((Loud applause.) I think I can account for the whole of
the ekerie. of this town, with the eampuou of 120. There
are 120 electors, as nem as I can Jodie, who have declined
to give any dirc:sive answer, bet from the favourable

Now, it becomes the duty of every comfit la Espies&

that is not the practice. Ti landlord mhos his

tradesmen of this town dues the same. Than is a

therefore, one of the tint things you should say to any por-
tion who seeks your malice* is, "Will you vote tor the
ballot? If not, you shall not hare my vote." You should
all insist upon your members voting for parliamentary re-
form and the ballot, fur every man who pays rent and tame
should have a vote in the election of members of parlia-
ment. Sw Charles then proceeded to point out same objec-
tions to the navigation laws, the timber duties, and the
Militia Hill introduced by the present government, in simi-
lar terms to those which have been already reported, and
concluded by mean rationing the meeting to use their et-
most exertions to return to parliament two tried men,
assurine them that if they selected his and his colleegve,
they would do their utmost to regenerate and basalt
the borough of Yarmouth. (lie retired amidst loud ap-
plause.)
Mr. W. N. Dranocons pointed out the inconaisteacies
in the public conduct of Mr. Rumbuld, of whom he had
been one of the political supporters, and appealed to the
meeting whether that borough ought to return Mr. Rum-
bold and Sir E. Limn. or Sir Charles Napier and Mr.
M'Culiagh. After alluding to the part which Mr. Rum-
bold had taken in reference to the application of the Health
of Towns Act to Yarmouth, he pointed out the superior
taints of Mr. M'Cullagh to their suffrages, and concluded
by proposing that nine cheers should be given for that gen-
tleman. The meeting responded to the call.
Mr. M'Crut %UN said all he could say was, that if they
trusted him with their interest in conjunction with his
venerated and gallant colleague, he would not wait until
the termiestion of parliament helms he would surrender
to them the trust they hail reposed in him, if they
should think he hail not properly nichaired it, but if they
should be at any time dasatiefied either with what
he had Joue or what he had left undone, he would
replace is their hands, freely and without reserve,
that responsibility which he would then be unworthy
to retain. U. thought, however, that if he be-
came their representative he should have his rights at their
hands, at the same time that he acknowledged they had
their rights and obligations at his. lie wee not base or
mean enough to tell them that if he was coireieatioesly
eons 'in;eil that any course of action was right, they
would be able to coerce him or to drive him into any
other course which hie omacienee told him was wrung.l

the latter of whom his past issued .in address, expressing
hi. determination to come to the poll, having previously
canvassed every elector.
NoRTII LINCOLNIIIIIRE.—The peaceful little mar-
ket-town of Epworth, which is about 12 miles from Gains-
borough, was, on Thursday, the scene of one of the most
estraurdinary ri•ts in the annals of English electioneering.
Even Donnybrook fair, in the midst of its hottest confusion
could hardly eqql,l the affray at Epworth. It bad been
announced that Ilk three candidates for the North Lincoln-
shire di. James Banks Stanhope, Esq., the Right
Hon. R. A. Christopher, and Sir Montague Cholmeley,
would address the electors of Epworth and its neigh-
bourhood from hustings erected in the Market-place.
Although all three candidates profess to be protsetMnista,
and opposed to the grant to 31synooth, party feeling rims
as high among their respective adherents as if they were
divided by. much wider difference of opinion. It is
alleged against Sir M. Cholmeley that be is the nominee of
a free-trade neer, the Earl of Yarborough, and that he
almost invariably supported the late free trade administra-
tion, for which reasons it is sought to displace him by
a candidate in whom greater cosfidenoe can be placed.
On arriving at Epwoeth on Thundey afternoon, the respec-
tive parties took up their positions on and around the him
tinge erected in the Market-place, and Sir Rbt. Sheffield was
about to open the proceedings by • few words in tamer of
Mews. Christopher and Stanhope, when loud and re-
peated • ails were made from the Cholmeley side of the
'miming*, that the hones on which 200 or 300 of the other
party were mounted ahead be taken away. This not
