THE GENERAL ELECTION.

NOMINATIONS THIS DAY.

LAMBETH.

The nomination took place this morning at the Tri-
angle, Kennington-Park, where a commodious hustings,
with every convenience for the press, had been erected
by order of H. Onslow, Esq., the returning officer.
The attendance at the commencement of the proceedings
was very small, considering the severity of the contest.
The candidates arrived shortly before 10 o'clock. Mr.
ilkinson arrived first, and was faintly cheered. He
was followed by Mr. Williams, who was loudly cheered.
A few minutes after these gentlemen and their friends
had take❑ their places on the hustings a long train of
carriages was seen to leave the Horns, at Kennington,
and almost immediately the " man of the people,"
the millionnaire, came dashing along in an open
carriage and pair, with postilion in livery, followed
by two carriages containing ladies, friends of the
honourable gentleman, and these followed by others
containing his friends and supporters. His appear-
ance was hailed with loud cheers, which was re-
peated on his appearing in front of the Lustiogs. After
the proceedings had commenced the assemblage of per-
sons greatly increased. There was the usual amount of
shouting and singing, the favourite being a parody on
" Villikins and his Dinah," in which frequent allusion
was made to Roupell's " siliver and gold." Some amuse-
ment was created by the eathibition of a placard with the
words " Wiscount Villiatns for Lambeth," in conspicu-
ous characters, in allusion to the hon. gentleman's state-
ment a few days since that he had withstood all the
seductions of the Government to become a Ministerial
supporter—evaa to the refusal of a title. During the
delivery of Mr. Williams's speech a man on horseback,
grotesquely dressed, and covered all over with Roupell's
bills, followed by another man on horseback, repeatedly
rode round the triangle, distracting the attention of the
crowd, and interrupting the delivery of the hon. gentle-
man's addrees, which caused him to exclaim rather
pettishly, "Don't pay attention to that mountebank."
The proceedings, on the whole, were very creditably
conducted for an election.

The usual preliminaries having been gone through,
Mr. ONSLOW (the Returning Officer) addressed the
electors on the importance of the duty they had to per-
form, and called on them to give every speaker a patent
and impartial hearing.

Mr. B. ELLINGTON, in proposing Mr. Williams, said
that it was the duty of the electors to select a man to
represent the views of the majority in the House of Com-
mons on great and imperial questions, and who was
ready at the same time to give every attention to local
matters. Mr. Williams was well known to them as a
tried man, and during the time he had been in Parlia•
wont he had fearlessly done his duty. He had also at-
tended to all local matters, which was of as great im-
portance to them as imperial questions. A fter referring
to Mr. Williams as the auditor of the public accounts,
and one who, by resisting extravagance, was worthy of
their support, he concluded by inoving Mr. Williams as
a fit and proper person to represent them in Parliament.
Mr. SILVESTER seconded the motion, and in doing ff°
he alluded to the sarcastic remarks of the Timcs on
WM:::
Williams, in which he had been daubed
