HALIFAX.

IiALIFAX, JULY 6.—The nomination of candidates
took plate in the Piece Hall to day. There was a large attend-
ance, probably not less than 10,000 people being present on
the occasion. The tory party, who appear to he acting in
concert with a section of the chartists, paraded the town
with bands of music during the morning; but the free-
trade party had neither banners nor music. The two free
trade candidates entered the Piece Hall together, and on
appearing on the hustings were cheered by their supporters,
but received with loud groans by the united tory and char-
tist party, who appeared to entertain the strongest feeling
against Sir Charles Wood, to whom a section behaved most
disgracefully throughout the whole proceedings.
At eleven o'clock the Mayor (Samuel Waterhouse, Esq.)
took his place, and at once proceeded to business. The
precept from the High Sheriff having been read, the cus-
tomary oaths administered, and the Bribery Act read, the
MAYOR bespoke a patient hearing for all who had to speak,
and called upon any one who had a candidate to propose.
Mr. J. STAVILIT came forward to propose Mr.
Henry Edwards, a gentleman whom he considered well
qualified again to represent the borough. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. NICNOLOON, draper, briefly seconded the mousing-
tion of Mr. Edwards.

MIL EDWARD AEROYD came forward, amid the cheers
Kids own party and the groans of the tory-chartist party,
to sorainate Sir Charles Wood.
JOHN CROSSLEY, BEI., seconded the nomination.
Mr. BALDWIN proposed Mr. Frank Crossley so well fitted
o represent the borough.
Mr. Juszrx Tuoar seconded the nomination of Mr.

CnIMIH. ARROWS HOLT OITIOiILOLOd, and mother elector
sessinded, Mr. Ernest C. Jones.

___,
No other candidate being proposed,
Mr. EDWARDS was called upon to address the electors,
and he was received with cheers and some slight indica-
tionsof dissatisfaction. It was well known, by those who at on
the same benches with him in the House of Commons, that
for many years he had been opposed to a duty on corn ,• and
more than 130 members would speak to his having said that
if Lord Derby's administration should propose a duty on
core, he would oppose it. (Hear, hear.) He war quite
alive to the benefits resulting from free trade ; and he knew
that the people of this country wished free trade to be con-
tinued. (Hear, hear.) He told them, when standing on that
platform five years ago, that he would give free trade • fair
trial : and he defied all the Chancellors in the world to show
that he had given a single vote which could militate against
free trade. But Sir Charles Wood had voted against
a reduction of the duty on sugar. If free
trade meant • reduction of the duties which press
upon the community, he was a free trader ; but
be was not for the free trade which would reduce wage,.

me nenalatien of candidates for the representa-
tion of 11•11 Mak plate yesterday morning. Ilastiap
were erection's usual, before the Town ball, and upwards
of twelve dimmed persons were present. The Sheriff, J.
C. N. HamMak Esq., entertained the candidates, with a
very large number of their friends, at breakfast at the
public rooms. After breakfast • proceseien was formed,
which proceeded to the hustings, where, as we have said, a
very large number of persons had assembled.
After the usual tonne had been gone through,

Mr. H. BLONDILL nominated Mr. James Clay, their
old end tried member, and a stannek reformer.
Mr. Alderman THourson seconded the nominalists.
Mr. S. T. Miasma. nominated Mr. Bromley Moore as a
person who would stay the tide of destruction which was
overwhelming the country, end by supporting the ministry
of Lord Derby help to procure that reciprocal free trade
which could alone be advantageous to the country.
Mr. Ron. HanuCT seconded the nomination.
Mr. T W. P proposed, ts a fit and proper person
to represent them, (horse Samuel Frederick Robinson,
common'y called Viscount °Wench. His lordship, he felt
assured, if elected, would no. only serve the town to the
best of his ability, but would, in all probability, be of the
utmost service to it hereafter.
Mr. N. 11. PraitaoN, ship-owner, seconded Viscount
Cluderich'!nomination.

Mr. T. Wain, ship-owner, nominated the lion. Charlie
Lennon Butler, • staunch conservative, and NM who would
serf, the town well. _ _

MI. CHAZLIII 8*111,01114 wine-Merthilftt, seconded the
nominations of Mr. Butler. _ _

No other gentleman bating a candidate to propose, the
Sheriff called upon
Mr. CLAY, who was greeted with loud cheer" and coun-
ter-cheer". said the two old factions of whip and ee-
rie', who had so long governed, or rather misgoverned,
this country, were nearly worn out, and had no strength for
the COUlrdiliiioll of further mischief. Another party was rising
up to perform those duties which the old factions were no
longer capable of performing. The time had arrived when
the people should return to parliament men pledged to
support the people's rights, to replace in the House of
Commons those two old worn-out factions, and to form a
people's party. (Cheers.) It rested entirely with the
people themselves whether they would have such a party
—and now was the time when they most speak out. Such
a party would support the principles of free trade, now
somewhat one-sided, and would carry them out to their
fullest extent. It would also bring about a large extension
of the suffrage, and would moreover protect that suffrage
by the ballot. To this party he would be found adhering ;
and, if sent to parliament, he could assure them that his
best endeavours should be used to promote the cause of the
people.
Mr. JOHN BRAAILEY MOORE next addressed the
elation, amidst great confusion. lie found fault with Mr.
Clay for not having brought forward a motion against the
repeal of the navigation laws, and also for having taken
pan in what be called the suicidal free trade measures He
(Mr. Moore) was not a thick and thin supporter of Lord
Derby, but he should give him his support generally, be-
came he believed him to be actuated solely by • desire to
benefit the people and promote the welfare of the kingdom.
He would not reimpose• duty on cern, but he would take
such steps as should afford relief to the suffer-
ing interests of the country. He attacked Lord
Doderich, u being utifit, from his youth and
inexperience, to represent so great and important'.
a town as Hull, and advised him to go home to the nursery
again and get on the rocking-horse. (This advice was
greeted by those who heard it with most unequivocal dis-
approbation.) Ile concluded by requesting the electors to
send him to parliament, where he wculd devote the whole
of his time to the furtherance of their interests and the in
-
Wrest' of the kingdom at large.
Lord Viscount OODERICH was received with the most
enthusiastic applause. His lordship replied to the attack
upon him by Mr. Brantley Moore, describing it as altogether
uncalled for and ungentlemanly. Ile entered into an ex-
position of his political pnneiples, expressing himself
strongly in favour of free trade, an extension of the fran-
chise, vote by ballot, and triennial parliaments. Ile pledged
himself if they returned him to parliament, to be unceasing
in his attention to their local interests; and in conclusion
said, whether ho was returned or not, he should never
forget the kindness with which he had been received.
The lion. CHARLES LENNOX BUTLER then ad-
dressed the meeting. His speech, which was inaudible to
any one but the reporter", was a tirade of abuse of his oppo-
nents. He ascribed all sorts of ill conduct to them, and
spoke very extravagantly. Ile claimed the votes of the
electors on the ground that he was • conservative, and as
such one of the real friends of the people.
The Sheriff then called for a show of hands, when those
held up for Mr. Clay and Lord Dederick were vastly more
than those for their opponents, probably fifty to one. The
sheriff declared the show to be in favour of Mr. Clay end
Lord Ooderich, whereupon the proposen of the other Iwo
candidates demanded a poll, and it was flied for to-day
