The Mayor, Mr. T. H. Bulteel, opened the proceed-
ings at ten o'clock yesterday at the Guildhall, and shortly
after adjourned to the hustings in front of the Royal
Hotel. Two of the principal merchants, Mr. Col-
lier and Mr. Fox, proposed and seconded Lord
by
Ebrington ; Mr. Colmady was proposed Mr.
G. W. Soften, '
and seconded in an eloquent speech
by Mr. Alfred Rooker • and Mr. Roundel Palmer
was proposed by Dr. James Yonge, and seconded
by Mr. W. IL Hawker. It was understood that no
coalition should take place ; but after Mr. Soltan and
Mr. Rooker had done their duty by Mr. Colmady, they
strongly supported the claims of the Noble Lord. A
show of hands being asked for, the Mayor decided that
it was in favour of Mr. Palmer, upon which a poll was
.demanded for Lord Ebrington, which takes place this

in inflating this blind mob, and taking no steps for pro-

whole frames of our windows are carried in, and
we are obliged to seek refuge as best we can,

ST. AT,ll;kN'5.

The nomiration for the borougn of St. Alban's took
piece yesterday. Tho Conservative candidate, 11Ir.
Repton, was proposed by Ur. T. k'. Gape, and seconded
by gr. J, S. Storey.

There were three new candidates, Messrs. Craven,
Wilks, and Raphael, all of whom were proposed in due
form, and they severally addressed the electors.
The show of hands was in favour of Messrs. Raphael
and Wilks, and a poll was demanded in the usual man-
ner by the other candidates.
It is said that some very extraordinary proceedings
have taken place in connexion with this election, and it
appears quite clear that this "immaculate" borough
will not lose any share of its former reputation on this
occasion. The general impression is, that Mr. Craven,
the Government candidate, has not the slightest chance.,
and that the struggle will be between Mr. Raphael and
Mr. Repton.
