LAMBETH ELECTION.
(THIS DAY.)

The various committees of the respective candidates
made their epp?arance on the hustings at Kennington-
common precisely at ten o'clock. Shortly before that
hour struck bands of music and processions, belonging
to the three cindidates, entered the ground, end by the
time the chair was taken there were about 1,000 persons
present.
Mr. IL ONSLOW, the returning officer, read
the pre-
cept, when the three candidates were duly introduced.
WM. CORRY, D.q., proposed Mr. D'Eyncourt, which
proposition was seconded by Wm. KNoTT,
Mr. Jorm Douvrox proposed Mr. Williams, and Mr.
J. A. LYON seconded the proposition.
Mr. SERINGTON, of Camberwell, proposed Mr. Wil-
kinson. and Mr. JOHN SEWELL, surgeon, seconded the
proposition.
The gentlemen who proposed and seconded the can-
didates were, as usual, greeted with cheers and hisses.
Loud cries of " No coolition, let Wiillsms and D'Eyn-
eourt sited alone," rent the air whilst the fritudg of
the two first-nsmed candidates were Ilidgooatiag their
respective claims.
D'ElebiCoUßT, ou making his appearance in front
of the hustings. was received with loud cries of "Shame
—turn hire back," from one side, and cheers from the
other. After considerable trouble, order was to some
extent restored by Mr. D'Eyncourt giving way, when
Mr. SEWELL resumed his address in favour of Mr.
Wilkinson.
Mr. D'EvrteounT again made his appearance and

was received in the mime manner as befoie. The noise
at length became so great that it was with difficulty
a single word could be heard from the Hon. Gentle-
man. " How much did you give to the sufferers by
the cholera in Lambeth?" was shouted by the crowd.
Mr. D'Eyncourt, however, continued to address the
meeting, denying the allegations that had been made
against him. Mr. D'Eyncourt for nearly an hour con-
doued his address, amidst the most discordant sounds
of cries of " ktra. Okey's bill," and "how about the
poor widow P"

- Mr. WILKINSON claimed the indulgence of the meet-
ing, but without the least success. Cries of " U.P.
in place of M.P. will be your initials now," and other
similar expressions, were all that could be heard by the
1 persons on the hustings. At length
Mr. Wrztaamis came forward, and was hailed with
cries of "No coalition." As boon as silence was re-
stored.,the Hon. Gentleman proceeded to remark that he
had
year's stewardship
them two years, and at the end of his
first
man to stewardship he came forward like an honest
give an_ account; of what he had done whilst in
the House. They had been pleased to continue his ser-
vice., and, with the txception of Mr. Hume, no one had
done more than he had protect their pockets. He
next laid before the meeting the line of conduct he
had pursued in the Housien,ogfaand added, that if they
would do him the honour again returning him to
Parliament, he would do all
benefit their
important borough; but if they thought tf:
serving of their support, and they told hiniesowaislenot de-
at once retire.—(Cries of " Why don't D'Eyncourtllld
At the conclusion of Mr. Williams'. address loud cries
were raised of " Williams and Wilkinson for Lambeth."'
Mr. WIL*INSON, on coming to the front of the bust:k-
ings, was received most enthusiastically. He appeared
before them in that position that the electors of that bo- ,
rough might have a choice in appointing their own re-
presentative. If he should have the honour of represent-
ing them in Parliament, he should do all he could to ad-
vance the interests of such a great borough. He next
addressed the meeting in similar terms as he advanced
the previous evening at the Victoria Theatre, and con-
cluded by saying if he was returned he hoped his conduct
would never give them cause of regret for the choice they
had made.
Mr. OrtsLoW then called for a show of hands, and
declared the majority to be in favour of Mr. Williams
and Mr. Wilkinson.
A poll was then demanded on behalf of Mr.
D'Eynoourt, which is to take place to-morrow.
Mr. WILLIAMS and Mr. WILKINSON next addressed
the electors, and craved their support at the poll.
Mr. D'EYNCOUKT next made an attempt to address
the meeting, but was received with shouts of disappro-
bation. He was sure the poll would tell a different tale
to-morrow.

A vote of thadui to the returning officer closed the
proceedings.

THE LAMBETH ELECTION.

We are in a position not only to state, but to prove,
that certain gentlemen on the committee of Messrs.
D'Eyncourt and Williams have, within the last few
days, resorted to an act which surpasses in the
quality of disgracefulness anything which has yet
occurred in the Lambeth contest, which, on
the side of the late Members, has been con-
ducted in a manner the most inhuman and in..
decent to Mr. Harvey, of any election which ever
took place in this country. The persons to whom we
refir, taking advantage of the stats of high nervousness
iuro which that gentleman has been thrown by the
dastardly conduct of his opponent 9, actudly sought,
towards the close of last week, to iniiinidate Mr. Hai,
vey into signing a paper, ruquPsting all bis
riends to support Mr. Tennyson D'Ey ucourt
and Mr. Williams, by _ the threat of exposing
some private trsniactions which took place thirty-five
years ago. Considering that Mr. Harvey's life is
certifi.-d by four distinguished medical gentlemen to be
in danger through the cruel treatment he has received
at the hands of the supporters of his opponents, the fact
we have stated exceeds in atrocity anything ever ber.,re
recorded in the annals of elections. Surely, no friend of
Mr. Harvey, surely, no man. who has any respect for the
hu,,,Dity,, or even decency, eau,
principles of justice,
after this, vote for either Mr. D
indignation
or Mr. Wil-
liams, but will express his deep indignation at such con-
duct by voting for Mr. Wilki,nson.-- Morning .Advatumw.
