The norainati ,n for this bore- ut.,h took place yes-

—the Shetitf, Mr. Felkin, presiding.
Mr. NEWMAN (a magistrate) proposed Mr. John
Walt- r, and Mr. HADDON (also a magistrate) se-
conded th 4 nomination.

MUNDELLA seconded the nomination.

Mr. S. BEAN then proposed Mr. Ernest Jones,
and Mr. W: S. MOTT seconded the nominaiiOn.
Mr. WALTER *as the first to address the electors.
He condemned the conduct of the persons who had
combined for the purpose of defea' ing Lord Pal-
merston on the Chinese question. He was satisfied
.Lord Ealmeraton had acted honestly. and ftirlyin
1 the matter, and deserved the csatfiience and sup-
port of the people. He then at some length justified
the course his lordship had pursuod, and his own

Mr. GRENFELL, W o was most enthusiastically
received, brefly Fail, CA: during the five years in
which tie elk,c o. s b ,d reposed clnfidence in him
his votes be,p k his political career. He was not
for half-.lnd-,alf nie :sures ; lre kid of ver forfeited
any—he was going -to say pledges, but he never
'ldd any forcai n hirn ;he had never done any-
thing different from whet he originally profeserl.
He was, as he ever ha 1 be n, the ady:,catr, of pro-
gressive n.form ; was favourable to an enlirgement
of the suffrag ; and, a career of mail v. pats,
was never but once al sent frit]] h's post. w' len any,
measure of that character was before the h •

Mr. RICARDO, who w.,s a'so warmly r, ceiv. .d,
said that if ad.ireqt,s went for anything, rhea his
opp ment was an out and-out Lib -nil ; but ho
thought it more from his ante !edents, that
he would be a supporter of Lord Derby. The pre-
sent opinion of ine Government was the op;ni._,n I_4*
the country—he himself supported it. it was
Liberal, and this borough, by the return of its tried
Liberal members, would give en additional support
to that Government.

Mr. VANSITTART then came forward, and was
received with tremendous cheering. He said he
was sorry that his opponents, in the attlcks they
had made upon him, had not allowed the dealt to
rest. He could excu.e them for their taunts about
his inexperience in these matters, but 16 days'
canvass had taught him much' in electioneering
matters ; 'and in knowledge to render him an effi-
cient representative of this borough he was not
wanting. He had been a soldier, and for years a
magistrate, holding high official appointments.
He was endeared to the borough and its interests
as a resident. He had been taunted about Lord
Derby and Mr. Disraeli, but be did not even know
those gentlemen, and surely any act of his brother's
ought not to attach to bim when he was not evefi

in this country to know about it. He thought tly.
Chiliese war ought to be vigorously pushed until
the British flag was fixed at Canton, and all ihe
ports made free. If he went into the hou.e he
should support the Church, and voie for all liberal
and progressive meamirei ; should check Govern-
ment expenditure, vote for the extinction of the

income tax, prOmqte tha interests of the Working
classes by the spread of education and emigfaion,
and shoull always vote, independently of urea or
party, for liberal measwes.
A show of han,ls being taken, the choke was de-

Glared to have falleu upon Mr. Grenfell aT d Mr
Vansittail-, upon which a poll was deuiauded.
