LOUTH.

The election for the county took place on Wed-
nesday.
The limit SHERIFF (Robert Pentland, Esq.)
having read the writ of election,
T. FITZGERALD, Esq., of Fane-valley, proposed
their late worthy representative, Alexander Dawson,
Esq., as a fit person to be again intrusted with the
representation of the county in Parliament.
GEORGE TAAFFE, of Smarmore Castle, Esq.,
seconded the nomination of Mr. Dawson amid con-
siderable applause.
HUGH O'CALLAGHAN, of Culloville, Esq., pro-
posed Richard Sheil, Esq., as a fit and proper person
to represent the county of Louth in Parliament, who
was seconded by John Henry, of Richardstown, Earl.
The lirom SHERIFF having put the question, and
there being no opposition, declared Alexander Daw-
son and Richard Shell, Esqrs. duly elected, which
was received with applause by the entire assembly.
Mr. DAwsON came forward, and returned thanks.
Mr. SIIEIL was received with enthusiastic cheers.
He said that when he last stood in that spot he was
placed under far different circumstances. He was
himself subdued by his emotions, and lie saw large
,tears trickling down the faces of those who were
little accustomed to weep. The defeat sustained by
the popular •
interests had stricken the people to the
heart. But now—now, my friends and compatriots,
I stand amongst you with a high and a triumphant
consciousness, and
I behold in every countenance
which the brightness should attend so glorious a
success. I cannot refr •
eminence
from turning back, and
looking from this
ncetio the scenes through
which I have passed before
had 6 reached to this
18, lofty point. I came here in I was induced
to come chiefly by lay friends(theyetirny fast and
true ones), Messrs. James
and

most who have acted towards me with an
most enthusiastic friendship. i
liberation of the county.—(Cheers.) Emancipation
the
was not passed, but I saw its approaches-4 per-
ceived liberty advancing towards Ireland. Others
more dimly sighted did not see her. I beheld her
treading on with a rapid march, and knew that she
must arrive. I hailed her from afar, and I announced
my determination to seek for the laurel which I
contributed to plant on another's forehead. I as
cheered by, those who afterwards opposed me. The
great opportunity came at last, and I appeared
amongst you. The Bellew family encountered mei

—I was foiled—and your cause was lost with my
defeat. The Marquis of Anglesea magnanimously re-
solved to do for me what Louth had not accomplished.
I gained admission to Parliament through a close
borough, through his generous intervention. I was
told so by Sir Robert Peel. I was galled by the ad-
monition—so were you. Parliament was dissolved.
I was summoned to return and put your hearts to
the test. My supporters (my old ones), O'Calla-
ghan and Fitzgerald, and my new and ardent friend
Mr. Stafford, invited me to enter this noble arena
again. I came, and I have conquered.—(Cheers.)
—All opposition vanished. Sir P. Bellew, with a
noble promptitude, repaired any wrong which he
might previously have inflicted,—not, perhaps,
without some provocation,—and obeying the public
will, and acting in accordance with his own better
feelings, he not only has made way for me, but he
has given me his support.—(Loud cheers.)—He
has rescued us from all the baneful results of divi-
sion ; he has foiled our enemies ; and he has, by
placing the popular power on a permanent and deep
foundation of unanimity, given himself a title to
your gratitude.—(Loud cheering.)—An attempt has
been made to detract from the merit of his resigna-
tion; and I have seen absurd reports that he was
promised rank and honours by the Government, in
return for his support. The allegation is entirely
devoid of truth : he has acted in conformity with
his own just feelings, in obedience to the general
will, with a view to the preservation of your inde-
pendence, and to the acquisition of what he so well
deserves—the confidence of the people. Here
then I stand, the Member for Louth at last—
(Great cheering)—and if I here feel that I am
exalted to a nobler position, how much more proud
a consciousness I must needs experience, when I
shall stand on the floor of the British Senate, your—
the people's—my country's representative ? Not
the Member for a close borough,—not with the as-
sociation of Milberne Port about my name, and its
iteration in my ear—but the Member for that
county which was foremost to break through the
vassalage of the aristocracy, and which occupies so
high a place in the annals of our national regenera-
tion. Do you ask me what course I shall pursue ?
Promises are easily made—l was going to add that
they are easily broken. I should correct myself—
you have bound me to my country by the ligaments
of gratitude and of honour, and thrown a chain
about us which I can never sever. Trust me, I shall
be true to you.—(Cheers.) I shall tell England
your wants, and enforce your rights. I shall ex-
hibit your real condition, and teach the British Par-
liament to beware how they force us to that of
which the ocean is apt to put us in mind. They
must be just to Ireland. If it be attempted to adopt
a Gascoyne system of legislation (if I may create
a phrase out of the gallant but discomfited General),
if they should treat Ireland as a mere appendage, a
poor appurtenance to their empire, trust me, that
however I may be disposed to sustain the greatness
of that empire and its glory, I shall remember what
is due to the land of my birth and of my affections,
and give to my own dear country a paramount in-
terest is my heart. But I entertain no doubt of
the wisdom and just feeling which actuate that
good and glorious Government by which the great
measure of Reform has been devised. That Ireland
is susceptible of conciliation, I cannot make any
question, and that the Government will do all in
their power, arid much is requisite, to effect that
important object. I have as little doubt the British
Cabinet, and the Marquis of Anglesea, a name
which I can never utter without emotion, have at
heart the prosperity and peace of Ireland; arid it is
but necessary to point out the clear path to improve-
ment, to induce them to enter it with alacrity. The
Hon. Gentleman concluded, amidst the most enthu-
siastic applause, by assuring them of his determina-
tion faithfully to advocate their cause in the British
senate.

The deed of return having been signed in the
usual manner the Court was dissolved by the
Sheriff at about half-past twelve.

CORNWALL ELECTION..-- Sir RICHARD
VVVYAN'S parting address to his former constituents is
remarkable fur the ingenuousness with which the de-
feated Baronet acknowledges the almost unanimous feel-
ing throughout the county in favour of Reform. He
says—" Until I was convinced that success was hopeless,
I resolved to persevere, and, undismayed by the continued
and increasigg majorities of the opposite party, I waited
until my opponents hed polled a larger number than that
of the freeholders who promi:sed roe support, before I was
satisfied that it was the will of the majority of those who
who were inclined to vote that I should not he one of the
representatiwea of Cornwall."—The Cornish Baronet calls
his constituency " one of the most intelligent in the
United Kingdom." We can asppre Sir RICHARD that

It is understood that the Bank Directors have
at length been compelled to resort to the only certain
mode of getting rid of their surplus of silver coin, by con-
verting it into bars. The process, we are assured, has
been going cn for some time, so that the inconvenience
arising from it is probably in great measure at an end.
Some say that to the value of 1,000,0001. sterling has
been already in this manner disposed of. It was obvious,
as has been stated in former discussions on this subject,
that it must ultimately come to this ; and it would have
been better, perhaps, if it had not been so long delayed,
but a difficulty no doubt arose as to where the loss was to
fall, for the Government would of course require to have
the necessity of the measure fully established before they
would consent to incur it ; on the Bank it clearly ought
not to fall, unless perhaps from a mistake in judgment in
recommending it. The Government, too, having had the
profit on the original coinage of the silver, is fairly called
upon to refund when the discovery is made that more has
been issued than can possibly be kept in circulation. The
seignorage on the silver coin, it is now abundantly proved,
was fixed much too high, and at least it ought to have
been foreseen that it was idle, with such a seignorage, to
attempt to introduce it into the colonies. The whole sent
has found its way back, and this is one of the causes of
the excess complained of. What the surplus is cannot be
exactly known ; but we should not think it over estimated
at 2,000,000/. or 2,500,0001. sterling. The loss conse-
quent on its reduction into bars, allowing for the wear of
the coinage, is not less than 12 per cent. The process
will be beneficial to a certain extent in supplying silver
for the demand now going op for exportation, which will
keep the foreign exchanges from falling, and prevent the
distraction of so much, as would otherwise be the case,
of our gold circulation. In consequence of the over-sup-
ply of silver coin, none of the new coinage of the resent
reign has yet been issued.— Times.
