BUCKINGHAM, DEC. 12.

You will have learned ere this that Sir T. Freernantle
and Sir H. Verney, the Duke of Buckingham's nominee,
as he is called here, have been returned for this borough.
The latter is a moderate Reformer. Mr. Morgan, the
third candidate, was defeated by a small majority. If the
opposition to Sir T. Fremantle had been that of a man
of decidedly liberal principles it would have succeeded.
Mr. Morgan failed, because, soon after be started, he de-
clared that as a politician he should endeavour to tread in
the footsteps of the Marquis of Chandos. This declara-
tion disgusted many of his best friends, and no doubt
ruined his cause. People then said they might as well
lave ene Tory as another.

BUCKINGHAMSHIRE.
Mr. D'lsraeli having been beaten at High Wyeotnbe,
starts, or rather threatens to start for the county.

MANCHESTER, DEC. 11.

This day being appointed for the nomination of the
candidates for the representation for this borouph in the
first Reformed Parliament, at an early hour the streets
were filled with the partisans of the several candidates
proceeding in numerous bodies to the arena where the
business of the day was to be proceeded with. Precisely
at nine o'clock, Benjamin Braidley, Esq., the Borough-
reeve, Williim Haines, and Henry Forth, Esqrs., the Re-
turning-officers, took their stations on the hustings, at-
tended by the officers of the town. Previous to this
Mr. Cobbett had arrived in a hack carriage, followed by
the very canaille and rabble of the town, and in a most
scandalous manner succeeded in breaking the line of spe-
cial constables which had been drawn up round the hus-
tings, and whose forbearance alone prevented, thus early
in the day, a collision that might have led to serious re-
sults.

EDWARD BAXTER, Esq., came forward, amidst general
plaudits. Heshould have the honour of proposing to the elec.
t,rs a gentleman, a native of Manchester, of whose talents
and abilities the electors had had long experience, and whose
acquaintance with its domestic and foreign commercial
transactions, from his connexion with both, was well
qualifiefl to represent those great interests in the Commons'
House of Parliament—he alluded to Mr. Mark Philips._
( Loud cheers.)
JOHN SHUTTLEWORTH, Esq., seconded the nomination.

Mr. FIELDEN, of Todmorden, a brother of te candi-
date for Oldham, and whose strong Lancashire dialect
would do credit to any descendant of " Tim Bobbin" him-
self, proposed William Cobbett, Esq., as a fit and proper
person to represent the borough in Parliament.
Mr. JOHNSON, the brush-maker, seconded the nomi•
nation.

THOMAS SHARP, Esq., pronounced an eloquent appeal
in favour of Mr. Lloyd, whose nomination he proposed,
amidst frequent interruptions from the Cobbettites.
Dr. HOLME, a physician of great eminence and exten-
sive practice, seconded the nomination.
WILLIAM CRIRIE, Esq., of the firm of Cririe, Slater,
and Co:, solicitors, contented himself with shortly putting
in nomination John Thomas Hope, Esq., amidst the ,no,t
general and determined marks of disapprobation.
F. ASPINALL PHILIPS, Esq., seconded the nomination.
BENJAMIN HEYWOOD, Esq., proposed the Right Hon.
C. Poulett Thomson as a candidate.

GEORGE HADFIELD, Esq., briefly eeconded the nomi-
nation. _ -

MARK PHILIPS, Esq., after alluding in eloquent terms

to his having come forward in obedience to the requisition I
of upwards of 2,300 of the electors, at the sacrifice of his
own feelings, proceeded to repeat his declarations with re-
ference to the important topics to which the attention of
the next Parliament would necessarily be called. He was
not a mere sucking Reformer—(Cheers and laughter)—.
nor was he just cutting his reform teeth, and be was most
desirous of carrying to consummation the principles he had
ever advocated under the banners of the electors of Man-
chester.—(Loud cheers.) For many years he had served
under the political forlorn hope, in which also his father
had served—(Cheers)—but the extension of the suffrage to
that town had produced a change, and by the march of
'intellect the forlorn hope no longer belonged to the politi-
cal pi inciples he professed, but was now attached to those
who now served under a banner of a deeper blue than his
own.—(Loud cheers and laughter.) [Mr. Philips's co-
lours are light blue, while those of Mr. Hope are dark.]
Mr. Philips then shortly recapitulated the substance of
his former addresses, so frequently delivered to
the electors, and declared himself in favour of tri-
ennial Parliaments and the vote by ballot, as the only
means of virtual representation, should the present Bill
(which he was anxious should be fairly tried) fail in its in-
tended object. He declared himself opposed to all Govern-
ment interference in elections, which even now existed in
the dockyards, and would be the first to support any mea•
sure giving a seat in Parliament, ex-officio, to the tnem-
hers of the Government, but without enjoying a right to
vote. He declared himself an advocate for Reform in the
Church (stablisliment, and he would support all Reform
general'y in that department, as well as retrenchment and
economy in the public expenditure. In short, he was pre-
pared to advocate those measures even at the risk of in-
curring the charge of having gone too far. As regarded
taxation, he was most anxious for the repeal of those imposts
which pressed so heavily upon the lower classes, and the
first of these, in his judgment, were the duties upon soap,
malt, and hops.
Mr. COBBETT, being the next in order, presented him.
self amidst the universal shouts of his greasy partisans.
He pronounced a reiteration of his already threadbare attack
upon Ministers, alluding in particular to Mr. Poulett
Thomson ; and the feelings he gave vent to formed the
watchword for the conduct of "his supporters (who,
though they occupied nearly two-thirds of the open space
of.' St. Ann's-square, did not comprise one elector in
every 20 grouped together) in the ulterior proceedings of
the day. As a matter of course he was loudly cheered in
the course of his harangue constituted of all the vulgarisms
and low abuse which are the characteristics of this poli-
tical quack. It is but justice, however, to say, that from
some cause or other his abuse was solely directed to Mr.
Poulett Thomson when alluding to the election, and on the
other candidates he made no attack.

SAMUEL JONES LOYD, Esq., presented himself to the
electors. The old principles of the Government were
now broken up, and it was for the electors of England to
form the new Constitution i❑ the reformed Parliament.
He was fully prepared to direct the spirit of Reform to all
rational improvements calculated to strengthen and reno-
vate the Constitution, by securing the confidence and affec-
tions of the people. He sought to accomplish this object
by relieving the pressure upon the community arising from
unequal taxation,—by a rigid economy in the public ex-
penditure,—by the improvement of the morals of the
people through the aid of the diffusion of knowledge, and
by the repeal of such taxation as hitherto had cramped the
expansive energies of the labouring classes.—(Loud cheers,
accompanied with disapprobation.)
Joint THOMAS HOPE, Esq., was the next candidate
who presented himself. The scene which ensued beggars
all description, and, despite of the efforts of the Rirough-
reeve, Mr. Cobbett, and all present, it was impossible to
obtain even a partial hearing, and Mr. Hope very wisely
withdrew.

Mr. J. C. DYER, as the representative of Mr. Poulett
Thomson, was greeted with a most unequivocal demon-
stration of unpopularity from the Cobbett phalanx and
others, arising from the double fact that Mr. Cobbett had
mailed Mr. Thomson as a placeman, and that Mr. Dyer,
the locum tenens of the Right Hon. Gentleman, was an
American by birth ; consequently the shouts of " No
Thomson," and " Down with Yankee Doodle," emanated
with great force from almost all parties.
The BOROUGHREEVE then took a show of hands, when
the result was decidedly in favour of/Mr. Philips and Mr.
Cobbett. The show in favour of Mr. Hope greatly pre-
dominated over that for Messrs. Loyd and Thomson, for
the first of whom about seven or eight, and for the latter
about 20 hands were raised.
The 130ROUGHREEVE declared the show of hands was
in favour of Mr. Philips and Mr. Cobbett, and that the
pcll which had been demanded by the other candidates
would commence at the district booths to-morrow (Thurs-
day) morning at nine o'clock, to which period the election
stood adjourned.

Up to the hour at which we write (eight o'clock) the
town continues perfectly tranquil, though the exertions of
the Committees of the canditates continue unabated.

THURSDA r, HALF-PAST 12.

The pulling commenced with much spirit this morning.
Most of the principal shops are closed, and the streets are
filled with anxious observers. The different' polling sta-
tions are surrounded by numbers, and amongst them the
Cobbettites, who wear green bands upon their hats, pre-
dominate, and ever anon set up a tremendous shout of
" Cobbett, for ever." The nomination of the candidates
passed off, contrary to expectation, without any attempt
being made to break the public peace, with the exception
of some slight brawls in some of the streets. Mr. Pou-
lett Thomson, whose cause is gaining strength, it is anti-
cipated, will he in Manchester on Saturday, should he be
returned as our representative. Colours and flags ars
flying in all directions. The following was the state of
the poll when our express left :

Mark Phillips, Esq. 1205
The Hon. C. P. Thomson 8:33
J. S. Loyd, Esq.
John Thomas Hope, Esq.
Cobbett 4BO
