She left her ladyship in bed withoiit fife or Candle. Lord Walsingham slept iii ariother apart- ment on the second Hoof on fhe op'posiie Side of the staircase. Witness slept iu a spate room on the story over Lord Walsingham's room She went to hell about eleven o'clock, and awoke tiboul two o'clock, when she was alarmed by the noise of water running. She opened her bed- room window, arid called " fire." She ran down stairs in her night clothes and escaped ;, but she could not tell how, she Was in such a state of terror. A plan of the rooms on the floor where the deceased slept was show n to witness, and she pointed Out to the jury the relative situations of every persoii who was m the house at Ihe time of the dreatdful occurrence. There were four rooms on the second floor; Sind witness did not See the fire in his lordsblp' 3 room till sortie titne afterwards. Slfe saw Lady Walsingham after she had leapt from the window, she was in dreadful agony, and observed, that she believed her lord was burnt. She nid not. state why she leapt from the window instead of going down the stair- case.

Archdeacon Dc Grey, brother in- law of Lord W- was present, and asked if her ladyship had any wish respecting the execution of a testa- mentary paper, and she replied she was so Confused and agonized as to be iricapable. She was in a dying state, and a clergyman was introduced, who prayed with her; and a little before six o'clock she emitted from her stomach a quantity of blood— she was suf- focated. Before she expired she stated that she was awoke hy the smoke which filled her room, and she pened the window and threw herself Upon the leads below. She said she believed the fire had broke out In Lord Walshingham's room ; and she had previ- ously expressed to Dr. Clarke her fear that some serious accident would occur through his lordship's carelessness. Jane Mills, housemaid lo the deceased; Was awoke by the ringing of bells about two o'clock in either her lord or lady's bed room. Got up instantly, aiid Lady Wals ngham's woman said the house was oii fire. Witness said " Nonsense," but ran down stairs on oberving smoke, and opened Lord Walsingham's bed- rtootn door.

The sriioke and heat were so op- pressive she could only call out, and receiving nri answer she ran through Lady W.' s room, aud she aslted what was the matter. Witness replied, " his lordship's bed- curtains are ori fire." Site rait to another room to get water, hut befdre site could get it and return to his loidship's roont with the water, a voice called to her to escape, aiid she put the water down and escaped down stairs. There was no tire then in her lady's room, and she might have escaped with ease if she had had presence of mind. His lord- ship always had a candle and fire in his room. A fireman deposed to finding his lordship's body burnt to a cinder, in the ruins, iri the drawing- room; that morning, at six o'clock.

MOUNTAINS OP THIBET.— At a Meeting of the Asiatic Society of Calcutta, extracts frtim Mfo Gerard's letters, relative to the fossil shells collected by him in his late tour over the § nowy mountains of the Thibet frontier, were read. The loftiest altitude? at which he picked up some of them; was on the! crest of a pass, elevated 17,000 fpet: and here also were fragments of rocks, bearing- the impression of shells; which must have been detached froni the Contiguous peaks rising far above thci elevated level* Generally, however, the rocks formed eff these sliells are at an altitiide of 1(>, 000 feet, and one ciiff ibax a mile in perpendicular height above the iiVUrest level. Mr. Gerard further states, u Just before crossing the boundary of Ludak into Busssilier, I was exceedingly gratified by the discovery of a bed of fossil oysters, clinging to the rock lis if they had been alive.< 1 In whate\£ r point of view we are t « consider the subject, it is sublime to think of millions of organic remains lying at such an extraordinary1 altitude, and of vast cliffs of rocks formed out of them, frowning over the illimitable and desolate waters, where the oceati once rolledAsiuiic Register.

At a splendid enterta nrm n! given by the civic authorities of the metropolis to the Allied Sovereigns during their brief sojourn in Eng- land, the first thing which his laie Majesty, then Prince Regent, called for was not by any means to b • p ocured a glass of sherry f The most rare and exp. nsive wines graced the banqil t; but sherry had been purposely omitted, as too . ordinary a beverage ever to be named in the presence of royalty. We believe it was at the same entertainment that, amidst a profusion of " all the good things of this world/' two of the Royitl Dukes were put. out of countenancc by a pine apple!

Our Gallic neighbours are well qualified by experience to be our instructors in the noble art of modern reform, alias turning the world upside down, and most,, sincerely do w6 hope that the British nation will attend to the lesson now read to them.

I remain, Sir, Your very obedient servant, S. BUTLER. Shrewsbury, April 27, 1831. The events of Ihe past week have been such as to call upon every man who wishes well to his country to stand up for it in an uncompromising attitude A detail of the attempt made by the Radical party to bully the borough of Shrewsbury into a return of two Reformers and Political Economists, but which lias been defeated, will be found in onr columns and it will be seen that an attempt was commenced yesterday to bully the Counly of Salop into a feturi of two Reformers. Of one of the Reform Candidates proposed we shall say nothing further than that, as he is an avowed supporter of the present Miriisiers and their " Budget of Reform," we trust, nay we are quite sure, he will be permitted to continue to ruralize at home, there to look after the produce of those acres which the promoters of the Reform Bill are most anxious to bring to the level ofa Baltic price. As to the other Reform Candidate, we would call - the serious attention of every husband, every parent, every christian and moral man, to the address from his pen, of which a copy is given in another column: and then let thein ask ' themselves whether, as christians nr as patiiots, they can support an indi- vidual who can venture such daring, such unblush- ing, such despicable avowals ? Freeholder* of Shropshire! be not deceived. The cry is, indeed, for Reform : but beware that jou are uot led headlong iutti Ihe vortex of Revo, lutiuit. As was well observed by a learned gentle- mun yesterday, wait till the houey- inoon of the present inauspicious union between the Crown and ihe Reformist* is over: be cautious, be vigilant, bx. k warily upon the to en who now call upon you in ihe name of Royalty to plunge with - thini into the mire of Radicalism r aud as yuli value your country— us you value the constitution of your' country— as you value the institutions which have been nurtured by that constitution— as you value your own present and future peace— as you value the religion, the morality, aud the welfare of your . families— as you value the property that you possess, aud the prosperity of y ourselves and your neighbours— as you value these things, resist the attempt now made to bully and bear down the independence ofthe County ol Sulop ; show that you pusscss English hearts and English feeling hy voting, one aud all, for Sir Rowland Hill, Bart, and ( John ( l essen Pellium, Esq. Bflrough were Richard Jenkins, Esq. and R: Slaney, Esq ; . pud must persons anticipated- that the election would have passed oil' without opposition. It was, however, known that endeavours were making by some of Sir. Slauey's supporters to bring forward another candidate in untsdii with their own views: they tried some gentlemen df the coiVnty for that purpose, but being unsuccessful, a deputation posted it to Manchester, and Richard Potter, Esq a wealthy manufacturer, of Broughton, near that town, con- sented to permit himself to be put in nomination ; he was, however, in consequence of lire deitth ofa sister, unable to appear in person; arid'George Gill, Esq. of Manchester, returned with the deputation, as Mr. Potter's representative: the party arrived in Shrews- bury at a late hour on Thursday night, and immedi- ately announced Mr. Potter as a Candidate.— As soon as this was known, some of Mr. Boycott's former sup- porters wrote, eai'l)' on Friday morning, to that gentleman, who came immediately to Shrewsbury, and announced himself a Candidate in opposition to Mr. Potter— not from any wish to disturb the repose of the town, but from a determination, that as the opposite party had brought forward another candi- date, he would contend against him on behalf of Ihe principles that he ( Mf. Bbycoit) had always sup ported, and more especially now that a gentleman wholly unconnected with the county, and known only to those in Shrewsbury with whom he occasionally transacted business, had bten proposed as a candidate. Previous to Mr.. Boycott's arrival, the. work of put- ting up fhe hustings had commenced; and at ten o'clock, the hour fixed for the nomination, all the parties were in their places in the Town Hall.— For a detail of w hat took place there, we refer to our 4th page; and we have only fo remark upon it, that the liberals, with their usual illiberatity, prevented all the speakers, with the exception of those of their own side, from obtaining aiiv thing like a hearing: and we believe that even some of their own - party were quite disgusted with thc conduct of the Re- formers in this instance. The poll commenced tit two : and it soon became evident to Mr. Slancy's friends, that Mr Potter had rfo chance, and that the contest would very soon be between Mr Slaney and Mr. Boycott— no person that knew the borough having for a moment enter- tained a doubt of Mr. Jenkins's success. An inter- view was in consequence sought on behalf of the friends of Mr. Slancy and the supporters of Mr Potter with Mr. Boycott and his friends; and it was offered that Mr. Potter should withdraw if Mr. Boycott would consent to do the same, in order to prevent the further carrying on a contest. which must have involved not only Mr. Boycott and Mr. Potter, but also tlie other candidates in considerable expense. This arrangement was, after some deliberation, ac- ceded to, arid in consequence thc contest closed that evening; and Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Slaney were dnlv returned on Saturday morning: arid wc trust that from the experience of the last week, the one party will learn such a lesson of consideration, and the other will take such means of providing against a future occasion, that the Borough of Shrewsbury shall not, again become the arena on which any litter stronger, however respectable," is fo exhibit himself in the character of a candidate for its representation. Had thc poll continued, Mr. Jenkins would, as last year, have carried the election with an overwhelming majority ; and it must lie now evident,( froni the sup- > ort that he received from the rank and respecta- bility connected w ith the town; and from the great majority of principal burgesses, together with the circumstance that the Reformers could find no sccnnd matt iri the whole county that would consent to be put in nbrhination,} what is Ihe opinion of those per- sons who have thc greatest interest in promoting the welfare of the country and maintaining unimpaired its established institutions, on the subject of that measure for the promotion of which the whole king- dom has been at this momeiirput in a state of com- motion. The chairing of the Members took place on Mon- day ; and fortunately the weather, though lowering, held fine during the procession.— The parties took different routes— Mr. Jenkins and his friends ' moving, at twelve O'clock, from the Towri Hall, in tlie follow- ing order:— Three Trumpeters on Grey Horses.'

COUNTY ELECTION.

Gentlemen,— Domestic affliction of 110 slight or com- mon nature has latterly limited my intercourse with you. My wishes for the prosperity of my native county have ever in absence held flieir usual sway.

Relying upon the strength of the Cause I shall advo- cate, I throw myself upon your favonr, and shall assuredly take the sense of the Co'- nty. I sha'll look to, the Vole of every Independent Freeholder, without making- further professions. " MV- 1 - R,.

At ten o'clock yesterday morning, a numerous and respectable cavalcade assembled iu the Market Square of this town, and proceeded to the Old Heath, where they met Sir Rowland Hill, Bart who, attended by an immense cavalcade of country friends, was on his route to Shrewsbury ; aud the whole body rode into town by eleven o'clock, the hour appointed for the nomination. Sir Rowland Hill was received with much p. pplauSe, as was also J. Cressett t'elharri, EsKj. who Shortly after made his Professional Gentlemen engaged in support of Mr. Jenkins" ( proposed by Mr. Jenkins); 3 times 3. — Mr. How returned thanks.—" Our Gracious Sove- reign and the Navy"( proposed by Colonel Leighton) 3 times 3.— Duet, " All's well," by Mr. T.

Mrs. Kiiyvett Leighton aud Family ;" 3 limes 3.—" Lady Charlotte uppearance.— The hall was. crowded to ^ xcess That part' of tbe Court near the . Bench, with all portions' adjacent to the table and within range of it Was filled with gentlemen and fredwltiers of the county : at the back « rai an immense crowd of persons, some with aprons on,' and others of whom we have too much personal knowledge not to be perfectly aware that they were any thing but freeholders : what they were got together for on this occasion will be explained by the sequel ofthe day's proceedings.— Many respectable freeholders who were at first mixed up with this portion of the assembly found themselves so uncomfortably situated, and so pressed upon, that, as they could, they drew off, and their places were as constantly filled up by bricklayers, labourers, and others, who, by some accident, contrived to be in the way for this occasion. The High Sheriff took the chair, and was about to open the business fur which he had summoned the meeting; when there was a cry from the hack of the Hall to adjourn to the Quarry. On this J. C. PEL- HAM, Esq. addressed the assembly,- observing, that the meeting this day was one called by the Sheriff only, at the instance of certain respectable freeholders. The day on which they would have to meet in obedi- ence to the King's writ would be Monday ritext. Me bad seen many meetings held in the. Hall in which they were then assembled; and he thought that as the present was a meeting for freeholder only, and fot none else, there was abundant ivolo in, the Ball for any persons that had really a title to be present. If, therefore, he stood alone, lie would oppose an ad- journment. r> 1 . , The Sheriff then took a show of hands on the ques- tion of adjournment; and there being few hands held up for such a proposition, the question was negatived. ' The High Sheriff, Sir E. J. SMYTIIE, Bart, then stated the business for which the Freeholders were assembled; and the Under- sheriff, W. EGE 11 TON JEFFRI- VS, jun. E- q read the requisition in pnrsuance of which the present meeting had been convened. Sir ANDREW CORBET, Bart, then said—" Mr. High Sheriff, and Gentlemen, I trust that my stepping forward 011 four successive occasions to propose Sir Rowland Hill as a Candidate for this County, will be ascribed to my cordial regard for the individual, and iny high sense of his political conduct. Gentlemen, I confidently hope that you sympathize with me in admiring the soundness of his views for the welfare 6f this country, and his consistency in support of them. Gentlemen, we must all feel that the country has need of such qualities in her senators.,- We must all admit that these are times in which England expects every man to do his duty — to use his best judgment in distinguishing her real friends, and fo exert hiniself in support of them, as if the everit'ftf the. struggle depended on Iiis individual exertions. Gentlemen, I have made up my mind to support tlte man wild will support the ancient institutions of the country— who, without being averse lo moderate and reasonable reform, will manfully resist the tide of revolution; and, therefore, 1 have again the honour to propose Sir Rowland Hill as a Candidate for this great county." JOHN COTES, Esq. in seconding Sir Andrew Cerbel's nomination of Sir Rowland Hill, regretted his inability to do'justice to the cause of the Hon. Bart, who had for ten years received the unanimous suffrages of the freeholders of this great aud re- spectable county. The public conduct of the Hon. Bart, had been at all times consistent; and his character in private life was such that no man could say a woid against it. Independently of his services in Parliament, his anxiety lo serve the county had been recently evinced on an occasion in which the peace of the county had been im- minently threatened. If character and conduct were to be, as heretofore, the grounds 011 which approbation was to be conceded, then he would venture to say, that Sir Rowland Hill richly deserved, as he doubted not he would receive, the suffrages of llie independent freeholders of Shrop- shire : and he felt a full confidence that the Hon Bart, would again be placed in Oie pyoud situation of one of their Representatives, ' and'Volitinue for many years to be honoured With that confidence which had been hitherto so worthily reposed in him. The Hon. and Rev. RICHAUD NOEL HILL briefly nominated John Cressett Pelham, Esq. as a fit and proper person to represent the County of Salop in Parliament. ROBERT BURTON, Jun. Esq. then said— Mr. High Sheriff, Gentlemen, & brother Freeholders, I beg leave to second the nomination of the Hon. Gent, who has just proposed Air. Pelham as one of your representa- tives.— Having known him long and intimately, it is with confidence that 1 can assert, that he is a man Lyster;" 3 times 3.— Many other toasts and scuti- whose attachment to the interests of the inhabitants of this county, whose highly cultivated talents and cniil imiril application, as well as zealous and unre- mitting attention to his parliamentary duties, qualify him to stand forward as a candidate for the honour of representing you at the ensuing election. He is one who has, both in public and private life, ever acted uprightly, honestly, and independently,— one who, should he be So fortunate as again to become thc ob- ject of your thoice, will be foutid the strenuous and firm supporter of such tneasnres, and such only, as will tend to secure the permanent tranquillity of the empire, the stability of the throne, and the to be wished for and continued blessings of our venerable constitution. WILLIAM OWEN, F. sq. of Woodhouse, said he had the honour to propose William Lloyd, Esq. of Aston, as a fit and proper person to represent this county iu Parliament. He was extremely sotry fo do so in op- position to their late Representatives, for whom he had personally the highest respect: but these were times in which private feelings must give way to a consideration of the public good. The King had dis. solved the late Parliament because he forind that it did not express the wishes of the people. The King had appealed to his people: and he'( Mr. O) trusted tliat appeal would be answered by thc return of men determined to support the King and his present Ministry. T. L. LongUeville, Esq. of Oswestry, seconded the nomination of Mr. Lloyd. Mr. CHARLES HUGHES, of Ellesmere, said they liad just been told by a worthy Baronet fhat England expected every man to do his duty. He ( Mr. H.) was ready to do his: though he was sorry the task that he had undertaken had not fallen into abler hands : as it was he should endeavour to acquit him self to the best of his ability. Thev had been told much of the excellent private character of their late Representatives. He had 110 fault to find wilh their private character : and he thought considerations of private character had nothing to do with the pur- pose for which they were this day assembled. ( Much disapprobation. J One part of the business of this meeting was to consider how their late Representa- tives had performed their public duty as public servants : and he would tell what had been the con- duct of the one : he had in every instance voted in support of the extravagant measures of a wasteful Ministry : the other had voted against the second reading of the Reform Bill, and in favour of General Gascovne's motion. He had once supported Mr. Pelham under an impression that that gentleman would have served his country; but he now called upon the freeholders to oppose that gentleman on account of his contradictory votes and vacillating conduct. The gentleman he ( Mr. H.) was about to propose was one who had not spent his money in a foreign land, an advocate of the Reform Bill, who would stand by his King and his country, and who would support bis Majesty and his Ministers: he beg- ged leave to propose John Mytton, Esq. as a fit and proper person to represent the county of Salop in Parliament. Mr. SAMTJF. L BICKF. RTON, of Sandford, near Os westry, said he seconded the nomination of John Mytton, Esq. because he was in favour of the Reform Bill, and because he thought the adoption of that Bill would lead to retrenchment in every department of the Stale. Sir ROWLAND HILI, said, he liad so lately had the honour of being elected one of their Representatives, that he trusted during the short period that had elapsed— a period as eventful as any in the history of this country— the Votes which he had given to pre- vent an infringement of that Constitution which had for ages been the admiration and envy of the world, had met with the approbation of the Freeholders of this County,— Let it not be considered, however, that he was adverse to amend abuses which might from time and circumstances have crept in, but he never could lend a hand to so sweeping a measure as the one which had been proposed, and to pull down a fabric which had existed for so many years, by destroying so great a number of those places, uncondemned and unheard, which had returned those representatives who had done much in bringing this country to that, state of eminence which it now holds, and he trusted the people of England would flow Come forward and prove they are conscious of the blessings and liberty they enjoy in comparison of surrounding nations, and would not give their sanction to destroy the Constitu- tion which had been harided down to them by their ancestors, and replace it With one which is merely theoretical, and which is both revolutionary iri its tendency and unjust in its principle, and would in fhe end be the total subversion of the rights, privileges, and institutions of this country, fthicli it had and ever should be,' either in or out of Parliament, his earnest and constant erideavorir to maintain; and most sincerely thanking those gentlemen who had ho- noured him with their attendance this day, he trusted he might have that support continued which they had so kindly given him on several former occasions. JOHN CRESSETT PETHAM, Esq. then endeavoured to address the meeting ; but so great was the dis- graceful clamour made by the crowd of shoemaker bricklayers, & c. & c. who crowded the back of the Court, that the Sheriff in vain attempted to obtain for Mr. Pel ham a hearing, although he even threatened to dissolve the meeting unless he could obtain silence ivbife that gentleman spoke. Mr. Pelham, as far as we could collect his observa- tions, spoke in vindication of his parliamentary conduct, assigning reasons for his several votes 011 important questions, and declared that he was on the one hand independent of party, anil on the other had never frritkled for the sake of a fleeting popularity. Mr. Pelham said he complained not of Mr. Hughes's oh servations on his parliamentary conduct: he was glad fo hear every freeholder speak bis honest sentiments : but he must protest against the doctrine that a man's conduct was not to be judged in any way as connected with his private character : how, indeed, could they ever form a judgment of the character of individuals, but hy their conduct before the world : and he would ask any man w here, if Reform was wanted, it ought to commence ? [ Much cheering.'] To the voice of tbe Freeholders, he was ready to bow with deference: that voice, however, Was not to be gatheied from the persons, not freeholders, who were now endeavouring to prevent him being heard ; and until that voice had heen made known, for which, in a few days, they should have ample time and opport 4 ity, and not tiil then, would he believe that he had lost the confidence of the freeholders of Shropshire. He had always been a popular voter: but he had on every occasion refused, and always would refuse, to condemn persons unheard. VV. OWEN, Esq 011 behalf of Mr. Lloyd, said that gentleman came forw ard as a staunch Reformer.— Mr. HUGHIS made a similar declaration for Mr. Mytton. JOHN BATHER, Esq. said— Mr. Sheriff, Brother Freeholders, and Brother Farmers,— Will you allow me, in this stage of the proceedings, to offer a few observations to you on the most momentous duty which we are called upon this day to perform. 1 do not come here as a partisan, as thc supporter of the Ministry, nor as the opposer of any measure because it is theirs; and I would wish you to survey, on all sides, the Great Question which now agitates the land, and not to come to any intemperate decision upon it. Gentlemen, this Reform Bill proposes to extinguish the rights and franchises of numerous classes amongst us; and after this wholesale spolia- tion, how is the spoil to be divided ? Why are we, the cultivators of the soil, to be excluded from any parti- cipation of the Elective Franchise, unless we possess a lease for such a term as no landlord now will grant, and no tenant accept? And why is the occupier of a tenement of £ 10 in a borough to be preferred lo us, the occupiers of hundreds of acres, paying rent of hundreds by the year? Why is he to be preferred to us, the strength and stay of the nation— to us, the sup- porters and employers and paymasters of the poor? Look to it, Gentlemen, what you are to gain before you hold up your hands in favour of those who avow themselves the advodates of this measure of confiscation. And look to it what you are to lose-, for, think vou, when the preponderance Political Power shall be thrown into the hands of the low tradesmen and manufacturers of our populous towns, that they will leave us a protecting Corn law ? Look fo that and remember, that though they will take away the. protection they will leave the burthens— we shall still have to maintain the poor when we are ground down to the comlitiou of the poor ourselves— we may labour, but we shall not have the increase— Wre may toil, but we shall not even eat bread in the sweat of our brows.— Gent! men, 1 am a firm advocate for reasonable and moderate reform, Ihe spirit of the times calls for it, but it is a spirit that requires to be closely watched and prudently guided. I would not send men to Parliament wno, wilh a mulish obstinacy, would resist all Reform; but 1 would send those who would watch the measure in its progress, and reduce it to what is practicable and safe.— Sir, a clamour has beeu raised against one of our kite Members 011 the score of inconsistency, in which I cannot join; I think he has acted as an impartial and conscientious man might fairly act. When that Honourable Gen- tleman was first proposed to us as a member, 1 felt it nty duty to oppose him; I have since watched his conduct in Parliament, and have seen much therein that has dillecl for my approbation— nothing that is not reconcileable with the character of a man of Integrity and high honour. I court not his itcquaiut- ance, and have 110 right to pretend to his friendship but as a humble freeholder, and I now very heartily tender him my vote. As to the Hon. Bart, he, at least, has Consistently abided by the principles on which he started— the Old T ory Principles— and woe to the land when those principles are to. be utterly extinguished among us. True it is that the present day has shewn us, for the first time, tbe Union of Royalty with Radicalism ; but wait awhile, wait till the honeymoon, at least, of this most inauspicious conjunction is over, aud we shall speedily see the monstrous issue. 1 see now but the beginning of evils, and it is our duty to send to Parliament firm and prudent itien to protect our interests in the approaching conflict. But we have two new Candi- dates proposed to us, and their proposers speak loudly of their merits and their qualifications; but why are they not here to speak for themselves? these are not times to trust to Deputies. By the one Gentleman we have been told that private character has nothing to do with tlie qualifications of a Senator! a most convenient doctrine! but, Sir, I hold that private virtue' is the only basis of public worth, and that tbe man who in all the relations of social life is immoral, is not fit. to he entrusted with our Repre- sentation. 1 have read that an honest man is the noblest work of God! and I will have no man for my Representative who avows, Or whose proposer avows, a contempt of this principle. Sir, 1 ntean 110 personal criticism oil the character of any gentleman, more especially when that gentleman is not present, I only combat the pernicious and abominable principle that has been advanced. Of Mr. Lloyd, with whom alone of the newly- proposed candidates I have any ac- quaintance, 1 wish to say nothing disrespectful; but why is he not here ? why does he not face us, if he means to come at all ? 1 trust that the Gentlemen and Freeholders present will hold up their hands in favour of those who have appeared to avow and defend their principles. I wish you would have afforded a fairer hearing and more reasonable atten- tion to their developement; for myself, being satis- fied with the line they have taken, I conscientiously think them proper men to he put in nomination, and shall give them my humble support accordingly. R. A. SLANEY, Esq. as a lover of fair play, regret- ted that every gentleman had not been allowed a fair hearing; and after expressing the highest personal regard for the late Representatives, with whom, as with many others that he esteemed, he differed in political opinion, proceeded at some length to state his views on the subject of Reform ; but as he ex- pressed himself to the same purpose, and on some points almost in thc same words, as in the addresses delivered by him 011 the hustings on Friday and Saturday last, which will be found in our 4th page, it will be unnecessary here to repeat the lion, gentle- man's sentiments. W. L. CHILDE, Esq. then moyed Ihe thanks of the meeting to the High Sheriff for the firmness, im- partiality, and decision, that he had evincid on this occasion, the first proof that had been seen in this county of the wisdom of that Act by which His Ma- jesty had been enabled to avail himself of the services of all classes of his subjets. The HIGH SHERIFF returned thanks, and hoped that if any omission had taken place on his part, it would he ascribed to his agitated feelings— having left the dying- bed of his mother to attend to the duties of his office this day. J. C. PELHAM, Esq was again about to address the meeting; but the same disgraceful clamour was re- peated as before: we could, however, hear him say, that the day on which they were to assemble in obedi- ence to His Majesty's writ was Monday next, 011 which day the poll would commence : the freeholders should there have an opportunity of recording their sentiments, arid those persons who could do nothing but make a clamour would have ample time 011 Mon- day and several following days to exercise themselves in their particular sphere. Sir ROWLAND HILL said, that Ihe day of election being fixed for Monday next, be should feel it his duty ou that day to demand a poll.—( Great cheers. J A show of hands was then taken : and the High Sheriff declared that the show of hands was in favour of William Lloyd, Esq. and John Mytton, Esq,— The Reformers gave 3 times 3 cheers for " the King and Reform."— The friends of Sir Row- land Hill and Mr. Pelham gave 3 times 3 cheers and one cheer more for " the King and our ancient establishments." We shall not here dispute the correctness of the Sheriff's decision as to the show of hands: but we will venture to assert, that if a show of votes had been required, at least ten to one of ihe Freeholders present were for Sir Rowland Hill and Mr. Pelham. We hope that Mr. Slaney, who was present on this occasion, and who has said so much of the penchant which the u middle classes" feel for the Reform scheme, took particular notice of their feeling as ex- hibited this day by the freeholders of the county ; for we apprehend that the real " middle class1' is com- posed of persons possessing at least some stake in their country; and here they were at least ten to one against the measure on behalf of which he has lately made so many orations.

MONTGOMERYSHIRE ELECTION.-— A Freeholder of this county having been solicited for his vote in support of the Right Hon. Charles Watkin Williams Wynn at the ensuing election, made the following remark ,.— u That he most willingly would give it, and if he could split himself into a hundred thousand pieces, and if each piece of liiin had a vote,, they should be given to Mr. Wynn." J. Hayes Lyon, Esq. is a candidate for Mont gomeryshire in opposition to the Right Hon. C. W. W. Wynn. CARNARVONSHIRE.— Friday next is fixed for the eleclion of a representative for this county. No opponent is likely to appear, so the late member, Mr. Wynne, is expected to walk over the course. CARNARVONSHIRE BOROUGHS.— On Thursday afternoon the late representative, Mr. Omisby Gore, arrived at Carnarvon, and instantly proceeded to pay his respects to the burgesses, by whom lie was most favourably received. On Friday he com- menced his canvass of the other boroughs, where he met with a similar reception.— So much for the veracity of the Globe, London newspaper, which last week represented Mr. Gore as retiring, in order " to make room for one of the Paget family." — How these Cockneys are given to lying!— On Friday morning Lord Uxbridge commenced a can- vass on behalf of his uncle, Admiral Sir Charles Paget. SALOP INFIRMARY. At. the half yearly General Board, held yesterday, Dr. John Webster was elected a Physician to this Institution, to succeed Dr. Darwin who had resigned, and who was at the same time unaninously elected a Physician Extraordinary.— The votes given on the election of a Physician were— for Dr. Webster 102.— Dr. Wood, 24 — Dr. Allnatt 22.— Dr. Crawford, 18.

Fernhill, near Oswestry 2 2 0 In the Arches' Court, on Monday se'nnight, the King's Advocate applied, 011 Ihe part of John Mytton, Esq. of Halston, in a cause of divorce instituted against him by his Lady on the ground of cruelty and adultery, for a monition to compel Mr. Giffard, two ofthe Miss Giffards, and Mr. G. Holyoake, to give evidence 011 cross examination. The Learned Counsel slated, that those parlies had been examined at Albrighton, under a Commission that had heen held there, and at several other placcs, to take evidence. Dr. Lushington opposed the motion upon affidavits filed that ample opportunity had been given for the cross- examination of these witnesses, and that Mr. Mytton had neglected to avail himself of it at the proper time. Sir John Nichol refused to grant a monition but upon payment of costs of the suit. Mr. Hart Davis retires from the representation of Bristol ; and Colonel Baillie aud Mr. Protheroe will be the Representatives of that city. Mr. Godson, the barrister, has been returned for St. Alban's. Sir Robert Inglis and Mr. Estcourt will again be the Representatives of the University of Oxford.— The University of Cambridge is contested between Lord Palmerston and Mr. VV. Cavendish on the one hand, and Mr. Goulburn and Mr. William Peel on the other. At Liverpool, Gen. Gascoyne and Mr. Ewart will be again returned, neither party venturing to bring forward a third man.

VV'e understand that Archdeacon Butler bas re- ceived from the Lord Chancellor a letter containing His Majesty's commands for an additional week's holiday, to be prefixed to the summer vacation, for the Young Gentlemen at the Royal Free Grammar School iu this town.— The Lord Chancellor has been pleased to add a letter in his own hand, written in very elegant Latinity, addressed to the Young Gen tlemen, and announcing to them this mark of Royal Favour, and exhorting them also to shew their sense of it by renewed diligence on their return to school. The Lord Chancellor has lately presented the Rev. Archdeacon Butler, of the Royal Free Grammar School iu this town, to the valuable living of Euigor, in Nottinghamshire. This presentation was entirely unsolicited by the Archdeacon ; and the Lord Chan- cellor was guided in his selection of Dr. Butler solely by his well known high character and distinguished merits.— This appointment will not take Archdeacon Butler away from Shrewsbury. We are authorized to contradict fhe report of Dr. Johnson, of Belmont, having resigned the office of Physician to the Salop Infirmary, or discontinued practising as a Physician.— It was Dr. Henry John- son, of Oxford, who withdrew from contesting for the honour of being appointed Physician to that Institu- tion. The Hon. II. B. Lygon and the Hon. T. H. Foley again offer themselves for the county of Worcester.— The Hon. Capt. Spencer, R. N. ( brother of Lord Althorp and of Lady Lyttelton) opposes Colonel Lygon. Dreadful Eire al Lord Wahingham's. THE DEATHS OF LORD AND LADY WALSINGHAM. On Wednesday morning, soon after two o'clock, a most calamitous event occurred at 55, Upper Harlev- strcet, Cavendish- square, the resilience of Lord Wal- singham, by the destruction of the premises by fire, which was also attended hy the deaths of Lord and Lady Walsingham. It appeared that soou after two o'clock, having returned from a party, his lordship, who slept in the front room of the two pair, retired to rest; and her ladyship went lo her own apartment on the same floor iu the rear. In a short time the apartment in which Lord Walsingham slept was on fire; from what cause is not known; since, owing to the rapidity with which thc flames extended, his Lordship, who was in an infirm state of body, bccan e a victim of the devouring element. The alarm reached her Ladyship, and she immediately resorted to the fatal resolution of precipitating herself from the window of her apartment, by which accident both her legs were fractured. She was taken to a room over the stables, in the rear of the premises ; and was instantly attended by Dr. Clarke ; but from the nature of the wounds, and the dreadful agitation of mind into which her ladyship was thrown on hear- ing of the calamitous event which had happened to her noble husband, very little hopes were entertained of her recovery, and she breathed her last soon after fi\ c this morning. Scarcely a vestige of property was saved; and we lament to add that the servants have lost almost their all. Upon the first intimation of the conflagration, the County, Protector, and several other engines, were soon on the spot; when, after very active exertions, the fire was extinguished, being confined to the building where it originated, very ' little damage being done to the adjoining houses. Her ladyship when first discovered was lying upon the leads of an adjoining house. The servants, awakened by the screams of her ladyship in her fright, made their escape down stairs, to whicli the fire had not then communicated.

I opposed it because I considered it unjust ill principle to deprive any bodies of men of their franchises without proof of their Delinquency: I opposed it because I thought it dangerous in practice to give so great political power to the classes therein appointed as its depositaries, and because it omitted to give the Farmers any vote at all. I am prepared to give any Bill that may bj introduced into the House my unprejudiced atten- tion ; if it should steer clear of the errors of its predecessor, I shall he ready to support it; if it persist in them, I shall persist in my Opposition to it. If you ajiprove of these Sentiments, aiid honour mfwith, your Suffrages, you mill have additional claims to- that gratitude and regard which your past kindnesslitis always excited in my heart. • V'-' I have the Honour to be, •' ' Gentlemen, Your obedient humble Servant, ROWLAND HI LI..

SALOPIAN JOURNAL* AMID COUMEM OF WALESd Shrewsbury Election. The election for fhe borough of Shrewsbury cafne On on Friday last, ou which occasion Ibe Town Hall was crowded to excess. Tbe Mayor took bis seal nl ten o'clnik, and the usual forms were gone through in introduction of the more inUtesting fioiiioti of the business of Ihe day. T. BUI. KKI. KY OWEN, Esq. said, Unaccustomed aft he was to address public assemblies; he sincerely wished the task bad fallen lulo abler bauds. He was, however, cheered by Ibe consideration thai what lie bad to propose would meet Willi their Approbation, called upon, as tbey were, lo exercise the privilege of electing Iheir Representatives as freemen iu obedience to His Majesty's writ. He should abstain from entering upon the arena of politics on this occasion. He was perfectly av » afe that shades of difference existed Ou all questions of public interest, not Only ainoug those Whom he had Ihe honour of addressing, but among all free and independent Englishmen, and there was a shade of difference between bis iionoorable friend and re- lative and himself on Some pftinfa : but for purity of Motive, upi igfilness of conduct, attention to their ai. d Ihe public interests, and Ibe observance of all the duties of social life, no man could stand higher than did Sir Slaney : St on these grounds lie begged fo propose hifn as a Representative of this Borough hi Parliament. HF. XNT BKNYON, Esq. said he gave his support fo Mr. Slaney at the last election, because lie be- lieved liiin to be u firm supporter of economy, retrenchment, and constitutional Reform. When iW elected Mr. Slauey had pledged himself to these principles, and he ( Mr. B.) considered llmt Mr. Slaney bad redeemed lhat pledge,- which was nriher evidenced by the support be bad given lo Ihe measure Of Reform brought forward by His Majesty's Ministers. He therefore begged leave to second the nomination of Mr. Slaney as a proper person lo represent fire interests of the Borough of Shrewsbury in Parliament. R. A. SLAN EY, Esq. rose, and, addressing himself follie Mayor and the crow ded assembly before him, said, lie again ventured to place iu their hands the highest and most important trust that could be confided to those hands,' namely that of retaining fit and proper persons lo frame the laws oiider Whicli they aud their posterity were to live, to sup- port their privileges, lo maintain their rights at all rimes aud in all places, and more especially to nphold those rights by zealously supporting such measures as should be brought forward for lhat object, and for the improvement of tbe institutions on which those rights were founded. He felt how inadequate be was to fhe task to which he aspired ; but in purity of intention, and honesty and inte- grity of principle, he jpould yield to no man; atid he appealed fo his past conduct for the proof that he had uniformly adhered to those principles that he had always professed. During the tune that fhey had reposed their confidence in him, lie had sedulously endeavoured to improve the welfare of flie working classes, and in doing so he had been ar promoter of all measures lif amelioration iu their favour, and had voted for every measure of econo- mical retrenchment and reform. He begged to stale, that until that morning he knew not lhat more than two candidates were before the Burgesses of Shrewsbury; but he trusted llis past adherence to file principles on which' Ire had come before them would indiice them again fo return him to Parlia- ment. If ou any occasion lie should truckle and barter his vole, if in tbe hour of trial be should be found wanting, then let them return hiin no more fo Parliament. From a subject of so much insignificance— that' of speaking of himself— he looked to one of the highest interest, oil which the eyes of this great Empire had been turned, it happened in the progress of nations as of individuals, that as the people grew more civilized and more enlightened, so ( lid their desires increase lor a participation in the luxuries of life and of those privileges which others possessed. This feeling was daring the late war kept down by the more pressing dimgers of the moment, and since tlie peace it had been delayed by the excitement Occasioned by flie discussions on the Catholic Question : that, however, having been disposed of, a voice arose from the people of this kingdom, de- manding that Ihe elective franchise should be con- ferred upon Ihe large bodies composing the masses of iudiislrioUs communities in various parts of the empire That subject, after being brought forward in the late Parliament, had there been set aside, and in consequence the present appeal had been made to Ihe people. Since he had had a seat in Parliament, proposals Had been made for extending the franchise to Bir- mingham, Leeds, Manchester, and other great towns ; these propositions had, however, at all times been opposed by those who now termed themselves mode- rale Reformers: but if those proposals had been acceded to, il would have shewn how well deserv- ing they were of Ibe privileges for which they asked. Then cuine before the House the case of tbe borough of East Retford— a place notoriously Corrupt, and the franchise of w hich it was proposed should be given to a populous place : this, however, was rejected. After Ibis, a man who had carried the glory and arms of this country to Ibe highest pitch, uud of whom he should never speak but with fhe highest respect aud admiration— be luetut Ihe Duke of Wellington— made, as Prime Minister, a declaration that he would oppose any Parliamentary Reform. Then it was thut Reformers of every grade: those who were Reformers to a certain extent, and Ihose who would carry il tu. lengths by others deemed imprudent, joined iu one united demand that tbe privileges appurtenant to the « lecfi- ve franchise should be w idely and more duly extended. The Civil List was another queslion of great interest that came ou ut Ihe commencement of the late Parliament, and had be not been prevented by ti domestic culamily from attending his public duties on that occasion, he should have voted iu the majority on that question. He would, Willi regard to the Reform Bill, say, that bis Majesty's Ministers did not, as had been asserted, pledge themselves tu support the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill; but they did say, that they would stand or fall by Ibe principle, the whole principle, and nothing; but Ihe principle of Ihe Bill : aud so lie would say : but with regard to its details, no politic, no considerate, no just, or wixo mun, would assert but that iu Ihe Committee such judicious mid considerate alterations might be made as would improve it and render it more efficient in various respects. The inaiii principle of lhat Bill he would slate iu a few words: aud lo lhat principle he adhered: namely, to take away from paltry, insignificant, and rotten borimghs the privilege of returning members, as also- from those petty boroughs, Ihe members for which, a « they were under the liutnin- ulion of some great person, were nut the repre- sentatives of the people, but w ere the representatives of their masters ; and it was intended that the privileges which had thus been abused, should be transferred lo those places inhabited by large niasws of the population and by wealthy members of the community. These are tbe principles of the Bill, aud to these I am pledged: but as for Ihe minute details, let tlieiu go into Ihe Committee, to be sifted carefully and investigated closely. It hud been said thai the Reform Bill was a revolutionary oue. Could lhat be, when it was supported by so many of tbe most wealthy possessors of here- ditary privileges and Ihe great proprietors of vust domains banded down for so many generations ? Could that be when Ibe liusscls, ihe Cavendishes, and other heads of great aud most ancient houses were all united iu the support of Ihis great measure? In lhat very Court in which they now stood, a feeling was manifest on Ihe subject that might be taken as an epitome of tbe spirit that existed throughout tbe kingdom : uud iu this cotiuly the two greatest proprietors of laud gave Iheir support to the measure, as a measure calculated to strength, en the bond of union lliat existed between the higher and the luwer classes. Some people said Ibe constitution ought to be maintained inviolate, forgetting that the constitution was not foiriied at once, bul was a long chain of golden links reaching from . Magna Cliarla to the present hour. And sliuuld it be lhat they should not renovate and ulter il ? would they not repair it with British oak, well dove- tailed together, and so cemented by pub- lic feeling that it might continue the boast aud protection of many ages yet lo come. Some persons— prophets of evil they were— said this great country was going to decay: if he could perceive any such syniptoms, he should par. ticijiate iu their feelings: but if the proposal of a constitutional Reform was one of those symptom9* then he Would say lo those persons who are already iu imagination wpeping over Ihe dowufal of their country, that fie was confident of its continuing' fur many ages fo diffuse blessings on every side: and when, indeed, Ihe day did come, iu which this island should fall from its high and palmy slate— a fate that had occurred lo other great aud mighty empires— even then would i( s name be al all limes mentioned with esteem, and ever Would it be re- membered wilh admirafion ond gratitude by all whose boSoiriS we're actuated by attachment tb free institutions and genuine liberty. F K. l. EtGHtoN, Esq1, ( hen spoke as follows: — Mr. Mayor, and Geutletrien,— Mr. Jenkins having again presented hiiriself as a candidate for having the honour of being one of tbe representatives of ( his ancient borough, and my truly honourable and respectable friend, John Wingfield,- Esq. of Onslow, being unfortunately unable foil account of illness) to perform the same office which be did last year iu Ibis place upon a similar occasion, I beg lo propose Richard Jenkins, Esq. as an eligible person to fill the situation to which he aspires. No man lias ever been more explicit in declaring bis public senti- ments to the electors, and I venture lo say 110 man has ever more faithfully adhered to them. Tbe concise but comprehensive statement of bis opinions, delivered in this place last jeur, must be fresh in the recollection of numbers here present. His ideas, also, upon the Question which now agitates the whole kingdom have been laid before you in that fair and open manner, and with lhat nice dis- crimination,' thut no man Who does not wilfully do so can misunderstand his liberal but prudent notions of reform ; no 111' an can say of hint ( us it has been insinuated against some) that his disavowal of being au Anti Reformer is insincere, a incite shew of meeting the spirit of the limes, bearing, under Ibe mask of moderation, a' determination lo resist Par- liamentary Reform altogether. No,- Gentlemen, Mr. / enkiiiS lias cleai'ly marked the line to which he will give his Vote foi1 an advance,- uud beyond whteh he Will resist an encroachment. Compiire his Parliamentary CoudtYct' Upon this and1 Other Questions whicli haVe come uiidei1 deliberation during tbe two last Sessions wilh tile professions which he made when lie for the first time addressed you in this place; compare tlieni together, I say, and yoii will find no deviation from lhat straight- forward course of truth, which uniformly mark's his public! and private cbaiacfer. With Such a View of his qnalificati6hS t'd' iVp'r& s'cof you, 1 propose Mr. Jenkins" as one'of yoliV re- presentatives, being convinced Ibnf lie ttfill' ejteif his strenuous and honest1 eildeav'oius tfo Maintain, and, as far as he thinks safe altd j lisf, fo extend the rights aud privileges of the cothmoiialfy of this country as firmly, aS doiiSei'ehfiOtSSly,' and With as true a regard for their real interests as' fhdse who are prepared lo go at once fo greater lengths. JOHN BKC*, Est)', said that in' seddtitlin'g Coloriel Leighton's nomination of Mr. Jenkins, life heartily Coincided iii fftt sentiment's of esteem for Mr. Jenkins's private Character and approbation of his public con- duct, Whteh Colonel Leighton ball so handsomely and well'expressed. RICHARD JKNKIKS, Esq', tlieh addressed the assembly as follows:— Mr. Mayor, and GentlcmeiV, — In offering myself as a Candidate for your renewed favour and confidence 011 the present occasion, I con- sider it due to you and to myself lo lay before you- a brief account of my Parliamentary Conduct since yob did me the honour tii elect nie as one of your Repre- sentatives. Short, indeed, has been the time during Which f Have tilled that distinguished station, but Vastly important have been the concerns 011 which we have had to deliberate, though our Votes liaVc bCeir but few. The first' vote Is had to giVe waS ostensibly oil fhe CiVlf List', but really involving the existence of the late Ministry, fit resisting a'motion for a select committee on the plint'of tli'e civil lis'!, as proposed by his Majesty's Ministers, I am aware that I might appear to be abandoning the right and duly of enforcing; economy and retrenchment1 iii eVe'ry department of the State, lu I'ealit'y, hoWeVer, ? felt persuaded that any proper reduction could as well be effected iu the Committee of the whole House as iu the Select Committee,. as it waff pro- posed fo'be constituted. Moreover, relying, as I did,' oil the CcdnoMVcal principles- which hud distinguished tbe government of the Dote of Welliu& tou beyond any former administration, and really desirous of supporting his government' at so early a period of a ne'vv reign, and under tbe difficult' circumstances, both as to foreign and domestic affairs, ill Which the country was placed, f trust 1 acted properly,' I know 1 acted honestly, in the course I took. On the accession of the present ministry, I- felt sin- cercly disposed to support what 1 hoped to find' it strong as Willi as able Government, coming in as* it' did on the popular principles of peace abroad, and Retrenchment and Reform, both Financial and Par- liamentary, at home. 1 will not attempt to enter 1111 the two former points of their conduct, or offer any remarks 011 the financial plans introduced and aban- doned, which, to say the least, deeply disappointed the country. The only one upon which I was called upon to vote was the Timber Duties, and I divided against the ministers because I thought they were injuring our colonial and shipping interests in Ihe pursuit of the theoretical advantages of Free Trade. 1 will nol, however, withhold from them the just meed of praise fur their resolute endeavours to re- trench and economize, and for their judicious and successful efforts to put down the unfortunate dis- turbances in this country, and lo vindicate the authority of the law against the Great Agitator in Ireland. 1 now come lo the mighty queslion of Reform; and, Gentlemen, I have to express my regret that it should have fallen to my lot, in the first words I uttered in Parliament, to dissent from the opinions of a petition entrusted to me, iu conjunction wilh iny honourable friend and colleugue, IVom a public meeting of Ihe inhabitants of Shrew sbury, iu favour of lhat Bill for Reform. Gentlemen, I then said, and I now repeat, that 1 am not averse, or, lo speak more directly, thai 1 am sincerely disposed to a moderate und temperate Reform iu Parliament, but thai I do deprecate a sweeping measure like the late Bill, which goes to destroy, unjustly and without necessity, the rights and privileges of whole bodies of the people. My opinion ia, lhat the extension of the elective franchise to the great aud unrepresented towns, aud to certain of the respectable and educated classes of society both in towns aud couutics, who do not at present vote at elections, is desirable. I also think lhat some decayed and notoriously cor- rupt boroughs may be cautiously weeded, if tbey cannot be restored after due enquiry, by extending tbe franchise to unrepresented individuals in the boroughs themselves, or in neighbouring districts, or by any other means consistent with justice, und equally efficacious; that, ut any rate, stroug mea- sures are necessary to abate corruption, and to lessen the expense and trouble of elections, both to the electors aud the elected; and, gentlemen, I sincerely believe that these objects may be effected without any infringement upon existing rights. But, gentlemen, a plan professedly intended to reconstruct the elective system; blotting out ( because lliey do not possess 2000 inhabitants) sixty boroughs as members of tbe constitution, depriving 47 others of one member, because they have nol 40011, annihilating the electoral rights and privileges of 300,01) 0 freemen, iu all the cities and towns of the kingdom, if they do not occupy £ 10 houses; Ihe House of Commons 02 English members, the tilain props and supporters of our Protestant Consti- tution in Church and State, at a time when We more than ever require them. With such sentiments, I could not do otherwise than oppose such a bill gaining a permanent footing in tbe legislature, however 1 might approve of some parts of it, and although asa question of reform iirao reform, 1 Iilid not objected to its introduction, lb was carried fey ii majority of one, that we should , go into a committee ffpon it, but Proteus like it turned into . a bill dtiring Ihe Easter holidays, and, certainly Considerably amended in some points, though still re- { ainllig ( lie objectionable clauses of disfranchisement rind lessening ( he ifllhiber of English members. Then tame General Gascoyne's motion, that the English members should not be reduced, for which I voled, and which was carried by a majority of eight. This bill was now withdrawn, at which many of its warmest friends were surprised, as I did not con- template sncli a step as the result of my vote m favour of preserving llie Profestant ascendancy in the House of Commons. The dissolution followed: and now, Gentlemen, I will only add my confident hope, that you will enable nie, by your suffrages this day, to tell his Majesty's Ministers, that Shrewsbury will not abandon her station as one of Hie staunch sup- porters of monarchy under our glorious constitution in church and state as at present by law established, against specious theories and violent changes by whatever authority recommended ; at the same time, that we shall be grateful to ihem, or to any set of men, be they w- lio they may, who will give us such a practical and practicable reform as may remove acknowledged abuses and extend the elective fran- chise without violating those maxims of legislative justice which have ever distinguished Great Britain from other nations, and rendered us, under Providence, Ihe happiest and the most free people on. earth. On such principles, Gentlemen, 1 shall still be proud to serve you. Mr. JOHN WHITE, auctioneer, said— Mr, Mayor and brother Burgesses, in rising to introduce Richard Potter, Esq. of Broughton Hall, iu the County Palatine of Lancaster, to your notice, 1 must apologize for intruding myself on Ibis oeca- sioiV, bul tbe eminence of the gentleman will I trust make up for tbe humble manner in which he is in- troduced.— Mr. Potter, is a gentleman of great wealth'and conseq'ueiice in his own neighbourhood, and being a staunch advocate of the Reform Bill lately introduced by our noble King and his patriot StiuiSferS', is peculiarly fitted to represent this | auiifeiif and loyal borough. 1 therefore beg lo nominate Richal'd Potter, Esq. as a fit and proper person fo i'epfes6nt lis ill the Commons House of Parliament. Mr. W, POOL£ Scot/ for li, grocer, then rose and said— Mr. Mayor and Brother Burgesses, pardon me that I forget for a few mintffes tlie unimportant station 1 occupy among you,- while 1 slate the motives influencing me iu seconding the nomination of Mr. Potter to represent this boVO'fi'gli in Parlia- ment ; zeal for Ibe great cause of Reform in Parliament alone induces me lo request your in- dulgence. We are now embarked, in the naftre of Mr. Poller, aud, iu coujuction with him, 16 pl'Wenf this borough from being any longer a nonentity, a cypher in tbe representation of ihe people, which it has hitherto been in consequence of sending one member to support tbe cause of reform, retrench- ment, and economy ; and another who, on most important subjects, votes against him. The decision you come lo iu Ibis hall about six weeks ago, iu favour of reform, convinces nie that you will no longer submit to such a system, but by your votes at this election prove to the nation that the bur- gesses of Shrewsbury are determined to be actually represented in Parliament. Though we do not desire lo re- elect Mr. Jenkins, I am sure I speak all your sentiments, in expressing my own sincere respect for his private character, and my humble hut hearty wishes for bis happiness and prosperity either iu retiring to private life, or in devoting his superior abilities to the duties of an important public situation, for which he is, per- i Imps, more eminently qualified than that of a : Member of Parliament. ! The question now is, will youf piove yourselves Consistent hy returning to Parliament another advo- cate of those principles you admire aVid support- iu Mr. Slaney, to co- operate with him ill recovering- atid Restoring to the people those rights Ihey are deprived of by Ihe Borough oligarchy. Mr. Slaney has now, Wilh such eloquence anil convincing argument, sup ported arid defended the justice, ( he advantages, the necessity, and perfect safety of reform, as ( were it possible), to increase our esteem anil respect towards him : arid, by his constant defence of the rights, liberties', and interests of the people, lie is so endeared jiiiid' rinited to us that to dissolve that connection 1 would be, as it were, to sever the right arm from the ( Wiily. Il l may venture to give my humble opinion of reform, it is this,— it is a measure to restore the reality of OUT invaluable Constitution; we have iu theory King, Lords, and Commons, a system ad- mired by the world ; but chieffy, during the last century, a number of tbe Peers, or other opulen persons, have, by corruption or olher uncoil stitutional means, obtained the power to return a majority of the House of Commons; thus establish iug, by their influence in both houses, au oligarchy coutrouliug the king in the exercise of bis just prerogatives, and enslaving the people by depriv- ing ( hem of their just rights to be actually repre sented iu Parliament. From this system have followed expensive wars, undertaken to support the principle of despotism, and to overlhrovwliberty in olher nations; which have encumbered t| iis country with the load of debt, of difficulties, aijd taxation that has been for several years dim'lliisliiug Ibe properly of the middling classes, and depriving Ihe industrious of their just reward. The success of the great measure of eft'ec( ual reform is our only hope for the restoration of the prosperity of this country, by preventing a recurrence of unnecessary wars aud extravagant expenditure, uud by en- couraging the enterprise aud industry of the people in the certainty of enjoying a just share of the fruits of their labour. Mr. S proceeded to describe Mr Potter, as being that truly respectable character an eminent and British Merchant, who for many years bad been the consis- tent and zealous supporter of effectual, decided, yet temperate reform, not having identified himself with Ihe rash or violent in bis neighbourhood ; and as having obtained the almost universal approbation of the important town of Manchester and its vicinity, by exerting all the inttuence arising from his high char- acter and ample fortune to defend the liberties of tbe people, to further all improvements in their local government and institutions, to rectify abuses, to pro- tect and assist the humbler classes; and as being generous in public, and more so, in private charily, and concluded by seconding the noillination. GEORGE GILL, Esq. said, a severe domestic cala- mity ( the loss of a sister) had prevented Mr. Poller from personally appearing before tlieni on that occa- sion : and he claimed their indulgence in addressing Ihem 011 liis behalf. This was a time of great expec- tation, and truly had it been obs rved that Ibe assem- bly there present was an epitome of the kingdom at lhat moment. Mr. PoHer was well known in Man ches( cr and London as a zealous advocate of the rights of the people— not a mob advocate— but a zealous supporter of those rights and privileges whicli ought to be enjoyed by the intelligent and populous masses of Ihe community. Since the introduction of the Bill by His Majesty's Ministers, he had given it Borough : and again, there was the Lord Advocate of Scotland the member for another rotten Borough. A pretence had been set up that the Reform Bill at- tacked their rights ; that also was not true. The Bill did not attack their rights, but the rights of the Boroughmongers: Ihe bill secured the franchise to the present electors and to their children now born, and to all tbat were bound apprentice at this period. It was a bill to restore, not to deprive them of their rights. The gentleman had told them it was a revolution- ary measure: it was so, but not in the sense that hail been represented : it was a revolution in the rotten part of Ihe constitution, and was calculated to promote a more healthy circulation. His Majesty and his Ministers had sanctioned it; many of tbe greatest landholders too had supported it : aud it was not intended to destroy rights, but to grant them lo those who ought to have possessed llieril many years ago. His Majesty knew too well the feelings o'f the people of England : and ill proof of Ihis, he was going- to put himself in the hands of aud diue with the citizens of London; and he would find that he reigned not over, but 111 the hearts of, his people. The Hon. Gent, had told them lie was a friend ( o reform, but the reform he advocated was not Calcu- lated to improve their situation. The Hon. Gent, had said he conscientiously gave his aid to the sup porters of the bit and bit system1 of reform : but Ibe veil had been taken from that class, and they now sfood naked before the country. The other Hon. Gent, had told them he had voted for the dis- franchisement of three rotten boroughs, but in this lie had been opposed by the bit and bit reformers : although they might consistently have voted for the disfranchisement of these three boroughs.. The Hon. Gent, had said he did not wish to pre- vent Ihe Bill going into a Committee: but many others w ho voted had honestly and previously de- clared lhat the motion of General Gascoyne Was in- tended to defeat the measure. Look at the factious conduct of the parly in preventing- the Ordnance Estimates being brought forward. What support did they give to the King who had opposed him in the exercise of Ilia just prerogative? Mr. Potter had been a consistent Reformer: he was a Re- former when Reform was ill the shade— when the sun of royalty did not shine upon it— and when it was considered a disgrace to be a Reformer. He ( Mr. Gill) hoped Ihey would honour him by re- turning Mr Potter to Parliament. If they returned Mr. Potter, they would return a supporter of His Majesty's Ministers, a z alous Reformer, and one who would attend every day to their business. The Bur- gesses of Shrewsbury had solicited him to become their Representative, and if they returned him, they might depend upon his efforts in their cause. JOSEPHSUTTOH, Esq then said he rose to propose, as a Representative of Ibis Borough, Thomas Boy- cott, Esq. a man wthjse person and public principles were well known to them. They had had a good deal of talking, and he thought it was time to be doing something. He knew Mr. Boycott's principles well; and he felt assured that tbey were those of the great majority of the independent Electors of the Borough. THOMAS BAKER, Esq. approving the principles 011 which Mr. Boycott had now and previously stood forward in this Borough, begged leave to sicond his nomination. THOMAS BOYCOTT, Esq. said he was in hopes tbat there would have been no contest for the re- presentation of the borough 011 this occasion ; but when a Stranger, totally unknown to the borough or county,- bad been brought forward in opposition 10 a tnali well known to them, and whose public conduct and private character be respected, antl whose principles he admired, he felt it his duty to offer himself against him. Mr. Potter might be a most respectable man, but he was not more so than gentlemen much better known to the Burgesses of Shrewsbury. The gentle- man who appeared for him had, indeed, told them he Was a great reformer ill his county ; and was not that then the proper place, and were not the people there the proper persons to return him to Parliament? The Gentlemen of Shropshire are not Anti- Reformers; but Ihe present excitement about Parliamentary Reform was not from any regard to the principle of real reform, but was the work of party spirit, and therefore he ( Mr. B.) opposed its promoters. He was himself for Reform, but he was for a honest and just Reform, not for a sweeping measure which, under lhat pretence, was calculated lo injure whole bodies of the people, to destroy rights, take away privileges, and form a precedent for future acls, which might be of, if possible, still worse tendency. The supporters of the Reform Bill were now accusing their opponents of disloyalty ; which, look- ing at the political party, as a body, that were now the leaders of reform, was he thought rather a singular accusation from tbat quarter. Where was there a county more loyal— he might almost say where was there a county so loyal— as Shropshire Certainly there was none : and feeling that it was, if not an insult, at least no compliment to the gentle- men of tbe county, to see a stranger brought forward to represent this the capital borough in parliament, he had offered himself a candidate for the suffrages of its independent electors. and abstracting 63 members from tbe house of com- his utmost support: and his influence was greater mons, for 110 intelligible reason upon earth, 1 could not but shrink from as a most dangerous political experiment. Gentlemen, up lo this hour 1 have heard 110 argu- ments tbat carry conviction to niv mind in favour of the justice or the expediency of such a sacrifice of chartered and prescriptive rights, of exchanging the happy variety of our elective system for one uniform qualification of property, or of altogether severing the right of voting iu towns from those domestic and local associations of birth, marriage, and apprentice- ship, which attach men to their native home, and equally strong iu the peasant as in the I- ord, are amongst Ihe best foundations of tbat public virtue which it is wished to infuse into the elective body. Especially, gentlemen, I could not but protest against cutting oil', from their ancient and cherished rights of giving a Freeman's Vote for their Representatives in Parliament, uf those labouring classes, amongst whom, 1 w ill venture to say, are to be found hearts as honest and independent, and hands as pure, as amongst those classes ill favour of whom they are to be disfranchised; and, lastly, Gentlemen ( for there are many other serious objections to tbe Bill), 1 never could have consented ( o lopping off' liom among Ihe working classes of Lancashire than any other person. As lie ( Mr G.) had not tbe advantage of a prompter, he trusted lie should be excused for any inaccuracy of expression. It had too long been the fashion for representatives to choose their consti- tuents— not the constituents their representatives. He was happy to say the electors of this ancient borough were determined to vindicate their rights, and were going to choose members for'themselves. I he Hon Genb had ( old ( hem he voted against Sir Henry Parncll's motion becau- e the motion was altogether d irected against the Duke of Wellington's administration: yet lie had voted for General Gas- coyne's motion which was wholly directed against the present Ministry. He bad said the Bill was directed against the smaller boroughs, which formed such a beautiful variety ( us it had been expressed) in the system of repre sentalKU. He hud told them he supported the present system, because the smaller boroughs had been tbe support of the Protestant Constitution. That, however, was not Ihe fact, which lie would prove to tlieni: the boroughs which were intended to be taken away were not places worthy to have representatives. Look at Mr. Shiel the Irish Agitator, sitting the representative of an English The show of hands was then taken ; and the Mayor having declared it to be in favour of Mr Slaney and Mr. Potter, a poll was demanded 011 behalf respectively of Mr. Jenkinsaitd Mr. Boycott: and it was appointed to commence at two o'clock At that hour it commenced accordingly ; and after it bad continued about an hour and half, Ihe sup porters of Mr. Potter, finding they had 110 chance of success, announced to the other parties their intention of retiring from the contest, and made arrangements to that effect. Some hours after the close of tbe poll on Thurs- day evening, it was also stated, on the part of M Slaney, to the gentlemen who conducted the elec- tion for Mr. Jenkins, that they would undertake to close the poll 011 Mr. Slaney's behalf, in its pre- sent stage, if the friends of Mr. Jenkins would not proceed with the poll on the following morning aud that arrangement having been acceded to, the hustings were formally opened on Friday morning, as required by law : and the Mayor having taken bis place iu Court, Ihe requisite forms were gone through, preparatory to the final close of the pro- ceedings. The hour having elapsed, afler the pro- clamations, and 110 voter having appeared to poll i that time, the pull was closed, aud the numbers wer declared as follows:— For Mr. Slaney 178 For Mr. Jenkins 175 For Mr. Boycott 124 For Mr. Poller 103 The Mayor then declared lhat Mr. Slaney and Ml'. Jenkins were duly elected. Mr. Si. ANEY then said, he had now for the third time to return thanks for the high honour that had been conferred upon him in being- returned as tluir Repre. sentative in Parliament, where he would zealously exert himself iu maintaining their rights and promot- ing tbeir interests, and would fearlessly and firmly express those sentiments and support those measures which he believed would have a tendency to promote the good of the country. It would be unnecessary for him to repeat what lie had said before 011 the subject of his political princi- ples, but if heswerved from any profession lhat lie had made, for any selfish or unworthy object, then might tbey reject him from their confidence and refuse to him their further support. Tbe issue uf the polling on this occasion, and the trifling majority that appeared there on his behalf as compared with the numbers for his honourable col- league and friend were such as could not be consi- dered as of tbe slightest consequence in any light: so that he hoped with the close of ( he conlest all feeling 011 this occasion would cease : and that all parties would give to each other the right hand of fellowship, forgetting all animosities, and all hasty expressions ou every side. Having said this much on the circumstances fo • which he had alluded, he would now refer to another incident attending it, which was indicative of the feeling of at least a large body of voters in this town : and he would endeavour to express himself so as not to give offence. It was evident lhat there was throughout the country a strong feeling in favour of reform ; and that even among the friends of his honourable colleague himself lliere was a feeling in favour of reform. He would not enter into a con- sideration of the various points of that great measure : but all would admit there was something wanting, and he trusted tiiat all would unite in a conciliatory spirit to promote tbe efforts made to attain the object so anxiously sought. Indeed, when he considered what had taken place in this borough, and he pledged himself that he knew nothing of a third candidate being intended to be brought forward, and that, he had never asked aily persoii cither to give to or withhold a vote from him— and that yet 103 voters should hat e been polled for him on the first day, it did show how much feeling oil the subject of reform existed ih the town. Let not then the two great parties! 111 parliament remain opposed to each other: but let the moderate reformers, and ihose who perhaps would wish to go further than could be acceded to, endeavour to meet each othet; let them endeavour to unite and promote the welfare of the country in a spirit of harmony. He felt assured lhat if they would each divest themselves of that feeling which party spirit was calculated to foster, they might be enabled to set aside all apprehensions of danger to the estab- lished institutions of tbe kingdom, by joining iu Ihe modification of the measure to which all eyes were directed. Those who occasionally looked back, as he did, to the pages of times gone by, when relieved from the bustle of public business, would have seen in them passages showing how at various periods the tyranny either of monarcbs or of nobles prevailed, and how it had from time to time been resisted or predominant. The scenes there pourtrayed would, he trusted, be duly weighed, arid that the recurrence of such con- flicts would by wise concession and mutual but honourable compromise be prevented. These were the, feelings which he hoped would actuate his hon. colleague, arid that when they went back to their place in the senate, similar feelings would operate generally, so as to produce a plan for ameliorating the constitu- tion, and wliith should renovate it anil extend itsfinOst Valued privileges to classes now excluded. They should remember that although Some lliere were who advocated reform in warm and strong language, yet it waS Ihe same voice that had beCn exerted by our ancestors in the days of the Plan- tagenets, Ihe Tudors, and the Stuarts, and which had obtained for us successive confirmations and extensions of our liberty. He had to thank them for their kindness, afnd for the free votes that they had given to him on ( his occasion. He begged also to make his acknowledg- ments to some Who had been partially opposed to him, for their Courtesy on all occasions, who thereby evinced that although tliey differed and Con- scientiously differed, as neighbours aud friends in a free country would do, 011 some points Of opinion, yet they could do so Without entertaining feelings of personal hostility. And if ever he forgot the princi- ples that he had avowed, or failed ill tlieir support, then let the electors of Shrewsbury forget that ever he appeared before them to solicit their suffrages. It was now evident that a great diffusion of excited feeling existed throughout this great realm, yet lie trusted it would be subdued without any violent collision of parlies, and he thought it would : and he trusted lhat its termination would be such as to place the elective franchise in the possession ofthose who now felt themselves aggrieved by its being withheld from them. The result would, he hoped, be such as to maintain for many years to come the noble fabric of that Constitution which had for ages been preserved lo lliem, and Under Which this country had become the most noble and the Most glorious nation of the civilized world. Mr. JENKINS ( lien said— Mr. Mayor and Gentle- men,— It is with pride and gratitude that I again address you as one of your Representatives in Parlia- ment, placed again, as 1 am, in the honourable station conferred upon me by you nine months ago. View- ing it as a proof of your approbation of my past conduct, 1 will endeavour to deserve its continuance, by fearlessly pursuing the same course. Never will I betray your confidence by surrendering your just rights and privileges, any more than, 1 am assured, you would wish me to withhold from others their proper share in the right which you have just exer- cised of voting for representatives. What I object most to in the Bill introduced into the late Parliament is the proposal to disfranchise without proving the delinquency ; and I must ever object to such a proposal, because it would be a most daugerous precedent in legislation, and might introduce princi- ples which would eventually tend to ( he destruction of all light and the violation of every bond by whicli society was held together. At Ihe same time, I will sincerely and zealously labour, with my honourable friend and colleague, for a Reform to any extent which I can conscientiously believe to be for the public good ; and*! feel confident that such a Reform will be obtained if we are true to ourselves and to our posterity, which demands us to be steady and inflexible in preserving the great principles of our happy Constitution in Church and State inviolate and inviolable. In other respects, I repeat the pledges I originally gave lo you when 1 offered mvself nine monllis ago to serve you, to pay strict attention to my Parliamentary Duties, to watch over the public expenditure,- and promote eVefy reduction in it and in taxation consistent with the maintenance of public faith and credit and the efficiency of our public establishments. Gentlemen, once more I thank you, and more especially my warm and zealous friends, for their exertions in my favour; and I trust they will, with me, ever look back with pride and satis faction on the issue of yesterday's contest. The return having been signed, the Court, was closcd by the usual proclamation ; and " God save ihe King" having, at the request of Mr, Jenkins, been sung in full chorus, the assembly separated, and the proceedings of the election terminated. SUSSEX.— The following declaration is now in circulation, receiving the signatures of the most respectable and influential gentlemen throughout the counly of Sussex :—" A County Meeting having been held at Lrwes for tbe purpose of petitioning the legislature in favonr of the Reform Bill, late in pro- gress through tlic House of Commons, We feel it to je a duty which we owe to our fellow countrymen, to declare ourselves dissentient from the prayer of ( hat petition. We are of opinion that our political institutions Might with safety undergo such a revision : 1s would adapt them more effectually to the change which tinte and circumstances may have made in some of the great interests of the country ; and it is to a calm, temperate, and gradual endeavour on the part of the legislature to effect this object, that We confidently look for the strengthening of those bonds Of union between all classes of persons in the country, Which have hitherto been its best protection. On the other hand, we view with feelings of anxiety and alarm, the ill- digested and wide- sweeping measure of reform that has heen proposed, because it appears to u's to test Upon the visionary hope of removing ano- malies and curing defects, by the substitution of new and fanciful theories. We feel that such extensive experiments involve the risk of much immediate con- fusion, and of eventually endangering the foundations of the constitution, which, with all its imperfections, we will boldly affirm, has secured to Englishmen a greater share of national prosperity than has ever fallen to the lot of any other country, ancient or modern, of which any record has been transmitted to us. History iiiforms Us, and events daily passing before our eyes on the continent of Europe and elsewhere, confirm the fact, that sweeping reforms forced upon fhe country With inconsiderate haste, have ever been productive of disastrous results. Thus warned, We declare that We will not assist in the gratititoiis work of demolishing, however willing we may be to fepair, oi system which has grown with our growth, and strengthened with our strength— which Has iri siges past cradled our infant liberties— still protects their full- grown maturity— and which we fondly hope, under the blessing of Divine Providence, we may hand down to a grateful posterity unimpaired by any rash attempts at reckless innovation." ANfc IEST COINS.— A short lime ago, a rare and unpublished coin of Richard HI. was found near the Cathedral of Armagh. On the obverse is ( he King's head crowned ; on the right side of his neck is a small rose, on the left a star, and round it the inscription, '< Ricardus Rex Anglie Uns Hyb." On the reverse is a cross* extending to the edge of the coin, with a rose iu the centre, and two circles— in the outer is the Usual inscription, " Posui Deum& c. and the inner contains the name of the place of mintage, " Villa Drogheda." Simon, in his essay on Irish coins, does not give an engraving of this coin : but ill the appen- dix is published an aCt of the 1st Richard III. 1483, Which orders a mintage according to the print there described, which cannot be read. It is very likely that Ihis is a groat of his first mintage ; those of his second, with the three crowns, published by Simon, arecommon. Snellirtg, in his supplement to Simon's work, gives an engraving of a penny of the Drogheda Mint,- but makes 110 mention of the groat. It is pro- bable tbat neither Simon nor Snelling ever saw this rare coin. A groat of Henry VII. inscribed, " Henric Septim" was also lately found in the neighbourhood of Armagh ; his groats with the Roman and Arabic numerals are frequently found, but this one with " Septimus" is so rare, that a specimen, said to be unique, was lately sold at an auction of coins in Ihc Strand, Ijundon, for £ 10. 5s. The above coins are now in the collection of Mr. Corry, Armagh.— Neury Telegraph1 BANKIUIPTS, APRII. 19.— James AUwright, of Strand, cheesemonger.
