lig their suffrages, and although his own private feelings
would induce him to pass his life in domestic retirement,
he felt that at a-time like the present he ought to sacrifice
his inclinations to his public duty. The course pursued
by the Ministry clearly showed that they felt contempt
for. the landowners, of the Constitution, and of the Pro-
testant f.,‘,
"iLii2 and it was the duty of every man
powhsoe lsolvitehd his country to come forward and op-
thena Ministry. The Honourable Candidate
Proceeded to state his reasons in opposition to
the Alinisterial project, and said he hoped soon to see
allerGr°alielrament founded on the great principles of Con-
and wele policy which would pursue a course of sound
l considered reform, and which would strengthen
instead of
tampering with the civil and religious institu-
tions of the country.—(Cheers.)
thMr. RYDER then came forward and was received with
altei, utmost enthusiarn by his friends. Ile said that
donelgult as chairman of a Conservative Association he had
p.hresbeia: in his power to support Conservative principles,
e B—°llld not have thought of coming forward in his
Position if he had not received a requisition,
knowi by 2,137 electors, calling upon him to do so; and
that, ng that this number was within a very few of
r which ten years ago the first Whig candidate was
urned, he did not think he could be considered as
evar,,esitYoptuous in coming forward as the third Conservative
h,suut.d to on the present occasion. He had no party views,
kp:_iiatlnehaiororpeidni:party, and he would support no party that
"e_aid not think were actuated.by sound and honourable
beyon Church and State. Those. were, he
or,,,rea, the principles of Conservatism as diametrically
qused to the opinions entertained by her Majesty's
esent advisers. They had been living on negatives for
tiPat mangy' Years. What had they done for the comi-

ency supported him he would cie ir. harness. HG: would not
enter the doors of the House of Commons otherwise than as
the unrestricted representative of that county:—(Loud cheer-
ing.) He had served it faithfully and conscientiously during
the whole of his Parliamentary life, for nearly half a cen-
tury—(Loud cheers)—and however the infirmities of age
might have rendered him incapable of performing the ac-
tive duties of his situation, he would still pursue the same
line of conduct he had ever acted upon ; but if it should be
his fate to be called upon to retire into the ranks of country
gentlemen, it would be his consolation, to the latest period
of his existence, that he had served his country faithfully
and well.—( Loud cheers.) His political opinions were well
known, because they had never been concealed. A great
and important struggle was in progress, and, that his views
might not be mistaken, he would shortly state what they were.
He wished for the total repeal of the odious and oppressive
Corn-laws.—(Loud cheers.) He was for vote by ballot—
( Cheers)—for short parliaments, and an extension of the suf-
frage.—( Great applause.) These were the principles which he
would stand to, and, as one of the representatives of the county
of Somerset, no consideration should ever induce him to swerve
from what he deemed the right course. The Hon. Gentleman
sat down amidst loud and long continued cheering.
The followinr, toasts were afterwards received with due he-
nours :--•' The Lord Lieutenant and Magistrates for the
County and City ;" " the Liberal Electors of Bath ;" " Mr. S.
Barrow, Honorary Secretary;" the " Chairmen of the District
Committees ;" " the Liberal Ladies of Bath," &c., and at a
late hour the company separated, highly delighted with the
evening's entertainment.

KENT (EAST).
CANTERBURY.—Barham Downs was the phcc where the
nomination of the candidates was appointed to take place.
There were not above half a dozen persons present wearing the
blue colours, and the only gentleman of Liberal politics on
the hustings was Sir John Tylden. Soon after eleven o'clock
the High Sheriff, Delawar Banks, Esq., arrived.
Sir EDWARD DEERING proposed Sir Edward Knatchbull.
Sir BROOK BRYDGES, Bart., nominated Mr. Plumptre.
Both being nominated, the SHERIFF asked if any elector
had any other candidate to propose, and no answer being re-
turned, he declared that Sir E. Knatchbull and Mr. Plumptre

were duly elected.
Sir E. KNATCHeum. then stood forward, and was loudly
cheered. His friends had told them that he would give an
account of his stewardship, and he would do so as short as
the could. He would confine himself to the last ten or
twelve years, because it was during that period that gr e
changes had been effected, and that they had been living
under new laws, and a totally different system of things
had existed.—(Hear, hear.) He dated that change from
1829, when the Catholic Emancipation Bill was passed.
In arraying himself among those' who opposed that measure—
(Cheers)—he had separated himself from a number of friends,
but he felt that in the performance of a public duty no consi-
deration should induce him to swerve from that course which,
in his heart and his conscience he believed to be the right one.
—(Applause.) After the passing of the Emancipation Bill
they had the Reform Bill, and he need not tell them the
course he then pursued. He had since been co-operating with
a party which, at first, did not number above 100, but by a
steady avowal of those principles which they considered would
confer prosperity and and happiness on the country, they in-
creased in strength, and in 1834, upon the death of Earl
Spencer, they were intrusted with the government of the
country under Sir Robert Peel. He was then charged
with inconsistency in taking office under that Ad.
ministration, but he disregarded those attacks, because
he was convinced that, upon all public questions,
the opinions of Sir Robert Peel and his party were sound and
constitutional, and calculated to confer great benefit upon the
country. With this conviction and belief, if he was to be ac-
cused of inconsistency, the same charge would attach itself to
almost every public man who acted for what he really believed
to be the good of the country.—( Hear, hear.) They would
well recollect the appropriation clause of 1834. The Conser-
vative party, as a party, were infinitely the strongest; but
they had opposed to them the Whigs, the Radicals, and the
Independents, as they were termed ; but even all these
found it extremely difficult to fix upon any question that
could bind them together. A t last, however, they fixed
On the appropriation clause ; and one of his opponents had
admitted to him (Sir Edward) that it would be a long time
before he had anything more to do with an appropriation
clause.—( A laugh and applause.) An election took place,
and from that time the Conservatives had been out of office.

It had since been the desire of Sir Robert Peel to unite a
body of gentlemen together who were agreed upon principles
that would conduce to the welfare of the country, and

strengthen the institutions of this land. The Conservatives
had since continued to acquire strength, and had reduced the
majority of the Government supporters, and repeatedly during
the last session outnumbered them on divisions, and at length
it was seen that no principle or union guided their actions, and
upon the opposition obtaining a majority of 36 over them, it
was thought they would retire.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.)
They did not do so, and it was then found necessary to
move a vote of want of confidence against them, and, al-
though the numbers were nearly balanced, the majority of
one which the Conservatives obtained rendered it necessary
for Lord John Russell to dissolve the Parliament and appeal
to the people, or resign. He took the former course, and
promised that the House should meet immediately after the
elections for business. He had kept one promise—he hoped
his Lordship would keep the other.—( Cheers.) The Right
Hon. Gentleman then deprecated the Budget of the Whig
Chancellor of the Exchequer, and proceeded to say that if the
application of free-trade principles to agriculture was advan-
tageous to the country, it would be equally good when ap-
plied to manufactures of all descriptions.—( Hear, hear.) If
they were to go to Poland or to Russia, or any other place
for their corn, why should he not be allowed to buy his hat,
his coat, or his gloves where he liked ?—( Hear, hear.) With
regard to the sugar question, the Government had been closely
pressed upon it, and it appeared that the whole benefit that the
public were to receive was about 21d. per head per annum.
Mr. PLUMPTRE next returned thanks, and, in doing so,
said that he had been taunted with having put forth in his first
address that he was an unflinching Reformer.—( Hear, hear. )
He had had a fair stand up fight with his opponents in 1837 on
this subject, and he could not help regarding the renewal of
the cry as stirring up an old quarrel, in which he had before
been the victor, as was proved by the majority of between
800 and 900 electors who then voted for him.—(Cheers.) He
never denied having used the words, and that they admitted
of a double interpretation—a man who would lend his aid to
endanger the stability of the Crown, or he would -reform
all proved grievances and abuses.—( Cheers.) He confessed
he belonged to the latter class of Reformers, and it was
extremely singular that his opponents always omitted to
tell them what followed the words in his address. He

declared that they must not let it come near Canada, as it
would, like a fire-ship, set the people of that country in

Sir Jonsr TyLnxii afterwards addressed the electors in
favour of the Ministerial proposals, and after a vote of thanks
had been passed to the High Sheriff, and duly acknowledged
by that functionary, the electors dispersed.
EAST GLOUCESTER (MONDAY).—Up to the latest moment
it was fully expected, upon good authority, that this important
division would not have been lost to the people's cause. The
treatment which Sir John Guise, the gentleman who came
forward on the Liberal interest, has received at the hands of
many of those who have been ever considered as the staunchest
supporters of the cause of RefOrm, appears to afford one of the
most glarinc, instances of the culpable negligence of our party.
The entire blame was attributable to tLe Liberals themselves,
and they may have cause to smart for it.
No other candidate appearing, Messrs. ' Codrington and
Charters were declared duly elected.
The election took place yesterday.
Sou Tit DERBY.—The cause goes bravely on. Enthusiasm
has sprung up from one extremity of the division to the other.
Districts have poured forth their thousands to greet the men
of the people's choice. The rallying cry goes forth famously,
4. Waterpark and Gisborne for ever ; down with monopoly and
dear food."—Derby Chronicle.
SOUTH DURHAM.—It is well known that the Tory landlords
are many of them in the habit of sending their tenants to the
poll like cattle-droves to a market, to vete for whomsoever their
lord and master wills. Mr. Farrer's Committee addressed
a very insidious letter to the Bishop of Durham,
asking whether his tenants and dependants had any
freedom of choice. His Lordship thus wrote back :
"Auckland Castle, June 28, 1841. Sir,—ln reply to the
letter which you have sent me, as Chairman of Mr. Farrer's
Committee, I beg leave to inform you that I never have con-
sidered myself at liberty to constrain any tenant or dependant
to vote in a way opposed to his unbiassed opinion. But you are
well aware that, in many instances, such persons have had but
little opportunity of forming a correct judgment of what is
passing in Parliament; and that various arts are resorted
to in order to conceal from them the true character of rub-

lic men, and the real spirit of public measures. ender
these circumstances, it continually happens that they are
disposed to lean upon tha opinions of those with whom they
are connected, and who may be far more familiar with the
arguments upon which public measures are defended or
opposed. If any of my friends or tenants desire to
learn my sentiments or eccsult my wishes, I am
anxious they should know that, having studied the character
and witnessed the measures of her Majesty's present Govern-
ment, I am decidedly of opinion that they have at once the
ability and the will to promote the public good. My warmest
wishes, therefore, are for the success of all such candidates as
profess themselves friendly to this Government. And in the
contest which unhappily has arisen in this neighbourhood, any
support which I can give with propriety mast be at the service
of Mr. Bowes and Lord Harry Vane. If, after this frank
avowal of my own sentiments, any application should be made
to any of my tenants, I may express a hope that the whole of
what I have stated, and not a part only, may be communicated
to them.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,

" E. DUNELM."
FALMOUTH.—Hee the Tories were never so fiemed before.
They have met with their death-blow in this election. Vivian
and Plumridge are Reformers of a firm stamp, and likely to do
some credit to the constituency.
FLINTSIIIRE.—The Flintshire Tories gave Sir Stephen
Glynne a grand feed on Friday week, but the feudal thraldom
of the Tory landlords cannot fasten upon the electoral rights
of the tenantry. Mr. Mortyn's canvass is vastly encouraging.
LEwEs.—ln the Sussex Advertiser of yesterday we find the
following account of the violent conduct of the partisans of the
Noble Lord and the Honourable Gentleman the late Tory can-
didates for Lewes. It is, we fear, but a sample of what
has been the conduct of the party generally throughout
England :—" It is a fact that an old man between 70
and 80 years of age, a tradesman of Lewes, who, being
insane, has for some weeks been in Bethlem Hospital,
was removed thence just before the election, and on Tues-
day brought to Lewes, by the Tories, for the purpose of
being taken up to poll for Fitzroy and Cantilupe, and
would have been taken to the poll, too, but for the de-
termined resistance of some of his relatives. As it was,
the house was, for half an hour, a scene of complete tu-
mult, and the excitement to which . the poor creature
himself was subjected had such an effect upon him that
his life has since been despaired of. These are the
facts—undeniable facts—and we' should be insulting every man
who has the common feelings of his kind, by attempting one
syllable of comment." And among the advertisements this ap-
pears :—" To Brewers.—Wanted a situation as brewer, by a
