LINCOLNSHIRE-NOMINATION.

LINDSEY DlVlSlON.—Yesterday (Thursday) morning
was fixed for the nomination of two Knights to serve in
Parliament for the division of Lindsey, when a vast con-
course of the freeholders assembled at the Castle.

The preliminary proceedings being gone through,
Sir MONTAGUE CHOLMELEY stepped forward, and pro-
posed I\lr. Pelham as a fit and proper candidate.
The Rev. CHARLES ANDERSON seconded the nomi-
nation.

The Right Hon. C. TENNYSON rose for the purpose of
proposing that they, the freeholders, should on that occa-
sion elect as one of the Representatives for the parts of
Lindsey, their old, tried, and patriotic friend, Sir William
Ingilby.—(Loud cheers.) If any man could say that his
Hon. Friend had not acted up to the profession he made
on the hustings—if any man could say he had retreated
from any single principle he announced at that period, let
that individual refuse him his support ; let his Hon. Friend
be now rejected, and the Hon. Gentleman who came in
opposition to him be placed in his stead.—(" No, no !" and
laughter.) Those persons who had intercourse with his
Hon. Friend, knew there was no man more attached to
the maintenance of all the institutions of this country ; no
man more anxious to uphold and to repair, merely in order
to uphold them than he was.—(Hear.) His Honour-
able Friend had no desire to pull down the Church of
England. Quite the contrary. A member of the Church of
England, he wished properly to regulate it, and make it effi-
cient for the purposes for which alone it existed.—(Cheers.)
He was far from complaining of the Hon. gentleman (Mr.
Corbett) standing ; but he must say if the contest had
been between gentlemen of liberal opinions, it would have
presented a strange anomaly at this juncture of affairs.
He confessed he was one of those who did imagine that a
coalition had taken place between Mr. Pelham and Mr.
Heneage, and, as Mr. Pelham knew, he had only arrived
from the metropolis last night, it was only upon hearing the
speech of the Hon. Baronet who proposed him, that he was
undeceived. There was a strong public feeling on the sub-
ject, in which Mr. Pelham was implicated ; but now it was
publicly disavowed, in so authentic and particular a manner,
that Mr. Heneage's opposition to Sir William Ingilby was
not sanctioned by his Hon. Friend Mr. Pelham, this feeling
might amide. It was obvious that the desire to exclude
Sir William
,Ingilby chiefly arose from the circumstance that
lie was the real representative of the liberal and inde-
pendent party in the division of Lindsey.—(Loud cheers.)
That party, it would be found, was the strongest ;
and Mr. Pelham might perhaps not have perceived
that it had so gained ground as to leave the Tory party the
next in strength, and the party of which he (Mr. P.) was
the chief, the weakest. As to displacing Sir W. Ingilby,
it was absurd. Every account received from the country
showed a vast increase of strength, so as to render his tri-
umphant return absolutely certain.—(Cheers.) The Right
Honourable Gentleman concluded by proposing Sir Wm.
Ingilby, and retired amidst loud cheering.
Air. COLTMAN, of Hagnaby, seconded the nomination.
Sir ROST. SHEFFIELD said the last time he met them
upon an occasion similar to the present, was in the charac-
ter of a candidate for their suffrages ; he now solicited their
support for a gentleman who entertained the same princi-
ples as himself, and who would be not less assiduous in
guarding their interests, should it be their pleasure to re-
turn him. He concluded by proposing Mr. Corbett as a
candidate.
Mr. CHAPLIN had great pleasure in seconding the nomi-
nation. . .

His vote was his own, and he had a right to give it to whom
he pleased, and he promised him a vote ; and where was
the man who would say, " Sir William, you ought not to
do so ?"—( Hear, hear.) No man would,—(Cheers.) But
he was to go out. It was decided at Blankney—it was
settled at Elsham—(Laughter)—consultations had been
held elsewhere. How was it to be done ? First, by trying
a Whig—but they tried the Whig.—(Law,t'hter.) Then
by a Tory, who still kept up the contest ; but they would
soon settle his account. Was he to go out, because the
great orator of Lincoln—Bacchus upon a gin barrel—
travelled over the county, and prophesied the extinction of
the Knight of Lindsey ?—(Laughter.) His distinguished
friend, the great orator of Lincoln, gets on a gin barrel
and vends his liquors. What right had he to go about
and canvas for Mr. Heneage, against the man who
had so long represented them ?—(Hear, hear.) As
long as he confined himself to vending gin, there was no
harm, or peaceably exercising his mind to the publication of
the BroMesby Gazette; but he had no right to be tra-
ducing him (Sir W.) among his people, in canvassing for
the Member for the City of Lincoln. All these machina-
tions did not arise with his Hon. Friend and late Colleague,
but were performed by his agents and partisans ; but he
must be responsible for their acts when engaged in such
matters ; they must attach in some part to him. Of in-
trigues of such a kind he (Sir W.) could not be guilty.
Indeed, if he could be guilty of any thing of the kind,
where would his election be ? How could he stand before
the face of the people ? It was by the exertions of the
people he stood there ; and it was not in the power of all
the orators, publishers of newspapers, and gin-spinners in
the county to get him out.—(Laughter and cheers.) He
had done more good for the county, in the votes he had
given during the last two years, than all the Members for
the county had done before. He had taught the people to
know their own power ; and knowing it, they would be able
to maintain it.—(Cheers.) And by that great moral power
which he had created among the people, he was content to
stand or fall.—(lncreased cheers.) The spirit roused in the
county had produced success for the cause of liberty and in-
dependence, and he should again be retutned as the repre-
sentative of Lindsey. Sir William then produced a hand-
bill which had been issued against him, and asking who Sir
William was that he should come forward without a requi-
sition, and charging him with tramping about the country
like a common gipsy to get votes. " Behold this," said the
Hon. Baronet, " tramping over the county like a gipsy
He had served the county honourably and faithfully for
11 years. Would the farmers tell him, like as the Tories
told him, he was travelling over the county and notinvited
to come forward ? He would tell them that he had served
his constituents for eleven years, and, he again solicited them
to standup for him and themselves, to maintain their inde-
pendence, and again be honestly an I efficiently represented
in the Commons House of Parliament.—(Hear.) All they
wanted was to separate the real independent electors, that
his great northern neighbour might return one member and
Blankney the other. Thus was the SUMMUM totuni of the
business. But there was now created that beautiful feeling
of just excitement in the county that never again, whether
he lived or died, would the electors subject themselves to the
dictation of particular individuals.—(Cheers.) He felt
indebted to them for the kindness he had received on every
occasion, and as long as he found he possessed the good
wishes of the electors of Lindsey he would stick by them.
He would stand or fall by their independent voices. The
Hon. Baronet was loudly cheered when he concluded.
Mr. CORBETT rose and said, if he had not received the
requisition of a very large body of the electors, he should
not have bad the presumption to present himself before
them. It was true that their late representative, a man
who, during fourteen years, had done the business of the
county in Parliament, was entreated by the same body of
electors who invited him, to come forward ; but having
withdrawn after 14 years' service, \during a period of ex-
citement consequent on the passing of the Reform Bill,
into the enjoyment of the comforts of private life, he was
unwilling again to encounter the arduous duties of a British
senator. He was aware that their cause had fallen into
far feebler bands ; but if they entrusted to him their fran-
chises, he would watch over their interests to the best of
his ability. With respect to the present Ministers, it had
been said by the Right Honourable Gentleman, that con-
fidence should not be placed in them, because they had
been the invariable opponents of reform. He would ask
who reformed the criminal law? Sir Robert Peel. Who
repealed the Test and Corporation Acts, and granted Ca-
tholic emancipation ? The Government of the Duke of
Wellington—(Several voices in the crowd, " They were
forced to do it.") Mr. Pelham said he had no confidence
in the present Ministry, because they would not pursue
the line of conduct the late Ministry pursued. He trusted
they would not. The late Ministry turned out the Duke
of Wellington's Ministry on the question of the Civil List
—whether it should be considered in a committee of the
whole House, or up-stairs ; and when the late Ministry
came in, they voted the Civil List, and added 10,0001. to
it.—(Hear.) Mr: Pelham had also talked of a property-
tax ; that was a Tory measure, and it was through the in-
fluence of the Whigs that it was done away with. He
thought the Ministers should have a fair trial.—(" We
know them of old.') It was his firm opinion that no minis-
try could stand who did not act on the principles of Re-
form.—( Hear.) He did not say it as a mere mode of
catching a few votes ; but he thought the people wanted
practical reforms that would put money in their pockets.
Mr. Corbett touched upon several other questions, which we
have not room this week to report, and concluded amidst
the enthusiastic cheers of his party.
Mr. NORTIIIiOUSE claimed the right of replying to the
attack made upon him by Sir William Ingilby.—(Uproar,
groans, and hear, bear.) He was surprised at the attack.
It would have been only but courteous if Sir William had
let him know that he intended to make it.—(Uproar.)
He was accused of canvassing for Mr. Heneage ; the accu-
sation was false and groundless. He defied Sir William to
prove it. He knew, and had seen many hundreds of the
electors within the last few mouths, but had never can-
vassed one of them, for either Mr. Heneage, Mr. Pelham,
or Sir William Ingillay ; if lie had, let them now be men-
tioned.

1.1.11,./•••
Mr. PELHAM then rose, and said he appeared, for the
third time, to offer his services as One of their representa-
tives in Parliament. He had always advocated the same
principles—he had supported a Reform Ministry since a
Reform Ministry had governed this country ; and he had
done so from a conviction that their measures were for the
general good of the country.—(Cheers.) He thought
they would have carried—indeed he knew they would—
still greater measures of Reform ; and, therefore, he was
anxious that they should still have remained Ministers, and
that we should have been able to see many reforms carried
into effect—for certainly they had not yet, by a great deal,
achieved anything like the good that might have been ex-
pected from the Reform Bill.—( Cheers.) Some allusion
had been made as to what course he should take if he were
again returned ; he would say that if he did go, he would
not go with a determination of offering any factious opposi-
tion to any Administration whatever ; he did not look to
men—it was to measures he looked ; and although he could
not say he looked with any degree of confidence for reform
measures coming from such men as were now at the head of
affairs, at the same time, if they did bring forward any
measures that were calculated to do good to the country, he
wo.,;1:1 not refuse his support to those measures, merely be-
cause they ;:ere introduced by men in whom he had no con-
fidence. But did support them upon two or three
questions, it must not be
osidered that he was bound to
support the same men in all the TY.,"2,suies they might bring
forward.—(Hear, hear.) It would not right to offer any
factious opposition, but he should constitutietitzny watch
over their conduct.—(Cheers.) Some allusion had been
made to his voting upon the Malt Tax. He voted first in
favour of the repeal of that tax ; but the second time the
question was brought forward, when he found the Ministers
were not prepared with a substitute, and must have gone
out, he rescinded his vote, for the purpose of keeping in the
Administration, in whom he confessed he had great con-
fidence. His opinion was, that a well-regulated Property
Tax would be of much greater advantage to the country
than the Malt Tax.—(Loud cheers.) He hoped their
choice would fall upon him for one. He fortunately had
good health, and he hoped he should be able to attend to
his duties in Parliament as heretofore, and do his utmost to
look after their interests. Agricultural affairs would demand
his peculiar attention, and he should be thereby serving
them and himself, inasmuch as the stake he had in that in-
terest rendered him unlikely to do anything to its injury.—
(Cheers.) He concluded by observing, that as to the al-
leged coalition, he disclaimed it entirely, and, indeed, knew
nothing of Mr. Heneage being a candidate till he heard of
him canvassing at • Market Risin. The Hon. Gentleman
was very loudly cheered.
Sir WILLIAM INGILBY next came forward, and was re-
ceived with loud cheers. He said he should begin his short
address by returning his best thanks for the kindness he had
received in every part of the division in which he had been
able to pay his respects to the freeholders. He stood
backed by the people—(Hear)—he had done his duty to
the people, and they had told him so in all directions.—
(You have.) He would save himself from going any length
into his Parliamentary conduct. But he could not stand
there, and not glance a little at the aspect of things since he
had met with them on his circuit. His Hon. late little
Colleague, and Mr. Heneage, had been pitted against
him like two cocks in a pit. He did not charge either of
those gentlemen with having formed that alliance against
him which had been so manifest ; still he must say, that
there bad been some secret machinery at work to eject him
from his position.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Respecting
his political opinions, his opponents had charged him
with being a Radical. He understood the word, and
that it was meant as a word of reproach ; he adopted
the word, but discarded the reproach.—(Cheers.) He
had had great intercourse with the freeholders in his
canvas, and they knew what these radical sentiments
were. They were not the radical sentiments attributed
to them by the Tories, but they were the radical senti-
ments to support all the valuable institutions of the coun-
try against abuses, and not to pull down and destroy any-
thing.—(Cheers.) But he must glance a bit at this won-
derful opposition.—(Laughter.) He must see what Mr.
Chaplin was. Mr. Chaplin began by supporting a Whig.—
(Laughter.) Mr. Chaplin writes a letter. Wonderful !
(Renewed laughter.) He writes a letter to Mr. Bouche-
rett, and promises to give his vote to Mr. Heneage. Why
should he transfer his principles ? To Mr. Chaplin and
his friends he should say, a Whig was more noxious
than a Radical.—(Laughter.) But Mr. Chaplin, it ap-
peared, could first vote for a Whig ; he could then
tack about the ship, and come to a Tory.—(Laughter.)
They wanted to get him (Sir William) out. The elec-
tors told him they could not do it. No, 1) There
was nothing he could reflect upon, that told him he had
not steered the same straightforward line of conduct in
behalf of the people. He had never caballed with
either Whig or Tory—he had never made any alliance
but on the side of the people.—(Hear, hear.) He had
..lways proclaimed himself the people's servant—by the
eo le 1,, had always stood, and by the people
Pont
would
p nue to stain.
Cheers.) But although he had en-
tered into a coalition Mtn one, and stood independent of
any other candidate, be would ten honourable little
friend and late colleague that )49 Y• 7904 r him a vote.

Sir WILLIAM said he could get an affidavit from a man
at Spilsby, that Mr. Northhouse had canvassed him some
time ago.
Mr. NORTHHOUSE called upon Sir William to get such
affidavit, as the whole charge was false. Not that there was
any thing criminal in canvassing for a Liberal candidate,
but it so happened that he (Mr. Northhouse) had not can-
vassed a single human being for any body. He knew the
cause of this virulent attack upon him—it was because he
had honestly told Sir William that he could not go so far
as he did in his political opinions, vote by ballot, &c., and
he would tell him so still.—(Uproar.) Sir William had
long known that these were his opinions. He called for
fair play—he had not opposed Sir William, and he should
not now oppose him ; but he thought if Sir William's poli-
tical integrity stood no higher than his sense of gratitude,
he would not have much to boast of.—(Uproar.) He should
not have alluded to those matters, or to a letter which he
had in his pocket from Sir William, dated many months
ago, wherein Sir William, instead of abuse, was pleased to
address him as follows :
" Dear Orator—As I beg leave to consider you as a
more efficient friend to mankind, spite of that d-- pen,
than this gentleman"—(referring to a most estimable indi-
vidual)—I reply to this letter through you." It appeared,
therefore, that those delicate allusions to trade were not
always to injure him, and there were no indications of it
when Sir William called upon him at his own home, only
the other week, and told him that both had a right to their
own political opinions. No mention was then made, of an
intention to abuse him (Mr. N.) in this manner, without
notice and without foundation—unfairly, unjustly, and un-
gratefully.—(Great uproar.) He again challenged Sir
William to substantiate his charge of canvassing for Mr.
Heneage, or for anybody else, and retired amid great uproar.
No answer being given, and there being no other can-
didate, the Sheriff called for a show of hands ; the numbers
greatly preponderated in favour of Sir William Ingilby and
Mr. Pelham, who were declared duly elected, when Mr.
Corbett demanded a poll.
The polling commences on Monday.

The plan for converting Hertford House, Picca-
dilly, into chambers for gentlemen is to be abandoned.
MR. -BULWER'S " EUGENE ARAM," IN ONE
voL., PRICE 6s.—This beautiful romance, generally allowed
to be the chef de oeuvre of its author, is now published in Mr.
Bentley's " Standard Novels and Romances," complete in one
neat portable volume, for 6s. A new feature is given to this
revised edition by the addition of the fragment of a tragedy
on the same subject, written by Mr. Bulwer, the idea of which
he afterwards abandoned for the Romance. It is, moreover,
embellished by two engravings, from designs by Pickering,
depicting Aram on his trial, and the meeting of the murderers
by night in the cave. One great advantage possessed by the
" Standard Novels" results from the fact, that in almost all
cases the several works are complete in a single volume, and
can always be obtained separately, as the demand for this
cheapest collection of the best modern works of fiction has
been so constantly increasing as to induce the proprietor to
stereotype the whole work.

MILDNESS OF TILE SEASON.—Morayshire has
long been famous for the excellence of its climate and soil ;
And we observe a corroboration of the truth of this old saying
in the Elgin, CPuruu! of Friday. The Editor states—" We
have seen a rose-tree in full bloom in 4 girder in town. The
roses are as healthy and beautiful as if i; was mid-summer. In
the gardens in the neighbourhood there have been several
instances where a second crop of apples has been obtained,
and strawberries have been found fully formed." Even in our
Northern region similar appearances occur. In the garden at
Foyers, on the banks of Loch Ness, a mossrose tree is in full
blossom, and we learn from Caithness, that several gardens
there exhibit the same premature blossom and vegetation.—

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—The Reformers of the county of Glamorgan have
this day the satisfaction of informing you that two tried Re-
formers, Mr. Talbot and Mr. Dilwyn, have this day been una-
nimously elected the representatives for this county. If every
other constituency had obeyed the call of King William the
Reformer, the result would have been four Reformers against
one Tory, viz.,
C. R. M. Talbot—(Reformer) 1
L. W. Dilwyn—Ditto
J. H. Vivian—Ditto .. 1

NORWICH, JAN. 16.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—We are in danger of losing two Members for the two
divisions of Norfolk by split votes. Lest the same mishap
occur in many other districts pray insert in a marked manner
the following
CAUTION TO REFORMERS—EFFECT OF
SPLITTING VOTES.

Few persons, perhaps are aware that by splitting their votes
they reject the candidate whom they prefer It may be thus
shown : _ _

Suppose in a district there are 2,300 Reformers, and 2,000
Tories, and that there are two candidates on the Reform in-
terest, and one Tory, it is clear that if all the Reformers vote
for the two Reform candidates, they must come in by a majo-
rity of 300. Now let us imagine the folio ving splitting :-
1,200 Reformers, friends of A, first Reform candidate, vote
for him, and 1,100 of them vote for B, the second ; but A, not
being personally liked by all the remaining 1,100 Reformers,
450 of them vote for B and C (the Tory), remaining 650 for
B and A.

Let us suppose that 450 of the Tories vote for C and A,
the rest plumping for C, and that 100 of A's friends split for
the Tory, the poll will stand thus
For A—His friends l2OO
Of B's friends
Of Tories 450
2300
For B—His friends
Of A's friends
—2200
For C—His friends
Split votes from B
Ditto from A
-2550

It is plain that C (the Tory) would be at the head of the
poll, the Reformer least approved by his party next, and that
B, the best approved, would be thrown out by the very persons
whose objection to A induced them to split votes with the Tory.
I am, Sir, &c.
SCRUTATOR.
