Crerry the tory metobe: s, were invested with the sword
whit distinguishes knights of the shire. amidst the cheers
et their respective supporters. and Lee d Ed ward Cavendish,
whose seat Mr. Gregory has taken. and Mr. Scott. the un-
eueceerful tory candidate, were herded in like manner.
TI e hot excitement that had hitherto been felt coded
down with the clove of the pea. Prubably there is no
county in England where the "no popery" cry has been
talked more fanatically than in this part of Siren. The

districts have )sea flooled with literature, both pictorial
and prosaic. that has frightened them with the prospect

pep:nese, amongst the Sussex liberal,. Brighton espe-
cially ha- been found wanting. On the afternoon of the
pot ng iley, when things leaked as black as they well
mould for both of the liberal candidates, Mr.
Dodson (co it is rail) consulted the register, and pro-
ceeded on the moment to Brighton, out et which he
managed to wring enough lagging voter,' to secure

A Voicc—What shout Gladttone?
Mr. Doree.s—l'll tell you what about Gladstone. The

United Huigdorn. From the valleys of the south, the
busy hives of our manufacturing industry in the north.

the (entre, the tarots, the mines, the loom and the forges, a
utriverral cry has gore up that Mr. Gladstoneis the man
to whom our inter eta are to be entrusted. (Low! cheers)
A dwirion in favour of the liberal policy has been heard
everywhere—flow Roman catholic Cork, from Orange
Belfast. from the maiden city of Londonderry. from the
presbyterians of Scotland, mil from the nonconformists of
England; and this has been re-r reseed from Land's-cud
to John o' Grost's house—from Connemara tr., the shores
of the German oc-eut. (Prolonged ebeeriag.)
The tory candidates also returned thanks—Mr. Gregory
