The poll was as follows: Foe Moe* Farmr 488 Wakefield Mr. Spence was thus elected by four votes. He did not, however, retain his post. A parliament ary asormittee unsea ted him for bribery and corruption, and Mr. Palmer was declared the representative. To both these gentlemen this contest was ruinously ex pensive. Mr. Spence never ventured to Reading again. He eat, however, for Ripon, in the short parluuneate of 1830 and 1831. In 1830 the conservative party brought forward a lead man, Mr. Charles Ros ell, a younger brother of the present Sir Henry Rowell, of Swallowfie Id-place, wines father filled the office of Chief Justice of the =ll:iCourt in Bengal, and whose mother was a c as i the last Earl of Whitworth. There was likely on this oonesion to be a fierce contest between Mr. Rased and the friends of Mr. Palmer, but only a very short time before the day of nomination Mr. Monek, whose popularity at Reading would have se cured his sae, soddenly expressed his intention of re signing, and simultaneously therewith appeared a handbill from Dr. Lasbington, offering him as a can didate for the representation of the town. The state of affairs, in consequence of this unexpected change, was completely altered. Mr. Palmer, being able to secure much of the @upped previously given to Mr. Monek, I was made safe, and the contest was now between the local candidate and the stranger, supported, however, by the weight of Mr. Monk's powerful recommends; don. The poll was kept open, on this occasion, for several days, and the characte ristics of the election were little better than those of the contest of 1828, when the worst practices extensively prevailed. De spite the Reform excitement of 1830 the local candi date carried the day against the stranger, the numbers being: For Palmer 62 2471 Rummell Lushington 462 To the parliaments of 1831 and 1832 Messrs. Palmer and Russell were returned without opposition, parties being in truth tired of these fierce and frightfully ex pensive contests, and, on the last occasion, beiNr sufil sisetl7 occupied by the struggle which was genii for , ward in the county of Berks, andof which Hr. Walter was the hero. Thiabrief narrative has brought us to the Teasing of the Reform Bill. As before remarked, no new element was introduced by that measure into the repttuntation Reading. The boundary fixed by the commissioners was the boundary of the old borough ; sad the Iran shies being reserved to the soot and lot voters, the I constituency remained nearly as before. It was not until the parliament of 1833 that there was destined to be a change in the representation of this town, and it then occurred in a singular way. The liberal party in Reading being dissatisfied with the sort of tacit compromise under which one mem ber of each political section had been returned in the two preceding parliaments were anxious to contest the town against the tory representative. There was, however, a difficulty and a delicacy about this, arising out of Mr. Frche Palmer's personal position. This gentlemen had been in earlyi th friend of the Prince Regent, and one of the ornaments of the gayest society of London. To have looked at m a at this period you would scares have thought it. Those whose whose memories serve them as to the parlisessatery minutia of some twelve years sines will bulges. recollect the tall gaunt figure of this yeasealle looking g'oetlemen, his legs clad in curious lama gaiters, and his head encumbered with a hat of gee aleph/shape as to look like a cocked hat rounded AM the points and flattened at the crows. The expsa she early life of this gentleman, sad due severe MP tests forMeading, had tended greatly to diminish Ids resources. There had been on previous tueashme contributions to defray the expenses of the liberal emu' in Reading, end it was well understood at this ems that Mr. Palmer was not in a position to eriesimese another fi tlyou costly contests, which he had 111 1 so gallanbefore. The liberals, therefore, ass a delicate card to play. There were several gandmsee anxious to stand, but the position of Mr. Muir, Its old association with them, his steadfast adheresta to the cause of reform, and his personal were all to be considered and respected. 7 171 11 : 1 the difficulties of the occasion were greatly modified by the appearance in the field of one of those gen tlemen who often rush in where others fear to tread, and bring matters to an issue whilst themselves un conscious of the effects of their proceedings. The can didate who thus came into the field was &Mr. Oliveira, a highly respectable Portuguese merchant in London, who appears to have been induced to canvass Read ing by some election agent, without himself knowing an esp r o ta of the place or the people. The party who his cause were the more extreme liberals in the town, who advised Mr. Oliver; that he most appear there as a thorough-going mdicaL T gave out et the same time that he was rich l Z prepared to spend any amount of money to secure the sat; and this declaration, and the bold front whisk I his party assumed, gave token of so exve a ow test, that it became a serious consider ation with Mr. Palmer's supporters bow far they could go on. A section of them, the younger and more ardent poli ticians amour whom were those the hest pe r onsll ani i attached to Mr. Palmer, at length e xpo an opinion that it was desi rable that that gentleman should give way. Mr. Palmer reluctantly seceded. Jut in giv ing this advice the party who offered it bed se intention of throwing their influence into the anis of Mr. Oliveira. They had another candidate is view, a man certainly calculated to do them credit— Mr. Serjeset Talfourd, a native of the town, who had risen to the highest legal and literary eminence by his owq abilities, without the assistance of birth or fortune. The merit of selecting Mr. Serjeant Talfourd as a candidate for the representation of his native place is due chiefly to a solicitor in Reading, who had always been his steady personal and public friend. It would be highly mo&table to Beading, could it I be _jingly said that the town returned Serjeant Talbert' simply from a sense of the honour he sadists upon it. But although there may have less some feeling in favour of Serjeant Talfourd as a townsman, it can scarcely be said that his gentians have been secured from the -prevalence of h a matiment. The three candidates in the field leleaf were Mr. Russell, the old tory member ; Berjeant Talfourd on the whig interest ; and Mr. Oliveira u a radical reformer. Mr. Russell's friends were more closely allied to Beckett Talfourd's than %what was called a the low party.", There was eon :seraa sort of understanding that the radical was out; and in reality the election was carried fa &ear et Berjeant Telfoerd and Mr. Russell, by a esmilwatlea el conservatives and whige. The num bers fat 1836 were: For Taloned , Rosa 441 denim 384 _ To the last candidate alone was this &t/ins an ex pensive one. Hie friends had launched him into great extravagandes, and altogether he is supposed to have spent 3,0001. in agency, treating, banners, music, and nob like charges. Mr. Russell spent about 1,6001. fferjeant Telfourd came in without any considerable outlay, his whole expenditure pro bably not exceeding 5001. or 8001. When the friends of Mr. Pysehe Palmer had time to reflect, and began to look beck upon the eircum stanoes of this election, it occurred to them that their old member had been somewhat unwomanly thrown aside, and that if he had been started his return might have been Neared perhaps u cheaply u that of fkujeant TaMud. The annoyance whith they telt at the Idea of having been "jockeyed" was consi der able, and they at once determined mite Qui omits that Mr. Palmer should stead again on any future vacancy. When the election came in 1837 that gentleman was consequently brought forward. A very close contest threatened. At first the candidates stood alone, but it soon became evident that neither of the liberals I could do without the help of the other, and therefore, OUR REPRESENTATIVE SYSTEM READING. Reading is one of the few towns which has been neither directly nor indirectly affected by the Reform Act. Whilst !fflerything else in the place has changed. it remains electorally in almost every respect the 141110 as it was 30 or 40 years back. The political feelisg of the town is the same; the eye tem en which its elections are conducted is the same; the boundaries of the borough remain unchanged ; the voters are, strange to say, nearly as parable the same numerically; and certainly the corruption of the place has not been in the least degree affected. The men have changed, but nothing else. Reading was a scot and lot borough before the Reform Act; and it always bad the reputation of being an expensive one. Political parties in the town were stated to a parliamentary committee in 1841, to be as nearly as partible equally divided. It was the Name years ago. Taking the Headirg elec tions from the commencement of the present century, it is quite carious to remark how the majorities have all along approximated to those of the present day. The members elected, too, have always been pre ferred for their local connexion. Every candidate from a distance, whatever his public fame and merit, is subject to a disadvantage. There seems to be no particular reason for this ; but it always has been s o—the choice of the Reading people invariably falls ea Be:WAN men. Mr. Shaw Lefevre, the father of the pree.entp22er, represented the town in several snecamave He • parliaments up to 1820, and was retired in that year, and Mr. I h rilVey . Muselt, of Coley Park, near Reading, wee selected as his soccemor. As every election from this period has its indirect bearing on the present state ci the town, it may be, worth while reeordine, briefly, the polls as far back so 1818. In that year the numbers were : For Mr. Shaw lams 623 62 • , Mr. C. lolhe Palmer I , Kato Thie was the maamencesient of Mr. Pyschc Pal ads onneszkra with Reading, and the election was iisdered g amble by a petition against his return, ea Ike round that he was in receipt of a pension fesjetemmen. Mr. Palmer, who was the repre e/ Na old Berkshire family, had married I=ll,llshilme, a daughter of the fourth Duke of whose children had been placed upon the list on ac cunt of services rendered by their Mse. l The petition did not hold good, arid Mr. eld sores being healed over, there was a substantial coalition @gaunt Mr. Russell. The result was favour , able to the Gauss, though by very narrow mojorities: the numbers being— For Talfourd Reran 448 and the conservative being consequently rejected by a majority of only 9, Mr. Respell presented a petition against this return on various grounds, calculating, probably, ma the oiled which would be occasioned by its expenses. He proceeded to a scrutiny which proved protracted, and entailed heavy costs upon Mr. Palmer, but which terminated by the committee ng that gentleman to have been duly elected. this was a most expensive election, though both sections of the liberal party s'rove te tender it pecuniarily as light as they could to melt of their candidates, and a portion of Mr. Pril mar's expenses were defrayed by subscription. On He ether side, however, there was far less regard to =.2indeed, Reading has usually been a more borough to the tOl4Oll than to the li berals, W n ii; " the absence of bribery, can generally win, as we shall have occasion by and by to show. The Russell party having assisted to return Ser pent Weird in 1833, f. lt much aggrieved at the 'petition between his friends and those of Mr. Palmer, which had ended in the ejection of their own represen lative in 1837. A conservative association was orga nised, and the tories determined, whenever an oppor tunity presented itself, to use their utmost exertions to oust Serjeant Talfourd. As it tamed out, this was eaeeedingly unfortunate for this gentleman. In 1839 the then Solicitor-General, Sir It. IL Rolfe, was ele vated to the beach. The whig government in those days could not afford to be beaten at an election. Had Serjeant Talfourd's seat for Reading been mews he might probably have been Solicitor- Geserel, but the Writs let it be clearly understood that they should oppose his re .ladies with all their strength, and as Sertearit Talfourd was by no means safe, the Solicitor-Generalship was conferred upon Sir Thomas Wilde.

But there was then less prospect thee of re-election for Reading, so the appoint ment was not filled up during the short remainder el the term of Lord Melbourne's administration.

Via smut Chelsea's local influence may be traced to his asentsion with the Doke of Wellington, who is a resident landowner of Berke, and with whom the noble viscount is connected by the double tie of affinity and marriage. The liberals at this election were unable to obtain any local candidate.. They mew guently sought for men in London, and through the instrumentality of a solicitor in Chancery-lane, were introduced to Mr. Thomas Mills, and Mr. William Tooke, of Russell-square, who commenced a maws at Reading with, es they believed, every probability that, at least, the first would be returned. Mr. Mills spent his mousy very freely and fought the battle with an evident intention to succee d as well as with apparent confidence in his success. Those conservatives, however, who were behind the curtain knew, as the day of election drew near at hand, that the liberal calculations were undermined.

Besides this, the corrupt voters were well bought up, at heavy prices, andever ything was made secure. All these I:duenessagainst the liberals upon the poll.

It set forth that Foss, extensive, and systematic bribery and corruption were practised and carried on by divers persons, with a view to their return, and that their retain was procured by such means,"—and it therefore prayed that the election might be declared null and void; bat, in order that no ease of retalia tion might be gone into, it refrained from praying for the seat.

SCOTLAND. MURDERS IN THE NORTH. The ancient Court of Justiciary, Aberdeen, under Lords Moncrieff and Mackenzie, was engaged on Wednes day with a trial for murder. Tn prisoner, James Burnett, aged 63, is a crofter and farm servant. He rented a small pees of ground at a place dolled Shalimar, about 36 miles northward of Aberdeen. For the lest six years he had hired himself to work on a faro, about half a mile from his croft, and was the only man-servant in the kitchen. He had eight children by his deceased wife, all of whom were grown up and in employment, one of the daughters being engaged in atteudieg her mother and loping the cottage. Bar nett was in the practice of frequently visiting his wife and daughter in the evenings after the work of the day was over, and oftesionally on Sunday; but had not slept at home for nearly two pars. About five years ego his de ceased wits lied a paralytic stroke, which to a crest extent her of the use of one side of her body, but she was =f i t T olove about a little, yet could never be trusted out of sight alone.

The arsenic was obtained— sa ones of white arsenic—on the Sonday, and on the Wed model following he told his wife that he would give her that night something to do her good. On leaving the house, after paying a visit to ft in the evening, he told his daughter to have a cup of Bose jelly or sugar ready for him to mix the powders with, sad also not to sit out at bed waiting for him if he were late in getting to the cottage. Re returned to the cottage about 10 o'clock, and said he meth give his wife the m ed icine himself, end at night, bonne he should not have time to attend to ft in the morning. The sugar and jelly were provide& and when alone with his wife in the kitchen bed, lie mixed what he called Dr. Wood's powder, end gave it to her while she was in bed. He told his da r e who then en tered the apartment, that he would that night with his wife, lest she should seed any iltan co under the endings. The daughter then went tobed, and understood that her father went lab her mother's bed, but without taking aft his clothes. In about a quarter of an hour the daughter heard her mother, as she thought, vomiting, or sick, and ran to the kitchen in her night clothes. There she found her mother very sick, retching over the front of the bed, and her father stamen with his hands resting on each other be hiad his back, and with his back towards the low smoulder ing Ike. The daughter assisted the mother, who was dread fully sick, but the prisoner appeared very allow, and co , oared over the matter vomited with mho.

He offered drily to go for a doctor, when his wits said—" I have done with doctors ; lem poisoned, I au poisoned! and the Lord reward them on earth who have done it." At five o'clock, a.m., the woman died. The prisoner then went to the farm and roamed his work as usual, but early in the day re turned to the cottage, and gave orders for the funeral to take place next day. This was done, end for a time all was quiet.
