HACKNEY.

The nomination of the candidates for the new
parliamentary borough of Hackney took place at
noon at the buntings in London-fields. A large
body of police was present to preserve order,
party feeling in the district bein very warm and the
locality hi'torically notorious for scenes of violence.
Until within about -half an hour, however. of the time for
commencing few persons were assembled, and the spec-
tacle was perfectly quiet. The tint arrival
was that of Mr. Loma Webb, the only conservative
candidate. who came in an open carriii7e, with four greys
and postilions in light blue livery. When he appeared
on the hustings he was greeted with groans, derisive
laughter, and sundry jeering interrogatories, together
with cries of •No more lawyers," &c. Mr.
Homer followed soon after, his arrival creating
but little interest in the crowd escept among the
partisans of Mr. Dickson, who, on presenting himself, met
with a hearty reception from a strong body of supporters
in front. Mr. Reed was very cordially and generally
welcomed. By this time the gathering had bocome
very large, amounting to several thousands, and an occa-
sional fight or scuffle amid the densely-packed crowd en-
livened the view from the hustings. Mr. Holies and Mr.
Butler, who were last to appear, were received with little
demonstration.
Mr. 11. Child (the returning officer) having opened the
proceedings with the usual formalities, the only notable in-
cident during their observance being three cheers for the
Queen. and a hearty response, for the moment at lead, to
Mr. Child's earnest entreaty for justice and fair play, the
nomination of candidates was proceeded with, in accord-
ance with previous arrangements and consent, in alpha-
betical order.

Mr. Coreen proposed Yr. Cligebt Salisbury Bid liq;"
founding his advocacy chiefly on Mr. Butler's past ser-
vices in parliament.
The following candidates were proposed : —Mr. C. S.
Butler, Colonel Dickson, Mr. John Holms, Mr. J. J.
Homer, Mr. C. Reed, and Mr. Lomeli Webb ; the first
five being liberals, and the last candidate a conservative.
The show of hands was declared to be in favour of Mr.
C. Seed and Mr. J. Holm'. A poU was demanded.

Mr. A. Angerstein and Mr. Delaware roes simulta-
neously, the former to the Hon. W. E. Gladstone
and the latter Sir H. W. Parker. Both gentlemen con-
tinued, amid a scene of great mahatma, to speak for some
moments, till at last Mr. Delaware gave way.
Mr. White seconded the nomination of Mr. Gladstone,
but the seconder of Sir IL W. Parker could not be ascer-
tained.
Viscount Mahon and Sir H. Parker each addrened the
electors, but the uproar that prevailed was so great that
it was impossible to hear either at a distance of two
or three yards, and as no provision was made for reporters
it is impossible to give anything of what they said.

tenths were held up for &lemons and Gladstone. ♦ poll
