B.ATINSTAPLE.

On Monday Lord Ebrington and the Hon. Newton:Felloa-es
-a-ill be returned for the northern division ; so that his Highness
and Joseph take nothing by their motion here. This election
has demonstrated the necessity of the ballot, cr some other
measure of protection. In many instances I found that electors
had purposin.y neglected to register; in a vast number of in-
stances liiey were afraid to state who they intended to vote for
before • the moment of polling ; and many, many, have voted
with a party whose principles they abhor.

BLACKBURN:
On Tuesday morning the nomination of candidates for this
boyough took place upon the hustings erected on Blakeley-
moor, near the town of Blackburn. The returning officer,
James Pickup, Esq., attended by Dr. Bowring and his friends,

and James Neville, Esq., seconded, the nomination of Mr.
Fielden. •

Dr,. BowRING, the only candidate remaining at the scene of
action, presented himself in front of the hustings. I have
lieen upon a mission to France, in accomplishing the cbjects
which Mr. Canning and Mr. Huskisson both failed, and

labours bestowed on that mission are the ground a
com-
mercial point of view, upon which I seek -voursupport, and I
hope I shall obtain it—( Cheers. ) people will rejoice in
my return, not for my sake, but c.or their own—not because it
is my cause, but that lam advocate of the people. [The

and was received with loud disapprobation, which lasted some
time. Ile stated his willingness to accept any real good frern
any Administration. He was listened to with the greatest im-
patience. Mr. Hadfield then came forward, and was received
with great cheering. He declared he would vote for triennial
Parliaments, the extension of the suffrage, the vote by-ballot,

abroad, for a free religion. He would vote for relieving the
bishops of their attendance in the House of Lords, for the

CANTERB UR Y.
JANUARY B.—The polling commenced at nine o'clock, and
continued with spirit during the day. Very great excitement
prevailed, and many disputes and some miner combats took
place, but no very serious disturbance occurred. Immense
efforts were made by the Tories to place Mr. Lushington high
upon the Fell, but the Reformers were invincible.

COLCHESTER.
FRIDAY. —The cercYriony of chairing the successful candi-
dates for the reptesentatiett of this town, took place this morn-
ing at twelve o'clock. Nottlitbstanding the strong party feel-
ing which had prevaiEd throughout the election, and the dis-
appointment eY.perir,need by the Liberal party in the defeat of
the Whig candidaAe, perfect order was preserved, and no strong
manifestation of feeling exhibited.. The successful candidates
were in ar: ',pen carriage drawn by four grey horses, and a
baronet:. These were followed by a stage conch, and the stage
coach was followed by the raob, and the procession went
round the town and came back again.
A public dinner took place at the Three Cups, at four
o'clock, at which the attendance of the fiiends of the candi-
dates, and the supporters of the Conservative cause was
earnestly requested.

DENBIGH 1301tC
JAN. 7-,—L.The election for tlr be:roughs" of Denbigh, Ru-
thin, Holt, and Wrexhel„ c•-..anmeneed yesterday morning;
candidates—John Madocts, Esq., late member a Reformer ;
and Wilson Jones, Es 4., on the Conservative interest. Thu
strong-hold of the Conservatives consists of Ruthin and Holt,
and that of the Liberal candidate Denbigh and Wrezhard.
The forince veteis.are entirely under the yoke of the lord of
the manor, !'.lf West, a high Tory. The poll has just closed
and our patriotic member. has been ousted. Tho victory has
leer. gained by a inanceuvre.the most shametttl that ever was
pr.tetise(iby Englishmen. Yesterday morning, when the poll
r,as opened in Denbigh; both parties agreed not to go the ex,
pense of erecting booths, but to poll in the Town-hall, each
party to have a box. for the purpose. All the electors here,
amounted to 366, with very fP.'w exceptions, are .Liberals; and
yesterday Mr. Cobner Wil'‘fams, the leader of the Tory in-
terest, demanded that every elector should take the Bribery
Oath. The party of Mr.
.I%ladoeks demanded booths to he
erected immediately; but .the Dictator, as he is called here,
objected to it, on the ground that no notice had been given.
There was alternative left but to proceed wit t the
in the ;tame manner. An Express was immediately sent
to Rnalin, to pursue the same course there, in order to
obstruct the expedition of the polling of the 'Tories. An
express was immediately sent back irom Ruthin, by the
r**
Ably faction, to say that they could not succeed, unless the
poll was to go on without interruption. Mr. Williams, finding
that the poll was interruptjd in Ruthin in the same manner,
proposeti that the oath should not be given to either party.
An express was again sent back to that effect, a distance of
eight miles ; but no sooner had it left the town, than the same
course was pursued by Mr. C. Williams, although he pledged
hhoself that if any of his party demanded the oath, he would
immediately withdraw from the contest. The result was, that
the whole of the Tory electors were polled yesterday, and not
one-third of the Liberal party could be polled. I believe the
same stratagem was used in Wrexham, This morning the
poll re-commenced at eight o'clock, and the same course was
again pursued. Finding that very few would be polled before
four o'clrick, the time to shut the poll, Thomas Hughes, Esq.,
oa belahlf of Mr. Madocks, addressed the Court, and expressed
his indignation at the unmanly conduct of his opponents ; and
the party of Mr. Madocks retired from the contest, leaving, I
believe, from 300 to 400 of Mr. Madocks's best and most re-
spectable voters deprived of the exercise of their elective fran-
chise. Thus .7.ofr. Madocks has lost this election entirely by
the treachery of his opponents.

lILTDDERSFIELD.—NOMINATION. •
JP-N.. 8. ---Yesterday was the nomination day for the election
(of n member for this borough ; the candidates were, John
Blackburne, Esq., and General Johnson, some years ago one
of the members for Boston. Mr. Blackburne was proposed
by John Sutcliffe, Es,q. Benjamin Bradshaw, Esq., seconded.
'the proposition. General Johnson's mover and seconder we:re
Mr. Jchn Machin and Mr. Richard Scoles, jun. Mr. Block-
borne, in a masterly and animated speech, went over tb2 lead-
intvics of the day. fie was for redressing all the
grievances of the Dissenters, the enemy of Corporation and
Church abuses, in favour of the ballot, but at Present not for a
fUrther extension of the suffrage. General- .lohnson's opinions
were far more Radical ; he was for immediately extending the
suffrage to all males of twenty-one untainted with crime, an
equitable ai.justment with the public creditor, and for a dis-
connection of the. Church and State.

HALIFAX.
. .
7141 T" 'AM:AV.—At the hour appointed for declaring the final
. state of the poll this moraing, George Stansfield, Esq., pro-
. ceeded' to nod up the poll-books. The, announcement of
N:Yortley's majority. of one over Protheroe was received by the
majority of the persons assembled with loud groans and hisses.
Mr. Protheroe was not pre2ent, and left Halifax this day.
• Mr. Nicholson, the chairman of his committee, returned
thanks on Ws behalf, and announced that the return would be
. brought before the House of Commons. At the conclusion,
three cheers were given by Mr. Wood and three for Mr.
Protheroe. No banners or music were employed to-day by
any party. On the motion of Mr. Thomas Barker, seconded
by G. B. Br(e.vue, Esq., a vote of censure was passed on the
Returning Officer for his gross and partial conduct (luring the
election. The Returning Officer, his two deputies, and two
poll-clerks, were all of the Tory interest. The Liberals ad-
vised the multitude to go quietly to their homes, and deeply
lamented the excesses of the previous day, pointing out the '
folly of pursuing such a line of conduct. Some of Messrs.
Wood and Protheroe's friends last night, at the most imminent
.risk, swcectied in dispersing many of the rioters, who were
almost all strangers in the town, and the arrival of a troop of
Lancers efnetually stopped their further proceedings. The
inns and public-houses on which the rioters vented their fury,
and which now present a most melancholy appearance,
are the White Swan, the Union Cross, the Talbot, the Bri-
tannia, the Sun, the King of Prussia, the Blucher, the Three
Pigeons, the White Horse, the Shakspeare, the White Hart,
the King's Head, the Bee- Ilive, and a beer-shop called the
Odd-fellows' Arms. The residences of private individuals
attacked are. the Vicarage ; Hope-hall, the seat of C. Ravt-
son; Esq. ; Shay, the seat of J. Rawson, Esq. ; the Field, the
residence cf Mr. Staveley ; Shaw Lodge, the residence of
Mr. John Holdsivorth ; and the residence of Mr. Norris, soli-
,citor.• At the latter place the damage is estimated at about
.7490/.. In these lmildings a pane of glass is scarcely visible,
and the (li•:-.trtietien of valuable property is immense. A car-
riage belonging to Hope-hall, and a gig belonging to the
