WEST SUFFOLK.

BURY ST. EDMUND'S, JAN. 15.—The election of two
representatives for the western division of the county of
Suffolk in Parliament commenced this day at Bury St.
Edmund's.

The former members, Sir Hyde Parker and Charles
Tyrrell, Esq., having signified their intention to retire from
the representation, four gentlemen offered themselves as
candidates—viz., Lieutenant-Colonel Rushbrooke, of Rush-
brooke Park ; Hart Logan, Esq., of Kentwell-hall ; Henry
Wilson, Esq., of Stowlangtoft-hall ; and Mr. Hales, of
Herringsworth. Colonel Rushbrooko and Mr. Logan are
Conservatives. Mr. Wilson thus addressed the electors in
soliciting their support :—" The character under which
only I can be publicly known to you, and which, therefore,
I must consider as the basis of this flattering application, is
as a decided but temperate friend to reform. Believing
that truth and the public weal are identified will moderate
though decided opinions, I can never look to mere party
for measures suggested by the purest patriotism. Sincerely
attached to the institutions of my country, I hailed the late
great measure of reform in our representative system as a
means to purify and thereby perpetuate them, anti I am
anxious to see that measure carried out in its results in an
honest love of the object, and at the same time with a chas-
tened and sober zeal." Mr. Wilson refused to make any
pledge to follow up any particular measure, if returned to
Parliament.
Mr. HALES declares that be is a Reformer.
Mr. WADDINGTON proposed Colonel Rushbrooke.
Mr. PHILIP BENNETT, Jun., seconded the nomination.
After a speech from Colonel Rushbrooke,
Mr. TYRELL proposed, and Mr. Po wELL seconded, the
nomination of Mr. Wilson.
Mr. WiLsoN then addressed the electors.
Mr. 11.1APLETOFT proposed, and Mr. POOLEY seconded,
the nomination of Mr. Logan.
Mr. LOGAN also addressed the multitude.
Sir H. BUNBURY proposed, and Colonel CAMAC se-
conded, the nomination of Mr. Hales.

Mr. HALES next presented himself to the meeting, after
which

The HIGH SHERIFF called for a show of hands, the ma•
jority of which were in favour of Mr. Wilson and Colonel
Rushbrooke.

A poll was then demanded for the other candidates,
which will take place on Monday and Tuesday next.

YORK (NORTH) NOMINATION.

YORK, JAN. 14.—This day the nomination of the candi-
dates for the North Riding of this county took place in the
Castle-yard at York.
J. B. S. MORRITT, Esq., of Mokeby Park, proposed the
Hon. W. Duncombe.

Sir W. FouLis, Bart., of Ingleby Greenhow, seconded
the nomination.

......
W. WOESLEY, Esq. of Hovingham Hall, proposed Ed-
ward Stillingfleet Cayley. Esq.
FRANCIS CHOLMELEY, Esq., of Bransley, seconded the
nomination.

Colonel CHOLMELEY„ of Howsham-hall, proposed James
Walker, Esq., of Sand Hutton, a young gentleman of Con-
stitutional principles, who had just come to his property,
and who had some ground to stand on.—(Cheers.)
TIMOTHY HUTTON, Esq., of Clifton Castle, seconded
Mr. W.'s nomination.
The Hon. W. DUNCOMBE stood forward and was re-
ceived with cheers. They had assembled that day to de-
termine whether or not the King's prerogative should be
supported. His Majesty, after giving the Whigs his un-
flinching confidence for four years, found them no longer
capable of carrying on the Government of this country.—
(Cheers and hisses.) He (Mr. D.) would support from
his heart the correction of real abuses, whenever and
wherever they were proved to exist, and every measure cal-
culated to improve the condition of the people.—(Cheers.)
He believed that the agricultural and shipping interests of
the country were in a better position now than they were
when the Whigs were in power. Although an abolitionist
of every abuse, he would not support any measure calcu-
lated to destroy our valuable Constitution, and would ever
be found to support the Throne and the Church, and to
preserve, as far as possible, both domestic and foreign peace,
which would tend to advance the happiness of the people
and the national prosperity.
E. S. CAYLEY, appealed with confidence to his conduct
in parliament as a proof that he had not betrayed the trust
reposed in him. Mr. Duncombe had said that the Whig
Ministry had the unflinching confidence of his Majesty ;
but he ought to have added they were not proof against
back-stair influence—( Applause.) He did not doubt the
King's prerogative, and bowed to it. He had supported the
Whigs in most of their measures, because he thought they
were right, but when he thought otherwise he opposed them.
He had, to the utmost of his power, upheld the agricul-
tural interest, and would support the present Ministers, if
he found them adopting measures calculated to benefit the
country ; but he had no confidence in the supporters of a
Metternich, a Polignac, a Carlos, a Don Miguel, a Nicholas,
the dastardly destroyer of unfortunate Poland—(Cheers.)
JAMES WALKER, Esq., solicited the honour of becoming
one of the representatives for the North Riding, solely on
the ground of the principles which -he held—viz., to uphold
the Throne, the Church, and the State. He would sup-
port the agricultural and the shipping interests, the latter
of which the Whigs had left to the tender mercies of the
reciprocity system. He was an independent man, and
sought not for favour or place.
A show of hands was then called for. The greatest dis-
play was for Mr. Cayley, and the next for Mr. Walker.
In consequence, Mr. Duncombe demanded a poll, which
will commence on Monday next.

Mr. FITZSIMON and Mr. EVANS then addressed the

by interrogatories as to his conduct with regard to the
Kingstown bill, non-attendance at the meeting of members
in College-green, &c.
Counsellor HAMILTON next proceeded to address the
electors, and was received with much applause. He was
not afraid to speak of the political principles of Mr. James
Hans Hamilton—(cheers)—who stood prepared to fight
the Conservative cause.—( Hear.) His object was con-
servation, and not destruction. He was not one of those
who would drive the people to madness, and then let them
be destroyed.—(Cheers.) Mr. Hamilton would be anxious
