HUNTINGDONSHIRE.

There will be no opposition to the late representatives of
Huntingdonshire, namely, Lord Mandeville and Mr. Roper ;
the Tories finding that any candidate whom they could bring
forward would be most signally defeated.

KENT (WESTERN DIVISION).
No doubt exists as to the success of Messrs. Hodges and

LEEDS.-NOAIINA TION.

MondJV being the day appointed by the Mayor for holding
the elect a for this borough, both parties mustered in great
le
force upon ied extensive piece of tvaste ground within the
borough.
,husiness having been gone through, Jou;
The preliminary
Gorr, Esq. proposen!
the Right Hon. Sir John Beckett.
IVIr. Alderman Amer: SON seconded the nomination.
JAMES GARTH Meesninte Esq. nominated Edward Baines,
Esq., and THOMAS BEN YON'? .Esq. supported the nomination.
M JAMES BROOK proposed Colonel Tempest of Tong-halt,
and Mr. W. WATSON seconded the nomination.
H. H. STANSFELD, Esq. came forward, and was received
with loud cheers. The gentleman Fl= I have the honour
to propose is William Brougham, E5q;.....e.( Loud cheers.)
Sir JOHN BECKETT declared his detern:dnation to support
the Constitution in Church and State; and, he thought (to
use an indecorous expression,) to separate the, Church from
the State would be like separating the Siarrie..'n twins.—
( Laughter.) It would be fatal to both. Sir Johei said he
would have a commission appointed to investigate% the ap-
pointment of poor laws in Ireland ; and he concluded.by ex-
pressing a clear knowledge of the manufactures and trade of
Leeds, Sir John retired amidst great cheering.
Colonel TEMPEST then presented himself, and was received
with cheers by the Blues. The Colonel, in order to save the
time and trouble of explaining his political principles, referred
the electors to Sir Robert reel's address to the electors of
Tamworth, and which he adopted as his own. He acknow-
ledged himself a friend to the Church, and extolled, in very
high terms, Conservative principles.
EDWARD BAINES, Esq., then presented himself, and was
received with loud and repeated cheering, waving of hats- and
clapping of hands. After the applause had subsided, he ad-
dressed the meeting at considerable length. " I told you
gentlemen, when I went to parliament, that I would not uni-
formly vote with Ministers. I have not uniformly voted with
them—( Hear, hear.) When they were right, I supported
them ; when they were wrong, according to my view, I op-
posed them. I will now tell you another thing : if I have
again the honour to be placed in that situation, I will not uni-
formly vote against the Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert
Peel. If they bring forward a good measure, it shall haveeny
support ; whenever they bring forward a bad one, they shall
have my decided opposition—( Cheers.) Gentlemen, do not
suppose that I think there is no difference between the late
Ministry and the Ministry now in power—(No, no.) -,There
is as much difference as between gold and brass--(cheers and
laughter.) The one came into power to support the princi-
pies of Reform ; the other came into power to check these
prieeiples—(" No, no," from the Blues.) The one Came into
power to uphold the authority of the House of Commons ;
the other, to bear down the House of Commons by the House
of Lords—(" No, no," mid hisses, from the Blues, followed
by great cheering from, the Orange party.) Gentlemen, the
one came into power to save the public money ; the other has
come into power to lavish it away—( Cheers, and ", No, no,"
from the Blues.) The late Administration did more in four
years to improve and benefit the country, than.the Tory Ad-
ministration, which had preceded them, had done in seventy
years—( Cheers.) And I do here, before this assembly, chal-
lenge any advocate of the Tory Administration to the proof
or disproof of this fact."—( Applause.) Mr. Baines concluded
amidst three rounds of applause, wving.of hats, aed.clapping
of hands.
H. H. STANSPELD, Esq., the proposer of Mr. Brougham,

LOU claimed to speak in the stead of that Hon. Gentleman ;
•. but the Blue party were so elamoro.lts against the claim, that
be thought it, on the whole, rd it was of little consequence,
better to yield.
The scene now. Ir.,came highly interesting ; both parties
spread their fore' s out to the best advantage, and the great
superiority of the Reformers became more striking. The
Mayor first called for a show of hands in behalf of Sir John
Beckett—this was responded to by a very imposing display.
" E'er Mr. Baines" was then announced, and the effect of the
ktplay of the Blues was much diminished by the wonderful
tight which presented itself. The Reformers stretched as far
as further back from the hustings than the Blues, while they
were net confined by rails, so that they spread towards the left
in mach more extensive ranks than their opponents. There
could be no doubt, and reiterated shouts burst from all parts
of their body as they perceived their victory; this was suc-
ceeded by clapping of hands, waving of hats, &c. The show
for Colonel Tempest seemed nearly as large as for Sir John
Beckett, his supporters being formed wholly in their ranks.
The name of " Mr. William Brougham" produced a display
equal to that of Mr. Baines. His Worship then said---" Gen-
tlemen, I declare the show of hands to be in favour of Mr.
Baines and Mr. Brougham." A tremendous and long-con-
tinued burst of applause followed this declaration.
During the rejoicings a poll was demanded for Sir J.
Beckett and Colonel Tempest, which the Mayor granted, to
commence at nine o'clock on Wednesday morning.
Yesterday at one o'clock a deputation from the electors of
Leeds arrived at the London Hotel, Albemarle-street, having
performed that distance in the short space of seventeen hours,
to solicit Mr. William Brougham to become one of their re-
presentatives, as the show of hands, on Monday last, was con-
siderably in his favour.

LICHFIELD.—NOMINATION.
JAN. 5.---The usual ceremony of opening the business hav-
ing been gone into, Dr. Harwood proposed Sir George Anson.
T. B. Chinn, Esq., seconded the nomination. The Rev.
Thomas Levett proposed Sir Edward Scott, the Reverend
Chancellor Law seconded the nomination. Thomas Stripling,
Esq., proposed Mr. Finch, Charles Simpson, Esq., seconded
the nomination.

The poll is fixed by the Sheriff to take place on Wednesday
and Thursday next.

LINCOLN. —NOMINATION.
Mom )Av.—This day the nomination took place.
C. Beaty, Esq., M.D., proposed Edward Lytton Bulwcr,
and W. Rudyard, Esq., seconded the nomination.
The, Very Reverend the Dean of Windsor (Dr. Gordon),
proposed Colonel Sibthorp ; and Dr. Cookson seconded the
Domination.

Alderman Wrigglesworth proposed Captain Phipps, upon
sound Reform principles; and Sutton Harvey, Esq., seconded
the nomination.

The two reforming candidates then addressed the electors ;
and the gallant Colonel attempted to speak, but could not ob-
tain a hearing. The show of hands was in favour of Mr. Bul-
wer and Captain Phipps. The poll takes place to-morrow.

MAIDSTONE.
TUESDAY.—The polling commenced- this morning. The
Tories were (Ile earliest in the field, and as much as 501. was
offered by them for a single plumper for Mr. Lewis, their can-
didate. about two o'clock, the poll was closed by consent.
of all parties. The numbers then were—
Mr. Lewis
Mr. Roberts
Mr. Barnett (the time he resigned) 333
Alderman Lucas
Mr. Hildvard
The MAYOR then declared that Messrs. Lewis and Robarts
Were elected.

Perhaps a more infamous election never took place under
ihe domination of rotten boroughs. The town of Maidstone,
containing sixteen thousand inhabitants, had been • treache-
rously- and infamously sold by the venality of about three
hundred voters. Corporation Reform is the only cure (always
excepting the ballot) for this horrid state of things.
The election must have cost Mr. Lewis upwards of ten
thousand pounds.

MONMO UTH.
JAN. s.—The nomination day for the boroughs of Newport,
Usk, and Monmouth, is Friday next, and the polling will com-
mence on Monday. The struggle will be obstinate in the
extreme.

candidates were Mr. Miller and Sir H. Willourrhby, the late
=embers, and Mr. Edmund Peel, of Bonehill, near Tam-
worth, brother of the Premier.

Peel and Miller are returned ; the former was 200 a-head
Willoughby had left.

PLYMOUTH.
JAN. 4.—The nomination for this borough takes place to-
morrow. Tht candidates are Messrs. Collier and Ben es (the
late members), who are stanch Reformers, and Sir George
Cockburn, the nominee of the Government and the Corpora-
: tion. The defeat of the Tories is most certain.
