ELECTION.

(FROII OUR OWN REPORTERS.)
the nomination was appointed for the early hour of
yesterday morning, and by that time the small and dull
."-o'vri of Aylesbury begin to assume a bustling and lively
13'espearance. The George Inn was selected as the strong-
ha!d of the Disraeli party, and every room was crowded
with Lturdy yeomen, whose various vehicles and cattle
cou,pletely filled the yard of this famous hostelry. A
gmaN brass band, which played soma enlivening airs,
w4s stationed outside, and some half-dczpn blue flags,
with the name of Disraeli and some popular Protectionist
ma noes inscribed upon them, were paraded about the
market-place. The supporters of the Right Hon. Gen_
tleman wore blue and white favours, bat those of his
opponent, Dr. Lee, neither exhibited colours nor made a
display of any kind.

The nomination took place in the County Hall, a small
more resembling the interior
azeient-looking building,
Of a church or chapel than any thin. else.
Mr. Disraeli and Dr. Lee entered the hell shortly
before ten o'clock, accompanied by a few of their sup-
eoeters, and took their places on the benches usually oc-
cupied by the magistrates.
Precisely at ten o'clock the doors of the hall were
opened to the elektors, and there was such a tremendous
rush that in a few minutes the small chamber was
crowded to excess in every part. A portion of the
gallery wee allotted to ladies, and a considerable number
of elegentlie datased ladies availed themselves of the
p lace.
Mr. SCOTT MuraRAY, the sheriff for the county,
briefly stated the object for which the electors had been
celled together, tend slid they would either have to re-
elect the Right Hon. Benjamin Disraeli, or supply his
place be returning some other gentleman.
The UNDER-MIERIFF then read the writ, and also re-
cited the provisions of the Act against Bribery and Cor-
rupti can.
Among those present oia the bench we noticed Lord
Henry L neox, Captain Archdall, Ceptain Vyse, and
the R-v. F. Lirchferd.
Tnroughout the proceedings there were occasionally
ejaeulations which evinced dissent from Prorectionist,
sentiments iwil dieapprobation of Mr. Disraeli': principles,
bat there is nu denying that the Right Honourable
Gentleman was the favourite. The powerful lungs ef
the Buckiaghatwhire farmers and also of their employees,
of whom no doubt there sees a considerable numoer pre-
senr,
effectually drowned ell attempts at free-trade op-
peition. The prop ser ot Mr. Disraeli made a neat, short,
speech which was received with loud applause, but the
apponcler was not so wise, fur he attempted to inflict a
Protectionist diequisition upon the turbulent electors,
which *,3 every now and then interrupted by loud cries
of." Cut it short," " Time," &c. A dramatic incident
occurred in the course of his oration which elicited loud
laughter and cheers. Though avowing himself an opponent
to free trade, he admitted he entertained nu unfriendly
feelings towards his opponents, and in order to give
more effsct to this expression -of his forbear-
ance, he bent forward and warmly shook Dr.
Lee by the hand. At length, however, patience '
could no longer submit to the tedious infliction—missiles
were thrown about in different directions, and, among
the first, an apple, which only escaped the head of the
orator. This proved to be, in truth, an apple of dis-
cord, for immediately afterwards a row commenced,
which never ceased until he had sat down.
Mr. PONSFORD DUNCOXBE, of Missenden Abbey,
then came forward to propose air. Disraeli. He said he
felt he could not better discharge the duty he had to
perform than to do it briefly.—(Hear, hear.) During
the time Mr. Disraeli had represented this county ho
hsid alsks advocated the interest of the constituency,
a.tcl had dote all in his power to restore Protection.
—(Chest, and a voice, " You don't think you'll ever
hive lot again.) Mr. Disraeli was now a member of a
soverninent pledged to support the Established Church,
Red determined to make a last effort to reconcile those
classes who had been too long estranged from each
ether.—(Hear, hear.) As a member of such a Govern-
ment, he had strong claims upon the consti-
tuency, and remembering the great talents of the
Honourable Gentleman himself, and the high office
which he held, he had no hesitation in proposing Mr.
B. Disraeli as a fit and praiser person to represent the
enmity of Buckingham in Parliament.—(Cheers.)
Mr. CARRINGTON, of Missenden Abbey, seconded the
nomination. It was no motive of silly vanity
that induced him to eonie upon the hustings,
but it was to support a gentleman who de-
stirved well of his c entry.—.(Hear, bear.) He
perfectly agreed with all that the proposer had said, and
he only regretted that he had ROL his power of voice to
say a few words in favour of so great a man as Mr.
Disraeli.—(Cheers.) No Member of the House of
C-onamons was so able to give a good account of his
stewardship, and he hoped the Honourable Gentleman
would receive a fair and impartial hearing.—(Cheers.)
For his own part, he was an old-fashioned man; but
though his sentiments might be also old-fashioned they
were, at all events, sincere, while ho believed they
were the best that could be adapted for the interest of
this great country.—(Cheers.) All he asked for himself
and the candidate he seconded was a cleer stage
and no favour.—(Hear, hear.) Every Englishman who
was an Englishman would rn,c reiuse that request; and
looking at the vast services which Mr. Disraeli had ren-
dered the agricultural interest, he west convinced they
would most cordially re-el, cl,' hits.—(Cheers.) No man
in all England had dine more for the class to which
be belonged. He fought their battle without deprecating
the interest of any other, and, both in the House and
oat of it, he had never c-ased to sai;;gle in behalf
of native industry.—(Loud cheers.) This was one
of the principal reasons which induced him
to advocate the. g,:ntlemen's claims upon the constitu-
eecy.—(ilear, beer.) Upon the great question of Pro-
teetion he was fully agreed with the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman, and as far as he could other the opinion of the
Right Hon. Gentleman upon the other great questions
of the day, he believed they were in unison
with his own and the constituency of this splendid
county.—(Cheers.) He avowed publicly and unreser-
vedly that he was no Free-trarier—[A Voice—" Who
said you was?"]—and he was a supporter of her Ma-
jasty's present Government because they were favourable
td protection.—(Cheers.) In case of a war they
could only be prepared for she enemy by returning
to the system which had made the country great, glori-
ous, and free, and he hoped, indeed he was convinced,
the men of Buckinghamshire would with one voice re-
turn the champion of that mighty prinoiple which he had
endeavoured feebly to explain.—(Cheers.) The Hon.
Seconder then, amidst a scene of much confusion, pro-
needed to insist that a duty must be re-imposed upon the
importation of foreign corn of something like 55., which
would only increase the price of the quartern loaf by a
halfpenny, while it would enable the Government to re-
peal the malt-tax and many other similar imposts of an
inquisitorial character.—(Cheers.) But, at all events, of
this he its satisfied that unless free trade were
speedily abandoned the country must go to
mere and ruin, and the Hon. Gentleman concluded a
t 2 a
dicks, prolix speech amidst a shower of apples
and rotten eggS, which appeared to afford much amuse-
uient to the agricultural mind. He heartily and cordially
Wisinitotcsonsredoen:;the nomination of Mr. Disraeli, and-denounced

rather than
"!-: of rrat;iraufactures should tall.—(Cheers.)

working magistrate andthe battle of neighbour, who had fought

Tue Right Hon. Gentleman wished to tax the poor

Oass—(Hear, and cheers,)--but he (Mr. Gibbs) thou4ht
that the imposition of a ss. duty, which was talked of,
was nothing more than a national sin.—(Dissent and
lsrugliter.) If the commercial policy of the country was
revereed, here would be revolutions and disturbances
from one end of it to the other.—(Hisses and laughter.)
After some further observations the Bon. Gentleman sat
down amidst some cheering apol hisses.
Mr. JOSEPH Saiw, coal-merchant, Aylesbury,

-Mr. Disraeli then came forward, and his appearance
*es the signal for loud and prolonged cheers. When
