GENERAL ELECTION.

ESSEX.—NINTH DAY.
CHELMSFORD, MONDAY.
At the dose of the day's poll, which took place at
five o'clock, the Sheriff declared the numbers to be—
Tyrell 2,318
Western
Wellesley 1,992

Mr. WESTERN then came forward, and was re-
ceived with the customary tribute of uproar and
catcalls. The Hon. Gentleman said a few words
which were inaudible, and then withdrew.
Colonel TYRELL then presented himself to the
multitude; on which Mr. Wellesley, in a laughing
manner, requested a hearing for the gallant Colonel,
who began by observing, that hitherto he had to
commence his speech by thanking them for the
proud situation in which they had placed him on the
poll, but now he presumed that be ought to begin
by thanking Mr. Wellesley for obtaining a hearing
for him.—(A laugh, and cries of " No, no.")—Lle
was not at a loss to account for the perseverance
which was shown in keeping open the contest. They
all knew the great stake which Mr. Harvey had in
it.—(A laugh, and applause.)—That gentleman had
said, that he would spill the last drop of his blood,
and spend his last shilling, rather than Mr. Welles-
ley should not succeed. For his own part, he
(Colonel Tyrell) was of opinion, that let the con•
test end what way it would, Mr. Harvey would still
be found to have a great stake in it.—(Hisses.)
Mr. WELLESLEY—On his word of honour he
did not at all despair of success, and by keeping the
poll open to the last hour, which he should do—
(Applause)—he still thought that the contest would
terminate in his favour. But at the same time,
there were other modes and means existing in his
mind, at which he had already hinted, and to which
he should indisputably resort, It was impossible
for him not to feel that he was the Member of the
County—the great majority of the plurnpers had
been in his favour, and nothing but a most disgraceful
coalition would baffle him. At all events, for him-
self, he had secured a seat for St. Ives, and us such
he should be happy to assist the freeholders of the
county in any way. A foolish old dotard, Mr. Mon-
tague Burgoyne, had published a placard, recom-
mending them to vote for }din because he had a seat
for St. Ives ; but lie would content himself with the
example of Mr. Windham, who, when he was seek•
ing to represent Norfolk, was at the same time re-
turned for St. Hawes. Above all, he begged of the
freeholders not to despair.
The Sheriff then adjourned the Court to the fol-
owing day.

DINNER of the REFORMERS of LONDON,

TO COMNIEMORATE
THE REVOLUTION IN PARIS.

Yesterday about one hundred and fifty persons as-
ambled tit the London Tavern, to commemorate by
a dinner the late events at Paris, and agree to an
address to the people of that city. This meeting
was brought about chiefly by the instrumentality of
Mr. Cobbett, and he presided on the occasion. At
half-past five that gentleman (accompanied by Sir
Thomas Beevor, his sons, and several other gentle-
men) entered the room, and was warmly greeted.
The company very generally wore some tri-coloured
emblem, and a tri-coloured flag was suspended in the
orchestra, just over the seat of the Chairman. The
flag was at first sweeping over the Chairman's bead,
and on being afterwards raised aloft was cheered by
the company.
Mr. COBBETT mounted the table, and was re-
ceived with enthusiastic cheers. On the cessation
of the applause he went on to say that he was then
turned of 64 years, and that was the happiest day
of his life, not excepting those days when lips
were more sweet to him than dew upon the
cowslip.—(Cheers mid laughter.)—Such times re-
novated him. They almost made a man young
again; and if he believed that he were, it was as
good as being so.—(l..aughter.)—Many persons
then present recollected 1814, when that flag, the
emblem of the true and gallant French nation, was
put down by 1,100,000 armed foreigners, and re-
membered that the roll of these hordes was called
over in the house of Commons. They remembered
the exalting pride of the Aristocracy on that occa-
sion, at having put down that flag; they remem-
bered the exultation with which these Aristocrats
decked their servants and their carriages with white
cockades—at least he remembered it; and he re-.
membered their joy at the tri-coloured flag being an-
nihilated for ever. But that flag was tip again, and
they were met to boast of the event, and send their
thanks anti their praise to the authors of the glorious
achievement. He was there to receive the honour
of presenting to them an Address for their adoption,
to send to the people of Patis. In papers of that
kind, particularly in papers that were solemnly trans-
mitted from one people to another, it was above all
things necessary that they- should contain nothing
but the truth, He would first read the Address,
and afterwards oiler to them a few observations,
Mr. Cobbett accordingly read the following Ad-
dress :

" TOE REFORMERS Or LONDON (Assrmimin AT THE
LONDON TAVERN, ON TILE ltiTH OF AUGUST, 1830)
TO TUE BRAVE PEOPLE OF PARIS.
" PRIENDS.--We, the Reformers of London, speaking
the voice of millions of Englishmen, pt- sent to you our
congratulations on the victory that your valour has obtained
for yourselves, and our best thanks for the good that must
arise from your noble example.
" We, who, and whose fathers have been, for fifty years,
striving in vain to recover
our right of choosing Repre-
sentatives; we, who, liming that struggle, have some--
times seen the chauipious of our cause maimed into jails
and dungeons, and sometimes reduced to silence by Mili-
tary force;
,we, who have heard it declared in the louse
of Commons itself, that the sale, or barter, of seats in
that House was as notorious as the son at noon-day; we,
who know that that House has, for thirty-seven years,
had on its table an oiler to prove, that a majority of the
Members are put in it by the sole will of a hundred and
fifty-four Peers and other rich men, tho truth of which
statement has never been questioned ; we, who have a Press
held in heavy bonds, beset with perilous traps, and so loaded
with tax, that the Government receives fourpence and the
quarter of another penny out of every sixpence., for which
a new paper is sold by the proprietor; we, who be-
hold the imlustrious and labouring classes, of whom
we form a part, brought down to ruin, and, in great num-
bets, reduced to the lowest stage of human degradation,
clad in miserable rags, deprived of a sufficiency of food
fit for man, and, in many cases, actually starved to death,
while those who receive the fruit of our laboor wallow in
wcalo, luxury, mid splendour; we, who well know that
this shameful and hateful state of things arises entirely
from our not being permitted freely to.choose our repre-
sentatives ;
we, who thus suffer, and thus knoW the-
cause of our suffering ; we, who have so long been bereft
even of hope, now, in contemplating - your glorious
achievement, feel that hope revive in our bosoms, and bid
us look forward to happier days,
" When we saw tht, tri-coloured flag torn from you by
combinial Europe, with a million of men in_arms,

mourned from the bottom of our hearts. In that flag
we saw the symbol of the valour and the patriotism of
free men ; the principle of the sovereignty of the people ;
and, above all things, the assertion of that most precions
of all rights, the right of the peop!e freely to choose those
who make the laws ; and we had the sad foreboding,
that, along with this glorious flag, under which freedom
had won her thousand battles, these sacred principles and
rights would be trampled under foot.
"It is; then, with joy unbounded that we again see
this immortal flag in the air. In it we behold the fall of
tyranny decreed ; in it we behold the humiliation of inso-
lent and rapacious Aristocracy.in it we behold a sure
guarantee' for the real liberty of the Press, and for the
right of representation—in it we behold the pledge of
peace and friendship between the people of England and
the people of France; and while this ensign of virtue and
of justice waves over our heads, to an expression of our
admiration of the valour and the wisdom of those who

have again rinsed it aloft, we add our fervent prayer, that
the survivors of the combat may enjoy, through life, God's
choicebt blessings, and that every fairest and sweetest
flower may bloom on the graves of the slain."

After he had read the Address, he said that was
the Address proposed for their adoption. It was
not solely to express their gratitude and admiration
for the French people, for except the gloomy
Boroughmonger, all the natiorreetpressed their
joy and admiration at their conduct ; they were not
met solely to express their admiration for the French
people, but also to'promote their own improVement.
It was impossible for that flag (pointing to the tri-
coloured flag) to continue aloft and our people to
continue in their degraded state. It was a fact that
had been stated, and laid before did-louse of Commons,
that the people of this country were not represented
—that 151 persons, chiefly Members of the Upper
House of Parliament, appointed a majority of those
persons who were called the Representatives of the
people. That had been proved thirtyeseven years
ago. The boroughmongers did not deny the truth
—they did not think it worth taking into considera-
tion ; they would some day or other—but the facts
were notorious, and they could be proved. Never
was such a patient people, or people so willing to
give these boroughmongers the means out of their
earnings to keep up their splendour. Never before
had a patient and willing people waited so long to
get rid of an evil; but he trusted that now they
had waited long enough, and that some efforts
would be made before the set just elected were culled
together—that some means would be fallen upon to
assemble the people together, legally, of course,
and to collect the thoughts of each other before
the new Parliament met. The last time they had
met was in 1817, when 1,500,000 men presented
their humble prayers to that assembly, to allow them
to put down that bribery, drunkenness, and de-
bauchery, which occurred at every election, and oc-
curred in spite of the Royal proclametion for put-
ting down vice and immorality—it was in 1817
that these !rumble supplications were made, and
what was the answer they received ?—None. Yet
there was tut answer—down came a green bag full
of plots and conspiracies, the contents of which no
one was permitted to see but a Select Committee,
and that Committee recommended the passing a
law which gave to the Secretaries of State the
power to shut every Englishman up in a dun-
geon. That was the answer to the people's peti-
tion. Now they would not think of putting such
petitioners in gaols and dungeons.—(A laugh.)—
Then, too, the boroughmongers and their satellites
rejoiced ehnost as much as they did when the flag
was put down, when their footmen hoisted the
.white cockade, and when Orange Boven %yea sung
about the streets; and, by-the-bye, that gentleman
was now quarrelliog with a free Preseeee. then, when
the boroughmongers rejoiced, the people were at a
low ebb, and lie never was in such low spirits—no,
not even when he was shut up in u dungeon with
felons, as when lie saw that flag trampled on, and
when he saw the petitions of the people so an.
swered. There was no hope that the flag would
ever be hoisted again—there was a communication
between all the Governments of Europe to keep it
down, and no communication between the people
to restore it. When things were different, there
was a communication between different people—
between Frenchmen and Englishmen : there was
now a communication to enforce and diffuse liberty,
as there had been formerly to suppress it. They
should recollect that the victory they were met to
celebrate was achieved by the working men of Paris.
It was not done by the Chevaliers' not by the Aris-
tocracy, not by the Members of the Chamber of
Deputies—it was uecomplished by men who felt op.
pression, who were afraid of being bereft of the
fruits of their industry—they won the battle, though
they were afterwards headed by some young men,
whose conduct ought to be imitated by ell the
young men on the face of the globe, limit what did
the French King want to do ? He only wanted to
deprive the people of the power of choosing their
own representatives, of taxing themselves—a power
that we were already deprived of. If we had to
tax ourselves, should we allow ,11d. to be taken out
of every Newspaper that sold for 6d. ? Should we
allow 113 of time Aristocracy to share among them
annually 050,0004 of the people's money ? No,
we should not vote them as many farthings.—
(Cheers.)—They know that we should not give
them anything, and that was time reason why they
would nut allow us to have the power of taxing
ourselves. Why should Mr. lierries's mother and
sister receive u farthing from us ? They never
performed any public service—never benefitted the
people—and why then should the people give them
a large yearly income ? lie was some time ago a clerk
in a public office, and he was now said to be worth
between 200,000/. and 300,000/. The poor people
had to keep their parents ; for if they applied to the
overseer, the overseer inquired after their children;
and if the children were able they were pelled on to
support their parents. Did the Aristocracy do this?
No; they had one law for themselves, and another
for us. They cared nothing for supporting their
parents. Why should tine people of this country
keep Mrs. Herries and her daughter ? Much was said
about the feelings of honour and bight sentiments in
the upper classes, as compared to the middle and
lower classes; but had they feelings of honour—
had they any correct and proper sehtiments, when
they thus auGred their mothers and sisters to be
kept by the people ? They had no demo that there
their relatives were paupers, splendid paupers, as he
called them, lie did not select Mr. Herries invidi-
ously, though that nano; appeated in a return, ob.
mined in 1808, for which we had to thenk Lord
Cochiane— for whole tribes and almonds of the rela-
tives of the aristocracy were quartered on the public
in this way ; people who had any feelings of homier,
should keep themselves. 'Whet provoked him most
was, that these splendid paupers, who, probably,
lived in 11,0410 retired village, were curtsied to as the
benefuetors of the people, who were taxed to sup-
port them. He hail a list of till these, and it was
bound, arid he had made tine bookbinder label it
Splendid Paupers." It was not enough to sati-
rize these ought to be considered hoe
they could be get rid of, In his opinion, if there
should now have a beginning; and if we once hind u

soon after, and then the people might be oath-
fled ; but if the people Were denied restitution,
then it was to be feared that it would lie taken.
They had ail seen Some man neglecting, in the
first instance, to do what was right, When he might
have done it with honour: then resisting it when
he might have escaped without shame; and, at
length, obliged to do what he ut first deniedi and
obliged to do it with sorrow and disgrace. This
would be the case with the borough-mongers. The
people wanted their rights restored, they would not
demolish the government. If, indeed, the country
were so plunged in difficulties, by no will of theirs,
that it could not he relieved; if there were no choice
whether the 300,000 Candies, mostly of the middle
classes, who were the proprietors of the national
debt, could not be saved but by appropriating the:
Crown lands and the revenues of the church to their
use, he would a hundred thousand times sooner see
these revenues so appropriated than -that these
families should be ruined.—(Applause.)—He would
not any longer detain them, but propose that the
Address he had read should be adopted by the
Meeting, as the. Address to be sent to the Peeple of
Paris. (Mr. Cobbett put this motion, Which was
unanimously carried, end with tumultuomi approbas
lion.)--lie bad then-another thing to'propose. It
was of importance that the Address should be
carried to Paris by a gentleman of character; he
should, therefore, propose for that purpose Sir
Thomas Beevor. He was a man worth boasting of.
He was not a boroughmonger, but an independent
country gentleman. The character of 4t hat gentle-
man might assure the meeting that his aecepteoce
of this office would be one of the greatest honours
which could be conferred en the company. The
Hon. Baronet had signified his acceptance of the
office. Mr. Cobbett then put a resolution, Piing
Sir Thomas Beevor be requested: Lo-mrii the
,Address to Perisorrethat he set off arilecitt us pw
sible," which was unanimously agreed to.
Sir THOMAS BREvort—The events which lied re-
cently taken place in France would, he trte,ted,
prove beneficial to France, and they afforded strong
grounds of exultation not only to Frenchmen, but to
Englishmen and to all mankind.--(Cheering.)—
With respect to the proposition that had been made
by Mr, Cobbett, and which they had sanctioned by
their approbation, he had only to say that be had
accepted the office to, which they bad appointed him
--(Cheering)—and that he would proceed with the
least possible delay to perform the duty which be
had undertaken. He would proceed to-morrow
morning—(Applause)---or at least some time los
morrow, and would be happy to be attended by as
many as chose to accompany him on this occasion,.
Mr. COBBETT—IIe had before notified to them
that it was intended that a subscription should be
set on foot in favonr of those who had suffered: in
the cause; and now it became us necessary that a
Treesurer should be nominated, and he proposed
that Sir Thomas Beevor should be the Treasurer,
and that subscriptions, however small, should be paid
to his account into he house of Messrs. Barclay
and Co., who were the agents of the Batik in which
he was concerned at Norwich. He concluded by
moving that Sir T. Beevor be the Treasurer, &c.
Sir T. BEEVOR suggested an alteration. %Jews.
Barclay would not keep an account of small sums,
and he proposed that they should be paid to Mr.
Ackerman, who kept the house at the office of the
Register, to be paid by him when they amounted to
a considerable sum to the Messrs. Barclay on the
account of Sir T. Beevor. The Resolution so altered
was agreed to by acclamation.
Mr. COHRETT then proposed the toast of " The
French Notion and the National Guard."

In proposing another of the toasts, " The King- of
the French," Mr.ConmaT observed that the distinc-
tion between the King of France and the French
King was very material. It meant, you are not the
King of France, for France belongs to us ; you are
King of the French, that is to say, " you are our
head, or, in short, you are our servant, and we a
your inasters." lie then mentioned that Mr. O'Con-
re
nell had been invited to attend the Meeting, and that
Mr. O'Connell had sent an answer which proved
that he was a sincere friend to the cause. Six of
his juniors had been put over the head ot Mr. O'Con-
nell for the silk gown, every one of whom was as
inferior to Mr. O'Connell as a sparrow was to- an
eagle. This must have had a motive, and the ma.
tire could only be, that Mr. O'Connell was not to be
corrupted. It was like a label on Mr. O'Connell's
head, with the words, "'!'his man is nut to be cor-
rupted even by the devils of Boroughmongers." lie
proposed that the letter be read.
The letter was then read ; it apologised for
absence, and called upon the people of England to
imitate those of Ireland, and refute bribes at
elections.

The next toast propoied by Mr. COIIIII{TT was
" The health of General Lafayette and the National
Guard."

Mr, COBBETT, in proposing some or the other
toasts, took occasion to observe that whatever
errors be might have committed through life, he
had never committed the error of abandoning the
cause of the poorer classes of the community.
Their interests he had .invariably supported, and
thereby had supported his order, as Lord Grey' did
his order. As the French had made a change in
the title of their King, he did not know but that
they might be inclined to make a change in the
title of their Army and Navy, and other things.
Here every thing belonged to the King, except the
Debt.—(Applause.)--It was - tho King's Army,
although the people paid it; it was the King't
Navy, although the nation paid it ; bet it .was the
National Debt, and not the King's.
The following were the toasts proposed itt the
course Of the evening t---

" The King of the Flrehell."
" The memory of the People of Paris who died in de-
fence of their liberties ; and health and prasinrity to the

~V IL Colonel gave the remainder of
hie nt ' td Mr. Hamilton, who thus obtained a
majority of six on the day's poll; but Colonel
White is still more than fifty a head on the gross
poll; and IN there are not more than 100 freeholders
yet unpolled, it is probable that Mr. flamilton will
be unable to pull up. I have little doubt, after all,
that Lord Brabazon and Colonel White will be the
sitting Members.—Every beneficed clergyman in
Ireland is ii freeholder. There are 80 of them in
the County ; and with the exception of tin, all the
rest gave " plumper" votes for Mr. Hamilton.
COUNTY ov Cl.altit.—There is no doubt of the
return of Major Maemernera and Mr. O'Gorman
Mahon, although Mr. Lucius O'Brien exhibits a
very powerful interest. On Thursday evening the
poll closed as follows:...
Meenomors 519
O'Gorman Mallon
O'Brien

COUNTY OF MoNAGHAN.—There is a most inte-
resting contest in the county. The candidates are
the lion. Mr. Blaney (son of Lord Blaney), Hon.
Henry Westenra (son of Lord Rossmore), Mr.
Evelyn Shirley (an English gentleman of large for-
tune, who has an extensive estate in the county),
and Mr. Lewis, who stands merely to enable his
friend Mr. Westenra to meet the coalition between
Blaney and Shirley, by having the facility of a se-
cond " in polling. Yesterday evening, the
poll closed as follows :,-Blaney, 355 ; Shirley,
271 ; Weston', 207; Lewis, 44. If each candi-
date stood upon his own interest, Mr. Shirley could
have no deuce, as the greater part of his freeholders
are rendered ineligible by the death of his mother,
who was the last life in their leases. It is said that
Lord Rossmore has succeeded in putting en end to
the coalition. If this be the case, as lam inclined
to believe, Blaney and Shirley must be returned.
OALwax TOWN.—On Thursday evening Mr.
O'Hara was declared duly elected. The numbers
at the close were :—Oliare, 381; Blake, 306.
CITY OF LIMERICK.—Mr. Spring Rice's election
was secure since the commencement. , His majority
yesterday was 250.
COUNTY OF GALWAY.--.-.Tha election for this no-
torious county commenced yesterday. Mr. Thomas
Martin (son of the well-known Colonel Martin) has
resigned in favour, it is said, of Sir John Burke.
Mr. Lambert has a very powerful interest, and it is
generally supposed be will ride first-horse.
COUNTY OP SLlGO.—Gerieral King and Mr.
Cooper have formed ti coalition, which will, in all
probability, secure their elections, to the exclusion of
the other candidate, Mr. Fitzstephen French.
HALF-PAST Two.--I have just seen a letter from
Monaghan, which mentions that a most savage st-
uck was made upon a portion of Mr. Shirley's free-
holders (the Franey men) by a mob from Monaghan.
The freeholders had to retreet to Castleblaney, and
remain there until a troop of horse. arrived to con-
duct them to the busting..
Tttru O'CLOCK.--1 have just learned that a con-
flict took place on Thursday evening between a body
of Orangemen and some Catholics, at the fair of
Muff, county of Cavan. The Orangemen fired on
the Catholics, five of whom were killed, and seve-
ral wounded. At the fair of °mud, which took
place yesterday, similar outrages were expected, us
awned the local Magistrecy bad refused to interfere.

WATERFORD, AUG. 11..—This day, at twelve
o'clock, the election for the enemy commenced. At
that hour the High Sheriff, P. Hum.; Esq., took
his place on the hustings. having gone through the
usual formalities,
Mr. KUILY proposed Lord George lieresford at
a candidate for, their suffrages.
Mr. Bum seconded the nomination,
Mr. H. W. BauttoN proposed Mr. O'Connell,
and called upon freeholders of all classes to vote fbr
him. For many reasons he wished to see Mr.
O'Connell returned; and whoever might be second,
he hoped to see that gentleman et the head of the
poll.
Mr. GALWAY seconded the motion.
Mr. POWER (the late Member) proposed Mr.
Wyt_of as a candidate.
Mr. A. SttEnLoca: seconded the nomination.

Mr. KENNY, a surgeon of this city was then pro-
posed, and seconded by two freeholders, merely for
the purpose of giving him an opportunity of address-
ing the electors.
Mr. STEICLE, of the county of Clare, came for-
ward and requested to be nominated ; his object,
which was similar to that of Mr. Kenny, he said
could not be misunderstood: He was then proposed
and seconded, but he allowed the nomination to he
withdrawn at the request of some friends near him,
amongst whom was Mr. O'Connell.
Lord Geortoi; liffnEseoun was glad to have that
opportunity of explaining some reports which had
been in circulation unfavourable to his character.
The first to which he should advert, was the report
that be had not taken his seat during the last Sea.
*ion. The fact wee, that his election took place
during the Session ; the election was followed shortly
by the Assizes, which he thought it necessary to
attend ; and immediately afterwards followed by the
Easter holidays, and as soon as they were over he

the holidays, and from that period to the close of
the Session he had attended regularly in his place,
except when prevented by a severe attack of gout.
With respect to the imposition of new tales, it was
true that he bad not attended the meeting on the
object of Irish Gentlemen at the Thatched 'louse
Tavern, end his reason was, that he thought the
House of Commons, and not it tavern, the fit piece
for such discuseions; but he would tell the free-
holders what he haul done. A few days after his
arrival in London (knowing as he did the hostility
in Ireland to those taxes) he sent his Noble Rela-
tive, Lord Ifereaford, to the Duke of Wellington,
with a communication against these taxes, and
en intimation that he would give up his situation
in the King's household sooner than vote for these

With regard to the election of Derry, he was willing
to give the fullest explanation, and would at any
time be ready to meet Nir. Dawson on that subject.
It was true that Mr. Dawson had, in his farewell ad.

of the J3eresfords had acted the part of Protestants
in the north of 'refund, end of Catholics in the
south. In this statement the Right lion. Gentle•

fluence; but he did net think he sought too much in
asking for second votes. Ho was ready to render
an account of what he had done, end he claimed
support because he did the duty of his constituents,
and be should continue to do so, notwithstanding
the paltry conspiracy of the London Press. They
might have put Mr. Burke down, but they could not
put down him (Mr. O'Connell). lie pledged him-
self particularly to pay attention to the local interests
of Waterford, and to use his best exertions to man-
eipate the trade with India from the trammels which
bound it—on every stage of that measure he should
be at his post. He should also move fora repeal
of the Sub-letting Act, rind if supported by Irish
Members, he had no doubt that he should soon
succeed. •To the present Grand jury system he
was also opposed. This required revision, and
what he should propose was, that two persons
should. be elected in each barony to applot the
county rates, subject to the approval of the
Grand Jury. He wished to see the tithe system
altogether altered, the Clergy of the Esta-
blished Church to be paid according to their deserts,
and no sect compelled to support the Clergy of
another. For Radical Reform he was an advocate, and
thought that no man ought to be taxed unless he
had a voice in electing Representatives. His plan
comprised three points—triennial Parliaments, uni-
versal suffrage, and voting by ballot. To the two
latter, Mr. Brougham was opposed, and at one of
these that Hon. Member had sneered. Here the
Learned Gentleman dwelt at considerable length on
the necessity of repealing the Union, and in eu-
logising the present French Revolution. Though
thankful to the Duke of Wellington for passing the
Relief Bill, be could not support an Administration
which had riot given effect to that measure, and
which bad accompanied that act with a clause ex-
cluding him from Parliament, and continued their
hostility to him by not including him in the list of
Irish Barristers who had lately gotten silk gowns
aod he also blamed the Noble Duke for his conduct
towards the Irish Catholic Bishops and the Mo-
nastic Orders of the country. As to himself, a silk
gown might be offered to him with perfect safety, us
he should have declined it, but with that courtesy
which, he hoped, he always exhibited ; he should
have said to the Noble Duke, " You. have done •
right, but I cannot accept it." The Noble Duke he
also thought the enemy of the Press; not that the
Press in England was attacked with the open man.
liners of a Polignac, but with the chicanery of the
lowest practitioner in his profession. He did not
profess neutrality on political subjects ; but with re-
gard to this election be had given a pledge, and
sooner than violate it he should give up the county.
7-(Cries of " No coalition," and strong symptoms of
disapprobation.)--He did not presume to dictate to
the electors, who had to ask themselves who it was
that was likely to do their business.—(Hear, hear.)
--If he were returned again into Parliament, he
should every night, at nine o'clock, move the ad-
journment of the House; at all events, he pledged
himself that they should not sit after eleven o'clock.
This course would soon force the House to the ne-
cessity of sitting by day, which was the proper time
for transacting public business.
Mr. It. PowErt, brother to the late Member,
wished to ask the Learned Gentleman if any change
had taken place in his conduct since his arrival in
.the county, and if such were the case, he wished to
know the reason of it Ile understood that to
Clonmell and Carrick lie had denounced the Beres-
fords, but that when the Learned Gentleman had
got as far as Lismore, he had shown better taste, and
held out the olive branch. •

Mr. O'CotsNtaa. said, the question was a fair one.
lis thought when be was coming into the county
that he should be met in a spirit of hostility, and
that be should have to fight his way through it. He
began at Carrick, where he received the Waterford
Mail, in which he was as well abused as a man could
wish to be. Finding he was thus attacked, he began
to retaliate; but he afterwards was met there by
some gentlemen, Catholics and others, who had sup-
ported Lord George Beresford at the last election,
who told him they could not, consistently, support
him in such a course, after the pledges of concilia-
tion which had been uniformly made. He then said,
that the moment he went to Waterford he should
proclaim conciliation; but if attacked he should
reserve to himself the right to retaliate. [This ex-
planation was received with mingled cheers and dis-
approbation, owing to an impression that there exists
some understanding between the friends of Lord
fleresford and Mr. O'Connell to exclude Mr. Wyse.]

Lord GEoamtt litotEsFottp disclaimed any con-
nexion or participation in the article upon Mr.
O'Connell in the Walojbril Mail. lie looked upon
that gentleman as fairly entitled to solicit the repre-
sentation of the county ; and he (Lord George
Beresford) had no right to abuse him, but should
observe towards him the courtesy due froM one
gentleman to another.

'Wvsti rose amidst loud cheers.—For the
private character of Lord George Ileresford he had
the highest respect ; and if he could obtain certain
pledges from that Noble Lord, be should retire from
the contest. lie would rod( if the Noble Lord
would consent to a commutation of tithes, and to

pay each Pastor according to his deserts ? Would
e give effect to that great and first principle of the
Constitution—namely, that there should be no tax-
ation without representation ? Would he support
triennial Parliaments and Constitutional reform ? If
the Noble Lord did not support these measures, the
electors were bound to find a fitter man fur their
representative. It had been said that party pro-
cessions were abandoned in the South; but did they
not exist in the North ? And he culled upon the
Noble Lord to exercise his influence to suppress
them in that quarter.

Mr. O'CoNNEtt. said he had omitted to reply to
one part of the inquiry made of him by his friend
Mr. Power—namely, the cause of his delay in Dub-
lin. The fact was, that upon his arrival in Dublin
he was attacked with a slow fever, which pre-
vented him even from attending the election at
Drogheda, where his son was a candidate, nor could
he attend at Carrickfergus, where he bad under-
taken to defend gratuitously a prosecution against

the Press ; us sour► as ho wt►s so-mewhat recovered
he was obliged to attend the Galway Assizes, for
which he had previously received a retainer of 2301.,
and from thence he came, as soon as he could, to
'Waterford,—(This additional explanation was re-
ceived without any detnonstraticn of feeling, and in
silence.)
Mr. KENNY, the fourth candidate, said, much as he
detested the politics of the Beresford family, he pre-
ferred the manly avowal of the Noble Lord's prin-
cipled, to the insidious art►fices which lied been used
to prevent Mr. Wyse from being returned, or even
of offering l►imself as a candidate. ills first wish
was the return of Mr. O'Connell; but as that was

not certain, there ought to be no objection on the
putt of O'Connell to the return of a second

liberal etindidate.

A show of hands was then called for by the limit

Mr. O'Connell and Mr. Wyse. A, poll was de-
mantled on the part of Lord George Beresford, and
the next day, at nine o'clock, was fixed for com-
mencing the poll.

Lord George Beresford and Mr. O'Connell, after
the usual proclamation, were then declared elected,
and they both returned thanks ; the hitter, in a
long speech, at the close of which he solicited the
honour of his Noble Colleague's acquaintance; upon
which Lord George Beresford rose—the two Mem-
hers shook hands cordially, and the Court broke up.
A chairing of the new Members has been spoken
of by some persons, but whether singly or together,
was considered a point of some difficulty. This is,
however, removed by the departure of Mr. O'Con-
nell, who has just left town in company with his
friend Mr. Steele; and the other Member has also
refused such an exhibition.
