The result, however, he was sure, wool., be in fa. your of his Noble Friend, Lord J. Russell.. and he was convinced that it was the last time such a combination would dare to sbeir Itie!l." Lord lillswertvrtut endeavoured again to obtain a hearing, bet the noise was so great that it was impossible to hear him be yond the hustings, and, after waiting some time, hit Lordship observed, that there was an old adage, " Loud cry, and little wool, and he was afraid they would Had it so to their cost. The Rev. F. 11.

Rut he woold show, that in the votes he had given he had proved that he was destitute of common sense. The Rev.

This day a great eillirt has been made by the Blue party, Moore and Ellice, to bring forward their votent, and the result of the poll has given them a majority this day of upwards of 190 beyond yesterday ; but still, after the utmost exertions being used, there is an overwhelming majority of upwards of 650, and u there are nearly 2,00 n freemen polled out of about 3,000. there is no chance of their being able to overcome it.

The "Academic youth," now that the contest is drawing to a dose, are eiming every nerve for their respective favourite est , tlidates, whilst the Seniors of the common Rooms are giving then more solid proofs of their attachment by swelling their num bers on the poll. . . A contest look place last night in the Senate House, respecting a rote, and was continued for half an hour, though in so low a tone of voice as to prevent me firom learning its nature in time for the post. I now, however, learn that it originated in the circumstance of a gentleman, intending to vote for Mr. Genlburn, filling up • ticket by mistake, on which Will the name of Mr. Boraces. The vote had been tendered to the Vice Chancellor and accepted, and the Pull-Clerk was in the act of entering it, when the mistake was discovered. The gentleman Immediately iiisinted on being allowed to correct the mistake; and upon the poll' whether he was entitled so to do, a long and animated discussion took place. It was im possible to collect the arguments amid the uoise, hut the result was, the granting of permission to rectify the mistake. A nearly similar mistake is said to have occurred at the last election. During the hustle and excitation which this atiair produced, a London pick. pocket contrived to gain admission into the body of the Hall, by dressing himself in a Master of Artt' gown. His first attempt, however. to exercise hit craft, proved him to be ear from a master of that art, for lie *as detected, and is now in durance vile in the Castle : W. was fbund is hiiipocket.

OXFORD COUNTY ELECTION. FRIDAY. This day, pursuant to appointment on Monday last, a County Court waa held in the Town Flail, to commence the County eke tion. At ten o'clock the High Sheriff took his chair, when all the three Candidates, Mr. now., Mr. Stratton, and Mr. Ashum, Were conducted to the Town Hall by the respective cavalcades that had gone nut to meet them. After the King Writ and the Bribery Act had been read, the candidates were proposed as before. Two freeholders then called upon Mr. Stratton to swear to his qualification, _ _ The Honourable Gentleman said this was a most ungracious proceeding. He pledged his word and honour that he was quali fied; but he would take the oath, if Mr. Ashurst and Mr. lane required him to do so. Mr. Whitely, as counsel for Mr. lane, diiiclairrtel all interfe• rence on his part. The qualification was railed for by two freehol ders who had a right, by the Act of Parliament, to require the oath to be taken. Mr. STRATTON then demanded the names of the freeholders thus acting ungraciously, as he said ; and then, after taking the omit, be ouserved that it wu no more titan far that the other Can didates should take it also. Mr. As HURST and Mr. FAM E then swcre to their respective qualification. On a show of hands, the High Sheriff &Oared the itsjority In favour of Mr. Stratton and Mr. Ashurst.

READING ELECT/OX. READING, JUICE 16 At the close of the poll last night, though Mr. Spence was twenty-five below Mr. Palmer. yet it was evident, from the anxious looks and Increased activity of the Leto gentleman's friends, that they were not without apprehensions as to the result, and doubtless, if it should be unfavourable to them, it mutt be mainly attributed to the skilful manonivre of theie adversaries, in inducing Mr. Wakefield to withdraw. It is evident that the Blues, who would consider the election of Mr. Spence as a great victory over the Ra dicals, as they call their opponents, are using the MOM strenuous exertions to effect their purpose. Carrieges were sent olf in every direction to bring up such voters as were absent, and it is now ex pected that the contest will last possibly till the end of the week- Yesterday one of Mr. Spence's friends called upon a Mr. Stone. a very old and infirm gentleman, who ids said not to be very friendly to their object, to endeavour to bring Min over and get him up to the poll, but he could make no impression upon this stone. Shortly afterwards Mr. Spence himself waited upon him, but it would not do,lhe was not even permitted to see the old gentleman. A wag, who saw Mr. Spence go up to the door, observed, " You see they wish not to leave a stew unturned." , Indeed this /toying, in its usual metaphorical sense, may be well applied to both parties, for greater exertions, we believe, cannot he made than arc now making by each to insure success. The crowd in the body niche flail watt as great sod as noisy as usual, butt nothing particular occurred worthy of entice. At a quarter pest MX o'clock the Mayor rose, and said that he was happy to obt.rve that no &shit hence had occurred dur ing the day that called for any animadversion from him.

But these persons forget that they do not scruple to employ the Cwho hcs in the service of 41c ct) lorry ; the 4:Nihon:A do vary well as soldiers and sailors, and would risk their lives to advance the best interests of the country. It was only when of9ces of pofit and emolument were vacant, that they were found to be unfit to be trusted, anti then their enemies raised the old cry, " The Church is in danger." But (said the speaker) you will mit surely turn your backs upon his Lordship in this rec.iunt.

The reccrion with which you have met the men- tion of his rime is as creditable to rnu as it is honourable to him ; for it I roves th it you have not been inattentive observers of his parliamentary conduct. lie had observed, that vtlietievm a candi date was braitght tOrtvard, egsirst whom no definite chiege couli be substantiated, n cry has usually been set up of " No Popery ;" anti there arc some old =mien in this county who think, that in the vote which Lord John Russell gave in favour of the Roman Ca tholics. he Ind in view the overthrow of the Pr itestant Church, and the establishment of Popery upon its ruins. Rut in order to quiet the fart of these old lacks, he would mention the historic fact, that by means of an ancestor of his Lordship (the Earl of Re.dforil) the Reformation was effix:ed ; and the old women might rest assured his Lordship had no wish that they should kiss the toe of the Pope. With respect to the Corn Laws, he eimsi4ereti that they might repose great confidence in his Lordship, who would give his best avention to thia difficult question. la his estimation, how ever, the farmers did not require a high price—they rather wanted a steady price, to enable them to ascertain the worth of their farms when they entered utmn ;hem. At all events, it would be as wise to commit this queation to his L-rdship as to the Tory Candidates, and he felt assured they would be sati-tied with the result. Lord Joint Resseet. teen presented himself to the Meeting, within great applause. mid spoke nearly to the following effect ; " After the able awl eloquent speeches you have heard from the gentlemen who have so kindly nominated me, it become~ my ditty to ask, whether I have retained, or whether I have forfeited, the confidence of my constituents ? What has been my conduct that after I hare served the county for five years, a combination should have been formed to exclude me from my seat—a combination which have not scrupled to use menace and intimidation to effect their object ? They have elan resorted to misrepresentation, and an accusation has been made, which 1 have been told I should hear re peated on the hustings. They have of that there was an un derstanding between me and the Meuse of Montague, that when a memt)..r of that family came of age, 1 was to resign my seat to him. 1 challenge any one to come forward and substantiate the accusa tion publicly. I will pause, and allow them time to make up their minds to do en, if they can." After a pause of some minutes, his lewolehip reetimed—" I declare in the presence of my opeortents, and in the face of this numerous Meeting, that the reptet is false and calumnious- Yawing thus passed over, or rather fairly met, the attack upon my pi ir ate el.areeter, I now boldly ask, what I have &me to forfeit my pahlie diameter in the estimation of my constitu ents? 1 have voted ameinst the imposition of fresh taxes, and for the reduction of others—is that a crime against the freeholders of Hunt ingdonshire ? I have brought forward motions for the reduction of useless places—is that an offence against my constituents? In 1818, when there was great ngrieultural distress, the maxi mum peke of wheat, net which foreign corn could be im ported, was fixed at CBs. Sonic time afterwards, an alters ion was proposed in this law, and I sent a letter to my coned tuents, advising them not to ask for any alteration in the law, but to petition for a reduction of texts. This sureestion was adopted by itlinisters, and at the close of the Session I had the happiness of finding it alluded to by the Speaker of the Hoyle of Commons in his Address to the Throne, as the measure which had tended most to secure the liaptiimee and welfare of the country. Since' t'iat period, however, there has been a change in public opieton, and my opinion has underienne some alteration likewise. It has been *aid that I am an advecate for a free trade ; but I am not— knewing, that with the heavy pressure of taxation, this country cannot compete with other nations. To suppose that the farmers et home could produce corn as low as those aliened could do, was as absurd as to suppose that in a race, a porter heavily laden could outrun a person bearing only a feather. Havine said thus much upon this subject. I aid now turn to another, upon which my con duct has been coiled in question, r-!.pecting my vote in favour df Catholic Emancipatioe. In the last days of the expiring Peelle ment, 1 had the honour to present a Petition front the great body of Protestant Dissenters in London and Westminster., anti I most fully concur in the sentiments of that petition. I am a friend to religious as well as to civil liberty—l wish to abolish all religious tare, and I wish every permit to have the benefit of that abolition. It has beets said that it would be dangerous to grant liberty to the Roman Catholic.; but my opinion has lung been made up on that subject, and you woad deepiee me if, after having formed an opinion, I had not honesty ereeneh to avow it. Much as I value my seat, and highly as 1 appreciate the good opinion of the Free holders of Huntingdonshire, I would seemer resign it into tbeh hands than not be allowed to expecte my sentiments upon this and eyelet other eithjert freely and openly in my place in Parliament. To grant Emancipation to the Catholics, in my opinion, would not be attended with danger; and if I might hazard a prediction upon this subject, I would say, ill it if Emanciration was granted,l some of the richest Catholics in this country Would, within fifty years, rank among the best and warmest sup porters of the Protestant religion. The ',ruse of Hertel' has always been the friend of civil and religious liberty, and I am proud to pay, that an ancestor of trine hart shed his blood in defence of Pro estantism ; and this at the very time when the UM versities of Oxford and Cetmbridge were supporting the tottering cause of the Papists, and actually presented a memorial to Perlis meet, in which they stated that it was the duty of the people to pay obedience to their rulers in till matters of faith and doctrine. And yet three very Univershies are now matting forth the cry— ' " The Church is iu danger ;" and a descendent of • be noble house of Russell is derounced as an enemy to the Protestant Church. I have now gene over the charges against my private and public character, and I again nelt you, have I forfeited me claim to your esteem ? You have your choice. On one side is the cause of inde pendence—on the other, the cause of a coalition who will costly prove them telvta the servants of the 31inisters of the day t and have told you that you have pothing to Sip with Site lrinenctiOn 4 private life.

' General ONsi.ow then proposed Viscount Mandeville, and said bereft assured that if he was returned to Parliament, he would serve the /smote faithfully, and both the agricultnral and commer cial interest would find in him a zealous and active supporter. He was sure the Meeting would agree with him in his opinion of the Noble Plseacint, and that they would put him at the head of the poll, and keep him there. T. quistvrw, Esq. in a fcw wards seconded the nomination, and said he was confident that if his Lordthip was sent to Parini inert, Iris public conduct would merit their entire approhation. Lord Maine titer then in:vented himself to the Meeting, and was received with considerable applause, though not without some interruption front the flues. 110 Lord:hip %ad, " I come forward rated, free and independent, and if you think roper to elect me, I plidge myself to support every immure which may be Sir the good of the country, and of this county in particular." The High Sheriff then proccztled to take a Phew of hands for the respective candidates in the order In which they were proposed.

AloareTß, Juxr 13. A County Meeting was held at Morpettl, this day. pursuant to advertisement, for the purpose of nominating the f;atitlidates for the County of Northumberland at the ensuing Election. It is im. possible to describe the extreme bustle and ctnfusion which Per vaded the town from an early hour in the morning. The bands of the different Candidates played round the ',tracts from eight o'clock. About ten o'clock, Lord Howick, accompanied by several flentle men, was drawn in, preceded by a band of music, and an immense profusion of banners bearing various irecriptions. The envalcade proceeded about two miles out of town, and an its way was joined by great numbers of friends on horseback, anti in earnagee. After waiting a short time, the train of carriages accompanying Lord Howick drove up, anti the horsee being taken from the open car riage in which were hord llowtck, Mr. Lambton, the lion. Oen. Grey, and the lion. Charles they, and ropes being applied, it was drawn by the populace, amidst loud cheers, cowards al orpeth. At its entrance into alorpeth, the cays'eade erended at least half a mile in length. t M its reaching Lord Howick's Committee-room, it stopped, and the multitude loudly cheered his Lordship as he descended from his carriage. Mr. Bell was accompanied by seve ral friends in other carriages, and, afar being drawn round the market-place, amidst the cheers of the population, lie alighted utile Cornmittee•room. tile. Beaumont, with a train of eight or nine carriages. containing hie friends and agents, soon after entered in similar manner ; he also was drawn round the market before he alighted at his Committee-room. The Hon. Mr. Liddell entered the town last in an imposing manner, being preceded by numerous (gentlemen on horseback, and aecotnpanied by several carrisges. His reception, particularly from the females, who appeared at the windows of the houses, waving his favours, was extremely flatter ing. About twelee o'clock, the Candidates and their friends ar rived at the hustings, when the /scene became most splendid; the crowds of banners and the various binds forming a tumultuous grandeur not to be described. MATTHEW CLAYTON, Esq. in the absence of the ni K h sheriff . , who was indisposed, then opened the business of the Meeting, by reading the requisition. Jossru Lana, E.q. (of Lemington Hall) proposed the late Member for the county, T. W. fleaumor, Esq. which was se ' eantled_!y T. R. flatson,.Es a . T. W. RICATAMONT, Egg. then presented himself. Re condemned the present Meeting. He could not but consider it as most uncalled for and abets d. Nor would he have detained them one mnment to reni:trk upon it, did he not believe that his enemies were playing some unfair game behind the Curtain—that they had some secret and malicious end to serve—if they had not, why call such a Meeting ? Was it not that they intended to make known some priv a t e t ransact i on .. w hi c h t h ey hoped would cum the freeholders to break the pledgee of support they had already given to him. B u t h e was there to answer, if any man dared to ad vance any thing against the km-our, either public or trivate. Mr. LAKIITON immediately rose, and was proceeding to addrese the meeting, when he was amaile I w ittf delfening clivriour from Mr. Beaumont's friends: tile. Lambton perceiving this, said, " It Mr. Beaumont's frieods wished him ( Mr. to state hi. objection* to that gentleman, he would ;do so then ; if not he would wait till alcrwar is." The nose still continuing, Mr. Lambton did not persevere, and air C.LOHAwn proceeded to nominate Mr. Bell. He said-- Gentlemen, you hare once appointed Mr. Bell guardian or your interests, but the trial he bas had hut been too shore to enable those who are un..equainted with him to form a just estimate of his merits. But I cal assure you, gettlemen, that the longer }on know him, and the more you confide in him, the better you will like him. As we shall soon meet on the hustings at Alnwick, I will not trouble you further at present than to nominate Mathew Bell, Esq. as a tit person to rei.re eat this county in Parliament.— (Cheer!. C. ii.CLAVE alma, Esq. seconded the nomination. M. BELL, Esq. felt the wmost gratitude to the freeholders pre sent. He thanked them fur their attendance on the present occa sion. A great deal had been said or his being as old-fashioned Tory. lie gloried in the name—he was proud of being ranked with those who had. in the hour of danger, when the country was threatened with revolution, stemmed the torrent of distress, and brought the country to a state of the most enviable prosperity. He loved his Sovereign—he would su pp ort the measures of Ministers as far as they agreed with his conscience ; but he never would be come the blind tool of any party. lie hal no advantage to hope for—no frionds to serve ; and he was determined to secure their in dependence, at the same time that he maintained his own. It was almost unnecessary for him to state his opinions at large to them again ; they had Maid them before, and to that statement he we determined to adhere. lie was a decided enemy to slavery of every description. On the question o f C a th o li c emanci pation he Intuit he allowed to say, that in a Protestant country he could not grant that the offices of state should be filled by others than Protestants. He knew that by the open declaration of his opinions and feelings lie had set in array against him all the Catholic freeholders; but he did not fear them—he threw himself and his cause into the hands of his Protestant brethren ; and he had the utmost confidence hi the result. Mr. Mil denied that any desire to erialmee with any one existed on his part. He also declared that he did not enter tain the alighte,t feeling of hostility towards any of the other Candidates. Sir M. W. RlDLLY—Gentlemen—Connected as I am with the prosperity of your county, feeling as I do the deepest interest in every thing that can best promote its welfare and happiness, I think I cannot take any step more likely to lead to so great an ob. jest than by recommending Lord Howick to you for your !topic tentative its Parliament. lie has not yet been tried in public life. but he has that within him which will prove him a worthy scion of the stock from whieh he springs ; and if we require a pledge that he will be a faithful Representative. we have only to look for it to the example set him by his Noble Sire. (Chars.) If we require an individual who will support the true principles of civil and relit gious liberty, the best ri..(hts of the people lq the worst of times s if we want a man who will subject himself to the loss of power and place, who will disregard the alluretnents and patronage or office fur the purpose of fulfilling the important duties of a great and enlightened statesman, where can we look better than to the boa of Charles Grey ? Where can we look fo e o ne who will con scientiously discharge his duties by an indefatigable consideration of every thing that an be brought before the British Legislature than to the son of Lord Grey ? (Cheers.) My Noble Friend seeks not the empty honour of being an idle Representative, but to be a useful and honest Member of that Parliament in which the county of Northumberland ought to hare so great and powerful a Voice. [ therefore, convinced that my Noble Friend_ will do credit to the county, and that he will act in a manner consistent with the prin. ciples inherent its him, beg to propose bard Huwick WI a future Representative of this county in Parliament. (Applause, and cries of " Howick for ever.") Sl'. ()An, Esq. M.P., seconded the nomination of Lord Bowies, who immediately afterwards rose, and was warmly greeted. His Lordship spoke nearly to die following effect:—Mr. Sheriff and Gentlemen: In offering myself to your notice, alto* RC , in the first place. to make a few remarks on w h a t Mr. moment has said with regard to the uselessness of the pre. sent Meeting, as it was my friends who were the first to sign the Requisition presented to the Sheriff: Mn Beaumont has told you it is an attempt to induce the Freeholders to break the promieen, they have given. (Mr. Beaumont—" No.") Gentlemen, I say it is no such thing, and I would ask Mr. Beaumont how it can be an at. tempt to induce the Freeholder to break their promises, unless he thinks we could enter into statements that would instantly make every Fre6hulder withdraw his support from him. Ido not say whether Mr. Beaumont has any good reason to be afraid of what might be said against him, but I say you have just cause of suspi. clan in his reluctance to meet the Freeholders of Northumberland In the otien face of day. Mr. Beaumont says there is some deep and malicious end concealed under the Requisition for calling this Meeting ; but, I ask, what Call there be that is bad, when every thing is fair and above board—when I come openly and fairly be. fore you to state my pretensions ? (Cheers.) In such conduct I can see no means of concealing a deep and malicious end. A County Meeting, previous to a contested Election, has been the eastorn in the best times of the English Constitution—this prece. dent has been set on two former oceasions in Northumberland. It is, I suppose, because Mr. Beaumont thinks this an absurd and foolish Meeefing that he has thought fit to repeat before Me that charge which hit friends and adherents. in advertisements and elec. tioneering squibs, have not ceased to din in our ears . B ut , gentle . men, though lie has not made this charge before me, it has so often been repeated, that I must take this opportunity of answering It, and if I am guilty of any mistake Itr. B. has the power of correcting me. It has been said my coming forward is an attempt to turn out a particular person, against whom nu just mimic of blame can be urged. Gentlemen, as I have been nu often pressed on the subject, I will say that I do consider Mr. Beaumont an im. proper person to represent this county in Parliament, oral I ground this opinion not only upon his public conduct, but also upon his conduct in private life. Let us look at the history of 3lr. B.'s life. He enters Parliament as e. supporter of Ministers. (Here there was a tremendous uproar raised by the friends of Mr. Beaumont in front of the hustings.) When silence was restored, his Lordship Raid," If the Shenfi' will permit that conspicuous knot in that cur. nor to disturb the proceedings of the meeting, I hied better at once be silent." Qaiet having been restored, his Lordship said, " 1 will now resume. Let us look at the history of Mr. Bearrimat's public life. He eaters Parliament the President of a Pitt Club and a determined supporter of Ministers. in a short time he changes, and becomes , what he called himself, independent of all parties, but generally voting with the Opposition. Then he pro ceeds a step further, and writes a Jitter, which can ire Produced before you, to .me of the leading Whig,. saying that he was de termined s th a a t t e n t i o t w tti hi e ci tr i nn lie t m ta os re t : is disposed to give his confidence. (Shouts of " hear, hear.") In con. errit etivc i ai ne:l n t t o he u v ite ll ig hi e m a se re lf tl t t o at a Cta P r a 7ti; sequence of certain occurrences, to which I need not here more par- I tieulasly 'Bode. Mr. Reanniont, for two years and a half, or nearly three ytane„ totally absents himself from his psrliantcntary duties. Du r in g t h a t long time he left you a i'hout the services of one of your representative", and then he again conies into public life, and commences hit career by a violent attack on Mut party to which he had before given his confidence; lie attack.; all the gentlemen of Northumberland, and he calls them " a base aristocracy," whom he intends to trample befteetit his chariot wheels. Were was nettle a disturbance raised by the friend's of Mr. Beauniont. Aft e r it wounded, lent Howiek resumed.) Gentlemen, a person may change his politica opinions from motives of an honourable and conseientioas nature; but I moat ever took with auepicion upon the conduct of that trout where changes have beea pi sudden, an frectssent, and so violent. (une et o tg , mingled with diraporobation.) Kul, gentlemen, it as rot only on ace eient of hie pulls oonduct that I thick Mr. IleauThant sn unfit ' person to represent this county. 11e.
