An individual of the very highea relents and character had entered into the Councils of this countay, an individual who knew very well that he was nut supported by the Tory aristocracy—Mr. Canning, who was awate that the nobility he had to depend upon was the nobilityof the mind, and the co. i operation and aid of the people, and not of the High Church and , Cory party. (Cheers.) 'Therefore it was we saw th3W3 changes in 1 the polities of the country—therefore it was that we hate :shaken oft our connexion a ith the Holy Alliance, that scourge end disgrace of tee Cottinent—therefore it was that the Alien Act, that stain on the 1 cettntzy, bad been suffered to die a natural death —therefore it was that those other Acts against the liberties of the people to which 1:e hid before a lluded were no longer in operation. It was for these eetesone that he felt bound, as the Representative of a free and en- 4. ;.:tenet county, to applaud the conduct which Alinisters had, is .1 Plo , lll instances, pursued. (Applause.) lie trusted they would ; pursue this great course of improvement and ametitheent ; that they ; wank( not atop half-way, that the reformatioo of che Criminal Code, which Mr. Peel lied so properly begun, would be canted still farther, and that both he and his colleague wotili at hest be co/t -eamed that there were other great rights to be given, or he should rau:er say, restored to Englishmen—those great representative rights, of which they had been fraudulently and im propehy deprived. which it was their ditty to bestow on them, that ...Het the improvement of the age, and the increased knowledge of t• 1 people rendered more than ever necessary--a great and import- set extension of the elective franchise. (Applause) These were tee principles which he had always avowed, from which he had :ever swerved, which he had never deserted for a moment, and . +ditch, should die, again return him to Parliament, he would take every importunity of constitutionally and properly supporting. t'.:• sere.) But these wete not alone the duties which he considered . *eight to be the object of the 1131e111i,t1 of a Member of Parliament. I its did rot conceive that public matters are alone those which ought to attract his attention ; bat that a great commercial comity I ke this should have a Represented..a who would rot only defeat I, every attempt of power against the rights and privileges of his con. i sitnents, but who would carefully watch over their local interests. Fur himself he could say. with the greatest sat:sfactior, that he had devoted every moment of his time in Pediment, as far es his tteoleh world allow him, to their service. He had never omitted an opportunity of supporting their rights and privileges in the Hoax of Commons, or of attending . to the local business of the i coenty ; and he would say, thought it might be considered a vain- 1 reorients boast, that be would yield to no Ala:ober of Parliament in i zeseand diligence, though he would readily admit they might have ; been served with more ability. This was not merely a maritime or a manufacturing county, it was as well an agricultural county. All those three interests were united together. and be should ba , ware to thick that if, in the support he had given any one of those, be had in any degree injured the other. But he was confident that i the lice of conduct he had permed was calculated to bene fi t the whole without favouring one in particular. (Cheers.) lie had re. I petted opportemities of advocating the maritime interests of the county, and of England at large; and he had contributed all in his ' power to their advancement, and to the advancement also of the manufacturing and agiicultural interece of the country. He re. 'menet: to observe that in times of great distress it had been thought proper to cast odium on those who had no right to bear it what ever. He had never voted for laws which made the price of bread • lugh, because he was convinced it was not the interest of the farmer that it should be so—that it was not for the benefit of landowners— hut only for the advantage of those who &time great emolument. Vona the immense titration of the cauntry. (Cheers.) But it was rat on that account that he wished thet that interest should be left without any protection. He required for them an adequete protection ti east the artificial Statell which they now exist. So he asides to the s"!pping interest, and so he said as to every other. If the country was starting shrill, it might be very proper to carry the prin. cie :a of free trade to their full extent. But they could not possibly be applied to a country that was labouring under a greater i..a! of taxation need debt than per was known in the world. How was it portable to compete with those countries who hut net POI • lead of taxation to endure—how was it possible to compete with thaw foreigners who totted commard the labour of their servants, he was going to ray, but be must cell them slaves, whom they paid a t a rate upon which it was barely sufficient fur Mem to exist, — when carry man in England ought 0 command that price for his la bour which would be sufficient to maintain hina in convict' and happiness? ;Cheers.) Ile would ncrer consent to measures which wee to deprive the labouring classes of this country of thee com fort, they formerly enjoyed, and which he lamented to hear so few of them enjoyed at the present moment. But he must say that the late distress in the manufacturing districts was not to be attributed to the high price of corn. It was fairly to be attributed to that spirit of speculation which extsted lag year, and which mooted the manufacturers to produce morogoode than the whok world could lure from them ; the workmen were thrown out of employment, ant the consequence was starvation and deepen. (Cheers.) Nlinis. tees Mould have met the question fairly, and have facet, die danger boldly, and not have laid the blame where it did not belong—en . the high price of corn. If he had been in Pediment, he should rut Pave contributed to that delusion, nor permit:id that any one 1 dills of persons should be represented to their emiturymen as , beeefitting by the distresses of another, for which they were in au degree responsible. Our interests wire all bound up tn.! getter, sod he called upon all those intermits to join in call- I in ? tot that one system which globe could restore our twiner pre.s perity and prevent distress—the reduntion ot' our taxation and expenditure, and the enforcement of rigid economy. (Cheers.) Having now stated to them his opinions upon most of the great po lineal questions which agitated this country, declaring his invariable attachment to the cause of Reform, there remained only one other 1 action upou which he could address them ; and on that he declared his opinion without reservation and with confidence, because lie Moan that, whatever might be the feeling in other parts, here in jerboas Me cry of intolerance would never be raised without being r•l• shed by the voice of the people. (Cheers.) He would never be te e man to keep millions of our fellow-countrymen in slavery and deputation, because they conscientiously refused to take thou oath, w: le l would degrade them in the eyes of the world, and firmly ad- Lend to the faith of their ancestors. (Cheers). There were the principles upon which be bed always acted, and if they again re fereed him to Parliament, it would be a proof that, ia the word, used at the late memorable contest, the county oe Durham spoke in and *lough hint. (Cheers.) And if the freeholders had any drub that these were not their principles, this was the time to choose any individual who might be more worthy of their support. (Cheers.) ki • would never shrink from the expression of these sentiments; but if on any question he should differ from his Constituents, there would be o nly one step to take, however sorry he might be to take it—tor it was the pride and boast of his life to be their Itepresen tative—he should then reign, with promptitude a n d cegitness, teat :rust which they thought another better qualified to per form, and which he should lay down with the coneeiciumeas wf raving disnraced neither them nor himself. (Cheerio— he mold not sit down without alluding, in tenet of the warmest gratitude, to ,bat glorious support which he received from them at ... , •e last election. 11C could not express his undying gratitude for Or (Oboe; they made in hes favour, by which they had placed him te a situation as proud as ever fell to the lot of any Englishman to fit, however tithes had been supported by their electors. he woitht say that no man ever received more unbcught, or more un biased, testimonies of appuobation, than he dirt at the memorable contest in 1820. (Chet-re.)

(Cheers.) He *mild now take boa leave of them, and should co wlude, after thanking his two Honourable Friends who nominated end mu acted tem, lor the very flattering terms which they applied to his conditet. lie felt proud that his honourable Friend un his right (11r.

(Cheers.) Introduced to their notice as he Olt.

OCOeitat AYLNItII said, he could not better recommend the Honourable (ientlemen he was about to propose, than by append ing to his services during the long time he had had the honour of representing them.

(Cheers.) Upon rill questions of a local rilture, and in the transaction of their private business, lie had made it 14 duty to act with the greatesi impartiality. Il= was always ready to do every thing in his power for the interests of his Constituents. The Honourable Gentle man entered into a detailed review of his Parliamentary conduct, as it relates to the shipping interest, the Catholic Claim., the aboli. lion of slavery, and the other imprMant questions which since the last election occupied the Att,•ntion of Parliament; and ably justified the conduct he had pursued. He hoped that if lie had done nothing to forkit the honour bestowed on him in 11120, they would now agate confer on lam the highest reward which it was the object of his ambition to reveal.. Mr. Powlett concluded by paying a high compliment to the Sheriff, sad sat down amidst the applause of the meeting.

Mr. POWLETT seconded the motion, which was carried unani moualy ar.d with great applause. The thou igYsisr returned thanks, and the Meeting was aimolved.

Taylor also spoke at great lecgth from endow of Mr. lainbton's lodgings. lAA - CASH! ArE RLECTION. On Friday the electitin of Members to serve in Parliament for this county commenced at ten o'clock. JOHN . Anntsosr, jun., Esq., the Sheriff's Assessor, opened the Lunn of Election in the Shire-ha:l, at Lencaster, in the alt. settee of the High S:teriff, who was prevented front attending by indisposition. As soon as the usual ceremony of opening the Court was gone through, H. Both HoonTost, Esq., came forward to propose for the choice of the freeholders John Blackburne, Esq. Ile said, that the great mercies of trade and commerce which had taken place in this county, of late years, demanded that its particular interests should be represented in Parliament by men of experience, ability, and zeal. The gentleman whom he had proposed was known to the electors by a connection of upwards of 40 years, during which 1 , peeiod he had been their esteemed and respected Representative in Parliament. In the course of this long service it had been the good fortune or Mr. Blackburne to receive at times the marks of the highest degree of satisfaction from his constituents. Ile had spent the beat dies of his manhood, and now had grown grey in their service. He did not mention these facts as so many claims on the support of the freeholders, but as proofs that Mr. Illackionrne had merited a continuation of the confidence which now in old age lie ventured to solicit. It was understood that a third Candidate would be proposed that dry, and to a part of the address of that gentle. man he now wished to advert for a moment. The gentleman who ironed this address stated, that Mr. Blackburne was unlit for the duties and fatigues attending the office of their Representative. He did not airee with the worthy gentleman in this anertion. He was v ell acquainted with Mr. Blackburne, and he found in him a !xenon fully adequate to discharge with efficiency, as he would do with zeal, the various duties of their Member ; and the county, he trusted, would confirm the same opinion. He concluded by pro ! prising Julio Illackburne, Esq., as a tit and proper person to be I chosen as one of the Representatives of the County of Lancaster. E. 4:insole, Esq. seconded the nomination; and praised in terms of great energy the character, private u well as public, of Mr. Blukurne. As a father, a landlord. a muter and a friend, his • conduct was above all praise; and in his public act, he was well known to be genuinely loyal to his King, and true to the church. For these as well as for other good qualities. they had chosen him for their representative in nine successive Parliaments. Would they now torn their backs upon an old and faithful officer, one who bad grown grey in their service. Should they discard hint for Baying ton soon, perhaps. exhauated his strength ?—No. The sentiments which the rreehalders themselves must possess, in order to be guilty of an act of such ingratitude, never in his opinion tc.tanted the breast of an Englishman. Ile was convinced that they could not entreat the honour snot; safety of the country to worthier hands than those of the worthy and excellent gentleman whose nomination he had thh pleasure of seconding. tebetra, mixed widi LAWItENCE RAWSTOariE, Esq. said that he wished to call the attention of his brother freeholders to the merits of another of their late Representatives. After speaking in terms of eulogy of the Right lion. Lord Stanley, a nobleman who had eiready, in three successive Prrliarnenta, dignified and enhanced the utility of the office, by the ability and industry which he uniformly exhibited in the discharge of the duties connected with it, lie proposed the KW* Lord. W. Towstev, r. q . (of Townhead) seconded the nomination in a nest speech. in which he congratulated die country on the pre valence of liberal opinions amongst the Members of Governmen t This improvement was to be attributed to the efforts made by the body which was constitutionally employed in stitching over, and regulating the acts of the Ministers; a body of which his noble friend formed one of the most enlightened and useful Members. It. JAI:1:30g. fs q . then proposed Alexander Nowell, Esq. of Underley Park, add was seconded by B. Townley, Esq. U. BLACaacax r. addressed the freeltoliers in a short speech, in which het declared his readiness, and hoped he should be able to prove has capacity to NM: the county. Lotto STANLEY neat engaged the 'attention of the freeholders, at some length, asserting the utility of a vigilant. constitutional, but not factious opposition in Parliament, to restrain the growth of power, and check the tendency to lavish expenditure of public money. Ain Now EL I. said, that having been honoured by n requisition, most rt speciality signed. he could not do less, to skew his sense of the obligation thus conferred upon him, than by standing unshrlnk inKly the test of a poll. He disavowed all political connexions, or party interference of any kind. Sir TUOMAS D. I ESC ETU, Bart.—Gentlemen freeholders, I find myself placed in a situation of considerable embarrassment, because I feel that I stand before you under circumstances impe -1 fancied in the history of elections. Having declared at the Last genera election fur this county that I would not take any step, much less present any claim in my own behalf, that would interfere with the interests of Mr. Illackurne, I out now called on to repeat that declaration. I stated then, as I state now, that whenever the circumstances arising from the events of nature, or from the sense of the county being declared, would give me the opportunity, then, and not till then, I would prefer my claims to its confidence. In deed, it is the more incumbent on me to make this declaration at present, because Air. Balton has made the avowal that he abstained nom coming forward on account of the county being kept in a state of suspense as to my intentions, under the eircumst.inces in which we ore placed. At the same time that I made the above declare. don I added, that tinder no circumstances should I take any step, or duller any to be taken, that would prejudice the interests of a most highly respexted, most ancient, and true friend to the county, and that would affect the peace of the county by disturbing the claims of the two Candidates I now see before me. These are the reasons that have induced me to abstain front coming forward upon this occasion. By doing so I think I should have been guilty of a breach of filth. Haring thus explained the reasons why I have nut taken a more active part, I proceed to the consideration of the I peculiar circumstances in which I find myself placed. humours have been afloat to the effect, that attempts were making to obtain a requisition in opposition to the interests of the Noble Lord I see before me. Mr. Jac xson—No such thing. (Hisses.) Sir THOI. lirsKE rot.—l beg to repeat that rumours have been , Whim to the effect I have mentioned.—(Cris of " No, no.") Such ate the rumours, I do not state that they are true. It was not I until two days ago that I have known that such a . requisition was presented, and sanctioned by a gentleman opposite. NVliat was my netunishroent, when I received by express a copy of the &Edna, of the gentleman opposite; in which it is said, that he came forward, not in opposition to Lord Stanley, but to that highly.royeved individual Mr. Blackbume—that long-tried servant who had grown grey in their service; whose grey hairs , Witted Li:n to the respect as well as to the exerthms of every man in the comity, toe his restoration to that respectable lima , tion winch he had so well filled. Alluding to this requisition, I ant inn meaning the least disrespect to the gentleman opposite; but it is due to nay Hon. Friends around me, to say that a more unhandsome (1 use the mildest term,) a more unhandsome at tempt to injure the interests of declared Candidates, and disturb the peace of the county, I never knew of in the whole course of Perliament.:ry History. (Applause and hisses, great tumults ) My friends, I an not to be put down in title way ; I am not to be pre vented from making observations, which I deem of importance, by any clamour that may be raised against me. (Applaud.) I ant Ll' too independent principles, of mo independent a station to be deterred by opposition front doing my duty, which I am called on by conscience to di-charge. (Great applause) I have fel: it due to the county to make these utrtervat'one, because, on an occasion when we are required to exercise ate of our greatest privileges— , that of returning two St and proper persons as one representatives to Path:mien% it is of the utmost treportance that the county should know what is intended to be done. I feel that this, therefore, is en attempt to disturb the peace of the county, and to take it by sur prise ;an attempt which I say is not to be peaks,. With all re spect for the third Candidate, and I believe hint to be possessed of all those feelings and principles of honour, which shmtld attach to a (candidate; but I must say, that it would have been only al, act of common courtesy in him, and I.i+ party. to have made known In proper time, what they intended to do—(a vnice, " It was well known in Liverpool ;") if so. it was known only to a tee—it was not known to the county at large—to those great interests, which are entitled to be consulted, and might to take the lead upon all such eccasions. (Cries of "no such thing.") Now, as to my ow.t peculiar situation, having made the declaration I have at the last general election, how do I stand ? (A voice. " very well." I ant pledged tOstiPpoet the interests of my lion. Friend. Mr. Illackburne, and no exertion* of mi ne shal l be spared in his behalf. I must make, however, thi s reservat i on , t h at s h ou ld it appear d ot i ng t h e contest necessary that I should come forward, I hope my lion. Friend will pardon me for doing so. The Honourable Baronet then said, that he trusted the county would support Mr. Black burnt, and that they would follow his example, each gentleman bringing up his own t e n ants f ree o f expellee to Mr. Mackin:roe. Alr. Nowt ex declared that behest issued his address wititio half an !.ettr alter reed( h:g the Requisition. THE BRITISH PRESS.

PRESTON ELECTION. rill DAY. JI-NE The hate of the poll, at the close (five o'clock) on Thursday even ing, war thus— Mr. Stallley Mr. ‘food - 568 I Captain Barrie -326 i 31r. Cobbett Cobbett lost oa the day's poll sixty-six orlon• the third Candi date. --r -tonny.TT appeared on the hustings yesterday evening (Thurs day), and alter some inflammatorysentences to the mob, such as " You shall soon pull down your tyrants," attacked Ur. Stanlu with the coarsest ridicule. Take a specimen--" Gentlemen, slr. Stanley fancies he is a handsome man, and says he is a favourite with 'II ladies of Yteston.—that they are all in love with hint. Gen tlemen, it they ar c i n l ove with hint, they have a very odd way of *hewing their love. by throwing %Fifth:. into his face. Miss , ...) Now I, too, think hi m a favourite with the ladies of Prodr• but never received that sort of proof of their love. It remind,. me of the two last lines of an epigram, addressed by a lover to his mistress-- I'd excuse you, my dear, for dissembling your lore, But •hy did you kirk rue down stairs So Mr. Stanley may say to his lowersof Preston— ` I'd excuse you, my dears, f o r disguising your lore, But why did you spit In my faze?' (Uproar.)— If I am rot returned for Preston, I'll make the eleLtion void." It is unnecessary to add, that Mr. Stanley did ti n t deign to it ter a syllable in reply, to a man whom he holds (louse his own words) "in abhorrent contempt." After the parties returned to their re spective inns, Cobbett made his usual speech, not a word new ; his rhetorical invention appetite quite rehoused, so in the absence of novel topics, he treated them with a repetition of his abuse and ri dicule of Mr. Stanley. This delicacy of his wit, well allied the taste of hie ragged audience (" fit body for fit head.") They ex pressed their delight by roaring applause-s. Capt. Bannia m u stered a strong and most respectable body of friends in his procession, and briefly addressed them from his hotel. " Gentlemen, I told you yesterday that I would yet be at the head of the poll, over Mr. Wood ; I am happy now to inform too, that try prediction is now about to be fulfilled. My chase of him, to use a nautical phrase, WJS a stern chase, and a stern chase is always a long chase, and when once you continue to keep a goal look out, you are sure to overtake the prize at last, particularly if bite happens to be made of Frern spocl". By continuing your ex ertions, Gentlemen, you will place me at the head of the poll. It has been reported, by my enemies, that I intend to give tip the ship—it is false ! I will stay in the good ship Preston while there are two sound planks in her. Taken by the hand, as I have been. by the respectable gentlemen of Preston, I will not deceive them, I cannot deceive them ; they have stood firmly by me from the be ginning, and I will stand by them as faithfully to the end." (Cheers.) Captain COLQVIT.—Ladies and Gentlemen, I beein whit the Ladiea, when. on unuotal way of beginning an electioneering speech, but I thank the Ladies for their exertions and favours. am proud thee took my advice—" England expects every man will do his duty," and why may we not expect the women also to do their duty ? lam glad to announce that Mr. Cobbett at last came to-day to his good humour • he has sad that Mr. Grimahaw would make his Members of Parliament out of deal boards and scantlings. If Mr. Grimshaw could make a Member of Parliament. I can't tell, I am sure, out of what materials he would make them ; but I do know if von waxen Member of my gallant friend Captain Barrie, you will make him of heatt of oak. Mr. Cobbett has been in the habit of calling my friend the Resident Canada Commissioner —now as Mr. Cubbett is so fond of finding nick-names for all his opponents, I don't see why we could not give a name to Mr. Cob bett himself; and the name which we fix upon him might be the Resident Register.maktr of Fleet-street. (Cheers.) Mr. Cobbett is getting some politeness too ; at first he designated my friend by no other name than the Canada Commissioner, while to-day lie condescends to acknowledge hint a Captain, and even added som e compliments to his frank sincerity ; I am glut of this, Gentlemen, for we don't want to conduct the busineot in enmity. My gallant friend has been reproached with having been out of the country; but you, Gentlemen, did not think that a fault in hint, when, in the year 11115. he'retorned to your town after the performance of glo rious deeds. 1 hope. Gentlemen, you will not forget the ens:males tie feeling, of applause and attachment with which rot% received him on that oremlon—that in the recollection of those feelings, they will excite a renewal of your exertions for his success. I said, that Radicals anti Democrats have always, when they have obtained power, proved the greatest tyrants upon earth, 1 understand the assertion has given offence to some. I did not intend it for any par ticular persons; but if the cap fits, let them wear it. I defy any man living to contradict the truth of that assertion. Bonaparte commenced his career at Toulon, by calling himself Brutus. and becoming a democrat; yet, he afterwards became the arbitrary Monarch of France—overturned its liberties by a military domino. Lion, and lost that domination in consequence of the arbitrary exer. vise of his power. But lie was nothing to his predecessor of the Revolution. Robespiere and others; who. while professing liberty and liberal opinions, waded knee-deep in the blood of the people. Marat, another professed patriot, proposed to cut off the heads of all the inhabitants of France, who were above twenty years of age; and for what purpose do you think?—Why, for regenerating the nation. It is very well for us, then, we have no alarm amongst us here to-day, for by his plan of regeneration the heads of most of us would leave our shoulders, except those of the ladies around us, none of whom are, lain sure, above twenty (Cheers and laughter,) and, therefore. not qualified for the democratic mode of political regeneration. (Laughter.) I will conclude, Gentlemen, by declar. ing my fixed resolution, to raise my vo i ce i n d e f ence o f friend, ' anti stand by hint till the last drop of my blood. The gallant Captain's speech was much cheered, and the multi tude quietly dispersed. FRIDAY. The polling hal become more quick and quiet today. The numbers at the close stood thus:— FRIDAY, SEVENTH DAY. Slinky . . 1301 Barrie - . . 403 Wood - - 42 - 2 I Cobbett - 321 Cubbett lost on the day's poll 112. At the rising of the Court, Cubbett came down and &reused Mr. Horrocks, an extensive manufacturer, son of the late Member, of subordination of perjury. in compelling his workmen to vote for Capt. Barrie, after they had promised their support to Mr. Wood. Mr.llorrocks indignantly contradicted the assertion. Cobbett re peated the charge, and proceeded to harangue about corruption and bribery, the Pope and the devil. Gentlemen, I hate the Pope, but then f hate the devil more. Gentlemen, bribery is the devil_ you have been called upon to abjure the Pope to-day. but I'll call on you to abjure the devil corruption, to-morrow. Here his ora tion was drowned by hissing. hooting—" (lo to Coventry." " No bone-grubbing." " Pay Burdett his money." Cobbett turned on his opponents in a fury, threatened them with his fist, roared at them with ad his might, and pointed them out to the mob. He then commenced a string of imprecations on the man whom he should discover to have taken n bribe for his vote. " I'll expose him— I'll drag him before the public—l'll hold him up to the scorn of men—l'll make his name notorious from one end of the kingdom to the other—front John n' Groat's to the Devil's —l—l'll nail his name to the gallows tree—l'll gibbet hien all his life— I'll make him dcteated and loathed through the land." The hootiug commenced again. Cubbett completed his scale of (limn in the midst of the most tumultuous uproar of hooting and hums, hug. At last, etlaged by the opposition, lie pointed! to Captain Bartie's friends and waved his hand to the mob, apparently sig nifying his wi sh that they should attack that part of the hustings where his enemies stood. The multitude rushed towards it with a Ravage shout, and Captain Barrie and his friends weed themselves by a precipitate flight. Cobbett paraded town in the evening, standing in an open carriage, and bowing to the acelynations of the rabble. He afterwards gave them a speech. FATIVIWAY 31onstxo, FIGUT O'CLOCK, Cobbett is expected to pot the oath sgair.st bribery and cm ruption to-day. In his speed) from the window of the Inn, yes terday morning, he repeated his charge against 3lr. Horrocks, and added, that when lie had acciited that gentleman of subordination and perjury on the hustings, he, for a few moments. sneaked away, without denyiny the het. This assertion of Cobbett'a is false. I have already mentioned that 31r. Hormel(' contradicted Cobbett's statement iii the must prompt, distinct, and indignant manner. The troops left the town this morning. Mr. iVousl has not yet re.appeared on the hustinga. Sir Thomas Iteevor and the three nominal candidate's have vanished front the poll-books. Sir Timm was not frigheened from it by the largeness of the expenses, as some of our contemporaries have it. Ile has no money to spend, and never contemplated n real contest in his own name. The nomination of him wan merely a trick of Cobbett's, fur the porpoise of polling two tallies at a time; but this being detested by the counter nomination of an additional one by each or the others, the whole four nominees have, of comp?, withdrawn themselves from the contest. The Catholics are brought up to vote, though the Oath of Su pnd reac m is put to th e voters by the Commissioners out of Court, an d a to that effect from the Commissioners, requwed from each elector before he in permitted to vote. The matt er i s managed thus: som e of Conbetem Protevant friends, present themselves before the Commissioners, and give in the name and occupations of Cadialica as their own. The oath is put to them by the Commissioners. These schemers being good Protestants, take the oath against Popery, with n safe conscience. They then receive papers trout the Commissioners, certifying that the persons whose names are mentioned In the certificates have taken the oath. They hand these certificates over to the Catholics, whose names they huh falsely assumed; the Catholic's come up to the pall—prrszni the certificates to the returning officrr—are examined as to their name, trade, and residence. Their answers agree with the description of them in the certificates. They are admitted to rote, in the very teeth of the law thus evaded, and in. • Mr. Wood's co!ours arc green. variably girt' plumper% to Cobbett. This base practice was 6rat introduced at 11.: cn.itcved ciection or the year 180; but was con. siderably clieck , 7ll by the publication or the foliowing declaratinn from the Catholic Priests of Preston. The last paragraph applieS to the trick which has been now reeled by Ccbbett. " THE CATHOLIC') OF " We, the undersigned Catholic Clergymen of l'reston, anxious for the spiritual welfare of our flock, and particularly to guard them from error in matters of faith, understanding that extraordinary attempts are making to seduce them from their duty, by persuading them to take the Oath of Supremacy, adopt this public mode itf de claring that the maid oath is of such a nature that no Catholic can with a safe conscience take it. " It is an article of Catholic Faith that St. Peter was constituted. II our Lord Jesus Christ, the supreme head of the Church, and that the Bishop of Rome, 10'0 is the successor or St. Peter, in herits the same vpirffool pnw.tr and jurisdiction over the whole of that Church. This tenet is, however, abjured by the oath in question, and we therefore cannot but prom acre those Catholics who take it to be guilty, a: once, of rSUJIIRY and APO;Tm:Y. " And whereas we have been informed that so:ne bare presented at the bustiogn certificates, AIM!, purporting that they have taken the above oaut, we further declare that it in equally criminal and scandalous for Catholics to qualify themselves to vow by such an imposition. " .1. Dussr, J. !Sinn, " .f. O. Monet's, J. IJoaE. " St. March 20, 11;20." It is expected that this declaration will be re-published now, by the present Catholic Priests of Preston. If it will not, they must for ever forfeit all claims to that high, moral, and libe ral: reputa tion, which they have hitherto held among the respectable inhabi tants of Preston, Protestant as well as Catholic. The Duke de Monte Bello, a peer of France, (son of lainnes.one of 'loner:Jute's Marshals), with two other French gentlemen, Count Durergier and M. Aleyer, stopped here, on their waT to see the Westmorland election. The Mayor, N. Orimshaw received them on the hustings with the most polite attentions, and enter tained them in the evening et dinner. Though they declared them selves Liberals, they expressed their disapproval of the almost un limited admission of the multitude to the r:ght of polling in Pres ton, and appeared .hocked at the raggedness and ruffianism of Cob bett's voters. When ore of Cobbeit's friends wished to turn his attention to the Duke, " said the Iran of the gridiron, " not look at him ; what is he but sun of o of llonaparte's generals? what is he tome ? not half so great a mon as myself; besides, (sig nificantly) an:re would be no use in humbugging him, you Lnow he has no 'sit.: in Preston." _ TwEr.vuo'CLoca, SATURDAY. Cobbett has not appeared on the hustings this morning, nor have his advocates put the Bribery Oath, as he threatened last night. lie has given several of his second votes to Captain Barry to-day. It is most certain he cannot come in. He is sinking lower on the poll every day. It is equity clear he intends to dispute the validity of the election, by petition to the House of Commons. The two other new Candidates are running a trek and neck mite of it; nobody can tell which will win. the Tory ( Barrie), or the Reformer (AVood.) The aristocratic Whig, Stanley, conies t❑ triutnphatitly on the sup port of all parties, IS big., Tories, and Reformers, all except the Radicals—the 7:11i1 crinl suffrage men.

NORTHUMBERLAND ELECTION. On Wednesday bit, the Honourable Mr. Liddell, accompanied by his brother the Honourable T. Liddell, and various friends in several carriages and four, again paid a visit to the town of North Shields, when his reception was as enthusiastic as on his visit im mediately after the late contest. Between 10 and II o'clock in the morning, three bands of music (one of them wearing uniforms of red and white), assembled in Dockstray.square, surrounded by an immense crowd of people: and about noon set off to meet Mr. Liddell. They were shortly afterwards followed by about fifty gentlemen on horseback, wearing red and white favours. As soon as the carriage of Mr. Liddell was met, the horses were taken front it, and he was drawn into the town amidst the cheers of a most immense crowd by which he was surrounded, and preceded by a profusion of flags. Favours and flags were displayed I from almost every window, which were crowded with ladies. On reaching the Committee Room in Howard -street, the Honourable Gentleman shortly addressed the assembled crowd, thanking them for their kind and flattering attention, and shortly alluding to the Mecting at Morpeth. Ile then passed along Tyne•street (across which there was suspended a wreath of wild flowers, roses, Ikc.) and though Dockwray.sguare to the George Tavern, where was as sembled a large body of gentlemen and ladies, whom after cordi ally greeting, he addressed, as we hear front a correspondent, to the ' following effect He begged to return them his heartfelt acknowledgements for the kind and flattering reception which they had given hint, and which was even more enthusiastic than the last. He had deemed it proper, front the respect formerly shewn him, to visit Shields once more, to return his sincere thanks to the freeholders of Shields, for it was in this town the first impulse was given to his cause. He could never forget his former triumphant reception, but what was he to think of this? As long as he lived he never could forget the feeling displayed towards hint by the people in Shields. He ad. veriest to the favourable issue of the meeting of the preceding day at llorpeth. lle could assure them, that if be was advanced to the highest pinnacle of honour, he would only consider himself as s public servant ; lie promised to use every exertion for the relief of the shipping intetest, now so much depressed, and for this purpose he would consult with those persons who, from their experience, were best qualified to direct Isis judgment. Ile had heard of Can didates who boasted of their SUCCess in the West and in the North and in the Smith, but lie was happy to say that in all parts of the county he had met with the most flattering reception. YORKSHIRE. [From the 1.,...ed5. The reason assigned by Mr. Bethell for his retirement is the e7,-. pence incident to a contested election for this great county. This gentleman had, we understand, no objection to embark a limited, sum, not exceeding 40,0001., in the contest; but as twice this amount would probably have been required, and as the wine-rip tions in his favour up to a late hour on Monday night did not amount to more than 1'2,000/., he took the prudent resolution of retiring till a more auspicious period, and communicated his inten. tion by a circular addressed to the Committee of Lord Milton and Mr. Marshall. and to the Committees of Mr. \Wilson and Mr. Dunconibe, which notification was received about midnight on the flay of nomination. Mr. BeTiteta..—Some surprise was excited in this place on Thursday afternoon, by the display of Mr. Bethell's flag front the window of the White Horse Inn ; this surprise was increased by an anonymous placard, posted in the rreets, inviting the frlendsof Mr. Bethel! to meet at that inn, at six o'clock in the evening, to con. eider of the best means of securing his return to Parliament. At the hour appointed our reporter went to the White Horse, and, o inquiring for the room where the meeting was held, he was shown into the bar, where he saw several tradesmen of the town quietly taking their glasses, some of whom afterwards adjourned into Mr. Bethell's committee room. On repairing there we found halls dozen, nay, not so many, only five persons assembled, which number was increased to seven by the arrival of two other re porta,. The individuals assembled were not entirely inactive, but amused themselves by throwing among the crown assembled in front of the inn a great number of Mr. Bethell's cards. After waiting about MI hour, and finding no increase of company, we ' ventured to inquire when the chair was likely to be taken, which drew from Mr. bees, of Meanwood, the following statement :—That Mr. Bethell's committee hail received pla cards and letters troll Wakefield, where n similar meeting had been held the preceding evening, urging them to take steps for bringing 31r. liethell forward again; he had seen Mr. Dobson and Mr. Gott on the subject, who said that, being ' members of Mr. Bethell's committee, and having been consulted j on his withdrawing front the contest, they could take no steps in any farther proceedine, and that if any thing was done, it must he done by new committee., as the former committees could not take any measures to bring Mr. Bethel! forwsrd again. Mr. Lees added he was Ignorant by whose authority the placard convening the meet ing had been issued. After giving this explanation Mr. Lees withdrew. Several persons came afterwards rind looked into the room, but seeing so slender an attendance withdrew. We remained until all the persons,eweept a single individual and the reporters, had left the room when, being the majority of the persons present, the reporters adjourned the meeting sine die. We undentand that the hill was published en the authority of a shopkeeper in Briggate in this town ; we have not been able to learn by whose authority then Hag was hoisted. The friends of Mr. Bethel!, at Wakeirld, or rather, those who wish for a contest, held a meeting on Wednesday, and passed re. solutions expressive of their regret that he had retired. They also opened a list of such as would go to York on their own charges to rota for that gentleman, and upwards of two hundred names are said to have been put down. 'flit. step, however, has not any countenance from those gentlemen who were of Mr. Bethell's com mittee. We are very credibly informed (says the ffiekejle/d.fonrna/) that yesterday a deputation from the IVaketichl Blue Committees set out in a chaise and B a rr for York, having for their object the calling forward of illr. Willoughby, the nephew of Lord Middle ton, to offer himself as a third candidate on the " No Popery" in terest. We cannot help surmising that this treasure has had its origin principally with a few choice spirits, who are loath that the goctl doings of a contested election should have so short a date, and are willing to keep them up a little longer. It k now finally lixed that the title of our late worthy Repre sentative will be Baron Stuart, of Wortley. The patent of nobility has, we understand. been delayed merely to give that gentleman an opportunity of taking leave of his late constituents, as a Commoner. in the Castle-yard, at York, and this object being now attained, his elevation to the peerage will take place without delay. ROCHESTER. On Saturday, Gen. Armstrong declined any farther contest. The Candidates severally addressed the elcciors, and the %MIA ceremony of chairing Wll3 carried into effect without any d:sturbancv.

The conduct of this City has surprise,' most people. It anomie inexplicable to them why Ellice and Mono should be so strort i v, and it is believed, an successfully opposed by the former eoneite. cots of those two gentlemen, particularly Mr. Ellice, wh o‘e eze: . tions on behalf of the Silk Trade are well known and rememberet And what added to the difficulty of solving all this, is th e e i mar. stance of the freemen having brought forward two gentlemen of whom and of whose political principles many p ereoor pond tow ignorant.

Min. This gentleman was. however, advised by his friends not to do so. and he acconlingly declined. In the mean time the worktr.ea paraded the streets, hearing on long poles several empty bottles. This was the first indication of the real cause of objection to one of their former members, who, it was said. bad declared in the House of Commons that 101. a.week was enough to maintain a man. his wife, and three children, and that if they received more it wa s s p ent in luxuries. particularly gin. The empty bottles, therefore, sigei tied that they had got no gin. It was also stated, that 3lr. Ellice had said to the deputation of the masters who waited on him re. specting the driwback on the duty--" Now, gentlemen, return to Coventry, lower your rate of wages, and you will be able to eiropt•t e with the whole world." These, then, appear to be the true tessons why the operatives are opposed to Mr. Ellice's return. They con. alder him as " for the master and against the man." A third ground of objection to the late :Wernher is, that he supporod the Catholic claims. The "No Popery" cry having been 2n adjnnet to the other causes of complaint. With regard to the other old :Wernher, Peter Moore, the chief ground of objection to him seems to be, imbecility. They familiarly speak of him as " the old fool." Ili' conduct in 1820, when he called in the soldiery, is remembered to his prejudice, and altogether there prevails a feeling of di sgust to . wards him. On one occasion when the men were parading the streets, a Mr. Woodcock, an attorney, and son to an opulent banker of this city. addressed them from his garden wall, zed asked them what it was they wanted. The men replied that they would no longer have the present Members thrust upon them by their masters, but that they were determined to have at least one new Member. Mr. Woodcock asked if they would pledge themselves to support a gentleman if he shou!il bring one forward, they said they would. lie then wished to know if they were satisfied ? They cried out, " Will Ellice throw off that old f-1 Moore ?" Mr. Woodcock replied, that he could give no pledge as to the conduct of that Gentleman. This answer did not content the men ; and on beirnc asked whether they would support two new Candidates if they offered themselves, up. wards of 10,000 voices exclaimed, " Yes, we will." " Then you shall have them," was Mr. Woodcock's reply, and the men dim. permed. The corporation has espoused the cause of the operatives, and it is be the combined power of that body, and the workiner., that Mr. F yler anti Mr. Ileatheute hare been brought forward, in opposition to the master manufacturers, who support Moore and Ellice, Much has been said respecting the ambiguity of the new Candidates. They are accused of having no political creed, and they are even raid to be Radicals, seeking to steal into Parliament under the banners of the Tories. There does not, however, appear to be/very good grounds for these charges; fur the Gentlemen are both well known , and their principles tolerably well ascertained. Mr. Fyler has been in the army, is a man of good property, and i s of t h e same politica as the liankes's of Code Castle, with shorn he is very intimately connected. Mr. Ileathcote is a man of large landed property, particularly in Staffordshire, where his influence is very extensive. He espouses similar principles to those of hit colleague. They are both opposed to any farther concession to the Roman Catholics. . _ The contest continues to be carried on with great determination by the Light Blues (Fyler and Ileathcote's parry), and with every expectation of ultimate success. Indeed the majority of votes have been, it is said, already polled in their favour, so that if Ellice and Moore should poll all that remain, they would still ba defeated. At the close of the poll on Saturday, the 17th day, the numbers were : Fyler 1.490 1 Ellice . . 1.1*23 Ileatlicote . 1,501; I sloore . . LK'S Majority against 111 r. Ellice - - 386 31ijoritY against Mr. Moore . The Candidates then retired to their respective inns, where they severally addressed the people. Mr. Fr Lau congratulated them on the success that had at tended their efforts. He avowed his principles to be liberal and ir dependent, and declared, that should he have the honour of a seat in this Parliament, every subject should receive from him the 11:01t serious consideration, and that he would vote only upon conviction. There were, however, two subjects, on which he did not hesitate explicitly to declare his opinions —those were the Catholic Claims and the Corn Laws. With respect to the first, he would unequi. vocally state, that after the most mature reflection he hail arrived at the conclusion that, to grant any political power to the Roman Catholics, would be to endanger the stability of Church and State. lie promised to attend particularly to the interests ef the winking part of the community, the labours of whom he felt ought to be fairly estimated and liberally rewarded. lie then alluded to what he termed a vile and calumnious attack, which had been made in one of the London Papers upon his character, tad declared that, be the writer who he may, lie would proclaim him both a liar and a coward. (Immense applause.) He was pre pared to prove this, and challenged his asperser to avow him s elf if he dared. (Cheers.) Ile repeated his thanks to the electors, and hoped they would not relax in their exertions to make his triumph complete. Mr. II EaTileCerE then shortly addressed the people, express ing his gratitude to them for the encouraging support he had expe rienced from then', and repeating his declatations that he would act upon principles of the most perfect independence. Mr. Ei.t.ICF. addressed his partisans front the balcony of the Craven Arms hotel. Notwithstanding die present state of the poll was unfavourable, he still did not despair of again having the ho nour of being returned their Representative. It was his firm deter mination to keep open the poll so long as :here was a single vote to be given. The conduct of the corporation was really pitiful t and Ruch as the men of Coventry ought to resist to the utmost of their power. That body of worthies were nut content with the vast power and influence they possessed in this city, but they sought to have the persons who represented the interests of the men of Co. 'entry to be entirely at their own con:soul. Finding this impracti cable with him and his worthy colleague they hail brought forw:r.l two strangles, of whom nobody had ever before heard, and of whose sititiments evert , body %vs. , entirely ignorant The honeurat.l.t csn &date theu adverted to thi C idiotic question, of which he avowal him self to be a supporter upon the principle that lie would conceits that liberty of conscience to others which lie claimed for himself. It vas true he hail encountered sonic opposition ix his canvass on this account, but he wits happy to say that many of the oleievtions made to his conduct lied been overcome by those arguments. Me force of which had produced conviction on his man mind that neither the wifely of the Church nor the interests of the people would be at all injured by the fullest cor:mien to thrir Raman Catholic subjects. Referring again to the state of the thought he might prophecy that their opponents had exhausted their strength, by the fact that they had this very morning polled every one of their committee. lie then alluded to the charge brought against him for having said that ten shillings a week was sufficient for a labouring man. his wife, and three chil dren. This was a gross misrepresentation. lie never had used any such words. What he really had said silts, that whenever the circumstances of the country would permit a la bourer to maintain himself and family upon Ids. a week, as was the case in France, then might the (lovernnient reduce the protecting ditties on the silk manufactures. Ile was desirous that this ex. planation should go forth, fur lie was always anxious to have ha real sentiments understood. (Applause.) Mr. P. Moons: next addressed the people. Ile complained in very indignant terms of the tardy manner in which his friends went about redeeming their pledge of supporting him and his lion. Col league. Why did they keep themselves back ? There were hun dreds y e t to come, who had pledged themselves to support their former Representatives; and if it was r. messitry he would himself go to York and bring many of them who resided there to the poll. Ile had laboured incessantly since he had arrived among them. and as it was as much their cause as his own, they ought not to be so re luctant in discharging the duty they so munch owed to themselves. After repeating his political formula, the Hon. (leaden= retired amid the applause, mingled with hisses, of the people. The treating system is in full forte here, but nuthirig beyond an occasional squabble has occurred lug the bast few Jays. The gen rid opinion among the more respectable citizens is, that had Mr. Ellice come forward alone, and unconnected with ' Mr. Moore, his return would have been certain. Seine are even of opi nion that if he were nave to adopt that course lie would be success ful;—but in this they seem to be mistaken, if, as we haie before stated. the ituiority el votes have been abeady polled for the ono. site party.
