BATH. Daring the cauvassing of Mr. Roebuck and Lord Duncan, the Times published a placard which purported to be issued by them, proposing to cancel the National Debt. The placard was a forgery. Mr. Roebuck wrote the following letter to the editor of the Times- " Sir—You have chosen, I know not on what evidence, to assert that Lord Duncan and myself have put forth a handbill, which you give at length, and which proposes that the National Debt should be cancelled. I beg at once to be permitted formally and unequivocally to assert that no such handbill was put forth either by Lord Duncan or rnyself, or by any one acting for us. I have vainly striven to find any such handbill published by anybody ; but I know that one was seen in the hands of Mr. Caldecot, a well-known Tory of this town : from whom he had obtained it he would not say. Having traced it back to him, and he not being willing or able to say how he became possessed of it, be must be considered to be the author of it.

"But while this paper is not found circulating in Bath, by some curious fatality it finds its way to London, and is published by a Tory newspaper. This paper is bound to tell on what authority it thought fit to call Lord Duncan and myself the authors of it. I know it served the purpose of the Tory party to make this lying assertion; but what serves their purpose is not always honest; and, lest ypu should be fairly charged with knowingly propagating a falsehood, I shall call upon you to publish this letter, and to state on whose authority you deemed yourself justified to cast upon us this imputation. "it is well known that newspaper editors, writing anonymously, are but too apt, on very light grounds, to bring charges against public men. In order to rescue yourself from the charge of having acted thus dishonestly—of having borne false witness against thy neighbour, I call upon you to give up the author of the scandal.

"I am, Sir, your obedient servant, "J. A. ROEBUCK. Bath, 3d July 1841." The Times refused insertion to this letter, on the ground that it was " insolent "; and it was transferred to the Morning Chronicle. In a letter that paper, Mr. Caldecot, after quoting the passage in Mr. Roebuck's letter which refers to himself, says- " In the strongest terms compatible with the language of a gentleman, I utterly deny this imputation. The handbill in question was in circulation in Bath prior to the election. It reached my hands in common with other in- habitants. I met Colonel Napier in the street, and without the slightest re- serve communicated it to that gentleman ; and had the gallant Colonel asked me any question about it, I should readily have given him every information in my power.

I have had no communication whatever with the Times newspaper on this or any other subject connected with the Bath election."

The Morning Chronicle fairly observes upon this disavowal- " The handbill baa been traced to Mr. Caldecot, and he admits that he showed it to Colonel Napier. It will not do for Mr. Caldecot to say that it was in circulation in Bath prior to the election, and reached his hands in common with other inhabitants. How and when did it reach his bands, and what other inhabitants saw it ? He must not be allowed to talk of his honour in a case where an infamous libel has been seen in his possession."

BRIGHTON. The Brighton Herald has discovered the stronghold of Conservatism : it says—" It is a singular fact, that all the chimney- sweepers in Brighton voted for the Tory."

CAMBRIDGE. The man Jones, who has been examined on various charges of bribery, was removed from the Town Gaol to London' on Wednesday last, under a writ of habeas ; when he appeared before Mr. Justice Wightman, and the hearing of the case was fixed for one o'clock the following day. Mr. Chambers appeared for the prisoner, Mr. W. Cole for the prosecutors. The latter took a preliminary objection, that the writ had been issued from the civil instead of the criminal side which objection being held fatal, the prisoner was ordered back to Cam- bridge. Mr. Chambers prayed the Judge to remand the prisoner for an hour, until a fresh writ could be issued ; which his Lordship refused ; and Mr. Edis immediately posted off to the railroad with Jones, just before the train started. Mr. Edis was served with another writ of habeas, and he returned to the Judge's chambers ; and the hearing was fixed for Friday at two, before Mr. Justice Patteson. On that day the prisoner appeared. Mr. Chambers endeavoured to prove that no party could be arrested or committed for a misdemeanour on the Sunday. Mr. Cole contended contra ; and the Judge remanded the case until Saturday at eight o'clock ; when he discharged Jones as to the commit- ment on Sunday the 27th ultimo, but remanded him as to the others. Thus the prisoner has got rid of the charge which Large preferred against him, where the money was actually paid, and the two remain- ing cases are for the attempt only. The prisoner returned to Cam- 2 bridge in the custody of Mr. Edis, the gaoler, on Saturday night.— Cambridge Advertiser.

LEICESTERSHIRE, SOUTH. About 5,000 or 6,000 persons assembled at the Castle on Saturday, to witness the nomination. The candidates were Mr. Packe and Mr. Halford, the late Tory Members; Mr. Thomas. Gisborne, the late Member for Carlow, and Colonel Cheney, Liberals ; and Mr. Bairstow and Mr. Cooper, Chartists, the latter editor of a Chartist paper in Leicester. They were nominated in the order in which they have been enumerated. Colonel Cheney's seconder was interrupted by a fight, which lasted for an hour. The disorder perhaps accounts for the poverty of Mr. Gisborne's speech. His most striking point was, to show the farmers that they had suffered under Tories as well as Whigs— Did they remember the distress that existed among the agriculturists in the year 1817, and the representations that were then made on the subject Did not that take place under a Tory Government ? D d they remember when the Blanketeers were about to march to London with a view to obtain the redress of their grievances ? Did not that occur under a Tory Government. Did they recollect the burning' of 1830?

Mr. Cooper—" The Whigs caused them."

Mr. Gisborne—" If that gentleman would give him leave, he would correct his chronologies : Sir Robert Peel and the Duke of Wellington were then in office.

Mr. Cnoper—" But the Whigs raised them."

Mr. Gisborne—He was not aware till informed by that gentleman that the Whigs were then so powerful in the agricultural counties.

Colonel Cheney avowed that his canvass had converted him to be a supporter of the Ballot. He inferred that Toryism was sinking, from the fact that he now saw it fraternizing with Chartism. The show of hands was in favour of the Liberal candidates : a poll was demanded for Mr. Gisborne and Mr. Raiford.

The result of the poll was declared yesterday. The votes stood thus—Halford, 2,638; Packe, 2,622; Gisborne, 1,213; Cheney, 1,136.

DURHAM, SOUTH. The Liberal candidates here were Lord Harry Vane and Mr. Bowes ; Mr. Ferrer was the Tory candidate. The poll finally stood thus—

Ferrer 1,739 Vane 2,578 Bowes 2,512 Plumpers for Farrer 1,068 Ditto Vane 136 Ditto Bowes 115 Lord Seaham has sent to the papers a correspondence, which he began with Lord Harry Vane in the following note-

"Wynyard Park. 1st July 1841. "My Lord—Having come to South Durham to manage the interest of say family in the division, 1 am desirous of knowing distinctly from your Lordship if you stand unconnected with any other candidate, or it there is a coalition between you and Mr. Bowes ? I heard from my father that you had declared to him a direct coalition w jilt Mr. Bowes. If this is not the case, I trust your Lordship will be so good as candidly and frankly to inform me ; as my directions and the expression of my wishes to my father's tenantry will much and mainly depend on your Lordship's answer. "I have the honour to be, your very obedient servant, " SE ARAM."

Lord Harry Vole replied that there was no such coalition ; he had ordered his canvass to be conducted solely on his own behalf. Lord Seaham sends this correspondence for publication, with the final state- ment of the poll, to the papers.

NORTHUMBERLAND, NORTH. IT The official declaration of the poll, on Monday, at Alnwick, told a grievous tale against Lord Howick. The Votes were—for Lord Ossulston, 1,216; Mr. Cresswell, 1,163; Lord Howler, 1,101. The defeated candidate scarcely attempted to conceal his excessive chagrin : he did not deny, he said, that he was mortified and disappointed in the result ; though, considering the circumstances of the contest, and the short notice given him of the opposition, there was much in the result of which he had reason to be proud- " In spite of the shortness of the notice which was given to me—in spite of the endeavour which has been made to represent me as hostile to the great in- terest of the country, I mean the landed interest—in spite of the attempts which have been made to get up here the same cry which in other places has been raised against the Poor-law Amendment Act—although I, on my part, have not condescended to resort to similar means—though I have not shrunk from avowing and maintaining every opinion which I sincerely entertain—and in spite also of the undue means which have been used to influence the electors —in spite of all this, the small majority against me proves conclusively, that if I had had an early intimation of what was intended I should not have failed to be successful. And how was I deprived of this opportunity ? It is not, as I said before, merely that the intentions of the opposite party were concealed from me—it is not merely that that secrecy was observed which may be con- sidered a fair advantage in electioneering warfare; but it is that wishes were expressed by the immediate connexions of my late colleague—it is, that wishes were expressed from a person of still greater influence in the county, I mean our neighbour in the Castle close by—I say that wishes from these quarters were expressed, and were repeated to me, that the representation of the county might continue in the hands of those who formerly possessed it ; and when those wishes were repeated to me, I had a right to calculate that I was not to experience the determined hostility which has been manifested towards me. Persons in the situation of those to whom I allude have no right to express wishes of this kind and feelings of this description, unless they were prepared to act upon them. If it had not been that these things were said to me, know- ing the natural difference of opinion with respect to the Corn-laws which pre- vails in this county, I say that the very moment the dissolution took place I should have commenced a canvass; and I ask any of you—I ask even any of• my opponents, who know the desperate shifts to which they have been reduced to obtain the small majority they have gained—I ask, whether so early a com- mencement of the canvass on my part would not have insured my success ? I firmly believe, that if I had then come forward, no opposition would have been attempted." He pressed the charge against his opponents, that they had exercised Undue influence— He could not believe that Lord Ossulston would have concluded without taking some notice of the circumstances which had taken place on Lord Tank- erville's estate at Wark. Lord Ossulston could not be ignorant of what he had brought against him in reference to those electors. He did not make the accusation in a corner ; he made it publicly at Wooler. (Lord Ossulston- " And read my letters? ") And read Lord Ossulston's letters. (Lord Os- sulston—" Did you read them all? ") He would ask Lord Ossulston to deal fairly, and, instead of interrupting him by single words and sentences, let him answer him when he had done, fairly and like a man. Was he to suppose from this interruption that Lord Ossulston complained of his having read his letters? Why, upon matters of this kind, letters were documents which ought to be referred to. Did any honest man write that of which he was ashamed ? If Lord Ossulston had not written any thing of which he was ashamed, what harm had been done by reading his letters ? (Lord Ossulston—" You only read part of them ; that which suited your own purpose.") He read every single word and syllable of those letters at Wooler. Be begged that if Lord Ossulston thought he had left out any thing, he would call for the publication

of the whole correspondence. • •

There was in the village of Wark a considerable nun-Aber of electors holding land under Lord Tankerville, and in a great degree dependent upon his Lord- ship. All those persons, with two or three exceptions, had promised to divide their votes between himself and Lord Ossulston; but they had not been per- mitted to do so. First, one gentleman, who resided in the neighbourhood, took every means in his power to induce them to break their promises : but all the means used were insufficient, until Lord Ossalston himself appeared among them, and so strongly pressed upon them to withdraw their votes, which they had promised him, that, with five honourable exceptions, they had been in- duced to do so. Now' what were the pretences upon which this was done ? It was said by Lord Ossulston that the promises of these persons were ob- tained by undue representation as to what his feelings and wishes were. Lord Ossulston himself could not be cognizant of this fact ; and when it was posi- tively denied by his friend near him, Mr. Robertson, he was sure the character of that gentleman for honour and integrity would make it totally unnecessary for him to offer any further proof that such was the fact. But at the same time, though the testimony of Mr. Robertson required no corroboration, he held in his hand a statement made by a part of the electors of that village, who had signed their names to the document, which was so important that he trusted they would permit him to read it. [The document was signed by five freeholders of Wark ; who declared, that when Mr. Robertson was at that vil- lage he never gave them to understand that Lord Ossulston was canvassing for himself and Lord Howick; but on the contrary, when they had heard at Berwick that Lord Ossulston had coalesced with Mr. Cresswell, they said they

could not support Lord Ossulston equally with Lord Howick, as they had be- fore interdol. One of the party said, he had been told by Lord Ossulston at Berwick that the coalition had been entered into, and his name joined with Mr. Cresswell, without his knowledge. The document was signed Davidson, Allen, Smith, Scott, and Thompson.] Lord Ossulston made a counter-statement- He was called into this part of the county on being told that Mr. Robertson was going to give a dinner to the electors of Norham ; and it was feared that the effect of that dinner might be to induce some to retract their votes, which had been already promised to Mr. Croswell and himself. Upon his arrival at Norham, he found this to have been the case, and that one voter—(" Name! name !")—He found that the dinner had taken place, and that Mr. Wood pre-

sided, and that he had been induced, he would not say by whom, to retract his vote—[Mr. Robertson—" That gentleman voted for your Lordship."] Mr.

Wood promised him a vote at Berwick—[Mr. .Robertson—"And he gave it to

you, at my request, my Lord."] He could not tell what had subsequently oc- curred; hut when he went to Mr. Wood after the dinner, he refused the vote

which he had previously promised him ; and -this was not the case with Mr. Wood alone, but with several other of the electors of Norham : by undue in- fluence exercised over them they had retracted their promises. This was, however, only one part of the case. He was then desired to proceed to Wark ; for the electors, who had promised him their first votes, and told Mr. Richard Hodgson they would reserve their second ones till he or some other authorized person should come among them, had been induced by Mr. Robertson to pledge their second vote to Lord Howick. He would tell them what they had themselves told him—that from what Mr. Robertson had said, the impression was conveyed to their minds that his (Lord Ossulston's) desire was that they

should give their second vote to Lord Howick. Mr. Robertson had denied that he said this; and he was bound to believe him ; but it was the same thing, pro. 'ruled the impression was created upon the minds of the voters, if by that im- pression they were induced to give their second vote to Lord Howick, which was already pledged to him. If the noble lord had read the whole of the cor- respondence, instead of a garbled account to suit his own purpose, they would

have seen the entire transaction ; and moreover, he would pledge himself, after the publicity which had been given to it, to publish the correspondence. Ale Some of his own tenants, added Lord Ossulston, had plumped for Lord Howick ; and not one of them should ever suffer the slightest injury for doing so. The subject was somewhat noisily discussed by several others ; among whom were Mr. R. Hodgson, M.P., Mr. Robert- son, and Mr. Hodgson Hinde, M.P. At length the Sheriff, remarking that all the charges brought by Lord Howick had been satisfactorily disposed of, and that no question was before the electors, closed the dis- pute by dissolving the meeting.

WINDSOR. The correspondent of the Morning Herald supplies the sequel of the story of Castle canvassing at Windsor, told by the

-4Fgrei Times- " Her Majesty is extremely angry and annoyed at the misuse which was made of the ' Queen's name' previously to and during the election for this borough, by those persons who hold high and influential appointment in the Royal Household—the Lord Steward, the Lord Chamberlain, and other Whig hangers-on, for instance; and in order to show that there is no intention to ' punish ' those who refused to vote for either of the Whig candidates, it may be only necessary to mention, that almost the very first of the Royal tradesmen who were waited upon by Mr. Norton, by order of the Lord Steward, to de. mend his vote for Ramsbottom and Fergusson, (but who voted for Mr. Neville) received an order, a day or two since, to supply various articles he deals in to the Castle. Another respectable tradesman, but who does not hold a Royal warrant,) one of the most determined and consistent Cote ervatives in Windsor, has twice received orders to supply the Castle with goods since the arrival of the Court on Monday last. The remainder of the Castle tradesmen have supplied the Royal Household just the mimeos before."

YORKSHIRE, WEST RIDING. The official declaration of the poll for this Riding took place at Wakefield, on Monday. The proceedings pos- sessed unusual interest. The numbers were—for Wortley, 13,165; Denison, 12,780; Milton, 12,080; Morpeth, 12,031. The candidates all addressed the electors. Mr. Wortley congratulated them on the great victory which they had achieved : he attributed it to no over- whelming influence, or to any personal merits of his own, but to the cause which they had espoused- " It was true they had done him the honour of making him their represen- tative, but he was not vain enough to ascribe the triumph to any such cause. Be had obtained their suffrages because the noble lord, who was more especially his opponent on the present occasion, was a member of a Government which had so conducted the affairs of this country, and had exhibited themselves in connexion with a line of policy so much at variance with the feelings of the peo- ple, that the electors of the West Riding of Yorkshire had been forced to with- draw their confidence from them, and to tell them that they could trust them no more. It was upon this ground alone that he and his honourable colleague stood as the triumphant party at the present moment. It was the good sense of the people—the sense of truth and justice which always predominated in the hearts of Englishmen when they found the best and most sacred principles dis- credited by the persons in whom they were called upon to confide—that prompted them at once to declare in a loud and decisive tone, that to such an administration their confidence could be no longer given." Joy at the victory, however, was tempered by regret for the vanquished— "But exult as he might, it was not without, he confessed, some little mixture of alloy—it was not wholly without a drawback ; and although he knew how

inexpedient it was upon great public occasions to give expression to one's pri- vate sentiments, yet he trusteehe might be excused, if, after a course of two or three and twenty years, an individual intimacy with one whose value and merits he had never on a single occasion throughout his whole canvass depre- ciated, he uttered the wish, would that it had fallen to his lot to have been victorious over some other opponent.' But it was not given to man to taste of the cup of prosperity without one drop of gall. He had his drawback, be- cause, elated as he had a right to be at the triumphant position he held, yet that triumph had been gained at the expense of one with whom he had for a long time held a sincere and affectionate friendship. But he did not believe notwithstanding these occurrences, that the friendship would be in any degree abated. It was a consolation to him to know, that although Lord Morpeth and

himself had been antagonists on three occasions, and although they had OR each occasion carried on the conflict with energy, yet, from the beginning to the end of those contests, he believed nothing had occurred to cause ill-will Or ill-blood to prevail between them."

Mr. Denison having addressed the electors, Lord Milton gave there a sort of congratulation reversed-

" The electors of the West Riding may now expect—and I hope they like it, for they have voted for it with all their hearts—to have fresh taxes added to

those they are already so unwilling, and, I believe, so unable to bear. In ad- dition to this, they must expect to have a large pauper population thrown upon their hands. I wish the landed interest joy of their increased riches. But the

Tories will have to govern the country. They will have to put down sedition

abroad; they will have to govern Canada, where, no doubt, they hope our surplus population will go; ay, and they will have to govern Ireland—unhappy Ireland i—unhappy under their sway, for it will not be the mild government which my noble friend administers. No; the Tories, as Mr. Wortley has said, [of the immediate election,] will throw away the scabbard, and they will govern that unhappy country with the sword. This is an ominous day in the annals of unhappy Ireland. Perhaps this very night the toast of The glorious and immortal memory '—a toast not easily forgotten—will be proposed, and under

the very Orange colours which are adopted by the friends of Ireland here will the hurrah be raised in triumph over Ireland, that is now consigned to the government of the sword. You, the Tories, cannot govern it otherwise, you never have governed it otherwise, and I fear you never will."

Lord Morpeth then presented himself, and was received with cheers loud and long-continued; the Tory party vying with the Liberals ia giving him a hearty reception. He said-

" I come yet once again before you, in the order duly assigned to me as the lowest on the poll. I am the last person, and it would be the last object I could have in view, to aim at dissembling the magnitude of the triumph which our opponents have wrested from us. On the contrary, I clearly think it the most signal and the most decisive which has as yet been attached to the car of Conservative reaction. I have to resign the representation of the West Riding of Yorkshire into the hands of Mr. Wortley. I say Mr. Wortley ; for let my defeat have at least that alleviation. I must be allowed to consider him as my immediate conqueror. We are the old competitors. I have already, as he has told you to-day, met him twice in no inglorious warfare. He knows better than I can tell him, that there are recollections and passages of our former lives which must make me prefer him to almost any other man as my success- ful rival. But in transferring my late position into his more fortunate hands, I cannot dissemble the price and splendour of the dower : I have been too fond of it, too proud of it for that."

Then as to the effect of the defeat on the country- " The public questions at issue constitute, of course, the really important part of such a transaction as the present. With respect to them also, I can-

not fail to be sensible of the grave and intimate bearing which the decision of this great constituency may have, in the present conjuncture of affairs, upon the concerns of finance, trade, and commerce. Not, gentlemen, that I can feel, in a greater measure now than heretofore, any manner of doubt or mis- giving as to the ultimate success of the principles upon which the present Go- vernment have staked their credit, and, as it would seem, have perilled their existence. No, gentlemen ; not less in this hour of defeat than when I stood in this place on Monday last, surrounded by all the appearances, at least, and perhaps some of the anticipations of triumph—not less do I feel persuaded that the opinions and measures of which I was then the feeble representative and advocate, are even now moving in their onward though unseen track, and hastening to their accomplishment. It is but too possible that the verdict passed upon them by this large Riding, and by some of the more important towns within it, may postpone the hour fur gathering the first-fruits, and may aggravate the burden and inflame the heat of the day ; but I most firmly and hopefully believe, that, happily for the prosperity of our species, the cause of truth and justice, on whatsoever side it lies, however slowly, is sure in the end to be uppermost."

In a farewell to the West Riding, he intimated an intention of bidding farewell for a time to Parliament— "1 am willing to flatter myself, that even with my political opponents I leave behind nothing but political differences—(Loud and long-continued cheer- ing from the whole mass of the people)—and that we may separate without any ground for angry retrospection or for personal offence. (Renewed cheers, espe- cially from his Lordship's opponents.) But as to those with whom 1 have had the greater happiness of agreeing, now that so many recollections of consi- derate kindness, of disinterested zeal, of generous forbearance, of past struggles, of past victories, come rushing qt once upon my mind, I feel what language cannot embody, and thanks canfibt convey. I have learned, gentlemen, even to love the inanimate features of your natural landscapes, with which I have grown familiar during my repeated canvasses among your heath-crowned hills and your wide-spread rallies. But how much more, then, has my spirit bounded in answer to the cheers which roused the mountain-echoes, or to the welcome which ushered me into the busiest haunts of your living industry ! I trust I need not debar myself from the hope, that in the various courses of life opportunities may present themselves to me of showing an abiding sense of gratitude for your past favours. And I cannot help declaring, though it may seem to bespeak a more poignant sense of the loss I have sustained, that I do not think I could reconcile myself for the present to occupy any other seat or represent any other men."

He concluded with a solemn prayer for the welfare and happiness of each and all of his hearers ; and retired amid the universal cheers of the people.

A meeting of Lord Morpeth and Lord Milton's friends was held in the Music-hall immediately after the election. A very determined in- tention was expressed to retrieve the lost Riding ; for the victory of the Tories was attributed entirely to the Liberal party's neglect of the re- gistration. The meeting was addressed by Mr. Fawkes, the Honourable Edward Petre, Sir Francis Wood, Mr. C. Wood, and others. A luncheon was then served ; after which, Lord Morpeth and Lord Milton took leave of their friends. Lord Morpeth is described as having "evinced very strong emotions on the occasion."

SCOTLAND.

FreesareE. At the nomination on the 8th, a Chartist was proposed

in opposition to Captain Wemyss, and carried on the show of hands ; but he declined going to the poll, and the old Member was declared to be reelected. Captain Wemyss then addiessed the electors, delivering his opinions with wonted frankness. He referred to the former elec- tion— His opinions were the same now as they were then, with this exception, that he had become a convert to the Ballot. As to the question of the Corn- laws, he considered that the Ministry had been too late in bringing it in. They bad allowed Tory gold to buy up many of the boroughs in England, and by this means the Tories had got a majority over them. At a dinner given in Cupar to their countryman, now Lord Chancellor of Ireland, Captain Wemyss had said that Lord Melbourne would require to shake out a reef: he would now say Lord Melbourne had been too late in doing this : he had allowed the enemy to get too far ahead, and, to use a sea-phrase, a stern-chase would be a long one.

The Captain then touched upon his position in the county— He represented the county for the purpose of keeping all classes of Reformers together. He had been much persecuted by the Tories, and he knew all their tricks. If they could get another individual who would become an apprentice to him, and who would live with him a twelvemonth, which time it would take him to learn, then he would resign in his favour. It was known that the Chartist opponent had received aliment for his work, and it was what he ought to get; but he had received none, and he would have been 20,0001. richer had he not been Member for the county.

Captain Wemyss afterwards declared that he was not bound down to the Whigs : if Sir Robert Peel, when he came into office, were to propose good and liberal measures, he would support them. ROXBURGHSHIRE. Gross mismanagement, to use a mild term, is

apparent here. On Thursday week, the first day of election, at Flawick, there was a trifling fracas between some police brought from Edipburgh and the people; but by eight in the morning the police were withdrawn, and no prospect appeared of any other outrage. At four, however, when the street was crowded, and without any previous notification to the people or the Magistrates, Lord Lothian rode in at the head of a troop of dragoons, at such a rapid pan that in wheeling into line two of the horses fell. Shortly after, sonic of these troops issued from the Tory inn, escorting three voters, one of whom, it is said, had walked among the crowd unmolested throughout the day ! When the troops quitted the town, some boys pelted them; the soldiers turned, charging with drawn swords, and rode down several of the people. On the next day, the Magistrates had convened a meeting at the Town-hall to address the Home Secretary respecting the conduct of the Lord- Lieutenant. At five, the street was filled with people, who intended being present at the n ,eting. Again, and quite unannounced, in rode the Marquis of Lothian at a hard trot, at the head of his dragoons, straight through the crowd. The people gsoaned and hissed; but some gentlemen restrained them from overt acts, by assurances that redress would be obtained for the unauthorized conduct of the Lord-Lieutenant. One stone, however, was thrown. The Commanding-officer was in great wrath, and would not be pacified by the offer of a gentleman to pick the thrower out of the crowd. The Riot Act was read by the Lord-Lieutenant ; and the dragoons then rushed forward, turned, and traversed the pavement, cutting and thrusting at the people through the windows. Some were trampled down, two were wounded, and an old

man had his head cut open. Lord Lothian then called the troops off. In less than five minutes after they had turned, barricades were thrown across the street ; and if they had come back again, they would have been received with fire-arms.

STIRLINGSHIRE. Courtesies impeded the nomination on Saturday : Sir Michael Bruce would leave the precedence to Mr. Forbes, the old Tory Member ; Mr. Forbes would have Sir Michael put first, in defer- ence to his rank. At last the polite disputants resorted to trial by lot, which was won by Sir Michael's party ; and then, still polite, he chose to occupy the second place. The nomination was chiefly remarkable, however, for Sir Michael being seconded by the largest practical farmer in the county. The show of hands was in his favour. The poll re- versed the decision : the numbers at the close were said to be—for Forbes, 1,019; Bruce, 895.

WICK Bunons. The nomination took place on Wednesday week.

Mr. Loch, the Liberal Member' was opposed by Mr. Dempster, a Tory, and Mr. Swanston, a Chartist. The latter, in his nomination- speech, was very bitter in speaking of the new policy of Ministers. The Sheriff declared himself unable to decide who had the show of hands, the numbers were so equal. A poll was demanded for Mr. Loch and Mr. Dempster : at the close on Saturday, the numbers were said to be—for Loch, 270; for Dempster, 189. Mr. Swauston refused to go to the poll, since he thought it unconstitutional to do so upon a property- qualification.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN CITY. The scenes of anarchy and bad spirit with which the polling commenced on Tuesday week were continued till the close on Saturday, with augmented violence. Each side charges the other with unfair attempts to influence the votes, and with outrage ; but the charge of violence is mostly preferred by the Tories, while the Libe- rals are the strongest in the accusation of partiality. To judge as well as one can at a distance, by means of grossly contradictory accounts, both parties seem supported in their allegations by facts. It is said that as soon as Mr. O'Connell heard who was to be the Assessor, a Mr. Waller, he exclaimed that, no matter what the numbers might be for him, he should not be returned. The charges on this head are very distinctly stated by an elector, who writes to the Morning Chronicle from Dublin, on Saturday night-

" In Ireland, for a voter to establish his right to vote, on coming to the poll he must produce the certificate of his registry ; which is given to him by the Clerk of the Peace, under the authority of the Registering Barrister, and for which he is in no way responsible. On this occasion great numbers of these certificates describe the qualification as for house and premises,' or 'a Lease and concerns.' In all these cases the Assessor decided for the rejection of the votes; stating that it should have been for 'a house' alone, and that the inser- tion of the words 'and premises' in the certificate invalidated the vote; although the Act of Parliament distinctly states that the certificates shall be conclusive as to the right of voting; and notwithstanding that he thus assumed a power not given to the Judges, of overruling the decisions of the Registering Bar- rister, when favourable to the claimant. It may not, at first sight, be obvious how this decision injures the Liberal interest, as it would apparently tell equally against Tories and Liberals; but it is only necessary to point out that there are about 2,000 freemen in Dublin to whom it does not apply; five-sixths of whom, through bribery and gratitude to the Corporation who made them, inva- riably vote for the Tories. This happy invention for disfranchising whole con- stituencies has, for the first time, been brought into play, as it were by con- cert, in all places where, by the existence of freemen and an unscrupulous Sheriff, the Tories could gam by it; and Athlone, Dublin, and Waterford, will, in consequence, return five Tories to the next Parliament, in the face of undoubted Liberal majorities of the bona fide electors in each of those

places." • *Another decision of the Assessor made last night, when the success of the Liberals, with fair play, was pretty evident, was, that' Freemen, though only freemen fur one day, were entitled to vote' ; a decision which, although they might have carried the last Dublin election by it, they had not then the cou- rage to make, but which the near prospect of office and power has now given them heart to venture on." • • •

"Englishmen, who since the Reform Bill have seen the City of London polled out in one day, will be surprised at hearing that the City of Dublin can- not be polled out in five. But so it is. At five o'clock this evening, the latest hour allowed by law for keeping open the poll, about 200 electors ten- dered their votes for O'Connell and Hutton, accompanied by a declaration that they had attended at letter M booth, to which they belonged, without having it in their power during the whole of the election to record their votes. The explanation is this. The names beginning with that letter are by far the most numerous in Dublin; and of them the vast majority are Libe- rals. It was therefore obviously the interest of the Tories that obstacles should be thrown in the way of their voting. The first step to this end was to allot but one booth, and that most inconveniently placed, for the letter; the second, to place in it to receive the votes a deputy physically incompetent for the duty; who, by putting the oaths to all voters' occupied on the average five minutes in recording each vote. But will it be believed in England, that, not content with this, at about three o'clock this day, the Sheriff or his Assessor sent arbi- trarily to stop the polling at that booth, about 70 votes having been given in it for the Liberals and 13 for the Tories by that hour ? He actually did so; and it was only on the indignant remonstrance of those present that he con- sented to open it again at about four, and continue it until five, when the tender of the 200 voters incapacitated from voting took place." Further authentic evidence of this obstruction is given in a letter which Mr. Henry Grattan wrote to the Morning Register— "1 was stopped in the street today, by a number of electors, who complained to me that they could not poll in booth letter M. I went with them to the committee-rooms of Messrs. O'Connell and Hutton. I advised them to draw up a statement of their complaint, which they could, if re9uired, verify by affidavit. They did so; and, having signed it, 1 accompanied them to the assessor's room, and the paper was handed to the agent. I proceeded with a number of electors to booth M; and though upwards of 1,600 (as was stated to me) were to poll there, the booth was small, being in size not larger than any of the rest. There was no accommcd akin for the electors; and being in the open street, they were exposed to the torrents of rain that were then falling. I remained there for three quarters of an hour, and, with my watch in my hand, I minuted the poll ; and, from three minutes after three o'clock to twenty mi- nutes to four o'clock, the electors were polled at the rate of five minutes each man. I saw some unable to get in—numbers complained the could not poll—one elector had been there two days—another, with only one leg, had been standing half the day unable to get polled—others stated they could not wait, as they were obliged to leave Dublin that evening. The agent of Messrs. O'Connell and Hutton had each upwards of twenty certificates in their hands, and the electors were unable to come up—many went away tired and disgusted, and I saw them afterwards unable to get polled." These statements are made with so much confidence, and are SG faintly disputed on the other side, that much doubt is thrown on the final result of the poll as it was declared by the Sheriff at five o'clock on Sunday morning, as follows—West, 3,860; Grogan, 3,839 ; O'Con- nell, 3,602; Hutton, 3,662.

It is difficult to say how much the violence of the O'Connell party is to be attributed to exasperation at such proceedings. The first day that the polling commenced, Mr. O'Connell bitterly complained in public of the conduct of the Assessor : his language, indeed, was peaceful ; but his complaints and evident forebodings of failure were calculated in the highest degree to inflame the passions of the irritated people. Large bodies of men, it is said, maintained a lawless patrol in the streets, impeding some voters and driving others to the poll. Among those, the coal-porters were conspicuous. The following sidelong ex- planation of the Dublin Pilot of Friday tends to substantiate the asser- tions of the opposite party- " The multitude which surrounded the Court-house throughout the day was densely numerous ; but nothing could be more laudable than the peaceful and orderly manner in which they conducted themselves. A single votary of Bacchus was not to be seen in this immense concourse. The coal-porters left their work upon the Quays at an early hour; and in a body nearly three hundred strong marshalled themselves in the various avenues leading to the hustings: they were all of .them provided with whips, shillelaghs, or thongs, with which they with gentle violence' kept the crowd in good order, putting them off to either side of the road, and thus keeping a clear and unobstructed passage in the middle, through which the cars and other vehicles conveying the voters might pass. What a fine instance was there not here of disinterestedness and honest zeal in these poor fellows, sacrificing a day's earnings that they might contribute their humble efforts to facilitate the advancement of the popular cause ! 0 si sic server! Ubiquitous jarveys were flying all day through the town."

It is east to suppose that the city in which coal-porters, in bodies three hundred strong, were allowed to perform the office of police "with gentle violence," was not kept in the best order. The military were called out on Thursday to protect the voters as they proceeded to the poll ; and they were afterwards reinforced. But riots were of constant occurrence. The outrages upon individuals, however, most distinctly prove the uncontrolled state of the place. We copy a few instances from the accounts in the Times- " A large party of coal-porters proceeded in regular battle array up to Meath Street, to the house of an aged gentleman named Cradock, an officer on half- pay : the ruffians forced an entrance, and proceeded to search the premises, in order to drag the owner to the hustings to record his vote for the Repealers. They found the poor old gentleman in bed, unwell; and on declaring his ina- bility to comply with their behests, they fell upon him with bludgeons, and in- flicted two extensive fractures on his skull. The unhappy man was conveyed to the Meath Hospital; where, on inspection by the resident doctors, the wounds were pronounced to be of a decidedly dangerous character." The correspondent of the Times gives another tale from the mouth of Mr. Nugent, a Roman Catholic butcher-

" He assured me that he has been obliged to quit his house and provide him- self with a private lodging ; that the forebodings of the mob who attacked his house on Wednesday, and declared to him that there was not a grazier in Smithfield who would venture to make a sale to him, have been verified to the letter ; that he went to Smithfield on Thursday, and could not make a single purchase, and was seriously recommended by a grazier who was kindly disposed towards him, to hasten away from the market, lest he should meet with per- sonal violence. He assured me that he has already sustained a loss of about 60/. in damage to his house and furniture, and that he fears he shall be obliged to close and forsake an establishment in which he has resided and carried on business fir twenty-two years."

Another-

" Mr. William Gorman, barrister-at-law, was wantonly and brutally as- saulted in Capel Street, on Saturday last. Me lies seriously indisposed at his residence in Harcourt Street. Notwithstanding the numerous wounds in- flicted on his head, strong hopes are entertained of his recovery by Dr. Kirby, who is in attendance. The learned gentleman was with difficulty rescued from a ferocious mob, and escorted to his house in a great state of exhaustion by a body of mounted police."

One more-

" An old man named Cox, upwards of seventy years old, residing in Usher Street, who registered as a Conservative, had been waited upon to vote for Messrs. West and Grogan ; but be said it would injure him severely if he voted, and he was not further pressed. A body of coal-porters was sent to bring him, but he refused to go, and barricaded his house. They went away disconcerted ; and a second time they came, be thought to get out by the back way, but the premises were surrounded. Seeing no chance of escape, he took with him his gun for protection and climbed to the top of a house in his yard to escape through a neighbour's house. He was seen, and menaces uttered against him; and in raising his gun to his shoulder it went off, as we are informed, uninten- tionally on the part of Cox, and the discharge took effect, and shot off the finger of a coal-porter. He got into a neighbour's premises; he let himself down out of a loft by a rope, and was, as he thought, secure from his pursuers; but he had no sooner alighted than he was secured and carried off to Green Street, put into a cellar, his life threatened, a knife displayed, and told that his throat would be cut if he did not vote for O'Connell and Hutton. His coat was torn, and he was otherwise ill-used ; and finally, seeing there was no escape, he consented to be brought to the booth, and there stated to the deputies that it was from fear and danger of his life he gave his vote for O'Connell and Hutton. This fact was entered on the poll-book, and informations of the facts were lodged by him at the Head-office of Police. Cox got 30s. in silver, to pay for his coat, from some of the agents for the Liberal candidates. He had to sleep at an hotel from apprehension ; and four policemen were put in charge of the house and premises." The subjoined version of this same story, given by the Dublin Pilot, is a sample of the contradictions to be met with- " Mr. Cox, of Usher Street, was waited on by a parcel of men belonging to the Tory party, who thought to compel him to vote for them ; but he refused ; and after some time they went away, swearing they would kill him. In a short time after, a few of the Liberal party waited on him ; when he imagined that they were the same persons who first visited him, and, very unfortunately for all parties, Mr. Cox fired on the people, and shot a man named Campbell very severely in the baud. Mr. Cox subsequently voted for O'Connell and Hutton.' The same paper supplies one or two charges of violence against the Tories-

" About one o'clock, a riot, which for some time assumed rather a serious appearance, occurred in Capel Street. The origin of it we could not correctly ascertain but of this fact we are cognizant, that a person named Scott, a friend of West and Grogan, drew a loaded pistol to fire on the people ; but the deadly weapon was at once rescued from him; and although this act was in itself quite sufficient to enrage the populace, yet they behaved with the most steady and cool forbearance." The next is headed " Orange insult to a clergyman "-

0 In booth K, a Catholic clergyman came up to vote ; when West's agent said to him, Oh, here is one of the eurpliced ruffians ' An affidavit to the fact was sworn, and laid before the Sheriff."

The Liberals having expressed a doubt as to the legality of the de- claration on Sunday morning, the Sheriff went to the Court-house on Monday, and repeated the declaration.

The correspondent of the Times says that the Castle tradesmen who voted for the Tories have received circulars from Mr. Pooley, the Comptroller, ordering them to send in their accounts.

MEATH. Mr. Corbally has retired, to make way for Mr. O'Connell ; who, with Mr. Henry Grattan, was returned without opposition on Fri- day ; being proposed by Mr. Corbally himself.

CORK COUNTY has been a candidate for the honour of returning Mr. O'Connell. As soon as it was known that he was thrown out at Dublin, Mr. Standish Barry retired to make room for him. Mr. Burke Roche stood with him. The Tory candidates were Mr. Phillpotts Leader and Mr. Longfield.

In the letter accepting the invitation of the electors to stand, Mr. O'Connell says-

" We cannot disguise to ourselves the fact, that my defeat in Dublin will give an insolent confidence to our enemies—to the bigoted enemies of Ireland. They will gladly hail it as a proof of the declining strength of the popular power, a proof which would be annihilated by a victory in my name in such a county as Cork. It strikes me that we should thus counteract time Dublin loss. It is quite true that such loss was occasioned by means which betoken the depravity of our adversaries, and not any alteration in popular opinion or in popular determination. Still, it requires to be counteracted ; and such counteraction would be only the more powerful by my being unnecessarily returned for your county. But I do not think I could be personally present in Cork before Wednesday morning. Under these circumstances, I leave myself in sour hands. You command my services—you command my political action. If it is thought fit to elect me for Cork county, I will sit for that county, and none other, in this Parliament. The coming into operation of the Municipal Bill, however insufficient in other respects that bill may be, will enable me to regain Dublin."

CORK CITY. The Liberals, Callaghan and Murphy, triumphed here, over Colonel Chatterton and Mr. Morris. The Tories complain of in- timidation and obstruction. On the 8th, an elector was killed. The Cork Constitution says-

" The organization was complete. Every 'enemy ' was known and marked; and, as he quitted the booth, a chalk on Ids hack commended him to justice.' If the military were outside, execution was deferred ; but they ' dogged ' him till the danger was past, and then a shout or a wink pointed him for ven- geance. The women were usually the first ; the courageous men came after, and the unfortunate fellow was beat, and cut, and trampled. Then is the triumph of diabolical enmity. A demoniac shout is raised, and even a woman dances in the blood! We write a literal fact : when Mr. Norwood's skull was broken in the manner described on Thursday, one of the female followers of Murphy and Callaghan actually danced in the blood that lay red upon the ground."

CARLOW COUNTY. The nomination of Colonel Bruen and Mr. Ban- bury, Tories, and Mr. Daniel O'Connell junior and Mr. Ashton Yates, Liberals, passed off more quietly than might have been expected. Mr. Yates was seconded by a "Father," and Mr. Daniel O'Connell was proposed by another of the fraternity. Both parties agreed that there should be no speaking, in order to save the chance of a riot. Mr. O'Connell, the man himself, was present, and did his best to keep the people quiet. He issued an order that all sticks should be delivered up by the peasantry who crowded into the town : it ran thus—" No sticks. Daniel O'Connell." In less than twenty minutes great numbers were deposited in Honton's Hotel, where Mr. O'Connell was staying, or in the committee-room of the Liberals. One party of peasantry, some hundreds strong, flung theirs away into the fields the moment they heard the order ; and a shower of sticks fly jog through the air attested, by a strange phmnomenon, the power of O'Connell. The town was lined with military ; artillery was stationed in the streets, and the place wore the air of a town in a state of civil war ; but the day passed with- out a disturbance of any moment. The Whig accounts complain that Mr. Doyne, Colonel Bruen's agent, attended at the polling-booth, and ostentatiously took down the names of those who voted for the Liberals.

BELFAST. The poll finally stood thus on Saturday evening—Emer- son Tennent, 927; Johnson, 913; Lord Belfast, 321 Ross, 792. Charges of obstruction, bribery, and personation abound- " In the first place,' sass the Northern Inig," there was the system of delaying, for the purpose of preventing part of the electors from voting. In one booth, this system was carried so far, that, as we are informed, a whole hour, or even more, was occasionally spent in polling a single tally ! • • * The consequence is, that it is impossible but that a large number of the elec- tors (probably from 80 to 100) who belong to the particular booth will be unable to vote at all! Corruption and abomination have stalked abroad, almost without an attempt at disguise. One man, when on his oath in the booth, stated that the Tories had offered him a bribe of 30/. Another elector mentioned elsewhere, that a leading person in the Tory party had tempted him with 100/. to be applied in corrupting two or three voters."

The same paper relates, among others, rather a striking story of perjury and personation- " In booth No. 2 (B and D), when the Tory strength was nearly exhausted, a broken tally of two was brought up, for Mr. Johnson. The two names on the tally were= John Gilmore Dunbar,' and 'James Buchanan.' Mr. Dun. bar's vote was admitted, of course, without hesitation. When the name of Buchanan (registered from a house in Verner Street) was called, the agent for Lord Belfast (Mr. Smith) at once suspected that all was not right. The un- fortunate man—not Buchanan (who had been two years out of his house)— but a hired perjurer, who had been sent up to personate him—looked ghastly pale ; his lips quivered, and his whole frame seemed agitated. It was whispered to the agent, that the man was a personator.' The wretch took the Bible he his hand, and, in a state of awful trepidation, proceeded to repeat the false oath. When he came to the solemn words, So help me God,' there was a cry of Perjury, perjury !—that man is William M'Dowell the carpenter, and not Buchanan, the sawyer.' This was too much for him. He had struggled hard with his conscience, in order to earn the wages of crime; but the better im- pulse, fortunately, prevailed, when he was thus confronted ; Ile dropped the sacred book, in dismay, and fled from the booth, a dreadful living testimony to Tory criminality. As he was going out of the booth, Mr. Smith said to him, ' You have saved your soul from perjury ; and you will bless me, and curse the party who tempted you, on your deathbed.'"

CLARE COUNTY. The nomination proceedings at Ennis, for the county of Clare, commenced on Saturday, in the midst of turbulence. As soon

as it was announced that Mr. Vandeleur, the Tory candidate, was ap- proaching the town at the head of his friends, says the Times, a mob armed with all sorts of weapons set out to meet them, intent on raising an affray. The Tory party, who were chiefly mounted on horseback, were met by the mob in Gaol Street, and were directly assailed in the most determined manner. The attack, it is said, was Made under the con- duct and encouragement of a person dressed as a Catholic priest. A serious melee was the result, during which many riders were dragged to the ground and shockingly ill-used; their horses, denuded of saddle and bridle, rushing uncontrolled in every direction— Mr. Vandeleur, seeing the danger which threatened his friends, resolved to share it; and quitting his carriage, mounted a horse and placed himself at their. head. His appearance was the signal for increased violence ; and, we regret to say, he too quickly became a sufferer. His hat was first knocked off by a stone sung at him, and immediately after another, thrown with more deadly aim, struck him on the cheek and laid it open to a considerable extent : fortunately for him he was not knocked from his horse; and he then rode through the town followed by his assailants and some friends, and at length got shelter in the house of a friend. His supporters were, however, dispersed in every direc- tion. This disgraceful scene took place in the presence of a large Police force and two Stipendiary Magistrates, Messrs. Croker and Barron, at whose dis- posal was also a troop of dragoons and a large infantry force; yet not the least attempt was made to prevent or put a stop to so daring an outrage. One 'poor man belonging to Mr. Vandeleur's party, who was taken to the hospital wounded, died shortly after his admission. The nomination had been announced to begin at one, but on the opening of the Court-house doors at half-past twelve, it was found that a dense crowd of Mr. O'Brien's and Mr. Macnamara's supporters had been admitted to the body of the building. It was equally impossible to obtain a seat, or to hear more than single words of what was said by the speakers, the uproar was so sustained. Father Quaid, a Roman Catholic priest, made a speech in the Irish language, which, both from the violent gestures of the speaker and from the few words which were caught by English ears, seemed to be of a highly-inflammatory nature. The show of hands being in favour of the Liberal candidates, a poll was demanded for Mr. Vandeleur, and fixed for Monday : a heavy rain coming on, the speakers were constrained to retire, and the mob ulti- mately dispersed without further riot. On Tuesday, Mr. Vandeleur resigned, complaining of obstruction offered to his voters. The other side aver that he had polled out.

LONGFORD has been the scene of disgraceful riots. One of Mr. Lefroy the Tory candidate's voters had his head fractured by a blow. A supporter of Mr. Henry and Mr. Luke White, the Liberals, was cut down by an officer of Lancers, whom he had struck.

Lourn COUNTY election produced what the Tory papers call "a reign of terror" in Dundalk. Mr. Pilkington, a Protestant clergyman, was cruelly beaten on Tuesday ; and a Magistrate who went to his rescue received very rough treatment.

TIPPERARY. Fierce riot disturbed the election at Clonmel. As some dragoons were escorting a body of electors into the town, on Monday, a quantity of stones were thrown down upon them from an arch under which they passed, and three were knocked from their horses. The Chief Constable was struck from his horse with a stone. The Police were ordered to fire : they did so, and four people fell, badly if not mortally wounded. A Mr. Perry defended himself from an at- tack with a dagger, and he stabbed a man in the chest.

The disorders were not confined to the town. On Monday, there was a riot at Bansha, where one man was shot dead, while nine were badly wounded by the military or police ; and at New Birmingham, near Killenaule, three country-people were shot dead and others wounded in an affray. On Tuesday, when the Liberal Members, Maher and Cave, were returned, Clonmel had become quiet.

Maixow. Mr. Longfleld retired from the contest before the termi- nation of the poll, on Friday ; leaving Sir D. Norreys to be declared. The violences that led to that step began with the nomination in the Court-house; at which some priests took a prominent part. After a storm of personal abuse, a desperate affray occurred. A crowd of people rushed into the building and drove the Tories from their station in the gallery- " This did not satisfy the blood-thirsty wretches," says an account, which bears, however, marks of partisanship; "who, perceiving that Mr. Longfield, his proposer, seconder, agents, and friends, were beneath them, mounted the gallery, and leaped ou the heads of those gentlemen, who had no means of escape, as they were pressed together by the mob surrounding them at all points. During this scene, the ruffians in the lower part of the court were yelling on the desperadoes above; amidst which was to be heard,' urder the — Orangemen !' the cries of the injured, the screams of those who saw no- thing before them but death, (many of whom were Sir Denham's own friends,) and the shouts of Dr. Linehane and Mr Braddle, both Justices of the Peace, to spare the bees of the Tories. Here Mr. Ware, Justice of the Peace, called upon the Stipendiary for assistance, to endeavour to protect the lives of those who were in jeopardy; but the Stipendiary was unable to stir ; and the fright he appeared in seemed to make him regret that he had not taken the precau- tions be was bound to have taken; and there he was in the closely-packed crowd, looking up to Father Collins in the most piteous manner, imploring him to save their lives."

WATERFORD CITY. Mr. Wyse and Mr. Barron retired before the close of the poll, on Monday ; when Mr. Christmas and Mr. Reade were declared duly elected. The contest was disgraced by savage riots. In the course of it, one Morgan fired a pistol, in self-defence, say the Tories ; but the persons he shot were boys and girls, eleven in number. One of them died, and Morgan was committed at the Police-office for trial.' The Sheriff was thrown down and trampled on ; and four houses were "wrecked"; one of them being "literally torn down by the mob."
