SOUTH CHESHIRE ELECTION

DECLARATION OF THE RETURN.

FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.)

The official declaration of the election of Sir Philip Egerton
and Mr. Tollemache, as the representatives of South Che-
shire, was made in the Castle of Chester, on Friday last, at
twelve o'clock. Some apprehensions were felt lest the pub-
lic peace should be violated, but arrangements were made,
in the disposition of the police and the military, to prevent a
recurrence of the riotous scenes which took place on the
day of polling. Mr. Wilbraham's committee, fearing that
the presence of that gentleman might excite his friends to
outrages against the other side, caused the following placard
to be extensively posted throughout the city :
" Mr. Wilbraham's committee beg to lay before his friends
the following copy of a letter addressed by him to the chair-
man of Mr. Tollemache's committee :•_7-

" ' Delamere House, July 15, 1841

" SIR,—It was my full determination to appear upon the
hustings at Chester to-morrow, to hear the announcement of
the state of the poll, and to take leave of the electors ; but
fearing from the report of several gentlemen of my committee
that my appearance might possibly renew the violent scene
which took place on Saturday, and might prevent the new
representative from being heard by his constituents, I shall,
though_most reluctantly, abstain from presenting myself.

" 'Nothing could have gii;en me greater satisfaction than►
to have seized this opportunity of addressing my numerous
friends and supporters, and of thanking them for their kind
assistance during the late contest ; but it would ill become
me to take any step which might disturb the peace of the city,
or which might prevent the irritation which is the natural re-
sult of such a contest from gradually and quietly subsiding.—
I have the honour to be, your most obedient servant,
" ' GEORGE WILBRAHAM.

" ' To the chairman of
Mr. Tollemache's committee, Chester." '
This judicious measure succeeded admirably, for during the
whole day, we believe, not a single instance of disorder oc-
curred.

Exactly at twelve o'clock, Mr. Edwd. Proctor, the Under
Sheriff, and Mr. Hostage, his agent, entered the Shire-hall.
The place was almost crowded. Before the proceedings
commenced, three hearty cheers were given for the Queen,
for Sir Philip Egerton and Mr. Tollemache, for Sir Robert
Peel and Lord Stanley ; followed by unequivocal groans for
Lord Melbourne and Mr. O'Connell. Order having been
restored,
The UNDER SHERIFF said—Electors of South Cheshire,
I am now ready to declare to you the state of the poll which
has taken place for this division of the county. The num-
bers are—

For Sir Philip Egerton, Baronet 3llO
For John Tollemache, Esq
For George Wilbraham, Esq.
(Great cheering.) I now declare that Sir Philip Egerton,
Baronet, and John Tollemache, Esquire, are duly elected to
serve in parliament as knights of the shire for this division
of the county. (Renewell cheering.)
The honourable members were then girt with swords, and
the return signed ; after which,
Sir PHILIP EGERTON presented himself amidst enthusiastic
cheering to address the electors. He said—Brother Elec-
tors ! Before I approach the pleasing duty of endeavouring
to return you my thanks for the honour you have this day
conferred upon me, •I shall feel it necessary to allude shortly
to an accusation which has been brought against me, not
casually and incidentally, but repeatedly and deliberately,
and which is calculated, and I believe intended, to injure me
in the eyes of the electors of South Cheshire. (Hear, hear.)
The accusation was made not only upon the hustings here,
but also upon the hustings at Knutsford, and it is this—that
in a speech I delivered at a public dinner at Cbngleton, this
year, I presumed to dictate to the electors of South Cheshire
who should be their representative along with myself.
(Hear, and cries of " No.") I think a very short and cur-
sory view of the circumstances under which Mr. Tollemache
was first brought forward for this division will be enough to
refute this accusation. (Hear, hear.) I find in Mr. Tolle-
mache's first address to the electors, which was consequent
upon a requisition presented to him signed by an enormous
number of the most respectable electors in this county, an
answer to the accusation. In reply to that requisition he
put forward an address which was signed on the 23d Novem-
ber, 1839. (Hear, hear.) Now, if I had proposed Mr.
Tollemache to the electors as a fit and proper person to se-
lect for their suffrages—if 1 had anything to do with getting
up the requisition, or signed it, or in any way interfered in
the proceedings, I allow some grounds might have existed
for the accusation ; but the first allusion made by me to that
circumstance was at the Congleton dinner, on the 14th April,
1841, and the requisition having been presented and accepted
in 1839 I think is a sufficient refutation of the charge.
(Hear.) I certainly did take the liberty of congratulating
the electors of Congleton upon the choice they had made of
of a candidate in case of a dissolution, and I presume to take
the same liberty now, and congratulate you upon having se-
lected Mr. Tollemache as your representative. (Great
cheers.) Another accusation was also brought against me—
not perhaps .an accusation—but Mr. Davenport was pleased
to allude in terms extremely sarcastic to my talents. It is a
matter of very little consequence to me what estimation Mr.
Davenport may entertain of my talents. I tell Mr. Daven-
port this, that I have a very high opinion of his talents, and
that, if I possessed talents equal to his, I would endeavour
to turn them to a better purpose than writing scurrilous
letters in newspapers and making personal attacks upon
the hustings. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) It is now my
pleasing duty to thank you for the reiterated mark of kindness
which you have conferred upon me this day. I have had
the great honour to serve you in the character of your repre-
sentative in the House of Commons for seven years. (Hear,
hear.) That period of time has been marked by great poli-
tical events ; but that is not all. In addressing my consti-
tuents I may also allude to the private business which has
characterised that period, and which has been so extraordi-
nary as to cause an entire revolution in the natural commu-
nications of the country. Those persons who have had to
attend committees of the House of Commons upon contested
railway bills can form some estimate of the time and trouble
which it is necessary to give to questions of that sort. There
are no questions which affect more materially the interests of
constituencies ; and they are questions which demand the
strictest and closest attention of members. (Hear, hear.)
I have endeavoured, to the best of my power, to yield to
those great subjects all the attention and consideration in my
power, and I am happy to find that the line of conduct which
I have pursued with regard to those great internal commu-
nications, has been such as to meet your approbation.
(Cheers.) Upon all questions of political importance, the
loadstone which has guided me in my course, has been the
interests of my constituents ; and it is most gratifying for me
to find that at each succeeding election I am returned as
your representative, by an increasing number of votes, num-
bering upon this occasion no less than 3110. (Great cheers.)
I esteem the honour of being your representative' as one of
the greatest that can possibly be conferred by his fellow-
men upon a fellow-creature ; and at the same time that I feel
the weight and dignity of my position, I also trust I am fully
alive to its responsibilities. (Hear.) In again taking my
seat as your representative, I shall be governed by those politi-
cal sentiments which have hitherto guided my actions ; and
I shall consider upon all subjects that the welfare of those
whose representative I am in the House of Commons, is the
paramount object for me to hold in view. (Loud cheers.)
Gentlemen, I think it is unnecessary for me to detain you
longer upon the present occasion. I can assure you I shall
yield my best attention to any business that may be entrusted
to me, and I hope and trust that when next you may have an
opportunity of recording your suffrages, you may find I am
not less worthy to receive them than I was upon this occa-
sion. (Great cheering, during which the hon. baronet re-
sumed his seat.)
Mr. TOLLEMACHE then came forward, and was received
with enthusiastic and long-continued cheering. He said—
Gentlemen and. Brother Electors ! The present unprincipled
and degraded administration have been put upon their trial
before the electors of South Cheshire ; and notwithstanding
the powerful influences that have united the ultra-radicals in
their support—notwithstanding the gross misrepresentations
that have been circulated respecting me to injure me, and to
create a prejudice against me in the opinion of the electors—
and notwithstanding the unfair and unprincipled manner in'
which party tyrants have stirred up the worst passions of the
population in towns to intimidate voters and deter them
from conscientiously recording their votes, and by which the
life of one of my most respectable tenants has been sacri-
ficed in the streets of Nantwich—(hear, hear, hear,)—l say,
notwithstanding all these unprincipled proceedings, the elec-
tors of South Cheshire have done their duty. (Great cheer-
ing.) By the triumph of constitutional principlea they have
returned a verdict of guilty against the present ministers,—
(hear, hear,)—and the sentence of banishment from office,
I believe, for life, will soon be carried into effect against them,
as a just reward for that political misconduct which has
brought upon them such political disgrace and contempt.
(Great cheers.) As regards Mr. Wilbraham, it is impossible
for any individual to entertain, in private, feelings of higher
respect than I do towards that gentleman ; and much as he
may regret that the cause be upheld has lost so honest a
supporter, still, as far as private feelings are concerned,
he has no reason to feel hurt at the result of this elec-
tion, because this important contest has not been between
Mr. Wilbraham and myself as individuals, but between most
important and vital questions and principles—questions of
principle which I firmly believe involve the welfare of every
class of the country, and the very existence of those glorious
institutions which every Englishman ought to hold most dear.
(Hear.) Should the reports that are current prove correct,
and Mr. Wilbraham he elevated to a rank above that of a
commoner, there is no one to whom his elevation wilt give
greater satisfaction and pleasure than myself ; but should he
for the present retire to the enjoyments of private life, he will
retire as a private individual respected for his virtues and ad-
mired for his talents and accomplishments by men of all par-
ties, and of all principles in the country. (Cheers.) As re-
gards myself it is impossible for me sufficiently to express to

you how grateful I feel to those friends who, by their disin-
terested support, have placed me in the most honourable but
nevertheless most responsible situation of being one of the
representatives of this great county. (Cheers.) The inter-
ests of all my constituents, whether they have been my op-
ponents or my supporters—for I feel myself the representative
of all—will have my most earnest care and attention
cheers) ' • and those great Protestant constitutional principles
which have obtained for me your zealous, determined, and
triumphant support I shall maintain and uphold to the ut-
most of my power, and to the best of my ability: (Cheers.)
Gentlemen, the pledge which I made to you in 1839, I have
now redeemed. I have given you an opportunity to record
your votes against the present government and their pro.
ceedings, and you certainly have done your duty nobly by
the decision you have come to. (Cheers.) In doing this, I
have felt I have done a duty which I owed to the electors of
this county, and they have certainly discharged the duty
which they owed to their country. (Cheers.) I will detain
you no longer, but conclude with again thanking you for
your support and esteem. (Tremendous applause.)
Mr. EDWIN Conn Err having been called upon by the
meeting, then stepped forward, and was received with re-
peated rounds of applause. He said he certainly felt most
grateful for the unexpected compliment paid to himself, and
he could only attribute it to the cause he had espoused, at the
request of a large body of the electors, on a late occasion.
It was his intention to address a few words to the meeting,
but he did not expect it would be upon that subject. (Hear,
hear.) As chairman of the central committee, he certainly
was in the secret of what they had a right to expect, for he
had taken some pains to ascertain the real state of the returns.
The returns were most satisfactory, as he had stated, but the
majority should have been much larger than it was. (Hear,
hear.) Sir Philip Egerton had congratulated the meeting
upon having obtained upon the poll 3110 votes. He (Mr.
Corbett) could only say, and he spoke with confidence, that
had the polls been kept open as the law required they should
have been, for certainly they were not legally closed—he said,
had the polls been kept open till Wednesday at four o'clock,
as the law required, he had no hesitation in saying, that five
hundred more votes at the very least would have been enrolled
for Sir Philip Egerton and Mr. Tollemache. (Cheers.)
However sanguine parties might be in a contest of this de-
scription, it generally turned out that. they over rated what
they expected, yet had this gone on there would have been
polled for the 'two conservative candidates upwards of one-
half of those electors who had a right to vote, without making

Sheriff. (Loud cheers.)
Mr. TOLLEMACHE seconded the motion, and it was unani-
mously adopted.

Mr. PROCTOR returned thanks. He felt exceedingly
obliged to the electors for this kind mark of their approbation
of his conduct during the election. However unworthy he
might be of the compliment, still he had the assurance within
himself that he had acted according to the best of his judg-
ment, and that he had done all in his power to compensate
for the absence of the High Sheriff. (Cheers.)
The court was then declared dissolved, and the electors
separated.
In the afternoon about two hundred of the electors dined
together in the spacious assembly-room of the Albion Hotel,
in celebration of the triumph of conservative and constitu-
tional principles. Mr. Edwin Corbett, chairman of the cen-
tral committee, presided ; at his right sat Sir Philip Egerton,
M.P., and at his left Mr. Tollemache, M.P., and Mr. G. C.
Legh, M.P. Many excellent toasts were proposed and elo-
quent speeches delivered; and after some hours' enjoyment
of " the feast of reason and the flow of soul," the company
separated.

The following is the state of the poll at the different polling
places throughout the division :

CHURCH MISSIONARY SOCIETY

(From Satuc day's Morning Herald.)

A special general meeting of the members of the above
society was held, yesterday, at Exeter Hall, to consider the
propriety of succeeding to a proposition of the Bishop of
London, with a view to bringing the society into immediate
connection with the established church, by enabling his
Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of
London to join the society.
In consequence of some intimation to that effect having
been made at the last annual meeting, there was a very full
attendance of clergymen and others who take an interest in
the welfare of the society. Amongst those on the platform
were the Earl of Chichester, Lord Ashley, M.P., Lord
Teignmouth, Hon. and Rev. Baptist Noel, Rev. E. Bicker-
steth, Rev. J. Cunningham, Rev. T. Gltnn, Rev. J. Rice,
Rev. Josiah Pratt, Messrs. Coates, Vores, &c.

The Earl of Chichester, as president of the society, on
taking the chair, said it would be recollected that, at the last
annual meeting, 'he had felt it is duty to advert to a propo-
sition made to him, as president of the Church Missionary
Society, the object of which was to bring that and another
body of nearly similar character—the society for the Pro-
pagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts—into direct and
immediate connection with the established church, of Great
Britain and Ireland. 'Having.submitted the proposition to
the the committee, he had been authorised to confer with
the Bishop of London on a subject so interesting not oaly
to the society but to the church itself. In the several
interviews with which he had been favoured not only
by the Bishop of London but by his Grace the Archbishop
of Canterbury, he could perceive nothing but the most can-
did, open, straightforward purpose, the direct object of his
grace and the right rev. prelate being to raise the importance
and extend the usefulness of the two societies, by affording to
their operations the countenance, sanction, and support of the
spiritual heads of the church. After much anxious considera-
tion, the committee approved of the plan submitted by the
Bishop of London. The resolution suggested by the right rev.
prelate, resolved into a law of the society, was in these
words :

" That all questions relating to matters of ecclesiastical
order and discipline respecting which a difference shall arise
between any colonial bishop and any committees of the so-
ciety, shall be referred to the archbisho'ps and bishops of the
united church of England and Ireland, whose decision there-
upon shall be final.'
The committee, although assenting to the proposed rule, con-
ceiving that words so large and general might give alarm to
the friends of the society, deemed it essential to follow up
that resolution by a supplementary rule, which should re-
cognise, in their fullest extent, the practices and principles
by which the society had heretofore been conducted. It was
with that view they had agreed to add the following rule :
" The object of the rule being only to provide a mode of
settling questions relating to ecclesiastical order and disci-
pline, in which no provision has yet been made by the society,
it is not to be so construed as, in any other respect, to alter
the principles and practice of the society, as they are con-
tained in its laws and regulations, and explained in Appendix
11. to the 39th report."
_ _ _ _

The latter rule, continued the noble chairman, left the go-
vernment of the society untouched. It was, in effect, say-
ing, " We, the society, declare those to ba the principles
upon which alone its operations are to be carried on." '
Lord Ashley moved the Ist resolution, which, in addition
to the two branches read by the noble chairman, contained
the following addend&
" The proposed reference shall be made to his grace the
primate, by the committee, accompanied by such explana-
tions and statements as the committee may deem advisable;
and the committee will be bound so to refer all questions
falling within-the scope of the rule so understood as afore-
said, which the colonial bishop shall require them to refer."
" While all decisions of the bench of bishops upon ques-
tions so referred will be considered by the committee as bind-
ing upon them and their agents, or representatives, the colo-
nial bishops, or other ecclesiastical authorities, unless con-
curringin the reference, cannot properly be considered as so
bound., '

The Rev. Josiah Pratt seconded the motion which was
carried.

Lord Teignmouth moved the next resolution, altering the
Ist, 2d, and 19th laws of the society, so as to enable the
Archbishop of Canterbury to take the office of v ice-patron,
and converting the present vice-patron into vice-president.
The Hon. and Rev. B. Noel seconded the motion, which
was unanimously adopted.
Thanks having been voted to the Bishop of London and
the Earl of Chichester, as president, the meeting separated.

It is rumoured that Lord Abinger is about to resign in fa-
vour of Sir Frederick Pollock, who is to be made Chief Baron
of the Exchequer. Mr. Cresswell will probably be Attorney-
General, upon the formation of the new administration.

The agents of the Earl of Carlisle have actually begun al-
ready to intimate that another election is at hand for the fa-
mily sheep-fold at Morpeth. Captain Howard is to make
way for the rejected of Yorkshire. Such is boroughmonger-
ing under a reformed parliament, and in the hands of profes-
sing liberals.
BRISTOL TEA SALE.—At public auction, this week, the
lowest break of Congou containing only twenty-four chests,
fetched 2s. 43d. The remainder of the Congous in the sale
were of a better description, and realised from 2s. 51d.
to 2s. 7d. ; Souchong, 2s. 61d. ; Flowery Pekoe, 3s. 81d. ;
Twankap, 2s. 3id. to 2s. sd. ; Middling Hysons, 2s. 11d. to
3s. Id. ; Imperial, 3s. 3d. to 3s. 4d. ; and Gunpowders,
4s. Old. to 4s. 3d. Since the last sale, prices may be said to
have advanced full 6d. per lb., in consequence of the decrease
of the stock on hand in the country, and the uncertainty as
to teas being got out from Canton ; but we are happy to ob-
serve, that three vessels freighted with tea have been reported
into Liverpool and London and we trust these may be taken
as the earnest of a full supply. Bristol Mirror, July 17.
Baron Campbell has sat altogether in the Irish Court of
Chancery about twenty hours. He retires, and on the death
of Lord Manners or Lord Plunket—the one in his 87th
year, and the other upwards of 76—receives 4,0001. a-year
pension, which, taking the average of human life, he will
enjoy for thirty years. Twenty hours, we.believe, contain
1,200 minutes ; and 4,0001. a-year for thirty years will give
120,0001.—50 that it requires not to be very deeply read in
Cocker to arrive at the conclusion that Baron Campbell will
receive, for the term of his natural life, just One Hundred
Pounds for every minute he has sat as our Lord Chancellor!
that is, at the rate of 6,000/. per hour ! And besides this he
had a Peerage! Lucky Baron Campbell say we !—Monitor.
CARLOW ELECTION.—I cherished the hope that this con-
test would have passed over without the spilling of any hu-
man blood, and that no crime would have stained the annals
of this county, but I grieve to record an event which reflects
discredit and dishonour on the radical faction. Last night a
man named Dwyer, who lives at Barris, was returning from
Carlow, where in the course of the day he had voted for Bun-
bury and Bruen, when a band of sanguinary miscreants at-
attacked him, and beat him so severely that he died this
morning in the most dreadful agony, leaving a wife and family
to starve. It appeared that the radicals had him locked up
in Kilkenny, with other kidnapped freeholders, previous to
this election, to secure his vote for themselves ; but when
the unfortunate man came up to the poll he paused for a time
before he declared in whose favour he would vote ; but sub-
sequently said he would cleanse his conscience, and accord..
ingly voted for Bruen and Bunbury. A thrill of disappoint-
ment ran through the ranks of his oppressors, and that night
•he was murdered. There is really something horrible in this
transaction, at which humanity shudders and Christianity re-
coils. Unfortunately for this poor victim, the military or po-
lite were not upon the road, else his assassins would not have
escaped unknown. " Dead men tell no tales," was the
maxim they acted upon,•and they deprived of existence at
midnight and when alone.—Correspondentof the Times.

REMOVAL OF A MIDDLESEX MAGISTItATE.—In our
last number we gave a report of the proceedings at a
meeting of Middlesex Magistrates, in consequence of the
removal of Mr. Moreton Dyer from the Commission of the
Peace, together with the principal portion of the published
evidence on which the necessity for his removal was founded.
Mr. Dyer has since considered it necessary to publish his
own statement of the case, together with a letter, of expla-
nation forwarded by him to the Marquis of Normanby.
In this letter Mr. Dyer admits that he had entertained the
idea of effecting the liberation of Mr. Medhurst, and had
several conversations with him on the subject, but says that
he only did so from a feeling of sympathy for his position.
Mr. Dyer states that the prisoner had earnestly requested
him to take some steps to effect this object, at the same
time expressing, in very strong terms, his grief and wretch-
edness at his continued imprisonment, as well as his con-
viction that its prolongation would affect his mind and
put an end to his existence. He adds, that feeling desirous
to procure, if possible, a remission of his sentence, he had
seriously thought over the case, and was induced to suppose
that Mr. Medhurst, by offering a large sum of money to a
national charity, might lessen the adverse feeling of the
public towards him—that it might be deemed a propitia-
tion in his favour, as well as a circumstance calculated
to induce an extension of mercy towards him, if such an
offering were spontaneously made by the prisoner and his
family; and that he had, consequently, at a subsequent
interview, detailed to Mr. Medhurst the plan by which he
hoped to effect his liberation. Mr. Dyer concludes by
saying that he is now fully sensible of the error
into which he bad been led, and he sincerely deplores
that even a feeling of commiseration should have induced
him to interfere with respect to the punishment of the pri-
soner. At the same time he declares that he never did so
from any interested motives, or from the hope or expectation
that

also adds, that neither the name of the Marquis of Norman-
