any others. Mr. Humphery concluded a long and able ad-
dress amidst much cheering.
Several persons then exclaimed—" Let us also have Mr.
Harvey."
Mr. PERCIVAL said it was important that the meeting
should understand that some of Mr. Humphery's Committee
were faiourable to Mr. Harvey, whilst others were in favour of
Mr. Wood. Under these circumstances, it would not be ad-
visable to identify Mr. Humphrey's cause with that of any
other candidate, but, allow every one to stand on his own foun-
dation. _

Three cheers were then given by a large portion of the
meeting for Mr. Harvey, and after thanks had been voted to
the Chairman the meeting separated.

MAR YLEB ONE.

Last night the friends of Sir William Horne met at the
Gothic Hail, in the New-road, for the purpose of adopting
measures to secure that gentleman's return in the ensuing Par-
liament ; the large room which holds 1,000 persons. was
crowded at an early hour. At eight o'clock Sir W. Home
entered the room, when he was most enthusiastically cheered.

Mr. TEED was called to the chair.
Sir W. flontie would on all occasions do his duty as a re-
presentative of this borough, but he would not go into a
Parliament as a slave, by pledging himself, knowing that he
would better serve them by being free.—( Cheers.) He
would give no pledges, but he referred them to his past con-
duct for the future.—( Cheers.) He knew that the late Mi-
nistry had the confidence of the late House of Commons, and'
of the King, until it was suddenly brokee up ; and he could
not help remembering that the present were the men who re-
tired from the helm because they could not face the represen-
tative assembly ; then, he would ask, what are they to expect
from such a Ministry ?—( Hear, hear.) He would not enter
into any public array. He believed them to be honest men ;
yet lie could not expect much from them. With regard to the
question of whether he should or should not give the present
Ministers his support, he would say that, after mature and
anxious consideration, he felt he could not give it to them.
Several gentlemen then addressed the meeting, declaring
Sir William's address highly satisfactory, after which resolu-
tions were adopted, pledging themselves to do all in their
power to secure his return.
It appears that the number of registered voters for this bo-
rough in the three parishes are as follow .

LAMBETII.—The friends of Mr. Tennyson and Mr. Hawes
are canvassing with great activity, and are confident of suc-
cess ; but there must be no relaxation, for Alderman Farebro-
ther and his party are trying their best to steal a march on the
Reformers.

TOWER HAMLETS.—The Tories are endeavouring to get up
a requisition to Mr. M. Wigram to stand for this borough.

THE COUNTRY.

CANTERBURY.

On Saturday Mr. Frederick Villiers (late Member for
Saltash), the new candidate for Canterbury, arrived in that
town, accompanied by his friend Mr. Henry Lytton Bulwer,
who appeared for a double purpose—namely, to apologize for
his valediction after having accepted the invitation, and to re-
commend Mr. Villiers to the favourable notice of the freemen.
Accordingly, on Saturday, a public meeting was convened in
the Guildhall Concert Room, which was crammed to tip-toe
comfort. Three hearty cheers having been given for the cause
of Reform,
Alderman HENRY COOPER was called to the Chair, and
opened the business of the meeting.
Mr. H. BULWER, who was received with the most enthu-
siastic cheers, then addressed the meeting. After stating that
he had accepted the flattering invitation conveyed to him from
the electors of Canterbury, in consequence of a doubt which he
had (and his friends said an unreasonable one) as to his s'ic-
cess, he continued—On my return to town I had the good for-
tune to meet with a gentleman who has for years honoured me
with his friendship, and whose principles I fully participate in.
—(Loud and long-continued cheering.) It was not private
friendship alone that prompted me to recommend him, for I
knew him to be a man of distinguished abilities—a tried man ;
and therefore that you would have no doubt as to his inte-
grity.--( Cheers.) That gentleman is Mr. Villiers, who now
sits beside me, and a better man I know you cannot have.—
( Cheers.) But you will ask, and you have a right so to do,
why, after having promised to canvas your suffrages, I should
have forsaken you? That point I will clear up in a few brief
words—the electors of one of the most populous and respect-
able districts of London had, in the mean time, invited me to
represent them, I mean Marylebone. So handsome was the
invitation, and so flattering to•myself, that I could not resist it,
although at the risk of incurring your displeasure ; and so
strenuously have the friends of liberty been in their exertions,
that I may confidently assure myself that victory will be in my
favour. These, gentlemen, are my reasons for withdrawing
from a contest in this ancient City. I shall now give way to
my friend Mr. Villiers.—( Immense cheering.)
Mr. VILLIERS said—Gentlemen, what my principles are I
will briefly tell you. I was in Parliament when the Reform
Bill was passed, and on every occasion I always voted with my
friend Mr. Bulwer. lam an unflincing advocate for the
Ballot. lam inclined to believe that the duration of Parlia-
ment is too long, and, therefore, I would vote to give the people
Parliaments which should only endure for three years.—
( Cheers.) I consider it disgraceful that any body of men, no
matter' what their creed, should be deprived of their civil
rights ; and I am persuaded that you will agree with me, that
no man should be deprived of the privileges of a British citizen;
and, therefore, that no man should be refused admission to
the Universities, on the ground of dissenting from the tenets
of the Church of England. The next important question re-
lates to Ireland. Gentlemen, lam of opinion that a large
portion of the revenues of the Church of Ireland should be ap-
plied to State purposes, and for the benefit of the people.—
( Immense cheering.)
The CHAIRMAN then put it to the show of hands, whether
Mr. Villiers was a fit person to represent the electors of Can-
terbury, which was answered by. every hand in the room being
held up, except one, and three times three cheers.
Mr. BULWER again stepped forward, and said— Gentlemen,
if we look to the situation in which Dissenters are placed, I
will say, that neither in France, the most enlightened country
in the world, nor in despotic Prussia, nor in Poland, under
the autocrat of Russia, are they deprived admission to the
Universities. England will no longer submit to have dissen-
ting:- bridegrooms dragged to our altars, nor the gates of the
Universities closed against the admission of their children.—
( Cheers.) It is no longer to be borne. Be firm—be con-
sistent— be united amongst yourselves—be resolute—and re-
turn to Parliament that honest and honourable young nobleman
Lord Albert Conyngham, with my friend Mr. Villiers.--(lm-

TIMES," SERIOUSLY WOUNDED.

A meeting of the non-electors of Rochdale having been
announced for yesterday at twelve o'clock, a great concourse
of people were assembled to witness the proceedings. The
hustings were erected in a field at the hack of the Wellington
Inn, a house forming the back part of them, so that they were
more than usually firm. In the rear of the hustings were the
Tories, chiefly of the working classes, upon a high eminence,
with a band of music, some ten or a dozen flags, and other
paraphernalia usual on such occasions. On the arrival of Mr.
Prentice, about half-past twelve, which was apparently the
time for the movement, the band began to play, and that so
loudly that a deputation of Reformers, non-electors, waited
upon the leaders of the Tory band, to beg their discontinu-
ance of the annoyance. This request being disregarded led
to the riot, and the temporary dispersion of the meeting.
About one o'clock, the Tory non-electors began to move,
led on by two men, bearing a blue silk banner of enormous
dimensions, being fully the width of some of our narrowest
streets. This banner was borne to within three or four
yards of the hustings, when a brawny-armed Reformer
threatened that if it came another inch in advance, he would
destroy it. The banner-men laughed at this threat, on
which this emblem of party was instantly seized, which brought
him a host of assistants in so glorious a cause. The silk was
torn to atoms in a twinkling, the two poles (fifteen feet long)
as quickly into match-wood--and afterwards all the other in-
signia, to the number of a dozen, at least, with their poles and
hoards, were dispatched without ceremony. The poles of the
latter, however, were broken into convenient lengths, with
which they cudgelled their opponents without mercy. This
led to throwing stones and other missiles, with which the
place abounded, when a regular battle ensued with these
weapons. It would be within compass to say that a cart-
load were thrown in the direction of the hustings, in a very few
minutes. The hustings were cleared in an instant, with the
exception of Mr. Prentice, who, with perhaps rather more
obstinacy than prudence, stood there alone, yet strange to
say, unscathed. The meeting was dispersed, but again
congregated opposite the Wellington Inn, in which, it is said,
there was a Magistrate, and who, it is also said, had been
there during the whole of the riot, but still without interfering.
Fortunately there were no military in attendance, or the conse-
quences might have been dreadful. Whilst congregated before the
inn, a second riot was anticipated, from the animosity shown by
the two parties (non-electors both of them). In this place. Mr.
Prentice was singled out by some ruffians, and a stone thrown at
him, estiniated by Mr. P. to be a pound and a half in weight,
and which hit hint on the angle of the left jaw-bone, and, rup-
turing or cutting the facial veins, caused him to lose some three
gills of blood before the hemorrhage was stayed. That the less
was great is certain, it having caused a temporary faintness. The
stone was sent with such force, that a double-toeth in the
under jaw struck with such force thp double tooth in the upper
jaw as to splinter the latter. A number ofeither wounds were in-
flicted on and by both parties, bat we have hessl nf pothing of a
serious nature, except the fracture of a !eg.
A meeting was afterwards held, of course undisturbed, at which
resolutions intended to have been passed at the first meeting were
carried; to the effect, chiefly, that the repreientation of the bo-
rough of Rochdale ought to In one that will support such measures

as are calculated to relieve the labouring and industrious classes
from such burdens as bear particularly hard on that body.

SOMERSET (WEST)-CHARD, DEC. 29.

Mr. Tynte arrived in town this morning, attended by a nume-
rous and highly respectable body of his friends. The Honourable
Gentleman was received in the most cordial and enthusiastic man-
ner. We had now a Ministry composed of men who had at all
times opposed reform—who had opposed the Reform Bill in all its
stages ; it was, therefore, the duty of the constituencies to send up
such men to Parliament as would still bring forward and support
such further measures of reform, both civil and ecclesiastical—
(cheers)—as were loudly called for, and were called for with rea-
son and with justice—(Cheers.) He had been told that at Chard
a re-action had taken place. At Chard, of all places—( A laugh. )
He came, and he found that, the only re-action, if he might so use
tiha term, was an increased determination to support reform repre-
ser,tatives. The same aspersion on the integrity and good sense of
the inhabitants of Yeovil had also gone forth; but as he approached
that town, the lying phantasy had vanished into "thin air;" he
went there, and found the same gratifying result as before—the
same kindness—the same support—(Loud applause.) England,
said the Hon. Gentleman, expects every man to do his duty in the
hour of peril • and he was sure the men of Chard would do theirs,
as they had always done, faithfully, fearlessly, and independently.
The Hon. Gentleman retired amidst much applause.
A. Ceossr, Esq., addressed the electors, and avowed his convic-
tion that the cause was placed in a position of extreme danger by
the unprecedented manner in which the late Ministers were dis-
missed.—(Loud cheers.) He relied on the sound and strong feel-
ing of the country against Tory domination ; and, after various
pertinent remarks, concluded by moving resolutions consonant with
the feelings of all present.
R. BALL, Esq., begged to second most cordially the resolutions
which had been so ably moved by his excellent friend, Mr. Crosse.
Mr. Tynte had been tried, and might be trusted ; his assiduous,
independent, manly, and straight-forward conduct had secured for
him the heart-felt confidence and determined support of the Re-
formers of West Somerset—had installed him in their hearts.—
(Loud cheers.) Mr. Sanford, the cause of whose absence every
man having the feelings of a husband must acknowledge to be one
of paramount duty, and which we must all deeply lament—Mr.
Sanford, who had fought the Reformers' battle manfully and inde-
pendently, who had continued the steady friend of reform measures,
deserved our confidence and support, and he would have it.—( Loud
cheers.) West Somerset will be true to her cause, and will
send up again her two Reform Members, Tynte and Sandford,
to join with other Liberal Members in a constitu:ional effort
to oppose a Tory Government. He considered the present a
most awful crisis—(Loud cheers)--pregnant with danger to the
bast interests of the country—with danger to constitutional
Liberty.—( Cheers.) The country determined to have reform, and
a Horse- Guard Cabinet determined to oppose it.—(Loud cheers. )
Gentlemen (continued Mr. B.), the political character of public
men is public property; to judge fairly of what they will do, we
must refer to what they have done. —(Cheers.) We have then
the Duke of Wellington as virtual Prime Minister : his Cabinet, at
all events, has one good quality—it admits of no mistake ;it carries
on its front the legible characters of ultra-Toryism for England, and
an Orange faction for Ireland—( Loud cheers)—ultra-Toryism,
which, when formerly in power, undoubtedly conceived the dark
conspiracy against the liberties of the people, which supported a spy
system, passed the infamous Six Acts, and drove the country to the
verge of convulsion.—(Loud cheers.)
Though the evening was closing in before the meeting broke up,
and though it rained heavily the whole time the parties were speak-
ing, the mass of people remained to the last, most anxious and pa-
tient listeners, and separated with three cheers for Tynte and San-
ford.—ls this reaction at Chard?

THE WEST RIDING OF YOJ?KSHIRE AND
BOROUGH OF LEEDS.
On Tuesday Lord Morpeth and Sir Geo. Strickland, Bart., can-
didates for the West Riding of Yorkshire, commenced their elec-
tioneering campaign at Leeds, under the most favourable auspices.
In the morning, the West Riding candidates, and Mr. Baines, the
late member and candidate for the ensuing election for Leeds, break-
fasted with a large party of their friends and supporters at the
White Horse Hotel ; and though the announcement was brief, the
room was filled with gentlemen, who all seemed animated by a de-
sire to render the most efficient aid in the great cause which de-
manded their support. Afterwards a committee was appointed, con-
sisting of individuals present, to aid in the election of Lord Morpeth
and Sir George Strickland. The candidates, attended by a large
party of gentlemen, then proceeded to visit the freeholders of the
Coloured Cloth-hall.
Lord MORPETH, after a short pause, presented himself, and was
received with loud applause. When the cheering had subsided, his
Lordship proceeded as follows :--Gentlemen, however much the
dissolution of the Reformed Parliament and the disturbance of a
peaceful country may inspire me with regret, they do not produce in
my mind any feelings of alarm. The respect I always met with, and
the cordial reception you are always ready to give me, alike forbid
me to wear the countenance of despondency. You are aware, gen-
tlemen, by this time, that the West Riding of Yorkshire is threat-
ened with a contest. If they so wish it, welcome, I say, be that
contest.—(Loud cheers.) Raise again the stanard, and renew
the example of 1807.—( Cheers.) The same be the cause—the
same be the result—the same in every thing but its Bills.—
(Cheers and laughter.) A cry has lately been much in vogue of
" Measures, not men." Now, gentlemen, Sir Robert Peel, in his
late address at the Mansion-house, has given the disclaimer of such
a cry. He asks for confidence, not for his measures, but confi-
dence for those who will carry them into execution. We find, on
looking over the list of the Ministry, that it contains a list of the
old Tory stagers, with a stronger mixture of Irish bigotry
than ever blackened any former Administration.—( Hear, hear.
I cannot pretend to be for a disturbance of the basis (revising the
disqualifying clauses of the Reform Act is quite another question)
I am not for the too frequent occurrence of Parliaments (they are
annual at present, this being the fourth time I have had the honour
of appearing before you in four years)—(Laughter)—and, above
all, though a sincere friend to Church reform, and the removal of
the grievances of the Dissenters, I am not for the separation of
CLurch and State.—(Hear.) Connected with, depending on no-
thing but land, stepping in this respect beyond the bulk of my
party, opposing almost the whole of my own class in society, I have
ever said, and I still say, lower your duties on corn, and cheapen
the bread of the people.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) I confess to
you that I do not see any very immediate chance of eff, cting this
object, with any party, or under any change of Government ; the
comparative lowness of price at present, together with the uncon-
vinced opinions which the great body—not by any means of land-
lords alone, but of agricultural constituencies, still entertain, do not
encourage the prospect of a very speedy consummation of your wishes,
but I feel convinced that in the end you, the consumers, will have it.
I pretend to no new opinions ; 1 put forth no new lights ; lam the
zealot of no new conversion ; orange is still my colour.—( Hear,
hear.) lam still—receive the name as you choose—a Whig—
(Hear, hear)—a name, lam aware, that does not always command
immediate popularity, but I believe it to be entitled to solid and
lasting respect.—(Cheers.) I ask you not to let the cause of
Liberal principles retrograde.—(No, no.) Let the West Riding
send us forth, and show an example to the united empire.—
( Cheers.) You have the power, if you have the will.—( Cries of
"We have it.") Send us forth again to conquer. The Noble
Lord concluded amidst three cheers.
Sir GEORGE STRICKLAND, Bart., then came forward, and said
—Gentlemen, I ask you, do you wish to see the oligarchy raised
up again? If not, exert yourselves on this great occasion against
against it.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I ask you what are the prin-
ciples of the present Administration ? How are we to ascertain
them? The most nataral way seems to me to be to judge the cha-
racter and known principles of the men who have joined the Ad-
ministration.—( Hear, hear.) Now I will take one of them who
has been for a long period of time looked up to by the Tory faction
as a firm supporter, I mean Sir Edward Knatchbull. It is only a
few weeks since, gentlemen, at a meeting in Kent, he said,
" These are my principles—l am a known and determined Tory.
I hold that every man is an enemy to the country who will
not exert himself to uphold all our institutions and establishments
in the same state as they have been handed down to us by our an-
cestors."—(Laughter.) But, strange to say, this Sir Edward
Knatchbull—this determined enemy of all reform—is now a Re-
former of Sir Robert Peel's school.—( Laughter.) Now, gentle-
men, it is a difficult matter to find out what the real principles of
this Administration are.—( Hear.) I will say one word more. If
you are friends to your country, let me entreat you, if it was my
last breath, to adhere firmly to your principles-4" We will !")
Recollect aria =NU that, in the long run, honesty is the best

M.P., then presented himself, and was

rive when I will make a com.parison of the conduct I have pur.
sued in Parliament ; and I will only say, that every pledge I gave

On these principles I will stand or fall, With respect to the first

ton and Sir Robert Peel is founded on exactly opposite principles.
The late Ministry was dismissed because they were too ardent Re-
formers. The present Ministry was called because they refuse to
reform at all. After some other remarks, Mr. Baines concluded
amid loud cheers.
The candidates then visited the White-cloth Hall, where they
were received with equal cordiality. Lord Merpeth and Sir George
Strickland left Leeds about one o'clock, to address the electors at
Hudddrsfield, where it is confidently anticipated that they will meet
with a reception equally gratifying as that which they. experienced
in the latter place. The Coloured-cloth Hall yard is a spacious
arca, capable of containing from 25,000 to 30,000 persons ; and the
attendance, considering the inclemency of the weather, was ex-
tremely numerous, amounting to eight or ten thousand persons.
But the most pleasing feature of the meeting was its perfect unani-
mity of feeling, which affords a sure presage of final success in this
great contest, as it shows that Reformers of all grades, whatever
differences they may have among themselves, are firmly united in
decisively opposing the Tory domination with which the country is
threatened.

Ain BURGHS.—The Scotch journals contain Lord James Stu-
art's address from Naples, of the 3d of December. " What we
have reason (Lord James writes) to apprehend from his Majesty's
new advisers is abandonment of those reforms, both in Church
and State, upon which we had a right to calculate, and to obtain
which the great Reform of the Representation was only to be
ecusidered as the means. If you complained of the tardiness of
