CITY OF DUBLIN NOMINATION.

MONDAY.—The nomination took place this day. So early
as nine o'clock the street before the Court-house was thronged
by an anxious crowd. Within the Court two side galleries
were densely crowded, it having been arranged that the friends
of O'Connell and Hutton should have tickets of admission for
one, whilst the other was appropriated for the friends of West
and Grogan, the Tory candidates. It soon appeared, how-
ever, that the Tories were admitted to both galleries, and that
only a few of the O'Connellites were permitted to enter that
set apart for them I This monstrous and dishonest trickery
was remarked upon by Mr. Reynolds, who remonstrated with
the Tories, but he was answered only by hootings and laugh-
ter. Mr. Pierse Mahony then addressed them from the bench,
and the Sheriffs also remonstrated, but in vain. During all
this time a scene of dreadful uproar prevailed in the court, in
the midst of which Mr. O'Connell appeared on the bench.
At ten o'clock Mr. Hutton (R), Mr. West (T), and Mr.
Grogan (T), appeared on the bench.
The writ having been read,
Mr. ARABIN, of Corkagh, rose to propose Mr. O'Connell.

Mr. REILLY, a tradesman, rose toiecond the nomination.

Mr. GEORGE ROE, merchant, rose to propose Robert Mut-
ton, Esq., one of their late Members.
Mr. RICHARD O'Goamax, merchant, seconded the nomi-
nation.

The Lord Mayor (Sir J. K. JAmEs) rose to propose John
Beatty West, Esq., Q. C.
ColonelJowNsoN seconded the nomination.
Mr. ROBERT S3IITH rose to propose Edward Grogan, Esq.
Sir GEORGE COCKBURN, the ex-revolutionist and Cob-
bettite, rose to second the nomination. _

Mr. O'CONNELL here presented himself, and was received
with enthusiastic cheers, which were continued for several
minutes. lam very sorry, said he, for one thing. lam ex-
ceedingly sorry for one thing, and that is that you did not hear
the old General's speeeh.—(Hear, and laughter.) I heard
him speak when he was not so old a soldier as he is now, and
when he was quite on the other side, and I really do not know
whether he was better upon our side than he is upon yours.—
( Hear, hear.) We had him a great while with us, and while
there was any good in him, and now I make a present of him,
with ail my heart, to the opposite party.—( Hear, and cries of
" Oh, oh.") So much for the poor old General.--(Laughter,
and cries from the Tories," That is personal.") That is not
personal. (An Orangeman in the gallery, " No, not from
you.") No, Sir, nor from you either.—( Laughter. ) You
have got him—keep him. Surely you are not angry with me
because I am making a present of him to you.—(Laughter,)
I now come to another subject— _ _ _

General COCKBURN—There i 3 only one point I would cor-
rect—

Mr. O'CosNELL—Oh ! do not correct me at al, but sit
down there, Gencral.—( Hear, hear, and laughter.) I am,
gentlemen, I say, sorry for this contest. lam sincerely sorry
for this contest.—( Hear, from the Tories.) You may, per-
haps, suppose that I am sorry for it because I anticipate
defeat.—(Cheers from the Tories.) Well, now, have I not
put you into good humour ?—( Hear.) Now is it not so ?
But it is on this account that I regret it. lam sincerely
sorry to be obliged, and I do it very reluctantly, to protest
against the injustice of the she-iff of the city of Dublin.—
( Hear, hear.) In the first place he has not consulted, as
he ought to have done, the two parties as to the appoint-
ment of an assessor. I object too to the the distribution of
booths. I say that there has been no justice done to us in any
one thing.—( Hear.) One would think that the Tories
were already in power, and that injustice was the rule,
and partiality the order of the day.—( Loud cheers.)
I now come to what is my second reason for being sorry for
this contest. The old corporation is on its last legs.—(Hear,
I and laughter.) It is not dead yet—it has only got an apo-
plectic stroke—(Laughter)—but it will end in the month of
October next. Why, said Mr. O'Connell pointing to the
chain which Sir .T. Kingston James wore as Lord Mayor, that
is a very beautiful chain—(Laughter)—and, if they will only
leave it to us, I have a notion of sporting that chain myself.
A err from an Orangeman : " Don't you wish you may

are now supporting the Government against Toryism , We
do you think I will on that account go into Parliament to b:
my indiscriminate support to the Whigs, and to permit themve
to hold on in their career without doing full and sufficient i them
flee to Ireland? No. I will drive the Ministry. The terror
of Tory domination has put me in their ranks hitherto; I am
something like Paddy's hat, when the pane was broken, and he
had not another to replace it, he put his hat intd the window
not to let in the light, but to keep out the cold.—( Laughter.)
I am before those who have been my constituents hitherto,
and who, I hope, will be so again.---( Loud cheers.) And I
declare to them solemnly and unequivocally, that if the people
respond to the Queen's Alinister4, the Queen's Ministers must
respond to all the calls of the people.—( Loud cheers.) But I
wish to be understood, that whether they respond to it or not,
yet I am still for repeal. I shall never mitigate or give up my
efforts for repeal.—( Cheers.) I ask your votes as a Repealer;
but, at the same time, I wish it to be understood that. I refuse
no man's vote that is not a Repealer. —( Cries of " Hear, hear.")
I do not want any man in Dublin to vote for me without know-
ing that I am a decided enemy to the Corn-laws. I want that
the poor weavers' wives should not be obliged to share the slice
of bread, already too small for their children, with the aristo-
cratic landlord.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) I am for cheap
bread, and I am also for cheap sugar, for cheap coffee. I wish
to have everything as cheap as we can get it.—( Hear, and loud
cheers.) I am one of those who are anxious for the abolition
of slavery, and I can tell you that free-grown sugar 'can he
produced much cheaper than from any. slave states. If the
plan which I had proposed for the admission of sugar from the
free labour continues, you would have sugar one-third cheaper
than it is at present. Let no man vote for me who is for dear
bread let no man vote for me who is for dear
sugar let no man vote for me who is for eear coffee ;
but let every conseientWus mail who wisixel to seed the

hungry, to give means for 'clothing the staled, for giving ar-
ticles to all at the cheapest rate, give me his support.—(Hear, •
hear, and cheers.). And again, I am for cheap timber.—
( Hear, hear.) Many a respectable man is obliged to..pay a
heavy duty for Baltic timber, in order to support a wino-
poly in favour of the Canadas.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) The
Ministry are for taking the duty off Baltic timber— the
Torie 4, of course, are against it; but I may speak for myself
at least, and I hereby engage myself to vote for taking the -duty
off Baltic timber and all other timber whatsoever.—( Cheers.)
I detest taxation, and I will ever make it my practice to strike
off as litany taxes as I possibly can. The question now is one
between, our Queen on the one band, and her enemies the
Tories on the other. The Tories are for dear bread, dear see-
gar, and dear coffee. " Oh," say they, the knaves ! "do
not injure any man's interest." " Nay," say 1, " dare not
injure the people of Ireland."—(Cheers.) There is my an-
swer to the monopolists. West and Grogan talk of all they
will do for you—will they extend the franchise ? No—they
- won't. Will they support household suffrage ? No, they won't.
I will do it.—(Cheers.) Will they extend the right of suffrage
to permanent lodgers ? Ah, no, believe me, no ; for well I ween
they know how little chance they wouldhave against me if such a
measure were passed. I am, and ever have been, the ad-
vocate of giving the privilege of voting to every man of instil--
lied character who may have attained the age of twenty-one •
years, provided that he have a fixed local habitation. Every
true Reformer throughout the wide expanse of all England •is
for the Ballot. lam for short Parliaments—three years was
the time fixed at the time of the Revolution, and 1 consider
that it is quite sufficient.—( Cheers.) I am with those, who
are for the extension of liberty all ever the globe—for the-ex-
tension of the franchise—for the protection of tenants from
the persecution of their landlords, and the conferring of the
right of voting on all honest men.—( Cheers.) Yes, 'I pro-
claim it from this spot, in order that all Reformers worthy the
name may now rally with me against the combined attack of
the physical force Chartists on the one hand, and the slavish
anti bribing Tories on the other.—(llear, hear, and cheers. )
Yes, this is, indeed, a noble and a glorious struggle in
which we are engaged. We have not had the Whigs suffi-
ciently with us heretoftare, but they will now be with us
joining issue with the people, and made strong by the irresisti-
ble co-operation of the masses.—(Cheers.) 'f he time for the
battle has now indeed arrived—great and glorious objects are
at stake—this is, as the Frenchman said, " only the beginning
of the end." I rejoice in having a heart to be on the side of
the people in such a struggle. We live under a virtuous Queen
—the only Monarch of the House of Brunswick that was a
friend to the people of Ireland.—(Loud cheers.) lam her de-
voted subject, and I will do my duty to her by putting down
factions— making Ireland the securest foundation of the British
throne.—(Cheers.) It may be said that I am forgetting Irish
manufacture. —(" Hear, hear," and cheers.) Mr. West had
said he was as good a supporter of Irish manufacttire as I. If
he was, we never heird of it. For my own part I never wear
anything but Irish manufacture.—( Hear. )
A v.iice in the gallery—ls your handkerchief Irish manu-
facture ?

' Mr. 0' CON NELL—Yes, and my coat, and the man that is in it
teo.—( Laughter and cheers.) Succeed or fail, the struggle will
be my reward. lam not looking for office. My Friend (Mr.
Reilly) said I refused the office of Lord Chief Baron- one hun-
klred times; that was ninety-nine times too many. —(Laughter. )
I only refused it once, and am the only man who would do so.
Well, now my friends, lam going to take my leave of you. I
'commenced as a Repealer, and I end a Repealer.—( Tremen-
Onus cheering.) I have devoted my life to the great struggle
for Ireland's liberty. She was a nation before I was born, and
I trust I shall not go down to my grave till I see her a nation
again.—(lmmense and most rapturous applause, which lasted
for several minutes. )
Mr. Humes next presented himself, and was received with
loud cheers. He had only to turn to his votes to prove that he
had fulfilled every pledge.—( Cheers, and a Tory cry of
" What will you do with the repeal ?") He should not shrink
fiom any question. He was looking to the attempts in Par-
liament to disfranchise the Irish people ; he was not (looking
to Lord Stanley's Bill) surprised that there should be a cry
for repeal.—(Lond cheers.) The Irish people had been
goaded into that cry by injustice; but he (Mr. Hutton)
thought justice could be obtained without repeal, and there-
fore he was not a Repealer.—( Loud cheers.) They had heard
of the injury to be apprehended from an alteration of the
Corn-laws. He was of opinion that great service, not injury,
would be the result of a fixed duty—the lower the better.—
(Cheers. )
Mr. WEST text addressed the electors. He began by re-
turning thanks to Mr. O'Connell for the spirit in which he
had commenced the contest. Mr. Hutton had said he did not
Wish to be taught by his enemies. He (Mr. West) was sorry
he had used that word, inasmuch as he would much rather be
ranked amongst his friends than his enemies. He (Mr. West)
had been called an Orangeman, Orange West, and exterminat-
ing Grogan. He had never been an Orangeman in his life.
He had never been in an Orange Lodge; "but the most re-
spectable and the highest men had told hies, and had sworn
before a Parliamentary Committee, that there was nothing in
the principles of the Orange system, but complete and de-
voted loyalty to the Throne, and perfect toleration to all sects.
If such were Orange principles he was an Orangeman, but if
Orangeism meant extermination or exclusion, he utterly de-
tested and repudiated it.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. West next pro-
ceeded to advert to the sugar and timber duties, on which he
spoke at much length.
Mr. GROGAN next addressed the electors.

A show of hands having been called for, the SHERIFF de-
clared that it was in favour of Messrs. O'Connell and Hutton.

A poll was then demanded on behalf of the other candidates,
and the Court adjourned until urine o'clock to morrow morning.
The people then separated in the most perfect good order.

SOUTH DURHAM.—Tuesday, the 6th instant, being the
day of nomination of candidates to represent this division of
the county in Parliament, Darlington, at an early hour, pre-
sented a gay and animated appearance. Mr. Bowes first en-
tered the town with a large escort of yeomanry and electors
about ten o'clock, and was soon afterwards followed by Lord
Harry Vane and Mr. Farrer. the Tory candidate. Soon
after eleven o'clock the Undersheriff, Mr. Woolled, took his
place on the hustings, when the usual precept, oaths and pro-
clamations were read and taken by the officials. The Under-
sheriff then called upon any gentleman who had any candidate
to propose to represent them in Parliament.
H. T. Al. WrrHAAt, Esq., of Lackington, proposed, and
JOSEPH PEASE, Esq., one of the late Members, seconded John.
Bowes, Esq.
JOHN ALLAN, Esq., of Blackwell, then proposed, and
GEORGE SILVERTOP, Esq., seconded Lord Harry Vane.
And M. FOWLER, Esq., of Preston, proposed, and D.
MA C LEAN, Esq., of Witton Castle, seconded Mr. Farrer, the
Tory candidate, and on a show of hands it was declared to be
in favour of Mr. Bowes and Lord Harry Vane, when Mr. Far-
rer demanded a poll. The polling days are fixed for Friday
and Saturday next, when we hope Mr. Farrer will meet with
a similar defeat.

CAITHNESS-,SHIRE.-Sir George Sinclair having fairly
abandonbd the field, Mr. Trail, the Liberal candidate, will on
Thursday be elected without opposition.
KILMARNOCK BURGHS.

CLOSE OF THE POLL.—We have the pleasure of stating that
Mr. Johnstone has carried his election by a majority of 1l
votes over his opponent, Mr. Co'quhoun. Total votes on the
gross poll for Mr. Johnstone, 490 ; for Mr. Colquhoun, 479.
Glasgow Chronicle of Monday (2d edition). We learn from
the same source that the return for the Falkirk burghs was car-
ried by gross bribery on the part of the Tories, and will be peti-
tioned against.

LINCOLNSHIRE NORTH—PARTS of LINDSEY.

LINCOLN CASTLE, MONDAY.—On Monday, at an
early hour, all was bustle andfinimation; in every part of
the city were to be seen the light blue colour's of Lord
Worsley; indeed, so extensively were they worn, that it
looked much more like a city than a county demonstra-
tion; 'there was a large show of purple and orange for
Mr. Christopher, and a smaller sprinkling of pink for the
lion. Mr. Cust. At a quarter to eleven the Castle gates
were thrown open, and immediately several thousand
persons thronged the yard.
Lord Worsley and his friends took the south, and the
Conservatives the north side of the hustings.
GODFILEY TALLxNTS, Esq., Tinder Sheriff, having read
the writ of election and the Bribery Act,

Sir JOHN CHARLES TITOROLD, Bart., High Sheriff, took
the oaths prescribed, which were administered by the
Rev. Sir Charles Anderson, Bart.

The HIGH SHERIFF briefly stated the object of the
meeting, and requested an equally candid hearing for all.
G. F. HENEAGE, Esq., of Hainton-hall, had to pro-
pose as a candidate, not one who was untried, but
who had in four successive Parliaments faithfully dis-
charged his duty as their representative. As they had
on all former occasions, so he hoped they would again
return him at the head of the poll, as they had done his
father and grandfather before him.—(Mr.Chaplin, "That
ia'a Mistake ") He would be as concise as he could con-
sistently with his duty on the present occasion. He
would ask, who was there that had occasion to apply to
his Lordship on parliamentary business that did not re-
ceive the kindest attention ?—(Hear, hear.) During
eleven years had they ever found Lord 'Worsley to be
absent from his post ?—(No, no.) The Noble Lord. Mr.
Christopher, and Mr. Chaplin had all sat for boroughs
before being elected for the county, and Mr. Corbett had
qualified by long service as an active magistrate and an
extensive farmer. But what experience had Mr. Cust ?
What single qualification had lie ? He should like to know
how it was that he was brought there, and who sent for
him ? He called upon them to return Lord Worsley at
the head of the poll, and he finished by proposing the
Right Hon. Charles Anderson Worsley Pelham, com-
monly called'Lord Worsley, as a fit person to represent
them a fourth time in Parliament.

J. AITGERSTEIN, Esq., seconded the nomination of the
Noble Lord, having, when representative for a metro-
politan borough, witnessed the zealous discharge of his
duties, in which he was exceeded by none. After si few
words in commendation of the Government, which called
forth some Tory yells, which were speedily drowned in
Liberal cheers, Mr. Angerstein objected to their new
candidate, that, being a soldier, he might be sent out to
Canada next week ; he cordially seconded the ne,mina-
tion of the Noble Lord.

Sir Jorni NELTHORP, Bart., had comparatively an
easy task, in proposing;for re-election a gentleman who
was Well known to them, who had uniformly. done his
duty as a representative, and had opposed all the mea-
sures of a Government that would infringe upon the
rights of agriculture. He was once more a candidate,
and they could not hesitate to renew their confidence in
him ; he begged to nominate Robert Adam Christopher,
Esq.—(Cheers and yells.)
ALGERNON MASSINBERD, Esq., considered it a high
honour to propose • such a Member, to such a con-
stituency ; and seconded the nomination made by Sir
John Nelthorp.
CHARLES CHAPLIN, Esq., would begin by explaining
why he had exerted himself so much in opposition to the
return of his friend Lord .Worsley ; and that was in
consequence of the unfortunate vote the Noble Lord
had given in favour of that reckless Administration
which had declared they dissolved Parliament in order
to carry a measure that would ruin the farmers not only
of Lincolnshire, but of all England.—(A Voice—" Then
lower your rents.") He saw before him the whole to-.
nantry of the Noble Lord's father ; he would ask them,
with a fixed duty of Bs., whether their farms would be
worth keeping ? It was true that the Noble Lord had
voted against the alteration of the Corn-laws, and would
do so again, but what was his individual vote ? He had
supported the Ministry, and he would be swamped by
the majority in the large manufacturing towns, and then
he might whistle for his property. It was on these
grounds that they opposed the Ministry, and not Lord
Worsley personally. As he could not himself stand
forward, he had endeavoured to procure the best man
he could, and he would leave the result with the free-
holders and electors. It had been foolishly asserted-,
that his Honourable Friend had not an acre of
land in the division • it would be much better
if people .confined themselves to facts ; and be-
fore -- the Chairman of the Noble Lord's Central
Committee at Rasen had allowed such a statement
to be pUblished, he might have looked to the re-
