THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 5, 1835.

GENERAL ELECTION.

ST ALBANS-NOMINATION.

MONDAY, JAN. s.—The fate of this borough in the ensuing
Parliament will not be so happy as it_ was in tilt hell it
returned the.*tvo MM.' Members, Sir Francis Vincent and
Ward, the son of the author of " Tremaine," who dis-
tinguished himself in the late Parliament by bringing forward
the celebrated resolutions respecting the Irish Church, which
were the proximate cause of convincing a large body of the
Cabinet that some decisive step must be taken upon, that sub-
ject. Sir Francis Vincent having announced his intention to
retire, and the Hon. Edward Harbottle Grimston, second son
of the Earl of Verulam, his intention to stand, it appeared as
if the borough would be represented by a Conservative and a
Reformer. Many inhabitants of the borough who might per-
haps have been disposed to oppose a Conservative stranger,
felt themselves compelled, either by the personal popularity of
Mr. Grimston or the influence of his father, to give him their
support. At the eleventh hour, when such a thing was least
expected, the Carlton Club sent down Mr. Beresford, a son
of Lord Decies, tolerably supplied with cash, which it is said
has been scattered among the poorer voters with an unsparing
hand. Very shortly after Mr. Beresford's appearance, it wus
understood that he should have whatever votes Mr. Grimston
could split with him, so that Mr. Ward's election, which was
at one time certain by a large majority, will now prove a hard
battle, although it is hoped that the independent voters will
not so far forget their English feeling as to suffer themselves
to be persuaded by any arguments to return a Beresford.
The three candidates arrived at the hustings, with their re-
spective friends, at a little after eight o'clock. The procla-
mation having been read, Mr. Ward was proposed by Mr.
Kinder, and seconded by Mr. Webster; the Hon. Mr. Gr;m-
ston was preposed by Mr. Story, and seconded by Mr. Smith;
and Mr. Beresford by Mr. Osbaldeston and Mr. Alderman
Brown.
The MAYOR declared the show of hands to be in favour of
Mr. Ward and Mr. Grimston, upon which a poll was demanded
by Mr. Beresford. The proposers and seconders of the can-
didates addressed the electors in the following order ;--
Mr. KINDER and Mr. WEBSTER having moved and seconded
the nomination of Mr. Ward,
Mr. WARD came forward, and said that the faith which Mr.
Grimston had in the policy of the Duke of Wellington, he
(Mr. W.) had in Earl Grey.--( Cheers.) He went into the
House, therefore, as a supporter, on party principles, of the
late Administration. He in consequence voted with those
Ministers on most occasions. It was sometimes with reluc-
tance ; but he looked upon their several measures as a part of
one good whole, and did not feel himself at liberty to weaken
the general cause of Reform by opposing them.—( Cheers.)
It was not till he saw the utter vanity of that system of conci-
liation which Earl Grey was inclined to try with the House
of Lords—it was not till he saw the futility of all attempts
to reconcile irreconcileable political enemies—it was not
till he saw that Earl Grey was losing that by which only
he could be supported—the approbation of the people—
Loud cheers)—that he took his own course. The elec-
tors knew what that had been.—( Cheers.) He thought
it necessary both to speak and vote against the late Mi-
nistry when he saw it attempting to mutilate their own
measure for the reform of the Irish Church.—( Hear, hear.)
He had proved by the most incontestible evidence of history,
that it was impossible quietly to govern Ireland as long as
the present tithe-system had to be kept up in that country by
an army of 23,000 men, which cost us a million a-year, by a
police which cost 300,000/. more, by annually issuing 20,000
tithe processes, and by grants of sums of money amounting to
1,500,000/. to build churches and glebe-houses.—( A voice—
" for the Beresfords.") They were called upon to submit to
all this—to support an establishment which drew nearly
9.?,0,000/. per annum from the Catholic population, and which
only pretended to be of service to 600,000 Episcopalian Pro-
testants. That was a system which could not be supported
and if they wanted any proofs of this assertion, they had only
to look at the reports which had appeared in every paper (for
the Tory papers had not been able to suppress it) of the hor-
rible massacre of Rathcormac—( Shame, shame, and groans.)
As a man and a Christian he could not look upon the system
which gave rise to such scenes without abhorrence—( Applause
and a cry of " Nor any one else except parsons.") Although
he advocated the separation of Church and State in Ireland,
he did not in this country. He wanted to reform, but he was
a supporter of the Church Establishment in England, but his
method of supporting it was very different from that of
the Tories. He was as strong an advocate for Corpora-
tion as of Ecclesiastical Reform ; but he had no hope
of obtaining Corporation Reform from the present Mi-
nistry, for the Corporations were their strong-hold. The
members of the Corporations must be made annually elective
by the inhabitants of the different towns whose funds they had
the management of—(cheers.) Every appointment made
sii.ce Sir Robert Peel attained the reigns of government, had
tended to confirm him in his original opinion. The men chosen
by him as colleagues were not only Tories, but Tories of the
most bigotte'l character there were in the country. Nothing
like them had been collected together since the days of Pitt
and Castlereagh. Indeed, Lord Castlereagh would have been
far too prudent a man to have embarked in the State vessel
with such a crew. He was confident the people of England
would repudiate their guidance—( Cheers.) Having declared
himself in favour of triennial parliaments and vote by ballot,
the Honourable Candidate referred to the fact of some hired
fighters having been brought down from London to bully the
electors, and pledged himself that no disturbance should be
raised on the part of his friends.
Mr. ANTHONY STORY then proposed Mr. Grimston, and
was seconded by Mr. SMITH.
Mr. GRIMSTON then shortly addressed the electors, and said
his opinions were, as nearly as possible, the reverse of Mr.
Ward's. He was not prepared to declare uncompromising
hostility to an Administration before it was formed—( Hear,
hear,) nor to pledge himself to the support of measures be-
fore they were brought forward—( Hear.) He wished to sup-
port measures and not men, and whatever measures were
brought forward for the benefit of the country should have his
cordial support.
Mr. OSBALDESTON said, that in consequence of the absence
of the Honourable Baronet (Sir Astley Cooper), who was to
have proposed Mr. Beresford, it became his painful duty to do
so—(Loud laughter.) He moved, and
Mr. Alderman BROWN seconded the nomination of Mr.
Beresford. _

Mr. BERESFORD came forward. He returned thanks for the
encouragement he had met with in his canvas, and attributed
it to his Conservative principles. He would support the insti-
tutions of the country, but was willing to lend a helping hand
to correct the abuses which had now become public.—( A laugh,
and cry of " Then your family will be badly off l")
Several gentlemen afterwards addressed the electors, before
the polling was recommenced, but our limits prevent our giv-
ing their speeches.
The day passed off quietly, and the numbers, at the close
of the poll, were, for—
Mr. Grimston
Mr. Ward 77
Mr. Beresford
