THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, J ULY :11, 1837

this important occasion, you will consider. with that calmness
tnd judgment which belong to Englishmen, and I sincerely
hope that that decision may be of a nature to support the st,-
bility of the throne, and protect the institutions of my dearly
beloved country.--(Applause.)
HENRY POWNALL, canna forward, and was received
with loud and repeated cheers. Br“tber electors (said the
Honourable Gentleman), I rejoice to meet you on the pre-
sent occasion, as our, meeting affoeds me an opportunity,
got only of declaring the nature of my political principles,
but it also enables me rebut some charges—( Hear, hear)
—which have been easily, and I had almost said
with much effrontery but before Ido so I beg to call your
attention to two emblems which present themselves to me in
the distance. The first is a wig, which it appears has lost
every curl and ornament ; and the other, which I presume is
intended to illustrate the Jove or our opponents to the Crown,
is the figure of one of the Royal family with a rope round his
neck. Strenuous efforts have been made to impress
upon your minds, that because we are opposed to the :ilea-
sores of the present Government we are equally so to her Ma-
jesty. This, however, is the very reverse of the fact.
There was not in the kingdom a friend to his country who
would not perform the lowest service in order to gratify
her Majesty.,—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") But surely this
is no occasion why I and those who think with me
should be deterred from dragging before the public those acts
which we condemn, and calling upon Ministers for an account
of them. The ex-Member for Middlesex (Mr. Hume) ap-
pears to have beets sadly put about as to the manner in which
lie could best secure a few stray votes, and having no other
resource he was obliged to go to Hanover for the purpose..._
(Cheers and hisses.) That Hon. Gentlemait.has told
you that he has throughout been a consistent politician, and
has intimated :hat I have not. Now, let me ask has he borne
out his insinuation ? I was from the beginning the friend and
advocate of the Reform Bill,:and 8') was anxious for the pass-
ing of every other measure which was calculated to produce
amendment, and not ruin. The Hon. Gantleman has told you
that he had throughout been the consistent friend of education.
Well, so. have I, but what is the kind of education which the
Hon. Member would support ? Is it something similar to that
adopted in Ireland, of which a part of the principle was to
lock up the Holy Scriptures, and to prevent their being read.
[The rain here pourediu torrents.]
Gentlemen, I was anxious to address you at considerable
length, but though I do not feel for myself I must feel for you.
The Hon. Gentlemen then retired to the back of the hustings.
The Sheriffs then called for a show of hands—the rain,
which continued with great severity and without intermission,
having by this time reduced the vast multitude to a few hun-
dreds—and the numbers appeared to be nearly equal fur the
several candidates.

Sir JAMES DUKE said they had a very difficult duty to per-
form, but they were relieved from all difficulty by knowing
that the electors of that county would have an opportunity of
declaring their sentiments at the poll. His colleague (Mr.
Sheriff Johnston) was of opinion that the show of hands was
in favour of Thomas Wood and Henry Pownall, Esqrs.—
( Uproarious cheering from the Conservatives.)
A poll was then demanded on behalf of Messrs Byng and
Hume, and the few persons who had up to that time braved
the severity of the shower hastily dispersed.
Owing to this circumstance the customary vote of thanks to
the Sheriffs as Returning Officers was dispensed with, but the
impartiality and courtesy with.which they had conducted the
entire proceedings entitled them to it as fully as any of their
predecessors. -

The uproar and confusion to which we have occasionally
adverted continued without intermission to the close • but our
position in front of the hustings enabled us to hear what must
have been totally inauJible to ninety-nine out of every hundred
persons composing the immense multitude.

THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

JThe arrivals last week were good of all kinds of grain. The
quantity of Flour was moderate. Wheat manifested a declining
tendency; but other grain remained unaltered. This morning
there was a good fresh supply of Wheat, and moderate of other
Corn. Wheat has suet a heavy sale, and is t.)s. per quarter
lower. In Barley little doing. Beans are dull, at last Monday's
rate . Pease of both kinds Feet very few buyers. Most of the
Foreign Oats hove paid the duty, and last week's prices are barely
supported. There is not much doing in the Flour track, and ship
parcels are offering ar lower rates.
