sallow**, the nephew of Lord Fortescae, and luaus-
used usaiddere for Andover, would be put in need-
isdou ea liberal principle*. Mb report probably
usiduei as much as anything to the noisy cha-
rearm or the proceedings.—The sheriff (Mr. H. Chan:-
psenewne) having declared the two gentlemen duly elected,
Sir Thump Adead addressed the meeting, thanking them
for re-46db( hha. He reminded the that • government
with a national debt of 800,000,0001. was not in a state to
adopt the same measures, nor so soon, as one sot so encum-
bered. At the outset there was • necemary taxation of
30,000,0001. to pay the interest of that debt, and whenever
they came to judge of financial measures, he trusted they
would take that fact into consideration. Thera was no
longer any great dispute about free•tmde and restriction.
In reply to a question whether he was favourable to the
endowment of the Romish clergy in Ireland, he said it wu
not one to be answered off hand by any considerate
man, unless that man believed such a step religiously and
morally wrong. He (Sir T. Arland) did no: feel that con-
scientious objection—his conscience d:d not forbid it. Unless
he were much changed, he could not have that objection;
for in 1825 (the only occasion on which he remembered that
question being put in parliament with a view of settling it
justly fur Ireland and safely for England), he gave a dell.
berate and conscientious vote in favour of that endowment.
'Great cheering.) His general opinions on that subject

and other disadvantages neweign against a desire is render
that justice to which the Irish were entitled, and he would
be a very rash man, indeed, were he to say, without reserva-
tion of time and circumstances, " I am favourable to the
endowment of the catholic clergy." He believed, if ever
a fitting time should come, and both emuitries should be in
fitting mood, it would be conferring a great bounty on seven
millions of people, oa those who stood most in need of such
christian instruction, as they could receive without an un-
worthy compromise on either side. There was no sub-
ject which more deserved public attention than the
carrying out measures in parliament for the protection
of the health and life of the poor, and he hoped the
legislature would produce some useful acts to be put in
force by the inhabitants of the towns themselves.—Mr.
Buck stood forward to return thanks at a very opportune
moment, for a heavy summer shower cleared the meet-
ing of aunsbers, who, at a previous stage of the pro-
ceedings, had been most perserering in their interruptions.
In answer to an elector, who asked whether he was favour-
able to the endowment of the Roman Catholic clergy of Ire-
land? Mr. Buck said certainly not. But he would support
the government education scheme. He had never yet voted
against any measure to the advantage of his dissenting
brethren, but the demands of the Roman catholic; were in-
creasing steadily and stealthily, and nothing should induce
Dim to vote fir any measure which could by possibility
weaken the established religion of the country.—On the
motion of Mr. T. W. Harding, a vote of thanks was glean
by acclamation to the sheriff, and the election ended with a
dinner to the members, at which above 100 sat down, imme-
diately after the usual chairing.

DUBLIN (CITY).
The Sheriff was officially W declare the anal poll on Wed
nesday, with Reynolds and Grogan at its head. Gregory
threatens a petition, on the ground that the poll did not
take place until ten o'clock, instead of eight, with othtr
reasons.

DUBLIN (UNIVERSITY).
The Lord Chancellor voted for M'Culbigh and Napier.
" The straggle," writes our correspondent, " between Shaw
and the latter will he very close ; but the chances are with
the recorder. ht'Callagh will have polled nearly 400 good
men, almost all phimpers, and on a future occasion hie
success is certain. All praise him for the destruction of the
Fellow's compact,' which sought to convert the nail ersity
into a close borough. Yesterday Napier refused to split
with M'Cullagh ; now that the second votes would mate.
rially contribute to his success, be offers to influence his
friends and divide with M'C ullagh. The latter refuses."

DUNDALK.
The nomination of a candidate took place on Wednesday.
Dr. Coleman, not the very rev. dean of that name, but a
" medick," proposed, and Mr. Joseph Cortin seconded, Mr.
Id`Tavish. Mr. N. Martin proposed, and Mr. Hague
seconded, Mr. M'Cullagh. Mr. M•Tavish addressed a very
willing audience, and inter alia, denounced Mr. Rediogton
as "a liar, and authorised Mr. M'Cullagh to tell him so
with his (Mr. M.Tavish's) compliments." Mr. M'Cullagh
was not fortunate in securing the ears of the free men of
Dundalk, but he continued, amid clamour and interruption,
to deliver an impressive speech. The " show " being in
favour of the " popular " candidata, Mr. M'Cullagh de-
manded a poll, which was to take place yesterday (Fnday).

ESSEX. (SOUTH).

standing the first day's numbers, that Mr. Buxton will be

A'CourtHolmes (representative of the Wand in the late
parliament) nominated Mr. Simeon, and he was seconded
by the Hon. Augustus Moreton.—Mr. Wm, Sloane Stanley
proposed Mr. Fleming; seconded by Mr. Edward Way.—
The candidates addressed the electors. Sir R. Simeon avowed
himself as a free-trader, as friendly to the removal of all civil
disabilities, opposed to the endowment of the Roman catholic
priesthood, and favourable to the education of the people.
He was prepared to support the present government, so long
as their policy continued of the same character u heretofore.
He would not support the ballot or universal suffrage.—Mr.
Fleming declared himself a protectionist, and a determined
upholder of the protestant establishments of the country; in
fact, he is a " no popery" candidate.—The show of hands
was in favour of Mr. Simeon, and a poll was demanded for
Mr. Fleming, which was fixed for Monday and Tuesday next.

yesterday. At four o'clock Mr. Hodges stood second on the
list. The numbers will be found in another column.

been disturbed bi the unexpected presence of the chaplain
of Young Irelandisca, the Rev. Mr. Kenyon, who proposed
Mr. It. O'Gorman, jun. The rev. gentleman demanded a
poll,.bsqlhe result will prove fatal to the hopes of the ist-

pnetinbla.

the head of the government one in whose integrity and
ability I place the firmest reliance, and look to as a too**
sad a guide. Yet I shall still venture to claim for mt itlf
the right, I have heretofore exercised, of forming my own
judgment upon what concerns the interests of my conatitu-

was forthwith returned to his lordship by Mr. Osborne, who
observed that he could not owe his election to any coins:ion
with protectionist principles.
