he disowned, said the Noble Lord had challenged him to
an exposition of the principles of the present
Govern-
ment, which, he said, were undefined and net to be un-
derstood. He was pledged to support. Sir It. Peel in the
principles of Conservatism, which he held, and he called
upon all those -who professed the same prineiples to sun-
port him. He was asked what he would do about the
Corn-laws? if Sir R. Peel should brine. forward the sub-
ject of the repeal of those laws, weld(' he support it? the
reply was, that if they should require any further alter*.
tion, he was ready to support it, and Goa forbid that anis
man should pretend to the duties of a statesman wh.o
would not attend to the progressive wants of the people.
Regarding the Income-tax, he felt confident none dis-
liked it more than himself, and no person with an income
of 1501. a year liked the tax. But it was flirced upon
Sir Robert Peel by the bankrupt state of the Exchequer.
A great deal had been said about the distresses and suf-
ferings of the poor; but who had astended to these
complaints, and adopted measures fir their allevietion ?
He said it, and he said it confidently, that no Minister

The tariff had affected no loss than 750 different articles
of commerce, and was viewed with alarm by the different
conflicting parties. But did Sir R. Peel truckle to Piro
cumstances as the late Government had dime On the
contrary, notwithstanding the threat from some or his
party, of the withdrawal of their support, he Wil9 Hat
frightened from his ditty, bat went steadily MS, inilnetteed
by none. Mr. Hoperesinued-h is seat, after a king address.
GEORGE THOMPSON, Esq., was received with the
greatest enthusiasm by the Liberals, and cries or
‘. Chartist" by the Tories. He said, in his observation*
he would avoid all referenee to topics of a personal and
local nature, calculated to stir up feelingi which he de.,
sifed to see buried in oblivion. With great pleasure he
heard his opponents disclaim participation in any corrupt
practices. He gave them credit for sincerity in making
the declaration. Ile regretted that topics had been in-
troduced that day which had stirred up angry feelings,
He had not been invited :here having the prospect held
out to him that success was certain, and therefore he
could not be deceived. He came forward in order that
the electors should have in his person an opportunity of
making a distinct and intelligible choice between gentle-
men of one opinion, and gentlemen of another, and if be
were defeated, and no improper means were used to pro-
cure a majority against him, he should retire from the
town under the influence of no disappointed feelings.—
' (Cheers.) The lisinourable Gentleman then at great
length replied to the remarks of Mr. Hope, with respect
to the conduct of the Government. Sir Robert -peels,
courage in risking the loss of support on the tariff and
the Income-tax had been much spoken of, but the fact
was ,that while the Right Honourable Baronet was en-
deavouring to reconcile the opposition to the Income-
tax, by promising them a reduction of a shilling in the
pound in the price of provisions, he was telling his own
supporters that they had nothing to fear from the tariff,
for he had ascertained that no importations of cattle in

must fall on the poor. The rich would reduce their es-
tablishments, or, as in this town, the rents of the cottages
of the poor would be raised. It Was nothing hut a etrit-
promise, by which the monopolists retained their insmo-
polies, by consenting to the Income- tax. Mr. Thump
son then referred to the principles on which he claimed
their support—his advocacy of
om of
trade—of the total repeal of the Corn-laws—end of the
extension of the suffrage to the working elasses. Oa
concluding his address, Mr. Thompson 1% as
loudly
cheered.

A show of hands was then taken. There was a largo
majority in favour of Lord Nugent and Mr. Thonipse-a,
who were declared elected.

A poll was demanded on behalf of Messrs. Mildmay
and Hopei which took place yesterday morning.

LADVERTIUEMENT.I
IMPORTANT TO ALL THOSE Wll.O EXPECT TO DE
RIVE BENEFIT FROn DRINKING SOU/. WATER.—Sehweppes.
Soda Water is so universally known and appreciated, not only
throughout the United Kingdom; but throughout the civilise://
world, that any encomium on its merits might appear stye:,
fluous; but as since its 'original introduction, upwards .f lee f
a century since, many imitators have started up, with more: or
less claims to public patronage, .1. S. and Co. take the li..tr.rtv
of reminding their friends and the public that the above, te.e..
breed Water continasee to be manufactured on the. -largeg
scale and upon the most scientific principles at their e:hief
tablishment, 51, Berners-street, Lemke; and al Chief
at their
three branch Manufactories in Liverpool,Bristol, em
Derby ;
and that consumers may be supplied Wall the gP.nuir,e article at
most of the respectable Chemist", Confectioners, and Italian
Warehouses in every province bi the United .Kingdom. The
just reputation of their
.mireufauture, and the eensequent de-
mand for it, have tesal<ti unprincipled persona (mane of them
of apparent relPeet...lility) to practice a deception, against.
-which Schwelw-e and Co. are anxious to caution the public..
) The deeept •
, iain referred to is that of passing off a'spurie!sa
i a"icht. 'P.A. .‘ Sehweppe's," by -selling it in Schweppes marl .eft
h9"..,e5. ' The temptation to this is, the cheapness ofth' lide-
rior water, although in most eases the consumer is'ehirged, .o.e
same. By this artifice a common water is surreptitacersly
palmed on the public for the genuine—the reputatiota of the
latter is prejudieed bv the substitution of a bad article...wet a
certain proportion of the public patronag, diverted trona its
legiti,e ate channel. To obviate these several evil,. 5,1i5,1,..
and Co. have adopted the plan of placing a Red Label ever
i the cock of each bottle, representing the Roys.l Appointment
in the centre, and the name of their firm on each side, with-
out which none is genuine. schweppe and Co, refer with
pride to the fact that they constantly . supply the Royal Palaces-
of London and Windsor, as well as the principal Nobility in the.
three kingdoms ; nor is the demand for their Soda Water less
constant on the continent and in other parts of the wurrA.
Merchants and Shippers in general connected with the E AA
and West Indies and our nuraerotts Colonies are routine illy
transmitting orders received from their respective agents eed
correspondents, and highly gratifying ms the testi. moue
Schwenpe and Co. are in the habit of receiving from e
.entle;
men returned from abroad, of the luxury afforded them l• e their
Soda Witer when met with in tropical climates, and ~,f the
i high condition in which it is generally found. The, Neo„,.
ordered for foreign countries is manufactured wit h ate ex per;.
reference to its destination, anti it. is well known that, ,no other
can equally well endure the variations of climate. Sc'hweppe's
Lemonade is an elegant. preparation of more reef lit intro-
duct ion, but from its refreshing anti wholesoije pr opei.d„ is
rapidly getting into extensive reputation. his an effervescing
draught of most agreeable savour, and maic of the best mate-
rials,-without regard to cost. Physicians anti -medical men
constantly recommend it in cases of fever, &c., nor is it less de-
sirable as an article of luxury. Every genuine bottle will
have a yellow lable on its side, with the name and address of
• the firm. Schweppe and Co. are the largest importers of the
German Seltzer Water, which they receive direct from the.
springs,
in quarts and pints, and which they offer to the publ;e-
in the original packages. N.B.—Export, orders for all clime',"

PATRONAGE.—A striking illustration of the suds.
surditv of this part of the law-church system is,to be
found in the case of Boman Catholic patrons. The late
Duke of Norfolk, for instance, a thorough Catle,stie, hail
twenty-four livings. It is true they can only be coo_
ferred upon clergymen of the Established ClAv.rch, but
what an opportunity does it give to such pa.ww,,ta to in-
troduce---especially now—persons favourable to a union
with Rome. The ruseyitesseem especiallyadar tetl. toserve
the purposes of such patrons.—Leieeitenhire merow.g.
The advises from the Worcester hop 4ristricts speai
generally of improvement in the plantatios_s ;. and it was
supposed another week or two of warn:. 'weather would
secure about an average crop. Duty b4c Led at 13,0001.,

The advices fro in other districts
concur with these.
