Mr. BOW 81110NDS, Jan., nominated Mr. Ralph
Augustus Berea as a It person to represent the borough,
sad it was wooded by
Dr. Cowan, who that he a Jew to owe forward
to seek to rowed Ois oonetitnog was to_ place Woolf in

upon to decide la this malt tho gam and tondamaatel

or alma Chrietisaitze. He hoped that *ray man would
eke with him his conaiense le the poll, sad sot act from
mere party pompoms. He would cemolade with this exhor-
tation from Smipture, " He that heaoureth me, him will I
honour; and he that WOW me shall be despised."
flic timorous U. GOLDIMITD was greeted with loud cheering
sad hires, and was so ark latempled at times that he
could rely be heard through the howl atarpositioas of
the nayor. He replied to the Wisdom which in the opa-
lne Wenbe urged aphid • kabobs returned to rewind
the borough to parliament, and observed that eminent
Claistines, adding wised polatio, stateemea, alm•gymen
of the Church of Enema, end dissenterkhad restonnor
opinions la favour of the sangria of Jaws to the legis
lature, and quoted from a speech delivered by the late Sir R.
Peel in 18411, hi which that peat leader of the conservative
party stated that it wits ucheoomiug a Christian nation to parse-
oat, the Jews, by continuing to exclude them from parliament,
whilst they were called upon to exercise the functions of
other great and importsat offices In the state. This contest,
he remarked, was to be fought, mot upon political, bat epos
religions grounds, sad there bed been sought to be rand
against him an obsolete prejudice. (Cheers.) So far as the
electors were concerned, lati knew that the great majority was
in his favour—(oboes and upreer)—but the effort was made
to withdraw suppose from him in the ay of Christianity
being in danger. Unless he apparent. wen prepared to
condemn the thousands of their fellow Christians who had
supported the admission of Jews to_parliement, the sentiment
which had bra put forward by Dr. Cowan was many we
that could not be supported in any assembly of smielble
men. (Cheers.) The religions aspect of the piastre was
argued at length with great ability by the speaker,
and he contended that as both the houses of perkusest, mad
that, too, under a oceaurnave government, lisa removed the
remnant of disabilities attaching to the J ewe, it was too late
to raise the cry that they were not eligible to take • part Is
the legislation of the country. (Cheers.) After aselsring
himself in favour of an ekes/dos a the frandliket, of the
Octal abolition el the shush rates, and at the ballot, he caw
el ..ded by calling upon the electors to maintain the great
principle of civil and religious freedom by Wanda' him as
their member to parliament, (The boa. gentleman sat down
amidst cheering and groom)
Mr. Believe was loudly Wad, and droordent pores
followed. After replying to sans persona remarks of pre-
vious speakers, he went on to my that las should have been
much totter *Walled If hie ben. opponent had given them •
fuller expositios of his views apes well of the kakis
topics of ma dry. He coateaded that notwithstanding par-
liament had decided upon the admission of Jews, it was the
duty of constituencies to maintain the distinctive principles
of Christianity. It would be absurd, In the year 1300
fur him te state that they had no right to returns Jew to
parlhunent—(cheers and " we will")—bet all he argued was
that they would do wmag and sot unworthily. (Cheers end
upeose) There wee not • wonderfully wide difference be-
twee Dam upon political questions. People were not
aware that they had immtnenoed the year under an atmo-
sphere of prosperity. Owing to the Ira and wawa%
policy of the lam government—e' Oh, oh")—when the war
broke out between Prance and Austria, this country was kept
from being driven into that struggle, which perhaps would
have overwhelmed as in ruin and destruction. Af.the present
mannet, wok was the elasticity of our commeres, from the
pesos, that our imports this year exceeded than of former
yore by thirteen millions. (Cheers.) The funds were
steady, the rate al discount low, railway sham were
a grows, dividend then err, labour was well employed
whet, tikes, wee the goat wadies which they had to decide f
The only ay raised was that of civil ad religions liberty.
(Cheers.) He reiterant that it became their duty to stand by
their principles of Chi-healthy, and not allow theta
to be Woo wad by the return of one who did not acknow-
ledge Christianity. ("Hear" and uproar.) Mr. Benson
went on to discuss politics, end stated that he was
In favour of an extension of the franchise to 81., the Name
ea
proposed In the bill of the late government, but he could
not support the ballot, which he conceived to be a very =-
English mods of voting; and ea to chunk rates, their
abolitioe he was opposed to, but would like to see suck an
adjustment as would enable dissenters, upon their signing a
paper expressive of their conscientious objection to them,
to be relieved from their payment. He alluded to the
speech of Mr. Bright, at Birmingham, on Saturday, end
observed that some of the principles enunciated by him—and
especially the remark that working men should keep up their
argargantions for the paper of obtaining their poli-
tical rights—were unworthy of any statesman. (Rases
and cheers.) Mr. Benson observed, in conclusion,
that whatever might be the result of this contest, he
should be able to look back upon it with some malefaction,
sod act lath shams at having avowed hlsioelf as a Christian
and a coaservativs. (" Oh,' and Meese.)
The MAYOR took a show of hands, and It wa' declared to
have been in fever of Mr. Now A poll was demanded
for Sir Praia Ookhodd, sod it will opera at eight o'clock
this (Teseday)maralag, sad dose at four. Three cheers
were given for the mayor, sad the assembly, which was the
most uproarious for may years at • notamiloo, dispersed.

DURHAM.
The election at Durham, c Jneequent upon the ap-
pointment of Mr. Atherton to the office of doliator-General,
took place yesterday. Mr. Atherton MU returned without
opposition. In returning thaoks the hon. and learned gentle-
man said that he did not know more of the motets of the
*shiest than another men, but he did expect that when the
governmeat reform bill wee brought before parliament tt
would be found to be a straightforward and practical mea-
sure. He reitenited his opinions in favour of the

to a close this mimic's. The horizon of foreign politics did

Lord Jolla Ram& to act snowing this wintry to be a party

able teats we everted both in the selection of the pieces and
is their execution. The performance let evening was
wholly dramatic in character, and the performers appeared
upon the platform In stage costume. The first mere in-
troduced was the well-known comedietts, The Loam of
a Lover, the pleatentrieri of which elicited much laughter
from the audience. The part of the stolid Dutoh-
man was very well eustained by Mr. Cosgrove, Gaff
the correspond's( part of Gertrude alp eery carefully played
by Miss Lienis Howard. The second piers we a somewhat
heavy comedy, termed Charles King, which was brought out
at the Olympic Theatre leveret years since. Its authoress,
Mrs. Emilie Hoicroft, eastained the principal part on the
pent 00Cliii011. The period is laid in the reign of Charles
11., and the plot turns on the gallantries of the cone, with
a elosereernblanoe to the plot in Aiwa of the rook. I.a,
awes opportunity is afforded to the performers to appear
on the pliable in the gsy costume of ruffle( gallants decked
