The newly-elected members having addressed the as-

towns, numerous bands of music, and a profuse display
of flags and banners, with coaches and carriages, form-

ABINGDON.
The election of a Member to represent this borough
in the next Parliament took place yesterday. General
Caultidd was the only candidate, his return being unop-
posed by the late Member, Sir F. Thesiger, in conse-
quenc of a mutual arrangem,mt at the time of the ac-
cession to office or the present Ainistry. A second can-
didate, is the person of G. W. El ipe, issued an address
to the electors, but without any serious intention to
conzeat the borough, as he withdrew early this morning.
Tna proce.eding4 occupied a very short time, and tme
tow, a presented but little deviation from its aciu,tomed
tranquillity. After the usual preliminaries had been
r4one throu4h, the Ilayor called upon those electors who
had candidates to pr,pose.
Mr. GABRIEL DAVIES pr-posed, and Mr. EDWIN
PAYNE Secouled, General Caulfield as a fit and proper
person to represent the borough.
After asking if there was any other candidate, the
Mayor declared General Caulfield duly elected.

MIDDLESEX.
A meeting of the electors was held yesterday at the
publ.io rooms, Uxbridge, to bear addresses from Lord
Robert Grosvenor and Slr. Osborne. As the announce-
Ment had been put forward that morning of the intention
to start a Tory candidate, an additional interest was im-
parted to the proceedings, and there was a crowded
attendance. It was market day in Uxbridge, and this
usually quiet little place displayed all the bustle indica-
tive of an approaching election. Placards were posted
in all directions, as well in the interest of the late Mem-
bers as in that of the expected candidate, the " dark
hone," of whom all that seems to be known is, that he is
an aeatiegaynooth man. His bias dwell emphatically
on the blessings of our " Protestant Constitution," and
wind up with a strong recommendation to the electors
ire " beware of Osborne."
Mr. T. N. Riches presided.
Lord R. GROSVENOR was received withgreat cheering.
He referred to his kind reception on former occasions in
that room, and expressed a hope that he had not lost
their confidinca but that he had faithfully and con-
scientiously dig charged the obligations conferred on him
at the last election. There were then three candideoes;
now there were but two; and though he was sorry for
this on account of the
electors, knowing how dull an
uncontested election was, be was not sorry for himself
ivad his colleague.—(Hear, hear.) The electors had been
'asked to reserve their votes; be knew not whether they
were to have a contest or not; but, contest or none, he
was exceedingly glad of opportunity of appearing

Protection wets now to be abandoned for revsion of taxa-
V'arls whereby the poor agriculturists were to be com-
pensated for the logs of the corn-laws. Still the Go-
vernment stubbornly refused to state what their pro-
posal was to be. Had they proposed such a reduc-
tion of
exPenditure, or to lighten the burdens of the
people generally, they would have commanded his
respect.—( i

Still he was not a party man. He
had always acted as the represen •

the present Ministers brought in good measures they
would receive his support. Though speaking in the
midst of an agricultural district, he must express his hope
tha- the old corn-laws were
gene for ever.-...(ebeer..)
It might have been better had they been less abruptly
repealed, for the tenant-farmers bad undoubtedly suf-
fered much. Prices had just been. artificially raised,
owing to the famine in Ireland, and landlords were na-
