ST. ALBAN'S. The independent electore, in number about 200, dined together on Thursday week, to celebrate the return of Mr. Ward. That gentleman spoke with his accustomed spirit and ability, and to the delight of his admiring entertainers. His view of the results of the Election is encouraging— The Tories had done their worst. They had disgorged, during the late con- test, no small portion of the wealth of which they had plundered the People of England during the last hundred years, by the help of their rotten boroughs. They had employed their ill-gotten treasure in endeavouring to exclude from the House of Commons those men who were most likely to advocate there the cause of the People ; and what had been the result ? Why, upon the whole of the Borough elections they had not gained 50 votes. In the Counties they would not gain 30 more. In Ireland and Scotland, if there were any change, it would he in favour of the popular principle. So that, in point of fact, the People of Eng- land would meet the present Government in the next House of Commons with a clear majority of 150 Members, determined to assert their rights by all con- stitutional means. To the feelings of rage and mortification which the Tories experienced at this prospect, he attributed no small portion of the bitterness which had characterized the Tory speeches at I lertford, where they had been told that the Boroughs had disgraced themselves by the choice of their :Mem- bers! It would, probably, have been infinitely more convenient for Sir Robert Peel to have sent down with the writs, a list of Members from the Crown Office, of whose names he might have been graciously pleased to accept ! Ile had no doubt, that on such a list, the name of Mr. Iseresford would have been inserted in preference to his own. Ile had no doubt that on such a list the name of Lord Ingestre would be substituted for that of Mr. Cowper.

He should at once commence a course of opposition to Ministers— He wanted no further trial of them than a reference to their previous lives; and he should vote against them upon the Address, because it was his consci- entious conviction that, as Ministers and as men, they had already been tried by the tribunal of their country, and found wanting. Some of his friends might, perhaps, be inclined to take a less decided line, and would refrain from voting against the King's Ministers upon the Address, in order to give them an oppor- tunity of declaring their principles to the country. Still the result would he the same ; for when they came to be tried upon those principles, all good Re- formers must be united against them. . . . . Ile for one would never give to sir Robert Peel and his associates the power of continuing to misapply the vast re- sources of the empire.

BRIDP011T. A Mr. John Newman wrote a letter which appeared in the John Bull of Sunday last, to the effect that Mr. Flight, a supporter of Mr. John Romilly, had offered to advance an elector 401. or 50/. for Isis vote for Mr. Romilly. This turns out to be a Tory lie. Both Mr. Romilly and Mr. Flight have positively Contradicted the story ; and the character of Mr. Romilly is quite sufficient to settle it.

CAMBRIDGE. The Tories threaten Mr. Prvme with a petition against his return. The pretence is that he polled a number of illegal votes.

CABMARTHENSBIRE. The Tory aristocracy and gentry have been unable to engross the representation of this county. Sir James Williams has succeeded in def.erting their second candidate, Mr. Jones. On the nomination-day, Sir James said, " that he did not care the snap of his finger for the aristocracy of the county, who were pitted against him ; but that he threw himself upon the grey. coated yeomanry—the indepen. dent farmers of Carmarthenshire ; and that they could, should, and would return bim, in spite of the squirearchy and parsonocracy. This marks the nature of the victory, CUMBERLAND. We a considerable portion of Sir James Graham's address to his constituents at his election last week. A fuller report has since been published in the Gailisie.Jaarrnul ; from which we make a few additional extracts. In regard ta.tha reform of the English Church, Sir James said— The great principle of an Established Church, was, that there should be a resident minister in every parish, who should have a sufficient income, and there

should be no pluralists, unless the livings were small and contiguous; but then,

there was this difficulty in the way at starting—although the revenues of the Irish Church were admitted to be redundant, this was not the case with the

English Church. But he was prepared to say, that he was ready to take from those who had too much for doing little, and give it to those who had too little for doing much. The services of the cathedrals it might be proper to maintain, but

the sinecures of the cathedrals were indefensible. The twelve golden stalls of Durham were, to say the least of them, useless ; the deaneries held by Bishops were entirely indefensible. These were the blots that disfigured the Establish- ment and disheartened its friends ; these were the nuisances that must be abated, without loss of time, if they would preserve the fabric itself from ruin. He would not pledge himself as to details; but this he would ray at once, that he would diminish the number of prebends to augment the incomes of the small livings. The translation of the Bishops he thought bad, and would put an end to it.. The incomes of some of the Bishops were also too large ; and though he would not say that he would make them all alike, he certainly was prepared to say that he would approximate them to something like an equality.

Next, as to Corporation Reform— In his opinion, the Corporations required prompt and extensive reforms. Th, it property should be preserved to them certainly ; but the trustees for administer- ing it should be chosen from the great body of the people. Ile had taken ass active part in forwarding the measure of Corporation Reform in Scotland; and though it might require some modification to suit circumstances, he was an ad- vocate for having the same principle extended to England. What was that principle ? That the Common Council:nen were elected by the 10/. househol- ders ; that the Aldermen were chosen by and from the Common Councilmen ; and that a certain portion of the Common Councilmen go out annually. Ile would go one step further : he had never been enamoured of local jurisdictions ; and when in the House of Commons he bad had the honour of moving fur the hill fur the regulation of the police of Carlisle, he had stated then that he thought 2 the County Magistrates should have concurrent jurisdiction with the Local Authorities.

He woe, and always had been, a friend to the Dissenters.

During his whole life he had been the strenuous advocate of the utmost tole. • ration : and had ever demanded the concession of civil rights, without reference to religious creed ; and need scarcely refer to the part he took in the great measure for effecting Catholic Emancipation, and in the triumphant efforts made to repeal the Test and Corporation Acts. Fie professed himself ready to relieve the Dissenters from the difficulty under which they now laboured for want of a legalized registry for their births; and he would relieve them from the necessity of going through a ceremony at their marriages of which their consciences dis- appmed. The only limit he would impose, would be some precautionary measure to prevent clandestine marriages.

He refused to revise the Pension-list, though he had no sympathy tvith the Tories who were on it. He had been instrumental in reducing the number of Cabinet officers who were entitled to retiring pensions, and had not applied for one himself. As he was upon the subject of pensions, he would allude to another attack which had been made upon him. It had been said that to benefit himself he had base'y brought a bill into Parliament to secure to himself and others retiring pension+. Now, the fact was this,' that previous to the period anodic' to there had been in existence an act fixing the amount of pensions to be enjoyed by persons who had fill-d certain civil offices. Those pensions he thought too large ; and by the bill which he brought in and got passed, he reduced the amount of pensions one. half, and the number of recipients one-third. It so hap- pened, that when he introduced the bill into Parliament, there were seven mem- bers of the Cabinet entitled to retiring pensions as the law then stood ; he re- duced that moldier to four. Of that number so reduced, he made no claim to be one; hot three were tilled up ; and when Lord Ackland was appointed his suc- cessor at the Admiralty, he stipulated with Lord Grey that he should have the only retiring allowance left unfilled up ; to that Lord Grey consented, and Load. Auckland was now in the enjoyment of the pension. (Cries of " Shame, shame!" Some one on the hustings made use of an expression of incredulity : Sir James immediately turned round and said, " It is quite true; I state the fact upon my own knowledge of it.") DevoseortT. The 'return of Sir Edward Codrington and Sir George Grey for Devonport, and Messrs. Bewes and Collier for Plymouth, was a hard blow upon the :Ministers, who vainly thought to turn those important towns into nomination-boroughs. Mr. Dawson was surprised, and afflicted in no small degree at his defeat, and made no secret of his perplexity to find a seat. The Dissenters at Devonport, several of whom have been recently compelled to pay Church-rates by legal pro- ceedings, appear to have had their spirits raised completely up to the mark by the insolent High Toryism of the Admiralty nominee. The speeches of all the four Liberal candidates, but especially of Sit Edward Codrington, both at the nomination, and at a dinner given to them at Devonport on the 12th instant, were such as to justify us in the expec- tation that they will be at their posts on the first day of the session to oppose the Tory candidate for the Speakership, and afterwards to join in every lawful measure to eject the Tories. Dnoirwictr. It is doubtful whether the successful Member, Mr. Barrieby, who was elected by the one vote of the Returning dfficer, will be able to retain his seat, which will be disputed More a Com- mittee of the House.

HoastraNt. The Brighton Gazelle complains that the return of Mr. Hurst was unduly procured. We believe that Mr. Hurst is the choice of the independent portion of the constituency, who refused to desert him in obedience to the directions of the Duke of Norfolk : the Duke- wished his agent ( Mr. Hurst) to give way to Mr. Blount, alter the Catholic Relief Bill, had opened the door of the House to that gentle man.

Hrt.r.. The Hull election has cost time Tory candidate, or his backers, 12,000/. We yet hope that there is spirit enough among the independent voters of that important place to unseat the corruptionist. Besides bribery, there was a good deal of " bullying," according to the following statement in the Hull Advertiser.

" While the Tories were hiring bullies for the purposes of disturbance, and scattering their money in a way calculated to promote violence in this town, the Duke had ordered a large mass of troops to be concentrated at Wetherby ; and they were ordered to keep themselves in readiness to march at a moment's notice upon Hull, in case of any act of tumult or disorder. Only for the good con- duct of those who, in the slang of a faction, are styled Destructives, we should probably have had to deplore the loss of life as well as the loss of character." Ministry would become sincere Reformers had failed— the electors for his brother; and Mr. Wood for himself, amidst muck " It failed by the impossibility of even presenting such an array of men to interruption. Mr. Hume, according to the Times, made this speech— the country as would nut by their very name and character convey an exposure

He had shaken hands with his opponent, and he trusted that they were now the measures of reform which had been hinted at, and which I say had been hinted at only for the purpose of delusion, could never he expected. The country, by these banners being unfurled, and these officers appointed, was told ings as a gentleman, he was truly sorry for it, and he took that opportunity of that an attempt was to be made to drive hack altogether the march of improve-

PIOartaLK. In the Eastern division of this county, the Tories have triumphed. Walpole and Wodehouse are elected; Windham and Gurney are thrown out. We can tell the Whigs, that they have to *bank their own measures for this. Many of the Liberals were dis- rested by their compromising policy, and more by their be- stowal of Church patronage on the most eager of their clerical oppo- nents at the election in 1832. Surely never was there such infatuation before !

.RADNORSHIRE. The Tories have suffered a defeat in this county, by the return of Mr. Wilkins, in opposition to Sir John Walsh, the :Icier Tory pamphleteer. Mr. Frankland Lewis, whom the Whigs made Chief Poor Law Commissioner, being himself incapacitated for again representing the county, exerted all his influence against the Liberal candidate,—as a proper return for the favour he had re- ceived from the Whigs. We do not in the least degree blame Mr. Lewis for this. He never pretended to have become a Liberal ; but we hope the next Liberal Ministry will take his conduct as another warning against pursuing the contemptible, truckling policy, for which Lord Grey's Cabinet was distinguished.

READING. There are some passages in Mr. Sergeant Talfourd's speech on the nomination-dav at Reading which deserve perusal, and are in every way creditable to him who delivered them. lie stood before them the grandson of a Dissenting minister, of one who had, Sir forty-three years, exercised his ministry in this town, and who had here finished his course with joy. He was the son of a tradesman of Reading, whose pare, blameless, and amiable character was well known to many of them, but who was not now able to feel the pleasure which that day would have given him, and of a mother who still lived to enjoy that happiness which he was asking them to confer upon her son. He was a native of this town ; and it was not a mere piece of sentiment to say that his affection for the place of his birth had been the guiding-star of his course. That feeling had entered into all his pur- suits, into all his hopes, into all his exertions, into all his successes, into all his joys. Their good opinion was enough, if he had been tempted, to keep him in the straight path of duty and honour ; it had been to him, as it were, a second eonecience ; and he felt that its loss would have been the loss of his best joy, of Lie most desired reward. He had been educated in one of those venerable esta- blishments where high thoughts and honourable feelings were created and nur- tured,—where those principles were inculcated which, in after life, would keep a man true to the cause in which he had embarked. He had there received the instructions of its venerable and excellent master, Dr. Valpy ; who, though languishing on a bed of sickness, would feel his heart throb with delight at hearing of the proceedings of this day. The remote possibility of such a time as the present might, indeed, have dawned on the dreams of his youthful ambi- tion ; and, as his course had proceeded, and the possibility of his earliest wishes being gratified had become clearer and clearer, yet he had not suffered the ex- pression of that desire until their late Representative, Mr. Fyshe Palmer, had retired, full of years and of honours, from the post he had so worthily occupied. In allusion to the Reform Act, lie said— Was that measure to be fought and battled for, and then thrown away, only to be produced on particular occasions? He regarded it, not as a mere trophy of conquest, as a spoil of victory, but as a great means by which great and stobk ends might be obtained—means by which the People might obtain that cheap and good government which they had is right to expect. He anticipated the realization d that glorious prophecy which was made by the greatest (with one exception) of English Poets—he meant John Milton :—" Methinks I see in my mind a noble and puissant nation rousing herself, like a strong man after sleep, and shaking her invincible locks ; methinks I see her as an eagle mewing her mighty youth, and kindling her undazzled eyes at the full mid-day beams, purging and unsealing her long abused sight at the fountain itself of heavenly radiance.

Sergeant Talfourd declared it impossible for him to place any confi- ience in the Horse Guards Cabinet; and avowed Liberal opinions on several leading points.

The Reading Mercury gives the following account of Mr. Talfourd's parentage and education. " Young as he still is, he has long been the pride and boast of his native town. Every child knows the story of a personal career so honourable to himself, and SO full of example and encouragement to others—that he was the eldest son of a respectulde brewer, educated '.by the excellent Dr. Valpy ; placed with Mr. Chitty, the eminent special-pleader ; called to the bar about fourteen years ago; and that he has been distinguished during every period of boyhood or of man- hood by a rare union of genius and of industry, of moral excellence and of worldly success."

EAST Sunny. Mr. Briscoe has been forced to make way for the Tory Captain Alsager. There was a vast deal of vote-splitting ; and the mode in which the election was carried on generally proves that principle laid exceedingly little to do with the choice of candidates. The Liberal party were also too confident of success, and wretchedly organized. Perhaps it is not going too far to say that they deserved their defeat. The Tories were active and unscruplous in their use of means. Intimidation was resorted to as usual.

TAMWORTII. The Albion of Wednesday contained the following summary of a speech said to have been delivered by Sir Robert Peel to his Tanivrorth constituents, on the 16th.

" Sir Robert Peel addressed his constituents at this town on Friday, in a speech the delivery of which occupied an hour. Ile went over all the chief points of political contention with his usnal tact and talent. He expressed his Jirns conviction that he should be able to conduct the government of the coun- try, with the new House of Commons, on Conservative principles, and in the spirit of those constitutional reforms on which all reasonable and reflecting men were agreed. He appeared to think little of the paraded returns which were made in certain lists ; and related a story of three tailors, who heretofore met in Teoley Street, in the Borough, and commenced an address to the Throne with " We, the people of England," &c. He glanced at the slight shades of differ- ence which existed between the Constitutional Whigs and the Tories (as they were called), and the dark gulf which lay between all classes of Constitutional Reformers and those innovators who sought to break up the whole foundation of Government. He said that the late Ministers were indebted to their op- ponents for the necessary support on all occasions where Conservative measures were to be carried against wild and visionary speculators ; and in a like manners the new Ministry had a right to look for a similar support among honourable men, who appreciated the advantages of a just and powerful Government, in contradistinction to a weak and vacillating authority, which was perpetually driven from pillar to post in search of sothe resting-place."

The Times immediately laid hold of the favourable view of his position supposed to have been taken by Sir Robert, and made the most of it for its Tory friends ; but on the same evening the Standard declared the report of the speech to be " extremely incorrect, and wholly unauthorized." The gratifying inferences from it must there- fore fall to the ground.

TAVISTOCK. Party spirit seems to have run high at this place dur- ing the last election. As one of the consequences, the North Devon Journal mentions, that " an eminent solicitor was so roughly handled, by being horsewhipped and kicked, that he is confined to his bed."

WARWICKSHIRE, NORTH. Sir Robert Peel appeared at the polling- booth at Coleshill on Saturday last, on his way to London, and voted for Sir Eardley Wilmot andMr. llugdale, as Members for the Northern division of this county. An attempt was made by an attorney's clerk of Birmingham to dispute Sir Robert's right of voting ; but the Under- Sheriff, without hesitation, overruled the objection. The right honourable gentleman was loudly cheered on his leaving the polling- booth.—Birmingham Advertiser. [ The ground of objection, it appears, was, that as a Minister of State, he was disfranchised by a regulation of the House of Commons, which declares it to be criminal in any Minister of the Crown to " use the powers of office to influence electors !"] WORCESTERSHIRE, EAST. The Tories are outrageous at the defeat of their favourite candidate, Mr. Horace St. Paul; who appears to have been exceedingly unpopular. It is stated in the Birmindiant Gazette, a Tory paper, that- " Mr. St. Paul's election was lost by the ruffianly conduct of the mob. Three hundred of his friends were attacked on going up to the poll, with stones and brickbats ; one coach was upset ; many persons were most seriously hurt, and others were severely beaten. In consequence, a great many of his *friends were prevented from polling ; and had it not been for the timely assistance of a strong military force, the most serious consequences would have ensued."

YORKSHIRE. Lord Morpeth and Sir George Strickland were elected without opposition for the West Riding, on Saturday.: Both the Members delivered Liberal addresses to the assembly. Lord Morpeth ridiculed the idea that there was any turbulent disposition on the part of the People to deny the King the constitutional use of his prerogati ve.

" To rally round the Throne is the bounden duty, and will, I trust, be the spontaneous act of Englishmen, whenever faction, force, or fraud shall dare to assail the sacred person, or the lawful prerogative, of him who fills it. What are the facts now ? The King dismisses Lord Melbourne, confides the entire intermediate government of the empire to the Duke of Wellington, till Sir Robert Peel could be got back from the yellow Tiber, and the Tarpeian rock— fatal goal of ancient ambition. In all this there would seem no very shackled or sickly use of the 'prerogative; never did it wear a lustier appearance. But, says the first council of Wakefield, the King's unquestionable right to choose his own advisers is unconstitutionally assailed. What!—did the Radicals rush to arms? Did the Destructives lay hold of torches? Was Birmingham in array, or London in flames? Listen to Sir Robert Peel. What does lie declare at the Mansionhouse ? ' It is impossible to deny that since the occurrence of the important events that have taken place within the last six weeks, there has been a calm and tranquillity in this country, which, after the political excite- ilunt in which we have lived for some time past, could not have been antici- pated." Who, then, are those unconstitutional assailants?"

He adverted to Sir Robert Peel's repudiation of the doctrine of measures not men, and asked " who then are our men"?

" The old familiars of the Treasury ; the often-seen, often-hissed-off stagers of Downing Street; the officers of the Admiralty whom Portsmouth refuses, and Plymouth rejects; the Household which Lord Roden declines to head ; and, lest haply we should be carried away to any extent of credulity by the young dalliance of Conservative Reformers, it is imparted to us in the easy moments of convivial freedom that they have a dislike to the very name of reform."

He threw back the charge of being factious in the teeth of the Tories- " Away with the charge of faction ! I leave it to the school of politicians who rejected the Corn-bill of Mr. Canning and Timber-duties of Mr. Thomson. If the present Ministry obtain a majority in the ensuing Parliament, I shall oppose what I think wrong, I shall support what I think right, but I shall or no factious or wanton obstruction to the conduct of public business. If they have not a majority, any one who understands the working of our consti- tution, before or after the Reform Bill, will admit that they must sooneror later give way to the party that has it. If, after twenty years' tenure of office, twenty years of undisputed preeminence and unrivalled service to the Protes- tant religion and dynasty, Sir Robert Walpole was compelled reluctantly. to yield before a majority of one, why is the sense of the nation not to operate in a similar way on Sir Robert Peel?'

Sir George Strickland said-

" The King, in the exercise of an undoubted prerogative, has been advised to dismiss his Ministers, and to dissolve the Parliament, and be asks his People for their support and concurrence. Now the time has come when it is y. ur duty to exercise your prerogative in the choice of your Representatives, and to declare whether you think reform, improvement, and redress of grievances, have gone too far, and have been too rapid. And you arc also called upon to declare whe- ther you wish for the establishment of an Anti-Tory Administration, wade up of the remnants of the Oligarchy and the old Tory fiction. Every member of the present Administration is pledged by a long life to resist alteration and change in every shape. It was a declaration of the principal member of the present Administration, that a Government of rotten boroughs was the most perfect system that the human mind could imagine, and likewise that no Go- vernment could be carried on if the People had a real choice in their Representa- tives. I admit, gentlemen, that it is no easy task to discover what ate the principles of the present Administration ; but their having beenjoined by the bigotry of Colonel Pereeval and the notorious Sir Edward Knatclibull, decides their Intentions and stamps their character. And, gentlemen, it does not up.. pear to me that the Administration now formed is much improved by the First Lord of the Treasury, Sir Robert Peel, who has published a manifesto to prove that he is not an apostate, and that through a thousand inconsistencies, lie has ben a consistent Reformer. Gentlemen, no man at all acquainted is ith the history of Sic Robert Peel's life, can suppose for one moment that he is a Re- former at all ; and whatever may be his professions, his measures will fill far short of the wishes of the People. In 1832, when Earl Grey resigned the seals of office, an Administration was formed by the Duke of Wet- hngton and some of his present adherents. They said they would carry on the

Government upon Reform principles. From the Land's End in Cornwall to the remotest rock in Scotland, there arose a loud burst of indignation at such an abandonment of principle. The shout went through England, Ireland, and Scotland, and hurled them from their :nomentary power. Gentlemen, are you divided ? Are you willing to receive those crumbs of Reform which may be indignantly cast at you by an Anti.Reforniing Administration ? (" Never, never!") I repeat your words, never !"

IRELAND.

BELFAST. The Corporation and Orange Tories have been beaten, after a severe contest. Mr. APCrinee, a Liberal merchant, had a majority of six votes at the close of the poll, over Lord Arthur Chi- chester ; who lost his election by declaring his intention to support the

Wellington Cabinet. The numbers were--for 'Foment, 773; 3PCance, 719; Chichester, 71:3. This is a victory over the Orange- men in one of their strongholds. The " Protestant Boys" were quite outrageous at their defeat, and attacked the persons and property of their opponents in the most shameful mariner.

CARLOW Cousrrv. The proceedings here have been illegal through. out : polling-booths shut up, the military called in, and every sort of unfairness on the part of the Returning Officer. All this has pro- cured the temporary triumph of the Tories, Eruen and Kavanagh, but they will certainly be unseated.

CASHEL. During the election here, the Reverend MP. M'Dontiell, parish priest, having gone amongst the crowd to produce order,a policeman levelled his gun with the intention of shooting him ; but the piece for- tunately missed fire. Mr. Sergeant Perrin has been returned, by a large majority, over Mr. Pennefather, formeily the proprietor of the borough.

COT.ERAINE. Mr. Alderman Copeland delivered a Liberal and spirited address on his reelection. He pledged himself to persevere in his efforts to overthrow the corrupt Corporation influence of the place, and avowed himself an advocate for the Ballot. The politics of this

gentleman are disputed, because, though he has fought and vanquished the I3eresfords in their den, he is said to have signed the Conservative address in London. Be that as it may (perhaps another Tory forgery), we have no doubt that he is prepared to vote out the Duke.

Coes. Messrs. Chatterton and Leycester, the Tory candidates, have been returned ; but will inevitably be unseated, for a reason which the following paragraph explains.

Not fewer than 470 non-resident freemen were suffered to vote, in direct con- tradiction to the terms of the Reform Act, as interpreted by Mr. Sergeant O'Loughlin, and explained by Dr. Baldwin ; who read to the Assessor, from the Mirror rf Parliament, those passages in the debate on the Reform Bill which h;!:1 reference to the subject of non-resident freemen, and which dis- tinctly disallowed their right to vote. The majority of the Conservatives will be therefore completely annihilated, and a large majority secured to Messrs. Baldwin and Callaghan, by the striking off of those 470 illegal votes.

There is also an opinion of the Twelve Judges to the same effect as that of O'Loughlin. Indeed the Reform Act is itself sufficiently plain on the point of non-residence.

DUBLIN. After all their boasting, the valorous Orangemen have once more suffered a total defeat both in the Metropolis and Metropo- litan County of Ireland, at the hands of their great enemy Daniel O'Connell. The numbers at the close of the poll for the city, were —O'Connell, 2678; Ruthven, 2630; Hamilton, 2461 ; West, 2457. In the county, Fitzsimon, O'Contrell's son-in-law, had 7:33 votes; Evans, 694; Hamilton, 686. Never before did the Tories make such exertions. They had been most assiduous at the registration, and had another great advantage in the neglect and inability of the poorer voters to pay their municipal taxes, by which some hundreds of votes were lost to the Liberals. There has been a good deal said about the inti-

midation resorted to by the O'Connell party. 'There is some truth in this charge, we dare say; but intimidation was systematically used

by the Tories also. Besides the threats in the Orange newspapers against those tradesmen who should "dare" f vote for the O'Connell

candidates,—besides the incitements to assassinate O'Connell himself (and which prevented the chairing),—West and Hamilton's Committee published the following resolutions, while the contest was pending.

" Resolved uuanimously,—That in consequence of the gross system of persecution and intimidation poetised against the respectable traders and shopkeepers. Roman Catholics as well as Protestants, by placards and other denunciations, this Committee feel bound to meet the atrocious system of despotism practised at this election, by pledging themselves to furnish to the nobility and gentry resident in the principal .scritares and streets, and who are the great mass of purchasers and consumers in the Metropolis, lists of those engaged in trade, who support the views or the sound and respectable portion of the community, as well as with lists of those who decline to act in conformity with such views. " Resolved,—That this Committee feel called upon to take this decisive measure, for the purpose of protecting the honest tradesman and shopkeeper w9nr are supporters of law, and peace, and good government, against the odious tyranny which is employed against them ; and that communications be solicited, to enable such lists to be com- pleted. "JOHN KIDD, Secretary."

The ir,tent of this is plain : the shopkeepers who refused to support the Tories are to be marked out for ruin. They who know the charac- ter of Irish Orangemen, the " Protestant Boys," will not easily be persuaded that open violence was not resorted to by them, when there was any chance of its being of service. So much for intimidation.

We think the Tories had better be silent on this head. It is said that a petition against the return is to he tried ; but we agree with the cor- respondent of the Chronicle in thinking, that it is mere moonshine— the Liberal majority is too large to be broken down.

TRALEE. Mr. Maurice O'Connell has been returned, by a majority of 4. One of the electors, who voted for Mr. O'Connell, stated on the hustings, that he had been offered 7.5/. to vote for Mr. Denny.

SCOTLAND.

EDINBURGH COUNTY. As we anticipated last week, the influence of Government, the neglect to bring forward a popular candidate in good time, and the most shameless intimidation of Liberal voters, have been successfully employed to secure the return of Sir George Clerk, though by a very small majority-31 nominally, really 29, as two of the Tory votes are bad : the numbers were—.565 for Clerk, and .534 for Gibson Craig. This battle has been fought by the Liberals under considerable disadvantages ; and it is probable that Sir George Clerk has been returned for the last time. The correspondent of the Courier gives the following as a specimen of the tricks resorted to by the party of Sir George Clerk to gain the election. " A canvasser in the interest of Mr. Gibson Craig, on going to the bowed an elector in the country to bring hint to the poll, saw a cart drive rapidly away

from the door, a few seconds before his own approach to it. On inquiriag foe the voter, the good lady of the house said that he was out in the fields gathering potatoes, and would be home in an hour. This created suspicion, and the cart

was pursued. After a considerable run, it was overtaken ; and in the bottom

of it was discovered the elector lying dead drunk, the cart being in the act of driving him away to a distant part of the country. Ile was taken out of it and recovered his senses; when he stated, that Sir George Clerk's friends had ma.

dered him oblivious about two or three in the morning, and that he had had es clear consciousness from that hour till after his recapture. He stood to his pledge when he became sober, and voted for Mr. Gibson Craig. It is said also, that at Mr. Watson's ball and supper, the electors were plied so potently with intoxicating beverages, that they first became riotous, and damaged the wooden shed in which they were entertained, then broke the windows of the mansiunhouse, and finally were driven in coaches, in a state of oblivion, to the poll, and gave their votes for Sir George Clerk, when they were scarcely able to articulate his same."

GLASGOW. Another Waverer has been thrown overboard ut Glas- gow. Mr. Ewing, who polled 3214 votes in 18:32, mustered only

2297 against Mr. Oswald's 3832, and Mr. Colin Dunlop's 3217. Mr. Ewing has candidly stated the cause of his defeat in a farewell address to the electors-

" I was flattered with assurances of the satisfaction which my conduct had afforded ; and that, if I would only agree to oppose the present Government, I

might walk the course. I at once rejected the boon. 1 did so, because I wryer would consent to any pledges, and was determined to remain free and unfettered! —I did so, because my invariable principle was to support the Ministers when I thought them right, and to oppose them when I considered them wrong-1 did

so, because British justice allows a fair trial befere sentence, even to those who may have previously offended—I did so, because I thought that the effect of a

preconcerted and uncompromising hostility to any servants of the State Watt&

virtually be to destroy the equipoise of the Constitution, to strip the Crown of its prerogative, and to transfer the nomination of the King's Government into the hands of the people. These were my reasons, as I have repeatedly explained. them in my public addresses. To the majority of your number they have sot proved satisfactory, and I have therefore been deprived of my seat."

The Glasgow Liberals very properly thought, that if Mr. Ewing bad not made up his mind as to the wisdom or folly of trusting suck men as Wellington, Knatchbull, and Stormont with carrying oat the principles of the Reform Bill, he was no fit representative for them. There has been no " reaction " in the capital of the West of Scotland, and its influence will no longer he neutralized in the national councils. HADDINavoNstunE. Mr. Robert Ferguson, who gave up his sure seat for the Kirkcaldy Burghs to fight the Tory candidates in this county, has gained the victory, after an arduous contest ; the numbers being—for Ferguson, 299; for H. T. Hope, 286. No other Reformer in Scotland, probably, could have carried the county in spite of Tory influence and activity; and Mr. Ferguson has turned his populari6y among his countrymen to good account.

KILMARNOCK. Dr. Bowring has been returned ; but will, it is said, have to go through the ceremony of a second election, on account of as informality. The nature of the informality is thus stated in the Dum- fries Times--

" It appears that the requisite official notice from the Sheriff of Ayrshire, is which the returning burgh is situate, was addressed to the Sheriff of Lanark- shire, in which Itutherglen is, at the county town, Lanark, in place of Glasgow, where he resides. It was immediately forwarded to Rutherglen by express; but it did not arrive till some hours after the prescribed opening time was passed, when some of the electors proceeded to vote ; but, according to the opiuioa of the Dean of Faculty, there must be a complete renewal of the business." Bowring's majority, however, was so large, that there is little dark of his being the choice of this district in the event of a fresh eleetiMa. In the mean time, he has been fked at Glasgow.

KINCARDINESHIRE. General Arbuthnot is elected ; but it is sn- moured that he will resign and turn over the county to the rejected Pledge-breaker of Perthshire. Will the constituency submit to this unspeakable degradation?

PERTHSHIRE. The pledge-breaking Master-General of the Ord- nance, the Duke's " right hand," is the rejected of Perthshire. The std..

vantage which, as we stated last week, Mr. Fox Maule gained over his opponent on the first day's polling, was improved on the second, and the majority increased from 40 to 82; the final numbers being--Coe Maule, 14.53; Murray, 1371. Sir George Murray has probably con.. tested Perthshire for the last time. The Tories must look out for a candidate of more wealth, and at least common political honesty. Sir George must seek an asylum in one of the remaining Tory rotten bo- roughs, where the electors dare not call their souls their own. Any extended and independent constituency will spurn him. This victory in Perthshire outweighs a score of defeats elsewhere.

. STIRLINGSHIRE. Here the Whig candidate, Admiral Fleming, has been beaten by the Tory, Mr. Forbes. The Edinburgh correspondent of the Courier says, that the Radicals never forgave the Admiral foe voting for the Coercion Bill.
