      Shrewsbury. 1 The Election Of Two Member...

      SHREWSBURY . 1 The election of two members for tbe borough of iibihrewsbury commenced on Wednesday , July 28 tb , i jyiy the nomination of three candidates by the Tory , i V # hig , and Protectionist parties . MrTomline the old i iSfioemher , -was put forward by tae Peelite Tones ; Mr ishSlaney , who has contested this borough five times , ivavas brought forward Hy the Liberals , heaven save liiem ; and a Mr Baldock , an importation from Loniloion , hawking "High Church , « No Popery , ' and Protectionist wares , was proposed by thei Protecttonstst party , who are in high rage with Mr romline . he mutTing , with Sir R . PeeL struck a treacheront Wow it it tbat patriotic and disinterested pwty . MrSlaney , "frho by the marriage of Ms daughters into some Tory ¦ uamilies of local distinction , has ingratiated himself amongst that factionwas proposed by the Hon . T .

      , ielenyon , Tory , seconded by Mr Wm . Clement , a bbcc naming radical , and won the show of hands by 11 large majority- Mr Tomline next ; and Mr Baliolock , of wonderful oratorical powers , of ' High JEhurcV * No Popery , ' and Protectionist principles , aeceived bat a small share of public favour . The loolliag commenced on the following morning , and lifter a keen and unscrupulous contest , bribery and raeating being the order of the day , Mr Baldock , the laero of protection , was at the head of tbe poll by a aaajorityof 23 , Mr §!§ ney winning his election bj She small number of 4 votes ! over Mr 'f Sjnline . Mr JSlaney , who professes great regard for the welfare 6 » & he working classes and is favourable for all safe re-Borms , had a great number of plumpers , and numbers ihf split votes from the Protectionism , who would do anything , however inconsistent , to oust Mr Tomline .

      DERBI ELECTION . . The nomination of candidates to represent the bomragh of Derby in Parliament , took place on Friday ¦ nreek , in the Guildhall , at nine o'clock . Mr P . Fox proposed , and Mr Saunders seconded , tthe nomination of the Right Hon . Edward Strait , •¦ amidst great uproar . Mr Wm . Evass proposed , and Mr Moss seconded , ( the Bomination of Mr Cower , amidst great conj fusion . Mr Lewis -imposed , and Dr Heygate seconded , the iBomination of Mr Raikes , Conservative .

      Tbe Rev . W . F . Poke ( Baptist minister ) rose to propose Mr Philip M'Grath as a fit person to represent the borough . Mr Poile spoke ia a very animated manner fer some time amidst loud and genetil cheering . Mr Grose seconded the nomination , and delivered an excellentspeecb , exposing the villainous doings of the Whigs in general , and Mr Edward Strutt in particular . Mr Gawihobke proposed , and Mr Spurgeon seconded , the nomination of Mr Morley . Mr Sihutt theaaddressed the electors amidstconeiderable confusion , fie was received with cheers from his own immediate party , and with groans and hisses from the body of the hall . He delivered one of his meal Whig speeches .

      Mr Gowee declared himself in favour of vote by by ballot , extension of the suffrage , and of shortening the duration of parliaments , but added that the Chartists acd Tories were united , and the political ingratitude oi the former was proverbial . Mr RiiKEB rested bis claims to represent Derby chiefly on his determination to resist the endowment ef the Roman Catholic Church . Mr M'Grath , on rising to address the meeting , was -received with tremendous cheers , lie said at that late hoar he did not deem it prudent to occupy their time at any length , bnt as he appeared before them as a candidate to represent them within the walls of St Stephen ' s , he hoped they would bear with him for a few moments , whilst be endeavoured to explain

      his political opinions . Be came before them with a alur on his character , having been charged with coming to Derby for the purpose of aiding and assisting the Tories , and having ken brought thereby Tory cold , which charge heindipantly repelled . ( Cheer * . ) fis might impute the same motive to Mr Leveson Gower . ( Cheer--. : } Hecate there as fto advn ^ cf civil and religious liberty . _ He did not want time to consider his principles ; his mind was made ap on that point . He had stood in the gallery ofthe Bouse of Commons , and heard speeches delivered which contained neither wit , reason , norcommonsense , and the Speeches delivered by the two Dissenting ministers that dav , contained more eloquence and reason , and

      displayed more intellectual power , than any f core of speeches delivered in the House of Commons ! He then alluded iu strong terms to the separation of Church and State , and made some remarks on the ambiguity ot the observations that bad fallen from Mr Strutt and Mr Gower upon this point . Be went on to say that the fundamental doctrines of the Church of England were entirely opposed to compelling parties differing from them upholding that ehurcb , and he hoped , ere long , that the walls of St Stephen ' s would ring with that topic . ( Cheer- ? . ) The Roman Catholic asserted his infallibility , but the Protestant did not , and allowed any one to read the Bible , be his religion Catholic , Jew , or Mahomedan , er any other , and draw from it their own

      conclusions ; and he would pat it to air Strutt , whether a system which compelled one portion of the com munity to pay for the maintenance and support of the religious opinions of another , contained either equity orjustice . ( Loud applause . ) Mr M'Grath then went on to notice a speech of Mr Strati ' s which he had made a few evenings previous in the Mechanics * Ball , npon the principles ef Church and State , stating that the cause of purity of religion of the Established Church was iu consequence of its connexion with the State . Be , for one , considered that a greater insultcouldnot beofiered to the Deity , than to maintain such an opinion . Be contradicted Mr S'ratt ' a remarks , that , if the Church of England was separated from the State , it would entail more

      misery on the people . Be was opposed to the Educational Scheme proposed by the government , and firmly believed they had so right to interfere with the education ofthe people ; maintaining that parents ought to have the same control over the education of their children as they had in food and raiment . ( Cheers ) They had heard a good deal about slavery in America , and he deprecated this horrible system ; but whilst they taxed the Americans with upholding it , they should sot forget that this country taught it to them . The Americans were getting heartily sick of this system , and within the last few years several of the States had abolished it . { Cheers . ) In alluding to the deplorable condition of the people of Ireland , who were boasted of as

      being a free people , and living under the sway of a nation which was lauded as being the admiration and glory ofthe world , Mr M'Grath said the slaves of Antigua had susbcribed money for their relief . The next question was the suffrage , the right of enjoying which had been most beautifully and even sublimely argued by the rev . gentleman who had proposed him ( Mr M'Grath ) that day . Mr Strutt , ia common with other Whigs , argued that the fran chise was a trust , and not a right , but he ( Mr M'Grath ) contended it was a right ; and he had sever heud itproved that all men were sot born equal—were not accounted equal—by God , or did of the law Cheers

      sot aland equal in the eye . ( . ) The Whi- * 3 contended that the franchise should be extended to the people only in proportion to tie advancement of education aud knowledge , but he ( Mr M'Grathl had stated on previous occasions that the intelligence of tbepeop le was often m advance of the government ; and he would again assert that it was ae , instancing , as an example , the Catho is fcmanci . pation , and the Free-trade Bills , which were conceded to by Tory cabinets ; but the people were convinced ofthe inutility and injustice of those laws for sometime previous to their abolition . ( Cheers . ) He was prepared to vote for the mitigation of the criminal code , for he was convinced that it wai harsh and

      unchristian ; and he was decidedly adverse to the use of the gallows . ( Cheers . ) Mr M'Grath then went on to speak , of tho New Poor-law , saying thai Jte could not understand Mr Strutt when he said he was i-optBed to the aged people iu the workhouse beinff * eDar : t ""P & weut w th « House of Com-» ons and vow ^ f % ™ <*' * - .

      house ; and he would not leave anything to ihe discretion of the guardians . After dwelling at considerable length upon the propriety of extending the suffrage , and indignantly denying the calumny propagated by his opponents , that he was a Socialist , Mr M'Grath concluded , amidst tremendous applause , by say ing that he hoped and trusted that the manner in which they fulfilled their duty in sending a representative to the House of Commons would redound to their credit , and that they would send a man who would advocate measures which were calculated to advance the great cause of human progression . The Rev . J . Gawthobnb having withdrawn Mr Morley whom be had nominated : —

      The Maior called for a show of hand ? , cautioning all present who were not electors not te interfere . 'We made , ' says the Derby Mercury , « a very careful eiamition of tbe Hall during this proceeding , and we give the following as the decided conviction of our own mind : — For llr Strntt about 80 hands were held up . For Mr Gower about 70 . For Mr Raikes at least ISO , and For Mr M'Grath about 180 : And jet the Mayor chose to declare the show ef hands to be in favour of Mr Strutt and Mr Sower . We will venture to say there was not an individual ont of the immense assembly present—whether political friend or foe—who was not utttrly astonished at the decision , so thoioughly contrary as it was to tha fact . A poll was demanded on hehalf of Mr Raikes and Mr M'Grath , and the business of tbe nomination terminated .

      The polling commenced on Saturday , and terminated in the return of Messrs Strutt and Gower . Tbe iollowinic are the numbers polled according to the mayor ' s declaration : — Mr Strutt MO Mr Gower ... ... ... 852 Mr Raikes 800 MrM'Grath 2 M

      SOUTH LANCASHIRE . Mr Yilliers , late member for Wolverhampton , and Mr Brown ,-tbe late member , were on Wednesday elected for this division of Lancashire . Mr Brown , in the course of bis speech , argued long and strongly against the Ten Hours' Bill . To him and his class 5 per cent , constitutes the be-all and end-all of human society . DUMFRIES DISTRICT OF BURGHS . Mr W . E-vart was re-elected on Monday without opposition . In answer to questions put by an elector , Mr Swart stated tbat he was not , under existing circumstances , disposed to vote for the People ' s Charter ; that be would vote against any further endowment to religious bodies ; and was favourable to a gtadual change of taxation by customs and excise to property and ineom * .

      BUCKINGHAMSHIRE . The election took place on Wednesday , when Mr Du Pre , Mr Cavendish , and Mr Disraeli , were declared to be the members . Mr J . Gibbs , auctioneer and farmer , was proposed , and made a speech , but did not demand a poll .

      GREENWICH . On Thursday , the nomination for this borough took place . The candidates were Admiral Pandas , and Mr Barnard , the late members , Mr D . Salomons , and Mr Kydd , Chartist . The show of hands for Mr Kydd was immense , and the returning officer declared the election to have fallen upon him and Mr Salomons . Another victory for Chartism ! CIASE 03 ? IBB POLL . Dundas ... 2 , 465 Barnard 1 , 562 Salomons 1 , 248 MARYLEBONE .

      The nomination of candidates to represent this borough in the next Parliament took place at three o ' clock , on Thursday afternoon , at the upper end of Portland-place , near the Regent ' s-park ; where a very large and , for the most part , respectable , body of persons had assembled sometime before the appointed hour ; the windows and balconies of the surrounding houses being also filled with well-dressed ladies ; and we should not omit to state that tbe platform itself wasgraced by the appearance of many of the softer sex .

      Mr flovenden proposed , and Mr Smart seconded , Sir B . Hall , the late member . Mr Kempstead and Mr Hyde nominated Sir J . Hamilton , the Conservative . Mr J . Wood and Mr Bramwall , moved Mr Serjeant Shee . Mr Daniell and Mr Cassell nominated Lord Dudley Stuart . The peculiar feature of this election , however , was the appearance of the venerable leader of Socialism , as a candidate . Air Li / oyd Joses appeared to propose Mr R-ibert Owen . ( Cheering . ) In proposing that gentleman , it was not his intention , especially in the excited state of tbe meeting * , to say anything offensive to either of the other candidates . He believed , if any good could be done upon these occasions , it must be by a calm statement of true principles , and by a calm

      deliberationupon those principles , on tbe part ofthose who were called upon to vote . Mr Owen had never shrunk from the ordeal of public inquiry ; and it was pot by any sort of political tergive ¥ K * Uon , hot from the attention he considered to be due to right principles , and his desire to carry them out , tbat he « ished to be a member of the legislature , lie ( Mr Jones ) proposed Mr Owen , because he had been the agitator , and founder , and carrier out of the infant school system ( cheers ); because ^ he insisted that every British-born subject was entitled to the highest education the state could afford him ; and also because he had been the originator of the agitation for shortening labour in factories ( cheering ) at a time

      when he stood alone . He had declared , when there was an agitation for the abolition of the duty on raw cotton , that he would not advocate that measure , unless a portion of the benefit wasconferred open the working pecple . He ( Mr Jones ) admitted that Mr Owen bad no parliamentary career to look back upon : but- why shonld tbey expect less from the declaration and pledges of MrOwen than if they sent members to parliament who were men of lath aud plaster ? For these reasons , he proposed that gentleman as a man prepared and able to argue for the rights of the people , and the general interests of the empire . ( Much cheering . ) Mr Williams , iu a few words , seconded the

      nomination . The other candidates having addressed the assembly , the Times thus reports the conclusion ot the proceedings : — Mr R . Owen was the fourth candidate , and on presenting himself was received with every mark of respect by all parties . ^ He told the people that he had come frem America on purpose to see whether something permanent could not be done , first ef all for Ireland , and then for the working classes of this country . ( Cheers . ) What was chiefly required w . is the education ofthe people . Many years ago he gave his support to the Lai . casterian school system , and also to the ajstem introduced by Dr Bell , both of which finally agreed on admitting into the schools

      the children of all religious denominations . By educating their children , an enlightened public opinion would be created . The next great want was employment . This was a subject which ought to enter into the consideration of the government much more than it appeared to do . He hoped the government would form arrangements which shonld give beneficial employment to every individual in the two islands who could not find employment for themselves . He could not understand the policy or the justice of compelling industrious individuals , who Wished to be employed in creating wealth , to remain idle when tbey could create more wealth than would support them . Wore he to have a seat in the House of Commons .

      what he would reiterate would be , tbat it was tbe duty of the Legislature to make arrangements so that there should not be one British child allowed to be brought up in ignorance , bad habits , and under vicious and inferior circumstances ; and , in the next place , that there should never be at any timeone individual willing to work who should not bave productive employment provided for him . Until the people were educated they would never be able to enjoy freedom of election ; for the educated classes would always keep them down and oppress them : It was , therefore , impolitic and most unwise on the part of the Dissenters to oppose that amount of education which the government proposed to give . The

      birthright of every man in society was , that the government should make arrangements by which he might bo well fed , well clothed , well lodged , and well educated . But how was that to be done ? He believed every one ofthe candidates would willingly make such arrangements if they knew how . He had been a practical man for fiftyyeara ; and he had all tbemeasuresprepared-they were ready cut and dried , by which the government could with ease obtain these four objects . These beneficial results could not be obtained except by one simple plan . Mr Owen was about to explain his plan , but the patience of his auditors had become exhausted ; aud amidst very good-humoured crieaof " Oh ! Robert I" and " Time time ! " the worthy gentleman withdrew . '

      The Returning Officer then called for a show of hands . For Sir B . Hall there was a good display ; a less number tor Sir J Hamilton ; a larger for Mr Serjeant Shee ; a very fair number for Lord Dudley Stuart , and ( to our apprehension ) thelargest number for Mr Owen . The Returning Officer declared the

The meeting was held in a large shop , which was fitted up fur the occasion with evergreens ' , & c . Upon the motion of Mr Hillyer , seconded by Mr Moore , of Hinton , Mr Milford took the chair , which he filled in an able manner , and introduced Mr Saunders in a neat brief speech . Mr Saunders tben came forward and addressed the meeting for one hour and three quarters , in an enthusiastic manner , which was only interrupted by the applause and loud responses of the working classes , which cheered on the lecturer for a lonrer period than was intended . He challenged opposition from any one , but especially invited those

      who had busied themselves in circulating calumnious reports respeciiug Mr O'Connor and the Land Company , to come forward and let the forking men present be the jury to decide ; bnt no one hud the temerity to come forward to taint the pure atmosphere of liberty with his wretched calumnies . ' At the close Messrs Marshall and Hillyer proposed a vote of thanks to the lecturer , and three cheers for Mr O'Connor , which were enthusiasticall y given , again aad again ; the meeting then broke up , and Mr Saunders enrolled several new members , which now makes upwards of twenty members in that little

      village . Too much praise canno , be given to Messrs Meoreand Harris for their exertions in getting up the meeting , ' nor to the others who assisted them . The responses of the working men corroborating what the lecturer advanced , were such as would have cheered the heart of our General O'Connor . Mr Saunders , jun , is unanimously nominated as a delegate to Conference for the Brighton district , and respectfully solicits the suffrages of his brother landsmen of the district . Eleven shillings and threepence was sent iu the last week for Mr O'Connor ' s election expenses , and two shillings and ninepence was collected last evening for the same purpose .
