The nomination for this borough took place in the
Guildhall on Friday. The candidates were four in num-
ber :—Dr. Michell, one of the late members; Mr. Wyld,
who represented the borough previous to 1852 ; the
Hon. Captain Vivian, and Mr. J. Harvey Lewis.
Dr. MICHELL said he was a Liberal, and an indepen-
dent supporter of Lord Palmerston's Government, with
which he had voted in the division on the China gees-
tion. He referred to his constant attendance at the
House, having voted since returned in 1852 in 720 divi-
sions. He was in favour of a more equitable adjustment of
the income tax; was opposed to the grant to Maynootb,
and to the voting of public money for the religious
teaching of any particular sect, or for any local improve-
ment ; would vote for the ballot carried out in the same
way as in America, France, or Bslgium, and was a
strenuous advocate of administrative reform.
Mr. WILD, although he deprecated the great powers
now vested in our commanders abroad, was a supporter
of Lord Palmerston. He opposed the application of
the State money to any particular sect ; was in favour
of administrative reform, of vote by ballot, and of a sys-
tem of education based on the Scriptures—voluntary as
far as possible, but carried out where necessary by the
State.

Captain VIVIAN was also an Administrative Reformer
and a Liberal. He was a strenuous supporter of Lord
Palmerston's Government, and was stroowly opposed in
feeling to Mr. Gladstone and the Tractarian party. He
was in favour of the application of public money to those
great improvements essential to the health of the poorer
classes.

Mr. Lawns was also strongly in favour of Lord Pal-
merston, not only for his foreign policy, but his Protee-
tent tendencies, which had been well indicated by his
late appointment of bishops. He wag a warm advocate
of the ballot, and of national education ; was opposed to
the Maynooth grant or any other of the kind, and shout
support a more equitable adjustment of the income tax
The show of bands was deolared to be in favour of Mr
Lewis and Mr. Wyld. A poll was demanded on behal
of the other candidates.

much became a man as moderation in his triumph. He
was, in the first plac,., bound to return his sincere and
heartfelt thanks to those freemen and electors who, un-
invited, and also unflattered by him, had placed him in
the proud position which he then occupied, and then,
perhaps, he might be allowed to address a few words to
his late opponents, and that was to say that for the can-
didates who had been opposed to him he bad long felt
nothing but respect, and, in one instance, friendship.
He hoped that during the contest he had made no
enemies. If he had it would be odd, for if it was the
part of Joe Miller to raise a smile the arrows that shot
from that bow had no barb. (Hear, and laughter.)
Those gentlemen who had been so constant from first to
last in opposing him—he meant the melodious gentle.
men below—(a laugh) —would find that he had an ear to
listen even to their complaints, and a heart not deaf to
any claim that might be made, and as long as he pos-
sessed the energy and spirit he at present did possess he
should never tire in speaking of their cause.
Sir W. RUSSELL also returned thanks.

A vote of thanks to the Mayor, moved and seconded
by the unsuccessful candidates, was carried by acclama-
tion, and, his worship having acknowledged the oomph-
ment, the proceedings terminated.
