REPRESENTATION OF EAST SURREY. Last evening a most numerous and respectable meet, of the electors of East Surrey took place at the Bridge house Hotel, London-br:dge ; Mr. Hardy in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, after having explained the objects of the meeting, had the pleasure of informing the electors of East Surrey that two Liberal c andidates would present themselves to solicit their suffrages.—( Loud cheers.) One of their can didates, as they were all a ware, was the Honourable Locke Kng. (Mr Hume, M.P., and Mr. Warburton, M. P., here metered tl.e :ooir., and were received with loud and continued applause.) The Chairman prceteded to remark, that the ap pearance of those two gentlemen may he considered as a good omen at their side.—(Cheer?.)

After some hesitation, the Chairman, in com pliance with the desire of the meeting, announced to them that Mr. Angerstein, the representative of Greenwich, would seek the honour of being their representative. (This an. nouncement was received with loud cheers by the meeting.) JOHN PALMER, Esq., proposed the first resolution. Mr. Hume then presented himself, and when the applatiee subsided, said he had great pleasure in coming forward in sup phpt of their on. Candidate, and te cause was the estem ,lch he ente H rtained for his distinhguiehed father, arid ` the friendship which they had reciprocally felt.—( Cheers.) He knew no better Reformer than that Nobleman was, and he recollected well the time when they in their advocacy of Re ferm, that Nobleman in the House of Lords, and he in the Houle of Commons, had been each of the:n singular in their principles.—( Cheers.) He would feel happy, then to exert himself in promoting the election of that Nobleman's son.— ( Cheers.) ( Mr. Leader here entered amid loud applause.) He was glad that Mr. Leader had been so well received by them, for he could assure the meet in g that gentleman too would prove a good one.—(Laughter, and cries of "we hope you will sit beside him.") He hoped so, too.—( Laughter. ) He need not remind them of the extravagant and profligate expenditure which the Tories had occasioned the country. In all the efforts made to defeat corruption hitherto, they had to contend against a hostile court. That evil exists no longer. No: Tories surround the throne of our young Queen. — (Cheers.) Not a Tory, male or female.—( Cheers and laugh ter.) They ought therefore, to avail themselues of the pre sent happy prospect. The Hon. Member concluded a power ful speech by expressing his hope that at the election after the ensuing one the honest voter would possess the protection of the ballot. Mr. LEADER hoped that the electors of East Surrey would obtain the triumph of electing two Reformers. One of their candidates (Mr. Locke King) would, as he was sure they all believed, do his duty. He would take the liberty of telling them an anecdote of the other gentleman who he understood bad been announced as their candidate, Mr Angerstein. That gentleman had at an early age been sent into Parliament 10 the old boroughmongering times, as a Representative of a borough, by his father. Now, it so happened, that the -son differed a little from his father in politics. The son was a little too !iberal for the old gentleman.—( Laughter.) The consequence eras, that as Mr. Angerstein would not change his tone of politics, his father would not sehd him any more to Parliament, and for twenty years he remained out of the House of Commons, on account of his opposition in political principles to his own father':—(Long-continued cheering.) The Hon. LOCKE KING, Ivho was most enthusiastically re ceived, would proceed to explain to them a few of his politi cal opinions—first, as to the Ballot. He regretted that a ne cessity for that measure existed, he was sorry that the Tories and the Aristocracy would not allow the people the liberty of voting without intimidation ; but notwithstanding his sorrow for that, he felt that freedom of election could not be enjoyed without it.—(Cheers.) As for the extension of the suffrage he thought it ought to be effected according to the advance of education. No man dreaded-or disliked Toryism more than him.--( Hear.) He dreaded it as it were by instinct.—( A laugh.) Between them—between the Tories and the Re formers of the country, the contest now lay. For his part, the motto he would bear with him in this great struggle would be the words of his ancestor Locke, and they were expressive of the dearest aspiration of his heart—" absolute liberty, equal and true liberty, just and impartial liberty."—( Loud cheers.) The resolution, expressive of the determination of the electors of East Surrey, to support Mr. Locke King and another Li beral candidate at the ensuing election was carried unanimously. Mr. JAMES HOLLAND briefly, but ably, addressed the electors. Mr. WARBURTON, amid loud applause, addressed the meet ing. He would take the liberty of warning the electors not to return a Tory as their Representative together with a lie ' former ; let them return two Reformers, and not make a single-handed election.—( Hear, hear.) If they may not sup pose one of their Liberal candidates to be as good as they de sire, they ought nevertheless remember the old maxim, " of two evils choose the least." None of them, he hoped, would deny that Mr. Angerstein would be a better Representative than Captain Alsager.—( Cheers. ) Mr. Hewes, M P., begged of them to recollect that the next Parliament would most probably l a s t for seven years, and they should therefore be cautious of electing any man whom they did not think likely to be a faithful Representative of their wishes and feelings. Mr. NUNN then put some questions to the candidate pre sent, Mr. Locke King. as to the manner in which he would vote on the questions of Church-rates, the Ballot, the Corn Laws, and whether he would consider the Reform Bill a fi n al m easure, and also what he thought of a reform of the House of Lords ? Mr. LOCKE KING said, that as to the Church-rtes, he would vote for the Bili proposed by his Majesty's Ministers fur their abolition.--( Cheers.) The Ballot he was favourable to—(Cheers) —and by no means considered the Reform Bill as a final measure.—(Loud cheers.) On the Corn-law question he thought that the tax on the importation of corn could not, safely, be suddenly taken off, without ruin to thousands of the agricultural portion of the community. His opinions on the Reform of the House of Lords were these : he thought that the system of voting by proxy ought to be abolished, and that the Bishops should cease to have a vote in that House. He thought the only use which they were to the Church in that House was to defend its abuses.—( Cheers. ) The thanks of the meeting having been then voted to the Chairman, the assembly separated. REPRESENTATION OF THE CITY OF LONDON. Last night a numerous meeting of the electors of' the City of Lo n don, connected with the Ancient and Honourable Lumber Troop, took place in the Troop-house, at the Dr. Johnson's Head Tavern, Bolt-court, Fleet-street, for the pur pose of receiving the present Members of the City. Amongst the gentlemen present we noticed Mr. Alderman Wood, M. P. ; Mr. Grote, M. P. ; Mr. Crawford, M. P. ; Mr. Pat tison, M. P. ; Mr. A. Travers, Mr. Taylor, Mr. Heppe], Mr. Charles, Mr. Pritchard, &c. &c. Colonel CONST barit e , taken the Chair, introduced to the notice of the m eet i ng t h e respective candidates fur the City then present. Mr. Alderman WOOD then rose amidst loud cheers. He said that it was now many years since he had been enrolled a member of their body. Since then be had commanded a re giment called " the bloody eight"--( Laughter)—for it had succeeded in killing one of its own m en .—( I ncrease d laugh ter.) He believed that the return of four Reformers for the City of London would give a tone to the other elections throughout the country. He trusted that in a new Parlia ment the Queen's Government would look to the people—that they would consider it was to the people th e y owe d t h eir power, and that it was only by upholding popular measures they could expect to possess the continued confidence of the great mass of the public.---( Applause.) It was expected that the dissolution of Parliament would take place on Tuesday next, and the electors would, therefore, be called upon very soon to exercise their elective franchise. Mr. GROTE next rose to address the meeting, and was re ceived with loud applause. Of the conduct which he intended to pursue, should they again honour him, by returning him to Parliament, he need hardly say a word, for they had his poli tical conduct for the last five years before them.—(llear.) From the first day that he had entered Parliament up to the present, his object had been to sustain the progression and ad vancement of Reform. He held that there should he no dif ference between the rich and the poor in voting, and that the voice of the one ought to he as well weighed in the mass of the constituency as that of the other.—( Hear.) He knew well that there were many who doubted the efficiency of this mode of voting ; but he had the satisfaction also of knowing that the question of the Ballot had made astonishing progress within the last five years.—( fLar, hear.) He regretted to find by the newspapers of that morning , that the House of Lords had thr o wn out the Parliamentary Elections Bill, - which, although it would not have made much difference on the subject, would at least have made some, as it would have extended the time at which those rates should be paid from July to October. He regretted, he said, to find that even such a propositio n had been ;ejected by that House where so many other good measures had been lost.—(Cheers and hisses.) There were other matters connected with constitu tional reform which he had supported in Parliament. He al luded to the question as to whether Members of Parliament slusuld have a property qualification. (Hear.) . He e n a e s ce l z e t l y con tender: that there was no such quas - tfeation, for an elector proof m of igh —t t h he of elect any a bad rich mart as a bad poor man.—( Hear, hear.) y to ile also supported the Et.7lish .Municipal Reform Bill,' and the Bl for the abolition of CSureli-rates—a measure that was founded in justice and fairness. There were other points of Ministerial policy which he felt it to be his duty to support. He alluded especially to those measutes which they had brought forward in respect to Ireland.—( Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") H e always supported the Ministry with pleasure, and when he differed with them he did so with regret. He thought that if the Ministers adopted a bolder line of policy they would act with greater propriety, for by adopting a timid course they mad their enemies bolder in their hostility.—( Hear.) Mr. CRAWFORD, who was also received with cheers, said, if he were again elected, again be would endeavour to do his duty by his c.'.'.untry and his constituents. Mr. PATTISON next addressed the assembly amidst applause, wsn.o nA t all ded to the questions which he had supported in Par r":";7s.-r.lim .. and said he trusted that his conduct would ensure him tt e r., - , au (Applause.) e l'-' .. `-& - 21-- -- 1 1 1 1 01( rt er . ,of Fleet-street, wished to know if Mr. Craw ":;:iFj7o,74l,:jkikwB-010apport Household Suffrage, short Parliaments, th e f ~, , , .5;.'7.1 I., : trip e X: 'if ,t e pension list ; and he further wished to know . ~ c:se : : - Vs'i - ig -1 6e0ndioti ,s generally would vote against the obnoxious 4 ..,, -::-71-- Atitie in tie Poor-law Amendment Act.

SAMUEL PALMER, Esq. in the Chair. The subject of a coalition in the Committee with that of Mr. Hawes was taken into consideration, and although there was an unanimous desire on the part of Mr. D'Eyneourt's friends to use every exertion to promote the success of Mr. Hawes, the scheme of a coalition being considered to be im practicable, was abandoned. Although this union of action between the friends of the two Liberal candidates cannot be effected, there can be no doubt that the friends of Mr. Hawes will respond to the friendly disposition evinced by the supporters of Mr. D'Eyncourt in favour of Mr. Hawes, and that no injury win result to the Liberal interest from this ne cessary division of labour on the part of the Liberal consti tuency of Lambeth. The necessary arrangements for can vassing the borough were then entera upon, and considerable progress made in the necessary detailsfor effecting that object. contest. The same local organ of the Tories has also the following not over-veracious observations, amongst others, relating to the elections :—" With the utmost congeniality of opinion, we refer to the highly appropriate appeals to their constituents from Lord Henniker and Sir Charles Broke Vere, the pre sent, and it may be confidently anticipated, the future Mem bers of Parliament for the Eastern Division of Suffolk. " The canvass for Mr. Baring the Member for Yarmouth, and Mr. Gambier, the other Conservative candidate for the Borough, which commenced on Wednesday last for those two g entlemen has been attended with unequalled success. " Accounts from all parts of the Western Division of Norfolk agree as to the proud position attained on the canvass by Messrs. Bagge and Chute." BATH.—We do not dissent from the opinion that canvassing is an irrational practice, and that the electors ought to be left to their own unbiassed conclusions ; but we must be per mitted to doubt the consequence which the Bath Herald, Captain &obell's untired advocate, has pinned to the contin gency, viz. that the aforesaid Captain would be promoted to a seat in St. atephens,*as one of the representatives of Bath. He deserves no distinction, nor do we think he will obtain it. SOUTH NOTTINGIIAMSIIIRE. Lord Lincoln, through the powerful influence of his father, and of the other noble land ownars of the county, reigns paramount here, and his election is without doubt, Take away the tenant voters, and let the election depend upon freeholders and copyholders, the case would then be materially altered. The independent voters, are bewever increasing, and we do not despair, by attention to the registry, of even South Nottinghamshire being rescued from its present dege44e4 state of thraldom.

The Learned Gentleman, we beg to tell him, need not lay the flattering unction to his soul, vainly supposing that his eloquent talk about Mother Church, the C. Priltitution, and other catch words, which the Conservatives employ Its stalking-horses, will be sufficient to drive out Mr. Walker from the borough which he has so faithfully represented. BARNSTAPLE.—Mr. Chichester has a rival in the person of the well-known Mr. Gompertz. A contemporary says, Barnstaple Tories who may wish - to give Mr. Gompertz a vote, will find that gentleman at No. 6, Portland-place, Borough road, near (and within the rules of) the King's Bench prison, where he is always to be found at home." NEWARK.—As far as we at present know, there is no pro bability of a contest in this borough : no one having been an nounced in opposition to the present Members. ReTeoere—We are happy to state, that a Liberal candi date is likely to come into the field, although we are not yet able to announce his name. BoLroN.—There is no talk of the Conservatives bringing forward a second candidate at present. No other canvassers are in the field except Mr. Bolling's friends ; but a few days must put them all in active motion. The Reformers are san guine in their hopes of success. CRICKLADE.—Captain Howard has nearly completed a most gratifying canvass, and the other candidates, aware of this, re sort to every stratagem to contradict it and amend their own sinking cause. The honest, liberal, frank Captain Howard has won a host of friends, and they will not desert him.— IVilts Independent. EAST SUFFOLK.—A meeting was held yesterday, at the Suffolk Hotel, Ipswich, which was attended by several of tho leading gentlemen in the neighbourhood, who profess Reform principles. Mr. Adair and Mr. Garden. were also present, and had it not been for that thick-headed political marplot, John Moseley, Esq., of Glenham-house, thoSe gentlemen would at this moment have stood in the position of candidates to represent the Eastern Division of the County of Suffolk in the ensuing Parliament. Mr. Adair's exposition, we under stand, gave universal satisfaction ; but Mr. Garden having de clared that he was favourable to an extension of the cuff, age, Mr. Moseley, without going any further, declared that he should not have his support, for he considered that the Reform Bill had already made the franchise too extensive.—SuffoTh Chronicle of this day. Wason re-visited the town on Mcnday, and intends to remain until the election is decided. Mr. Kelly and Mr. Gibson still remain hero, canvassing, el cetera. They have not ventured on a public meeting ; but have several times addressed the electors in their " ine2rest" at public houses and beer shops. At night, the slumbers of the peace able inhabitants have been disturbed, by the uproarious re joicings of their followers, who walk in procession with a band of music, which accompany them from their places of carousals, playing " Hurrah for the Bonnets of Blue," and greeting their friends with loud and long continued cheering, and their opponents with groans and imitations of the crowing of cocks. In thin latter respect, the County Press has been especially favoured, w hilst the Blue Bank, the senior partner in which, a short time since, declared he would "fight up to hi: ears in blood, in support of the Established Church" has been honoured with vehement demonstrations of an oppo site character. It is gratifying to add. that the Reformers have not been tempted to commit similar breaches of the peace ; but have conducted them-elves like rational beings, and as orderly and well-disposed members of the community. A meeting of the Committee and friends of Mr. Hawes was held on Thursday evening at the Hercules Tavern, near the Asylum. Mr. Redhead was called to the chair. Mr. CANNON rose to move the first resolution. lie said that it wa. unnecessary for him to say anything on behalf of Mr. Hawes. lie was satisfied with his attention to his public duties. The resolution was then seconded, and unanimously carried. Mr. OLIVER moved the second resolution, to the effect that it was the duty of this meeting, in consequence of a Tory can. didate being in the field, to use every exertion to secure the return of their present representatives. He said that Mr. Hawes had proved himself a thorough Reformer. Mr. COWARD seconded the resolution. Several other gentlemen then addressed the meeting in sup port of the resolution, expressing their determination to sup. port the cause of Mr. Hawes, and hoping that no disunion would take place among Reformers. The resolution was then carried unanimously, amidst enthu siastic applause. Mr. HAWEs then rose to address the meeting. As they had hitherto found him, so would they continue to find him. He hoped to have earned their approbation by acts, and not by words. With respect to short Parliaments, he should advo cate triennial ones, provided the expenses of elections were diminished to the candidates, as it was advantageous that men in Parliament should frequently come in contact with their constituents. He should never rest satisfied until no dis tinction existed between the Churchman and the Dissenter' He felt assured that every exertion would be made by his honourable oppinent, Mr. Baldwin, to secure his return ; but he was ready to fight the battle to the last minute, and he confidently trusted to the cordial and zealous aid of the electors. Another meeting was then announced by the CHAIRMAN, the object of which was to be the formation of District Com mittees for the purpose of ensuring an effective canvass.

It is likely, we are told, to lighten the labours of the new candidates by the force of its electioneering bits.

THE SPANISH WAR.—If it be true that there are no narratives so stirring in their interest as those which relate to " hair-breadth 'stapes th' imminent deadly breach"— and especially of still living and distinguished individuals whom we see and hear of in our daily life—then must the au tobiorrraphy of Colonel Shaw, which is just published, be re garded as a work of eminent attraction. But it has other points of peculiar interest and value, the chief of which is the simple and straight-forward truth of those parts which relate to the im portant actions and engagements of the British Legion in Spain, in which the writer acted so conspicuous and brilliant a part. The marked differences of opinion on important mili tary points, which existed between Colonel Shaw and the leader of the Legion, and which can be only come at through the medium of these pages, give an additional and peculiar interest to the work at the present moment. ........_ __ a en c g o a u g n e t I hd of Thorpe, — MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE.-.On.

WEST SUFFOLK.—So nobly have the electors of the Western Division of the county responded to the call of Bunbury and Wilson, that there is no doubt whatever both will be returned. The drift of the Herald in attacking, Sir Henry Bunbury is ap parent to the meanest capacity. The man who is appointed to pull down Colonel Rushbrook from a seat iii the representa tion of the county must not be suffered to pass unassailed. The championship of the Herald is, however, but Quixotic. The days of the Gallant Colonel, as respects his possession of a seat for the Western Division of Suffolk, are closely num bered ; his lease being out, he sits no more as its representa tive. He has " counted out the House" for the last time.

Richard Potter and Standish, and to relieve Mr. Kearslcy from any future tempta tion to expose himself, by exhibiting his Bacchanalian propen sities to the House of Commons.—Blanchester Guardian. LANCASHIRE. SOUTH.—Wherever the Liberal candidates have presented themselves they have been favourably, in most cases even enthusiastically, received.—lbid. EAST SURREY.—The Kingston district, so favourable at the last general election to Captain Alsager, has been partly canvassed by the friends of the Hon. Locke King, and the feeling displayed in his favour being almost unanimous, the Kingston Committee have resolved to invite another candidate to come forward, being confident that the pretensions of the ultra-Tory Captain would then vanish, and the:would-be M. P., Mr. Kemble, follow the same prudent course of Sir E. Sug den, who, not having had confidence, preferred an honourable retreat. Major Beauclerk's retirement is a subject of regret by a large majority of the voters, SIIRENTSBUtiV.—We announced last week that the approba tion of Mr. Slaney's political and private conduct had induced some gentlemen to request another candidate of similar prin ciples to stand forth in favour of the misrepresented inhabit ants of Shrewsbury. On Monday last Mr. Francis Dashwood was announced, and it appears by his addresses that his opinions are those which coincide with the declared opinions of the Grey and Melbourne Adminissrations.—Shrewsbury Chron. COVENTRT.—Mr. Ellice last Thursday addressed the elec tors. He offered himself once more as a candidate for their suffrages. He had explained all which had been required of him ; his principles were well known to them, and with this he remained at their service. He had served his constituents and his country faithfully, and it now remained with the elec tors whether they would confide to hint the same trust again. Mr. Ellice retired amidst long-continued cheering, which was followed by nine huzzas for the Queen and throe groans for the Tories. Mr. Williams has been actively engaged on his canvass, and we understand that the promises of support are very numerous, and highly satisfactory to that gentleman and his friends. We noticed last week that Mr. Bell ( Editor of a London paper) had transmitted an address " to the Radicals of Coventry," offering himself as a candidate, and that the Radicals had suppressed its eirculetion, and written to Mr. Bell that they could not, under existing circumstances, support him. To the great surprise, however, as we believe, of all parties, Mr. Bell made his appearance in Coventry about six o'clock iw Friday evening, and, from strong f ie romthe suspicions fact were ex quar tersuphiscited Ie had cometti*enPf.l'2; a (teal fe7 the furtherance of their de l\ that Sins. About nine o'clock the same CYPI44, a de?utation from Mr. Williams's Committee proceeded to the City Hotel, to which place, at their own request, Mr. Bell adjourned from the King's Head, for the purpose of giving them an interview. To the inquiries of this deputation as to the reasons which had induced him to appear in Coventry, after the unequivocal in timation which he had received of the inexpediency of such a step, Mr. Bell stated that he had come under the direction of an Association in London called " The National Association for the Protection of the unrepresented part of the Popula tion." This Society had determined to send out sixty or se venty individuals as candidates at the ensuing election in some of the manufacturing districts.—Coventry Herald. NORTH WILTS.—PauI Methuen, Esq., has signified his in of retiring from the representation, in consequence of the dangerous, and we fear fatal, illness of his eldest son.— Wilts Independent. 31ALMESBURT. —lt is hardly known whether there sill be a contest here. Mr. Salter is not quite so sanguine as he was. We believe that Lord Andover will again be the sitting Member. NORTHUMBERLAND, SOUTII.—C. Blackett, Esq., who was a candidate for Newcastle at the last election, has come for ward to supply the place of Mr. Beaumont : a better exchange could not have been made. He will snpport her Majesty's present Ministers. TRURO.-A second Reform candidate is in the field. There is plenty of Liberal strength in the constituency of Truro to return both Members. Mr. Ennis Vivian's canvass, we are told, has not been very encouraging, so that we hope to see Mr. Turner triumphantly returned with our tried and and esteemed Member, Mr. Tooke IVest Briton. GDILDFORD.-Three candidates for this borough are in the field, viz., Mr. C. Baring Wall and Mr. Mangles (the pre sent Members), and Major J. Yorke Scarlett, second son of Lord Abinger. The latt'er gentleman comes forward at the invitation of the Conservative party. Hy - rim—An independent elector of the borough informs us that the Tory candidate, Beresford, after a very unsuccessful canvass, has returned (from whence be came) to the Guards, promising his Tory friends to retrun to Hythe whenever they can reduce the very great majority of the Liberals, so as to give him a shadow of success.—Kent Herald. LuDLow.—Colonel Salwey is considered safe. Lord Clive's canvass has not been what he could wish (far which he may thank some of his agents), and a severe struggle is expected between him and Mr. Alcock. Mr. Charlton will have the pleasure of being returned to Ludford House, where he will have time to consider his past conduct as an M. P., and the action against him for S. BRIDGNORTH.—AII the efforts of the Tories will be ex hausted in saving one of their Candidates, should the un flinching men of the town be permitted to exert themselves untramelled in behalf of the Queen's Candidate and liberal opinions, Mr. Tracey. KIDDERMINSTER.—An opponent in the Liberal interest, in the person of Mr. Bagshaw, M.P. for Sudbury, has appeared against Mr. Godson. The majority is much in favour of Mr. Bagshaw, the Liberal candidate. LEOMINSTER.—There are now three candidates in the field for the representation of Leominster—Lord Hotham, the old Member, Mr. Wigram, a barrister, and Mr. Greenaway. Mr. Bish has resigned, and in his address complains of bring de serted for a new and untried Reformer. THE PorrzatEs.—Alderman Copeland, M.P., on Tuesday addressed the electors in the several districts of the borough. Mr. Davenport, one of the present Members, has announced his intention to continue his services. It is understood that the Hon. Gentleman coalesces with Alderman Copeland in offering on the Tory interest. The friends of the Liberal candidates do not relax in their exertions. BEWHLEY.—Sir F. H. Goodrick, a Conservative, who for sook Staffordshire to try his fate at Bewdley, in opposition to Mr. Winnington, a Whig, has found it necessary to retire from the contest. WALES.-In North Wales we are assured that a Reform candidate will be proposed in Carnarvonahire, against Mr. Ralph Gore, who has been dexterously slipped into the shoes of Mr. Ashton Smith, who now retires for the special purpose of the Tory party. In Flintshire a desperate effort is made by the Tories against the Hon. Mr. Mostyn. The voters in Denbighshire are solicited on behalf of Mr. Biddulph, of Chirk Castle, against poor Mr. Begot. In the Montgomery shire boroughs, and in the county, we have not heard of any opposition to the present Members, the Right Hon. C. W. Wynn and Colonel Edwards. In Merionethshire we have not heard of any opposition to the Tory, Mr. Richards ; but a storm must break over him. In South Wales we have no in formation of alterations, except such as arc announced in ano ther column.—Shrewsbury Chronicle. BANFFSHIRE (SCOTLAND). —It has been asserted over and over again in the Scotch papers (and we copied a paragraph to that effect from one of them yesterday) that no Liberal candidate would come forward to contest this county. We can, however, now state on authority, that the Hon. Mr. Duff, the nephew of Lord Fife, is a candidate for the suffrages of the electors. FLINT Bt hGHS.-It is said by the Tory papers that Mr. R. J. Mostyn, of Calcot, is the Conservative candidate. What has become of the epistolary Member, Sir S. R. Glynne ? PORTARLINGTON ELECTION. Our contemporary the Morning Post has already had enough, we suspect, of the cock-and-bull story of Lord Port- Arlington selling his borough for 5,0001. and the promise of a Marquisate. The Earl of Shrewsbury, the Roman Catholic Earl alluded to in the article in The Post, gave the following contradiction, which appeared in that paper of Thursday last :- 66 TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING POST. " Sir,—My attention having been accidentally called to one of the leading articles in your journal of Monday last, in which I find myself most wantonly and grossly attacked (for being the only English Roman Catholic Earl thb identity is at once established), I call upon you to contradict and disavow the calumnious charges you have brought against me, in as public and conspicuous a manner as that in which you have been pleased to bring them forward. " I state in the most distinct and unqualified terms, that as far as I am concerned there is no particle of truth whatever in the transactions you have so minutely and so indignantly de scribed. I have no personal acquaintance with the Noble Earl alluded te, nor did I know to whom your statement referred till subsequently informed on the point. I was not even aware of the existence of the borough in question, much less of the peculiar circumstances in which it seems to be placed. I never have been engaged in any electioneering traffic what ever, nor a party to any such bartering as that in which you have attempted to implicate me. " I am willing to believe that you have allowed yourself to be duped by some profligate person (to use your own 'expres sion), into a belief of the calumnious statement you have put forth ; but it is only a small palliation of the offence, to have given such easy credence to the malignant fabrications of men whose sole aim is to vilify and degrade her Majesty's Mini sters by the most base accusations, however unfounded they may be, against those who think with them on great public questions.—l remain, Sir, your most obedient servant. " SHREWSBURY. " 7, Stanhope-street, July 12, 1837." Mr. Wright, the Roman Catholic banker, the other party alluded to, sent yesterday the following letter to the Morning Post, which we have no doubt will appear in that paper of this day " Sir,—Having yesterday seen a paragraph in your paper stating a negotiation to have been pending between me and Lord Portarlington for the representation of the borough of Portarlington, I beg leave most unequivocally to state that I never had the most distant idea of offering myself as a candi date for its representation ; nor was I authorised to treat for it by any person or persons whatever. I have nothing to do with his Lordship's property but in the capacity of trustee; and so little do I interfere with poli tics that I did not know till I read it in your paper of an oppo sition existing against his Lordship's brother, the Honourable Dawson Darner. " I know not what political power my trust can confer ; but if any, I am sure neither Mr. Mahony nor Mr. William Blount (my co-trustees) would wish to make it available to breaking down family arrangements; and let any tenant vote which way he pleases, we will never be guilty of such a dereliction of duty as to eject him from his tenure, or molest him in any way whatever for his political votes or opinions, either in county or borough. The remarks as to my conferring titles are too ab surd to reply to; hut as far as I have any control over the fountain of honour, I certainly think myself authorised to dub the person with the title of a most egregious ass who could cram his brains and your columns with such absurdities. " I am, &c., " JOHN WRIGHT." Mr. Wright's letter requires no comment. " Let any te nant vote which way he pleases, we (i. e., himself and his co trustees) will never be guilty of such a dereliction of duty as to eject him from his tenure, or molest him in any way what ever for his political votes or opinions, either in county or bo rougX." We are not sorry that the Morning Post has, without in tending it, been instrumental in eliciting so seasonable a state ment.—Morning Cronicle. CHELTENHAM-FRIDAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR-I am the ironmonger alluded to in your second leader of Thursday last, and although it is true that one of the Tory Committee did, during their canvass, threaten me with the witlu of his custom, for my firm but respectful assurance ihat I could not conscientiously record my vote in favour of their candidate, Mr. Jonathan Peel, my sense of justice and regard for truth compel me to assert that the insinuation con tained in that article of the gentleman's being at all indebted to me is a direct falsehood of your correspondent's. Relying upon your insertion of this c ontradiction, I am your obedient servant. BENJ. NORMAN. .TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR—Sir NV. Chaytor, Bart., yesterday declared himself for the North Division of Durham—and it is considered the de claration of my Lord Durham will materially assist in his re turn, though he has come so late into the field.---Yours, &c. July 13. A TRUE REFORMER. - - Last night woikmen appeared in the House of Lords to make the requisite preparations for the reception of her Majesty to prorogue in person the present session of Par liament. It is stated that the ceremonial will take place on Monday : Parliamentary electors in cities and boroughs will lore their votes unless they pay on or before the 20th of July instant, the poor-rate and window tax due on the .sth of April last. County voters must send in their claims by the 20th of July instant. ENNISKILLEN-IVEDNESDAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—As a constant reader of your paper, and an admirer of the able manner in which you have advocated principles of religious freedom, and inculcated feelings of charity and brotherly love amongst persons of all persuasions, I think there is a favourable opportunity of your bringing before the public two instances of the most gross violation of the public peace, order, and decorum, upon record—and by high functional ics ; for, shame to say ! they took place with the connivance and by the assistance of the Mini:ter of the Pro:estant Church : and we hope that you may appeal, in the powerful and convincing language of your Journal, to the violent and furious Orange men of this district, to permit reason to assume her reign, and to forget party feelings in a desire to promote the peace of - Ireland. Oa the Ist of this month (Elio anniversary of the battle of the Boyne), a blood-red banner, with " No Popery !" written upon it in large letters, was hoisted upon a flag-staff on the tower of Enniskillen Church ; and although the mortal remains of our late excellent King vemained unentombed, and the flags all over the kingdom, and in this town on that very day, were only half-mast high, yet this insulting banner floated on the top of the flag-staff of the Church I On the previous night, at ten o'clock, a band of music, stationed on the turret of the Church, played for hours tunes sure to offend the Ro man Catholic inhabitants ; as " Croppies, lie down," " The Protestant Boy," &c. &c. The Government of Ireland bad issued a strong proclama- tiun, which had been extensively circulated, and generally prsted up, prohibiting all processions, tumult, music, &c. ; and the active stipendiary magistrate resident here, Major Burke, was determined to enforce the law ; but when churchwardens and clergymen lend their Chui ches to become the arena of noise, of exciting and illegal music, and fur political purposes, how can the law be enforced? The magistrate had no power to burst open the doors of the Church ; and from the night of the 30th June, until some hours into the morning of the Ist July, was this disgraceful tumult disturbing the quiet inhabi tants, outraging all pure religion, and exciting sectarian and political feelings. The same illegal display, the same criminal use of the Church, and the noise of assembled hundreds in the streets, took place again last night ; and this morning, 12th July, to celebrate the battle of Augliritn, the " Blood-red Banner," with " Nu Popery I" upon it, floated a second time from the turret of Enniskillen Church. The stipendiary magistrate marched through the town with the 96th regiment ; but the law did not enable him to force Church-doors, to disperse bale intoxicated musicians, or to enter the Churchyard, to put to flight a noisy and tumultuous gathering. In Ireland alone could such a scene be witnessed; and yet men of station were present—Lord Cole, for instance; and a gentleman of very large fortune cried, at the top of his voice, " Hurrah for the King of Hanover I" but was arrested, and subsequently bailed. If the Hon. and Rev. Robert Maude, the Rector, would forbid this sacrilegious desecration of his Church, and gentle men of station not lend their sanction to such outrageous meet ings, and you, Mr. Editor, could, by an appeal to the inhabi tants, instil a love of order, rather than a hatred of neighbours, what blessings would not be showered down upon Ireland Your numerous readers in this town leave their cause in ybur hands, not doubting of your efficient assistance—more especially at this moment of a general election, and the com mencement of a new reign. You may rely upon the strict accuracy of the information. Your obedient !errant, A LOYAL PROTESTANT, BUT NO DISTURBER OP THE PEACE. BATH-FRIDAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. STR,—Although your valuable columns might be much better occupied than with the statements and counter-statements of a constant reader, and an old subscriber, (who might both be better employed in returning good men and true, to support her Majesty's Government and the cause of Reform), some notice must be taken of an Old Subscriber's letter in last night's Sun, relative to the Bath election, if it is only to correct his statement that Captain Scobell* is brought forward by the Agnewites ; and so, according to his sage conclusion, as Sir Andrew Agnew is a Tory, Captain Scobell and his friends are Tories. This mode of reasoning is very ingenious certainly, but will mislead no one acquainted with the state of parties here. Captain Scobell, then, is supported by the 'friends of Mr. Hobhouse, with many additions—these have always considered Mr. Roebuck as a very unfit representative for Bath, and he has by no means acted in a conciliatory manner towards them, but has taken every opportunity of de nouncing them, in the style of Robespierre, as enemies to Reform ; but ho has not done the same by Lord John Russell ? The truth of the matter is, the friends of Captain Scobell are not Agnewites, but true and consistent friends to Reform, who struggled and suffered for that cause when Mr. Roebuck was in obscurity. If the cause of Reform suffer here, it will be from the ob stinacy of the violent Radicals, in persisting in the support of a man particularly offensive to all but themselves. Let them (if sincere Reformers) throw this political Jonah overboard, and the good ship Reform will right, and sail triumphantly into port.—l am, Mr. Editor, A CONSTANT READER. • Captain Scobcll, who has been known in this city for the last twenty years as a consistent Reformer, has pledged himself to support the present Government and its measures ; conse quently, the Bills on the Irish and Church-rate questions, and all others of equal importance. HUNTINGDON, FRIDAY. (FROM OUR OWN CORRES}ONDINT.) There will be a severe contest for this county, and it is much to be feared that the result will be unfavourable to the loyal and constitutional cause. The independence of the county can hardly fail to sink under the pressure of the com bined influences of the Manchester, Sandwich, Sparrow, and Fellowes families arrayed against it, even if it had no other opposition to encounter. The fifty pound clause works to Lord Chandos's heart's desire in this small county. That it should be instrumental in ousting Mr. Rooper from Parlia ment, is deeply to be deplored . for a man more zealous and attentive to his Parliamentary duties—more firmly attached to his political principles, and to the interests of agriculture._ and more highly respected for his public and private worth, has seldom entered the walls of St Stephen's. The Consti tutionalists imagine that the matrimonial alliance on the tapis between two members of Mr. Rooper's and Mr. Fellowes's families, will be advantageous to them ; and certainly if second votes can be neutralized to any extent, Mr. Rooper will re main Member for Huntingdonshire. They Aro very indignant at the conduct of Lord Sandwich, who, they say, ought to be content with monopolizing the two seats for the town ; and they talk of besieging him in his citadel, at no very distant day. CAMBRIDGE, JULY 14.—The sitting Members have con cluded their canvass. Mr. Rice has been engaged upon it for the last three days, from an early hour in the morning to a late one at night. He has addressed various parties of his constituents, and has in general been well received. Some broad hints have been given him on the subject of the Ballot, which may have the effect of making him a less active oppo nent, if not of inducing a change of sentiment. Mr. Knight and Mr. Sutton arrived last night, and are renewing their canvass to-day. Their partisans speak of their return with even a more confident tone than that of the Constitutionalists towards their candidates. A stranger would imagine that the town returned four Members.
