AUGUST 3, 1837. The election for Middles , ,A cowmenced this day. The state of the Poll at the hour at which we write is rather unfavourable ; but cheering assurances of the certain triumph of BYNG end are pouring in upon us from all parts of the county. We looked for such a triumph from the public spirit, the political in telligence., the liberality, the consistency, and the in corruptible patriotism of the great majority of tile first eenstitucncy in the British empire. Tha news, how ever, is not the less welcome on that account. We are delighted to have our confidence in the political in te,irity of the Middlesex electors confirmed in a way which must redound to their immortal honour. Tory br:i4:s, we are assured, have been to a great extent proated in vain ; Tory :lantlets. have gone for 110- ; and Tory intimidation—save in the case Of a few servile shopkeepers, who are a d:srace to honest tradesmen, to their country, and to hunLin nature—hw; Len lanOied to scorn. But even of this class of voters, the great majority have been proof against the power ful temptations held out to them by the Tories. Many of them have nobly scorned the acceptance of tempo rary and personal advantages held out to them on con dition of their absenting themselves from the poll; and others have made hrge sactitices rather than forego the honest discharge of the sacred trust reposed in them by the Reform Bill. _ _ The calumnies of the apostate Times, and the other 'l%.;ry organs of Hanoverian opinion, will not deceive a Angle elector. BYNG and HUME, in addition to their long and valuable public services, are the repre entatives of principles reumniz.ed as the birthright of the ISt itish people, but of which the Tories would for ever deprive them. BYNG and HUME are the representa tives of short Parliaments—of an extended franchise —of a reformed and responsible House of Peers—of a free trade with all the world—of cheap and speedy justice—of an amended Criminal Code—of a purified Penision List—of a Municipal system of Government for Ireland—of a freedom from compulsory Church exactions—and a further reduction of taxation. The Middlesex electors have only to ask themselves whe ther they prefer these measures to the corrupt state of the representation and Government of this country be fore the passing of the Reform Bill, tobecome instantly aware of the importance of the service which they will render to themselves, their country, and their posterity, by recording their votes in favour of their late faithful representatives. But it is against Hum E that the Tory influence and the Tory calumnies are principally directed. Were the Tories to succeed in ousting him, the adherents of CUMBERLAND would be satisfied. His able and well-timed support of Ministers during the last Ses sion of Parliament has filled .the faction with inex tinguishable rage and despair. They regarded him as a arithmetician and a theorist—a moment of peril pre sented itself, and he proved himself a statesman. He flung aside every crochet to save his country. The late King sent to Rome fot a Tory Premier ; HUME by his prompt support of the Whigs relieved the Sovereign from his embarrassment, by enabling his Majesty to permit his " Right trusty and well-beloved Councillor, Sir ROBERT PEEL, Bart.," to resume his inspection of the curiosities and antiquities of the Eter nal City. The Tories never will, and never can for give this splendid proof of Hum E's sound judgment —of his enlarged and tolerant patriotism. As an in stance of the vile and contemptible shifts to which they are driven to injure hiM with the electors, we quote the following, which appears as a leading article in the apostate Times of this morning : As an instance of the utter scoundrelism which the " Hume and Byng party" mean to practice at the election for Middle sex", we beg to call the attention of our readers to " a card" they have published under the title " Instructions on Pulling." It runs literally thus:— " INSTRUCTIONS ON POLLINO. " If you are asked your name ? " Answer.—J. H., as the case is. " When you are asked fur whom you poll ? Answer.—Byng and Hume. " If you are asked have you polled before at this Election ? " Answer.—No." We pray every honest man to mark well the last of these "instructions": If you are asked, have you polled before at this election? Answer No . This is the way in which the sham majority over Mr. Palmer was gained in the city —namely—by lying—by falsely answer ing " No" to this question. But the " instructions" were of course written by the agents of Joseph Hume who declared, openly in the House of Com mons , t h at " he Would vote that . black was white" to keep the Whig-Radical -Papists in office ! Are the voters for Middlesex so abandoned and so base as to vote for a man who proclaims hi mse lf t o be indifferent truth offeror fAsehood, and whose agents• a print e d comn - lon form for lying to the constituency? Electors of Middlesex, mark the " utter scoundrel ism" of the inference drawn by the Times, from the last question of instructions from a polling card T. With out the evidence of language, it would not be believed, that a mind existed base enough to infer an instruc tion to commit perjury in a card addressed to the en tire electoral body. Besides, arc not the electors in structed, in the same card, to tell their names cor rectly ; and is the writer in the Times such an ss, as to suppose that a man could openly poll twice in the same booth, in the same name, and for the same freehold ? But the " utter scoun drelism" of this mean and dastardly attack upon Mr. HumE is best exposed by stating the fact, that WOOD and PowNALL'S Co►nmittee have circulated thou sands of Fuch cards, without any notice being taken of them. We entreat the Reformers not to suffer themselves to be lulled into a false security. To defeat the Tories, they must crowd to the poll. The elector who is absent votes as effectually for WOOD and PowNA 1. as if he recorded his name for them in the Sheriff's books. The Tories are vigilant and ac tive, and can only be overcome by greater vigilance and activity on the part of the Reformers. To the poll ! to the poll ! men of Middlesex ! and vote for BYNG and HUME, if you prefer political honesty to apostacy—the independent exercise of the elec-. tive franchise to bribery, perjury, and intimida tion—cheap and good government to the despo tism of an irresponsible Aristocracy—a Reformed Christian Church, to a corrupt tithe-devouring State Establishment—and civil and religious liberty, to social degradation and Episcopal sinecurism and in tolerance. Remember, too, that you double the value of your votes by vpting early. We return to the subject of Sir FRANCIS BtJR DETT and the North Wilts election. This traitor to the cause of truth—this apostate from every principle of freedom—this crawling, doting Tory sycophant, who cringes in the mud to the very faction, which for years and years was abused by him in the strongest terms that the English language can supply—this man has actually the effrontery to tell the Wiltshire electors that though he feels he is not strong enough, nor in telligent enough adequately to represent Westminster, he is yet quite strong enough, and quite intelligent enough to represent the Northern Division of their county ! Do our readers doubt—as well they may — this startling assertion ? Here is evidence furnished by the man himself ! " I resign," says he, in his Address to the Westminster Electors, " less re luctantly, as being fully aware how unequal I should henceforward prove to the fulfilment of the duties justly expected from your Representative." And yet, though confessedly incompetent to do jus tice to 'Westminster, the apostate Baronet consi. ders himself fully equal to the task of representing North Wiltshire ! In the one instance he feels that he has a shrewd, enlightened constituency to deal with ; in the other, a mere fraternity of thick skulled clod-hoppers. Men of Wiltshire, will you allow yourselves to be insulted in this bare-faced fashion ? Will you so far disgrace yourselves as to return the man who tells you—indirectly, it is true, but not the less positively—that though not good enough for Westminster, he is yet quite good enough for you ? Who puts himself forward as a sort of God-send, which you are bound to welcome with all possible gra titude and humility ? Will you—we ask again—sub mit to this unparalleled bullying—if you do, you deserve to be cursed with a Tor , Ministry for centuries ; to have the last farthing screwed out of your pockets by Tory taxation ; to have Tory jails and barracks built up in every town and village of your district ; to have a Tory Swing blazing up in your every barn and corn-field ;—in a word, to be scorned— kicked—spit upon, and.trauvled in the dust by Tory ism in its most ummtigated forin—that maignant, des potic faction, the main - 4rticle of Nvilose creed is, that the Many wyre born to :I3C slaves, and the Few to be their masters. But Sir FRANCIS BURDETT tells you he is still unchanged. " Such as he had ever been," he says, in his late speech at DMvizes, "such he still was." Indeed! Teen is truth a fiction, and the greatest of fictions. Then is black white—sunshine ahadow— honesty a ny,re synonym for knavery. Did the Hon. Baronet never tell the electors of Weitminster— parodying the language of old Tir UllLow—that when he forgot the political sins of the Tories, might GOD forget him ? Did he never advocate Annual Parlia ments—Universal Suffrage—Vote by Ballot—and every question most likely to give deadly offence to the Torits ? Did he never say, Toryism was the curse of its age and country, and that a man could never advocate its principles, except by casting rudely from him every sentiment of honour, justice, and com mon sense ? Did he never compare a Tory to the thief BA RA BBA s on the cross ; drink anti-Tory toasts with HoRNE TOOKE at Wimbledon ; and set about a subscription for COBBETT, alleging, as his reason for so doing, that though he personally disliked the man, yet he felt it his duty to support him, because he was ail ever-rankling thorn in the side of Toyrism ? Did Sir FRA NCIS BURDETT never act in this manner—advocate these ex treme opinions ? We defy him to deny it. How then—with these damning facts staring him in the face—does he dare to come forward, and tell us he is still unchanged ? How does he, acting now with PEEL and LYNDHURST, dare to say that he is still staunch to the principles which they have made it the labour of their lives to oppose ? Are the Tories changed ? Alas, no ! It is in Sir FRANCIS Burt , DETT that the degrading change has taken place. He is the arch-renegade. He is the whole-Flogger of unblushing apostacy. He it is, and not the Tories, the prime struggle of whose dotage is to prove that his meridian manhood has been one long, continuous, per- severing lie ' And this is the ma❑ who tells the North Wiltshire electors that he is the very best representative they can possibly obtain ! Can maudlin,- drivelling im becility go further than this ? Why, the Hon. Baronet has not only got a " chalk-stone" in his heal, but in his head also, which supplies the place of brains, and causes him to act in his present (otherwise) unaccountable manner. But the great secret of all his chopping and chang ing is this—disappointed vanity. So long as Reform was still to be carried, he was a great man, but the instant it had passed into a law, his vocation was gone—and he felt it. Younger and more active spi rits entered upon the stage, and engaged society's no tice : and this Sir FRANCIS could not endure. He had no notion of being thrown aside as an old, worn out garment. The calm gratitude of contemporary Re formers was not enough for him. He must still be foremost in the world's eve ; still be notorious ; if not for good, at least for evil. O'CoNNELL's popularity, in particular, stung him to the quick. It was a slight towards " England's pride, and West minster's glory," not to be forgotten or forgiven. He resented it accordingly, in the most intemperate lan guage ; and when twitted with such unworthy jealousy by the Liberal Press, sulked for. some months with Reform and its most strenuous supporters. As yet, however, he was only hesitating on the banks of the Rubicon ; the fatal stream had yet to be passed ; and this was done, when, throwing off his old friends, the Hon. Baronet stood the other day on the Tory inte rest for Westminster. Disappointed vanity, we repeat, is the sale cause of his late apostacy. Notorious he must be—no matter at what sacrifice of principle— and notorious he is, to an extent unsurpassed even by FIIILLPOTTS. 'e return to the subject with which we set out— the claims of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT on the suffrages of the North Wilts electors. These must be repu diated at once, or the contagion of apo:itacy will spread far and wide. The present is no time for mincing matters. Eithe r R e f orm i s a mere juggling fraud, or the Hon. Baronet the. most m ons t rous of traitors. We are for the latter hypothesis ; and so, we are convinced, will North Wiltshire be, when the Great day of battle arrives. The faction i❑ the interest, and, if report speak truth, in the pay of the King of HANOVER, have suc yeeded in forcing creatures of their own stamp upon several counties which were wholly or in part repre sented lately by Reformers. Of this partial success, they are welcome to make the most they can : it will be of little avail to them in the long run. It will but slightly diminish the reforming majority against which they will have to contend in the new Parliament, and when the unprincipled means to which they have re sorted to obtain it are made known, it will only add to that feeling of detestation which their base conduct has already excited in the public mind. When the Tory tyrant has mustered his slaves at the polling booth, and borne down the suffrages of freemen, he thinks he has achieved a:victory. He has indeed achieved the only vic tory that brings unalloyed pleasure to a Tory heart—the victory of arbitrary power over liberty—such a victory as NICHOLAS gained in Poland—as CUMBERLAND has gained in Hanover—as the despot gains wherever he plants his ruthless hoof upon the necks of freeborn men. This, we repeat, is the triumph of the English landlord, who compels his tenants to surrender their electoral rights to him ; and were his power equal to his will, he would never cease till he had eradicated every germ of liberty from the British Constitution. Fortunately this is not the case. It will be found that the people are strong enough to put a hook in the nose and a bridle in the mouth of Toryism, rampant though it be in the agricultural districts of England. If the tenants at will here have been reduced to the state of bond slaves, and are thereby become the fit instru tnents of tyrants, there is spirit enough—and more than enough—in Scotland and Ireland, to counter balance the evil. In Scotland, we know attempts have been made to over-rule the voices of the Lorca fide electors, by the fabrication of fictitious votes, and some of the Clergy have, through sheer ignorance of political matters, in, which they are very ill qualified for mingling, lent' themselves to the delusions of a cunning faction, by tzying to influence members . of their flocks; but in spite of these drawbacks, and of all the other ob stacles which have been thrown in the way of improvement, the Reformers of Scotland have already shown, and will still further show, that, as far as they are concerned, Reform shall proceed at an accelerated pace. They have proved, by discarding Sir ANRREW AGNEW in the south, and CUMMING BRUCE in the north, that they are not to be hum- bugged by the politico-reli2ious cant which, while it raises one eye to Heaven has the other steadily fixed upon earth and the things thereof. In Orkney the Tory has found the current of Reform too strong to leave him any hopes of stemming it. He has, ilierefote, cut and run ; leaving Mr. FREDERICK DUNDAS to carry oif the prize. In the neighbouring county of Caithness, a third and worse canter titan either AGNEW or BrtucE, will, we trust, share a simi lar fate. Sir GEORGE SINCLAIR is a renegade prom every principle which first recommended him to the people of Caitlmes;. From being a professed Liberal—holding, in ieed, almost extreme opinions— lie has become, as apostates always do, the most in veterate enem y and persecutor of everything Liberal, and an abettor of the vilest principles of Toryism, going hand in hand with Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, if not rather urging on that popr demented creature to the extra7agances of which he has of late been guilty ; and this too, lat it be observed, by the ascen dancy which he (SINc LAIR), as a religious man, has gained over the decayed mind of the pupil of Ho RNE TOOKE. In opposition to this man, there is Mr. TRAIL, who is surpassed by no individual in Scotland in his attachment to Reform, and whose character as a private gentleman stands deservedly high with all who know him, and highest of all with those who know him best—the electors of Caithness. Mr. TRAIL, while he represented the county of Orkney, was one of those who stood unflinchingly by Lord GREY during the discussion of the Reform Bill, and is now as determined to follow it out in all its latural consequences as he then was to pass i Between two such candidates the Reformers o: Caithness cannot hesitate. They will, as sonic consti• tucncies in that part of the kingdom have already done, and as others are preparing to do—elect the Reformer, and send the Tory to the right-about. We cannot conclude these observations without call- ing the attention of our readers to the admirable speech of S►r HENRY PARNELL delivered at Dundee on the day of his nomination. Sir HENRY there inti mates his hope—almost his belief—that the Ministry are prepared to revise the pension list, and to make the Ballot and Triennial Parliaments open questions. We trust they will, and cannot but express our opinion that it would have been better for them had they done so sooner. However, these are great points gained. The Ministers have opposed the Ballot hitherto, but they have smarted for it severely. If that mode of election had been in prac tice, the Liberal cause would have bee► in a different position from what it is ; and Toryism, instead of rearing its arrogant head, as it is doing, would have been prostrate in the dust. fhe Tories are quite in ecstacy at the result of their schemes for intimidating and bribing the electors in the Counties and Boroughs of England, and in the height of their extravagance, intimate their intention next Parliament to cast off Mr. ABERCROMBY, and choose for Speaker the Irish Ex-Chancellor, Sir E. SUGDEN. If they could, they, no doubt, would cawy the intention into effect ; for never was a party so galled, so humbled, so beaten to the ground as the PEELITES were by the first division in the last Par liament, and they naturally feel a strong antipathy to the individual who for the three last Sessions has been constantly before their eyes to remind them of their defeat. But, thanks to the Reform Act, this consum mation is beyond their power. Allowing them all the gains they claim in the corrupt constituencies in England, there are two other countries, Scotland and Ireland, that have known how make the .proper use of that great measure—to keep down a party who in the one monopolised all power and patronage, and in the other used their power only to keep the great body of the people in bondage. The Tories boasted last Parliament that the majority of the Eng lish representatives were Tory, and that but for the two adjuncts, and particularly the people whom they describe as " aliens," they could have carried on the Government in the good old fashioned style when Scotland and Ireland were unrepresented, and the rotten boroughs were regarded by them as the noblest pillars of the Constitution. They will still find the result the same. Scotland and Ireland will be true to, themselves. The former has too lively a sense of gra titude for the great benefits of Reform to support those who ever were, and still are, its bitterest enemies ; and the latter has too many grievances yet unredressed to submit to the rule of men who were the great cause of their grievances, and who are struggling for office in order to perpetuate them. Last Parliament, these two countries did their duty nobly. The Irish Members often claimed the merit of having turned the balance, and much as they deserve praise for their spirited con duct and their cordial support of the Ministry, still it is only just to Scotland to say, that without her aid the victory could not have been gained, and that she . gave her support rather for benefits conferred than for an which she had to expect. Scotland had obtained almost every reform she could claim, yet out of 53 representatives, sent 37 Liberals, or more than two thirds of the whole ; while Ireland, with many grie vances to redress, out of 105 sent 69 Liberals, a pro portion somewhat less. This, however, is no dispa ragement to the people of that country. Ireland was without Municipal Reform, which Scotland possessed, and which to a certainty decided the balance in her fa vour. After the sickening exhibitions in the English boroughs, it is a relief to see the glorious returns made by the burgh constituency of Scotland. We believe with one exception, and that arose from bad management, all the burghs of Scotland have now sent Reformers ; and the counties, according to the best calculations, will exhibit an improvement on the returns made to the last Parliament. Of Ireland there can be no doubt ; and we may therefore safely conclude, that notwithstanding all the boasting, and in spite of all the bribery and intimidation of the party to which he belongs, Sir EDWARD SUDDEN will long continue simply Ex-Chancellor of Ireland. The whole of the Paris journals of Tuesday have been received. The Government had received the following telegraphic despatches from Spain : " Narbonne, July 30, 5 o'clock, ♦.U. Perpignan, 29th, in the evening. " Ripoll capitulated on the 27th. The troops of the gar rison laid down their arms, but are not prisoners of war. They were conducted - to Olot. Urbistondo left in Ripoll a de tachment of Cab - alleria's band, and marched towards San Juan de las Abadessas." " Narbonne, July 31, half-past 4 a.m. " Perpignan, 30th, in the eveuinv,. " In the evening of the 27th Baron de Meer entered Olot with 6,000 or 7,000 men, and left it on the 29th to relieve San Juan and Campredon. At the passage of Capsacosta he had with the insurgents a warm engagement, of which the re sult is unknown ; 1.0 disarmed Christinos of the garrison of Ripoll arrived at Puyeerda on the 29th, and 150 others sought refuge in France, which they entered at Err." " Bayonne, July 31, half-past 1 o'clock. " THE N•VY COMMISSIONER TO THE MINISTER OF MARINE. " The Consul of France . in Santander writes to me under date the 27th, that Castor profiting by the departure of Gene ral Ascala in pursuit of the eight Biscayan battalions which have made their way into Castile, has approached that city (Santander) at the head of 3,000 men, 1,000 of whom already occupied the valley of Toranzo. Brigadier Castaneda has been outflanked. " Don Carlos has re-entered Cantasieja, and it is said that he is ill. The troops and the bands of Arragon and Valencia have united there. Espartero and Oraa hare taken that direc tion, and are going to besiege the place." _The Phare of the 29th states that the Carlist chief ZARIATEGUI was beaten on the 21st, near Haro, by the Portuguese Brigade. He fled in the direction of Yrache. To add to the disappointment of the Car lists, two Sardinian vessels, laden with stores and money for Don CARLOS, have fallen into the hands of the Christinos, the one being captured by an Eng lish, the other by a Spanish brig. The Sardinian Royalist smuggler seized by the Christinos had 10,000 muskets and some mortars on board.. There is no domestic news of interest in the Paris Papers. Annexed are extracts from them : There will be no expedition to Constantine, notwithstand ing the letters of the Duke of Nemours to General Tread. The Ministry are now treating with Achmetz. An agent of the Bey has arrived at Bona ; there have been several confe rences with him, and the preliminaries of the treaty are agreed upon. The telegraph announced this news a week ago. Five years ago Achmet Bey offered above a hundred mil lions to obtain a single issue to the sea ; we affirm this fact be cause we are certain of it. We shall now see what the Mi nistry will obtain from Achmet. It may be presumed that they will ask him to take and keep Guelma, and will represent to us as an advantage obtained by their address that we shall no longer have to pay the garrison. It was thus they rea soned in respect to l'lemecen.—Le Commerce. The marriage of the Princess Mary to Prince Alexander of Wurtomburg, is spoken off. This Prince, who is cousin to the I.lng of Wurternburg, has been at Paris for these ten or twelve days. The Phare of Bayonne of th4429th has news from Saragossa, stating that Oraa had passed the night of the 23d at Mora, proceeding towards Cantavieja, where Don Carlos was. Count de Lucena entered Catarnocha and Ponzondon on the same day, also going to Cantavieja, which he intends to besiege. The column of Conies, consisting of 2,000 foot and 200 horse, has been reinforced by two battallions from Lerida, and is to occupy the left bank of the Ebro. —Le Commerce.

The following are extracts : " Specie more abundant ; Money Stocks are working up ; the high price of specie is bringing it from all directions, and the supplies are getting large. There is no new feature in the Market for goods of any sort. Business is beginning to look better." We note that the above is from the Journal of Commerce, and is very encouraging to the friends of a hard money cur rency, and to the foes of irredeemable paper. By the steam-packet New York, in seventy-two hours from Charleston, we have received the papers of that city of the evening of the 6th inst., which furnish the following intelli gence from Florida:— " Mr. Kingsley's negroes passed here from Drayton Island, which they had abandoned, because the Indians made their appearance on the Nand. General Jessup has been for some days expected to arrive at Black Creek, and possibly he is there now. It is also reported the Indians have burned the Government building at Valusia." We hear from Trinidad, in ten days, that an insurrection broke out among the black troops, at St. Joseph, about eight miles from Port Spain, who assailed their officers, and got possession of the arsenals. Troops were procured, met the insurgents, and dispersed them. NEW ORLEANS, JULY I.—Specie received last evening from Tampico and Omoa , 14,307 do l l ar s.

Sir,—lt is with feelings of the deepest regret I ascertain that the recent election for the Eastern Division of Surrey is lost—wholly lost—through the apathy and disorganiza tion of the Reform Committees. Captain Alsager's friends, after the most active canvass, obtained only 2,200 pro mises, out of which 2,195 polled—the Reform canvass showing a decided majority in favour of King and Anger stein. So evident was this majority, that one of Alsager's Committee remarked the day prior to the election that he was afraid, from appearances, that Locke King would come in, if not both their opponents ; but why the result so dis astrous to Reform ? You had only to walk through the towns of Croydon or Kingston, or even the metropolitan streets, on the days of polling, and you would have observed the Tory carriages accompanied by, a zealous and active can vasser, were bringing up their men in gallant style—while the Reformer carriages were driving about here and there, in many instances without being acquainted with the names of those friends who had promised them their votes. This is East Surrey totally misrepresented, to the regret of all honest Reformers. Nothing would have induced me to make this communication but a hope that, through your widely-circulated and intelligent journal, you would impress the minds of Reformers with the necessity of appointing active and able men for their Committees, as I am satisfied had this been better attended to at the late elections the Reform cause would not have lost in Liverpool, Hull, Weymouth, &c. Reformers should not make too sure of victory. The Tories are making a desperate effort to get once more into power ; it therefore behoves every well wisher of good government and our excellent Queen, to employ all their energy in aiding the return of Reform candidates. Hoping that the unfortunate termination of the contest in the county above mentioned will act as a sti mulus to the Reform Committees in counties not yet de• tided, especially Middlesex, to call forth all their energy and activity to keep from power the satellites of the King of Hanover, and deeply lamenting the cause of this com• munication,—l am, Sir, City, Aug. 2, 1837. AN EYE WITNESS. [We are sorry to say that there is too much truth in ue remarks of our patriotic Correspondent ; and we cannot too earnestly impress on all true Reformers the necessity of better co-operation, as well as a more prompt and early attendance at the poll. One vote polled is worth two promises. Men of Middlesex I take warning by the indecision and delay of the East Surrey electors. Vote in time, and your honour is saved—the victory is won I—ED.

Will you be the organ of communieating to the public, that every statement with which my name is there con nected, is, as far as my knowledge extends, totally without foundation. The extract of a letter to Mr. Tait, is what I wrote in answer to the question, whether I would set off immediately to oppose Lord Dal meny in the Dunfermline Burghs, being the first communi cation I had ever had with any living creature on the sub ject.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, T.

Only one feeling was predominant—that the success in the Northern Division should be commensurate with that in the Southern. NORTHUMBERLAND (SOUTH). NZWCACTLE, Are. I.—There was a rumour yesterday that Captain Blackett would be opposed by Mr. Coulson, the re jected of Newcastle. That they might not be taken at a dis advantage, the Reformers were prepared with a second candi date, and it was ardently hoped that the Tories would have the hardihood to attempt the same trick in the county as they had tried in the town ; but they have learned wisdom from expe rience, and Captain Blackett has, this day, been allowed to walk over the course, and to be returned with the Tory, Mr. Bell. Reformers may consider this a gain to the cause, because though Mr. Beaumont called himself a Whig, he seldom sup ported Ministers, and indeed was seldom in the House ; whereas Captain Blackett will be diligent in his attendance, and will give a warm support to her Majesty's Ministers.

His fracas about a wife, a maid, a child, and a doctor, was a subject of regret to his countryme n; the more so as the concourse of royal and other illustrious personages at the time, including . the Queen Pauline of Wurtemberg, the Princess Augusta her daughter, and the ill-fated Dauphine of a declining dynasth with her royal consort, witnessed the freaks of that nobleman** —Dr. Granville's Spas of Germany.
