BLACKBURN.

Yesterday the nomination for this borough took place
at the Market-place. The candidates were Messrs. Pilk-
ington and Hornby, the late Members, and Mr. Eccles.
These gentlemen are all natives of Blackburn. Messrs.
Pilkington and Eccles are thorough free-traders; and
Mr. Hornby is looked upon as a Derbyite wishing to se-
cure his return under the cloak of free trade. At ten
o'clock the candidates and their immediate friends took
their place on the hustings, when the Mayor (Mr.
Hornby (brother of the candidate of that name), opened
the meeting, and the usual preliminaries having been
gone through, Mr. R. Upwood, jun., proposed, and Mr.
C. Livesey seconded, the nomination of Mr. Hornby;
Mr. Thomas Dngdale proposed, and Mr. R. R. Jackso❑
seconded, the nomination of Mr. Pilkington; and Mr.
H. B. Hollinshed proposed, and Mr. Swift seconded,
the nomination of Mr. Eccles, as fit and proper persons
to represent the borough of Blackburn in the ensuing
Parliament.

The candidates having declared their sentiments, the
Mayor called for a show of hands, when a few only were
held up for Mr. Hornby, while, with loud cheers, the
thousands assembled in front of the hustings responded
to the calls respectively in favour of Mr. Pilkington and
Mr. Eccles. A poll was demanded in favour of Mr.
licrnby.
A vote of thanks to the Mayor was carried by accla-
mation, and three eheers having been given for the Queen,
the vast assemblage quietly dispersed.

Tho nomination for this borough occurred yesterday.
To the surprise of everybody, at the last hour, an oppo-
nent to the return of Mr. Benbow appeared in the per-
son of Mr. Alderman Baldwin, a Radical, from Birming-
ham. Mr. Benbow and Mr. Baldwin having been pro-
posed, the returning officer decided the show of hands
in favour of Alderman Baldwin. A poll was then de-

will be returned.

BRIGHTON.
There were yesterday four candidates for the repre-
sentation of this borough—viz., the two old Members,
Sir George Brooke Pechell (Liberal), and Lord Alfred
Hervey (Conservative Free-trader), and two new candi-
dates, Mr. Trelawny (formerly Liberal Member for
Tavistock), and Mr. Ffooks, a Liberal, aud an opponent
of the Maynooth grant. The hustings were erected in
the usual place,
the stone platform on the east side of
the Town hall being extended in two directions, and the
whole covered with a tarpaulin awning. The proceed-
ings possessed little of the usual election excitement,
ono only of the candidates, Mr. Flooks, having either
banners or band.
The candidates, having been nominated by thir prin-
cipal supporters, severally. addressed the electors.
The show of hands was in favour of Mr. Trelawny and
Sir George Pechell, whereupon a poll was demanded.

HARWICH.
The polling commenced here this morning at eight
o'clock, and for the first hour or two the voters appeared
at the bonth in rapid succession; so much so that at
twelve' o'clock the whole constituency, except about 40,
had polled on one side or tho other. Messrs. Waddington
and reacocke took the lead from the commencement, and
kept it.

At two o'clock there remained some 20 votes unpolled,
so that at that time the contest was virtually decided in
favour of Peacocke and Waddington.
Shortly after four o'clock the MAYOR stated the result
of the poll to be as follows:
Peacocke 135
Waddington 134
Bagshaw
... ... 125
Warburton ...
••• 110
Tho Mayor thereupon declared that Mr. David Wad-
dington and Mr. George Montagu Warren Peacocke had
been duly elected.
The announcement was received with vociferous
cheering by the " blues," answered by a counter cheer
by the opposite interest.
