The nomination took place on Monday. The candi-
dates w ere —ll-ssi s. Gregory and Grogan, the old Mem-
bers;. Mr. Reynolds, Revaler; and Mr. Ferrand, Orange-
man. The latter gentleman will not go to the poll. Mr.
Reynolds had not, it would appear, lodged in the Sheriffs
the required deposit to pay tor the erection of polling
booths.
The HIGH SHERIFF declared the show of hands to be
in favour of Mr. Grogan (Conservative), and Mr. Rey-
nolds (Repealer).
Mr. GREGORY demanded a poll.
Mr. BRERETGN, on behalf of Mr. Gregory, observed
that he had lodged the required deposit, and contended
that if Mr. Reynolds did not lodge his share at once,
the Sheriff was bound to declare Messrs. Grogan and
Gregory duly elected.
Mr. KELLY said that Mr. Reynolds might lodge the
money at any time previous to the hour fixed for polling.
The SHERIFF expressed his disinclination to incur the
expense of polling places without the prescribed in-
demnity; but
Mr. REYNOLDS argued he had time enough to comply
with the conditions.

Finally, at six o'clock, it was agreed that the Sheriff
should'attend to•morrcW, at twelve o'clock, to swear in
the deputies and poll-Cletki, and if Mr. Reyr.olds should
book up the cash by Wednesday, then to proceed with
the poll.

The Court then adjourned.

newly-elected Liberal Member for Maldon, and seconded
by Mr. S. Gurney. The show of hands was in favour
of Sir E. Buxton and Mr. Bramstone, and there is every
prospect of the triumphant return of the Hon. Baronet.

GLOUCESTERSHIRE WEST
DURSLEY, TUESDAY NIGHT.—The nomination of can-
didates to represent this division of the county of Glou-
t ester took place to-day. A hustings had been erected
for the purpose by the authorities, but the preAt had
been entirely ovf•rlot,ked in the arrangements. No re-
porters' box had been provided as at other places,
and the reporters had to take their notes as best
they could, holding their beoks in their hands, and
pushed about in all direetians; .
As mitatit have been expected, considering the nature
of the contest, au unusual amount of excitement prevailed
in the town, the friends of the different candidates evi-
dently straining every nerve to secure the " show of
hands." The castle party had special trains, and brought
up a number of persons from the Forest of Dean, and
from the Bristol end of the county, and the Grantley
Berkeley party mustered in strong numbers, coming in
carria:es of various kinds, and on horseback. Mr. Gren-
ville Berkeley's friends first entered the town in preces-
sion, his supporters wearing green and orange, the old
13,,rkeley colours in the county, and wearing as a dis-
tinctive mark the holly leaf. Mr. Grantley Berkeley
next arrived, accompanied by a procession which cer
tainly comprised a great number of persons. These also
wore green and orange colours and oak leaves. It was
very evident, let what may be the issue of the contest.
that the popular feeling is strongly for Gratatley, :for,
notwithstanding that Dursley is close upon the castle
demesne, there was scarcely a house in the route from
which 'he was not warmly cheered. Mr. R. B. Hale,
the Conservative candidate, was also brought to the
hustings by a handsome cavalcade, with band and ban-
ners.

The preliminaries having been gone through, the
High Sheriff,. T. B. L. Baker, Esq., inquired it any
elector had a candidate to propose.
Mr. Aaron Gould, of Bilson, near Newnham, nomi-
nated the Hon. Grantley Berkeley. Ile had in his hand
the result of the canvass ; and while Mr. Hale, the Tory,
would have a majority of 1,400 over Grantley Berkeley,
Grantley Berkeley would have a majority of between
1,700 and 1,800 votes over Mr. Grenville Berkeley, who,
it was evident, had the purse-string of some powerful
person to assist him. Where his funds csme from he
would leave them to guess.—(Hear.) Never had he
known, at any contested election, such a lavish expen-
diture. A cheque for 8,0001. had, it was known, been
paid down by somebody. Mr. Gould urged the electors
to withstand all unconstitutional interference, and con-
cluded by proposing Mr. Grantley Berkeley.
Mr. ltutwoon, of Woodhouse Oiveston, seconded the
nominations • • • •

Sir THOMAS CRA*LB-Y.410E4Y, Bart., then came for-
ward, amidst much cheering, to propose Mr. R. B. Hale.
Major BLATHWAITE seconded the nomination.
Mr. G. BENGotroft, of the Ridge, then proposed, and
Mr. Nicnotsox, of Coleford, seconded the nomination
of M. Grenville Berkeley, but it was impossible to
hear, amidst the uproar which prevailed, what either of
them said.

Mr. GRANTLEY BERKELEY first addressed the electors,
and was received with cheers by his friends, and with
hisses and groans from his opponents. He asked them

sions of his enemies.—(Cheers.) That was no longer
now what it once was—a family quarrel; and he would
therefore avoid as far as possible all allusion to family
affairs, and would take the question upon its broad and
constitutional principle.—(Cheers.) When a Member
of fourteen years' standing was called upon to retire from
his seat, the usual course was to call together the general
body of his constituents, and to send him a requisition
requiring him to withdraw from the repr.'sentation.—
(Hear, hear.) No such course had been pursued towards
him. The only hints he had received that it was de-
sirable he should • withdraw from the county had come
to him from private persons individually, or interested
for Lord Fitzhardinge.—(Cries of " No, no," and
cheers.) lie asked, was that the proper way in
whio!i to attempt to drive him out of the
county, by the individual threats of the friends and
agents of one great Lord.—(" No, no," cheers and con-
fusion.) lie was sure they would give him a hearing.
They were so fond of his colours that the(yhhaetlesst)Oatleleinnd
