Those were, in effect, the arguments enunciated yesterday by Sir ROBERT PEEL before the independent electors of Tamworth. The inte grity of the ex-Prime Minister was fully compre hended by those electors ; they respected his convic tions, his principles, and his daring ; they knew that in his submission to those convictions, in his further ance of those principles, and in his manifestation of that daring he had evinced the purity of his inten tions by the magnitude of his sacrifices : they knew that in obeying the dictates of his conscience he had abdicated from a species of dictatorship, he had lost the enthusiasm and the devotion of a great party, and had exposed himself to calumnies and vituperations. Remembering all these things, the constituents of Tamworth returned Sir ROBERT PEEL with ac clamation and without opposition. Matters are not, unfortunately, managed so com fortably elsewhere. While the Right Hon. Baronet is quietly reinstalled as the representative of Tamworth, an ugly trick is being performed upon the hustings of Bolton. A word in the ear of the Mayor of Bolton ! A word in your ear Mr. J. Scowcaorr! You have branded yourself on your forehead, and the brand can never be obliterated or forgotten ; it was done in the face of the whole land ; the people of England will henceforth esti mate your character as it deserves to be esti mated. What says Dr. BowitneG ? "I have seen," he says, " many dishonourable and disgraceful nomi nations, but none equal to this ' The circumstances are simple enough. A forest of hands is held up for Dr. BOWRING, a similar number for Mr. JOHN BROOKS, and " a comparative few" (so says the re porter) for Mr. WILLIAM BOLLING. The reporter, indeed, goes further, calculating the number of hands held up in favour of Dr. BOWRING and Mr. Bnooxs as " not less than ten to one when compared with the number held up for Mr. 13o.wisc." Yet, in defiance of thi , , and amidst a storm of indignant disapprobation, the Mayor proclaims Mr. BOLLING and Mr. BROOKS to be the successful candidates, the former gentleman beirg a Conservative. The dis grace of this transaction cannot speedily !se erased from the character of Mr. J. SCOWCROFT, the con scientious Mayor of Bolton. The alleged case of revolt and piracy, for which an entire ship's company were placed on their trial at. Exeter, on Monday last, possesses deep and peculiar interest for every one anxious for the maintenance of the commercial and mercantile welfare of Britain. It was rightly described by the Learned Judge who presided, and by the able and talented counsel who. conducted the prosecution, as a question of the greatest national importance, and of the most vital consequence to the existence of the maritime greatness of this country. The issue that went to the jury was, prac tically, to what extent could a captain be per mitted to bully and tyrannise over his crew, before th e y would be authorised to venture upon a resistance to his authority, and to dispossess him of the power which he had abused. We have had the advantage of a judicial exposition of the law. The Learned Judge declared that, in point of law, a revolt would be justified in one view, and in one view only, viz., that if the conduct of the captain had been such as to afford reasonable grounds for concluding that, unless the men had imprisoned him, they, or some one, or more of them, would have been in danger of their lives, or of suffering some grevious bodily harm, it would be a justification, but that no degree of harshness or oppression, on his part, no commands, however unjust or unreasonable, would be sufficient to warrant the crew in takini the lair into their own hands, or in depriving the master of that command of the vessel with which he had been entrusted by her lawful owners. iVe are bound to accept this. interpretation of the law. We believe it to be strictly in accordance with previous decisions, and that as liberal a view of the particular statute under which the parties were indicted was taken as its stringent provisions would admit. That statute contained no exemption whatsoever, but declared " that if any seaman should confine his captain, er make a revolt in the ship, he should be deemed and adjudged a pirate, and being convicted thereof should suffer death as a felon ;" and, although in the recent changes of the criminal code which the humanity of the age de manded, the extreme penalty of the law was remitted, and transportation substituted for the punishment of death, the law in all other respects remained in the same condition as when it was originally enacted, more than one hundred and fifty years ago. , It is also possible that no very great' relaxation could safely be made in the stringency and severity of this law. It is mani fest that the greatest dangers would be incurred, and evils of the greatest magnitude rendered probable, if seamen were encouraged to resist the authority of their captain on trivial or insufficient grounds. It such a course were tolerated, there would no longer be any security for the lives of the mariners, or for the safety of the property entrusted to their chaige. The destination of the ship might be changed, and the underwriters exonerated from all responsibility, on account of some petty dispute or trifling alter- , i4(4 46 MU; MA, , 4 1;:t a 4 C • . • Ace stied ), : 41 T Op , II . 1) , t017- - PIEL • O ~~~ .~ ~~~~~ ~ ~ :~ ~' ~ s cation. While, however, the sailors are bound by such strict rules, they should be protected by the most efficient and binding enactments against any abuse While we would express our grat ifi cation at the of the extraordinary power conferred upon the honourable course adopted in several of the English master. The present law is altogether one constituencies, we would most emphatically protest sided in its operation. There is no reciprocity against the dishonesty already e v i nce d b y certa i n whatsoever. The seaman who, goaded by a continued factious individuals.

It is not possible to sympathise with the owners of the vessels for any loss they may have sustained in consequence of employing such a person. But we hope that the case may not be suffered to rest here, but that it may attract the notice of the Legislature. An important inquiry has been carried on during the past session into the effect and operation of our navigation-laws, and whether any and what changes therein are desirable. This constitutes one of the most serious topics to be submitted to the consideration of the new Parliament. Whatever may be the result of that investigation or the future legislation on the sub ject, it must be defective and insufficient unless the grievance of incompetent and tyrannical captains is remedied. This can only be done by requiring that every person should be licenf ed by the Trinity House, or some other competent board, before he is permitted to take the command of a vessel, and such license should only be granted after a strict examination as to his qualifications as a seaman, and an investigation into his previous character and conduct, and should be revocable on any proof of subsequent impropriety. By such a regulation, and also by punishing with the utmost severity any misconduct of a captain at sea, we can alone place our mercantile navy on a proper footing, and render justice to the gallant men whose services are so valuable to the country. The Swiss Diet, on the 23d, considered the motion of the Deputies of Geneva for striking out from the rolls of the army of the Confederation the names of all officers who shall continue to serve in the forces of the Sonderbund. The motion, although strongly opposed by the Deputies of the seven cantons forming the Sonderbund, was carried by a majority of twelve votes and two half votes, and the Diet was instructed to draw up a list of such officers. According to the German papers, negotiations have been commenced for the pu'rpose of securing the succession to the Duchy of Brunswick to the family of the reigning Duke WILLIAM. Madrid papers of the 22d have arrived. The Espanol contains an article, warning capi talists against the new loan, which it declares is illegal, while the security offered is illusory. In five out of the six electoral districts of Madrid Pro gressista candidates have been elected. The QUEEN, it is said, is about to make an excursion to Segovia. On the 21st the treaty for the recognition of the re public of Bolivia was signed by, the Minister. TDB SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING-, JULY 29, 1847. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The Constitutionnel has an admirable article on the affairs of Switzerland, and on the conduct of M. GUIzoT in lending himself to a reactionary policy in support of the Jesuits and the Serviles in that coun try, and thus not only repudiating, but stamping as a crime the revolution of 1830. The following is the article from the Constitutionnel " The struggle is becoming more and more desperate in Switzerland between the Diet and the League. The Diet pronounces the dissolution of the League, whilst the League replies by a protest and a threat of civil war. To this challenge the Diet responds in its turn by a note which forbids the Federal officers to have any intercourse with the Sonderbund, and threatens to cashier such as should persist in accepting employment in the troops of the separated cantons. This decision is the forced consequence of the former one. After having declared the alliance to be incompatible with the compact, it was inevitable that the incompatibility of the service in the army of the confederation, with that in the insurgent troops should be formally announced. It is the practical application of the purely theoretical decision which was taken first. It is evident that this struggle, which since the opening of the debates has remained within a circle, in a certain measure abstract, is tending to occupy the ground of facts and application; it is more and more to be feared that to the war of inter pretations and speeches may succeed a real war—that in which musket-shots will decide the differences. We do not hesitate to declare, that if blood is to be shed in Switzerland, that blood must be justly attributed to the powers who encourage an illegal revolt against the estab lished government, and hold out a premium to civil war in the hope of assistance coming from abroad— thus casting into the scales, where are at present balanc ing the destinies of Switzerland, the weight of the sword of a new holy alliance. It is truly impossible to com prehend how these same Powers which, in 1815, in their declarations to Switzerland, laid down in the most pre cise and peremptory manner the principle of the neces sary submission of the minority of the states to the ma jority, should now come forward and support a principle diametrically opposite, by demanding, under the menace of a coming intervention, that the majority should pass under the Caudine forks of the minority—that the law should bend before revolt ! It is easy to comprehend that they will always be ready to sacrifice all their ideas of justice and the truest principles to their egotism and reactionary policy, but that the Government of July should make itself against Switzerland, in the name of the treaties of 1815, the accomplice of the Powers which have just destroyed Cracow in contempt of these same treaties ; that it should support in the confederation the same Jesuits that it was forced to expel from France ; that for such results it should not fear to repudiate at the same time in a single act its revolutionary origin, its interests, and its duties against an allied people, is what cannot but excite the utmost indignation and as tonishment, if anything on the part of the Cabinet could call forth such feelings." Certainly the policy of the Court of France in sup porting this reactionary movement in Switzerland, is very short-sighted. Is it to be imagined that if the Austro-Jesuit reaction should be successful in Swit zerland, it will stop short at the Jura ? Has M. GUIZOT forgotten the alliances recently contracted between the Princes of the elder house of Bourbon and those of Hapshurgh, and does he imagine that for the sake of the beaux yeux of the Orleans branch, Austria will sacrifice those principles of legitimacy s,‘ hich are so dear to her ? It may be true that Austria makes the most devoted professions of friend ship to the reigning dynasty of France, but she did the same to NapoLroN, and betrayed him. An in tervention by France in.aid of the Sonderbund would be treason to the Orleans dynasty in any Minister who should counsel it, and in any Sovereign of that branch who should consent to it, political suicide. . We learn from these papers that the Vorort of the Swiss Diet,' M. OCIISENHEIM, having com municated to M. Boss LE COMTE, the French Minister in Switzerland, a letter which he had received from M. - JEINY, the gentleman accused of having decorated his dog with the Legion of Honour, denying that the dog had been so decorated, and stating that nothing but a powerful imagination could have traced any resemblance between the de coration in question and the pieces of tin attached to dogs' collars, M. Boss LE COMTE had expressed him self satisfied with the explanation, and M. GUIZOT was satisfied with the satisfaction of M. Bois LE COMTE. It was rumoured in Paris that Austria and France were, in the affairs of Switzerland, to act the part which Austria and the Northern Powers have acted in the affairs of Poland, and that in the event of in tervention, an attempt would he made to partition the republic. We cannot credit this rumour. The illoniteur publishes the returns of the impor tation of grain and flour into France, from which it appears that the quantity amounted, from tie Ist of July, 1846, to the 15th of July, 1847, to 9,403,028 hectolitres. The average price of wheat throughout France during the first six months of 1847 was—in January, 30f. 16c, per hectolitre ; in February, 33f. 50c ; March, 37f. 69c.; April, 37f. 54c. ; May, 37f. 98c. ; June, 33f. 52c. The apprehend se states h 'r e e n s dafurt that her there is no scarcity or even the le ven dearness cause so e t to ' food. The samples of new wheat offered for sale are superior to those of an ordinary year, and abundance is general. In commenting on the reception of Lord Joni ; RUSSELL by the citizens of London at the great meet ing at the London,; Tavern, the Courrier Franc a i s makes the following pithy observations : "If we were told that one of the King's Ministers had come f , rward to solicit the votes of the electors of Paris, and that he was received with enthusiastic acclamations, we should exclaim—this is strange. Why does the re ck:..ption given to Lord John Russell, the first Minister of the Queen of England, by the electors of the city of London, appear strange to us? How it is that neither of our Ministers, since Casimir Perier and Laffitte, has ever thought of soliciting the votes of the electors of Paris? Would the Government be in danger if 6,000 citizens should receive M. Guizot or M. Duchatel as 6,000 of the electors of London have received Lord John Russell? Would a French Ministt r who should present hitioselt thus before the electors of the capital think it necesar m y e,,,in t t op g ut the police on foot, and thstribute cart ridges to th e garr i son ever y the citizens should a.3t;, m We for a p o li t i ca l rnanii;-,.=o:i, as was the case ii of the ChLe2= - .-Rriu ,. .e and th? when • l'l';'%''M''?in Would iaterah i o l U t ld th ot t ta L i ' n u d s a e y fr fo o r m ti t ' h ' e cu p u e " Op tr l Y A of Paris? Why has none of them attempted it? It because none of them can say like Lord John Russell— 'l am a liberal Minister, and if it should happen for me to have to choose between your wishes and the necessities of the Government, you will not believe that I have be trayed liberty because I shall have opposed myselt to over-impatient desires.'" The same paper returns to the subject of the con cession of the mines in Algeria to the Talabot Com pany, and asks if Marshal Sonia' has not an interest in the ironworks at Alais, and others directed by the Talabot Company. It is not true that General CIIBIERES is about to emigrate to the United States. He intends residing for the future at the chateau of Autiviile, near Fe camp. _ The following is the programme for the celebra tion of the present anniversary of the Fetes of July : " During the three days, three tall masts will be erected on the Pont Neuf with each a banner of the na• tional colours. On Tuesday, the usual distribution of alms will be made in each of the twelve arrondissements. On Wednesday, funeral services in memory of the citi zens who were killed during the three days in 1830, will be performed in all places of public worship. A special service will be solemnized in the parish church of Stint Paul, at ten o'clock. During these services, the banners on the Punt Neuf will be covered with crape. On Thursday military pantomimes will be played on two theatres erected on the Grand Carle of the Champs ElyEess, where there will be four orchestras for dancing and a maypole with five prizes at the pinnacle for climbers. At the Barriere du Trone there will be a theatre for pantomimes, two orchestras for dancing, and a maypole with five prizes.

THREE O'CLOCK.-The market was better, particu larly towards the close, when prices were much stronger than during the rest of the day. Railway shares have recovered in a great measure from the effects of the fall of the day before. The Three per Cents. opened at 771. 5c., and went up to 77f. 25c., at which they closed. About two o'clock prices gave way, and every thing seemed again inclined to go down, when, a little before the bell rang, a general advance took place-the last prices being the highest of the day :- Ganneron Bank Shares, which had not been quoted for some days, show a fall of 25f.

LOYAL UNITED FRIENDS.—On Monday evening last the stewards of the last anniversary dinner at High bury Barn partook of a supper at the Griffin, Leonard street, Curtain-road, Shoreditch, when a numerous body of the stewards sat down to an entertainment which re flected much credit to the worthy host, P. S. I'. Price. P. P. Burns and P. S. P. Wells officiated as chairman and deputy, and were supported, among others, by P. P. Clowes, P. P. Bull, P. P. Fawcett, P. P. Hayward, P. I'. WitliamF, P. P. Fitzgerald,- P. P. Boggis, P. P. Harris, P. P. Soper, P. P. Hull, P. P. Murdon, and P. Burgess, of No. 15 Lodge. After the usual toa,ts had been given, and properly responded to, the chairman gave " The Order of Loyal 'United Friends, awl may it prosper as long as time shall exist." This toast was re ceived with tremendous applause. The Senior Steward, General Secretary Shiers, in a neat speech, proposed " The Ladies and Friends who were kind enough to favour the Stewards with their company at Highbury." After which P. P. Murdon and P. I'. Pike gave a very pleasing recitation, which was well received. " Success to the Charitable Funds of th e O r d er, " an d "P rosper i ty to the Gift Funds, were aft.rwards given, and received with much enthusiasm. The healths of the Chairman, Deputy, Senior Steward, Host, and P. Burgess were in the course of the evening drunk with great honour, and severally acknowledged by the parties in short but ap• propriate speeches. Several amusing songs were sung, and the company, at a late' hour, adjourned to their re spective homes, in high spirits. This important social order now comprises about 12,000 . mem b ers , w i t h 30 lodges,and 15 highly-flourishing gift funds, and 5,0001. stock. SUDDEN ILLNESS OF , EARL JERMYN.—Much in terest and concern have been manifested by ull classes and parties in this town, in consequence of the serious indiseosition of this universally esteemed nobleman. His Lordship came from town on Friday,. and on that and the following day proceeded with his canvass of the electors in conjunction with Mr. Twiss. On Saturday evening he and his colleague met a party of friends at dinner at Hardwicke House, the seat of the Rev. Gir T. G. Cullum, Bart. Early on Sunday morning, at Ick worth, the Noble Lord was seized with a viorent attack of English cholera, with severe cramps of the legs, great prostration of strength, and other symptoms of the worst form of that disorder, so - as for some hours to occasion the most serious apprehensions in the minds of his medical attendants. Towards evening the symptoms abated under the remedies prescribed, and since then we are happy to be able to state that his Lordship has been going on so favourable as to warrant the best anticipations of an early recovery.—[Tuesday, one P.M. —his Lordship is better this morn in g , but he will be unable to take any part in the electio n p roc eedings.]— Bury Herald. ALARMING FIRE AND NARROW ESCAPE.—Yester day morning, at an early hour, the premises of M r . flawburt, g enera l dealer, No. 2, Belne.place, Blu e Anchor-road, Bermondsey, were discov ered to b e on fire. . An instant alarm was raised, and after considerable trouble the inmates were aroused from their slumbers; the fire, by that period, had obtained a strong hold of the lower part of the premises, and owing to the intense heat, and the suffocating nature of the smoke, it was with the greatest difficulty that the several parties re siding in the house could effect a safe retreat. As it was, they had not sufficient time to dress themselves, but were obliged to rush into the street in their night clothes. The engines of the London B ri g ade, p arish, and West o f England office quickly attended, and there being an abundant supply of water flowing from the mains in the district, the firemen set the engines to work, and by pouring a copious stream of water into the midst of the flames, they were soon extinguished, not, however, until the premises and the stock in trade therein, toee ther with the furniture, were severely damaged by fire, &c. The origin of the outbreak could not be learned. Had it not been for the timely di s covery, it is quite pro bable that every person i n t h e building would have bees burned to death. HR ROUGHAM OAK.—A few days since one of the finest oaks in Rougham park was felled, having been purchased to form the stern of a man-of-war. The ponderous load was conveyed on three trucks over the Eastern Union and Eastern Counties Railways, on Thersdey last, to London. its weight, we understand, as nint tons.

The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was steady, without much business being dune. Sales 3,500 bales, including 3,000 bales American, at 6d. to 74d. per lb. In Railway Shares there was very little doing, but the quotations were firm. The Share Market was rather firmer yesterday,' and rather more business doing. We subjoin a few of the quotations at Mesrs. Lamond and Co.'s weekly sale of Shares:— London and Manchester (Remington's).. 0 6 0 East Indian ...

Louvain ala Sambre, ex int 0 14 6 North Staffordshire Great Northern North British, Thirds Liverp. Manch. and Newcastle-upon-Tvne 0 15 0 The Money market is still rather tight, and there is some controversy as to whether this will continue. In the opinion of many, the Bank will exercise great caution still, and accommodate, principally, the middling class of merchants. The American advices by the Caledonia, are cheering in reference to the supplies of grain and flour which we may expect, and as prices are declining on the other side of the Atlantic, our supplies will not be so costly. Indeed a good harvest here will soon relieve us of the necessity of importing much more, and the present " pinch " therefore, may prove the tightest of the year. The exchange at New York was about 1064. We regret to hear that trade was very dull in Canada, and that "everybody is complaining," as one party writes. Flour had been down to 31s, per barrel, and freights were in gcod demand at 6s. 3d. to Liverpool, and 6s. 6d. to London and Glasgow. Exchange for private bills at ninety days 61 per cent. premium.

As was to be expected, the transactions in the Stock Exchange to day are of but a limited character, and the market continues firm. Consols have been 88i 4 for present transfer, and 89 to 89k for account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been quoted 904 to 91. Bank Stock is firm at 196 k to 198.

Neither Spanish nor Portuguese Bonds have been dealt in. Dutch Two-and-a Half pc r Cents, have been 57k. Railway Shares have been quiet, but are better.

NOMINATION OF CANDIDATES. The nomination of candidates for the borough of Lambeth took place this day, on Kennington-common. Shortly after nine o'clock Mr. Pearson, one of the candidates, accompanied by a numerous retinue of his supporters, arrived in a long train of carriages in the neighbourhood of Kennington common, and having alighted at their committee-room, prccceded on foot to the hustings, and took their places accordingly. He was loudly cheered. Mr. Hawes was the next to make his appearance ; he was accompanied by his Excellency Mr. Bancroft, and a numerous train of supporters, and was received with mingled cheers and hisses, and cries of " Manchester wants no bishop," " How is the bishop?" to which Mr. Hawes good-humouredly remarked " Your money will not pay for the bishops." Mr. Hawes shortly after wards announced that the Liberal candidates for the city of London were upwards of 100 a head at ten o'clock, an announcement which was received with tremendous cheers. At half-past ten Mr. Tennyson D'Eyncourt appeared on the hustings, and was loudly cheered. Proclamation for silence having been made, Mr. R. ONsLow, the returning officer, proceeded to read the precept and writ for the election, anal the Act for the prevention of bribery and corruption, with the usual formalities. Mr. theseow then stood forward, and stated that he hoped the electors would hear with fairness and calmness the opinions of all the candidates, and that the election would be conducted in such a manner as to reflect credit ' upon the enlightened constituency of' Lambeth. Mr. REDHEAD then proposed the name of Benjamin Hawes, jun., Esq., as a fit and proper candidate to re present the borough of Lambeth in the Commons House of Parliament. He had great pleasure in doing so, on the ground of the past and efficient services he had ren dered to the country and to the borough in his place in Parliament.—(Cries of " No bishops.") And he hoped that the result of the election would be, that they would send him again to represent them in the House of Com mons.—(Never, never.) Mr. CORY said that this was the second time he had had the honour of recommending B. Hanes, Esq., and he felt assured that in re-electing him they would return a consistent and honest man.— (Cries of "Nonsense," hisses, and other marks of disapprobation.) He would content himself with seconding his nomination, feeling folly convinced that his re-election would reflect great honour upon the borough.—(Cries of " No, no," and great confusion.) Mr. CHRISTIE proposed Mr. Tennyson D'Eyncourt. He had been a long and tried friend of the borough, and had represented it ever since the passing of the Reform Bill. He asked them now to do as they had alway s done, come early to the poll and vote for Tennyson D'Eyncourt, honesty and integrity.—(Cheers.) Mr. HARDY seconded the motion. It was now fifteen years since Mr. D'Eyncourt first came forward to re present the borough. lie would nut remind them of the sacrifices made by that gentleman in the cause of liberty, and in promoting the prosperity of the borough of Lambeth. He could never imagine that ingratitude would ever become the attribute of the borough of Lam beth, and he hoped that the time would never come when consistency would cease to be a strong recommendation in favour of any candidates that might be proposed to represent that. borough. He was a Dissenter himself, and he felt sorry that he differed from many of his brethren on cer tain points, but he felt perfectly satisfied to leave his interests in the hands of Mr. Tennyson D'Eyncourt, and he must say, he hoped most sincerely that the electors would place that gentleman at the head of the poll.— (Cries of " We will," and loud cheers.") Mr. CORDEROY came forward to propose Mr. Charles Pearson. They were all aware of the principles of that gentleman, and many overflowing meetings had ex pressed their assent of his principles. The fact of his being a true Protestant was ono reason why he gave him his warmest support. He said if ho was elected he would oppose the further endowment of Maynooth.— (Cries of " No endowment at all.") He supported him also on the great grounds of civil and religious liberty, for his profound eloquence, his great and varied abili ties, and his devotion to the great cause of education, and civil, religious, political, and commercial freedom. He felt, therefore, the greatest pleasure in proposing Charles Pearson, Esq., as a fit and proper candidate to represent the borough of Lambeth. Mr. DOULTON seconded the nomination. He did so, because he believed that if elected he would do his ut most to promote the best interests of the borough of Lambeth. Mr. Pearson was an eloquent advocate of the civil and religious liberties of the people of the coupe try, and he most sincerely trusted that the electors of the borough of Lambeth would do their duty by placing him at the head of the poll. Mr. DANIELS proposed Mr. Gurney as a fit and proper person to represent Lambeth. Mr. SHAW seconded the nomination of Mr. Gurney. The RETURNING OFFICER then asked whether there were any other candidates to be proposed, and no one ap pearing, Mr. B. HAWES then presented himself, and was re ceived with a storm of hisses, which lasted for some time. Silence being somewhat 'ostored he said—Gentlemen, it now becomes my duty, as it is my privilege, to ad dress you upon this important occasion first in order of the candidates who have been presented to you.— (Hisses.) That privilege has been earned by me through your approbation and support in previous contested elections in this borough, and sanctioned as my conduct has been at pat elections, I look confidently to the re sult of this for a similar confirmation and approbation.— (Cheers and hisses.) I cannot commence the proceed ings of this day without expressing a strong feeling in my mind, in which I know you will all concur with me, if in nothing else, and that is the feeling that, in conduct ing this contested election we, among the candidates, and you, among the several supporters of each of us, mae con duct oureeives fairly and as gentlemen one towards the other.—(Cheers.) It has been my most anxious wish that the election should be conducted without that personality and ill-feeling which so frequently agitates the public mind at elections in general, and I am glad to find that it has been so con ducted, and that the feelings of no person whatever has been intentionally wounded. now proceed to say in the face of the electors of this large borough, that having served you many years with industry and fidelity —(Cries of " No, no," and hisses)—l venture now to claim the honour and the reward of the due discharge of those duties, and when I hear the promises of others, I may fairly refer to my own acts and my own deeds.— (" How about the new bishops?") I ask you to refer to any of those great questions—(A voice—" How about DuncoMbe's motion?")—which affect the great interests of the country, and say whether I have not faithfully discharged my duties.—(No, no.) It has been said, and truly said, that Mr. Pearson has appeared before you at many public meetings, as he was bound to an d no d ou b t wished to do, and so have I, for I have never been afraid to meet the electors of this borough.—(A voice—" We Watit - principles, not talking,"y—in order to explain my conduct, and to vindicate any part of my conduct, upon which I might be questioned. (A voice— " How would you like the: ' cat,' Hawes ?" At this moment a cat-o' nine-tails' was exhibited on the hustings by one of the supporters of Mr. Pearson.) Having, therefore, upon these various occasions to which I have alluded given you every opportunity in my power to ask for an explanation of my conduct, and also taken every opportunity of vindicating myself from the charges brought against me, I do not feel it now necessary to go again into those details which I have already done.— (A Voice, " You never did, you always shirked the question.") I cannot, and I am not going now, in the face of my constituents, to blink one question or objection which has been raised. It has been said that I, representing one of the largest constituencies in this kingdom, am disqualified from serving the people because I serve the Crown.—(Hisses.)
