Skrias seconded the nomiaation.—Mr. John Dobede pro. pesed Lord George . John Manners. Mr. J. Marshall se conded the nomination.—The high sheriff called upon any ether gestlernan who had a candidate to propose to come for d and do lei,—The call not having been responded to, E, Hicks wished to ask a question of the candidates, relative to the propriety of the introduction of the pews into a diristian legislature? (Uproar, and cries of "Three cheers mßothechild, tho jew." These were given so heartily so to make the building ring.) Mr. E. Youn• said that it was now admitted that per ms of all religious opinions were eligible. Mr. Rothschild wee elected, and it now only remained to decide whether or not he could sit. To the question whether he approved of Mr. Rothschild's sitting, he replied he should vote against it. The majority would doubtless vote for Mr. Rothschild, and he would get in. (" lie will get in without your assistance.") Mr. Yorke No doubt of it, sir. Mr. Yurke proceeded: It had fallen to his lot, a their old representative, to address them. He hailed with great satisfaction the return of their old regretell , N(r. Tamlf. y), one of the Wet honourable . . . 'Lies of the whim and till meet upright men in the dental , . (Cheers.) Nor had he any cause of dissatisfaction when he (Quad that the retirement of Mr. Attie made room for a member of such a family, and the relative of an old and well.tried servant, who, on his retirement, had received a tefitissociel of respect from the county. (After paying a tribute to the memory of the late Mr. Eaton, Mr. He was not surprised at the want Yorke proceeded.) of energy that characterised the proceedings, when be recollected the concentration of energies of 1841, and the feeling of disgust that must naturally prevail at the result, sad the manner in which the cause for which they associated was treated in parliament. (Uproar.) There was not a mac in that room but would have felt exaspe rated if he had en trusted his vote to parties who turned round and violated their pledges. It was christian to forget and forgive, and he would Jo b.ith, but he would take care to have some memory in his forgetfulntes, and never again to trust the parties who had acted as he described. The now wile meat would comprise, amongst its many now faces, many men of notoriously democratic opinions, and many who en tertained similar opinions, but who, from a knowledge of the laws, knew better how far they could carry the prow claims of the people. It appeared to him that the removal of protection had not given them all that they required. What he 'eked was the state of the poor in the manufere luring districts, and generally since its removal ? It bed been said that bleasiugs would descend upon mankind on its removal. Where were they ? (Cry of " ask Fox, Cobden, or Theorem, in the House of Commons.") No, he wanted them to answer it, as he supposed they had as go od swam ' as any one else. Well, he did not think those blessings reel. It might be said to the agricultural body you have received no injury, and why do you complain ? that is true, but there is no thanks due to the free traders on that account. It might he said that the deficiency of last winter could not be attributed to the measure—very true, but it showed the folly of human legislation and the utter worthlessness of mortal efforts. He hail been twelve years their representa tive, end on all occasions had boldly and faithfully professed his opinion where he thought he had a right to do so, and to do his duty in the private business of the county. This was the very month and the centenary anniversary mince the period that a member of his tensity had stood for the county. (Cry of this ought to be the last.) It might be nothing to that gentlemen, but he would say that it was a source of honest pride to him, and its remerarance would stimu. late him to the performance of his duty in the service of ha constituency. The protectionists had been stated to have neither aims nor ends, head nor tail, and yet they had beets christened the " rump." (Laughter.) He thought that a bad name, as if it was meant to apply to their small number, let it be recollected that from a small number of persons sprang the " great feet "—the League; with a small number of persona originated the agitation on the subject of catholic claims, if meant to allude to their pneeiple• ; years and centuries ago, out of " • rump " grew the greatest political genius of this country, although his path to eminence was tracked in blood. Even though the nucleus should be small as a grain of mustard seed, if their principles were good they would spread. There was an in herent principle in a " ramp," which if kicked, led it to kick again. (Laughter.) One wound behind hurts honour more, Than fifty thousand wound, before. (Laughter.) So that it would be dangerous to meddle with them, and if it was intended to identify their principles with the celebrated " rump" the sooner the name was dropped the better. He considered toleration should be complete, and that could only be the case where no religious opinion excluded its possessor from participation in the privileges of the state. They had got into a mass of confusion by tra vellinpout of that pale. If the dissenters were to arrive at such a majority as to overthrow the Established Church, it was not to be expected that the church would give all the dissenters demanded. He (Mr. Yorke) did not intend to vote for the endowment of the catholic priest hood, but had voted for the grant to Maynooth on many grounds; the first of which arose trom his consideration of how the college was raised. At the Revolution the students of catholic faith of Irish birth were sent out of the country, and it was necessary that they should be provided with some means of education, and to take care that their patriotism was not diverted by inter course with foreign nations. The college was founded in 1793, for seven years there was no vote against it ; and for fifty years it was only occasionally hinted at by some ultra protestant. The dissenters were not doing enough by rail ing at Maynooth. (Cry of, "no church rates.") lie was perfectly willing to abolish church rates, believing the church would be better without them as she would on theirabolition receive the adhesion of many conscientious dieseaters—the Maynooth grant had obtained for fifty years. He had voted fee it and should do so again if he were now in similar circumstances. He asked the dissenters were they prepared to repeal the law ? If they thought they had strength enough let them agitate the question and not stand and bay at a distance at those who bad conacien tiously done what they believed to be right. Was there a man among them prepared to say that he would bring in a bill for the repeal of the grant. He might keep his promise to the letter, but the bill would be dropped, and no more heard of it. On all future occasions, as he bad done before, if he saw reason to differ with the opinions of his constituents, he should meet and discus the point with them, and hoped be should rever violate what to him was his greatest pride, the possession of their confidence. (Cheers.) Mr. It. G TOWSLEY was received with deafening ap plause. After expressing his sense of the honour conferred upon him, and his obligations to rash of his old friends who had rallied round bim, Mr. Townley proceeded to pay a passing tribute to the memory of his late friend, Mr. Eaton ,• and continued to say :—Much as he respected the noble lord at the head of the government, aeowing himself a wbig, as he always had done, and never being ashamed of the name it would not be par ty that would keep; him at the noble lord's side, if he were conscientiously opposed to his mea sures. He had left parliament when a great question, affect ing the agricultural community, was in agitation. He had said that lie thought the interests of that community safer in the hands of Lord John Russell than Sr Robert Peel; but Lord John had not strength enough to carry the measure he proposed, and it was left to his succour in office to introduce the great change that had been brought about. The part he had taken was to him a painful one; as, when Lord John Russell's government was tottering, he felt it his 1 duty to record his vote against it. He felt that the govern ment could not stand, but could he have been assured that the amount of protection then proposed by Lord John would have been secured, or even lees, be would have voted with him with pleasure. He did not think that all the evil predicted (rem free trade would follow, nor that all the good expected world result, at any rate not for a long period. He trusted that the vital importance of education would be brought home to every man, however humble, and made manifest, if not in his own family, at least in that of his more peaceful, happy, and thriving neighbour. lied he been in parliament at the time of the increased grant to Maynooth, he should unquestionably have voted for it. After all that had been said on the subject of catholic endowment, they found that the idea never was entertained by the government, and was even repudiated by the catholic' themselves. He was earnestly attached to principles of civil and religions liberty, and, consequently, had no sympathy with that religion which cramped the litvrty of the mind and left to the consciences of the priest the direction of the faith, principles, and actions of the people. He trusted that they (the electors) would not find their interests suffer in the hands to which they had committed them. Lord Geonoa J. MANNER& addressed the meeting at some length amid much interruption. He should he said be returned un'ried, unpledged, and, he feared, unknown ; be knew too well to what influence that return was to be ascribed. (Cry of " the Duke of Rutland.") Quite right— to legitimate and honourable family influence, and not that of property or wealth—(a cry of " Pakaw")—to the result of • long and honourable confidence between the electors of Cambridgeshire and the Isle of Ely and the family to which be belonged. Although they might find a more able, bril liant, or effective member, they would not find a more hottest one. His lordship neat avowed himself a protec tionist, and gave u a meson kis belief in the incapability of Britain to compete with the jealous rivalry of foreign countries, and the bed policy of relying on them for our supplies of food. His lordship entered shortly upon the effect of the price of provisions on wages, saying that they never varied in amount in equal ratio to the detriment of the poor man. He said that, although protection was said to be dead, free trade was not yet alive in all its members ; the blood might be circling round ita heart, hut had not yet reached the extremities, as malt, tea, Be. He pledged him self to press for a gradual repeal of the malt tax, and stated himself opposed to the catholic endowment. His lordship eras loudly called upon to express his sentiments on the game laws, but took no notioe of the request. After a vote of thanks to the sheriff, the meeting, which was chiefly composed of townspeople, dispersed. CAITHNESSHIRE. The election for this county took place at Wick, en Friday, the Gth inst. Mr. Trail was nominated by Mr. James Sill• Clair, of Fetes, one of the mod independent and intelligent liberals among the gentlemen of the county, and seconded by Capt. Henderson, of Steednee, a gentleman of moderately conservative opinions. No second candidate being proposed, Mr. Trail wu declared by the sheriff duly elected. An attempt was made shortly before the election, by Mr. Sinclair, of Freswick, an ultra-tory and protectionist, to take advantage of some dissatisfaction felt in the county from an impression that Traill had scarcely been courteous and attentive enough is meeting his constituents, and of some doubts us to the views he entertained en the question of endowmho.s. This let Mr. Traill on hie mettle, and he having completely lads htd the electors as to his opinions , without fettering his moral liberty by any pledges as to secific measures, the idea of opposition was abandoned. The brush has at least had the Rood effect of showing the folly of any but a liberal trying the wady which contains (or contained) John O'Groat's house. DUMBARTONSHIRE.

As ad so many opportunities whir*etre ten days of eddresing them on venous topies which arebtemse before the next parliament, he would nos now deals then at any great length. His boo. opponent claimed their support on the footing that the present government were the onlyindivi dual* to ride the helm of the state. Tear ) lie bed every regard for that genii meet. Re thought they had ' been ailed into office in trying times, and that they had coo ducted the country, on the whole, with great talent and great ability. But, in the present day, it behoved all parties to give an indulgent consideration to the government of the day. He should, if returned, as before, take= independent course. —Mr. Robertson, on coming forward to address the meeting, was loudly chee red. lie said that he was sorry that he should be the means of disturbing the good feelings which bad subsisted in this country for some years past. It was ne. cceoary for him to state his reasocs for 'akin toget into par- 1 lima nt, and the particular motive by which he was actuated. The early part of his life had been spent in Glasgow, the university of which he had attended for two years, an d then proceeded to Calcutta ; that might account for his wish ing to obtain an entrance into parliament through the suffrages of any constituency in this part of Scotland. In returning from India, he had been struck with the progress evinced in the buildings that have arisen in Glasgow, the beautiful vessels that now skim the series* of the Clyde, which he recollected had been, in his early days, encum bered with ill-managed craft, sad was struck at the appear ance of the beautiful villas that now are studded on its shores. He felt convinced that there mast have been cor responding improvement and advenoement in the intellec tual end moral condition of the people. (Cheers.) These feelings had been confirmed by more recent observation in the course of his journey through the , magnificent county of Dumbarton. It satisfied him that those were right who had assured him that the majority of the constituency were not likely to be altogether upon the side of a party which had always been opposed to all that was most desirable to be obtained. (Cheers.) And he saw no reason why he should not come forward as a candidate. The principal objection to him was, that be was a stranger. Now, that was true of every man who had passed his life in the service of his country abroad. The parliament of Great Britain was of a two-fold character, that which related to in ternal, and what related to external matters—home and fo reign Iffairs. The latter embraced the whole world, and were as important as the other; and a man who is well versed in foreign affairs, might, by diligence, obtain a com petent knowledge of home matters. They might my that external questions did not bear upon their comfort. But U they were to look at the ships which were built there, carry ing on traffic with distant climes, they would think it had something to do with their prosperity. Their trade with China, if accounts proved true, might again be interrupted ; now, on their relations with China he was pretty conversant. And he was perfectly convinced that, whenever the re sources of India were doubled, as be trusted they would be by the system of railways which was being introduced in that empire, it was perfectly impossible for any body to cal culate what the result might be. Now, a thorough know ledge of the administration of that vast empire might surely be no disqualification to act as their representative. But it was disagreeable to speak of one's self ; however it was the unhappy lot of a new comer, so that he must do so. It was necessary to Rive them a sketch of his own career in India. They must all have read of the Burmese war in India. It ended by a treaty which for once brought a war to an end without an unnecessary addition of territory. He held the chief political situation there, and the government of a large portion of India; and he had been engaged in concluding the treaty of peace, which remained till this day. (Cheers.) After returning to England, he had been appointed a member of the Council of England. This was the school in which he had been brought up, and he thought that, with a moderate share of capacity, he might at least comprehend the miners of this county. (Cheers.) The burgh of Eirkintilloth might be wanting re form, Bonhill might have some discontentment with regard to a bridge, and Helensburgh be in the same situation with regard to its quay. Now, all these things he had picked up during his sojourn amongst them. He was aware how the game laws pressed upon the farmer, and how the entail laws pressed upon the landlord. He would now come to matters of • more general nature. If they were to look hack to the beginning of the present can- tory, they would find that, whaarver subdivisions there I were, two puttee were in the state, dm one which regarded the first principle of the British essoileation to be gas of fixity, and the other its elasticity and peser of acomengibe clog itself to the wants of a growing emllillehlgooke 10 1. 0 .• oily. This was a great distinction of the peens is the sun , and it was by this distinction that be wad net lal u trk e i I ing that his hon. opponent and himself amid to tm Ile (Mr. Robertson) belonged to the amireselve pee*, end of Mr. Smollet he might say that bed to the pony which opposed progress. He had no personal ammenlem whatever with the ministry ; but with regard to it he Wail give it his adherence so long as it kept to its and no longer. He would support the p4 all Ma ll' A free trade in all its extension ; he was opposed In in tolerance, and to all further endowments. He imald raise his voice against the miserable war which wee waged against die free kirk about site*. He would= t a i n oi y ,, measure to do away with the entail law, for the of the game laws, and would give to the farmer ample and complete protection. He would oppose laws of class legisla tion, and all legislation which had not for its immediate and ultimate object the benefit of the community at large. Hay isg expressed his hope that the result of the election would be as his friends ventured to anticipate, Mr. Robertsofi con cluded amid great cheering.—The Sheriff then called for a show of hands for both candidates respectively ; but the show of hands were so near that he found a difficulty in deciding. Having called again, ho decided in favour Mlle Robertson. (Cheers.)—A poll having bass dameaded us the part of Mr. flinollett, the sheriff alUßSUlleli Sing till Pil ing days would be on Wednesday and Thusby next. at Dumbarton and Kirkintillock—Mr. R. C. B. Graham, of Gartmore, moved a vote of thanks to the Sheep, which wee carried by acclamation, when the meeting *operated. GLOUCESTMEURE (WEST). Yesterday Mr. Sheri ff Baker declared the official state of the poll. It was as follows : Hall, 4,240 ; Grantley Berke ley, 2,744 ; Grenville Berkeley, 2,123. Mr. Grantley Berkeley, after the declaration, asked the High Sheriff to explain the meaning of a document which he then held in his hand. It was signed by Samuel Sage end James Head ford, tipper Easton, St. George, and required the host mem ber to make the necessary oath that he was passaged dm& dent property to qualify him to take his seat for the Mill= division of the county.—The Sheriff said the declanisa sag addressed to the hon. member. Ile would be required %Min the necessary oath.—Mr. Berkeley, in continuation, said be held in his hand evidence of an attempt made by the castle Ito disprove his qualification. And why ? He had told his friends long ago that Earl Fitzberdinge had lent him money from time to time to make advances for his estates in the West Indies; 3,0001. had been borrowed by the lord- lieutenant at 4 per oent., and he was to pay 5 per cent. The castle throughout this business had mistaken their man. He I had consulted his solicitor relative to his qualification, and he had taken the opinion of counsel ; that opinion was guile satisfactory, end the qualification was quite sufficient for vary member. He should, therefore, of course, take the oath, and appear if necessary before a committee of the House of Commons. MONMOUTH (COUNTY). The nomination of candidates for the representation of this county took place on Saturday, at the Town-fall, Monmouth. The preliminaries having been One through the high sheriff, Mr. Wood, the Hon. W. Rodne pro , and Mr. W. A. Williams, of Liangebby , Grenville Somerset.—Sir Digby Mackworth_proposed, and the Rev. D. Davies seconded, Mr. Oetedus I 4 .—Mr. C. Buckley proposed, and Mr. S. Homtray seconded Captain Arthur Sonerest. Lord O. Soneaarr, on coming forward, said he believed in his heart that he had done his duty to the constituency, and for that and no other reason he asked them again to return him to parliament. (Cheers.) He would not now go into any matters which might be considered private. if his character was attacked upon such grounds, he would aril wild defend it; but, as far as the electors were con cerned, it was nothing to them what had caused the disturbance which was taking place in the county. They were to exercise their franchise upon public grounds, and upon public grounds alone d 4 be solicit it. (Cheers.) He should say nothing in derogation of his late colleague Of the other gentlemen he should speak by and by • but, in justice to himself, considering that he had accu sed of having acted unworthily, he might be allowed to state the case as it was. (Cheers.) In 1846, having injured his health by close attention to his offidal and parliamentary . duties, he went abroad. While there, he heard of the calamity which was impending over Ireland, and knowing the difficulties it must entail, he hastened to this country. His journey was interrupted by sickness, but as soon u he arrived to London he took all possible pains to master the subject. He had no wish even now to deny any. thing he had said upon the corn laws, or to deny that he had had a strong feeling that they were essential to the in terests of all classes ia the country, poor and rich. (Hear.) In 1846, however, he was called upon to determine noon a trait Mato of fdr..in. Ha ?Id men b9SC'ul' of being one of the oonlidential advisers of the crown, and upon him devolved the consideration of the question, ova it right for a man in his position to be so at niched to the mere credit of consistency as to do what was wrong ? He thought that it was his duty to do all he could to increase the means of subsistence for the people. (Cheers.) He knew that he should offend many amiable and valued friends, hut he felt bound to do what be Imilamml in his con science was necessary. In that quondam was involved another—Could agriculteriseuto ea amain the sail if pretection was taken away ? Me hit may mast the laniard of the experiment; but after animas awl maim comallera- Goa be was convinced that there was a nesamitv for frying it. The cabinet with which he was connected felt that the question was one which had not been before considered In a light in which they felt bound to wander it, and Sir Robert Peel and his followers resigned their offices into the hands of the Queen. He (Lord O. Somerset) then loft town, expect ing that Lord John Russell would be able to form a govern ment. He knew that Lord Stanley would not undertake it, for he heard him say so. (Hear.) Ile continued out of London till he was sent for. fin Robert Peel told him that IMMINENImm THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 10, 1847. Me Majesty lad Ism dhappolated in Lord Jobe Rovell's effects to fans a govionsmemt.bod called upon him to re-form hie, and barked his earths, he would resume his office / He told Sir Robert that he yea mmelseed, I,oking upon the state of affairs—looking at the preature on the country, and tak fraVehe whole matter babe cassideration, be felt bound, as • man, to give his emusent to a total repeal of the corn rws; lone he told him, at the rams time, that se to his rarnalptioa of ales he most take time to consider. He emsaulted only three person.,—time did not admit of his col malting more ; he consulted them separately, and told them the case, and each of them said be could do no otherwise than resume office. He then made up his mind to resume office, and he was very much gratified at receiving, the morning before he sent to Sir R. Peel to tell him he was willing to resume office, a visit from an influential gentleman of that county, Mr. Bailey, who approved of the course he intended to take. He was then convinced that that course was the 'effect one ; and be certainly did not anticipate, Mr. Bailey having told him se, that he intended to bring against him is this county the weight of his great influence. As far as he was personally concerned, looking to the state of hie health, and to certain family matters of a distressing nature, the resumption of office was anything but agreeable to him ; hut, being convinced that the measure to be proposed was in Its great outline one that ought to be carried, he resumed office, and the public events which followed were well known to them all. It was Sir R. Peel's desire, and it was his, to make the thing as easy te the landed interests as circum stances would admit of. He took care that if they had free trade in corn they should have free trade, as far as the reve nue would admit of, in other articles of consumption—that the cotton manufacturer should have no power of keeping up his protection, and that no interest should be unduly pro tected. As far as the revenue was concerned, he could not treat the matter cavalierly, and repeal at once 5,000,0001. of corn tax, and 4,500,0001. of tea duty, and tell the minister to find that MGR where he could, as his hon. friend would have done. (Hear.) He had already said that he would net al lude to private matters, but he must say that the sending round of that document in favour of his gallant opponent, and which must have been against him personally, was rather a sudden and carious proceeding (hear). and what had oc curred in his canvass made him think the proceeding even more extraordinary than be did at first, because he had been told by many electors that they :had been trepanned into signing the document—that persons told them that he was going to the House of Lords—that he did not mean to come to the county again —and, in short, all sorts of tales were told them to influence them to sign that document. (" Hear," and " Shame.") Who told those stories, who fabricated them, he knew not—whoever did so must have done so wilfully. (Hear, hear.) A public man had quite enough to do to be have correctly, to do his best, and to defend his acts and sayings—no public man could resist falsehood lad fabrica tion. (Cheers.) Up to the present contest, strange to say, he had heard nothing as to his vote upon the Maynooth grant. (Hear, hear.) Sir Digby Mackworth did not treat the matter quite fairly when he said that the petition of 1,250,000 persons was disregarded by Sir Robert Peel. Why, if the thing was right, they ought to disregard a petition against it, whether signed by 1,000,000 er 2,000,000. If it was wrong it ought not to be done at all, let who might ask for it. The noble lord having entered into an explanation of his vote on the Maynooth grant, a good deal of in temptien and explanation occurred between Lord Gran ville and Sir Digby Mackworth in reference to lt cor respondence between them on the Roman catholic question, Lord °mentos complaining that Sir Digby had not published a declaration, and Sir Digby asserting that be had published the spirit of it. Lord Granville next referred to the property-tax question, and said Sir Robert Peel, in the imposition of that tax, was actuated by a desire to set free the sources of revenue and the srurces of the prosperity of the country, and at the same time to preserve strict faith towards the public creditor. Then came the question, " Were the corn-laws to be re-enacted?" The poor had suffered much ; and, if the question were *eked, he believed that nine farmers out of ten would say that since the measure passed the price of corn had been higher than they wished. He believed that the farmers desired only a fair remuneration for their trouble, and fee the capital they employed; and that they ought to have. (Cheers.) lie did not agree with those who thought that the object of the farmer was,to 'terve the poor. (Cheers.) When the price of corn was too high, the poor suffered great privations. All farmers suffered through the poor-rates. Lord Granville then proceeded to criticise the addresses of Captain Somerset; and he told his gallant competitor that his friends and sup porters were compromising him by making misrepresenta tions concerning' him (Lord Granville). They Lad told the voters that he wanted to enclose Elmwood-common. Inti midation, too, was used. Many voters had told him (Lord Granville) that they would vote for him if they dared to do so, and a person named Luke, art overseer, who had strong objections against him, had, in canvassing the lower claims of voters on TreUick-common, said, that if they voted for Lord Granville, and wanted relief, the overseer would take care they should not have it. (Cries of " Shame .I.") If that statement wee true, the person who had made the threat was Indictable. After some further remarks, Lord Granville concluded by saying, that be had always done that which be thought his country required should be done, and if he was now to be sacrid, the county of Monmouth should never say ho had bartered his conscience for his convenience. —Mr. J. Bailey denied that in the interview with Lord Granville, in December, 1845, he admitted him to be right in joining Sir R. Peel's cabinet. On the contrary, he reca pitulated to him what bad passed since 1841—told him that the country was in a :neoprene state, and that corn ought not to be admitted duty free when only at 555. per quarter. Tka interview ended in his (Mr. Bailey's) saying, " I con solontieusly tell you I think it is not for the good of the rzeu, and I, with my principles, must desert you."— . Somerset reiterated his statement that Mr. Bailey said he thought he ought to join Sir R. Peel. He also said, " Your agricultural friends, probably, will be very violent against you, hut you will have the mannfacturers with you." —Mr. Bailey: I deny that in taro. The last words I mid were, "If you will *ever yourself from Sir It. Pool and those opinions I would go down on my knees to you." Mr. 0. MORGAN having addressed the electors, Captain Somerset said it was not because he was related to the noble lord who avowed having changed his principles, that he was to be debarred from offering himself for the county. Upon the chow of hands being taken, it was declared in favour of Lord O. Somerset and Mr. Morgan, and a poll was demanded on the part of Capt. Somerset. STAFFORDSHIRE (NORTH). The polling commenced yesterday. The doubtful anuie taken by the Duke of Sutherland has operated injuriously upon Mr. Buller's prospects, as will be seen by the number' polled. The great distance from the different polling places to Stafford, and the absence of any railway communication, rendered it impossible to obtain the state of the poll up to the close; at the time our expresses arrived in Stafford (six o'clock in the evening) the following were the number', as admitted by Mr. Adderley's committee, but in many install. ces the polls were up to three o'clock only, and the figures are but slightly indicative of the result. They are : Braekley (L.), 1,910; Adderiey (C.), 1,867 : Boller (L.), 1,674. The returns from Burton-upon-Trent and from Dn.:meter had not been received, but it was expected that these would further re duce Mr. Buller's minority. There is a curious fact in con nexion with the polling yesterday, that at Newcastle Lord Buckle y polled upwards of 200 votes more than Mr. Buller , although only a short week has elapsed since the noble lord was there defeated. The polling paned off quietly. Viscount Anson, M.P., was exerting tunnel( greatly in Mr. Buller's behalf. There are about 6,000 voters remaining to poll. SUSSEX (EAST). Yesterday, the election of two knights of the shire to re present the eastern division of the county of Sussex took place at Lewes. There was no opposition to the old mem bers, Mr. A. E. Fuller and Mr. C. H. Frewen, and butlittle interest was excited. Mr. Fuller was proposed by Sir IL Shiffner, and seconded by Mr. L. Shadwell. Mr. Frewen was proposed by Sir C. Lamb, and seconded by Mr. J. Elli man. Both candidate. were recommended for their unflinching adherence to protection at the time Sir R. Peel proposed hie free trade measure'. !Mr. H. B. Curtels, M.P. foe Rye, ad dressed the electors, saying he appeared there to chum the right of every elector to address the meeting, whether he nominated a candidate or not—a right which had been de nied to Mr. Cox, at Chichester. He expressed his regret that the liberal party in the county were disunited, so that no liberal could be rope's.% with any clones of success, and he would not bee party to a merely vexatious opposition. , Mr. Cox asked the candidates if they would support the ballot, and what they considered a fair trial for free trade. . that remiah Smith addressed the meeting, contending t the malt tax and hop duty ought to be repealed, and the farmer be allowed to carry on his business without restriction.—Mr. Fuller mid he would not support the ballot. —Mr. Frewen said he would support it, if he thought it would do away with bribery and corruption, but he did not think it would. With regard to the trial to be given to free trade, he thought it would not be judicious to attempt to restore protection till a great body of the manufacturers were convinced that these tree-trade measures were injurious to the country.—No other candidate being proposed, Mr. Fuller and Mr. Frewen were declared duly elected.—A persen in the crowd thereupon proposed three cheers for free trade, which were forthwith given.— Me. Fuller briefly addressed the electors, sayiag, be would do all he could to repeal the malt tax and lessen the farmers' burdens—Mr. Frewen also returned amnia. His opinions on protection and free trade were unchanged, but be thought the measure having tossed it ought to have a fair trial ; and he read an extract from Lord G. Bentinck's address to the electors of King's Lynn, to the effect that the farmers with wheat at 464. a quarter, and his present burdens, could not compete with the foreigner, but he would wait the com mercial and agricultural atmosphere was cleared. With that opinion he agreed. Thanks were then given to the undersheriff.—Mr. Cox said news had just arrived that Mr. Cobden had been returned for the West Riding. Three cheers were then given for Mr. Cobden, and the proceed ings terminated. FORTHCOMING ELECTIONS. CLONMEt.—The Solicitor-General, it is said, tried this borough in opposition to Mr. -Cecil Lawless, but retired, as he had little chance of making a figure on the poll. DUBLIN (COUNTY).—The conservatives are threatened with a sudden invasion, in the person of a repeal candidate. There is much confusion in the camp of Messrs. Hamilton and Taylor. GALWAY (COUNTY). Accounts reached Dublin on Saturday, of the death of Lord Dunsandle, whose eldest son, the Hon. Denis Daly, was a candidate for Galway. Mr. Gregory hasJuat issued an address to the electors, pronzielng all sorts of local improvements, such as the drainage of Lough Corrib, creation of a packet station, &c. Another part is his "constant advocacy of civil and religious liberty." It is not ualikely the Solicitor•Oeoeral will take the field, with Mr. Burke, the other whig candidate. TIPPBRARY.—Mr. Bagwell has retired, and it now re mains to be seen whether Mr. R. Collett will contest the county. It is more than probable he will not, and that Mr. Maher and Mr. Scully will be returned to-morrow without opposition. Mr. Collett's hope leas, that be would have slipped in between the contending liberals. WARWICKSHIRE (NORTR.)—Judging from appear a nces, this promises to be a contest somewhat remarkable in its character. to addition to Mr. Spooner, Mr. Newdegate, and Mr. Bracebridge, the Hoe, W. H. Leigh (son of Lord Leigh) has announced that he intend, to contest the county in the liberal interest. It is rumoured also that Mr. Dag dale will be put in nomination. The liberals are working hard, and there is little doubt but that Mr. Spooner will be defeated. MEMBERS RETURNED. ENGLISH CITI UNI' BOROUGHS, AND LSITIBS. 1 LICHFIELD: ABINGDON: Air P.

The borough elections for Ireland terminated yes terday, and the changes have been few and unim portant. The liberals have gained single members in Dublin, Belfast, and Portarlington, and loot in Kin sale and Athlone, thus giving them the bare majority of one. The counties, which commence the struggle to-morrow, are not likely to add much to the liberal majority, perhaps two. The case stands thus : three positive gams to the liberals, with one probable ; one positive gain to the conservatives, with a second possible. On the entire, the absolute liberal gain ' cannot exceed four. . . . A spirit ;i economy is beg inning to actuate the boards of guardians and gran d juries. In the latter it was usually the fashion to sacrifice the public to private interests, and, on the appointment of com collectors, to give them a shilling or so in the pound, receiving oftentimes very inadequate security. During the fiscal business which has concluded, greater pre cautions were taken to ensure security and solvency, as well as to cat down the per centage to a more moderate amount than formerly prevailed. In the payment of relieving officers, for which office the can didates are numberless, there is a due proportion ob served between the services and the remuneration. When this economy Ts more generally diffused we may expect our local bodies to operate more benefi cially for the general good. Mr. John Lambert, of Clifden, county Galway, ad dresses:the fishermen of the west and south, from London. lie says he has been for some months in the metropolis calling the attention of capitalists to the Irish fisheries, in which success to a certain extent has crowned his exertions. Within a few weeks operations on a limited scale will commence upon " a plan agreed upon by persons of high rank and capital in England." The scheme is not yet ripe for more general promulgation. As an incident to the above, I may add that the Irish coast was visited with immense shoals of mackerel last week. The gentry of Mayo have unanimously declined to seek for compensation for such portions of their lauds u had been taken for public works under the Labour Rate Acts. The amount they have thus abandoned to the rate-payers of the county is not Wu than 20,0001. SCOTLAND. EDINBtRGH, A U01.78T 7. Although ousted from Haddington, Sir D. Baird, as convener of the Edinburgh committee on the en tail laws, is preisewerthily bestirring himself in rousing the town councils and other public bodies on the subject. Some few episodes have occurred at the Scotch elections, and of these there deserve to be mentioned the call of Mr. Sheriff Alison, at the Lanarkshire hustings, for three cheers for Prince Waldemar—a call which the constituency would not respond to until the illustrious stranger came forward and showed himself in person. The next was a proposal emanating from Mr. P. Blackburn, that the electors should give three times three in honour of her Ma jesty's visit, which was done most lustily. Some constituency dinners are also going on. Mr. Fox Maule, Mr. Matheson, sen., and Mr. Kennedy, the defeated candidate for the Inverness burghs, are all to receive festive compliments. The herring fishery, which has been rather back ward, has taken a sudden tura at Wick ; in one day the extraordinary number of 20,000 barrels were landed. A few more days of such rifling of the " treasures of the deep," and the complements of the fishermen will be made up, and a great impulse given to the industrial resources of the north. PROVINCIAL. llenveer Paosrecre.-The reports given by the local papers relative to the harvest now commencing will be read with interest. From all parts of the country the most satis factory statements are received, and a selection from these provincial notices will afford some idea of the stock of food about to be harvested by the English farmer. CAM IlltlDOß antaz.-In the high parts of this county many farmers have cut the greater part of their wheat, which shocks thick, and will prove a good avenge crop; where the wheat is not laid fiat, the sheaves are heavy. Some few pieces of barley have been carted in excellent condition, a bulky crop ; and where it is flat to the ground, the quality is generally thin, but where a full standing crop, or a little leaning or bending towards the ground with straw of a yel low cast, always turns out a productive crop. The pea crop, where sown early, has been stacked in excellent condi tion-the straw sweet and valuable for the stock next winter. The bean crop is much better than was at oue time expected.-Cambridge Independent Prete.-- LASICASKIS.E.-The weather was most splendid dining the whole of lest week. The grain is everywhere changing its colour, and in some places has been already cut. The pota toes, though they do not improve in the places where they bad shown symptoms of disease, do not deteriorate to any serious extent-Lire , pool Courier.—EnsEx.-The crop will be a full avenge one, of good quality, and will attain 28 bushels per acre. The arley crop is unusually heave, bet, from the circumstance of much being lodged early, a large proportion will be coarse, and only fit for grinding. The yield will, however, certainly be greater than has taken place for several years past, varying, as it will, from five to eight querters per acre. The oats are only of average quan tity, and, in some districts, are even below ; but the qua lity will be good. Peas and beans arc only partially good. The potatoes have hitherto exhibited but little appearance of dimes) ; upon examination many of the stems have the ulceration near the bottom, apparent within en inch or two of the original set, but nature appears on all the early varieties to have overcome the disease ; nor has it been found to spread to any extent at present among the later varieties. This is to be attributed to the fair warm and dry weather, for it has been observed in previous years, that the attack has never been simultaneous and general until after considerable rain and a lower state of atmosphere . had ensued; and, although not entirely free from the dis ' ease, it is matter of great consolation to find that it is miti gated, so that we may hope this vegetable will become ulti mately restored, for, after all the attacks to which the utility of the net has been subjected, every one acknowledges its groat utility,snd that, in the event of its being lost no substitute could be found in any other vegetable so valuable to the poor as a prim neceseary of hfe, and to the affluents greet lexury.-- HEREFOnDeMIRIL-The grain-harvest is in active operation among the early-sown wheat in this neighbourhood, but some of the late sown is still looking green and backward.- Hereford faun's& —WlLTextue.-Reaping has com menced in many places in the neighbourhood of Devizes ; and in a few day., should the pretient_glorions weather co tinue, it will be ge, neral.— Sexy. -The wheat harvest has been commenced in this neighbourhood (Canterbury) and several other parts te r the county, the crops being in good condition and weight v; though we perceive an agricultural authority states thii • the general trop will not be heavy. The reaping of barley and oats has been earned on the gnat _into/04 and the cutting of beans during the rut re • days.-KenfniA Oeeerner WEST SUBSEX.-The wheat ' harvest has been begun by a number of farmers in then 'tinily of Chichester, and will become general this week; u `e winter barley and oats are also ripe, and ready for theset he. The general opinion of the grower is, that the crops are 1. tore heavy, and much more prolific, than ha especia fly wheat. The ti ne h ot weather for the lest three weeks has been most beneficial to the standing crops, and the fine wart a rain which set in on /Thursday night for several hour', mu. 't he highly beneficial is the turnip and potato crops.-Mar Exprese,-- Nonrotx.-The harvest is already Commenced. Thr general harvest may be expected to efiMmence in t h e early part of next week ; and it appears unques tionable that wheat, oats, and barley will be found to yield a full average produce, with the smallest possible amount of defective grains where there are Indications of the presence of blight or mildew. The bean and pea crops ap pear to be snore seriously affected ; fiat, by reason of le glutinous and adhesive substance tonally plied ho- --- r • ...e• from the pre erii:e of green and black aphides ; but, even in this caw we are not quite sure that the amount of injury has cot lima greatly over-rated. The worst feature a the present mama that which appertains to the potato crop. We never re member to have seen so large a - breadth of land seeded with angel-wurzel as the present year affords, and certainly a mere perfect crop has never been exhibited since the intro duction of that root. Turnips are almost equally unfailing, and the prospect with regard to winter provision in general is abundantly satisfactory.-Norfolk Chronicle, Aug. 4.- NEWCASTLE-01S-TYNE, AUGUST 6: The weather since this day be'nnight has been everything that could la wished, fertilizing showers haring fallen at intervals, which must prove of essential benefit to the growing crops.-Parza zoitotott, AUGUST 7 The weather continues tine foe bringing the crops of grain to maturity.
