duty to society in after life. In conclusion, he declared his
determination to maintain the honour of the country, end
to preserve the rights, liberties, and advancement of every
den of the community.
Mr. MILNER, was received with applause on rising to
address the electors. He said that he had been for four
years the representative of York, and that during that,
time he had constantly endeavoured to perform his any,
and to advocate those principles which he professed. 110
expressed his satisfaction at the sober and temperate manner
in which the election was being conducted, and then went
on to state the grounds on which he objected to the policy
of Earl Derby's government ; first, because he believed that
if that:nobleman obtained • majority in parliament, he
would in some shape re-enact the protective laws which had
I been destroyed ; secondly, because the Earl of Derby
I had pledged himself while in power to cheek the demo-
emetic feeling of the country ; in other words, that he
would not permit those representative reforms which were
so strongly desired by the people to he carried Into effect ;
and, thirdly, because he believed that the education scheme
which would be proposed by Lord Derby in the ensuing ses-
sion of parliament would not be of such a comprehensive
nature as to meet the wants of the great masers of the
people. Mr. Milner expressed his desire that the people
should obtain the necessities, and even some luxuries, of
life at as cheap a rate as possible; and said he was of
opinion that the great burden of taxation should he borne
by the owners of real property, instead of by the industry
and labour of the country. Entering into some statistics in
relation to this matter, Mr. Milner went on to express his
opinions in favour of an extension et the franchise to all
ratepayers, and a liberal system of education, together with
his disapproval of the Militia Bill, and concluded by some
remarks in favour of free-trade principli s. (Omen.)
11. V INC ENT. Esq., then rose amidst much cheering frem
his supporters. He alluded to the pleasure it had afforded
him to see the peaceable manner in which the contest had
hitherto been conducted. Ile declared his firm adherence
to the constitution and the country, and expressed his de-
sire to see that constitution improved and perfected, remark-
, ing that, from whatever party such measures and improve-
ments come, they should have his support. Ile stated his
adherence to the principles of free trade, which he said he
considered to be a settled question, sod he animadverted
, upon the conduct of Mr. D. Disraeli, who, while he had
forn.erly accused Sir R. Peel of stealing the clothes of the
whirrs while they were bathing, had cob red the grave
of Sir Hobert Peel and now sppesred In that statesman's
shroud._ _ _ _

The show of hands was then taken, and declared to he in
favour of Mr. Vincent and Mr. Milner, upon which a poll
was demanded on behalf of lie. Smyth, and fixed to com-
mence at $ a.m. tl.morrow.

The vast amemblage then dispersed.

BEVERLEY.

The nomination of two members for the borough
of Beverley took place yesterday (Tuesday) in the market
place in that town.
The proceedings having been opened with the usual for-
malities,
Dr. SANDWITII proposed, amid loud cheers, the nomina-
tion of the Hon. F. C. Lawley, as a fit and proper repre-
sentative of the borough.
Mr. Alderman BmultitTON seconded the nomination of
Mr. Lawley.
Mr. W. CaOBBKILL proiosed, and Mr. HoboNon' se-
conded the nomination of William Wells, Esq., of Holme-
wood, near Stilton, Huntingdonshire.
Colonel llcrraN,in proposing Edward Auchmuty Glover,
Esq., observed that though last in the field, he was confi-
dent that Mr. Glover was not least in the estimation of the
&elms. The gallant colonel spoke of Mr. Glover as a
gentleman who would support the religion and the institu-
tions of the country ; and while he would be found a care-
NI guardian of the interests of his constituents, would prove
himself to be • friend to the former, on a hose welfare the
prosperity of the town depended.
Mr. W. BAINTO3 seconded the nomination of Mr. E. A.
Glover.

The Ilon. F. C. LAWLEY then addressed the electors.
Redrew their attention to the circumstance that the verdict
which they gave that day would precede that of the ma-
jority of towns in England, and would, therefore, be re-
garded with no little degree of interest by the country.
The question to be decided by the present election was
one of extraordinary importance, and the electors of that
borough, in recording their votes for either party, must
remember that they were not pronouncing a verdict for
themselves alone, but for the millions of their fellow-crea-
tures who was at present unrepresented ; and what was
still dearer to them individually, their wisca and children.
(Cheers.) Ile urged them, then fore, to give their best and
USN serious consideration to the subject, and to discrimi-
nant, with all the powers God bad given them, between the
real and the unreal professions of those who offered them-
eless as candidates for their suffrages, between tho down-
/fight mid unmitigated free trader and questionable free
Wade, and between a sure, sincere, and constant friend and
* Maned and ambiguous foe. (Loud applause.) He
Willmilhes to remember that these Derbyites, who now
=free trade with such apparent enthusiasm, were
thee day the supporters of that system of protec-
tion to corn, which they considered essential to national
prosperity—thet on the Treasury bench they had been
suddenly converted to free trade; while when they occu-
pied the opposition benches, " protection" was their watch-
word and -their motto. (Chem.) Ile would not enter
into a detail of the large benefits which the country had
received from the introdtrtion of free trade. Thank God !
they were too well known, and too well felt, to need any
explanation. (Loud cheering.) He need not allude to the
fact that within the lost 10 years upwards of twelve mil-
lions of relief in the national taxation had been afforded to
our population, without occasioning the slightest reduction
in the amount of revenue. (Hear, hear.) Ile would not
insult their intelligence by demonstrating the absurdity of
• system of artificial scarcity, nor would he detain them by
proving—from the recent returns of the Board of Trade,
compiled they should remember, under a protectionist
government—that the country had, in consequence of the
Introduction of free trade, enjoyed unequalled prosperity.
(Cheers.) No one with reason could deny that the nation
was now in an unexampled state of prosperity, and he be-
lieved, therefore, that the reversal of a policy which had
produced such favourable results was almost impossible,
and that, if by any chance it were carried out, it would lead
to a revolution in the country. (Hear, hear.) He was
Mead, however, to acknowledge, in justice to his oppo-
nent/4 thit they had certainly, though perhaps rather sod-
Suely—(laughter)—espoused them principles of fres trade
which he (Mr. Lawley) stood there that day to advocate
and to advance, and the question, therefore' to be deter-
mined by the electors was reduced to the etesideration
