TIVERTON.

The writ for the electionoia member of Parliament
for this borough was received at Tiverton on Thursday
morning. The election is fixed for Monday next.
Daring the course of the day an influential meeting of
his lordship's supporters and friends was held, at which
it was represented that there would not, in all probabi-
lity, be the slightest opposition to the noble premier's re-
turn ; and that, therefore, considering how important it.
was that he should remain in London, it was undesir-
able that he should be present at the election. In pur-
suance of these suggestions, tide following resolution
was passed, from which it will be seen that it is not at
all probable that Lord Palmerston will visit the borough
on Monday :
" TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF TIVERTON.

" Lord Palmerston having accepted the office of First
Lord of the Treasury, and having consequently vacated
his seat in Parliament for this borough, the committee for
ensuring his lordship's re-election met this morning, and
unanimously passed the following resolution :
" `That considering the present state of public affairs,
and how necessary Lord Palmerston's presence is in Lon-
don, his lordship's friends in this borough are of opinion
that, under these circumstances, his personal attendance
at the ensuing election should be dispensed with.'
"The committee feel assured that they have acted only
in accordance with the wishes of their brother electors in
having communicated the preceding
,resolution to Lord
Palmerston ' • and that, much as they would rejoice to wel-
come his lordship as the head of her Majesty's Govern-
ment, yet, that if the interests of the public service repair*
his presence in London, the electors of Tiverton will be
prepared unanimously to return him, though absent, as
one of their representatives in Parliament.
"Signed on behalf of tho Committee.
"J. H. AMORY, Chairman.
"Dated Tiverton, Feb. 8, 1855."

Yesterday (Friday) the following address from Lord
Palmerston was issued :

TO THE ELECTORS OF TIVERTON.
Gentlemen,—The Queen having been graciously
pleased to confer upon me the office of First Lord of the
Treasury, my seat in the House of Commons has become
vacant ; and I again solicit at your hands a continuance of
that confidence on your part which I have now for so long
a period had the honour to enjoy. lam fully sensible of
the deep responsibility which attaches to the high post in
which her Majesty has been pleased to command my Kw.

of the important

of this great nation must at all times be the anxious study
of those to whose hands may be committed the manage..
ment of its affairs; but, at the present moment, that task
is beset with difficulties which require proportionate exer-
tions. This country has been compelled to engage in war,
for objects which the judgment of the nation has declared
to be of sufficient magnitude and importance to render
necessary the exertions and sacrifices which that war may
require. We are contending against a powerful adversary,
but we are contending in concert with a powerful and
faithful ally ; and I confidently hope that the spirit and
energy of the British people will triumph over all difficul-
ties, and that by vigorous exertions in war we shall attain
that end which is the object of all just war—a safe and
honourable peace.—l have the honour to be, gentlemen,
your most obedient and humble servant,
