ST. ALBAN'S. The election for this borough has excited more than usual interest, owing to the strenuous attempts made by the 'Furies to (mist Mr. Ward, the able and independent champion of Irish Church Reform. For this purpose, Mr. Grimston, a popular member of Lord Versdam's rather popular family, and Mr. Horsley Beresford, the no- minee of the Carlton Club of Tories, were put forward. It would have been a great triumph, if a lieresfiPed had beaten Mr. Ward ; brit, not- withstanding his lavish expenditure, a majority of the electors promised Mr. Ward their support, arid, as it will be seen, kept their promises. There seems, indeed, in the midst of povertyund venality, to be on bide- peodent party in the place, who, though desirous of being on gond terms with Lord Verulam, will not allow St. Alban's to be made a rotten Tory borough. This party supported Mr. Ward, and nearly one fourth of the whole registered electors voted for him alone. The nomination took place on Monday morning ; and the show of hands being in favour of Ward and Griniston, Mr. Bereslord (the " un- pleasant " task of whose nomination fell upon his own electioneering agent) denianded a poll ; which began immediately. Mr. %Yard addressed the electors. 'He considered it right to give an accoulit of the reasons which had induced hinf to take rather a marked course in the proceedings of the last session—

When be clinic before them in 1832, he was, front bin long residenee abroad, so completely uninformed upon several English political que-tians, that lw felt too much distrust in himself to give any derided opinion ispon differerit points which then -agitated the public mind. He therefore adopted a course very different from that which lie was now prepared to pursue, and avoided giving any pledges, although he knew that by so doing be had excited the distrust of re v.-ral who were now his warmest supporters. He could not give a better de-es iptioo of the feelings with which he then went into the House of Courunoni., than by saying that it corresponded with that which had been expressed hy Mr. Grimston, in his address, with reference to the Duke of Wellington. The filth which Mr. Griaiston now had in the policy of the Duke of Wellington, he at that-time had in Earl Grey. He went into the House, therefore, as a supporter an poly pt a. vides of the late Administration. He in consequence voted with tho.c-Alimsters

on most occasions. It was sometimes with reluctance; but he luol.ed upon their several measures as part of one great whole, anti did not feel 'Musa at liberty to weaken the general cause of Reform by opposing them. It was not till he saw the utter vanity of that system of conciliation Whirls Earl Grey wee inclined to try with the House of Lords—it was not till he saw the futility of all attempts to reconeik irreconeileable political enemies—it was not till he saw that Earl Grey Was losing that by which only he could be supported, the approbation of the People—that he took his own course. The electors knew wIlat that had been. lie thought it eeeessary both to speak and vote against thedate Ministry, when he saw It attempting to mutilate their on n measure for the Reform of the Irish Church. It was with that that his course, of opposition (if he might so call it) to the Whig Government began.

Mr. Ward then alluded to his endeavours to procure an authentic list of the Divisions, and to his celebrated Irish Church Resolutions. He strongly excited the feelings of his auditory by referring to the Rath- eormac massacre; and spoke very decidedly in flee our of a thorough reform of the English Church, the removal of Dissenters' grievances, Corporation Reform, short Parliaments, and the Ballot. Mr. Grimston and Mr. Beresford spoke very hi idly. The former expressed his " abhorrence " of Mr. Ward's principles; and Mr. Beresford's speech was of a similar Tory cast, so far as It was in- telligible. The polling went on very slowly on the first day. There was a rather sulky feeling in the town, owing to the fact having transpired that a corps of prize-fighters had arrived from London, it was supposed to assist the Tories, and also to the suspicion that the Vetulam party intended to make over their surplus votes by wholesale to Beresford. Means, however, were taken to defeat this tnanceuvre, should it be attempted ; and the London bullies, by whomsoever brought to St. Alban's, or whatsoever their errand, decamped under cloud of night. The second day passed with the greatest good-humour; and the close of the poll was graced by the presence of the Countess of Verulam and her beautiful daughters.

On the first.day. the voting Wf15—for Grimston, 82; for Ward, 77; for Beresford, 60. At the close of the second day it stood thus_ Grimstone, 360; Ward, 284, including 121 plumper.; ; Beresford, 237. Ward and Griinston were returned of course. Thus Mr. Beresford has contrived to lower the stock purse of the Tories by some four or five thousand pounds, and gained nothing but defeat in return for it.

The state of the p 11 e as .iffic:al!yr deleted on We InetAdy ; and Mr. Grimston was indiscreet enough to adduce his station at the head of the poll as a proof of the reaction in favour of Toryism. This culled forth a reply from Mr. Ward, which was most enthusiastically cheered, in spite of the presence of a host of Tories, who came to Grimston's charring. Indeed, the return of Mr. Ward, when his considered that the Carlton Club calculated with 'certainty on ousting bim, and that the triumph would have been held up as one of Beresford principles over Church Reform, is one of which that gentleman may well be proud. He tnight, we know, have been elected for more than one of the largest constituencies in the couutry ; but he preferred to fight and beat the Tories in one of their strongest holds.

BIRMINGHAM. The nomination took place on Wednesday. The speeches, as given in the London newspapers, are exceedingly brief. Messrs. Attwood and Sehuletiehl were loudly applauded. Mr. Spooner was indifferently received. At the close of his speech, a scene of great confusion °wined, owing to the haste of some persons who jumped from the windows of the Town-hall into one of the An immediate alarm (says the Post) was created, and a rush took place towards the front, alien a number of the seats gave way. The confusion in- creased, and the pressure towards the front was so great as to cause a part. of the pannelling to give way. Many persons terrified now dropped into the body of the Hill, and were unfortunately severely injured. One natio had his leg broken, another his anal, and OM} WIS 80 severely crushed as to render his ease dangerous. These have been :mowed to the Geueral Hospital, sod four others to their own homes. The Ilan at one time presented au awful appearance."

The show of hands beinein. favour of, Attwood and Seholefield, a poll was demanded for Mr. Spooner. 'rile polling commenced yesterday; and at the close, the numbers were--for Attwood, 1295;

1268; Spooner, 656. These ?lumbers are decisive, as there were not more than 500 remaining votes to poll.

Balsam.. Here the Rehomers have suffered a severe defeat ; owing to an injudicious attempt to grasp two Members, when they were sure only of one. They took the Tories by surprise on the day of nornina. tion. by bringing forward Sir John Hobhouse together with Mr. Baillie, whose return with Sir Riehard Vyvyan was at that time secure. The Tories in great wrath immediately nominated Mr. Miles, a wealthy citizen of Bristol; and have triumphantly returned him, along with Sir Richard Vyvyan. Thus the Reformers have lost their useful Re- presentative, Mr. Baillie. Bristol was one of the places in our-eye when we cautioned the Liberals against putting the return of one friend to the cause in jeopardy, for a chance only of returning two. In this city, as at Liverpool and Norwich, the Reformers will not be secure until the corrupt old freemen die off, and the illicit influenee of the Corporations is broken down. The Liberal candidates were beaten on the first day, and then withdrew. The Tories, however, polled out their full strength. EV:SHAM. The conduct of Mr. Hudson, the Reform candidate, who deserted his party by strangely making off from his committee on the

• night preceding the nomination-day, has given the Tories a victory at Evesham. Their candidate, Mr. Borthwiek, has been returned with Sir C. Cockerell. Evesham has been long noted for its corruption; and perhaps Mr. Hudson discovered, at the eleventh hour, that more money was requisite to carry his election than he was prepared to spend.

FINSBURY. The proceedings on Wednesday, when the nomination of candidates took place on Islington Green, do not require to he given at any length. Indeed, the uproar was so great that little could be beard. Sergeant Spankie was entirely indebted to Mr. Witkley for the little attention he received from the crowd. The Sergeant cunningly courted Wakley's party; declaring their candidate to be a real Reformer, while buncombe and Hobkonae were only Reformers in disguise. Mr.

Duneombe energetically denied the charge, and challenged Sergeant Spankie to prove it by a reference to any of his public acts. Of coarse :be Sergeant was mute. Wakley too quizzed:the Sergeant, in retusn for

his compliments; and prophesied that, if he gave ally cellular votes in Parliament, he would be degraded by the Tories fr a Stogeatia into

Corporal Trim. Atr. Hoblionise avowed himself a Radical Reforroey; and Mr. Richard Taylor, a ho proposed him, vouched for the aimataity of his principles. The mob, however, would not listen to Mr. sob- house ; hut assailed him with rotten eggs, and other offensive missiles.

The show of bands was in favour of Buncombe and Wakley, mute poll was demanded for the other candidates.

It-commenced on Thursday; and then it soon became apparent,,as

from the first we suspected, that Wakley was decidedly preferred to Hobhouse by she Finsbury constituency, and that all his cajolery and impudence would not save Mr. Sergeant Spankie from an ignominious defeat. At the close of the first day, the following numbers were an-

nounced—Duncombe, 2944; Wakley, 2000; Spankie, 14,98; Hob- house, 1469. The gentlemen who have been so arrogant in their

denunciation of Wakley as a drawback on the otherwise not doubtful success of Mr. Hobbouse, and the Morning C.'hronirle sad other journals who so superciliously ordered him off the fieldoto make way for the Whig. or- Tory triinmer front Bath, mist have been well nigh convinced of their mistake by the publication of these num- bers. To the poll, however, all the four candidates again went yester- day. At eleven o'clock, it was found that Wakley not only kept Ms advanced position, but increased his distance from Hobhouse ; and the intruder's friends being satisfied at length with the mischief they bid done by dividing the Reform interest, withdrew their candidate, in order, as he said, to secure the return of 1Viikley. The poll finally closed with the following numbers—lhincombe, 4447; Wakley, =9;

Spankie, 2310.

Here we have a pretty specimen of the boasted reaction. Spankie was the Tory favourite; he received also many votes, to their shame be it spoken, from trimming Whigs ; be has been inn the field silent; and sedulously at work for many weeks; in 1832 be polled 2,848 votes, when only one out of five Liberal candidates; and now he counts with all his advantages .5t)0 votes less. Let his disgraceful defeat he a warn- ing to all future renegades and political traders. As regardsler. Wald' y, we have already said that we think him likely to be a very useful Member of Parliament. In the character of a medical reformer, if in no other, he may do mud] good—harm he cannot do, even.if be were evil.disposed, wllich remains to be proved. The successful candidates addressed the electors on the close of tie poll : there is nothing remarkable in their speeches. Mr. flobkoase also spoke, and congratulatiol tile electors un the defeat of Sergeant Spankie, alitough he should have been better ple,sed to have been himself the successful candidate in the plate of Mr. 1Viikley. 'Ma took credit to himself for having retired in time to save the 'Abend interest; and said that he should not have conic forward but for.tbe assurance that Mr. Wakley had not a sufficient 'number of voteoto beat the Tory c mdidate. Sergeant Spankie was not present; bat a long riddress from him to the electors appears as an advertise-

ment in the Post of this morning. It is very elaborately %mitten, arid is us full of modest assurance as his other recent productions of the same kind. He begins by complimenting Mr. Wakley at the evense of Mr. Hobliouse. and then deals shin%) blows on some of his pro- fessed supporters for their imputed supineness in his cause.

t waive the insignificance of my own pretensions, on which a majerity has decreed against mt.; but as oet Arm Mr. Ilohhouse awl Mr. Waklcv I think sun. have made. a just selectien ; for Mr. Wakley appears to we to be in talent's infinitelysewrior, anitin every kind of respectability fatly espial, to Mr. flobinnee. I hope thas gentleman-will not be offesided by a coniparison with the candidata in whose favour he resigned.

"I limy be permitted 1.0 say a word to another class of my well.wishers, whose good inteutious (and I believe they were sincere) brought forth no fruit, and who could not bear to be visited by the winds of Heaven too roughly. The first day of polling, vas douhtedly.waa very cold and bleak, as I experienced at seven in the morning, afteonry bivouac of the night.

Many of my friends had boeu absurdly impressed by well- meaulog,,peOle. ignorant of such matters, but very obstinate, wills a notion that Mr. Fownall loot his election for this borough because he was high on the poll the first day,and they thought it dangerous for me tube high on the poll the first day If one-half of those who had premised and were unspoiled had come forward the first day. I should -have been at the beset of the poll, and the thoughtless vulgar wino follow success werthiltuye follonwl ow. " The election in the City of the three Conservative caodhlates (for nothing shall induce me to use the foolish mischievous nicknames of Whig aunt Tory) was estirely lost through the singgishoess, indolence, and supineness of those Conservativeswbo wished well a:RI did nothing. The termination of that contest haw had in veey,bad effeet in Fiusleiry amid other places, and the City Couservatives who deserted Orel/404y deserve to be cursed with thecurse of Meroz.

" I should not have said so much, but there are some elections coming on in which the recollection of these culpable errors may route Mill 10 111C exertions they are bound to employ for their own preservations. 'God helps them that help themselves,' as Peer Richard says. If you will not cross your threshold to assist the candidat-m whose prin- ciples you approve, you have no right to complain that you are represented by men for waste opponents you have neither canvassed nor voted.

Their adetellelli- ries give an exainple of vigour and ac.ivity. laudable if such qualities were disphszed for, as they are against. their country.
