The slow progress of the poll is to be accounted for by the frivolous and vexatious objections offered by the agents of Lord Lowther to the votes of the reform candidates ; their object evidently being delay. Sir James Graham, in his speech at the close of the poll, said—" It was now clear that the contest was merely vexatious, and for the purpose of putting the freeholders to trouble and expense: and if it should be continued, he would see what they would say at Appleby to this. If Cumberland could return four re formers, he (Sir J. Graham) could not see why NVestmore land should not return two." Lord Lowther was absent, having set off to Carlisle that morning; and a general report prevailed that he would not return. • LATER ACCOUNT'. DEFEAT OF THE (TREAT NORTHERN BOROUGH- MONGER.

Thus three of the " Lowther nine-pins" have been knocked down, viz.—one at Carlisle, one in Westmoreland, and one in Cumberland. The other six stand too deeply imbedded in the mud and corruption of Cockermoutb, Haslemere, and Appleby, to afford fair play to the people. The county of Cumberland, which has now so nobly eman cipated itself, has been 72 years under the influence of the Lowthers. GLOUCESTER, MAY O. / am happy to say, the glorious cause has gained an ad ditional triumph in this county by the resignation of Lord Edward Somerset. The day of elation was fixed for to morrow (Tuesday), but this evening a letter was sent to the committee of Sir B. W. Guise and the Hon. H. Moreton, Intimating that Lord Edward Somerset declined all further contest. Of course, the two reformers will be elected to morrow (Tuesday) without further opposition, but it is un derstood the chairing will not take place for a week. WORCESTER ELECTION, MONDAY EyzNixo. CLOSE OF THIRD DAY'S POLL. Hon. T. H. Foley. Hon. Captain F. Spencer . Hon. Colonel H. B. Lygon .. 694 The reform cause is triumphing gloriously ; the Lygon party are at the bottom of the poll, and, with all their wealth and aristocratic influence, will be unable to rise above the advocates of reform. OXFORDSHIRE ELECTION. OXFORD, MAY 10.—The election for the county of Ox ford commenced yesterday. The result of the day's polling was decidedly in favour of the reform candidates. At the close of the poll the numbers were— Harcourt . - . - 719 Weyland - - - 898 Norreys . - - 637 It was heard that last night would not have passed off without some serious disturbances; the " gown" being wholly in favour of Lord Norreys, and the retainers of his lordship, who parade the streets with his band, get drunk and cry out " Norreys and the Constitution," being not the most respectable or the most peaceable even of their own class. There was not, however, I understand, any eery riotous doings, although the large number of black eyes and swoln faces, which are exhibited to-day, afford utficient evidence that the night did not pass over without some tolerably smart skirmishing. Although Lord Norreys gained ground at the commence ment of this day's polling, he is still where the Reformers contend his Lordship will find himself at the close of the election,—namely, at the bottom of the poll. At half-past 12 o'clock the numbers were— Harcourt .. ... ... 976 Weyland ... .. ... 942 Norreys .. ... .. 812 At half -past 1 o'clock the numbers were— Harcourt .. . ... 1112 Weyland .. ... ... 1081 Norreys ... ... .. 876 It is confidently reported that Lord Norreys will resign to•night. AYLESBURY ELECTION. Tuesday, Half-past 3 o'Cloek. The polling was resumed this morning, but proceeded languidly, almost all the voters on both sides being ex hausted. Such being the case, it will be quite impossible for Lind Kirkwall to make any material impression on Lord Nugent's majority ; indeed it appeared to be admitted last eve ning, al a dinner of the Buckingham party where the Marquis Changes was present, that Lord Kirkwall's case was bupeless. The noble Marquis spoke of the possibility of Lord Kirkwall coming in for the borough on another opportunity, if unsuccessful at this election ; and Lord kirkwall said something to hearten his friends under defeat, and endeavoured to put the best face on the matter, by re ipiesting their continued support and exertions even now.- 111 the subject was treated in a despairing tone ; and, not -I..4:tending expresses were despatched last night to bring tip Londo n and other out-voters, the Tory candidate has no tilance of success. The Buckingham •• pocket votes," constituted Lord Kirkwall's main dependence, have tqt since been polled out, and I consider the election as vir tilily decided. Up to one o'clock, the numbers upon the day's poll were: Rick ford - 32 Nugent - 1 (21 Kirk% a ll - It dl be :een t h at L or d N ugent ' s previous majority of '!. is not t cry materially affected by the result of this `.°3'r GENERAL ELECTION. At three o'clock some voters having arrived from London, the gross numbers stood for— Rick ford - - . • 979 Nugent - - - . 604 Kirkwall . - . . 503 I have only to add, that Lord Kirkwall is expected to give in to-night. Four o'Clock.-1 open the parcel to say, that Lord Kirk wall has resigned, and Mr. Rickford and Lord Nugent are declared duly elected. DORCHESTER, MONDAY NIGHT. Here, as elsewhere, the mind of the people is enthusiasti cally in favour of reform. On my road from Salisbury to Dorchester I had abundant proofs of it in every village through which we passed. At Blandford, banners were displayed in several windows, with inscriptions more or less flattering to the reforming candidates Portman and Calcraft. The coach in which I was supposed to be engaged in carrying voters ; and the consequence was, that a mob of idle people surrounded it and hooted the passengers most unmercifully. One or two persons had clubs in their hands. They flourished them above their beads, and swore that they would give the bludgeon-men a good drubbing to morrow if they dared to range themselves again in the neighbourhood of the hustings. This feeling is, I understand, prevalent throughout the county, so that I shall be surprised if we have not some hostile collision between the two parties to-morrow. If such an untoward event should occur, there can be no doubt, from the popular indignation which their insolent and ferocious conduct on Friday last has excited in all quarters, that they will get another sound thrashing. You may therefore, to use a vulgar but not inexpressive phrase, be on the look out for squalls. The reformers are in high spirits, declaring that they have with them the whole of the intelligence of Dorsetshire, and that they are only opposed by an oligarchy of equiireens and parsons, whose passions and pre judices will induce them, notwithstanding the hopelessness of success, to fight the battle of this veteran champion of their order, as long as the purse of the Charles-street Gang remains unexhausted, hut not ono minute longer. They are using all kinds of dirty tricks to intimidate the poorer voters, but hitherto in vain. I am sorry to hear that the union between the friends of the reforming candidates is not so strict in some quarters as it ought to be, not only for their own in terest, but for the interest of their common country. The stand-off is said to be on the side of Mr.Portman. I trust that there is no truth in this rumour : at any rate, I hope that none of the freeholders will be so foolish as to allow Mr. Port man's reluctance to coalesce with Mr. Calcraft to influence them against giving their rotes in favour of that gentleman, or into neutralizing their votes by splitting them between Mr. Portman and his late colleague. Of all things. any thing which has the appearance of dissension among the friends of reform ought to be avoided on an occasion like the present. Union is strength at all times, and never more so than at the present. Dorchester is quite full. Beds are difficult to procure, and none are to be had for less than half a guinea a night.— The Times. MIDDLESEX. The Election for this county took place at ten o'clock yesterday morning, at Brentford. At half-past eight o'clock, the friends of the candidates, in coaches and four, proceeded to Mr. Hume's house, Bryanstone-square, where that gen tleman joined the procession, which passed on to the house of Mr. Byng, in St. James's-square. There Mr. Byng joined them. They then moved off at a quick race to Brentford. The banners bore the mottos " Byng and Hume, friends of Reform ;" " The King and Reform;" " The Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill." The area in front of the hustings was filled by respectably dressed persons, and the hustings were crowded by the more opulent portion of the freeholders of the county. Amongst 'those present we noticed Sir J. Lilley, Mr. Serjeant Pell, Mr. Calvert, M.P. for Southwark, Mr. J. Wood, M.P. Mr. G. F. Young, Col. Jones, &c. The Sheriffs, Sir C. Marshall, and Sir H. Poland, opened the business of the day by reading the usual forms, and Mr. Serjeant Pell said he had great pleasure in coming forward on the present occa sion, in consequence of the object which they had all in view, and which he hoped they would obtain, namely, returning to Parliament for that large, populous, and po-1 pular county, two independent Englishmen. It was with great pride that he stood before them as the proposer of their old and tried friend, Mr. Byng, as a fit and proper person to represent them again in parliament. It would be a waste of time were he to dwell upon the merits' of a character so well known to them. He had served them in 10 successive parliaments, and during the 40 years he had been their representative, he never spoke or gave a vote but for the good of his country. This aas the proudest day that England had ever known ; they were on the eve of see ing that measure realised, which he, as an humble indivi dual, had ever advocated as being necessary for the salva tion of the country. As a boy, he knew that there was some thing wrong in the political system, but he could not tell where the fault lay. As a man be perceived that, down to the accession of the present King, a system of gross delusion bad been carried on, and he would now say, regardless of any motive that might be imputed to him, that if the mea sure of reform proposed by Ministers did not succeed, it was impossible to say, what might not happen in England, for there was a point of endurance beyond which it was impos sible to go. The learned gent. then adverted to the borough ' mongers, and designated them as being as foul, base, and sordid set of men as ever c:'me between the spirit of the constitution and the happiness of the people. A borough monger was a sort of political mule, having all the obstinacy of the ass, without the dignity of the horse. (Cheers.) — Known bypis ears, his impertinence, and his stubbornness, I and as long as be had a hoof would kick, unless mastered by the people (Laughter.) He adverted to the recent election I for Cambridge, and animadverted strongly upon the conduct of the clergy and lawyers. He at the same time passed a high eulogium upon the character of the Lord Chancellor. With respect to the measure of reform, it must, he said, succeed, because, in addition to the power of the press being exerted in its favour, it had the support of public opinion (applause). Talleyrand said that there was more wisdom iu public opinion than in any Minister that ever was, or ever would be born : (hear, hear.) He then alluded to the glorious conduct of the illustrious house of Russell and Cavendish, who were always to be found supporting the cause of the people, who had shed their blood in that cause,' and were ready to do so again. (Applause.) The King, too was with them, and a King who was bred a sailor, and who, although now in the autumn of his days, showed a spirit and decision of character which distinguishes those individuals who form the best bulwark of England. (Loud I cheers.) William the Fourth having made up his mind on the subject of the Reform Bill, determined to give his as sistance in carrying it through Parliament; and in acting as he had acted, he had shown more firmness than any King of England before him. (Loud cheers.) Of whom be would say, in the words of our immortal bard— " May he prove to shone invulnerable, And stick in the wan like a great sea-mark Blanding every Maw, and saying those who eye him." The Learned Serjeant concluded by proposing Mr. Byng as a fit and proper person to represent the county of Middlesex in Parliament. GENERAL ELECTION. Mr. Calvert, the Member for Southwark, in seconding the nomination, alluded to the progress which Reform was making throughout the country. Already had been pined a majority of 120 votes in favour of the Bill. This, taken from the 300 who had opposed Reform, would leave only 180 opponents; and adding this 120 to the 301 that voted for the Bill, w o uld l eave 421 i n f avour o f i t i n t h e next I Parliament : (Cheers, and cries of bravo!) Sir J. Lilley proposed Mr. Hume as member for the county. The worthy knight alluded to the organized sys tem that had been practised to keep down the people, and said that Polignac came over to this country to learn State policy, which he put into operation in France, and the result was that his master lost his throne. (Hear.) He verily be lieved that Providence had so ordered it that our present be loved Monarch should ascend the throne, and by acting in the way he did, save this country from the horrors consequent l upon a revolution. (Hear, hear.) After alluding to the way in which the church and the army were filled by the nomi nees of the boroughmongers, which he said could last no longer, (Hear, hear.) he proceeded to say that he had this advantage over others who had candidates topropose, namely, that the individual whom he nominated needed no observa tions to set forth his claims to their support. Mr. Hume's actions were recorded in Parliament. The palladium of pub lic liberty—the public press, had recorded them; (Hear, hear.) and he should therefore not take up their time in say ing one word on this subject, but should conclude by pro posing Mr. J. Hume as a fit and proper person to represent that county in Parliament. Mr. G. F. Young seconded the nomination, and adverted to the upright and consistent course which Mr. Hume had always adopted in parliament. He also drew the attention, l of the assembly to the triumphant situation in which reform I stood at that moment ; a measure which had already ef- I fected a revolution, for it bad induced men to think for themselves—(hear, hear.) Mr. Sheriff Marshall then asked if any freeholder had any lother candidate to propose ? (Loud cries of no, no.) Colonel Jones said that, before a show of hands was called for, a freeholder bad a question to put to the candi date—(cries of no; no, and hear, hear.) Mr. POTTER here stepped forward, and said that lie had ' a question to put to Messrs. Byng and Hutne, He had heard that efforts would be made by a party in opposition to the King and the people, to prevent the measure of Reform being brought forward immediately. His question to the candidates was this, Would they, if any efforts of the kind were made, adopt every means to have the Bill, the whole I Bill, and nothing but the Bill, brought forward imme diately ? (Cheers.) Mr. BYRE; said that he should be sorry not to answer every question put to him. With respect to the question now put, he begged to say, that under the circumstances of the country, he did not think any minister would be mad enough to postpone the measure one moment beyond the ne cessary time. They knew what ministers they had, they also knew the king they had ; this he thought was a gua rantee for the measure being quickly brought forward, and as life was uncertain, he thought that the sooner it was done the better ; indeed it would be, as he before said, madness to delay it one moment beyond the time necessary. Mr. Hume now stood forward, and said that as far as he was concerned, he was well pledsed that questions were put to him, but beyond all others, this question. He thought that too few questions were put to the representatives of the people ; they ought to be brought to book oftener. (Bravo.), He had this to say in reply to the question which had been put to him, and be trusted that it would for ever set at rest any suspicions that might be entertained respecting the course intended to be pursued by Ministers relative to the Reform Bill. It was this, that be had the authority of a Minister of the Crown to say, that the first thing that would be done in the new Parliament, was to bring in the Bill, pass it through with every possible rapidity, and thus finish this great measure of Reform. Mr. Byng, in reply to Mr. Wakley, who contended that he bad not answered the question put to him explicitly, said that he would vote for schedule A. and B. and for the clause giving the franchise to 101. householders, and also that be would, if necessary, call for the immediate introduction of the bill. (Hear.) Colonel Jones asked the candidates if they would, in case they voted against the wishes of the people,resign their seats. I, (Loud cries of No, no, hisses, and Don't answer.) Mr. Hume submitted that this was not a fair questi (Hear, hear.) How was he to ascertain the opinion of the, county, as to every vote which he should give in Parliament? But if a county meeting were held respecting his conduct, he should attend and explain that conduct; but if his explana-1 tion was not considered satisfactory, he would be most willing to resign into their hands the trust which they had reposed in him. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Sheriff Marshall again asked if there was any other candidate to be proposed, but the answer being in the nega tive, Messrs. Byng and Hume were declared duly elected, amidst applause. Mr. Byng stood forward, and was warmly received. When he first started in life he found that the House of Commons was filled either by the nominees of Peers, or by Commoners anxious to become Peers. From that moment be became a reformer: three years after he went into Parliament, and he had the honour of supporting a measure of reform very simi lar to the present, which had been introduced into the House • of Commons by the present Prime Minister, then Mr. Grey.l He contended that this measure of reform was not a measure of revolution, but of real reform; and sure he was, that an ! honest ministry, supported by a good King and a united ! people, would carry this measure, which would produce the greatest good to the country. (Cheers.) Mr. Flume followed, and was loudly cheered. They had an in elected him to represent them in parliament, and he 0 could assure them that he would pay every I ossible attention to the local interests of the county ; as far as respected the , interests of the county, he would make no pledge, his , actions were before them : (bear, hear.) He trusted that every one who bad a vote, and there were few that he then ! addressed that would not have one (applause;) he hoped, ! he said, that every voter would do his duty, and not require , individuals, anxious for the honour of repesenting them, to come round and beg and canvass for their support, (hear.) The people were no longer the willing slaves of the borough- mongering faction ' • they were no longer to be deluded by false statements. One individual who had been very re markable in his opposition to the Reform Bill, said that one of his best arguments in support of his election, would be to read the Reform Bill to the people. But this the Honour able individual never did. He knew that the people could not be blinded by any sophistry, when they saw that 60 close boroughs were at one fell swoop knocked off, and thus 119 nominees of Peers sent to the rightabout : (hear.) Schedule A. was fatal to the boroughmongers ; it cleansed from the House of Commons persons who had no sympathies with the people. The Hon. Member then went through the various clauses of the Bill, and showed that, in tsking the power of .returning Members to Parliament out of the hands of such men as the Duke of Newcastle, who had been completely floored by Mr. Serjeant Wilde (cheers and laughter). and placing it in the bands of the people of Manchester, Bir• mingham, &c. no revolution was intended, but common jus tice was merely done to the people. The honourable mem- ' ber went on for some time in the same strain, and concluded GENERAL ELECTION. by calling on the people to do their duty mien next they wile called uj:on, and thanking them for the honour they had again conferred upon him—(applause.) eoloael Jones and Captain N . la%field addressed a kw ob -8 rvationa to the electors, iii.tl the latter prop, - ,sed thy• thanks of the assmi.bly to the She:iff., which were unanimously given. Mr. Sheriff Marshall returned thanks. Upon the suggestion of Jr.N Serjeant Pell, three cheers were given for" the King, the whole King. and noshing but the King." Mr. Hume proposed that " GOD save the King!" should be sung in full chorus, which as instantly complied with, a getitiemin named Anderton leading the vocal attain, and even• one, from the Membeis down to the poor la'uliver, joined in the joyful and loyal tune. Three cheers were then given for "the Bill ;" after which the Members were chaired, in separate chairs, round the town. IRELAND.

TRIUMPH IN COSE.—The late members for Coil city, the Hon. Air. Boyle and Mr. Callaghan, were re-elected on Saturday, without opposition. Colonel Jonathan did not make his appearance at all, and Major Massey prudently resigned on Saturday morning. The Amblers Reporter contains a detailed report of the proceedings at the elecdon— Both the members strongly advocated a modified system of poor laws tor Ireland; and Mr. Callaghan pledged himself to vote for a repeal of the local coal tax in Cork. After the election ti.e members were chaired through the prindpal streets of the town, amidst the acclamations of thousands, and the cordial greetings of the inhabitants from the win dows and roofs of the bouses. COUNTY CL•ax.-s•We have received accounts from the county of Clore, on which we can confidently rely, and we announce with great pleasure, that the return of Mr. M. O'Connell is now certain beyon.l doubt. Nothing could be more Battering than his canvass. Out of SO fredholden in Ennis, be met with but thrte refusals, and he has been equally well received in every other part of the county. Mr. O'Connell arrived in Ennis, from Limerick, at an early hour on kriday, and was re. ceivtd with such demonstrations of popular favour, as have secretly, at any period of his life, been exhibited towards him. Tne ' trades of Ennis, bearing banners, and with music, headed by Mr. Steele, went to meet him in full procession, accompanied by many thousands of the people of the town and neighbouring country. There were also immense mukitudes collected from different parts of the county; and on his arrival in Ennis, 11r. O.

His carriage was drawn by the multitude amidst the most enthusiastic cheering to the square, where be spoke to the thentsands assembled on the occasion. He was repeatedly told by the people he need tate no trouble about canvassing, as the freeholders had unanimously determined to have him for their representative. The cheering at times was long and deafening, and universal joy appeared to pee. vail at haring him amongst them. He met a similar reception at Knock, Labasheeda, Eildywt, Tulle. and &aril', where he was drawn by the people to the house of Hr. Drew, of Drewsborough, and through the village of Tomgrany to the Chap e l of Ogonnellne, where the freeholders of that parish had assentbkd to receive him. The scene that tmlr place here was exceedingly interesting from reeollectiens associated with he place. This was the spot in which O'Gorman Mahon at midnight first addressed, by torch light, the 40s. freeholders of Clare, when, in , he year 1828, he called on the people to supporthim in favour at Mr. O'Connel. Here it was that he commenced that contest the success of which certainly decided the question of Catholic Emancipation. It was now after nightfall—the evening was beautiful—and, as on the former occa sion alluded to, torches were brought by the people, who assetrahled in thousands front the surrounding hills. He was addressing the sante people who had witnessed his exertions on that occasion ; hut how exceeding diftirent the periods and circumstances. Herr O'Gorman Mahon adverted with great feeling to the nature of the present oppu f Dalioll got up against him in his native county. The freeholders calling each other by name, immcdiattly united, and coning formed in a body, openly declared their detettnination to give him their un divided support.
