THE ELECTIONS.

THE NEW CHANCELLOR
QUER AND EIS CONI

OF THE EXCITE-

The Right Hon. B. Disraeli has issued the follow-
ing address to the Weston of the meaty of Buckingham :
'Dentienwe.—Her idsiise:y having beets graciously pleased
to sell we to bee Majesty'. Privy Couueil, and appoint ma
Chancellor of the Beauties., I resign into your bands,
socarding to the salutary principle of the constitution, that
earn whisk you intrusted to me as your representative in
the How of Commons. But u I will not believe that the
favour of our sovereign can be any disqualification ft r the
confidence of her Majesty's loyal subjects, I have the
honour to Mato that on the 12th instant, in oar county-
kali, I shall again venture to claim your suffrages for
the high distinction of being your number in the
House of Cosmos. The late sebniniatnition fell to pieces
from interne! dimension, and not from the assault of their
opponents; and, notwithstanding the obvious difficulties of
our position, we hairs felt that to shrink (rein encountering
them would be to kayo the country without a government,
and her Majesty without servants. Our fintdaty will be to
provide for the ordinary and current exigencies of the psb•
lie service; but, at no distant period, we hope, with this
concurrence of the country, to establish a policy in con-
formity with the principles %Inch in opposition wo have felt
it our duty to imaiutain. We shall endeavour to terminate
that suit. of cLimat which, of late years, has exercised
so peruicions an induence over the welfare of this king-
dom ; to accomplish those remedial measures which
great prodsetive interests, suffering from unequal taxa-
tion, have a right to demand from a just government;
to cultivate friendly relations with all foreign powers and
secure honourable pram; to uphold in their spout, as
well as in their form, our political institutions; and to
incnue the efficiency, as well as maintain the rights, of
our national and protestant church. An administration
formed with these objects, mud favourable to progressive im-
provement in every department of the state, isone which we
hope, may obtain the support and command the confidence
of the community, whose sympathies are the best founda-
tion for a strong administration, while they ate the best
security for a mild goverumeoL—l have the honour to be
entitle. n, your obliged and faithful servant, 13. DHAKA ILI.
—London. March I, 18;i2.
The High Sheriff hen issued a precept for the
election of a knight in room of Mr. Disraeli on Friday
week, March 12. Contemporaneous with the issue of
the sheriff's precept, the editor of the Aykshury New
published an address from the pen of Mr. 'Disraeli
to the electors of Bucks, which rather surprised many
of the people, as the honourokle gentleman declares that
triennial parliaments and Tote by ballot must be given in
order to count net aristocratic ascendancy. Many of Mr.
Disraeli's own friends believed the oldie's to be genuine,
and were startled. The it is genuine cannot be questioned,
for Mr. Disraeli wrote it in 1133, and addressed it to the
electors of Marylebone. It is understood thst he will be
opposed on Friday week, and that it is possible this opposi-
tion may give rise to a poll.

ABERDEEN.—Wo stated last week that, in the
view oils dimilation of parliament, Sir A. la ith Hay had
come forward to solicit the votes of the constituency of
Aberdeen, in room of the prolent representative, Capt. A.
D Fordyce, who, at the same time, had intimated Ms inten-
tion of retiring. We have now to announce that Mr. (leo.
Thompson, jun., the late Lord ProviAt of the city, has
been induced, by the strong feeling in his favour of a large
and influential body of his fellow citizens, to offer himself
as their renresentative in parliament. llis political views
are liberal, or, as he himself stater, " those of progressive
reform."—Scorsmon.

COLCHEMTEL—The new writ for this borough,
consequent upon Lord John Manners's at eeptaueis of office
in the new administration, was received by the mayor on
Saturday, and the election immediately proclaimed fur
?bonds) next. At the same time the honourable ex-mem-
ber's address was issued as given below. During last week
: there was considerable activity among the liberal party,
the very "pretty quarrel" between a section of the conser-
vative constituency and Lord John Manners on account of
his Puseyite tendencies, appearing to offer au uonsually
favourable chance of successful oppte.ition. The result was
a deputation tu Mr. John Gordon ltelsow, a local Lindowner,
who, besides a rather extensive trailiug connexion in tho
town, would it was thought as a churchmen, obtain the votes
of some, at all events of the deserters from the currny's camp.
To the great disappointment of his friends, however, that
gentleman, though wishing to cuter parliament, declined to
come forward on the violet that it would place him in col-
halos with his friend Mr. Ilaresetle at the neat election;
so that for the preseat it seems likely that Lord John'. re-
turn will nut be opposed. The re are, however, overtures
from Admiral Sir Charles Napier, and Mr. Wiogrove
Cooke (who contested the borough with Lord John Man
nersat his election in 1310), and although the leaders of the
liberal party do not hold out much encouragement,
it is quite possible that the latter gentleman may
yet declare himself a cancidate. We append a copy
of the address imued by Lard John Manners:—
. To the Electors of the Borough of Culchest(r.—Gentle-
mew: An unfurs'seen event having deprived her Majesty of
her late administration, Lord Derby has been charged with,
and has accepted the duty of, forming another, on those
principles, the advocacy of which Rent nie two years ago to
parliament as your representative. In the prosecution of
Ins arduous teak, Lord Derby has thought fit to name me
for honourable office under the Crown, and her Majesty has
been graciously pleased to approve that nomination. I
have therefore to resign the trust you have committed to me
into your hands. I can honestly say that I am not con-
scious of having departed in my parliamentary career
from those principles which were m title to year
confidence in 18.0; nor do I believe that the
ancient and loyal borough of Colchester will hesi-
tate at this momentous crisis to mark its confidence is
Lord Derby's administration by entrueing again to my care
the honourable duty of representing it in parliament. To
maintain the rights and promote the effineucy of the na-
tional protestant church and resist the encroachments of the
See of home; to combine the preservation of all that is
'minable in our ancient institutions with those reforms
which practical wisdom shows to be requisite ; to reconcile
the now conflicting interests of agriculture and manufse-
, tures ; to restore prosperity and contentment to a ruined
or discontented colonial empire; to study the social ad-
vancement of the industrious classes, and to prepare the
means of national safety in the sad event of war, while
enient, earnestly to perpetuate the blessings of peace eon-
' statute the polity of the new administration. Gentlemen,
should such a policy be in accordance with your views, I!
venture humbly, bat with cootidenre, again to solicit the'
honour of representing in parliament the borough of Col
cheater.—l am, gentlemen, your faithful servant, Joule
Illsexxiu, 14, Cavendish-square, Feb. 28, 1312."
