AYLESBURY. The Tory candidates, Bickford and Praed, have been 1

elected, and Lord Nugent rejected. The numbers were—for Rick. ford 865, Praed 657, Lord Nugent MO. Lord Nugent declared at the nomination, on Thursday, that bribery and intimidation had been era. ployed against him ; and he especially charged Mr. Praed with having prevailed on Lord Buckinghamshire to coerce his tenants. He also mentioned several individual cases of intimidation and corruption.

BATH. The purity of election in this city is destroyed, thanks to the aid rendered to the Tories by Captain Scobell and his Whig supporters. We shall give the details in the words of a correspondent, on whose intelligence and integrity every reliance may be placed. " The state of the poll at its close was—Lord Powerscourt 1086, Mr. Bruges 1024, General Palmer 966, and Mr. Roebuck 910. At the last election, Mr. Roebuck polled 1,036. This time he had to contend with bribery that was gross and open, with treating and hot suppers that have been offered to the electors for some weeks, and with intimidation, and gross, undeserved, and most false abuse. The constituency, as regards the electors, stands thus—

Polled electors, about 2,000

Persons registered, now dead or disqualified 190 Persons who would not have polled under any circumstances 300 Wesleyan Methodists and Whigs who abstained from voting 410

Total constituency, about 2,900

Mr. Roebuck's supporters suffered great injury from the conduct of Captain ScobelL The most simple calculation must have proved to

him, that under the most favourable circumstances his friends could not collect 500 votes; yet he thrust himself forward at a very critical moment of the canvass, and his canvassers sought to gain the votes of old supporters of Mr. Roebuck by gross misrepresentation ; and then, finding, that though in many instances they had succeeded, their can- didate had no chance, retired in the most unhandsome manner. The effect was, that 400 Whigs and Methodists stood aloof; and many of Mr. Roebuck's former supporters, weakened in their attachment to him, took bribes. Nothing could be more gratuitously mischievous than Scobell's conduct. It is, of course, difficult to say, what maybe the future result of a contest here ; bribery having commenced, it will, no doubt, extend. The Radicals, by keeping together and holding no terms with their aristocratic opponents, may regain their ground. Their present loss is owing to the refusal of the Whigs to grant the Ballot. "At the nomination no speeches were made, though the Tories have printed several, said by them to have been delivered. A large band of men, in smock-frocks, brought by the Tories from the country, took

o, ion of the front of the hustings, and kept up a contirsial clamour

141.- the Liberals. An attempt was made by Mr. Roebuck to have them displaced, but without effect. Their banners were torn down, and many of them severely punished ; but they were too rumerous to L e silenced. Their conduct excited the indignation of ti e Liberals,

who, when the Tories presented themselves, retaliated ; and thus he nomination was made a dumb show. The town has been die- :eared for several days by riotous Tory parties, and the contrast be- tween the present and former elections has been very remarkable.

An Irish spirit this time prevailed, and the grossest acts of vio- lence were committed. The Guildhall has been cm,wded with prisoners and the streets with reeling drunkards. In 1832 and 1634, not one charge VMS brought before the Magistrates in any way ll

ceable to the elections that occurred in those years. But the sup- porters of the Church and the advocates of the observance of the Sabbath have changed the scene. Upon the day of polling, bank-

notes and sovereigns were pressed upon the acceptance of numerous electors. One voter to whom the bribery oath was administered turned away when it was read to him, saying, "he did not like it," and re- fused to vote. Another man, who personated his deceased father and took the oath of identity in the presence of Mr. Roebuck, walked home, and in a few hours afterwards was a corpse ! One elector received two guineas for a rabbit, and another a guinea for a cabbage. Other similar cases are numerous. The Whig Lord Manvers wrote to his agent to press the tenants upon his estate in the city to vote for POWerVCOUrt and Bruges ; and found in his agent a willing executioner of his orders.

" Thus has reaction, as it is called, been exhibited at Bath. If Mr. Roebuck is not returned to Parliament for another constituency, when an election shall again occur here he will be brought forward in conjunction with Mr. H. W. Hobhouse ; whose conduct has been very honourable. It is, however, most sincerely to be hoped that Mr. Roebuck will still sit in this Parliament. Of all public men, he has most strenuously endeavoured to maintain a high standard of public morals and public principle."

BERKSHIRE. Mr. Eyston, the Whig, has retired ; promises having been obtained from Mr. Pusey to support the Government measures for settling the Irish Tithe and Irish Municipal questions, though he declined to pledge himself to vote for the Church-rate scheme.

BERWICK-UPON-TWEED. In spite of the contradictions that came upon us from different quarters, it turns out that our first information respecting the probable result of the election here was correct. Sir Rehire Dunkin has been defeated by Mr. William Holmes.

BEVERLEY. Bribery was never more openly employed, even at Beverley, than at this contest ; which ended in the return of Hogg and bane Fox. The numbers pulled were respectively 623 and 582 for the successful candidates, against 380 and 347 for Rennie and Clay, who were beaten. A correspondent of the Globe says- " The result of the poll is certainly very different to the expectations of all parties; for the Toties themselves did not calculate upon the success of Mr. Fox, whom they merely brought forward to assist them in the expenses of the content, as the Carlton Club would only allow Mr. Hogg 1000/. The triumph of the Tories, however, is doomed tee be of short duration, as not only was bribery mimed to a very great extent, but threats and intimidationavere also resorted to •' a petition is, therefore, determined upon. Nor will the matter rest there, for actions are about being commenced against several of the more weibby of the Tory supporters for the recovery of penalties under the Bribery Act, it being coasidered that the persons who gave the bribe are much more reprehensible than the deluded wretches who received it. The bribery oath was tendered to every voter, and only two persons had the courage to refuse to take it: indeed, the persons who were guilty of taking the money were told by mid the agents of the Tories that they could as easily swallow that oath as they could a glass of water. The respectable portion of the inhabitants are much grieved that the town should be so disgraced, as two candidates of Tory principles have not been sent to Parliament from this borough for upwards a forty years However, it will only net as an incentive to use their utmost en- deavours towards the introduction of the Ballot, and then where would a Tory be found to show his face? "

BIRMINGHAM. Messrs. Attwood and Scholefield were formally declared on Thursday. The numbers were—Attwood 2165, Scholefield 2139, Stapleton 1049. At the election in 1835, the numbers were- Attwood 1741, Scholefield 1675, Spooner (the Tory), 912; so that the advance of the several parties, since that time, has been 424, 464, and 127, respectively. So much for Brummagem "reaction."

A correspondent favours us with the following local details. " The nomination on Monday was ludicrously one-sided. The people in the Hall would not hear, nor allow to be heard, one word of the Tory address ; audit the show he had not one solitary hand out of his own committee. On Tuesday there were partial rows at two of the booths ; and, in each instance, a head or two broken. The only fellow really punished, how- ever, was a brutal rascal of a policeman, who had struck one of the spectators very severely and unprovokedly. In the afternoon, when the polling had closed, a band of two or three hundred Reds collected in front of Dee's Hotel, Stapleton's head-quarters ; and when the Tories, One after another, came perking forward at the windows, which they re- peatedly did in a very bravado style, the crowd hissed and groaned. This course had proceeded for some time, when, of a sudden, the great door of the yard and the door of the hotel were thrown open, and a posse of fellows armed with sticks sallied out, and began to lay on right and left with great good will and effect. The people were scattered, but soon rallied, and their numbers being increased, the sallying party were driven in with considerable loss—of sticks to wit, and some few hats. The steam was now up, and an attack was immediately made on the windows, which were broken with a precision and expedition quite re- freshing,—only one pane in the attic was left whole. The gentlemen of the committee, on the windows being broken, had the Riot Act rearl and the military sent for; and until the military arrived, the "young men" " amused themselves by tearing up the slates of the hotel roof and the bricks of the chimnies, and pouring them down upon the people. When Lieutenant Colonel Wallace (4th Dragoon Guards, Wallace of Greenock's brother,) arrived, he found the people very strongly excited, and the affair assuming rather a serious aspect. He at once perceived the estrenae hazard of any military movement ; and proposed, instead, to ask Messrs. Attwood and Scholefield to come up, and request the crowd

to disperse. Stapleton, to du ham justiee, sew the propriety ut tins course ; and joined in advising it. 'rhe two Members went up accord- ' ingly ; and were received as men who cast pearls before swine inva- riably are. They were grossly insulted by the Tories, one of whom • -

put his fist in Attwood's face, and another called out to throw him over the window. The intercession, so well meant, was of comae soon at an end. The crowd continued, and the row went on. The aid of the troops was again most energetically invoked : again Colonel Wallace interposed, and, himself addressing the people, entreated them to accompany him to Radenhurst's, where we were at dinner. His entreaty was successful—they came down to a man. We then got Attwood and Scholefield out to give them a few words of advice ; to which George Muntz added a sentence or two, in his usual happy way ; and in a quarter of an hour there were not five persons in a group left in New Street. The scene at Radenburst's was very striking. There were no lights but the two large lamps (4. the hotel. On the balcony stood the speakers and their friends, eight or ten -in number, strongly relieved by the lights immediately at their feet and

below, the centre brightly illuminated, and the wings stretching away on either side into darkness absolute ; the crowd not less than ten thousand in number. On Wednesday morning, the Tories, having

been disappointed of a riot the evening before, determined to make a fresh attempt, by the introduction of a troop of the Worcester Yeo- manry, under the command of James Taylor, the mover of Staple- ton ; a very proper person, no doubt, to deal justly between the Re- formers and the Tories. The gallant Yeomen, however, behaved, notwithstanding the zeal of their gallant Commander, with most commendable and Christian-like prudence. Finding that they were more likely to get broken heads than give them, they first retreated to the yard of the Hen and Chickens Jnn, and then, stealing out by a back gateway, made good the way home with most praiseworthy expe- dition, and, saving a little pelting from the boys and the women, un-

scathed. The announcement of the candidates passed off quietly, and to-day all is still. So much for our three days ; which I doubt not the Tories will endeavour to make appear very formidable."

BRIDGEWATER. The election IVaa gained by the Tories in the manner described by Sir Thomas Lethbridge in the following letter to

the Taunton Courier. "George Hotel, Dridgewator, 26th July 1837.

" Sir—I hasten to inform you, that the same may be made as public as pos- sible, that at this place yesterday occurred the most scandalous, the most gross

and illegal conduct, that has been hitherto exhibited by the Tories and Conser- vatives of this borough, and by which the elective franchise of the majority of the electors has been fraudulently destroyed.

" I am, Sir, one of the candidates: a requisition baying been sent to my re- sidence, twelve miles distant, early in the morning of yesterday, the 25th instant, and which was signed in an hour and a half, the preceding evening, by 208 of the most independent and influential of the electors (the gross number of whom being about 500), by which requisition I was desired to join Mr. Richard Brinsley Sheridan, of Frampton House, Dorset, in raider to give the Liberal electors a chance of meeting their opponents upon fair and open terms. Mr. Sheridan had before been a candidate, and would have been returned at the last election had not the same outrageous conduct of the Tories prevented it, the circumstances relating to which would have been all completely laid base aod exposed had the sitting Member, Mr. Broadwood, dared to defend his mat against the petition to the late House of Commons from certain electors, and had not the demise of the Crown put an end to the Pludameent. " I obeyed the requisition; and early yesterday morning met my talented young friend Mr. Sheridan on the hustings; where, afrer a severe struggle in a broiling sun, we succeeded, in spite of a hired and ruffian mob, ( who were for the most part not electors, ) in obtaining a preponderating show of hands in our favour, and such a number of pure and independent promises as gave us a cer- tain prospect of our return at the poll this morning. After visiting our com- mittee, and making the necessary arrangemente for the poll, several of our agents at twelve o'clock at night arrived, and informes1 us that our opponents, Mr. Broadwood and Mr. Courtney, with their mincipal leaders, Air. Rus- combe Poole, Mr. John Trevor, and five or six other attornierr of the town, had got together at the Clarence Hotel, shut up in an apartment there, about 100 of the lower class of the electors, with a promise to each that if they remained there the night and polled in the morning for their candidates, Messrs. Broad. woos! and Courtenay, they should each receive from 10 to 20 sovereigns a man. By this course of proceeding, Mr. Sheridan and myself immediately perceived that our election was lost, unless indeed we had chosen to imitate a conduct so unworthy and illegal ; and the only course left for us MU to quit this scene of depravity and fraud, and leave the borough to its fate, and in the bands of men who had again resorted to means so disgraceful and unjust."

BRIDPORT. The Reformers have returned both their candidates.

Mr. Swynfen Jervis was the chief object of the Tory attack ; and, to prevent his return, bribery, intimidation, cajolery, and every species of

electioneering unfairness and rascality, were resorted to. The Tories had one of the most able electioneering joekies in the kingdom, acting under an eminent London solicitor ; but all would not do. The Liberals saw the cards in their hand ; they were resolved that the Tory should not win by tricks against their honours; and, by trumping the Tories' knave of clubs, they spoiled his game. The numbers at the close were—Warburton 283, Jervis 232, and Bailey 212.

BURY. There was a good deal of rioting and drunkenness on the election-day. Houses were broken open, windows smashed, and several persons severely hurt. Mr. Walker, the Whig and successful candidate, dared not show his face.

CAMBRIDGE. At the nomination, on Tuesday, :Mr. Spring Rice talked vague Liberalism, and assured the electors that Ministers were seriously occupied with the subject of national education. Mr. Knight ridiculed the pretensions of the Whigs to exclusive loyalty, with much bitterness, and like one anticipating defeat. He was not deceived. At the close of the poll on Wednesday, the numbers were— for Rice 682, Pryme 673, Knight 609, Sutton 595. The Tories declare that bribery and intimidation carried the election. We have no doubt that both sides used all the means they had at command to gain the victory. Mr. Knight, smarting under his defeat, insinuated that the

secret-service-money had been employed to gain votes, and threatened a petition_ Itwas fit he should tell them, that it must be considered hereafter whether or not it was proper, that on account of some of the acts of the public functiona- ries on the present occasion, and on other grounds is hich it would be imprudent now more particularly to advert to, an investigation of the merits of this elec- tion should take place before a higher tribunal. If he regretted that they were

not represented according to their wishes an:I sentiments, his regret was in- creased when he was obliged to confess that he could not help entertaining the impression that they themselvai had partly oat of their own pockets furnished the means of their defeat—they knew what he meant, for they all paid taxes. What might be the amount of secret service.money in the next vote of credit, he did not really know. This, however, he wouhl say, at the last election a Conservative Ministry were in power, men of talent and capacity, fit to direct the affairs of a gredt Government and the concerns of a great nation, though in some respects he differed from them : if that Government had been impure and dishonest enough to employ the money of the public in neutralizing the public voice, it would not have been a majority of fifteen that would have returned Mr. Pryrne as one of their representatives. Another party were now in power, and when they considered that the same gentleman who on that occasion succeeded by a majority of only 15 had now a majority of upwards of 50, knowing the promises wli,ch he himself had received, and the failures in the performance of them which bad occurred, it was impossible not to attribute the fact to circum- stances which ought not in a free country and under an honest Government to exist. It was necessary to the cause of common honesty and good faith be- tween man and man, without which the affairs of human life could not prosper, that they should all know the names of those who lowing signed the requisition to his honourable friend and him-elf had either abstained altogether from voting,

or voted on the other side. Ile was unwilling to trust himself to talk on such n subject, lest be should use language, in the heat of the moment, which he might, on subsequent reflection, have cause to regret. But when they recol- lected that the requi-dt ion had been explained in every instance to every elector who had signed it, by honourable and intelligent men, who were incapable of practising any thing like a deception, he could not but attribute their conduct to some improper and unconstitutional means which had been employed to operate upon them.

CHELTENHAM. There was some quarrelling here; which is not to be wondered at, considering a Berkeley was in the case. The follow- ing paragraph has appeared in the newspapers.

" Major Chalmer waited this morning on Captain CravenTerkelev with a message from Captain Youngliusband, to the effect that, as chairmau of Mr. Peel's committee, he (Captain Youngisusband) considered that the epithet • false,' used by Captain Berkeley in his committee-room, Wil9 an epithet personally reflecting on Mr. Peel's committee, rind requiring Captain Berkeley to retract it or to apologize. Captain Berkeley replied that, believing tsis assertion to be true, he would neither retract nor apologize, and immediately referred Major Chalmer to Captain Carrington Smith, as Isis friend. A meeting took place in a field near Arle, and, after all exchange of shots, Major Chatter withdrew his friend from the round, expressing himself satisfied, if Captain C. Smith vas; which was assented to by Captain Smith : he, at the same time, observing, that his principal, Captain Craven Berkeley, was not, and that he (Captain Berkeley) insisted on keeping his ground without apologizing or giving any explanation. " F. D. Cisai.sr en, "Cheltenham, July 27. E. C. Ssarra."

COVENTRY. There was some violent work here. The Coventry Rerald of Saturday says-

" As Mr. Ellice, accompanied by ten or a dozen of his friends, was passing along White Prima' Lane, last night, about ten o'clock, on his way to Mr. Gilbert's, at the Crown, two ruffians were standing under the workhouse wall, one of whom drew a clasp-knife and struck at Mr. Ellice; the blow was re- ceived hy Mr. W. Marston, which cut through his coat and wounded his hand. A person was taken into custody, and we have no doubt that the case will be made out. A specimen this of the opposition Liberal principles meet in Coventry."

This is not the way to gain an election. Mr. Ellice the Liberal Whig and Mr. Williams the Radical were triumphantly reelected : Ellice had 1778, Williams 1748, Thomas 1511, Hill 1:393, and Bell 4:3 votes. We have seen no report of Mr. Ellice's speech, but can easily guess what it was like—full of Liberal professions, so put as to pledge the sly gentleman to nothing.

EAST SURRY. The nomination was yesterday, at Croydon. Cap- tain Alsager was proposed by Mr. Nottage, seconded by Mr. Paynter ; Mr. Kemble proposed by Mr. Stringer, seconded by Mr. Warrington; the Honourable Locke King proposed by Mr. Palmer, seconded by Lord Russell; Mr. Angerstein proposed by Mr. Levison Gower, se- conded by Mr. D'Evricourt. Angerstein declared in favour of

a refsrm of tl.e: eds. Tne show of bands was in favour of the T,

Evesttesi. Peter's " ponies " have won the race. Borthwick and Rushout Bowles polled respectively 166 and 168 votes, against Lord Marcus Hill's 156, of which 119 were plumpers. A correspondent remonstrates against the wholesale charges of corruption under which the Evesham consituency labour ; and unless Lord Marcus Hill " ponied" as well as Peter, there is, it must be allowed, a considerable body of honest electors in Evesham-

" It may be fashionable," says our friend, "to abuse the whole constituency of Eveshain; but ellen this is done, it is usually unnoticed, that Lord Grey's second but imperfect Reform Bill is most to blame, which protracted the existence of the poor and ignorant freemen, to deluge the household and respect- able constituency. The single votes polled for Lord Hill show that be is beaten only by the ragamuffins backed up by all the State parsons in the borough and ueighliourhood. Bribery the most unblushing was carried on, to induce voters to support the coalition. But a subscription is now rapidly augmenting among the Reform leaders, to defray the expense of a petition against the return, on the ground of bribery and corruption ; which we are determined to prosecute."

'We earnestly wish success to the good mien and true of Evesham. Al! this profligate work tells in favour of the Ballot—that, at least, is some consolation for its immediate mischief.

EXETER. There was no contest here ; Divett and' Follett being reelected without opposition. Sir William Follett delivered a rather feeble speech ; from which, however, we select one passage, to show that the Tories are prepared to bid for public support on the score of their intentions to promote national education. Referring to some remarks of Mr. Divett, who spoke before him, Sir William said- " 1 agree with my honourable colleague in many of the observations which he has made to you ; on many subjects I agree with him most cordially, especially as regards education. I have a confidence, in which I am second to no man in this country, whatever may be his political opinions—I have a confidence in the good sense and good feeling of the people of this country, which tells me that the best, that tile surest foundation of public happiness and security, is the general education of the people."

FINSUURY. The Tories resorted to unjustifiable means to injure Mr. Duncombe. A Mr. W. Daniel of Chancery Lane, in a letter published in the Tory newspapers, misrepresented the conduct of Mr. Duncombe in relation to the acceptance mentioned in our report of the proceedings in the Vice-Chancellor's Court last week ; arid then told a story about a dishonoured check, on the credit of an elector, who

vouched for the truth of the tale at one of the meetings of Mr. vat's r. vat's friends-

" About the latter end of March last, (said Daniel,) you being insta money, applied to a personal friend, and requested him to give you cwasat;:r; your check for 2001. drawn upon your father's bankers, which you repreat ter would be paid on the 1st of April; believing your representation, your f ' 'em- took your check and gave you his cash. On the 31at of March, you 'skated to your friend that your father's account being rather low, it tr.:oldie. an accommodation if he would not present the check until the 4th of eine and that, on that day, it would be paid. On the 1st of April, as soon it; th'i bank opened for business, you caused to be presented another check for the 115T5 2001., and received the cash. And on the 4th, when your friend presented check for payment, it was dishonoured ; and though another quarter-day ttss passed, your 'friend still remains your creditor."

To this charge Mr. Duncombe gave a distinct denial on the butt. ings, at the nomination on Monday-

" This morning I received a letter from an individual calling himself nabitl ( Groaning ; during which Mr. Daniel, who was on the platform, took off Ai; hat and bowed to Mr. Duncombc.) Yes, there he is ; and I tell him that i is in a court of justice he shall answer for the libel—the false and scandals:, slander—which he has dared to utter against me. ( Cheering and groans froa the few Tories on the hustings.) It is one of the greatest falsehood, that lie, ever been propagated ; and in the mean time, I denounce Daniel as a sham!. a liar, and a coward. Now, having disposed of all these weak inventions of the enemy—[Mr. Daniel said—" You have have not ; I have got a witness Di the hustings." This was followed by great uproar, and cries of " Read, rue and "What is it ? Having disposed of these weak inventions, which hoe so signally failed, I will only say that I am sorry that there are not more Tay candidates on this occasion. Mr. Perceval, as a gentleman, is to be belie* on his word. I find no fault with him for his opposition on this occasion. I have met him here, and I shall meet him on public principles alone; I ilaa meet him entirely on the sentiments which his address contains. I will ea descend to personal or private slander towards any individual ; and I rem that Mr. Perceval should have on his committee those who will descend loin to beat by foul means, when they know that fair means will not avail thee, If! had such an individual on my committee as that man Daniel—if I had, a persou even in the capacity of a messenger—I would have kicked hint Quid the room."

Mr. Wakley hit Mr. Perceval on "the raw."

Mr. Perceval was a clerk—(" Oh, oh !'')—it was no use to mince the matter: it would be time to complain when he said what was not true. Mr. Percenl was a clerk in the Teller of the Exchequer's Office ; and who was the Tani the Exchequer? His brother, Spencer Perceval; yes with a salary of 2,7C01. a year. Mr. Perceval's family received front the public 5,3001. a year. Th's young gentleman himself had 600/. a year as compensation for the loss of Ili important office; but as he had ceased to be their clerk, he was anxious tots. come their representative. When they proposed in the House of Commonita inquire into the expenditure of the public money, he should like to see how Mr Perceval would look, if he should be in Parliament—where he never would be... when the clerk read at the table of the House that Lady Carr, his mother, bit 2,000/. a year ; that Spencer I'erceval had 2,7001. a year ; and that Dudley Montague himself had 600/. a year? He thought that Dudley Montague mull walk out ; and when chided for neglecting his duty, he would say it had bee very inconvenient for him to attend that night, and that he was unavoidabli absent. ( Cheers and laughter.)

All the efforts of the Tories, fair and unfair, did not help their eae didate into any thing more than a decent minority. The electors would not hear Mr. Perceval on the hustings on Monday, and rejected him on Tuesday, by a majority of 2425; the numbers being—for Duncornbe 4893, Wakley 4937, Perceval 2470.

GLAMORGANSHIRE. A Swansea correspondent is angry with its for I observing last week, that Mr. Guest has only a " doubtful prospect of success" in his contest with Lord Adair. This, be says, is " as untrue in fact, as it may be injurious in effect." With regard to its untruth, we shall be most happy to be convinced that there was no doubt of success, by the result of the election ; but at the same time, we must let our censor know, that we did not speak at random, but had private information which led us to make the remark; and, moreover, judging from the letter of our correspondent himself, we should conclude, the there is a doubt of Mr. Guest's success. For what does he say?— why, that Mr. Guest "is opposed by Tory gold and influence; has come into the field three weeks after his opponent ; that it will be a (lug fight, and needs considerable exertion: " and yet the writer of this charges us with stating what is " untrue in fact," because we said the Mr. Guest's chances of victory were "doubtful." As to the "in- jurious effect," we should certainly regret any injury our notice may have occasioned to Mr. Guest ; whom we take to be a sound Re- former, and whose conduct in offering 10001. (as our correspondect says he did) towards the expenses of any other Liberal candidate, is highly creditable to his public spirit and generosity. We heartily wish him success in the county ; and are glad that he has been reelected for Merthyr Tydvil,—though, had there been no doubt of his success in the county, another Liberal would probably have been chosen for that borough. In our election notices, our object is to state the truth as nearly as we can ascertain it, and not to blink it for any supposed temporary advantage. Our opinion is, that real Reform will gain

most by this course, in the end. The good cause cannot be advanced by any boasts of certain triumph before the battle. GLOUCESTER. Captain Berkeley, at the last election, refused to

coalesce with Phillpotts • and this time Phillpotts " cut " him. The result was the defeat of the gallant Captain, and the election of Hope and Phillpotts, a Tory and a Radical,—for Phillpotts must now be classed among the Radicals, having pledged himself to vote for the Ballot, Triennial Parliainents, a reduction of the duty on corn to or 10s. per quarter, and "justice to Ireland."

GLOUCESTERSHIRE. There is talk of a contest in both Division', although the Duke of Beaufort and Lord Segrave would like quietly to divide the representation. Mr. Joseph Peel, the rejected of Tewkesbury, will, it is said, try the Eastern, and Captain Berkeley the Western Division of the county. In this case, the enormous ex- penditure of Mr. Codrington and his friends, said to have been equal to 100,000/., will not secure that gentleman's seat in quietness.

Ilenwiew. As usual, the contest was very close. The successful candidates were Herries and Ellice, each polling 75 votes ; Tower had 74. The odd vote which gained the election cost a thousand pounds. Iltaerono, Had the friends of Mr. Clive and Mr. Bid lulpi actid s Tory, Mr. Birr, takes the place of Mr. Buldulph, one oft he most boot and independent of the late Whig Members. The numbers were—for Birr 432, Clive 417, Biddulph 378.

lloasuaii. In spite of unblushing bribery, the Reformer Hurst woe returned in opposition to one of the Piano-fifty Broadwoods, by 147to 145.

Hutt. In this borough the want of the Ballot was apparent. The Tories have rejected the excellent and enlightened Mr. Hutt, and also Mr. Benjamin Wood, in favour of a canting Mr. Wilberforce and Sir Walter James, who is represented as being a mere boy. The appa- vent numbers at the close of the poll were—Wilberforce, 1514, of James IV, Hutt 1497, Wood 1430. But there is a fair prospect of un- seating the candidates returned. The Hull Observer says- " The Reformers must not rest in calm submission to a mock defeat. The Tories petitioned without cause against Colonel Thompson; we have cause eamgh, and shall we not petition against them ? The very best spirit prevails among the Reformers,.and a subscription has already been commenced to defray the expetee d a scruntiy. Let every man who respects truth and honour, and abhors falsehood, treachery, and oppression, contribute to this patriotic fund. If there be a cordial effort on the part of the friends of the good cause, we shall ra net rid of the mock representatives of Hull. The bribery resorted to by the Tories at this election has, we believe, exceeded all their corruptive efforts state years. So profuse were they of their money, and so eager to attain their object, that they even bribed persons who were not electors. To this fact we au ourselves bear testimony ; having beenshown by a person residing in Queen gayer, who is not a voter, five sovereigns rolled up in a Use handkerchief, which were presented to him by a Tory yesterday to secure his assistance in the sanest. And to the influence of these villaniea the constituent body will le- loin exposed until we obtain the Ballot ; the concession of which it has pleated the Government to resist. Give us the Ballot, Lord Melbourne, and wither by force nor fiaud will any Tory ever assume the name of Representa- tive for WI"

In the course of Monday evening, upwards of 1,000/. was subscribed to defray the expenses of the threatened petition.

LEICESTER has done its duty nobly, and replaced two thoroughgoing Tories by two Radicals, Messrs. Easthope and Duckworth. We expected is gain tit Leicester ; but not so decided a victory as our friends hare accomplished. The Liberal candidates polled 1812 votes each ; Mr. Goulburne 1439, and Mr. Gladstone 1438. These numbers prove how well the opposing parties held together. We claim both the new Members for Leicester as Radicals, on the faith of their own repeated declarations in favour of the Ballot and household Suffrage.

LONDON. The contest in the City was most arduous and interesting. From the commencement to the close of the poll, and even to the offi- cial declaration of time numbers, it .vas uncertain whether Mr. Grote or Mr. Palmer would succeed. 'rho following numbers ore not exact, but they were published during the progress of the pulling, an i will serve to show how close and anxious was the contest.

The Sheriffs, on Tuesday, announced officially the return of the four Reformers ; who polled— Wood 6517 I Grote 5679 Crawford 6071 I Palmer 5873 Paolo!' 6070 Majority 6

Some of the means resorted to by the Tory party to gain for Mr. Palmer his high station on the poll, were mentioned by Mr. Grote, after the declaration of the numbers, in a speech which has nettled his oppo- bents exceedingly...-

"There is a very material difference—not in the absolute number of voters who lave done me the honour to poll for me this time, as compared with the num- kr who polled at the last election, for in that respect 1 believe the difference is extremely small—hut there is II material difference in the relative position of !pelf and of my honourable opponent, Mn. Palmer. By what means that th6renee has been produced—( Cries of "Bribery!")—! scarcely like to Overt to. ( Cheers arid groans.) But this I will say, that I had very each rather lose any election in England than owe an election to the means which have in this instance been employed on the other side. Our op. poseot's friends, in the effort to secUre his election, have resorted to bribery and corruption. (Cries of " .No ! no !" and " Prove it," put down by cheers.) 111 had to reproach myself that I owed my success ill any way to threats on Sagan of landlords to turn tenants out of houses if they did not vote in my leottr,—if I had to reproach myself with the recollection that I owed my eke tilt In any way to bribes given to water men and porters—I should say a thou • imd sad a thousand times over, that I would rather lose my election than owe it to !Iell means. I have always stood before you as a candidate upon the conjoint lasenee of my character and my political opinions. I never have, and I never 14 resort to any other means of influencing any man's vote. I never will !skean appeal to any man's hopes er feats. Let Mr. Pahnet's friends cotne !lied and say the tame. There is one topic in my political creed upon which !,hare always set p irticular value, and which I have done my best to work out— "Protection of the vote of every elector by means of the Ballot. If I wanted ed. _ii together, probably both would have been reelected. As it is, co l arguments infavour of the Ballot, the election just concluded would supply mg with them in abundance. (Cheers.) I will, however, advert no longer to the peculiar circumstances that have attended the present election, except to say, that there is another point upon which I do not in any way envy the feelings of my opponent—I mean the dishonest use which his friends havemade of the cry of the new Poor-law. There may be many persons who differ from mein opi- nion upon the subject of that set—there may be many persons who think It ought to be repealed ; but for the Tories, whose leading men supported the measure—for my opponent, who professes to be a friend of the Poor- law Amendment Act him- self—for him and them to endeavour to raise a prejudice against me on the score of my having advocated that bill, is, I must say, most strange and most unfair.. I shall go into the Rouse of Commons as your Representative, now for the third time, with unaltered sentiments, and with a still more vigorous determination, if it he possible by any energies of mine, to repress and put down the Tory party, who have now added to the long catalogue of their political enormities the present dishonest proceeding of taking hold of the cry of the new Poor-law to prejudice the cause of the Reformers. I shall endeavour hereafter to serve you as faithfully in Parliament as I have done up to this moment. If am to de- rive any instruction from the election which is just concluded, it will only be to make me a more ardent champion even than I have hitherto been for measures tending to procure purity and freedom of election. I trust that, by the deci- sion of this great constituency, and by a similar decision on the part of the prin- cipal constituencies throughout the kingdom, we may be enabled in the ensuing Parliament still to prosecute and press forward the work of Reform, notwithstanding the fraud and force employed by our opponents."

The Tories threaten a scrutiny : they had better be quiet, for their own sakes. Mr. Grote alluded to the bribery of the Watermen it is said that one individual, a Magistrate of the City, brought up 703 of those men to the hustings, and paid them from two to five guineas each to vote against Mr. Grote. Intimidation, corruption, fraud, and lies, were the engines employed to eject Mr. Grote. And it is little to the credit of some of the London bankers, that, stung by envy of the talents, influence, and exalted position of Mr. Grote, they generally caused it to be understood that his defeat would be highly agreeable to them. Of course we do not include among those mean-souled money- changers such men as Mr. Jones Loyd and Mr. Lubbock, themselves accomplished gentlemen as well as bankers ; but we should be at no loss to name several who hate and would fain injure the foremost man among them, merely because he is immeasurably their superior. Most heartily do we rejoice in the discomfiture of the envious, low-bred clique. We have also heard that Mr. Palmer gained a little popularity from the reputation of being one of the party in the Bank Parlour in favour of giving accommodation to the embarrassed merchants in the City; whereas Mr. Grote was known to be an advocate of the more manly policy of meeting existing difficulties in the face, and against a mere postponement of the evil day. The Tories boast that they have funds in abundance for their threat- ened scrutiny : neither will money be wanting on the other side. The lawyers will reap a tine harvest ; but we expect Mr. Grote to remain Member for London, and are not a bit frightened even by such stories as the following, v' l iii our amusing contemporary the Standard has got up by way of intimating the nature of the Tor,. c.tse.

" We could name one Metropolitan botough iii al Ii a bredc was actually kept, by one of the R olioal candidates, regisa ring the names of persons .rm ho it

was knriwri would uut vote, or who it was ast.ernaaill were out r f town, in order to poll these electors by pr rsonation ; and r ersorntioa Was pi anti Til to an ex- tent utterly incredible. We ni ty tisk, in p how would the Ballot cure

this—a frond presecutrd to an extent and avid' a facieity of which we bad no

conception until we saw it ? The pravtise was, in one of the Northern districts dale Mettapolis (the same in which the book alluded to was kept), first dis- covered by mete accident. Sonic gentlemen who had been at Broadstairs or Ramsgate, and were not expected by their servants to return before the end of a week, hum tied to town, for the purpose of supporting the Conservative can- didate. They arrived at the polling. booth very shortly before the termination of the election, tentleted their votes, and were refused, on the ground that they bad polled before. The books of the check-clerks agreed with those of the re- turning officer; so that no blame could rest upon the latter, who was merely the dupe of the same fraud that imposed upon the agent of the Conservative candidate. The number of persons who had died, and whose votes were, never- theless, recorded, was also very considerable; and the number of persons voting, after they had forfeited their qualification, by removal, immensely added to the mass of fraudulent votes."

LICHFIELD. The dismissal of Lord Stanley's friend, Sir Edward Scott, is a good lesson to the Dilly gentlemen. He dared not show fight, but gave way without a struggle to the Whig Lord Alfred Paget, LIVERPOOL. Contrary to the expectation of many, but in accord- ance with our own unwilling apprehensions, the Reformers have suf- fered a defeat in Liverpool. Without the Ballot, or an enormous ex- penditure on the side of the Liberals, the Liverpool Tories will always win the day. There are thousands of excellent Reformers in Liver- pool, but, unhappily, a multitude also of profligate wretches, ever eager to be bribed ; and there are, of course, in so large a place, many workmen and shopkeepers who dare not vote against their employers. The Tory triumph on this occasion was decided : Lord Sandon polled 4806 votes, Mr. Cresswell 4676, Mr. Ewart 4304, and Mr. Elphin- stone 4253. According to the Liver4,001 Telegraph, the riotous belie- % lour of some Irishmen injured Mr. Lwait materially; but we scarcely credit, if indeed we rightly understand the intimation, that the Tories bribed the mob to prevent their own voters from polling, by way of raising an indignant feeling among the friends of freedom of eleetios, which feeling led them to vote for Tories in revenge ! The clergy disgraced themselves in the pulpit and out of it, by calumnies on the Reform candidates; and Mr. Cresswell was seconded, and canvassed for, by a renegade member of the Reform Club in London ; whose expulsion from that Club will probably take place forthwith.

MAIDSTONE. The nomination was on Wednesday; the candidates being Mr. Wyndham Lewis, Mr. Disraeli the Youriger, and Colonel Thompson. Mr. Disraeli tried to be facetious at the expense of his opponent the Colonel— They had heard of an adventurous individual ascending in a parachute attached to the great balloon. This reminded him of Colonel Thompson. Mr. Lewis and imnself were the great balloon, and Colonel Thompson had attached himself to them ; aod he wished him a safe descent. ( ('heers, laughter, and hisses.) There was a story they had probably heard respecting an honest tar who filled his gun with clay, and then discharged it. It nearly blew off his own head. When Jack went to consult a medical adviser, he asked him how he came to do 110 ? To which the tar replied, " Oh, I wanted a shy." Now this reminded him of Colonel 'f !mum] ; who had his gun loaded with clay, but when it went off he could not say where the gallant candidate's head would be. (Laughter and uproar.) The Ministers came in for their share of wit— The imbecile Government had been goaded on by the Radicals, but fortu- nately the House of Lords had stood in the breach, and protected 'the liberties of the People. The Ministry reminded him of an anecdote of a lustie plunderer, who got through a hedge, and when detected by the fartner, and asked where he was going to? he replied that he was going " bock again." The Whigs had on several occasions been detected by the Duke of Wellington and the Conserva- tives; and when they were asked where they were going to' they always re- plied, " Why, we are going bock again." (Cheers, and reatdisapprobation.) He n'art sorry the other party would not listen to him. I ormerly we men were willing to bear a comical epilogue or anecdote; but now it appeared the only thing that would aatisfy them was a long prosy article in the Westminster Review, from the pen of the gallant Colonel. He expected the majority he should obtain on the poll would be larger than all the votes recorded for his

Opponent.

Colonel Thompson said, that if returned, he would support no Go- vernment which maintained stationary evils— No, though he was on old man, there was enough left of him to go through every duty that might be imposed on him. When a general Was selected to command an army, it was not done because his principles (Meted from them, but because he was with them, and he would go forward against the enemy instead of marching backwards. Vila should guide them in the choice of their candidates, who ought to support a Goverunient that would march forward with the increased intellect of the people. In reference to the Ballot— he had been in the Army upwards of thirty years, and had several times eat upon courts- martial, but had never voted without secrecy ; and why ? because, having a public trust to execute, the ballut was adopted that he might do it with con- scientious safety and secrecy. Why, theu, should there not he the same law for the poor man as for the cfficer? It the ballot was good in one instance it Was in the other. Another point that caused public fervour, was the shortening the duration of Parliaments. For his own part, he should be happy to meet his constituents, should he be returned to Parliament, once a year; and he would do so voluntarily. But many of his party were in favour of Triennial Pail's- ments ; and he hoped the people would obtain them next session. He sidd he had no dread of pledges, as some of his friends had ; but nevertheless they should elect a man in whose judgment they had confi,lence. He had always beeu an advocate for the repeal of the Corn laws; and the same principles that he had avowed in the North he would avow in the South.

The show of hands was in favour of Lewis and Thompson. Next day, however, it was discovered that the golden arguments, applied over-night, had worked a conversion, which gave the Tories a majority at the polling. Colonel Thompson, with all his bravery, was de- feated; and at length Disraeli the You uger, the rejected of places without number, is the chosen of Aluidatone, and franks his own letters to Lord Lyndhurst and Lady Sykes.

The numbers polled for each candidate were—Lewis 782, Disraeli 688, Thompson 529. " These figures," a correspondent says, " prove the strength of Liberal principles in a borough which has certainly previously bad a very bad name. Fire hundred and twenty nine unbought voters on the side of Reform, besides a number of others who refused to vote against the Liberal candidate, are evidence of the progress which, in despite of time faults of the Government. the cause of Reform is making in the least su-pected quarters. Alaidstotie must be kept in sight. It is clear that, at rill events, the Tories van be harassed and forced to act at disadvantage, lit no greater pecuniary cost than that of a few cards and handbills ; and sortie time or oiler, this system must end in their defeat.

MAiteLeuuse. Mr. Benjamin Hall, who was abused as a Alarplot by the Whig papers, for not giving way to Mr. G. A. Young, has been returned at the bead of the poll, with Sir Samuel Whalley for his colleague. Lord Tt ignmouth, Hall, Whalley, Young, and Horne, all went to the poll ; but by twelve o'clock it was evident that the battle lay between the first three ; and the Reformers, wisely coalescing to keep out the Tories, returned the two Radicals, Hall and Whalley. We have always observed, that when it conies to the push the Maryle- bone Liberals know well enough how to play their game. The final numbers were—Hall 3488, Whalley 3302, 'feigninouth 2914. The Tories say that they helped Hall ; and are very indignant that his friends did not aid them in bringing in the Tory Lord according, as they pretend, to an express understanding with Hall's committee.

Noawica. This city has long been renowned for the profligacy of its voters ; and its chat acter for corruption was well maintained at the last election. A correspondent, who was present in Norwich during the polling on Tuesday, has sent us the following brief horary of the proceedings.

" Two o'clock.—It is now wholly uncertain which way the election will ter- minate. For six weeks, the Margate of Douro and Mr. Robert Scarlett have been canvassing amidst the moat degrading seeues of bribery awl infamy. On Friday the 14th, the Reform party brought two men to oppose them ; and since that time, the most infatnou, proceedings have been openly perpetrated. Hun- dreds have received cairns varying from 20/. to30/, a mart; and within the last half- hour persons of either party are provided with 50/. for every elector who can be got form the other party. I have no doubt 100/. will be paid before four o'clock. What worthy sons of a great hero acid a pure-minded judge of the land! and, on the other hand, w hat lovers and derendera of purity of election, and the principles of rational reforms, the leading Whigs are showing themselves to be by this conduct ! Half-past three o'clock.—Fifty pounds given for a vote. A debtor having three retainers against him has been released from prison. They now know not where to go for voters. I run assured there are not more than four differ. ence, and that is on the side of the Liberals. At two o'clock the numbers were printed-

" Smith 1750 Nurse 1747 Douro 1737 Scariest 1741"

et Five o'clock.—During the last half. hour of the poll, 1 have the best reason to believe that ten men were paid 1,0001.-1001. each. The numbers as they are estimated, without being declared, are—Scarlett 1859, Douro 1856, Smith 1856, Nurse 1844. These are the Whig numbers. The Tories claim a ma- jority. Many persons culling themselves Dissenters have, to their dishonour, been engaged in these transactions; and, to make their conduct as black as possible, they have dune their dirty work for the Tories."

Fully concurring in our correspondent's indignation and disgust at the conduct of the base constituency of Norwich, we must say that we feel no regret for the defeat of' the Whigs in this instance ; for they rate do not pretend to much electioneering virtue.

NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. The Morning Herald says that the Dube d Portland will oppose the reelection of' Mr. Evelyn Denison in Semi Nottinghamshire. In that case, we suspect Colonel Holleston rass-t succeed.

PONTEFRACT. Sir Culling Smith would not give head-money; ; he bad no chance. The representation of this place is not altered '° regards the politics of the Members ; Mr. Milnes, a Tory, succeedi: Lord Pollington, arid Mr. Massey Stanley, a Liberal, taking atr: Gully's place.

PORTSIAOUTH. Carter and Baring have been reelected, by aid 0. the Government influence, strenuously exerted. The Tories ltsse made out one clear case of Court and Admiralty interference—pm bablya specimen only. Mr. Saunders, a master in the Navy, signed the requisition to Sir George Cockburn ; and, as soon as this was know; in erder to prevent Sir George from benefiting by his vote, he wit ordered to be in readiness to go as master on board a sloop of wu This order was made on the application of one of the Whig elee. tioneering agents at Portsmouth. A letter from Sir John Conroy to Saunders, asking his vote, was then procured ; but all would not do,

At least, S, ders himself has published an account of the means eta ployed to get him over to the Whigs ; from which we infer that he set his superiors at defiance, and voted for Cockburn.

PRESTON. A Tory, Mr. Parker, has succeeded to that odd epees men of aristocratic refinement, Mr. Stanley. To gain his victory, sir. Parker was compelled to "come down : " his party would have bade) chance against Mr. Crawford, who had nearly 2000 pledges, without bribery. About 400 of the poorer sort were brought over witk " gills of spirits, quarts of beer, half-crowns, and pounds." The voters were carried to the poll quite drunk, in cars, to vote for Fleetwood aod Parker. The streets were paraded by gangs of bludgeon-men, hired by the Tories ; and these ruffians, all the while, pretended to be Rs. (heal Reformers. Still, Mr. Crawfurd would probably have succeeded, if the Whigs had played fair ; but they supported Mr. Hesketh Fleeb wood, who is more of a Tory than any thing else. A correspondest writes- " The Ministry is at the bottom of the mischief at Preston, and througlea the country ; and, I suspect, they are by this time aware of it. Lord Job Russell's address to Stroud, the non-removal of Lord Hill, and above all, Lai Durham's letter, have done wonders in the way of mischief."

That depends on the way you read " mischief :" to "organic Re- form" a heavy blow and great discouragement have been dealt, but Con. servatisin and the Juste-milieu have benefited.

SALFORD. The struggle here was tremendous, and the result as yet doubtful. The closing numbers are said to have been—for Brotherse 890, Garnett 888: but Brotherton's majority censisted of his our vote for himself and that of the returning officer also in his favour, The official declaration of the poll has not been received. It will her misfortune both to the country and the House of Commons if a honest and useful a Member as Mr. Brotherton should be lost to them. There was some rioting and violence, but no serious dam* to property or persons ; thanks to the interference of the military, who were called into the town.

ScAireonoecit. The trimming-Sir John Johnstone has been forced to make way for a decided Reformer, Sir Charles Style, son-in-law of that hearty old Liberal Sir George Cayley. The contest was a very dole one, and gained in defiance of local influence and personal popularity The numbers were—for Sir Frederick Trench (whose party is well organized and very active) 225, Style 211, Johnstone 192.

SHREWSBURY. We predicted a Liberal gain here : it has occurred, Mr. Sluney, a useful man, succeeds that poor creature Sir John Hat. mer. Mr. Jenkins, a Tory of more than average talent, supplies the place of the comical Cressett Pelham.

SOUTHW ARK. That silly person Mr. Richards actually went to the poll on Monday; and we have been told that be threw away a considet- able sum of money for the satisfaction of being hooted and beaters Mr. Barclay the brewer, who nominated him, could scarcely keep.ba countenance while recommending his candidate. But Richards is Im- pervious to ridicule. He is like Pope's playwright- " Pit, boxes, gallery, in convulsion hurled, Ile sits unmoved amidst a bursting world."

The close of the poll left Mr. Richards with 840 votes against Bum- phrey's 1929 and Harvey's 1903. The Tories chuckle at the result, which is as favourable as they expected : they have " bled " Richard., whom they despise, and Harvey, whom they hate.

STROUD. The opposition to Lord John Russell and Mr. Poulet Scrope was very feeble. The Toties could get nobody to fight their battle better than Sergeant Adams ; of whose merits the result of the polling furnishes a fair enough criterion. He had 297 votes against Mr. Scrope's 698 and Lord John Russell's 681. There was nothing remarkable in the speech of the Home Secretary from the hustings. Being questioned as to the Ballot, Lord John replied, that though he should have been willing to have introduced the Ballot into the. first Reform Bill, he would not consent to it now, until be was satisfied that no other mode of preventing bribery and intimidation could be found.

TAMWORTH. As might have been expected, the Peel influence hot returned two Tories for this place ; but Captain Townsbend fought the battle like a man, and had 185 votes to Captain A'Court's 249. The Tory Captain was pelted and hooted during the chairing. Captain Town- sbend declared positively that he had lost his election through foul pros tices, arid that Sir Robert Peel bad violated his promise not to interfer, with the choice of a second Member for Tamworth. Sir Robert Pee was very anxious to disclaim the imputed interference ; and protestecha dozen times at the fewest, in the couse of a speech which had scarcely any thing else in it, that be had never threatened an elector, and never would injure one on account of his vote. One of his tomtits... " Peter Birch "—was fortunately present to confirm the Baronet's at' peal made by name to himself. TEWKESBURY. The cautious Mr. reel would not risk his money on an uncertainty ; and he tried to make a bargain with his committee, sin with prafessions of purity on their lips, while the Tories at

St

to rurn him the cost of the contest in the event of defeat. They would not come into his terms, so he left them in the lurch ; and Tewkesbury elected one man to say " ay" and another to say " no" on the same question. Town HAMM. On Monday, a not very numerous body of the voters assembled at Stepney Green, to reelect Dr. Lushington and Mr. Clay. The ceremony having been duly performed, (no Tory thinking it worth while to show his face on the occasion,) the two Mem- bers addressed the meeting. We quote a few sentences from Dr. Lushington's speech— It was right that a candidate who was their late Member, in soliciting their votes, should begin by rendering an account of his conduct in Parliament, and stating how far he had adhered to the first principles which he professed when he originally asked their suffrages. He had stated then, that he thought Patlia- ments ought to be more frequent—he thought there ought to be Triennial Par- lisments ; and he had voted for Triennial Parliaments. He had stated also that there should be independent freedom of election. He did not apply the remark to great and extensive boroughs like the Tower Homier% where bribery and intimidation could do little or nothing, but to minor constituencies, where bribery and intimidation could attempt and do much ; and had asserted that the only protection for the free and independent exercise of the franchise was the Ballot. In accordance with that sentiment be had all along voted and spoken twice for the Ballot. (Loud cheering.) And though they had been defeated, they had been defeated only by numbers, and not by the weight or cogency of the argument. He would add, that the numbers in favour of the Ballot were yearly increasing; and that it was his firm conviction that the voters through- out the country, after the experience they had received by the result of the last Westminster election, would conic to the conclusion that in order that they might vote according to their own consciences and in obedience to their own ludgment, they must have that protection, and not sacrifice their worldly antereats as they had hitherto been compelled to do.

The Doctor talked valiantly about the King of Hanover, and an alteration in the succession to the Throne— /4s man felt more deeply than he did the necessity of adhering to the legiti. mate line of succession to the crown, in all ordinary cases, without any very strict regard to the particular character of him who was to succeed ; but there might be a combination of circumstances which might mark out with an accu- racy which no one could fail to perceive, and show the great possibility, not to say certainty, of the commences should a certain member of the Royal Family once ascend the throne. The subject to which he alluded was, whether the King of Hanover should be excluded from the succession to the throne. ( Great cheering and groans.) He said nothing of his private character, be spoke of his public acts ; he said nothing about his being a Tory or a Conservative ; that individual had the right, as they all had, to choose his party ; but this they all knew, that he was the bitterest enemy of all reform—( Tremendous cheering) --he was the determined supporter of all abuses--( Continued cheering)—and he must say, that in the part which he took in the transactions of the Orange Lodges, he outstripped the limits of the British constitution, and gave the people just ground to fear that he or his associates had formed a plan for altering the succession and setting aside the present Queen. And further, if any doubt existed how little he regarded the wishes of his people, or the former compact with the other Sovereigns of Europe, that doubt must be removed by his first edict, which as a sample could not fail to awake the constitutional jealousy of the whole people of England. ( Tremendous cheering.) There could be little doubt, therefore, that it was the duty of the succeeding Parliament to take up the subject, and decide what was best and safest for the good of the country. His doctrine was, that the line of succession as well as the constitution itself was framed for the good of the people; and if the existing law ceased to be ope- rative in that iespect, then it came for the consideration of Parliament what was to be done.

Tterwrosr. The nomination was on Tuesday. Mr. Heatlicoat spoke like a man who took little interest in politics, but much in the welfare of Tiverton. He dwelt solely upon subjects of a local nature. Lord Palmerston entered into along defence of his political consistency! and a badly-reasoned argument against the Ballot, to which, at present, by Melbourne's command, he is as hostile as Mr. Spring Rice and Lord John Russell. Lord Palmerston, however, in common with most of the Whig opponents of the secret vote, admitted that the honest elector was overawed- " My belief is founded not merely on what I have beard from others, but my own observations. My belief is that a system has been extensively pursued to deter the electors, by fear of injury to themselves and their families, from doing that which we heard read this morning, to elect freely and indifferently the i

persons whom they may think fit to represent them n Parliament. .Now, gentlemen, this is not a solitary case ; it is the regular Tory practice; and you will hear, when you see the proceedings of the different elections, that the same thing has been practised wherever a Tory candidate has opposed men of Liberal and Reforming principles. (I Give the Ballot then! ') We are told by some that the remedy for this is the secret suffrage by ballot. Now, I will say this that if there is any set of men who are doing more than others to bring the Ballot about, that set of men are the Tories, who are using those practices throughout the country. I am not one of those who think that the Ballot would accomplish the purpose which many of you expect it would fulfil. lam inclined to think that the same intimidation and coercion would still be Practised to obtain the promises which are now used to obtain the vote ; and when a tnan has given his promise for a particular candidate, it would be im- possible for him, however secretly the vote was given, as an honest man, not to vote according to it. If the practice had been general for every man to record his vote in secret, how should we have those expressions of feeling which are so intimately interwoven with the practice of the constitution, and which, in my opinion, produce such great, important, and salutary results to the country? And if, gentlemen, vote by ballot were to be the resource for those who wish to withdraw themselves from the pressure of compulsion, those few would still remain a small and suspected minority, liable to the suspicions of both the pieties who are anxious to inlist them in their ranks. There is one remedy immediately in your power, and that is public opinion ; for those men who do not scruple to go into the private room of the honest tradesman or the indus- trious farmer, for the purpose of compelling him to violate his conscience, and to betray the trust reposed in him by the constitution—those men would shrink from the disgrace and exposure; and if any of you who know cases of this lied would only publish them in the newspapers of the country, you would be quite sure that these practices would be kept in check, and would cease to in. tufere with the free exercise of the constitutional rights of the people."

Silly Lord Palmerston ! would not the same power which compels the elector to vote against his conscience or inclination, prevent him from irritating his oppressor by the publication you recommend? The Tories had little expectation of gaining the election; as ap- Pesred from a rather smart speech of Captain Hodges, who seconded the nomination of Mr. Dickenson, the Tory candidate. The Captain admitted,

That in this contest, which was one of principle, their immediate opponent OM the noble lord, and not his late colleague. The noble lord's recommenda- tion was that he was a Minister of the Crown. The noble lord had been so, with the exception of a very short interval, for the last twenty-eight years, during which period, his connexion with various Cabinets of different polities had shown the versatility of his talents, by which he had been enabled to adapt his views (no doubt conscientiously) to those of each of them—witness his Lordship's connexion with the University of Cambridge from 1806 ; and in 183.5, when the Whigs boasted of their abolition of rotten boroughe..the noble lord became the purchaser of Tiverton. ( Cheers and groans.) Witness him again in 1818, the chairman of Sir Murray Maxwell's committee at the West- minster election ; and witness him in 1837, though a Minister of the Clown, giving his vote at an election for the same place for Mr. Leader, a declared Revolutionist. (Renewed cheers and hisses.) These were inconsistencies which did not entitle the noble lord to the confidence of the electors of Tiverton. The other side might by fair means or foul gain the advantage once or twice; but he was satisfied, such was the balance of opinion in this borough, that eventually the Conservatives must triumph.

WESTMINSTER. The actual strength of the Tories was tested by this election. They had one of their own crack men in the field, but one who could not claim any but Tory votes; the twaddling Reformers had no excuse for supporting him ; so he was completely beaten by the Radicals and Wings. The state of the poll %as officially declared on Thursday—Leader 3715. Evans 3793, Murray 262O; majority, 1095. The contest afforded nothing worth especial notice. Lord Frederick Fitzclurence gave Evans a plumper, not because he was the best. of the three candidates, but because the Tories had vilified him—an ex- cellent reason, doubtless.

1Vo0nsT0cit. This insignificant little borough has attracted a good deal of notice in consequence of the Whig maineuvering to purchase it from the Duke of Marlborough. Lord John Churchill, in a letter to the newspapers, has solemnly denied that he had held any commu- nication with a Minister on the subject of his letters, published last week, to the Duke and " Blandford." Nobody suspected that any Minister would have been such a ninny as to commit himself per- sonally with " John ; " but nevertheless some kind friend to both par- ties might have suggested the job. The Morning Chronicle insinuated that Mr. Timothy Curtis, the Governor of the tank, bad suppressed part of the correspondence, and had acted without Lord Blandford's authority : but Lord Blandford, scorning to allow Mr. Tim. to bear any blame in the matter, wrote to the Morning Chronicle, as follows— Ibis bury Park. July 25. "Sir—My attention has been drawn to some severe and utuleserved s rictures your paper of SatunIty and Monday upon the (mound of Mr. T. Curtis, as connected with the publication of the ' Bloodroot Correspondence.' "It is tine to that gentleman distinctly to state, that in forwarding to the editor ot the Tone,, without comment and without mutilation, the documents iii tpiestiom lie hiss not in any shape exceeded my instructions. " A grossly false, wantonly iajtitiOlIK statement, had appeared in a Ministerial print respecling myself ; anti the only means at my command of relating tlw calumny pre- sented themselves in the iodine:Ilion of it co: respondence, by whielt the public might coins.; ly learn in what gimlet the proposition I. was accused or having in,...self made originated; and how it ci recommended, enforced, and stipulated Mr. To that pub- lic I wholly anti confidently lease the decision mum its merits. and upon the disclaimer now attempted ; but I cannot conclude without thanking you, Sit, for the obli4atiou you confer upon me by bringing under public notice the met, that ton wit listionlitu Sir ilobeit to comply w ith wishes on a former mein haie not be- lied the pi inciples by which I am guided, by a petulant rush into those of an opposite character. "1 aim tt4r, your obetlieut sena:It,

•• Itt.swilurono."

The upshot of the intrigue is this—Mr. Peyton, Lord Blanclford's Tory candidate for Woodstock, has defeated Lord Charles Churchill, the Duke of Marlborough's son, and Vhiig candidate for 1Voodstoele, by it majority of 126 to 117. The nomination was on Monday ; when Lord Charles Churchill was discreet enough to deliver the following speech-

" Gentlemen, you have heard, and probably read, much of a correspondence between my father and brothers respecting this borough. I declare on my honour as a gentleman, that I knew nothing whatever of it until I saw it in the newspapers. Neither of my brothers condescended to notice me in the bargain attempted to be driven ; in short, I do not believe any member of my family cares one damn for me; and 1 can assure you, gentlemen, 1 do not care one damn for any of thein. I am not ambitious of being again in the House; I am a quiet domestic man, fond of retirement. Had Lord Blandford expressed a wish to be returned himself, 1 would have given way in a moment ; but I'll be damned if I'll be kicked out by an intruder." (Laughter, hisses, and cheers.)

These Churcbills are enough of themselves to bring down the credit of hereditary honours and pensions, were the original grantee ever so meritorious.

WORCESTER. The nomination for Worcester was on Saturday; when Mr. George Robinson, in a long speech from the hustings, apolo- gized, as well as he could, for his shuffling conduct in Parliament; ad- mitted that he had lost ground in Worcester, having made a very on. successful canvass ; and declared his determination not to go to the poll. Three weeks ago, we mentioned that Mr. Robinson's position in Worcester had been altered for the worse by the death of a powerful friend, Mr. Scott, and by his own uncertain course in Parliament. At the last election be refused to coalesce with Colonel Davies : this time be would gladly have joined his former colleague, but Davies de- clined ; and Robinson, who bad no independent ground to stand upon, was forced to quit. His loss is not to be regretted. With considerable means of making himself useful, he was a mischievous man. Colonel Davies is his successor; and though the Colonel's conduct in the House of Commons was frequently little better than that of Mr. Robinson, we hope he may have profited by his three years' retirement and by the warning of Robinson's example. Mr. Bailey, the Tory, was safe from the first.

WORCESTERSHIRE. A reluctant promise to support the Ballot has been obtained from Mr. J. H. Foley, who with Mr. Holland is a can- didate for the Eastern Division of this county. We trust that the Independent Reformers will bind this gentleman by a solemn pledge on the hustings to give his vote for the Ballot, the first time it la brought forward in Parliament.

SCOTLAND.

EDINBURGH. The Waterloo Room was crowded on Monday, by electors, who went thither to meet their late Representatives, Mr.. Abercromby and Sir John Campbell. After a few prefatory obser. vations from 'Lillie Donaldson, the chairman, Mr. Abercromby ad- dressed the meeting. He observed that, from the situation he had occu- pied u Speaker, be had no votes to explain or defend-

" I have only to state, and simply to lay before you the circumstances under which I was placed in that situation, from which, by the dissolution of Par ment, I have been released, and am again enabled to appear before you. You will all remember, that previous to the last dissolution of Parliament, Lord Melbourne's first Admimstration had been dismissed by the exercise of the pre- rogative. There existed, as far as I know at that time, no great question on which•difference of opinion prevailed between the Sovereign and his Ministers. It occurred when Parliament was not sitting, and when there was no reason to justify the expectation that that Ministry had lost the confidence of the then House of Commons. This act of prerogative was strictly within the rules of the constitution ; but at the same time it was felt to be a strong exercise of pre- rogative. It inevitably happens in the course of human affairs, that when • strong step is made in one direction, it generally leads to a step of correspond- ing strength being taken in the other. So it happened in this case ; when the House of Commons and the Liberal party felt, that by that exercise of the prero-

gative, they were called on and expected to transfer their confidence and support from one party to another party, and that a party directly opposed to those whom they had hitherto supported—they felt that a call was made upon them to which they were not likely to respond. The Liberal party, therefore, enter- tained a strong opinion that their jinterests in arid their duty to the country required them at the ealliest moment to make their stand and assert their own independence. The first occasion for Making that stand, and asserting that independence, was in the choice of • Speaker on the meeting of the new Parliament."

He challenged scrutiny into the manner in which be had fulfilled the arduous duties of the Speakership. He defended the Reform Bill from the attacks of certain ardent Reformers- " There are some eager and anxious persons who say what has the Reform Bill done—it has done nothing for us. Some in this room probably think it e have all yet to hope for—all to desire, and nothing is accomplished. Now, let

me ask one question, if any body had stated this proposition, via, that after the Reform Bill it would be impossible for the Crown to maintain in office any

_Administration who have not the support of the country ; and if the event

has proved, that this proposition true, is it not a great benefit secured for the people ? That which most materially, concerns the interests of the country

depends on this, whether those intrusted with the conduct of public affairs do or do not cordially sympathize with the people in their wishes and desires. Now, has this been proved by the history the Parliament that has closed."

iThere was less novelty in this principle than Mr. Abercromby imagines. Long before the Reform Bill, George the Third proved it, conversely, when, having "the support of the country," he main- tained Pitt in office, not with a small majority of the House of Com- mons in his favour, but with a large majority against him.]

The government of' Ireland without coercion, and several measures of the Reformed Parliament, were dilated on by Mr. Abercromby. He then passed on to the ticklish subject of the Church; observing that religious disputes and differences were the bitterest of all the sources of social animosity_

" My opinion is, and has been, that the Established Church itt England and Scotland is supported by a large majority of the people of the kingdom. (Load cheering, acco.upanied with a good deal ofdisapprobation, nail renewed cheer-

ing.) Gentletm ii, take a hint is IMI what is now pa,sitig. I have not expressed an opinion ; I stated one circuti.stance which in my conscieliceI believe to be a

fact. I stated it, I hope, with all the calinneQs, with 411 the trill CF, which such a subject demands ; and what is the tc-slit? You have seen it—it has produced more excitement than any one expression or one thing I have said since I had the honour of addressing you. Well, I repeat, that, in my judg- ment the Established Chnrches of England and Scotland have a majority of the people on their aisle. ( Renewed cheering, and disappoba lion ) I believe that majority to be composed of poisons who support the Church Establishment from habit, from education, and from conviction. I believe also there is a very large minority of persons who dissent from the Established Churches of both England and Scotland ; and I believe that minority to be actuated by feelings as sincere, as benevolent, and WI honest as can actuate any inen whatever. Now, having stated that which I believe to be a fact, I have nuly DOW to repeat what I have often said—what I said when I was last here—what I said in other places and which I still think—that, under the circumstances in which this country is placed, the state of things being what I describe, and using the words in which I last addressed you, I say it is the duty of the Government to give their honest and sincere support to the Church as by law established. (Loud cheering and disapprobation.) If any of you have changed your opinion, I have not changed mine. I have quoted the very words of my last address. But hay at the same time, it is equally the duty of the Government and of the Legislature, to use all the means in thew power to give ease and satiefaction to those who sincerely and honestly dissent from the Established Church ; and to use their best endeavours that in all the transactions of life, as regards temporal interests of all classes of the community, there shrill be, as between Churchmen and Dissenters, perfect equality. Gentlemen, these are my opinions; I never have shrunk from them Ilcnow I have been misrepresented ; but I disregard that misrepresentation, because I can go back for years and show you recorded opinions preadsely and to the letter in unison with than I now express. Gentlemen, much has been said with regard to the Church being in danger. In my apprehension, there is but one cause of danger to the Church—what the course of time may produce, it is not for me to predict, but seeing the present state of things, I say there is one cause, and one cause only from which any danger need be apprehended to the Church : if the Church shall identify itself with the partisan politics of any party in this community, in my opinion it puts to peril a great deal in the result of a very doubtful issue."

The subject of Church.extension, Mr. Abercromby seems to have shirked. He strongly recommended the electors to be contented with the Reform Act, (though he admitted that it could not, strictly speak. ing, be called a final measure,) before they called for more organic changes.

Sir John Campbell paid some compliments to Mr. Abercromby ; and then went on to refer to the measures passed in the last session ; whirl), he said, were indeed so few, that the Speaker must have been puzzled to find materials for his address to the Queen at the end of the session. With respect to the House of Lords, Sir John Camp- bell expressed his belief that it would yield, as heretofore, to the pres- sure of public opinion. He congratulated the assembly on the pros- pect of a long and happy reign, and then referred to a paper which had been put into his hands by the non.clectors- " A paper has just been put into my hand, intimating that a meeting of the non-electors has been called, because the candidates have refused to answer questions respecting the Ballot, Short Parliaments, &c. &c. ( Great laughter.) I have a great respect for the non-electors—I believe them to be respectable and most intelligent men ; and I should have great pleasure to see them enjoy the franchise, if it could safely be intrusted to the classes of which they con-

gist ; but I most think this paper contains false information, for no q have been asked, no questious have I ever refused to answer, nor willea; The inhabitants of the city, electors or non-electors, have a full right to Ica; all my sentiments ; and if any one has • question to put, here I am, renlyte state my sentiments on any subject whatever. I have only to say, I do not shrink from any question, not even from the most delicate of the question of religion. On that I have to say now what I said when I sr; addressed you that I arn the son of a clergyman of the Church of Seethed._ that I have been reared in that faith—that I have ever been warmly etude; to that Church, and shall ever support it. ( Cheers and A• .) With retort to the Church of' England, I believe that it has the support and good-win ef, great majority of the English people. I believe it ought to be supported; I believe that it is an efficient instrument for conveying religious instructin and consolation to the people. But I repeat what I have often said—whet Ihm ever thought, and upon which' shall continue to act, that the Dissenters, vs,. thee in England or Scotland, ought to incur no disabilities; that they ought!, have cast on them no burden ; that they ought to have equal civil rights; th,, there should be no distinction, as far as civil rights are concerned, bettree, Dissenters and Churchmen ; that each should worship God according to 14, own conscience; that they should mutually respect and love each other; that religious peace and harmony should prevail throughout the land. to are my sentiments; by these I am ready to be judged.'

Mr. Thomas Maitland proposed a vote of approbation to the two candidates ; but before the motion was agreed to, several questite, were put to Mr. Abercromby and Sir John Campbell. In reply, they expressed themselves hostile to the Ballot, Household Suffrage, to expulsion of the Bishops from the House of Peers, a repeal of tO Corn-laws, and the abolition of military flogging. Both wished Pada, ments to be shortened, and the Pension-list to be revised. Neitlat would promise to vote for, or against, additional Church endowing Mr. Meitland's motion was carried by acclamation.

GLASGOW. Lord William Bentinck arrived on the 22d; and pob, lished an address to the constituency of Glasgow, which entitles us o claim him, more than ever, as a confirmed Radical on all leading qua tions but one, which it is clear Lord William at present on i

ly mps fectly understands. The following is the address-

" Having learned on tny arrival to day, that the public meeting in the flue on Thursday last, had, with gratifying unanimity, resolved to request mei* to offer myself as a candidate for the honour of being one of your kept's,* tives, I do not hesitate to comply with the request. I have never for re moment ceased duly to appreciate the great distinction conferred upon memip first elected, or to be grateful for the kindness I have invariably receiest, Should I again have the honour to be returned, I would support the introd* lion of the Ballot as a necessary protection to the elector ; the !twenties Lord Melbourne's Governtnent for reforming the Irish Church, and the 14.1 Municipal Corporations, as just to the People, and necessary to the peace sat happiness of that important portion of the Queen's dominion.; and as abolition of Church rates, and all other measures calculated to rum reasonah!e grounds of discontent on the part of the Dissenter% of Eat laud, and thereby place the Established Church upon a surer founds tion. I would oppose all additional grants of public money to tie Established Church of Scotland. Ions in Amur of shortening the derails of l'Grlianteat, and would support the repeal of the Septennial Act; bail still am of opinion that a quinquennial term, subject to the occasional exereie of the prerilative, would produce with cc, minty a triennial renewal; sell much fear that more frequent dissolutions would interfere with the busines the country, and seriously affect the independence of Parliament. / am ',used to the Corn laws, and to every monopoly. I believe the ptesent Con. t laws are injurious to all interests of the country, and that their repeal WM 110T be productive of the dreaded evils to the agriculturists; but, constituted a Parliament at present is, it is impossible to procure their total tepeal; soil believe that the substitution of a moderate fixed duty is all that Reformers cal now attain. I would support every measuie which might protect the coati. enemies of Great Britain from fictitious roles; remove the causes of Oa frequent unjust disqualification of the elector, and secure full scope to the spite of the Reform Acts. I formerly stated, with respect to the extension of tie franchise, that the broader the admission of all intelligent classes to the Go. , really:tent of the country, the greater will be the security to our esisting tutions, and I have had no reason to change my opinion."

It appears that Lord William Bentinek is in favour of a " quir quennial term" only as the means of insuring us Triennial Parliaments: he therefore cannot object to a measure which would make the duo tion of Parliaments certainly triennial—which should fix the duratice of Parliament at three years, neither more nor less. This is what the Radicals now mean by Triennial Parliaments ; and surely they pm pose a more certain method of gaining the end which they, in commas with Lord William Bentinck, have in view, than that "quinquennial , term" proposed by his Lordship. In other respects, the address Lord William is not only unexceptionable, but admirable ; and thes must indeed be unreasonable who ask for more.

KILMARNOCK. The saintly laird of Killermont opposes Ds. Bowring. The Glasgow Argus says-

" Let the Kilmarnock District of Burghs look to its character : poor Andre, was only a bigot, but Killermont is a knavish one. He is bringing back is days of 'holy fairs:' while he is whining, canting, and whinging from his rostrum, his hired allies are gi'eing the jars and barrels a lift that day,' ai his expense, in every low change-house in Rutherglen and Kilmarnock. This mixture of hyper-asceticism and brutal debauchery is eminently edifying; as any elector who abets it ever look an honest man in the face again?"

But Mr. Colquboun of Killermont has been "making bead" against the Doctor.

WIGTON BURGHS. Kicked out of the county, Sir Andrew Agnel is trying his hand at the Wigton Burghs; but the;Glasgow Argos assures us that Mr. Mactaggart is as firm as Ailsa rock.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN. Mr. Hutton is said to be making a most successful can- vass ; and Mr. O'Connell feels so secure, that he has left his colleague to talk to the Dublin electors, while he himself has been dining and speechmaking at Cork. He made a pilgrimage thence to the bloody field of Gurtioe," where be harangued a large assembly. It is said that Dr. Stock and Mr. Richard Moore will be the Government candidates for Dublin University. We have no other particulars of Irish electioneering this week. Most of the borough contests will be decided in the course of a few days. The influence of Government is powerfully exerted in favour of the Ministerial candidates ; and the priests are everywhere as active as

usual.
