THE ELECMONS.

HARWICH.
RETURN OF SIR F. KELLY.
On Saturday Sir Fitzroy Kelly, the SoErik".
General, was elected without opposition to the seat fur fiah
borough, successive) y filled and vacated (bane ~.„his
causes), during the short space of 13 monthn, h Sir Jot,.
Robbouse, Mr. Thoby Prinsep, and Mr. Wipe= Craw-
ford. Nor is the present learned member's cam-lE6ll.kt;
the borough likely to be of a more enduring character. At
best he would only have held on till the end of the wane,
but while in the act of procuring his return fur Ilia:
wich the fatal termination of Lord Itendle,hnin's illness has
created a vacancy for the eastern division of Suffolk;

a view to the next parliament, Sir Fitxruy'a overtures foe
that seat were not very graciously received, the leadete

him the only man to their band, and the form of a mow.
lion, and his consent to offer himself as a candidate fer
East Suffolk, had all been gone through before even the
hon. gentleman appeared on the Harwich hustings; so that
thrt borough will probably see another— a fifth—election
even during the remainder of the present parliament.
Of the proceedings of the day, in which there wia very
little demonstration of feeling, a brief record will suffice.
Mr. noire's lIALI.R, auctioneer, and Nif. W. hilso.

Fitzroy Kelly as n fit and proper person to represent the
borough in parliament' and the Mayor (after coking if
there was any other candidate to be proposed) declared the
learned gentfeman to be duly elected.

he would glance for a very few moments at one or two of
those great question, which were at this moment agitat,„i
the public mind. The country was no longer divided into
the two great parties of wbig and tory, hut into two attar
parties, viz., the advocates of free trade, and Mae
who opposed the further pregress of that nygeta
He should probably be told that It was pm,
mature at the present moment to enter epos
that question, and that it was fur the next parliano of to
determine whether that system which had already advanced

affected both commerce and agriculture, so as tee du soo-

jects. (blur, hear.) But as the time must coney and that

question, in all its relative bearings, the it best (maiden-

corn-lawn, they were told that because 3,000,00 quarters
more wheat hail been imported in 18.-r0 than in 1316, that
the people of this country had of necessity coon that
quantity more bread than in the first named rear,
—but egotistical returns showed on the other Land
that the decrease in the growth of corn in this
country had been more than to the extent of 3,00,enal

Sold by the farmers of this country, it had led to be pur-
chased with British gold, and foreign growers had reaped
the benefit. (Rear, hear.) This was a matter apoa
which they would do well to bear in mind at the general
election, together with a due regard se to what men were
most likely to be able to advance their local int.re ts; sad
for himself, brief as his connexion with the borough would
probably be, as long as he should be able, or in a polities
to serve it, in a national point of view, he should feel him-
self bound, by every tie of gratitude, to do so. (Cheers)
The proceedings closed with the usual rounds of chews
for the new member, the mayor, end other popular fa-
vourites; and about an hour afterwards the hem. member
started far the Manuingtree station, on his return to town.

BODMIN. —ln addition to the four candidates
already in the field (Mr. We,lit Mr. Lacy, the Ilan. Cap-
tain ivian, and Mr. Henderson), two t,tocr gentlemee
have "come out"—Mr. Capel % hitcher-4 and Mr. J.
Sidney Smith, the latter twinge protectiuni it.
CHATHAM.—On Thursday evening a meeting, of
the electors of Chatham was held at the Ct, •t Arms Tr
vern, to receive a communication from the It'alat
Mr. Romaine, relative to his intention of retiring from the
mob st. Dr. Ely was called to the chair, :ad the larm
room was densely crowded on the occasion. Mr. Romaine,
after thanking his friends for their Kindness, and the sup-
port which had been offered him, Raid, from the experience
he hail had in the course of his canvas., be felt it to be to
their interest that he should make way for a gentleman of
more weight than himself; and after explaining the reasons
which had led him to this conclusion, he introduced to the
meeting, as his successor, Admiral Sir James Stirling, who
hail filled the office of First Lord of the Admiralty under
the late administration.—Admiral Stirling, in addressing
the electors, avowed himself an advocate of free trade.
Ilaving thanked his friend Mr. Romaine for intro-
ducing him to the electors, Sir James announced to then
his intention of commencing his canna; foithwith.—Lord
Mulgrave, who had been instrumental in introducing Mr.
Romaine to the electors, expressed his regret at that gentle
man's retirement, but said he felt convinced that in Sir
James Stirling an efficient representative would be found.
Thanks were then voted to the chairman, and after giving
three hearty cheers severally for Admiral Shr:ing. Mr.
Romaine, and Lord Mulgrave, the meeting separated.
CARDIGAN DISTRICT OF BOROUGHS.—Mr. Paste
Loveden has completed his canvass of these lenotighs,which
consist of Cardigan, Abcrystwith, Adper, and Lampeter,
with every probability of success, although a contest is not
unlikely, as John Inglis Jones, F:sq., of Derry Ormond,
has, in compliance with a requisition from some of the
I electors, come forward as a candidate on the conservative
interest, and has commenced a canvass, but from the pre-
ponderating influence of the families of Prysc and Powell
in this district, which they have always exerted in favour
of the literal side, there is but a very small chance of Mr.
Jones's ultimate success, even if he should go to the pod,
which is doubtful.
EAST CUMBERLAND.—The Carlisle Joarnalstatrs,
that an atti mpt is to be made by the torics to get up. it
the suggestion of Lord Lonadale, a requisition to Mr. S.
H. Head, soliciting him to come forward for Ent Cum7sr-
lead. The present members, Messrs. Howard and Mar-
shall, it is generally supposed, however, are secure of re-
election.
Evesnast.—The electors here are determined that
there shall be a contest, considering an uncontested election,
for reasons well known to themselves, a breach of their nue
stitutional privileges. A rumour is current that Mr. Rats
house, M.P. for Lincoln, is to be a candidate on free trade
and liberal principles. Sir Ilenry Willoughby is expected
to visit Evesham in a few days.
EXETRIL—It is understood that Sir Fitiroy kelly
it pledged to stand for Runt., in opposition to Mr. Diver,
notwithstanding he is gone to Harwich.
OREeNWlelt—The requisition to Mr. Chunk-is,
to allow himself to be again nominated as a canilidste
to
the representation of the borough of Greenwich, has hem
signed by nearly 1,300 ekctors' who pledge themselves to
use every endeavour to secure his election. Of this num-
' ber, we understand, above 500 persons voted on the last
occasion for Admiral Stewart, when Mr. Chambers eb-
rained 1,244 votes; and although the whole of the electors
who voted for Mr. Chambers at the late election hove not
signed the requisition, there is not one instance where any
otlection has been made to again vote for Mr. Chamber.
His cause is gaining strength daily, and his supporters are
working in his favour with real, activity,

SHEFFIELD.— On Thursday a

the i lectors to make whomever they would send to parlia-
ment "give bail for free trade." Oa being questioned re-
prime the ballot, Mr. Perkier said that six or seven years
age lie had voted for the peopadtion of taking votes in that
way. 11.31 'dace that he had come to the conclusion that the
'sub.:Anan of secret suffrages would not be judicious.
lit had therefore abstained hem voting on the question et
lately.all Mr. Roebuck introduced himself to the electors as
unchanged —a radical reformer—a supporter of toe ballot and
triennial parliaments the same as ever. A "vet" was made on
the I, amed gentleman about the Coppock affair, of which he
gave the following explanation " Previous to my election
ter Rath in 1111, my friends said, ' We could not return two
radicals, but we might return one if the whirs would join
us.' The whigs were then in office. Mr. Stanley, now
lon} Stanley of Alderley, was the Secretary to the Trea-
sury. I went to him, and told him what had occurred.
Hear, now, the feet, which has startled many people. ' I
am going down,' said he, to attend necessarily to my own
election ; correspond through certain persone—one of
whom (Mr. Roebuck continued) I will not name, because
there is no necemity to dreg names before the public—' but
at all events write to Coppock.' 1 wrote to Mr. Cop-
pock on the state of the town. Mr. Stanley applied to
Loral Duncan, and Lord Duncan came dawn. A
friend of mine, who knew what had occurred about the
misuses of Bath, said • few days before to me We
lave • private fund, subscribed to by many radicals as well
as othew, and we will send some of the money to bear the
cep n. aof the Bath election.' And that friend of mine,
knowing that Mr. Coppock would meet me on a certain
day, sei • Wire that to Mr. Roebuck ;' and I carried it
down to Bath, and it formed a portion of the expenses
that w, re necessarily incurred. Mr. Coppoek's name was
mentiened in the Mouse of Commons this year, and I then
said that Mr. Coppoek had not interfered in any election of
mine, and therefore I was not called upon to vote his expul-
sion from the Reform Club. I also said then, and I say now,
that neither he nor any other man would have dared to in-
terfere in toy election as he had interfered in the St.
Albans election. Now, I bad really and entirely forgotten
that 1 had written to Mr. Coppock, heave in reality I
lac wrdtcn to Mr. Stanley; the communication was with
rirri,ment, we wanting a whig candidate, and the fact of
My `avian written to Mr. Coppock had dropped out of my
mind." A gentleman, named 'reunite, who did not ap-
pear to be satisfied with this explanation, having, amid loud
deers and hisses, proclaimed Mr. Roebuck "a liar," pro-
pod s resolution to the effect that Messrs. faker and
Itoi buck were ant fit to represent Sheffield. Mr. Harvey
proposed end Mr. Fisher seconded the following amend.
meat—" That John Arthur Roebuck, Req., is • fit and
proper person to represent this large and important town
la parliament." (Vehement applause.) A show of hands
having been called for, nearly all present held op theirs
in faioLlf the amendment, which was declared carried
amid loud cheers. A similar amendirent was then put in
behalf of Mr. s'arker, but was declared lost. After a vote
of thanks to the Mayor, the meeting separated.
