persons present, and the proceedings, though sot quite,
were slmost, as iiro7 as at the nomination. The winning

their friends the left. A good many ladles were present
ea the hustings.

The arsouncement of the numbers was reeeivel with
seve-al rounds of cheering, met by counter-Oleo:a. He
declared bla,ers. reek and Brodrick duly elochab
Mr. Pam who was received with vociferous cheering,
eine forward to ieturn thanks. Mid-Surrey had its local
as well as imperial intermts, and t them he should
sedessour to g.ve his hest attention. lie was very
thankful to be retuned in conjunction with Mr. Brodrick,
bemuse, while be should represent more particularly the
em.mt rcial interests. Mr. Brodrick would represent the
ro;!eceisional and landed interests of the county. He
that in any future election for Mid-Surrey ha
majority, large as it was. woild be greatly increased.
(liear hear, and cries of '• Oh, oh.") He gave his opp.n
rents every credit for being plucky to an intim:me degree.
V be ere from the liberal...) -Like Englishmen they stuck
to their gum, and ho was glad to say that he had nothing
to t omylain of them as fair and honourable opponents.
Mr. BIODRICI, in returning thanks, said that Olive-
aud-mhalf years of patient week and nearly live months.
of ineemant labour had at hot resulted in a triumphant
rams.. The appeal made to the constituency of Hid-
Surrey had been nobly responded to, and the effect of
the decision would be felt for years to come.
He totally denied the charge of undue influence which
was so freely bniught against the conservative party.
(Cheers and apron.) He should go to parliament as the
representative of a vad majority of the constituents as
regarded political subjects, but as the relpressetative of
the whole constituency in everything width regarded
their local interests. He would give no support to the
pokey of confiscabon— (cheers and uproar)--but he would
isfer no factions opposition to good meseuree, from which-
ever side of the house they might come. (Chem.)

Gocosoun on coining forward met with a good deal
of interruption at first, but on the representations of the
ANIL 'wended by Mr. Brodrick, he at length obtained
saistlting that approached to a fair hearing. Ito denied
eatirely that they Eal in the coarse of the contest shown
anything like the white feather—(cheers)—and not a
single act of theirs during the contest was in any way
allied to cowardice. Although they had not won the
seats tbry had at leant the consolation of knowing that
their failure would not in any degree affect the great
liberal majority. (Chaers.) Although llitd Surrey
had not thrown in its lot with the popu-
lar party, their majority up to the present
was 11,, and the result would be that before Christman
the conservative government would cease to hold once.
(Crt at I.proai).
Mr I.CDARIT next came forward, and amidst almost
eta 'need interruption thanked the liberals for the
creditable appearance they had made, and the manner in
which they had fought the battle. e expretseel his firm
rouvietii n that if the people had Ina complete political
liberty the result would have been otherwise —(oh, oh)—
but they never would have political liberty till they
bad the Wirt (A And universal suffer-
ing !") To complete their poliVeal liberty, the power
of lieees.ng mu-t be taken away from Vocal who
new poseescd it. (A Voice, •We want every-
body to know who we vote for.") He was more
Mir rad than ever of the necessity of protection after be
bad seen the manner in which the agricultural portion of
the ropnlation were brought to the poll, and after seeink
as he did at Reigate, people in mock-froths led up by
gentlemen in black coats and white neckties. (Great
uproar.) It was shameful to see freeborn Englishmen
influenced Le they had been, anti he warned the clergy
tort if the church became a political engine the evil world
'troll on herself. (Cheers and interruption.) He also
charged his 011 p Aleuts with bringing forward Mr. Nel-
son in order to create a division in the libe-
ral tamp. (so. no, and uproar.) Alt lough indivi briny
they bad been beaten, he rejoiced that the great liberal
moue Lad been triumi hart—(cLeers and groans) —and be
predicted that before long it would be saccaaful even in
this cci.nty. ((beer.)
