BOLTON.
The nomination for the representation of this borough
took place yesterday. Shortly after ten o'clock about
Mtn* thousand persona were assembled, and the usual
preliminary business was gone through amidst much
uproar and confusion. No accommodation whatever
was afforded by the Mayor (Mr. J. Scowcroft) to
the reporters ; and that circumstance, combined with the
uproar, prevented their obtaining more than en outline of
what was said.—Mr. E. Ashworth proposed Dr. Bowring ;
Mr. R. Heywood, magistrate, seconded the proposition.—
Mr. P. Bothwell proposed Mr. William Bolton, spinner,
of Bolton, which proposition was seconded by Mr.

Knowles proposed and seconded Mr. John Brooks.—
Dr. Bowling, amidst cheering which lasted for some
time, came forward and addressed the meeting.—Mr. W.
Bolling, the protectionist candidate, next addressed the
meeting, but being at the other end of the hustings,
our reporter was unable to catch a word of the hon. gentle-
man's speech, so great was the tumult.—Mr. John Brooks,
the other liberal candidate, next addressed the assemblage.
The numbers holding up their hands for Messrs. Bowring
and Brooks could not have been less than ten to one when
compared with the number held up for Mr. Bolling. Yet,
notwithstanding this, and although there were few, if any,
who bad the boldness to say that Mr. Bolliagwas not de-
cidedly in the minority, the mayor declared tha names of
Mr. Bolling and Mr. J. Brooke as the succemital candidates,
amidst airs of " Shame !" Of course a poll was demanded,
end Dr. Bowring came forward, and, addressing hie friends.
mid he had seen many nominations of • dishemenrable and
disgraceful character, but none to equal than. But they
would punish their opponents at the poll, mad teach the
mayor that " Honesty was the best policy."

Mr. T. F. Gape. and seconded by Mr. .S. Story. There were
three new candidates, Messes. Craven, Wilks, and Raphael,
all of whom were proposed in due form, and they severally
addressed the electors. The show of hands was in favour of
Mews. Raphael and Wilks, and a poll was demanded in the
usual manner by the ether candidates. It is said that some
very extraordinary proceedings have taken place in con-
nexion with this election, and at appears quite clear that this
" immaculate" borough will not lose any share of its former
reputation on this occasion. The general impression is, that
Mr. Craven, the government candidate, has not the slightest
chance, and that the struggle will be between Mr. Raphael
and Mr. Repton.
