and Mr Ccbden , having been raspect vely nominated , Lord MosrETH addressed the electors in a lengthened speech , characterised by his usual heartiness and eloquence . The leading questions of the day lrerc ^ ccinected with religion , public education , public heath , and free trade . Upon each of these topics his Lcrdship spoke—first premising the spirit in in which he viewed them on the hustings , as comparcc with his feelings in the house . A higher or stronger testimony tu tho value asl importance of the principles of the Charter , which would bring the people anl their representatives more frequently fsce to face , cannot be found than the following statement by Lord Morpeth :-1 own , gentlemen , I have sometimes allowed myself to feel that the importance -which has always beca attached to the elections for the county of York , and for your district of Yorkshire especially—the unpnsing character of the audiences who , at one time or another , have
been gathered on these occasions—and the weight which their opinions have obtained in the public councils ef the united realsa , occasionally have eiven me an opportunity which the ordinary run of business in Parliament , and the common-placed strife of parties there engaged , might y seldom have supplied , of carrying the range of view beyond the immediate demands of the hour , and of speaking as if from an enlarged area to the national feeling and the national heart . There is an old fable of a combatant who , if worsted , always got fresh force and life every time he touched his mother earth ; and I feel , gentlemen , that although I may have shared , although I may hare incurred mishaps or failures elsewhere , yet as soon as 1 have been brought front
to front with a West Riding constituency , and within the hearty ringing of West Riding cheers , I have regained the full measure of my stature , and have obtained a full warrant to speak , ay , even with authority to all my countrymen . ( Cheers . ) I then venture here to tell them , that I think one of their prominent dangers at the present time—I do not say their only danger—I . do not say there may not be even opposite dangers which they ought to guard asainst—but one of their present dangers is a revival of rclisious bigotry , ( llear . hear , ) I do not mean that w ~ e are in any danger of seeing bigotry re-illumining its extinct fires , or whetting its blunted sword—its weapons are cot now of that coarse temper . ( Hear , hear . ) I do not
expect to hear it even talking of coercive restrictions or arbitrary exclusions . It may now and then try to banish a Jesuit or unseat a Jew —( laughter and cheers)—but these are rather rare exercises of its caprices . ( Hear . ) I do not cither quarrel with persons who say , 'We will not endow . ' I think that persons and denominations , not endowed themselves , have a positive right to object to any enlargement of the endowment we already have—( cheers)—though I may not think that Churchmen can insist upon the principle of absolute resistance to all further endowment with a very good grace . ( Hear . ) However , I
believe endowment is not now in even the remote contemplation of any person , or of any party . ( Hear , hear . ) But , then , I think it necessary , for my own consistency , to make some reservation when I hear it said that the State shall not educate —( hear)—when I hear it said , ' We wiil not be privy to promote or disseminate error—we will sanction nothing but the teaching of truth . ' ( Hear . ) Why . gentlemen , ' truth * and error '* -wbat words , what mockeries , are these in the lips of such as us and of all like us' ! Truth and error , which , perhaps , may eseipe the accurate discernment of even angelic natures , —
• Of the rapt seraph that adores and burns !' I doubt whether , even if we could summon before us some bright inhabitant of the upper sphere , he might not be the foremost to tell us that the Almighty has made all his creatures to love Him , and none to comprehend Him . ( llear . ) At all events , man has been distinctly told that the sum of his re ligion consists in two points—unfeigned piety to his Makt-r , and unbounded love to his fellow-man . ( Cheers . ) And then , with respect to such a question as endowment , for instance , though I am not prepared to consent to any endowment of the Roman Catholic clergy—though I believe that no person or party is prepared to bring forward such a proposal , yet 1 must frankly sav , that bringing forward
such a proposal , would , in iny humble judgment , be a folly — be an insanity — but it ¦ would not be a crime —( hear )—and while no one is more ready than myself to object to such a proposa ; being made at the present time , or at any time which I conceive likely to occur , yet my objection does not rest , like that of many well-meaning and excellent people , upon religious grounds . If I thought that the recognition or endowment of the state could impart the character of truth to any denomination , to any form of belief or mode of worship , I should hesitate before I stamped it with that character ; but that character of truth is one of a higher matteHhan states or legislatures candeal with .
So with res ; ect to education . I think it quite a lair ground for those who object to government grams and to state assistance to contend that voluntary effort is a far more efficient and powerful agent than state effort , if I may so term it—and that state effort would displace so much of the voluntary effort as to give us less of the article and a less good article than it we left voluntary effart to itself . This , 1 say is quite a fair gronnd fortaem to take ; lam notmy « e ! f disposed to concur with it . I am disposed myself to thirk , that if the state comes forward , where there is a manifest demand which cannot be otherwise supplied , and . whereacorrespondingexertion is made to meet it , —if it adopts the mo 3 t useful methods and supplies the best apparatus at its command '
tnen , m addition to what it does ifeelf , it is more likely to arouse and to guide voluntary effort ( ' No no , ' Tes , ye 3 , ' ) -more likely to act in the wav of stimul B and suggestion ( ' No , no , ' Yes , yes . ' ) than if it left voluntary effort to its own laudable but unassisted and nncontrasted energies , ctfo , n 0 and ' Hear , hear . ' ) I am assuming that we cannot attain that which I myself should prefer—that is schools to which all should resort , and by which all should be benefited in common , without distinction of sect or worship ( cheers ); to attain which . desirable end I am ready , a 31 have stated to all the audiences I have addressed on the subject , to forego the giving aay specific religious instruction in connexion with ihe ordinary business of the school ; and to leave that to their own pastors ( hear , hear ) , to their own parents ( hear , heat ) , to the Sunday-school ( hear iiear ) , to their own sanctuaries ( hear , hear ) , and to the not less -precious altar of the family hearth ( Loud applause . ) There is one tonin « , » nHOn ,: "'

tries dtthe earth ( cheers ) , to make the world ' s exuberance our own , —to improve the comfort , to refine the JVabite , and to raise the character of the great b' ^' kof our whole community ( cheers )—and , in a word , to keep our people as great as they are , and to make thorn happier than they ever have been before . ( Loud and general applause . ) Mr Dexisok next addressed the meeting . After briefly referring to the measures passed last Parliament , he enumerated his own votes . He had voted tor the bills to prohibit the working of females M \ d young children in collieries and mines , for the bill which provided for the boxing off of machinery in factories—( Ay , and we'll box you off , ' laughter )—by which accidents in factories had materially de-_ "_ . » __•• % . 1 il . _ __ ___ 1 _ 1 I _
creased ; for a bill to prevent females and children working in print works , &c . ; and lastly , for the Ton Hours' Bill . He had given to all these measures his cordial support . In the spring of 1842 not only were tho duties upon corn reduced one-half , but those on sugar , coffee , and many other necessaries of life wero reduced . Then as to the moral condition and religious instruction of the working classes , a bill was passed to divide large parishes into smaller ones , and to enable the commissioners to build churches . ( ' Oh , ' and a cry of' More to cat ar . d less churches . ' ) The present government deserved the thanks of the country for bringiog forward their education measure . ( Hear , hear . ) You could not educate the children of the working classes of this kingdom by
the voluntary principle . The first duty of a parent was to educate his children in religious principles ; and if he could not do it , then the Queen , the government , and the Parliament were bound to do it for him . He had shown himself an independent member by voting againbt Sir It . Peel on two questionsthe corn-bill and the Maynooth grant . He was more disposed to congratulate than to condole with the electors on the flattering prospects of the country . Its wealth and power would go on increasing , but faster or slower according to the manner in which working classes were relieved from the burdens which pressed upon them , and the extent to which they were raised in the locial scale . If the money spent in keeping prisoners in that place ( the Wakefield House of Correction ) had been spent on the education of the people , many a man whom he ( Mr
Denison ) , as a magistrate , had been under the painful necessity of sending there would have been a usefnl and meritorious subject of the Queen ; therefore , he would beg that they would do all t ' aey cou ! d to give assistance to the noble lord and the government with reference to the education scheme . ( Hear , hear , hear . ) Let no jealousies step in w prevent them ; but let them consider how much good there was to be done beyond what could he done by voluntary effort , lie concluded by expressing his conviction that England was destined to carry Christian truth to the end of . the earth . ( A voice : ' The Navigation Laws . ') He regarded that as a most difficult and intricate subject ; and defied any man living to express a competent and wise opinion till the whele evidence before the committee had been gone through and their report was before the world .
Mr Bright , M . P ., addressed the assemblage as the representative of Mr Cobden , and said that he ( Mr Bright ) was not only an elector of the West Riding , but from a recent happy change in his domestic circumstances , he conld scarcely consider rnmsetfastTangerin'Wakeh ' eld . ( Laughter andapplause . ) He need not there utter any words of praise on the past services of Mr Cobden ; he was proud to live in a country that had produced such a man . ( Cheers . ) Born of parents in the rank of the vast majority of those present , he ( Mr Cobden ) had , by his own exertions , ability , and the honest following out of his own convictions , made himself what he is , and had been of great and most distinguished benefit to the country which was proud to own him as a citizen . ( Applause . ) After referring to the double election of Mr Villiers for Wolverhampton and South
Lancashire , and to the election of Mr Cobden for Stockport , if h& ( Mr Bright ) might be allowed to give an opinion be shonld say that the great probability was that Mr Cohden would also be elected for the West Riding of Yorkshire . ( Great cheering . ) Almost every man distiguished for his free trade labours , and who had solicited the honour , and some who had not solicited it , had been returned to Parliament , at this election . After naming Air J . B . Smith ( stating that Mr George Wilson had been solicited to stand for various places ) , Colonel Thomp son , Mr W . J . Fox , and Mr George Thompson , he said the whole world would lose its faith in the system of popular representation if the electors of the nest Riding were to send Lord Morpeth to Parliament to say Ay , ' and Mr Denison along with him to say ' No . ( Hear ' and cheers . )
' The show of hands was then taken . There were probably 4 , 000 people within sight of the Sheriff ; about four-fifths of them held up their hands for Lord Morpeth , nearly one-fifth for Mr Denison , and above feur-fifths for Mr Cobden . The result was , of couise , declared accordingly ; and some persons who stood between the Sheriff and Mr Denison gave way , in order that he or one of his friends might make the usual demand of the poll . After a few moments , Lord Morpeth and Mr Bright having acknowlelged their victory ,
TueHcn . E . Lascelles said , —I perceive by the gentlemen on the opposite side of the hustings , looking in the direction of my friend Mr Denison , that ssmething was expected to be said either by him or on his behalf , with aview to demanding a poll . Ii is necessary , I find , that somebody should say that , as far as « e are concerned on this side ofthehust ings , we do not intend to do anything of the sort . ( Immense cheering . ) I think it right just tc State on behalf of niyhon . friend , the ground upon which he thinks it right to retire from this contest , and not to put the riding to the trouble or the confusion of a contested election . The conjunction ol parties which has now taken place has come upon us wjfh a strength and surprise that have rendered us
powerless to meet it . ( Cheers . ) An election of thiskind cannot be carried on without previous arrangement , without overcoming many difficulties before we could come to the poll . I think it due , therefore , to the candidate 1 proposed , and also to tin peace of this riding , that we should not enter int < this contest , where I think there is not a fair chanc * - of success . ( CheeM . ) How far such a proceeding as has taken place is consistent with proper respeci to the electors of the riding is matter for you , not forme . ( 'All right . ' ) The High Sheriff then declared Vi « count Morpeth and Mr R . Cobden duly elected . The announcement was received with several rounds ol cheering .
Lord Morpbih moved the usual vote of thanks to the Sheriff . Mr E . B . Desison stood forward to second it , and said—I bow with perfect respect to your verdict . ( Cheers . ) I retire from the service of the West Riding with a clear conscience and a light heart . ( Hear , hear . ) May all the blessings that human nature has any right to expect be showered upon you , and those connected with you . ( Loud and General cheering ) 6 NORTHUMBERLAND ( NORTH ) . The nomination
of candidates for the representation of the northern division of Northumberland took place at Alnwick , on Saturday . The candidates were Sir Georse Grey , her Majesty ' s Secretary of State for the Home Department , Lord Lovaine , and Lord Ossulston . Some time before the appointed hour of eleven a large crowd ^ had collected in front of the hustings , the vast majority of which consisted of the supporters of Sir George Grey . Amongst the banners anddevices was a large placard , having inscribed upon it the number of votes given by Lord Ossulston in the House of Commons from 1841 to 1847 , by which it appeared that on a total of C 10 divisions , the noble lord bad voted 47 times . Sir G . Unfit made a very Iobe speech in defence of
the n higs and their policy . He avowed himself a Wfai-r , and he gloried in the fact when he remembered that amongst those who had dignified and adorned the name by which that party was distinguished , there had been men—and , without going so far back as the noble lords who had proposed him , there were men—living men , whose names must be impertshabl y associated with all those great social improvements which had of late years been effected by actsof the legislature . ( Cheeri . ) Nottomentien Negro Slavery , or the Test and Corporation Acts , he stood before the electors as one ot that party whoBe efforts , aided and supported by the people , had passed the Reform Act , and conferred upon many he now saw gathered before him that right of exercising the franchise , which they had not before possessed . ( Cheers . )
On the sUow of hands , the sheriff declared it to be in favour of Sir George Grey and Lord Lovaine . The majority cf Lord Lovaine over Lord Ossulston appeared to be very small ; but the preponderance of bauds in . favour of . Sit G . Grey was overwhelming . A poll was demanded by Lord Ossulston .
WARWICKSHIRE ( NORTH . ) The nomination tookplaceat Coleshill . on Tuesday . Mr Pugdale was not pat in nomination , as had been anticipated . The assembly at the hustings was somewhat riotous , and thesheriff could with difficulty preserve order during the proceedings . The candidates were Messrs Newdegate , Spoener ( the defeated of Birmingham ) , Leigh , and firacebridge . Mr Newdegate , in bis speech , denied he had , by endeavouring to promote Mr Speoner ' s election , sought to monopolise both seats . As a proof of this , he asserted , that he had always refused to point out a
gentleman fitted to succeed Mr Dogdale , although be materially differed with the opinions that gentleman entertained . The hon . gentleman proceeded amidst great uproar to eulogise Mr Spooner for ' his talents and consistency , ' and declared his intention to support him . ( At this moment Mr Newdegate and Mr Spooner exchanged colours with each other amidst shouts of laughter , in the midst of which a wag in the crowd reminded tte latter that he changerf his colours before , referring to the hon . gentleman ' s conversion from radicalism to ultra-toryism . ) The speaker next adverted to Sir R . Peel ' s speech at Tamworth ; and ne denied that the protectionists bad deprived h Un of

the power ofoarryingonthe government j and as a proof that they had not been actuated by factious motives , he cited the fact of their having supported the honourable baronet in repealing a large amount of import duties—in revising the corn laws , and in hU measure respecting the importation of Canadian corn , lie went on to declare his satisfaction that the reins of government were in the hands of Lord John Russell rather than Sir Robert Peel . He eulogised Lord G . Bcntinck and his measures , and declared his abhor , tonca of the new poor law . He censured the conduct of the Anti-Corn Law League , and of Mr Cobden , respecting his return for tho West Riding . The hat sentence of his speech was an emphatic declaration never to again support Sir Robert Peel . II _ . * .
Mr SrooxER spoke next . He declared that he agreed with everything Mr Ncwdegnte had said ; he denied that he had been concerned in any plot to turn out Mr Dugdale , the late member ; and at the conclusion of a characteristically inflated harangue , he declared that he was for ' our glorious protestant constitution of church and state ; and for the protection of native industry . ' The other candidates having Bpoken , the show of hands was then taken , and declared to be in favour of Mr Newdegate and Mr Spooner . A poll was then demanded on behalf of Mr Leigh atd Mr Bracebrklge .
MONMOUTII ( COUNTY . ) The nomination ofcandidatcs lor tho representation of this county took place on Saturday , at the Town-hall , Monraouth . As may have been expected , party feeling runs higher than is usually the case even at contested elections , aiad the friends of Lord Granvillc Somerset , and those of Captain Somerset and Mr Octavius Morgan , mustered in great numbers . The cause of the excitement is that the head of the Somerset house has taken offence at Lord
Granville Somerset for supporting Sir R . Peel , and brought forward a young scion to supplant the member who for 30 years has done the bidding of the Ducal hcati of the houso , but who , having at the end of that period found a will of his own , can beno longer tolerated . The candidates having been proposed , Sir T . PniLLirs ( of Temple ) came forward , and said he had to call the attention of Captain G . A . Somerset to the provisions of the Qualification Act , ar-d to ask him in the legal form if he had the necessary qualification to represent a countv in
Parliament ? Captain Somerset did not make any reply at the moment , and Sir T . Phillips then handed the requisition for the candidate to make the necessary declaration of his qualification . to the High Sheriff , who presented it to the gallant officer . Mr Blakemoke , M . P ., rose to explain to the court ( which was a scene of great confusion and anxiety , as to the formulas that were going on in the sheriff ' s box , ) what the nature of the proceedings were ; but the honourable gentleman ' s explanation only made the people more anxious , and he sat down with the warning that all their votes would be thrown away if the gallant officer had not the necessary qualification .
Captain Somerset now came forward , and handing 4 parchment to the high sheriff , said , I beg to state 1 am duly qualified to Bit in Parliament , and here is the document to prove it [ tremendous cheering , and loud cries of ' "What ' s the date of it ? where did you get' ?] Does any one doubt my qualifiation ? I am prepared to prove it [ renewed enters and uproar . ] The proceedings , which occupied several hours , were of a very boisterous description , the 'lie' frequently passing among the ' gentlemen' on the hustings . Lord G . Somerset , like Mr Grantley Berkeley , made a capital expose of the manner in which the people are overawed by aristocratic influence , and how hollow a mockery the so-called
representative system still remains in large districts of the country , where the members are merely the nominees of the the titled owners oi the soil . Lord G . Somerset ' s explanations of the manner in which coercion was brought to bear on the voters , was met with a cry of give us the ballot , ' which the meeting followed up with cheers , but it drew no response from his lordship . His lordship contributed the tolifiwhig facts to political biography ; speaking of the Peel ministry , lie said : —• Tho cabinet with which ho was connected felt that the question was one which had not been before considered in a light in which they fell bound to consider it , and Sir Robert Peel and his follower ! resigned their offices into the hands oftheQ , ueen . He ( Lord G . Somerset then left .
town , expecting that Lord John Russell would be able to form a government . He knew that Lord Stanley would not undertakeit . forhe heard him say so . ( Hear . ) He continued out of London till he was sent for . Sir Robert Peel told him that her Majesty had been disappointed in Lord John Russell ' s efforts to form a government , had called upon him to re-form his , and he asked him whether he would resume his office ? He told Sir Robert that he was convinced , looking upon tho state of affairs —looking at the pressure on the country , and taking the whole matter into consideration , he felt bound , as a public man , to give his consent to a total repeal of the corn laws ; but he told him , at the same time , that as to his resumption of office he must take time
to consider . He consulted only three persons—time did not admit of his cossultins ; more ; he consulted them separately , and told them the case , and each of them said he could do no otherwise than resume ofhee . He then made up his mind to resume office , and he was very much gratified at receiving , the morning before he sent to Sir R . Peel to tell him he was willing to resume office , a visit from an influential gentleman of that county , Mr Bailey , who ap . proved of the course he intended to take . '—Mr Bailey denied that in the interview with Lord Granville , in December , 1 S 45 , ho admitted him to be right in joining Sir 11 . Peel ' s cabinet . On the contrary , ho recapitulated to him what had passed since 1811—told him that the country was in a prosperous state , and that corn ought not to be admitted duty free when only at 55 s . per quarter . The interview ended
m his ( Mr Bailey ' s ) sayisg , 'I conscientiously tell you , 1 think it is nut for the good of the ceuntry , and I , with my principles , must desert you . '—Lord G . Somerset reiterated his statement that Mr Bailey said he thought he ought to join Sir R . Peel . Ho alrosaid , 'Your agricultural friends , probably , will be very violent against you , but you will have the manufacturers with you . ' —Mr Bailey : 1 deny that in toto . The last words I said were , ' If yon will sever yourself from Sir R . Peel and those opinions I would go down on my knees to you . ' Captain Somerset retorted the charges of coercion —these things were as much on one side as the other . ( Cheers , groans , and laughter . ) A great majority held up tlieir hands for Lord G . Somerset , next came Mr Morgan , and after him Captain Somerset , for whom a poll was demanded .
CAMBRIDGE ( COUNTY ) . The election of three members to serve in Parliament for the county of Cambridge and Mo of Ely took place on Monday . The . candidates were the old members , the Hon . E . Torke , and Mr Towneley and a brother of Lord John Manners . ' Mn E . Uicks asked the candidates as to the propriety of the introduction of the Jews into a Chrisfun Legislature . ( Uproar , and cries of ' Three cheers for Rothschild . ' ) These were given so heartily as to make the building ring . MrE . YoRKB replied that it was now admitted that persons of all religious opinions were eligible . Mr Rothschild was elected , and it now only remained to decide whether or not he could sit . To the whether
question he approved of Mr Rothschild ' s sitting , he replied that he should vote against it f he majority , however , would doubtless vote for Mr Rothschild , and he would get in . Mr Yorke in the course of his speech remarked , the new Parliament would comprise amongst its members that many new laces , maay men of notoriously democratic opinions , and many who entertained similar opinions bat who , from a knowledge of the law , knew better how far they could carry the proper claims of the people . It appeared to him that the removal of protection had not given them all that they required . What , he asked , was the state of the poor in tho manufacturing districts , and generally , since it 3 removal ? It had been said that the blessings would
descend upon mankind on its removal . Where were they ? ( Cry of ' Ask Fox , Cobden , or Thompson in the House of CommoEs V ) No , he wanted them to answer it , as he supposed they had as good appetites as any one dse .

ten pound—Yours , truly , - '—It appears that he had promised one vote to the coalition for j £ 3 lfb , trusting to their honour for payment ; but he was firm in refusing Mr Parker a vote under' ten pound . ' One of the admit electioneered , therefore , at the time for polling , finding all attempts vain to beat dowu the price , pulled out , somewhat reluctantly , a bank note , which he faithfully promised to give him after polling . This was enough for the independent elector , who hastened to the booth and polled for Strickland and Parker-. The note was given to him , and he departed . It was not long before he examined his prize , and found that it w » s drawn upon the
Bank of Elegance—No . ' . 230 . —I premise to pay on demand the sum of five pounds , if I do not sell articles cheaper than anybody else in the whole universe . —For myself and Co ., G . Qildert . —2 , Green Arbour . court , Old Bailey . The dupe , unwilling to lose the price of his double dealing with the precious vote entrusted to his care , had the foolish audacity to carry this note to one of the parties to be exchanged for a good one ! lie was advised to hold his tongue , being liable to be apprehended for having a forged note in his possession , and also prosecuted for bribery . This admirable specimen of honesty and consistency having thus sold his vote to both parties , has been paid by noither , having hunted in vain after the ' three pound ten . ' He now gets , what he richly deserves by way of reward , the contempt and demion of all the neighbourhood GLOUCESTER ( WEST ) ,
The official declaration of the poll took place at Dursley . The High Sheriff declared the numbers as follows : — R . B . Hale 4 , 240 Grantley Berkeley 2 , 744 Grenville Berkeley 2 , 123 The Hon . Grantley Berkeley , in addressing the electors , handed in to the High Sheriff a paper , which had been presented to him , signed by two
electors , named Sage and Head ford , of Euston , near Bristol , calling upon him to make a declaration of his property qualification . He designated it as another infamous and unconstitutional attempt to interfere with the free choice of the electors ; and said the Lord-Lieutenant had mistaken his man . He had met his enemies in the election , and would meet them , if necessary , elsewhere ; for he had taken good care , before exposing his friends to r " i 8 k and expenie , to see that his qualification was perfectly safe . Mr Hale also addressed the electors , and both members were chaired round the town amidst great cheering .
1 here has been a most extraordinary election . On the side of Mr Grenville Berkeley have been ranged Earl Fitz ' aardinue , Earl Diicie , and all the Whig gentlemen . Mr Grantley Berkeley had neither money , organisation , or agents ; but the public feeling ran Btrong against the Castlo ; and the independent Whigs , aided by many of the Conservatives , have enabled Mr Grantley to triumph over the odds against him . Some serious disturbances have taken place during the contest , and in the Forest of Dean ome houses have been wrecked . On Friday evening Mr Grantley Berkeley was attacked by a collier at Coleford , but fortunately escaped injury . Soon after , while looking from the window of the Roebuck Inn , he perceived hia assailant in the crowd , and wentout to secure him ; when he was set upon , thrown down , and severely kicked . Some friends came to his reecue , or he might have been killed .
NOTTINGHAM . Mn "Walter ' s Reception . - On Tuesday , Mr J . Walter of the Times , one of the newly-elected members for Nottingham , made a public entree into the town , and met with a most enthusiastic reception . Shortly before eleven o'clock , horsemen , carriage * , and pedestrians , in immense numbers , with flags and bands of music , set out to meet Mr Walter on his way from Chitnell , a village about five miles from Nottingham . At twelve the calvacade entered the market-place , amid the vociferous cheering of the assembled multitude , the bands playing' See , the conquering hero comes ! ' Tho new member , with his nominators ( Mr Bowley and Mr lledgate ) , and the chairman of his committee ( Mr T . H . Smith )
occu-, pied a splendid open carriage , gaily decorated with laurels and evergreens , and drawn by four beautiful greys . After parading some of the principal streets , the procession again entered the market-place about two o ' clock , and Mr Walter and his friends proceeded to the Exchange hall , where Mr Bowley read a congratulatory address to Mr Walter , who then presented hnnselt at the window . and was greeted with a burst of applause from the dense mass of human bengscongregated beneath . He delivered a somewhat lengthy address , avowing himself the supporter of similar principles to those advocated by his late father . Speaking of that gentleman , hesaid : —There has been no public man in the present century whose name will go down to posterity with so much
approbation from his feilqw-men for ths disinterestedness and simplicity of his motives , the soundness of his political opinions , and the pure benevolence of his heart , as he for whose sake , and in acknowledgement of whose merits you have placed me in tho position in which I now stand . ( Loud cheers . ) Gentlemen , it h « s been truly stated in the address which has just been read , ' that my father's political connexion with this borough was severed by no act or fault for which the electors could be held responsible . ' ( Loud cheers . ) It might have been added , that he was unfairly ousted from Parliament on account of those very principles and opinions for which you sent him there . ( Loud cheers , and cries of ' We are quite certain he was , ' ) I have no hesitation' in saying , v kitl believe every tno ol tju is convinced of , that it was my father ' s determined and persevering hostility to that most atrocious of all laws . —the New Poor Law ,... which cost him hia
sent in Parliament , and deprived you of his service * ( Cheers . ) He was ousted by the decision of a committee whose chairman was the familiar friend of his bitterest opponent ; a decision which made the whole country ring with cries of ohame ( cheers ); and in which in no place was received with . greater disgust and indignation than in this very borough . ( Loud cheers . ) Yet . gentlemen , he had the satisfaction of seeing that , although his voice was silenced , and he himself excluded from Parliament , the cause which he 89 manfully and warmly espoused found other and younger champions than himself . ( Cheers . ) He had the satisfaction of seeing the deathblow given to the Poor Law Commission , by tho nccumulated weight , of evidence of the incapacity , cruelty , and neglect of those persons , which was embodied m the report of the Andover Union Committee ( Loud cheers . ) lie lived to see move than this ; he lived to Bee some advance at least made towards a more humane and generous system ( cheeral -. for hU

The result appeared to be unexpected on the part of Mr Watson ' s supporters . A good deal of excitement existed ^ the town during the day . The voters of Mr Guinness were in several instances followed on eaving the booths , and were assailed in a most violent manner , and where immediate personal violence was found difficult to inflict , in conscqueDCO of the check which the presence of a strong party of police imposed , the mob attacked the houses of the parties and smashed the windows of their opponents .

The disturbances would probably have assuraedamore serious aspectbut for the presence and intervention of two companies of the 54 th and Cth regiments , and a troop of the 1 st Royal Dragoons , a part of which was drawn up opposite the Court-house . A large party of police were also stationed in the vicinity of tho Court-house , and near the committee-rooms of the candidates . DUBLIN ( CITY ) .

Mr Sheii triumphed over his Repeal Antagonist , who , considering the late hour at which he took the field , made a close and manly struggle to add the Master of the Mint to the listof the rejected officials . At the close of the poll the numbers stood thus : — Sheil 151 Maguire 135 Majority 10 Mr Sheil , when the numbers were declared , dedined addressing the electors in consequence of the
unmannerly reception he had met with on the day of nomination , notwithstanding that Mr Maguire had strained every nerve to procure a hearing for the right hon . gentleman . One paper states : There were from twenty to thirty of Mr Shell ' s friends and supporters who were anxious to vote lor him kept back by the terrorism of an organised mob , who , in many instances used violence to Mr Shell's agent , and prevented the freedom of election by intimidating the electors—so much so , that tho military were obliged to escort some of tho voters to tho hustings .
