Sir Francis Burdett and Mr. Walter Long were reelected for

North Wiltshire, without opposition, yesterday. Sir Francis, in returning thanks for the honour, opened a long attack on Ministerial errors, by saying- ' The whole of his public conduct, from his first entering into Parliament up to the present period, had not in the least degree deviated from the one single straight line he had in the first instance marked out for himself. His sole ob- ject and effort throughout had been to firmly establish his country in its an- cient institutions, its true liberty, and in that true and right system without which true liberty had never been experienced by any nation on the face of the earth. He congratulated them on the prospect which was now happily in view, of having a Government capable of conducting the affairs of the country; a Government whose principles were well known, and who would not deviate from those principles, or be seduced from their even way by any sinister sup- port.they might receive here or there, and still less court any support which was in direct hostility to the constitution of the country. The Government which had so long abused their trust might now be considered as dismissed by the public voice to which they had the temerity to appeal; and this in a man- ner which could not be mistaken in the highest or lowest quarters."

The crowd kept up a running commentary of sneering jokes during the Baronet's speech.

We can only report progress for Dublin and Belfast. Matters seem to be going against the Liberal candidates. In Dublin, on Thursday, the Tories claimed a gross majority at the close of that, the third day's poll, for West and Grogan. But the reports of the figures are worthless, so much are they complicated with squabbles before the Assessor who examines the disputed votes, and the accusations of Mr. O'Connell's party against the partiality of the Assessor himself. In both Dublin and Belfast the polling has been carried on amid very bad rioting : in Dub- lin the military were called out and stationed to protect the voters as they proceeded to the poll.
