THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 10, 1847.

Me Majesty lad Ism dhappolated in Lord Jobe Rovell's
effects to fans a govionsmemt.bod called upon him to re-form
hie, and barked his earths, he would resume his office / He
told Sir Robert that he yea mmelseed, I,oking upon the state
of affairs—looking at the preature on the country, and tak-
fraVehe whole matter babe cassideration, be felt bound, as •
man, to give his emusent to a total repeal of the corn
rws; lone he told him, at the rams time, that se to his
rarnalptioa of ales he most take time to consider. He
emsaulted only three person.,—time did not admit of his col-
malting more ; he consulted them separately, and told them
the case, and each of them said be could do no otherwise than
resume office. He then made up his mind to resume office,
and he was very much gratified at receiving, the morning
before he sent to Sir R. Peel to tell him he was willing to
resume office, a visit from an influential gentleman of that
county, Mr. Bailey, who approved of the course he intended
to take. He was then convinced that that course was the
'effect one ; and be certainly did not anticipate, Mr. Bailey
having told him se, that he intended to bring against him
is this county the weight of his great influence. As far as
he was personally concerned, looking to the state of hie
health, and to certain family matters of a distressing nature,
the resumption of office was anything but agreeable to him ;
hut, being convinced that the measure to be proposed was in
Its great outline one that ought to be carried, he resumed
office, and the public events which followed were well known
to them all. It was Sir R. Peel's desire, and it was his, to
make the thing as easy te the landed interests as circum-
stances would admit of. He took care that if they had free
trade in corn they should have free trade, as far as the reve-
nue would admit of, in other articles of consumption—that
the cotton manufacturer should have no power of keeping up
his protection, and that no interest should be unduly pro-
tected.
As far as the revenue was concerned, he could not
treat the matter cavalierly, and repeal at once 5,000,0001. of
corn tax, and 4,500,0001. of tea duty, and tell the minister to
find that MGR where he could, as his hon. friend would have
done. (Hear.) He had already said that he would net al-
lude to private matters, but he must say that the sending
round of that document in favour of his gallant opponent,
and which must have been against him personally, was rather
a sudden and carious proceeding (hear). and what had oc-
curred in his canvass made him think the proceeding even
more extraordinary than be did at first, because he had been
told by many electors that they :had been trepanned into
signing the document—that persons told them that he was
going to the House of Lords—that he did not mean to come
to the county again—and, in short, all sorts of tales were told
them to influence them to sign that document. (" Hear," and
" Shame.") Who told those stories, who fabricated them,
he knew not—whoever did so must have done so wilfully.
(Hear, hear.) A public man had quite enough to do to be-
have correctly, to do his best, and to defend his acts and
sayings—no public man could resist falsehood lad fabrica-
tion. (Cheers.) Up to the present contest, strange to say,
he had heard nothing as to his vote upon the Maynooth
grant. (Hear, hear.) Sir Digby Mackworth did not treat
the matter quite fairly when he said that the petition of
1,250,000 persons was disregarded by Sir Robert Peel. Why,
if the thing was right, they ought to disregard a petition
against it, whether signed by 1,000,000 er 2,000,000. If it
was wrong it ought not to be done at all, let who might ask
for it. The noble lord having entered into an explanation
of his vote on the Maynooth grant, a good deal of in-
temptien and explanation occurred between Lord Gran-
ville and Sir Digby Mackworth in reference to lt cor-
respondence between them on the Roman catholic
question, Lord °mentos complaining that Sir Digby had
not published a declaration, and Sir Digby asserting that
be had published the spirit of it. Lord Granville next
referred to the property-tax question, and said Sir Robert
Peel, in the imposition of that tax, was actuated by a desire
to set free the sources of revenue and the srurces of the
prosperity of the country, and at the same time to preserve
strict faith towards the public creditor. Then came the
question, " Were the corn-laws to be re-enacted?" The
poor had suffered much ; and, if the question were *eked,
he believed that nine farmers out of ten would say that since
the measure passed the price of corn had been higher than
they wished. He believed that the farmers desired only
a fair remuneration for their trouble, and fee the capital
they employed; and that they ought to have. (Cheers.) lie
did not agree with those who thought that the object of the
farmer was,to 'terve the poor. (Cheers.) When the price of
corn was too high, the poor suffered great privations. All
farmers suffered through the poor-rates. Lord Granville
then proceeded to criticise the addresses of Captain Somerset;
and he told his gallant competitor that his friends and sup-
porters were compromising him by making misrepresenta-
tions concerning' him (Lord Granville). They Lad told the
voters that he wanted to enclose Elmwood-common. Inti-
midation, too, was used. Many voters had told him (Lord
Granville) that they would vote for him if they dared to do
so, and a person named Luke, art overseer, who had strong
objections against him, had, in canvassing the lower claims
of voters on TreUick-common, said, that if they voted for
Lord Granville, and wanted relief, the overseer would take
care they should not have it. (Cries of " Shame .I.") If that
statement wee true, the person who had made the threat was
Indictable. After some further remarks, Lord Granville
concluded by saying, that be had always done that which
be thought his country required should be done, and if he
was now to be sacrid, the county of Monmouth should
never say ho had bartered his conscience for his convenience.
—Mr. J. Bailey denied that in the interview with Lord
Granville, in December, 1845, he admitted him to be right
in joining Sir R. Peel's cabinet. On the contrary, he reca-
pitulated to him what bad passed since 1841—told him that
the country was in a :neoprene state, and that corn ought
not to be admitted duty free when only at 555. per quarter.
Tka interview ended in his (Mr. Bailey's) saying, " I con-
solontieusly tell you I think it is not for the good of the
rzeu, and I, with my principles, must desert you."—
. Somerset reiterated his statement that Mr. Bailey
said he thought he ought to join Sir R. Peel. He also said,
" Your agricultural friends, probably, will be very violent
against you, hut you will have the mannfacturers with you."
—Mr. Bailey: I deny that in taro. The last words I mid
were, "If you will *ever yourself from Sir It. Pool and
those opinions I would go down on my knees to you."
Mr. 0. MORGAN having addressed the electors, Captain
Somerset said it was not because he was related to the noble
lord who avowed having changed his principles, that he was
to be debarred from offering himself for the county. Upon the
chow of hands being taken, it was declared in favour of Lord
O. Somerset and Mr. Morgan, and a poll was demanded on
the part of Capt. Somerset.

STAFFORDSHIRE (NORTH).
The polling commenced yesterday. The doubtful anuie
taken by the Duke of Sutherland has operated injuriously
upon Mr. Buller's prospects, as will be seen by the number'
polled. The great distance from the different polling places
to Stafford, and the absence of any railway communication,
rendered it impossible to obtain the state of the poll up to
the close; at the time our expresses arrived in Stafford (six
o'clock in the evening) the following were the number', as
admitted by Mr. Adderley's committee, but in many install.
ces the polls were up to three o'clock only, and the figures are
but slightly indicative of the result. They are : Braekley (L.),
1,910; Adderiey (C.), 1,867 : Boller (L.), 1,674. The returns
from Burton-upon-Trent and from Dn.:meter had not been
received, but it was expected that these would further re-
duce Mr. Buller's minority. There is a curious fact in con-
nexion with the polling yesterday, that at Newcastle Lord
Buckle y polled upwards of 200 votes more than Mr. Buller,
although only a short week has elapsed since the noble lord
was there defeated. The polling paned off quietly.
Viscount Anson, M.P., was exerting tunnel( greatly in Mr.
Buller's behalf. There are about 6,000 voters remaining
to poll.

SUSSEX (EAST).
Yesterday, the election of two knights of the shire to re-
present the eastern division of the county of Sussex took
place at Lewes. There was no opposition to the old mem-
bers, Mr. A. E. Fuller and Mr. C. H. Frewen, and butlittle
interest was excited. Mr. Fuller was proposed by Sir IL
Shiffner, and seconded by Mr. L. Shadwell. Mr. Frewen
was proposed by Sir C. Lamb, and seconded by Mr. J. Elli-
man. Both candidate. were recommended for their unflinching
adherence to protection at the time Sir R. Peel proposed hie
free trade measure'. !Mr. H. B. Curtels, M.P. foe Rye, ad-
dressed the electors, saying he appeared there to chum the
right of every elector to address the meeting, whether he
nominated a candidate or not—a right which had been de-
nied to Mr. Cox, at Chichester. He expressed his regret
that the liberal party in the county were disunited, so that
no liberal could be rope's.% with any clones of success, and
he would not bee party to a merely vexatious opposition.
, Mr. Cox asked the candidates if they would support
the ballot, and what they considered a fair trial
for free trade. .
that remiah Smith addressed the
meeting, contending t the malt tax and hop duty
ought to be repealed, and the farmer be allowed to
carry on his business without restriction.—Mr. Fuller mid
he would not support the ballot. —Mr. Frewen said he would
support it, if he thought it would do away with bribery and
corruption, but he did not think it would. With regard to
the trial to be given to free trade, he thought it would not
be judicious to attempt to restore protection till a great body
of the manufacturers were convinced that these tree-trade
measures were injurious to the country.—No other candidate
being proposed, Mr. Fuller and Mr. Frewen were declared
duly elected.—A persen in the crowd thereupon proposed
three cheers for free trade, which were forthwith given.—
Me. Fuller briefly addressed the electors, sayiag, be would
do all he could to repeal the malt tax and lessen the farmers'
burdens—Mr. Frewen also returned amnia. His opinions
on protection and free trade were unchanged, but be thought
the measure having tossed it ought to have a fair trial ; and
he read an extract from Lord G. Bentinck's address to the
electors of King's Lynn, to the effect that the farmers with
wheat at 464. a quarter, and his present burdens, could not
compete with the foreigner, but he would wait the com-
mercial and agricultural atmosphere was cleared. With
that opinion he agreed. Thanks were then given to the
undersheriff.—Mr. Cox said news had just arrived that Mr.
Cobden had been returned for the West Riding. Three
cheers were then given for Mr. Cobden, and the proceed-
ings terminated.

FORTHCOMING ELECTIONS.
CLONMEt.—The Solicitor-General, it is said, tried this
borough in opposition to Mr. -Cecil Lawless, but retired, as
he had little chance of making a figure on the poll.
DUBLIN (COUNTY).—The conservatives are threatened
with a sudden invasion, in the person of a repeal candidate.
There is much confusion in the camp of Messrs. Hamilton
and Taylor.
GALWAY (COUNTY). Accounts reached Dublin on
Saturday, of the death of Lord Dunsandle, whose eldest son,
the Hon. Denis Daly, was a candidate for Galway. Mr.
Gregory hasJuat issued an address to the electors, pronzielng
all sorts of local improvements, such as the drainage of
Lough Corrib, creation of a packet station, &c. Another
part is his "constant advocacy of civil and religious liberty."
It is not ualikely the Solicitor•Oeoeral will take the field,
with Mr. Burke, the other whig candidate.
TIPPBRARY.—Mr. Bagwell has retired, and it now re-
mains to be seen whether Mr. R. Collett will contest the

county. It is more than probable he will not, and that Mr.
Maher and Mr. Scully will be returned to-morrow without
opposition. Mr. Collett's hope leas, that be would have
slipped in between the contending liberals.
WARWICKSHIRE (NORTR.)—Judging from appearances,
this promises to be a contest somewhat remarkable in its
character. to addition to Mr. Spooner, Mr. Newdegate,
and Mr. Bracebridge, the Hoe, W. H. Leigh (son of Lord
Leigh) has announced that he intend, to contest the county
in the liberal interest. It is rumoured also that Mr. Dag-
dale will be put in nomination. The liberals are working
hard, and there is little doubt but that Mr. Spooner will be
defeated.
