COVENTRY.

Yesterday the election took place at Coventry, and
for the first time (as our reporter was informed) for more
than forty years, it passed off without opposition. Mr.
Hubbard, the eputy-governor of the Bank of England,
issued his retiring address on Saturday evening. The
city, which had been in a state of ferment for the last
week or two, at once lapsed into comparative quiet, and
at eight o'clock on the morning of the- nomination
scarcely any signs cf an election were to be seen.
After the usual formal proceedings,
Mr. T. BANBURY proposed, and Mr. GooDE, book-
seller, seconded, the nomination of the Right lion. Edw.
Ellice. _ _

Mr. JOSEPH CASH, a !Camber of the Society of Friend,
proposed, and Mr. HENRY GARDNER decunded, the no-
mination of Mr. Geach.

No other candidat9. having been propured, the Mayor
(W. Sergf:ant, Esq.) declared the Right lion. Edward
Eilictrend Charles,Geach, Esq., duty elected to repre-
sent that city in Parlianwnt. The announcement was
received with vocifercui cheering.

Mr. EuacE expressed the sati6Caction he had experi-
enced et the result of the election, and trusted that Co-
veotry would redeem /Lai from the memories of pat
eketioncering disorders. Ho 83, id that th, ugh ho and
his colleague might differ on pints of detail they ip,vt:l-
- dicier on any question involving the improvement
of the people or the extension of their rights.
Mr. GEACU accepted this unopposed return es a tri-
umph of the people's came. Altheugh he might enter-
tain political opinions much in advance of many of his
friends, he had never been insane enough to do that in
the promotion of those principles which served the came
of the common enemy. His fixed determination was to
do his duty to the men of Coventry who, after twelve
months' trial, had given him a renewal of their confi-
dence, and to show his fixed resolve never to swerve from
the advocacy of those advanced reforms for which, from
the out"t of his political life, ho had invariably strug-
gled.—(lmmense cheering.)
Tho two newly-elected M.P.'o afterwards entered a
carritge, and, preceded by a band, banners, &c., paraded
tho town. After the procession was over, they each ad.
dressed their friends from the Craven Arms and Castle
Hotels; with the well-known Coventry " rabble" and the
good-humoured shouts and enthusiasm of the populace,
the election terminated.

BRADFCRD.
The nomination for the borough of Bradford took
place at the Town-ball yesterday.
Mr. W. E. FOSTER proposed Colonel Thompson.
Mr. E. KENION seconded the nomination.
Mr. B. LISTER nominated Mr. Milligan, which was se-
conded by Mr. T. t.,ALT.
Mr. Wickham was then proposed by Mr. J. RAND,
and seconded by Mr. C. IterdsnErr.
On a show of hands being called for, it seemed as if
the bands of every one present were held up for Colonel
Thompson, there being nearly an equal number in fa-
vour of Mr. Milligan. About a third supported Mr.
Wickham, and nearly the same number in favour of
Harney. The Mayor then declared that the election
had fallen upon Colonel Thompson and Mr. Milligan,
when a poll was demanded on the part of Mr. Wick-
ham, which will take place this day (Wednesday), and
the declaration is to be made on Thursday.
