THE ELECTIONS.
MATIT/MCONE.

The nomination of candidates to represent this borough in
the next parliament took place at three o'clock yesterday.
Mr. MOTENDEN proposed Sir Benjamin Hall.
Mr. SMART MOD ed the nomination.
Mr. KEMPSFIEAD next proposed Sir James Hamilton,
but such was the noise and confusion that we were unable to
hear a w ad he uttered.

Mr. CHAILLEN HIDE seconded the nomination.

Mr. JOHN WOOD recoma 113drd Mr. Serjeant Shee to the
electors, u a man of talent, posecasing a spirit of sterling
independence, and stigmatised the conduct cf Mr. D. W.
Harvey as disgraceful.
Mr. pAILN WA LL seconded the nomination.

Mr. Otto. DANIEL then, amidst the created uproar, Pro-
reed, and Mr. CASTLE seconded, Lord Dudley comb

Mr. Lon, loves proposed Mr. Owen, who wes se-
conded by Mr. Williams.
Sir B. HALL then come forward and was received with
loud cheers mingled with disapprobation. He said it was
the third time he had addressed the electors of hi arylebone
as a candidate for their suffrages; and he believed they
would return him again by a triumphant majority. (Cheesy.)
If he had any doubt upon the subject—if he did not be-
lieve that he could fight the battle of the liberals—
he would not have presented himself before them on that
occuion—(cheers, and great confusion)—but, believing that
he had • great majority of the constituency, he should rely
on their placing him in the poeition which he had twice so
proudly occupied. When he was first elected, he propounded
certain principles and made some pledgee , and he could
safely say that he had never swerved from the opinions he
had at first declared, or forfeited one of his promises. (Loud
cheers, and cries of "Absence," " You have neglected your
duty," " Where's Harvey ?" &e.) Because the liberals had
been treated unfairly by one who had deserted them, that
was a reason why they should rally around him. (Applause
and considerable uproar.) Well, he did not wish to detail;
them • he need only say that he relied on the put, and in-
tended to go to the poll. (Cheers.)
Sir Jilin HAMILTON was greeted with partial cheers
and loud disapprobation, which, being continued, rendered
the few observations he made difficult to catch. When,
silence could be in :some measure restored, he '
observed that he had but little to say, but he
would say it, if he remained there until the next
neerning. (Cheers.) He sppeared before them, at
their earnest request, as a candidate, and not from
his own choice. He was proud to say that the encourage-
ment which had been given to him was so great, and the
support he had received was so undivided, that he only won.
dered who his opponents would get to vote for them.
(Cheers, laughter, and great uproar, amidst which the re-
turning officer interfered, and begged the meeting would
allow Sir James to finish his address. Silence was then par-
tially restored.) If they returned him, as he believed they
would, he would do his beet to discharge the trust reposed
in him with fidelity; and he was sure that if he once got
into parliament they would not wish to turn him out again.
(Laughter.) If they did not elect him, why he could only
say that he should look blue, end that [pointing to his hat,
en which was stuck • large blue rosette] was ha own colour.
(Cheers and laughter.)
Mr. fierjeant Sues then came forward and said, I have
been now nearly two months a candidate for this borough,
land the worst that anybody has yet been able to say of me
' is, that I am an untried man. (Laughter). It is much
better to be an untried man than to be a tried man and to
be found wanting (cheers), to be a tried man and to be found
Ltfor nothing. Gentlemen, I come before the
ugh unconnected with any clique or any associatien ;
coming forward independently to throw myself on
the suffrages of the great body of the electors.
Conatituenmas of this description, consisting of thousands and
thousands of persons, ought to be represented, not by coun-
try squires sr scions of aristocracy, but by one of the people
like yourselves. My principles, I believe, are now tolerably
well known to you all ; I have attended 19 public meetings
in this borough. (No, no.) Yes, yes ; and at the whole of
these only ono hand has been held up against me—(cheers)—
and the man who held up that hand is now my warm
and kindest friend, and is to give me a plumper
at the poll. (Cheers.) You well know that so long as the
present government have the heart and courage to fulfil the
promises they gave when they were out of power, I am their
friend, but not a moment longer. lam for education with-
out distinction of sect or creed. (Cheers.) lam for an ex-
tension of the elective franchise for vote by ballot—every-
where except at Hall's Rai School. (Cheers and
laughter.) I am for triennial parliaments, in order
that it may never happen 'gun that at the end
of • member of parliament's lease, hie constituency
Et.not know him from Adam. (Laughter.) You
bly know that I am not a member of the nub-
' id church; but lam not an enemy to that church. If I
go to parliament you must not expect me to distinguish
rayed!' by an hostility to the church of the great majority of
my countrymen—(cheers)--and I should best show any
respect for her by taking care that sbe do no injustice to
thou who differ from her. I am opposed to church rates
being wrung from the pockets of those who dissent from
her—(cheers)—although gentlemen, I will support the
church of England in all 'her just principles. I cannot say so
much for the church of Ireland, which is one of the greatest
abuses that ever existed among a civilised people. On the ques-
tion of endowment I have not changed my colours, as if I
were a chameleon or a noble lord. (Laughter.) I have
stuck to my text, and I never was guilty of anything so ten.
worthy as to change at the last moment my opinions on so
important a question to get a few vote. The learned ser-
joint proceeded to say that he would go to the poll, and give
every man an opportunity of recording his vote, and he
would compel those who had promised him, that if Harvey
went out of the way they would support him (Mr. &siesta
Shoe), to record their treachery and apostacy. (Loud cheers.)
Lord DoDLET STVART next presented himself, and was
received with mingled cheers and disapprobation. When he
could obtain a hearing, he said they kad heard a long and
learned speech from the learned serjeant, who had a tine
voice, but he thought would sing small to-morrow.
(Laughter.) As to his opinions, he need hardly say that he
advocated civil and religious liberty all over the world ;
he was for extending the suffrage; for free trsde ; for
doing away with the window-tax; and he would pre-
serve their local rights. (Cheers.) He did not think
it was politically honest for the learned gentleman to divide
the liberal interest. He thought hint, however, an honourable
man ; but he believed he was labouring under a gross delu-
sion. He know that he could do himself no good, and he
might do him (Lord Dudley Stuart) harm, which, however,
was of little consequence. Bat he also knew that he might
do sontothing of more conesquom to the liberal cause.
(Chem) It was preposterous to reppou he should resign,
standing as he did second on the ballot. He should there-
fore go to the poll ; end he wished nothing more to the
leaned serjeant than that the result of the poll might be to
Mars two liberal candidates, and make the scales fall from
his eyes, an that he might at last see the delusion under
which he had laboured. (Loud cheers.)
Mr. ROBERT Owes then explained his political senti-
ments, and Mated that ha had come from America to lee
first, if any thing could be done foe Ireland, and then whai
could be eillmW for the working classes of this country.
He was ha flavour of a general system of education, and he
Mowed DNS every man who was ramble of working should
have awrielsest provided for him. Mr. Owen went oa to
'peek el wow length ; but the noise and confusion was so
great that we could not hear distinctly what he said. At the
ronaleeks et kk eddlealt
Mr. D. Satonone took a show of hands for each candi-
data, and declared the result to be in favour of Sir Benjamin
Hall end Mr. Serjunt Shoe. This announcement was
received with vociferous plena.
A poll was then de en behalf of Sir James ljanoil-
ton and Lord it end fixed for this morning,
the declaration to be Made on Monday. A great member of
hands were held up in favour of Mr. Robert Owen, but he
declined demanding. a poll. A vote of thanks having been
given to the returning officer, the meeting dispersed.
