SHEFFIELD.

The nomination took place at three o'clock on Tues-
day, at the Corn Exchange, there being from 14,000 to
15,000 electors and non-electors present. The candidates
were—Mr. Parker, Mr. Roebuck, Mr. Hadfield, and Mr.
W. Overend.

Mr. PARKER addressed the electors, and said that he
had supported a free trade throughout the realm before
Mr. Cobden was in Parliament. He had sat up many
nights, and laboured many days, before it was attained.
Having been a Reformer all his life, he should continue
a Reformer. He was a friend to progress and to edu-
cation.

Mr. OVEREND then spoke amid shouts, Yells, and
groans. He said he was there because the Conserva-
tive voice of Sheffield had never yet been heard in Par-
liament, and a large body of the constituency thought
the time had arrived when it ought to be so heard.
He stood there as the supporter of no Government.
He believed the people he addressed to be
1 the happiest, the freest, the noblest people on the face
of the earth by reason of our valuable institutions.
And he wanted to preserve them intact, fitting them to
the exigencies and requirements of the times. He would
never be a party to throwing the balance of power en-
tirely into the hands of one class. He was as good a
Free-trader as Mr. Hadfield, and would carry out the
principles of free trade into every branch, not only of
Government, but of the country. In religion he would
give the most perfect tolerance. Re should be very glad

The show of hands was declared in favour of Mr. John

LUDLO W.

The nomination of candidates for this borough took
place yesterday at eleven o'clock, the candidates being
Colonel Salwey, the late Member, a Radical; Mr. Clive,
son of the Member for South Shropshire, Tory; and
Lord William Vane Powlett, brother of the Duke of
Cleveland, Tory. Colonel Salwey was proposed by Mr.
Anderson, and seconded by Mr. W. Harding; Mr.
Clive, by Mr. James Davies and Mr. R. Marston; and
Lord Powlett, by Major Lowe and Mr. G. R. Hookey.
Colonel SALWEY was received with loud cheering
from all parts of the hall. He declared himself as an
uncompromising Freetrader, determined to oppose the
reimposition of the corn-tax by every means.
Lord POWLETT avowed himself a supporter of Lord
Derby's Government, but did not think that there would
be any attempt to reimpose a ditty on corn.
Mr. OLIVE also was a supporter of Lord Derby,
though claiming for himself a right to vote independently.
A show of hands was declared to be in favour of Mr.
Clive and Colonel Salwey.
A poll was demanded for Lord Powlett, which was
decided to be taken next day at eight o'clock. A spirited
contest is anticipated.
