great principles of civil and religious liberty,
for all classes without distinction of creed,
denomination, or country. (Hear, hear.) He
comph►ined that the published list of Mr. Nills'
central committee included many gentiemen,friends
and supporters of his own, whose names had been
obtained by misrepresentations of the grossest kind,
and concluded by calling upon them, as citizens in-
trusted with a high and noble duty, to prove that
they appreciated the unbought services of a public
man who, on a former occasion, did his duty fear-
lessly, honestly, and according to his conscience.
(Cheers.)
In reply to questions Mr. Cox stated that ho was
for a reform of the Corporation of Loudon, that he
was iu favour of the appointment of chaplains to

between two evils, he would vote for the opening of

public institutions on Sundays.
A resolution declaring Mr. Cox to be a fit and

NOTTINGHAM.
NOTTINGHAM, Monday Evening.
It has not yet positively transpired whether Mr.
Bromley will really offer himself. He left hero on
Saturday night, but it is understood he will be
again in Nottingham during the week. Should he
not tome forward the Conservatives will experience
considerable difficulty in bringing forward a candi-
date. The agents and friends of Sir R. Clifton are
pursuing an active canvass in his behalf, and they
find many supporters, so that it is by no means im-
probable that he will prove a tough antagonist, not,
indeed, that his success over the Earl of Lincoln is
calculated upon by the noble lord's supporters; but
Sir Robert is determined to work hard, and use
every endeavour to carry his election, and it will
require proportionate energy on the part of Lord
Lincoln's friends to bring their candidate to the
head of the poll. The more ardent and thorough-
going Liberals of the town are hardly satisfied with
the politics of the noble earl ; indeed, they would
have preferred Mr,Cheetham. Nevertheless, if there
be no other opponent besides Sir R. Clifton, many of
that party will vote for Lord LineOln. His lordship
will also get the support of the moderate Liberals
and many of the Conservatives. The friends of his
father, the Duke of Newcastle, will also rally round.
the son. There is one disadvantage, however,—he
cannot come among the electors on mount of in-
disposition, and this his opponent is making the
most of, and, indeed, obtaining many promises of
support in consequence of his being on the spot.
However, Lord Lincoln is to be at his post instantly
his medical adviser deems it safe. From present ap-
pearances the election promises to be a very excit-
ing one. Sir Robert is to address the electors of
Byron Ward to-night. Ho is instituting a personal
canvass. Some of the leading Conservatives had a
meeting this afternoon for the purpose of consult-
ing about a candidate more in accordance with their
views than the Earl of Lincoln, when a gentleman
was named connected with our local manufactures.
6 P. M.

Mr. Wm. Tidmas, formerly a surgeon, but now a
large lace manufacturer, of Carrington, near Not-
tingham, is mentioned as the Conservative fixed on
at the meeting this afternoon.
