DANIEL 11. WARRINGTON', Esq., came forward to
Henry Kemble, Esq., as a fit and proper person toeep
the Eastern Division of the County of Surrey in ensutht
Parliament.—(Cheers and uproar ) He congratulated
electors of East Surrey on being of the same opinion with the
county at large, as had been shown by there being no OPp(T.
tion to the return of the two gentlemen who had so lately ea
presented them. Mr. Keinble had been for many yeairs
os
representative, and had always by his conduct given th,lututo_
satisfaction. He had great pleasure, therefore. i

that gentleman.—(Cheers and uproar.)
Sir C. PRICE hail great pleasure in seconding the ni
tion, because Mr. Kemble had been a friend of his of tin_ 5
years' standing, and he had always found him through ;ire
man of honour, industry, and of the strictest integrrq:
(Cheers.) He was glad to find that his past conduct in
liament had had been such as to lead to his re-election without Op"
position.—(Cheers.)

He had formerly proposed that gentleman as a fit and preon.3,
person to represent them in Parliament, and he was happY

been satisfied with his conduct. He now again propose

and the knowledge they all had of that gentleman 3 abilities
and conduct, rendered any eulogium from him (Mr. R.) tr.
necessary. The Hon. Gentleman then cotomenced a ve"_:i•
moot attack upon the Ministry and their meaeures in the um'
strain, and concluded by saying that although the Ministen
had appealed to the country that appeal had not been responde:
to, and the public had clearly shown that they were of opiate
that the Ministers had brought forward the recent measure;
only to serve the inost contemptible party purposes.—(Cllo
and uproar.) He vas glad there was no opposition on
present occasion, because he looped that the absence of oPP°SI-
tion would lead to the social harmony of the county.
PAYNTER, Esq., seconded the nomination, and felhet re;
joked at the result of the election, because it would strengt

upon him to expisin to them what were his sentiments nett
