BbotHeb Chaetlst 2 To >" -Ei . ectob 5 , —On Monday E £ St you will be called upon to perform , for yourselves , s most sacred dntv ; do less a duty fh ^ n to declare vLeit-er or no there is a majority cf non-electors over tie electors in the great county of York , -srho consider tiemselret entitled to , and capable of exerciKing , the franchise . That , and simply that , is the question yrhich yon - will be called upon to decide , and beyond laat one point yon bare not the slightest interest Brothers , bear this in mind . On Monday , for tiie first time , yon -rill meet the factions
jti >/ & handed , nund that . The Whigs and the Torifea tsznoi unite against yon . Whig hands only Trill be b »! d np for the old hack and cradled Lord . Tory fcaE&s , and only Tory hands , ¦ will be held np for the ] heir to title and his church-supporting coadjutor j Eiicd that ! Therefore , if yon allotr them to defeat I you angle-handed , th * y -will call you a faction , and ' not a pasty—a small minority , instead of nearly the ¦ jrfcole . Again , bear in mind that yon have men of ' . year ovra order ; and ah ! here is the damning spot , niti sprating lip-worshipping Democrats . JInst I tell yon your " great fault ? Yes , I must , asd wDL When the trial fairly comes
befsreen tinselled folly and fustianed honour , then are Tf-u isbaEied of yonr own poverty ; then are you jealous c : distinguishing your own order ; and then does rivalry , that demon of discord and foe to liberty , step in and hv-nt your coward souls . Oh . ' Yorkshirenien ! working men of Yorkshire : you who would hold up nearly one million kanda for me on Monday , why hold up one less for Pitkethiey and Haraey , who fully represent me , and who are my brothers in the cause of the people ? But doirt mistake me . I do not mean to chide you with not haTing done your duty , and more ihar . your iu ' - . y . Yas , heaven knows yoa hare , and that the poor man who braves the wupioyer ' s frown
and lose of work , and who is compelled to listen to the howl of poverty from the loTed mother of hjs loved ehii'iren , has far outbid me in the practical workings of Democracy , and has very far outbid their rulers , who prostitute themselves to the support of a clap-trap to maintain office and emolument . Yes , my friends , the last word is the patriot's inducement ; for deprive cS .: e of emolument and tten ysn wonld hare to ballot for Cabinet Ministers and servants of the crown . 0 . ' it is a fearful thing te be compelled to say " either regain willing slaves , or risk all the chances of being nude first mur < = rs asd then martyrs ! " Yes , that is a
-pill fvT the lazy Democrat , who Las an interest in your Earrort , to ewallow ! but , in tie present instance , I can Direct you . Thousands upon thousands will have no a-trrsirive but to appear plumsd ia the feathers of sbvrry oa Monday , and I thank my stars thsi l caa $ zg 2 z £ ' . an alternative f-.-r protecting you against the rich oppressors . Should they attempt to drws you i& the slave market , let all who hava no jlicrnauve but starvation or the slave nark mount the £ rr * jTiarV , and when they mingle in the throng , let " e&ch , like Napoleon ' s old guird , but not from affection , put tie cockade in the bottom of his knapsack , and there leave it , and let all , all , each and all , hold zv both hands against the rich oppresser and for the poor oppressed . Believe me , my friends , that bitw-. ^ a ilorpeth and Milton , and "Worttey anfl
Dinison , there is not a pm ' 3 point fur ysu to choose- They are all , one and all , lice upon the beetle , end systeiE-mude enemies to those whom they hs-Tecre aad sll sold to the tasi-tnasters to relieve their 4 » 2 estates of xhe ' . z 2 eshy burtt € U . Hear , then , my advice , Brc-thers : if yon must appear slaves in our ^ ard isd visible sign , do not be so in inward feeling -, hdd up both hands , mind both , for Pitkethiey ard Hirney . Spread them like the antlers of the rroud stag when he defies the tyrant ' s approach , sii lc-.-ks around for a retreat from his pursuers Da that , and when done , should the Returning USser do as the blind Sheriff of York appears to have done , si . o-. ild he see kid skin and be blind to biisters , f . ' . s tf in one body ; o the rear , and if you are good men and trur , vou will outnumber both factions .
V . j Brothers , these are trying times ; these are times wien rrcsey , intimidation , and inSaence , will be used te T > r ? sa 3 de the people ihat houses , and rot fiesh and bl-j-jd , AKE THE PEOPLE , ARE England's streegth , Er ; l 2 nd ' s wealth , and England ' s glory . Brothers , these , in the true sense of ths words , are "Times to try men ' 3 souls . " This is the jubiiee o ? corruption and monopoly . This ia & period -when those without votes are bu ; somuch felling ttaS in the anti-national wall which tyrants have raised round the city of the oligarchs . You , in this jubilee . baTiiL ? no power , will be mere rpecUtors , and the man w £ o holds his own , without being swayed , allured , or dided by the pomp of power or Ehameil into contempt of poverty and the temporary ineffectiveness of his p » r . y , is the real patriot .
5 ,-sie inen must be for ever oa tke surface and cannoi beir a dip . I can dive with you and remain in the mud with you , and bide n > y time for again rising to the surface . Before this day wetk their triumph wil ] b = over , and ours will begin . Rani pant nsw , in six cays one faction will see its weifcness and deith in its rtTcngtti -, - while the » tter will s * e its resuscitation in the form in Which it committed suicide in 1 S 32 , in our breath acd in the falHraent of its tben plniges .
O brothers , the Tories havs been grest fools , ana Pee " , ias been forced to the stike by the impetuosity of tis hmitry pack , who could sot longer endure the thoughts of the fat Baronet feeding &n the rfy , while they were held bick from the cess-trough .

Brothers , mind , when the jubilee is over , we fall into rank once more . We belong to the non-elective influence , they belong to the elective power , mind that ; and , aboTe all things , bear in mind , that the part which many zealous but incompetent leaders took in the Reform agitation forced them imperceptibly from the head of the people to the tale of the faction ; * nd ahould any of our leaders—not profiting by the le » on—attempt to continue , in earnest or from shame , what they commenced without thought or guilt , then we must let them fall overboard , that is , where the non-electors have taken part with one or other of the factions , for local reasons best known to themselves , and in which they were perfectly justifiable , should they in such cases continue , in consequence , to favour one faction above the other , we must chastise them , by exposing them , when argument shall have failed .
Now , Brotheis , mind Monday next is , 'without any comparison , to be the greatest day tbat eTer Yorkshire saw . . Fustian agsinst broad cloth ! The dignity of nature against the distinction of wealth . ' The cause of the people against their united oppressors ! The poor man standing between the nobles of the land , and appealing to the poor as & jury ! Can any man contemplate a more bent-stirring aeeste ? Can any man bear the torturing reflections which absence must cause . No , no j We have no traitors . But to leave nothing undone , let this be distinctly understood , that every single hand held up for Whig or Tory is held up ftgaiust Chartism . Mind that It wi 21 not do to hop « to place Wortley over Morpeth , or Wilton over Denison , or rice rersa . No , no ; there is the error . Not a Whig or Tory hand will be held up for honest Pitktthly , and honest " Hamey . Not one kid-skin glove for either . Therefore , let not a blister sppear as a vi ' iVing brand by being held up f dt Whig or Tory . Of all things mind that . We are in three parties , and we mast stand alone ; and I implore you to aveid all disruTba-nce and riot . It is a shocking thing to shed Wood , or to lie down with the reflection that we have inflicted a Wound in the heal of blood , even upon an enemy . Keep TOL '
the peace . But should they attack you , let your tactics be , firstly , self-defence , acd instead of knocking offhtads , pluck the birds of their feathers , and thus yon become , like Lord Ross ' s cocks , all on one side , uid won't fight ; but should yon be brutally attacked , you must fight like devils in selfdefence ; and should military aid be called in , upon no account whatever attack , assault , or oppose them , because , believe me , that a quirk of a Tory Attorney-General would turn it into treason , and would implicate the members of every Chartist Association AS ACCESSORIES .
We -trill have tow , for the first time , an opposition in the House of Commons ; and to pu % h them forward must now be our tactics , and down , down , down with the devils in hell , must be our cry . Then , Brothers , on Monday , March , march , Bradford and Halifax , Why , iny lads , dgn't you march forward in order ? Mareii , march , Shtffield and HuJdersSeld , A . I the ga ^ d . Chartists are over the border . Many a bancer spread Fitters above your head , „ Man a crest that is famous in story ; March and make ready , then , Sons of each Yorkshire glen , Fight lor ycurieives , and jour own Charter ' glory . Aad when you come to the ground , let your cry be ^—
Charge , Chartists , charge ; on , Chartists , on . ' Freeman , slave , and ev- - -ry mother ' s sen . Mind , have the white fligs on the hustings , hold up your hands thus—ioth hands—when they , the fl \ gs , are raised from your own Quarters , anO keep ! hfm up till they are lowered ; and that every blister held up orainst the cause of liber : j , justice , truttl , ana tne people , may turn to a cancer or a running sore , is the prayer-of Your friend and brother .
FEARGIS O CONNOfc . P . S . Hurrah for Pitkethly and Harney ! Women , send every man to the hustings ; kick them out of bed , and never let their hands near you again if they put one rivet in your lovely children ' s chains hiss them off to do your work , if they won ' t do their own . Brothers , stand by me and the cause now , and I will stand by you , and tfien see who are the Tories , who the Whigs , and who the Chartists . I will not give in an inch- All who are f « T a coropromist ; let th ? ui strike at once : our battie-cry must now b « " Down -witn theTOR . lZS , andhurrahforthe Charter ? " and once a ^ ain , brother Chartists , let , me caution you against any
violence against man or his property . 1 cannot conceive a more contemptible fool than the silly man who professes to £ 5 'ht the battle of knowledge ? against ignorance , of right against might , and of liberty against tyranny , pointing to seme bruken pines ef glass or deiapidated ruin as his argument . Be assured that force will be Uieir last resource , and what they rely upon cannot be good for you ; while the use of it against you will call fonh such 3 resistance as 1 promise them will very soon silence the cannon ' s roar , and bring them to a proper sense of their weakness , and of the
little value of gunpowder against a thoroughly united people . O ' that every Chartist had the key of his oicn store bouse in his o-. cn pocket , and that store bouss was full of the produce of tlia O ' -fn labonT , and then tj-ranny would lose its strongest Lold upon the poor man ' s service , when the infernal decree , " > o Satubday . night , > o Monday -itoB .

Russia , Prussia , Poland , Germany , Aruerica , Fra : ce , Turkey , Ho'land , or B = ! gium , but in the land of Eng ' . and , Ireland , Scotland and Wales .

BRADFORD . The . election of two representatives for thi 3 borough commenced on Tuesday . At an eaTly hour in the morning the town was all bustle and animation , occasioned by small parties of the adherents of : he several candidates parading the town with bands of music . The usual formalities haviDg -been gone through , Mr . J . Ckofts , the returning officer , after requesting silence , called upon those who had candidates to propose to put them in nomination . Mr . Oxl ^ f proposed Mr . William Busfeild , cf Upwood , which was seconded by Mr . R . Mil-Vlr * M . Thompson next nominated Mr . Joan Hardy ' which ^ vas seconded by Mr . C . AckRoyd .
, Mr . T . Hill proposed Mr . W ;]] iam Cunliff . ? L s er and was secoud ' td by Mr- G . Hanson . Mr . J . Clakkson , solicitor , proposed Mr . William Mania as a fit and proper person to represent the borouzh of Bradford in Parliament . He was a nat've ' of persecuted Ireland , a freeman of the city of Dublin , vrho was born and bred within the precincts of the Dublin University , and ^ who received his finished education in three of tne V > hig universities in England-to wit , ^ ork Castle , > orthallertou House of Correction , acd Lancaster Castle . ( Loud cheers , and laughter . ) He was one of the 4 ( 10 WnieTictims who one and all would by and by thanks
become candidates for their suffrages . Many were due to the Whig Administration for educating so manj men in the school of politics ; but , although the universities in which his friend had had the honour to be educated were something like what ; he Whig Ministry and their Whig commissioners had recently caused to be erected in different parts of tne kingdom , under & different name , and though the silent system was inculcated in the viniversme * which Mr . 3 Iartin had recently visited , yet he , like many oihers , had been enabled to follow cut his own peculiar studies .

Mr . Busp £ ild rested his claims to their support upon the manner in which he had attended to their interests in the Parliament which had just been dissolved , and to the honest , straightforward manner in whien he had performed his duty . Mr . Habdt delivered a long Tory speech . Mr . W . C . Lister was next called upon by the returning officer to ezpiaiu hn sentiments to the assembled multitude . He spoke of the distress which he had witnessed during his canvass , and said it was the duty of every mau to exert himself to bring about a better state of things . If there was
one principle that he held more strongly than anoiher , it wa * that all government existed for the benefit of the whole eommuuity ; that it existed not for the aggrandizement of , or ior the sake ol conferring privilege upon , the few at the expense of the many , but for the benefit of all . if elected , he would go to Parliament independent of party , not to support this or that set of men , but to support those measures , and those only , which he thought most conducive to their * welfare- Ho spoke for a considerable time upon matters of rather a local ihim general interest .
Mr . W » , Martin , the Chartist candidate , next presented himsBlf , and was received with great enthusiasm . He said it was admitted that the not £ electors bad a constitutional privilege—that of hoW ing up their hands in behall of any candidate who might be nominated . As one of the working classes he had t | e honour of being nominated by a professional man , and seconded b-y a working man . If they would listen to what he had to say ho thought he could clearly prove that he was neither the advocate of the Tories nor of the Whi < 3 . ( Hear and cheers . ) Sir i \ Burdett ouce remarked that the people of this country were crucified between two thieves , namely , the Whiga and Tories . Now he ( Mr . M . ) happened to stand in the centre , but he was
not afraid oi either Whigs or Tories ; because he knew the working classes po-se ^ sed an amount of intelligence which would enable them to act for themselres . The veil oi' ignurance was rent asunder by the game played by the Whig Ministry . ( Loud cheers , and ye . low groans . ) If ihero was a working man present who thought he was not capable of exercising a vote , nor worthy of one , let him declare himself against him ( Mr . Martin . ) Why was he ( Mr . M . ) confined in a Whig dungeon for advocating Universal Suffrage ? Why was Bronterre O Brien confined in a Whig dungeon ? Because he taught the people real politics , and because he taught that honest politics [ meant plenty of meat , driuk , clothes , and a comfortable lodging—not a
lodging in a bastile—( loud cheers)—not a lodging in a station-house , there to be corrected by the rural police , who had been appointed by the Whigs to protect what!—the lives and property of the rich . iNow surely the Whigs had got a very bad opinion of the working classes of this country if they imagined them to be robbers aud murderers . He asked the working classes if they would steal the property of the rich man if they had plenty of food ? ( Crus of " No . " ) For what had the laws relating to property been made ? To protect the bishops , the landed aristocrats , the Manufacturers , or the producers of all wealth ? Was it likely that a bishop would commit a robbery , a landed aristocrat steal a sheep to feed his family .
or a manufacturer steal a few yards of cotton to make a gown for his wife ? ( Loud cheers . ) Then they who created all property were the working bees , who produced the honey , but they were plundered of it by the middle classes and the aristocrats , who devoured the greatest portion of it . Could he but bnng into the field the united action and numbers of the workiHg population , he knew the Whigs would then soon come down on their marrow bones . ( Cheers and laughter . ) He was of opinion that if the Tories were to offer a £ 5 suffrage , the Whigs , for the sake of retaining office , would bid a suffrage of £ i 103 . Whenever the base Whigs could have the support of the Tories
they invariably chose to truckle to them rather than invoke the people , but now when the Tories cry out and spit upon them , they made use of the cry of cheap bread , " to enable them to obtain a majority by which they might continue to plunder the people . Something had been said about church rates . But had not the Whigs ( who , by the bye , wished to present the already well-fed parrons with something in lieu of church rates)—had they not an opportunity , when plundering the bishopric of Durham , which plunder they gave to the Bishop of jKipou , to have given it to the poor , instead of a mitred huntsman ? Let the dissenters thiub of that . He would draw
attention to another act of the Whigs , the Factory Bill . ( Cheers . ) The Whigs , at the time when they set at liberty the full-grown negroes , were forging manacles for little factory infants , and these were the advocatej of good government and suffering humanity . Another act of the Whigs was that which they had doue but the other day , that of turning Lord Plunkett out of office to make way for Sir John Campbell , so as to enable him tt » letiro with a pension of £ 4 , ooo a-year . ( Hear . ) The Whigs pretended to hate the Tories , bat how was it that the Whigs and Tories acted together when any question affecting the wellare of the people was brought into the house ? He ( Mr . Martin ) was the individual who caused the motion relative
to the incarceration of the Chartists novv dying in horrid Whig dungeons , aod this being the case , he thought it ought to be some recommendation of him to be sent to Parliament to advocate their cause . During the five years before the Reform Bill passed the surplus revenue amounted to more than twelve miiiions , whilst for the last fiveyear 3 there had been a deficiency of nearly seven millions . How had this deficiency been created ! By the appointment of Whig commissions and adding to the pension list . Had they not created useless places ? Talk of people being paupers ! They never talked of the Countess of Mulgrave and the Marchioness of Normanby receiving pensions of £ B , OUO a year . No doubt after the present election , when the Whigs saw both
bides of the House pretty equally balanced , they would make a coalition with the Tories . He must , give the Tones credit for honesty of opinion . ( Groans from the Yellows ) Tney did not tell them one thing and mean anoher . Tne Whig 3 viere like E > au -and here he was sorry to see so many of his irL-h fellow countrymen assimilating that character —who would sell their birthright for a mess of pottage . The Whig 3 were like rowers on the river Thames—they rowed ore way and looked another They acted in the great river of reform as Liberal mariners , running the national vessel on a sand-bauk , and nearly destroying it—at least they destroyed their own reputation as British sailors ; and it was admitted that they were not fit to bo tiusted with
the management of the good ship " Britannia" any longer . ( Ureat cheering . ) Hi 3 Hon . Friei . d—and reaily he was happy to say that he had made a much better speech than he ( lir . M . ) thought he could have done—his friend Mr . Lister said the Government existed for the people . He ( Mr . Mj denied it . Mr . Lister oujjht to have learned the English Grammar before ho uttered that sentence . Government did not exist for the people , but ought to exist for their benefit . Mr . Lister ii ; ain f ollowed it up by saying that the Government his beenma-ieto exi ^ t for the aggrandisement of any party . He ( Mr . M . ) maimameu mat the Government had been made to exist for the agggrandisement of the Whigs , who had made a stepping
bione of the people to enrich themselveB . The WhigB talked of giving the people employment by exporting good 3 to other countries , at the time when the greatest part of their own population were nearly naked . They talked of finding the people work , when tome of them were working sixteen or eighteeu hours a day . Did any of those woolcombers who had got the blood-stained orange ilag know this ? Did any of those Irishmen before him who disgraced themselves b / hoisting the yellow banner , pet anything by it I An advocate of free trade in Bradlord had lately set up eighteen combiflg machines , aad ene of them did as much work as eighteen labourers . What those free-traders wanted was to eive employment to their machines , and not
to give labour and food to the people . ( Immense cheering . ) If the Whigs and Tories were not united , would Mr . Lister have voted for a Tory ? What was the difference in voting for a Tory candidate at an election , or a Tory speaker in the House of Commons ? Who voted for Manners Sutton in the first reformed Parliament when Cobbett and others spoke against him ? The Whigs . Who was it that raised a monument to Pitt . The Whige . Who paid Pitt ' s debts out of he taxes ! The Whigs . Who brought in a bill 0 enable Lord Grenville to hold two situations at once , ; 8 first Lord of the Treasury and Auditor
of the Exchequer ! The Whigs . Who in 1833 passed a coercion bill for Ireland ! The " base , bloody and brutal Whigs V ( Tremendouscheering . ) Go back to 1833 and find out who it was thai votea Adelaide £ l ( K > , 000 a-year , and , in 1840 , wanted to vote £ 50 , 1 ) 00 a-year to Albert ? The Whigs . The cry of husband and wifa of the murdered YiCtiluS in duageons—the cry of Frost , Williams , and Jones was raised against the Whig 3 . ( Loud cheers . ) Aa an humble individual he would sooner Bee such men as Castlereagh and Sidmouth in office than such as Melbourne and Russell . After stating the measures he would support if returned , he concluded

by stating ho had a right to take his seat if a poll were not demanded , and hoped that the Tories and Chartists would act together to destroy the Wnigs , and then they would obtain their rights . A show of hands was then taken in favour of each candidate , in the order they were nominated . The preponderance was decidedly in favour of Mr . Hardy and Mr . Martin , aad it was so declared by the Returning Officer . A poll was demanded on behalf of Mr . Bosfeild and Mr . Lister , and appointed to commence on Wednesday ; and the assemblage peaceabi separated . Martin was enthusiastically cheered during the eT « ning .
SHREWSBURY . The nomination of candidates took plaee on Monday There was a splendid show of lligs aud banners , blue and white , belonging to the Tory candidates , who Were accompanied by an excellent band . The Whig candidates , SiT Lo ^ ft Parry and Mr . O . Temple , exhibited a most wretched turn out , and they were escorted principally by the factory slaves from Marshall ' s factory , who ware permitted to have a half-bolyday with the understanding that a day ' s wages should be stopped . The Tqffea were first at tbe scene of action . ' . $ ir Love Parry drove up to the nomination staoii in in a carriage-aBdVfour , accompanied by the notoriotu Rev , Charles Leicester . lyir . Temple modestly appeared in A- carriage-and-pair , containing a Mr . Clement , a surgeon , and Mr . Miller , a once brh fleas barrister and now retired from the bar . The number of persons present may be fairly estimated at 4000 .
The Mayor , Mr . J . Loxnale , addressed the meeting in a very impartial manner , and requested that all parties might have a hearing , and that the peace of the town might not be disturbed , for if it were , he and bis brother magistrates bad determined to do thtir duty . My . Burton , jun ., banker , proposed Mr . D'Israeli . Sir . J . Edilowea seconded tbe nomination . Captain Mucklesttme proposed Mr . TomUne , and alluded in strong terms to the conduct of Government in dissolving upon a particular question when they were in a minority in the House of Commons . Mr . Watkins seconded the nomination of Captain Mucklestone . The Rev . C . Leicester proposed , and Mr . P . Yardley seconded , Sir Love Parry . Mr . Miller proposed , and Mr . W . Clement seconded , Mr . C . Temple .
Mr . D'Israeli addressed the electors at great length , and completely laid bare the whole conduct of Government , and refuted tbe , anonymous attacks that the Whig par ty had circulated agahathim . The calumnies that bad been issued against him were best refuted by his presence on the hustings . iLoud and continued cheers . ) He was not only on tha hustings , but he told them he would be their member . ( Renewed cheers . ) Mr . D'Israeli made some happy hits respecting the cheap bread bugbear , and inquired if cheap Government , of which the Whigs had pratsd so loudly , consisted in shoals of commissionerships created for briefless barristers , if the Pool Law were in accordance with the wishes of the people , and if an increase of taxation and a bankrupt Exchequer spoke well of the cheap
Government of the Reformed Ministry . After referring , in terms of the strongest cofldence to the success of himself and friend , the Hon . Gentleman concluded amidst loud cheers from ( the Conservatives , and cries of disapprobation from the factory slaves . Mr . Tomline expressed his unqualified disgust at the conduct of Ministers , who , at the eleventh hour , took up a question upon theory to agitate the country , and assured the candidates in the Whig interest , that before twenty-four hours elapsed they would require the utmost speed of their horses to remove them fr « m the scene of their defeat , for such it would be .

POHTEFRACT—Mojuuy . ... The candidateefor this bwrough are R . M . Milnes , Ha <| .. late Conserratire Member for the borough ; IjiWd Pollington , the new ConservatiTe candidate ; and Jobn Gully , Esq ., formerly M . P . for iontefraci . Honrv Taylor , Esq ., Recorder of Pontefraot , proposed Mr . Milnes ; Mr . Carter , of Knottingley , seconded the motion . WilHam Hepworth&nd Robert Smith , Esqrs . proposed Lord Pollington . Mr , Win . Monkhouse ,. seconded By Mr . Mackson , proposed Mr . Gully .

They also elicited loud cheers by declaring that they would labour for an abolition of that part of the New Poor Law which , refuses au-t-door relief , and separates man and wife .
Mr . Gully defended the free trade , and reminded the electors that he , too , had voted against the New Poor Law bastiles . The show of hands was in favour of Mr . Gully . The poll opens to-morrow . The presumption is strongly in favour of both Conservatives . Mr .

The proceedings on the hustings were carried on in dumb show , for neither High Constable , nor mover nor seconder , nor candidate , was heard six feet from
the spot where each gentleman stood ; nay , so great was the noise occasioned by shouting , and hissing , a , nd huzzaing , we doubt much whether they heard their own voices . Before the precept or Bribery Act was read , a gentleman on . the hustings near whom we stood , said , " I doubt very much whether the speeches will be listened to ; " a pretty good proof that there was something like concert in this matter , and that the plan of confusion had been previously resolved upon . Be that is it may , such was the fact as we have stated . It is , hotvever , but fair to add that there was more of good than iil-humour manifested , and beyond a few struggles between the flagbearers for the best positions , nothing of party strife was exhibited in front of the hustings , and when the dumb show had terminated , the parties , with their bands , proceeded to the committee-rooms , and thence they paraded and played through the principal streets for the remainder of the day .
Mr . Barnard was proposed and seconded by Mr . Vowler and Mr . George Smith . Capt . D ' undas was nominated and seconded by Mr . Harwood and Capt . Fead . Sir G . Coekburn was proposed by Sir Thomas Maryan Wilson , and seconded by Mr . C . Enderby . The show of hands having been declared by the returning officer in favsur of Mr . Barnard aud Capt . Dundas , a poll was demanded by Sir George Cockburn , to commence at eight this morning and close at four . The whole proceedings , from the reading of the precept to the granting the poll , did not occupy more than about an honr .
During the proceedings a heavy shower of rain fell , but it cooled not the ardour of the mal-contents , for they continued to pour out their vociferations with as much vehemence—even , if possible , with moreas when the sun shone forth brilliantly , and enlivened the scene . CAN TERBUR Y—Tuesday .
