A *maim's' inquired whether • number of Roman
catholic priests were nut then working for Mr. Osboruc's
election, in Winekollce-court ?
Mr. B. 08BORNEsaid he thought he had already denied
that he had any eennstion with the matter, in ayug that
he did not know any of the Roman catholic electors.
Mr. KU saki the ant resulution purporting to ins. from
Wine-office-court had been contradicted by the very parties
from whom it purported to emanate. It first appeared in
an advertisement in the Times. It was afterwards contra-
dicted ; and the sdvertisoment was copied in large placards
as • quotation from the Mims, in order t s prevent the Übe-
ral isiterest from supporting Mr. Osborne. (Hear. hear)
Mr. W. WILLUKI, M.P., then moved the following re-
solution That this meeting having beard with
the greatest satisfaction the liberaipolitical, religions, end
osonnernal principles expressed by Mr. Bernal Osborne,
and confiding in his known advocacy of the extended free-
dom of Use subject, hereby pledges itself to we its best
endeavours to secure his return to parliament." The hon.
member said the rejection of Mr. Osborne would be an
indelib!e disgrace to the county, and would leave a void in
the House of Commons which no other man could fill.
The resolution was socandsd by Mr. J. Adams and car-
ried uaanimously.
It was then determined that another meeting should be
held in the same platy in the events.; and after several
rounds of cheers for Mr. Osborne sad Lord Robert Groove-
nJr, the proceedings terminated.

In the after part of the day, Mr. Osborne proceeded to
the Tower Hamlets, and addressed the county electors re-
siding in that borough.

Another party cried out from the crowd that he escandod

I rapport the eitenelor. of the commercial policy of Sir R.
Peel. (Cheers.) He would oleo give his
-hearty support to
as eatereran of the suffrage, and to any plan of popular
raluestion. (Cheers.) Under the late government there
had bees a reduction of taxation to the amount of
' 6,000,0001., and he should be glad to help on farther reduc•
tiara. He could not, however bold out any high hope for
the tenant-farmer, that something wee "looming in the
distance"—(laughter)—for such a hope might be dim's-
pointed ; but he wished to raise the national
way less burthensorne to the people. (Cheers, and a voiee,
Tote mean it to come from the landlords' rent ?") His
opinion on that subject was, that it would be better for
rents to be depredated than for the people's bread to be
dear. (Loud cheer.)
Colonel GILPIN resiowed his parliamentary career dur-
ing the two sessiora in which he had set, and defended the
policy of the Earl of Derby.
Mr. Wi11.., Mr. Howe, and Mr. Everitt, manufacturen
of Luton, then delivered Teethe§ of a free-trade and
cal tendincy, and they defended their principles as noncon-
formists. They rho guts:lona Mr. Russell and Colonel
Gilpin, and received replii s.
Mr. 8. Roger., who also had been nominated, made a
speech in favour of the policy of protection, but, of course,
withdrew from the contest.
Colonel Gilpin and Mr. Russell were then declared duly
elected.

NORTH WARWICKSHIRE.
The declaration of the poll took place yesterday
at Colethill, in the presence of some 500 of the supporters
of Messrs. Newdegate and Spooner. None of the liberal party
were present, they having taken no part In the election in
any way, since the retirement of Messrs. Craven and Skip-
with, on Thursday night. The conservatives continued
polli g all day on Friday, and by four o'clock bad pretty
well polled theinselvea out.
A detachment of Dragoons and • strong brigade of the
police from Birmingham, were stationed in the town in
order to preserve the peace.
The numbers as declared by the sheriff were—
Newdegate
Spooner 2.822
Craven
Skipwith
The two first were accordingly declared elected.
Mr. NEWDEGATE then stepped forward amid the
Mews of his friends. He thanked them for having for the
time returned him to represent their interests in the
of Commons. Eleven years since they had taken
him, an untried man, so that hi, political education might
be said to have taken place in their service. In 1841, in
1847, and again at this election, they had given a proof that
in their opinion he had done nothing to forfeit the confi-
dence of the constituency. He congratulated the eleeton
that they bad maintained the independence of the division
against corruption and an attempt to swamp the consti-
tuency. Mr. Bright bad told him in the House of Com-
mons that be did not represent • majority in the House of
Commons ; but, when premed on the point, he said that he
did not represent the majority of the constituency of North
Warwiekshire so it should be. That arrogant assertion
had been disproved by the result of this election. The hon.
gentleman then went on in characteristic style to repeat his
well-known opinions on protestantism,Maynooth, theQtseen
the crown and constitution. 'With reference to education
he avowed himself in favour of it so that it was not of such
a character as tended to the subversion of the church and eon-
stitution and to lead to anarchy. On the subject of free trade
(he said) his opinions were unchanged ; but Mr. Cobden's
advice had been taken as to the isaue to be tried in this
election. It was simply protection or free trade, though
there were many other questions of equal importance. And
although himself as much • protectionist as ever, it Lord
Derby saw that it was useless to attempt it In its old form,
he, for one, was not again going to be the man to attempt to
break up the conservative party. lie had aided in doing
that once, and was not willing to renew the experiment.
The question was between Lord Derby, on the one hand,
and Lord John Russell, Graham, and Cobden on the other.
From the former the farmer had something to expect
in the way of relief; the latterly sternly resisted every-
thing, whilst Lord Derby was prepared to alter our financial
system to make it accord with our altered circumstances
under free trade. The hon. gentleman next referred to the
papal aggression, which, of course, he condemned, so well
as Lord John Rinsch, for his week measure respecting it.
He declared himself determined to oppose the introduction
of the Romanist Cason law into this country, although •
warm friend to civil and religious liberty. He repeated his
well-known opinions reliance to the admission of the Jews
to parliament, and from this point lapsing into a pious vein,
he expressed an opinion that to do so would be to offend
God, for in his opinion God dealt with the temporal con-
cerns of nations according to the measure of their allegiance
to Him, and inasmuch as He had scattered the Jews over
the face of the globe without the power to legislate for
ihttestlves, he (Mr. Newdegate) held it to be unfit that
dry should have the power to lirislate for England. The
MN, gendsenan, in conclusion, again thanked his friends,
ami essened them of his determination to do his duty.
Mr. SPOONER, in returning thanks, went over the same
ground as his colleague. Ile denounced free trade as clap-
trap, and Maynooth and catholicism.. Mined too

After Lord John Scott and Sir George Chetwynd had
addressed the electors, the new " knights " were girt with
swords, and the election proceedings terminated.

E. DAWES, leg., prosonted idniseff, amidst the 'vehe-
ment cheering of the mew& owl, en seen es order was ob-
tained, returned thanks for Ids reeeption. He said he had
not come forward so much to state his political principles,
for they were well known to them, having been laid before
them in his printed addresses ; but he had come to render
them an account of his stewardship, sad to ask them for

their opp inks of hie conduct. (Cheers.) They had sent him
to parttemest • perfectly independent man, and so he had
t octet He had supported Lord John Russell's adinini•
titration geneselly, but he had voted against him twenty
or thirty tames— so that .he wee not that thick and this
supporter of his lordship he wee charged with being.
He had not given a vote without having well con-
sidered whether it wee for the interest of the
eountr and whether it would meet with their approval.
He hiW 'voted against the continuance of the window tax,
which the tones supported on the third reading of the bill
for its continuance. He had *govern free trade, and was
ready to support chencery and law reform. He was a friend
of the ballot, which Col. Harcourt repudiated, but which
he knew very well was practised is all the clubs. With
him (Mr. Dawes) the ballot was • necessity of life, for with-
out it they could not put down the cruelties that were in-
flicted upon the de;:endent voter. (Cries of " Never," and
cheers from the crowd.) With respect to education, he
desired to have it universal, but it must be accompanied,
by the Wile. (Cheers.) He was for obtaining church re-
form, and reducing the salaries of the bishops. He wu for
the abolition of the ecclesiastical courts, and having eccle-
siastical business conducted before the judges of the land.
He was for the abolition of the malt tax, as in-
dispensable to the farmer suffering from free trade.
If returned to parliament there should not be found a
greater friend to the farmers than himself. (Laughter.)
Among other reforms he shou'd advocate was the abolition
of rotten boroughs. The hoe. gentleman proceeded to
attack Col. Harcourt as an aristocrat, at which great uproar
ensued, and several interpositions of the sheriffs to get him a
hearing. He concluded with expressing his confidence of
success.

Col. VERNON HARCOURT came forward amidst
cheering, and uproar and hissing. He claimed to be
heard on the score of the farmers, but he was also
determined to be patient, sad would remain till they
listened to him. (Cheers.) He came forward on the
principles of conservatism to preserve the Queen upon
the throne, the church, the Houses of Lords and Com-
mons, and the noble institutions under which this country
had risen to be the greatest country in the world. He was
totally opposed to the indiction of a corn duty, and would
oppose it, but he knew that Lord Derby would not propose
it. He himself, if seat to parliament, would go nnpledged
—for, though he was an admirer of Lord Derby's prise'.
pies, no member ought to go to parliament the mere ser-
vant of any minister. He could not pledge himself to
insist upon the repeal of the malt tax, until he ascertained
that the revenue of the country could bear it. lie would
not propose the repeal of the Maynooth grant, because a
grant was guaranteed at the union.
A number of questions were put to the candidates, and
having been answered, a show of hands was taken, which
was greatly in favour of Mr. Dawes, when a poll was de-
manded, to take place on Thursday and Friday.

NORTH NORTHUMBERLAND.
Yesterday the nomination for thin division of the
' county of Northumberland took place in the Market-place,
Alnwick, in the presence of an immense concourse of people,
drawn together from rarious parts of the extensive district
by special trains. The High Sheriff, Mr. T. W. Croster,
of Croster-tower, presided; and after the preliminaries
were gone through, Mr. Ord, of Nunnykirk, rose for the
purpose of nominating Lord Ossulston, but from the in-
cement hooting that was kept up by the crowd, not
a word could be heard from the hon. gentleman. Mr.
B. Burrell, of Brown-park, met with a similar reception.
Sir Walter Trevelyan nominated Sir George Grey amid
loud cheers. Mr. P. H. Selby seconded the nomination.
Mr. 0. Creswell nominated Lord Lovaine ; Mr. John Cook-
son seconded tke nomination. They also spoke in dumb
show. Lora Ossolston was also hooted. Sir G. Grey was
received with loud cheers, and delivered a telling speech.
Lord Lovaine met a similar reception to Lord Oseulston.
When our despatch left the show of hands was not taken,
but there was no doter: it would be largely in favour of Sir
G. Grey.

FLLNTSHIRE.
The nomination of candidates for the county of
Flint took place yesterday. The recent member for the
county (the Hon. E. M. L. Mostyn) was opposed by Mr.
Edmund, Peel of Bryn y Pys, on the tory interest, both
parties having, by themselves and friends, thoroughly can-
vassed the county. The nomination took place at 10 o'clock,
when each candidate was attended to the hustings by a
large array of supporters.
The High Sheriff having read the writ, Ike.,
Sir Jona HANIIIIL, the recently elected M.P. for the
Flintehire bosoughs, proposed the Hon. E. M. L Moetyn as
• fit and proper person to represent the county. The hon.
member dilated at length on the advantages of the liberal
policy, and the unvarying support which Mr. Moetyn had
always given to that policy; and contended that the real
question to be decided was, whether the country was pre-
pared to return to protection under Lord Derby or not.
Sir 0. W seconded the nomination.
Mr. Jona Weaxe Errow nominated Edmund Peel,
Esq., of Bryn y Pr, who, though not prepared to vote for a
repeal of the corn laws, would support Lord Derby's ati•
nistry generally. He was anxious, by • fair and just revi-
sion of taxation, to equalise the burdens now pressing par-
ticularly on the agricultural interest.
Mr. P. D. Cootie seconded the nomination. Mr. Peel came
forward for the relief of the agricultural interest, and, in-
deed, should he be returned, as he confidently anticipated,
he would devote his whole time and attention to the promo.
tion of the welfare of all classes of the people.
Mr. E. PEEL, in addressing the electors, claimed their
suffrages as being a supporter of Lord Derby's adosioistra-
tion. Ho was a protectionist in conviction, and though he
saw the impossibility of a return to a duty on eons, should
do all he could in forwarding every measure for the relief
of the depressed agriculturist.
The Hon. E. MOSTYN was received with loud cheers.
He said that ever since he had been a member of parliament
he had been a reformer, and during the 21 years in which
he had been their representative had given his vote and in-
fluence to even. wholesome measure of reform which had
been introduced. He expatiated upon the present prosper-
out state of :be country at large, illustrated it from official
and statistical returns, and declared his full determination
to support the policy by which that prosperity hid been
caused. At the same time, he was prepared to give his
most serious attention to every beneficial measure which
might be brought forward, predicting that Lord Derby
would have a flourishing majonty in the new parliament.
The show of hands was declared to be in favour of Mr.
Mostyn, and the polling was fixed for Thursday and
Friday.
