_

The nomination for tae election of two burgesses to
rep' esent this borough in the ensuing Parliament to&k
place at ten o'clock this morning. The immediate
vicinity of the hustings presented an appearance of un-
usual bustle and activity. Notwithstanding the opposi-
tion of all parties the greatest harmony pervaded the
assembly.

The -candidates were received upon the hustings by
their respective friends with the usual demonstrations.

Mr. CHAPMAN, the returning officer, having made the
usual proclamation,
Mr. ROFF, the extensive wharfinger, of Woolwich,
came forward and nominated Alderman Salomons as a
fit and proper person to represent the borough.
Mr. DowsoN seconded the nomination.
Mr. JOYCE proposed Admiral Stewart.
Mr. Gaisuaoow seconded the nomination.
Mr. LAING then proposed Mr. Montagu Chambers.

Mr. KNOTT seconded the nomination.

r. COLES CHiLD seconded the proposition.
Mr. MORGAN, a Chartist, of Deptford, came forward,
and caused a great delay and confusion by proposing a
Chartist candidate, Mr. Knight.
Mr. ANDERSON, another Chartist, seconded the nomi-
nation, amidst doritiva cheers.
Alderman SALOHONS then prtreeded t

electors,
and to assure them that that if they would only
be true to the principles or free trade they would con-
tinue not only to enjoy but receive an increase of the
benefits they had already experienced. Sir Robert
Peel had introduced that admirable ropaiure which had
conferred a lasting beta& on all mankind, no de-
monstrations of his opponent* were brought oat with
vigour. and he

The Queen had thought it necessary to dissolve
Parliament,. and call forth a new representation of the
people.—(Cheers) Tont being so, it was for the elec-

yond his pronaise. He had taken his seat and honestly
attempted to discharge his duties. The law interfered.

to promoteart the principles which he had always advo-
wed, picularly that of the education of the people.
Admiral STEWART then came forward, and notwith-
standing the annoyance and interruption created by the
vast crowd Assembled, said he was a
,Free-tradeein
the purest sense of the word. Ho asked—Was it right,
was it just, to attempt to put an impost on the
importation of corn? (The Gallant Admiral was
fearfully interrupted by evidently either the non
or hired electors of the borough.) He said he
had a proud. desire to represent the borough
of Greenwich; ho might go to Edinburgh and be re.
turned, but still he preferred Greenwich; he had made
his money honestly, and not by horse-racing.—(Cheers.)
After proceeding to refer to the principles which he
had set forth as his claims by his acts in Parliament,
the gallant Admiral concluded by saying that, notwith-
standing the statements that bad been put forth by
his opponents, he felt assured he should be returned
as one of their representatives..
Mr. M. CHAMBERS, who was received with loud cheers.

said his principles were well known; he had put them
forth at public meetings and by his addresses, and they
were known to every elector. The notion with which
he was taunted, that there were empty bellies in Green-
wich—he need hardly say hard work made an empty
stomach—but let every man have a holiday to-morrow,
and he believed he should find him bringing an elector
to the poll, and their motto would be "Chambers, and
the independence of the borough of Greenwich."
Mr. BOLT then came forward and amidst the greatest
possible uproar proceeded to state the reasons that bad
i,,duced him to come •forward to propose himself as a
candidate to represent the borough. He was the friend
and advocate of the poor man, which all knew. He bad
local claims by his position, which his opponents bad
not.—Much interruption.) After proceeding at some
length a show of hands was called for.
The Returning Officer then put the names of the re-
spective candidates.
The show of hands was decidedly in favour of Mr.
Rcit and Mr. M. Chambers; although their opponents,
Admiral Stewart and Alderman Salomons, were far
from being- dissatisfied with the number of hands held
up in their favour.
The Returning Officer having declared the election to
have fallen on P. Bolt and Montagu Chambers, Esqs., a
poll was demanded on the part of Admiral Stewart and
Alderman Salomons, which was appointed for to-morrow.
