ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. PRESTON ELECTION. THURDAY Mamma. The following is the copy of the protest which Capt. Barrie pr-sented to the Mayor yesterday, and on which the Mayor adjourned the Court: " To Nicholas G:intshaw, Esq. Mayor, and Joseph Bray, jun. nod William Nicholson, Esq. Bailiffs of the Borough of Prestos in the County of Lancaster. " in consequence of the vioknce and force which have been em ployed by the ..dherents of Mr. Wood and Mr. Cohbett, and by the aniphl meat of which my voters have been, and are now, viokntly assaulted, ind prevented from coming up to give their votes, I do bereby solemnly protest against your further proceeding to take the votes or tile Elector=, until peace and freedom of el,:ction be re and my vot•:rs be permitted to have free access to the hin ting. in order to give their votes. " Ruin! rsAmmt. " Wednesday, 21st June,lB26, quarter before one o'clock." We had n 1 speeches from the Candidates yesterday ve.ittg. Cobbea's - and %Vood's friends again assembled ris rp rising round the door of Cnts'lett's tally box neat numbers. and qnite excluded the voters of their typonen , . When the Court was opened, the Woodites ushed on t'.e hustings, and filled Wood's and Cubbett's tally boa; ' The Meeee—.Well, now I hope all is tight, allqitiet and peace foie ; if so, proceed to the poll. One of Captain Barrio's agents rose, and handed to the Mayor protest, simitartothe preceding wig. .1131.Nlavott having declared the proceeding very reasonable, the pollipg then corn , nenced ; and Cubbett's men giving their second votes to Mr. Wood, the latter, o' course. is polling two. and sometimes three votes to nne of qpissain Barrie'.a. In tbe.ecoarse of the morning some respectable friends nt Captain lssrrie aPplieJ at Cobbetes door for entrance to the hustings. and declined their intention, if admitted ' Co'nisetes tally boa. to give a vote for him.. They were asked to whom they would give their second—to Word ? No. They were instantly repelled with rode tics-, and menaced with violence, it they should dare to A ppro.!cii that do it again. Carain Durk having learned the fact, stated it to the Mayor, rad comphined again that the freedom of election was violated by the obstructions thrown in the way of his votes when coming to the hustings. The MATOR--4I I were to interfere to obtain a safe and free ad mission for voiers at one daor, I must obtain it for them at all the doors. If I were to throw open one, I must throw open all the avenue—(Applause.) The polling then commenced, and proceeded with tolerable regularity till half past 11 o'clock. At that hour one or Capt. Barrie's sets of voters marched from his tally room towards the door of their tally box ; they, were preceded by music, and a standard repre tenting an anchor. The crowd who stood to guard Cohhett's door took a liking to the handsome standard, set up a yell, abandoned their own door, and rushed 'at the C;ptain's anchor and voters. The Blues, unarmed aud few, took to their heels, beaded by the flying standard ; the Greens pursued them, overtook them, and proceeded to knock them down with their short' thick bludgeons. Cobbett'S rutfitns, in their eagerness tor mischief, obstructed each other. The majority . of the Captain's voters escaped into his door; among the •tist the standard bearer, who appeared so extremely itrniii,u - s to avoid the disgrace of losing his colours, and 4.lle . slight cirllateral inconvenience of getting a broken "litvidi that he was the very first to dart into COvkr—the foremost in the retreat. Tile Cobbettites and Woodites then returned to Cobbett's door, after three cheers, and ternised their watch and ward. A party of them, ;n .neir fe ocious exultation, had the audacity to rush into Vie Court-yard, where the hustings stand, and brandish tbeir weapons in front of the polling booth, within view the. Mayor. The Mayor ordered the constables to go theM. The constables looked at their ferocious i:,j,etlnae and thick staves, and then loaked at the and then remained just where they were—abso• I:nely awe I by the savage akSearance of the mob. Ciptiutt Nix*, stated that the civil power was overawedthat /A - voters Were prevented by force from coming to the poll, and ocmanded the presence of the military for them. • Mr. STANLEY made the same request, in his own name, and that of Mr. Wood. The MAY3R declared that the civil power was not sufficient to preserve the peace. The freedom of elec tion had been violared by the violence of an armed mob —an organized mob—a mob authorized by one of the Candidates. Though compel dto break up the Court yesterday by. the riotous conduct of the crowd, and having in his possession depositions which would war rant hisnin-hringing.in the inikary, he did not wish to introduce 'them this morning—he expected that the good seas...lad good temper of his fellow-townsmen wind return- He regretted the conduct of this day's mob as twinhabitant of Preston:. 'He lia.f . done every thing in.bia power to preserve the peace, and to give j.htsce to every party: (" You have, you have. He had tried every ordinary and quiet way of conduct ing the election. The civil power had been overawed in its own right. He had ieceiv.d a requisition from three 01 the candidates to call in the military. He bad that kind of force at hand, the strongest which the law lallowed. They were within call. if the people would not maintain the peace, be should suspend the polling, and adj burn the Court until he had such force as could sweet the irregularities of the authorized mob of rioters. Here followed confusion, altercation, interruption. cri mination, lad recrimination. Several minutes pasted L;:o: e order could be restored. The polling then pm :.:ejed. Several men covered with blood have passed the fruits of Cobbett's mobs attack on the standard. r.r-ritsr Tw person, attempted to make a Yech !sous Cobbett's hustings in the course of the con-, f ..io ; bite the MAYOR instan.ly interrupted him, and You are a stranger, you are not an elector, nor even an inhabitant of Preston.

Sir Thomas Lethbridge did not appear in the Court-house, nor in the town, during the day ; nor was his son, who accompanied him through the former part of the content to the hustings each day, to be seen. Mr. Dickinson wig at his post, and . was in con;tant con. versation with some one or other of his lium . )le friends ' during the seven hours of polling. Mr. Hunt was in and out of the Court-house and the polling booths very frequently ; sometimes inquiring into the qualifications Of the voters for the other candidates, and sometimes giving directions to those who had undertaken to bring up his troops, as to the future operations with respect to the grand effort he has promised to make at the latter end of next week. At Ave o'clock the poll-tlerka exhibited their books to the High Sheriff, who stated that the aggregate pulling was—. Mr. Dickinson . . 1224, Sir T. Lethbridge . . - . 3085 Mr. Hunt . . £36 Mr.Drocarsox said, he was as little disposed as any man could be to return thanks for the sake of speaking; he was in the habit of letting the poll speak for itself ; but there was something so extraordinary in the occur rences of this contest, that he could not hely addressing the worthy freeholders who had gathered t - sgether to show their respect for him. (Cheers). He felt truly ,gratefurfor the honour they had done him that day. M. Hu x r.— With y our p erm i ss i on , Mr .f High Sheriff, 11l ask Mr. Dickinson a que:ti in beft.re I tank my freeholders. You (to Mr. Dickinson) said yesterday, Sir, that you were in possession of some paiticulars of my private history, which particulars you threAtened that you would use upon whatever occasion you thought it expedient. Now I call npou you to nreption all those p4rtirulars publicly, and not to keep them to yourself until my back is turned. (Cheers and hisses). I am prepared to answer any charge, whatever it may be, this m-iment. Mr. DICEINS3W—Mr. High Sheriff, I did say that I was in possession of some information rel.:tive to the public and primate character of Mr. Hon% And I said also that I should reserse that informationjor any occasion on which I might be attacked. as I had been attacked at Bridgewater. I think I may say that lam in possession of the whole history of that gentleman's pubtic..and private character ; but I wish hires most dig tinctly to understand that I shall, in usi rg th'ose docu. ments, exercise my own discretion.—(Cheers and kisses ) At the same time I distinctly deny that I contemplated charging hint behind his back.—(Cheers.) Mr. Misr —.Freeholders and Ladies who do us the honour of coming amongst us! I am heartily sorry that our friend Mr. Dickinson has nothing better to do, no more useful labour to occupy him, than to pry into the private transactions of any man—(Cheers and groans.) 1 1 I very much regret that he has not been so much occu pied in attending to your business or his own, as to tender it inconvenient for him to employ himself in the un• worthy occupation of listening to the dirty tales of those creattu es who surround him—(Applause and hisses) I dare him to produce anything against me. He kuows my history, he says. He may know it; it has been long before the public—l have. written it myself—(Hit:es.) To be sure, I may have given it a little colouring— (Laughter.) But, .Gentlemen, I wiote it under circum stances which may he alluded to for my apology:— I again dare Mr. Dickinson to bring forward his charges. It is unmanly, it is ungentlemanly to Ilse threats: Let us hear what he has raked up in lis r‘spectable search after priv.te frailties. Let him do this at once, or sit down with the imputation upon him, that he is himself the fabricator of the history of which he speaks—(Cheering and hissing). With the exception of that pitiful threat, Mr. Dickinson con ducted himself in a most unexceptionably manner,'and he now repeats the threat. CA Freeholder : You called for it, Hunt—you dog, jou called for it). I called for the charges, not f-r the threat—(Cheers). . 1 am ready to hear what he h.s to say. Here I am, and here I shall be with you, tii:ntlenten, for a fortnight—(Laugh• ter and discordant noises). lam glad to pmeive that the effect of this information upon you is difFreat horn that which is produced upon Sir T. Lethbridge, whose lip quivered the moment it broke upr n his ear— ' (Tumult, and cries of "He is absent. - ) I told Sir T Lethbridge that 1 owed him and his brother Magi— ciliates something that I would pay off to them some day or other, for their kindness to me in the gaol.— Ay, The day of reckoning is now c me. Sir Thomas appealed ,to my humanity last night, for not conti nuing the poll ; but I hope my ears may be cut off, and nailed to the gates of that prison in which I was incar cerated so long, if ever I move from this place whilst the law allows me to remain here—(Laughter and cheers and hisses).. The freeholders are allowed fifteen days every seven years to express their opinions. There is not a freeholder in the county who shall not have the opportunity, and I only regret that they have not forty days, the limit of my so;ttary imprisonment, to give vent to those opinions and feelings—(Cheers and hisses: the former greatly pteduntinant). I !Intik it will be a difficult thing fur my wuithy antagonist, the Baronet, to gather together his scaitere.d forces, and I ant glad that Mr. Dickinson is satisfied with hi. 257 votes, although the number is not a third of what Ire polled at the last election. Mr. Sumer —Ay, but then he had to contend with a gentleman. Mr. HUNT said there had been nu more than 1,300 votes polled between the Whig and the Tory. A Freeholder— Why do you not poll the rest yourself? Mr. !limy said, because he had not the power of exercising one atom of unjust influence over the freeholders; 256 honest men bad done him the honour to come up for hint. Mr. STUCICILY said, he considered those persons who had voted for Mr. Hunt disgraced themselves. " The man," said Mr. Stuckey, " has abilities I admit ; hut the idea of his tepresentivg this county—good Goo! how could such a thing enter his head ? I ant ashamed to think flit. Ile might creep into Parliament for a rotten borough, but to represent this great county—good Gott! it is the greatest absurdity !" Mr. Herr—l'll try it, however, my jockey. —(Loud lataghte , ..) lir. STWALZT—The longer you go oil, the further you'll be be hind. Every man will bring disgrace upon himself who votes fur you. Mr: I-IcNv—One word. Mr. Sheriff: My friend Mr. Stuckey says he is ashamed. Look at him. Why, he has no more shame in his countenance than one of his own coal-barges.—(l.aughter.) bin. Sreccer gave three cheers fur time two old insmbers, and three cheers fur the Sheriff. Mr. WARKIIX, the Solicitor, gave three cheers for Mr. Stuckey, and three groans for Mr. hunt. The Court then adjourned. The moment Mr. blunt went outside lie addressed the crowd, I and proposed three groans for Mr. Warren and the ten of the attor nies. The groans were 19ud and long. CO V EN I' It Y. • The ceremony of chairing c...e new tepre,entatives of city took (Al Wednesd.ty lasi, wi►h thud) pomp and circumstance;. she procession, with music,' having passed.Arongh the principal streets, returned tol the King's Head, where the two Members addressed the people. • Throughout the whole of the ptneeedings, which occuried nearly fife hours, there was not one ni ance of disturbance. Indeed, the line of conJuct puisuei by the supporers of Messrs. Moore and Ellice was such as to pieclu.le all riotous behaviour, for those of them who are tradesmen shut up their shops, and left the ci y, and the mote htirAbl- class of them either retntiriel at li-une, or quietly looked on without any demonstration of their disappointment, either by word or deed. 'fire closing of the shops by the lasing part) had a curious effect, and certainly in a great degieei to ik from tlir joyo usness of t h e p agean t ; f or i nstea d o f , the windows being lined by females decorated with ribands, and waving their handkerchiefs, those of almost every othe , house had their . blinds down, and presented as melancholy an aspect as if it were a day of natiosral calamity. At six ti'dock the two Member, with about eighty Gentlemen, proceeded to St. Mary's Hail, where an elegant dinner was provided, and the usual quantity of eating, drinking, and speechifying was gone through. Thursday, abut 150 of the friends of Messri. Moore and Ellice entertained those tvo Gentlemen at dinner at the Craven Arms lintel. The dinner was on a very splendid scale. Among the Gentlemen present was the Spanish patri .t Quiroga. After the cloth hall been removed, and the usual roasts drank by the company, the Chairman ( 7 -- Alma's, Esq. of Anstey), pro- posed the health of Edward Ellice, Esq. which was drank with nine times • . Mr. Et.t.rce rose to retstrn thanks, but the cheering would not permit him to proceed for some minutes; 'when silence WAS restored he proceeded to observe that such as assembly as this assured him that the defeat they had experienced would only be temporary, and that the cause they espoused would and must ultimately he successful. In the cottese of his s i meech, be detailed and commented, wish much warmth, on the various acts do::e by the Officers of the Corporation during the pro gress of the election, which have been already before time public. It was, he continued, impossible to doubt that redress was attainable against such grievances and such misconduct, and he would try the question. The CtlaßY•x next proposed the health of the consistent Mr. Moore. Mr. Moots returned thanks. He said he defied ail the lawyers in Wewsuinster Hill to say that this was a good election; and be pledged lialiself both in person and in purse to persevere In obtain ing that redress which the laws afforded. Several other tows were drank, including the health of General Quire's, the Spanish patriot, who returned thanks tp French, and declared he had always been, and always would be, a ready advo cate and supporter of liberty with his sword. Mr. Moore left the room early is the evening, in consequence, as we are informed, of the dangerous illness of a daughter. COUNTY' OF LANARK ELECTION.

FA TA L Puenusx.---Joseph Painser, aged t 6, James Kendal, aged 14, Samson radar, aged 15, and Joseph Spring, aged 17, were indict. ed for the manslaughter of William Gage, ou the 9th May last, in the parish of St. Matthew, Bethnal.green. James Gage, brother of the deceased, stated, that on the 7th of May his brother (the deceased) agreed with Palmer to light hiss vu the 9th, and they accordingly met at a place called Hopetown, in a field : James Kendal was seconded by his bruther,and Palmer by the other two prisoners. They fought several rounds, when the de ceased slipt into a hole above a font deep, hut he fought sortie time after. The fight lasted above three-quarters of an hour, when his brother gave it up, walked away with him, and put on his clothes. He complained of weakness and pains in the arms and heart. He walked home, and then became insesteible, and was so all night; he, in the morning, was carried to the Hospital, where he died. CHIeF BAILOWSTAS it a fair fight? Witness—Yes, my Lord, it was. Cross-examined by Mr. Aunsews--Palmer was always reluctant to fight t►e deceased; he slipt into the hole when running back; they called hint " coward," and urged him on. By Mr. PRIMMILOMIT—KrucIaI was nut present when the btttic was made up. Other witnesses gave precisely the same account of the battle, adding that the deceased had the worst of it all through, and was frequently advised to give in, but be refused. W. Adams, a medical student of the tondos Hospital. stated that the deceased was brought into the Hospital and heed for about 12 hours. His death was caused by a pressure on ch.. brain, most probably caused by a fall, and not a blow—there were external bruises which could not have caused death. The Oder BAUM summed up the case, and the Jury found. the prisoner Not Guilty. Joseph 7itylor, agect49, was indicted for killingknd slaying Ann Taylor, his wife, on the 7th June last. Tfae circumstances of the case are brief' , these:—The prisoner is a brush maker, and was assisted, by the deceased, at KingslAnd ; they, on the night of the 7th instant, were drunk and quarrelled, when he beat her severely about the bead and stomach. She con tinued very ill some days after and died. Two meilital Gentlemen attended her before death, and examined the head aftetwArds, and found a vessel ruptured, but no marks of violence upon the scalp, and were of opinion that she died from the effects °flan intemperate or bad habit—she was continually intoxicated ; no blow certainly caused her death. The Juicer, upon hearing this evidence, directed the prisoner's immediate acquittal.—[Fer the Old Batley proceedings of yesterday, wide the last page.] NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
