ELECTION FOR THE CITY OF CORK.

( Abridged from the Cork Evening Herald of Monday.)
The variety of interests, as well as the universal excite-
ment invariably consequent upon an election scene—the
number of the candidates, and the many sources through
which their respective claims and influence ran,—all con-
duced to bring together a large multitude, this morning, as
early as nine o'clock, at every avenue by which the City
Court is accessible. About a quarter before ten o'clock the
doors flew open—not forced in, but yielding to the pressure
from. without ; and, after a few seconds, every inch that
could afford room for sitting or standing, even in the most
perilous position, was covered.
Mr. JAMES MURPHY proposed Mr. Callaghan, ssconded
by Mr. THOMAS LYONS.
Mr. W. CRAWFORD proposed Dr. Baldwin, seconded by
Mr. R. DOWDEN (R.)
ABRAHAM MORRIS, Esq. proposed Lieutenant-Colonel
Chatterton.

The nomination of Colonel Chatterton was seconded by
T. S. REEVES, Esq.
WILLIAM H. GREEN, of Lota, Esq., proposed Mr. Ley-
cester, seconded by Mr. TRAVERS, of Clifton.
Mr. CALLAGHAN said,—Citizens and Electors of Cork,
it is the King's will and pleasure to take the sense of the
people on the question, whether the Anti-reform principle
shall be carried into effect or not ?—whether a Ministry are
to govern a people who arc determined to support the abo-
mination of a Church Establishment ? That is the grand
principle to be tried. Now that you value the democratic
principle, I ask you, do you mean to give it up, or to pre-
serve it ? I rest assured that the love of country is too
strong within you to be beaten down by the gold of the
Tories. I asked, on my canvass, for no exclusive vote for
myself ; no, I sought the same for my late colleague, Dr.
Baldwin ; and I was eminently successful. This will show
that the Tories cannot suborn the people to forfeit their
rights.

-Dr. BALDWIN spoke at some length. The principal
topics of his address were tithes, Repeal of the Union, the
present aspect of political affairs in Europe and America,
and the contest now pending. After concluding, he was
followed by
Colonel CHATTEIITON, who rose and said,—Fellow citi-
zens, To enter into an extended detail of my principles
would only be a useless trespass on your time and patience.
In my public address I have avowed those principles in
support of which I would go into Parliament. I therefore
proceed as soon as possible to the poll, for I am desirous
to prove to all, that the anticipations formed by my most
esteemed friend and colleague, and myself, will quickly
bacome realities.

Mr. LLYCESTER rose, and the greatest confusion recom-
menced. He persisted, however, in delibering his senti-
ments, which we regret we often lost in the noise ; the tu-
mult became fearful ; misslns were flung from the grllery
and struck both the worthy Alderman and Mr. Sheriff
White.
Mr. FALVEY harangued the Court, which was dissolved
amidst great clamour.

BIRMINGHAM, JAN. 25.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sllll,-I am sorry to tell you that the Tories, taking advan-
tage of a few stones being thrown at obnoxious persons of
their own party, who had been very active in their provoca-
tions to the Liberal party, had called in the soldiery ! I met a
troop of Lancers going into Stourbridge about half-past one
o'clock, headed by a Yeomanry Cavalry Quartermaster of
Halerowen. The Reform candidate for East Worcestershire
( Cookes and Russell), were popular in the highest degree,
whilst the Tory candidate, Mr. Horace St. Paul, was power-
fully supported by the tenants of the great landholders in the
Tory interest. No doubt was entertained of the ultimate suc-
oess of Cookes and Holland.—l am, &c.
