HASTINGS.-FRIDAY EVENING

This borough has been very unexpectedly thrown into
the excitement and turmoil of a contest. A section of the
Liberal party, who were dissatisfied withthe existing nulli-
fied state of representation, have been seeking another can-
didate, but they were Unsuccessfert till last evening,: when
they prevailed upon Lord Harry Vane, formerly the mem-
ber for South Durham,-now a resident at the noted Battle
Abbey, and {who only returned that day, to stand in the
Liberal interest. Accordingly, just previous to the com-
mencement of the proceedings at the hustings;the address
of the nobledard was issued, and he was also proposed as
well as the late members, Messrs. North and no.berabn, as
a t a ididate. Conservatives then brought forward ano the
candidate, NV: Lucas-Shadwell, Esq., a gentleman residing
in the neighbourhood. The show of hands was in favour
of Mr. North and Lord Vane, and a poll was demanded in
favour of the Conservative candidates. The contest will be
a very sharp and exciting one.
