trougham was in London, and that a letter had just been re-
ceived from T. T. Luccock and William Smith, Esqrs., the
deputatioa despatched on Monday to London, stating that on
their arrival they learnt that Mr. Brougham was at the scat of
Ids father-in-law in Hampshire, that they were posting off
their immediately, and should be in London again in such
time as would probably allow of their reaching Leeds with
Mr. Brougham on Thursday morning. This announcement
was received with loud applause.
What will he the result of the whole poll it is impossible
to predict. Mr. Bower, and his friends of the Radical par'-
who have cordially united with the Reformers, have :ot in
general polled ; and at Bramley, where there are about fifty
impelled electors, the Reformers are certain of 7J-6, tyhile only 6
are certain to vote for Tories, the rem.-aming_ 8 remaining
neutral. The Tories state that, b 7 a trick of their's at the
registration, 2SO Liberals disfranchised ; the Re-
formers think this too an • estimate, by upwards of a
hundred. Should Mr. Br(;ugham arrive to-morrow morning,
it is expected that he;nd Rir. Baines will immediately visit
all the districts and r:,ut-townships. A great desire is expressed
to see the Hon. rsfientleman in the midst of his friends.
QUARTER. 7 NINE O'CLOCK.-Mr. William Brougham has
just arrive" and was received with the most tremendous cheer..inG. rile Reformers are in high spirits.

LIVERPOOL.
WEDNESDAY EVENING.—The Liverpool election terminated
this day, in.thc return of the old Members. We made a des-
perate struggle to return two Reform Members; but, owing
to the extremely short time that one of them, Mr. Morris, was
in the field, we have only succeeded to the half of our wishes,
It was a gallant stand-up fight. The Tories here are frantic
with rage against our independent Member, Mr. ;wart ; and,
although they have moved heaven and earth to effect his over-
throw, their qearest object has been frustrated. I cannot con-
vey to you an idea of the various and unpnealleled acts of inti-
midation that have been used to deter the liberal part of the
constituency from supporting both of the Reform candidates.
There can '.re no sort of purity of election, either here 'or else-
where, we have the protection of the ballot. Of its ab
solute necessity the proceedings of this day have convinced
every independent elector of Liverpool. The town has, of
course, been in a high state of excitement during the last two
Clays, and_ the attendance at Mr. Ewart's meeting to-night was
irikTelv,e, there being. not less than 15,000 persons present.

EXETER.
JAN. 7.—The election terminated this thernoon, in the re-
turn of Sir W. Follett and Mr. Divot The learned knight
has the honour of reviving the ancient system of contesting an
selection, which we had thought had died with the birth of the
Reform Bill. Five thousand pounds, it is said, have been the
juice of this instance of re-action.

MANCHESTER—NOMINATION.
The nomination of candidates for this important and influen-
tial ocrough took place on Wednesday morning. The com-
batants are—the Right Hon. C. P. Thomson, and Mark
Phillips, EN., (the late members) ; Benjamin Braidley, Esq.,
ra gentleman who has filled various principal offices in the bo-
rough ; and Sir Charles Wolseley, the gentleman who distin-
guished hhatelf some years ago by his violent Radical incli-
nations, card who was especially honoured by being made the
choica rf the unrepresented of Birmingham as their "
attorney."
About half after eight o'clock, the committee of Sir Charles
Volseley arrived at the hustings, followed shortly afterwards
by 'la. *Phillip and his committee. Mr. Thomson and Mr.
Braidley immediately succeeded, attended, of course, by their
respective committees.
Me, R. H. GItEIG proposed Mark Phillips, Esq.
Mc. C. J. S. WALKER seconded the nomination.
,tor. B. HEYWOOD nominated the Right Hon. C. Poulett
Thomson.
Mr. .J. C. DYER seconded the nomination.
Mr. GARDINER nominated Benjamin Braidley, Esq.
Mr. HA-INES seconded the nomination.
Mr. FIT.LDEN nominated Sir Charles Wolseley, as a fit and
proper representative for the borough.
Ma. CON Dr seconded the nomination.
Maar. Pntoteas, Esq., presented himself to the meeting. He
said that if the policy of the last Ministry disappointed the
expectatioas of Reformers, they could not possibly expect
that the principles advocated by the new Administration of
Weßington and Peel would be more satisfactory. Sir R.
reel had told them they must look to men ; and he would do
so. Ile would look to the men with whom Sir Robert had
just acsocietcd himself and, so looking, he did not hesitate to
say, that he felt towards them the greatest possible dissatisfac-
tion and distrust.—(Hear.) Ile would urge upon the elec-
tors, by every consideration he could possibly advauce, to look
with th 3 most searching and suspicious eye at the Ministry--
to remember what they had done before, and what was likely
to be their future course. He would say to Reformers, as to
soldiers, Stand to your arma, and by no means yield to the pro-
posed delusion. Let them remember Polignac when he took
office under Charles X. He attempted to delude the peop7e
of France with promises of desired changes, and yet they
would remember how he too was. mixed up with the Orden-
nances of July. The Hon. Gentleman then adverted to the
state of Ireland, and to the melancholy disaster at Rathcor-
nine ; .after which he proceeded to observe that he had never
been . the servile follower of any Administration.---( Hear.)
In his Parliamentary career, he had taken a perfectly inde-
pendent curse, and should continue so to do. ..
The Right ;ion. C. Pouoavr Tnomare then presented
himself to the electors, and said, " Gentlemen, we are
told that rearenchment with us was but a dead letter ; but I
appeal to any man I see there in the crowd as to the taxes he
himself pays, whether the four years of the Reform Govern-
ment had not been of eminent service? I ask him whether,
though we have not repealed the malt-tax, and though there
are many obnoxious taxes yet remaining, whether he has not at
least obtained relief from the economy, the retrenchment, and
the unsparing reductions of the reforming Government. So
much then for the Reform Ministry; my own personal conduct
has been befOre you. On the one hand, in connection with
the Gov.:ma-lent, I have been acting my part with them; on
the other there have been occasions when I have found that
personAl opinions could not conveniently or consistently be
yte:ded, and when consequently I have been determined to
soparate those opinions from the opinions of my colleagues,
and to pursue my own course. I did so with regard to the
repeal of the 'cotton tax ; I did so upon a question which. is far
the most important that can be committed to Parliament—l
mean the Corn Laws. I have heard it stated as a charge
against me that, in the speech I delivered upon this subject, I
declared that a repeal of the Corn Laws would not produce
cheap bread. I said no such thing. I said it would not re-
duce the moneyprice of bread, but that it would give the
people money to purchase bread.--(Cries of " Hear, hear.")
I have heard it said, with great pleasure, by a party on my
'left, that the-people must distrust both Whigs and Tories,
and that Radicals were the true Conservatives. I might
perhaps differ upon that last point ; but of this I am sure,
that a man cannot be less of a Conservative in the one than
he is in the other of these extremes Land I am satisfied that
those who advocate, as their present Tory party now in power
must do—those who advocate the maintenance of all abuses--
who stand up for what are called our ancient institutions, and
would not repair or renovate them--I say these men are the
greatest Destructives of their age, and that to them the ruin
of all that is valuable in our institutions might be attributed.
The dissolution of Parliament, I contend, clearly proves the:,
you are now appealed to return, if possible, a Tory majoa;ay.
Away, then, with 11 eery of " Try 'em"—or " measurer, not
men." Return to Parliament those whose principles
mu ap-
prove of, and who are determined to see power in t:ne hands
of those from whom the country may expect sorneAing. Mr.
Thomson then alluded to the affair of Ratlnoormac, indig-
nantly repelling the charge, that it was in consequence of an
order from Lord Melbourne's Government txiat that horrid
outrage took place.
Mr. BRAIDLEY next addressed the ele.ctors. He declined
to pledge himself to vote for any spe;ific measure ; but de-
clared that though, if elected, he w°,nld not be made the tool
of any party, or lend himself to tejv Minister, it was his in.
tendon to give the present Mini'aters a candid hearing and a
fair trial.

Sir CHARLES WOLSELEY was the next speaker. He was a
Radical Reformer : he e•.ar had been so ; he bad struggled
and suffered—nay, he "s even now suffering for his opinions.
He stated himself frie-.7:11y.. to separation of Church and State'
the repeal of the m".:tt-tax, and the Poor Law Amendment
Bill, a thcrough-%.oing reform of the Church, English and
and Irish, and 'a very wide extension of the suffrage.
The reture;tng officer, E. BUCKLEY, Esti., then took a
show of hx,v:As, which he declared to be in favour of Sir C.
Wols?ley er.d Mr. Braidley. A poll was instantly demanded
on bellaU of Mr. Phillips and Mr. Thomson. Mr. Buckley
anncu-iced that it would open at the appointed places on the
folio wing morning.

OLDHAM.
Within the last few days an active canvas had been carried
on in favour of Captain Taylor, a gentleman of Conservative
principles ; but the day preceding that appointed for the no-
minatic,n, he announced his intention to retire from the con-
test, so that, at the hour appointed, on Wednesday morning,
Me:srs. Cobbett and Fielden, the only other candidates, were
duly elected.
Mr. COBBETT, in his address, eulogized the patriotism
and firmness of his Majesty in having dismissed from his pre-
Tence the last Administration, whom he characterized as a
part of the most cruel and detestable faction, and as a crew of
undermining and dishonest men.
Mr. FIEL.DCN spoke in strong terms of the importance of
the vote by ballot, short Parliaments, and universal suffrage.
The meeting then quietly dispersed.

OXFORD—NOMINATION:
JAR. 7.---The nomination of the candidates took place this
day. Mr. Alderman Wyatt proposed Mr. Hughes, and was
seconded by D. Eaton ; Mr. W. Parker, who was seconded
by Mr. Brocklcsby, proposed Mr. Stonor—but the moment
Mr, Tawney and Mr. Parsons came forward to propose Mr.
Maclean, there arose such a universal clamour against those
gentlemen and their candidate, that not one word of their re-
marks could be heard. The candidates then proceeded to
address the electors. A poll was then demanded for Maclean,
which was fixed for the following day. The contest will be
severe, as the Tories are using every exertion, and all sorts of
undue influence. Nevertheless, Hughes and Stonor are con-
sidered safe.

WIGAN.—NOMINATION.
The nomination of candidates for the representation of this
borough took place on Wednesday morning at ten o'clock, at
the Moot Hall. James Lord, Esq., and the bailiffs, who are
the returning officers Lnder the Reform Act, having taken
their stations, Mr. Heron, manufacturer, proposed, and Mr.
Hardman seconded, the nomination of Charles Standish, Egg.,
as a fit and proper person to represent the burgesses in Parlia-
ment. Mr. John Acton nominated, and Mr. Reece Brown
