NOMINATION OF CAN DIDATES FOR EAST CORNWALL. (Abridged from the Supplement to the Devouport Inde pendent of Saturday.) The Nomination fur Candidates to represent the Eastern division of Cesnwall, took place at Bodmin yesterday (Friday the 4th of August). Very convenient and com modious hustings were erected near the new Assize Hall, and every accommodation was given to the public press. The three candidates, Sir Hussey Vivian, Lord Eliot, and Sir William Trelawney, were escorted into the town by an immense cavalcade of gentlemen, yeomanry, &c., on horse back imd on foot, accompanied by banners, music, &c., each cheering their favourite candidate vociferously as they approached and made their appearance on the hustings. Sir WILLIAM NloLeswonve then presented himself to the electors. He was most warmly welcomed by `his old constituents, the sheets with which he was greeted lasting for some minutes. When they had in some degree sub sided, he said--both in Parliament and out of Parliament he had acted Ike a free independent gentleman, anxious to promote the cause of Reform, for which purpose he had always supported those measures calculated to improve the condition of the people, to diminish all lavish expenditure in the State, and to disseminate education among all classes ; he had therefore given a free and independent suerort to the Melbourne Administration.—(Cheers.) He had likewise voted for those constitutional changes, the ballot, and a shorter duration of Parliatnents—(Cheers, mixed with hisses from the Blues.) Now was the time that all sections of Reformers should unite, and he bo'ped the intelligent electors of East Cornwall would be animated with that feeling, that they would not forget Their ancient fame as Reformers.—(Cheers and groans.) Nall—much remained yet to be done by the legislators of the nation for the good of the people, which never would be accomplished, if they promoted men among whom opinions so different prevailed. If they would allow him, there was one top ic to which he would allude—that topic was Ireland ; and in so doing, he could not ref ra'n from paying a aribute of well-merited praise to the Hon. Baronet, Sir Hussey Vivian, for the liberal principles with which he had ever aueocated the cause of that country, both in Parliament and in that country itself, when holding a station in it of great puls;:e trust. His conduct had won him the esteem of the whole trig) nation. But much re- - !stained to be done in that country, in amends for centu ries of Tory oppression. He would ask his brother electors if they sympathized with their fellow-citizens, if they would not wish to see s imilar institutions given to both countries?—(Yes.) Then, if they did, must they not be indignant at the means used to refuse the granting them municipal institutions? Must they not kindle at that bigotry which led the Tories to assert that the Catho lics were unfit for emancipation ? And, if they had one spark of generous feeling, they must refuse to receive, as their r epresentative, a member of that party which has again and again refused to redress the wrongs of Ireland, under the plea that that country is under the domination of O'Connell. The Tories were ever making a stalking horse and a political bugbear of that man.—( Hear, hear.) They might perhaps by this succeed in leading away a few ignorant and unthinking men, hut they could not affect by such means the great mass of the intelligent elec tors of East Cornwall. It was nothing but the conduct of the Tories themselves which had made O'Connell great ; and, by pursuing that conduct, they would render him still more powerful. The time was not far distant when the electors would obtain the ballot, and that would effectually strip these gentlemen of the undue influence of their pro perty—that would reduce them to their real insignificance, for they then would have to depend on their understandings only.—(Hear.) Then Hon. Gentlemen may support their relations in one division of a county in direct contradiction of the principles maintained by them in another division, without being able to compel whole bands of their te nantry to act in a similar manner.—(Loud cheers.) The last time he had the honour of addressing a multitude of his fellow citizens, he spoke to sixty thousand men, who then by their voice proclaimed him their representative, and the electors had confirmed their choice. He then told the electors of Leeds, he should bear from them a greeting to the electors of Cornwall, exhorting them to act in a similar manner ; that as they had acted in Leeds, so they should act in East Cornwall—that they should give a signal defeat to tho Tories.—(Loud and continued cheering.) He con cluded by proposing Sir William Trelawney. GEORGE CALL, Esq., seconded the nomination. If Sir W. Trelawny was to be sent to Parliament with Lord Eliot, it would be the best way to sign a requisition for him to rental': at home, since there was no public question on which they could agree.—(Cheers.) In the canvass which had been made of the county during the present contest, it was painful to see the parish priest converted into a poli tical partizan. He denied that the Church was in danger at all, except it was from the neglect of its own ministers. He trusted the Noble Lord would not take amiss the little friendly advice he would give him, to disband his corps of black-coated partizans, with an admonition to leave po litics to others. There was another question alluded to in the Noble Lord's address, that question was the Ballot ; lie is also strongly opposed to this. He should not pretend to fellow Sir William Molesworth oh this subject—he had neither the lungs nor the abilities to do so—but he thought that a Tory ought to be a friend of the Ballot, for if the re-action of which they spoke had really taken place, the Ballot would be an excellent screen for them. J. H. TREMAYNE, Esq., proposed Lord Eliot as a fit and proper person to represent them in Parliament. The Hon. GEORGE Foal's:scree came forward to second the nomination. The instant he appeared he was greeted with hisses, groans, and noises of all descriptions, accom panied with loud and frequent repetitions of the expressive soubriquet" Jim Crow." For any opinion he had ever held, for that opinion he was responsible. He had voted for the Reform Bill, for he was a Reformer once, and he was a Reformer then—(hear, hear, hear) —but not in the sense in which the Hon. Baronet who had just addressed them considered it. He was a conservator of all those institu tions of the country which had placed them where they were. Sir C. RASHLEIGH then appeared in front of the hustings and was received with three hearty cheers from the Liberal party. He spoke not to any one person there, he was now speaking to both parties—whether intimidation had been used either by Whig or Tory, he could speak from the in tercourse which he had with the people during the last few weeks, an universal impression seemed to prevail among them, that without the Ballot, or something equivalent to it, they could not freely exercise their right of suffrage. He would say that he could go the same length as his Hon. Friend, and that if a majority of his constituents called on him to support the Ballot, he would do it.—(Hear, hear, and applause.) There was another question, that of an exten sion of the right of suffrage ; lie should not at that time state what his express opinions were upon it, but lie would say that nothing could be more nonsensical than what they so frequently heard of the Reform Bill being a final mea sure, and when the blessings of education were more widely disseminated among the people, he thought there might be advantage in a more extended right of suffrage. Sir Colman then made some strong remarks on the Hon. Gentleman bringing - forward Lord Eliot as the exclusive advocate of the rights of the agricultural -part of the community, as if that party were the only friends of the farmers of Cornwall. He considered this was only brought forward as a kind of claptrap for catching votes. He proposed his Hon. Friend Sir Hussey Vivian as a candidate for the suffrages of the electors ; which was received by the electors with the most enthusiastic cheers. HUMPHRY WYWAMS, Esq., seconded the nomination of his Right Hon. Friend. Sir WILLIAM TRELAWNY rose to address the assembly, and was most warmly received said he had heard his address called revolutionary. He had intended to have finished his address to them in a very few words, but having been called a revolutionist, and an enemy of the Church, he wou'e! say the worst revolutionists were those friends of the Church who upheld all its abuses ; those were the ene mies of the Church who resisted the reformation of those worst abuses of all, who resisted that reform which would keep the hands of the Clergy out of the pockets of the Dissenters.—(Hear, hear.) He was of opinion that the people was the source of all power, and that the Govern ment was for the benefit. of the people, and not the people for the Government.—(Cheers.) He maintained that the mistaken friends of the Peers were those who upheld them in their continued opposition to every necessary Reform. —(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Because he had supported Nr. O'Connell, he was said to be a Catholic : he would openly say that he had been happy in rocking the ac quaintance of Mr. O'Connell—in private life he was an estimable man, a good father, and a pleasant and convi yiel friend ; but there was one of his votes against Mr. O'Connell which he had often regretted giving, that was t h e vote which he gave against him on the Irish Coercion Bali ; he regretted that he did not on that occasion concur with his Hon. Friend, the Member for Leeds, who was A L le to see through the errors of the Ministry of the day. Fur their opponents , who called th e mselves the farmers friends, he would ask now they voted on the Malt Tax ? They were pledged on the hustings, on the preceding elec tion, to vote tea' the repeal of that tax, but they afterwards voted directly a p e inst it. He had voted for the repeal of but as a farmer. As to that tax, not mil,: Radical, being a friend of the farincr, why he had passed his whole life—all his amusements had been among them. He would answer for it, he paid more wages for labour in one week, than L o rd Eliot had in the whole eourse of his life. On the the Tithe Bill he bad done all his power to abolish tithe from labour, from fish, and from coppice wood. There was another subject on which he would touch, that was the New Poor Law. He approved of its principle generally, and thought that in the space of ten years people would think it calculated to do much good.—(Hear,) He had voted against the abolition of Cora LBWS, and within A ftW months he had voted against a measure for taking flour out of bond, because he thought it trenched on the principle of the Corn Law. Sir William then briefly referred to his former votes and opinions on the questions of Universal Suf frage and the Ballot ; for the first lie did not know abso lutely what it was, whether it was meant that ladies should have a right to vote or not.—(A laugh.) Lord ELIOT then addressed the constituency. He was received with every mirk of respect from his of supporters. As soon as the cheering ceased, he said ho had to claim their indulgence, while a wolf in sheep's clothing, a cock chaffer in the grub state, and another small insect whose de scription he had not been able to catch, took the liberty of addressing them. A gentleman had that day made it an objection to him, as a representatiue, that he was the son of a Peer, alleging that the House of Peers had too great an influence in the Lower House already. He opposed the Ballot because it seemed ineffectual to its end. After ex plaining his opinions on Church-rates, which lie looked on only as a tax on property, he proceeded to the subject of the Corn-laws. As he was addressing an assembly of practical men, he could not enter into the whole theory of the laws respecting the importation of corn ; but he thought that, lookir ' s at the artificial state of society in England, her large debt, and the heavy taxation to which farmers were subject, it was impossible for the English grower to compete with the foreign one without some kind of protection. Ile then touched on the Poor-laws, stating that he had never courted popularity on this ques tion, but he had objections to some parts of them, such es that which contemplates the total cessation of out-door relief. Sir HUSSEY VIVIAN then addressed the meeting. On his coming forward he was received with long and continued cheers from his friends on all sides. Her Majesty had ascended the Throne under most auspicious circumstances. When she has declared that she will extend both civil and religious liberty to all classes of her subjects, would they support those whom she had chosen to be her Mi nisters, or those who speak of the Reform Bill as a final measure instead of what it really was—a means to an end. —( Hear, hear.) There were two ways of governing Ireland, either by the bullet or by concession ; he would ask any one, with the feelings of a Christian, which should he adopted ?—(Cheers.) He fully and fairly ex pressed his sentiments on the Church-rate question, which were most decidedly in favour of a reform of the present system. Ile had been fully convinced of the necessity of the Ballot during the canvass of the present election. Many electors whom he had gone to, to ask for their votes, had said they would willingly vote for, him, but their land lords would not allow them.—(Hear, hear.) He again expressed himself perfectly ready to support the Ballot on a petition so to do from a majority of his constituents. The Hon. Baronet concluded his address amidst the vehement cheering of his numerous friends and supporters. The SHERIFF then requested a show of hands for Sir William Trelawny, when a forest of hands was held up, the parties shouting " One and all" and loudly cheering. He next requested a show of hands for Lord Eliot, when a similar demonstration was made among hi; friends. He then requested a show of hands for Sir Hussey Vivian, when such an en thusiastic display was made as to place the matter beyond all doubt. The Sheriff was of the same opinion ; but halted between Lord Eliot and Sir William Trelawny to the evident astonishment of the great majority of the persons present, who exlaimed, " Why do you pause, Mr. Sheriff?"—" There can be no doubt."—" Trelawny and Vivian." The Sheriff then demanded another show of hands for Sir Wm. Trelawny, when all his friends went in front of the hustings, and such a demonstration was made in the Hon. Baronet's favour as to leave no doubt in our minds that the choice of the_great majority was with him. We will not impute to the Hon. Gentleman any improper bias, but to our perfect astonishment, and that of from 1,600 to 2,000 others present, he declared the show of hands in favour of Sir Hussey Vivian and Lord Eliot, amidst deep groans from the Reformers and loud applause from the Tories. SOUTH CHESHIRE. The Nomination of Candidates for the Southern Division of Cheshire took place on Friday morning, in the Shire Hall. CMARLXS WICICSTEAD, Esq., proposed Mr. George Wil braham as a fit and proper person to represent the Southern Division of Cheshire in the ensuing Parliament.—(Cheers.) E. V. TOWNSHEND, seconded the nomination. HANDLE WILBRAHAM, jun., Esq., begged to put Sir Philip de Malpas Grey Egerton, Bart., in nomination as a candidate to represent this division of the county. An out cry had been raised against the King of Hanover : they had been told by placards that when Duke of Cumberland lie was the head of the Tory party.—(Yes, yes, and no.) He denied it. As a peer of the royal blood of England they al.vays did and always would treat him with respect, but he denied that they ever were guided by his counsel. That Hanover was separated from England was to him matter of great satisfaction ; for he had always thought it a mill stone about the neck of England, and they made Hanover welcome to the King. The Rev. MAINWARING, of Brombro', seconded the nomination. Colonel FORD, of Abbey-fields, near Sandhach, nomi nated Mr. Edwin Corbett, and highly eulogised him as a man, a county magistrate, and a country gentleman, and• Mr. BROOKE, of Mere, seconded the nomination. Mr. WILBRAHAM then stepped forward, and was re ceived with loud cheering. lie did not quarrel with any man who thought that Lord Lyndhurst, Lord Durham, Sir Robert Peel, or the Duke of Wellington were the fitter men to guide the helm of the State ; but from long acquaintance and observation he was convinced that no man, whether they looked at his splendid talents, his dis interested conduct, his dignified demeanour, the powerful manner in which he supported the rights of the Crown when they were assailed, and the indignation which he hurled on the opposers of the rights of the people, stood higher with the country, and was more qualified for the task, than Lord Melbourne.—(Great cheers and hisses.) There was no man who, in his judgment, might be more truly called a Conservative.—( Hear.) Let them not mis take him : he was not talking about a Conservative in the commonly-received sense of that word by a political party ; he was not talking about a Tory who was ashamed of his proper name, which was not beloved by the nation, and who had altered that title and come before them in ano ther ; he was not talking about a renegade Whig—(Hear)-- who had risen to the top of the ladder in the cause of Re form, and then, from some disappointment of place or pen sion —(cheers)—he threw down the ladder on which he had risen. Such a man was a renegade, a turn-coat, a Jim Crow—(Laughter)—who had turned from one side to the other, and he could only say that from his soul he despised him.—( Cheers.) They could not either call that man a Conservative who with one stroke of his pen had Wetted out a Constitution. He was a Conservative of another sort, and was closely allied in sentiment with the great Powers of the Continent, who only wanted to bring their armies down upon this nation to crush the spirit of liberty.— (Cheers and hisses.) Was he a Conservative who was a Carlist in Spain, a Miguelite iu Portugal, and an Orange man in Ireland ? Was he a Conservative in the true sense of the word, who would rake up the ashes of discord, reli gious discord, in that unhappy land, and endeavour to intro duce intolerant principles among them.—( Hear, hear.) They might see from a variety of the votes he had given in the last few Sessions of Parliament that he had recorded votes in opposition to Ministers ; he had generally sup ported them from conviction, fitr he thought they had done more good for the country than any other Ministers that ever existed. Such were his feelings and opinions, and he would not desert his principles to gain his election. Mr. CORBETT then presented himself amid mingled cheers and hisses. As far as his political views went he believed they were pretty well understood by a large num ber of the electors of this county. He would, how ever, tell them that he was a Reformer—(Groans and laughter)—and he would tell them how far he was a Re former.—(Groans.) Ile was a Reformer in the terms of the Queen's speech, wh o sa id it wo uld be her care to strengthen the institutions, civil and ecclesiastical, by discreet im provement where improvement was required.—(Cheers.) The HIGH SHERIFF then proceeded to take a show of hands, which he declared was in favour of Mr. Wilbraham and Mr. Corbett, Mr. Wilbraham's friends being three to one of either of the other candidates. Mr. Randle b rit ham, jun., then demanded a poll for Sir Philip Egerton, which the Slieriff fixed for Monday and Tuesday next, commencing at nine o'clock. PERTHSH IRE. At the nomination for this county, Mr. STEWART, of Grandtully, proposed, and Mr. THOMAS RH - elm:, of Ruthven, seconded, the Hon. Fox Manic, who had proved himself a man of business habits and a faithful Reformer. Sir .Tots` P. M. M.KENztr., of Define, then proposed, and Mr. DuscAs, of Cargil, seconded, the nomination of Lord Stormont, after which Mr. Fox MAuLE stood lanyard, and was received with loud cheers. He said—l stand before you as an old and tried Representative, fearlessly to appeal this day whether I have not acted up to the principles upon which you first. elected me—(Loud cries of " You have") —and to solicit again that support which you before so nobly afforded me. You will recollect that the Duke of Wellington declared Some time ago that tl;cr.s. was no need of reform, and I would now call upon you to jeJge of the future from the past.—(Cheers,) Though I do not pvekAnfi to be a pro phet, I shall say that any set of men who may sane:and to the present government, un di spose d to y i e ld to th e peo ple their just claims, will throw the country into confia cioG, Its trade will become paralized, improvement in agriculture entirely .stopp4, And the present peace be changed to political Agi4tkori, P. 9 thAt G overnmen t t a ki ng power.—(Long continued clweriAo TIV M.Os ? particu- THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 7, 1831 larly well acquainted with the method of delusion which can serve their purposes, have raised in England a cry against the Poor-laws, and thereby endeavoured to inflame the lower classes against the higher. Sir R. Peel and the Duke of Wellington has e distinctly approved of the measure. Tie ultra-Tories cannot admit it, because it may suit them in their political agitation for electioneering purposes. In this country, acting on the same principle of electioneering agitation, they have touched the chord of your religious feelings, and raised the cry of Church in danger.—(Cheers.) Leaving this matter, I shall refer to the allegation that the present Government is supported by the aid of Daniel O'Connell. I may ask, however, in the first plate, who gave this power to Mr. O'Connell ? It was the Tories.— (Loud cheering.) By their refusing just government to Ire land, and governing by means of the Orange Lodges—( Loud cheers)—which had not only called O'Connell into exist ence, but also endangered the union of the threw kingdoms. The Tories had raised from mere nothing a giant which they could not lay down again ; and they now censure others for the results of their own conduct.— (Loud cheers.) Lord STORMONT then stood for srd, amidst the most uproarious hooting and hisses, witl ries of " Take him down," " No Reform hater," " Take are of your thumbs," "No football," &c. The noise continued for some time, and was so frequently renewed while he addressed the people, that we will merely attempt a cursory outline of his remarks. He began by requesting to be heard. He said that this was not a personal contest, but one of principle. He was not a Tory—(Loud cries of " You are," and hiss in.)—and would rather be considered a Whig of 1688. He would not quarrel with them about a word, but that was his opinion. The principles of the e'd Whigs were to support the Constitution in Church and State, and parti cularly the Protestant interest. He came forward to sup port those principles in opposition to one of the Destruc lives of that interest.—( Hisses.) His opponent was allied with those whose only object was to overturn the Protes tant religion. He oLs2rved Mr. Maule in the House of Commons, day after day, and night after night, sitting cheek by jowl with Daniel O'Connell.—(Great uproar and hoot . ing.) This was something extraordinary, and what was the reason of it ? It was because there was a compact made • betwee❑ Mr. O'Connell and the present Ministry._ Several questions were then asked of Lord Stormont, after which a show of hands was taken, and having been declared in favour of Mr. Maule, a poll was demanded. SCOTLAND. ( Abridged from the Scotsman.) The vaunting of the Tories about reaction l..ts been nobly answered by the enlightened and truly independent inhabitants of the towns of Scotland, who have decided by twenty to one in favour of the Melbourne Administration, and against the principles and policy of the Conservative party. The burghs and towns of Scotland return twenty three members of Parliament. Of these two are returned by Edinburgh, two by Glasgow ; Aberdeen, Paisley, Dun dee, Greenock, and Perth, return one each, making nine members for the seven large towns. The remaining 14 members are returned by clusters of towns, each cluster of from three to six towns returning one Member. The re sult of the elections in these towns and burghs we shall now examine, beginning with a tabular view of the popula tion of such as have returned Liberal Members. Where the Tories had a majority in any town forming part of a cluster which returned a Liberal Member, we have printed the name of the town in Italics, with the votes on both sides. In all the other towns of the districts, the Refor mers had a majority. In the Ayr burghs the contest was between two Refurincrs, and hence they are stated as hav ing had "no contest with the Tories. The towns and districts are arranged according to their population, begin ning with the largest first. Here follows a list of the towns and districts arranged according to their population beginning with the large first, from which it appears that the total burgh popula tion which has returned Reformers, is 841,902, and that the total number of Members returned Reformers, is 22. Having disposed of the burghs which have returned Re formers, our Contemporary states the fact that the Tories have returned only one Member, and that disgrace belongs to the Kilmarnock district of burghs ! . . After entering into some further calculation, and giving the details on both sides, the general results arc thus stated : GENERAL RESULTS. The total amount of . the population of the large towns, and of the districts which returned Reformers was 841,902, being one-third of the entire population of Scot land ; and the population of the single flistrict which re turned a Tory was 34,482, or about one-seventieth part of the population of Scotland. Giving the Tory party the benefit of the eight small towns printed in italics, belonging to Liberal districts in which they bad a majority, this will add 17,299 to their numbers ; but on the same principle, deducting from the Tory district Rutherglen and Renfrew, in which they were the minority, and the half of Dumbarton, in which the votes were equal, this will form a deduction of 9,385. Hence the net result will be—population returning Re formers, 833,988 ; population returning Tories, 42,396, or eelrly twenty to one ! In this Tory population of 42,396, there were only 705 Tory votes given, while there were 410 votes given for Reformers, and the whole population of non-electors almost to a man were in favour of the Reform candidates, as was proved by every show of hands taken during the present election. Hence the real comparative strength of the Tory party in these Tory towns, may be ascertained pretty nearly. by deducting the Tory voters and their families (who may be assumed to be Tories) from the entire popula tion, and the remainder will give the strength of the Libe ral party. But in order to prevent all carping and cavilling about numbers, let it be assumed that each Tory voter could find a Tory non-elector in the same town (an assumption which could not he realised in any of the towns of Scot land), and that each of these was likewise a member of a family of five, all Tories—young and old, male and female— this will give an actual Tory population of ten times 705, or 7,050, which, deducted from the gross population, will leave to the Liberal party in these Tory towns 35,346, or five to one in favour of the Reformers! So much for Tory re-acam. It should be noticed too, that the victory which Tories obtained for their champion in the Kilmarnock Burghs, was gained, not because of his politics, but because of his religion. Dr. Bowring was rejected, not becluse he was a Liberal, but because lie was a Unitarian ; and—tell is not in Gath !—because he was the editor of the works of Jeremy Bentham ! Mr. Colquhoun was elected, not because he was a Tory, but because he was a Churchman ; for he professed himself to be a Whig, and to differ with the Melbourne Ministry only regarding the Irish Church ques tion, the English Church -rates, and the additional endow ments to the Scottish Clergy. In all strictly political ques tions he professed to approve of their policy. In Dr. Bow ring's case, the penal laws have practically been re-enacted, and he has been punished fur his religious (pinions by a sentence of banishment from Parliament, passed by the Tories and High-Church bigots of Kilmarnock and Port Glasgow, aided, we are sorry to say, by the in tolerance of many Dissenters and Liberal Churchmen ; upwards of 150 of whom declined voting, although by doing so they could have returned the Liberal candidate by a majority of from seventy to eighty. Had Dr. Bow ring professed to belong to the Established Churches of England or Scotland, or to any sect of evangelical Dis senters, his election would have been secure. But the Li beral electors are already ashamed of their conduct; the days of Toryism are numbered, and Mr. Colquhoun will never be returned again for the Kilmarnock district of burghs. From these facts, it is evident that a fatal blow has been struck at Toryism in the Scotch towns and burghs, which, happily for us, are, with a few exceptions, free from the influence of the landed aristocracy, who, in the counties, have been driving their tenants like beasts of burden to the poll, to vote against the candidates of their choice. In regard to the towns and burghs, the party may now ex claim in sorrow—Toryism is fallen, is fallen, and shall no more arise ! Alas, alas! that great party, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea, by reason of her costliness ; for her merchants were the great meu of the earth ! in one hour is she made desolate. NARRATIVE OF THE LAST EXPEDITION INTO CENTRAL AFRICA, BY MACGREGOR LAIRD AND R. A. K. OLDFIELD, SURVIVING OFFICERS OF THE EXPEDITION.—At length we have a book of real travels, embraci ng scenes o f danger, privation , hardship, death—full of novelty, variety, character, and not less remarkable for the spirited determina tion with which the enterprise was carried through, so far as natural obstacles permitted, than important for the information gained as to the social and political condition of the interior of Western Africa, and the commercial speculations which that information suggests. As a picture of hair-breadth escapes aid personal adventure, perhaps it is inferior to Park's first Travels ; and the oft-pictured African river wants the lands cape novelty which characterised Denham's Journey across the Sahara. But if inferior in such points to those first of modern travels, the " Steam Expedition up the Niger" may be placed el‘ saly next them, while it ranks above them in largeness of view and importance of suggestion. In literary merit, it equals, if it does not surpass, those productions.—Spectator. On Sunday night the church of Burton Joyce was broken into, and the black cloth hangings put up as mourning for the late King were stolen from the place.—Nottinghant Review. Dr. Heurteloup having been invited by the Emperor of Russia to visit St. Pet ersburgh arrived there in May last, and proceeded to give public demonstrations of the lithotriptic ppar,tion on cases of stone which bad been collected in the hospital for the purpose of illustration, and the Russian sur geons were thus instrocted in the several stages of the process. in the middle of June Pr. 4.

This being the second day of our contest here, and the polling being of course very slack, I embrace the opportu nity afforded to me to communicate, as soon as I can, the resta:t of yesterday's proceedings, both here and in the other districts of this division of the county. _ _ ith respect to Plymouth, as the results of yesterday's poll diEr considerably, according to the list published by our Committee. and the general list put forth this morn ing by our opponents, I shall give both, leaving you to form your own judgment as to which merits most confidence : Plymouth, on Friday, by Mr. Bulteel's Committee— Majority of Bulteel over Parker. 11 o'Clock 1 , 2 • 154 3 "' 143 4 Our accounts from the Ta%istock District at noon yes 4rday, received by Express, gave the state of the poll for ,hat hour as follows : Bulteel Buller BB Parker 75 A communication has just been mule that Mr. Bulteel has resigned ; but not being made in an official form, no no tice can be taken of it—nor indeed c:lts::the poll be closed before the legal time, without the co 14it of all the can dilates. Until the Vote by Ballot beciMles the law of the land, or some other effectual means be devised by the Legislature for counteracting the effects of intimidation and corruption, our elections will still continue, as hitherto, to represent the strength of a faction, and not the deliberate voice of the nation. The same disgraceful scenes which marked the contest of 1835, have been again exhibited, and the clergy have, as then, displayed the character of political fire brands, rather than Ministers of the Gospel of Peace. How far such conduct contributes to the security of the Established Church, or the advancement of piety, time, the great revealer of secrets, will tell. From the result of the contest in this county, as well as from what I have been able to collect from the reports of other contests, I feel assured that, under the existing state of the law, the Reform interest must continue to lose ground, unless an uniform system of securing the purity of the electoral lists, be adopted. In this county the registration has, with perhaps the ex ception of this town and Devonport, been shamefully neg lected by the Liberal party during the last two or three years,- and a fearful responsibility attaches to those who, knowing the state of the registration, advised Mr. Bulteel to risk a hopeless and expensive contest. GLAMORGAN ELECTION. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) SWANSEA, AuG. s.—The election for this county has just terminated, in the return of C. R. M. Talbot, Esq. and Lord Adare ; the latter a thick-and-thin Tory, and brought in by the united purse of that denomination in the county. But, thanks to the Reformers of Merthyr, the unsuccessful candidate, Mr. Guest, has again been trium phantly returned by them for that borough ; and if he had met with the same support at the different towns of Neath, Bridgend, Merthyr, and Cardiff, as be has here, he would have stood a chance of being placed at the head of the poll, as the two days polling at Swansea will inform you, namely :—Talbot (R) 860 ; Guest (R) 740 ; Lord Adare (T) 299 ; and as there are but 4,000 voters in the county, you will perceive Swansea contains about one-third of that number. I cannot give you the state of the poll at its close, but the majority cannot be much. Of the means employed to obtain it, I will give you further particulars ; but if one-tenth part be true, it will be a very fit sub ject to bring before the House of Commons. IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY, AUG. 5. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) DUBLIN CITY ELECTION. O'Connell and Hutton are declared duly elected by a majority of 170. CLOSE OF THE POLL, FIFTH AND LAST DAY, AT SIX C'CLOCK, (By mutual arrangement the poll was kept open till the above hour.) O'Connell 3,556 Hutton Hamilton West The struggle just terminated was one of the greatest in the history of Irish electioneering. Never did a party exert themselves more than the Tories did to obtain the representation of the metropolis on this important and cri tical occasion ; and nothing less than the most pure and disinterested patriotism could have prevented their suc cess. As I stated in a former letter, the number of elec tors on the Clerk of the Peace's list was about 11,400. The number canvassed by the friends of Reform was less than that polled—while that promised to the Tory side was less than they reckoned upon. The actual number entitled to vote does not perhaps at this moment exceed 9,ooo—many of whom are in the country. The Liberal cause has lost much more by the absence from town of the inhabitants at this season than the Tory cause, because the friends of the latter having been so much earlier in the field canvassing to ascertain their full strength, and wrote to the absentees in time to have as many of them as are staunch brought to town. Now, on the other hand, the Reformers, though full of ardour and honesty, and really energetic in sustaining themselves, did not act under such good organization as they might have done. Had they done so, the majority would have been considerably greater. The great difficulty was to urge the householders to pay their municipal taxes, the heaviest of which, and these es sential to the validity of their franchise, being payable in advance. All the enemy's hopes were founded on the ex pected default on the part of the poor householders, who have however nobly discharged their duty. it is said that the different Committees of West and Hamilton were up all last night devising means of gaining over or neutralizing many of the poor persons who had not been polled yester day evening. And when every effort failed, they brought in the freemen created during their canvass within the last six months hoping to pass them as qualified electors. The assessor, however, an honest man, though of Conservative politics, decided against such an assumption of privilege, by declaring that he would not admit any voters whose names had not been on the clerk of the peace's list six months before the teste of the writ, which was on the 26th ultimo. This decision set the fiction almost frantic. and they endeavoured to get up a row to damage the return, but failed in this also. From other parts of Ireland the news is most cheering. No doubt exists of Mr. Gibson's being returned for Belfast, and most persons think that Lord Belfast the other Refor mer will also get in. I have not, however, yet heard of the result of that election. The success of the Reformers in the metropolis will have a salutary effect in the country, and the Conservatives can never again attempt to misrepresent this city. The Liberals are -so alarmed at the smallness of the present majority, that they have resolved to attend to the regi*tries in future, and co-operate better among themselves fur the public good. Had many of the Tories not proved recreant to their own cause—it is their first offence in this way, and joined in the enthusiasm of their countrymen for old Ireland and liberty, we must have been beaten—victory will be as permanent as it is decisive. There are no bad votes on our side, but a great many on the side of the Hanoverians, who will not therefore trouble the Legislature with another interminable scrutiny. COLLEGE ELECTION. This election closed yesterday. The Gross Poll is as follows : Shaw Lefroy Stock Majority for Shaw over Stock 666 Majority for Lefroy over Stock On Friday last, during the time the poll was taking at our election, two patriarchs, James Parham, aged 102, and John Crackles, aged 99 years, tendered their votes and an swered all the questions put by the polling-clerk as readily as young men.—Doncaster Gazelle. HOM(EOPATIIY.—AS similiec similibus is the c orner-stone of Hahnemannism, and, as I read in Dr. Bigel that " corns are the produce of tight shoes," I expected to find, further on in his book, that the cure of them consisted in a pply ing a millionth or a billionth part of the pressure of a shoe to those excrescences. " For," says Hahnemann, the apostle of the sect, " if, being in perfect health, I take a cer. tain quantity of bark, I am sure to produce the symptoms of intermittent fever —ergo, when I suffer from intermittent fever, I take bark to cure it :"--(a pretty logic this truly 1) Such is, un questionably, Hahnemann's reasoning. But no such princi ple, it seems, is good for corns, and Dr. Bigel, to my great surprise, is compelled to recommend patients to begin their treatment by discarding the tight shoes at once.—Dr. Gran. villa's Spas of Germany. CIIA RITY.—At public dinners for the benefit of charitable institutions every one must have observed that the applause which follows the announcement of a donation is nicely proportioned to its amount. Thus: " Mr. White, one guinea 1" is acknowledged by a scarcely audible tap on the table by the tip of the fore finger. " Mr. Brown, one guinea !" the same. " Mr. Green, five guineas !" (announced with a marked emphasis on the " five") and there is a clat tering of spoons and knife-handles. But for " Alderman Phigs, TEN guineas,l" fists are brought into requisition, and the tables are thumped till the enraptured glasses and decan ters skip and dance about in very ecstacy. " Mr. Black, one pound!" comes as a charm, like oil thrown upon the troubled waters, and suddenly the enthusiastic clamour subsides into gcpt!e t!ipping of the fore-finP w er. —New grit* . 11 14 a #P# pr 4ulust, STATE OF POLLS, AND NAMES OF MEMBERS RETURNED.

The contest for this county is over, and Lord Adare is re turned by a small majority over Mr. Guest, at the cost of some thousands from the already-exhausted pockets of the Hanove rian aristocrats of this high Tory county. Such another vic tory, and the woulsi-be great men are ruined past redemption, or rather that great majority of them who aro expectants on the accession to office of Sir R. Peel and Co. Alas t poor creatures, they knocetot what they have done. They have opened the eyes of hundreds in this county, who before this contest could not see the necessity for the ballot. The tenants of the Marquis of Bute, Lord Dynevor, the Honourable Mr. Clive, Sir Charles Morgan, and others of that clique, were driven like cattle to the poling-booths ; and so marked was the mortification these poor creatures endured, that not one solitary cheer could be extorted from them. It was the sullen expression of silence at the degradation imposed on them. A still greater proof of the knowledge they felt of their situation, was exhibited in the perfect good humour with which they received the gibes and taunts of the unrepresented part of the community. They seemed to enjoy the sarcasms that were, through them, showered upon their tyrannic landlcrds. And why was this baby lordling brought forward to oppose Mr. Guest ? Be cause the poverty-stricken aristocrats feel, acutely feel, the high superiority of well apFlied industry over idle profligacy; they envy the immense wealth gained by active exertion in promoting the commercial interests of this great commercial empire, and dread the effocts of that spirit of knowledge and independence which successful enterprise in trade must inevi tably accomplish.

On our return from the course we gave particulars of most of the races, and have only to add a short description of the Cup running : After one false start Carew went away at a capital pace, followed by one or two others; little alteration took place till they made the turn round the clump, where the lot behind Carew closed, but without any change in their rela tive positions. Carew considerably increased his lead in going round the upper side of the clump, Jack-in- the-Green and Grisette lying up, and so they ran into the straight course ; here the Unknown dropt off, and the Grisette colt and Horn sea joined Jack-in-the-Green. At the distance Caravan, Slane, Cleopatra, the Carpenter, and Barbiche were beaten, Hornsea and The Unknown cut it before they reached the stand, and Jack-in-the-Green after. Carew was still leading, and although pressed rather closely by the young ono, won by a length, but not without spurring. Jack-i n -th e -G reen was about four lengths behind the second, and Hornsea as far astern, of him, with The Unknown at his side; to these, at long in tervals succeeded the Carpenter and Barbiche, then Slane and Caravan, and lastly, Cleopatra. We omitted to state yester day that Lord Chesterfield declared to win with Hornsea. The Grisette colt, we are informed, will go for the St. Leger. The closing odds against the two favourites were 2 to 1 a gst Hornsea, and 5 to 2 agst Caravan. SATIT RD AT. Sweepstakes of 5 sous. each, with 25 added. One mile ; starting on the C.C. 5 Subs.

Y. C. post, Zobrab went in front, the Drum mer and Famine lying up, and Slane behind till half-way LIP the distance, when Slane took up the work, Zobrab being second, and next to him the Drummer, Valentissimo, Lucifer , Adrian, and Luck's All ; Slane kept in front to the end, ana won cleverly by a length ' • the Drumm er was a b a d t hird ; Luck's All, Valentissimo, Lucifer, Famine, and Adrian suc ceeded ; next to them came a ruck ; and lastly Chapeau , Catharina, Skilleygolee, and Rush's two, all beaten off; the tailing commenced early, and was tremendous at the finish. The pace was capital, the distance being done in about sit minutes and forty-nine seconds. The interest excited in all parts of the kingdom by this truly magnificent prize was almost• without precedent ; forty horse° accepted for it, and as the stake to be deposited was limited to a sum which made it open to all classes, all that could run sr peared at the post, several of them becoming entitled to al allowance of Sibs. for having been beaten for the Goodwoo d Stakes or Cup. In conclusion, we have the concurrent testi mony of every experienced turfite present that thi s s meeting in all its features, has substantiated the assertions with whiot we introduced it on Wednesday last, and that it has proved tlit' most brilliant ever known in the kingdom-we say this without the slightest reservation. The Shield itself would have esta blished its supremacy with racing men, but when the other Va . ' luable and important prizes are added to it, no one will dispute the propriety of our publicly thanking the Stewards for their liberal and unceasing exertions in promoting th e amusemen ts o f the visitors and the general character of the meeting, nor in adding that those Stewards were the Earl of Albemarle, Loll G.
