NOTTINGHAM ELECTION.

The canvass of the eanfliTiates for the represent ,lion of
the town of Nottingham in I arliament, is proceeding.
great rapidity, both parties meeting with great supp.)rt,
but Mr. Larpent realizing decieedly the most numerous
promises. He is a man well fitted to canvass a large con-
stituency, being of most obliging address and manners, and
has been every where received with kind ccngratulatians
and cordirl greetings. After the meeting on Thursday
evening, which was noticed in The Sun of Sa•urday, the
work commenced in earnest. Oa Friday morning Mr.
Walter arrived, and a bill was immediately stating
that he would address the electors that evening at six o'clock.
At that .hour, a very large number of the Conservative
party assembled in the Conservative Hall, Low Pavement.

. _
FRANCIS HARDWICKE. Esq., was called to the Chair.
He introduced Mr. Walter to the meeting (which, al-
though very 1 ge, consisted print ipally of Chartists without
Yates.) Tile gallery. where. Mr. Walter was stationed
p eicnteil the strange anomaly of Chartists, Radical., and
'forks, all mingled together, and determined to aid in the
return of Mr. Walter, solely through a fat Vous spiet of op-
position to the present Goyernrneat, ald a self-styled "11.1-
trcd to the new Poor-law."

Mr. WALTER addressed the meeting at great length,
declaring his uncompromising enmity and hatred to
the New Poor-law, and the Rural Police. In his opinion
it was those two measures alone that produced Chartism,
and military law would come next—(Cheers)—for what-
ever might be done, the people of this country could not,
and would no., be driven from their once respectable
station, down, and down, and down into slaves again.--
( Corp ioued cheers.) He had found no charce of doing
may good when he was in the House, for all parties were so
hot in f :vane of the measure ; he therefore retired to hus-
band his forces for a fitter time. Toot time had at last
come, and there he was at the". invitation, because he
felt that if he was returned to Parliament he should be
able to act with rff ct as their r, presentative.--( Loud
cheers.) What acted much in his Lvour, also, was his
declaring himself not only"an Anti-Corn-law Repealer by
expressions, but that he had already voted for the abolition
of those laws. He also declared himself a stern opponent
of all inclosures of land, which, he said, ruined the poor to
increase the wealth of the rich. He had, while in Par-
liament, been the main instrument of turning out many
cf there Bilz. He dwelt mostly upon the New Poor-
law Bill, which he described as base and bad as the
hearts of those who conee'ved it. S, veral of the
most noted Chartists and Radicals', who have al-
ways been the hottest in their opposition to the
Tories, then spoke in favour of Mr. Walter, exhorting all
their frieeds to vote fcr him ae the friend of the poorer
classes in being the opponent cf the Poor-law. Their main
reason for doing so was that they might get the Govern-
ment out, and then at a gearrsl election return one of their
own Chartist body. This is an utter impossibility, and
therefore, for a mere visionary scheme, they would reject
a Radical, who would do them much good, for a Tory who
wilt cut their throats the moment he gets in. In 'the end
the meeting agreed to support Mr. Walter, and he com-
menced his canvass on Saturday morning, and has con-
tinued it up to the present time.

A letter h'a been published from Mr. Pitkeithley, a rank
Chartist, exhorting the people to support Mr. Walter, and
also from Messrs. Oastler and Fielden, exhorting them to
vote against the uew Poor-law, and let that measure, not
politics, decide their votes. Yesterday evening (Monday)
Mr. Pitkeitbly addressed a great number of persons—all
non-;lectors--on the importance of their endeavouring to
obtain the suffrage, anti that they should do their utmost
by supporting Mr. Walter, in the working department, to
get him returned. Hosts of squibs, songs, extracts from
the weathercock Times, &e., are continually pouring from
the press. Money will flow iu thousands, but in spite of
all coercion, bribery, and base coa'ition, there is no doubt
of Mr. Larpent bciag returned.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,
TA TTERSALL'S.—( YESTERDAY.)
The room was crowded to excess, and business tolerably
brisk on the Derby. Coronation was a shade lower than
on Friday at Newmarket, an alteration attributable not to
any want of confidence in his party, but to the anxiety
shown to back Van Amburgb, and the improvement
of Rosalie and Prince Carodoc; these horses, The
Knight of the Whistle and Eringo, were in great force
at the averages quoted below. The Metternich party was
not by any means anxious to get on under 20 to 1, and fur
this race as well as for that to be decided next week,
Eringo, to use a sporting phrase, was " well up" with
him. Palmmon, Ralph, Mosque, Belgrade, and Arundel,
were backed at a fall on last week's prices, and 50 to 1
each was laid against Lord Exeter's (to win about
20:0001.) and Sir G. Heathcote's lots. Young Quo
Minus sprung from 1000 to 15 to 45 to 1, and was in fre-
quent demand. •
THE OAKS.—Mr. Batson's filly was backed in hundreds
at 8 to 1, and only a point more offered against E-mcn-
gardie, 10 to 1 would have been taken. Lampoon and
Ghuznee were mentioned, but no price named. The
betting on the 2,000 guineas stakes was flat, and the only
alteration was in Eringo, who was backed at 3 to I shortly
before the room closed.—Latest prices :
