Busn.ammaas—No accurate information has been received of them up to the time of our going to press. We have been informed they have retired into the interior. We are sorry to announce to the inhabitants of Hobart Town, that we have received information that it is the intention of Government to remove the Establishment of the Lumber Yard to Sew Norfolk. Thus is the long threatened removal of the seat of Government to be carried into effect. Private letters from St. of the 30,h of Slay, state, that the EZLItSitOt of Russia had issued a manifesto respecting some disturbances among the peasants in the interior; but they were not of a serious nature. Accounts from Paris state, that the Neapolitan Go vernment has dispatched a frigate to a port in France, with a quan tity of gold and silver to pay the Neapolitan Dividend. , Accounts from Constantinople state, that a Turkish ship of the line, commanded by ACIIIIIT Erevan!, had struck on the coast of Scutari. This is the third ship this skilful navigator has contrived to lose; his next loss, it is supposed, will be his head, though it does not appear to have been of much use to him. The Austrian Observer of the Si instant, received this forenoon, contains accounts from Zante ; according to which the Captain PACHA'S Beet, consisting of thirty-three sail, was on tht 3d of May seen steering towards the south, with a view it was supposed of attacking Hydra. It N said that a military Govern ment ha• been formed at Napoli, at the head of which is Coro o. ?tont. Piracy is on the increase, Commodore Hammon having received information that five lonian vessels had been taken by Greek pirates. The Naiad frigate, Captain SPINCIII I sailed from Corfu on the 17th May, in pursuit of these pirates. The Frankfort Papers of the Bth inst. in addition to long accoutre of Greek piracies, contain an extract from a private loner, dated Smyrna, May 5, which complains in severe terms of the rapacity of the Greeks. and their ill-treatment of all foreigners who enter their service. This letter states, that the Turkish fleet, lately equipped at Constantinople, will soon sato join that of the Capt. PiscHa, and that 8000 fresh troops have lately been embarked at Alexandria, intended for the Morea. THE ARMY. Six Companies of the 60th Rifle Corps have been ordered to march from Manchester for Birmingham. Rxvircr.—Monday, the 9th Lancers, at present stationed in Glas gow and places adjacent, were reviewed on the Green of Glasgow. by the Hon. Sir R. W. O'CALLAGHAN, Commander of the Forces in Scotland. The Regiment went through their various military evo lutions in high style, and in doing so afforded much pleasure to a very great concourse of spectators which the fineness of the day had encouraged to collect together. The number of carriages on the Green, filled with the beauty and fashion of Glasgow and its vici nity, was considerable. The Bth Regiment will, we hear, be re viewed on Wednesday. NAVAL IN i ELLICiENCE. -_ Arrived off Brighton, the Madtlaine, Hans, from Ceylon, the Mauritius, and the Cape of Good Hope.

We arc happy to state, that the following favourable account of the state of the Duke of Yoax's health, was given by Sir Hissir itiLTORD, on attending the ltoyal Duke yesterday : That " his Royal highness had passed a good night, and was much better." The Royal Duke continued confined during yesterday, and received visits in the course of the day, from the Princess Au sun, the Princess Soma, and the Duchess of Gun:ors:ea. Mr. Secretary CANNING left his residence in Down ing st:ect, on Tuesday, on *visit to the Earl and Countess of Li. voiroot., it Coombe Wood.

In the Prerogative Court, yesterday, Mr. BAYLDON, nephew of the late Baron Woo*, applied to have evidence admitted that a legacy of ar5,000 made to him by the deceased, bad acci. dently been matted in a fair copy of the will. The Court acquiesced. The election for Shropsliite commences to-morrow. Sir ROWLAND But. and J. CRUM= Pituase, Erg. are ex pected to be elected. .

CITY OF LONDON ELECTION. FIFTH. DAY. Yestercl4y at the close of the poll the numbers were as follow : Mr. Alderman Thompson 4215. Mr. Alderman Waithman . 3280 Mr. Alderman Wood . 3158 Mr. Ward . 319.3 The Lord Mayor . 4931 Mr. Alderman Ttromvsos said it was utterly impos sible for him to express, in suitable terms, the gratitude he felt for the distinguished support he had received throughout the contest. They had no ordinary claim on his gratitude, and he could assure them in return that he would, if elected, do all in his power to pro mote their trading interests, to protect their municipal rights, and enhance the comforts of every class of his fellow-citisens. (Applause.) Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN said it was rather extra ordinary that he not. only maintained the same relative position on the poll, but had polled that day more than some of the other Candidates, notwithstanding the pow erful machinery that was set at work on behalf of some of them. There was ancther circumstance which also afforded him the highest pleasure, which was, that not a single Gentleman of the Society of Friends, com monly called Quakers, but gave him his support, be cause they all knew that he had voted again,t slavery. (A black man at this m..ment caught the eye of the worthy Alderman). Ay, and he saw an honest black face there, and he was sure if that person had a vote, it would las be his, for it was the cause of his fellow blacks which he had advocated. (The black man was raised on the shoulders of his companions, and held up to the public view. The poor fellow waved his hat over his head, and answering the recognition of the worthy Alderman, he exclaimed " Ay, Master, I would vote for you.") The worthy Alderman resumed, and relied on their support—if he received it, he had nu doubt of being placed in the honourable situation of one of their Representatives. Mr. WARD thanked his friends for their able support, amidst a mixture of cheers and hisses; but he could not but consider that they acted rather inconsistently; for when he was lower on the poll than he then stood, they granted him a hearing, but in proportion as he rose on the poll, their inclination to hear him seemed to declines He could account for this in no other way than this, that their pleasure at seeing him maintain his place on the poll was too much for their feelings, and they applauded without knowing where to stop.—(A laugh.) He was persuaded, that all the Livery and hitri.elf re quired was a little longer acquaintance with each other, in order to come to a better understanding ; and he was quite satisfied, that before they should have done with him, they would like him still better—(Cheers). The thermometer, he was glad to find, was still rising, and his hopes kept pace with it ; and if they only cow tinued their exertions in his favour, it ass a matter of no very great moment one way or the other, whether he was to hear his friends or they him, so as he was still kept up on the poll—(Cheers and laughter). Alderman WOOO returned thanks, and exhorted his friends to renewed exertion. The Loan Ilavon had but little to say to them—indeed, tie would have them attend but little to anything which here fell from any of tLe Candidates, but he would have them to look at the cha racters of the Candidates, and select the four best men. All he would add was, in the words of the motto of the City of Glasgow (let the result of this election be what it may), " Let the City of London prosper"—(Cheers). SIXTH (THIS) DAY. The Guildhall this day was unusually thronged, and a considerable degree of popular excitement was mani fested, probably owing to the rapid advance and he W ing on the poll of Mr. Alderman Wood by Mr. Ward• The latter Gentleman's friends were received with hissing and the voters for the former with much cheer ing. The contest is now becoming so severe between the Lord Mayor, and Alderman Wood, that is a matter of very considerable doubt which of the two will lose his election; as it is hinted that a coalition-in favour of the Lord Mayor will be started this day ; and if so, the struggle will be between Alderman Wood and Alderman Waithrnan. However, from the agitation and hurried movements of the Committees, it would appear they are straining every nerve in this great "tug of war." The quiet of the Guildhall-yard was, between ten and eleven o'clock, somewhat disturbed by the following placard, which, it is hinted, emanated from a " NJ Popery" Committee : 4 ' At a Meeting held this day, the 14th June, at the Roman Ca tholic Chapel (not mentioning which or where), it was unanimously resolved. that as Mr. Alderman Wood has proved himself the ' staunch friend of our Catholic rights and emancipation, we shaU give him our support. " Liverymen ! Let not Protestants triumph." The apprarance of this silly production, as may be supposed, produced great uneasiness ; and in an instant a crowd collected round the unfortunate placard-bearer, and soon laid him rrostrate. Ilis " Banner" was then seized, and wrenched from his very tenacious grasp, and sma‘hed into fifty piecrs. Some of the fragments were broken on the banner-bearer's head ; and he was shortly after seen complaining, in a strong Hibernian accedt, of the treatment he had experienced. All he had remaining of the banner of his employers was the long pole, which he held upright, and altogether cut a most amusing figure after his defeat. As the contest thickens, the interest is increased, and kept alive by new devices and mottos ; and the citizens appear to shake off their uneasiness, end become very animated indeed. The ac complished and beautiful Lady Mayoress appeared in her carriage at the Hall, and was greeted with tremendous cheers. The following is the state of the poll: TIN O ' CLOCK.

Lushington, Esq. and Lord Clifton ; the proceedings are given at great length in the Kentish Gazette. We abridge from that Journal. The election commenced on Friday, at the Guildhall, Canterbury, when Mr. JOHN DEA NE PARKER nominated S. R. Lushing ton, Esq. Alluding to the dissolution of the late Par liament, he said, its long duration was a strong and con vincing proof that the measures of Government have been supported and approved by the Representative Body, otherwise his Mljesty must have changed his Ministers, or exercised his royal prerogative by an earlier dissolution. As a corroboration of the general approval of the conduct of the Government, there has scarcely been throughout the kingdom during the whole period of the last Parliament, a meeting of Electors to instruct their Representatives; and as a further con firmation I may with truth assert, that in the canvass of my Hon. Friend (Mr. Lushington) in this city, many Freemen who were hitherto accustomed to censure the conduct of his Majesty's Ministers could not now with hold from them the meed of applause. These circumstances render the task which I have undertaken infiaitely more pleasing, and lead me to ex• pect your cordial concurrence in what I shall have the honour to propose. It will be unnecessary for me, therefore, to enter into any statement of the political conduct of my Hon. Fiend ; but I consider it due to him to observe, that if suavity of manners, and a gen tlemanly demeanour; if a high sense of religion, and the practice of morality ; if integrity of conduct and long experience in the duties and form of Parliament—if these claim your respect, I am sure they are possessed by him in an eminent degree; and I therefore nominate Stephen Rumbold Lushington, Esq. as a proper person to represent you in Parliament. Mr. BALDOCK seconded the nomination ; obArving, that he joined in all th:rt shad been said in favour of Mr. Lushington, than n how, he considered no indivi dual more highly qualified to fill the situation of their Representative in Parliament, to which he could not have a better claim, than that upright aria hononrable public conduct which had uniformly marked his poli tical life. Mr. BRENT proposed Lord Clifton, whose patliamen• tary conduct, he said, they had every reason to be satisfied with, his Lordship having uniformly shewn himself the 1 . , lend and advocate of their interests, of the interests of the country, of liberty, and of useful reforms. Mr. Alderman H. COOPIR seconded the nomination. He said Lord Clifton, upon all occasions, had shewn himself the zealous friend and warm advocate of area• sures bf retrenchm:nt and reform, of propositions in favour of liberty, and the real welfare of the country. Mr. Alderman 0. Fames, in a very few words, proposed - the lien. Richard Watson, as a friend of liberty, every way deserving the support of the freemen of Canterbury. Mr. Fowt.sa briefly seconded this nomination. Mr. LUSHINGTOY—" My first duty this day is to return my grateful thanks to my Hon. F: lends, who have in such kind and partial terms recommended me to your choice. " Having dischsrge4 this duty to them, I have now to perform that which I owe to you. To you, Brother Freemen, I am indebted for whatever inclination I have for'political pursuits. Your encouragement it was that, in 1807, first drew me from private life, and induced me to appear in this Hall. I then pledged myself sedulously to attend to your local interests, and to support those measures of Government which, in my judgment, should be considered most conducive to the general interests of tLe country. To the professions which I then made to you I have stedfastly adhered, and I defy the most critical or fastidious of my oppo nents to produce a single instance of departure from them. An affectionate attachment to the King's per son—a firm and open support of the Government as long as they deserved it, by upholding the Constitution in Church and State, were the pledges I then gave. Ir is because I feel that in fulfilling these promises. I have acted in unison with your own feelings, that I venture again to court a continuance of your confidence. " you have, however, a right to expect from me some account of the measures in which I have concurred as your Representative since I last addressed you. The period which has elapsed has been one of peculiar inte rest. After a duration of more than six years, Parlia tnent has closed its labours; and 1 have no hesitation in affirming that the result of those labours, upon the character of the Parliament and the Government, is to place them higher in the confidence of the country than at any former period. To have belonged to such a Parliament and such a Government, I shall always feel as a distinguished honour, and, as the source of that himour, I bend with the deepest gratitude to you. " The principles upon which the Government has acted, and the policy it has pursued in respect to Fo reign States, have been hailed by the warm and cordial concurrence of the people, as most conducive to their interests and most satisfactory to their feelings ; and hence arises that high station which this kingdom holds amongst the nations of the world. Upon a review of our domestic policy, I should be prepared to shew, in behalf of the Parliament and the Government, the same claims to your good opinion. " From year to year the public expenditure has been reduced, as far as was consistent with the due mainte nance of the safety and honour of the country, and-this reduction will still be carried on in the same spit it.— The public burthens have been in like manner dimi nished, and in the course of the last six years no less than twelve millions of taxes have been taken off. Some of the most important branches of the national industry have been relieved from heavy burdens, and the laws for the Trial by Jury, and the whole of our commers cial code, have received very important amendments. With the instances which I have thus briefly detailed of the measures of the late Parliament, I repeat, that I deem it an honour to have belonged to it, and to the Government with whom those measures originated.— I have new no new professions to make to you : I ad here to all my former declarations of principle, and if you should think fit again to confide to me the same high trust, I shall act upon them, and faithfully endea vour to promote the general prosperity of the country, and the particular welfare of Canterbury and its citizens." Lord CLIP rim, in returning thanks to those by whom he had been proposed and supported, observed ? that .when he was first proposed for the choice of his brother freemen, he declined giving any pledge as to his future conduct, considering he ought to go into Parliament, ii at all, tree and unshackled, and at liberty to act to the best of his judgment, according to his own view of what w .1 most conducive to the interests of the country. He had be, n in that way first chosen by them as their Re presentative, and he • now confidently appealed to hi Parliamentary conduct, as a testimony in his favour, to entitle him again to be plated in that honour a i, situation. The polling then commenced, and was continued ;t i evening ; it, was resumed the next day, and went c l with great briskness for Mr. Lushington, and wit► , con.iderable number for Lf•rd Clifton, but few . for Watson. At half past three o'clock the Poll was firm I T closed, when the Sheriff came forwsrd and antro❑ncrj the numbers as follows : For Mr. Lushington 66 Lord Clifton . 433 Mr. Watson . • 107 lie then declared Stephen Rutabold Lushington, Esq. and L. Clifton, to be duly elected. Mr. LUSHINGTON returned thanks, observing, e : p t he considered it the highest honour that could be ferred upon an English Commoner, to be returned al the Representative in Parliament of the Aletropcliti % l City of Canterbury. He had before observed, th t from the promises he had obtained, he was confident(' success, and the result had amply justified his Con.i. dence ; if there was one thing more than another f l which the citizens of Canterbury deserved the hiczh it praise, it was that they were true to their word, d!'d faithful to their promises. He thanked them for al:, further mark of their satisfaction with his conduct, i n again so honourably returning him to that stabon which he had so often filled; and looking to that tet timony of approbation of his conduct, which they 1 1 ,d thus so decidedly shown, he should with the same con. fidence ask it again at their hands whenever circum. stances called for it. He would not now detain them, having another ceremony to go through, but he %odd only say, that he should invariably observe the saint line of public conduct which had merited their appro. bation, and that he should watch over the local interests of the city of Canterbury with the utmost attentio and kindness. After the applause which followed this speech had subsided, Lord CLIFTON addressed the freemen, thanking them for hi; return, and promising to pursue that course of conduct, in unison with the principles of freedom which had ensured him their approbation. The ancient and accustomed ceremony of chairing then toot place, and was performed in grand style, in the principal streets of the City. _ _ The number of freemen voted was 1058, the greatest number ever polled in so short a time, owing to the excellent arrangPmet:s of the Sheriff. The following is a summary of the different votes : Single Votes—Mr. Lushington, s76—Lurd Clifton, 309—Hon. IL Watson, 25. Crou VOtes—Lushington and Clifton, 60—Lushington ar4 Watson, 25—Clifton and Watson, 59. YORKSHIRE. Mr. Bethell has, since his nomination, resigned his pretensions, which, according to the present appearance, will prevent a conte►t for the county. The cause of bis retiring is said to be, that the money which be expected to be raised by subscription is nor tuna. coming,and his own fortune is not so large as to justify his entering on a contest unaided. Mr. Beaten's determination is announced In the following letter— " Mr. Bethell's Committee-room, York, Jane 12. " Gentlemen—l have to acquaint you, that although Mr. Bethel! has this day been honoured by a majority in his favour, by a show of hands in the Castle-yard, he has determined, under all the cit. cumstances which would attend a contest in this great county at the present moment, to withdraw his pretensions as a candidate for its representation. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, " W. BEVERLEY, Chairman. " To the Committee of Lord Milton and Mr. MarshalL" OXFORD COUNTY ELECTION.

ToaSDAT Ettatto. - - - The Attorney-General 528 Lord Palmerston 07 Bankes 223 Mr. Goulburn . . • 202 WZDNICIDAT MORNING The administration of the bribery oath, and the up• roar to which it last night save rise, have produced an astonishing sensation in this town, especially as it Is known to have been levelled against those non-resi dents, who, it was supposed, would, as usual, stipulAtt for their expenses. No instance for years had before occurred of this oath having been tendered, and it Is understood that even now it was not at the desire ot with the concurrence of any of the principal residert Members, but was solely brought about by two mt. voters, who, immediately on the business being openrd , went up to the Vice-Chancellor, and insisted Om; oath should be taken. It appears the great body c: the Members assembled in the town, bad from the ht , : been indignant at the introduction of the oath, whio they considered to be a direct impeachment . of the: character and honour as a learned body, and there was no doubt that they wanted only an opportunity to re vent to their feelings on the subject. At eight o'clock this morning the polling ream• rnenced, with the same formalities as before, with the exception that the Bribery Oath was no longer required. l'he business, however, proceeded very languid for ill:e .first few hours, there being but few unpolled voters'" he town. About twelve ri'clock, however, this best'. ncrea:cd, and it is probable, when the London cuaciss rr ye, the polling will become as brisk as yestcrJar- At three o'clock the senate adjourned till five, when the polling was. resumed, and continued without any thing particular occurring up to nine, when a most extraordinary scene ensued ? A Gentleman advanced to give his vote, and on the proctor tendering the oath, ap- pealed to the Vice Chancellor whether or not he was bound to take it. The Vice Chancellor was understood to reply in the affirmative, upon which the Gentleman declared, that he considered the tendering of the oath An insult to the University. An immense shouting of " hear, hear ; it is, it is," immediately ensued, both from the gaaeries and the boiy of the Hall. The Vice Chan cellor quitted his seat, and walked into the body of the Hall,upon which some Gentleman got upon the table,and declared that he never was insulted in his life till that day, when he found himself called upon to take the bribery oath. Another Gentleman said, the voters had been treat ed most scandalously—worse than if they had belonged to the most corrupt borough in the kingdom. The very suspicion which the oath implied was a most goo insult. Several now began to speak at once, all, hog. ever, against the practice, and at last, having exhausted themselves, a getyral cry of " Poll, Poll" was made. This having subsided, the Vice-Chancellor again toot his seat, and the polling recommenced, but without any administration of the obnoxious oath. The rapidity with which business was now going on was astGnishing, as may be judged from the following state of the at its close at ten o'clock. i
