OXFORD (CITY).
The eeetion of two members to represent this
cite took place yesterday moroin; at ten o'clock at the Town
Hill, when the late representatives —Mr. Langston and Sir
W. Page Wood. were attended by a numerous body of sup-
porters.
Mr. Alderman BADLIR proposed, and Mr. Alderman
BROWNING weaseled, kir. Langston, as a tit and proper
person to represent the city in l arliament.
Mr. Wu. WALIIII proposed, and Mr. 11. Ilusittsis
seconded. Sir W. PAD' WOOD.
No other candidate being put ha nomination, the Meyer.
NV's. Want, Esq., declared Mr. Langston and Sir W. Page
Ws.' to be duly elected, an announcement which was re-
ceived with much cheering.
Mr. LANUisTON, after thanking the electors for the
honour which they had conferred on him for the id sth time,
remarked that it two candidate. in the Wrby interest had
eppearid in opposition to himself and colleague, they
would have ne iced as an answer that the conetituents had
avolidenee in two men who had long been converts to a
liberel and free trade policy, and had no faith in those who
bad so sud holy bee-one converts. In the county elections
the farmers would still be deluded with hopes of protection.
but as aeon a. the elections were over it would be for ever
set at rut.
Sir W. P. WOOD returned thanks for the honour they
bad conferred ow him, in re-electing him, for the third
time, without any hostility from any opponent, or ex-
citement of feeling, which wily proved that the sentiments
Of the large majority r f electors was so decidedly in
favour of progress th it no candidate opposed to it had
vooturtd, to present himself before them. He remarked
that it must be satiafa,dory to them to have two repre-
sentatives who could vote and act together, ant: who were
not new converts to • free trade and liberal policy, and
who had not, as others had done, thrown aside the
ladder by which they got into power. In conclusion,
Sir W. Page Wood obwrred, that as his colleague and him-
self were the first liberal member,' elected to the new par-
liniment, he trusted that the example set by Oxford would
be followed by the large majority of towns throughout
England.
he hon. members were then chaired according to usual
custom, three times round Carta:, and afterwards through
the: veinal a streets, their chairs being placed on carriages
drawn by lour hones. Soon after twelve o'clock the streets
were as tranquil as ever, and gave but little indication that
a parliamentary election had taken place. The whole pro-
cenLoge were very tame, and entirely devoid of any excite-
ment ; and the nomination might truly be said to have
beta conducted in • very staid and solemn manner, which
was in a great measure owing to the public meeting on
Friday last having partly dispensed with the usual nomina-
tion speeches, and deprived them of all novelty and in-
terest.
