tNGLESEY ELECTION.

BEAU M A HIS, FEB. I7.—The nomination of a candidate
to serve in the present Parliament, in place of Sir Richard
Bulkeley, took place yesterday. The candidates are Mr.
Meyrick, on the Conservative interest, and Mr. W. S.
Stanley, brother to the Secretary of the Treasury, on the
Reform interest. Mr. Stanley's friends are very sanguine
as to the successful result of the contest, which will, no
doubt, be a close one. There has been no contest here for
the last fifty years, and the present one has created much
interest. The show of hands was in favour of Mr. Mey-
rick, but that is not deemed of any consequence, as Mr.
Stanley did not wish his friends to conic from their homes
and occupations to afford him such useless support, being
perfectly satisfied with their attendance on the polling days.
At ten o'clock the High Sheriff, Hugh Beaver, Esq.,
opened the County Hall, after which an adjournment bad
been agreed upon to the Castle area. After the writ, the
Act against bribery and corruption, &e. had been read,
HOLLAND GRIFFITH, Esq. proposed Owen Fuller Mey-
rick, Esq., as a fit and proper person to represent the county
of Anglesey in Parliament.—(Loud cheers.)
Major HAMPTON LEWIS seconded the nomination. He
was a Conservative—a Reforming Conservative.—(A
laugh.) It was time every man took his station to protect
the Constitution. " Tempera mutantur, et nos mutamur in
illis." The times were changed •; and the good old Whigs,
he was so delighted to say, were in the ranks of the Con-
servatives.—(Cries of " Where ?") The present Govern-
ment called themselves Whigs ; they might call themselves
what they pleased ; but they were of the principles of
O'Connell and levelling. The Gallant Gentleman then
alluded to the supposed Lichfield House compact, so often
denied, and the Irish appointments, so very lately fully vin-
dicated ; and denounced the Justice Association of Ireland ;
the spirit of that Association, he said, was vote by ballot,
abolition of tithes, reform of the Lords, &c. The last
phrase came glibly off the tongue ; but when they had
abolished the Lords, they had done with the King.—
(Hear.) The Protestant Church was on the verge Of
destruction.—(Oh, bear.) The Gallant Officer then vin-
dicated the Preach war, and the debt it had entailed on the
country, and further vindicated Mr. Meyrick from the
charge of being opposed to Dissenting chapels, saying if
any Dissenters wanted materials for building they should
have them.

Sir H. B. WILLIAMS BI;LKELEY, Bart., then stepped
forward, and was received with loud cheering. In this
country there were two parties, each professing to have the
same end in view, but each pursuing it by a different course.
The Tory party, of which Mr. Myrick was this day the
representative, had for a long time held the reins of Go-
vernment ; and had not only acted contrary to the princi-
ples of the Constitution, but had inflicted great, and he
feared irtemediable, injury on this country.—( Hear.) The
Whigs, on the score of gratitude, deserved the confidence
of every man who earns his bread, whether merchant, agri-
culturist, &c. ; because as a party they bad conferred great
benefit on the country, and deserved its support.—( Hear.)
It would be his pride to propose to them a gentleman, an
honourable member of that party, and whose brother held
a high and responsible office in the present Administration,
—(Cheers.) Let them cast their eyes over the acts of
the Tory Government during the period of their rule. They
hail always resisted the establishment of popular rights, and
the abolition of monopolies. They had not attempted any-
ting to benefit the people ; but three-fourths of their time
had been wasted in a long and protracted war ; a war, the
policy of which was then greatly doubted, and which doubts
were now increased ; but even admitting it to be just, it
was carried on in the spirit of wilful profligacy and extrava-
gance, and it bad ended by leaving this country 800,000,0001.
in debt.—( Hear.? But that was not all—the Tories at
the conclusion o that war bound us neck and heels to
that iniquitous confederation called the Holy Alliance, the
sole object of which was to prevent liberal institutions
being imparted to any country or state.—(Hear, hear.)
He begged to propose to them as a fit and proper person to
represent this county in Parliament, a gentleman of equal
respectability to the gentleman just nominated, of large
possesSions, strict integrity, high moral worth and unim-
peachable independence—W. 0. Stanley, Esq., of Pen-
rhos.—(Loud cheers.) _

CHARLES EVANS, Esq., of Henblas, shortly seconded
the nomination of Mr. Stanley.
Mr. MEYRICK then came forward, and was received with
very general cheering. He had wished his canvass to be
conducted fairly and good-humouredly. Let them call
the Government what they would—it was nothing to him.
—(Hear, hear.) He could not support any measure
which would separate the connection between Church and
State.—(Hear.) That connection had conferred blessings
not only on the Church, but the land, and he hoped it
would long remain.—(Hear.) With respect to vote by
ballot, universal suffrage, and all such things, they did not
meet with his approbation, and he would never support
them ; but he did not mean to oppose such changes in
Church and State as were necessary.—(Loud cheers from
the Meyrickites.)
Mr. STANLEY was received with loud cheering by his
partisans. He would now speak of measures likely to be
brought under the consideration of Parliament, and to
which, if elected, he would give his best consideration. The
first measure was reform in the Municipal Corporations of
Ireland. That just measure had last year been refused by.
•the Lords, and was now again on its passage through the
Commons. He should support that measure as an act of
justice to Ireland. He asserted it to be gross injustice to
refuse the same rights to Ireland as to England and Scot-
land. Why should Britain have the stain upon it—this laud
with its boasted liberty, of being the only Christian state
that excludes from civil rights people who conscientiously
differcm matters of religion ? Was not this the case with
the Catholics and Dissenters ? If returned to Parliament,
he would assist the Government in effacing this stain. He
approved of the policy of the present Government. He
affirmed that the Ministers were entitled to the thanks or
the country for having carried out the leading principles of
their Government—Peace, Reform, Retrenchment. They
had- maintained peace for six years, though their political
opponents said they could not do so for six months.- With
regard to Poor-taws for Ireland, he was of opinion they
were requisite. The Hon. Candidate.concluded amid loud
and continued cheering.
At the conclusion, the High Sheriff called upon the
meeting to declare who was the candidate of their choice,
by a show of hands. He declared it had fallen on Mr.
Meyrick, which was the signal for some tolerable uproari-
ous shouting on the part of his friends.

Colonel J. HUGHES then, on the part of Mr. Stanley,
demanded a poll, which, of course, was acceded to.
Mr. INIEYRICY then proposed the thanks of the meeting
to the High Sheriff, which was carried unanimously.
The polling is fixed for Monday and Tuesday.

-ledrn:ents to the spirited proprietors of The Sun, for the se-
co d edition of that journal, containing the conclusion of the

Derbyshire Courier.

A formidable opposition has risen up, headed by Sit
George Chetwynd, against the proposed railroad between
Tanaworth and Rugby.
CAPTAIN BRENTON'S NAVAL HISTORY, DE-
DICATED BY PERMISSION TO HIS MAJESTY.—WC are sure our
readers will hear with much pleasure that this truly valuable
and interesting book is now completed by the publication of
the Ninth Pat t. The whole work thus forms two large octavo
volumes, containing nearly 1,400 closely printed pages, with
23 portrr.its, plans, &e., and is published at the low price of
31s. 61., ferming the cheapest, and at the same time tile most
complete, naval history ever pro lured ; and which will, no
doubt, be soon found, not only in the library of every officer,
but also in that of every private gentleman in the kingdom.
The town is beginnity, to flit, and many parties are

PICCIOLA.—At a period when the frivolity of mo-
dern works of fiction, and more especially novels of artificial
life, excites the general condemnation of criticism, a concep-
tion at once so bold and simple, so moral and poetical, as that
of M. de Saintine, should be received with favour. Picciola
is the most striking and original tale that has appeared since
the triumphs of " Elizabeth" arid " Online"; or may, perhaps,
'be more aptly described as such a version of Robinson Crusoe,
as Silvio Tellico might have conceived in the affecting loveli-
ness of h.s " Prigioni."
An extensive bed of coal has recently been disco-
vered in the Faugor district, of a quality superior to any
which has ever before been found in India. The position
of the field is about 12 miles south of the Gurrawarra, at the
foot of the hills. " The mere discovery, however," says one
of the radian journals, "is of but little importance, unless
Government come forward and bring the mineral to the
light of day. Here the field for private enterprise is dis-
proportionately large for the few- labourers in it : indeed, we
believe we might possess a second Potosi without the small-
est diversion of ptivate funds being made to work it. It
therefore rests with Government to make the discovery use-
ful to themselves and the country, and towards this they have
many natural facilities. The distance to Mcerzapoor 13 con-
siderable, but the route is open and very accessible for car-
riages ; indeed, we do not see why a railroad should not be
formed at once." It is said that the Government are deterred
from availing themselves of these facilities by an ill-judged
fear of expense.
