On Saturday night the state of the poll was as follows s Chandos . - . 1,239 • Smith - . . . 887 Grenfell . . . - 52 - - • • - 21 - - - • 10 -11 10 21 10 During the day the friends of Mr. Smith made much greater exertions than on preceding occasions, and the result was to give him a majority on the day's poll over the Mar quis of Chandos, the latter polling 366 votes, and Mr. Smith 380. The third candidate, however, has not participated in the triumph, Mr. Grenfell receiving only 177 votes on Sa turday. On the two preceding days the reformers, generally speaking, divided their votes between Smith and Grenfell, but on Saturday many of the first-named gentleman's sup porters adopted a different course, and gave plumpers for their favourite candidate. This p roceeding, with whatever view resorted to,—whether in order to shorten a contest which costa two of the candidates a great deal, and the third no thing, or for the purpose of placing Mr. Smith in a re spectable position relatively both to Mr. Grenfell and Lord Chandos,—occasioned a good deal of dissatisfaction among members of Mr. Grenfell's committee. Towards the close of the day, I understand that Mr. Smith's voters re commended splitting their suffrages with the other reforming candidate. Without entering into the merits of the question, or at tempting to blame or exculpate any one, I must say it is much to be lamented that such an arrangement was not re sorted to at the beginning of this contest as might have strengthened the cause of reform, by effecting a firm coalition between the two liberal candidates. Of course an equal par ticipation in the expenses of the election, as well as commu nity of principle and purpose, mist have constituted an ele ment of the coalition. Had it been cordially formed, and were the contest conducted with spirit, I think there can be very little doubt that the result of the election would have been triumphantly favourable to the popular cause. As I said, on a former occasion, if the opinions of all the free holders of the county could be taken, a considerable majority could be decided friends of reform, and, notwithstanding the influence of the Buckingham family and their friends, I feel persuaded that on a poll of the 7,000 voters composing the constituency of Bucks, or of the larger portion of them, the supporters of Messrs. Smith and Grenfell would have outnumbered thou of Lord Chandos. I speak now of the result of a contest properly conducted from the outset to its close. As to the result of the present conflict, people specu late according to their hopes and wishes. It is said that the voters of Lord Chandos are nearly exhausted, and that Mr. Grenfell's firmest supporters, the Quakers, have yet to come to the poll, with many others, who will vote for that gentleman. Again the friends of Mr. Smith feel confident of being able to head the noble marquis on the poll, should the election continue only a few days longer. If a reform coalition were to take place, even at this eleventh hour, and if energetic means were adopted to can vass the freeholders and conve y them to the poll, I think the vict ory m i g h t st ill b e with the righteous cause. The Marquis of CH A N nos addressed the electors from the imstings, at the close of the poll, and returned thanks to the oters for having conferred upon him so large a majority over the other candidates. He hoped to meet them again on ‘lcnday, and to find them prepared to express their opinions in his favour, by continuing to s u pp or t hi m . H e expressed pleasure he felt in consequence of the distinguished sup port which he had received, and declared that he felt confident of a successful issue to their exertions. Air. J. SMITH said, the state of the poll fully confirmed all his hopes and well-founded expectations: he believedand trusted that his friends would come forward in still greater numbers next weep, and that the voters in his interest ..vould increase in a much greater proportion than hitherto. GENERAL ELECTION. He concluded by reminding the electors that in supporting him they supported the great question of Parliamentary Reform. Mr. P. Grenfell said, though last on the poll, he did not feel in the slightest degree discontented or disheartened : in deed he stood higher on the poll than he bad expected. Let it be borne in mind, that the number of freeholders entitled to vote in the county amounted to from 6,000 to 7000; that as yet not quite 2,000 had polled ; that 5,000 remained for him to depend on, convinced as he was that the great ma jority was friendly to reform. He bad the satisfaction to state, from the information he had received from his own part of the county, that he felt positive he should on Monday and Tuesday next, receive a great acces sion of votes. He assured the electors that no momentary triumph, no misrepresentation, should induce him to desert them or the cause ; but, on the contrary, that he should per severe as long as he thought it his duty to do so with refer ence to the success of the great question of parliamentary Reform. ESSEX-THIRD DAY. CHELMSFORD, SATURDAY, MAY 7.—This election is already decided, and in Essex, hitherto the strongest fast ness of toryism, the cause of reform is pre-eminently trium phant. It is true that the nominee of the blues, Colonel Tyrell, promises to keep the poll open for several days more, and speaks with apparent confidence of the ultimate result, but such a course of proceeding is not surprising on the part of a faction who have been rendered desperate by beholding the power which they so long and so unworthily exercised wrested from their possession. This will be the first defeat that the blues have sustained in Essex, and it will be the last contest that they shall ever maintain against the people. The spirit of generous enthusiasm which the reform bill has diffuses throughout all England pervades every district of Essex, and the electors are coming up in great numbers, and at their own expense, even from the most distant parts of the county, to give their votes for the candidates who are pledged to support the whole bill, and nothing but the bill. Upwards of 300 voters from Braintree, Halstead, and other districts of the county, came into town to-day about 12 o'clock in coaches, gigs, chariots, and on horseback, with banners flying on which the mottoes " Western and Wellesley," " Reform for ever," " At our own expense," &c. were inscribed. They were loudly cheered by the populace as they proceeded through the town to the poll. The Colches ter voters are expected to come up in a large body on Mon day, headed by Mr. D. W. Harvey. In short, the Blues have no chance of success ; but as they have hitherto been able to muster a great force in the county, and as there re main about 3,000 voters still unpolled, the reformers are wisely determined not to relax in the slightest degree in their exertions, until the Blue candidate finally retire from the contest. The poll was closed at half-past five o'clock, when the numbers were as follow : Western - . 1157 Wellesley . 1497 TP• 11 . - • 994 Mr. WRSTZRN said, that he had little more to say than to congratulate them on the triumphant result of that day's poll, which must gladden the heart of every honest reformer, and which was decisive as to the opinion of the freeholders with regard to the great question which had been submitted to them. He understood, however, that his late hon. col league, notwithstanding such a demonstration of the feeling of the county against him, was determined to continue the poll. He (Mr. Western) did not find fault with him for so doing—he was sure that he did not do so through any vexatious spirit, or from any unworthy motive—he supposed that he had received some accounts from his friends, which led him to imagine that he would repair the irreparable loss which he had that day sustained. He (Mr. Western) could not help thinking that if such were the case, the friends of the late hon. colleague were over sanguine in their expecta tions ; that his late hon. colleague would be mistaken if he relied on their promises ; and that he would find him self on each successive day still farther than upon the three days which had already passed, from that successful result which he anticipated. He had no more to say but to return them his cordial thanks for having placed him at the bead of the poll, and to congratulate them upon the certain and very speedy triumph of that great cause which the people of England had taken so much to heart, which the free holders of Essex had also taken to heart, and which had been successful wherever the strength of parties had been hitherto tried. (Cheers.) He knew that it was quite un necessary to exhort them to unceasing exertions, and he was confident that at the close of the poll on Monday they would witness the same triumphant result as that which had been just announced upon that day's poll. (Cheers.) Colonel Tyrell could not help congratulating the electors upon the great impartiality which they had hitherto displayed towards all parties, by giving to none of them a very distinct hearing. (A laugh.) He hoped they would hear him on this occasion, as he wished to have some private conversation with them. His late bon. colleague had told them, with great truth, that he (Col. Tyrell) would not continue the contest whenever he ceased to have a reasonable expectation of victory. He (Colonel Tyrell) still adhered to that determi nation, and he would state the grounds on which he was determined to keep the poll open. His late hon. colleague was too much flushed with the hopes of victory, and he had committed the great error of bringing all his men to the scratch on one day. There was, during the last election, a day in the week which was called Black Monday : now he begged to tell them that he had on his books the promises of 2,000 persons to support him, and that he bad also promises of a different description from a considerable number of persons who had promised not to come at all ; that he relied upon the promises of both those parties, and that he was sure that on Monday or Tuesday next he should change places with his opponents on the poll. He regretted much that he was deprived of the pleasure of seeing his invisible opponent, Mr. Wellesley, on this occasion he thought that it would be a great want of courtesy on his (Colonel Tyrell's) part to close the poll without giving him an opportunity to come there, and as he was impressed with the anxiety which the freeholders felt to see that hon. gbntleman. he was willing to afford them an opportunity of gratifying that desire. If his hon. opponent to whom he alluded were present, he (Col. Tyrell) should have a particular question to put to him with regard to his political consistency ; but as his late hon. colleague (Mr. Western) could answer the ques tion, he relied on his candour for doing so. The question which he should put to him was this—namely, whether in the House of Commons, a very few days before the dissolu tion of Parliament, his invisible opponent did not come up to both of them and say, " I will turn one of you out—(cries of " Bravo," and " Tyrell, you go")—and I don't care a d—n which it is." What became of the political consistency of the man who could express such a sentiment, and he would call upon his late hon. colleague to say whether such a senti ment had not been expressed by Mr. Wellesley ? Mr. WESTERN.—AU I have to say is, that whether that conversation did take place or not, does not now signify one d—n. (Applause.) Colonel f Y ALIA. contended that his question had not been answered, and that he had a right to assume, from the silence of his hon. colleague, that the occurrence of the conversation which he bad mentioned was admitted. The gallant colonel then proceeded to impugn the political consistency of his late hon. colleague during the 40 years that he had represented GENERAL ELECTION. the county in Parliament. His late bon. colleague, during the last 12 years, bad attributed all the evils under which the country laboured, not to a want of reform, but to a change in the currency. Why did hi• late hon. colleague keep his opinion upon reform in abeyance then, and not bring forward a motion on the subject ? (A voice in the crowd, " Because it would be of no use.") In conclusion, he begged to repeat, that as long as he had a reasonable prospect of success he would keep the poll open ; and that as the last contest continued for 15 days, this probably would extend to 10. Mr. WESTERN said, that the charge of inconsistency which had been preferred against him was exceedingly ludi crous. He was not in parliament when Mr. Pitt was a re former. Mr. Pitt-had abandoned that cause when he ( Air. Western) entered parliament, and he had been uniformly op posed to Mr. Pitt. As to his not bringing forward a motion on reform, the question had been brought forward, year after year, by men who were much more capable of doing justice to it than he was, and he had, upon all such occasions, dis charged his duty by giving it his hearty support. (Cheers.) Sir Felix Agar congratulated the freeholders upon the glorious result of that day's poll, so favourable as it was to the great cause in which they were all embarked. With respect to the charge which had been preferred against his honourab!e friend, Mr. Wellesley, in reference to a private conversation in the House of Commons, which the gallant colonel had thought fit to make public, it had been so ably and properly answered by Mr. Western, that it would be folly on his (Sir F. Agar's) part to make any reply to it beyond stating that it was too fri volous and contemptible to deserve further notice. (Cheers.) The gallant colonel had expressed a wish to see his Iron. friend present on the hustings. He begged to tell him that he would see him there much sooner than he desired (cheers,) , and that his hon. friend would carry away with him from the county those laurels to which his conduct in parliament entitled him, and for which the gallant colonel so vainly con tended. The gallant colonel talked of consistency : where was it to be found,—in the blue joining with the yellow at the last election? He talked also of 2,000 promises, but he (Sir F. Agar) would warn him that such promises would be certain to fail, and he was quite sure that on Monday and Tuesday they would maintain a considerably increased ma jority above the gallant colonel. It had been said that his Majesty had expressed no opinion in favour of the bill. How could he more strongly express his opinion in favour of the measure than by going down and dissolving parliament in person, and thus giving to his people the power of return ing representatives who would pass it ? He had only in conclusion to say, that he hoped the freeholders would not relax in their exertions while the enemy remained in the field. Colonel TYRELL said, that the epithet " contemptible" had been appled to the charge which he preferred against Mr. Wellesley. Now, if the hon. gentleman who bad last addressed them had any contempt for his (Colonel Tyrrell's) repeating a private conversation, he (Colonel Tyrell) had the most profound contempt for the answer which bad been made to his charge. Sir F. AGAR said that the gallant Colonel had thought proper to use his name under the head of contempt. Now, so far from retracting, he was always ready to confirm what he had said, and he would repeat, that the charge, in re ference to the private conversation in question, particularly after it bad been so properly arswered by Mr. M estern, ap peared to him too contemptible to be further noticed. Colonel TYRELL again attempted to address the electors, but owing to the noise and confusion which prevailed, no thiN that he said was distinctly heard. Mr. Leux Aar), the member for Maldon, having been loudly called for, came forward and addressed the electors. He heartily congratulated them upon the successful efforts which they bad made in the cause of reform—the cause of the people of England—that great cause which had bound them all together in the closest bonds of union and affection. The King had referred this point to his loyal people for their decision ; namely, whether they would have representatives chosen by a very small number of individuals, and who in many instances represented only stones or green mounds, or whether they would have representatives chosen by the great body of the people of England. That was the point referred to them for their decision, and be was sure that they would without any hesitation arrive at the proper conclusion. In deed, he entertained strong hopes that they would not have many more days of meeting there until the return was made out, and the cause of reform triumphant. (Cheers.) Col. TYRELL.—You shall have a great many more days. Mr. Lew NA RD proceeded, in a very happy strain of argu ment, to show how exceedingly absurd the allegation was, that the agricultural interest would be injured by the reform bill, or that it would be sacrificed to the manufacturing or any other interest in the country by the passing of such a measure. Those who made such an assertion, he observed, knew well what they were about. They only resorted to such arguments for the purpose of creating disunion, and they employed the machiavelian artifices of tyrants, who wished by division to govern a people. He was sure, how ever, that the freeholders of Essex would not be led away by such a delusion, but that they would give their cordial support to a measure which was calculated to strengthen and consolidate all the great interests of the country. The Court was then adjourned until 10 o'clock on Mon day (this) morning. NORFOLK. (From the Nortek/6 Mereury,) During the past week there have been vague rumours of an opposition, but there was no visible manifestation of any such intention. At 9 o'clGck on Friday, the supporters of Coke and Fclkes met as usual at Mile-cress, and about 10 the candidates entered the city at the head of a body of yeo manry, numbering about 500 horsemen, preceded by a band of wind instruments and banners, bearing the following in scriptions :—" Influence of the People." " Happy Union of Coke and Folkes, the Friends of the People." At the head rode our venerable member, Mr. Coke, look ing as well and as untouched by the hand of time as his free course of rural life, early hours, and temperate habits would promise. In spite of the coarse weather, our noble example of an English country geueenian appeared to enjoy as much health and vigour as the stoutest yeoman of 40 in his train. This gratifying sensation was inexpressibly augmented by the presence of two of his sons, the eldest a lovely boy of eight years old, whose features combine sweetness and calm temper in the most delightful expres sion. He rode between his father and Sir W. Folkes, and returned the grattilations which he every where might be said to share with then; by taking off his bat and bowing to the ladies and friends who greeted them from the windows. Thus it is that the heir of Holkham is trained to associate the honours of his house with popular regard, popular feel ing, and popular principles ; and whether it be his future fate to sit in the House of Peers as the inheritor of the well-earned political exaltation of his father, or as the re presentative of this great county in the House of Commons, the impression thus early made upon his young mind will never be effaced. In this order the cavalcade proceeded by the customary avenues to the Shirehall. The usual forms having been gone through, The nomivation commenced soon after ten o'clock. Mr. Coke was proposed by Sir Jacob Maley, and seconded by Brampton Gurdon, Esq ; Sir Win. Folkes, by W. Wind ham, jun. Esq. and Mr. Lemon, of WhitweU. GENERAL ELECTION. Up to this hour (twelve), when necessity conyels us to 'close our narration, the Com t had teen addressed by flu 'gentlemen above-named, with a degree of elcii:ler.ce and pourer rarely witnessed in our county business. bit. Jacob and Mr. Windham fpoke with peculiar energy and annul-, tion ; and Mr. B. Gordon with that gentlemanly Isis in.; which distinguishes his personal manners. Mr. Leamon's address was pithy, argumentative, and antithetical —jt.st such sentences as hit the public feeling, and tell —at:m1;;• nervous good sense. May not this inspiration of our young. politicians be attributed to the effects of the stimulsitit measure which universally invites to patriotic exertion / Mr. Coke was speaking when our reporter left the Cou: t, which was excessively crowded. GLORIOUS TRIUMPH or REFORM ix II ERTFORDS 'IRE. There is no county in England that has more nobly per formed its duty, on the present important occasion, than the county of Hertford, which has returned to Parliament six staunch Reformers, viz.—two for the county, Sir John Se bright and Nicolson Calvert, Esq ; two for the borough of Hertford, T. S. Duncombe and John Curie, Eire ; and two for St. Alban's, Sir Francis Vincent and Richard God son, Esq. Both the boroughs were strongly contested— Hertford by Lord lngestrie, the relative and nominee of the boroughmongering Marquis of Salisbury, who, until this oc casion, with the Corporation as his tools, has always suc ceeded in forcing one anti-liberal member upon the inhabit ants ; and St. Alban's, by Lord Grimston, the eldest son of the Earl of Verulam, the Lord Lieutenant of the county.— ' Nothing, however, could resist the gallant spirit of the le formers, who, despite threats and copious offerings from the joint stock purse of Charles -street, petfurmed their duty as Englishmen ought to do on such an occasion. No sooner was Lord Grimaton beat at St. Alban's, than attempts were made to get him to stand for the county. 'The Tories came down liberally to meet the expense, Lord Salisbury sub scribing 5,0001. and Lady Bridgewater 1,0001. A canvas was attempted, but it proved so thoroughly disheartening, that at the nomination on Friday, no one had the temerity to attempt to disturb the old members, who on Saturday were re-elected without opposition. Sir John Sebright roughly handled both the Marquis and Lord Grimston, taxing the latter witb the subscription, which he designated as a ‘• beg gar's mode of getting into Parliament." Lord Grimstou admitted the fact, and justified it on the grounds of having. heard that subscriptions were to be got up on the other side. Nothing can exceed the discomfiture of the borougbmongers, whose wo-begone countenances form a striking contras! with those of their victorious opponents. Lord Salisbury has left the county for Dorseishire, where he is gone to lead la hand to his friend, Mr. Bankes. _ _ CORNWALL ELECTION. The nomination of Members for the county of Cornice): took place on Thursday, at Bodmin. The rain fell in tor rents from twelve to two o'clock ; but notwithstanding. nearly five thousand persons collected round the busting-. who stood their ground during the pelting of the storm in the greatest good humour. Upwards of a thou sand horsemen entered Bodmin in a body, beaded by Sir Charles Lemon and Mr. Pendarves : Sir William Moles worth brought up the rear in his carriage. Upwards of se ven hundred partook of a substantial breakfast at the Hon. Baronet's seat, at Pencarrow, where they bad assembled by appointment. A large party of horsemen also entered from the east. Never had there been such an array of the yeo manry of Cornwall. The laurel-leaf of the liberal candi dates was every where visible. Mr. Pendarves and Sir C. Lemon were received with shouts of applause, which made the welkin ring. Lord alletort and Sir R. Vyvyan were also cheered by their friends. At one o'clock, the High Sheriff, John H. Tremayne, Esq. having taken the chair, J. Coulon ' Esq. of Pentille Castle, proposed Sir Richard Vyvyan, and was about to eulogize his conduct, when his voice was completely drowned by hisses, groans, and expressions of dissatisfaction. Not a word could be heard ; and the same occurred when the Right Honorable Reginald Pole Carew rose to second the nomination. J. C. Rashley, Esq. came forward to propose Mr. Pendarves, and was re ceived with tremendous cheering, mingled with hisses from the Ultra side. He said that Mr. Pendarves was well known to them as a reformer, and needed no eulogium. Sir W. P. Call seconded the nomination. Lord Valletortwas proposed by F. H. Rodd, Esq and seconded by Edward Collins, FA, the late High Sheriff. His Lordship's name was received with loud expressions of disapprobation, mingled with cheers. The Rev. Mr. Walker then proposed Sir Charles Lemon.— , (Vehement applause.)—The Hon. Baronet was the son of a staunch patriot, who had represented the county for so many years—(cheers)—and he iuherited his father's spirit and principle ; nor was there any doubt that he would continue, through life, to support every liberal measure and institu tion. (Great applause.)—Tbe High Sheriff declared that the choice of the freeholders had fallen upon the latter gen tlemen. A poll was demanded for Sir Richard Vyvyan and Lord Valletort. The announcement was followed by Iw. meose cheering. The poll commences at Lostwithiel at two. o'clock to-morrow. THE COAL TRAWL 11011 r • COILISIVXDINT. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, MAY 7.—Notwithstandiu,;: the prominent part which the Marquis of Londonderry took the day before yesterday, at the great meeting of the pitmen on the Black Fell, and the subsequent negociations at th- Coal-trade Office, in this town, nothing satisfactory has re sulted, although hopes were entertained at one time lad the pitmen been sincere in their declarations to his Lordshia —that an immediate adjustment of the points in disppte be tween them and the coal owners might have been easily ac complished. From the most accurate information that lam able to collect (and I have tolerable facilities), the pitmen have played off upon the noble Marquis. I mean thereby to say, that they have acted with manifest insincerity in thi• statement of their pplevances. Tho consequence of this has been, that Lord Londonderry, itc a sort of circular which he addressed yesterday to his own colliers, cautions them against the unfsir machinations of a part of their fraternity ; by which he says (and he says so truly), they are shamefully misled and deluded. His Lordship concludes by inviting his own pitmen (a body of 2,000 to 3,000 men) to meet him this day at the Painsher Colliery Office, with a view to the 6aal anangement of the existing differences. His Lordship, in the circular alluded to, says, if his men will only act in a straight forward and manly way, be will extend to them every reasonable support and aid ; but, if they still continuo perverse, and listen to sinister council, the penalty of Nicoll misconduct must be ucon themselves, and upon themselves only. Here, in Newcastle, which may termed the grand centre of the coal-trade, I am sorry to state the opinion jest now is, that the differences bete een the coal owners and their workmen is more serious than ever, as regards actual ap pearances. Two troops of dragoons are to arrive here ic. morrow, from York, in addition to two troops already in garrison ; which, with four troops of Colonel Bell's North umberland yeomanry cavalry, will be ready to act is aid ef the civil authorities, should the refractoriness of tae pitmen render such interference ultimately :waggery. Yost wit probably better understand the bearing of the matter, when you are informed that, amongst the pitasen, a considerable proportion are bound men, whose abashes from stipulated labour to the respective collieries. miffs dun liable is im prisonment, dtc.
