MR DAVID DA VIES, M.P. FOR THE CARDIGAN BOROUGHS. After his election zt Cardigan last week, Mr David Davies LLP., of Llandinam. on coming forward was received with the most enthusiastic cheering. He said-Mr Chairman, ladies and gentlemen—I suppose we are now wedded together,'andjraus! therefore,make the best of matters,now. Ie' them be for better or for worse (laughter and cheers). I will say,—to use a phrase made use of by the chairmin, it is a great compliment that has been paid me, and I feel it very much. There are very few men in England, leave alone Wales/that can boast what I can—being the chosen of the people'; I am ice of yourselves, and you have chosen me as your representative by an overwhelming majority ('i-:ghter). I supoo- ■ little latitude is allowed to mem- bers of Parliament, and I am now one, and you must there- fore bear with me f'>r a few minutes to hear what I have to Bay. First of all I must tell you I am not here represent- ir., any piece of land I am not here representing any house I am not here representing any estate, but I am here to represent you, and I tell you more than that, although I may boast of what has taken place to -d-iy"as regards myself, you also may congratulate your selves upon what you have done, for you have elected one of the most independent Members of the House of Com- mons. I seek not position or favour, and I shall therefore be in the House wanting nothing, seeking nothing, but up- held by the instincts of my own conscience. I feel proud of being elected as I have been by one of the most inde- pendent constituencies of either England or Wales, but we are not quite out of the wood yet ;you know the evil one —I don't mean t) say that any of you know him-(Iaugh. t"r)-biit I wish to draw your attention to the hc that in future all must stick together. Don't allow the Wicked One to come amongst you, to divide you, for you all know a house divided against itself is sure to fall and so it has been with many prosperous churches. Whatever happens, I hope there will be no division in this county, but that you will always be of one mind not of one mind to elect me, but to consult with each other, and if I am found worthy your confidence again return me, but if not, tell me the same as you have told my friend Sir Thomas Lloyd. But agree amongst yourselves first and then put your man in; and if he does not behave himself do the same to him as to me, and by that time perhaps I shall have repented, and I shall not be at all surprised that at the next election Sir Thomas Lloyd will go the whole hog and will be the popu- lar candidate, aud I IHll have been the instrument in your hands of converting him. Before going any further, I may state I am going to repr sent you, and you will not ask me to do an unkind act. The Church question will have to be entered into and we do not want to come to grief on that rock, but rather be a warning to a second vessel not to ven- ture too near the same rock. When the bill for the dis- establishment of the Church was brought forward it would hiive to be voted on. If Mr Miall's motion should be repeated, which will sure to be done by some person, I must either run away or vote for it, for I cannot vote against it. We, the Nonconformi-t-i simply want to do an act of justice, and ask the church where they got their revenues from, and whom they belonged to, that is all we ask as yet; as yet the church fights shy of answering, but if they can prove they belong to them I will not vote to take them from them. That, however, must be found out. We do not propose taking anything from the present generation, only from the future. There are many good people in the Church, and I am sorry for them, for the Church wants reforming; but it is not the place of the Nonconformifts to reform it, they should reform themselves. I personally know nothing much about the Church, but I know there are many things in connection with it very bad. Its mem- bers have no voice at all in the choice of their ministers, whatever they may be they must take them. As Noncon- formists, we feel our independence in this matter, for we know that the revenues of the Church are not properly dis- tributed. One man get. his £ 10,000 a year, while another gets his .£80 or RIOO, out of which he is obliged to dress in his black cloth and keep up a position for which the means were not sufficient, and in fact I call it regular starvation I know it is so, a'though I am not a member of the Church but these matters mint be faced, and it is better ito face them now than after some mischief is done. Although the Church of England is enjoying these advantages, we as Nonconformists, have our enjoyments too. In fact all of us in England must feel that we have our liberty to do as we like, let us be Calvinistie Methodist, Baptists, Wesleyans, Independents, Church of England, Catholics, and a hun- dred more creeds, or none of them if we like. I travelled the other day in Russia, but they had not that liberty in Russia, with which we are favoured. Every Russian there must be a member of the Established Greek Church. In Moscow there are 400 Churches, and the consequenceis that all bow to the church and are thoroughly priest-ridden and many swear at the Church. As true subjects, Churchmen should support their own religion. They would then feel more independent, for they cannot now move without Parliament, and as I am now one of that assembly it must be more aggravating to them to think that I have my finder upon them. It is not so with the Nonconformists, they support their own religion and ministers, and I can assure you the money is not lost. (Cheers.) Mr Davies then addressed the assembly in We'sh and resumed his seat amid the most enthusiastic applause. A procession was afterwards formed and the hon. gentleman was escorted through the town by his committee and numerous follow. ers, the bells of St. Mary's Church ringing merry peals.

DENBIGH BOROUGHS. The contest on Friday, February 8, is considered to have been one of the severest that ever took place in North \Vale3. Ihe Tories spared no exertions to oust Mr Watkin Williams. They worked unceasingly, and the result was that they polled many more than ever they had done be- ( fore. Out of the 2S79 on the register, 2447 voters polled which will show the exertions of both sides. When the ■voting was closed, the Conservatives were in high glee and were confident they had been successful. The tionl George Kenyon was accompanied to the Wrexham railway station (en route with the ballot boxes for Denbigh) by a procession of carriages containing his supporters. As the train moved off loud cheers were given, and along the line fog signals had been placed to celebrate what was thought to be a Tory victory. On arriving at Denbigh, the Con- servative candidate was carried bodily to a carriage, driven by an enthusiastic young lady, and it seemed to be taken for granted that the Liberal was nowhere. Consequently, the hopes of the Liberals were very slender, and they were in somewhat low spirits. The joy of the Liberals and the crestfallen looks of the Tories when the numbers were pro- claimed may, therefore, be imagined. The polling at Wrexham opened at eight o'clock on Fri- day morning, but at first few electors put in an appearance. The Conservatives had obtaiiie, i nearly all the vehicles in the town, and they were plastered over with Kenyon for ever." The Conservatives worked very hard, and in the morn- ing, to judge from the colour of the cards that were handed in, polled two for every one brought up by their oppo- nents, but as the day advanced the Liberals increased their efforts, and cabs dashed about in every directicm. There were three polling booths—Town Hall, presided over by Mr James, Town Clerk; Guildhall, under the charge of the Mayor (Mr Robert Lloyd); and at the Savings Bank, over which Mr Sisson, of St. Asaph, pre- sided. After dinner time had parsed the polling was much less brisk, and the rougher class of supporters on either side confined themselves to walking about the streets shouting anl groaning. Asmight be expected, then suit was several free fights, and owinrr to anticipated disturbances the shops in the principal streets were closed. The poll closed at four o'clock, and the Vallit boxes, con- taiuing the votirg papers, were ta^en to Deub'gh, by the 5.40 trin, ir. charge of Mr ("y" About 1,200 polled out cf 1).);),) on t e reg;a;er.

Mr WATKIS WILLIAMS, M. • whose risug was the igna f r great cheering. s:d- Ir Chii' imn and men, once more I stfid re you in the honourable positio-i cf jour represeutatiV.a Parliament —(applause) — and I come here to return you my most sincere thanks for the great honour you hove Iui t me in the renewed conii- dence you have placed in In"). I felt certain, notwithstand- ing warnings which reached me on the way, that in Wrexham, although we have had an excited contest, we should h.iV an orderly, peaceable, and respectable meeting. (Hear, hear.) I had myself n misgiving, when I came i.o this great meeting, u\&z y<> w >u!d discredit yourselves by any disorder or confusion I felt that confidence in you would not be misplace d, and that in addressing a meeting of supporters as well as opponents at a time of the greatest excitement you would favou ■ me with the greatest silence of supporters as well as opponents at a time of the greatest excitement you would favou ■ me with the greatest silence and respect. (Applause.) I thank my friends for the as- sis'anee they have g.v.m me in this great contest, and I also coogia:uLte you upon the success you have acbieVeo. I come here to night not to receive glory to myself, but to share with you the triumph of our victory and of our prin- ciples in this election. (Cheei.) The cheers wiih which I was greeted when I entered 'his hall I did not take to myself, but I took them as cheers for the uccess of those principles represented in myself in the victory we have achieved. This contest, I tiduk I may fairly s iy, is one more decisive, as regards its bearing, than the one in 1868, for this latter his been fought on the part of the Liberals under circumstances of gr.at disadvantage. (Hear, hear.) We were taken considerably by surprise we have fought the battle on our part, I don't hesitate t'> say, with the most scrupulous and careful regard to every principle and purity of election. (Hear, hear ) We have avoided to the utmost every possible conduct that might be questioned, or in any way thought doubtful in the conduct of an election. (Hear, hear and applause.) I am happy to fay this, that on Friday night, when both candidates met at Denbigh, at a moment on my paH of great suspense, and considerable doubt as to the result, and I believe the sami feeling was experienced on the other side—when the result was an- nounced, a scene presented itself that would have astonished every ,>ne whom I am addressing. At h.df-past eleven, the great square of Denbigh was one mass of people, and I received a message from my honourable oppdnenc-of whom I wish tJ speik in every ttrm of respect aud rega-d —that he desired to address the electors, and to express his thanks to those who ha 1 supported him. He requested that I would take part with him an i assist in obtaiding for him in the town of Denbigh a f&ir and impartial bear- ing. (Hear, hear.) I gladly accepted the message, aud mounting the cross at Denbigh I addressed an enormous multitude of people, by whom I was listened to with the greatest posible attention. I gladly, as I have said, res- ponded to the request of Mr Kenyon, that we should both address the people and we did both address them. I do not hesitate to say that the scene we witnessed that night did honour to the Principality -(hear, hear)—for we mus all agree that we have fought a battle of unexampled tn- terest on this occasion. Party feeling has run very high feelings have b-ten roused to the greatest possible point,and those feelings culminated that night in Denbigh and yet, I assure you, the attention with which we both were lis- tened to might have been envied by any lecturer in a pri- vate room. My honourable opponent, I am happy to say, acknowledged that we had had a fair and honourable stand-up fight, and that he had been beaten. (Hear, hear ) In the same honourable and upright way, he admitted that he accepted this result as the verdict of the constituency. (.. Hear, hear," and applause.) I, on my part, also received it at yoar hands as a proof—a conclusive proof-that your political opinions are still firmly adhering to the Liberal cause, and that you approve in the main, if not in every detail, of my conduct during the past live years in Par- liament—that it is your opinion that I have faithfully and honourably discharged the trust you reposed in me on a former occasion. (Applause.) Now,gentlemen, this con- test has been a very close one, and I think I should not be doing my duty if I did not give you to a small extent the analyses of the result of this and the former contest in 1S68. This present contest has been fought under the ballot—(hear, hear)—and I hope that the experience of the ballot will prove to every elector the absolute and perfect secrecy of his vote. I assure you-and you may take this from me—that none of us know except from guess work what is the relative polling either at Holt, Denbigh, Wrexham or Ruthin. But I can tell you one thing we all know, and that is this—that in this contest my total poll was 1233, and Mr Kenyon's 1208. (Applause.) Now, I think it would be of interest to you to know the difference in the several points of the polling. In the first place, in this year, 1874, so much greater has been the energy, and I may say the skill and the determination on the part of one party or the other, that 200 more persons have been brought to the poll, or rather have been polled, than in 1808 but, as regards the number that I have polled, al- though my majority is very much smaller in 1874 than it was in 1868, I only polled eighty votes fewer than in 1868. You will observe the importance of this in a mo- ment. Let me point out to you this interesting fact. In 1874 there polled in Wrexham 1186 voteas- that is to say, 191 more than in 1868; in Denbigh 737 polled this year, being 53 more than in 1858; in Ruthin 393 polled, which is 28 fewer than in 1868; and in Holt 154 polled, being 8 fewer than in 1888; so that you see Wrexham and Denbigh polled a great many more and Ruthin and Holt a great many fewer. One thing I desire to state, and it is this. Many persons have told me that Wrexham has disappointed us Liberals in 1874. Now don't take that as a fair statement with regard to Wrexham and I will tell you why. I find that I have polled 38 votes more than the number that were promised to me. (Cheers.) Therefore, whatever else is true in this contest, I cannot say that any persons who pro- mised to me their support have failed me. It is certainly true that a very large number of persons in Hollt who voted for me at the election of 1868 voted against me on Friday, I am told by the other ,side-and I believe it is true—that a majority of considerabl y'more than 10') was polled against me in Holt; aad coupling that with the fact that I have polled actually fewer than in 1868, and that in Wrexham nearly 200 more polled thaa 1868, the difference between my maj rity this time and my majority at the previous election is accounted for without supposing that a single person who promised me his vote has failed me. And I do not believe that with a few exceptions, the promises which were given to me in Denbigh, Ruthin, Wrexham, and Holt, have mis lead or deceived us. This contest has been fought by us under circumstances of great disadvantage and I look upon my majority as far more decisive of the relative strength of the Liberal and Tory party in these boroughs than the great majority I had in 18G8. For several years the Tory party in these boroughs have been straining every nerve. They felt our victory over them in 1868 keenly. Nothing that organisation, money, social influence, and other matters which I do not at this moment desire to refer to, could do, has been spared by them to ensure success. They them- selves admitted before the result was known, that every in- fluence which could be brought to bear in this contest had been brought to bear. On the other hand, upon our side we fought, I may say, almost stripped to the skin. We had not upon our side a single adventitious circumstance. We have fought with the pure, absolute, unaided strength of the Liberal cause in these boroughs and I think that in some respects it is an advantage to us to have been run so close by our opponents. It will be a lesson to us all to be more united—(hear, hear)—and to be better organised- (hear, hear)—and it will be a lesson to myself perhaps in some respects to be-I cannot say less truthful than form- erly-but a little more careful and cautious. The elections through the country have gone largely against the Govern- ment and in favour of the Conservative party. But I still adhere to the view I expressed to you in this room about a month ago, that this is not the result of what some people call a Conservative reaction. The Liberal party have determined, with great courage, and without regard to the immediate consequences, upon carrying out some gigantic and magnificent reforms. Those reforms, of necessity, have hurt interests here and there, and sttrred up angry feelings in every quarter. They have caused irri- tation and annoyance, and have stirred up vested interests in every part of the country; and the Liberal party feel now the force of the sting which has been given, and the angry feelings which have been created by the removal of those abusee, more than the support of those persons whom they have benefited by those great reforms. (Applause.) The boldness and courage with which the Liberal party has carried these reforms have produced this revulsion of feel- ing. But do not let any one suppose it shows a change of political sentiment in the country. Josh Billings says Do not prophesy unless you know." Of course, I do not know what the future will be, but I venture to say this, that when the Conservative party come into office, which they will shortly do under Mr Disraeli, then the mist around the Liberal pt-ty will gradually rise, and those who have rallied round the Tories and those who have reduced my majority will be shown the great and solid works done by the Liberal party. (Cheers ) They will show them the will-o'-the-wisp tint they are following they will show them that the result of these elections has come, not from any belief in the opinions or the policy of Mr Disraeli, but from casual irritation here and anr.oyance there rather than any wish to go against Mr Gladstone and Mr Bright. And when those feelings are arrested again, and those mists are cleared away, you will find the Liberal feeling in the country will be roused stronger than ever. (Cheers). How long it may be I cannot say, but probably the time is not far distant when you will again be called upon to say [ on which side your votes will be given; and you will then find that throughout the country we shall go back to our great majority of 1808, and we shall prove that the very heart and soul of this constituency is Liberal, and firmly liberal. (Cheers.) I look forward to future con- tests, I will not say with pleasure, but I look forward to them with the greatest prospects of success, and with the hope that I asjain will be the inrlividual who will lead you to victory. (Cheers.) In thanking you once more—in thank- lrg those gentlemen of my committee in Wrexham, and tLose volunteers who have come forward on our side—I say to them that nothing that I can do can ever repay them for t he sacrifices they have made. The c n'.v thing that can J repay them is be grard victory they have achieved. I only appeal to you to show by your peaceable and quiet con- duct to-mght, th ,t you respect yowrselves and the cause in 1 which you have f .oght, and I hope we shall all part in a f "riend'y and quiet way. I now part with you by saying I "Good nigh' (Loud chens.) s Mr LOWE t!i> N moved ih t this meeting, as repre. enting th-j Lii era1. Iarty in Wrexham, hereby offers its :e-Yy Congratalations, to Mr nd Mrs WatV.in Williams on the resnlt of the recent election, and its thanks for their 1 j.er.-CMi.d exer ions in contributing to that result; and de- sir s L'sn 11 r-xprew especial adsn rauoa of the energy and zeal dup'ayed by Mrs Williams, aud its grutefal sense of kiu GeL i.. .ao/oby rendered to the Liberal cause in the I VnHghjldre boroughs." M. j RaW,M;VS seconded the resolution, which was 'carried u t.-imouily amid loud cheering. Mrs WAI^IX WILLIAMS, who was received with the most en- thusiast, "il ers,saiil—Kind friends in Wrexham, you wish to hear me v a few words. Your vote of thanks ia too kind and too flatterong to me to be resisted. I do thank you most neartiiy for the courtesy and consideration you have aUv,.vM shown jie; and in saying that i wish more parti- oukirly to acknow ledge the unfailing gentleness aud kind- ness which I have always received from the working classes or \VYexha'n and this district. 1 have visited t',em from the time I first came amongst you. I thauk you most heartily for the honour you have done me to-night, and I am proud to have borne a share, however small, in the second «reat triumph the Liberal party has had in these boroughs. (Loud applause.) Mr JOHN JONES, solicitor, moved a vote of thanks to Mr Charles Hughes fur presiding, and said that Mr Hughes had also been the chairman of Mr Watkin Williams's commit- tee, and thir thanks were due t) him for his great exer. tioJls during the contest. (Cheers.) Mr T. C. Jone3 seconded the resolution, which was un- animously adopted and Mr Hughes having briefly replied, cheers were given for Mr and Mrs Williams, and the meet- ing terminated. A large crowd bad assembled outside the hall. and Mr and Mr Williams drove away amid enthusiastic cheer- ing.

MR KENYON'S DEFEAT. On Monday night an influential meeting of Mr Kenyon's supporters was held in the Wynnstay Arms, Wrexham, to consider the best meaus of showing their appreciation of the honourable, noble, and gallant way in which Mr Kenyon had fought the late battle on constitutional prin- ciples." Dr Williams presided, and there was n. crowded attendance. A resolution was unanimously passed that an address, signed by all the electors who supported Mr Ken- Ton, should be presented to him at a banquet to be held in "Wrexham. It was also agreed unanimously to ask Mr Kenyon again to contest the boroughs and a strong feel- ing was expressed as to the manner in which the contest had been conducted by the Liberals. Several gentlemen expressed the opinion that the small majority showed that Mr Williams did not represent the feelings of the constit- uency. -Liverpool Courier (Tory).

LORD CASTLEREAGH AND SOUTH DURHAM. On Monday, February 9, Lord Castlereagh addressed the farmers and others assembled in DarliDgton Market trom the King's Head Hotel, aud there was a good gather- ing, though the weather was extremely cold, and his lord- ship was well received. He was accompanied by a number of his leading supporters in Darlington and district. Lord Castlereagh, who was received with cheers, said that at this late hour of the contest he had no wish to weary them. It would be apparent to them all that the people of England had given their verdict against Mr Gladstone as Prime Minister—(cheers)—against Mr Gla Istone who, a short time since, dissolved Parliament with a majority of sixty-six, and was now in a minority of tliirty- four. (Cheers.) He thought there wus no doubt that in a few days they would bear of Mr Di-raeli holding the reins of power. He hoped that the southern division of the county of Durham would have the opportunity on Wednesday of sending one member to Parliament to swell Mr Disraeli's followers, and help forward the great Conservative cause. (Loud cheers.) He had heard that a great deal of intimida- tion had been used in South Durham by the representatives of the Liberals, and by private individuals, towards electors as to the way in which they should record their vote. He would tell the electors not to fear. They were now under the ballot, which enabled a man to vote as he liked. (Cheers) He defied any man in England to know how a man recorded his vote under the ballot. (Hear). Many might tell them to the contrary, but he could give them his word of honour on the matter" Let the electors act inde- pendently, and the result would be that this undue in- fluence would recoil on their own heads. He then referred to local taxation, a question which eveiy tenant farmer espe- cially was interested in. There were new burdens besides the poor rate thrown upon the farmers and occupiers of land —the cost of sanitary and other measures of a local cha- racter. The Conservative member for Devonshire sought to re-arrange this taxation, which Mr Gladstone stoutly re- sisted. His lordship then referred to the income tax, and in conclusion asked the electors to do their utmost to gain a Conservative victory for South Durham on Wednesday. They should not lose an hour, as the day was close. They must not only vote themselves but ask every friend and neighbour to do likewise. (Loud applause.)

CARNARVONSHIRE. THE HON. DOUGLAS PENNANT AT PORT- MADOC.—UPROARIOUS PROCEEDINGS. At two p.m. on Friday, Feb. Gth, a public meeting was held at the Town Hall, Portmadoc, to advocate the candi- dature of the Hon. Douglas Pennant for Carnarvonshire the Hon. Thomas John Wynn, Aberdunant, in the chair. Most of the gentry of the neighbourhood weie present, amongst whom were Mr Nanney, Gwynfryn, Mr Griffith, Cefncoch, Mr Owen, Ymwlch, Mr Greaves, Plaswaenydd, Major Mathew, Wern, and Mr Parry, Maesneuedd. Mr Hugh Humphreys, Carnarvon, who seems to carry a storm with him wherever he goes, was also present on the plat- form, as well as Captain Iremonger, Lord Penrhyn's agent. The hall was crowded, and the proceedings were continu- ally and rudely interrupted by some persons who were not amenable to reason. The Chairman had to pause continu- ally, and it was useless for him to remind them that he would not be put down; that he was used to that treatment five years ago, when he was a candidate for the Carnarvon Boroughs and that he would wait there to the polling day. Shortly after Mr Pennant began his address the storm arose to such a pitch that it seemed as if there was nothing to do hut close the proceedings at once. After repeated appeals fiom Mr Morris, merchant (a Liberal), and especially an earnest appeal from Mr Rowland, banker (Liberal), Mr Pennant was allowed to proceed. Mr Greaves and Major Mathew had a comparatively quiet hearing but when Mr Hugh Humphreys and Mr Robert Isaac Jones rose to speak the storm became furious, and the audience refused to hear them. The CHAIRMAN said—In opening this meeting I do not intend wearying you with any attempt at a political effu- sion. Mr Pennant, who will shortly address you, will, I feel sure, enter fully into the questions of importance which will be placed before the public on the opening of the new Parliament, and will express his views thereupon; but I should wish to avail myself of th opportunity of making a few observations relative to certain placards which, I regret to say, have been posted about the country in connection with this election. The placards to which I refer are to the effect that Lord Newborough, Mr Wynne Finch, and somebody else, have accorded perfect freedom of vot- ing to their tenantry. Now, gentlemen, on the face of it you may say—Well, what of that ? They are a mean, dis- reputable dodge. (Great interiuption, and a voice-" It is a dodge resorted to by your own side," and "Jones- Parry for ever.") They were a dodge resorted to to convey the impression that Lord Newboreugh, whose name was so unwarrantably made use of, was in favour of the candidature of Mr Jones-Parry, in whose behalf these placards were circulated, and thereby to influence his (Lord Newborough's) tenantry. Gentlemen, I will venture say, on the part of my father, that he entirely repudiates tha proceedings, and I am confident that he shares the disgust I feel at so dirty and underhanded a job. But putting aside the anomally of insinuating that there could be other than freedom of election under the ballot, I hold that the parties responsible for the issue of these placards have been gailty of offering a downright insult to the landlord—(A voice, "Lecture your own side, then")—in for a moment supposing that he might possibly interfere with the votes of his tenantry. Gentlemen, I am afraid I cannot say that in days of open voting there may not have been instances in which landlords coerced the tenantry but I will confidently say this, that Lord New- borough can never be reckoned amongst the number. (Great applause.) gl confess I should like to see the time when all personal canvass and all paid agents are abolished at Par- iiamentary elections a time when candidates may stand or fall upon their merits alone, and it is possible that were such a time to arrive a repetition of such an abuse (only one, I fear, of many) might be impossible. Gentlemen, there is a Latin proverb which saya, Qui facit per alium facit per se," and which, perhaps, I may be allowed, for the benefit of these who may not have been fortunate or unfortunate enough to have received a Latin education, to interpret as followsHe who commits an act through the medium of another is accountable for that act himseir, and if a candidate should knowingly countenance such a proceeding as I have referred to, or any other of the same underhand nature, II unhesitatingly say that he would not be a fit person to represent a constituency possessed of one spark of self-respect in Parliament. Gentlemen, it only remains for me now to express a hope that you will endeavour to send Mr Pennant to the House of Commons by a large majority. (Shouts of No, no.") Speaking for myself, gentlemen, I am not what some people call a rabid Tory." Far from it. I dare say it is passible that I might find myself at issue with some of my friends here on one or two questions which have of late been much before the public. Were I in the House of Commons I should may that, were any measure introduced which in my humble judgment seemed beneficial Ifor the consti- tuency I represented, and good for the country generally, I would unhesitatingly vote for such a measure, totally independent of all party feeling. (Voices, What mea- sures? Name, name.") Chairman I am not a candi- date, and I am, therefore, not called upon to explain. But there is one piece of advice I should like to offer you, and that is in choosing a person to hold a position of high trust, always select a gentleman. (Voices, We do, we do,") and pray do not misunderstand meaning of the word. I do not, by the term, mean that a man has good clothes on his back, plenty of money in his pockets, and possesses a pedigree of undoubted length. My experience teaches me, I am sorry to say, that there are a great many so furnished who can in no wise lay claim to such an appelation but a true definition of the word gentleman, my friends, is a man, who, however poorly he may be clad, however humble his origin, would, having an object in view, scorn to endeavour to attain that object in any other than a plain, open and straight-forward course, and I do not think I can conclude the few observa- tions I have thought it necessary to make with better words than vote for a gentleman." (Great shouts of Mr Jones- Parry for ever.) Mr PENNANS, on rising, was received with great cheering by his political friends, but with groans, hissas, and with shouts of Mr Jones-Parry for ever," by far the largest portion of the audience. When the noise had subsided he said he had come there to address them, if they would be kind enough to listen. He was sorry he had not been able sooner to I)a-y Vnem a vi-it. Ho had been all over the County, and Vuight now say th^g tae tide of opinion had turned in favour o' the Conservative party (voices' No, no"). In looking over thepap«tbey woulri see that Voices Wel&h W?l»h") they -A-mii see that n irreat number of seats bad been won by the Coiiservtnves.

MORIUS (a Liberal), b^gg d o' them to allow Mr Pennant to ipettk, and after he had dttne they could bring out what they had to say on their own nide. (Voices Mr Jones-Parrv for ever.") Mr PENNANT said he onlv :d for L\i plav. (Voices There was no fair pla>" af. Bangor.") As he had s .id, the verdicts of the constituencies were in favour of th J 'Ii- servative cause, and those veidicts were -Lvt-ii by working- men, who knew how unworthily they b..ct been trent 1 by the Liberal Government. (Voices: "No, No.") What had the Liberal party ever done to Porimadoc and neigh- bourhood. It had long been felt fiat lights were seriously wanted on St. Tudwell's. and the Government was applied to to supply them, but it refused to do so, urging economy as the excuse, and when a lighthouse was asked for at Abersoch they refused to grant it, s lying there was no need for it. Having pointed out how this had otherwise been neglected, he observed that such facts at; those oncht. to go Lome to them, and teach them that a Liberal Government was not the one for them. (The noise now became deafening, and Alltud Eifion came forward, and said, in Welsh, "For the sake of," but was a lowed to say no more, his voice being drowned by the united groans and .;li- i,-ka of scores in the audience, which continued for mme time.) Mr PENNANT said, dtir-ng a moment rv lull, that there was one subject—(here the storm broke out nfrcah, an the interruption continued for some tinv.) Mr ROBERT ROWLAND now stepped on the platform, and, having for somd time waved his band for silence, a'; Ja-t he got the audience to listen, when be said that lie did not stand up to a..k them to do unythiusr which was to the in- jury of the cuse they supported, but let the Conservative have fair plap, and if the principles which they (the Liberals) supported would not stand the test of discussion, they were not worth fighting for, but if they listened they would find that the arguments of their opponents might be easily upset. Therefore, as long as nothing disrespectful was said of Mr Jones-Parry personally, let them listen patiently. This appeal had some good effect. Mr W. E. MORRIS said Mr Pennant gave his word of honour that he was not at all connected with the disgraceful proceedings at Bangor, and fee immediately sent his agents there to secure fair play for his opponents. Mr PENNANT again proceeded, he said;he wished to call their attention to another subject, —Mr Plimsoli's Bill, which that gentleman brought in during last Parliament. He did not think that any one could haw brrught in a Bill with a better object in view than that, but there were cer- tain clauses in it which were most objectionable, such as that to make the owners of vessels pav for inspecting them, another with regard to the land line &c. If they se:,t him up to Parliament, he would do his best to remedy the evils and the neglect of the local wants he had adverted to. As he had explained his principles fully at other places, and as the Press had given publicity to those views, he would not trouble them with a repetition of them. If elected, he would give his votes impartially in a manner which he con- sidered for the benefit of the electors of the county in general and not of a certain class. He believed there was a desire that Portmadoc should be made into a harbour, instead of being merely a port, and he would if elected, do his best to get it done. He had every confidence that he would be returned triumphantly, (voices, No, no. ") He begged to thank them for the kind manner in which they had listened to him. (Voices, Jones-Parry for ever.") Mr J. W. GRFAvEs, amidst much interruption ,tt first. said that whomsoever they returned to Parliament, they should choose the gentleman who was best qualified to represent the slate trade of this part of the country. There was a measure before last Parliament which would have affected the slate quarries most injuriously-the Workmen's Bill— if it would not have caused their stoppage. It would have been perfectly impossible to pay the men at the end of every week; but if that Bill had passed, the quarry pro- prietors would hive been liable to a penalty of E200 if they failed to do the impossible. In a county like this, where there were so many slate quarries, they ought to consider who was the best qualified to represent the slate trade. He was of opinion that they could not get a better one to represent them than Mr Pennant, to whom he would therefore give his vote, as they ought all to consider their own interest. Mr PENNANT begged to make one explanation. It had been suggested by some one in the body of the room that he had been badly received at Llanberis, that was not the fact. There was a very large audience there, but whilst he was speaking such was the quietness that a pin might have been heard to fall. He was treated there with the greatest respect, The audience now called out "Let the Wesleyan Preacher (alluding to Alderman H. Humphreys Carnarvon), come forward now to speak." The CHAIRMAN humourosly said he now called upon a ■ gentleman to address them, whom they would receive'with great respect, and whom they were evidently most desirous to hear-Mr Hugh Humphreys Carnarvon. Mr HUMPHREYS, on rising to speak was received with a perfect storm of yells, groans, whistling, and calls for him to sit down. Bending towards the reporters, he said "This is a specimen of your liberty but the noise com- pellei him to pause. In a short time he said to those near him, Mr Gladstone has an objection to the connec- tion of parishes; but he is not against the union of two offices. Why? Because he likes to put the emolu- ments of those two offices in his pockets (the row in. creased to such a pitch that the speaker had to give over.) Major MATHEW said he was extremely sorry for what had taken place there that day. He had expected that Portmadoc would have shown better grace. When the Liberals held their meeting, they (the Conservatives) did not come there to disturb their meeting. With great pleasure, he supported what was said by Mr Greaves. He considered the gentleman best qualified to represent them was Mr Pennant, whose personal interest in the slate trade was such that self-interest would lead him to watch its good, and they, the people of those parts, were also inter- ested' in the same matter and the shipping was also con- cerned. They ought to support Mr Pennant, as he would be better qualified to look after the staple trade of the place. Mr OWEN GRIFFITH, Cefncoch, having expressed his regret that the meeting had to be brought to so abrupt a close, proposed a vote of thanks to the chairman for what he had done at that meeting. (Voices Thank him for what," and great noise.) This having been seconded by Dr Griffitbi was taken as passed, and the Conservatives began to movii off. Mr TUCKSFORD moved that Mr Jones-Parry was the can- didate best qualified for the representation of the county. The chairman refused to put it to the meeting, but it was put from the hall, and carried with acclamation. THE HON. DOUGLAS PENNANT AT CRICCIETH On Thursday, Feb 5th, a public meeting was held at the Town Hall, Criccieth, in favour of Mr Pennant's candida- ture. The hon. gentleman was very warmly received, and the horses were taken out of his carriage, which was drawn by the dependants of Mr Nanney and supporters of Mr Pennant. The supporters of Mr Jones-Parry also took hold of the ropes and pulled with energy, shouting "J ODes- Parry for ever." There was a very large and successful meeting at the hall. On the platform were the following: -H. J. Ellis Nanney, Esq. (chairman), the Hon. T. J. Wynn, Aberdunant, the Hon. C. H. Wvnn, Owen Evans, Esq., Broom Hall, G. H. Owen, Esq Ymwlch, Pennant Lloyd, Esq., the Rev. D. Edwards, R.D., Llanystumdwy, the Rev. St. George Armstrong Williams, Cefu, the Rev. John Morgan, Portmadoc, Mr R. I. Jones (Alltud Eifion), Mr J. Watkins, Clenneny, &c. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said he was very happy to meet so many supporters of the Conserva- tive cause that afternoon, and to have the opportunity of advocating the candidature of Mr Pennant, who had had such a warm reception whereever he bad been. He was very much pleased that that gentleman's reception at Cric- cieth was equally warm. Wherever he (the chairman) had been, everybody he had spoken to was unanimous about sending Mr Pennant to Parliament. The farmers had found out at last that Mr Gladstone had never done anything for them, but had increased their taxes and op- pressed them. He imposed a tax on their horses and d,I,s, and left nothing untaxed except their cats. Ho felt sure that on the following Wednesday Mr Pennant, who was a sincere friend of the farmers, would be triumphantly re- turned. His family had always been the most thorough supporters of every good cause in the county, and that fact was a guarantee that he would take a similar interest in the political question of Carnarvonshire. (Great ap- plause, ) Mr PENNANT said he was very much pleased with the warm and hearty reception he had received from them at Criccieth, as he had indeed in all parts of the country. They had, on a former occasion, given him a warm recep- tion at Criccieth; but he had not expected to have such a kind reception as be had had that day. They had read in the newspapers what his political views were, as he hal fully explained them at previous meetings therefore he would not tax their patience by repeating them on this occasion. He would, however, say a few words on Tenant Right. He was in favour of giving the tenant compensa- tion for all permanent improvements made on the lands, such as buildings, drains, liming, and that he should be repaid these expenses on a private agreement made between him and his landlord, in case he left his farm. That had always been the arrangement on the Perrhyn Estate but he always preferred such an agreement between landlord and tenant to any legislative enactment on the subject. Then with regard to game, he was against over-preservation of game so as to injure the tenant, and when it happened, the landlord should compensate the tenant. "He d noC, enlarge on the sympathy which existed towards his family in this county. They knew that the mors: the property a gentleman possessed in any place, the greater was the in- terest he felt in that place therefore he need not take the trouble to remind them that he would take the greatest in- terest in the affairs of the county, if elected to serve them in Parliament, and that he would give his time to serve them faithfully. (Great and prolonged applause). Mr PICTON JONES said he was there ii,t -q T-od New- borough's agent, but as an elector to support Mr Pennant. He had had large experience with the fanners, aud now he knew they understood who were their best friends, and that they would show it on the day of election by sendirg Mr Pemnv.it to Parliament. The meeting was afterwards addressed by Mr H. Htrm- phre^s, Carnarvon, Mr I-aic Watkins, C'en^nucy, M;'VV. Williams, Ysguborwen. aad Mr R. I\ Jones (AJLUCI Sifion). .t., 1>
