The election for this borough passed off very quietly
yesterday, there being no opposition to Sir Robert Peel and
Captain Townshend. The town, beyond the display aroma
flags and bvancn, gave no indications of any popular de-
Ineastration.
The usual formalities basing been gone through, the
MAYOR (W. Knight, Esq.), after a speech of some length,
Galled upon the electors to proceed to the business of the

Kr. Bautat.t. ta propoung Sir Rabat Peel, said he
was salmtma the sea of one of the mating statesmen that
the woad over produeod, and at the elan time one of the
greatest bee:dation with which this eneantry was ever
blessed. (Chars.)
Mr. W.Rostneow seconded the emalsatioe, and ex-
a ho that the commercial policy of the late Sir H.
reard hop
might long be continued.
The Marna—lf any gentleman has another candidate
to prepare, now is his time. (" We'll have no other.")
No ether candidate being proposed, Captain Townahend
and Sir Robert Peel were declared duly elected. (Cheers.)
Captain TOWNSHEND, in aeknowledgiug the honour
saaarred upon him, alluded in no unfriendly terms to the
late opposition got up against him, and spoke also in the
highest terms of Sir Charles Clarke, who was announced as
his opponeat. He (Captain Townihend) agreed with Sir
tifoleawarth in his description of the character of
Lord Derby, and as for his Chancellor of the Eichequer,
he considered him entirely destitute of political principle—
in feet, a political MIIWWOrIfI. (Cheers.) He cordially thanked
them for the honour they had underfed upon him. (Cheers.)
Sir HOBERT PEEL was received with loud cheers, and
in the first place alluded to the peculiar position in which,
as one of the principal echos in the scene before Inns, be
was then placed. The hon. baronet proceeded to give a
sketch of the last parliament, and to the revolutionary
mania which during that period overswept the Continent
of Europe, and defended the usurpation of Louis Napoleon
in France, who, he contended, was elected by the voice of
the people, and which he (Sir R. Peel) considered to be the
voice of God. (Chute and disapprobation.) It re-
mained for the country to decide whether they wished
for an advancing- or • reactionary policy. They could
not remain stationery. (Cheers) Much," said the
hon. baronet," had been said of the cheapness of
the necessaries of life. To what we, that attribut-
ebbe ? Free trade. (Cheer.) By whom was that policy
inaugurated in parliament.?? Hy my father." (Great
cheering.) The hon. lamiuet concluded by eapressilig his
devotion to the interests of the borough of Tainvrorth, and
thin withdrew.

A vote of thanks to the mayor was then carried, and the
crowd dispersed.
There appeared to be a general complaint among the
electors of the absence of the usual ceremony of "chairing."
Sir ltobert Peel, almost immttlietly utter the election, left
Tsmworth for Drayton, awl the town resumed, in a few
hours, its usual quiet.
