The returns of Mr. Alderman Tuoursow, for the city of London, and of Mr. Dist for Leriminster, will, it is said, be disputed, on account of their ineligibility, by being Government Contractors. With respect to the worthy Alderman, we de not know whether or not he has any contract with Government at pre sent. Mr. BIM is, or was, certainly a contractor for the present lottery; and on turning to Mr. BUT es wot b on contested elections, we find the fallowing classes of persons dt dared disqualified or ineligible as candidates for a seat in Par.liament, namely, " Contractor (during contract, directly or not) with Commis sioners of Treasury, Navy Office, Victualling Office, Muter Gene van or Beard of Ordnance, or others on account of the public service. Contractor with Government; to furnish money to be re mitted abroad, or merchandise to be used in public service." The disqualification of a Contractor to sit in Parlia ment was determiaed in 1790, when Mr. LISTER WAS returned Member for Poole, in Dorsetshire, when the losing Members attempted to eject him, on the ground that some of his voters did ant possess the right rif election. —A Committee, however, decided, that he was duly elected, though his success was afterwards rendered abortive, by the discovery that Mr. Lam had been a contractor within the year preceding his election; and that the taking his seat would be attended with a fine of £5OO for every vote he gave in the House of Corn. snorts. Mr. LISTER therefore vacated his seat, by ac cepting the Chiltern Hundreds. Although the law is thus rigid against contractors, yet if a contractor with Government gives a year's notice of dissolving the contract, he is eligible. The criestiOn is likely to come before P4rli4ntent, when it will be detter mined. Ilamburgh Papers to the 16th inst. reached us thi, forenoon, but they do not contain any political intrlli gence whatever. The Hamburgh A,enibly of Citizens (answering to the Common Hall of the City of London) have made numerous regulations, but they are chiefly of a local nature. lly one of them the present Tariff .of Customs was prolonged with only one modi fication, viz. that consignments below the value of 800 masks ate to be exported duty free.

One thing seems certain, that Lord COGIIRANI would not proceed on so important an euterprize without a force sufficient to achieve something worthy of his naval talents and high courage ; and it is almo.t equally certain, that if he has such a force he will flutter the Turkish navies " like an eagle in a dove cote," and scatter destruction and dismay wherever he appears. In vain will it be for the Pacha of EGYPT to assembles new armies for the Morea, for he will either be unable 'to transp-It them thither, or have occasion for them nearer home; and as to the Ottoman Porte, he will probably be bearded in his own Seragliot; ,but all this depends on the armament and resources Lutd Cccn-' RANZ may possess. .:~•._ i lo 11,, AIAbQUERADE. The Masque of last night was got up as usual at the Argyle Rooms, under the superintendence of that High Priest of the Temple rf Good Humour, Mr. WRIGHT, of the Colonade. Having said this, it is almost unne cessary to add, that every regulation which industry, good taste, and experience could suggest, or carry into effect, to render it effective, and to add to the comfort and happiness of his potions, was adopted. In the de-. corations of the Rooms, the supply of refreshments, ar rangements of the music, accommodation for dancing, ventilation of the Rooms, and the adoption of every other regulation likely to promote the comfort and add to the hilarity of the company, the greatest liberality was dis played. Notwithstandesg the advanced period of the sea son, and the empty state of the town, the Argyle Rooms were thronged with company, amongst whom were se veral Noblemen and Persons of Fashion, who hid come to town purposely to attend this, the last Masquerade of the season. The characters consisted, as usual, of a motley group of Harlequins, Columbines, Turks, Jews, Christians, Kings,_ Beggars, Bishops, Buffoons, Soldiers, Sailors, Irish Haymakers, and Scotch fortune Hunters, Lady Abbesses, Nuns, Paul Pries, kc. &c. one of the last of whom performed his character so exquisitely, that even the admirable Liston might have learned something from him ; but, made bold by success, he could not content himself with prying into family se• crets, bet proceeded to dive into family pockets—here, after being successful for a time, he was at length de. tected, and obliged to beat a retreat, extremely happy that his impertinent Curiosity entailed on him no punish ment beyond a genteel kicking down stairs. At the usual hour, the Supper Rooms were thrown open, when the tables were discovered. supplied plentifully with all the delicacies of the season, including lees, choice fndu, &c.- A numerous company sat down, masks and restraint were thrown off togeehnr, and mirth and good fellowship assumed their,place. :The sparkling glass wap sons in requisition, aad brilliant ehaMpigtio, and brilliant wit, its ofspring, circulated rapidly round the tables. The; warmth of the weather gave, if possible, increased seat to this wit-inspiring beve rage, and the facinaations of thiscene combined:to keep the company together until long after Sol had put the drowsy Charley, to ht, each appearing loth to be the first to quit, sad thus put AA sod to the last Masquerade of the season. The account of the state or the Duke: f" YoRIC yester day was, " that kis Royal Highness continued better."

It contains the history of cleat dap spent by Henry the Third, with his Court, at Kenliworth. t and abounds in Images of the rude magnificence of the time, which set off and heighten the e ff ect of the main adventure. The unearthly agency is powerfully imagined ; " but we will not," says a late Review, by giving the solutioi, injure the effect which every appearance of the spectre, until the grand and fearful catastrophe is calculated to produce. The style is weighty as the subject; the figures, with which it is richly embossed, have a substance in them like quaint devices on a stately monument; and the general impression left, I 4 of the skill magnificence and august superstitions of departed years." Two of the Morning Papers state, that " In Kiri/cud- 4 bright General DUNLOP it opposed by Mr. FEROUSSON. of Craigdarroch, tle well known Calcutta Barrister, and the event is entirely doubtful up to this moment." Now so far from the event being doubtful at the present moment, it was decided on Wednesday last—an account of theielection appeared in the STAR of Monday, and Mr. Pearlman's name is in the Crown Office returns, copied by the said Morning Papers from the Gazette of last night. The arrivals in town this morning state, that within twenty miles of town there was, last night, much light-i ning, accompanied by rain. The thermometer this morning, at twelve o'clock, at the Royal Exchange, was up to SO in the shade. Thursday evening, as the Rev. Leonard Middleton, Rector of Great C.mberton and Little Comberten, Worcestershire, was returning home from Tewkesbury, whither he had been to attend a meeting of theSlerical Society, he was unhapi ily killed by a fall from his horse. His servant, who was sent to meet him, disco. vexed him lying on the road, quite dead, with his horse standing near him, at the bottom of a rugged descent, near the seat of C. E. Hanford, Esq. of Wollashill. It is conjectured, from the horse's knees being broken, that he fell in descending the hill, anti throwing the ua. fortunate Gentleman upon his head. dragged him, with his foot in the stirrup, until a gate arrssted the animal's further progress.

AIR. SECRETARY PEEL. It has already been stated that the Corporasion of Norwich has presented the Freedom of that City to, Mr. Secretary Peel, in testimony of their unfeigned re spect and gratitude for is the distinguished ability and indefatigable assiduity manifested by him in the dis charge of the impottant duties annexed to his high office," for is his punctual, vigilant, and impartial sui perintendence of the Criminal Laws; and more espal cially that salutary reform in our Criminal Jurispru dence;' and for 14 the improvements introduced into that truly constitutional tribunal, the staple bulwark of our rights and liberties—the Thal by Jury ; which cannot fail to transmit his name to posterity amongst those who deserved to be honoured as the great bene factors of their country." Tuesday, the 20th inst. the Mayor, Aldermen, She riffs, the Town Clerk aad Chamberlain, assembled at the house of the Mayor Elect, E. T. Booth, Esq. and after partaking of an elegant breakfast, proceeded to the Guildhall, where the Steward, the Speaker, and up wards of SO of the Common Council, had assembled. The Corporation then proceeded to the Council Chamber, where the Right Honourable Mr. Secretary Peel and J. Peel, Esq. M.P. were awaking their arrival, to be sworn in as Honorary Freemen of the City. The Oath of Allegiance having been administered to Mr. Secre tary Peel by the Chamberlain, he next took the Freeman's Oatb. The Recorder (M. C. S. °NUM Esq.) read the Re solutions of the Corporation, and in the most flattering terms presented . Mr. Peel with the ft eedorn of the city. Mr. Secretary Pan returned thanks in an eloquent speech, in which he said, " The manner of presenting this honorary freedom to me has been equally agreeable to my feelings. lam told that it is granted not solely on account of the situation which I have the honour to hold in his Majesty's Councils, but as the reward of what you are pleased to call my services on the subject of our Criminal Jurisprudence. On this ground, Sir, I regard the mark of your approbation as truly valuable; on this ground your, praise is cheering and animating me: lam glad to find that, of this important matter we take a similar view; that ivhilst you venerate with me our ancient laws; and appreciate the benefits derived from them, you still think it perfectly consistent with that veneration to Clear sip any obscurity that may lie over them, to remove any difficulty which may be found I to impede their temperate and prudent administration, and thus to confirm the impression of their excellence 1 1 in the hearts of the people." The oaths were next administered to 1. Peel, Req. M.P. to whom the honorary freedom of the city bed been presented, and be was also sworn In a freeman of this city. Mr. J. Part said, I have had so many opportunities of becoming acquainted with the independent spirit of the citizens of Norwich, that I receive with the greatest gratitude every m irk of their respect. Whether in the character of your representative, or as one of your brother freemen, i shall be most anxious to do all in my power to promote their interest. The New Mayor and the Members of the Corporation (accompanied by Mr. Secretary Peel, and Wm. Smith, ' Esq. and Jonathan Peel, Esq. the representatives of this [ city) re-entered their carriages, and arrived at St. ' Andrew's Hall about half-past four. They were loudly cheered as they entered this noble room, and ' .he organ struck up " God Save the King," and con tinued playing whilst the procession passed up the south aisle of the Hall. Here were assembled neatly sixty Ladies and Gentlemen of this county and city, I invited by the New Mayor and Mrs. Booth to partake of a banquet, which was of the most sumptuous kind. After the health of Mr. Peel and the re,t of his Ma jesty's Ministers had been drunk with the most rap tutous.applause, the Right Hon. Secretary retutned, ttanks, and said, " It would be an ungenerous return for your kindness were 1 to m ike this an occasion for in troducing the harsh and discordant subject of party politics. lam sure that my Honourable Colleagues , will feel highly gratified by the compliment you have paid them ; but I trust you will not think them so weak as to sacrifice their own honest opinions, and the interest of the country, for the sake of a little cheap popularity." The health of the Members for Norwich elected being drank. Mr. Sllll2ll acknowledged the compliment paid to his Hon. Col league and himself in appropriate terms. WILLIAM DRAPER.—At a rout one evening in St. James's-square, a gentleman was pointed out to Sir Wm. Draper as the celebrated Junius. With more boldness than discretion, the Baronet was deter mined to ascertain the fact, and in rather a commanding tone thus addressed the great anonymous I am informed, Sir, that you wrote the letter which appeared in to-day's Public Advertiser, under the signature of Junius: will you tell me whether you did or not?"— Really, Sir," replied the stranger, " that is a question lam relieved Crum the necessity of answei ing. If you believe your informer, it is needless; and if you do not, it is rather rude to fasten a suspicion on me from the information of a man you suspect to be a liar."—" Sir," retorted the officer, warmly, " Lord Talbot challenged Mr. Wilkes on a similar occasion."—" And you, Sir," rejoined the stranger, coolly, 44 may adopt his Lordship's example, but I shall not make Mr. Wilkes's conduct the standard of mine;' adding, as he Was turning on his heel ar.d walking away, " if you were to dispatch one Junius to-day, you would have another to encounter before the end of the week."

PRESTON ELECTION. Mos:DLy, J un 2e. The polling commenced this morning at o'clock. The Duke De Monte Bello aid hie fri#;ii appeared again in the liiyor's box to-day, o n th.e : retnt n from the Westmoreland Election. On Mr. Woodcock, one of Mr. Wood's Conpr:tte! conning up to vote, Captain Colquit said, .Ir. I teque , t you'll put the bribery oath to that man. Wooncocc—Then it nsust he put to every man round. The MAYOR—Don't be offended—l have seen it put 1.7 tft other side to the most respectable Gentlemen. I expect i: :o put to my own soo. . . . . . - . Wooncoce having taken the bribery oath, the polling the% p r ,. ceeded quietly and rapidly. —There are no dragoons in sigi: t 0: Hustings to-day. The dour to Cobbett'a booth is open to all Everything is tranquil. Voudoock. to whom Capt. Colquit put the 13: ibe-r Oat') a few minutes since, has just mounted a warch,.... e window, and made an oration to the Woodites—" tiemen, I understand that Capt. Barrie his sent a c t ' lenge to Mr. Wood—lie wants to provoke him in h g • —not a boxing match, Gentlemen, but a &lei. c ity , Cillquit, too, has challenged Mr. Wood. No, , (; en c e . men, is this fair? Will we let a Reformer ht put d in this way? (Husrza.) No; he absent fight—we wr , ll ',. . let him, but will fight for him in the lawful way, G t ., l . tlemen—we'll vote for him—we'll bring him in —and if the two Captains want to shoot, we'll give them tau. : to despair—well defeat them—and if they can't survive it, let them shoot themselves, or each other. ftr„,„,.. i Gentlemen, I Can't speak to you, I am so botbeted with joy. Not that I want words—no, 1 have w, xJs , gnat_ tiful words, if I could only recollect them ; 11; 4 , t dents and cleatness, Gentlemen, but I'm played devil with by gladness. Gentlemen, this day of odr triumph will go over the fire quarters of the globe —it will be seen by our posterity from one generation to another—it will be talked of in history—the History of Lancashire, Gentlemen, the very rorxt edition. Gentle men, remember what your fathers did b, fore you, remember what your children will say when you itie all dead and damned. The eyes of Europe, A Africa, and America, are turned upon you—upon you, Gentlemen, and John Wood I! England is looking up to you, and all Lancashire to boot. Return John Woud to the House of Parliament in Lunnan—confer mortal honour on yourselves, your wives, and ehilder unborn —and support the rights of Magnur Carter—put your shoulders to the glorious Revolution of 1638. and rhea come to me, and you shall get as gond a mug of ale as ever went into a freeman's face. Let your cry be, John Wood and Parliamentary reformation for ever." (Huzaa, huzza, henna.) We hear nothing this morning, but duels, challenges, and emits. Mr. Orator Woodcock's mention of the challenge was not quite without foundation, as will be seen by an account of the affair. Mr. WOOD, in one of his evening speeches, horn the window of his hotel, last week, alluding to the circum stance of Captain althea using the national flag in his procession, said that Captain Barrie bad no private tight to appropriate the public colours, and that such ap propriation of them by a patty, was unjust and improper. One newspaper reports him to have said, that st any individual to assume the national flag to himself :s a piece of the most presumptuous pride, and that the flag was thus disgraced. A consultation was held by Captain 13 . irrie's (lie ids as to the propriety of demanding an explanation in his name. But it was deterroined that, under existiqg circumstances, it would not be strictly etiquette in him to act the part of a principal on the occasion, and Capt. Colquit agreed to perform that office for him. On ule evening of the above day, Captain Magtiay, on the part of Captain Colquit, waited on Mr. Wood at the Red Lion inn, and requested to see him in a private room. He then stated the object of his unplrasant mission, and said he was authorised, on the part of Captain Colquit, to know if he had said that Captain 13arrie had di , gracci the national flag ? Mr. WOOD said that under the present circumstances he could take no other course than refer him to a fricrd; that friend was at present in Manchester, and he would lose no time in sending for him. Mr. John Edward Taylor (of the Manchester Guar dian), the Gentleman alluded to by Mr. Wood, ar rived in The course of Saturday, when a correspond. ence was opened by him, on the part of Mr. Wood, with Captain Maguay. There are various versions of the story, and one is that Mr. Wood gave a vet bal and afterwards a written denial of the words imputed to him. A friend of Mr. Wood's next, in a communica tion with a friend of Captain Colquit's, pointed out, in a newspaper, certain strong words r-ported to his been applied by Captain Colquit, on the hustings, :1 Mr. Wood. They were these— Captain Csmover—" This all arises from Mr. Wood's infanioas harangues--from the cowardly treachery of Mr. Wood.". Mr. Wood's friends requested that Captain Colquit would state whether he used the words ; and if he had used them, that he would evlain th.m a .vay in some apologetic manlier. Capt. Colquit being informed of this request, sent a letter to Mr. Wood, stating that he did use the expressions, and that he svnuld not retract one syllable of then:. This was bringing m.riters to a point; a message from Mr. Wood to Capt. Colquit was expected as a matter of course. The next morning came, but brought no challenge ; but in its stead the unexpect ed news arrived that Dr. Crompton had been with the Mayor, and got him to bind the inoffensive Mr. Wood to keep the peace, not only to Captain Colquit, but all his !Majesty's subjects, himself in the stun of 2,000:: and two sureties in 1,0001. each. Dr. Crompton and Mr. Baxter were the sureties. Captain Culprit was afterwards brought before the Mayor, but upon his giving his honour that he would keep the peace, he was allowed to depart. In the course of this day, Mr. P. Horrocks, a muturl friend to Captain Barrie and Mr. Wood, waited on tile latter, and after sonic conversation Mr. Wood consented to make the following declaration: I am not account'able for Newspaper reports; but I have no he sitation in saying that the report of my speech is inaccurate in man! important points, and that I did not utter the words as quoted the Chronicle. And I have further no hesitation in saying, that never said or meant to imply that Captain Barry had in any viA' whatever disgraced the National Flag; or that he (Capt. Balm) had brought up his men to vote against their consciences by i k price of bribery. June e 6. ../OIIN WOOD. The report in the Preston Chronicle was a copy of that of a London Paper, whose reporter observes, Pr himself, that had it not been for the unqualified denial which Mr. Wood has subscribed, that he used the ob noxious expressions, the reporter would h tee ventured respectfully to vincUcate the accuracy of the report. At three o'clock this obstinately contested election terminated, the polling having been kept in activity u n ti l the last moment that the law permitted it to be kept open. It was curious to observe the emulation of tle electors to come up to the roll. Oue nun preseutell
