selves at expense of country,'—`' Russia,"—" France,"—
" Turkey,"—" Faction," Gradually we began to hear some-
thing like fragments of sentences, such as, " When the Whigs

regarded all their promises. Let the people ask themselves—
for they were rational—( Cries of " Oh. oh—my eye !"—what
had the `pro:essors of Whiggish Liberalism done for them?—
( Renewed upt oar.) They had pledged themselves against the
repeal of the Septennial Act, and should they dare to propose
it they would proclaim themselves against the whole world
liars.—( Uproar continued.) Cheap beer and cheap bread
would be talked of. The Whigs were against the re-
peal of the malt-tax, and as to the boasted panacea of the
repeal of the corn-laws, it would not prevent the masters from

grinding down their workmen still lower.—( Renewed and
aggravated uproar.) The Whigs encouraged revolution.—
( Cheers, and erica of " No, no.") The Whigs had united
themselves with Papists, and supported themselves by intrigue.
—(lmmense confusion, with cries of "Do you suppose we hear
you?") The Whigs had supported the odious Poor Laws.—
( llere approached a huge banner on which in black letters was
inscribed, " See the effects of the Wh:g Poor Law," and on the

other side were two pictures—one representing a poor girl sup-
posed to be answering for some fault before a fat justice of the
peace, and the other displaying the girl about to throw herself into
river—the attention of the audience was now entirely engrossed
on this magnificent painting, and the orator, finding it vain to
proceed further, precipitately concluded by seconding the no-
mination of Mr. Walter, amidst indescribable uproar; which

was (if possible) increased when
Mr. LoNamoaE came forward, to propose Mr. Wood, whose

appearance was the more inauspicious, from the confusion
excited by the hurling of divers dirty missiles against the afore-

exhibited under the speaker a plate headed " Emigration
of labourers."] The Poor.law Bill was calculated to do good to
the rate-payers and the poor.---(" Three hundred yards of oily
cloth ;" a remark which to us was mysterious—very.) Mr.
Wood was a resident.—(" Humbug ;" " Lives at Eltham,
Kent, Pnd you furnished his house with floor-cloth.") Sup.
pose Mr. Walter got the Whigs out, who Would succeed?—
(" Anything better than Whigs," and cries of" No v:liigs,"
answered by like exclamations of" Na Tories.") 'roe borou
had formerly sent ellle representatives to Ptrliament, such as
Tierney and Harvey, and it, was inineliant to have men inde-
pendent as Mr. Wood:would be of any Government. And Mr.
Wood must be their representative.—( Tremendous outbreaks
of approbation and indignation, )
Mr. HARRIS then Raw ihrward to second Mr. Wood, and
began by irs'elog, if Mr.lWalter were the friend of the poor,
why did he not vote for cheap bread? which elicited immense
cheering. The Times, of which Mr. Walter was the pre_
prietor—(Cheers, and cries of " No, no")—was in favour of
the repeal of the Corn-laws.—( Unimaginable uproar.)
Mr: Ilineoitn then presented himself to propose Mr. Cur-
ling. Mr. Waiter, who presented himself was a Tar Radical,
and althrorgli a Tory he had embraced the spirit of Chartism,
anci if he seoured his election and could turn out the Ministers,
he erred not that the country was deltiged in blood. Mr. Ellis
was to be p.tied—he was in his dotage—first a Tory, then a
Radical, now a Tory egaiteeethey never knew how to take
him—so let hint pass. Mr. Walter was a good enough
private man, but as a Tory combined with Chartism
and attempted brit-ell, be never would become the Member
for the culitAhtened Constituene3r of Southwark. Be then
cadge to, the other candidate, Mr. 'Wood. Mr. Curling opposed
him because of his incapacity--( Loud laughter)—it was ob-
jected to him that he was a young main ;t but that was a fault
that was daily mending, and although his head was not
mellow his judgment was ripe. Mr. Wood was a five times
defeated candidate, and was not likely to be chosen
for. Southwark, wt en they had a young man full of spirit,
able and detrTeilleed to maintain the rights and liberties of
the people, who sought their suffrages. He proposed Mr.
Curling as a fit and proper person to repreaent Southwark iii
Parliament,
1‘14,. 0031 THORPE seconded the nomination. Hie candi-
date was a young man, and if sent to Parliament,
would serve them honestly, faithfully, and as a good Reformer,
until he wasan old man,
Mr. Witeeise then came forward, amidst a storm of hissing,
which must have been anything but pleasing to him.
Of course his paid men were noisy in cheering him,
but the consequence was that all but his own party
around him were totally Ignorant of what fell from hint.,
Aftl'i a PAW We eaaght that he was a reformer of all proved
aheses, and had been obliged to withdraw his support from. '
the Whigs, becauae many of their measures were ty-
reneieal. He opposed the New Poor Law with rnfghe
and main. If, during the whale of his parliamentary 3.;te,
any one could charge hire With giving a vote, or doiaag any-
thing for hie own pottt 9,r aggrandiaernent, he cl:,allenged him
to Ritle tiartVat'ci 310 state it. If sent to Parliament he would
stlppe,rt those principles witlelt he had always supported, and upon
eeceivingsech a prvq4 invitation from Southwark, he should ne-
glect liiildoty if he declined it. They were all aware that he was
favourable to an alteration of the Curn,laws. With respect to
the Ballot—if they had it tint of the House, they must have it
in the House, es it Was in France,_ and then there was an end
to all the responsibility of a Member to his constituents,
eed he would never ask a vote if he could not refer to his rotes.
The Ballot was clue of the most gross impositions ever practised
upon men of sense. He saw no difficulty in being able to sa-
tisfy treth of those extreme parties by whom he was supported.
He would advise the Government to conduct itself according
to the Constitution of the country. He would advise them
not to oppress the poor—the honest and industrious poor. Us'
way old enough to give that advice—he was, how ow,
yet young enough to aid in exposing measc,rea for
altering the Constitution of the country.—(Lanni cheers.)
There was another point to which reference ktedi been re,ade.
If any person would charge him with karilory he would defy
him to put his name to that eharge, and he Wenld then know
how to deal with him. Charges of that kind were lightly made.
It was said, for inatattee,thet Mr, Ilare'ey gave at one time fifty
pounds to Mr, 'Watson, andsuch accusation could not be relied
on. With respect to the change of party which had been attri-
buted to him, he begged to sae a few words. He had at one
time thought that, though the Whig Government was feebly
conducted, it might be og use in carrying out certain reforms.
Those reforms 444 14.41 itilleo effected, but he found that the
Whigs were every way unfit for ruling over the nation ; and lehad
coesetltinntly ahandoned them. But when had he done this ?
He had done so at the moment of their greatest power ; he had
done so before the dissolution the first Whig Administration,
when it was at the height of its prosperity. He had not de-
serted them the eoar grand division he had not betrayed big:
friend in the hope of any advantage proportioned to the value of
treachery he was taxed with.—( Cheers and hisses.) He
hed still every seal for useful reforms, which he had given many
parliament,
of and if, by their votes, he should be again returned to
parliament, he would steadily pursue the same course--40,
would defend the rights of the people, and he would at the name
time stand by the Constitution of England. (Mr. Walter con-
cluded; as he had began, amidst mingled cheers and hisses, and
aTigkt confusion. )
Mr. WOOD was received by the crowd with very great and
general cheering. He appeared betel" them, he said, after au
absence of some months, and lie should first say that ho was,
surprised at a ehasge which he had heard that day made against
NM: It Ve-s said that he belonged to the Chartists, and that
It c advocated their principles. He acquitted the person who
bad made that charge of any evil intention. He would beg,
however, indignantly to repel the accusation. Time was
when the country would have been contented with a
fixed duty or; eern„ hut the landed proprietors would not eon-
sellt In its and now it would not satisfy the country, For such
pteasereS he (Mr. Wood) had striven, and would strive, inde-
peeaent of any party, whether \Vhig or Tory. Now, in re-
gard to an election for Hull as to which Mr. Walter had bee*
bold enough to affirm that 50,0001. had been paid by a Whit
geptlemen who had since received from it a Peerage—wb,ereas
the Awl was that the expenses only amounted to 5,000 L, which
Was subscribed by the electors, 50/. only Wog subscribed by
the nobleman alluded to ; and this Mr, Walter should
have known before he ventured to publish scurrilous
slander.—(Tremendoei eonfesion. ) Mr. Walter's con-
duct in this election had exhibited a constant trimming

alter had not been here a week before he attempted to bribe
the eleesors.—(Cries of " No, no," and indescribable uproar,
at veral of Mr. Walter's friends prying out " It is false,")
Mr. Wood proceeded ' o sa=y that he had :never heard of
bribery hclhre he heard Mr, Anderson's statement,
and that he would never accept a seat which was owing
to might of
,bribery, or coercion, or treating.—( cheers.)
Mr. Walter asserted that he had nothing to do with the
Times. But who would believe him—(Cheers.) Who that
read the Times---0q that saw how the Times constantly
lauded awl prai>ed him—who that saw how carefully the
:roses searched into every petty pot.house for speeches in his
favour—who could doubt that Air. Walter and the Times wet.

but he wished to give the inhabitants el Soirliwark
the.,. opportunity of manifesting their spirit of independence.
He cared not what might be said about his motives, and he felt
that he could, on his part, reproach Mr. Wood with the oppo-
sition he had given on a former occasion to Air. Harvey—
(No, no)—and the manner in which he tried to supplant him.
That Poor-law Bill was not what it was represented fa. party
Purposes. What was Mr. Walters' opinionss ou other of the
great national measures which interested the cour•try ?
(heers. ) Placards he saw exhibited intended to excite an
outcry
against the Poor-law for what never ezisted, and only
calculated to act as clap-traps for the thoughtless. ' Sire
ht the land scud one of the placards ; but how live? in sloth—
on the wages of the hard-working? There was no such prin-
ciple in the Constitution of this country, nor in Scripture,
"'licit said that man should not live but with the sweat
of his brow.—(hear, hear, hear.) Mr. Walter's ob.
jections to the Bill were to numerous—that none
Could be mentioned—(laughter)he only dealt in vague gene-
ralities, which inquiry would dissipate—( Hear, hear.) If the
Bill were defective in details, remedy them, but in destruction
to the measure itself.—( Hear, hear.)
Here a blackguard got on the shoulders of some others, and
cried out, " Gentlemen, we came here to assemble together,"
—(shouts of laughter)—and the rascal was proceeding when
policemen summarily disposed of him.
Mr. CURLING preceded. Mr. Walter would never succeed
upon the musty " cheese and bacon" outcry of the Poor-law.
—(Cheers.) The electors wanted consistency of principle.—
(Cheers.) They wanted clear explanations on good nation: al
measures. Mr. Curling went on to say he did not [wish
to see the Ministry out, for who would succeed—the Tories.
Now where would Mr. Walters be on the 28th. He would
vote for the declaration of want of confidence,—( Cheers)—
he would be found not with the people's friends but their
enemies.—( Hear and cheers.) The Tories talked of alli-
ances. Whrre would Mr. Walters he but for some of the
Radicals ?—Cheers. ) The 'furies could not muster for him as
many votes as he (Mr. Curling) had the honour to see re-
porters around him.—( Laughter.) Mr. Walter had called in
the aid of .the enemy of his country—the exciter of rebellion—
(Cries of " Oastler," and much uproar)—the " King of the
North"—the arch Agitator—the rebel against his country—
(Shouts of " Shame," cheers, and immense uproar.) With
the aid of that person Mr. Walter hoped to impose on the
eleetots--(Cheers. ) A member of the National Convention
was first found to advocate Mr. Waltcr.—(Cries of " No,"
" Name," and " False.") He cared not for those outcries—
he knew he asserted fact. The man's name was Lowry.
(Cheers)—who insulted him (Mr. Curling) by asking him to
'meTand discuss the Charter. He meet a rebel against his
Sovereign—No.—(immense cheers)—though if it had been
an honest man he would certainly have met him, even the
poorest.—Cheers.) What was the cause of those rebellions
that had agitated the country ?—(Cries of " Toryism,"
avid the Whigs") it was the Tories—and on their heads rested
the blood of the unhappy men who had shortly to expiate their
crimes on a gibbet.—(Cheers.) It was thrown on the misma-
nagement of the Whigs—but that was t o put them down to gut
the Tories up.—( Cheors, and cries of "Down with the Wnigs.")
(Mr. Curling proceeded to announce himself as a Whig, amidst
cheers and laughter, with humorous remarks, such as—" That
has lost you all your votes, Curling—there were but twenty of
them.") Let the Radicals beware how they joined the '1 odes
in the cry of " Down with the Whigs."—(Cheers and
shouts.) They did but aid tho Tories, who joined in that
stupid cry.—( Cheers.) The Tories never supported the liber-
ties of England.—( Cheers,) The Government :now in office
only desired place for the benefit of the country.—(Laughter,
and cries of " Wanted a place." The Tories always opposed
the Whigs in beneficial measures.—(Loud cheers.) And
it would be his (Mr. Curlings) endeavour to keep
out that horrible hydra Toryism,_—( Cheers,) Let those who
cry "Down with the Whigs, say who they would put up—
(Cheers)—the arch agitator, Mr. Oastler--(Uproar)— whose
manceuvres were now disconered—(Cheers)—and the designs
of the Tories were for ever annihilated—(Laughter)—
in spite of their factious vote, that the Ministry
poss,sssed not the confidence of the country—when they, the
Tories, knew well that they would never possess it.—(Cheers,)
If the N7bigs were well supported. they would yet become what
history sh -iwed them—" the Liberators of the people.—
(Laughter, ,lieers, and cries of " Cut it short.") Certainly,
speaking on st:ch a platform was no luxury,—(Laughter. )
In reference to Oastle, he would ask where could be a fitter
place for denouncing- rebellion and treason than the hustings of
a Metropolitan election. " Walter and the Queen" was the
outcry. Her Majesty would be safer in the honest hearts
of the electors. The constitution of the cr)untry he (Mr. C.)
had read differently from Mr. Walter,—who had shown his
l constituency, by ones voting for Whigs, who he now called his
enemies.—(Cheers.) The Constitution Mr. 'Walter ad,
l mired resembled that of Hanover more that of Eng-
land—( Loud cheers)—one which required the sup-
port of the gibbet and the axe—Loud cheers.)
The best way to make the people happy was to make them
loyal ssi the Queen.—(Chfsers. ) How, then, could Mr. Wal-
ter accei:t the support of such a firebrand as this Oastler ?
(Cheers.) ,It was enough to raise a blush in the weather-
beaten face of the hearer of the Tip-es standard.—(Cheers.)
I Teach the ceeple that loyalty to the Queen is the next
lesson to honour' of their Government; and this would not be
done till educatiov was diffused further than Mr. Walter had
ever tried to spread it. They who traduced his (Mr. Cur-
ling's) characterabout the 3001 ,let them repeat that charge now
that he declared he would rather see Mr. Wood the Member
than Mrr Walter.—(Cheers.) He had come out to assert the
independence of the borough, and there he would stand till
to b. e
.secukred ;. and
he saw how that independence waS.
when he saw that lie would gladly aid in -eeping a
‘T.ory from the House.,--(Chee.rs) Mr, Curling went
on to say that he was a friend to freedom—not in
name Gni:, nor such as cannot bus understood—but of rerl, be-
neficial free:lora.—( Cheers.) He would support the', ballot, if
his constituents wished him, but—(" Another turn, stick to
your colours)—lie would certainly stop the abominable
practice of canvassictg.--cliar and sheers.) Leaving it to
the electors on principle giiiing his vote on unbiassed—
and unshackled.—( Cheers.) This «Auld not be acceptable to
• ' some who dealt in intimidation. —( Cheers.) He yet recollected
that Mr. Walter denied his connection With the Tories; but who
believed it.—(" What of that.") it must have been the
Times from which Mr. Walter borrowed his uresent opirliorlS,
(Cheers)—or he could not claim as his motto the poet's deele,
ration.
. •

" Tempora mutantur,
Sed non mutamor cum illis."
Mr. Curling went on to say there were, in the words of another
noet—" Flowers of various hues," and, perhaps, there
ght be a " rose without a thorn," but Nnould the air
of ,_gouthwark foster it.—(Loud Laughter). 111 r. 'W. here
compl,,ined of interruption from one who liked not to hear the
truth. io short, he declared his opinion, that in the great majo-
rity of case's the vast body of the people best knew their interests.
The elector'' owed to their country a sacred duty,
which, no dortht, they would faithfully discharge made-
terred by the eoersion or bribery of which both his
opponents had been guilty—(Cheers andhear, hear)—and he
trusted that even it he lost their votes he should preserve their
esteem.—( Cheers. )
The High Bailiff then took the show of hands. The differ-
ence between Curling's and Wood's c.'as the slightest.
The Hic it BAILIFF declared the election to have fallen on
Mr. Wood.
A poll was then demanded on the part of the other candi-
dates, which will take place to-morrow.

The supplies were ,port, and prices higher—trade rather
lively.
INDIGO SALE—SacoNn DAT.
There was a good attendance of the trade at this sale, and
