candidates to represent the county of Middlesex in the new
parliament, took place on the lusting, erected in the Mar-
ket-place, Brentford, the Sheriffs of London end Middlesex
(Aldermen Haut and CONDOR) presiding as returning
caws. There was an utter absentee of anything like excite-
ment. Scarcely more than fifty persons occupied the
hustinp; while in front the attendance was confined to
about 160 to 200 labourers and mechanics. Ten o'clock
had Amok, and the proeeeddngs had commecond before the
two candidates and l►te sitting member*, Mr. Ranbury and
the Hai. Mr. Byeg arrived. They drove up in open car-
riages, each drawn by four greys, sad were Mowed by a
couplet:4 four-in-hands. The usual fmmalities having been
hurried through,
Mr. Sheriff CONDOR, addressing the few working men
present, said—" Electors of the county of Middlesex, whom
do you choose to represent you in parliament r A voice,
amidst much laughter replied, " Mr. Hain."

Mr. 0. HOARE nominated Mr. Hanbory, who would be
u math the representative of the working sea u the elec-
tors of the county.

Mr. /AYES MONTGOMERY seconded Mr. Banbury's no-
nitration with much pleasure, because he had falsified as
pledges in parliament, nor had he neglected the Interest of
the working claws, and he was awe, If re-elected, Mr.
Hanbury would still uphold the canoe of the people, and
advocate strict neutrality in the war. (Cheers.)

Sir Wita.t.sm CLstr, Batt., proposed the Hon. Mr. Dyne,
and In doing so confessed he was at a kes to loam wby this
&solution had takes place. The late parliament was skated
only two yens ego, and than bad been nothing is its can-
dad t, jam* its disruption, ezec?t it Wars that it bad es-
lamed to support her Majasty's prment administration. No

doubt the government were desdrous of having • good
working nujcwity; that was, • majority whicdt
would support them whether they were fa the right or the
wrong, but he believed tele general election would convince
them that the days of party government by a good working
majority were at an end. (Chums.) By the spread of in.
Woad= through the press the people bad themselves be
oome directly participators in the proceedings of parlia-
meat, and in future that government could only
hops for mopped whose messures were acceptable too
and for the good of the country. (Cheers.) The
candidate he was now proposing had shown Mann, and he
believed would continue to be, the unflinching advocate at
deli and religious liberty. Be would uphold that consiiime
don which had secured to no peace, prosperity, and content.
Unfortunately, in Europe, a wanton end unseceseary
war had already commenced, and he wee coofident that Mr.
Byng would raise his voice against England's taking any
part in • struggle which appeared to be only that of
contending despots, who had resorted to ho ellitiee simply to
decide which should have the largest 'herein the mkgovern-
meat of mankind. At the wee doe be was no lees mutate'
that him hon. Mend would .1 that the country was put is
oust a state of dereoce as to be prepared for any eventuality.
and th►t betas so he hoped the deckles of Middlesex would
amour with him in thinking that Mr. Byng,
like his late tether, was a fit and proper person to represent
Middlesex In perliament. (Chew.)
Mr. PHILIP LI BRITON seconded Mr. Byng's nomiea•
Goo.

Mr. Pittman' came forward to nominate the nut can*
didate, contending, in definite of some intim* that it was
the duty of Middlcser to strengthen Lord Derby's Mathis-
nation In the existing serious efigill both at home and abroad.
He believed that the late reform bill was a honed mese"
and however ranch it bad failed, ft entitled the Government
to rapport for having made a vigorous and well-intentfoind

efforao wale the question. ("Oh, oh.") Mr. Haig come
forward as a candidate who was anxious to uphold the Crown
against Amerioanised institutions each as were advocat:d by
Mr. Bright, and the electors of Middlesex had to decide
whether they would stand by a constitutional government
we Ade with those who were urging on the country to revolu-
tion. (Cheers.)

iiOEATIO DAY seconded Mr. Haig's nomination, ag
be had arrived at the conclusion that this dleaolution bad
bra brought abont by Lord John Russell's greediness for
office. (Oh, oh.) He respected the Ista members, but they
bad voted for the cowardly ballot, and mina he felt that no
acia was entitled to the franchiae who was not prepared to
vote openly, be had no alternative but to support a oon-
Nineties administration. (06, oh.)
There ban no other candidate,

Mr. liosteuae addressed the ejectors, stating that if re-
elected, he should go to parliament prepared to support ha
Majesty ant theconstitation; bet while he did to, he should
agitate for reform in the reposeentation of the people. He
voted spinet the late Reform Bill, because it did not come
tip to the wants and demands of the age. Its oely good
feature was contained in that part of it which
gave the 101. franchise to counties ; bet, on
the other hand, that advantage was coun'er-bleneed
by other provisions in the bill, each as that which trans-
ferred the vote of the 40s. freeholders from comities to
boroughs. (Cheers) The bill appeared to him to have
been drawn up out of regard to the I. rritorial, and not the
commercial interest of the country ; whereas the time had
armwhen both trade and the worting-closes must to mote
haply represented In parliament. (Cheers). He wee not ea
oat and out ballot man; he did not think it was celled for in
bliddlemx, but there were counties where intimidation was
carried on to a frightful extent, and under those circum-
stances ter thought the ballot ought to be made a permissive
end mot a compulsory measure. (Cheers.) He had also
arrived at the conclusion that justice to dissenters and the
intermit of the established church /dike demanded the lames
dints sad total repeal of church rates. (Cheers.)
With regard to the war, be was glad to me
that the country was determined to insist eon a policy et
non-istirventin and etrict neutrality. (Hear, beer.) Ni
doubt our gym' ethics bad hitherto been in favour of Set-
dente ; bet latterly Beadles had bees ill-advised; end he
expected the time was coming when she would rain the cry.
"gave me from ray friends." (Cheer..) Meaner.

to show that world that the honour of old Ear
laad could not yet be attacked with impurity; aid
providing the tale. two efficiently and comumnically spent,
he believed the jee would submit to almost any sacrifice
for the sake the hansm, and interest of the country.
(Chien.) Having ezpree.ed a hope that the new govern-
ment of India would encourage the circulation of the Bibb
in our eastern empire, he, in conclusion, declared It to be
his belief that the time wits coming when the rich mut
would help the poor, and the poor man love the great.
(Cheers.)
The Hon. Mr. Bravo sent addressed the e'e:tore. He

In the negative. (No, no.) He would prove it ; as yet the
government had only pined 17 new emu, but how had
fined them ? (Hear, bear.) They were sated to
her Majesty's present advisers. Upon what ground? Wan

General Peel ? No, bemuse that right hon. and gallant
general had been looking mere alto the electionoince he had
obtained two seats by promising to build a barracks at Ber.

then to support each an administration. (Cheers.) He

suppurtpeace at home and a policy of divided coticel
and non-intervention abroad. (Cheers.) His object would
be to obtain such a reform as would arena and improve the
great measure of 1832. (Cheers.) The or, so doubt, was
the momentous topic of the day. Our sympa.hies in it could
not be with tyrannical Austria—much less could they be
