CarUsk Election.—State of the Poll the third dsy, May 26th.—Mr.James, l ft.—Sir P. Musgrave, 5118. THE QUEEN. A letter from a Gentleman at Geneva, to a Corres pondent in town, which affords some interesting mat ter as to the state of her Majesty's health, and as to the manner in which she had been received in that town. Alter describing the unexpected arrival of her Majesty, and the curiosity which her presence had excited, he says:—Some of us Englishmen felt •it our duty to pav our respects to the !Loyal Exile, and sent an humble tcqu:st that we might be allowed that honour. Her N!*sty was so much indisposed as to be incapable of • us, but we were ultimately favoured with an • I:ence. Her Majesty received its with great conde s:ension and affability, and made particular inquiries as • when we heard from England, of which she ex ressed herself a devoted admirer. She spoke with a set of enthusiasm of the people and of the country, an.! said that her heart yearned with affection towards tliz one and the other. She said she never should for- bet the kind, liberal, and enthusiastic sentiments of rz;pect which bad been paid to her while in London— v.: a period when all hope, save that founded upon the cmsciousness of her on n innocence, had fled. A ;oting gentleman, son of Mr. Alderman IVood, was resent; he had before spent some hours with her Ma jesty, and in alluding to the honourable exertions of fathzr, in favour of an almost friendless woman, ts;:e seemed almost affected to tears. Her country—fur she said she had none other but England, now that the grave had swallowed her fattier, her mother, and her I,7D:ller—was tht unceasing topic of her allusions ; and she seemed to look with cotifidence to a triumphant re t....rn to what she emphatically called ' the ba.:om of her " Her person l since she left E n gland in 1814, seeing to he a good dea l changed. She is not so fair as she then was, nor is she so stout—there is an air of melancholy 1....ng0ur about her manners, which readers her very in- L.-cuing. It is thought she will remain here for bottle time. She lives almost entirely secluded." Tile arrival of Alderman W nod in the town of Calais cc(' among the English inhabitants (ahunt 1,000 is number) a considerable li:rmetit. It was at once coi.cluded that the long existing doubts as to the arrival of her Majesty were about to be solved, awl the sub 'quern departure of the worthy Alderman, in mom with LadyHarttilton, on the road towao:s Paris, con firmed the bel.ef that her Majesty woMrt ultimately come' among them. This belief led to a consideration a:, to the way in which she was to 1c received.— Many were fur evincing those sentiments of attachment ivi the strongest manner; but, in order that the matter no ;etc be arranged in a proper way, die following cir cular was isqued on Wednesday.

The nine of removal was twelve o'clock, but two hours before that a large body of people had collected together, which continued increasing every minute, and at the tiute the men were about to be brought out, several hundreds were collected in front and at every avenue leading to the gaol, with every disposition to riot and rescue. The worthy Nlayor, Sir Thomas Mantell,Ent. and Edward Thompson, Esq. a brother magistrate, at tended at the gaol, and gave strict injunctions to the constables to keep the peace, and to the seamen and military not to charge unless absolutely driven to do so in self-defence. The door of the . prison was opened, and the smugglers just upon the ponit of being brought out, when a general shout was set up by the crowd of " Liberty for ever!" and a number °flintiest, brick bats, &c. were thrown at them. The aspect of affairs at this time became so serious, that the Mayor directed the removal of the prisoners to be suspended for the.present; and it was fortunate he did, for there is little doubt that bloodshed, and even murder, would have ensued attempt to rescue. A deputation officer was wounded severely in the head by a blow from a large stone ; and Mr..l'hompson, the magistrate, received a contusion on two of the fingers of his right hand, front a missile. The mob, being toiled in their attempt to res cue the prisoners, proceeded to further acts of violence; and, notwithstanding the Riot Act was twice read from the gaol window by time Mayor, commenced an attack on the gaol, with crow-bars, pickaxes, haturners, saws, &c. &e.; unroofed the top, and threw part of the side wall down, and not only released the whole of the eleven smugglers, but several whet prisoners confined in the gaol under sentence; and they succeeded in getting them clear off, the ituposiag numbers of the mob intimidating the peace-officers and others from acting. One of the persons most active in the riot was takeu,and placed in a chaise with two constab:es, to be conveyed to Canterbury gaoi ; but a mob collected at. the etal of the town, stop ped the chaise, dragged the rioter and constables out, and, notwithstanding the former was handcuffed to the latter, the mob threw the constables on the ground, and severing the handcuff with a cold chisel, released the tio er. Since the release af the smugglers, who all be long to Folksione, the ciawd has dispersed, and the town remains tranquil. On Saturday the Triennial Commemoration of the birth day of Mr. Pitt by the Pitt Club took place, by a dinner, at Merchant Tailors' Hall.— The meeting was less numerous than on any former occasion, not more than 250 persons being present. Earl Compton was in the Chair. On his right hand sat the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Wellington. the Duke of Richmond, and the Earl of Harcwood, and on his left the Earl of Westmorland, Sir Wm. Scott, and Lord Lowther.
