GENERA I ELECTIONS.\ (THIS DAY.) SOUTHWARK. Pursuant to the public notice of the High Bailiff, the electors of this borough assembled at the Town hall at nine o'clock, to nominate the candidates for the representa tion of the borough in Parliament. The number of per sons before and upon the hustings could not have been less than 2,000. The candidates able to attend ascended the hustings with the High Sheriff at a quarter past nine o'clock. The writ and bribery oaths having been read, and all other forms duly gone through, Mr. W. DAvis came forward to nominate Mr. NV. Brougham. He regretted to inform the electors that Mr. Brougham was so seriously ill as to be unable to be present this day. He was with the Hon. Candidate last night, and was certain then that such would be the case.—(Hear.) Mr. Jacxsosr then came forward and read a letter from Mr. Brougham, making his apologies to the electors, and another from Sir Henry Halford to Mr. Brougham abso lutely prohibiting the latter gentleman, on peril of his life, from stirring from his chamber to-day. Mr. W. Davis said that he trusted that the documents which had just been read, would prove a sufficient excuse for Mr. Brougham's non-attendance. After paying a tribute to the memory of their late Mem ber Mr. Charles Calvert, Mr. Davis observed, that when they last met on those hustings, the solemn mockery of an election was going on at Garton, Old Sarum, and Bletchingley ; but, thank God, the Reform Bill had done away with all that rubbish. Southwark, then, was the first to stand forward in the cause of Reform, anal she was now first, in every sense. Not only was Southwark the first borough, in point of wealth and importance, in the kingdom, but the first in point of time, for it had three hours good start of most of the metropolitan districts. It was well for this ancient free constituency, thus to set an example to the new and wealthy electoral districts of Lambeth, Finsbury, and Marylebone, anal those hives of industry, Manchester, Birmingham, and Leeds, which nothing but stone-blind ness—but stark-madness, could have so long excluded from the elective franchise. The knowledge of the people, which the Tories could no more stem than they could govern the ebb and the flow of the tides, had thrown opera the franchise to those great towns, and he trusted that that same knowledge would prevent the slight division that had arisen among the friends of Reform, from bein, widened in.() such a breach as to be attended with evil consequences. The Tories took care when they were in power to be always united, for without it they could nor have accomplished their grand object of picking the pockets of the people. Now that the friends of Re form were in power, it became t! em to be a• least equally united, for without union neither could they accomplish their grand obj , et of preventing their pockets being picked in future.—(Cheers.) Let them ha united, liko the bundle of sticks in the fable, and they might safely defy Tories, Conservatives, Conformers, or hoc genus omne. One thing he congratulated himsep upon with respect to Southwark, that at least they aw no orange colours there. For himself, he had (ways been true blue, and scorned the nasty orange. He trusted that the majority of the electors did the like. If so, they could not but approve of William Brougham, Esq., who early and late had attended the Hnu'e of Commons, and voted, in every division or, the Reform Bill, in favour of the people. Mr. Brougham was the friend of civil and religious liberty, and the hater of all tyranny aud oppression. He voted against the Selee , Vestry Bill, for throwing open Coroner's Courts to the public, and for the abolition of capital punishment in case, of forgery. In short, there was no act of hi, life which was not identified with the interests w the country. The speaker then regretted that either b. t; sir own fault or the fault of the tax-gatherer and over. er, the constituency of Southwark, including the Clink Liberty, Rotherithe, and Bermondsey, instead of being nearly eight thousand, was only about four thousand seven hundred. For his own part, however, if it were any consolation to those who had not the franchise, he begged to say, that he loaked upon it in his own hands, as a trust for those who were less for. tunate. The time was fast approaching, when the aristocracy must come nearer to the middle classes, and when the middle clases must become more intimately linked with those whom some called the lower classes, but he called the industrious classes. A reduction of taxation. and of the price of the necessaries of life, was necessary for the welfare of those classes. Two things, therefore. were essentially necessary—the removal of the tax upon food and the commutation of tithes. When those objects were accomplished, and he thought the time of their accom• plishment was not far distant, they might hope for a pound of rump steaks, a quarters loaf, a pot of porteri and change for a shilling..—(Loud cheers.) Indeed he did notate what materials there were for this desirable consummation of their labours; for Tories were so scarce that if a real thorough-faced, back awl hone Tory could be got, he had no doubt that Mr. Cross, of the Zoological Gardens, would bid a good price for him as a curiosity. After a few more general observations, in the course of which Mr. Davis likened the Reform Bill to a ship, the people to a good crew, and the Liberal candidates to deserving officers, now hoping to be promoted, concluled by begging leave to nominate Mr. William Brougham. Mr. LUDLOW briefly seconded the nomination. Mr. SOLOMON Davis rose to nominate Mr. Allen, hut not being at present an elector, was obliged to retire, opal. which Mr. LONGAIORE came forward to propose Mr. Allen, but was received with such a shout of groans and hisses, that it was with difficulty we heard a word he said. W. understood him to Bay, that the fact of Mr. Stlomm; Davis, an old and staunch supporter of their late lamented Member, Mr. Calvert, was a sufficient guarantee that Mr. Allen, whom he now supported, was a Reformer.— (Loud cries of "No, no, no," and groans, with a few cheers.) He himself proposed Mr. Allen, because he was fully convinced that he would zealously advocatt those measures of reform and retrenchment which had now become so necessary for the welfare of the kingdom. 0; this he was certain, that if the promises which had been made to him were kept, Mr. Allen could not fail to suc ceed.—(Hisses and cheers.) Whilst speaking of those promises he might as well state, that a hand-bill had been published by the advocates of the pledge system, calling upon those who had pledged themselves to Mr. Allen to break their pledge.—(Hisses and some cheers.) The man who pro mised and pledged much was more to be suspected than be who promised little. Not dcubting that at this im portant epoch of Parliamentary history, the electors of Southwark would be anxious that their representatives should do them honour, he confidently proposed Mr. Allen. Mr. CHADWICK seconded the nomination, observing rhat Mr. Allen was a Reformer long before he thought of Incoming a candidate for their suffrages. Mr. Ems came forward to put Mr. Sheriff Hum- phery in nomination. They had now got that excellent machine, the Reform Bill, but it was for them to see that superintendents were engaged to work it to the best ad vantage. Their old and tried representative, Mr. Brougham, it was but justice again to return. They must supply the place of Mr. Ca'vert by the next best min presented to their notice, and that man, he hesitated not to say, was Mr. Humphery, whose residence awing them was likely to give him the greatest interest in their welfare. With re spect to the other candidate, he was a placeman under Government, and he should not like to place him in judg. went upon his own sinecure. Mr. ALLEN—It is a lie. lam not a placeman under Government. Mr. Ews—You are. Mr. ALLEN—The place I hold is under the Mister of the Rolls. Mr. ECUs—lt is all the same. Mr. ALLEN —If you choose to advance falsehoods, you ought to be prepared to prove them. While this dispute was goin. , on, Mr. WHITE seconded the nomination of Mr. Ellis, and said that Mr. Humphery, besides being a resident among them, was pledged to advocate the reaUx ation of those great measures from which only benefit to the country could accrue. They should not be satisfied with empty words, but compare the situation, conduct, and character of Mr. Humphery end Mr. Allen. If they did so, they could not but decide in favour of the former. Mr. Allen was no doubt a respectable individual, and they owed him re. spect for the uprightness of Lis decisions as a Magistrate ; but he was a placeman, and he thought they paid sufficient respect to the Lord Chancellor in return ing one placeman in his brother.—(Cries of " Mr. Allen is not a placeman.") They might say he was not, but he was, being one of the six clerks in Chancery; a Court which did not seem so bad a place to those who were in it not as suitors; but he did not approve of it as a nursery for candidates, and hoped therefore that neither Mr. Allen nor Lord Henley might succeed : with respect to the former, he had no hesitation in saying that be was a Conformer, and not a Reformer; fur in the palmy state of Toryism, when did they hear of Mr. Allen op posing abuses on those hustings. Besides, lie was a laws er, and hr did not think they would show their apprecia tion of the benefits conferred upon them by returning two lawyers. Weak people calling themselves moderates spok of nut going too far ; but they could not go too far in , N 5... ; good cause; and he l'turicsqed that Mr. liku 'p\ ety, who had pledged: himself to thee.xtinclion Ofe.alkab es, the 1 vote by ballot (without which liberty ssrs but a name, and the franchise valueless), and the s-verance of the adul terous connexion of Church and State, was entitled to their suffrages.—(Cheers.) They now had an opportunity if securing their liberties, and unless they to , k advantage of it, they deserved to be doubly taxed. Let them, then, return men of character and integrity, upon whose pro mises they could rely.—(Cheers.) Mr. GREENACRE then came forward to nominate Mr. T. L. Murray, as a fit anti proper person to represent the borough in the ensuing Parliament. He knew him to be a man of the most liberal principles ; and so gre it were his ta'ents, that, compared to hint, all the other candidates were but as a farthing rush to the noon-tide splendour of the meridian sun.—(Loud laughter, and cries of " We don't know hint," "We don't want him.") Mr. Murray possessed full knowledge of the wants anti wishes of the middling classes of the c , iminunity, and if the electors of Southwark sent him to Parliament, be would devote him self entirely to their service. Mr. BLACKFORD seconded Mr. Murray's nomination. The HIGH BAILIFF then put the Candidates, seriatim, in the order in which they had been nominated, that the electors might determine, by holding up their hands, who had the majotity of their votes. On the show of hands which took.place, Mr. Sheriff Humphery and Mr. W. Brougham, had evidently the vast majority; and, announce ment to that effect having been made to the assembl, d electora, the most deafening shouts of hearty applause followed, which lasted for several minutes. Mr. Sheriff HUMPHERY then presented himself, and was received with loud and long-continued cheers. He considered it the highest honour, and the greatest pleasure which any honest man could h ive, after a life-time devoted to the advocacy of liberal principles, to be placed as the first man to be returned by the borough of Southwark to the first Reformed Parliament.—(Loud cheers.) The borough of Southwark had determined to send a man who had resided all along among themselves. He was their own man. He hoped, however, he did not need to tell the electors that it was enough to support him by a show of hands, hut also on Monday lay their votes.—(Clicers.) If he went to the House of Commons, he should go there independent and unshackled, having no interest of his own 'o serve, and having at heart only the interests of the people.—(Cheers.) The people were only the body that should be represented in that House, and lie would attach himself to no patty which would not assert and vindicate the people's rights. —(Cheers. )If electors, now invested with the franchise, sent tit the new Parliament, proper Members i they would get all the bent fit which Reform would legi timately confer upon them ; but if Members got in under false colours, in opposition to the wishes of the ueeple, Reform would he a dead letter.—(Cheers.) He would fulfil all his promises, to the very letter, and the .Vectors of Southwark would never have an opportunity to say that be had belied either his previous character, his conscience, or his professions of sincere devotedness to the popular rights. The gentleman then withdrew amidst loud and long continued plaudits. Mr. DAVIS lamented that Mr. William Brougham was unable personally to acknowledge the honour which the electors of Southwark had just COnferred upon him. He hoped, however, that on Wednesday morning he would be able to be present to thank the electors for placing him at the head of the poll. He knew he would never desert the cause of the people, which he had, so successfully and so honourably advo cated—(Cheers)—but if ever he should, he (Mr. D.), his hest friend, would be the first to abandon him.—(Cheers.) lie candidly thanked the electors for the mark of atten tion, which. under the melancholy circumstances of his absence, they had shown to Mr. Brougham.—(Loud -heers.) Mr. ALLEN next presented himself amidst much con t'osion, which prevented him from being heard. Mr. Sheriff HUMPHERY, having interfered, obtained for liiin a hearing. Mr. ALLEN then proceeded to state his political princi des. He had all along been a sincere and ardent Reformer, Ind he would never swerve from advocating liberal principles. As to the assessed taxes, he considered them unfair and ippressive to the poorer classes, while they bore compara ively lightly on the gentry. It the window tax was iholished no disadvantage would accrue to the Exche liter, as a great revenue would be recceivcd from Le greater quantity of exciseable glass which would be used. He was an enemy to the — corn laws as they at ,'resent existed ; and his opinion was that they should be Itered so as to give the greatest possible advantage to the rtizan with the least possible detriment to the agricul turist. The gentleman then went en amidst much ,onfusion and repeated interruption to vindicate himself from the charge of being a placeman. He was no more placeman than Mr. W. Brougham; and he had himself !ssisted the Lord Chancellor in several important branches )1 Reform which had been brought about in his G,urt. ff they thought that the gentleman on whom the show of lands had fallen was worthy of their support, for God's , ake let them return him. He came there determined to lo his duty, if returned. It was only on that ground he came forward. He bad explained his p:inciples, and by , hem he was determined to stand. He would detain hem no longer, but merely request that his friends would hasten early on Monday to the poll. Mr. 'l'. L. MURRAY then came forward amidst much icing. He had come forward that morning to put the lectors of Southwark to the test, to see whether they were really independent or nor ; to show to the world xhether they were to be represented by the Court of Chan cery•, or by honest, independent men. He was anxious o defend the borough from getting into that sink of iniquity; for if it once got into it, there was no hope of its ever getting out. lie threw himself on the people ; and though he was surrounded by the friends of he other candidates, who apparently had come there that :norning to laugh—(Loud hissing)—he came there to stand on public principle, the principles of Radical Reform. He did not come these to tell them his , ipinions, but to give them pledges,—solemn p'edges of what his conduct would he, if sent to the Home of Com mons. He understood that the Master in Chancery had ;ot a head-ache that morning.—(This sentence was received with immense uproar, which lasted for the space nearly 10 minutes.) He would not be put down by clamour. He came there to speak to the people, and +peak to them he would, though he stood there till to morrow morning. When they were tired, then he would tell them his sentiments. The people of England had been taxed till they had become miserable, and if he was n the next House of Commons, he would do all In his power to relieve them of it. If the Mem )ers of the first Reformed Parliament were to be re- turned by clamour, then it would be better that They should again have Old Sarum and Gatton. It would he at the poll that it would be shown whether the pre- Sent feeling against him was real. The Reform Bill had done the borough no good ; it had disfranchised many of the old electors. He trusted, therefore, that those who lad got the franchise for the first time would do their uty. One of the first measures in the new Parliament lust be, an extension of the suffrage; for nothing else would give order and peace to the country. A voice in the crowd cried out, " I say, Murray, where do you come from ?" Mr. MURRAY--Marylebone. The ELECTOR" Then go back and vote for Horne; we don't want you here." Mr. MURRAY then asked, was this the purity and free dom of election; if silence was not kept, be wuuld call upon the people to put the clamour down.—(Loud Disapprobation.) The last candidate who addressed them had said, that some electors bad broken their promises to him, and his language was, that he would mark them.—(Cries of "No, No.") _These were his own words, and if this was the language of their candidate, it would bring shame and disgrace upon them to return him for the borough. He was anxious that the people should have cheap bread, and in order that that might be obtained, he advocated the sweeping away of all tithes and corn laws. He would entirely separate the Church from the State. The speaker continued much in the same strain, repeating all that be had before said at his various district meetings, and concluded amidst im• mense uproar. He was received throughout with great disapprobation. The HIGH BAILIFF then declared that a poll had been demanded on the part of L. B. Allen, E , q., the polling to commence on Monday morning. Mr. Muaitav again presented himself, and resigned his pretensions, amidst great laughter, and criLs of, " That's the best thing you've said yet." A vote of thanks was then passed to the High Bailiff, and the electors separated, with three cheers for the respective candidates. LAMBETH. The place of nomination for the borough of Lambeth hiviog been fixed by the , Returning -officer for Kenning ton-common, a large concours e of the electors asseml.led there soon alter nine o'clock this morning. At about the centre of the Common very spacious hustings were erected, which were at a very early period cro.ded indiscrimi nately with the friends of the several candidates, no pre vious arrangement having been made for admission thereon in any particular order. The instant the an alarm was given th a t th ey h w u e s r t e ing n s ot w o er f e su fi ffi lle c l ient strength to bear the weight of so many persons, and that it was absolutely ne cessary for them to he cleared. Many retired imme diately, others kept their places. At length a gentleman in a Stentorian tone of voice made his appearance on the hustings, and declared that he had been assured by the builder it was riot safe to remain on the hustings in their state, and that it was impossible for him (the builder) to render the hustings secure so long ;is so many persons continued to remain thereon. Few persons however seemed disposed to quit their seats, and the hammering went on with great activity. Long before the candidates appeared their colours were waving in front of the hustings. For Hawes, they wi re blue and buff; for Tennyson, blue; and for Moore, blue. The English . Jack was also hoisted in various pats through. out the crowd. We regret that we are unable to compli ment Mr. Hope the Returning-officer on his civility to the Press. He threw every obstlcle in our way, by endea vouring to displace us from our seats. We hope on the next occasion be will treat the Press with a little more courtesy. This conduct is rather an inauspicious commencement of the principle of Reform as regards electioneering matters. Shortly after 11 o'clock, the Returning-officer, Mr. Hope, read the precept from the S!:eriff, after which he took the usual oath, and lead the Act against bribery. All the candidates arrived on the hustings at an early hour except Mr. Wakefield, who did not arrive until after the Returning-officer had taken the oath, when he ap pe►red, accompanied by a band of music, a number of ban ners (among which was a tricoloured flag), and a large crowd of persons. He was loudly cheered. The inscriptions on his banners were, " Wakefield and Untaxed Knowledge;" " Wakefield, the People's Friend, and the Enemy of S'avery ;" "Wakefield, and the Repeal of the Corn Laws ;" " Walt, field, and the Protector of our Rights ;" " Wake field and the B Before the nomination commenced, the very little ac commodation that the Reporters had, by great exertion, obtained, was taken from them, and they were obliged to perform their duty, hemmed in and jostled by a crowd of ' persons. Mr. PALMER, in proposing the Right lion. C. Tenny son, said that he felt particularly anxious for the honour of the borough of Lambeth that he should be patiently heard. It was not necessary that he should state his principles ; he had lived in the borough 35 years, and they were well known.—(Cheers.) The Right Hon. Candi date he had to propose had fully justified the character he had given him when he first introduced him to the notice of the constituents of Lambeth.—(Cheers.) The line of conduct the Hon. Gentleman had pursued in Parliament, clearly showed that he would beat down a corrupt oli garchy.—(Loud cheers.) The manner in which he exposed the systrin of election in East Retford had immortalized him, for by his means the first wedge of Reform had been driven, and it became the elec tors now to drive it home.—(Loud cheers.) If the Right Hon. Gentleman was elected, he would do all in his power to have a cheap Government. Though he (Mr. P.) was a member of the Church of Englind, he was com pelled to confess that there was a great deal in it that wanted reformation. Mr. Tennyso', he was satisfied, though he would support the right of the Crown, would take care of the interests of the people, and see that they were not trampled on. The lion. Gentleman concluded by proposing the Right Hon. Charles Tennyson as a fit Member in Parliament for the borough of Lambeth. Mr. W. WEsTort, in seconding the nomination, trusted that they would have men who knew what they were about, and who would scour out all the corruptions that previously existed in the House of Commons.—(Loud laughter, and cries of " Soap," and " Hawes fur ever.') Mr. HARDY, surgeon, then stood forward to propose Mr. Hawes, and was received with the most deafening ac clamations, which lasted several minutes, accompanied by cries of " Hawes, Hawes—Wakefield, Wakefield, Wake fi 1(1." When silence hid been in some measure obtained, Mr. Hardy proceeded. He had been au inhabitant of the borough for more than twenty years, and he felt confident that Mr. Hawes was just the candidate the electors would wish to have. The noise here be- came so universal, added to the dreadfully inconvenient place in which the reporters were placed, rendered it utterly impossible to hear a sing!e word further of what the worthy gentleman said. Mr. REDHEAD seconded the motion, but we could not hear one syllable of what was said. Mr. D. RICHARDSON stood forward to propose Mr. Moore. (At this moment the cries of "No lawyer Moore, no Moore," were deafening from all parts.) He would make himself heard, in spite of all the nuisance, noise, and disturbance.—(Cries.of " No Moore, there's enough, the Moore he says the better for u..") Mr. HAWES endeavoured to obtain a hearing for Mr, Richardson. Mr. RICHARDSON said, that if the persons who had been creating the disturbance thought they were doing the cause of Mr. Hawcs a service, they were very much mistaken. He stood before them to propose Mr. Moore as a fit representative for the borough in Parliament.—(Hooting and hissing, and cries of " Off.") Mr. Moore had always supported the rights and liberties of the people, and was determined to put the knife well to work. He was convinced he was a man well deserving the suffrages of the electors of Lambeth.—(Cries of " We don't think so"—" We will have no lawyers"—" Off, off, we have had enough of him.") He trusted the electors would allow him to ex plain something personal to himself.—(Cries of " No, no, we want to hear nothing of you, go and get your fees.") He was much a'rdid that the cause of Mr. Moore had been much injured by the report that had gone abroad, that he (Mr. Richardson) belonged to a political union. He begged to say be did not; but if he had, he should have considered himself honoured, rather than disgraced, as one of the grea•est men in the court. ty—(Mr. Hume) belonged to one. He concluded by proposing Mr. Moore.—(Hisses.) Mr. STAFFORD seconded the nomination. Captain HOLMES proposed Mr. Wakefield. He was an old Reformer; and though he had only known Mr. Wakefield a short time, he felt convineed—(Liughter)— that he was a thorough Reformer, and deserving of the favour of the electors of Lambeth. He trusted that the Borough would send such Members into Parliament as would put an end to that aristocracy which had deprived the ieople of their just and ancient rights, and who would consider the Reform Bill only as a means to an end.—(Loud cheers.) The gallant Captain was here proceeding to decry the conduct that had been pursued by Mr. Hawes's Committee, but the hissing and hooting which resounded from all parts, rendered it im possible to hear a word that was said. Mr. BLAKE was to have seconded the motion, but he was not present.—(Laughter.) Mr. TENNYS , IN came forward amidst the most deafen- ing applause, which lasted for nearly five minutia. On coming forward as the first candidate who had ever offered himself to represent Lambeth in Parliament, he could not refrain from congratulating the electors upon the practical evidence which the present assembly afforded of the glo rious consummation of that rnagnifii ent measure of Re. form, which had conferred on the electors that noble pri vilege which they were now called upon to exercise. As one of those who h is friend Mr. Palmer had stated had laboured in cawe of Reform, both in and out of Parliament, and long before Reform was so fashionable, he offered himself before the electors..—(Cheers ) Unless he believed his political principles harmonised with those of the electors of Lam beth, he should be one of the last who would ask for the high honour of their Representative.—(Cheers.) He was a true Reformer—(Cheers)—he was anxious that the peop'e should be really represented—(Cheers)—that their opidions, the opinions of every class in the community should be heard in the House of Commons— (Cheers). It would not become the electors of Lambeth to send any man to Parliament in whom they thought they could not confide.—(Loud cheers). The glorious privilege which had been given to the electors was not con ferred for the purpose of merely electing persons to repre sent yourselves in Parliament; the laws that might be made there would not only affect the lives:and properties of the electors of Lambeth, but that of 19 millions of s.,uls, to whom the elective franchise has not been (Cheers.) The trust that had been reposed in the hands of the electors was a most sacred one, and they were bound to look carefully into the professions of those who wished to represent them. He now stood before the elec tors upon his trial ; and as a proof of his fitness, he would refer to his past political life, of which he might be allowed to say he was proud. He cha lenged an exit- urination of it.—(Cheer..) But it was not aulficient that the electors should look into his first conduct, it was not fit that they should know his future views. Those views he had often declared. lie was a friend to the Constitution of England—(Cheers)—by that the did not mean that constitution, the departure of which the Tories were mourn ing in sackcloth and ashes.—(Cheers and laughter.) Nor did he mean that consiitution which was sup. ported by that old Church-and-King cry w hi c h the Tories were hoarse with pledging—(Loud cheers)— but .he meant that Constitution at whose head was a free King—(Tremendous cheering)—not the mere puppet of an oligarchy—(Loud cheering)—but a King free to act. Such a King had not been on the throne in their time.— ( Hear.) A Peerage restrained to the discharg e of their constitutional duties—(Cheers) —and not permitted to invade or desert the sacred rights of the people.—(ll,,ar.) To secure such a constitution, it was necessary to take care that the people were truly represented. A great step had been taken in obtaining the Reform Bill, but that ~ ~ - ~'i \ measure had not yet done its work ; it was not complete. —( Cheers.) By that lie did not mean to impute blame to his Majesty or his Ministers.—(Cheers.) They had done more than any hand of patriots had ever done at one blow in this or any other country. Ministers had been placed in great difficulties, and it was wonderful they had accomplished so much.—(Cheers ) He (Mr. T. ) did not think the franchise sufficiently extensive in point of numbers, or ample in principle.—(Cheers.) He was of opinion also that the representative and constituent had not a sufficiently rapid reckoning.—(Cheers.) In his opinion they ought to be brought more together.— (Cheers ) For what man would be fool enough, if he was to appoint a steward for his estate, to give him leave to do what he phased for seven years.—(Tremendous cheering.) lie had three remedies for this. The first was a greater extension of the household franchise—(Loud cheers) the next, triennial Parliaments—(Tremendous cheers) and the third, vote by ballot.—(Loud and long continued cheering.) Some might think he went too far, ethers that he did not go far enough ; but if there was any one present who did not love the constitution, he hoped they would live long enough to bless with him the benefits that would be derived under a Reformed Parliament.— (Loud cheers.) If any peg - son wished to ask him any particular questions, he was there prepared to give a frank and manly answer to all of them.—(Loud cheer ing.) A list of questions was here put into the Right Hon. Gentleman's hands, which he stated would take him several hours to answer. One question was, whether he would support his Majesty's Government? To that he would answer that he was not sent there for the purpose of supporting any Government ; he only went into the House to take care of the rights and liberties of the electors of Lambeth.—(Loud cheering.) He believed Mi nisters were animated with the most ardent desire to extend the liberties of the country. They had had unparallelled difficulties to contend with, and it was really surprising that they bad accomplished so much. In the next Parliament, there might be many points in which he should feel obliged to differ from Ministers ; but when he thought they were acting rightly, they should have his warmest support, but when wrong, his decided op position.—(Cheering.) If the electors of Lambeth con ferred on bin the great distinction of being one of their representatives, he would promise them that lie would always be the faithful and watchful guar dian of the rights of the public, and the diligent, active, and faithful representative of the people.—(The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded amidst loud cheering, which lasted for several minutes.) Mr. HawEs was received with great applause. He bad stated elsewhere, and he would state now, that he was an unflinching Reformer.—(Groans and hisses.) His every thought was bound up in the interests of the bo rough of Lambeth, and he thought, therefore, that he had some grounds on which to place his pretensions to the honour of representing the electors of that borough in Pailiament.—(Cheers, hisses, and groans.) He per fectly well knew, when he emerged from pri vate life, what he had to expect ; hut be stood on that platform that day, after all that had been said of him, ready to meet his opponents—to hear and claiming to be heard.—(Loud cheers.) It never could be said of him that he had acted otherwise than in the most fair and honourable manner.—(Loud cheers and hisses.) He would again repeat that he was an unflinching Re former. He was not one of those who would cramp the operations of the Reform Bill, or destroy the just expectations of the people, but would endeavour to defend all those liberties—(Loud cheers)—which had been given to them by the passing of that great measure. —(Continued cheering.) He had already stated his sen- timents on every point necessary for a representative ; hut he would now repeat them again shortly. He wished to see the system of taxation amended and improved.—( Hisses ind cries of " That's good.") He wished to see every encouragement given to the inditsftious classes.— (Loud che , rs.) He wished to see education extended in such a manner as that the borough might obtain its blessings and advantages.—(Cheers.) He should always give his decided dissent to all that he thought amiss in the Government, but he would never thwart, but uphold an honest Administration in any great and useful measure— (Loud cheers)—:end would no longer, if he was chosen the representative of Lambeth, claim that honour when his views did not agree with those of his constituents.— (Loud cheers, and cries of " Bravo, bravo.") When he found that he did not advocate the opinions of the electors of Lambeth in Parliament he should at once resign. He .vished to see a searching Reform carried into all the different departmentS of the Church—(Loud cheering) an equal distribution of all its revenues—(Loud cheers)-- and he looked anxiously forward to the time when the unholy gains of Deans, Chapters, and Prebendary stalls would be distributed among the working Ministers.— (Tremendous cheering.) He wished to see the same spirit of Reform carried into the corn laws as in the Church, for in his opinion it equally, if not more, required the searching spirit of Reform.—(Loud cheers.) He was op. posed to tithes, but would support a fair commutation of tithes.—(Loud cheers.) He would also take the taxes from the lower classes, ar,d put them upon real property.—(Cheers.) He would suppo-t all measures that were calculated to increase the wealth of the country, by means of which the poor rates would be di minished, and the happiness of the country increased; and he should never be found using the trust reposed in him in any other manner than for the benefit of the country ; he would be the last man to apply it to party purposes, and he would only hold that trust as long as he met with the approbation of the electors.—(Continued cheering.) With respect to the Corn Laws, he thought they ought to be re. pealed, and as low a duty as possible placed on that article -(Cries of "No duty, no duty.") lie wished to see slavery totally extinguished, and whatever measure were brought forward to effect that purpose, would meet with his most hearty support.—(Loud cheering.) It was well kown that he was favourable to the repeal of the Assessed Taxes.—(Loud Cheering.) With respect to the Bal lot —(Cries of " that's tha point")—he had all along stated that he had no argument to urge against—(Hisses)—but he considered that it was more a question that concerned the nlectors than the candidate or representative.—(Cries of " Come, come, let us have none of your ifs and buts.") He thought it was the duty of the people to try the effect of the Reform Bill as it existed at present, before any attempt was made at alteration.—(" No, no, that won't do.) As yet, in his opinion, nothing further should be asked of Ministers who had done a great deal already.—(Cries of " No, no, go along with you.") He was of opinion, ho%veverr, that the Reform Bill ought to have given the right of voting independent of the payment of taxes, as simple household log, in his opinion, being quite sufficient to constitute that right.—(Cheers.) The worthy Gentleman, in con clusion, would assure the electors that if they placed him on the proud eminence of one of the representatives, every exertion of his public life should be for the good of his constituents, and the honour and prosperity of the inhabi tants of Lambeth, and the country at larger—(Cheers.) Mr. MOORE came forward amid some applause and loud hisses. He had offered himself as a candidate to represent the Borough in Parliament, feeling well assured that having through a long life advocated the principles of equality, he would entitle himself to the approbation of the electors.—(Cries of " Oh, oh I equalify I I you are giving us a specimen of Tom Paine.") It was not his intention to enter into any circum locution.—(Cries of ‘' Well, that will do ; iawyers know enough of circumlocution ;" and laughter, which lasted some minutes.) He was a determined advobate for the ballot—he was a tho rough Reformer in every sense of the word.—(Cries of " You a dvocate for the press and the diffusion of knowledge. also an have given us enough," " We'll have no more.") He was —(lt won't do.) Undue influence had been used.—(Hisses.) He was determined to go on in spite of everything that might be said against him. Undue influence had been used on the part of a certain magistrate.—(Name, name). Two tax co llectors had been going about canvassing for a cer nperson.—(" alluding parti c ul a rly t o M r . H awes _(Tt at r r. Hawes i s th e on l y mag i strate.— twon'ts t da OH', " Name th em .") H e h a d not mentionai ot 4s M Trrmendous uproar ensued, so, that it was almost im possible to catch a word). The Hon: Gentleman was a determined of " Sturge Bourne's Act—of SelectVestries_ and was the firm friend oftriennial Parliaments.—(Cheering.) He was a determined foe to the corn laws, would vote for the repeal of them without any protecting duty whatever.—(Cries of " You will do any thing to get into Parliament.) He was also a decided enemy to the malt tax, considering that beer and bread were the essential necessaries of life.—(Cheers, and cries of "gin and beer," and laughter.) H e was an advocate . _ also for turning the bishops out of the House of Lords—(Cheers.) He wouhl sell every giver of their property, and compel clergymen to reside among their Hock.—(Loud uproar, which drowned the conclusion of the Hon. Gentlemao's speech.) Mr. WAKEFIELD came forward amidst loud cheers, and in an energetic speech reiterated those sentiments which he had already expressed at severe! public meetings throughaut• the Borough, during wile he was repeadedly cheered. He was a decided friend to every species of Reform, to a repeal of the assessed taxes, the Corn Laws, Tithes, and all monopolies, and he did not believe that any man was a real reformer who was not in favour of vote by ballot and triennial Parliaments. The Honourable Candidate concluded his speech amidst great cheering. The Retumung Officer then put up the names of the candi dates. To those of Mr. Tennyson and Mr. ,Wakefield almost every hand was held up, but to Mr. Hawes and Mr. Moore the shew was very scanty indeed. The two former gentlemen were accordingly declared olected. A poll was then demanded ~~\ on behalfof the other two candidates, which will commence on Monday morning. Mr. TENNYSON and Mr. WAKEFIELD returned thanks, and, after a vote of thanks was passed to the Returning Officer, the poll was adjourned to Monday. THE CITY. The Returning-officers (the Sheriffs) having fixed th, the election for the city should take place to day, th Guildhall began to fill with Liverymen at an early hour, The immediate vicinity of the hall presented a very hust ling and animated appearance ; King-strett was crowded with persons, and placards in profusion relative to the vari ous candidates, and their claims to popular support. A few minutes after 12 o'clock, Sit rifrs Humphery and Peck, and the several candidates and their friends, arrived on the hustings. Messrs. Wood, Waithman, Key, and Grote, were loudly cheered, but Mr. Lyall experienced a reception of a very different character. The Court of Hust;ngs having been opened, and the writ for the election read, the Sheriffs took the usual oath to make a true return to the writ. The Statute of George the Second against bribery at el-ctions was next read, Mr. Sheriff HUMPHERY then addressed the electors, observing that as they had to perform a great and impor tant duty, he hoped they would give every person a fair and candid hearing.—(Hear.) The Crier said the Sheriffs had received the nomination of six candidates for the representation of the city, whose names he read, viz., Aldermen Wood, Waithman, Sir John Key, Scales, Mr. Grote, and Mr. Lyall. The latter name was received with loud hisses. Mr. SMITH, late M. P. for Norwich, came forward and said it was so many years since he addressed his fellow Liverymen, that there might be very few present who could recognise him. He had the pleasure to nominate a gentleman well known to them all, and therefore it was needless to speak of his qualifications ; he was a man who, sixteen or seventeen years ago, had the honour to be called to the civic chair for a second time, in con sequence of the manner in which be discharged his duties during the first year.—(Cheers.) Iu his magisterial capacity, he was known faithfully to do his du►y. After the second mayoralty, he was called en to take on himself the office of representative of the city, and he had been in that office ever since —(Cheers)—lie had been elected six times, and no doubt the electors would c'ect him the seventh time. This was the first time that a great portion of the people were called on to vote for their representatives, and to that portion he (Mr. Smith) appealed for a testimony of their gratitude to the man who contributed to obtain for them the privilege they were now called on for the first time to exercise. —(Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman was proceeding at some length,when lie was interrupted by the impatience of the electors to hear the candidates. Consequently, after a few further observations, he concluded by proposing Mr. Alderman Wood.—(Cheers.) Mr. JOHN EASTHOPE, late Member for Bunhury,carne forward to second the nomination. He felt that in the long Parliamentary career of the Hon. Alderman, there were no forfeited pledges to atone for, no inconsistencies to recon cile, and little to be said, because much had been done.- -(Cheers.) Near twenty years ago Alderman Wood came before them the friend of Reform, economy, and retrenchment; and he now appeared unshaken in his confidence, that his intentions and his acts were the re result of a desire to serve the people.—(Cries of " Wood, Wood," which made the Hon. Gentleman cut his speech short.) Mr. W. WESTON congratulated the electors in meeting them at this important crisis. He had to recommend an honourable and upright man to their notice—he alluded to Mr. Alderman Waithman—(Cheers)-1 man whose services for forty years were fresh in their recollection. It was a saying that in serving the public, a man had a bad master ; but he hoped that would not be now found to be true.—(Cheers.) The Alderman had already worked long in their cause, and he was sure they would send him by a triumphant majority to the House of Commons, to complete the glorious work in which be had for forty years laboured.—(Cheers.) Mr. PKENDERGAST, a barrister, came forward to se cond the nomination of Alderman Waithman ; but, from what cause we could not divine, he was received with a loud shout of laughter. Mr. Sheriff Humphery, how ever, interposed, and obtained him a quiet hearing. The Learned Gentleman said that he was not surprised at the interruption, because he was a stranger in this Hall, and was one of the new constituency.—(Cheers.) He said that Alderman Waithman had fought the people's cause, when to tio so was to receive opprobrium, and now that his exertions bad succeeded, would the people turn their backs on their long tried friend, and bring in new and untried men ?—(Cheers, and cries of " No.") As to the pledges which different candidates gave, he would merely observe that his friend Alderman Waithman had only to say to the citizens of London, "As I have done hitherto, so will I do in future."--(Cheers.) The Al derman had betrayed no trust, and he called on the elec tors to be consistent with themselves, to give the Alder man the only reward he asked for his long labours, viz., the honour of again serving them.—(Loud cheers.) For two reasons, he thought the householders were more cape• cially bound to support Alderman Waithman, viz. his defence of the housekeepers against the demands of the clergy of 2s. 9d. in the pound from all housekeepers ; and 15 years ago, Alderman Waithman brought before the Legislature the propriety of allowing the householders of London to vote at elections for Members of Parliament. Mr. W. STEVENS said they stood in a situation which demanded their most vigorous exertions. They had at length destroyed that borouglimongering system which had ridden over the people for centuries, and they were now for the first time called on to elect their own representatives in a Reformed Parliament. In introducing to their notice Sir John Key, Bart.—(Loud cheers.)—he introduced a man who for two years past had done much for Reform. —(Cheers.) The estimation in which he was held might be judged of by the unanimous vote of thanks passed in a recent Court of Common Council.—(A cry, " What was done in the Court of Aldermen ?") The speaker, having adverted to the conduct of Sir John Key during his mayoralty and his services in favour of Reform, con. eluded by proposing him.—(Cheers.) Mr. W. Wiwams seconded the nomination of Sir John Key. He thou4ht they could not ao well serve their own interests and the interests of their country as by re• turning that Hon. Baronet to a Reformed Parliament.— (Cheers) Mr. HOARD stepped forward to propose Alderman Scales, and was received with a roar of mingled cheers and hisses, which rendered his observations very inaudi ble. The Sheriff attempted, but in vain, to get him a quiet hearing. Mr. Hoard appealed to their indulgence on the ground that it was his first appearance on that stage. He begged to propose Mr. Scales, who was a determined friend of Reform of every kind, and who would protect the rights of the people.—(Cheers and hissts.) Mr. TYERS merely said be seconded the nomination of Mr. Scales. Mr. ISAAC S3LLY, in coming forward to nominite Mr. Grote, was loudly cheered. The character of Mr. Grote was too well known to require many observations from him, and he was sure the discriminating powers of the electors were such that they would secure his election. Such was his love of liberty, and such his desire to nerve his country, that no stone would be left unturned by him that by turning would promote their good.—(Loud cheers.) Dr. BIRKBECK was loudly cheered in seconding the no• mination of Mr. Grote. He felt himself extretnely gratifi& d at proposing a gentl eman t o th e i r no ti ce w h o was deter mined to obtain for them all the benefits which the great measure of Reform could possibly give them. It was not necessary for him to refer to the principles of Mr. Grote, because they had been fully and eloquently explained to them upon many occasions. For whether in the principles, promises, or pledges (and he felt he was using a term which he was sorry to hear falling into disrepute) which Mr. Grote professed, he (Dr. Birkbeck) entirely coincided with him.—(Cheers.) He concluded by seconding the reso luti6n. Mr. WARD was received with immense groaning, hissing. and cries of " Whe sold his country ?" Tie Sheriffs strenuously exerted themselves to obtain him a hearing, but with very little success. As soon as Mr. Ward at- tempted to speak, the uproar again commenced, and it continued during the whole of his speech. He claimed the right which belonged to bin of nominating his friend Mr. Lyall. Under the Reform Bill, the householders had the right of voting, and unless the commercial interest could introduce one Member to represent their interests at the outports, the state of representation would not be justly placed as regarded commercial men. He, therefore, begged to propose his friend, Mr. George Lyall. Mr. BLANCHARD seconded the nomination of Mr. Lyall amidst loud tumult. If they elected Mr. Lyall, he would perform his duty to the public.—(Hisses.) Mt. Sheriff HUMPIIERY then begged the electors to give every candidate who was about to address them a patient iearing. Mr. Alderman Woos was loudly greeted with cheers, among whieh were, however, some hisses. He hoped they would give him an opportunity o: expressing his gratitude, if they would allow non to say nothing else, for to the Livery he would esy that if he had. not fulfilled till the duties which devolved upon hint when they elected him, ke would not have appeared before them thela this day, ah a candidate again for their suffrages.—(Cheas.) With regard to the new voter; he knew he was no stranger to them, and he trusted that they would allow thAt he had some Ii tie claim upon them for having werked early and late, and at all seasons, to obtain for them the franchise they now possessed.—(Cheets.) lie promised them, that if they could find any man would give up more of hts time, and more of attendance in the House of it Commons, or who would be more ready tore e move such taxes as bore heaviest on the people, or more alter to pccinute economy in the public expenditure (We shell give the Conclusion in a Second Edition.) MAR YLEBONE. The hosting.; for this nomination were erected at Park. ertsecnti Regent.stree4 where the candidates fur the re presentation of the borough, accompanied by their various friends, bearing no colours, arrived shortly after tweli'e Weloek. The Precept and Bribery Act having been read, Sir PETER LAURIE presented himself, and exhorted the electors to bear the various candidates fairly and itn partially. They were assembled to exercise one o f the most valuable privileges which belonged to Englishmen. It was the desire of every Englishman, who loved justice himself, that every other should have fair play.—(Che,rs.) That was the most important metropolitan borough, f or wealth, respectability, and inflaence, and he hoped the electors would act worthily of this preeminence. Ile did not stand there as an elector; he was there to preserve order ; and he hoped the electors would she' themselves conspicuous fir gentlemanly conduct. He hoped too that the candidates would not waste unneeestir rily the time or patience of the meeting. He propnee d , that the ca n did ates s h ould draw lots for priority—(Chetm The lots fell out in the following order : •Sir S. WhalleY , Mr. Murphy, C o l onel Jones, Sir W. Horne, and Mr' Portman. Mr. MILLS proposed Sir S. Whalley as a fit and Over person to represent the borough in the ensuing Parliamen t —(Cheers) ; Mr. Potter, of Branford, seconded the 0 0 * tnnation. Sir S. Whalley would not be the represents* tive of himself, he would hear with his ears, see with hie eyes, and carry the wants and wishes of the electors ° I Marylebone faithfully to their own House of Parliament* Sir S. Wholly was well known. He had attended thirty' wo meetings of the borough, and had addressed upward s of 5,000. He was pledged to support the rights of the people, and he was sure the electors would do their duty electing him. He had the Polar star of truth for their guidance and security, and all the others would sink into the shade. He concluded in seconding the nominatio n by exhorting the electors to return Sir S. Whalley, gether with a worthy coadjutor.—(Cheers.) Dr. ELMORE presented himself as the proposer of Mr; Murphy, and drew a striking picture of the corrupt and rotten borough s y stem w hi c h t h e Reform Bil l had destroyed. Talk to him of the Constitution ! Wh at kad it been till that moment? A vile and graspinf oligarchy, composed of a few who bad destroyed all is powers, had superseded the rights of the Sovereign, de' stioyed the legitimate influence of the people in their no ° _, legislative House, and burd e ned th em with the row grievous and intolerable load of national debt and taxation, He gave great credit to Earl Grey and the King, I ° r giving the R e f or m B II t o th e peop l e , w hi c h h a d destroyed at least in its principle the power and influence if not the existence of th e boroughmongers.—(Cheers; 14d anxiously hoped the people would show themselves worth); of what they had received by the judicious exercise of their elective franchise, in the election of Mr. Murphy. Major REVELL seconded the nomination. Mr. Morph,' would advocate cheap Government, and would reduce th e enormous and cumbersome expense of the kingly office., He would destroy all the pension s y s t em , w hi c h weighe d so heavily on the resources of the country, and which to e a disgrace to the rich and their pauper-pensioned children . He would put an end to the extravagance of the Crown* and make easy thereby the burdens and yoke of the Pr () ; ductive classe s , —(Ch eers .) H e h ope d t h a e l ectors w ould do their duty by Mr. Murphy.—(Cheers.) u A g t ly the agonies this s momenta o large of military placard,toitu torture, r w e se as e dng carried mo t s h t throug h ki thecrowd, and produ ce d m uc h con f us i on , so t h at Mr' W.

The conf us i on p reacn ti ng — Mr. SHAW came forward to second tae nomination , ' but could not utter a single sentence which was audible. ; Major CARNACK nominated Sir W. Horne, who ban long been a complete and thorough-going Radical Re' former.—(Loud cheering.) From motives cf pure grai titude the electors should return hilts to Parliam e nt, sn' from the very great confidence Which bis rrevion. services should have gained for him.—(Cheers.) Dr. SOUTHEY seconded Sir William's nomination. His conduct in Parliament entitled him to the support and gratitude of the electors of Marylebone, and of the country ' generally.—(Loud cheers.) . Ciptain HAWKER proposed Mr. Portman in the midst of much confusion, which completely prevented him being heard. Mr. RAIKES seconded Mr. Portman's nomination . Whether the Reform Bill would lead to good Governmen t depended on the exercise by the people of the elective `ranchise. No one of the candidates bad any real claim, which Mr. Portman did not possess, in as high, if not in a higher measure,—(Cheers and much confusion. fi ts Parliamentary conduct, which had been so consistent In favour of popular rights, entitled him to the support of th e electors.—(Cheers.) Sir S. WHALLEY then presented himself amidst loud an I lung continued cheers. The electors of Marylehone had the glory of bursting those ch a ins, f e tt ere d in feuda l t'm •s, and rivitted in pr ceding times.—(Hear, hear.) They were now, for the first time, free men.—(Cheer'.. ) Ana when he looked at them—when he considered the ir respectability, their knowledge, and their legitimate in: fluence, he was only astonished that this, their med° right had been so long withheld.—(Hear.) He was csin cerely and proudly grateful to them for the very b° reception he had met with. And although - t e , could not adequately express that gratitude he WO' gladly avail himself of every opportunity substan d " stantially to testify it, by conveying their wishes 8 !1 , , vindicatin3 their rights, if lie was honoured to be elect ed one of their representatives. The people had achieved for themselves a glorious victory. In accomplishing t t bs great measure which had brought them together they had re-established England as the land of berty, whose altar was established, and on winch the ever living flame burnt high and bright to 11- lame, to cheer, and warm the world. They had conse crated this beautious isle a temple whose vault was the asu" firmament, whose foundation was in the gr ea td eep , an d 1 0 divinity the Lord of Hosts. The were about to exercises great are might sa useful, trust, he stood there, not supported by Government, or backed by church or aristocracy, but he came forward ou his own political claims, as the representative of industry and of the productive classes. He would settle, not thstroy, purify, not pull down, the Constitution, which in its pure state was capable of COW ferring on the people, the blessings of liberty, pros perity and peace. He should have been most happy to have entered largely into a strtement of ln e political views, but lie had all along been unerPo; vocal and explicit in their avowal. And he bor i the electors would show that they appreciated thernt by placing him triumphantly at the head of the poll. Ile exhorted them to persevere in the high and.honoura ble course in which they had set out , an d t h e borough 0i Marylebone would prese n t an examp l e to constitue nt bodies througTiout the kingdom. Sir S. Whalley, al" ( s one further observations, retired amidst loud cheers. Mr. MURPHY then presented himself, and was v i e SS cordially received by the assem'ded electors. He have been most happy to have addressed th e m all as e' e i „ ; tors, for he held that every man liabl e t o b e c alled l ot s serve his country,' or to pay any charge t o the State , entitivd to vote for a Itspresentgtive in Parliatne n ' — ar , (Cheers.)
