ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. (Caiiiimiiii.fren the preceding page.) by giving their votei'agititst him afterwards, to make the greater impression upon his forces. Whatever the cause may be, it is certain that several of the voters came up in Cap'ain Barrie's tally who plurnpei for Mr. Cobbett, and were received by his partisans, when they had done so, amidst the g reatest cheering. Shortly before five o'clock, Mr. Cobbett came upon the huaings,.anir was saluted with acclamations from the area in front, and hisses from the booths. He took his station in front of the hustings, near a post, around which he clung as usual, and from that position he kept up a sort of dialogue-with the persons who were imme diately under him. Some of the men said that they would sooner do any thing than that the Captain should come in. Mr. CoBBIITT—By G—, but its certain though Green can't conic in, and if I don't come in, the Captain will. Bot ohseive 11.)w we will ride over them on Monday morning, or, at fatthest, on Wednesday. Keep steldy, and we'll beat them in spite of all their traps and con trivances. th it scantlings, and deal boards—( Cheers and langhter from the area.)-oh, oh, don't laugh ; its a great crime to laugh in pretence of the Captain.—. FPere Mr. C. noddej to the crowd, and then peeped rom behind the post significantly at Captain Barrie. " See," said a voice, " how he eyes him. I—Mr. Cob bett: A cat may look at a King, you know, why may I not look at the Captain?—(Laughter.)—Pray don't laugh—,don't laugh at the Parliament, or they'll send you abroad for seven years; and if you laugh a second time, they'll send you abroad for your life—(A laugh.) See how we shall come upon 'cm next week, in spite of their fortifications; there is a regular bastion (pointing to the barriers before the hustings through which the tallies were admitted), look, here is a fosse, there an embrasure= - never mind, we shall be at 'em on Monday. The Maros then announced the state of tit poll, up to its close of that day, as follows : Stanley Wuod Barrie Cobbett 94S 35$ 536 442 Mr. Zeer;sere- --- Four hundred and forty-two plumper.! A voice—" No, indeed. Go easy, Nlr. Cobbett—not plumper., you have had splits from the Captain.** While the Crier was adjourning the Court, Mr. Courts addressed the assemblage. Gewroastas-1 told you last night that certain of the masters were discharging their men because they voted for me. I hold in my hand the affidavits of three men (mentioning their names) who worked for John Paley, . Two of those were turned away because they said they would vo.e for me—and the other was turned away for having stid that he would not vote for Captain Barrie. My opinion is, that the man who turns off his work man, or who threatens to turn him off because he will • not take an oath contrary to his consc ence, commits a crime in the eye of the law.—(Great applause). My opinion is, that if the matter of these affidavits be true, they will form the ground of an application to the Court of King's Bench— and if trite, I promise you chat I will cause that application to be made. I promise to have those injured and oppressed men redressed.-- (Applause).—The men are here now present—here are the affidavits—l pledge myself that the application for legal redress shell be made, and if there be a law for punishing persons guilty of such offences, that puni,h ment shall fall on the wicked master, who could have committed such a foul act.—(Cleers).—Can there be in this world a more odious act of tyranny ? Suppose that it is not, legally speaking, a crime—but look at the act itself.—Consider the Cruelty, the injustice, the barbarity of a master coming to a workman, and tell -big him that unless he voted for the man whom per haps he detested,—who, perhaps, he thought and was convinced would, by being in Tarliamei.t, do more harm than he would good,—unless he voted for such a man, this master telling him he would dismiss him, and reduce him and his family to beggary.—(Cries of Shaleos.")—Never has there been in this world a mote detestable act of tyranny. I defy any man to produce me an act by even the Dey of Algiers, of more consummate tyranny. (Cheering). I say this to encourage you to resist the mandates of These oppressive in asters. I would be ready to share the last sixpence I had in the world, with the man who was the victim of such oppression. Last night I told you, in the face of young Horiocks, that in the rescript, bull, or whatever else these Cotton Lords may choose to call the address which he issued to you, he declined standing a poll, as he found that pro mists had been made by the elector a, and he would not have them violated. Ile did not know at that time that many of those promises had been made to me, but the moment he found out that, then he resolved that thos promises should be broken—then he determined to have those pledges violated in favour of his friend Captain Basic I stated these facts to his face last night, on these husting-, and he never dared to deny them—(Cries of " Yes, he did—you knot. he due) And yet that base, paltry, sycophantic lying thing, called the Preston Chrosicle—(lou mean the Pilot). — No, the Chronicle, says he did deny it. That base thing, that could hear what Mr. Stanley said of me—could hear all that very well, but had a deaf ear for my reply —that wretched thing—that reptile of ink and ditty paper, that creature said that Hoirocka denied my charge on the hustings. Did you hear hint ?—(Gut of " Nee N ) Mr. Wsteoceson (Editor tithe CAroniele).-1 certainly beard hint. Mr. ensnare —Nu ; you did not ; and yet weare told that when Horrocks attempted to speak his friends beg. ged of him not to do so. Why, he reminds me of the epi cArlilliAt was put over sonic vet y guilty person—tor the very same words may be used with iefetence to Horrocks, Lie still if you're wise, You're d—d if you rise. —(Great laughing). So his Is iends seem to think of Hor rocks—he's wise if he holds his tongue; hat open his suouth, and he's d—d. If Horrocks is here now, let him speak.—(Mt. Horrr:cks was not preset,.) Mr Consarr then having bid the crowd good night, withdrew from the hustings. and titer parading the streets, arrived at the Castle Inn, before which a large concourse had been collected. The Reporter for this purpose, on going into the room, where front the beginning be had been permitted by Sir T. &ever, so whom he bad applied (or the purpose, to take a place with other stranger., was met by Mr. Cobbett, who said to him," I don't want you beer, Sir—or any ate front that d—d lying Morning Hers/d."— The Reporter then retired. Mr. &whales, of Claughtou Hall, in this neighbourhood, bu requested it to be stated that there is no truth in the report of Mr. Cobbett having been received as a guest at his place. NOM H A NIPTON, Jena Is. The contest for the re presentation of this town is now drawing nearly to a close ; upwards of 1.700 voters have piesentesf themselves at the hustings, and to sootrow, or Tuesday at farthest, is expected to put an end to the scene of confusion which has been displayed daring the week, Since the comtneneeme•it of the poll, the cl , se of each day has brought with it crowds of " worthy and , independent electors," reeling and staggering from " pillar to pint," and by their conduct annoying the more peaceable portion of the town. The polling has been carried on with amazing rapidity; which will ap pear evident, when we "state, that, in MS, the poll lasted thirteen days, and since that time neatly 700 ad ditiOnal votes have been created, the whole of which will now be polled in seven days. On Friday evening, while Major Moberly was ad dressing the electors, some one in the crowd threw a pebble at him, which fortunately did not take effect, and the consequence was an immediate rash after the miscreant who had thrown it, and who, making for the head quartets of S'r Robert Gunning, the friends of Major M. followed him, and, supposing him to be one of Sir Rnbert's friends, made no ceremony in commen cing an attack on the windows of the George Inn, a great many of which were completely dem.lished.— Major M. however, went to the scene of action, and by h s endeavours order WAS restored, without any serious personal injury being sustained. The following was the state of the poll last night— Robinson 1315 Maberly 3105 • Gunning 944 OXFORDSHIRE. TO THE EDITOR OF TILE STAR. Oxford, June 19, 1826. As I before stated, the old Members will again be re turned. The state of the poll this evening is Mr. Asbhurst . 1305 Mr. Fane 1233 Mr. Stratton . 1056 At the close of the poll, each candidate addressed the immense multitude assembled in front of the hustings. The speech of Mr. Stratton leads us to believe that the poll will not be opened to morrow. I have kept my letter open until the post is just leaving. Mr. Stratton has this moment resigned. I think your paper will be only one having the intelli gence. The bells ate ringing, and great rejoicings are taking place for the success of Alt. Ashhurst and Mr. FMK'. - _ CAMBRIDGE, SCIMAY Evannea. The bustle and excitation of the last week have passed away ; the non-resident Members of the University have quitted the town, which bas returned into that state of quietnen which it usually ex hibits during t►e vacation. Mr. Bankes and Mr. Goulburn left here on Thursday, and the other two candidates on the following day. No public dinner to celebrate the return has takes place, nor was it expected here there would be, as it appears it is contrary to the established custom. The pickpocket, who was taken last week hi the Senate House, disguised as a Master of Arts, stands remanded by Dr. Webb, of Clare Hall, before whom he was taken for further examination. It appears he hired the gown and cap in the town, it being customary to let out gowns by certain of the trades-people, for the convenience of these Members who may chance to come unprovided. It is supposed a large body of London Artists were down here for the purpose of improving the occasion. The great body of them have now left for Huntingdon, where it should seem they have been very successful, for snit of a small party of live with whom I dined there yesterday, two bad been plundered, and one of the two bad, besides losing his purse out of Ms breeches pocket, also had his pocket-book cut out of his coat pocket. LANCASHIRE ELECTION, SAMMY, The election of Member. for this County hasust clts:d, and our old and faithful Representatives, John Blackburne, Esq. and Lord Stanley have been again returned. _ Some individuals had requested Mr. Nowell, of Un derley Hall, in Westmoreland, to offer himself, and he acceded to the requisition. The Sheriff had fixed yes terday for the day of election, when Mr. Blackburne was proposed by H. Bold Hoghton, Esq. in a neat speech, and warmly secunded by Charles Gibson, - Esq. of Quernmore Park. Lord Stanley was proposed by Lawrence Rawstorne, Esq. and seconded by W. Town ley, Esq. A Mr. Robert Jackson, of Lancaster then rose and said, " I propose Alexander Nowell, Lancaster, of Underley Park." Mr. Robert Totranley secerided this nomination. After the different Candidates bad ad dressed the Court, Sir T. D. Hesketh (who bad at the last election then stated it to be his intention to offer himself as a Candidate for the representation of the county when a vacancy occurred) said he considered the attempt made by the requisitionists very unhand- some both towards Mr. Blackburne and the county at large. Sir Thomas immediately declared his determi nation to support Mr. Blackburne. A poll was de manded, and the Sheriff adjourned the Court till ten o'clock this morning. The friends of the other Can didates were actively engaged in making the requisite preparations fur a poll; when Mr. BlAckburne's Com mittee were waited upon by a deputation from that of Mr. Nowell, to state that he had determined to with draw from the contest. _ _ . This morning the poll was continued for upwards of an hour, and no other Candidate being voted for, Mr. Blaeliburne and Lord Stanley were duly elected. REA 01 N Cl—Ssv Ems DAY, Minims% The poll opened this morning at t he usual hAinr(nine), and proceeded in a very languid manner until This hour (four), when the following state was exhibited Mr. Mooch . 174 Mr. Palmer . 414 Mr. Spence . . . 450 The morning has passed off very quietly, with the exceptions of the accustomed vociferations at the hus tings. The partisans of Mr. Palmer and Mr. Spence (between whom the run is) have been, both yesterday and today, in a state of the utmnst activity. Carriages have been sent to several places; but no persons from a distance have arrived to-day. Mr. Palmer bas polled several unexpected voters, as indeed has Mr. Spence; but the latter Gentleman tendered two who were re• jetted, while no voter for Mr. Palmer has met a repulse. The contest is most severe : sanguine eipectations of Mr. Palmer's return are entertained, as the returning officer (the Mayor) and the Town Clerk, about three hours since, voted for Mr. Spence, which it is thou'ht they would scarcely have done so early, had .not Mr. Spence been considered in danger. Mr. Wakefield still remains in the town, exerting himself for Mr. Spence. TO 'IHE EDITOR. Stn—An account of a transaction in which my name is implicated having appeared in your Paper, I appeal to your justice to insert the following explanation : During the heat of the election, it was mentioned to a Gentleman in my company (nut a Clergyman) that an individual favourably disposed to Mr. Spence, and en tirely disengaged, had been threatrned with loss of custom, if he voted against Mr. Fyslie Palmer. Thi. Gentleman was requested to make application to this ♦oter. I with abets, to whom I appeal for the truth of this statement, followed to the shop. Finding that the man was absent hom Reading, the individuals who preceded me addressed the wile. I withdrew into the street, when Mr. Marsh and a friend came up, entered the shop, and as they came out, he loudly, repeatedly, and in the coassest and most menacing language, de. nounced the clergy, as inciting persons to break solemn promises. I heard this charge repeated sever al times; my forbearance would have been construed into an ad mission of its truth. I was tkeiefote proirAted to giiie tht conscientious and unrtimv‘ c• 1 denial which I now repeat. Of the subsequent conduct of Mr. Malsh I will say nothing; for the fixed insult and the intempe rate language which he afterwards used, he expressed, And I sincerely believe felt, great regret. I at the same time avowed that I owed an apology to myself, for tl uvcourteons manner in which my contradiction was worded, and which I am persuaded would never have been used, had I conceived, in the exasperated state in which Mr. Marsh appeared, that a less plain and dis tinct denial would have been heard. When Mi. Marsh sub,equently tende , e I me his hand, I received it in per fect sincerity; and if I know my own heart, have now no bitter or resentful feeling for behaviour entirely un provoked either by my character or conduct, I would subjoin in my own name, and that of my brother clergy, our unequivocal denial of this and of all similar accu sations, and our asseveration that we have confirmed persons in their resolution not to vote against Mr. Fyshe Palmer, having so pronsi;-d, though otherwite favourably inclined to the cause which we think it our duty to espouse.—l have the honour to be, &c. Reading, June 19,1326. H. H. MILMA N. DROG HEDA. _ _ _ The election for DroghedaCommenced .on Tuesday. The candidates are Mr. Meade Smyth, the late Member, and Mr. Van Homrigh. A third, Mr. Wallace, was about starting, and actually proceeded to that town on the day of the election, accompanied in several coaches and four, with flags inscribed 14 Wallace and Independ ence," by Messrs. Grattan, A. Hamilton, Esq. as his Counsel, Agents, and several non-tesident freemen,when he found a second candidate had offtted himself in Mr. Van Homrigh, to whom the freeholders had pledged themselves. Mr. Wallace then addressed a letter to the Sheriffs, declining to offer himself, and returned to Dub lin. Mr. Van Homrigh, it appears, had no aokion of becoming a candidate, until many of the electors de clared on Monday that they would set him up ; upon which a correspondence of the most friendly nature took place between him and Mr. Smyth, which terminated at twelve o'clock on Monday night, in some misunder standings as to his intentions. He concluded his spetch at the hustings, on Tuesday, by declaring, that if any Gentlem conceived he had acted unfairly, he would give him personal satisfaction in a quarter of an hour's notice. The Sheriffs then bound both the part;es to keep the peace. The polling commenced yesterday, and at its close, at five o'clock, there appeared— For Mr. Meade ihnytk . Si For Mr. Van Homiiik Majority 55 . -11 WESTMORELAND ELUTION. APPLUT, Jusz 18.—The most active preparations are here going forward for the approaching contest. The Hustings are partially erected, and all of the in habitants are busily occupied in fitting up as many beds as it is possible for the houses to contain. There is scarcely a householder in the town who is not either Blue or Yellow—no neutrals. A person who belongs to neither party has no business at Appleby ; he can get no ancommodation, and when the contest has actually commenced, will run a fair chance of being starved. Upon my first arrival, I asked the waiter at the inn where I stopped, if it would be difficult to procure private apartments ? " Apartments, Sir !" he echoel, " Blue or Yellow ?"—.l What do you incur Are you, Sir, Blue or Yellow ?"—" I am neither." " Ah, Sir, f am very sorry for that, for if you had been Blue, I know some rooms that would exactly suit you."—" I am a Blue, by all means, my good fellow; just tell me where they are." According to his directions I proceeded to the brow of a hill, about a quarter of a mile from the town, and soon discovered the cottage to which I was recommended, and eoquired of an elderly Lady if she could spare me a furnished apartment? " Are you Blue or Yellow, Sir?" I was prepared for the question, and of course answered that I was Blue. " If that be the case, Sir, I shall feel happy to• accommodate you, although I risk offending the Committee, if they should hap pen to want my beds." After seeing the room, which was small, and not very richly fur nished, I ventured to ask the terms. Why, Sir, you see our accommodation, and can, perhaps, say what you are disposed to give. Beds will be very scarce during the election." I told her that I was disposed to give as little as possible, though I presumed that she would require more than usual for her apart ments during the election. " That, of course, Sir; some people ask a guinea a night, but we would endeavour to make you as comfortable as possible, and if you will pay us half-a-guinea a night for your bed, and hotel prices for your meals, I have no doubt but matter. may be arranged to our n.utual satisfaction!!" Whatever might have been my previous colour, I verily believe that I looked at that moment as blue as indigo. I found, however, that the Blues were resolved to live by their friends, and therefore determined to change my colours, and nuke my next adventure as a Yellow. I did so ; but, alas I the Lowther. had engaged every yellow bed in the town, three or four weeks back. To remain where I am is impossible, there being no less than four beds in the room where I sleep, all of which, except my own, are unoccupied ; but I hear that it is the intention of the landlord to put in two extra beds during the election, and to allot ins/ythree to each bed ! Thus am I situated between both parties, and have right good rea son to , exclaim with Menu/le, " A plague on both your houses!" Vitriol's opinions are afloat as to the result of the contest, and some bets have, it Is said, been offered that Mr. Brougham will succeed. Be this as it may, no less than twenty-seven additional names have been subscribed to the paper which contained the pro. test, if such it may be called, against his conduct upon the Catholic Question, and consequent determination to oppose his return for the county. About four o'clock yesterday afternoon he entered Ap pleby, and it being market day the town was tolerably crowded He made no attempt to address the people, but proceeded to the Castle, and moo after from thence to Brougham HAIL The Blues are about to establish a press at Appleby, to counteract the activity of their opponents, who are continually issuing squibs against them ; so that soon we may presume that the town will be fairly Inundated with them. MANCHESTER, hum 19. There has been a little rioting at Chester, but no serious injury has been done. It is probable that the report of Mr. Bethell's subscription may be premature, but I had it from the best authority. Many freeholders certainly prefer Mai to some of the other Can didates. _ _ The Committee of Lord Milton and Mr. Marshall, at York, have received information that an application war made to Mr. Bethel!, and that he had said In reply—" That he could not offer himself again, but that, if elected by the freeholders, he should be willing Its serve them." CORNWALL. On Thursday a county meeting was held at Bodmin, to nominate two members for the county of Cornwall. Mr. Tremayne was put in nomination by Mr. Buller, seconded by the Rev. W. Molesworth ; Sir R. Vyvyan, ' by the Right Hon. Pole Carew, seconded by Mr. J. T. Coryton. Mr. Pendarves was then proposed by Mr. W. Peter, and seconded by Mr. W. Rashleigh. The HIGH &MIFF proceeded to call for a show of hands; the show for Mr. Tremayne was considerable; that for Sir Richard Vyvyan was very scAnty ; the shew for Mr. Pendarves was immense, being at least thirty to one above that for Sir Richard. The High Sheriff announced that the choice of the freeholders had fallen on Mr. Pendarves and Mr. Tremayne. The announce. ment was received with loud and long continued ' cheering. All the candidates retained thanks. Thanks were then voted to the High Sheriff fur his able and im• partial conduct in - the Chair, after which the meeting was disso!ved. It ILUSPATION or Ma. TRlthlArsa.—lidch of the Candidates dined with his friends separately. Mr. Pend nil his friends occu pied ►he long ro•tn at the hotcl, which was crowded to excess. About eight o'clock, two Gentlemen, friend entered the room, and announced his deterral the poll.—lt is said Mr. John Gould intends at Lostwithiel on Tuesday, in order to propose notwithstanding that Gentleman's resigation, t• keep the poll open to the last hour.

The contest at this place arose out of an accidental interview a: an Inn at Marlow, on the Ist instant. between one of the inhatii. tants of that town and Mr. Wooler, long known as the F.diter of the Black Dual: On a representation being made to Mr. Wavle, that a candidate was wanted to oppose the return of the Messrs.

He left Marlow on that etrasui on Saturday morning, and returned on Sunday evening. bringing with him the clerk of the Soliciting of J. Merriman, E,q, Mr. Morrison was urged to be at Marlow as early as poonble on Monday morning, and assured that his election would be certain if he arrived by nine o'clock. Circumstances, however, prevented his arrival till the afternoon. On Friday the poll commented. The town was thronged to excess; and such a tussah prevailed, that it was found necessary to adjourn the poll to ten o'clock oa Saturday morning. At the final close of the poll that afternoon, the nu*bers an nounced were as follows: 0. Williams T. P.

LIVERPOOL. The Liverpool Papers state that the conduct of Mr. HusnissJs, and the explanations which he gave of his pilitical views and principles, have completely remora the erroneous impressions which had prevaled in that town in relation to the Combination Laws, and other measures of his adoption.
