DUDLEY ELECTION.—At a MEETING of
influential MEMBERS of the Borough of DUDLEY, held
at the Old Town llsll this day,
The Mayor, JOHN RkITAUD, Esq., in the Chair,
the following letter from Sir Stafford Northcote, the late member
for Dudley, to Wm. Haden, Esq., was read:—
Pyner's' Exeter, March 22, 1857. „
My dear Sir—As you have expressed to me your strong opinion
that my late constituents at Dudley have a right to a further ex-
planation of the circumstances of my retirement from the represen-
tation of that borough than I have given in my published address,
and as you state that an Impression prevails among them that Lord
• Ward's influence was not used to bring me to the resolution of quit-
_ ting It, I cannot object to tell you that at the time I decided upon
offering myself as a candidate for Norih Devon I w s aware that
Lord Ward objected to the vote I had given on the China question,
that he was no longer able to offer me the same support as he had
previously done at Dudley, and that he hoped I should not offer
myself there again, as he understood that my vote was as unpalat-
, • able to the constituency as to himself. It is due to Lord Ward to
add that at the time he communicated with me on this subject, he
knew that it was 'probable I stioutel bo ~eked to stand for North
Devon in the event of avacancy occurring.
Yours very faithfully,
STAFFORD H. NORTIICOTE.

W. 'Haden, Esq.

The following extract of a letter from Sir Stafford Northcote to
William Itobi”son, Esq., was also read, in which, alluding to the
electors of Dudley, he states—" I do not wish to be thought un •
grateful for all their kindness. Had my choice been free I never
should have quitted them."
It was then moved by W. HADEN, Esq. ; seconded by W. Roam-
Cox, Esq and resolved, with a very few dissentients:
That this meeting, from the information received yesterday after-
noon, expressed its regret at the conduct of Lord Ward towards our
late respected member, Fir Stafford H. Northcote.
lb was then moved by Isaac BADGER, Esq., and seconded by Jons
BADDARD, Esq :
That in consequence of the election taking place on Saturday
next, this meeting feels no other means of expressing its feeling, or
of asserting its independence, than by giving its support to Mr. H.
B. Sheridan.
This resolution was also carried amid great applame.
By ordar of Mr. Sheridan's Committee.
