He would go into parliament, if sent there, an opponent of
the present ministry. He did not know what they intended
to do; and he rather thought that they did not know them-'
selves. (Laughter.) But he did sot believe that they were
the friends of liberty, and he would oppose them. The
noble lord concluded by impressing his tense of the
honour Marylebone was about to confer on him, and his dr
termination to do his utmost to deserve • continuance of
the confidence reposed in him.
A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the business
of the meeting.
A considerable sum of money towards the election ex-
penses woe collected in the room during the evening; and
there is no doubt that the whole sum required will be
forthcoming without delay.

Yesterday evening a very crowded meeting of the '
friendsand supporters of the new candidate for thelorough 1,
of Lambeth, William Arthur Wilkinson, Esq., was held
at the Victoria Theatre; J. SEWELL, Elq., was in the
chair.
The CHAIRMAN said that it bad been urged for years !
that the borough of Lambeth had been only half repre-
sented, and that new blood should be infused into the re- 1
presentation, and that some sixteen gentlemen should not 1
be able to say that their former representatives should in
future be their members. (No. no.) A great portion '
of the borough bad determined that there should be
a new member, and that 18,000 electors should not be
worked at the will of 16. (" Hear, bear," and cheers.)
That gave rise to a requisition to dr. Harvey, bat the iso-
meat he started, the band of venom darted on him—("No,"
" Yes," and cheers)—and be had been bunted out of the
representation, and almost to d atb. (" He must be a man
of a weak mind, then.") (Laughter and cheers.) Edition
Mr. Ilsuey, they had selected a gentleman in Mr. Wilkin-
son who was not • man of weak mind—(" hear, hear," and
laughter)—and when he introduced him to them, they
would see that he was not only a man of strong mind, but a
tried man. (Cheers.)
Mr. WILKINSON then came forward, and was received
with most vociferous cheering. He said they had met for
a very serious purpose, and he trusted they would give him
a patient hearing. (Cheers.) Seventy-two hours before,
he bad no notion of occupying his present posi-
tion. Ile had thought, taking a distant view of
affairs, that Mr. Harvey's chance of being returned was
hopeless. From this he was aroused on Friday, by the
arrival of a number of Mr. Harvey's supporters, who ex-
plained the circumstances in which that gentleman was
placed, and which had led to his resignation. They showed
him, and their statements had been borne out by subsequent
invutigation, that • large number of electors of the borough
had been dissatisfied with the late repres^ntatives.
(Cheers.) On Omit ground only was it that he bad the
slightest pretensions to appear before them, fur be professed
opinions in the main identical with those of their late repre-
sentatives, and any o position to them on that ground
would be presumptuous, and an unnecessary disturbance of
the borough. But when be was told that a large majority
of the electors would have supported Mr. Harvey if there
had been a contest, and that any other gentleman
would meet with the same support, he did not
think it unbecoming in him to endeavour to sup-
ply this want of the electors. (Loud cheers.) It had ban a
common complaint against the large metropolitan constitu-
encies that they had nut equalled the expectations of the
country with respect to their representatives. ((treat
cheering) lie would take some other borough bssides
Lambeth, and looking to one of those boroughs
on the other side of the water, be saw a
gentleman of great oratorical powers who had
been returned by sheen the largest majority of
electors ever known, and he found that nobody attended
to him in the house. He could tell the reason why if be
chose, but he would not. (Cheers.) It was for the electors
to consider who wen the gentlemen who would obtain for
them that consideration in the house to which they were
entitled. (Loud cheers.) Allusion had been made to a
letter of Mr. Cobden's which had been placarded about the
borough, and which was an answer to a question from Mr.
Harvey, asking his advice. He would read what Mr.
Cobden said. (TM hon. gentleman then read the letter, to
the effect " that be could not interfere in the election of the
borough, for bow could he oppose the two sitting members
with wham be always voted in the same lobby.") That was
Mr. Cobden's opinion on the case as it was put to him.
(Cheers.) If he (Mr. Wilkinson) had asked Mr. Cobden
whether he should endeavour to put out two gen-
tlemen who always voted right, of course he
would bare said no. But supposing Mr. Cobden
had been told that a large portion of the borough was dis-
satisfied with their members for sme reason or other, and
was asked if he (Mr. Wilkinson) had any right to come tor-
ward, Mr. Cobden would have said that "was the bminees
of the electors and not his." (Loud eheen.) He did not
want to put them out, but if the electors did and gave their
votes to him (Mr. Wilkinson), they were to do as they
liked. (Hear' Mar.) If there was any chance of damag-
ing the cause they all held by his (Mr. Wilkinson) coming
into the field, he would have no business to do so. But
was there not danger as the other band ?—where two
liberal members did sot satisfy the great bulk of the *tutors,
, was there net some danger of a tory getting in. After refer-
, ing the meeting to his address for a full statement of his
opinions, the boa. redeems concluded by saying that all
be asked was so much feebearame as this, that as one person
mild sot satisfy everyone, they could take him as a whole,
and 'milder* him tabs panned of average intelligence
sad honesty of purpose, would consider him as a tit and
proper person to represent them in parliament. (Loud
cheers.)
A resolution was then sawed expressing satisfaction at
the address of Mr Waimea, sad pledging the meeting to
support him as a fit and proper representative for the
borough. An attempt was mode Meson an amendment by
• a person who came from the body of the meeting, but he

I been given to the chairman.

DURHAM.—Here aristocratic perversity is claiming
" the family seat." The candidates are Mr. T. C. Grainger,
who has so long represented the city, said Mr. Atherton, the
Queen's counsel, on the liberal side, and Lord Adolphus
Vane, in the interest of the " family seat." This seat, like
that of County Down, has cost the family "an immense
treasure ;" and all that Lord Londonderry has spent on it,
he looks epos as if it was capital laid out in a neighbouring
colliery—as smasthiag that ought to be reproductive, in
swelling the flintily importance, the family pride, and the
family insolmee. -Hence Lord " Dolly" (n guardsman with
itseasts, sad habit-, and morels, scarcely so elevated es his
ohm usually), is set up for Durham. Though what Lord
" Dolly" knows about politics, public &Bolts, or any ques-
tion that concerns the welfare of the community, it
would puzzle either papa or mamma to tell. At pre-
sent, all that is certain is, Mr. Grainger's safety.
The straggle is between a man of sense, a liberal, and a
gentleman, in Mr. Atherton's person, and the family
seat," for Lord " Dolly" represents a principle, not opi-
nions. By returning Mr. Atherton free trade will be
mem effectually seemed than by electing Lord " Dolly ;"
Ito addition, Lord Londonderry's trade in family seats"
em receive another check. But; freemen are weak, and
upper class conservatives even weaker, at Durham. Win-
yard has its attractions ; ballathcre " oots in the distance,"
sad before such influences Mr. Atherton has much to con-
emd. The greeter, however, his triumph should he break
them all down. He has the best wishes of all liberals.
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TEEL—Here the peculiarity is
that not even a Derbyite can be sound to disturb it; the
contest, then, is between three liberal.' and choose any two
of them Newcastle pleases, it will be well represented in
the next parliamera. Morpeth, too, is faithful to the liberal
cause as aver it has been during the last century ; but
whether Morpeth has to think its own convictions for this
fidelity, or the unwavering consistency of the house of
Howard, is a question not worth a pause to solve.
BERWICK. Berwick, having at last got in Mr.
H. Forger, a worthy representative, has adhered to
him with very creditable and encouraging fidelity ; and so
strong is the feeling of all the better classes in the
place in Mr. Footer's favour, that there can be little doubt
of his re-election. The second liberal candidate is Mr. 81a.
pleton, Lord Besumont's brother ; whilst on the other side
there are Mo. Campbell Renton, the present conservative
member, and Mr. Richard Hodgson, who formerly sat for
the town. And, except that Mr. Forster is deemed safe, no
man can safely predicate the issue of this or any other
Berwick election. The Berwick liberals ought to have
their eye on Mr. Hodgson, for if the Carlton Club has
funds to spend, be is just the man to have worried the tory
managers out of money. And, caught tripping in the way
of bribery, no better example could be made than punish-
ing him as he would deserve.
NORTH LANCASHIRE.—An influential meeting of
the friends of Mr. James Heywood, one of the present
liberal candidates, was held at Preston on Saturday. The
meeting was held in consequence of an announcement of its
being the intention of the conservatives to bring a second
conservative candidate forward for North Lancashire. Mr.
George Wilson, Mr. John Bright, Mr. Heywood, Mr. Fort,
Mr. H. Potter, etc., were nrceent. The meeting, after fully
considering the matter, determined in the event of another
candidate being brought forward (the said candidate being
in the interest of Mr. Wilson Patten's fiends) to start 'ne-
ther liberal. A deputation waited upon the chairman of
Mr. Wilson Patten's committee, and elicited that it was not
their intention to countenance any third candidate; but as
Mr. Scarlett's answer to the conservative requisition had
not been received, this answer was not deemed sufficient,
aed the meeting adjourned to Monday (yesterday.) It is
believed another liberal steeds a good chance.
LIVERPOOL.—Aa the hour approaches, the utmost
efforts an made on both sides for bringing forward the
respective parties in full strength, both at the nomination
sad the polling-booths. The fears which were at one time
entertained of a breach of the peace have now near:, sub•
sided; still the most vigorous precautions have been taken
to prevent any collision. The struggle will he a very
close ems.
Covrteray.—From information received in Bir-
mingham last evening, there appears to be little doubt but
that Mr. Hubbard has retired ; his place, it was said, would
be supplied by Mr. Dent, a merchant in London.
YORKSHIRE BOROUGH ELEcriorts.—This day, July
6, the nominations take place at Bradford, Halifax, Ripon,
Richnioed, York, and Scarborough ; those at Wakefield,
Huddersfield, and l'ontefract, to-morrow; and those et
Leeds and Knaresborenigh on Thursday.
WaRRINGTON.—The mayor was out of the town
when the writ was received, and a delay in fixing the elec-
tion necessarily occurred. The town council met and
elected Alderman Beaumont retuning officer in the ab-
use, of the mayor, who has fixed Wednesday at 12 o'clock
Itet the nomination. The only candidate is the sitting
Member, Mr. (freewill.
ROCHDALE.—Captain Ramsay, conservative, has
lesnad an address, and there will now probably be &contest.
Mr. Miall, the liberal, is said to be safe.
HULL—Thu four candidates, Messrs. Bramley
Moore and Lennox Butler, conservatives, and Lord Code-
rich and Mr. Clay, liberals, are all pledged to go to the poll,
which will take pima on Thursday next. Both parties are
actively imaged in preparing for the struggle, which will
be a sharp one. Very large numbers of the voters are as yet
unpromind.
BevERLEY.—At the last moment, a conservative
candidata has appeared in the field in the person of Mr. E.
Anchmsty Glover, of the Middle Temple. This gentleman
has addressed the electors with an exposition of -his senti-
ments. lie gays generally that he desires to relieve the
agrienband interest from its " unfair burdens," and Rakes
a particular point of Maynooth, upon which question he is
in favour of inquiry. The nontiastion will take plain this
day (Tusaday).
BEWDLET.—It is expected by both parties that
Sir Thomas Wilmington will have an easy victory over hie
antagosist, Mr. Senders.
_The agents of the latter (says a
correspondent) hays already gone to consie:erable expense.
Bewdley has brew cleared of its champagne more than
three times during his canvass, sail sae ease of bribery has,
it is said, already tuned up.

who coalesces with Mr. Waddington on the ministerial
interest, is a son of the solicitor to the Post-ones, and a
very young atm. is meant to fill up the void caused by
the withdrawal of Mr. Attwood ; but he is not at all

GLANOIKIANBIIIRE.—Sir George Tyler and Mr.
Talbot, both conservatives, are expected to be elected with-
out opposition. Sir George Tyler supports the Derby go-
vernment. Mr. Talbot says—"l hope it will be sufficient
for me to say that an anxious desire to promote your in-
terests, as well as those of this mighty envies, will be the
sole motive in leading me to support or opls.te the govern-
ment presided over by the Earl of Derby, in the event of
my being again your representative."

Oiroarminar..—There is no sign whatever that,
Lord Norreys having resigned, any candidate will be brought
forward to oppose the Right Hon. J. W. Henley, Mr. Har-
court, and Col. North.
Soria WILTSHIRE.—Mr. Sidney Herbert has
Gamed bin address to the sectors of South Wiltshire, in the
conies of which he says Unconnected with either of**
two great parties who have been engaged in a struggle for
power, I have given to every question at issue between them
an unbiased emaideration, looking only to the public good.
Should I again have the honour to be returned to parlia-
ment, I shall ante to the consideration of the subjects to
which I have alluded with the determination to resist every
attempt to encroach on the just powers awl attributes of the
different branches of the legislature, and to promote what-
ever appears to ma to be most conducive to the security and
permanence of our inailtations."
OLOUCEBTER.—A fourth candidate, it is now said,
is to be put in nomination on the day of nomination for
Gloucester, a Mr. Trotter, a resident of Gloucester, who is
very anxious to have the honour of representing the electors
te mrlianient. A great many electors are holding hack,
and it is Impossible to say what will be the result of the poll.
The town is unusually quiet, though many are keeping
holiday.
WORCESTER.—Mr. Ifuddleston, tho new candi-
date, is proceeding fast with his canvass, and addressing the
electors nightly. He speaks out decidedly in favour of free
trade. He says: I have seen the benefits of free trade ;
I have seen the comfort it has brought to the artisan; I
have sea, the solace it has been to the poor man..... 1 am
for the big loaf. lam for the cheap loaf, cheap tea, cheap
sugar, chino tobacco, and cheep beer." Ile also publicly
denied that he belonged to the Carlton Club, or that he was
pledged to any administration.
'

EitlGHllltf..—The contest for this count}' threatens
to be uuusually severe, a fourth candidate having been in-
troduced in the person of Mr. G. 11. Vansittart, of Beshara
Abbey. The requieitien was prisented to that gentleman
rather more than a year ago, for the purpose, of opposing
Mr. Pusey, on the ground that he had rendered himself
unlit to repri sent an agricultural county from having sup-
ported the free trade policy of the late Sir Robert Peel. The
farmers, or those by whom they are led, now that protee-
tion has been abandoned by the Earl of Derby and his
administration, seek to attack him for an imaginary sym-
pathy with tractarisaism and Roman catholicism. An
address has just been issued by Mr. Pusey,in which
he says Last year my enemies urged the ferm-
ent to turn me out, because I would not join
them in trying to make bread dear. I told the farmers
that they had better endeavour, instead, to grow more corn
by employing more labourers, which advice they know to
be true. Thie year, therefore, they bring a fresh charge ;
bat I take leave to say, I am at Arm a protestant as them-
selves, and as loyal to her gracious Majesty, whom God
preserve. It is not my (cult if I bear • name borne by those
who have lived before me for six hundred years in this
village of Berkshire, and whom I hope not to disgrace.
Ever since I became your member, I have had to struggle
against men who wished me to oppose every measure
brought forward for the good of the people. lhose same
persons now seek I. punish me for my independence; but
they will not succeed, gentlemen, if you act independently
too, for lam proud to know that the wishes of the welt-
informed and the hearts of the bumbler veters are on my
side. It is impossible for me now to canvass your votes,
but we have known each other for some time, and I rely on
the main body of the electors to defend me from these un-
fair attacks at the poll. I hope every freeholder will reply
to any attempt at dictation, • that his land is his own, and
so is his vote."' Mr. Robert P.droer has again addressed
the electors of this county, soliciting re-election.

NorrlNGnAm.—The greatest imaginable conster-
nation pervaded the minds of the whigs and whig-radieals
of this borough yesterday, in consequence of the fact be-
coming known, directly after the delivery of the morn-
ing mails, that Mr. Oisboroc, their favourite candidate,
had retired from the contest on the plea of illhcalth.
A meeting of the liberal party was held early in the
day, Mr. Thomas Close in the chair, at which a
resolution was passed accepting Mr. Oishorne's re-
signation, and regretting the illness which had in-
duced him to take that step. The names of
several gentlemen were mentioned as likely to supply
' the vacancy, but ultimately it was resolved that, it being
too near the time of the nomination to obtain a second
candidate, the liberal electors be requested to support Mr.
Strutt, leaving them to do as they pleased with their second
vote. While these resolutions were in the hands of the
printer, portions of the party proceeded to Mr. Sturgeon's
committee room to induce his friends to withdraw that
gentleman in favour of Mr. Strutt. This was refused.
Then an alliance was proposed—to act offensively and
defensively against Mr. Walter; but this also was de-
clined. In the meantime others of the party were trying
to negotiate similar terms with Mr. Walter, but with no
better success. The result very likely therefore, will be
that Mr. Walter and Mr. Sturgeon will be the successful
candidates, though many seem to think tnat Mr. Strutt's
position is far more secure than that of Mr. Sturgeon.
ABINGDON.—At present there is no sign of oppo-
sition to the election of General Caulfeild, a liberal and
free trader, for this borough. The nomination has been
fixed by the mayor for Thursday next.
NORTH iiANTS.—The Right lion. Sir Charles
Shaw L ten,,and Mr. Melville-Portal will doubtless be
re-elected, no opponent having yet entered the field.
Brall.—The statement to a London journal of Mr:
Blathwayte, of Dyrham-park, being a candidate on the
conservative side, with Mr. Whateley, Q.C., has caused
people to smile here, no one having the slightest idea of
such a thing. On Sunday a bill, signed by Mr. Blathwayte,
appeared, disclaiming any such intention. The contest is
between Mr.Whateley, conservative, Captain &obeli, R.N.,
one of the late members, and Mr. Minn, of the Western
Circuit, Liberals; end the polling will, in all probability,
be very close. Both parties appear equally sanguine of
IMMO&

EDlNiuntott.—The conveners of the District Com-
mittees for conducting the canvass on behalf of Mr. Ma-
caulay, met in Merchants' Hall, Hunter-square, on Friday
night—Adam Black, Esq., in the chair. From the detailed
reports given in, it appeared that Mr. Macaulay has already
two thousand pledged votes—which is between five and six
hundred above the number he polled in 1847. Although it
thus seems very difficult to doubt that Mr. Macaulay must
be at the top of the poll, let who may come next, the chair-
man and others Fires an earnest warning, which we would
here repeat, against any relaxation in effort in the face of
party relations so complicated and uncertain.—Scoesman.
ROCLIESTEB.—Sir T. Maddock, and the lion. S.
Vilifier', the new conservative candidate", it is said, will go
to the poll in opposition to the return of the late members,
Messrs. Bernal and Hodges.
NEW SHOREHAM.—A sharp struggle is antici-
pated. Sir C. M. Burrell and Lord A. Lennox stand again
fur election, and Mr. C. Pechell, son of Sir George Pechell,
the late member for Brighton, will contest the representa-
tion on the liberal interest.
ImeitsTsa.--Strong efforts are being made to pro-
mote the return of Messrs. Wilde and Palmer, the conser-
vative eandidater, and it is now believed that the conserve-
tire .will vote almost to a man.
GRANTHAM—The nomination for this borough is
fixed for Wednesday, and the polling for Thursday next,
when a strong contest is expected.
OuAT ORIMsI3T.—Tho Earl of Annesley, it is
stated, has met with cordial support at the hands of the
electors of this place.
LIBILFARD.—Mr. H. T. Hyde has addressed the
electors on protectionist principles.
PORTSMOUTH.—The election will take place to-
day. The returning officer, the mayor, will read the re-
script at the Guildhall, this morning, and then adjourn to
tholtuathige that have be.n erected in St. George's-square,
where the esstiidates will be named. As there is no oppo-
dile. to Lord Mooch and Sir F. Baring, they will be duly
oismsd. libmild a poll be demanded, the polling will take
plies tomorrow ; but of this there is no chance. The
dockyard sad public establishments will all have a half-
holiday, to-day, to attend the election
Alma= Bum/in.—We understand, says the
Myth filed Mad, that William Murray, Esq., of Monk-
land, has be requested to allow himself to be put in no-
Obillatielt for the Airdrie district cf Burghs ; but we have
not learned whether he will comply with the influential
seggesoo, or allow James Baird, Esq., the late member,
to walk over, after his somewhat recent hard fought and
scaly battle with Mr. Loch.
PERTIL—The Hon. Arthur Kinnaird has issued
his address soliciting a renewal of the confidence of the
electors of Perth. We presume there will be no opposition
to his return at the approaching election, as the electoral
roll and public opinion are much in the same position as
at his late suamaful contest.—PerthrAire Adrerhser.
CHIPPE4HAM.--Mr. Neold and Captain Boldcro
will have everything to themselves in this town.
Fiteme.—The oppositionsometimesinee threatened
to the Hon. Mr. Boyle having been withdrawn, there is no
likelihood of any contest.
MALMFABURY.—The contest is likely to be a sharp
one. Both parties say they have the strongest reasons to
ex Oct success.
MONMOUTHSHIRE.—The Marquis of Worcester
has notified the intention of Captain Somerset, who is at
the Cape with his regiment, to stand again for the eounty,
sad solicits his re-election. There is no oppeeition an-
seamed to the return of the gallant captain and Mr. Oct.-
vine Morgan, although an anonymous handbill ealls on the
freeholder to reserve their promises, as a gentleman will
come forward to solicit their millraces, to rescue the inde-
pendence of the county." The electors, however, have
been fully canvassed on behalf of the late members, whose '
re-election is pronounced unquestionable, even should an
opposition be started.
DovEtt.—Opinions are very much divided hem as
to the result of the ensuing election. It is generally sup-
