If General Gascoyne is not really, and corporeally dead, he is politically dead, and I am anxious you should hear from an eye-witness the disfavour in which he is held. I have been a long time in Liverpool— twenty years—and have no vote; but I have watched attentively the progress of events, and I never saw a greater state of excitement than on the present occasion. Gen. Gascoyne has not yet shewn his face in public, and the words of Sir Francis Burdett may be justly applied here—" Corruption has gone on, until it has exhausted the means of corruption." Well—this " Empo rium of Corruption" is about to redeem itself. No ale—no money—no polling by tallies—and General Gascoyne is at the bottom of the poll, and, in all likelihood, his political career is near an end. In fact, if he have the common feel ings of propriety, he will no longer resist the unanimous feeling of the people, but will give way to Reform, and down with the Borouglimongers. The close of the poll is to-day : Roast .. 1384 Denison .. 1374 Gascoyne .. 405 He cannot, by possibility, overtake the other two. I sin cerely hope the example of Liverpool will add to the great cause of Reform ; but I blush for Scotland ! M. Bell retired from Northumberland by an advertisement as follows :—" I have ascertained that the current of opi nion throughout the county, on the question of parliamen tary reform, and the union of powerful parties on that prin ciple, render my success more than doubtful, I hasten to relieve my friends from the labour, and the county from the disturbance, of a contest, by withdrawing myself as a can didate for your suffrages at the approaching election."— We wish the Bankes's, the Chandos's, the Somersets, the Norreys, the Lygons, the Tyrrels, &c. had as much good sense as Mr. Bell, Mr. Munday, Mr. Keck, and some others. Pride will be their utter ruin. Mr. Russell, the gentleman who surrendered his boroughs of Bletchingly and Saltash, is to be put in nomination with Sir Hedworth Williamson, for the County of Durham. The veteran reformer, M. A. Taylor, retires from the city, after forty years' parliamentary service, rather than bear the ex pense of a contest between Mr. Chaytor, a reformer, and Mr. Trevor, a decided anti-reformer. This circumstance is deeply regretted. Bell having retired, the election of Howick and Beaumont for Northumberland is assured ; but amidst this triumph we, however, lament, and the world will condemn, the substitution of Trevor for such a man as Taylor. It is asked why Mr. Taylor does not coalesce with Mr. Chaytor, and this would assure both. In Parliament, no man has spoken with equal eloquence in favour of reform to Mr. Taylor. For what are the public subscriptions, if not to support such a tried man ? CHESTER, MAY 3.—We are happy in being able to in form our readers, that the meeting called by the anti-re formers at Northwich yesterday, for the purpose of nomi nating two gentlemen to serve this county in Parliament, who should oppose reform, turned out a complete failure. It was very thinly attended, and yet there were present ten reformers to one of the other party. There will be no con test for this city, as the faction who endeavoured to divide the reformers, gave up the ghost on Saturday last, in de. spair, when their leader formally announced his intention of abandoning every opposition to the return of the right hon, Robt. Grosvenor and Mr. Cunliffe Ofiley. There is some ap pearance at present of a contest for the county taking place. Lord H. Cholmondeley has declared himself candidate, but as he is opposed to the ministerial plan of reform, we hope it requires but little of the spirit of prophecy to foretell his fate. His lordship, we are informed, has been sent down by the junto of boroughmongers, who have formed them selves into a club in London, to defeat reform, and that five thousand pounds are at the disposal of his friends to pay his expenses. If this be true, and we have not the least doubt that it is, we hope that every honest freeholder in the county will manifest his indignant feeling by repairing to the poll at his own expense, and by voting there for Lord Viscount Belgrave and George Wilbraham, Faq. the two candidates who are pledged to reform. We are likewise informed by an intelligent gentleman from Wales, that Sir W. W. Wynne will be strenuously opposed. These are cheering signs. Let every man put his shoulder to the wheel. Lord Althorp is at present without any colleague for Northamptonshire, but Mr. Cartwright, a furious anti reformer. The freeholders are meeting every where in dis traction, and a deputation is gone to Lord Milton, offering to return him free of expense. 'this county, latterly so inert, displays as fine a spirit as any in the kingdom. Du RIIAM, APRIL 30. With respect to our city elec tion, we have but little to communicate.—Mr. Trevor is in the field, and has canvassed the town. Mr. Chaytor arrived on Thursday, and is expected to commence his canvas this (Friday) morning. Mr. Taylor has not yet come, but is expected to reach here to-day. Some doubt has been excited as to whether he will be deterred from going into a contest by pecuniary considerations. The point, however, will now be speedily cleared up ; and whichever way he may decide. there is no chance of the Marquis of Londonderry's nomi nee being returned. Should Mr. Taylor proceed to a poll, the friends of reform will rally round him and Mr. Chaytor in irresistible numbers. And if he decline the struggle, we know that a gentleman of splendid talents and high charac ter, a member of a family long and closely connected with the county, will come forward to rescue the city from the disgrace of again falling into the hands of an infuriated and disaffected peer, so soon after Mr. Trevor's " glorious de ' feat," as we observe the hon. candidate terms his late un expected and mortifying discomfiture. Mr. J. L W. Napper, Mr. Fergus O'Connor, Mr. Marcus Somerville, Lord Killeen, and Mr. Henry Grat tan, stand for Meath. Mr. Blakney stands for Carlow. Mr. BERNARD, Lord OXMANSTOWN, and Mr. WES TERRA, for King's County. The two former voted for the Bill. Mr. Louis Perrin, and the Lord HARTY stand for Dublin, both Reformers ; against Messrs. Moore and Shaw, Anti-reformers. Lord Brabazon, and Mr. J. H. Hamilton, for the County of Dublin. Mr. O'Gorman Mahon addresses Clare; and Mr. P. F. Nugent, Westmeath. Mr. Crampton opposes Lefroy, for Trinity College. Sir W. Chatterton starts as a Reformer for Cork, but Dr. Baldwin is zealously called for. O'Connor Don announces himself again for Roscommon. The Lord-Lieut. has dismissed two of his household,.who as partizans signed a declaration against the reform bill ; and other enemies of government and of the people are also to be dismissed the public service, and honest men put in their places. This is as it should be. Messrs Lambert and Sir John Blake, are the reforming candidates in Galway. Mr. More, O'Farrell, and Sir W. Hort, are the reformers at Kildare. Sir J. M. Doyle and Mr. Rochfort, reformers, are opposed by Col. Bruen in Carlow. Our old acquaintance Sir Edward Sugden has disap peared. Mr. Wayland, the husband of Lady Johnstone, sod a reformer, has succeded him. The affair has been ma- . seed snugly, and Mr. Gordon, Mr. Ure, and Mr. Dux eis,lsave been returned. Sir E. S. would not try his great interest in the Borough. • GENERAL ELECTION. O . GO tAI MABON.--ThiS young and ardent patriot left Dublin ea Tuesday wenninight, on his way to Clare. On posting into Nenagh, be was instantly recognised by the spi rited inhabitants of that town, who, to the number of several thousands, took the horses from his chaise and drew him, not only through the town, but insisted on continuing in harness for two mites of the limerick road, the air respond ing with their cheers. He arrived in this city at three o'clock on Wednesday, and after being loudly greeted by the population his appearance drew round Moriarty 's hotel, and receiving the visits of a vast number of his friends, he commenced a most successful canvass amongst the Clare freeholders residing in this . city, which he resumed on Thursday with equal success. He left Limerick for Clare about three o'clock, accompanied by his brother, Mr. Charles Mahon, and Mr. George Comyn, of Hollywell, and on their entering Ennis at seven o'clock on yesterday evening, nothing could equal the burst of enthusiasm with which he was received by all classes of the people, who would have gone out to meet him were they acquainted with his ap proach. The people, in mass, surrounded his carriage, and taking the horses from it, they drew their champion through every street in the town, the cheers of the multitude fre quently mixed up, " We will, we are resolved to support you ; who is the man that can oppose you in Clare 7 " O'Gorman Mahon thanked his countrymen for their recep tion of him. On Thursday the city of 'WATERFORD election takes place, when Sir John Newport will certainly be returned. A gentleman named Christmas, has been spoken of as his opponent; but Christmas, being an enemy to reform, may wait till Michaelmas before he is returned. DUBLIN.—Mr. Perlin, K.C., has addressed the city (see Advertisement) and the really respectable citizens are resolved, with one heart and soul, to follow the glorious example of London, and return none but reformers. Our private accounts from Waterford assure us that Lord G. Beresford will certainly be rejected by the independent and I high-minded constituency of the county of Waterford. The supporters of Mr. O'Connell can claim only half praise while they permit a Beresford to misrepresent their sentiments. — We perceive, by the Waterford Chronicle of Saturday, that' Lord George has actually had the temerity to call upon the electors by a public address to return him on tory principles. MEATD.—The freeholders of this county nean to do their duty, and have determined on being fairly represented, if we are to be guided by the great success which has attended Mr. H. Grattan's canvass. We have learned from good authority, that no doubt whatever is entertained of his return. The people aro most enthusiastic. On Friday and Saturday he canvassed nearly one-third of the county, and the assurances of support he received, exceeded, we are informed, his most sanguine expectations. At Ratoath, they took the horses from his carriage and drew him through the village amid the most deafening shouts of applause, and on Saturday, they drew him into Trim where it was known he was to have paid his respects to the electors. LINERICIE.—An effort may be made to, Appose Mr. Spring Rice in this city, but it would be a slicial failure, and a ludicrous exhibition of foolish conceit and self-suffi cient vanity, for the gratification of which a large price must be paid. COUNTY OF WEXFORD.—Mr. Lambert's friends are quite sanguine, and his canvas is represented as very suc- ' cessful. Colonel Chichester's votes on the reform bill have rendered him extremely popular. We have received letters from Wexford, conveying the gratifying intelligence that Lord Valenti', with the aid of all the boroughmongers and corruptionists in Wexford, has not the slightest•chance of success. His defeat will be a glorious triumph to the friends of freedom. KERRY.—The enemies of reform dare not show them selves in this county ; all the candidates who have an nounced themselves are advocates of the reform bill. The following is from the Clare Sentinel :—" Mr. John O'Connell, of Grena, is said to be actively canvassing the freeholders. No county in Ireland will be better represented than Kerry, if it returns him and Mr. Bernard, and few will bear'a comparison with that choice. CsaLow COUNTT.—We have to announce an act of almost incredible treachery committed by Sir Thomas Butler against the cause of the King and the people. He has at tually resigned in favour of Mr. Horace Rochfort, who re fused to sign the Carlow requisition in favour of Reform ! He who came forward on Reform, to whom Sir John M. Doyle generously and disinterestedly resigned his preten sions, for whom the Independent Committee made such ex ertions, has deceived them. But this conduct will only rouse the spirit of Carlow to more noble exertions, it will kindle a fiercer patriotism. We are authorised to state that Sir J. M. Doyle's address will immediately appear.— For Mr. Blakeuey's we refer to our advertising columns. We have no doubt that Carlow will assert her honour against the stupid band of corruptionists that would disgrace her, and return those gentlemen. in Ireland generally there is every prospect that his Ma jesty's ministers will gain considerably by the election. We are sure of two reformers, excellent and trustworthy men, Brabazon and White, for the metropolitan county of Dublin. In the city we will not suffer ourselves to doubt of the suc cess of the Lord Mayor. Kildare will have two reformers in the persons of Mr. More O'Ferrall and Sir R. Hart. In Meath, a contest is threatened, but it is remarkable that the four candidates who have addressed the county, namely, Lord Killeen, Sir Marcus Somerville, Mr. Naper and Mr. Grattan, are all four reformers, so that whoever is elected, we shall be sure of two reformers. In Carlow Mr. Kavanagh has retired—Colonel Bruen, who voted against the second Reading, has been received with marked coldness. The electors speak of two new men, Sir John Milley Doyle and Sir Thomas Butler, or in the event of one of these gentle men declining, of Mr. Rochfort or Mr. Blakeney. In the Queen's county there will be a struggle to keep Sir Charles Coote out, and we have learned that this day, Mr. Kelly, son of Mr. Kelly, of ltathmiues Castle, near this city, has set off for Maryborough to contest the election with the honourable baronet. lie will be supported with all the in deikendent interest, and we understand has very fair Pro spects of success. There will be no contest for the county of Krilkenny, nor for the city, the present members, the Lords Ossory and Duncannon and Mr. Leader, all reformers, will be carried in without opposition. la Wick low there will be no oppwition, Grattan and !toward being sure of success. In Wexford county there will be a con test ; Mr. Lambert will be started against Lord Valentin, who voted against reform, with, we are assured, a certainty of a successful issue. The town of Wexfo-d will be also contested with Sir Robert Wigram, who came in the last time on the independent interest, but who, very scandalously, voted against the principle to which he owed his election. Mr. Walker is the new candidate, and, we doubt not, will succeed. In Louth there will be a contest ; Sir P. Bellew, Mr..A. Dawson, Mr. Shell, and Mr. Fortesque, are men tioned. The only persons, however, who have yet addressed the county is Sir Patrick Bellew. Mr. M'Clintock the la* anti-reformer, has not come forward, nor is' it ex pected .that be will. Mr. Shell is in England, but his friends aver that he will certainly contest the county. 'The • borough of Dundalk, however, will return whomsoever Lord Roden shall be pleased to select. Mr. Wallace, we are merry to find, has withdrawn his pretensions to Drogheda, and • rtb•re is no toe yet, that we beard of, pot in midnation GENERAL ELECTION. for the representation of that town, in op,-losition to Mr. North, who, it is needless to repeat, distinguished him self against reform, and abused, so very unceremoniously, the shop-keepers, to whom he will he obliged to apply for their sweet voices. The borough of Portarlington will return the nominee of the Earl of Portarlington.— The county of Longford will be cont e sted by Mr. Luke White, either against Lefroy or Lord Forbes: In Mun ster, Tipperary, we fear, will lose Mr. Thomas Wyse. Lord George Beresforn .has canvassed the county of Waterford, and it is said that Mr. Barron will contesi the county with his Lordship. Mi. O'Connell will come in without a con test In Clare there are three, and, it is now said, four can didates—Mr. M. O'Connell, Mr. O'Gorman Mahon, Major Macnamara, and either Mr. Vandeleur, or Sir Ede and O'Brien : sonic say that Sir Augustine Fitzgerald proposes to stand. In the county of Cork, it is said, thene will be an anti-reform candidate. In Kerry, the Kiiight hying te• tired, a new candidate is mentioned in the rorson of Mr. John O'Connell. In the North of Ireland; the forces will be divided, and about one half will be reformers. On j the whole, we have no doubt that reform will gain decided advantage in Ireland.—llereantile Adeertizer. REPORT OF THE BOROUGH ELECTIONS. THIS DAY. (Mini ' • Lnssel. liebrin. Leicester Carlisle Ipswicti Bridgenertb Ilarnatap:e %Warwick Sandwich I.vominqcr Coventry NVeyrnouth TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Sin— In printing the extract from my Tour, an error of the press has changed the year 1778, into 1788, and this would be fatal to my anecdote among the curious in the his tory of cotton spinning ; because, iu 1788 or 9, Sir Richard Arkright was Sheriff of Derbyshire, (three years after the impeachment of the patent,) and poor James Hargreave had then been dead ten or eleven years. The invention of the Spinning-Jenny took place in 1765 or 1766; and Mrs. Burgess, Hargreave's daughter, whom I saw, told me that the first had twelve spindles. She was twelve or thirteen at the time ; and in 1828, spoke with the clearest recollection of all the circumstances, directly con tradicting the various fables about the claims of others; but I speak on my own recelleCtion of the origin of the word Jenny. In the paragraph referring to Mr. Secretary Peel, the transcriber hats produced an ambiguity, by substituting he for Master Peel, the Secretary not being in existence till 20 years afterwards. By the moving crank, I mean the duffer, used in card ing, and so necessary to the important carding-machine, Hargreave's proven invention, of which, set aside Ark right's patent in 1786. He left the Jennies behind him in Lancashire ; but his co-operation with Arkright, Shipley, &c. at Nottingham, lay in perfecting the water frames, and their double rollers, in the contrivance of which Arkright bad at least joint merit ; for in such things Sir Richard was no mean genius. —My chief object in writing the notice given in the STAR, was to call attention to the beggarly condition of the children and grand 'children of 'a man, whose inventions have enriched this country in so surprising a manner, and laid the foundation of such princely fortunes in many individuals and families. I felt also indignant at the contumely with which humble applications had been treated by those who had so immedi ately and greatly profitted. Chelsea, May 4, R. PHILLIPS. P. S.—lt may add to the interest of this article to ob serve, that the same ingenious man was the inventor of the flying-shuttle, and his daughter told me, he contrjved it to relieve a son of his, who had a disease in the chest. I wish any printer who may copy the article from the STAR, to substitute, but they set them, for sent them. A full stop instead of a comma, is also necessary after the word chamber. Near the end, invention should be inventions. MEANING OF THE ENGLISH WORD COMFORTABLE. ' A pamphlet, entitled " Remarks on the Consumption of Public Wealth by the Clergy of all Christian Nations, and particularly of the Established Church of Great Britain and Ireland," published by Effingham Wilson, gives the following statement: CONSVMPTION OT PUBLIC WEALTH BY THE CLERGY Or THE ISTAIBLISHED CHURCH Or ENOLARD.
