of all the ob stacles which were flung in the way of the popular candidates, and particularly of Mr. Walter, whose return to Parliament may be designated as the triumph of the middle classes of Berkshire over its aristocracy. In the short time which has elapsed since the conclusion of the poll, I have not been able to collect an accurate account of all the endless variety of menaces and manoeuvres employed by the Tories to secure the election of their favourite, Mr. Pusey; suffice it to say that every engine which the power of the landlord, the craftiness of the lawyer, and the selfish but short-sighted interest of the clergy could bring into play in every town, village, and hamlet throughout the county, was used, and unsparingly used, to accomplish that object. All, however, have been tried in vain. The majority of Mr. Walter over Mr. Pusey would have been much greater than it appears at present on the poll, had not the friends of Mr. Pusey resorted to the most unjustifiable trickery to swell his numbers. At an early hour this morning the people came rushing in from various parts of the county to celebrate the triumph which they had so nobly achieved. The crowd assembled in front of the hustings could not have been less than between 10,000 and 12,000 persons. The joking which usually takes place at elections was not forgotten here, but we can afford room for only one specimen. Several persons in the crowd occasionally called out " Pussy-cat" to Mr. Pusey; upon which that gentleman good humouredly said, " If I am a cat, you cannot deny that I came up to the ,cratch." This sally pleased the mob, and called forth A cheer. About 12 o'clock the HIGH SHERIFF declared that Messrs• Palmer, Throckmorton, and Walter were duly eleeted to serve as Knights of the Shire in Parliament—(Enthusiastic cheers.) Mr. PALMER felt exceedingly grateful for the high distinc tion conferred on him, and he would endeavour always to de serve it. Mr. Marsh had stated that the last election at which the party opposed to him was defeated, was lost for want of funds and management, and that he looked forward to the pre sent election as one which would exhibit the triumph of the principle of Reform. The trial had now been made, and he who first came torward aS the representative of the agricultural interest was placed at the head of the poll. He therefore had A right to say, and he did so with prOnd satisfaction, that he represented the opinions of the majority of tit!!+ electdrs nfOefk'. shire.—(Applause, and " No.") He had always erithed liament a free and independent man, unpledged and unbiiiiecte He had never been a party man, but would always support measures for the benefit of the country, let them be introduced by whomsoever they might.—( Applause.) Mr. TRROCKMORTON would enter the House of Commons as free and independent as any man. He was neither the slave of prejudice, nor the victim of theory; but he woujd support change whenever he thought that it would be beneficial. Mr. WALTER begged the electors not to think that he meant now to shrink from the promises he made—from the unsolicited and unprescribed pledges which he had given—the duties which he had taken upon himself.—(Cheers.) No; whatso ever in his several addresses he had said, that he would do; with respect to tithes, assessed taxes; utalt ditties, church re form, and all the other important duestiOns Which lntbrestl l . this mighty nation, he now must do, and to the beSt Of his abi lities he would do ; or he must be content td td felt their favour, and to relinquish for ever that approbation the Os.!*l sion of which now thrilled through his frame, and which he nia already, though feebly, attempted to describe.—(Cheers.) He had come into the field with distinct promises from more than 3,000 electors. Of those, he was compelled to say, some hundreds had been, by unprincipled instigators, seduced int ° the foul treachery of violating their solemn pledges.—(Cheers) The districts in which this treachery had been most con spicuous were those of Wantage and Abingdon. They (the electors) might, however, congratulate each other that the success of this treachery had been eventually such as it deserved.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. PUSEY said, when a candidate had lost his eleetinni there was another thing which he should be particularly cafe; ful not to lose, and that was his temper.—(Cheers and laughter.) It had been his endeavour to preserve his tempet before the result of the election was known, and it should be so now. He must be allowed to observe, that he could no t look upon the result of the election as a defeat ; but if it Wer e a defeat, he thought that the most strenuous of his opponent'', would admit that it was an honourable one. 2,400 electors co Berkshire had recorded their votes in his behalf.—(" Hod were they brought up to the poll ?" and some uproar.) 11 ` had been defeated by a majority of only 39. With respect what had. fallen from his successful opponent (Mr. Walter) a' to the means employed to alter the intention of voters betwe en the day of nomination and that of the election, it appeared t° him that the present moment was net precisely the best time in which that question could be discussed. He had no dou bt ' however, that if it should be fairly sifted hereafter, his friend would come out of it as pure and honest as his opponents. Three cheers were then given for Mr. Marsh, and th e Members were chaired round the town in the usual naapne. 4 the people rending the air with their acclamations, particula rl in favour of Mr. Throckmorton and Mr. Walter. Thus con' eluded the triumph of Reform in Berkshire. 'VEST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE. The election for the West Riding of this county, which ha! the largest constituency of any in the kingdom, took place 31 ; .1 1 Wakefield on Thursday, and issued in the undisputed return °l ' ,I Lord Morpeth and George Strickland, Esq., two stanch iftc' Atl formers, and formerly Members for the whole county. Spacious hustings were erected on the east side of the Court- let house, where there is a large open space, in front of which se" 4\ti veral thousand persons had assembled. About half-past tell o'clock the High Slieritf, accompanied by the Chief Constable, "4 6 arrived in his carriage, and very soon after the candidates fo l ' lowed. Lord Morpeth took the right of the High Sheriff, an d Itr Mr. Strickland the left, on the hustings. Sir FRANCIS LINLEY WOOD proposed, and Mr. JOHN NUSSS I seconded, the nomination of Lord Morpeth. 446 Mr. GEORGE RAWSON proposed, and Mr. FAWKES SCCOIIdVir tt, the nomination of Mr. Strickland. iv Lord MORPETH reminded the people that whatever might be t i done for them would be little in comparison to what can be do ne by them. I mean not to say (said his Lordship) that Ido nn t see many circumstances of difficulty, hard struggles to be mad e, t dark periods of distress to be wrestled with ; I mean not to 50 ; that in the political horizon I do not discern the risk of confu sion and trouble, if extremes conic into collision and moderate :ta men are thrust aside; but on the whole, I feel emboldened to • h e; look forward with confidence, and under the blessing of God , )at I will neither despair of the good sense of my countrymen let nor of the high destinies of my country.—(Cheers.) ) 111 GEORGE STRICKLAND, Esq., stated at length his opinion on he monopolies, Church Reform, and other important questions, in terms which called forth the general applause of the electors. No other candidate being proposed, The indenture of return was read, after which Lord Mott- ,hl PETH and Mr. STRICKLAND returned thanks. The Hum SHERIFF declared the Court dissolved, and the ki chairing of the candidates immediately took place. (hat ELECTION OF COMMON COUNCILMEN• Yesterday the annual elections of Common Councilmen and city officers commenced in the different wards. In several much discussion took place on t pics of local lo" terest, and in some the questions of the right of the Court of Aldermen to exclude strangers from witnessing its pro ceedings, and of the members of that Court to retain office for life, were agitated ; but at present, when the great Parliamentary elections engage so much of the public at tention, we have no space left for these civic debates; we can only spare room for the returns, and the state of the polls, in cases in which there may be contests. The following wards returned the old members without opposition, viz. :—Cripplegate Without ; Coleman-street!
