BOLTON.

•NOMINATIO.

JAN. 6. —The nomination of candidates for this borough
took place on Monday.
Mr. JOSEPH SKELTON nominated Colonel Torrens.
Mr. THOMAS CULLEN seconded the nemination.
Mr. PETER ROTHWELL proposed William Bolling.
Mr. STEPHEN BLAIR seconded the nomination.
Mr. KAYE nominated Peter Ainsworth, Esq., e-
whom he d
clared to be a Reformer—opposed to all abuses either in
Church or State.

Mr. CHARLES AINSWORTH seconded the nomination.
Colonel TORRENS, on coming forward to address the elec-
tors, was received with loud cheers, mingled with some hisses.
He went over his votes and conduct respecting the Bank
Charter, the Corn Laws, the Poor Laws' Amendment Bill,
and the Inquiry into the condition of the Hand-loom-weavers,
for whom he declared that at the earliest available moment of
the ensuing session, he would again raise his voice.., The Gal-
lant Colonel concluded his speech, by declaring his adhesion
to the ballot as a modeof voting, and retired amidst loud cheers.
W. BOLI.ING, Esq. was an admirer of the principles of Sir
R. Peel, as contained in his address to the electors of Tam-
worth.—( Tremendous uproar.) He however was not pledged
to his Administration, and would go into the House free and
unfestered.

P. AINSWORTII, Esq., avowed himself a Reformer—a friend
to the ballot and the shortening of Parliaments. He would
strenuously support the reform of every abuse in Church and
State.—( Loud cheers.)
A show of hands was then taken by the Returning Officer,
who declared the result to be favourable to Mr. Bolling and
Mr. Ainsworth. A poll was therefore demanded, and the Re-
turning Officer appointed it to commence on the following
morning. The contest, which will be a severe one, lies be-
tween Colonel Torrens and Mr. Ainsworth.

BURY.—NOMINATIOIV.
JAN. 6.—Tuesday morning the election of one Representa-
tive to serve for this borough took place at ten o'clock in the
morning. Shortly before that hour Mr. Walker, accompanied
by his committee, proceeded to the hustings from the Red
Lion Hotel, and the forms and ceremonies being gone through,
the ex-Member was nominated by E. Grundy, Esq., banker,
and seconded by Greg, Esq., as a proper person again
to represent the borough.
Mr. WALKER shortly addressed the electors. He declared
himself friendly to, and ready to support, any measures of ne-
cessary and judicious Reform ; but opposed to any radical
changes in the Constitution, or the established institutions of
the country.
The returning officer, Ti►os. NOORIS, Esq., then demanded
if any other person had a candidate to propoFe, and none ap-
pearing, Mr. Wallier was declared duly elected, amidst the
Amino of his friends.

PRESTON:—NOMINATION.
TUKSDAY NIGHT.--The excitement here, though an old bo-
roUgh, and consequently accustomed to scenes of the kind,
equals that of any former occasion.
The hour appointed for nomination this morning was ten
o'clock and th(i friel:l4 Pf iho nimdidates met at their several
itatles at hali.past nine, in ortier to march in procession to
ilie usting4. The candidates are Flesketh Fleetwood, Esq.,
the tiorl. H. T, Stanl7, Colonel Thompson, and Thomas

HULL.—NOMINATION.
JAN. 6 —The nomination took place yesterday. Mr. Hill
made a brilliant and effective speech of nearly three hours' du-
ration. Mr. Hutt followed in the same spirit, and with great
effect. Mr. Carruthers was heard with great impatience by
an immense concourse of nearly 10,000 people, when a show
of hands was taken, and in favour of the Reformers, of nearly
100 to 1. Beverley is lost through the curse which has
afflicted it—bribery—the Tory having come up to the mark.

ROCHDALE.NOMINATION.
TUESDAY NIMIT.—The nomination of candidates for this
borough took place this morning. The great height to which
party spirit had been carried led to the anticipation .of some
popular outbreak upon the occasion ; but it is satisfactory to
state that no such violence was manifested.

WILLIAM CnAnviticK, Esq., manufacturer, seconded by
John Taylor, Esq., of Spottards; a candidate. in 1832,
proposed J. Fenton, Esq., banker, as a fit and proper re-
presentative.

CLEMENT RORDS, Esq., banker, proposed, and JOHN HOL-
LAND, Esq. (both magistrates), seconded, the nomination of
John Entwisle, Esq., of Foxholes, as a fit and proper repre-
sentative. The respective candidates afterwards addressed
the meeting ; but, from the confusion which prevailed, their
addresses were wholly inaudible.l
The returning officer then demanded a show of hands, and
declared it to be in favour of Mr. Entwisle.

Mr. BARTON, seconded by Mr. BRIGHT, jun., then de-
manded a poll, which was granted, of course, and appointed
to commence on the following morning.

WARRINGTON.--NOMINATION.
JAN. 6. —The nomination for this borough took place on
Tuesday, at eleven o'clock, upon hustings erected for the pur-
pose in the Butter-market. The candidates were John Ire-
land Blackburne, Esq., of Hull, a Conservative, and Charles
Hindley, Esq., of Dukinfield, a Conservative, who was sup-
ported also by the Dissenting interest.
Mr. THOMAS PARR proposed (amidst mingled groans and
cheers) Mr. Blackburne, as a fit representative for the borough.
Mr. Jonx CLARE seconded the nomination.
Mr. GASKELL proposed Charles Hindley, Esq.
Mr. J. STUBBS seconded the nomination of that gentleman.
Mr. BLACKBURNE maintained that it was false to charge
Tory Administrations with being opposed to liberal measures,
since they had emancipated the Catholics, and taken the first
step in removing the disabilities of Dissenters, whom they
,were willing further to relieve, so far as it could be done with
safety to the Church.—( Cheers and groans.) It had been
alleged that the new Government would undo the reforms
which had already been effected; but he believed that the
Duke of Wellington would as soon have thought of retreating
upon Brussels after the battle of Waterloo, as would the
Ministry dream of retrograding upon the old abuses, after the
new professions they had made.—( Uproar. )
Mr. HINbLEY next came forward, and was received with
enthusiastic cheers. He belonged to no party—( Loud laugh-
ter, answered by cheers)—and as he had been called a Radical,
he was willing so to be considered, in one sense. He was a
Radical, if by the term were meant one who wished to eradi-
cate abuse; but he was not a Radical, if the term implied
merely one who sought chance only as change. He gave no
pledge or promises, or if he did, he would only give one, that
he would use the power which might be given him only to
advance the general good.—( Uproar. )
At the close of the worthy candidate's speech, the returning
officer demanded a show of hands, which being in favour of
Mr. Hindley, a poll was demanded and granted. The pro-
ceedings were then adjourned to the following morning, at
nine o'clock.

LAUNCESTON.—NOMINATIOIV.
JAN. s..—Sir H. Hardinge was proposed by J. Lethbridge,
Esq., and seconded by Mr. Proctor. Mr. Howell was pro-
posed by T. Philips, Esq., who ably exposed the system of
bribery and corruption that had been used to influence the
electors of this borough. J. Pearce, Esq. seconded the nomi-
nation.

Sir HENRY HARDINGE then rose. He held his seat there
free and unshackled—and he would abide by the Reform Bill,
as it had become the law of the land. He and his colleagues
were willing to make every reform consistent with the safety
of the institutions of the country. He was willing to give the
Dissenters their civil rights and privileges, but would oppose
their entering the Universities if they would not take the ne-
cessary tests. He never would consent to the separation of
Church and State—the monarchy could not exist without it ;
but he would agree to a fair commutation of tithes on just
principles. He opposed a reduction of the Pension List, be-
cause the King had a right to give as many pensions as he
pleased. It had- been said that the Tories had intrigued Earl
Grey cut of office ; this he ( Sir H.) denied. It was Lord
Melbourne (whom the Gallant General was pleased to deno-
minate the dregs and offscouring of the Whigs) and his party,
who had by their intrigues ousted Earl Grey from his office.
Several other gentlemen addressed the electors. On a
show of hands being made, Thomas Ching, Esq., Mayor, de-
clared the majority to be in favour of Sir H. Hardinge. A
poll was then demanded for Mr. Howell by Mr. Philips. The
polling will commence at nine o'clock to morrow morning.

LEICESTER.—NOMINATIOIV.
JAN. 6.—The nomination took place t}-=
morning, on a
hustings in front of the Exchange. rR
nated by Matthew Babingtonl r Evans was nomi-
John Coltman, Esq..
banker, and seconded by
Me. Serjeant Goulburn was
then nominat.:yoy i-ienry Wood, Esq., Alderman, and se-
on‘!..o by Richard Mitchell, Esq., hosier. Mr. Ellis was
nominated by Thomas Paget, Esq., banker, and seconded by
Thomas Stokes, Esq., hosier. Mr. Gladstone was nominated
by Mansfield Gregory, Esq., Alderman, and seconded by
John Briggs Robinson, Es]., hosier. The poll is fixed for
to-morrow and Thursday.

LEWES.
TWO REFORMERS RETURNED.
J.N. 7.—The Tories did their best in this borough. The
battle was well fought, and victory is in favour of the good
cause. The Reformers have won the day in capital style ;
and it must be admitted that the Tories fought in a manner
that in a better cause would have entitled them to some degree
of commendation.

LIVERPOOL.
The Reformers are perfectly confident of being able to re-
turn their two candidates. In the first plaee, the Tories have
nearly exhausted the old freemen, who are their sheet anchor.
Lord Sandon has polled upwards of 1,200 more of these wor-
thies than he did on the first day of the last election. Every
stratagem has been resorted to, for the purpose of effecting
this object, the freemen having a perfect horror of recording
their "sweet voices" in the early stage of any contest. They
always hang back until the last moment, in order to feel the
pulse of the candidates, and ascertain the chances, if, any, of
turning their privilege to account. To-day, however, the
Tories have been more than usually successful in influencing
them, which has been principally produced by representing to
them the folly, as well as the danger, of " holding back," be-
cause the bribery oath would be administered to them to-
morrow. So strong has been the effect of this representation,
that in one district, the Haymarket, upwards of 500 freemen
recorded their votes for the two Tories before noon. The
total number of eligible freemen is about 3,500, of which not
more than two thirds have been exhausted.

The town to-day has been desperately excited. Several
outrages, some of them, I fear, of an alarming nature, have
been committed, principally against the supporters of the Tory
candidates.

LUDLOW.—NOMINATION.
JAN. 6.—Yesterday the nomination of the candidades took
place; they are—Lord Clive, Mr. E. Romilly, and Mr. E.
L. Charlton. This morning the polling commenced at nine
o'clock.

There is every probability of the return of Mr. E. Romilly
and lord Olive.

MALDON.—NOMINATIOIV.
The nomination took place on Tuesday. Up to Saturday
it was generally supposed there would have been no opposi-
tion to the late Members, Mr. Lennard and Mr. Quintin
Dick ; but on that day the Conservative party made an active
canvas on behalf of a gentleman who, it was said, was ready
to come forward in their interest, without, however, mention-
ing the name of their candidate. On Monday the new candi-
date arrived in the town—Humphrey St. John Mildmay, son-
in-law of the Right Hon. A. Baring, and a son of Lady
Mildmay, who has large estates in Essex. The Mayor put
the names of the candidates to a show of hands, which he de-
clared to be in favour of Dick and Mildmay. Mr. Payne
then demanded a poll on behalf of Mr. Lennard, which the
Mayor appointed to commence the following morning.

NEWCASTLE- UP ON- T YNE.—NO MINA TION.
l'ustmr.—The nomination of the candidates for the re-
presentation of this town took place yesterday, on the Sand-
hill, a large area in front of the Guildhall, which was crowded
with a dense mass of people. The candidates we're,—Sir. M.
W. Ridley, Bart., and John Hodgson, Esq., the late Mem-
bers; William Ord, Esq., of Whitfield-hall (for about thirty

Smith, Esq. The first gentleman is known as one of the late
Members for Preston ; the second it is needless to describe ;
Colonel Thompson is the editor of the Westminster Review ;
and Mr. Smith is the well-known Radical of Liverpool.
The Corn Exchange was the place of meeting, and the head
of the gallery, which extends along three compartments of the
interior of that building, constituted the hustings.
GEORGE JACKSON, Esq., nominated Mr. Fleetwood.
Mr. PALEY seconded the proposition of Mr. Jackson.
WILLIAM RAWSTORNE, Esq., nominated the Hon. H. T.
Stanley.
JOHN WALKER, Esq., seconded the nomination.
Mr. JAMES PARK nominated Mr. Thomas Smith.
Mr. MITCHELL, the old ally, and recently the sworn foe of
Hunt, seconded the preceding.
ROBERT SEAGER Esq., proposed Colonel Thompson.
Mr. SEDDON seconded the nomination.

Mv. FLEETWOOD addressed the electors. He defended him-
self generally from the aspersions cast upon him by Mr.
Mitchell and others ; and confessed that, if his vote on the
Poor-law Bill had to be given again he would not vote for such
a measure.

Mr. STANLEY then came forward. He should vote for the
ballot ; and, as a friend of the Church of England, he
was anxious to remove abuses, but not at the expense of
the Establishment which constituted the basis of that Church.
Mr. SMITH (of Liverpool) next supported his claims to the
suffrage of the electors of Preston. He came forward, he
said, on Radical principles.
A show of hands was then taken, when very few were raised
either for Mr. Fleetwood or Mr. Stanley ; the cry was for
Smith and Thompson. -
A poll was claimed, and fixed to commence on Thursday
next.

years the Representative of the borough of Morpeth); and
James Aytoun, Esq., of Edinburgh, who had been invited to
come forward on the Radical interest. They were severally
proposed as follows :—Sir M. W. Ridley, by Mr. Alderman
Sorsbie and Colonel Bell ; Mr. Hodgson, by Mr. Alderman
Reed and Mr. Cuthberts • Mr. Ord, by Mr. A. L. Potter
and Mr. E Charnley; and Mr. Aytoun, by. Mr. A. Easterby
and Mr. J. Fife.

Sir M. W. RIDLEY avowed himself the continued friend of
civil and religious liberty, and a Church and Corporation
Reformer.

Mr. HODGSON declared his approval of triennial Parlia-
ments ; his determination to oppose the ballot .and an extension,
of the suffrage ; and his resolution not to give a vote expressive,
of want of confidence in the present Ministry.
Mr. ORD next presented himself to the notice of the meet-.
ing, and was received with loud applause. He should feel it
his duty to his country, by all fair, by all parliamentary, and
all constitutional means, to remove from office those men whose,
appointment, in his opinion, was insulting to the country.
They promised reform at home ' • but he, for one, believed that
the people of this country would not be the dupes of their hol-
law professionsiNothing was known, nothing could be ascer-
tained, as to their foreign policy ; and judging from the pastt
he could have no hope that it would tend to the welfare of this
country or to the peace of Europe.—( Cheers.) Mr. AYTOUN addressed the electors in explanation of his,
principles, which he said were those of Lord Durham on
the " three great questions," and which, on other topics, em-,
bodied the most Ultra-Liberal opinions promulgated at the.
present day.
On a show of hands being taken, it was declared to be in favour
of Messrs. Ord and Aytoun (which it was by a very large ma-
jority), and the other candidates having demanded a poll, the
piling was directed to take place next morning.

LYMINGTON.
JAN. 6.—W. Alexander Mackinnon, Esq., a Tory, and
John Stewart, Esq., a Reformer, have been returned. Mr.
J. Weld (who is brother to Cardinal Weld), and who started
on the reform interest, having resigned, the above were re-,
turned without opposition.

NORTHAMPTON.--ELECTION.
JAN. 6.—The parties in the Liberal interest have this day
made the most strenuous exertions in favour of Mr. Hill,
who, although brought forward at the eleventh hour, is likely
to beat the nominee of the Ministry—the new Lord of the
Treasury, Mr. Charles Ross.

It is confidently believed, that had the same strenuous exer-
tions been made for the Southern Division of the country, Sir
C:'Knightley, though so long in possession of the field, would
have had as hard a run ; and' it is yet;, thought, that at the
notnination on Saturday, either'Mr. Jones Lloyd, who, has very
extensive property in the county, or Colonel Bouverie, whose
family stands in such high estimation with all parties, will yet
be brought forward.

PONTEFRACT.--ELECTION:
TUESDAY, JAN. 6.—This morning :the nomination for thiii
borough took place. J. Gully, Esq., was nominated by ---
Sayle, Esq., of Wentbridge, and seconded by Wm. More-
house, Esq., of Knottingley. Henry Taylor? Esq., the Re-
corder of Pontefract, nominated Lord Viscount Pollington, and
was seconded by Mr. Gaggs, of Knottingley.
Mr. J. J. Sun Low, of Chancery-lane, proposed Mr. neriff
Raphael.

Mr. Fisma seconded the nomination.
The Hon. H. A. SAVILLE, on behalf of 114 orother Lora
Pollington, spoke briefly and fluently, in, dPience of Consero-
tive principles, and thanked the electors for their kind recep-
tion of him.

Mr. RAPHAEL said that he 'dad travelled from London in
sixteen hours, to be p
.rest;it on this occasion. He briefly ex-
plained his political, and concluded by assuring the elec-
tors that Mini:,ters had nothing to give which he desired.
Money Ile did not want--place he desired not—honour none
cr_luiti equal that of being their representative.
The show of hands was declared to be in favour of Mr.
Gully and Mr. Raphael, and Mr. Saville demanded a poll.
Throughout the polling the numbers were very near each
other, and Mr. Gully and Lord Pollington were declared dull
elected. The chairing is now taking place, amid the nsgal
election noise and bustle.

READING.
.WEDNESDA r.-CLOSE OF THE POLL.-- During the whole
of this day, the most strenuous exertions have been made by
the friends of Mr. Oliveira and Mr. I?..ussell : and it has,
throughout the day, been, indeed, a nerA-and-neck race. The
shortening of the polling-time by ti:4o Reform Act has done
much in preventing the intiraid,:,tion and Tory tricks se no-
torious in Reading; but still it has prevailed to some extent.
The number of voters registered is 8,002, and the number
polled amounted to abollt 930.

REIGATE.
JANUARY q,__ REIGATE.
candidates for this borough were Lord
Eastnor, am'. Mr. Moore, barrister, of Lincoln's Inn. ReiffatO
has long 'Jeen known as a pocket borough of the Somers° fa-
mily, and it is not likely soon to lose that character. Lord
Eastnor was returned by a majority of 71-14 only having
voted for Mr. Moore.

ROCHESTER.—NOMINATION.
JAN. 7.--The nomination took place on Tuesday. Mr. Al-
derman Thompson proposed Mr. I3ernal, and was seconded 14
Captain Pudner. Edward Twopenny, Esq. proposed, and
W. H. Nicholson, Esq. seconded, Lord Charles Wellesley-
Mr. Twisden Hodges was proposed by Mr. Fisher, and se-
conded by Mr. Fly.
Mr. Bernal and Mr. Hodges expressed their determination
fully to carry out the principles of the Reform Bill. The
Tories praised Sir Robert Peel's Tamworth address, and his
Lordship proniised to look out for abuses. The show of hands
was decidedly in favour of the Liberal candidates, and the
Mues are quite confident of success. The proceedings of the
other party give very evident indications of weakness. The
poll commences on Thursday.

TAMWORTH.
The election for the borough of Tamworth took place 'oil
Monday last. Lord Charles Townshend having retired, Mr.
Yates Peel came forward as a second candidate, in +:ne roofs'
of his Lordship. Sir Robert Peel and his brother were
accordingly nominated, and no opposition bein--6
