THE ELECTIONS.

CORNWALL (EAST).
The nomination of candidates to represent the eastern
division of Cornwall in parliament, and their unopposed re-
turn, took place at Bodmin on Monday. The sheriff, Mr.
Nicholas Kendall, of Plasm, arrived at the Shire-hall at ten
o'clock. The usual forms having been gone thrnsgh, the
proceedings commenced by the shsriff requesting them to
name two qualified persona to represent the division in par-
liament.—Mr. Tremayne proposed, and Mr. Archer, of Tre-
luk, seconded, the nomination of Mr. Carew.—Col. Carlyon
said that the electors were well acquainted with Mr. T. A.
Roberts, as will as with his principles, and he had therefore
great pleasure in proposing him as the second candidate for
their ruffrages.—The Rev. D. Stephens seconded the nomi-
nation of Mr. Roberts. A few questions having been asked
and answered respecting- the questions
grant, the High
Sheriff declared Mr. Carew and Mr. Roberts to be duly
clectal to represent the division in parliament, when the
hon. gentlemen, in virtue of their election, were invested
with swords and spurs.
Hr. CAREW said, that the honour was great, and the re.
sponsibility great also, to be the representative of such an
enlightened constituency. Since his election two-and-a-half
years since, what great changes bad come over the spirit
of their dreams, They had little supposed that their
commercial ustem would he so soon reversed. He could
not but attribute these changes to patriotic and pure
principles, forced on by the wants of the times ; and for
which, had it not been for the strong views of the late
government thereon, he did not think that they would be
ready to sacrifice place and power. His own view was that
the circumstances had not been sufficient to justify the ex-
periment, an experiment only in the beginning ; and no
one would rejoice more than himself if it succeeded.

forward to thank the electors
Kr. Sumter, co coming
for having returned him for the nth time to parliament,
was received somewhat coolly. Having alluded to the great
change in the government by the whip taking office, he
spoke of the lisynooth grant as being decidedly opposed by
bin. His reason for opposing any grant to the Roman meth-
bee wu from the fact that SO years ago there were not more
*O4O &Min catholic chapels in England and Wales, while
st the present time the number was no less than 622. They
pomeered 12 colleges fur the education of their youth, had
upwards of SOO priests and 15 hiskops—a number quite auffi.
meet for small country like England—and they were pos.
timed of solficient funds for their priests without asking this
canary *grant money for the dissemination of their faith.
lc% ") Ile repressed his determination of supporting
native industry and the interests of the agriculturists, and
modeled by pledging himself to uphedr! church and state.
Lord BROOMS then stepped forward, and was received
with actlamstion. He was proud of the honour done him
by beim win elected to represent them in the House of
Commons: prowl, because it convinced him his past conduct
had ban consistent and in accordance with the major por-
ape of his constituency. He spoke of his votes in
favour of protection, and pledged himself to support
the British fanner. Ile was opposed to any mea-
sure calculated to spread Roman catholicism, and
alluded to his opposition to the bill introduced during the
put union by Mr. Watson, who, he would inform them,
lied been thrown out of his seat. That bill was brought
forward, and from its first appearance appeared to be a
measure merely to do away with statutes almost obsolete and
never practised, but under that cloak it was found to contain
what would have been highly dangerous to the protestant
church. Haying made some remarks upon the navigation laws,
his lordship concluded by begging the electors to allow him
to take his test in parliament unshackled, unpledged, and
unfettered. The hon. member for Buckinghamshire had
been mired upon what he stood, and had replied " upon his
head." He (Lord Brooke) did not presume to say his head
would be sufficiently strong to be relied upon with such cer-
tainty, but he would tell them he should stand upon his
principle+. (Loud cheers.)
A vote of thanks was moved to Mr. Whieldon, the high
sheriff. Upon the meeting separating, three cheers were
proposed for Feargus O'Connor. but the strong lungs of the
" farmers of England" speedily drowned the Imam of the
admirers of the chartist leader.
