Provost Deans of Jedburgh nominated Sir H. F. Dario ;

KENDAL.

The nomination for this borough took pinta yesterday.
Thompson Bindloss, Esq. proposed Mr. Olio, and the
nomination was seconded by John WidtwoA, Esq. No
other candidate being afterwards proposed, the mayor de-
clared Mr. Olyn duly elected.—Mr. Olya then stood
forward and said that, connected as he was with the com-
mercial bonnets of the country, he would always giro his
hearty support to such practical measures as would be found
calculated to unshackle the trade and maaalaslawas of the
country from oppressive fiscal restrictions; and woad, at the
same time, relieve from unequal bunions the irdeultural
portion of the community. He should endeavour to moan-
ciliate from existing disabilities and the operetion of the
ecclesiastical law all there who dissented from the doctrines
and government of the church establishment. As regarded
the plans already propounded for giving education to the
people he would be found an advocate for finch comprehen-
sive measures as would include in them jump to all deno-
minations of Christians. With respect to Ireland bethought
it was not right that the industry of England should he
made tutocrvient for the support of the population of that
country ; nor was he prepared to vote for the payment of the
Roman Catholic priesthood out of the national revenues.
He declared himself the advocate of an extension of the
elective franchise.

LYNN..

The election for this borough took plus yesterday.
E. Evened, Era., proposed Lord George Bentanck, and
Mr. R. Bagge seconded the nomination. Mr. W. Sep.
pings proposed Lord Jocelyn. Mr. F. Get:smell seconded
the nomination. It was expected that a third candidate
would be proposed, and Mr. Vincent, the chords*, made his
appearance. Shortly after the mayor had declared the two
noble lords duly elected, Lord George Beatinck rose, amid
a storm of cheers and: groans He proceeded to defend the
policy he had pursued in the House of Commons with
regard to the corn-laws; and to review the policy of Sir
Robert Peel on that subject. The noble lord than
proceeded to impress upon the meeting the counts.
tency with which he had advocated the opinions
the enunciation of which secured their suffrages, and to the
possession of which, for seventeen years, he attributed that
knowledge of trade and commerce which enabled him
to reach and maintain his present celebrity. The noble
lord then said that Sir Robert Peel, in adopting the mea-
sures of Mr. Cobden, ought to have adopted the man, and
for his part he preferred the honest radical to the men
who had shown themselves of doubtful polic7. He stig
matized the late government as an organised by
their adoption of Mr. Cobden's opinions kept thatP geesw347
I man from office, and Lord Jocelyn's adherence to Sir Robert
Peel had tended to that result. Lord George proceeded
to rally Lord Jocelyn upon this adherence, and which
he &lid his loyalty, in wierificing his consistency to keep
Mr. Cobden out, and himself in office. The &mine in
Ireland had no bearing upon the commercial measures of
Sir Robert Peel, and ought not to have been pat forth as
an excuse. Lord George quoted statistics to prove this
assertion. Had he chosen to occupy the condition of a
courtly slave, he might have been a good deal more thought
of, but he preferred John Bull independence to servility.
He had been seventeen years in parliament, and so long an
public men remained true to the principles they advocated
upon the hustings, he was content to give his silent and
humble vote ; he had ne favours to seek ; be had newer naked
one ; they had been offered, but invariably declined. (Laud
cheers.) It was only when be saw the needs and
privileges of the constitutional bodies of England vlskied,
that he roes to indignation, and took a part that, up le list

proceeded :Fable ofu artiki
poor law, with same of the harsher provisions of vrTds he
had disagreed ; for instance, that separating old couples in
the workhouse, although past 60 years of age. He then passed
on the suspension of the navigation-laws a most unquali-
fied condemnation, saying that the owners of small
foreign vessels were the parties who derived the
benefit, to the exclusion of the same elms in this country.
After speaking of the effect of the Bank Charter Act,
which he said he should exert himself to have repealed,
Lord George passed on to local matters, and to the rivalry
which had existed between himself and hie noble competitor.
He then alluded to the question of religion, and said that he
did not shrink from avowing his opinion on the Roman
catholic endowment. His only objection to the Maynooth
grant was the pitiful amount, and if he had been in parlia-
ment on its first introduction he should have voted for the
other sum propoeed of a quarter of a million. The funds of the
Roman catholic* had been taken by the sword and bestowed
upon the protestant church, and while he was not prepared
to restore to the catholics their temporalities he was prepared
to support the grant to Maynooth education.—Lord Jocelyn
succeeded, and entered into a long defence of the policy of
Sir Robert Peel, and his own adherence to the right hon.
baronet.—At the conclusion of this address some recrimina-
tion ensued between the supporters of the noble lords, as to
the course adopted with regard to Lord Jocelyn's offered and
afterwards withdrawn resignation.

LBEDB.
The declaration of the result of the election was made
yesterday, on Woodhouse Moor, by the mayor. The friends
of Mr. Beckett and Mr. Marshall attended in large numbers;

shall Ulf niembess to serve the borough in
the semi* Hamad. Mr. Bodkin steed forward to
return thaelm, He the leas of his late eollsegue,
Mr. Aldan, who had been • valuable and easiest repre-
sentative, and one who wee much respected In the House of
Commons. It might be asked, " Who had redacted him ? "
It was tot for him to answer that question ; bat be wield
say that it certainly was not the blues; it was net Mr.
Marshall, because he would not have wished fora seat if
Mr. Aldo= had been allowed to retain his. It might
also bo asked why the blues had supported Mr. Mar-
shall in preference to Mr. Storge—why they had at.
tached the orange to the bluer It was because Mr.
Marshall was a Mend to the connexion between
church and state, because he was • friend to the universal
education of the people. Their hands were therefore clean
as to that matter. If it were asked why they wished to
I oontinne the connexion between church and state, he would
Mate that they wished to keep the church and the crown
uoder one sceptre. Some 700 years ago there was a man
named Beckett, who was Archbishop of Canterbury. He
wished to each the church above the throne, but he was re-
sisted, and he lost his life. It was to prevent such wean.
tions that they wished to retain the existing state of things
in that respect. At this eisetion the blue party had exerted
a positive sod nests:l'l4lmm. By the positive power they had
selected him as their representative, by the negative power
they had rejected MeSturge, as the man whom they least liked.
Mr. Marshall was greeted with groans and catcalls from a
small section of the Seirgeites who had planted themselves
immediately before his compartment of the hustings. It was
difficult for thou who stood within a few paces to collect the
whole tenor of his remarks, but he was understood to thank
the constituency for the honour they had done him. He
entertained no doubt that the opinions which he entertained,
and the sentiments he had avowed, were entertained by a
large portion of the constituency; end it would be alike his
duty end hie pleasure to carry them out by his votes in the
legislature.

MACCLESFIELD.
The nomination took place on Thursday,. Mr. J. Stan-
eliffe proposed Mr. Brocklehurst, and Mr. C. Condense
seconded the nomination. Mr. T. Brodrick proposed Mr.
Orinnditch, and he was seconded by Mr. W. Barnett. Mr.
W. Putts proposed Mr. Williams, end Mr. J. Wright
seconded the nomination. The several eandidates addressed
the electors briefly, each setting forth his views on general I
politics. The show of bands was declared to he in favour of
Messrs. Williams and Orimaditeb. Mr. Stancliffe, on behalf
of Mr. Brockleburst, demanded a poll.

M A LDON.
The nomination for this borough took place yesterday. Sir
John Tyrell, in nominating Quintin Dick, Esq., one cf the
late members, mr re-election, said no one would tell him that
Mr. Dick had not very consistent pretensions to the position
of their representotive, because, with all the well-known
ability of Mr. Leonard, he defied hint to point out one prin-
ciple which Mr. Dick had advanced from the hustings and
failed to carry out in the House of Common". Mr. Leonard
might be thought a consistent liberal, but there were those
old enough to remember that when he was in parliament he
was one of the most able advocates of protection to agricul-
ture—tke pivot-man of Lord Western. It was true he
might since have had rumen to alter his mind, bat
would he carry his free-trade principles so far an
to remove the duty from tea, soap, and such other
articles? (Mr. Lenard: Yes, I would.) (Loud cheers.)
Mr. John Bygrave seconded the nomination.—Mr. J. 11.
Benison proposed, and Mr. J. R. Rickards seconded, Mr.
David Waddington, deputy-chairman of the Eastern Coun-
ties Railway, as the second conservative candidate.—Mr.
George May proposed, and Mr. Edward Bright seconded,
Mr. Leonard.—Mr. Dick said he bad supported the ss stem
of national education as proposed by the government, but
never unconnectod with religion' instruction. (Cheery.)
The income-tax he had always supported ; though, had he
consulted his own interests, he should have taken some other
expedient. He was favourable to the repeal of the malt-tax,
and in local matters, especially the Malden railway, he had
done his utmost to promote the interests of the borough.—
Mr. Waddington said he had been taunted with knowing
nothing but railroad making ; but he had no fear that he
should win bis spurs in their service, and that he should
fairly earn a character an a statesman. As regarded their
local interests, in electing him they would have a man able
and willing to benefit them—cue who not only possessed the
desire but the means of advancing the prosperity of the
borough ; and they might believe him he would advance it
to the uttermost. Mr. Lennard's address was chiefly de-
-1 voted to a powerful satirical commentary upon the senti-
ments expressed by Sir John Tyrell, Mr. Dick, and Mr.
Waddington. He declared himself to be favourable to free-
dom of trade, and, with regard to religion, he no longer
talked of toleration, but he looked for equality. The show
of hands was in favour of Messrs. Dick and Waddington.

MARROW.

The nomination for this lco;oiih took place y
The candidates are Mr. Williams, (conservative );
Clayton, (liberal) ; and Mr. K. Hampden, (eonservo.
tire) ; all of whom were duly proposed and seconded, and
a strong contest is expected. At the general election in
1841, when the same candidates were in the field, Sir W.
Clayton was returned by a majority of only one over
Mr. Hampden, and he was afterwards unseated upon a
scrutiny.
