THE RIGHT 110 y. E. ELLICE AT ABERDEEN.—On
Thursday afternoon the freedom of the city of Aberdeen
was conferred on the Right Hon. E. Ellice, M.P. for Aber-
deen, who is at present on a visit to Lord Dalhousie, at
Reecho Castle. The ceremony took place in the Music-
hall, which was well filled by a most respectable assemblv,
about 2.010 being present. Mr. Ellice returned thanks for
the honour conferred on bin, in au address in which he
dwelt emphatically on the relations between himself and
his constituency ; their mutual independence, and the ab-
sence on their side of all suspicion of hie conduct, and on
his side of anything to give cause fur suspicion.
THE REPELNENTATION tor TOTNE.A.—Mr. Polder
is not to be allowed to take quiet and peaceable possession
of the vacant seat for Tomes. The coniervatives, as we
have already mentioned, have been engaged in negotiations
during the bat few days with a gentleman whom they
deemed an eligible candidate. This gentleman, it is under-
stood, has consented to be put in Doman...Lion, and his address
would have already appeared Lad not the forthcoming
candidate been suffering from a slight attack of
illness. He is well known in the commercial
world as the bead of the firm of Dent, Palmer,
and M'Killop, Chins merchnuts, of London cud Hong Kong.
Mr. John Dent iaturnol from China during the present
ilea!, and is, now desirous to obtain a seat in parliament.
about 43 years of age, and is, we need not gay. im-
mensely rich. Mr. Vender, accompanied by some of hia
chief supporters, commenced canvassing the electors on
Thursday. It is stated that this gentleman did not meet
with a very favourable reception among the advanced radical
patty. They hold that the succeseor of Mr. Mills should be
ready to vote for the abolition of church rates and the in-
troduction of the ballot, neither of which measures Mr.
Pander is as yet prepared to support. Oo the other hand,
the moderate conservatives, who might have been inclined
to support Mr. Pander in case no opposition were offered,
were deterred from promising their votes by • placard
which was posted extensively during the morning, and
which called upon the conservative electors to reserve their
votes. The advanced radicals talk of introducing a candi-
date of their own views, but it is scarcely likely that they
will find one who will be able to compete in wealth with
either Mr. Pewter or Mr. Dent. —Wade, n Morning Ner-c,
