PROPOSED REFORMS. GENERAL ELECTION. ....m....... TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Netbumberlasd. Wedmorelaid, awl Sussex, van be severely et...A_ Sift,-A recent writer, a contemporary of your's, after alluding to the late alteration of the weights and measures used in commerce, proceeds to make some humourous proposals for extending Parliamentary regu lation to other matters, which, he said, "called loudly for amendment." I am, like him, a philanthropist, and beg leave to follow up his plus by a few miscellaneous suggestions of my own. I propose, then, i 1. As a general election v soon to take place, the consciences of borough electors should be carefully guaged—if too capacious, reduced, and all restamped, aftrr being made of just measure. The price of sl4ts in P4rliament, too, has been hitherto rather unceitain, and should be fixed. 9 Lord Jame, Stuart intends opposing W. Lewis, Esq. the Member fur Cardiff, and it is expected the struggle will be very severe. Mr. Liddell's reception at North Shields, on Monday last, was quite enthusiastic. The Hoe. Gentleman addressed the freeholders at the George Inn, at great length, chiefly with a view to. explain his intentionsand views with regard to the Catholics. Lord Howick is now finishing his canvass for Northumberland : his Lordship arrived there a few days ago. Ills friends speak sanguinely df kis suseess. Sir C. Cole, the Member for the County of Glamorgan, will, it is expected, be returned without opposition. On the 1 lth inst. Colonel Torrent made a public eistrie into Ipswich. and addressed a large body of voters from a stage hooded by some waggons, which were prepared for the occasion, in a speech, in which he again *veered the rationally liberal principles on which be claimed their support, and proceeded to canvass *a town with great success. It is said that Lord Francis Leveson Gower will be chosen the Representative for the C..unty of Sutherland. William James, Esq: has dgnifted his intention to withdraw I himself from the representation of the City of Carlisle. Saturday sennight, Colonel Talbot, the senior Member for the County, arrived in Dublin. On the Monday he proceeded to the Hall of the Four Courts, and from thence to the C o m merc i a l Coffee Ilimm and Royal Exchange: in that city. General Grosvenor and George Wilbraham, Esq. of Defamer. House, Cheshire, made a most successful canvass last week of the electors of Stockbridge. No other Candidates have yet been named, or made their appearance there. Innnmerable conflicting opinions have reached us, foreboding a partial change in the representation of Plymouth. Many respectable persons assert, that a large body of the electors have just invited that active County Magistrate, William Langmead, Esq. of Efford leigh I louse,to offer himself, assuring him of support and Anal success. Tauttroo—lklr. Baring and Mr. Warm retire; Mr. Seymour, General ?cache'', and Mr. Cresswell, we understand, are eau didates. Mr. Seymour's election is spoken of as certain. CA LLINGTOMIIiII. Will, it is understood, will be returned for this place. Pdameow—Mr. Leonard offers himself for this borough. Baaurrares—The Candidates are Sir F. Ommanney and Mr. Hodgson (the present Members); Mr. Henry Alexander, and Mr. Alderman Atkins. 2. The Popkft Parliament in Dublin (1 mean the Catholic Association) having now proposed to itself a shortened sederunt, the two , great orators, O'Connell and Shiell, ought to be restricted in the length of their speeches, in conformity to this new order of things. The utterance of siz hours' nonsense each, at a breath, gives no opportunity to 'pouters of inferior note to say their say, w hi c h is cruelly hard. _ _ _ _ _ 3. The number of Ladies and Gentlemen allowed to ab•ent themselves from Ireland should be diminished, as also the amount of murders in that 44 fine country," in all times coming. 4. Apothecaries' charges are said to be a crying evil. Five hundred per cent profit is proposed as a fair sub si•ting (though, of course, greatly reduced) profit on their wares. Undertakers merciless charges had better .be reformed also. Their bills are usually read through a veil of tears, which dim the vision; and scrutiny is 'baffled there upon the rogue's escape. Should these Gentlemen prove restive, from having been pampered so long, it may become a question of prudence, whether we ought not to let the dead bury themselves ?. 5. Porters cart ying burdens on the narrow footways of London, and hackney-coachnsea in the carriage ways, are very unreasonable people: the first claim the privi lege of knocking" your head about," the others of running you over, and cursing you'aftervrards. I say they ought not to possess this double power, and should be made to give op part of it : for it is very-unpleasant to hear one's sweet soul d—d, or your blessed eye-sight bl—d, after experiencing great personal damage. 6. Ladies and Gentlemen ought to be reminded how much the street•sweeprrs contribute to comfortable walking. Very seldom do I see these industrious people get any thing for the pains they take pro bons public°. 7. Smokers of cigars are now to be met with in all our public walks. This is a nuisance which u has in creased, is increasing, and ought to be diminished." Some people do like the odour with which these gentle men taint the air withal, certainly; but I (and many besides) am very near-sighted, and hate the idea of having these fragrant little flambeaux poked in my face. They are generally to be seen in the mouths of fierce looking fellows, not very safe to quarrel with, whose faces are fenced•in *ith flourishing hedge-row whiskers, and hirsute thickets gracing (or rather disgracing) their lips. Good mine, they say, needs no bush; and surely a true English Gentleman may be recognized without the aid of these foreign abominations. I mean the moustaches : with regard to the. whiskers, I say no more of them, cot wishing tp disoblige the ladies; whom, by the-bye, (my hand being in) I implore to discontinue those ugly munches en gigot—in plain English, leg-o'- 31;113[1On ll:eves—but which bring to mind rather bloom sip oar It is in vain, that nature gives them shapely arms, and which are actually meant to be smaller than their waists, if the.e dresses declare the direct contrary. What perverseness ! 8. Writers should be enjoined to keep their tempers in controversy. Most of them, indeed, pretend to abhor and eschew asperity, and promise great things in the way of moderation, so long as there is no adversary in the way ; but no sooner does one appear, than their promises are either never remembered, or soon forgotten. 'S. A formal caveat should be entered against literary hacks tallting so much about drinking 4 champagne" and IA burgundy" after dinner. Every little scribbler now (although his mouth may often water in vain for a plain chop and porter) talks quite familiarly of dishes the most expensive, and wines the most recherchis, and as if they were things of daily consumption with them: e• our" this, and ig out" that. Bak lof all kinds of 'humbug, this is the most sickening. 10. The metres of Poets should be conformed to a correctly-graduated scale; and irregular styles, such as the Pindaric, 'ought to be discontinued. The nar rative couplet of iambic feet is proposed as the legiti mate vehicle of narrative poetry ; that of five, ditto, for the heroic ; and all hop, skip, and jump measures, such as Southey's hexameters, should be cried down. As for blank verse, being (in a sense) neither poetry not prose, neither land nor water, but like mud, a mixture of both, it is difficult to bring it within a standard, either wet or dry. PEKITI4-11ePresent Members, Mr. Grenfell and Mr. Stanton retire; the candidates art Mr. Barclay, Mr. Weeding, Mr. Fresh field, and Lord Perceval. 11. A notion having by some means or other got: abroad (though no doubt awry iN founded) that Re v ie.vers mete out unrighteous measure to the public and to authors, and praise or dispraise books just as patty-spirit, private envy, or the booksellers &hew, without any regard to their intrinsic value; the public, I say, having this notion in its bead, ought not these, Gentlemen to have the weights sad measures with which they are wont to try literary works- called in and scrupulously adjusted P I. I close with a humble request to those whom it may toners, for reformation in alpsuticular which in terests every loyel heart. So seldom does the Sun of Royalty shiue upon us, that I (and multitudes can say as much) have been six 'wilts the metropolis without once seeing his Majesty. In adjuring him to come oftener among us, I think olthewords addressed by the Hebrew Patriarch to his beloved son : " Draw near to me, that I may bless thee!" In the anxious hope that I have not intruded too long on the reader's patience, or on year space by these " Proposed Reforms," I subscribe myself, The Public's very humble servals, A. B. • r. The county of Somerset win be contested. • Mr. Henry Hunt having offered himself as a candidate, entered on his canvass, and is said to have pre-engaged all the inns at Ilebester against the day of election, in opposition to Sir 1 homes Lethbridge. Ease fterroas.—Mr. William DIMS retires; Mr. Madocks and Sir Roger Greaaley have been spoken of as the new candidates; the latter, however, it is said, goes to Benham. Tasserr.—Dr. 14isbington and Mr. Brougham, junior (the brother of the Banister) are candidates, on the interest of Lard Darlington. Mr. Cordon and Mr. M'Kellop on the opposing interest. Wm.t.a.—The present Members, Mr. Taylor and Mr. Tudway, are opposed by Mr. Williams, it incolnshire, and Mr. Edwards, die late Member for Glamorise. Settaiteese—Mr. guidon oars himself a candidate to succeed . Ceded Dorf, in opposition to the Norfolk interest. • Baneswason, we bear. will nut be contested, as reported. The respective friends of Lord James Stuart and Wyndham Lewis, Esq. the present Members for the Glamociasublre Boroughs have been sethrdy engaged in canvassing the burgesses of Swansea and Loughar. Mr. Guest, a great iron founder of Wales, comes In for lionkon, without optibeation, instead of Mr. Cust, who retires from age. S. R. Whin too, Esq. commenced canvassing his constituents at Canterbury, on Tuesday, with the best prospects of success. Lord Clifton commenced his canvass at Canterbury yesterday. Reading is likely to be severely contested at the approaching election ; Mr. Maack and Mr. Palmer, the Sitting Members, ea the one hand; and Mr. Spence and Mr. Wakefirkl, ou the other;, professing equalcoondence of success. HIBERNIAN JOINT STCCIC COMPAWY.A Meeting of the Hibernian Joint Stock Company took place yester day, when a Resolution (after some discussion) was unanimously passed. that it was expedient to dissolve the Company, and that a Deputation should be sent to. Ireland to consult the Proprietary there on the subject. A serious accident happened on the 7th inst. to a party of theatricals near Cockermouth. The manager hay ing engaged Miss F. H. Kelly w perform for a few even.. lags, the Theatre was opened for that purpose. The scenery in that neighbourhood being highly romantic, a party, consisting, of Mr. Munro, the manager; Miss Cleaver, of Cockermourh ; Mrs. and Miss Kelly; hired a jaunting car for an excursion to the beautiful water fall of Scaleforce, near the Cruamock Lake. They took the carriage as far as Buttermere, whepce they pro ceeded through the meadows to the Lake, across which they sailed to view the fall. and - returned to Buttermere to dine. At six the car Was ordered for the return to Cockermoutb. In descending the steep hill, near But-' termere, the horse started at a most furious pace, broke part of the traces, and the driver having lost all control over the animal, and the Lake being immediately be fore them, Balled to the party to jump out, to prevent being precipitated into it. This, however, Mr. Munro prevented; by assuring them that the only chance they bad of escaping, was to sit as firmly as possible. The driver, by pulling the only trace then left, succeeded in turning the horse aside, and drove the car with great force against the rock by the road side. The concussion threw the whole party out, and the driver b:ing seated most forward, was thrown over the ledge of the rock into an adjoining wood, his leg dreadfully shattered, and otherwise so seriously injured, that there is little chance of his surviving. Mr. Munro was likewise se verely cut is the head. The ladies escaped with some severe bruises, and the fright consequent on such an accident. Another horse and vehicle was procured, in which the party (with the exception of the pour driver, who was borne .on a litter), returned to Cocker Mouth, and Mr. Munro to whose presence of mind the whole party are mud: indebted, notwithstanding the injuries he had received. led the horse the whole way, to rre vent a rtclrrence of the kind. The following evening the - entertainments were for the benefit of Miss F. H. Kelly, who bad receiered sufficiently to perfnrm ; and such was the feeling excited, that had the Theatre been much larger, it would have filled. Miss Kelly, who bad previously ed the manager to give s ,. (pr the use of the drive r r e , c re e r st sbare of the previous nights of her en gagement, instantly added to it the whole receipts of her benefit, thus alleviating as much as possible the si mules of the unfortunate man. Wednesday, the notorious Tom Hynes was brought before E. LCCILYIII, Esq. on the complaint of George Gidgeon, Inspector of Hawkers' Licence% for hawking, paste hilaekiag, not having a licence: Tons h wAs fined 10i• which not being able to pay. - the Magistrate said; .4Tom, I must, I am entry to say. commit you once Owe."

A Detachment of the Slat Regiment of Infantry embarked on Monday at Pons mouth, for Halifax.

MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS. MAXCHIPITIM, 1410111 DAY EV111111144 MAT 15. In the little districts around this town, the local workhouses, which were previously the refuge of the aged and the afflicted, have of rate become filled with healthy women and swarms of children, who had hitherto supported themselves out of means furnished by manufacturing industry, until the s:agnation of trade had flung them on the parish. The most anxious in quiries have been transmitted from the London Chari table Committee, in the hope of discovering some new channels of employment for the people; but these have proved fi 'title's, and with the exception of some roads, and the working of the great rail-road, there can be little chance of obtaining the amelioration of the suffer ing classes, until more confidence prevails in the com mercial world, and more activity in the markets. The stagnation of trade here has to all appearance reached its maximum. Within the last week there have been large importations of cotton from America, and they ,have in some degree tended to prolong the very low quotations of prices in the market, which were other wise rather advancing ; but all who ean hold over, decline selling at this moment; and when it is known that three months ago orders were sent out to counter mand the previously directed purchases of the raw mate rial in the American market, and therefore to intercept heavy importations on disadvantageous terms, which would have otherwise arrived, there can be no very long prospect of a market so reduced as the present. In the mean time, the manufacturers are doing as little business as possible io making up goods, and the small stock on hand is fast reducing. Considering therefore, the home consumption, which must be always to a considerable extent in action, and the foreign orders which in many: beenches are now executing, there is reason to hope that before a few weeks elapse, the return of a better state of things will enable the manufacturera to afford em ployment on a larger scale to their workmen. It is gratifying to -learn that there are now no symptoms , evinced by the woiking classes (and I speak of the towns around Maechester as well as of itself) which are calculated to impede the natural march of this order of progressive improvement. That -individuals on both sides express some imitation is true, and must be ex pected ; but as hunger is the chief incitement, when that is appeased thdteturn of better feelings will become more apparent. There is - one thing, however, which has even at this. early moment developed its certain operation. Both the manufacturers andthe men are determined on an united effort next year to grapple with the corn laws. Upon this important subject, their minds are made up, and they hail the recent alteration merely as an indica tion that the Government will not, be passive when the time arrives, rather than as a bonus to the working classes. They are bent upon an unqualified revision of the whole system of - the corn laws ; and there is not a detached cottage in the most distant glen, where a spinning wheel tevolves, in which this spirit has not taken root, since the late extensive end urance by want of employment. If a stand be made next year by the agriculturists to tesist the revision of the corn laws, they will at least have a timely intimation of the enemy they must encounter, and the spirit which, before they can succeed, they must be sternly preparedro subdues Aft is now quiet in the surrounding districts, the fragments of broken looms, and damaged cloth and silk, are sell ing by public auction, preparatory to forming the esti mate of the damages which the neighbourhood must pay by assessment. It is. very difficult at present to calculate the actual loss incurted by the recent destruc tion of machinery, for no returns have been made; the coolist and best informed people, however, say that the amount which has been quoted in some of the public prints is a great exaggeration. There was a rumour of a riot in the vicinity of this town yesterday, which idle people swelled into undeserved importance. The fact is, that yesterday evening at the race ground, three or four miles hence, about thirty or forty fellows, who were said ) I know not why, to have come from Oldham, and who probably had got drunk on the way, amused themselves by attacking with sticks the people who were erecting sheds and booths on the race course for to-morrow's accommodation. This pastime became it length too serious, and the sufferers, instigated-by a community of interests, made, before it was too late, a combined resistance. heartily beating the enemy out of the field. and crowning the triumph with half a dosen prisoners, some of whom were this morning examined and committed from the police office. This, and the detection of some pickpockets. who availed themselves of the opening of the holyday week, are the only occur rences which - have disturbed the public peace here, and ,they are merely worth mentionlog to prevent the ex tension ,of' idle rumours of riots, which are devoid of foundation in truth. Great congregations of the people from the neighbourhood are expected at the race course i to-morrow (the Ist day), but no apprehensions whatever seem to be entertained that any advantage wilt be Wrest of this assemblage to revive those tumults which appear to be now happily subsided. , As a measure of pre caution, however, a strong military force will be sta tioned on the spot. A bnat, in which were eight persons, going to Green- wich on Monday morning, viz. two women and six men, was upset by the sudden rising of a woman' in the Isom ; fortunately they were ail picked up by some boats on the river.

Among other " sprees" of this HoUday.keeping time, the Lade of the Fancy had a lark af their own yesterday, which, though not of Brut-rate importance, either as regards the mew or the stake tbo contended for,turned out much better than could have been expected. Reed took up his quarters at the Blue Boar, St. Albans, Gaynor at the Red Lion in the same place, from whence, towards noon they moved to the scene of action, which is situated about four mihsi from St. Album. The ring was but thinly attended, and the ma. jority of persons present were countrymen. Betting was rather in favour of fleet.—About a quarter before one, Gaynor slayed his castor inside the ropes, followed by Jem Ward and Ned Baldwin. Reed soon after repeated the taken of defiAnce. attended by Tom Cannon and lUchmond.—Gaynor won the tow for sides. Round 1. On stripping,Reeil skewed the finest possible coodbion ' • Gaynor's .kin was rather of a pea-bag hue, indicative of late nights and saloon training. Yet, as be stood two inches higher than his antagonist, and was at -least a stone the heaviest man, the knowing Awns remarked that length and weight must tell. Gaynor com menced fighting by making play with the left hand at the body— it was neatly stopped. He then tried four facers, in quick succes sion, which were also turned of. "It is now my turn," said Alec, so he planted a snorter, which set. Gaynor winking like an owl in the sunshine. In a sharp exchange of hits, Reed received heavily on the mouth and skewed first blood. Gaynor added a couple more facers, when Reed, with a dealt left-handed hit, cut open his left eye-brow. After several heavy blows given and received, Gaynor went in and threw his man—(Load cheers, and cries of " Well done, Tom."). 2. Reed wished to render Gaynor's long arms less effective by getting bate close quarters - but Gaynor met him on the advance with two rattling facers, then went in eagerly, closed, and sent hint down through the ropes, all in a heap, like Jush Hudson in liquor. Two to one open Gaynor. S. A due trent for the beers of elegant attitude. Long sparring and cautious .manetsvrleg on both sides. Reed was hit twice en - the face. He raid right and Mk and Gaynor dropped. " Mind what you are after, Geyser, or you'll be the loser of the fight." 4. The men were on their mettle, the claret was streaming from both their faces, and the chum of the various parties who had opened their blunt evinced the Iglu to be all alive. Hard bitting occurred ea both aides, but Reed's blows were most effective, as they were delivered straight at the bead, and in a date he cut Gaynor's face in all directions—level fighting. • 5. Oa coating to the scratch, Gaynor exhitited many unsightly gashes on his face, which, had not nature formed his mug in One of her ugly moods, light have nullified his claim (or the figure to personal attractions; but Gaynor's countenance, like Jack *roe gines manners, can never be spoilt. After some manly lighting, with mutual advantages, Reed was thrown. . 11. The first part of the light had been is favour of Gem" a ; change had now occurred, and Reed was the hero .t the tale, as Gaynor's bad condition rendered him short.winded, and whey slow in kis motions. Reed followed him up sharply, when Gaynor closed, and got hint down by his superior ability in the wrestling art. " Well done, Tom," shouted Disk Curtis, "that is the way to finish a round, and finish your man too." 7, BOP. Lau of counter-hitting, and claret on boat sides; the permits of the enetbatants, and the clothes of their seconds, were suffused with 6, life's red stream." The ighting was cease most manly description—it was give and take, without favour, .feat, or flinching, till both felt the grass togetb r. 10. Gaynor's right band told four dints on Reed's bead ; and Alec, not to be behind hand is the use cf tie pepper-box, shook the cayenne with his left Mod in Toot's fair, till the lip of the latter projected over his herbs like a Quaker's broad brim. We pass to the psi round, the fighting in the intervening rounds having been ratbet in favour of Reed, and Oayoor being distressed by want of wind, and bad condition. Reed planted a tremendous right-hander in the ribs, Gaynor retreated "to the rotes, and Reed eagerly followed him up. Gaynor closed, threw him, and fell with all his weight upon him. 1115, 24,25. Gaynor's left hand was puffed up like a podding, and his face was really ft iginful to behold—he had also lost a front tooth, which fell front his mouth, and was deposited ha Jem Ward's ' pocket as a memento of game. Gaynor now had, however, men. covered second wind, and by the assistance of a swig of brandy, fought with meek virit. Reed appeared to " drop down upon hie luck," as he was not able to hit his man away, and Gaynor finished every round by throwing him heavily. MI, 27. Reed was fang offend Gaynor improving.—High odds were offered upon the latter. From this periodic the Mae-berth round, poor Alec, with the ' mit determlnedsmirage, strained every nerve to win, but Gaynor wank' net be deeded; hie wsperier wrestles abilities enabled Wen is throw Reed, sad his great weight gave effect to the fails. At length Reed was dashed with pick force upon the earth that Ms senses forsook him, and Gaynor was declared the victor, in one hour and ten minutes.
