The Horse Artillery were also on the ground. The troorff looked remarkably well, and their accoutrements were in fine order. The borers of the Cavalry appeared in good condition and in high spirits. Many of the evolutions through which the men went were p..riormed in gallant style, and some of the charges were capital.-1 The Commander of the garrison apressed himself highly pleased wi.h the appearance of the different Regiments. At the reviews were only preparatory to the grand spectacle which is to been the ltith, in commemoration of the victory of Waterloo, the attendance of spectators was rather thin. There was, however, a sprinkling of beauty and fashion on the Fifteen Acres.

The poll was yesterday interrupted by a most strange objection snack to the vote of the Commutes of the RICNIQUIR. The Right Hun. Gentlemen having tendered his vote for Mr Banns, Master Irate. of Corpus Christi College, who acted as Semester oil the part of Mr. Camomile, objected to the admissibility of the vote on the grasped that, as Chancellor of the Exchequer, he was engaged in the collection of the t . sod was therefore disqualified fron► voting at ' the election of a Member to s►rve in Parliament. 'the CII4IIICILLOR attic Excuseuse, as well as every other person who heard an oh jection of this sort started now for the first time, was not a little astonished at it. In vain he assured the Learned Scrutator that be did not came within the operation of the disqualifying Statute. blaster Lama still insisted that under the 7th %%racism sod Maim, which declared that no person engaged in the collection of tues.should b,. admitted to vote at the election of Members of Parliament, the Cat scer.cot of the Excitement was utterly disqualified from voting. Professor Mosoicses also argued in support of the objection. The Custocmaos of the Eacosaulta assured them that it was perfectly thread on their pan to throw any difficulty in the way of his vote on each grounds, and reminded them that the same Statute which disqUalitled Revenue and Excise Officers from voting at elections, also declared them Ineligible to sit in Parliament, so that if be came within one provl.ion of the Statute, he must be equally under the operation of the other. Nothing, however, could convince the Gentlemen with whom the objection originated; they prayed that time might be afforded to them for looking into the Statute and consulting the legal authorities on the point. It now became neces sary to send for the Statute in question, aod after consuming half an hour in poring over it and some other books, they declared that their intormatioo was perfect, and the Cs AAAAA Loa of the Recut was, who bad retired during the consultation, again came forward to bear the infliction of their arguments. As may easily be ima gined, be soon disposed of their attempt, and convinced the Vice- Chancellor of the absurdity of the objection. The Might lion. Gentleman's voce was then to►en ; the object of the opposing par ties, however, was probably to gain delay, and thus far they suc ceeded. Coupled with this extreme anxiety to exclude all Improper votes, we unarm refrain front noticing an effort made by these same Gen tlemen to offer the vote of a minor to the Vice Chancellor. On the Hon. Mr. MMUS coming up to vote, the Master of Clare Hall, who attended as Scrucacor for Mr. Hamm, asked if be were not under twenty-one years of age / Mr. Humus at once admitted that be was under age ; but Matter Lama insisted that, notwithstanding that circumstance, be was entitled, u Master of Arts, to vote. It was gravely argued that the Statute regulating the qualification for young at decimal; of Members of Parliament for the Univetuty merely provided that Masters of Arts should be admitted to vote, without malting any exception on the ground of aen-age. The Vice Chancellor, or course, rejected the vote. Although the State of the Poll was not yesterday altogether so favourable to Mr. BANICTS as could have been wished, ye: his friends by no means despond— well knowing, as they do, the circumstances which pro- duced the result in favour of M►. CA•INDISH. The numercus engagements to Mr. BANIUS entitle us to conclude that the poll will be greatly in his favour this day. Last night many of his friends, whum those no. toward circumstances invariably attendant on erections, had detained in the country, came forward; and this morning a considerable reinforcement of voters has gone down to Cambridge, all which induces the belief the the tide will be effectually turned, and produce a most triumphant result in Mr. ELtmcsis favour. WEYMOUTH ELECTION. —so-- Wsrmouv., Joss IS, No■ o•cwor. . - This morning the adj , uihed Meeting for the Election to be proceeded in took place at the Guildhall, in this borough. Sir E. B.' Sogsle , i accompanied by a large body a respectable and independei.t freeholder., 4i teilded the hustings. The Mayor, WILLIAIIII DEVENISH, Esq. ti,ving taken his seat. and the Court being openvi, me and said, that (as Mr. Davison, on the part of Mr. Montagu, had declined the contest) Sir E. B. Sugden, Knt. was duly elected a burgess, to seism this borough in Parliamen , which was ptuclairned with unbounded peal , of applause. Silence being obtained, Sir E. B SIMMS rose and returned thank. in the most handsome manner to the freeholders for the prompt and effectual support he h id received horn them—a support which had prevented a contest, and preserved the peace of the Borough, so essential to the pro.perity of the town of Weymouth ; and assured them he would endeavour to merit a con • tinuatice if their kindness by a diligent and honest di.- charge of his Parliamentary duties, and the most de voted attention to the interest of the Borough. After a few other observations, the Hon.Meniber concluded by proposing a' vote of thankslo the worthy Mayor for his u ? riglit and impartial conduct, which passed unani mously, amidst universal cheering. The Court was thee dissolved. At twelve o'cllck, Sir E. B. Swann was placed in an elegant car, decorated with purple ribbon entwined, with laurel, and borne triumphantly through the town, preceded by the Town Band, with banners and colours l IL iiig, attended by the Civil Authorities, and a caval cade of the Committee and Constituents, followed by an immense concourse of spectators, the air tesounding with deafening acclamations as the procession passed ; the Lscbas saluted the Member on the occasion by waving their handkerchiefs from the windows, bestow. ing on him their smiles of joy, which were returned by him in the most polite and gentlemanly manner. The Hon. Member descended from his car at Luce's Hotel, where the freeholders were invited to drink his I healthond were plentifully regaled with wine and other refreshmei.ts, as were also the populace opposite, on the 'Esplanade, bountifully supplied with strong beer. At silt o'clock SirE. B. Sugden,accompanied by his worthy 'colleague, Col. Gordon, set off for London ; the latter Gentleman having also been previously greeted With the hearty cheers of the freeholders. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT HEATH RACES. The second day at this meeting has always been looked upon SO' the least interesting, nor was there anything in the spurt or attends once yesterday which can at all distinguish it from former cams' slons. In fact, every thing was particularly dull, the horses, as se Tuesday, bring badly matched, and the races indifferently COSH tested. The only part of the day's business at all important MS the betting on the Cup, for which we give the odds below. It is' worthy of remark, that the four-year-olds have generally carried off this prize ; in the last eighteen years it has been won nine times by fouriear-olds, four times by three-year-olds, three times by five-year-olds, and twice by aged horses; the six.year.olds having been uniformly unsuccessful. The weather was showery for about an hour before the running, but cleared up before one o'clock, and continued so, with the ex ception of a slight shower towards the close. The Course did not show much company—the stands were not half full.—and every thing was flat. His Majesty arrived at the Royal Stand at a quarter past one, accompanied, in his carriage, by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland. his Grace the Duke of Leeds, and another No. bleman whose name we did not learn. The suite followed in the same order, and in the same number of carriages as before. His Majesty remained till after the Plate race. leaving the Heath about four o'clock. amidst loud cheering. The following were the prin cipal fashionable• in attendance : Prince and Princess Rsterhesy, Prince's Lieven, Duke and Duchess of Richmond, Duke of Rut land and the Ladies Mennen, Duke of Portland, Duke of Grafton, !hike of Doeset, Marquis of Cleveland, Marquis and Marchioness of Raster, Marquis and Marchioness of Conyughani and Lady M.

We omitted to mention in our last that the police were under et management of Sir Richard iiirnie, as.isted by the veteran I Townsend ; they were indefatigable, and it is gratifying to add shot their exertions prevented many accidents.

The case involved details relating to matters of account between the p ities. and other transactions of no public interest. A ',edict was found for the plaintiff for 1,9651. 12a. JONES AND ANOTHER. V. HUNTER AND OTHERS. This was an action on two bills of ezcharige for 3,0001. and 2,3031. drawn at Calcutta, in the year 1828. The delendants, James Hunter, jun.

James Hunter, jun. and Co." The Arrourreir GENERAL, for the defendants, stated that the bills had been given in respect of transactions in which the defendant Cannon had no interest, and that the credit of his name not having been pledged to the plaintiffs, the latter could not recover. The Learned Counsel auempted to make nut in evi. dence the facts stated by hum, but failed. It appeared that the defendant Cannon had been a bankrupt, and had pteaded his bank, uptcy as a bar to the action. Lord TENTZRDEN said, he doubted very much whe. :her the point raised by the Attoeney-General could be made by any person but the party aggrieved? and bere be de end int Cannon bad admitted his original liabi lity by pleading his bankruptcy.

London Sittings before Lord Chief Justice Tomas and a Coma mon Jury. • The Court was bccupied Eluting the greatei part of the morning wi h inidetem'eJ Causes. PRINCII V. LAY AND Wirt. This was an action of assault. Ttie plaintiff, at the time wl en the alleged assault was committed, was a prisoner within the rules of the Fleet Rison, and about to take the benefit of the Insolvent Act on the tollowing day. He went on the everting in q.: stion, in company with his attorney, his attoiney's clerk, and a creditor, to a public house in Fleet-lane, of which the defendants arc the proprietors, for the purpose of settling some accounts. Whilst there, they drank some half dozen glasses of brandy and wa'er. When the plaintiff asked to pay the reckoning, he found seven glasses were charged for, although, as lie thought, only five had been drank. He therefore rettasei to pay lot more than the latter number. The orb. r two. how ever, having been called for during the plaintiff's ab sence one or two occasion!, the landlord insisted on being paid for the seven, and seized the plai tiff's hat as a pledge. An altercation ensued, an officer was called in. and the plaintiff afteAwards recoveted pns. session of his hat, which he found on a cask. He was then about walking away with it, when, according to the testimony of his witnesses, Mrs. Lay caught hold of him, dragged the hat from his head, and gave him a slap in theface. For this assault he brought his action. For the defence two witnes-er were calied,who swore that the plaintiff's hat was knocked off in the bustfe,but so tar from Mrs. Lay slapping his face. she remained behind her bar all the time.
