IPSWICH.
The nomination took place yesterday morning. The
Dorbyite candidates, Messrs. Cobbold and Bateson, first
made their appearance upon the hustings, accompanied
by about fifty of their friends and supporters, preceded
by a mob of about as many bullies, one of whom was
Playing on a fife. The Free-trade candidates, Messrs.
Adair and Hobhousa, soon after came upon the hustings,
with from 100 to 150 persons, who, if one might judge
from their personal appearance, were members of the
constituency of the borough.
The MAYOR having called for a show of hands,
One-third of those present held up their hands in
favour of Messrs. Cobbold and Bateson, and two-thirds
were held up in favour of Messrs. Adair and Llobhouse.
The MAYOR then declared that the show of hands was
in favour of Mr. Hugh Edward Adair and Mr. Thomas
Benjami❑ Hobnouse.
Mr. W. RODWELL demanded a poll in favour of Messrs
Cobbold and Bateson
The contest will, in all probability, be a severe one;
and if we wore to give an opinion as to who are to be
the successful candidates, we should say Mr. Hugh Ed.
ward Adair and Mr. J. C. Cobbold. It any unfair means
are called in, then, i❑ such a case, the issue is uncertain.

LISKE AR D.
Mr. Henry Thomas ft) de, of Mecklenburgh-square,
Louden, has come forward in opposition to Mr. Crow-
der, Q C., but he does not stand the slightest chance in
a borough where there is the greatest unanimity of
feeling amongst the electors in favour of their late re-
presentative. Mr. Ryde declares himself to be in favour
of the maintenance of the Protestant religicn in all its
integrity, and would support the present Government on
all measures based on sound constitutional principles.
