ELECTIONS.

FALMOUTH, JAN. 24.

I .
Ycstcrday, at the nomination for a representative for this
borough, E. J. Hutchins, Esq., was proposed by the Re-
formers, and the Tories, being unable to procure another
candidate, as a forlorn hope, decided on proposing their
townsman, William Carne, Esq., a gentleman of high es-
t( em as regards his private character, who consented to be
nominated, with an understanding that he would not be at
at any expenso. The election commenced this morning,
and as the Tories had no aid from the Carlton Springs, it
was what may be termed a fair stand up fight, and one of
principle only. The result, as smatter of course, has ter-
, minuted in the return of Mr. Hutchins, by a majority of
222. The gross numbers being, for

(From the York Herald.)
We must state that Mr. Lamie Murray, the Liberal
candidate, came forward with a promptitude and alacrity
which dors him honour; he is supported by the Reform
Association, and his speech on Thursday fully evinces that
he deserves their support. He is a gentleman of great
talent, undoubted integrity, and of liberal and constitu-
tional views ; and should the electors of Beverley refuse
1 his services, we heartily trust that some other constituency
l will shortly secure them. His eloquence would render
I him a powerful supporter of the Min•stry, and his financial
and commercial knowledge would render him highly ser-
i ~ieeable to the country at large.
(From the Hull Journal.)
The election at Beverley has terminated, as we always
I expected it would, in the return of the Tory, though his
majority is larger than we calculated upon. This may be
accounted for by the fact that many votes proraised to Mr.
Murray were, when it was found that his chance was gone,
1 given to the winning side ; we believe that between thirty
', mind forty will be found so to have changed sides. The
t bribery on the Tory side was profuse, and the exhibition of
drunkenness was most degrading. The means thus made
luse of have greatly tended to the disfranchilement of the
, bo, ough ; men of all classes, but especially amongst the
/ rigni-thinking of the working population, are now impressed
i with the belief, that the only cure for the corruption and ex-
cess displayed on the and former occasions, is disfranchise-

rho independence of Beverley is virtually gone—free-
dom. as appliA to the electors, is a mockery—for they are
the bought men of their Members, and no one in future
will be found to fight for them against the oppression of
which they may have to complain. As to a comparison
between the qualifications of Mr. Murray and Mr. Fox,
such a thing would be absurd, The one has nothing to
recommend him but hig purse—the other is a man who
j would reflect honour and credit upon any representation in
tl'e empire. Mr. Murray has most enlarged views of
S,ate policy, is an excellent man of business, thoroughly
Liberal in his opinions, eloquent and industrious—qualifi-
cations th.se most to be prized by a large Lading c:nsti-
tuency. He has stood a contest at Beverley manfully and
i well ; that be has not succeeded is not his own fault, but
that of others.
