. _
Sir NI. S. STE WART said he had been nominated as

would continue to support it.

unanimously elected.

HADDINGTONSIIIRE.—TIIe election of a Member
of Parliament for the county of East Lothian being
fixed for Monday, the inhabitants of the burgh of
Haddington exhibited as much excitement and in-
tense interest in the result, which, however, was in
no way doubtful, as if each householder had been a
voter. Great numbers wore ribauds, scarlet and
yellow, and several flags were displayed—one of
which bore the words " Sir David Baird and the
Reformers of East Lothian." Shortly before twelve
o'clock Sir David aHd Sir Thomas Dick Lauder,
who were altogether in an open carriage, were drawn
into the town by the populece, amid the cheers of
those assembled to receive them.

Sir F. W. DRUMMOND having been chosen Chair-
man,

Mr. HALL, jun. of Dunglass, begged to propose
Mr. Balfour, of Whittinghame, as a fit person to re-
present the county.—( Hissing.) He was decidedly
opposed to that sweeping measure of radicid Reform
brought forward by his Majesty's Ministers; and in
that he (Mr. Hall) cordially agieel with him.
Mr. HUNTER, of Thurston, seconded the nomi-
nation.

Mr. FERGUSON, of Rail h, proposed Sir David Baird
as n fit Net son to lepresent t he county ; and, wha ever
might be the success of this nomination, he consi-
dered it his duty to record his opinions, and lend
his assistance to that great rause which now agi•
toted the eountry.—(Cheers.)
The nomination was seconded by Sir T. D.
LAUDER.

Air. Balfour, S'r David Baird, and Fe. era) others
having deity( red rleir sentiments,
The roll was then called, when forty freeholders
v.iteil for Mr. Balt ur, and eleven for Sir D. Baird.
The CHAIRMAN declared Mr. Balfour duly elected,
arid that grotirmait thanked tiie electors, but was
not heard, from the noise that prevailed.

,fir D. BAIRD also addressed his friends, and
slid that he had the authority of the Lord Advocate
to st ire, that his Lordship had been misrepotted as
to the contemplated alterations in the qualification.
His Lo dsh p said that the qualification a ould trot be
1001., nor 7J/., twr 501., nor 2.sl—at.d that the va•
uation would be betwe. n 201. and 10/.
The meeting then broke up.

The county from one end to the other takes the
greatest interest in the ensuing election. Thou-
s olds are preparing in all qurrers to march for
Lan n k on the 13th. Report says that the Stiathaven
loyalists will be accompanied with a band of music,
Those in the Larkball district by the Dslserf band.
Newtown of Wishaw, Stone Iron Works, and Car-
hike by the \Vishaw•ton band. Lismahagow by
t6eir own band. The people of Lanark and New
Lanark by the band belonging to the latter place,
which will make a very noisy caralc•atic, and the
Viousarris said to be coming from other quarters will
mike the scene numerous, grand, and imposing, if
conducted in the same orderly manner as the late
Glasgow pt °cession. To see such a multitude ye-
luntirily congregated fot the praiseworthy object of
testifying their loyalty to the King, and respect for
the executive Government of the country, must be
highly gritifying to the lovers of good order.—
Glasgow Chronicle.

A correspondent informs us, that the clergy.
man of a living beloni!ing to Wells Cathedral a,tallly
hired and conveyed to that city, on Friday last, ahuut 20
miners, armed with bludgeons, either to kick up a row nr
to defend Mr. GOaDoN, the Anti-Reform candidate. A
pretty agency on the part of a minister of pzaee.-211ons-
ing Paper.

At Chard, and in short every town in this
county, the subscriptions and fervent efforts in favour of
Messrs. SANFORD and LANCTOS' have been on the most
liberal scale. No amount of subscription, we verily be-
lieve, could have counteracted the universality of sentiment
prevalent on this occasion.— Taunton Courier.
CORK ELECTION.—A very curious instance
of want of management on the part of the Anti-
R-fornuers occurred at the election for this city. They
had a candidate, the lion. Major MASSEY, ready to start,
but they expected, and had written for funds from the
Charles-street Committee, in order to meet the expenc,s
of the election. The election was fixed for Friday—no
funds, up to the hour of post that day, hail arrived; and
Mr. MassEv, in consequence, sent in his resignation ;
the Reformers were duly elected. Next day, however,
came a credit remittance for 2,000/. on a hank in Cork,
with a guarantee front two of the Fellows of Trinity
College of 1.00(11. additional. The annoyance this caused
among the Brunswick freemen of Cork it weuld be impos-
sible to describe.
