No other candidate being proposed, General Lygon
and Mr. Knight were declared elected.
The Hon. General H. 13. LYON then addressed the
freeholders, and, after alluding to the kindness of his
reception, said it was a difficult thing in these times for
a Member of Parliament to please himself, and a much
more difficult thing for him to please his constituents—
(A laugh)--but, if he had had the good fortune to merit
their approval heretofore, ho - should follow the same

of the present day was, whether they should have a

the best interests of the country, and in accordance with
the Briti=h Constitution.—(Cheers.).
Mr. KNIGHT said this was the third time that he had

policy of bE7IcEI ind, and he. had voted steadily in the
Howse of Commons"npon those' principles. It was a
great pleasure to him to find that, while following that
course, he had given so much satisfaction to his consti-
tuents as to be returned again without opposition. With
regard to future politics, there was not one vote which
he bad given which; under sitnilar circumstances, he
would net. give again: He did not wish to retract one
single vote. He had given them

Lord Derby was gaining
ground *rapidly.—(Cheeri and groans.) He had
gained 2 seats in the boroughs, which would count
46 on a division—(Loud cheers)—and all the county
elections were yet to come. Although the Government
had been laughed at for their supposed inexperience,
Lord Derby had brought forward 88 Bills in the last
short session, and had passed them all. There had been
no "massacre of the innocents." The Government had
proposed to give seats for boroughs notoriously venal to
a large county and constituency in the north of England.
This showed their deSire for reasonable representative
reform, but the other side had opposed it. Lord Derby

much wmted, as be could himself testify, for he had
been in Chancery most of his life, and he confessed he
did not like it. They were also promised reform in the
common law.—(A voice, "We want cheap bread."

Worcestershire who would not agree with him on the ne-
