The Elehibn for Members to represent this City
in Parliament came on this day. The Sheriffs took
their seats in the City Court House, at eleven
o'clock, and, after the arrangement of some pre-
liminary forms, the Hon. Mr. C. H. Hutchinson
was proposed by Charles Leslie, Esq. with some
appropriate observations, and seconded by Sir
Richard Kellet ; and Colonel Longfield was pro-
posed by Alderman Lane, with similar intrados-
lion, and seconded by Rowlaid Morrison, liaq.
late Mayor of this City.
The subsequent proceedings we ate aide to state
but imperfeely, from the difficulty, in an excessive
crowd, of procuring a phee not liable to its pressure.
We ate, therefore, obliged to give a sketch, partly
from information, and partly from memory. After
the Hon. C. H. Hutchinson was proposed and se-
conded, his brother, the Hon. Ala ANA le Huvcnus.
sot, addressed the Eleflors —He accounted for
the unavoidable absence of his brother, which made
it nece,sary for him to appear en his behalf; he
stated his pretensions to their favour, in a abort ex-
position of his Parliamentary coodua, and entered
into some observations upon the long period which
his family had given a Member to the representa-
tion of this City,. and their unvarying attention to
its interests, with much force and ability.
Colonel LONGIIIILD also addressed the Eleeors,
and, in a short speech, remolded his owe ctaiis
to their partiality.
The succeeding period being that whilchalrattla
an opportunity to any Freeman to animadvert epos
the political merits of the respective Candidates, a
Mr. 8041.11 rose up, and commented very freely
upon the respedive claims of the Candidates to po-
pularity, or to the confidence ef their constituency.
His observations were not recommendatory of the
Eleelon of the Candidates ; and, having met with
some interruption from the Sheriffs, upon the na-
ture of his remarks, which produced smart and
prorated replication, it was observed, that he was not
&privileged Eleaor, and, therefore, not competent
!to embark in the discussion which he had under-
" teen. This being admired to be the case, by a
ref rents to the registered franchise of the city, Mr.
Boyle's seal took another slireaion, and he direly
offered himself as a Candidate to represent the City.
He was proposed lad seconded by two Freemen,
whose name we could not obtain, and being thereby
eligible to speak, appeared upon the Hustings, and
addressed the Freemen and Freeholders at large.—
He animadverted, with much severity, upon she
Parliamentary cur.duft of the two Candidates; he
described it as unJelerring the support of stonsci-
(vicious suffrage ; that it had forwarded the mea-
sure of I.Juinti with Great Britain ; and draw some
sonclusiens, oFverp reproachful prognosticatioo, to
their future principles. He also observed. that the
application of Mr. H.'s services to °Welts mislek
would °intro& Ms attention to Parßansemterdt-*
ties. rendered him ineligible to the trust.
As we profess not to recollea, with oar.
clad turn of expression of each of theatiolie
we mast be meowed for net giving dellkais
addressee with any minuteness.
Mr. BOY Cs concluded with *lb* upon the
Eleaors not to return Members of llie•cbaraCter he
had represented.
A shew of hands being demanded for each Can-
didate, and only a few appearing klavour of Mr.
Boyle's claim, the Sheriffs, atrat the Mail pro-
clamations for objeeion car competition, declared
the Hon. Mr. C. H. Hutchinson, and Colonel
Longfield, duly elated.
The Hon. Mr. Hu rc t scion made a short address
of thanks to the Fleeter', and promised, on behalf
of his brother, that his parliamentary charafter
would deserve their approbation and confidence, sod
that the interests of their City narticularlya cod of
the Country generally, would be °hies% un-
ceasing solicitude.
Colonel Lutscretti.a addressed theinv-vrith pro-
fessions of similar obligations apd conduit.
This Eleaioe producied a eheumstance of un-
precedented liberality and toleration, and may be
an auspicious augury of future success to claims
which hare been long die which of various opinions.
Mr. Bbyle, one of the admitted Candidates for the
representation of this City. we understand, is a
Roman Catholic. The omission which permitted
this fall to pass without examination, proves at least.
and happily, that no watchful prejudice is at work
upon rebeions propensities.
Mr. George Ponsonby is arrived in town, to offer
himself fur the representation of the County.
Monday last being appointed by the High Nisei&
of Limerick, for holding the Eleatic, the concourse
of people assembled at the Court House, at the
usual hour, was immense ; all anxious to testify
their wishes for Colonel Vereker. The Court having
been formed, and silence obtained, a very appro-
priate and energetic speech was addressed to the
Sheriffs, by Mr. MAWsiIILL, of Plassey, expressive
of tl • meritorious condua of Colonel Vereker on
the fi,rld, and in the Senate, which concluded with
proposing the Colonel to be our Representative in
Patliament. The motion was secoaded by Colonel
Para DZllti AST SNI VTII, and supported by the una-
nimous approbation of the highly respectable Meet-
ing Nothing could exceed the cheering and reite-
rated acclamations of the populace; who. immedi-
ately afti r the EleCtion, bore the Colonel en their
shoulders in an elegantly ornamented chair. He
war presented with ribbons from the various trades,
and carried in ti iumph through the entire city.
