THE ELECTIONS.

FINSBURY --(T HIS DAY.)
The nomination for the borough of Finsbury took place this
morning at twelve o'clock, on Chrkenwell-green. The hust-
ings were erected on the steps of the Sessiens-house, and from
the great deficiency of space were exceedingly inconvenient.
Every accommot a'ion, however, was afforded us that the
limited space would admit of. Shortly after twelve o'clock a
procession. with banners bearing Mr. -Duncombe's name, and
accompanied by music, arrived on the green, and was loudly
cheered by the crowd ; and at a quarter after twelve Messrs.
Duncombe and Wakley arrived on the hustings, and the pro-
ceedings commenced.

The Returning Officer having real the precept and Bribery
Act, and gone through the usual formalities,
Mr. NICHOLSON stepped forward and said that we had ar-
rived at a most important crisis. Ministers taking into their
consideration the distressed condition of the people, had proposed
certain measures to relieve their distresses. Finding themselves
foiled in their endeavours to alleviate these distressesby a fac-
tion of monopolists, they had appealed to the people. He had
to propose to them as a fit and proper person to represent them
in Parliament their old friend Thomas Slingsby Duneombe,
Esq.—(Loud cheers)—who had served them to their heart's
content for six years It was an important thing to them all
to have cheap corn and cheap sugar, and they could not do bet-
ter to secure these things than to return those who would vote
for them.—(Cheers ) Mr. Duncombe had always attended to
their local interests. There was no greater or more effectual
advocate of civil and religious liberty.—(Cheers.) Did any
suffer wider the lash of the ecclesiastical law, which ought to be
removed from the Statute Book—(Loud cheers)—Mr. Dun-
combo always came forward to rescue. -( Cheers.) All class
interests were well protected, but they wanted a man to pro-
tect the interests of the poor, and who would do so well as Mr.
Duncombe ?—( Cheers.) Give the indus'rious population of
this kingdom fair play, and the country would flourish and the
people become happy. He begged to propose Thomas Slingsby
Duncombe, Esq.
Mr. HEWITT seconded the nomination. When he first came
before them he brought with him the character of a friend to
the poor and to civil and religious liberty—that character he
maintained ever since his connection with the borough. He
was peculiarly fitted for the representative of a great borough
by his urbanity, his integrity, and his industry. He had
always seen opposed to Tory and monopolist principles. He
had always advocated the great principles of humanity and
benevolence—(Cheers)—and he thought that no punishment
for political offences ought to bear the stamp of vindic-
tiveness upon ie—( Cheers.) Had his opponents dared they
would have opposed him, but they knew his straightforward
character, and had not dared to come forward.—( Cheers. )
Mr. TIDMARSH proposed Thomas Wakley, Esq.—(Loud
cheers.) He was not vain enough to suppose that they wished
to hear him. They were well acquainted with the indefatiga-
ble zeal of Mr. Wakley in the House of Commons. He was
always present there early and late to oppose corruit and to
support good measures.--( Cheering. ) It was a proud
thing for Finsbury that, although the Tories had carried
their opposition into almost every borough of the kingdom,
they had not ventured to start a Tory candidate there.—
(Cheers.) There had been a shadow of a shade of opposi-
tion in the person of a Mr. Tooke.—(Cries of " Oh dear.")
But he had appeared only to vanish like a falling star, and he had
gone to Reading, where he had met with what ought to be the
fate of all political tricksters. He had been turned out.—
(Loud cheers.) It had been alleged against Mr. Wakley that
he had not sufficiently supported the Ministry; and, on the
other hand, he had been accused of giving them too great
support. Now it was his opinion that it was the duly of a
Member of Parliament to support any measure which he
thought might be for the interest of the people ; and if they
referred to Mr. Wakley's conduct, they would little to find com-
plain of, but much to praise.—( Cheers.) Mr. Wakley was
entitled to their support and praises if it were only for his
conduct in regard to the Dorchester labourers.—(Cheers.)
He therefore proposed Thomas Wakley, Esq , as a fit and pro-
per person to represent the borough of Finsbury in Parlia-
ment.—(Loud cheers.)
Mr. Beceivien seconded the nomination, and said it was
their dutp to send to Parliament Members who would not sup-
port either of the dominant factions, Whigs or Tories, but
who would support measures for the good of the people.
(Cheers. ) If they had had an extension of the franchise,
which they ought to have had, they would not have seen the
trickery which they had witnessed in the city yesterday.—
(Loud cheers.) Mr. Wakley would support the extension of
the franchi e, and therefore he seconded the nomination.—
(Loud cheers.)
Thei e being no other candidate, the returning officer pro-
ceeded to put the names of Messrs. Duncombe and Wakley.
Every one present held up their hands for them, and Thomas
Slingsby Duncombe' Esq., and Thomas Wakley, Esq., were
declared duly elected as Members to serve in the next Parlia-
ment for the Borough of Finsbury.
After the declaration, a
Mr. PATTISON stepped forward, and attempted in vain to
obtain a hearing.
Mr. WAKLEY, however, stepped forward and obtained him
a hearing.
Mr. PATTISON then said that it was no matter who was re-
turned to Parliament, if they were true to themselves. The
present question was not between the large loaf and a small
loaf, but between a loaf and no loaf at all.—( Cheers.) The
accursed Corn-laws had been inflicted on them by the landed
aristocracy, both Whig and Tory, who had only legislated for
themselves, and never for the people. In 1815 the Corn-law
had been thrust down the throats of the people at the point of
the bayonet, and finding that law did not answer the purpose,
they had adopted the sliding scale, to slide the money out of
the pockets of the people into their own.—(Cheers, and cries
of " Question.") The question was, were they to eat bread
or not.--( Cheers. ) If the ports were thrown open for provi-
sions of every description, they would have a revenue that
would be more than sufficient to pay all the taxes out of the
duties paid on those provisions alone. —( Loud cheering. )
alr. DUNCOMBE then came forward and said—A brother
elector had rightly told them that. there were questions before
the people that deeply affected their rights. It was upon that
question that he had asked their suffrages.—(Cries of " You
are returned.") He congratulated them on the disso-
lution of the late House of Commons.—( Hear, hear).
That House was the most dissolute and venal that had ever
existed. It had lasted one year longer than it ought. Will
any gentleman tell me any beneficial reform which emanated
from that House? Look at the Poor-law. Amendment was nowhere
more required than in that law. His Hon. Friend and himself
had in vain laboured to effect improvements. If the last
House had been bad, the next would be worse. The
Queen had appealed to the people. It was for the
people to return such measures as they thought beneficial.
Taking the City of London as a sample of the elections,
that city had disgraced itself. There were questions of the
deepest interest befoi e the people, and they shouldhave returned
four Members who were favourable to them. If Lord John
Russell should prove to have been defeated, it was no reflection
upon the Noble Lord. He had been proposed as the advocate
of great commercial reforms, and if rejected the disgrace
would rest with those who rejected him.—( Loud cheers.) The
aspect of things was very different in Finsbury.—(Hear, hear.)
They had been told by a jobbing lawyer that he and his friend
misrepresented that borough. He announced his intention
of purifying the borough. But the intended puri-
fier of Finsbury had gone to Reading ; and he
had been sent back at the bottom of the poll.--(Cheers.) In
two months there would, he believed, be a Tory Government,
but let not the people despond—they could never be governed
upon the old principles of Toryism. The day had arrived when
the representation of the people had slipped from the
hands of the Whigs, and he believed that soon the
Whigs would confess that the representation was a delusion,
and propose a new and more extended Reform Bill. Neither
his Hon. Friend nor himself would flinch in the approaching
struggle. If they were thought to do to-at least he
could speak for himself —he would be prepared to
resign his trust into their hand.--( Tremendous cheers. )
He would not occupy their time longer, but conclude by
thanking them for the kindness which had been shown to him
by the electors of that borough.—( Cheers.)
Mr. WAKLEY would very much like to know if the meet-
ing believed one-half of the good things which had
been said of himself and his friend ?--(Laughter.) Their en-
deavour had been to pursue that line of conduct which had
met. in the first instance with approbation. He (Mr. Wakley)
had given offence to some by the support, and to others
by the opposition, which he had offered to the
Whigs. It was not easy to please all, but it
was' easy to pursue a straight-forward and independent course
intimidated by neither party.—( Hear.) A great deal had been
said about Finsbury being a Radical borough. He would rather
call it an independent borough. He (Mr. Wakley) would
rathe'r retire from, the representation than tie himself
to the coats of either of the great factions.—(Hear, hear.)
He went into the House an independent man, he came out of
it independent, and now appeared before them unfettered by
party.—(Cheers.) An individual so situated must have great
weight in the House. Did the electors know William
Gregg ?—( Laughter.) That individual had attacked
the characters of himself and his Honourable Friend
by public advertisement. Had he_ (Mr. Wakley) ever
attempted to raise his own character by depressing that of
another ?—( A voice on the hustings, " Yes.") An individual
says, " Yes." Let him come forward and state the grounds of
his statement.—(Loud cheers.) Gregg stated that the
borough was not well represented. He said that no great
measures had been proposed by them ; whilst he him-
self had befriendedte the little sweeps, by preventing
them from crying " sweep." The Honourable Gentleman then
read a paragraph from a printed document of Mr. Gregg's,
demanding., among other things, where were the warm and
public baths proposed to be established in Fins-
bury.—(Hear, heat hear,.) He was glad that the Conserva-
tives had not troubled them with any opposition on that occa-
sion—(Hear, hear)—that they had not put them to unneces-
sary expense when they had no chance of success.—( Hear,
hear.) Now, what would he the result of the coining strug-
gle? The result depended upon the people. He had gene-
rally found that John Bull was a very intrepid Reformer
when he was hungry. If he had got a rump-steak and a pot
of porter before him he would not stir himself; but when the
plate was empty, and the pot upside down, he assumed an
irresistible position.—( Hear, hear.) It was said that the ma-
nufacturing and commercial interests were placed in an hostile
position. Nothing could be more ridiculous. Could the in-
terest of the farmer be injured by promoting the national
wealth ?—( Hear, hear.) It was impossible. There were taxes
imposed that did not go into the public Exchequer; it was such
taxes that they should seek to abolish. There were millions
which went every year into the pockets of the landowners.—
(Cries of Hear, hear.) These individuals went to France
or Italy, because the climate and the music of those countries
were better suited to their tastes. But all the while they were
sucking the life's blood of the country.—( Hear hear.) It was
a disgrace to this country, that any law should be passed to
give protection to the wealthiest class. That law he wished to
see repealed. It existed for the exclusive benefit of the aris-
tocracy, and as such was unjust to the whole country. In the
borough of Finsbury there were 260,000 inhibitants, and
13,000 electors—too great a number to be intimidated. In the
borough of Harwich, there had been a severe contested elec-
tion. Two Members had been returned for that borough, but
what were the -number of votes polled at that election? Why,
the two successful candidates polled only ninety-four votes.
The scenes witnessed in the city on the previous day were truly
disgraceful. Many were forced to the poll. What was the
remedy for that? The only remedy was to extend the number
of electors, and establish the ballot.—(Hear.) He was happy
to inform them that he had been elected on that occasion with •
out cost—( Hear)—and in that respect his supporters had set
an example worthy of being followed throughout the kingdom.
The Hon. Gentleman retired amidst loud cheers.

A vote of thanks was then given to~the Returning Officer,
and the meeting separated.

TOWER HAMLETS.-(THIS DAY.)
The nomination of the candidates to represent this borough in
Parliament took place to-day at twelve o'clock,: on Stepney•
Areen. There are five candidates in the field, three Liberals
( Clay, Fox, and Thompson ), and two Conservatives ( H utchin •
son and Robinson).
Mr. Robinson arrived at the hustings shortly after eleven
o'clock, and was partially cheered. The other candidates
arrived soon afterwards. Mr. P. Thompson was most enthu.
siastically cheered upon presenting himself to the electors.
Silence having been proclaimed by Mr. Reynolds, the High
Bailiff, and the writ and precept, and the Act against Bribery
having been read, and the other usual formalities gone through,
Mr. Ews, the Returning Officer, requested the nume-
rous assemblage to give to every person a patient hearing.
As on the present occasion there were five candidates who
asked for the suffrages of the electors of the Tewer Hamlets,

and as there would be fifteen speeches, he should content him's
self with assuring the electors that he had made evcrY conned
for the taking of the poll to-morrow, and that he t
that all the electors would come forward and vote in a stra len'
forward, manly, and English manner. —( Cheers.)

honour to second was the son of that man, who first adveca
the total and immediate abolition of the Corn-laws—that was
what they wanted, and which he had no doubt they would 500,!,
have.—(Cheers. ) In conclusion he begged most cordially t;
second the nomination of Mr. Thompson, the bringing' °5O
whom forward he believed to be the cause of their haying
numerous amid great a meeting that day.
Mr. BUXTON then came forward to propose Colonel F°l age
a fit and proper person to represent the borough in tb.esetle
suing Parliament. Ile proposed to them a gentleman ;-;40
mately connected with that great name which for thirtY erie
had supported, with surpassing talent, the popular cans-
Parliament—he proposed to them a relative of the east
Charles James Fox.—( Great cheering.) Colonel Fox
in addition, a near relative of Lord Holland, who bade„ g ,
tributed so much to the passing of the Reform Di,„,' as ,
above all, Colonel Fox was the advocate of free trade, as ere
the friend of civil and religious liberty. He thought there "for
times in which Reformers should forget minor difference' lee

upon which they were all agreed.--( Uproar.) He pro` that
Colonel Fox to the electors of the borough, with the belief
he would on to-morrow be placed at the head of the poll. of
Mr. MARTINEAU came forward to second the norrunatit4
Colonel Fox. He was induced to propose the Gallant Coew.„.
