All Electors desirous to secure his return may obtain every information as to the polling places, &c., on application to Messrs Williams, Vaux, Fennell, and Williams, solicitors, Bed. ford-row. The Election is fixed to take place on MONDAY, the 7th, and TUESDAY, the Bth of August next. The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 30 minutes past Three o'clock. Vic ntx+ LONDON, MONDAY EVENING. AUGUST 7, 1837. The election for North Wilts takes place this day. We confidently anticipate the result—Mr. METHUEN will be successful, and Sir FRANCIS BURDETT sig nally defeated. Not even the apostate's hired bludgeon-men, backed by the Carlton Club cash, will save him : for there is a spirit abroad throughout the district—a spirit of honour, unanimity, and determina tion, which will bear down all before it. The electors are fully aware of the extent to which the Hon. Ba ronet has carried his political delinquency ; that he has not merely ratted from Whig to Tory, but from ultra-Radicalism to ultra-Toryism ; and looking about for a cause for such hideous treachery, they will be apt, naturally enough, to suspect that it originates in the man's vexation at not haring been promoted to a Peerage by a Reform Ministry. At any rate, be the cause what it may, one thing is certain, despite his incessant protestation s to the contrary— namely, that Sir FRANCIS BURDET T has turned bis back for ever on the people —on that people who far' forty years clung to him through good report and through ev il report ; who never looked cool on him never wavered in their faith in his sincerity ; but uni formly took a generous pride in him ; and refused even at the eleventh hour, to credit aught to his dis paragement. On this generous, trusting people, the Hon. Baronet has unblushingly turned his back ; and not content with this, he now tramples on them and on their cause, with all the desperate energy of ELDON in the high Tory days of PITT and DuND A s. He has now allied himself with that crafty, intolerant faction which, professing to be the advocates of freedom, are Car .lists in Spain, Miguelites in Portugal, Orangemen in Ireland, and bigots and tyrants all the world over ; and proud of his new alliance, makes a point of sneering at all his old friends—HonllousE among the number --just as if they were the guilty, and he the innocent party ! If this be not the very ne plus ultra of ma lignant dotage, we know not what is. Consider it as such, Men of Wilts, and turn out BURDETT. Every moment now is of value ; to-morrow your decision must be made. Lose not one instant, then, in recording your opinion of the rankest apos tate that ever disgraced his age and country. Vote -for METHUEN, and you vote for Reform—for relie froth taxation—for enlightened Government—and for a ll the countless blessings to which such a Govern - 111 ent gives ris e . V o t e f or B URDETT , and you vote for anti-R e f orm i n i ts most i nto l erant s h ape —f or an 1 "eltsed weight o f t axat i on —f or t h e cont i nuance o f Chu reh abuses—for jobs and pensions, without end or I; ..init—for an i r r e sp ons ibl e H ouse o f L o rds—and the denial of all justice to Ireland. Between these two Ca ndidates—the one representing the principle of a l t , e ady, gradual Ref orm ; th e o th er th at o f i ncor ri g ible 4oryistn—can you hesitate an instant in your choice ? Impossible. O'CONNELL and EItiTToNT have been returned for the City of Dublin after a fiercer struggle than any recorded in the annals of elections. Every engine of every description—no matter how base or how unprin cipled—that the Orange faction, in their desperation, could bring into play, was used to overpower the Liberal party ; but all their efforts—unexampled as they were--have been rendered utterly—aye and finally -- abortive, by the unconquerable spirit and indefati ble perseverance of the friends of liberty and their country's honour. Such was the reckless unscrupu lousness—we might say agony—of the Orangemen tinder the apprehension of defeat, that when they saw their cause on the point of being lost, they ac tually brought to the poll a troop of slaves, under the pretence of their being freemen—some of wliz - im had been presented with the franchise by the immaculate corporation of Dublin since the issuing of the twit, and all of them within the last six months ,t hese wretched tools of a degraded party, far less Guilty than their wicked instigators, were prevented by the Assessor, though himself an Orangeman, from Perpetrating the villany which their employers in tended. They were not allowed to vote ; but *1 "It an idea does the very attempt by such in alis to swamp the Liberal constituency of Dublin, give of the baseness of the Orange faction I Would not of itself prove—were not Ireland covered from ~) e . one end to the o th er w ith p roo f s t o th e same e"tet--that this CUMBERLAND clique who have been l ong the bane of the country, which has at once the twaelne and the misfortune to have given them birth, . i. t !eped to the lips in profligacy and corruption ? , is ind ee d a triumph. The metropol i s o f Ireland has thus added h er m i g ht y vo i ce t o that of h er ,* ister r anitals of England and Scot an" In ► favour of fOr your of liberty And progressive Re - She ha s br o k en also added another Eilk to that un eh • ain o f .mportant fact, that evidence which demonstrates the all- Th e in the great constituen c i es , w h ere Peopl e can express their unbiassed sentiments through the elections, they have declared with one voice for the movement. This is what galls the Hanoverian faction beyond endurance. In spite of all their pretended chuckling at the partial successes which they have gained by bribery and the most ty rannical exercise of power ever heard of out of Russia ; it is clear they feel that after all this expence of prin ciple and loss of character, they have gained nothing, while this great fact stares them in the face wherever they turn their eyes. They did expect to have had one case to shake this general verdict of condemnation pro nounced against them. They looked with anxious expectation to the West Riding for some token of consolation on this point ; but, alas ! they have received none. Yorkshire has confirmed the uni versal sentence. Lord MGR PETII and Sir GEORGE STR ICKL AND have been returned, as our readers will see, by a large majority. The registered voters in the West Riding amount to 29,456. This is the most numerous of all the constituencies in the three king doms, and coming, as it does, to bear its testimony in behalf of Reform and against the Tories, towards the close of the scene, when all others of a similar cha racter are out of the field, must be anything but agreea ble to a party which has rested its whole hope of success, on a fancied re-action in the popular mind. By the packet ship England, which arrived at Li verpool on Friday, we have received New York Pa pers to the 17th ult., from which copious commercially interesting extracts will be found in another part of The Sun. It will be seen from them that the news of the failure of the American Houses here, conse quent upon the refusal of the Bank of England to sup port them any longar, which had reached New York, had been anticipated by the mercantile body of that dity, and,•therefore, the shock was so slight as to be hardly felt. What will strike our readers as most singular is the ,announcement that no immediate effort was intended to be made to relieve them from the commercial difficulties in which they are involved. On the contrary, the_ New York Daily Exp7ess states that the specie about to be remitted to them when the news of their failure. arrived would be kept at home for the sustenance of-public credit in the States. That the money market is ; not, however, generally under a severe pressure is, in our opinion, proved by the fol lowing extract from a letter from New York, dated the. 16th ult., published 1;y ft Morning Contemporary : The state of Ohio has just made a new loan of 500,000 dollars. The terms upon which this loan was obtained de monstrate, first; the advantage of the policy to which 1 have referred, and, second, the real state of the money-market, in a case where the confidence of capitalists was unimpaired. The money was procured at about 112+, or 112+ dollars in money for 100 dollars of 6 per cent. stock, r e d eema bl e i n 10 or 20 years. la m not 'certain as to the precise term of time ; but it is evident that this:is at a rate of interest net exceeding bi per cent. There is no politi47 news of any interost in these papers. In Upper and Lower Canada political feeling is very strongly expressed. Lord JOUN RUSSELL'S resolutions have set all parties and factions together by the ears. The whole of the Flails Papers of Friday and Satur day They contain no ne ws , h ave b een received. foreign or domestic, of much importance, with the ex ception of the followin;g telegraphic despatches from Spain : Bayonne, Aug. 3, four o'clock, p.m. " The letter announcing_ the arrival of the French ambas sador in good health at `S aragossa, on the 29th u l t ., states that a considerable Carlist corps, and it is added, Don Carlos himself, occupied Munies at the distance of ten leagues from Saragossa. The expeditionary divisions of Zariateguy and Guergue, and also of Rffesa and Gen. Escalera were taking the direction of Soria." " Bordeaux, Aug. 3, half past 6, p.m. " The appearance of some bands in the environs of Huesca had led to the conclusion that Don Carlos was taking the di. rection of Daroca, but, according to a notice published at Saragossa on the 30th, he was still at Cantavieja, Fotunate, and Miranbel on the 28th. Orea occupied Camerilas and Aliaga, while another division was observing the road leading to Beycete." " Narbonne, July 4, later. " The Pretender was on the the 26th at Villafranca, and his army cantoned at Iglezuela, Ares, and Castlefurt." The distance between - the Carlists and their pur suers is so inconsiderable, and the movements of the former have recently been so slow, that we are sur prised to learn that no general engagement has yet taken place. We are aware that Doti CARLOS Will avoid fighting as long as he can, but we had antici pated from the projected operations of ORAA, DE MEER, and ESPARTERO, the impossibility of the Pretender's escaping so long without testing the metal of his followers. What measures he will adopt if joined by the reinforcement under ZARIATEGUI is as yet a subject of conjecture among his partizans. Some contend that he will enter New Castile and fight his way to the capital ; but for our part we are of opi nion that he will re-cross. the Ebro, and try to escape back to the Basques. Without a strong reinforcement he could not judiciously stir, with a hostile intent, in any direction, and with one he would prefer a safe retreat back to his old lamas, to the chances his ever reaching Madrid. Don CARLos' reception by the Valencians has given him a surfeit of warfare on the Castilian side of the Ebro. In the meantime he can easily shelter himself among the mountains of Abba racinas and Cantavieja, till the reinforcements from Navarre are able to join him—viz., provided the QUEEN'S Generals do not bestir themselves more tha❑ they have done since the affair of the 15th ult., near the city of Valencia. The Duke and Duchess of ORLEANS are making a tour through Normandy. Their Highnesses must have an uncommon stock of patience not to be bored to death by the well-meant, but stupid attentions, paid them in the course of their journey. The instant their approach to any town or village is announced, out runs the municipality in an outlandish costume, with the Mayor at its head, and the beadle at its heels, bearing a long rigmarole address of loyalty, attachment, devotion, and so forth, to which their Highnesses are expected to listen with profound attention, and likewise to respond in terms equally pompous and unmeaning. The Duke, how ever, who appears to have a good deal of tact, con trives, under one pretence or another, to abridge the time of these ceremonies, and by courteously surpassing his admirers in professions of attachment, and by hav ing the place nearest his heart occupied by a desire to redress the grievances of every succeeding Municipality, he manages to put the people every where in good humour. The Duchess also contrives to leave only recollections of her wit, her sweetness of temper, and her solicitude for the happiness of the people behind her wherever she makes her appearance. The following are extracts from the Paris Papers : The departure of Baron de Fagel for London to convey the congratulations of his Majesty, the King of the Netherlands, to the young Queen of England, is said to have excited great uneasiness at the Tuileries. It is affirmed that the mission of this diplomatist, who is worthy of the entire confidence of the House of Nassau, is said to add to its ostensible object a pro ject for a union between Queen Victoria and one of the sons of the Prince of Orange.—Gazette de France, Aug. 5. Though the last telegraphic dispatch says that the expedi tion of Zariatagui is proceeding towards Soria, the Sentinelle des Pyrenees, of the Ist of August, says, that it returned to Navarre on the 25th, and again occupies the same position as before. After the affair of the . Ist, Uranza had ordered five batta lions of La Rioja to join,Quergue, who had five other batta lions, and then proceed to the Asturias, passing through the Encustaciones, to attract the attention of the Christinos to these points.

Letters and papers from Madrid to the 30th ult. have been received this morning. The committee n. pointed to inquire into the best means of putting an end to the civil %var presented its first report to the Cortes on the 28th. It states the QUEEN'S forces receiving pay amounted to one hundred and ninety-one thousand, six hundred and ninety-nine men ; wherCas it did not appear that Don CARLOS had quite sixty thousand armed supporters. The committee declared itself of opinion that the war was protracted through the mismanagement of the Executive, and recommended a more prompt and decisive course to the adoption of Ministers. All the important articles of the project of law for the reform of ecclesiastical institutions, secular and re gular, were adopted on the 27th, and the succeeding sitting of the Cortes. Great preparations are making throughout Spain for the new elections, under the provisions of the Constitution. The return of ISTURIZ, TORENO, and MARTINEZ DE LA It os A, for districts where public opinion is hostile to the policy of the present Cabinet, is already anticipated. The grand affair will be the election of the Senate, for seats in which as sembly many of the old grandees are already candidates. The accounts from the north of Spain received in Madrid are not more important than those communica ted from Bayonne direct to Paris and London. The Navarrese continue to desert in large numbers from the Carlist ranks. Advices from Lisbon of the 25th ult. assure us that the Government has succeeded in effectually crushing the military insurrection of the 14th, having 'or its object the restoration of Don PEDno's Char. ter. Despatches received from the Alemtejo, and published on the 24th, detail the success with which the Constitutionalists everywhere opposed the designs of the rebels, though headed by several popular No blemen and Officers of high rank in the Army. We have not learned what has become of the principal conspirators, or what course the Government will adopt with respect to those who may have fallen into its hands. The better plan would be to banish the more troublesome, and pardon their less guilty accom plices. To shed blood would serve no purpose dic tated by policy or humanity. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK: We have received Moatreal Papers to the 14th July, and Quebec to the 12th July. The Montreal Official Gazette contains a proclamation convoking the Provincial Legislature on Friday, the 18th of August, for the dispatch of business. Hobart Town Papers, received to the Bth of April, st a t e that the Council does not meet before May. It is said that one step which will be taken will be to relieve the colonists of two-thirds of the expenses of the police—the estimated reve nue having fallen so short that the Government finds it impos sible to meet the expenditure.

Consols for the Account, 914 A rumour has been in circulation that Mr. Tennyson D'Eynecourt would be shortly raised to the Peerage. We know not if there be any foundation for this report ; but should this event take place, and a vacancy ha consequence occur in the representation of Lambeth, we have reason to believe that Mr. Fox Maule, who has been thrown out for Perthshire, will be brought forward as a candidate for that borough. Considering his political information, distinguished talents, eloquence, and the liberal opinions which he entertains, being the advocate of the ballot and triennial Parliaments, there could not be a doubt of his success. Of this we feat assured, that a better selection could not be made —any liberal constituency might be proud of such a representative.— Morning Advertiser. GAS BATHS AT MA RIENBAD.—The most extra ordinary featUre of Marienbad, as a bathing Spa, is the gas baths. Such is the profusion with which carbonic gas issues every where from the earth here, that after heavy rains, when the ground is yet covered with a film of water, bubbles of gas are seen in all directions, both in and about the town. This gas is riot wholly pure carbonic acid, but is often mixed with sulphu:.e:ted hydrogen. I visited the gas-baths with my kind conductor, Dr. Ileidler, in the same building in which a Rus sian vapour-bath and mud-bath have been established. The first hint for the erection of gas.baths, in Marienbad, was given by Professor Struve of Dresden, owing to an experiment which he made on himself.—Dr. Granville's Spas of Germany. A man in decent circumstances in life, residing at Stockport, named Robinson, drank himself to death On Tues day last. On Monday he got intoxicated, from the effec t s of which he did not fully recover on Tuesday morning, when he commenced drinking a quart of, rum, and after taking more than one-half fell dead on the floor._Stockport Advertiser. At the celebration of the July fetes at Rheims, a balloon was inflated, and, notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, took its departure in gallant style ; but, alas! scarcely had it risen thirty feet from the earth, than the cords by which the car was attached gave way, and the machine, with the aeronaut, fell among the spectators, who were very numerous. Fortunately, none of them were hurt. As to the unfortunate aspirant to the skies, many of his limbs were dislocated, and his head severely fractured ; but we arc happy to say that no amputation has been necessary, and that by the judicious application of a few bandages, and of a due quantity of bran, or even sawdust, to his head, he will be perfectly re stored.

A " FISHY" COINCIDENCE.—About the middle of Fenchurch-street the following names appear over the shop doors of three tradesmen, who live next door to each other— " Roach," " Salmon," " Herring." Since St. Swithiu's, or St. Martin's day, Saturday, the 15th July, we have had more or less rain daily, sometimes accompanied with thunder and lightning; so that the watery Saint has this season kept his character. The rain has come very seasonably for turnips and potatoes, which were much in want of it, and has greatly refreshed and benefitted the grain crops. Every species of produce—." herb, tree, fruit, and flower"—is looking admirably ; and a continuance of favour. able weather is only wanting to render the harvest one of the most abundant ever known.—Dundee Advertiser. Thursday afternoon was buried in the church of Bt. Margaret's, Pentonville, Mrs. Margaret Lawson, aged 112 years, better known in -the neighbourhood by the namo of Lady Lawson, from her very eccentric manner of dress. Mrs. Margaret Lawson was born in the year 1725, during the commencement- of the reign of George 11. in Cecil street, in the Strand, of most respectab!e parents, named Anon, and was married at an early age to a wealthy gentle man named Lawson, then residing in the house which she occupied. At the early age of 26 she became a widow, having only one daughter living at the time. Mrs. Lawson being left by her husband in affluent circumstances, preferred to continue si ng l e , an d notw i t h stand i ng she iat] many suitors, remained so. When her daughter married, being left atone, she became fond of retirement, and seldom went out or admitted the visits of any person. For the last 40 years she had kept no servants, except one old female, who died ten years ago, she was succeeded by her grand-daughter, who married a few years since, and she was succeeded in her turn by an old man who attended at the different houses of the square in which she lived, to go of errands, clean shoes, o on t a cf n , odk steward.si intoa 1 i dheomestic cook, on m od i k d ,h o e):en odeffin t es s ei .artveadTn servant This r e m a a l i n n w o t i\ h , ker an s. d with the exception of two old lap dogs and a cat, was her only cmiparlion. The house she occupied, No. 8, Eceleston square, was large and elegantly furnished, but very ancient. The beds were constantly kept made, a!though they had not been slept in for about 50 years. Her apartments being only swept out, but never washed, the windows were so incrusted with dirt that they hardly admitted a ray of light. She was so parti a l to the fashions that prevailed in her youthful days that she never altered the manner of her dress from that worn is the r e i gn large toupee of George I. Sh e a l ways wore powder w i th a , made of h orse h a i r on h er h ea d , near l y h a lf a foot hi g under h, over whi c h h er h a i r was turned up, and a cap t i ed the chin, but suflicientiy loose to allow three or four stray curls to hang over her neck. She was generally attired in a silk gown, the train long, with a very deep flounce, a long • waist, tightly laced up to her neck, round which was a ruff or frill. A large straw bonnet quite flat, high-heeled shoes, , a large black silk cloak, trimmed round with lace, and a eolden-headed cane, completed her everyday costume for the ' last 90 years. and procured for her the Appellation of Lady Lawson. Her manner of living was so methodical that she would not drink her tea out of any other than a favourite cup, and she was equally particular as to her knives, forks, plates, &c. At breakfast she arranged in a particular manner the paraphernalia of the table; at dinner she always observed a general rule, and would never sit in any other than her favourite chair. She had enjoyed an excellent state of health, and never had, until a little previous to her death, an hour's ill ness, She entertained the greatest aversion to medicine ; and what is remarkable, she cut two new teeth at the age of 85, and never lost one in her life. She lived in five reigrlf., and was supposed to be the mo;t faithful h tyrian ef the time, the events of the year 173 q gein fetish in her recollec tion. A few data previous to tier death an old lady, who. was bee that sh e f r e quent l y eecleimed her twit v 7.44 4tiM eckme , tedtlenly died, which h a d suc h an, effect and that she should soon follow.

There was a good arrival of Wheat last week, and mode -1 rate of other Grain ;of Flour tha quantity was fair. In con sequence of the showery weather, Wheat obtained more money in the course of the week, but other grain experienced no al teration. This morning the fresh supplies of all sorts of Corn are middling, and the weather being favourable, the buyers in general purchased slowly. Wheat has supported an advance of full Is. per qr. on last Monday's terms, and there is little left unsold. Barley firmly maintains its last quotations. Beans are not much in demand, and prices are unvaried. Boil ing Peas are unaltered. Some new White Pease appeared, but they remain unsold. Grey Peas continue as last reported. The Oat trade is slack, but the rates cf this day se'nnight have been maintained. In Flour there is no change in value, but ship parcels find an improved sale.

When the reader calls to mind that the debates in the House are sometimes kept up till two or three o'clock in the morning; that the reporters, relieved every twenty minutes, have to carry all their communications to the office ; that all this matter has to be arranged, put in type, and then worked off, and that, notwithstanding this, the double sheet of matter is on thousands and thousands of tables by nine o'clock the next morning, it is really wonderful how it can be accomplished. Saturday night appears to be the only night on which those connected with these immense undertak ings can be said to have any repose from year's end to year's end. What a life of toil I what an unnatural life must theirs be, who thus cater during the hours of darkness for the infor mation of those who have slept soundly through the night, and rise. to be instructed by the labour of their vigils!

The result of that trial was, that I recovered my health—conquered my habitual difficulty of digestion —aban doned all pills—have never taken any since—and find it neces sary only to drink about two ounces of the Puilna water to keep all straight. But as the real Pullna is not to be had easily in England, and is not very good when one gets it, I had re course to the artificial one prepared at Brighton.—Dr. Gran* villa's Spas of Germany. On Saturday morning, between nine and ten o'clock, the following serious accident occurred in the Hamp_ stead fields, which had nearly proved of fatal consequences. It appears that a gentleman of the name of Elphinstone, accom panied by his son, were proceeding from their residence at H impstead to London, across the fields, when they arrived near Primrose Hill, walking along the footpath by the side of a hedge, some boys, who were on the other side, unobserved by Mr. Elphinstone or his son (a youn g gentlem an s i xteen years of age) fired at some s p arrows in th e hedge, the princi pal part of the contents of the fowling-piece entered the thick part of Mr. Elphiestonets thigh, and some shots entered the son's shoulder ; Mr. Elphinstone screamed out, from agony ; his son bound the wound up with a handkerchief, and procured assistance to remove his father home. The boys escaped on hearing Mr. Elphinstone call out. POETRY OF EARLY RISING. .—eery hour, you will find a set o f am ;',cur d a y, a t th e 7.:teur surveyors of the work punctually at their posts on th. 2, opposite side of the way, ob serving how matters go c a and feeling a growing interest in the growth of some old company's new hall—a pile of new buildings for co*.nmercial purpsses—or a new street. These squere-toed old fellows arc the early risers of the neighbour hou6, and have an hour to spare before breakfast in picking up an appetite for it. and nothing seems to whet it so much as this morning visit to the works in progress. When that fails, and the work is done, the parish pump is pretty sure to want painting, or the churchyard rails: or a tomb is rising in the yard to the memory of a late great man in the ward ; or the vase of the church is undergoing a regilding, or is being made to answer to the wind when spoken to, which your city vanes do not always do ; or a new spout of modern zinc, not lead, is being set up against the north end of the church ; or the two St0:10 cherubs at the east end are having their dear little snubs noses repaired—one of them having been broken by the pr."- fane pelting's of the ward boys, and the other by the curious fingers of old Time, who could leave it alone till he snap ped i t short off. These repairs the ear l y r i sers superintend till the work is done.—New Monthly Magazine for August,
