      Shrewsbury. The Election Of Two Members ...

      SHREWSBURY . The election of two members for tha _barongh of Shrewsbury commenced on Wednesday , July 28 th , by the nomination of three candidates by the Tory , Whig , and Protectionist parties . MrTomline the old member , was put forward by the Peelite Tories ; Mr Slaney , who bas contested this borough five times , waa brought forward _ky tho Liberals , heaven save then ; and a Mr Baldock , an importation from London , hawking 'High Church , * No Popery , ' and Protectionist wares , was proposed by the Protectionist party , who are in high rage with Mr Tomline , be having , with Sir R . Peel , struck a _treacherous blew at that oatriotio and disinterested pirty . MrSlaaey , who by the marriage of his daughters into some Tory families of local distinction , _£ » ingratiated himself amongst that factionwas proposed by the Hon . 1 .

      , Kenyon , Tory , seconded by Mr Wm . Clement , a Mice flaming radical , and won the show of hands by a iaree najorifcr . Mr Tomline nest ; andMr Baldock , of wonderful oratorical powers , of ilign Church , '' No Popery , ' and Protectionist principles , received but a small share of public favour . The rolling commenced on the following morning , and after a keen and unscrupulous contest , bribery and treating bang the order ofthe day , Mr Baldock , the hero of protection , was at the head of the poll by a majority of 33 . Mr Slaney winning his election by the small number of -i votes over Mr Tomline . Mr Slaney , who professes great regard forthe welfare of the working classes and ia favourable for all safe reforms , hada great number of plumpers , and numbers of split votes from the Protectionists , who would do anything , however inconsistent , to onst Mr Tomline .

      DERBY ELECTION . The nomination of candidates to represent the booughof Derby in Parliament , took place on Friday week , in the Guildhall , at nine o ' clock . MrD . Fox proposed , and Mr Saunders seconded , the nomination of the Bight Hon . Edward _Strutt , amidst great nproar . Mr Wm . _Eviss proposed , and Mr Mos 3 seconded , the nomination of Mr Glower , amidst great confusion . Mr Lewis _nroposed , and Dr Heygato seconded , the nomination of Mr Raikes , Conservative .

      Tbe Rev . W . F . Poms ( Baptist minister ) rose to propose Mr Philip M'Grath as a fit person to represent the borough . Mr Poile spoke in a very animated _manner fer some time amidst load and _geneyil cheering . Mr Grose _recomed the nomination , and delivered an excelientspeech , exposiBjr tbe villainous doing 9 of the Whigs in general , and Mr Edward Strntt in particular . Mr Gawthohse proposed , and Mr Spurgeon seconded , the nomination of Mr MorZey . Mr Sihott _theaaddressed the electors amidstcons : derable confusion . He was received with cheers from his own immediate party , and with groans and hisses from the body of the hall . Ue delivered one oi his usual Whig speeches .

      Mr _Gowxn declared himself in favour of vote by ballot , extension of the suffrage , and of shortening the duration ot parliaments , but added that the Chartists nnd Tories-were united , and the political ingrat tade tf the former waa proverbial . Mr Raises rested his claims to represent Derby chiefly on bis determination to resist the endowment of tbe Roman Catholic Church . Mr M'Grath , on rising to address the meeting , was received with tremendous cheers . He said at that late hour he did not deem it prudent to occupy their _timeatanylengtb , butashe appeared before them ss a candidate to represent them within the walls of St Stephen's , he hoped tbey would bear with bim for a few moments , whilst he endeavoured to explain

      his political opinions . lie came before them with a slur on his character , having been charged -with comingto Derby for the purpose of aiding and assisting the Tories , aud having been brought thereby Tory gold , which charge beindignautJy repelled . ( Cheers . ) Se migbt impute tbe same motire to Mr Leveson Gower . ( Cheers . ) He came there as the advocate of civil and religious liberty . _^ He did not want time to consider his principles ; his mind waa made ap on that point He had stood in the gallery ofthe House of Commons , and heard speeches delivered which contained neither wit , reason , nor common sense , and the speeches delivered by the two Dissenting minister tnat day . contained more eloquence and reason , and displayed more intellectual power , than any score cf

      speeches delivered in the House of Commons ! He then alluded in strong terms to the separation of Church and State , and made some remarks on the ambiguity ot the observations tbat bad fallen from Mr Strutt and Mr Gower upon thia point Ue went onto say that the fundamental doctrines ofthe Church of England were entirely opposed to compelling parties differing from them upholding that church , and he hoped , ere long , that the walls of St Stephen ' s would ring with that topic . ( Cheers J The Soman Catholic asserted his infallibility , but the Protestant did not , and allowed any one to read the Bible , be his religion Catholic , Jew , or Mahomedan , or any other , and draw from it their own conclusions : and he wonld pat it to Mr Strntt . whether a

      system which compelled one portion of the community to pay for tiie maintenance and support of the religious opinions of another , contained either equity or justice . ( Loud applause . ) Mr M'Grath then went oh to notice a speech of Mr Struttfs which he had made a few evenings previous in the Mechanics' Hall , npon the principles of Church and State , stating that the cause of purity of religion of the Established Church was in consequence of its connexion with the State . He , for one , considered that a greater insult could not beoSered to the Deity , than to maintain such an opinion . He contradicted MrStrntt ' s remarks , that , if the Church of England was separated from the State , it wonld entail more misery on tiie people- He was opposed to the

      Educational Scheme proposed by the government , and firmly believed they had no right to interfere with the education ofthe people ; maintaining that parents ought to have the same octotrol over the edacation 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 ; bat whilst they taxed the Americans with upholding it , they should not forget that this country taught it to them . The . Americans were getting heartily sick of this system , aad 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 ot a

      nation which was landed 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 wbo had proposed Mm ( 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 be ( Mr M'Grath ) contended it was a right ; and he had never heard it proved that all men were not born equal—were not accounted equal—by God , or did not stand equal in the eye ol the law . ( Cheers . ) The Whigs contended that the franchise should be extended to the people only in proportion to the advancement of education and knowledge , but he ( Mr M'Grath ) had stated on previous occasions tbat the intelligence of the people was often in advance of the would assert that it

      government ; and he again was _h , instancing , as an example , the Cathoie Emancipation and the Free-trade Bills , which were conceded fo by _Tarytabinets ; but the people wereconvinoed of the inutility and injustice of those laws for some time previous to their _abalition- ( Cheers . ) He was prepared to vote for the mitigation of the criminal code , for be wasconvinoed that it waa harsh and unchristian ; ani ho was decidedly adverse to the use of the gallows . ( Cheers ) Mr M'Grath then went on _b > speak of the New Poor-law , saying that he could not understand Mr Strutt when he said he was opposed to ihe aged people in the workhouse being separated , and yet went to the House of Commons and voted in favour of it . ( Crirs of Yes , yes , d 'that ' s * settler Neddy . ' ) Another thing which . he thought very wrong was , _thatthediseenting minis" er # re not allowed to have free _tcoesslto the work-

      honse ; and be wonld not leave anything to the 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 saying that he hoped and trusted that the manner in which tbey fulfilled their duty in sending a representative to the House of Commons would redound to thoir credit , and that tbey would send a man who would advocate measures which were calculated to advance thegreat cause of human progression . The Rev . J . G & _wthoixb having withdrawn Mrttorley whom he had nominated : —

      The _Matob called for a show of hands , cautioning all present wbo were not electors not to interfere . 'We made , * fays tbe Derby Mtrtwrg , ' a very careful exami . tion ofthe Hall , during this proceeding , and we give tho following as the decided conviction of our own mind : — For Ur Strntt about 80 banda were held up . For Mr Gower about 70 . For Mr Raikes at least ISO , and For Mr M'Grath about 180 : And yet the Mayor chose to declare tbe show of bands to be iu favour of Mr Strutt and Mr _fiower . We will venture to say there was not an individual out of the immense assembly present—whether political friend or foe—who was not utteriy astonished at the decision , so thoroughly contrary as it was to the fact . A poll was demanded on bei . alf of Mr Raikes and Mr MGrath , and the business of tho nomination terminated

      Tbe polling commenced on Satorday , and terminated in tbe return of Messrs Strutt aad Gower . The fol-Iciwin .- are the numbers polled according to tbe mayor ' s declaration : — Mr Strutt 880 Mr Gower 852 Mr Raikes 800 Mr M'Grath 318
