Portman 855 Calcraft Bankes 611 WORCESTERSHIRE The victory has been so easy to the reformers in other counties, that some explanation is necessary to vindicate this shire,and to show to the country at large the reason COl.l Lvgon at the close of the sth day's poll, still treads on the I heels Of Capt. Spencer. Gigantic sinister influence is alone the cause, a rare combination of circumstances enabling it al most to stifle the public voice ; but it would be as near the truth to deny elasticity to steam, because it can be condensed by cold and pressure, as to say the reform bill is unpopular in Worcestershire, even although Colonel Lygon was returned, which he will not be. Col. Lygon has an unlimited com mand of money ; Mr. Foley and Capt. Spencer have none, except what has been raised by subscription. Colonel Ly gon has the services of upwards of 100 attorneys retained, experienced in elections, and possessing themselves some considerable interest; Foley and Spencer have not retained (for want of cash) single attorney, and all the canvasses, &c. have been conducted by inexperienced, though zealous, volunteers. The Beanchamps, the Coventrys, the Somersets, thePly mouths, the clergy, the corporation, and, though last not least, the extensive banking-house of Wall, Lechmere, and Co. have thrown the whole weight of their influence into the scale in favour of Colonel Lygon. Ejectments have been threatened, the withdrawal of employment intimated, every poor devil who has overdrawn his account, or is in any way WIIIIM the " tender mercy" of these aristocrats and Shy locks, has been spoken to in plain language, that unless he gave Lygon a plumper he might look to the consequences. Bribes are held out to the profligate : there will be no diffi culty in proving that many of Lygon's plumpers, who bad previously promised to vote for Foley and Spencer, have ex changed with the gallant Colonel's paid agents their pocket handkerchiefs, or some article of similar value, for 51. and in some instances 101. To crown all, the example of the Marquis of Exeter has been followed ; 300 ruffians have been hired at 7s. per day to create diAurbances, and way lay those who are active on the opposite Aide ; a Mr. James, a most respectable hop-merchant, and a zealous reformer, has been attacked and severely cut, &c. The Sheriff, very properly, has forbid them to come near the hustings. As marks, too, of the unfair manner iu which the contest is conducted—that it is a Sght against the small means of the reformers, it may be mentioned that every vote for Foley and *neer is objected to, and .ent to the assessor, to cau s e delay ; and ale it being proved that in the hundred of Half shire there are more freeholders than can be polled (at the rate they are now going on) in 15 days. The Lygonites object to the offer of the Sheriff to erect an additional booth! These are the men who wish to take the sense of the county on the measure of reform ! In conclusion, it is hoped the reformers will only be stimulated to increased exertions by such unfair play. Close of the poll on Tuesday:— Foley 1,246 Spencer 1,033 Lygon 067 When the crowd was returning last night, after accom panying Messrs. Foley and Spencer to their inns, an at torney of the name of Godson threw an empty bottle amongst them from one of the Lygon houses, which led to an inconsiderable riot, in which the windows of Lygon's committee-room were smashed. An inquiry is going on into Godson's conduct. Poll of this day at half-past 3 o'clock : Foley Spencer Lyon 184 189 114 GROSS POLL.

It is true that a few of them voted for the second reading of the Bill ; but we have set them down as hostile, believing that they would have voted against Reform had the Bill gone into Committee. SCOTLAND. EDIN3I7IOII COUNTT-8111' John Dalrymple pledges himself to stand for the county when the nest dissolution occurs ; and Sir Clerk declares that though the Reform Bill should be earried, C i i t e WE not prevent him from being a candidate again. We hope Sir George will keep his word ; for we long to see what sort of figure he will make in the hands of the ten pound voters. LANARK DISTRICT.—MA Monteith may now wipe away his salt tears with one of his own bandannas. He will never again disgrace the name of Scotsmen by a venal vote in St. Stephen's, Mr. Gilloo has now scented Lanark, Linlithgow, and Peebles, and of course is safe. LANAMISHIIM—The canvass of the popular candidate proceeds succes,fully, and his friends and the friends of reform are in high hopes that he will be the representative of the county. The best symptom perhaps of his success is the fact of the friends of Col. Douglas be ginning to complain of the backwardness of some of their former sup porters. LANAIL—Mr. Monteath Is ousted at last. Yesterday the Town Council of Lanark had a meeting, and declared foe Mr. Dillon, the popular candidate, who having also the support of Linlithgow and Peebles, is sure of his election. Every day is adding to the strength of the popular party in Scotland, bad as the elective machinery is. EAST or Firs Bonosta—We understand that Craill and Men. weem have declared for Mr. Johnstone of &molehill, a reformer ; and as the latter is the returning burgh, Mr. Johnstone's election is certain. PZUTZI awls Carrau—A warrant fee a ailed= bee gene down to Dundee, the revival of whose ensures the Lord Ad vocate's return. Snauttentiaz—Both potties confident—the Reforming Admiral the favourite, Arnanzaz—Mr. Oswald still far a bead of his opponent, but much yet remaining to be done. Ritstraawsninr..—Sir M. S. Stewart will walk the course on Mon day. lt is thus that our neighbouring county gives the tone to the , whole other counties of Scotland. DUNIARTONISHIRE.—The parties here are neck and neck. We see watching their movements--and our readers shall by and bye hear not merely the votes of the freeholders, but, so far as we dare legiti mately announce them, their probable motives. This is no time for an honest journatist to falter—the servike must be exposed every where.— Glasgow &Ws 'names. HADDINGTOS, &c.—The success of the liberal candidate for these burghs is now certain. We mentioned before, that Mr. Stewart, of Adderston, had obtained the support of Haddington and Jedburgh ; and we may now consider him sure of Dunbar, for on Friday the Town Council of that Burgh declared their resolution by a majority, not to support any anti-reform candidate. Sir A. Dalrymple, the late mem ber, who voted for General Gascoyne's motion, will therefore be un seated. Haddington is quite enthusiastic in Mr. Stewart's favour.— Cockades and breast knots of his colour (yellow), are familiarly worn by persons of all ranks. (Since the above was written, we have seen a gen. tieman well-acquainted with the politics of Dunbar, who throws doubts on the above statement as to that burgh.) ABE/MEM! DISTRICI.—What we dared to hint before, is now certain. Captain Ross, • reformer, supplants a supple anti-reformer, Sir James Carnegie. Anzanzzatsuinz.—Sir Michael Bruce of Stenhouse and Scots. town, hart. has come forward in this county to oppose the honourable Captain Gordon, the late member. We understand that Mr. Ross of Rossie's election for the An.. shire boroughs may now be considered as certain.—Montrose, Brechin, and Arbroath having resolved to support him. The election for the county of Cromarty takes place on the 29th instant, and that for Ross-shire on the 25th. Macleod of Macleod has addrested the freeholders of Inverne.s, de clining to solicit their suffrages at present, because Colonel Baillie has taken the field. Macleod has also relinquished the contest for Sudbury in Suffolk, where he had been nominated as a candidate. Mr. Davidson of Tulloch, is in the field for Croakily, pledged to a , offer every opposition in his power to the late Ministerial measure, if again brought forward in Parliament, in the same objectionable shape." Major Leith Hay, younger of Rennes, has canvassed the inhabitants of Elgin and Banff, who will have votes for a member of Parliament when the reform bill has passed into a law, end from the numerous pledges of support which he has received, hi s election Is secured. Major Hay has long been known as the able and consistent advocate of the people's rights, and from his acknowledged abilities, it is certain that be will be an able and useful member. The inhabited.* of Elgin end Banff deserve the highest praise for supporting • candidate on public grounds, and who has been so steady • Mend to reform. We are happy at being able to state, that it is almost cer tain that George Sinclair, Esq. of Ulster, a friend of reform, will be unaimously returned for Caithness at the ensuing elec tion. The town council of Wick, have unanimously resolved to support Mr. Loch for the Northern burghs.—lnverness Courier. CITY OF Dustin ELECTION.—We are delighted in be ing able to announce that Mr. Perrin and the Lord Mayor have a majority on the grime poll of 135, and on yesterday's poll 46. Every artifice was resorted to, to lessen it, but in vain. We trust we shall be soon able to announce the vie-1 tory of independence.—Dublin Times. Mr. Wellesley will have a grand chairing some day next week, probably Monday. One of the sticklers for things as they are, on hearing the bells proclaim thanks to Royalty for dissolving Parlia ment, exclaimed, with evident displeasure, " This sounds revolutionary."

The articles in this Number are mostly distinguished by original merit, and are on interesting subjects.

The third article is • most interesting narrative, entitled— " Passages in my own Life, by a modern Pythagorean." We next have, what we could hardly have expected, an account of the " Controversy between the Rev. Edward Irving and his Adversaries," in which we are happy to find the merits of Mr. Irving liberally ap preciated. " Scottish Melodies" is a humorous, ironical review of a poor Scottish Dominie's Lyrics orbs thinks himself a Horace or Ana creon. " The Year in Spain," is a review of an able work by a young American; the extracts from which pourtray a state of society in Spain Wily horrific. " Felix llixocular" is a lively legal sketch to the life in many parts, but aimed, we believe, at no one. Of the wit of the Reformed Deformed we think but meanly; but recommend the con cluding articles on "The Dissolution," on " The Quarterly Review on Reform," as well meriting careful perusal at the present crisis. Library of the Fite Arai.— Mar We are glad to observe the fourth number of this new and useful miscellany exhibit all the vigour of a plant that has taken root, and is sure to flourish. The Mt article, "on Sculptures of the Parthenon," displays learning, tasteaand judicious critical acumen, which is cre ditable to the country, and must prove most interesting to all who are anxious to form an accurate appreciation of Grecian art, or even to-ob tain recondite information illustrative of Grecian literature.—The second article contains some acute remarks on the inefficient encou ragement given to the arts, particularly sculpture, by the Government of this country.—We next have given in this number a most ingenious and erudite Treatise on " Collonades and Porticoes," continued from the last number.—There is a very sensible Essay on the " Dogmas of Art ;" and an article, which will be generally read, on the " History of Scene Painting in England." We learn from this sketch, that the first lanes used for the drama was in the age of James VI. of Scotland, at Holyrood House—The number concludes with a farther portion of Reynolds's Lectures. We regret that this piece-meal republication of known works is not abandoned, as it is adding a make-weight where one is unnecessary.

CHELMSFORD, MAY 12...--:This evening Mr. Green, and two of the children of a gentleman resident in Chelmsford, named Kennet, went up in an air balloon from this town, and fell, after a short ride in the air, into a park at Baddow, about a mile from the place of their ascent. A peerage. with the rank of an Earl, is to be conferred ou Colonel Fitzclarence. The relationship of this gentle man to the fountain of honour, united to his high attain ments, moral worth, and professional reputation, entitle him to such a mark of paternal regard ; and the public cannot but rejoice that it will be conferred.— Times. Coals have risen in London from 10s. to 12s. per chal dron, in consequence of the refusal of the coal owners to concede the terms demanded by the pitmen atNewcastle. Mr. Telford has undertaken, with the sanction of the Government, to make a survey, and " to report his opinion on the best mode of supplying the metropolis with pure water." But though the Lords of the Treasury have thus officially directed Mr. Telford to make this long-required and very requisite survey, it will occasion no cost to the country, for, to quote the Treasury minute employing Mr. Telford, " Sir Francis Burdett secures the Government from any expense in the matter, he having voluntarily un dertaken the responsibility, proposing himself to confer this advantage on the public.

He stated that he had slept a few eigh.e at Joy's Hotel, but not more than two nights conse cutively, although he had been charged in his bill for 12 nights' lodg ing. He dined and sopped there occasionally; his servant attended him; and he Wei td occasionally some Mends to dinner. He had not described himself as of Joy's Hotel, inasmuch as it was only a tempt.- retry residence. thameerlain of the hotel and several waiters were called. They prated that the imulrant directed a room to be kept for him, but they could not swear that be had slept at the hotel three nights In suceession.

The learned gentleman produced the bill forMehed by Mr. Joy to the insolvent, ob serving that it was extremely edifying to read the various items.
