WILLIS takes this opportunity of returning his best thanks for the highly- distinguished patronage he has received during his residence in St. James's- street, where, having been much circumscribed in accommodation for Pianofortes, he has been induced to remove to more commodious premises, as above, which he is about to open with a splendid assortment of instruments of every description, by all the approved makers, and where purchasers will have tne advantage of contrasting the relative merits of each, and obtaining them at Manufacturers' Prices for immediate payment.— J. W. particularly invites the attention of the Public to a most ingenious invention ( for which a patent has just been obtained), called the TRANSPOSING PIANOFORTE ; in which, by very simple me- chanism, the pitch can be raised or lowered five semitones at pleasure. An extensive MUSICAL CIRCULATING LIBRARY, to which every novelty of merit is regularly added. All the works of Mrs. Hemans and Sister are published by J. WILLIS, in- cludingtheir last admired composition, A CHRISTMAS CAROL, for twoSoprano Voices, which is now ready for delivery. ARENTS and CHILDREN are equally interested in the EDUCATION and style of living at School. Few are qualified to teach and train boys— both require rare talents. The Advertiser, who is a CLERGY- MAN near London, has so well taught and trained his own, that all have turned out well. And out of the many he has educated, only one or two have turned out ill. If the rapid and correct acquisition of the Ancient and Modern Languages, Mathematics, Geography, Maping, Algebra, History, Composition, & c., are of any importance, he will guarantee high attainments in any, or in all these, in one- half the time generally required. Separate beds, meals with the principals, in- digencies as at home— tea, no flagellation, & c.— have for'years rendered thi « a desirable School for boys of talent, pets, and the weakly, backward, < fec.— Address, for particulars and references, A.

The Fifth Edition. By CHARLES LAMB. These Tales are meant to be submitted to the young reader as an introduction to the study of Shakspeare, for which purpose his words are used whenever it seemed possible to bring them in ; and in whatever has been added to give them the regular form of a connected story, diligent care has been taken to select such words'as might least interrupt the effect of the beautiful English tongue in which he wrote; therefore words introduced into our language since his time have been as far as possible avoided.

The child or parent who reads the little history of Elizabeth Villiers will, in spite of any resolution to the contrary, be touched to the heart, if not melted into tears.. Morose and crabbed censors as we are represented to be, we close the volume, wishing there had been another, and lamenting that we had got to the end."— » Critical Review.

This edition is likewise so considerably enlarged as to contain above , ii . i _ . c . >- , r, : . — double the quantity of the ordinary cookery books. It is, in short, an encyclopaedia of the art, equally adapted for small and large families, and all housekeepers and professors. The price is 12s. 6d. bound, a | very low one considering_ the great quantity of varied information contained in its closely printed pages. IMPROVEMENT OF PERSONAL BEAUTY.— The benign yet powerful propci tics of Rowland's Kalydor stands pre- eminent; it thoroughly exterminates eruptions, tan, pimples, redness, and all cutaneous imperfections, immediately allays the smartiug irritability of the skin caused by exposure to cold winds or damp atmosphere, arrays the neck, hands, and arms in matchless whiteness, and bestows on the complexion a juvenile bloom; to mothers nursing their offspring it is essentially serviceable in reducing inflammation. Gentlemen, after shaving, will find it allay the smarting irritability of the face, and render the skin smooth and pleasant. Warranted perfectly j innocent. Sold by the proprietors,— A. Rowland and Son, 20, Hatton- garden, London;— and by every respectable Perfumer and Medicine Vender in town and country. SOCIETY OF BRITISH MUSICIANS.— The fourth concert of this Society took place on Monday last. It opened, with a very clever ( MS.) sinfonia by W. S. Bennett; the first movement was very spirited, and the adagio had some sweet passages in it, but the sym- phony was altogether too lOng. Mr. Leoni Lee sang a pleasing ballad, by S. Nelson: it was encored. The scena, by L. Sala- man, was well instrumented, but the vocal part was not so happy. The concerto, horn, played by Mr. Catchpole, is a composition of much merit. Barnett's scena from the Mountain Sylph, was well sung by Mr. Atkins. Mr. Walmisley's glee is a pleasing production. The first act concluded with an excellent overture bv Lucas. The second act commenced with a good overture by J. H. Gries- bach ; then followed a ballad by a Mr. Purday, whom we never heard of as a composer— it was encored: the poetry was something between the sublime and the ridiculous, and the music dull, stale ( but pro- bably not to the music- seller) unprofitable: had not the composer's injudicious friends demanded a repetition, in spite of hisses and " no more," the ballad might have passed off well, for it was delightfully sung by Miss Bruce. We, m a former critique, remarked tha't ballads should not be introduced at these concerts; but after hearing Mr. Parry's, we altered our opinion, because tliey not only pleased the audience generally, but they were characteristic. It would be difficult to find what style Mr. Purday's was— the first bar indi- cated Scotch, but the next was common- place English. Mr. Calkin's quartet is a charming and well- written composition; it was beauti- fully executed by Mori, A. Greisbach, Watkins, and Lindley. The recitative and air, by G. H. Rodwell, is a pleasing dramatic com- position, from the The Lord of the Isle. Mr. Clifton's glee is a sweet and rich piece of harmony; it was very well sung by Miss M. Hawes, Messrs. Barnett, Hobbs and Bellamy. The recitative and air from Belshazzar's least, by G. Perry, " is a clever composi- tion. The concert concluded with an excellent overture by G. A. Macfarren. THE REVENUE.— The official tables of the Revenue for the quarter as also for the year ending on the 5th inst. have been published. As compared with the preceding financial year, that just concluded shows an increase of income to the amount of 107,0311., but a falling I off, upon a contrast of the two corresponding quarters, of a sum of 297,9641. The Customs and Stamps alone display any improvement npon the whole year, all the other sources of public income a defal- cation upon both the periods. Under the head of customs the dis- similarity of amount from that received during the year ended J anuary 3834, appears enormous, being little short ot two* millions, while the defalcation in the Excise receipts, upon a comparison of the same periods, is also striking. But this difference is one of form more than substance, and arises from the new arrangement of accounting nnder one head for duties which used to be credited under another. The apparent advantage in the last year over the preceding one in the Customs is 1,989,7071., and upon the quarter 714,4341.; • whilst the defalcation in the Excise is for the two periods— upon the one 1,6744^ 071., and 780,2931., respectively. The Stamp duties have proved more productive upon the year by 83,5481., but fallen offapon the quarter to the amount of 19,6501. The Assessed Taxes already show a falling off upon the year and quarter, the first to the amount of341,4441., and the latter to 175,5811. The returns for the Post Office prove deficient on the year in the sum of 25,0001., and ought npon the quarter to show a deficit of 19001., though such a result does not appear upon the tables, which is a slight error. Certainly, upon a comparison of the receipts of the quarter ending January f>, 1834, and January 5,1835, 324,0001. and 323,0001. respectively, the 10001. difference ought to have been carried to the account of decrease of the quarter. The accounts, however, are necessarily made up in haste at the latest moment, and therefore allowance must be made for them. The " miscellaneous" have increased upon the year to the amount of 11,4011., but fallen off in an inconsiderable amount on the quarter. There is in this quarter a trifling increase in the charges upon the Consolidated Fund. The sum wanted for the service of the quarter, to be raised by Exchequer Bills, is estimated at 5,304,8091. The most frighfful havoc has been committed by the plagne in its Jafe " invasion" of the Turkish capital; 110 fewer than 70,000 persons lad been » wept off by the scourge! ELECTIONS.

CITY OF LONDON.—' The City was on Tuesday in a state of the highest excitement, far exceeding that which prevailed at the last election. This, in a great degree, was attributable to the extraordi- nary exertions of the Destructive party, who repaired to all quarters of tfie City, and left 110 means untried, sparing neither entreaty, me- nace , nor argument to induce the electors to vote for the " thick- and- thin" opponents of the present Ministry. At the first a slight majo- rity was obtained by the Reform party," and this, by many, was con- sidered as having materially tended to their advantage during the subsequent part of the day. The result of the first day's poll was as follows:— Lyall Ward Wilson 3,689 3,665 3,553 Wood .. .. 4,924 Pattison .. .. 4,635 Crawford !.. .. 4,633 Grote .. .. 4,605 At the close of the poll the candidates each addressed the electors for a few moments, thanking them for their support, and requesting them to continue it on the following day. On Wednesday it was evident that the interest in these proceedings had greatly declined, but the Reformers were not the less active on that account. The extraordinary exertions which they made were referred to by Mr. Crawford as unexampled. The householders yielded to their influence, and this, with a combination of other cir- cumstances unfavourable to the Conservative cause, secured a tri- umph to the Reform party. The falling off in the support given to Mr. Grote, who at the last election had 8,000 votes, and the nume- rous signatures to the City Address, were not forgotten in the dis- cussions which took place in various quarters. The numbers at the close of the poll were— Wood .. .. 6,530 Lyall .. .. 4,668 Pattison .. .. 6,141 " Ward .. .. 4,611 Crawford .. .. 6,112 Wilson .. .. 4,457 Grote .. .. 6,104 At four o'clock the candidates appeared on the platform, but a very- few words were addressed to the assembled crowd by Messrs. Wood, Grote, Crawford, and Pattison. They merely returned their thanks to the electors for their support, and congratulated them on the tri- umph of Reform. During the address of the Conservative candidates there was a disgraceful scene of confusion and uproar, which the' Sheriffs in vain endeavoured to repress. Thursday Mr. Sheriff Illidge announced the numbers at the close of he poll to be as follow :- Wood Pattison Crawford Grote 6,418 6,050 5,961 5,955 Lyall Ward Wilson 4,599 4,559 4,414 Majority for the Reformers, taking the highest candidates, 1819. The Sheriff then declared the four Members duly returned to be Messrs. Wood, Grote, Crawford, and Pattison. We learn from Vienna that a general insurrection against the Porte had exploded in Albania. Tafil Bonzi, at the head of six thousand men, had seized on the fortress of Berat; and the insurgents of the Torki tribe had become masters of Tepelen and Straguro- Castro: from both places the Turkish authorities had been expelled. One corps of the insurgents was marching on Janina, and a second on Bitaglia: ruin and devastation marked their progress. The Albanians had organised a legislative assembly, and had bound themselves by oath not to lay down their arms till they should have achieved their national independence. The Times of Tuesday has the following paragraph on the subject of the Dutch and Belgian question:— Baron ZUYLEN Van NYEVELT, who was the King of HOLLAND'S Special Minister at the Conferences in the year 1832, is expected from Holland in a few days. Apartments have been engaged for him at BATTS' Hotel, Dover street. It does not appear to be known whether M. VAN NYEVELT comes to this country on a political mis- sion or not, but the fact of this appointment gave rise to the rumours current a few days back, that some overtures were about to be made to the present Administration by the King of HOLLAND for the settlement of the remaining differences with Belgium, for which the Dutch Government is believed at length to evince a most sincere desire. The gradual improvement of the Dutch Funds which has now been in progress for some weeks is also, without doubt, connected, with this subject. It is thought by those who are capable of forming a correct judgment of the matter that great deference would be paid to any opinion expressed by the Duke of WELLINGTON on the subject, and that not many more protocols are to be anticipated. — Baron Van NYEVELT arrived at Batts' Hotel on Thursday. The venerable Earl of ELDON distributed 70 score of excellent beef among the poor families at Kingston, Dorset, during Christmas, independent of from 80 to 100 weight every week, for the purpose of making soup. His Lordship's liberality still extended further, by the distribution of a large quantity of coals. The Salisbury Herald says:— The lovers of Private Theatricals had a rich treat on Wednesday last, at Bath, when a numerous party of distinguished fashionables, to the number of 200, assembled at the house of T. SHEW, Esq., of Grosvernor- place. The pieces selected were— the highly comic musical farce of The Prize, and the burlesque tragic opera of Bom- bastes Furioso. The parts in the first piece were cast as follows:— Lenitive, T. Shew, Esq ; Label, H. Daubeney, Esq.; Caddy, Major Grafton; Heartwell, P. C. Edwards ; Juba, Master E. Rowlett; Servant, Master A. Rowlett; Caroline, a young lady ( her first appearance) ; Mrs. Caddy, a young lady ( her first appearance.)— The characters were sustained with great spirit and correct- ness. The extravaganza was cast as follows : — King Artex- ominous, II. Daubeney Esq. ; Fusbos, T. Shew, Esq. ; Gene- ral Bombastes, Master E. Rowlett ; Army, Attendants SFC., the Master Rowletts ; Distaffina, a young lady ( herfirst appearance in that character).— We shall not readily forget the explosion of laughter which followed the appearance of the " young lady " who made " her first appearance" in the character of Distaffina, and who turned out to be Major Grafton; she was inimitably dressed, and her glossy ringlets and cap were adjusted in the most judicious man- ner possible, to suit a complexion and a set of features not exactly corresponding with perfect feminine delicacy. Throughout these representations there were, undeniably, many mishaps and etourde- ries— but so far from interfering with the amusement of the evening, they even heightened it, and tended to keep the company perpetually in mind, that they were indebted for it to the exertions of amateurs, whose sole object was to contribute to their gratification. FILIAL AFFECTION.— A young man in a market town in Craven,, upon receiving three letters by post successively, apprising him of the death of his father, brother, and mother, by the cholera, exclaimed " Why, this is a bonny job; this is the third letter this week, it cost me 7d., and7d. is yane and2d.; and 7d. is yane and 9d.; but yane's faather and mother doesn't dee every day." Since the great contest for Middlesex many years ago, when Sir FRANCIS BURDETT opposed Mr. MAINWARING, there never was so great and so indefatigable a canvass in every part of the county as there is at present. Bv a vote of the St. Pancras Destructives, the beadles have been dismissed from attendance on divine service at the Church and different parochial Chapels in that parish. January 11. j o h n b u l l.

The Edinburgh Evening Post, says:— It is stated in some of the Whig circles that it was not long ago agreed between three Honour- able Baronets that the representation of a certain Scottish midland county should be filled in each successive Parliament by themselves or their nominees in rotation. Can Sir JAMES GIBSON CRAIG, Sir THOMAS DICK LAUDER, and Sir JOHN DALRYMPLE, inform us whether they ever heard of such a compact ? Some of the Greenwich fair ones, by way of consoling the unsuc cesful candidate for that borough, have given him the tender designation of " the Lilly of the valley." Sir WILLIAM HORNE, in returing from the Marylebone nomination on Tuesday, was attacked in the most insulting manner by some of the mob, who endeavoured to trip up the Learned Gentleman, and brutally assaulted those gentlemen who endeavoured to protect him, the coats of several of whom were torn from their backs. The cowardly and ruffianly mob, heated by the demagogues who are endeavouring to domineer over the rights of the electors, dogged Sir WILLIAM home, and renewed all those scenes which the Reform Bill was to have annihilated. On Wednesday the conduct of the mob was again most disgraceful. A number of fellows throughout the day surrounded the house of Sir WILLIAM HORNE'S agent, Mr. HIBBLE, who was known to be from home— abused his wife, and ex- ercised their liberal feelings by occasional showers of mud. Several attempts were made during the day to intimidate the voters, but the salutary attendance of the police at the polling booths was a check to these advocates of free election. There was a numerous attendance on Wednesday of parties inte- rested in the trade to China at the Commercial Sale Rooms, Mincing- lane, to proceed with an extensive sale of teas imported direct from Canton under the new trade system. The sale commenced on Tuesday, and was the largest that has taken place since the new system came into operation. The teas declared for sale were as follow:— Of congou 9,053 chests; bohea 3,478 chests; hyson 1,229 chests; hyson skin 258 chests; pekoe 760 chests ; twankay 419 chests; and of caper souchong and gunpowder teas 514 chests; total, 15,711 chests. It was asked by Mr. ANTROBUS during the sale, whether a chop of 198 chests had been passed as twankay, by the Government inspector? Mr. MOUL, to whose management the teas in the present declaration were consigned, said that the teas had been passed as twankay. Several gentlemen, well acquainted with the quality of teas, gave it as their belief that such teas passed as twan- kay, and subject to the high duty, were only discoloured boheass par- taking entirely of the flavour of bohea. No bidding above Is. per lb. was offered for these teas, and they were bought in. The teas purchased averaged the following prices :— Boheas Is. 4| d. to Is. lOd. per lb.; congous Is. 6d. to 2s. per lb.; and hysons from 2s. 7d. to 3s. lid. per lb.; pekoes fetched from 2s. ll| d. to 3s. per lb. It was considered that the averages were nearly equal to those realised at the last sale of the East India Company, the conditions and charges being considered. The next sales of importance are advertised to take place at Liverpool, and begin the middle of next week. The total number of chests declared is 8,126 chests, consisting of bohea, congou, soucho'ng, pekoe, twankay, hyson, and gunpowder teas. We learn by advices from Bengal, that the plague had broken out with fearful violence at Bagdad. When every shopkeeper had a sign hanging out before his door, a dealer in snuff and tobacco, on Fish- street- hill, carried on a large trade, especially in tobacco; for his shop was ' much frequented by sailors from the ships in the river. In the course of time a person of • the name of FA RR opened a shop nearly opposite, and hung out his sign, inscribed " The best tobacco by Farr." This, like the shoe- maker's inscription,< c Adam Strong Shoemaker," attracted the atten- tion of the sailors, who left the old shop to buy " the best tobacco bv far." The old shopkeeper, observing that his opponent obtained much custom by his sign, had a new one put up at his door, inscribed " Far better tobacco than the best tobacco by Farr." This had its effect— his trade returned, and finally his opponent was obliged to give up business. There is at present in Chelsea a veteran named ROSEWORTHY, formerly in a dragoon regiment, who has attained the age of 105 . years, and being one of the most hearty and active men on the staff of that establishment, seems likely still to prolong a green old age. Further accounts had been received at Calcutta on the 10th of - August of the defeat of SHAH SHOOJAH, in Cabul, by DOST JUAHOMMED, from whom he sought to recover his Crown. The engagement is said to have been a most sanguinary one, and the loss of the day was ascribed to DOST MAHOMMED having attacked SHAH SHOOJAH while the latter was engaged in assaulting the city of Kandaliiir, by which the latter was placed between two fires. DOST MAHOMMED had written to RUNJEET SINGH that if he overcame the SHAH he would certainly assent to the capture of Peshawur by the troops of the RAJAH. The latter in the meantime was engaged in winning over the Chiefs of Peshawur, with a view not only to retain that conquest but for further aggrandizement. O'CONNELI/ S Assassination Warning has not been lost upon the persons to whom it was addressed. It will be seen by the following revolting detail that the bloody tragedy has already commenced :— DUBLIN, J an. 5.— An account reached town this morning announc- ing the murder of Mr. FOOTE, yesterday, within sight of his own dwelling at Rossbercon, on the Kilkenny side of New Ross, which is in the countv of Wexford. It may be recollected that about this time twelve months this unfortunate gentleinan, who had reached his 72d year, was waylaid and fired at in the same place. He was then so severely wounded that his life had been for some weeks despaired of, and he had but recently fully recovered from the effects of the injuries then inflicted upon him. It is stated that as he was passing through a small lane, immediately adjacent to his own house, about three o'clock yesterday afternoon, he was attacked by some ruffians, who murdered him in _ the most brutal manner. His brains were literally beaten out with stones. His lifeless and mutilated body was quite cold when it was discovered by his servants. At the time of the murder four of Mr. FOOTE'S labourers were working in a field a short distance from the scene of slaughter. The town of New Ross is merely divided from the village of Rossbercon by a river. The tragical event had excited great con- sternation in the entire neighbourhood. When the post left last night five persons were in custody charged on suspicion. Mr. FOOTE was a member of the Irish Bar, but had not practised for many years. He was brother of the late LUNDY FOOTE, the principal of the well- known firm of snuff manufacturers of that name m this city. On the occasion of the previous attack on the life of this ill- fated gentle- man, the outrage was ascribed to a conspiracy against him connected with land- letting. BOTANY: GEOGRAPHY.

BURGESS'S ESSENCE OF ANCHOVTES. , Warehouse, 107, Strand, corner of the Savoy- steps, London, JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of tlie numerous endeavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their make, feel it incumbent upon them to request the attention of the Public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the Original, to observe the Name and Address correspond6 with the above. The general appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the unguarded, and for their detection, J.

In rheumatism and chronic complaints it has performed the most extraordinaiy cures, when used with perseverance. Dr. James's Powder continues to be prepared by Messrs. Newbery, from the only copy of the process left by Dr. James in his own hand- writing, which was deposited with their grandfather in 1746, as joint proprietor. — In packets, 2s. 9d. and 24s.

Dr. James's Analeptic Pills are prepared by Messrs. Newbery, from the only recipe existing under Dr. James's hand, and are sold by them in boxes at 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., and 24s., at 45, St. Paul's Church- yard; J.

THEIR MAJESTIES continue at Brighton, in the full enjoyment of health. THE metropolitan elections are ended— and ended in a manner which most completely justifies all the opposition which they met with from numbers of men, favourable to many other provisions of the Reform Bill. As Messrs. WAKLEY, DUNCOMBE, LUSHINGTON, CLAY, and BULWER make no secret of their views, opinions, and intentions, their candour may render their practical exertions in the cause innocuous. The returns from the country are most satisfactory. We lave elsewhere given a list of Conservative Members already returned, who were not in the last Parliament, and taking the English returns generally, we are enabled to state, that the Conservatives have a majority over the Destructives. Consi- dering this majority to be derived from Borough elections, in • which the Destructives expected to be triumphautly victorious, the people have every reason to be gratified. As for Ireland and Scotland, it is impossible yet to ascertain, with any pre- cision, the probable results of the contests. We incline to believe, from what we hear, that the O'CONXELL influence is decidedly on the decline, and that powerful exertions are making all over the country to rescue its destinies from the grasp of the agitators. TO- MORROW, at Brentford, the nomination for Middlesex takes place. The electors in the interest of Mr. WOOD will muster at nine o'clock at Turnham- green, and a splendid array we expect. We have never seen a more cheering prospect of the release of a great, wealthy, and influential county from the thraldom of quackery and Radicalism than now opens to view. Mr. HUME'S adherents are aware of their sorry plight, and, as we have been told, have proposed to coalesce with Mr. BYNG, a proposition which, we alsc hear, has been most indignantly rejected. The private character and personal qualifications of Mr. WOOD are unexceptionable. His grandfather ( we believe) has represented the county for which he now comes forward, and his estates and station are, like those of Mr. BYNG, guarantees for the interest he will naturally take in the wel- fare of the community in which he was born and has been bred. Mr. HUME, by his restless activity, and fidgetty am- bition to get rich and respectable beyond the means even of matrimony, or the grace of Greek Loans, has blundered him- self into a very unenviable sort of notoriety, and particularly unenviable as regards his claims upon county representation. He might physic the electors, or dissect their brothers— he might buy buffaloes cheap and sell them dear ( if humpy bul- locks flourished in Middlesex)— he might, in short, do a thousand things for his own advantage and amusement, but what upon earth can he do for Middlesex ? Even the carpenters' bills for building his booths, he refuses to pay at the rate they demand. He will not be at a farthing expense for Bibles or Prayer books, because he says he shail require nobody to swear— and above all, he is so exclusively absolute, that as to canvassing the electors personally, he would not do it to save his seat. Mr. BYNG'S illness and age are great disadvantages to him in this contest; but it is not true that any coalition has taken place between him and Mr. WOOD. Mr. WOOD stands upon the purest principles, and perfectly independent of all party faction— l. e is, in every sense of the word, a GENTLEMAN and a CONSERVATIVE. Mr. BYNG is a GENTLEMAN and a WHIG. Mr. HUME is neither WHIG nor CONSERVATIVE. Let Middlesex take its choice. THE election for the Southern Division of Essex com mences to- morrow— and we are glad to know that the highest enthusiasm exists in favour of Mr. DARE and Mr. BRAM- STON. The people of Essex, proverbially loyal, naturally feel encouraged in their Constitutional efforts by the triumphant • success of the Conservative cause in their part of the country. Colchester has returned two Conservatives— Norwich two Conservatives— Yarmouth two Conservatives— Ipswich two Conservatives— and Harwich two Conservatives. Sure we are, that the county of Essex will, in both its divisions, maintain gallantly and successfully the victories achieved in Norfolk and Suffolk— that DARE, BRAMSTON, TYRELL, and BARING will be the men of their choice. The Essex Standard of yesterday says:— " A Mr. BRANFIL, or rather the party in whose hands he is an unconscious tool, sticks his name on a placard as the inventor and sole proprietor of the ' Repeal of the Malt Taxas if the patent for repealing it belonged to him alone.— Of all the impudent quacke- ries to catch the ignorant this is the greatest.— Mr. DARE and Mr. BRAMSTON are equally zealous in their desire to obtain this relief for the farmer; and enjoying this advantage over their oppo- nent's party, that with them the desire arises from their long con- nexion with, and dependence on, the prosperity ot agriculture, and from a mature conviction that unless some such relief be afforded, they and their tenantry must sink together:— whereas with Mr. BRANFIL'S party it is quite a new- born idea, adopted only since the period the Whigs left office. It will not be forgotten, that whilst in office they opposed every attempt to ameliorate the condition of the agriculturists, even denying them a surplus income, which was to be frittered away on currants, starch, aud short- tailed dogs! \ V ith regard to the North it is whispered, to such as are gulls enough to receive it, that Mr. D. W. HARVEY, the Hon. Member for South- wark, is to be put in nomination. It is to us of little moment whether lie be or not, excepting that we think any such outrage on the feel- ings of the yeomanry would give an additional stimulus to our cause, and secure; if possible, a more triumphant result than even we had anticipated." CONSIDERABLE surprise having been expressed, not only in private circles, but in some of the daily and evening Papers, at the extraordinary course which the Bristol election has taken, we feel it due to the well- known character of Mr. BAILLIE, the late Member for that city, to declare, in the most positive and distinct terms, that he was himself no party whatever to the coalition entered into with Sir JOHN HOB- HOUSE by his friends, on the spot; and by which he lost his return. Mr. BAILLIE was hindered, by circumstances of a domestic nature, from visiting Bristol. He first heard of Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE as a candidate in opposition to him on Sunday or Monday, and before he could possibly communicate with his committee they had considered it expedient ( without con- sulting him) to coalesce with the Right Hon. Member for Nottingham; that Right lion. Barouet having, in the most complimentary tiwmner to his Nottingham supporters, pledged himself to sit for Bristol if he were elected. Under these \ mlooked- for circumstances, the Conservative Party saw the necessity of securing the two seats— one of which Ml-. BAILLIE'S Committee had virtually relinquished by the coalition; and MI'. MILES came forward, who, with Sir RICHARD VYVYAN, was triumphantly returned. At this we unfeignedly rejoice; but our particular object in dilating upon the subject here, is to exonerate ( from our own personal knowledge) Mr. BAILLIE from any connexion with, or par- ticipation in, the strange proceeding. OUR readers will find, in our next page, a sort of running commentary upon the statements and predictions of the Morning Chronicle, as to election matters— not in the shape of any facetious annotations or cutting sarcasms— but in the form of plain facts, and the details of the results of the dif- ferent polls and returns, not exactly according with their presentiments, founded upon accurate knowledge and valuable information. Here, having before stated that the Conserva- tive party have already returned AN ACTUAL MAJORITY, we beg to subjoin a list of fifty- five Conservatives already returned to this Parliament, who had not seats in the last House of Commons :— Mr!

A NEW SONG TO AN OLD TUNE: Being a full, true, and particular Account of a certain " tight little Administration" that was lost in a Fog off the coast of Brighton, on Friday the 14th day of November, 1834, and has never been heard of since. AIR—" The tight little Island_" Dandy MELBOURNE, one day, Said to sage Gaffer GREY, " We must now hold a grand consul- tation— " Since SPENCER'S ' gone dead,' " We shall want a new Head " To conduct: the affairs of the nation; " For now he's got this elevation, " ALTHORP can't keep his old situ- ation, " And where's the three- decker " Can take the Exchequer, " In our tight little Adminis- tration ? " As for DURHAM, you know, " He's been down to Glas- gow, " And made an infernal o- ration, " Calling all of us ' fools,' " And ' rogues,' ani ' BROUGHAM'S tools,' (" To that Peer's no small inorti- fication ;) " And since that great Illumin- ation " Of the Law, meets such vituper- ation " From your son- in- law; he, " As your Lordship must see, " Can't be one of our Adminis- tration. " EDWARD LITTLETON, too, " Would, I fear, never do, " Though we might, as to mere calcu- lation, " Send for BOWRIXG from France, " To teach him finance, " And subtraction, and multipli- cation; " But you know what a sad pertur- bation. " He occasioned our Associ- ation " By that business with DAN, " Which demolished the man " As a part of our Adminis- tration. " There's that Scotch ABERCROMBY " May, it's fancied by some, be " Possess'd of a qualifi- cation; " His return, to be sure, " Is pretty secure, " And that's no small consider- ation; " For since in her old corpor- ation " We've produced such transmogriti- cation, " With his tongue in his cheek, he " May blarney Auld Reekie, " And humbug her whole popu- lation. " But then, there's NED ELLICE, " You know, would be jealous, " That rose- bud of civili- zation ; " Though the Tories defame him " And grossly nick- name him, " Which causes him great tribu- lation— " Yet why should it give him vex- ation ? " Ursa Major's a prime constel lation, " And who dares declare " Him the only ' Great Bear' " To be found in our Adminis- tration? " As to little JOHN RUSSELL, " Who's in such a bustle " To put us to farther ' pur- gation,' " With his ' Ballot' and nonsense, " We can not, in conscience, " Consent to such gross inno- vation. " We must all view with great constem- atioa " A seat of but three years' dur- ation; " The KING and the Church " We can leave in the lurch, " But we can't leave our Adminis- tration. " Stay !— by jingo, I've caught " What, you'll own's a bright thought* " Cnless I've lost all pene- tration— " I'll be off in a trice, " And take with me SPRING RICE: " To propose for the KING'S appro- batfon f " When once I've made this presen- tation, " There's an end to our whole bother- ation; " And no longer sticks " In this ' tarnation fix' " Our ricketty Adminis- tration."

Superior to intimidation, May they free us from mere mob- dictation, Till her Altar and Throne Grateful ENGLAND shall own, PRESERV'D BY PEEL'S ADMINISTRATION ! The following testimony of Sir JOHN CAM HOBHOUSE,. the noted Reformer, to the excellence of the measures intro- duced by Sir ROBERT PEEL for the Reform of the Criminal Law deseiYes attention at this time. The Morning Chronicle thus reports the speech of Sir JOHN on the 22d February, 1827:— : Mr. HOBHOUSE ( now Sir JOHN), after the commendations whicli had been bestowed on the Right Hon. Gentleman by his Noble Friends, amidst the cheers of the House, could only say, in wishing to intrude for a few moments upon their notice, that there were occasions when those who felt strongly were not to be restrain- ed by ordinary considerations from giving utterance to their emo- tions. In all that had been addressed by the Right Honourable Gentleman to the House, there was only one part upon which he could venture to make a single observation— one single phrase upon which he felt himself bound to make a single comment. The Right Honourable Gentleman said that he might possibly have taken another course, which would have led to more splendid fame, and more honourable distinction. Upon that poiid alone, of all that the Right Honourable Gentleman had offered to the Home, he begged to . express his dissent, for it was impossible but that the Right Honour- able Gentleman must have seen an earnest of his future fame, and well- merited good fortune in the repeated testimonies of applause which were showered upon him from all sides of the House, and from - January 11. j o h n b u l l 13 HffletpimtM ofthe country, conveying the assurance of a reputation Which no future action of his life would be able to destroy!—[ hear, hear J After several other complimentary observations, Mr. HOBHOUSE pro- • ceeded, " There was a habit which prevailed in the city ( Westmin- ster) which he had the honour to represent, in obedience to which the representatives wereobligedftnnually to appear before the repre- sented, to convey an account of their proceedings, and to receive such instructions with respect to their future conduct as the circum- stances of the times rendered expedient. Upon those occasions it had been usual to hold forth to their imitation such men as we con- sidered models with regard to conduct; and he hoped it would be considered neither foolish nor improper to say, upon the present occasion, that at those times the name of the Right Honourable Gentle- man had been always declared entitled to rank amongst those of the benefactors of mankind.—( The Chancellor of the Exchequer here seemed to laugh.)— The Chancellor," continued the Right Hon. Gentleman, " may smile, but although there may be prejudices of another description, they looked only on the great Reformer of great abuses, and as such considered him entitled to the gratitude ofthe country." The Honourable Member concluded by entreating the Right Honourable Gentleman not to be stayed by the obstacles which might be presented to his course, but to persevere, declaring " that he had already formed the basis of a great man by showing that he was a good one."'—( Hear.) IN giving an account of the results of the Provincial Elec- tions whi^ li are concluded, we shall take the liberty of bor- rowing our descriptions from the catalogue raisonnee which the Morning Chronicle has been periodically publishing during the week. Its reasonings upon those results, the allegations it makes, the facts it details, and the conclusions at which it arrives, are all of the first order as curiosities, in their several degrees. We give the extracts verbatim, merely throwing into italics the points which have afforded us the most amusement and edification. Monday's Chronicle :— t LEICESTER BOROUGH. ( From our own Correspondent.) Every hour adds to the excitement here prevailing. Every suc- ceeding day's canvass gives additional confirmation to the assurance of success'to our late worthy representatives, Messrs. Evans and Ellis. Victory is assured. A peep into the camp and head quarters of the enemy betrays their state of weakness and dismay. Coaxing, cajoling, caressing, lavish promises, and insolent menaces are resorted to, but evidently without their former effects. The polling commences on Wednesday morning, and terminates on Thursday afternoon. The Mayor and Bailiff, as returning, officers, have thus hastened the election for two substantial reasons— one the low state of the treasury, the whole weight of the contest in this respect being laid on the Liverpool backbone, which is not over strong, and to give an opportunity for Serjeant Goulburn to try his better luck at the immacu- late borough of Warwick, and to allow time for Mr. Gladstone to reach Portarlington. Friday's Standard:—• LEICESTER. FINAL CLOSE OF THE TOLL. Goulbnrn .. .. .. 1483 Gladstone .. .. .. 1473 Evans .. .. .. .. 1341 Ellis 1306 You will guess, though I cannot describe, the exultation of loyal folks in this large manufacturing town at having snatched it from the Radicals in the most triumphant manner Mr. Goulburn has just ceased addressing an enormous crowd, who before he commenced struck up the national anthem of God save the King, and sang it with an enthusiasm I never witnessed. If this be no proof of re- action I am at a loss to conceive what is. At the last election Mr. Boughton Leigh ( the Conservative) was beaten by a majority of 250 or 2G0 by Ellis, and by Evans infinitely more. The feeling is so en- tirely changed that Mr. Paget ( not long since one of the Members for the county, and the most popular mob orator in town or county) could not obtain a hearing ; and all sentiments of loyalty and attach- ment to Church and King were loudly cheered. Three years since no man could walk the street with a blue ribbon in his hat. Chronicle, Friday: - EXETER. ( From our own Correspondent.) JAN. 7.— The election terminated this afternoon, as I had antici pated, in the return bf Sir W. Follett and Mr. Divett. The Learned Knight has the honour of reviving the ancient system of contesting an election, which we had thought had died with the birth ofthe Reform Bill. Five thousand pounds, it is said, have been the price of this instance of re- action. The King's Solicitor- General ( or rather his friends) have laid out their money well, and have thus far shown their determination not to subvert the spirit of the Reform Bill. The numbers at the close of the poll were— Follett .. .. .. 1424 Divett .. .. .. 1176 Bnller .. .. .. 1029 Ibid, Friday:— NORWICH. WEDNESDAY.— We have lost the election, but not from any disjiosi- tion amongst those who have formerly supported Liberal measures to put any confidence in Sir Robert Peel's Ministry— for on this subject there has been but one opinion amongst us, and that has been, that nothing to benefit the country can be expected from such a Ministry ; but from the undue influence and corrupt means which have been resorted to, chiefly amongst the ignorant and soul- bartering electors. The books were closed at four o'clock, and about five the Sheriffs en- tered the Court with the successful candidates, and announced the numbers to be as follow:— I. ord Viscount Stormont .. 1892 Robert Campbell Scarlett, Esq. .. 1878 Hon. E. V. Harbord .. .. 1592 Frank Offley Martin, Esq. .. 1585 Lord Stormont and Mr. Scarlett thanked the electors for having elected them, and repeated what was asserted at the last election, that it was obtained without bribery!! Of Horsham and the triumphant return of Mr. HURST, the Chronicle writes thus : — HORSHAM. ( From our own. Correspondent.) FINAL CLOSE OF THE POLL, JAN. 7- Hurst .. .. ... 127 Broadwood .. .. .. 124 Majority for Hurst .. -— 3 Mr. Hurst's majonty is composed of the following three, viz.— Robert Hurst, Esq., his father, Henry Padwick, Esq., his paid agent, and himself Robert Henry Hurst, the returned candidate. We conclude that the Chronicle was not aware that Mr. HURST, so triumphantly returned, is one of the most cele- brated of Radical Reformers. We find by the same patriotic paper, that Mr. EAST, at Winchester, has an extremely good chance of being returned — not from any re- action. WINCHESTER.— NOMINATION. ( From our own Correspondent.) THURSDAY.— The nomination of the candidates for the representa- tion of this city took place this morning at St. J ohn's House. The candidates are the late Members, Messrs. Mildmay and W. B. Baring, who are Reformers, and Mr. B. East, a Tory, and the nomi- nee of the Duke of Buckingham. After the usual formalities had been gone through, and the oaths administered, V. Earle, Esq., pro- posed, and R. Knight, Esq., seconded the nomination of Mr. Mild- may ; Dr. Crawford proposed, and J. Theobald, Esq., seconded Mr. Baring; and Dr. Williams, head- master of the College, proposed Mr. East, and Captain Neulle, R. N., seconded the nomination. The show of hands was greatly in favour of the Reform candidates. Mr. East demanded a poll, which will commence to- morrow. A very se- vere contest is anticipated ; not that any reaction has taken place in the city since the last election, when Mr. Baring polled one hundred votes above " Mr. East, but that the Corporation, Church, and College have actually compelled many of their dependants and tradesmen again to support the cause of their protege, Mr. East, against their con- sciences. Of the signal defeat of the Radical COLONEL DAVIS, at Worcester, the Chronicle savs: WORCESTER. ( From our own Corresjxtndent.)!! WEDNESDAY, JAN. 7.— Tory and corporation influence, and Tory gold in abundance, have obtained a partial victory here, in turning out one of the Reform candidates— Colonel Davies. The grossest threats and intimidation, where nothing else could be successfully nsed, have been resorted to, to compel the poorer class of electors in Worcester to vote for the Tory candidate. On opening the poll this morning, at eight, but few voters presented themselves. Towards ten o'clock, however, they began to appear in numbers, and Bailey continued gradually, until twelve, to reduce Davies's majority of yesterday. At this hour he passed the Colonel, and headed him by three— the numbers being, for Bailey 1025, and for Davies 1022. At half- past twelve the scale turned, and Davies had a majority of four. The most intense excitement now every- where prevailed, horsemen and carriages were dispatched in all di- rections to bring up tbe voters, but few of whom remained unpolled. At one Bailey again prevailed, having a majority of 15, and this gradually increased until the final close of the poll at four, when his majority over Davies was 17. I am unable to get the precise numbers. Gold and intimidation seem to do wonders; and if either or both succeed in perverting the Reformers, it only proves that the pure, and independent are either mercenaries or cowards. However, at Warwick we find them supporting the Conservative. WARWICK. ( From our own Correspondent.) I!! CLOSE OF THE POLL, JAN. 7- The poll was kept open until four o'clock, and the result was then declared to be— For Sir C. Greville .. .. 564 Bolton B. King .. .. 478 John Halcomb .. .. 416 Majority for King over Halcomb 62 PLUMPERS. For Mr. King .. .. 351 Sir C. Greville .. .. 50 Mr. Halcomb .. .. None! So that every vote for Halcomb was a split vote of the Greville party; yet there was no coalition! The friends of Mr. King conducted him to his hotel from the hustings, preceded by a band of music and handsome banners. The successful Member addressed the crowd in a very spirited, independent speech, which was received with accla- mations by the hundreds who had voted for him. The election has been exceedingly well conducted. All has been good humour and peace. Not the slightest disturbance has occurred. It has been a complete contrast to the last election. This is the more creditable, as it has been, rather inconveniently, the Sessions week. Now let us see what the Chronicle savs about Maidstone:— MAIDSTONE.— NOMINATION. ( From our own Correspondent.)!! This day ( Monday) the nomination took place for this borough. Messrs. Robarts . and Barnett were nominated for the Blues, and Mr. Wyndham Lewis for the Purples or Tories. The two former were very well received, and gave great satisfaction by their manly and candid addresses. Mr. Lewis, whose delivery and obvious want of talent is greatly against him, but who is said to possess other more powerful means of convincing the corrupt part of the constituency, is of course supported by the Corporation, and the old remnant of To- ryism, whom the present Lord Mayor of London once represented very accurately both in talent and principle We shall probably have a sharp contest, but there seems no doubt of the return of Mr. Robarts; and although the Tories are offering about 301, per man for votes, yet it is expected that the old Kentish blood, which generally peeps out at election time, will inevitably elect the honest and really Liberal candidate Mr. Barnett, in preference to the advocate for slavery and corruption. The show of hands was in favour of the Liberal candidates. A poll was demanded for Mr. Lewis. The result of this demand, which the Chronicle seems to consider on Tuesday a superfluous ceremony, is thus described by that valuable journal of Wednesday,— the mildness of which, and the respectful manner in which the independent electors whose rights have been derived from the Reform Bill are spoken of, must gratify the followers of the ELLICES, EASTHOPES, and LUSHINGTONS, and prove to the rest ofthe country the spirit of fairness and moderation by which their political feelings are regulated :— MAIDSTONE. ( From our own Correspondent.) !! ! ' CLOSE OF THE POLL. TUESDAY.— The polling commenced this morning, and at the com- mencement the friends of both parties were very sanguine. The Tories, however, were the earliest in the field, and pushed in their voters with unexampled activity, in order to gain a good show on the first day's poll. As much as 501. was offered by them for a single plumper for Mr. Lewis, their candidate ; and the consequence was, that a great many ofthe freemen, some of whom are as venal as any voters In the kingdom, and, to their eternal infamy be it spoken, also a great many of the new electors— who were violently opposed at the registration by the Tories, and only gained their votes by the assiduity of the Reformers— were won" by " filthy lucre." The Reformers saw that it was impossible to return both their candidates, Messrs. Robarts and Barnett, two tried and good Reformers ; and at about twelve o'clock in the da. v Mr. Barnett resigned, that he might not endanger the return of Mr. Robarts, who has represented the borough for sixteen years. Mr. Hildyard, a barrister, was then nominated by the Tories; and shortly afterwards, Alderman Lucas was putin nomination. At about two o'clock, however, these can- didates were withdrawn, and the poll was closed by consent of all parties. The numbers then were, Mr. Lewis .. .. .. 529 Mr. Robarts .. .. .. 398 Mr. Barnett ( at the time he resigned) 333 Alderman Lucas .. .. 5 Mr. Hildyard .. .. .. 3 The Mayor then declared that Messrs. Lewis and Robarts were elected. These gentlemen returned thanks, and each party con- ducted their Member through the town in procession. Perhaps a more infamous election never took place under the domi- nation of rotten boroughs. The town of Maidstone, containing 16,000 inhabitants, has been treacherously and infamously sold by the venality of about three hundred voters. " Corporation Reform is the only cure ( always excepting the ballot) for this horrid state of things. After the Corporation had been represented by Alderman Winches- ter, the only disgrace that could befal it was that of being sold to Wyndham Lewis. Nine out of ten of the new voters above alluded to, sold themselves to the Purples. These men never had a vote before. Many of these scoundrels have always professed to be Radicals. The election must have cost Mr. Lewis upwards of 10,0001.; but if the Duke of Wel- lington were to snatch the crown from the head of our present Sove- reign, and establish an absolute despotism, these venal slaves would have sold themselves into his service. Of Chatham, the Chronicle gives an elaborated history, which, after twitting Sir JOHN BERESFORD with calling London " Lunnun," contains this passage:— " The show of hands were thirty or forty to one for Cap tain BYNG— a poll was demanded for the Admiral. " Captain BYNG'S RETURN is CERTAIN— he will poll AT LEAST thirty- five votes more than the Admiral, notwithstand- ing the grossest attempts at intimidation and corruption have been made. BRAVO, CHATHAM !" After the Bravo of Wednesday, we hear nothing more of Chatham in the Chronicle, except that on Thursday, Sir JOHN BERESFORD being a head of the " certain" Captain BYNG ( whom it occasionally calls Sir JOHN BYNG), it says — " But it is said there was an error in casting up of the votes." The Chronicle thence holds its peace, and we find Sir JOHN P. BERESFORD returned. Of Bristol, the Chronicle gives the following history :— BRISTOL.— NOMINATION. { From our own Correspondent.) MONDAY, Jan. 5.— To the close of the past week it was not ex pected that any contest would have arisen for this city, but that the present Members, Mr. Baillie and Sir R. Vyvyan, would have walked over the course. The friends of Reform, however, determined to do all in their power to aid the national cause, and having reason to know, from Sir J. C. Hobhouse's connection with this city ( the Right Hon. Baronet being a native ofBristol, and possessing large property in its immediate vicinity), that he would serve if elected, drew up a requisi- tion which fully states their grounds of action, and of which the fol- lowing is an extract:—" A crisis has arrived in the history of thin city, which places in your hands the power of deciding ' another question— whether Bristol shall maintain a character for independ- ence among the cities ofthe kingdom, or continue an object of merited contempt, bypersistingin sendingasits representatives in Parliament two men— one to say ' No,' and the other to say ' Yes,' upon every question of national importance ? To give you an opportunity of proving your unaltered attachment to the great principles of constitu- tional Reform— to furnish you with the means of retrieving the ho- nour of Bristol, and of ranking yourselves again among the inde- pendent constituencies of the country, we place in nomination this day the Right Hon. Sir J. C. Hobhouse, Jiart., a gentleman of tried integrity and large fortune ; born and educated in Bristol, and conse- quently attached to it by ties, the influence of which no stranger can feel— a Reformer from the days of his boyhood— a friend to the people when the friends of the people icere few— a man of talent, and a man of business. We fearlessly challenge for him comparison with the Tory candidate in every respect as a Representative of Bristol in the National Legislature. We place him before you as the most fitting colleague of Mr. Baillie, whose political principles we approve— whose past Parliamentary conduct we accept as an ample pledge for the future, and whose election we are resolved most strenuously and cordially to promote." It was not deemed advisable to give publicity to this document till the moment for striking a decisive blow; and so faithfully was lite counsel kept, that till bills to this effect were posted round the city on the morning of nomination, no idea was entertained by the Tories of any opposition. This morning the nomination took place at the Guildhall, when J. E. Baillie, Esq., was proposed by Robert Bright, Esq., seconded byM. II. Castle, Esq.; SirR. R. Vyvyan was proposed bv Alderman Daniel, seconded by Joseph Cookson, Esq.; Sir J. C. Hobhouse was then proposed by C. A. Elton, Esq., seconded by Richard Ash, E-< q Notwithstanding the shortness of the notice, a large majority of the electors appeared with the colours and cards of " Baillie anil Hob- house," and the announcement of both names was received with the most tremendous shouts of exultation and enthusiasm. Mr. Baillie was not. present., owing to the illness of his venerable parent; Sir J. C. Hobhouse, of course was not expected to appear, so that the spon- taneous burst in his favour is the more gratifying. Sir R. R. Vyvyan attempted to address the electors, but hardly a syllable could le ga- thered amidst the discordant shouts and yells which greeted the Hon. Baronet. The show of hands was declared by the Sheriffs to have fallen upon Hobhouse and Baillie; indeed a vast majority appeared over the Blue candidate. The polling is fixed to commence on Wed- nesday morning. We have elsewhere to- day noticed the indignation natu- rally felt by Mr. BAILLIF., at being, without his own know- ledge and consent, betrayed into the coalition with Sir CAM HOBHOUSE, which has lost him his seat; but we prefer giving the version of this most glorious defeat of the much- puffed " friend of the People" from the Chronicle'' s own columns— a defeat more decided than any the Destructives yet have met with, inasmuch as it has dragged down to re- jection one of the most popular Members Bristol ever re- turned, and of whose previous Parliamentary conduct his constituents declare their entire approbation. The People of Nottingham, in whose faces Sir JOHN HOB- HOUSE has been graciously pleased to spit, had better, before he offers himself again for their votes, learn by heart the fol- lowing declaration of that ratting, wriggling, weathercock, which was placarded all over Bristol:— " Sir JOHN CAM HOBHOUSE will take his seat for Bristol, if elected." Thus he treats his Nottingham admirers as slaves, and proves what we said ofhim, that if returned for thenew place, he would ride his rotten borough of Nottingham with a no- minee— Cabbage stalks are too good for him. At the close of the poll tile numbers were: — Miles .. .. 3699 3307 2512 Vyvyan B'aiflie 1808 - 2865 Hobhouse Majority for Conservatives — A word is needless. In Thursday's Chronicle we find the following: CARMARTHEN AND LLANELLY.— NOMINATION. ( From our own Correspondent.)!!! JAN. 5.— At an early hour this morning the friends of the opposing parties were on the alert. Soon after ten o'clock the Hon. W. H. Yelverton, accompanied by his committee and a large number of the most influential and independent gentlemen of the borough of Carmarthen, entered the Town- hall. Mr. Lewis, the Conservative candidate made his appearance, surrounded by the corrupt magistracy and underlings of our corporation. The returning officers bavin" got through the preliminary business of the meeting, W. Chambers, Esq., sen., of Llanelly, came forward, and in a brief but energetic speech proposed the Honourable W. II. Yelverton, which was im- mediately seconded by Captain J. G. Philips, and I may say thirded by the unanimous cheers of the whole assembly, always excepting the minions of corporation. Mr. Lewis was proposed by Captain Edwardes, and seconded by Mr. D. Prytherch. Mr. Yelverton then addressed the electors, and pledged himself to the faithful discharge of his Parliamentary duties if elected, and also to his unqualified opposition to the present Government. The show of hands was in favour of tho Liberal candidates. The poll will commence to- morrow ( Tuesday), and close on Wednesday. On Friday we read with considerable satisfaction in the Standard:— CARMARTHEN BOROUGH. The Conservatives have gained a most glorious victory in this borough. Every effort, every exertion was made by the Whigs, but their conduct in the last Parliament was so disgraceful that the elec- tors would place no further confidence in them. Mr. Yelverton has been rejected with every mark of contempt. The poll at its close stands as follows:— CARMARTHEN. Yelverton Lewis Majority for Yelverton LLANELLY. Lewis Yelverton Total majority for Mr. Lewis, the Conservative candidate, at the close of the poll on the second day, 41. The friends of the Constitu- tion have triumphed. Welshmen will support their King. Of Ipswich we have the following details from the Chronicle:— IPSWICH. ( From our own Correspondent.) JAN. 4.— The nomination of representatives for this borough takes place to- morrow morning. The candidates are—( in the people's in- terest), Mr. James Morrison and Mr. It. Wason; ( in the Tory cause) Mr. Fitzroy Kelly and Mr. R. A. Dundas. AFTER A. CAREFUL SIFTING OF BOTH PARTIES, I HAVE ASCERTAINED BEYOND A DOUBT THAT THE ELECTORS OF IPSWICH ARE ALIVE TO THE GOOI> OF THEIR COUNTRY, AND THAT THEY WILL RETURN MESSRS. MOR- RISON AND WASON. In the beginning of the canvass there wag some doubt as to the success of the former gentleman; but after his explanation of his Parliamentary conduct, the electors were so satisfied that they have resolved to return him. We find on Friday in the newspapers the following:— IPSWICH. JAN. 7.— 1 am proud to communicate the complete success of the Conservative cause in this borough. The poll closed this afternoon at four o'clock. The numbers were :— Kelly Dundas .. •• •• •• Wason .. - • • • • • ^ ol Morrison .. •; •• •• 516 Next week I hope to communicate an equally complete" tnumpij 217 214 84 40 j 4 y o h n b u l l.

Of Northampton, the Chronicle of Wednesday says:— NORTH AMPTON ( BOBO').— NOMINATION. ( From our own Correspondent.) ! ! !" J AN. 5.— The nomination of candidates for this borough took place this morning. Mr. V. Smith and Mr. Charles Ross, the late Mem- bers, were nominated, the former by G. Peach, Esq., who made a forcible— and if we may judge from " the applause that followed— a convincing appeal to a very dense number of electors assembled, se- conded by Mr. Parker; the latter by Dr. Robertson, whose speech was rendered almost inaudible from the disapprobation not very silent III expressed by his auditors, and seconded by Alderman Charles Freeman, who, together with other dignitaries of this civic body, are most anxious for the return of the Conservative- corporate candidate. Mr. Charles Hill, who, however, was represented by his nominees, Sir. Henrv Marshall and ijr. J. Simpson, was the third candidate ; the show of hands was declared to be in favour of Mr. Vernon Smith and Mr. Hill, upon which a poll was demanded for Mr. C. Ross, who, like all other ultras of the Tory school, is, if we are to believe his statements, a good Reformer, and only begs for a " fair trial." If we are to judge from the feelings manifested on the Market Hill, he has already had it, and that a verdict ' it guilty of Toryism in its most incorrigible form, will on Wednesday, on which day the election is to take place, be pronounced. In reply to this sagacious foreboding we find the following in Friday's Post:-— NORTHAMPTON.—' THURSDAY, Four o'clock. ( From our Correspondent.) The good cause— the cause of religion and loyalty— has triumphed gloriously. Notwithstanding the deeplv- matured scheme on the part of the Whigs to make the borough of Northampton the scene of a Ministerial defeat, the result of this day's poll has proved not only that they were wrong in their calculations, but that all that is worthy, loyal, and religious in this borough are true to the heart's core in the cause of their common country. They had reckoned upon divisions in our ranks, but they are miserably disappointed. It is now uni- versally regretted that a second Conservative was not started, as his return might have been gloriously secured. Smith's majority over Ross has, during the whole day, been becoming " small by degrees and beautifully less." The following is the final state of the poll:— Day's Poll. Gross. Ross ( Conservative) .. 260 1112 Smith ( Whis; .. .. 167 .... 1118 Hill ( Radical) .. .. 97 .... S53 Of Southampton, the prophetic Chronicle tell us— ( From another Correspondent.) Mr. Easthopeis generally thought sure to win, and great exertions are making to secure the success of Mr. Bingham, the other Reform candidate, who is the Recorder of the town, and very popular. Mr. Hoy and Mr. Dottin, two old Members, and strong Tones, are the anti- Reform candidates. SOUTHAMPTON.— NOMINATION. ( From our own Correspondent.) The nomination of candidates took place this day ( Tuesday) in the Town- hall— Mr. Le Fevre, the Mayor, presiding as the returning officer. You are already aware that we have no less than four gentle- men who seek oursnffrages— three of them in earnest; the fourth as a bush- fighter. The earnest ones are John Easthope and Peregrine Bingham, Esqrs., Reformers, and Barlow Hoy, Esq., anti- Reformer, who, at the last election, was unseated by a' vote of the House of Commons for the gentlemanly conduct of taking the suffrages of iwrsons who had been long since dead— for, in fact, false personation. The non- earnest candidate is Mr. Dottin. Chronny then proceeds to say at great length a great many foolish things, for which we have not room, and then con- cludes :— " The Tories, I can assure you, took nothing by their manoeuvres, but all went on well and in good humour. The real contest will be decided to- morrow, and of it you will, of course, receive from me the earliest intelligence. One Reformer is sure, and that is Mr. Easthope— the other will be hard run ; but whether by Mr. Hoy, or by Mr. Dottin, remains to be seen." In reply to this, we find in Friday's newspapers the fol- lowing :— SOUTHAMPTON. Conservative principles triumph here. The reaction is al- ready proved. DOTTIN and HOY are returned. Let us then look at the said prophetic Chronicle as to Hull:— HULL.— NOMINATION. ( From our own Correspondent.) JAN. 6.— The nomination took place yesterday. Mr. Hill made a brilliant and effective speech of nearly three hours' duration. Mr. Hutt followed in the same spirit, and with great effect. Mr. Carru- thers was heard with great impatience by an immense concourse of nearly 10,000 peeple, when a show of hands was taken, and in favour of the Reformers, of nearly 100 to 1. The polling commenced this morning; at eleven, the hour when the last accounts before the starting of the post was made up, it was as follows:— Hill, 312; Hutt, 321; Carruthers, 291. ( From our own Correspondent.)_ The Tories are as usual practising every dirty trick in order to re- turn their man— a person whom they themselves acknowledge to be " a conceited simpleton." The Reformers, however, are united as one man. They no longer talk of favourites, but of the. cause ; and being thus united, all the money lavished by Carruthers, in de- bauching thepauper burgesses, WILL BE SPENT IN VAIN. The result of the poll is the return of Carruthers .. .. .. 1843 Hutt 1544 Hill ! 1377 The Chronicle tells us :— YORK. ( From our own Correspondent.)!! This city will be warmly contested. Popularity against corrupt influence— good principles against Treasury " old. The straggle lies between Mr. Uarkley, Mr. Hume's seconder last Middlesex election, and Mr. Lowther. Any fresh candidate is out of the question. Mr. Dundas is safe. The Whigs have promised to split on Mr. Barkley. We shall see. Their party ( the Corporation Whig interest) once threw over Mr. Petre, the third man, and were in return ejected by a similar manoeuvre on his part. There is some doubt, therefore. Selfishness has been too often the order of the day. Mr. Barkley is supported by the Dissenters, and the friends to purity of election.' He has thrown'much weight into Mr. Dundas's scale, by begging his friends to split to the last man. fVe trust this handsome conduct will be reciprocated. Polling on Tuesday and Wednesday: nomination on Monday. The hopes and predictions of the Chronicle are again flat- tered : the return is— Lowther .. .. 1494 Dundas .. .. 1301 Barkley .. .. 914 Of Lincoln, the Chronicle informs us :— LINCOLN. ( From our own Correspondent.) The polling commences on Tuesdav. The balance of both parties 1 look upon to be pretty nearly equal, so that it is difficult to say whether Colonel Sibthorp or Captain Phipps will be the successful second man. Mr. Rulwer is safe. He will be considerably above all the others upon the poll. The Hon. Captain Phipps is a brother of Lord Mulgrave. If he should fail now, he is determined to stand upon the next occasion that may offer, when the Lincoln people will have become more intimately acquainted with his independent cha- racter, and less bending perhaps to the infernal system of intimidation. Return— Col. Sibthorp .. 565 Bulwer .. .. 406 The Morning Post gives the following intelligence from Sunderland:— SUNDERLAND, Jan. 7. ( From our Correspondent.) This great borough has done its duty by re electing that able, use- ful and independent man, Mr. Alderman Thompson, and sending as his colleague D. Barclay, Esq., a Conservative Whig, who will not offer a factious opposition to the King's Government. The other candidate was Sir William Chaytor, who has misrepresented Sunder- land since the passing of the Reform Bill, and the consequent en- franchisement of the Thorough. Sir William is a Baronet of Earl Grey's creation, and has latterly avowed himself a thorough- going " Destructive." He attended the dinner given in Newcastle to the Earl of Durham, and made a silly speech, a verbatim report of which appeared in the Post, extracted from the columns of the Newcastle Journal. From the moment that speech appeared in print Sir William was a lost man. The Earl of Durham has vainlv en- deavoured to trample under foot the independence^)!' Sunderland, and the attendance of one of their representatives at a dinner in honour of their oppressor, was an oflence which the independent electors were determined should be visited with severe punishment. The eloquent Baronet is the head of a large banking establishment in the borough, which of course exercises considerable local interest. HAlias had, upon this occasion, the entire support of the Earl of Durham's coal- agents and slaves, and servants of every degree. Still he was beaten off the ground, the result being on the close of the first day, as follows:— Mr. Alderman Thompson .. .. 611 Mr. David Barclay .. .. 508 Sir William Chaytor .. .. 285 The last time that Sir William contested Sunderland there were four candidates, and he was at the head of the poll. Now there were three candidates and he was at the bottom. Is here no re- action ? Nothing could exceed the frantic rage of the " Durham and Des tractive" faction on finding that they were dead beat. Threats and bribery were, however, alike spurned bv the honest electors with dis- dain, and Sir William on the close of the first day's poll issued an - - ignally beaten in liis own neigh bourhood and on his own ground. _ The agents of the Noble Earl, notwithstanding Sir William's despairing address, kept the town in a state of agitation, and brought up such voters as were open to " un- due influence." The result, however, remained, and the official announcement will take place to- morrow as follows:— Thomson .. .. .. 844 Barclay 709 Chaytor .. .. .. 389 Mr. Barclay is', I believe, connected with the firm of Barclay, Per- kins, and Co. His residence is Eastwith Park, in the county of Surrey. We rejoice in this triumph of Conservatism, but we wish Mr. BARCLAY had offered either for Southwark or one of the divisions of Surrey. The following is from Leeds :— LEEDS. ( From our Correspondent.) The town of Leeds has at length nobly redeemed its character for constitutional loyalty and attachment to the Kingly Government, by the triumphant return of Sir John Beckett. At the close of the first day's poll Sir John had a majority of 98 votes over the foremost of the Orange candidates, and they were vain enough to boast that the result of of the next day's poll would be to place him 250 behind the second on the poll. " Mr. Wm. Brougham arrived on AVednesday night, about eight o'clock, from London, and afterwards addressed the people to the same effect from the windows of the Mercury Office, in Briggate. Alas, they had not calculated on the re- action which has taken place. All their efforts to improve their position on the poll were unavailing. Sir John Beckett gradually gained ground, and at the close at four o'clock on Thursday the numbers were, for Sir John Beckett .. .. .. .. 1941 Mr Baines .. .. .. .. .. 1794 Mr. Brougham .. .. .. .. 1566 The official return will be made on Friday ( yesterday), and the chairing will forthwith take place. Of Norwich, the Chronicle, tells us ( from its own correspon- dent) :— JAN. 3.— Nothing can be more favourable than the general canvass of the Hon. E. V. Harbord and F. O. Martin, Esq. Since the arrival of the latter gentleman, the canvass has been again gone through; and indeed only the gieatest energy in the struggle that is now approaching could have enabled him to do so much in so short a period. The consequence of the zeal of both the candidates, and of their friends, has been to increase greatly the number of votes. The cry is completely in favour of the reform candidates; and nothing, save the grossest bribery, can prevent Harbord and Martin from becoming the representatives of Norwich. ShoulclHarbord and Martin be successful [ of which there is as fair a chance as ever any candidates enjoyed in this city), it wil] be indeed a double triumph ; for it will not only be a triumph of political princi- plet but of moral feeling over the basest system of corruption and intimidation ever practised. in this kingdom. ( From another Correspondent.) The election for this city is fixed for Tuesday the 6th instant, when all four of the candidates intend going to the poll. The Hon. E. V. Harbord and Frank Oflley Martin, Esq., the Reform candidates, have been very active, and, we may add successful in their canvass. Every opportunity has been taken of meeting the electors, and ad- dressing them on the necessity'of rescuing Norwich from her present degradation, and supporting Reformers. A Committee of very re- spectable gentlemen has been formed for the prosecution of any cases of bribery, let it be by whichparty it may; but the Reform candidates have taken a high ground— they will either be sent free, or lose the election. On Friday the Reform candidates met. at the Bee- hive on St. George's Plain, and not less than from 4000 to 5000 persons at- tended, when the candidates informed them that the result of the canvass had been most flattering to them. They could not possibly lose the election unless the Tory party resorted again to bribery. We find in Thursday's newspaper the following result:— NORWICH, Jan. 6. ( From our Correspondent.) The Conservative cause is triumphant. The numbers at the close of the poll on the first day were— LordStormont .. .. 1644 Mr. Scarlett 1638 Mr. Harbord .. .. 1436 Mr. Martin .. .. .. 1433 The day has passed off veiy quietly. The Liberals have had re- course to the expedient of causing thebribery oath to be administered to the electors without discrimination. Speaking of the various defeats of the Destructives, the Chronicle always finds a reason why they ought not to have been beaten— the ifs and buts are particular ; for instance:— BRECON ( BOROUGH.) ( From our own Correspondent.) J. L. V. Watkins, Esq., the late M. P., has resigned, inconse- quence of bad health. C. M. R. Morgan, Esq., the unsuccessful candidate in 1832, had made a canvass, previous to Mr. Watkins's resignation, aiulsays he is certain of a majority. J. P. Wilkins, Esq., ( a Reformer) is in the field, in opposition, Mr. Watkins not having stated his intention of retiring until last Thursday ; otherwise there would not be a shadow of doubt but that the Reformers of Brecon would once more show their independence, by electing a man of their own choice, and not the nominee of a Duke, Marquess, or Baronet. Mr. Morgan has been returned. The Chronicle, in its despair, does not hesitate about bela- bouring its friends as well as its opponents ; as thus :— EVESHAM. ( From our own Correspondent.) The nomination took place here on Monday. The Reform candi- date, Sir C. Cockerill, most unhandsomely withdrew at 11 o'clock on Sunday night. The Reformers nominated Mr. Wm. Rudge in his absence, but he declined to stand when informed of it. Ihe conse- quence was, that Mr. Borthwick, the Tory candidate, and advocate of West India slavery, was declared duly returned. This is not exactly the case. Mr. BORTHVYICK'S success was not the consequence of Sir C. COCKERILL'S retirement— Sir CHARLES COCKERILL'S retirement was the consequence of Mr. BORTHVVICK'S success. At Reading one of those unpleasant contre- temps which have so seriously affected the Chronicle and its party seems to have occurred. READING. ( From our own Correspondent.) WEDNESDAY.— Close of the Poll.— During the whole of this day, the most strenuous exertions have been made by the friends of Mr. Oliveira and Mr. Russell; and it has, throughout the day, been, in- deed, a neck- and- neck race. The shortening of the polling- time by the Reform Act lias done much in preventing the intimidation and Tory tricks so notorious in Reading; but still it has prevailed to some extent. Had Mr. Oliveira made his appearance in Reading a little earlier, his principles would have triumphantly prevailed. Talfourd ( r) .. .. 640 Russell (<) .. .. 451 Oliveira ( r) .. ... 385 The number of voters registered is 1002, and the number polled amounted to about 930. We then hear from Halifax:— HALIFAX. ( From our own Correspondent.) CLOSE OF THE POLL FIRST DAY, TUESDAY, JAN. 6. Wood ( Reformer) .. .. 295 Protheroe ( Reformer) .. .. 273 Wortley ( Tory) .. .. 259 The proceedings of this day have gone off pretty quietly, but the Tories are now using every means to lay hold of forces for to- morrow. Nearly ninety voters are yet unpolled, but out of this number many will not record their suffrages. The fate of the Tories is calculated upon as fully sealed, and the return of frood and Protheroe considered quite secure. Both these Gentlemen addressed the electors from their respective committee- rooms at the close of the proceedings, and were enthusiastically received. Mr. WOOD and Mr. WORTLEY were returned. From Rochdale, the Chronicle tells us:— ROCHDALE. CLOSE OF THE CONTEST.— THURSDAY. Mr. Entwisle's friends have succeeded in their efforts, and that gentleman has been returned. At noon to- day, Mr. Fenton resigned, the numbers being then as follows:— Entwistle .. .. .. .. .. 369 Fenton .. .. .. .. .. 323 The Conservatives are in high glee! From Oxford, we have the following evidence of Tory cor- ruption and the blessings of Reform, derived from the" same source:— OXFORD. ( From our own Correspondent.) JAN. 8.— The Tories, aided by their usual disgraceful measures of intimidation, threats, and cajolery, have succeeded this day in placing their candidate, Mr. Maclean, 253 above the Reformer, Sir. Stonor. Such disgraceful interference with the freedom of election has taken, place as will canst? many of its abettors to blush when their misdeeds are published, and will doubtless render the present election for Oxford a fit subject for inquiry as soon as Parliament shall meet. Hundreds ot electors have been compelled to vote against their wishes and con- sciences ; many of whom being College servants and 101. house- holders, CURSE THE DAY THAT THE REFORM ACT MADE THEM THE SLAVES OF THEIR MASTERS ! ! !—[ Capital.] The proceedings of the present election have made more converts to the Ballot than could possibly have been conceived. STATE OF THE POLL, FIRST DAY AT FOUR O'CLOCK. Hughes .. .. .. 1016 Maclean .. .. .. 946 Stonor .. .. .. 693 JAN. 9.-— Half- past Twelve— Mr. Stonor has just retired. From Ashton we are favoured with the following facetious account:— ASHTON. ( From onr own Correspondent.) THURSDAY, FOUR O'CLOCK.— The Liberal cause will triumph in this borough. It seems probable that Colonel Williams, the_ lata Member, whose politics are Radical, will be ejected, and that in his place the electors will return a moderate Whig, in the person of Mr. Hindley. After a day's hard fighting the poll at four o'clock, as follows:— Hindley .. ... .. 143 Hicks .. .. ..' 85 Williams .. .. .. 50 The distinction between Liberals and Radicals we have yet to learn ; but whatever consolation the Chronicle may derive from Mr. HINDLEY'S " moderate AVhiggery," it is quite welcome to, since in its own account of the state of the poll in yesterday's paper, exactly opposite to the above comfort- able paragraph, we find Mr. HINDLEY registered as a TORY. We could continue this long list of Whig and Radical ab- surdities for another half dozen columns— but we think what we have already done will answer the purpose we have in view. AVE very much regretted not being able, last week, to give insertion to the following letters from the Bishop of EXETER to Lord JOHN RUSSELL— setting his Lordship right, and putting his Lordship down, in a manner so mild and dignified, so calm and so convincing, that any man of moderate modesty to whom they had been addressed, would shrink from the scrutiny of the public eye. Lord JOHN, however, persists in canvassing and speech- making, notwithstanding the pro- claimed defections frcm his rotten cause. The letters speak for themselves, and need neither com- ment nor remark from us:— " Exeter, Dec. 31. " MY LORD— My attention has been called to a letter in the Western Times of Saturday last, bearing your Lordship's signature, and to the report a speech recently made by you at Tavistock, head- ed, ' Reply to the Bishop of Exeter.' This letter, and this reported speech must, I conclude, have proceeded from authority, and I address myself to your Lordship accordingly. " You have now taken upon yourself, with some inconsiderable modifications, the responsibility of having made the statement at Totness which I have felt it my duty to contradict. You admit that at a meeting of persons who, as you well knew were peculiarly sen- sitive on the question of tithes, grievously disappointed at the course taken on that question by the G overnment of which you were a Mem- ber, and demanding from you ajustification of that course, you scruple not to throw on the Bishops the whole odium of their disappoint- ment, to charge the Bishops with the sole responsibility of having thwarted the intentions of yourself and your colleagues, for the peace of the country on this agitating question. ' Of the various proposi- tions,' you say,' that were made with regard to tithes there was one at least, if not more, which on being submitted to the heads of the Church, they declared should have their opposition in the House of Lords, conceiving they were injurious to the interests of the phurch- AV'e ( the Ministers) did not think they were injurious to the interests of the Church; but we thought it useless to force through the House of Commons a measure which would have been defeated in the House of Lords.' " Such is the statement which is now avowed by your Lordship. It is a grave statement, demanding very substantial grounds to jus- tify it, if made by any man ; but more especially when made by one who had been recently thought worthy to hold a high place in the councils of his Sovereign, who still aspires to the character of an upright statesman, and who, in rendering to the people an account of his conduct as Minister, claimed a continuance of their confidence in himself and his late colleagues. On such an occasion it would be natural to expect from an honourable mind like your Lordship's, a more than ordinary caution in making assertions affecting the public estimation of others; above all, of the chief ministers of religion— of those who hold on the affections of the people ( I will not say any reli- gious man), but any true friend of his country, certainly, any one fit to be entrusted with a share in its government, would* at no time, least of all in times like the present, suffer himself, without absolute necessity, to impair. " My Lord, it was in despite of such obvious restraints of principle and right feeling that your Lordship scrupled not to make the state- ment which I have quoted ; and when reminded that it was unfounded, to justify it by the following— what shall I call it? assertion it is not:—' To the best of my recollection, a proposition on the subject of tithes was submitted by Earl GREY, on the part of the Cabinet, to the Archbishop of CANTERBURY on the part of the Church. The Archbishop refused his assent to the proposition, and either on that or some subsequent occasion sugge » ted a voluntary commutation of tithes as the only practicable measure at that time. This took place, 1 think, in the beginning of the year 1833; certainly before Lord ALTHORP brought iu his first Bill on the subject of tithes.' " In other words, vour Lordship thinks yourself at libwrty to say, of a negotiation to which vou were not a party, that in it the Archbishop of CANTERBURY bore t" he part of representative of the Church ; and that his refusal of assent to some proposition ( you say not what) was January 11. j o h n b u l l. 15 equivalent to, and authorised you in representing it, in the most invidious manner, as a declaration of the Heads of the Church generally, that one proposition at least submitted to them should have their opposition in the House of Lords ; and in order to give the fullest effect to your assertion, your Lordship was pleased to add, that this declaration, deduced from the Archbishop's bare refusal of assent, had sufficient influence with the late Government to prevent them from ' forcing through the House of Commons' a mea- sure on which they had otherwise resolved. " My Lord, with this narration of yours I wish to deal as tenderly as duty to my cause, a very momentous public cause, permits. But there is one fact disclosed in it which seems so utterly inconsistent with the statement you have last made, that I am bound to ask ( what your Lordship doubtless will rejoice to give) some satisfactory ex- planation. It is this:— Although a part of the Archbishop's com- munication to Earl GREY, " whether made in his individual capacity or as a Representative of the Church, was thus potential in the deliberations of the Cabinet; yet another part of it, the only part of • which your Lordship gives us any account, viz., that' nothing but a Toluntary commutation of tithes was practicable at. that time'—• • was not permitted by you and your colleagues to have the slightest influence with you whatever. For, according to your own statement, after the correspondence between the Archbishop and Earl GREY, a Bill was introduced by Ministers into Parliament, in spite of the Archbishop's dissent, founded on the principle of a compulsory com- mutation of tithes. It is true that this Bill was not ' forced through the House of Commons.' But why was this ? Certainly not from any consideration of the non- assent of the Archbishop, or of any declared or apprehended opposition to it from ' the Heads of the Church ;' but because the Bill was found so full of matters objected to by others, that Ministers were compelled to withdraw it. Kay, so little regard was paid to the refusal of the Archbishop's assent in this particular, so little was it suffered to interfere with those measures of Government, that again in the following year another Bill was introduced founded on the very same principle; and this also it was found necessary to withdraw for the same reason. " My Lord, hitherto I have been looking solely to your case ; it is now time that I should state my own. In doing " this I abstain altogether from noticing any comments your Lordship may have been pleased to make on my conduct: though these comments have, I hear, been dispersed in hand- bills, and placarded on every wall in this city, and through a large portion of the county. My Lord, I shall leave my conduct to vindicate itself, when I have simply stated it, as follows ":— " Before I said a word to my Clergy respecting your Lordship's speech atTotnes, I wrote to the Archbishop of CANTERBURY enclosing a copy of the extract from that speech, which I have quoted, referring him to the Standard of the 6th of December, where he might see the whole speech, and stating to his Grape, for his correcting or confir- mation, my recollection o'f what had passed between the Government and the Bishops on the matter of tithes. I have not a copy of what I wrote, but it was to this effect:—' That in December,' 1832, the Government asked the opinion of the Bishops on six different matters, the first being the question of tithes ; and that on this our answer was, that our opinion had been given in the Archbishop's Bill of the Session of that year, which Bill had received the cordial and warm support of Ministers; but that we were quite ready to give our best consideration to any measure which the Government might propose — that no proposition was in fact made— that, if I was not mistaken, • we received a communication of the general nature of oneof Lord ALTHORP'S Bills before it was brought in; but our concurrence was not asked, nor any judgment expressed upon it to Government, on our part, nor even formed by us in deliberation among ourselves.' " To this his Grace answered in the following terms:—' Your recollection of the communication to the Bishops about the Tithe Bill is correct. What may have been said in private conversation by any two Bishops, I cannot tell; but no such thing' as is asserted was said to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, or any other Minister of the Crown, by any one authorised by the Bishops, or who from his situation in the Church might be considered as the organ of their, opinions.' " When your Lordship's ' Letter to the Electors of the Southern Division of the County of Devon,' of the 23d instant, and the report of your speech at Tavistock of the preceding day, were shown to me, I sent a copy of the newspaper which contained them to the Arch- bishop of CANTERBURY, requesting his Grace's permission to make fcnown what had passed between us. I have this day received that permission. " The Archbishop says, ' I can have no objection to your stating that you had written to me, and that your recollection of what had passed in the way of communication on the subject of tithes was con- firmed by mine. The sentence quoted from my letter was written with reference to the year 1834, which I then understood was the time referred to by Lord JOHN RUSSELL ; but I cau sustain my assertion in respect to 1833.' " This is a matter which is not for me to discuss: and as his Grace informs me that he will himself write ( or has already written) to your Lordship I have only to express my satisfaction at knowing that you will receive such a letter, as it must remove any remaining obscurity, if any does indeed remain.— I have the honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's most obedient servant, " The Lord JOHN RUSSELL." " H. EXETER." " Exeter. Jan. 2,1835. " MY LORD— Since my letter to your Lordship of the 31st ult. was written, I have been made acquainted with the nature of the commu- nication between Earl GREY and the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, on which your Lordship founds your former statement; and I now state it explicitly, in order that you may be enabled to contradict me ex- plicitly, if I am wrong. " About the beginning of the Session of 1833, there was a meeting between Earl GREY, two other Members of the Cabinet, and the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, for the purpose of frank and friendly discussion of the matter of tithes, and of devising, if it were possible, some equitable mode of settling the question, with due regard to the interests of all concerned. " At this meeting more than one proposition was considered. The Archbishop expressed an unfavourable opinion of them, so far as they were cumpulsory; not, however, for the reason stated by your Lord- ship, because they would be injurious to the interests of the Church, but because their being compulsory would encumber any measure founded on anyof them with difficulties, through which he could not see his way, bearing hard in some instances on tithe- payers, in others on tithe- owners. He added, however, that although he did not see how these difficulties could be overcome, he did not say that others could not overcome them. In short, he said nothing that indicated any purpose or apprehension, much less amounted to a declaration that he should himself oppose the measure in the house of Lords ; and, as for the Bishops, he expressly said that he knew not what their opinions were or would be. He was indeed desirous of hearing from that meeting some proposition to be Laid before them; but he obtained no such commission. " My Lord, when I know all this, and when I consider that your Lordship avows that you knew ( indeed it is hardly possible that you could be ignorant) when you spoke at Totnes and Tavi- stock, and wrote your placarded letter of the 23d ult., what was the ' one proposition, at least,' which you thus repeatedly stated to have ' been made to the Heads of the Church,' and rejected by them with a threat of * opposing it in the House of Lords,' and abandoned by Ministers in consequence of that threat; and when it appears that this proposition ( never made to the Bishops) was not abandoned, but was made the foundation of a Bill brought into Parliament soon afterwards, and was ultimately withdrawn by the Minister who intro- duced it, merely because it was objected to by the tithe payers ( see debates, 3d of July, 1833)— I regret that two days ago I employed myself m writing so long a letter to your Lordship.— I am, my Lord, your Lordship's obedient servant, " The Lord JOHN RUSSELL." " H. EXETER." Thursday, February 19th, nor has this rule, which is invariably acted upon, been in operation less than thirty years— but how much longer than the period I have named, I will candidly confess I am not aware. Hoping that. you will take this hint in good part, and perliaus even condescend to notice the receipt of it, I remain, dear Bull, your constant reader, SCRUTATOR. We willingly insert this letter; but we beg to say, that we by no means consider ourselves responsible for paragraphs copied in the ordinary routine from other newspapers. Tuesday's Gazette contains| the following regulations to be observed at the KINO'S Levees :— The Noblemen and Gentlemen who propose to attend his MAJSTY'S Levees at St. James's Palace are requested to bring with them two cards with their names thereon written, one to be left with the KING'S Page in attendance in the Presence Chamber, and the other to be delivered to the Lord in Waiting, Who will announce the name to his MAJESTY. And those Gentlemen who are to be presen- ted are hereby informed it is absolutely necessary that their names, with the name of the Gentleman who' is to present them ( not the Lord in Waiting), should be sent in to the Lord Chamberlain's Office before twelve o'clock on the Monday previous to the Levee on the 25th of February, and on the Monday previous to each succeeding Levee, in order that they may be submitted for the KINO'S approba- tion ; it being his MAJESTY'S command that no presentation shall hereafter be made at the Levees but in conformity with the above regulations; and, further, that no person shall be admitted, on any pretence whatever, who has not been presented. It is particularly requested that Gentlemen who are to be presented at the Levees will have their names distinctly written upou the card to be delivered to the Lord in Waiting, in order that there may be no mistake in announcing them to the KING. The state apartments will not be open for the reception of company coming to Court until half- past one o'clock. The following are the days appointed for the QUEEN'S Drawing- Rooms:— Thursday, March 5 ( being for the celebration of her MAJESTY'S birthday); Thursday, April 2; Thursday, April 30; Thursday, May 14 ; Thursday, May 28 ( being for the celebration of the KING'S birthday); and Thursday, June25. The Drawing- Room to be held at St. James's Palace on Thursday the 5th of March next being for the celebration of her MAJESTY'S birthday, the Knights of the several orders are to appear in their collars. The Right Hon. Sir CHARLES MANNERS SUTTON and Mr. GOUL- BURN, have been re- elected for Cambridge University without oppo- sition. The heads of Colleges gave a splendid dinner, on Tuesday, to the Speaker, who, with Mr. GOULBURN, had been invited for the occasion of the election. The latter gentleman was unable, from the pressure of official duties, to attend. After dinner, the healths of both their late Representatives were given and drank with applause, by the numerous but selectcompany there assembled. Sir R. MAN- NERS SUTTON returned thanks for himself and his colleague in a very elegant and decided, yet moderate and conciliating speech. The Earl of COURTOWN has been appointed Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard. The following is the list of Lords of the Bedchamber as far as completed:— Lord AMHERST, Lord J. O'BRIEN, LordBYfloN, Viscount ASHBROOK, Lord ADOLPHUS FITZCLARENCE, Lord VERULAM, Lord SHEFFIELD, Lord SIDNEY, Sir P. SIDNEY, Lord ERNEST BRUCE, Lord TULLAMORE.— One vacant. The Earl of RODEN is confined at Tollymore Park, from the effects of a severe fall from his horse— the injury, however, is not of a serious nature. The birth- day of the Duke of RUTLAND was celebrated at Belvoir Castle on Monday last with all the splendid hospitality for which its commemoration has during a long series of years been especially dis- tinguished. The Duke of WELLINGTON left Belvoir Castle on Tuesday morning for Melton Mowbray, whence his Grace was expected to proceed forthwith to Hatfield House. It was a subject of general remark that his Grace was never observed in better health or more buoyant spirits.

G. ROWLEY, Vice- Chancellor.

C. L., of Corpus Christi College, and Sir Robert Harry Inglis, Bart., D. C. L., of Christ Church, wefe unanimously elected. The former was proposed by the President of Corpus ; the latter, by the Very Rev. the Dean of Christ Church. CIMBRIDGE, Jau. 9.— On Tuesday last, the Right Hon. C. M. Sutton, and the Right Hon. Henry Goulhurn, were unanimously elected Representatives of this University in the ensuing Parliament. On Wednesday week, the Rev. Henry Howarth, B. D., was elected Hulsean Lecturer for the year ensuing, and not Christian Advocate, as stated by mistake in our last. . . The following is the subject for the Hulsean prize dissertation for the present year:—" The resemblance between Moses and Christ is so very great and striking that it is impossible to consider it fairly and carefully, without seeing and acknowledging that he must be foretold where he is so well described." The Representatives in Parliament for this University being pleased to give annually— 1. Two prizes of fifteen guineas each, for the encouragement of Latin Prose Composition, to be open to all Bachelors of Arts, without distinction of years, who are not of suffi- cient standing to take the degree of Master ot Arts: and— 2.

January 8th, 1835. DEAR BULL,— Un avis an lecteur, contained in your last number, and professing to throw light upon the subject of the resumption of the privilege of franking by Peers of Parliament, is so eminently cal- culated to mislead the public, as to fill one with surprise that so* gross and palpable an error should have found a place in the columns of " John hull." We are informed, that on the dissolution of Parliament, " the power of Peers to frank ceases, until a Member is returned at the general election to the House of Commons, who, having the power to frank, the privilege is resumed by their Lordships.*'' That this is a vulgar error I need only to refer you to the recent circular published bv the General Post- office, and addressed to all Postmasters of the United Kingdom, on pernsal of which, you will find that the privilege in question does not recommence before Salurdai/, the 10th instant, that being the fortieth day previous to that on which the new Parliament is summoned to agsewole— yiz., on Tuesday the freeholders of the western division of the county of Kent, residing in the vicinity of Bromley, Eltham, Lewisham, < fec. dined together, to the number of one hundred and fifty, in the Assem- bly- room of the White Hart Inn, Bromley, for the purpose of meeting Sir WILLIAM GEARY-, Bart., candidate for the western division of the County of Kent, who attended by invitation. There were present, Mr. BERENS, Chairman of the Quarter Sessions, Sir CHARLES FAR- NABY, Mr. P. HART DYKE, Mr. MOYSEY, and several other influen- tial gentlemen of the county, the supporters aud friends of Sir WJI. GEARY. JOHN CATOR, Esq., in the chair. After the usual loyal toasts, the company was addressed by the Rev. SirC. FARNABY, Cap- tain CATOR, R. N., and P. HART DYKE, Esq., with much ability. The health of Sir WILLIAM GEARY was drank with enthusiasm, who re- turned thanks in an eloquent speech. On Friday week a party of between sixty and seventy gentlemen sat down to dinner at the Swan Inn at Newlands, near Worcester, Captain KANOLER, President; supported by OLIVER MASON, Esq., as Vice- President. The following toasts were drunk:—" The Church, King and Royal Family;" " Sir ROBERT PEEL and the pre- sent Ministers." " Col. LYGON and Mr. PACKINGTON," " The Earl and Countess of BEAUCHAMP,"" LadySusAN LYGON," " The Earl of COVENTRY," & C. & C. Several appropriate songs were sung in the course of the evening, and the conviviality of the meeting was kept up to a late hour. Though there was not any election dinner in Southwark, there is said to have been a plentiful supply of " Harvey's sauce." A jproof of the prevalence of Conservative principles among the agriculturists was afforded at Devizes on Thursday, when Sir PHILIP DURHAM having been recognised in the Corn market, was saluted by nearly the whole of the farmers present, with three tremendous Wiltshire cheers.

Sunday the Bishop of HEREFORD held a private Ordination, when the following gentlemen were ordained:— Deacons: Mr. Thornton, Christ coll., Oxford; Mr. E. H. Daniel, Christ Church, Cambridge ; Mr. Graves, and Mr. Philps, Oxford.— Priests: Rev. Mr. Cliffe, Dublin ; Rev. Mr. Churton, Cambridge. ST. MARTIN IN THE FIELDS.— Many of the Clergy in the diocese of London are said to have expressed some mortification at their diocesan having gone elsewhere for an Incumbent to supply the place of Dr. RICHARDS in the above parish; a feeling which is stated to have been rather enhanced than allayed by the reason said to have been assigned by the Bishop, who is represented to have alleged that he had applied to all his Archdeacons to recommend him a proper person, and they had expressed their inability so to do.— Herald. THE REV. T. M. M'DONNELL.— On Sunday last, the Rev. T. M. M'DONNELL preached a long sermon at the. Catholic Chapel, in this town, in which he dwelt upon the virtues of Christian charity, meek- ness, and forbearance... At four o'clock in the afternoon, by way of better observance of the Sabbath, Mr.. M'DONNELL went by the mail to Banbury, as a delegate from the Political Union, and was soon recognised by the voters. in the interest of Mr. LLOYD WILLIAMS, who made the place too warm for him, and gave him to understand that if he interfered in the election, they would drag him through the river. The Rev. Gentleman left his inn, and took up his quarters at" ii pot- house, where he was engaged to meet a number of radical non- electors at twelve o'clock on that night ( being Sunday) upon politi- cal matters. He, however, did not show on the day of election.-^ Birmingham Advertiser. Bath Abbey, one of the Cathedrals of that diocese, and one of the few cathedrals in England used as a Church for general purpose, Is about to be closed, while it is repewed and otherwise repaired and improved. * It is a not little to the credit of Trinity college, Cambridge, that it has educated the present Lord Chancellor, the present Chief Baron, the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas; Judges BOLLAND, J. J. PARKE, WILLIAMS, GRAHAM ( ex); the Master of the Rolls, the Attorney- General, the Solicitor- General, the ex- Solicitor- General, the Chief Judge of the Court of Bankruptcy, and its two Judges, Sir J. CROSS and Sir G. ROSE ; with a moiety nearly of the King's Counsel, and, among them, that Polypheme of law, JOHN BELL. The Rev. Dr. GEORGE BARNES, Archdeacon of Barnstaple, has received a very numerously signed requisition from the Clergy of his Archdeaconry, requesting the calling a meeting of that body, for purposes similar to those of the meetings of Clergy already held in the Archdeaconries of Exeter and Totnes, but which is unavoidably postponed until the elections in that county have takenplace. The Rev. HENRY WILLIAM HILL, Rector of Rock, Worcestershire, at his tithe audit on the 16th ult. returned, unsolicited, to his pa- rishioners, ten per cent, on their respective payments. It affords its infinite gratification to be enabled to place on record such acts of liberality on the part of the Clergy to their parishioners— acts which induce that good feeling which ought ever to exist between Ministers and their flocks. The inhabitants of Falstone, Northumberland, last week presented their highly respected Curate, the Rev. SAMUEL KENNEDY ( who, after a residence of thirteen years, is about to take his departure from Falstone), with an elegant silver tea- pot, sugar basin, and cream- ewer, purchased by general subscription from all ranks in society and all religious denominations; for in the estimate of Mr. KENNEDY'S worth and trulv Christian deportment, there is but one opinion. The following inscription is very neatly engraved on the sidt> of the tea- pot:—'- To the Rev. SAMUEL KENNEDY, m testimony of the unwearied attention and truly Christian spirit displayed by him during a residence of thirteen years among them, the parishioners of Falstone and its vicinity offer this tribute of gratitude for hispastoral care, and of their regret for his loss.— 183i. ' 16 JOHN BULL. January 11. STOCK EXCHANGE.— SATURDAY EYEING. During the week the elections have much interfered with the Stock- Exchange speculations, but the fluctuation has not been of Hjuch moment. At oner was very abundant yesterday, and Con- sols went up to ; but this " morning, the hostile tone of the Message of the President of the United States as respects the French Government, the purport of which reached London via Paris, caused the Market to be heavy, and the price dropped to 91 %. The closing Snotation was 92. Exchequer Bills left off at 42 44, and Indian ionds at 22 23. Long Annuities are 17 1- 16. In the Foreign Market, the Northern Bonds are all on the advance.

By the Paris papers of Thursday we learn that Louis Philippe has accepted the resignation of the Prince de Talleyrand, and appointed Lieutenant- General Count Sebastiani to succeed him as Ambassador at the British Court.— The House of Peers sat as a Court of Justice on Wednesday, when they issued decrees of accusation against two of the individuals implicated in the April disturbances, and ordered live others to be discharged, against whom sufficient evidence had not been found. The House were to meet on Thursday, when it • was anticipated Ministers would introduce the Bill voted in the House of Deputies for applying a sum of360,000fr. towards the mak- ing the necessary preparations for the impending trials.— On Wed- nesday the Deputies resumed the discussion of the Tobacco Mono- poly Bill. They have voted a prolongation of the monopoly for five instead of ten years demanded bv the Government, and decided that not more than four- fifths' part of tobacco of French growth shall be employed in the manfactunng of the article.

LAMBETH.— Alderman Farebrother formally resigned on Friday night, but the other candidates kept open the poll yesterday to make a greater show of strength. WESTMINSTER.— The official declaration of the numbers polled at the Westminster election was made on Friday. The numbers were declared to be as follow:— Sir Francis Burdett .. .. 2747 Colonel Evans 2588 Sir Thomas Cochrane .. .. 1528 The High Bailiff then declared that Sir Francis Burdett and Colonel de Lacy Evans w'ere duly elected. TOWER HSMLETS.— Notwithstanding the strong hopes that were held out to Captain Burton of being returned by a respectable ma- " ority, the scale turned suddenly in favour of his real opponent Dr. Lnshington, by Mr. Clay's friends coming forward in great numbers, and splitting their votes in his favour. This coalition was observable between ten and eleven o'clock on Friday morning, up to which hour the polling went on spiritedly in all the'booths. From this, how- ever, until three o'clock in the afternoon, the reform candidates Soiled rapidly a- head, when Captain Burton, having consulted with is friends, came to the determination of resigning. MARYLEBONE.— At one o'clock on Friday, Mr. Sandell, the re- turning officer, came on the hustings with a corrected return in favour of Sir Samuel Whalley and Mr. Bulwer in his hand :— Sir S. Whalley .. .. 2956 Mr. Bulwer .. .. 2781 Sir Wm. Home .. .. 1862 Mr. Young .. .. 378 He accordingly declared Sir S. Whalley and Mr. Bulwer duly elected. FINSBURY.— Islington- green was yesterdav morning crowded at an early hour by persons anxious to hear the official state of the poll de- clared. The successful candidates, Messrs. Duncombe and Wakley, arrived shortly before one o'clock in grand procession, accompanied by their committees and friends, and preceded by several bands of music playing " See the conquering hero comes." Mr. Serjeant Spankie did not make his appearance.— Shortly after the cheering, on the appearance of the new Members, had subsided, the returning officer, John Raphael, Esq., came forward, and declared the state of the poll to be as follows Duncombe .. .. 4497 Wakley .. .. 3359 Spankie .. .. 2332 Hobhouse .. .. 1817 Friday's Gazette contains the elevation to the Peerage of Sir James Scarlett, by the style and title of Baron Abinger, of Abinger in the county of Surrey; Sir Philip Charles Sydney, by the title of Baron < 3e Lisle and Dudley, of Penshurst, in the county of Kent; Lord Vesey Fitzgerald, of Ireland, by the title of Baron Fitzgerald, of Desmond, in the county of Cork; and, George James Pratt, com- monly called Earl Brecknock, by the title of Baron Camden, of Camden Place, in the county of Kent. DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT TO BURN TWELVE PROTESTANTS.— On Wednesday se'nnight some villains set fire to the roof of the dwelling house of Air. John Sandford, in the parish of Kilkerrin, within seven miles of Tuam. Mr. Sandford and his family were all in bed at the time. He has a wife and ten children. The intent was to burn them to ashes. Some of the children, from the effects of the suffo- cation, awoke and alarmed the family, who, we are delighted to add, all escaped unhurt. The only reason that can be assigned for this diabolical outrage is, that Mr. Sandford and family are Protestants ; and the Priest a few Sabbaths before, from the altar in the chapel, in explaining to his flock the nature of the Bill the late Government intended introducing the next session of Parliament, said every parish not having a certain number of Protestants, would be free from tithe, and they need pay no such person as Mr. Synge, who is the respected parish minister. The Priest's hints were not lost on his hearers, as the above will show.— Galway Advertiser. THE INQUEST AT RATHCORMAC.— Gurthroe, Wednesday night, eight o'clock.— This long inquest has just terminated its labours. The Jury retired at one o'clock, and upon their return into Court at eight, delivered the following as their verdict, not being unani- mous :— 13 for Wilful Murder ; 2 for Manslaughter ; 8 for Justifiable Homicide. The Jury consisted of 14 Roman Catholics and 9 Pro- testants. ILLEGALITY OF THE CITY ELECTION.— The Act provides that there shall be two clear days for the election, and on this ground the late election for London must be set aside, as both the days werc. foggy.
