past nine o'clock. They were dressed in full court dresses, and
were preceded and followed by a great number of orange banners,
bearing the inscriptions—J! Milton and Marshall," " Saddleworth
Freeholders," " No Church Popery," "Marshall and Manufac-
turee," " tree Trade and Cheap Bread," " Economy," " Reform,"
" Bill of Rights,' " Milton and Magna Charts," " Liberty of
Conscience," &c. Several bands of music, and an immense con-
course of;partisans, accompanied the yellow candidates.
*Montague Wilson, Esq. and the Hon. William Duncombe, ar-
rived shortly after. Their apnea= was much more splendid
than that of their opponents ; and they were preceded by three
trumpeters, in blue silk jackets, together with a great many splen- I
did banners of blue silk, inscribed with letters of gold—" Wilson.
and Duncombe for ever, hum !" " DuncombLand the Protes-
tant cause," " King, Constitution, and People,'" " No Popery,"
"Nilson and the Protestant Cause," " The Protestant Ascend-;
ancy," &c., several bands of music, and a very large number of
freeholders, which gave the blues the decided majority in the
yard. The respective candidates were cheered with the utmost
enthusiasm by their friends.
At twenty minutes before eleven o'clock the county clerk (Mr.
G. Bindsley, jun.), having made the usual proclimation, the
Act against bribery and corruption Willi read by the county clerk.
Sir F. L. Woon said, that he heartily concurred in the recom-
mendation of the High Sheriff to be brief, and he owed it to the
good humour Which he saw in that large multitude, not to de-
tain them long. He concluded by recommending to them Lord
0. STRICKLAND,_ Esq. seconded the nomination of the Noble
Lord. He regretted that it was not sooner known that there
would be no contest, that the thousands of freeholders who were
assembled, might not have been called from their distant homes,
but the dame was kindled, and the enthusiasm raised ; and that
flame would not be extinguished because it was the flame of liberty.
--.:(Cheers.)
Sir J. L. KAYE said, the decided marks of favour shown to
Mr. Duncombe on the day of nomination, did not leave a doubt
on his mind of the most complete success on this occasion. He
begged leave to propose the lion. Wm. Duncombe, as one of their
representatiVes for the county of York.—(Lond'cheere.)
MARK zi AM, Esq. briefly seconded the nomination of Mr.
Duncombe.

H. 'Lap. Esq, Mor of Leeds, said, he had again the honour
to propose to them Richard Fountayne Wilson, Esq. as a fit
and proper representative. -(Loud cheera.)—Mr. Wilson had,
in private life, only been anxious to find occasion of advantaging
his fellow creatures.—(Cheers.)—Mr. Hall concluded with re-
commending Mr. Wilson as a fit and:proper object of their choice.
—(Cheers.)
FilLn, Esq. very briefly seconded the nomination.
Sir G. COYLEY, Bart. proposed Mr. Marshall.. The worthy
Baronet was interrupted throughout the whole of his speech ; so
mush so, that we could scarcely hear two sentences in connection.
T. WALKER, Esq. merely said he bad great pleasure in se-
conding the nomination of Mr. Marshall.
Lord MILTON then came forward, but it was a long time be-
sore he could obtain a hearing ; in fact, he could not obtain the
attention of the Meeting till Mr. buncombe and Mr.Wilspn ap-
pealed to them in his behalf, and even 'then he was listened to
with great impatience, and the High Sheriff was frequently corn-
palled to use his influence, and to beg a hearing for " my Lord
Milton." His Lordship said be stood liefore, them for the fifth
time, on the most solemn occasion on which British citizen! could
be called together, and once more to offer them his services as their
representative in Parliament. He did not come there to excite
any angry feeling; and he would appeal to his two Honourable
competitors, and to the Honourable Gentleman who had now
withdrawn himself from before them, :to say whether between
them there had ever passed one word symptomatic of unpleasant
feeling.—(Hear !)—lt might have been their respective duties to
discuss the opinions which they severally entertained, but it bail
ever been his maxim to do justice to the motives of others, al-
though it might have been hiamisfortune to think that, by the
misdirection of their reasoning, they might have come to erroneous
aoucluiione:ll6 did not intend to discuss:any of those questions which
were. calculated to excite unpleasant feelings in the minds of any ;
lie should merely express his opinion, that the energies of this great
people could not be properly called into action, till complete free-
doni was given both to opinion and to industry. He proceeded
to state, that he thought, if further measures of concession were
adopted, those gentlemen who now apprehended such bad, conse-
quences from them would look back with astonishment at the
feeling how excited.—(Cheers.)—He thought the apprehensions
now excited were but a dark cloud of a simmer day, and when
it had passed away, they would repose under the serene azure of
autumn.—(Hear !)—He also expatiated on the vast importance,
of the county, including as it did all the various feelings and opiy
Mons of the kingdom, which rendered Its rept esantative MO,
particularly the representative of the whole empire, whose duty
it was to judge every measure with .reference to the interest of
the kingdom at large, and not with regard to any local prejudices
or peculiar feelings.—{Ws regret that our time will not allow us
to give a fuller report of the Noble Lord's speech.]
Mr. btiricoMix then presented himself, and was received with
. .

most enthusiastic cheers. Atiirsfthere appeared a disposition on
the part of the Whigs not to hear but that soon subsided,
and he was listened to with much attention. With regard to the
completion of thie election, he bad no hesitation in saying, that
if there bad been any feeling of asperity centered in the breast of
any man, hewn not that indiridual,--thei be would say upon his
honour, and he trusted he should'not feel at ill inclined to disturb
the harmony which be was most anxious to witness, and which
he rejoiced to witness that day. He was perfectly sensible that it
war not for any merits of his own that be was called forth to • re-
present the county, but because the sentiments be professed on the
Catholic question were entertained by a large portion of the county.
_(Loud cheers.)—Other persons, of more mature judgment,
might have been found to represent them—(No)—but he pledged
himself, if elected, to exert himself to discharge his duties to the
hest of his judgment. He returned the freeholders hie most sin-
cere thanks for the kindness and attention with which he had been
received, and could only say, if he had the honour to be returned
one of the representatives, it would be the pride of his life.
Mr. Wlttox spoke very briefly.
Mr. MARSHALL referred to his former address fors statement
of his opinions.
No other Candidate appearing, the Sheriff declared the
choice of the County to have fallen upon the four gentlemen
proposed.
Lord Mitaos and Mr. Wet.soli briefly returned thanki.
The return was then read by the County Clerk, and thanLe
were voted to the High Sheriff.
The chairing of the Candidates then commenced, and the city
was in a complete bustle the whole of the day.

'fl following is a specimen of the squibs thrown about on

Blue Colt, Duncombe, by Tread-mill.—Hatter.
Fine sport is expected, most of the hones having been regular-
ly sweeted, 'particularly Dar:combs. and Wilson. •
Milton is a tried good horse (pedigree unexceptionable), is no
bolter, and runs stout.
Marshall is a dark horse, very promising, and likely to become
a great favourite before starting.
Bethel!, tf►nust, a 9/ell-bred colt, is apt to bolt when brought
to the post.
Wilson looks out of condition, is very sough in his coat, and
his mute nogg d•
Duni:omb* is not expected to run a good race, having been ill-
trained.
