The nomination for the borough of Hastings will take place
on Thursday, and the polling on Friday. On Friday last
the Liberal candidate, Mr. Moore, addressed a numerous
meeting of the electors, Benjamin Smith, Esq., M.P.,
in the chair. On Saturday Mr. Moore addressed the far-
mers in the market-room. He was accompanied by Mr.
.Smith, M.P., Mr. Elphinstone, M.P., Mr. Brotherton, jun.,
and Mr. Evans. Mr. Moore is making great progress in the
good opinion of the electors. The Tories have not dared to
hold one public meeting, and therefore Mr. Brisco's feelings
onmany points of political interest are totally unknown to
the great body of the electors.
