CAMBRIDGE ELECTION, Ais. zi.

The business of this day was opened from, the
balcony of the Rose Inn, by Mr. MAtmx the Un.
der.Sheriff, after which the late Member was pro-',
posed in a most animated Speech by Mr. JENIVINGS,
Who enlarged with equal energy and cffed on the
family claims, private virtues, and public merits Of
the Righr Hon. Gentleman. He was ably seconded
by Sir EDWARD NIGHTINGALE, in whose enco-
miums we were happy to see that some late perso.
nal differences had been absorbed. The High She.
tiff having then announced Mr. YORKE, as having
been chosen without opposition, that Right Hon.
Gentleman, expressed his sense of obligation to his
cons;ituciirs, with all the eloquence of pathetic gra,.
titude. The Occasion drew from him such just
observations on the war .in which we are engaged,
such refleitions on the inveterate foe with whom we
have to contend, such glowing statements of the
motives which called us into ;talon, that while the
hearers hung with attention on his words.. 66,
hearts thrilled in. unison with his sentitnents. It
is unnecessary to say, that the business of the day
was concluded with all :the satisfaftion which-could
arise from the approbation of his constituents, and
all that decorum which. lisped for worth so natu-
sally inspires.
,The flattering distindion of. sepre—
seining the County of Cambridge is thus for the
fifth time bestoWed on Mr. Yoßxt.
