THE ELECTIONS
MONMOUTH ELECTION.
(Paola ova OWN 001/LISPONDINT.)
The nomination of candidates for tho representation
of the united boroughs of Monmouth, Newport, and Usk.
took place on 'Thursday at the Town-hall, Monmouth. The
present vacancy is one of the results of the unfortunate
failure of the Welsh hanks, In which the late member, Mr
Blewitt, had an interest, and which called for his
ties of the seat. The prospect of an early vacancy canal
the preen nt candidates into the field more than three
months since, and although the prospect of an early disme
lotion of parliament led te the szpectation that there would
be no electionfuntil that event, both the oppoeingeandidatte,
Mr. Crawshay and Mr. Lindsay, have been actively
canvassing the electors, and the contest has been looked for-
ward to with considerable interest in the surrounding district..
Tho proceedings were of the most boi.teroue character.
Party saint ran very high, and cacti party in its turn did
its best to render all that was said by the other inaudible.
Atter the usual preliminaries, Samuel Hoinfray, Esq.,
Tredegar, proposed Cr.iwthsy Bailey, Esq., es a fit sad
proper person to represent the united .boroughs of MOM
mouth, Newport, sod Usk in psrlimeent.—Alga. Hells,
Esq.. seconded She asadastion.—Jas. Brown, Fwg., of the
