ARUNDEL.

The election to return a Membei to the ensuing Par-
liament for Arundel took place yesterday, Lord Edward
Howard (son of the Duke of Norfolk) walking over
the course. The town preserved its usual quiet,
and but for the hustings which had been erected
in the market-place, no signs of an election were dis-
played._ _

The Mayor of Arundel (Mr. R. Holmes) presided as
returning officer, and after the usual formalities,
Mr. W. SHAFT proposed, and Mr. MARSHALL se-
conded, the nomination of Lord Edward Howard.
Captain HoLams wished to ask the Noble Lord
question. At the last election Mr. Strutt took the
place
of the Earl of Surrey, and he should like to know whe-
ther his Lordship (the present candidate) had received a
carte blanche for the whole of the session or whether he
entered on a week's notice to
quit.—(Laughter and
cheers.) He considered the Noble Lord the nominee of
the Duke of Norfolk.--(Applause.)
No other candidate being put in nomination, the
Mayor declared Lord Edward Howard duly elected.

years ago it was said that if reform principles prevailed,
the Church would be in danger, the throne would be in
danger, the peerage would be in danger, and the country
revolutionized.—(Hear. hear.) But reform principles
had prevailed ; and what was the result ? Why, that
the Church, the Throne, and -Ike country was in a better

Roman Catholics were trying to obtain the ascendency
in this country, he believed that no ascendency would
ever be gained over the people of England except it
was through the Tories.—(Cheers and hisses.) If he

without respect to the party who proposed it, which he
considered for the good of the country.—(Hear, hoar.)
The show of hands was then taken, and declared to
be in favour of Mr. Lovell. A poll was demanded on
behalf of Mr. Luce ; and will take place this day
(Thursday).
The Hon. JAMES HOWARD, the late Member who,
has resigned, then addressed the meeting in favour of
Mr. Luce, the Liberal candidate, but the noise created
by the opponents of that gentleman prevented his being
heard.

The contest is likely to be very close; but the probe•
bilities are in favour of the Liberal, Mr. Luce.
