Tht)lllf-mon believe that M. Macaulay- is un-
chanc2'ed end unchangeable in his political vieciplts;
and I am perfectly satisfied that, it he is returned to
Parliament, lie will do common justice to every sect in
the empire. I am also quit, satisfied with the decla-
ration rnilde by oar chairman, that if Mr. Alartaulay is
elected he will serve, and consider it an honour to re-
pres; nt this cit I propose three cheers for. Mr. 141r-
caulay.—(The meeting responded to the call by rising

their hats, handkerchiefs, &c.) After a cordial vote of
thanks to the chairman the meeting separat ed.
MACCLESFIELD.—.A vigorous =test has already com-
menced in this borough. There are three candidates;
Mr. Breckleharst and Mr. John Williams, the present
Members, and both Free-traders; and Mr.C.E..Egerten,
a " Derbyite." Mr. l3roeklehurst, who possesses im-
mense local influence, is certain of his return, and the
contest will lie between Mr. Williams and Mr. Egerton.
Mr. Egerton, though now, for the nonce, repudiatieg
any do ire to restore the corn-laws, is the same gentle,
man who, so late as 1850, on the elevation of Sir J.
Jervis to the bench, contested Chester against . Mr. W.
0. Stanley, and at that time upon avowed Pro-
tectionist princ;p'oMember of that great Eger-
ton family which is conspicuous in the electioneering
annals of Chehire, and which has considerable, direct
and indirect influence in and about Maccesfield, and pos-
sessing, himself, vast wealth which ho has publicly de-
clared he will use in every " legitimate" manner towards
the furtherance of his purpwes, it is expected that he
will run Mr. Williams very hard; and, despite the great
popularity of Mr. Williams, more particularly among
the working men—a popularity which not-only in Mac-
clesfield, but in all other parts of the country, ho has
earned by a consistent course of thorough and uncolii,
promising liberalism—it is by no means certain that he
will keep his seat. His friends are, however, exerting
themselves heartily in his favour; and he is facing the
vague " Derbyism" of bis opponent with an enviable
list of the votes he has given on reform, economy, and
liberal measures generally, since the beginning of this
Parliament.
