" THE ELECTIONS . STAMFOHDThe nomination took place on Satcrdny . The candidates were the Right Hon . J . Hetties , and Sir F . Thesiger . The Mayor then asked if there was any other voter present who -wished to propose a candidate ? After a pause of a few minutes , and no one being named , The Mator declared the Right lion . J . C . Herries and Sir Frederick Tiiesiger as duly elected members for the borough of Stamford . The members then addressed the electors , praising Derby and " our glorions institutions , " and abusing Free Trade , Radicalism , and Democracy . TTTT ? . Ti'T . T ( 'rVT rrYWft
Sir F . Thesiger was received with continued clamour and hooting . To one noisy fellow he angrily said— "I suppose th . t man wants a big loaf ; I wish he bad one in his throat ; " that remark increased the noise . In the course of his speech he said : —• ' I consider the late administration guilty of the greatest inconsistency , when they proposed bring ing in a bill to give the right of voting to all renting a dwelling in boroughs at tha annual charge of £ 5 . ( " And right it should be so . If" it was , you would soon have to cut your slicks from Stamford , " was cried out from the crowd . ) They said that nearly all boroughs with £ 10 votci s were bribed . If b \ what would be the case if it was fixed at £ 5 ? 1 < lo not beiieve in the assertion made in the house bv the late cabinet—in the general bribery in boroughs . The Whigs only proposed this to preserve themselves from inevitable ruin . Then as to the Militia Bill proposed by them , it was rejected with scorn after being
framed aid altered to plense various sections of their supporters , till at length the la < £ " straw hrolio the camel ' s back . " That and the government hotfs fell together , and I sincerely hope they mar never rise again , i" No doubt you do . "' ) After their reVigmtion a meeting was called of democrats and other members < f . ietennined conduct to discuss the destructive vie'"a of JI > j « rs . Col ; den and Bright —jumping from bad to wors ;— rivocating the most extreme views an'l politic ? , destructive to the constitution . ( No , no . ) It now remains to be shown whether Free Trade as propoanded by the Radical school , or progressive reform as we profess , shall be triumphant . The fatal issue aw . ii s you—whether C ^ erra-ism , which advocates all that's really u efu !—or Radicalism , which is for upholding destructive errors— . shall prevail ; whether we s ' ia'l be suf > fered t » cany out measures adequate to new wants and new necessities—or whether another p-. rty shall succeed us , who wll ! rusU on Ucedlesslv to <» atruttion and democracy ? A code
of laws was formed and reecmsummsted in 168 S , which remains the guide and foundnfon cf our present government , with such alterations from time to time as lias made this country creat and powerful . Let those be in power who will guard tl . at sacred edifice . ( " Not Derby ! " ) Will you give it to those men who w : U well support , it , or to those who follow wicked «' evices—to those who will endeavour to adapt it to ihe various ^ ants of the people , or to others who would sre the structure crumble into dust , without the least attrmpt to preserve the same ? [ Ilere an attempt was made to pull down the hustings , which drove all from the balcony , and the reporters from the box below the learned speaker just having time to say , " Evermore thanks to you for the honour you have done me this day by electing me as one of your representatives . " ] The two members and their friends hastily retreated to the George Hole ! , in the borough , where a vete of thanks io the Mavor was proposed and carried .

CITY OF DUBLIN . The polling commenced at the various booths at eight 0 clock on Saturday morning ; but , long before that hour , the streets were kept alive with the noise of cars and vehicles of every description laden with electors , and flyin " with hot haste to tho various points selected for the great and final struggle between tho two powerful factions . Tho Court-house m Green-street was set apart for the use of the freemen , being in themselves a host , and , if united , almost sufficient to turn the scale in favour of whatever party might be fortunate enough to win their good graces . From the commencement they mustered in considerable force , ami for the first hour they showed themselves true to their old colours , four-fifths or more having , before nine o ' clock recorded their votes for Messrs . Vance and Grogan . Great delay was occasioned by the agents indiscriminately administering to every freeman the bribery and personation of oaths ; and , but for the precaution of tho aUetiff in providing no less than eighteen booths for this class of electors it would have been utterly impossible to poll half tbeir number within the time prescribed by law . At eleven o ' clock the coal-porters ( the old body-guard of tho Corn Exchange ) paraded on Burgh-quay , and , after being inspected by their apppointed leaders , trooped off in detachments to the several polling-plaoe * . All these men had struck work for the day , nor would they permit others to work hi that stead ; and aU carts attempting to pass down tho Coal-quay were , with . their drivers , unceremoniously twvnert bnck , _ with threats of rough handling in the event of con-cotipliance . Every available policeman was on duty during ; the day ; and the authorities took every possible means to presorvo order . Tho return at the close of the poll ( five oVock ) was — Reynolds . Grogan .

( Hisses , groans , and uproar in the course of which a lad in the crowd bestrode a placard representing a donkey , which was raised above the hands of the assemblage and vehemently gesticulated his disapprobation of tho hon . baronet amid convulsive shouts of lauehter from all sides . ) No doubt the man riding the donkey was the most enlightened member of his party The Sheriff interposed to order the offensive board to be removed , but his mandate was unheeded for some time Sir J . TiaBLL . —In conclusion , if they returned him to Parliament , he would do his best for . tho agricultural interest , at the same time that he would resist those dangerous innovations by which Lord John Has sell and his new allies , Messrs .

Beresford then stood forward to address the assemblage , when the uproar and clamour reached its climax . The hooting and yellins was eo terrific and incesrant as to keep the proceedings at a standstill for about ten minutes . Mr . Beresford then proceeded , with frequent interruptions , which rendered his observations very indistinct to those who stood closest to him , to speak nearly as follows : —Freeholders of North Essex , I address myself to you and I do not solicit " the sweet voices" of those who are ' not electors , but who are causing all this disturbance to-day . It devolves upon you to e'ect two members to serve you in Parliament . Tou have a right to elect whom the freeholders choose and not whom the rabble choose ... ( Tremendous excitement and uproar . ) I appeal to the ' freeholders , to the land owners , and to the clergy of North Essex , who I am sure will return me in spite of your brawls . ( Great confusion . ) I despis& . vou from my heart as the vilest rabb ! e * I ever saw . ( Groans , yells , and hisses . ) Mr . Hardcastle next addressed the meeting in behalf of Mr . Lennard , who was absent , and received a very patient hearing from the multitude . * # The High Sheriff , before taking the sense of the meet . ing intimated that it would be better that there should be a show of hats instead of a show of hands . Mr , Copelird , as an electer , protested ammst that course as illegal . A show of hats would exclude those who mi At wear caps , andwho might yet be as honest and upright as the hon . candidate , who had always beon a leach sucking the vitals of the country .
