MANCHE SPE hi, 442, 3.

The crisis is fast approaching. the Sheriff's precept was
received on Thursday, proclamation was made yesterday, and
on Wednesday comes Ihe nomination.
Mn, Poitlett Thomson, ex-President of the Board of Traci?,
and one of our late representatives, arrived on Wednesday
night at the house of Mr. Dyer, hit principal snpporter, and
yesterday evening he addressed a number of his friends at his
committee-rooms. To-day he made his first public appear•
ante on 'Change, where all our Wealthiest mere assembled to
meet him. He entered the room in company with R. Hey-
wood, t sq., 0. W. WoOdi Esq., and other friends, and was
most cordially cheered by the very numerous and respectable
assemblage. At the urgent desire of those around him, he
was induced to adjourn to the large room above stairs, which
was greatly crowded with auditors.
Amidst the most hearty cheering, Mr. Tnomsori mounted
the table, and proceeded to address the electors. The
crisis in which we are now placed is one of infinite and ever-
% helming importance.—( Hear.) The people of this country
are now called upon to say, on the exercise of the power which
they hold under the Reform Bill, whether they will have the
Government conducted upon the principles of a steady but
safe continuance of Reform--( Hear)--or whether they will
consent to see power again placed in the hands of those from
whom it had been withdrawn, because they were the enemies
of Reform, and hostile to all improvement.--( Applause.) We
have heard that the people were tired of political excitement—
that quiet and repose was what they sought. I believe that
prior to the event of November there was never greater quiet—
( Cheers)—greater contentment, orprosperity than existed ge-
nerally throughout the country. When, indeed, I look at this
assembly, and consider what are your occupations and what
your interests, and when I take them as a sample of those of
the community, I would ask what could any man want but quiet
order and security ; and I would further say, that before the
late events quiet, order, and security, were possessed by the
people of this country in an unexampled degree ; and I say
further, that the means of maintaining these blessings—the
only way in which they could effectually be secured, namely,
the working out, gradually and safely, those reforms which
have given contentment to the people—were in the adoption of
Government, and were being secured to the people by that
Government.--( Cheers.) Who, then, has produced the re-
verse of quiet—who has produced the excitement which now
exists from one end of the country to the other upon the sub-
ject of policy ? It is those who, in defiance of their repeated
declarations that between them and power there was a gulf—
that they were in a minority in their opinions as regarded the
representatives of the people, have seized the helm of power, and
exhibit to you a list of names, such as every man friendly to free-
dom has only to peruse to sec that we cannot expect from them
those blessings and those improvements to which we have a right
to look forward. A delusion has been attempted by raising
the cry of " measures not men." Much to his credit, the first
Minister of the Crown was the first to dispel the delusion ;
for he said that every statesman must feel—that to be sup-
ported simply on the ground of measures, and not of confi-
dence in the government itself, was that which an honest
statesman could not wish to seek for. • That delusion failing,
we have heard of another to which I wish particularly just
now to advert. Yon are told you have no choice now. On
the one hand there is a Tory Government—enemies, it is true,
of reform ; but on the other, there are only the Destructives
(as they are termed,) and you must, in order to avoid the one,
agree to accept the other. Was ever reasoning like this?
Let me ask what becomes of the late Administration? What
becomes of Lord Melbourne and of all those colleagues in the
Cabinet who have fought, in the last two years, the battle of
the people, and who were prepared with measures of reform
for the ensuing session? What has happened that suddenly
these men are to he considered as placed behind and utterly
excluded from power, and that neither the people nor the
Crown can any longer place confidence in them ? It is, in-
deed, a most perfect delusion--a delusion adopted merely to
prevent and delay that reflection which must come to every
man's mind. Since I had the honour, gentlemen, of being
connected with Manchester, I have presided over a depart-
ment of the State connected most intimately with the interests
of trade and commerce. I have endeavoured to discharge
that duty—and at the same time as your representative—to
advance, to the best of my abilities, the interests of commerce.
--( Hear.) My opinions upon the principles which should
guide that conduct are well known to you, and I feel some
satisfaction in thinking that, during the two years I have held
power, I have removed not a few of the vexations which
pressed upon commercial industry.—( Applause.) I say, then,
to you, and any in this room who politically differ from
me, do you not think that, at least as a commercial representa-
tive, I have fulfilled your expectations?—( Cheers.) The
struggle must come—not in this town only, but in the country
—within the next fortnight ; and I hope that the opinions
which I and my friends about me prefess, and which we all
have at heart, will be secure in the country, as I feel confident
that they are here. Mr. Thomson, on sitting down, was
loudly cheered. After some further proceedings, the meeting
broke up. The return of Mr. Thomson and Mr. Mark Phi-
lips (two Whigs) is deemed secure.

ASHBURTON, JAN. 1.-Mr. Horsley Palmer, the eminent
merchant and bank-director, arrived at Ashburton, Devon, on
Tuesday, but no notice was taken of his arrival. On the same
eveninr, at a very late hour, Mr. Charles Lushington, the
liberal candidate arrived ; and on Wednesday morning, his
friends commenced a spirited canvas, and are very confident of
success.
137Anyoan,ftrOn the arrival of the news of the dissolution,

the committees of the different candidates immediately assem-
bled A series of resolutions were passed by Mr. Lister's
committee, expressing, that it was their duty, as Reformers?
to render every assistance to a gentleman of similar principles
with Lister ; and as Mr. Hadfield was of that descriptioui
they unanimously determined on a coalition, and both parties
have Commenced a general canvas. which has exceeded their
most sanguine expectations. The nomination is fixed for
Thursday.
BERKSHIRE.—We are given to understand from good autho-
rity that Mr. Walter, the Reform Candidate for this county,
from the number of promises, may rely on being again returned
to Parliament.

BiamiNoiliter..—Attwood and Scholefleld will again be re-
turned for Birmingham. R. Spooner. Esq., a Conservative,
hi about to withdraw.
COVENTRY.—Mr. Bulwer having retired, the return of
Ellice, the old member, and William Williams, of Watling-
street, it certain.
DUDLEY.--'Thomas n'—,-;;-..kes, Esq., has already made a
tOrnplete canvas; and his party seem
to entertain little doubt
of his being triumphantly returned fur tiii;
borough. His op-
ponent, Captain Forbes, R, N., who has been Livited by the
liberal party to offer himself, is hourly expected. He also
pledged himself to poll the last man against any Tor.caudi-
date wbo may take the field.
and
Courtenay Boyle, T. Sheppard, Esq ,a
M. Bridges, Eiq., (it Is believed), stand nearly in the Pave
position with regard to numbers, as in our last week's report;
and as each candidate appears determined on polling to tho
1 ist, the contest will of course be a severe one. Proclamation
has loon made to-day (the 2d) for the nomination to take place
on 'Wednesday, the 7th instant, and the poll to be held on the
two following days.—Keene's Bath Journal.
GATESHEAD.—The election for this borough was fixed this
day ( Friday, Jan. 2,) to, be held on Thursday next, the Bth 01
Jaraury. Cuthbert Rippon, Esq., will be returned without
opposition.
1-11411,.—The Tories are as usual practising *very dirtytri
in order to return their man—a person whom they themselves
acknowledge to be " a conceited simpleton." The Refor-
mers, however, arc united as one man.
LEICESTERSHIRE (SOUTHERN DIVISION).--NOtWitbStandillg
the empty vaunts of the partisans of the Tory Candidates,
Messrs. Halford and Frewen Turner, the late truly liberal and
honourable member, Mr. Dawson, has met with that cordial
reception all through the canvas hitherto, which leaves ne
doubt of the issue. The Northern . Division will not be
contested.
LEICESTER BOROUoll.—Every hour adds to the excitement
here prevailing. Every succeeding day's canvas gives addi-
tional confirmation to the assurance of success to our late
worthy representatives, Messrs. Evans and Ellis. Victory is
assured. The polling commences on Wednesday morning,
and terminates on Thursday afternoon.
LEWES, JAN. 4.--The Tories are using all their influence
in order to secure the return of their champion, Mr. Fitzroy;
Lut it will not do. The iliends of Sir Charles Blunt and Mr•
Kemp are sanguine as to the re,:ult of the election, but never'
thelcss they are leaving nothing to ()Imes,. The nomination
takes place to-morrow at eleven o'cloc::, and the polling
on
the two following days.
