DEVON poRT.

The polling took place on Wednesday, and from the
begionicg to near its close the Conservatives took the
lead. The Mayor announced the state of the poll to be:

Sir J. ROMILLY rose amid loud cheers, but an old
sailor with a Syrian medal to his breast, in a fury of ex-
citement, threw his cap towards the Right Honourable
Gentleman. I appear before you, said Sir John, in a
character quite diffetent from that which I expected
that of a defeated candidate, and I assure you that the
statement I made respecting the result of this election
was no other than that which I fully and sincerely be-
lieved it would turn out.—(Cheers.) Bat I am disap

sion, and congratulate the Gallant General on his return,
and I trust he may serve you as faithfully as I have en-
deavoured to do.—(Cheers.) I trust he may even serve
you more to your advantage, and that these sentiments
ot free trade which he now professes to entertain may
be carried out in every stage of progressive ref am for
tue general advancement of the country.—(Cheers )
Sir JOHN MAxwELL—I also appear before you to-day
a defeated candichte, but not a dispirited candidate.—
(Loud cheers, and a cry of '• You will be returned next

that he has a flient tongue. I only asked for the votes

Mr. TUFNELL then rose, and was received with a
hearty welcome by his friends. He said—Gentlemen,

Sir GEoRGE BERKELEY also bri• Ely returned thanks,

Having thanked them for returning him, he said that
Devonport was no longer a close borough; it was now
free and open, and he hoped and trusted that it would
always be so. As they had done him the honour of

DE it BY.
Great excitement prevailed to Derby yesterday in con-
sequence of the seizure of a briber on the Tory side, who
wus cleverly capiured in a dark room at an inn with a
large sum of money before biro. There yeas a regular
,i,,rir-keepor, arid passwords were used. A letter was
found upon the briber, which, it is tat d, is likely to
lead to important results. A description of three other
persons was obtained by the Liberals, but they were not
detect,d. The contest Wad a very severe one.

A pause of some minutes now ensued, and some per-
sons began to anticipate a repetition of the scene which
had already occurred, when
Sir J. GRAHAM stepped forward and said—Gentlo-
men, my rese-act for you is so sincere, and my sense of
the gravity of this occasion is so deep, that I am not pre-
pared to make the proceedings of this day ridiculous.—
(Applause.) I waited, according to the ordinary cour-
tesy observed at elections, to give the friends of the late
sitting Member, who again solicits your suffrages, the
opportunity of proposing him. I and my friends waited
for a long time, but waited in vain. Even now, I again
waited to give my opponent the opportunity of expres-
sing his opinions before me, but since I perceive that he
wishes I should speak first, I will not " stand on the
order of our going," and, not being afraid of appealing
to you, without hesitation I proceed to address you, al-
though in doing so I take precedence of your former
Member. I have great encouragement in doing so,
b.cause, although sudden conversions are now the
order of the day, I certainly was not prepared to
hear myself proposed and seconded by the two
gentlemen wise have done me that honour from the
other side.—(Cheers and laughter.) One of these
gentlemen, who I think is intimately connected
with Mr. Hodgson, paid me a compliment which I
certainly was not prepared for. Mr. Parting declared
that in his opinion I was the most fit person to repre-
sent the city of Carlisle._(Much cheering) I think tee
expression used by Mr. Head was that I was the right
man, and ought to have the precedence.—(Cheers.) Mr.
Head likewise said he had read history. I also have
read history, and I will tell you the result of my read-
ing and of my experience. I think that the prosperity of
this country is to be traced to its constitution and its
trade, and that the lifeblood of both is freedom.—
(Cheers.) Well, what is the rule of that freedom, as em-
bodied in our representative system? It is that the
of the electors of Carlisle are decidedly of opinion

_(Cheers.) I perceive there is great unanimity among
us. I am proposed by the agent from the opposite
party, seconded by one of their principal supporters,
and they mike it appear that there is no real dif-
ference between us. As far as I can under-
stand, Mr. Hodgson is a Free-trader, a Reformer, and
a friend of economy and retrenchment. It so, I should
really like to know what is the matter in dispute
between us.—(Cheers and laughter.) Why am I so
little eligible, and ho so much to be preferred? Mr.
Hodgsou, s seconder was somewhat severe upon me per-
sonally. He said I had perambulated England, and re-
presented many places, and that Carlisle, if it should
now return me, might probably be called the asylum
for the deatitute. Now, have I shown an unwilling•
ness to appear before popular assemblies? True, I have

represented other places, but it is equally true that,

by fear from an unwilling adversary. Speaking only in
a conservative sense, timely concession is the greatest
proof of conservative wisdom in any statesman. With

the last • thirty-two years, and • I can honestly say
with Burke, "I can shut the book; I might wish to

laughter. on the hustings.) The. gentlemen who pro-
posed and seconded me on the other side should not
mock me with derision. If they think I have any per-
sonal object to gratify, why did they nominate me as a
candidate?—(Applause.) I repeat that I am influenced
by no personal object on this occasion. I see a great
public interest at stake, and I think it of the last im-
portance that this capital of the borders should send no
doubtful voice to the approaching Parliament.—(Lond
cheers) If the electors of Carlisle think that fie e trade
can be safely entrusted to the guardianship of itr ene-
mies, let them return a Deibyite; if, on the contrary,
they think it should be entrusted to the guardianship of
its friends, let them return me and Mr. Ferguson. If
the electors of this city shall be of opinion that the
time has arrived when, with reference to the
public interest, I should withdraw f.om the public
service, I will respectfully retire; if, on the other hand,
they be of opinion that my labours may still be useful le
the public, I am content for a short time longer to give
to the public my best exertions,(Cheering ) I cannot
promise you that they wilt be more z-alous, more
energetic, than they have been, nor am I vain enough to
expect that my exertions can be attended with greater
success than has crowned my past efforts. It now only
remains for me to thank you cordially for the kindness
with which you have beard me. I bear no resentment
to any gentleman opposite; and if, during this contest,
I have uttered 4 syllable offensive totreany one it has been
unintentionlly.—(Applause.) I say, with the utmost
possible respect, that you, the electors, have a great duty
to perform. You have to decide who, on the whole, are
the persons fi test to represent the city of Carli.le. I
leave the case in your heeds, and abide your decision
with anxiety, but also with .great confidence.—(Cheers.)
Mr. 1-I,,DGSON said the time had arrived when the
electors of Carlisle were called upon to return two re-
presentatives to Parliament. Never had they been
called upon to exercise the privilege of electors under
more trying circumstances, and it became them to select
as their representatives men in whose political honesty,
courage, and consistency they could confide. A sneer
had boon passed on him on the alleged ground that he
had thought fit to change, his mind on certain political
questions; but he hoped to satisfy them, before he con-
cluded, that be had been guilty of no inconsistency
whatever.—(Applause.) No one'could canvass the con-
stituency of Carlisle without being aware of its opinion
on the question of tree trade. The Right Hon. Baronet
had twitted him as if be had changed his opinions on
that question; but be told the Right Hon. Baronet
to his face that he (Mr. Hodgson) was a free trader long
before he was.—(Cheers.) The candidates for shoes
he had voted in Carlisle had alWays been free-traders.
That was the case with Sir Philip Musgrave
when he opposed Mr. Crowen with Mr. Garnett and
Sir J. Malcolm. Never in his life had be done
anything so much against free trade as when he
voted for the Right Hon. Baronet.—(Cheers and laughter.)
In the Right Hon. Baronet's printed address he told the
electors to ask him whether he (Mr. Hodgson) was a
supporter of Lord Derby's Government. Without hesi.
mums he would avow that he was.—(Applause.) If
elected he would be a general supporter of Lord Derby's
Government, and be would tell them why. On looking
around, and viewing the aspect of political affairs, he
cense to the conclusion that no other Government could
be formed than that which Lord Derby presided over.—
(APPlatise and laughter.) The late Government died
a natural death. Lord Lansdowne declared in the House
of Lords that he was almost salaamed of being a mem-
ber of it for the last twelve mouths of its existence, so
imbecile and tottering was its condition. During that
period the Government could parry no measure which
it thought essential for the good of the country. But.
if it were thought important to have Lord John Russell
at the, head of affairs, he must. be allowed to ask the
Right. lien. Baronet why he was not in his place in
Parliament to defend him when he needed support ?
When Lord John Russell declared, in February last,
that, if Lord Palmerston's amendment to the Militia
' Bill should be carried, he would resign office, did Sir
James Graham's conduct evince any earnest desire to
maintain in power a Free-trade Government? He saw
°l!' Bight Hon. Baronet in the House above five or ten
minutes bef ire the division took elice, but when the di-
vision bell rang be was non est inventus.—(Cheers and
laugteer.) The Right lion. Baronet on that occassion
did not come forward to supp rrt his friend, and he did
not wonder at it. Let him ask this question, too:—
Who made the most virulent and acrimonious speech
against the Whig Gevernmene on the motion for inquiry
jute the foreign policy of Lard Palmerston? The
Right Hon. Baronet. Where was free•trade then ?
( Applause.) Who again made the most acrimoniuu.
speech and did his best to throw out the Government on
the question of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill? Free-
trade Was never thought of until it was desired to get
rid of' Lord D.eey'a Government, and then the cry was
got up 'for the occasion.—(Cheers.) He had long been
a tree trader, and would continue so, and would never
vote for any m ,asure calculated to diminish the benefits
which the people had derived from free trade.
Re was not in England when the corn laws were repealed,
out Mr. Mounsey, who proposed Mr, Ferguson this
day, then signed a petition- against their. repeal. Yet
31r. Mounsey now came forward to preside over
meetings at which monopolists were denounced.'
What he said ought to satisfy the people that it was
necessary
to h-eir both sides of the question.—(Cheers )
Let them not accept as true the, statements made on the
other side as to his being oppose t to the interests of the
Poor man. The R gist Hon. Baronet had alluded to a
measure of Chancery reform being in contemplation

Of the poor handloom weayers could . be improved,
he believed that Lord Derby was the man to do it.—
(Cheers.) It was only the other day a distinguished
member of the Government informed him that be was
disposed, in the next session, to bestow his earnest con-
sideration on that stieject. He could readily give his
assent to every ward which had fallen from the Right
Bon. Baronet on the subject of reform; but the Right

evade that question. The Right Hon. Baronet did not

would appear, from the, language of the Right Hon.
Barmen's proposer, that he was. fer universal suffrage;
but to that measure he (Mr. Hodgson) was decidedly
opposed.—(Cheers.) Allusion to the ballot had been
avoided today, and if he mistook not, there was as
much difference of opinion on that question between his
opponents 'as there was' between himself and Sir J.
Graham on any other point. Allusion having been
made to retrenchment, be might be permitted to say that
he lied voted for 'every motion for retrenchment except
one brought forward by Mr. Cobden, which would have
sweptaway ten millions.of taxes at once, and endang,-red
the interest of the debt. When the Right H in. Baronet's
friends spoke of his being the friend of Reform arid
retrenchment, he must remind them that he never voted
for Mr. Hume's motion for Reform, nor did he vote
for Mr. Henley's and Mr. Drunitneno's moriona for
retrenchment.—(Cheers.) Before concluding, he
!must enter his earnest protest against the con-
itter of the opposite party, for causing some persons to
be apprehended by. the police and placed iu the corpora-
tion
dungeon for merely expressing disapprobation at a .
pablio meeting on Friday last.—(Cheery) He would •
also explain how it happened that his friends had pro-
posed Sir James Graham, The fact was, they were in-
formed that some of the Right Hon. Baronet's friends

did not vote for Lord John Russell's Militia Bill be-
cause he did. not . approve of the scheme as
ne announced it.- Dr. Lousdale asked what " ite " he
now was. He had been a Peelite, but he was now re-
solsed not to bind himself in the fetters of any party, but
would do hie best as private Member of Parliament,
or in any situation whichet might be the pleasure of the
Crown to call on bim.• to fill,—(Applause.) He would
not bind himself' in the fetters of party so as to prevent
him. from exercising an iedependent judgment as to the
fittest mode in which his country could be served.
Therefore, he was neither a Dernyito nor a Rassellite;
but his object was to be the independent member ior
Carlisle, free to express his opinions in the House of
Commons on all important questions as they might arise.
—(Cheers.) That brought •him to the question of re-
form. He certainly had been of opinion that the exten-
sion of the suffrages given by the Reform Act of 1832
was so extensive, that-it would have lasted his time. He
now, however,. was •clearly of opinion that since the
Queen had announced from the Throne that a revision
of the Act of 1832 was necessary, and since Lord J.
Russell, then First Minister of the Crown, who was his
colleague in introducing the Act of 1832, had himself
acknowledged that it was marked by great inieerfee-
tions, it was his (Sir Jamas Graham'a) opinion that
a revision of • the measure was indispenable. Then,
he Wag asked what franchise he was prepared to
support? He would tell them he was not satisfied with
the new Reform. Bill introduced by the late Whig Go-
vernment. It sinned in one particular—it did not recur
to the principles of the Act of 1832, which was the dis-
franchisement of small rotten boroughs, and the ex:en;
sion of the franchise to towns containing large numbers
of intelligent citizens.—(Cheers.) If we are to revise
the Reform Act, I think we must begin where we left
of We must look to see wbether there are any de-
cayed boroughs' to be disfranchised, and whether the
franchise cannot be ben«-ficiall, extended to large com-
munities not at.present enjoying it; and with respect to
cities and boroughs, he bai' no hesitation in saying it
appeared to him that the old English basis of residence
and 'rating would be the legitimate foundation of any fu-
Lure extension of the suffrage.—(Cheers.) In conclu-
sion, he hoped that his answers to Dr, Lonsdale's ques-
tioos would secure him thu gentleman's vote.
Dr Lonsdale's questions were then put to the other
candidates, and obtained from them answers substan-
tially the same as those given by Sir J. Graham.
The MAYOR then tcl a show of hands, and decided
that it was iu favour of Sir J. Graham and Mr. F. rguson,
whereupon a poll was demanded for Mr. Hodgsou, cud
fixed for to-morrow.
The assembly then quietly dispersed.
The final result of the pull yesterday was—

Bailie M DuWALL propospd Mr. John Macgregor,
which was 6u:wined by Mr. CALLENDER, leAtner

Mr. A. ORR proposed Mr. Alexander Hastie, which
was 8,-con-1- r 1 by Mr. C. GREY, distiller.
Mr. MURRAY proposed Lord Malgund, which was se-
Conded by thine SoURLAY.
Sir J. CAMPBELL propos, d Mr. Peter Blackburn,
which was seconded by Mr. L. Wlt sox.
The three first-uamed candtdatts tire Liberals, and the
fourth, Mr. Blackburn a Fre—tr%de Conservat ye.
Mr. Alison, the fifth candidate, was not nominated,
having retired.

Mr. MACGREGOR, who was received with great ap-
plause by the dense mass in front of the hustings, ob-
served, in the course of his addres—l consider that we
require to carry out still further the principles of free
trade. We must abolish all the taxes or customs duties
on every kind of raw material, such as timber. We must
remove the remaining duties on articles of food, such as
butter, cheese, and other articles I could name. We
must reduce the duty on tea, which, as it at present
stands, may be considered as a tax on temperance. If
no one else does, I propose to bring in a measure of this
kind myself, viz., to reduce the duty to one-half of what
it now is.—(Great cheering.)
Mr. Ileum was received with loud cheers. He ob-
served that while be was quite disposed now, as he had
pledged himself on a former occasion, to support mea-
sures not men, yet he could not, until he saw the mea-
sures of the present Government, place confidence in
them.—(Cheers.) If, however, the present Government
brought in good measures, measures likely to increase
the trade of the country, to carry the glory of this coun-
try to the same pitch as it had attained in former days,
then he should say that these men and their measures
would have his warmest support.—(Cheers.)
Lord MELOUND, who was received with mingled cheers
and hisses, in the course of his speech observed—l have
supported the same princ,ples as the gentlemen who
have spoken before me; and I think few men would
have the courage to stand in the plNce which I now
occupy, and say-that we must go back to the system
of protection. There are, however certain points in the
conduct of our Legislature in which I do not so tho-
roughly agree with the Hon. Cuididates who have
spoken as I would wish to do. I differ with them on a
paint which seems more particularly to affect the people
of the northern division of the empire than at.y
(h
portion of her Majesty's dominions; I mean the Princ-
iple of religious liberty and equality. In my
Opinion
there is a great aaioteit of misuudet standing as to whit
