NEWTON, FRID-Y AFTERNOON.
A: an early hour this morning the. movers and. seconders of
Lori Francis Egerton and Mr. Bootle Wilbraham,
.together
w;c;i,a considerable number of gentlemen Who formed ,the com-
mittee of those canflidates, began to assemble at the Legh
- Aims. Pre,,iselv at ten o'clock the High Sheiitf, J. J. 'lraf-
. ford, Esq., attended by Mr. Addison as.his assessor, and Mr.
Under. Sheriff Birch.ill, took.his place on the hustings, when
" Mr. Addison informed the electors resent that a poll had been
throughout the southern division of the county of Lau-
c4.4er fOr the four several candidates who bail been proposed as.
fit and prver. persons to be returned by them as knights of the
Shire. Some time.Wouldl3e reqiiired to add up the poll-books
of the different distrietsrawl as-soon as thik was done the She-
. riff would declare who were the successful candidates. When
Lord Francis Egertnn made his appearance on the hustiugs the
cheering was loud and general. Ihe reception of Mr. \VII-
, beahain was equally fl; itteriii.r, The freeholders in attendance
were not very numerous; those present consisting of gentle-
men whoresided in the nnowdiate neighbourhood of Newton
and members of the Liverpool and Manchester committees.
Aritouk, these we noticed. the . Mayor of Liverpool; Sir John
Gerard, Bart.; Sir Thomas Brancker; Sir Philip .Egerton,

Esq„ of 'latton-park; Tattoo Egerton, Esq., M.P.; John,
Entwistle, Esq., 'M.P.; 'Hindley, Esq., M.P. tur Ashton,.
(this gentleman
.was not on the hustings;) Piggott,
*Vicar of St. fltiten's ; Win..Hutto:4 Esq.; ultun,
:Esq,;. William Cririe, Esq., Mauchester ; R. C. Sharp, Esq.,
Manchester; Captain White; Captain Dickson; Col. flumhe

Ridgmont; J. Leid, Esq., Mayor of Wigan : Rev. C.
'K. -Prescott, Rector of Stockport; H. B. Houghton, Esq.;
and the Rev. Thomas Blackburn, ViCir of Eccles.

The gallery erected opposite the hustings for the accomoda-
lion of ladies was nearly tilled, and a considerable number were
also present in their carriages, which .were drawn up in the
;centre of the street. Among these the only names we could
.recognise were those of Lady Gerard, Mrs. Ireland Bl7ck-
lurne, Mrs. and two. Misses Hutton, and Mrs. Lyon, of Ap-
pleton. All the ladies present were decorated with 'blue rib-
bons, blue and white scarfs, rosettes, &c. &c., these. being
the colours of the successful candidates, to honour whose re-
turn. they had left their homes, although the weather was
somewhat unfavourable.
Daring the absence of the sheriffs the time of the company
was occupied chiefly in congratulations, in recounting anec-
dotes eonnec:ed with the striaggle which has rescued Lancashire
frOm whig-radical and radical-unitarian domination, and in
discussing the prohable effects which would arise in public feel-
'ing generally on this decided symptom of "no reaction." T 6
.sialiven the scene a baud of music struck up " God save the
"King," which called forth such a. burst of patriotic feeling as
ave,,scarce ever witnessed. The whole of the company on the
bustings and in the gallery rose and responded to the senti-
*tents so beautifully expressed in this national anthem. The
_cheering. was continued for several. minutes, expressive of that
le. al and alfectiouate feeling the conservatives of South Lanca-
Aire hear to their must gracious monarch. This air was followed
'by " Rule Britannia"—" Britons, strike homer —"Oh, dear,
what can the matter he," and other -popular tunes. An ostler
Item one of the inns appealed in the crowd with an old lan-
Jeff; and candle hoisted on a pole, decorated with the colours
of Lord Molyneux and Mr. Wood. He declared that be came
among them to look for a whig. After examining all the car-
riages, the hustings, and the people assembled in front of
them, he singled out Mr. C. Elindley, the elected for Ashton and
the rejected of Warrington. A loud but good humoured laugh
followed this. discovery. About the same period a pack of
hounds passed down the street, when the cry of "A whig hunt"
—"Rua them down"—"Tally-ho," and the " View hone" were
given. .
It was generally expected that Lord Molyneux and Mr.
WOod, or some of their friends,. would have been present, Un-
der this impression one half of the hustings was reserved for a
considerable tune, for their acconiodation. Owing, we presume,
to. some "untoward event," or "unforeseen. circumstance,"
neither of the LATE members of Parliament for South Lanca-
shire appeared to explain to their friends the cause of their re-
.jection, or to thank them fur the votes given in favour of " lta-
Aeform,".church reform, anti the thousand-and-one other
reforms ,;high these patriotic gentlemen so liberally promised
their followers. The only persUn present connected with the
defeated—may we not add defunct—faction in South Lanca-
shire? was Mr. Charles Hindley ; but he held his peace.
Precisely at a quarter past one the High-Sheriff returned to
the. hustings, when Mr. ADDISON stated, that John Joseph Trot:-
1,9.1dt Esq., the High-Sheriff of Lancashire, being the returning
, officer for the southern division of that county, declared the pull
to be as follows :

. For Lord Francis Egerton 5620
• The Ilon. R. Bootle Wilbraham 4729
Lord '4\ .lolyneux 4629
(When this was announced. three cheers and one cheer more.)
George, Win. Wood, Esq .4394
'The IliGn-Stiantsr, then declared that the election for two
ktights of the shire fur the southern diviiion of. Lancashire to
sere in the ensuing parliament had fallen upon Francis Levi-
son Gower Egerton, Esq., commonly called Lord Francis Le
*en iiower
,Egerton, and the Honourable Richard Bootle Wil-
braham.
. This declaration was received with loud cheering, and the
waving qf handkerchiefs from the ladies. •
Under-Sheriff Bincii.sta, then read the indentures ;—the
Members were girt with swords by their respective proposers,
Sir 'John Gerard and John Moss, Esq. The return was then
sigocd by the high-Sheriff, Sir John Gerard, Colonel
thin-the Tempest, Mr. -John Moss, and Mr. Joseph Birley,
as thernoVers and seconders of the two elected uaember& The
Sheriff then, announced that asp, other freeholder who might
also wish to affix his signatureqo the deed was at liberty to do
in. It-was subsequently signed "by. James Aspinall, Esq.,
Mayor of Liverpool, Sir Thomas Brancker, Mr. Alderman
Wright, William Hulton, senior, Esq., and John Lord, Esq„.
Mayor of Wigau.
Fil.tNcTS EGERToN then stepped forward amidst the
spast enthusiastic cheers, and. addressing the high sheriff and
fTegholders assembled said, that...after the cheering announce-
ment which they hid just heard made. by. the sherifthe trusted
'they would think with hint, that although • the period of an-
npuocement had been, rather .long from the circumstance of
the poll-books having to be added up, that the result had been
North waiting for. (Loud cheers.) This.announcement of the
state of, the pill, being in favour of himself and his hon. col-
4agne, he considered authorised him, without infringing upon
apy, custom or regulation, to address- a few wordS to the free-
holders who, since he hadahe honour. of appearing upon the
hustings in the character of• a candidate, had returned him
trOmpliaotly as their represeotative, (Loud cheers.) This
I.l4.distinetfon conferred upon him he thought justified him
congratulating them on the successful termination of the
contest, and compelled him to .endeavour, however feebly, to
express his acknowledgments for having thought proper to con-
der him worthy of the situation in which had placed him.
'they had thought,fit to draw hint from the obscurity of private..
and .social life, in which sphere be had hoped to have rendered
himself useful, to the high and more important station of being the
representative of what now assumed to be the popular interest
of the country, and he did from his heart truly congratulate them
upon the. achievement of a glorious victory by an intelligent, in-
lineutial„and respectable. majority of a free community, as be
considered a successful exercise of the opiuious of the people. a
proper subject for congratulation.• (Loud cheers.) lie felt a
glewing. pride within him, when he could look back from that
e4tinence to which.they had raised him, and trace the path
by. which he had risen, and say that he was not indebted for his
.election to any sinister or corrupt practices or. motives. (Loud
cheers.) He had the great pleasure of knowing that they, had
met their opponents, and the differences of opinion of the oppo-
sition, fairly and honourebJy throughout the contest; not in the
masts-emote degree had they deviated front the path of rectitude
and liOnour which was characteristic of indepetstkent freeholdets
of the connty of Lancaster. (Cheers.) For himself, he owed
them a large account of gratitude, no: merely for having re-
turned him as their repre-sentative to Parliament in a good
cause, but for having returned with him a colleague—(cheers)—
whose principles were in accordance with his own, and with
whom he felt -happy in being politically. .united to serve their
interests by labouring for their permanent good., He knew
that the present time, when they had met to hear the triumph
of- their cause', was not an occasion to venture upon observa-
tions respecting what had fallen from the lips of the other can-
didates; he should not, therefore, generally discuss them; but
there was one. remark made by a noble friend of his, (one of the
candidates) which he considered worthy of comment. That
noble lord had expressed an opinion that he was perfectly well
satisfied of what would be the-result of the elections throughout
the: country. Whether. that noble lord's opinions were for or
against the principles of, his Majesty's government, it so sin-
gularly happened that the, opinion he expressed was in perfect
acCordanee With the opinions of the ministers of the crown.
(Lem). Cheers.) Ile (Lord Egerton) had just received a Lou-
•dop newspaper, containing the report of a speech made by the
Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel to the electors of Taniwortb, in
which that minister declared himself quite satisfied with the
result of the elections, and that he should therefore he enabled
to conduct the ministry of the. country with the, new Ilouse ofi
Co-mnions, (loud- and .continued cheering,) and it would .be
accomplished on trite constitutional principles, and with a
spirit embracing all constitutional reforms, in the desire for
which men entertaining conservative principles were unani-
mouslyagreed. (Cheers.) :With the sentiments
.expressed,hy.
Sir. It, PeelleMout Merton) hoped. to meet him iu the Ilouse
of Commons, to afford hint all the support he could contribute,
both as regarded his votes and otherwise: (Cheers.) With regard
to the late election, in Whia proved.oner of the success-
ful candidates, he had heard on a furnter occasion that the
contest' throughout Would he conducted with that meideration
and good feeling on both sides which distinguished it at the
outset, and he was happy. to find that that harmony -had: con-
tinued to the close of the two distinguished days which hail re-
I tuned . hint and his colleague, as their representatives. (ch.eers.).
lie: belieVed that no election had taken place in tile country
since it 61cl:been his. Majesty's
pleasure to summon a. parlia-
ment which had been conducted with lois auitnesity ur dis-
union. which was one circumstance, in addition to others, , that
caused him to be 'proud of the county he was called upon to.
represent. There was another feeling and cause in which he,
as *ell as the freeholders, had
to congratulate themselves.
They had heard of ittiluence having been exercised, called cor-
ruid influence—such as the influence of property anti wealth
there was one influence they y ought not to forget, And, that
was the legitimate influence of beauty which had.presidetl over
them (loud cheers); he alluded to those Mies -whose bright
eyes had lent a reflective influence to their, cause on the
tray of nomination. They had then, as before, a store of
ladies, ", whose. bright eyes rained influence," and he believed
he Might say now adjudged the prize. (Loud cheering.)
If they had felt the corrupting influence of their 'attraction, and
had ben t before their' .fascinating smiles, he. was'confident the
cause had no occasion to fear the- corruptive influence of
bribery, wealth, or power. It new only remained fur hint to
thank them for the high honour they had conferred upon hint,
but he felt that he could not -do so in adequate terms, but frbm
the bottom of his heart he cordially thanked them 'for the dis-
tinguished mark or confidence with which they had honoured
him. The noble lord concluded his speech amidst the'mest en-
thus-lain-lc cheering, in the course of which a stentorian voice
from the crowd wits heard asking " What was become of the'
Derby interest ?" This'eXelamation excited much merriment
in eiery.Part of the assembly; .

The Honourable Mr. WILBRAHARt then came forward. and
was received with loud cheerin2.. The honourable gentleman
said. that it was under very different feelings than when he
saw, ,them. on Saturday last he now appeared before them.. Ho
now.came fOrward to (hank them by the warmest 3el;uovvledg.
meals, which he feared he, should be at a loss to express, for the
high honour they had c.mferred upon him, by returning him as
one of their representatives in the ensuing parliament.. He felt.
assured that the eves of the whole country had been directed to
the contest iq the southern division of Lancaster, and he be-,
lieved that IFie result would -be a source of pleasure to those
who are anxious fur the welfare of their country. They were
galled upon to support the prerogative' of hii Majesty, when he

As soon as the cheering which followed the close of the hon.
member's speech had subsided, "Three cheers for Church and
King," "Three cheers for the Queen," "Three cheers for his Ma-
jesty's Ministers," "Three cheers for Mr. Hutton," "Three
cheers for the Cause," "Three cheers for the High Sheriff;"
and "Three cheers for the Lancashire Witches," were.calied
for successively and cordially given.
Lord FRANCIS' EGERTON then moved a vote of thanks to the
High Sheriff, "fur h's able and impartial conduct in fulfilling
tae duties which devolved upon him as the returning officer at
..this election."

The noble lord's motion was seconded by his colleague, Mr.
BOOTLE WILBRAHAM, and carried nem. con.
A Country Farins . then called out—" Let us give three
cheers far Lord Molyneux, fur I hear he is ' very' poorly." (A
loud laiigh.)
Sir Itormet Hoti. LEIGH, Bart. theniaddressed the electors
as follows :—Triumphant electors of this regenerated county !
(Loud cheers.) As one of the oldest conservatives on these
hustings the gentlemen present have thought proper to impose
the pleasing task upon me of returning thanks for this triumph-
ant terniination of this successful contest. I should ill acquit
myself in doing so if I at the same time neglected to call to
your recollection and attention one whose whole soul has been
in the cause of conservatisin, and Without whose soul of fire we
could have done little' or almost nothing, for his inspiring
genius was our directing course. In him loyalty is an innate
element, and it has 'raised that flame of patriotism which light-
ed the drooping spirits of the conservatives to their successful
efforts. (Cheerso This friend of Mine, gentlemen—there• he
stands—is Mr. llulton, and I have great pleasure in paying
this tribute to his rare talents and peat private worth. I need
not only congratulate you on the great success of this day for
your own sakes, I do so for the sake of your country; and
I hope it will be the means of operating as an antidote to
the hostility to. the establishments of the country, civil
and religious, under which we live, which has hitherto predo-
-initiated. The speech of the venerable barntiet, who, we are
happy to add, appeared in excellent health, was delivered with
great animatian, .and was received with marked attention. Its
Close was loudly applauded.
Mr. llim.Toist was then called for from several parts of the
meeting, and, in obedience t 6 the call, he advaiicad to the front
of the hustings and said that, as he considered it would best be-
come him when at the point of returning from the proud scene of
triumph which he bad just witnessed, not to remark upon state-
ments which had been made by his opponents, he should not allude
to them. He might, however, say with truth, that his whole heart
and soul had for years been devoted to his King and country.
(Cheers..) Through times of difliiculty danger, end privation
he had fought the battle strenuously, full of conscious dignity,
feeling that nothing could swerve him from those' duties which
were inculcated upon his mind in early life, (cheers;) through
times of persecution he had endeavoured to hold up his head,
knowing and feeling that a change would and must take
place. That period had arrived—the change had taken place.
It was now most gratifying to see the constituency of this great
county taking an opportunity
.of expressing those, sentiments
.which neither money nor ambition could buy. They had nobly
sent to parliament two gentlemen as their representatives who
despised, and were uncontaminated by any of the dirty trickery
of the ,opposition. From these gentlemen they had the gua-
rantee of their principles in the high antiquity of their ances-
tors; they had the guarantee of their high personal characteis,
and he was sure they would respond to the feeling of their con-
stituents, by laying before his Majesty their best thanks for
the recent exercise-of his royal prerogative. (Loud cheers.)
After some further cheers bad been given, the High Sheriff
dissolved the meeting.

At the close of this election on Friday, at Newton, we had
the pleasure of witnessing an expression of public feeling which
recalled to our recollection the good old times of Gz.orge 111.,
when • loyalty to his King was accounted' honourable in 'an
Englishman.
During the absence of the high sheriff the band in attendance
struck up the national hymn of " God save the King." The
first note of this air was the signal for eery
.Person present,
both upon and in front of the hustings, being uncovered,
although a shower of rain was falling at the time. There were
no cries.of " hats off ;" but, notwithstanding this, the hats of
the company were simultaneously taken off, and remained off
until the tkiird stanza had been performed, when a'Shout of
generous enthusiasm marked its- close. The allusion Of
Bootle Wilbraham to an expression of George lll.—"'!'hat
Lancadlire was the most loyal county iu his dominions"—was
probably suggested by the state of popular feeling which he
there saw manifested. Why the couoty dLancaster has been
less loyal to our present monarch than to his royal father we
must ask those who have taken such pains to poison the minds
of its inhabitants. •

"The men of South Lancashire may well be prowl of their
exertions. Mr. G. W. Wood, adi3senter of the "East" school
a'person onlY-eonipicuous for his violent and rancorous katred.
of the church, his vituperative powers on that subject being un-
redeemed by the-slightest spark of talent, is dismissed from the
representation of South Lancashire, to wake room for the able,
eloquent, and c,,usistent Lord Francis Egerton, of whom the
Lancastrians may indeed be proud.. Nor is this all, Mr. Wil-
braham, the worthy son of the 'excellent Lord Skelinersdale,
who canto forward to secure the election of his noble friend, is
chosen as the other representative for that division of. the
county, Lord Molynenx, a remarkably stupid young gentleman,
whose silence in the House of Coinmutis was 'as notorions a§
his noisy declamation on the hustings was unmeaning, being
dismissed by his constituents in the teeth of all the intluence.ek-
'ercised by that wise supporter of the omnibus cabinet, the bril-
liant Lord Sefton."—Morning Poit.
