GREENWICH ELECTION.
(THIS DAY.)
The nomination for the election of two burgesses to
represent this borough in the ensuing Parliament took
place at ten o'clockthis morning. The immediate
vicinity of the hustu!gs presented an appearance of un-
usual bustle and activity. Notwithataading the opposi-
tion of all patties the greatest harmony .pervaded the

assembly.
The candidates were received upon the hustings by
their respective friends with the usual demonstrations.
Mr. CHAPMAN, the returning officer, having made the
usual proclamation,
Mr. ROFF, the extensive wharfinger, of Woolwich,
came forward and nominated Alderman Salomons as a
fit and proper person to represent the borough.
Mr. Dowsore seconded the nomination.
Mr. JOYCE proposed Admiral Stewart.
Mr. GRISBROOK seconded the nomination.
Mr. LAING then proposed Mr. Montagu Chambers.
M. KNOTT seconded the nomination.
Sir THOMAS MARYON WILSON then came forward'
amidst vehement cheetieg, to propose Mr. Reit.
Mr. COLE 3 CHiLD seconded tho proposition. ward,
Mr. MORGAN, a Chartist, of Deptford,
and caused a great eeley and confusion by proposing a
Chartist candidate, ar. Knight. came forward,
Mr. ANDERSON, another Chartist, seconded the nomi-
nation, amidst derisive cheers.
Alderman SALO3IONS then proceeded to address the
electors, and to assure them that that
be true to the principles of free trade: theythey wouldwouldonly
be
yinc of the
rease
con-
tinue not only to enjoy but receive. a
benefits they had already experienced. Sir Robert
Peel had introduced that admirable
measure which had
conferred a lasting benefit on all anknd. The de-
monstrations of his opponents were brought out with
vigour, and ho might say
with vast expense.—
(Cheers.) Who pays
the Government?—(Cheers.)
The Queen had thought it necessary to dissolve
Parliament, and
call forth a new representation of the
people.—(Cheers.) Tbat being so, it was for the elec-
tors of Greenwiche. to say who were the proper persons
to represent
them lieth had performed the promises
made t
_oisne. hi s former election. He had gone be-
yond his Pr°l3l He had taken his seat and honestly
attempted to discharge his duties. The law interfered.
There were, however, three judges against him, or
rather two and a half against him, and the remainder in
his rayonr• If now returned, he would do all he could
promote the principles which he had always
- advo-
cated,o particularly that of the education of the people.
Admiral STEWART then came forward, and notwith-
standing the annoyance and interruption created by the
vast crowd "assembled, said he was a Free-trader in
the purest sense of the word. Ho asked—Was it right,
was it just, to attempt to put an impost on the
importation of corn? (The Gallant Admiral was
fearfully interrupted by evidently either tho non
or hired electors of the borough.) He said he
bad a proud desire to represent the borough
of Greenwich; ho might go to Edinburgh and be re-
turned, but still he preferred Greenwich; he had made
his money honestly, and not by horse-racing.—(Cheers.)
After proceeding to refer to the principles which he
had set forth as his claims by his acts in Parliament,
the gallant Admiral concluded by saying that, notwith-
standing the statements that had been put forth by
his opponents, he felt assured he should be returned
as one of their representatives.
Mr. M. CHAMBERS, who was received with loud cheers,
said his principles were well known; he had put them
forth at public meetings and by his addresses, and they
were known to every elector. The notion with which
be was taunted, that there were empty bellies in Green-
wich—he need hardly say hard work made an empty
stomach—but let every man have a holiday tomorrow,
and he believed he should find him bringing an elector
to the poll, and their motto would be "Chambers, and
the' independence of the borough of Greenwich."
Mr. ROLT then came forward and amidst the greatest
possible uproar proceeded to state the reasons that bad
iaduced him to come forward to propose himself as a
candidate to represent the borough. Ho was the friend
and advocate ct the poor man, ;hicla all knew. He had
local claims by his position, which his opponents had
no'.—(Much interruption.) After proceeding at some
length a show of hands was coaled for.
The Returning Officer then put the names of the re-
spective candidates.
The show of hands was decidedly in favour of Mr.
Bolt and Mr. M. Cbarabers ; although their opponents,
Admiral Ste eart ,and Alderman Salomons, were far
from being dissatisfied with the number of hands held
up in their favour.
The Returning Officer having declared the election to
have fallen on P. Rolt and Montagu Chambers, Esqs., a
poll was demaaded on the part of Admiral Stewart and
Alderman Salornous, which was appointed for to-morrow.
