Mr. Cobden spoke vvarnily in praise of the new Member-

" You have vetueoed to Parliament, I verily the Item for your Interests that we have had since the passing of the 1 eforni Bill. I believe Mr. Greg to be eminently calculated to serve yoU in Parliament ; and there- thre, anti therefore alone, have I assisted, in my hundde way, in returning him. I believe that this victory leis leOn a glorimes Inc, not w upstanding the ma- jority has be,11 Lit small. \Ye bare had We omLarmss.. meats: we have out had our emilidate here ; Le is eight Inin.lred miles from its, alai he labeers tor1-1; the (E.-advantage or not king i.ersomdly known to the great niajorily of his comitituenis. Had he been personally known, they

would esteem him 1 ''Cill him, as an honourable, upright, int, !ligent, and, determined Reformer."

He alluded te the reported opposition of the licensed victuallers and "Wesleyan )Tethedists to Mr. Greg-

" Gentleiiiell, we haee Lad opposed to us, nominally on this occasion—for I don't believe that they have been bodily or really opposed to us—but it has been said that we have !wen oppose(' by the body of licensed victuallers. I know that the mere clique that met together at the Bush Lin did not composer the body of licensed victuallers. We have bad our share of the licensed Yid- tuallerd; and I can only say that' One bird in hand is worth two at the Bash.' And then we were told that we should have the whole body of Wesleyan Methodists against us : but we find, somehow or other, that the Wesleyan Methodists don't run after Mr..Tames Wood, any more than the licensed vic- tuallers run after Mr. Bake at the Bush. Gentlemen, we have beaten them in spite of their arts ; and in spite of their attacks, and in spite of their co- quetting with the licensed victuallers and the Wesleyan Methodists; and, as some gentleman near me says, in spite of the Chartists too. Why, gentlemen, if by the Chartists is meant the great body of the working classes, I say we are as much indebted to the non-electors as we are to you. if it should be said by any man calling himself a Chartist that we have returned Mr. Greg more by the aid of the rich and the influential, I tell him, on the contrary, that Our election was gained by Number One district."

Three cheers were giveu for the Liberal Members, for " Cobden," and the Mayor. Sir George Murray's friends went in procession to the Royal Hotel, where Sir George delivered a clever, and, for a beaten candidute, a good-tempered and spirited speech-

" Gentlemen, if volt AVM EtVOtir with a very few minutes of silence, I shall be very happy to addre7s pet, Since I have been in 3fauelleeter, I have had many motives fi,r being at all times happy to meet the population of this great place, and to address them either in house or in the open place. Their conduct throughout the whole of this important period has bees; such as to re- dound to thefr character. I am not cone here, gentlemen, to Cf:',ISC any un- necessary trouble, or to promote any thing but peace and tranquillity and good humour amongst you. Gentlemen, I feel no disappointment. I do not yet know what may be the result of this trial of strength. I must leave that to be determine,: by a patient and a minute investigation ; and I must leave it to men more conversant with the business—to men of legal jadgment and practisol habits in such affairs, to determine what has hcen the result of this trial of strength. Gentlemen, that wide!' has gratified me most upon this oc- casion, is that T see a trial of strength—upen one of the most important sub- jects upen which freemen eau Le a-senthLt1 together—can be conducted in unches:et' with h as inoell paid humour, with as intuit tranquillity, as -one of the smallest end least important questions that may conic before you. I rejoice I have eneie amongst you. Whatever may be the result, I feel that in obeying the cull whirls was made upon me, I did that which it was my duty to do."

Ile felt especially gratified by the popular demonstration in his favour- " You all know that I have received upon two occasions—both upon the no- mination which tom; place before the Bel-ought-cove, and upon that nomination which took place ;. !sterday before the Mayor—I have received upon both those occasions a slac.v in my favour. Gentlemen, what is a show of hands? A show of hands ge i, it to be an indication of popular opinion. That popular 0:■: rioe lee ,,,en twice expressed in my favour ; and if, gentlemen, it should so turnout th;'..1:, vet e: of; he electors have not sanctioned that opinion, at least I-shall go away s'irls the high gratification, and with the recollection

ever impressed urn my of that Ihrest of hauds—with the recollection of that forest of an al:el:est and industrious men which were raised in my

favour. Gentlemen, you know the law intrusts to and imposes upon the electors the duty of choosing their representatives. To their decision I will bow with perfect 1.1'1st:teflon ; and I expect you all to do the same. But whilst I how to that decision, 14 cause it is the legal and constitutional decision upon the question, I :dial' always rejoice, and I shall always boast, that the decision of the hands of the multitude was in my favour."

Colonel Thomson put for:h, in print, the following address to the "Radical Electors of Manchester "—

" You have fallen to pieces befere the commonest of election stratagems. The first whiff of Whig Nad.d blew you down like a house of cards. You have made a sorrowful displey, not of your strength, but of your skill in using it ; for nobody believes there are only 6:3 men in Manchester who with for Universal Stamp" and dislike tire New 1`,a,r-law. Men pining in prisons were listening flee you ; women and clalren in poor-houses were looking through the grates to s.-a, you do something towards their relief; tire Unrepre- sented everywhere had the ir eyes upon you; rind lot the Manchester moun- tain produces a list ot' " But failures are of lie O.! consequence except as they affect men's minds. You have carried muds, tliongli not all you might. Badly as you have ma- naged, you have clearly estelili••hell the fact that no political party can do with- out you. The Whigs' majority hes been brought down from 1877 to 1`27; rand-they will not lie in a hurry to try what it will lie next. What has dis- persed you now, will never do it again. At a general election, which cannot be fur off, you will bring in your man, and choose what other party you will take into partnership. " See now what von would have gained if you hail stood stoutly to your work this tune. Radicalism would have been picked out of the dirt into which it has been trodden by the deflection of its leaders in the House of Commons and the errors of the Chartists. A heavy blow and notable discouragement' would have been given to the compact which keeps the Whigs in office as the cat's-paw of the Tories. This is what you have done by halves. But the half is worth keeping, n!,a shall be 'kept aecordingly. " All honour to the 6:1. A plain medal shall be struck, ' In commemora- tion of the sixty-61%e electors of Manchester who voted at the raising of the flag of the Unrepresented in September 1830,' and the name of a voter en- graved on melt. The time will come when your families will value them. "To the rest—Kecp the colour which I left with you, and see if another time you can support It better."

Colonel Thompson's friends invited him to a public dinner on Mon- day, and the Colonel made a speech ; but we have seen no report which does justice to the Colonel's peculiar style of oratory.

Colonel Thompson has published an affidavit of Thomas Williams, an elector, who swears that the Poll-Clerk refused to record the vote he tendered for Colonel Thompson, because lie had been informed that the Colonel had resigned.

The Liberals charge their opponents with resorting to some old elec- tioneering tricks in order to deprive Mr. Greg of the votes of sundry electors. A Dr. Johns received a letter culling him to lthyl, in North

Wales ; whither the Doctor took a journey to give medical assistance to a Reverend Mr. Allis, stated to be on his deathbed at the house of one

Hugh Davies : but no such person as Davies or Allis could be found,

and the Doctor hurl a very disagreeable and expensive journey for nothing. Ile had taken care, however, to record his vote for Greg be- fore he set out. Six other letters, requiring the presence of' electors at distant places, have been discovered. One gentleman went to Leeds, and another to Hull. It is said that the writer of the letters is a lawyer, and nearly related to a celebrated Wesleyan preacher. Mr. Greg's Committee offered a reward of 1001. for the discovery of the person who wrote the letters.

A correspondent has sent us "a rough guess at an explanation" of the Tory gain at the election. These are his figures,

" Election of 1833--Tory minority 1877
