ARUNDEL.

The election to return a Membei to the ensuing Par-
liament for Arundel took place yesterday, Lord Edward
Howard (son of the Duke of Norfolk) walking over
the course. The town preserved its usual quiet,
and but for the hustings which bad been erected
in the market-place, no signs of an election were dis-
played._

The Mayor of Arundel (Mr. R. Holmes) presided as
returning officer, and after the usual formalities,
Mr. W. SHAFT proposed, and Mr. MARSHALL se-
conded, the nomination of Lord Edward Howard.
Captain HOLMES wished to ask the Noble Lord
question. At the last election Mr. Strutt took the place
of the Earl of Surrey, and he should like to know whe-
ther his Lordship (the present candidate) had received a
carte blanche for the whole of the session, or whether be,
entered on a week's notice to quit.—(Laughter and
cheers.) He considered the Noble Lord the nominee of
the Duke of Norfolk.—(Applause.)
No other candidate being put in nomination, the
Mayor declared Lord Edward Howard duly elected.

Mr. LUCE then came forward, and was received with
mingled cheers and hisses. He said, fourteen or fifteen

the Church would be in danger, the throne would be in
danger, the Peerage would be in danger, and the country
revolutonizsci.—(Hear. hear.) But reform principles
had prevailed ; and what was the result ? Why, that
the Church, the Throne, and Ilse country was in a better

Roman Catholics were trying to obtain the ascendency

ever be gained over the people of England except it
was through the Tories.—(Cheers and hisses.) If he

without respect to the party who proposed it, which he
considered for the good of the country.—(Hear, bear.)
The show of hands was then taken, and declared to
be in favour of Mr. Lovell. A poll was demanded on
behalf of Mr. Luce ; and will take place this day
(Thursday).
The Hon. JAMES HOWARD' the late Member who,
has resigned, then addressed the meeting in favour of
Mr. Luce, the Liberal candidate, but the noise created
by the opponents of that gentleman prevented his being
heard.

The contest is likely to be very close; but the proba-
bilities are in favour of the Liberal, Mr. Luce.
