Sir 1. C. Jaxvoise coincided with Mr. Dutton u to Lord
Palmerston, but defended centralisation, which he contended
meant crailiaation. He wee decidedly opposed to the ballot.
Mr. JOHN ELLIOT, a conservative, then addressed the
deem, asserting that the views expressed that day had
proved that the conservative views were the most
Mr. J. T. TeCKrn said he wee an advocate fur the ballot;
for, having canvaered the borough at different times since
1819, he believed it would be a most essential thing. Work-
ing men who were employed by conservative masters would
testify to this, and he wan gratified that they had two
candidates who would vote for an extension of the suffrage,
Mr. Dutton having mid he would do as Lord Palmerston did.
In the Douse of Commons there would be 440 liberal. to 208
comiorrativirs, and parliament would be sent to the right-
about soon on a new reform bill. lie advocated a largo ex-
tension et the suffrage, raking why a man who erected a
small mud oottago to the value of 24. a year should be
allowed a vote, when tho tenant of 454. a year was nut. The
ballot was ewntially required, and ho had seen men marched
up to the poll by the great landowners, like a tile of oldie's,
to give their voice. lie was sorry that both their caadldatsa
were opposed to the ballot. Church rates ought to be swept
away, and the country prevented from being continued is •
state of fermentation about them.
Mr. Serjeant GAMMEN said if Mr. Dutton war not a
liberal, he believed WIN to be half a one. He had been halt-
ing between two opinions, and if the county did nut secure
two liberals, they would at learnt secure one and a half. He
wars much matiatied with the manner in which Sir JerwAse
Clarke Jervoise had spoken, and though he differed from him
on the question of the ballot, he was willing to eink that
quration, and if they could not get an out-and-out liberal, to
get NA good as they could. The vote without the ballot was
frequently • delusion and a snare, a noisome and • curse.
Thu ballot would mitigate bribery and intimidation, but
becatara they could not get it, let them not revert to conser-
vative mearnires. lie thought they had done well in making
the arrangement by which one conservative and one liberal
would be returned, especially aa the conservative was inclined
to liberal views.

fieTD;;;llit rm, having declared Sir J. C. Jervoise
and )(r. Dutton duly elected, the proceodinge terminated.

EAST SUSSEX.

The nomination of two knights of the shire to
represent Last Suttees in parliament took place on Saturday
forenoon, in front of the County-hall, Lveos. Owing to the
unfavourable state of the weather (the rain falling us rapid
showers during the whole of the proceedings, which ooeupsed
above three Lours) the attendance of spectrums was not very
sumer°. , nevertheless, somewhere about 1,200 persons
were present from the opening to the close of the nommation.
There were four candidates, namely, A. E. Fuller, Esq. (the
tato member), Lots! Pevenaey (who had been very rmeutly
elected), J. G. Dodson, Req., and Colonel Cavendish.

The thou Suritivr (R. C. Pomfret, Esq.) having briefly
opened tho business of the day,
Sir H. &turn as nominated, and Mr. M. Scum' seconded,
A. E. Fuller, MR.
'llllr. 11171181 T =A Kr. Lewis StAawsur.
seconded, Lord Pommy.
Mr. J. W. BLIXCOWS nominated, and General Davith
seconded, J. O. Dodson,
The Hon. II :Basso, M.P nominated, and Mr. CRAW-
romp(Brighton) seconded, Colonel Cavendish.
The respective candidates then addressed the electors, but,
owing to the great uproar whieb prevailed during the chief
pert of the proceedings, they were very imperfelly heard.
Mr. lc Tx.r.N while referring to what had taken phoze re-
! costly In the House of Commons, said he had voted against
Lord Palmerston on Mr. Cobden's motion, from a hem eon.
‘ietion that ho was honestly discharging his duty to his eon-
, stituenta and to his country. If again sent to parliament ho
should pursue the save straightforward course as he had
hitherto pursued in attending to the interests of those whom
he wee sent to represent.
I.ord PEVENIINT neat addressed the electors at much
greater length. He condemned the policy of Lord Palmer •
*ton both at home and aimed, and remarked that the noble
lord had already add.d 0000,0001. of money to the expendi-
ture of the country. lie was an advocate for the reform of
all abuses, whether foreign or domestic; and should support
a reduction of the income tax, together with its entire aboli-
tion in 1060.

Mr. DiensON, in his address, said the conservative party
wore utterly unworthy of tho ..wmfidenee of any body of elec-
tor.. He was in favour of meraures of reform and social
impreeement, and would support Lord Palmerston and the
flntiah deg.
Colonel eAVTKDIRIt, in reply to being called " a 'granger,"
said he could with delight look bask to a long line of ances-
tors who had served their country in advocating tuelaures of
reform and he should, if returned, walk in their footstep..
He should endeavour to effect every improvement, but would
not pledge himself as the adherent either of Lord Palmerston
or any other statesman.
