MUSIC, Fentum, London, 1837. . _ We haze just seen three songs, entitled, " Our Queen of the Isles," " God Save the Queen," and " May the Young Queen be Happy." The music of each is simple and pleasing in its character. We quote the words of the last song, as they are better than the average run of such things : May the young Queen be happy and calm her renown, While the sword in the scabbard reposes ; On the forehead of youth may the sovereign crown Press no more than a chaplet of roses. May the arts, as they did in Elizabeth's reign, Shed around intellectual glory ; And Victoria's annals be free from the stain Of the errors that darken'd her story. May the young Queen be happy, unsullied her court, And the love of her people her pride and support. May the young Queen be happy : should peace pass away Not a heart in her kingdom would falter; Her voice would call forth a triumphant array In defence of the throne and the altar. But laurels enough ready gathered we find, And no spark of right feeling he loses, Who prays that the olive may now be entwined With the ever-green wreath of the Muses. May tho young Queen be happy, unsullied her court ' And the love of it: - people her p r id e an d support. COURT CIRCULAR.

The shooting at the Red House Tavern yesterday exceeded any match of the sort which has been witnessed for many "tbs. It had been got up by a gentleman who was deter- I bined to try the merits of pigeon shots at a long distance ; 4 ° ,1 , in order to make the contest one in which they should be oPposed to field sportsmen, it was made open to all England, With the exception of those who refused to pay the entrance. Which was absolutely necessary to keep the thing select. A great deal had been said about the patent cartridge of Ely's, and in making the match it was stipulated that nine of the birds should be shot at with two ounces of loose shot, and the l'elnaining nine with the cartridge. We detailed the first day's Shooting. The following is the total score:_ Ist Day. 2d Day. Total. Mr. Bloodsworth Mr. Toby Mr. Juno Mr. Potter Mr. Thorpe Mr. Groom The betting had been from the conclusion of the first day's shooting in favour of Bl oo d swort h. Hi s mer i t was well known ; but the cartridge diverted the odds to some extent. At the distance of yesterday's shooting, thirty-five yards rise, the cartridge was eminently superior. The Marquis of Ailesbury left town yesterday for Cowes, where the Noble Marquis will sojourn for a few days, Previous to his departure for a Continental tour. Th e Marquis of Anglesey is gone to Lisbon.

Chronicle Office, Chester, July 26, 1837. SlR,—From my communication of yesterday you would doubtless anticipate the tr:tunpli of our old liberal candi dates. The following was the state of the poll at its close last night. Lord Robert Grosvenor (Reformer) 1,282, and Mr. Jervis (Reformer) 1,109. The Tory candidate, the Hon. F. Rider, only obtained 332 votes. The successful candidates were chaired after the Sheriff's declaration, which took p'ace at five o'clock. Our County Members will be as before. ( Another Account.) Slit—l cannot resist the opportunity of informing you of th e result of our election—yes, one that ought to be an ex ample to the Reformers of the United Kingdom. Grosvenor (Reformer) Jervis (Ditto) ... 1,106 Ryder (Tory) 351 I So much for a Cathedral City and the Parsons! Mr. Devonport (Reformer) returned for Warrington I NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE—him' 25. We have just concluded a most animated contest, and placed Mr. Ord triumphantly at the head of the poll. Until the day of the nomination, we expected that the old Members, Mr. Ord and Mr. Hodgson Hind, would be re turned without. opposition, although Mr. Hodgson Hind had issued an insolent address to his constituents, threaten ing to bring forward another Tory candidate, if he should be opposed. In the meantime, a Dr. Beaumont, an Ultra Radical, appears in the field, to agitate the Poor-law ques tion ; and although he had no support from the Liberal party, which Mr. Ord represents, Mr. H. Hind made the appearance of this candidate a pretext for bringing forward Captain Coulson, a professed Tory, as his associate. Upon this, Dr. Headlam proposed Mr. C. J. Bigge on the spur of the moment, who immediately undertook to fight the battle, in conjunction with Mr. Ord—who was unavoidably absent, on account of the illness . of his son. The spirit of the Liberal party was. roused, and the utmost indignation was felt against this attempt at dictation on the part of Mr. H. Hind ; and if the struggle had been commenced a few hours sooner, Mr. Bigge would certainly have been returned with Mr. Ord. It may be mentioned that Mr. H. Hind owes the power upon which he has presumed so much to the support of a body of old freemen, amongst whom he has spent large sums of money in his different contests ; but, thanks to this struggle, the Liberal party know their power, the Radicals have felt their weakness, and the Tories have been foiled in their deep-laid scheme to monopolise the re presentation of the town. HAVERFORDWEST, JULY 25. CLOSE OP THE POLL. Sir R. B. P. Philipps (Liberal) 247 W. H. Samfield (Tory) Giving a majority of 82 in favour of Sir Richard Philipps, the declared supporter of the Queen and her Liberal Go vernment. The struggle has been a desperate one ; the Tory party exerted themselves prodigiously, and no effort or expense was spared to try to burden the town with their pet candidate ; but, honour be to the middle classes of the town, they have succeeded in proving to the High Church party, that Haverfordwest shall not be represented again by a man whose principal supporters are members of the noto rious Carlton Club. The Liberal gain here will be two votes, the Tory party losing one, which they will never recover. The late Members are returned again, and the poll stands as follows : Lord Seymour Mr. Parrott Sir Geo. Adams The conduct of the Tories has been disgraceful in the extreme ; but they now know that they can do nothing in this . borough. You shall hear more about it. KENDAL, JULY 25. The election took place this day, when George William Wood, Esq. was returned without opposition. By extraordinary efforts on the part of the Tories, and under cover of the influence of the Bristol family, Earl Jermyn has succeeded in obtaining a majority of two over Mr. I3unbury. The two old Members will therefore be returned, but whether Lord Jermyn will be allowed to re main in undisputed possession of his seat is doubtful. At all events, his Tory days as Member for Bury are num bered. It is true he has polled two more votes than his opponent, but he cannot fail to be aware that a majority of his constituents are opposed on principle to his anti-reform ing policy, and unless, therefore, his votes in Parliament should in future he more in harmony with the popular feel ing in Bury than they have hitherto been, he must be pre pared to take leave of the representation of the town at the next election, come when it may. It seems the Habeas Corpus Act was suspended here as well as at Norwich on the eve of the election. Lord Jermyn was interrupted during his speech by a person who inquired of him after a voter who was missing. The loyal and constitutional cause is likely to be well supported at the West Suffolk election. Sir Henry Bunbury's seat is safe, and there ought not to be, and it is hoped there is not, the shadow of a doubt of Mr. Wilson's return. He headed the poll at the last election ; he has firmly supported the principles on which he was sent to Parliament ; and he has completely identified himself with the agricultural interest. Unless, therefore, the yeo manry of West Suffolk should be the most vacillating of men, Bunbury and Wilson will be returned by a large ma jority. 11114, LONDON, TfitillSDA Y, JULY 27, 1837 STATE OF POLLS, AND NAMES OF MEMBERS RETURNED.

This has been the severest struggle ever known at Wigan. At the final close of the poll the numbers were for— Richard Potter, Esq., merchant, of Manchester 245 Charles Standish, Esq., of Standish Hall 248 John Hodson Rearsley, Esq. Peter Grecnall, Esq COWES, Fiv s O'CLOCK. I have only time to say the Reformer has triumphed fcr ,he borough of Newport. Bribery has failed. Hawkins Blake 262 _ _ _ _ Martin (Tory) Hamilton (Tory) 235 BARNSTAPLE. The cause of Reform has triumphed gloriously. Our election came on to-day (Tuesday), and the result has placed Mr. Chichester (our Liberal Member) at the head of the poll, and has giv e n hi m M r . Frederick Hodgson (Tory) for his colleague, in lieu of Major Fancourt. The other Tory candidate, Mr. W. S. Best (son of Lord Wyn ford), is sent back again to that retirement which his prin ciples best fit him to occupy. It is said that, after all, the Hon. N. Fellowes intends to stand for the Northern Division of Devon. Devonport Independent Office, July 24. I am_ happy to inform you that the Tories have been defeated. At ASHBURTON Mr. Lushington is returned. At ToTNEs Lord Seymour and Mr. Parrott are re turned. The Tory, Sir George Adams was far behind. At LISKEARD the contest was severe. Mr. Kekewich, a Tory, has large property here, and every effort was made against Mr. Charles Buller. This was indeed a triumph of principle. Mr. Buller had a majority of 18. A great many kept back and would have voted for Mr. Buller had his election been in danger. As it was done without them they escaped the coercion of the Tories ; but this accounts for so small a majority compared with the last election. DEVONPORT.—Sir George Grey and Sir E. Codrington addressed the electors this evening. It was really an ex hilerating spectacle. From 1,200 to 1,500 persons as sembled in our Town Hall unanimous in opinion as to the liberal cause. To-morrow they will be re-elected without opposition. Putmount.—To-morrow is the day of nomination. The Liberal have no doubt of returning Collier and Bewes. The struggle will be great against the Tory candidates, Sir James Cockburn l and :the ; Hon. Captain Black wood, K. N., supported by the old Corporation. EAST CORNWALL.—The nomination is fixed for Satur day the 4th of August. Sir Hussey Vivian and Sir W. Trelawney against the Chairman of the Westminster Conservative Club, Lord Eliot. It will be a hard struggle, but everything looks well fur the Liberals. BURY. Walker .. Spankie.. Cobbett . 442 87 96 CAMBRIDGE— WEDNESDAY The electors of this town have nobly done . their duty. The old Members are triumphantly returned, and all the talk of re-action and certain and easy victory on the part of their opponents have proved mere idle boasting. The unsuccessful candidate s issued an address on Saturday, in which they mentioned their having the support of a ma jority of the electors, and o f h av i ng obtained promises from many of the minority not to vote aga i nst them. It seems they reckoned without their host, but lawyers, like poets, are allowed to be fabulous at times. C ons i dering the pe culiar circumstances under which the elective franchise is exercised at Cambridge, there is not a constituency in the kingdom to whom greater credit is due tnr their unflinching adherence to sound political and moral principles. The Cm/bridge C'hronieL will probably be ir. double mourning this week. STATE OF THE POLL. One o'Clock. Ilalf-past. Two.

Official state of the poll at twelve o'clock Brotherton Garnett Majority Mr. I3rotherton's election is placed beyond a dank there being very few electors who have not polled. BOSTON, JULY 26. Poor-law agitation has been practised here, by three candidates nut of four, to a shameful extent ; and to this may be attributed in a gre a t measure t h e d e f eat of Major Handley. Mr. BrownriLt-g, the Conservative, declared from the hustings that the law was barbarous and inhuman. Sir James Duke, the BadicalMernber, on his canvass pledged himself to do his utmost to have it repealed, and bore on one of his flags " Duke, the friend of the poor." The third, a young man who had never the most remote" chance of being elected, came out as a High Tory, High Churchman, and anti-Poor-law man. Not one word was allowed to be heard from Major Handley at the hustings, although ques tions upon the Poor-law, attacking bins for having voted for it in Parliament, and having been active in the admi nistration as Chairman of the Bourne Union, were put out on that morning. Thus it is that gentlemen are deterred from assisting in executing a law which has operated so beneficially upon all classes, and in all places where it has been fairly tried and well administered. STATE OF THE POLL : Brownrigg 459 Duke Handley . • Collett NORTH WILTS. The o"d apostate to Liberal principles, Sir Francis Burdett, made his first appearance amongst us as a candidate to represent this division of the county to-day. He arrived at New-park, the residence of Z. H. S. B. Estcourt, the Tory Member for our borough last evening, front:the shades of which Tory bower be emerged this day about two o'clock, accompanied in his carriage by Mr. Estcourt and two other gentlemen, and escorted by a retinue of sixteen horsemen, consisiing of the butcher, baker, blacksmith, and few hangers-on of this old Tory mansion. On their arrival at the Bear Inn (this being the Agricultural Show day), about 100 persons were assembled to rceeive him, and did raise a shout simi'ar to what we were accustomed to hear some years ago, on the sth of November, from children assembled round a figure of Guy Fawkes. The poor old man, with his two wooden supporters (not the two Tory Members for Chippenham and Devizes), contrived to hobble into the house amidst the jeers of many who surrounded him. We could not help view ing this poor old imbecile with some degree of pity, as it brought to our recollection the last time we saw him in this town, . which was to atten a meeting held here in the year 1820, when he then, in all his manly vigour, appeared as the advocate and supporter of the rights of an injured Queen, and in di rect opposition to Mr. Estcourt, the Hon. Member for Oxford University, who, now Sir Francis has turned his coat, is become one of his principal supporters, and by whose son he is now introduced to the electors of North Wilts. " How arc the mighty fallen." Look at this poor old man in his second childhood, fallen into the arms of these. bigotted Tories, who now adopt him as their favourite bantling. Devizes, July 26, 1837. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sllt i —The City Tories—call them Hanoverians if you please—bear their late defeat with the malignancy and ill humour which ever characterise that faction. Amongst the many other equally unfounded fabrications, they have industriously reported that I voted twice—as a Liveryman and as a householder—fur the four successful candidates. This Tory lie, I presume, is promulgated for the purpose of justifying their threale):ed petition to the House of Com mons against the return of Mr. Grote, and to swell the amount of subscription for supporting it. I need scarcely say, that like every other independent elector, I voted but once. EFFINGHAM WILSON. Royal Exchange, July 27, 1837. BRIBERY AT BRIDGWATER. The following communi cation appeared yesterday in a r C i ' d ° g ui w .j a c t i e . r, July 2 6 , 1837. Second Edition G of eo tt r i g e e T auntonl H otel , t e l Sir,—l hasten to inform you that the same may be made as public as possible, that at this place yesterday occurred the most scandalous, the most gross and illegal conduct that has been hitherto exhibited by the Tories and Conservatives of this Borough, and by which the elective franchise of the majority of the electors has been fraudulently destroyed. I am, Sr, one of the candidates : a requisition having been sent to me at my residence, twelve miles distant, early in the morning of yest e rd a y th e 25th i ns t., an d which was signed in an hour and a half the precedi ng even i ng by 208 of the most independent and influ e nti a l o f th e e l ectors (the gross number of wh o m b e i ng a b ou t 500), b y w hi c h requisi t:on I was desired to join Mr. Ri c ha r d B r i ns l ey Sheri _ dan, of Primp:on Hou se , D orse t, i n or d er t• give the 1 beral electors a chance of meeting their opponents upon fAir and open terms. Mr. Sheridan had before been a candidate, and would have been returned at the last elec tion had not the same outrageous conduct of the Tories prevented it, the circumstances relating to which would Lye been all completely laid bare and exposed had the sit ting Member, Mr. Broadwood, dared to defend his seat against the petition to the late House of Com mons f rom certain electors, and had no t t he demise of the Crown put an end to the Parliament. I obeyed the requisition, and early yesterday morning met my talented young friend Mr. Sheridan on the bust where, after a severe struggle in a broiling sun, we suc ceeded in spite of an hired and ruffian mob (who were for the most part not electors), in obtaining a preponderating show of hands in our favour, and such a number of pure and independent promises as gave us a certain prospect of our return at, the poll this morning. After visiting our com mittee, and making the necessary arrangements for the Poll, several of our agents at twelve o'clock at night ar. rived and informed us that our opponents, Mr. Broadwood and Mr. Courtney, with their principal leaders, Mr. Ruscombe Poole, Mr. John Trevor, and five or six other attornies of the town, had got together at the Clarence Hotel, shut up in an apartment there about 100 of the lower class of the electors, with a promise to each that if they remained there the night and polled in the morfiing for their Candidates, Messrs. Broadwood and Courtney, they should each receive from 10 to 20 sovereigns a man. By this course of proceeding, Mr. Sheridan and myself immediately perceived that our election was lost, unless indeed we had chosen to imitate a conduct so unworthy and illegal, and the only .course left for us was to quit this scene of depravity and fraud, and leave the borough to its fate, and in the hands of men who had again re sorted to means so disgraceful and unjust. The Tories and Conservatives will for the present there fore succeed here, and every Liberal elector be deprived of his elective franchise by a junta• of persons of the most abandoned political principles—the " elite" of the Tory and Conservative school in this borough. But, Sir, I trust that the House of Commons when they assemble, where the whole of this abominable conduct shall be exposed, will deal with the perpetrators of it in a manner suitable to their crimes, by disfranchisement or otherwise as to their wisdom shall seem meet. In the meantime I have shown you how it is that the Tory and Conservative cause is supported—how it is that the people of England are to be deprived of their liberties by persons who assume to themselves the exclusive merit of supporting what they please to call the wisdom of their forefathers, and as being the only true defenders of the faith in Church and State. Mr. Sheridan and myself, after publishing a short decla ration of what had happened, resolved on returning to our homes. I am, Sir, your faithful and obedient servant, T. BUCKLER LETHBRIDGE. To avoid the payment of a tax, the owner of a dog, at Ilkeston determined upon drowning him in an old pit, forty nine yards deep, and nearly five feet deep in water, About 17 days after a miner descended the pit with a lighted candle, in order to ascertain the state of the works, with a view to re commence coal-setting, when h e p erce i ved something move in as i i i de ox o a f ro itohiengslitahfe place, di scovered the dog t, which h e suspected to b e a reptile, on the re ducedobut, to a mere skeleton, and half b ur i e d in the loose soil. hole The poor animal was extricated from Lis perilous abode, and he home.—Derby shire lives the welcome inmate of hi s former hoe.—Derby shire tburier.

On Monday morning all parties were stirring from an early hour. Shortly before eleven o'clock Mr. Potter and his friends proceeded from their inn to the Moot Hall. Mr. Potter and Mr. Standish entered the Moot Hall about five minutes before eleven o'clock, loudly cheered by the people outside and inside the building. Mr. Standish took his station immediately to the left of the Mayor. Imme diately afterwards Mr. Peter Greenall entered, accompaneid by Mr. Gaskell, amidst a volley of hootings and hisses ; and was speedily followed by Mr. Kearsley and his friends. HENRY GASKELL, Esq., proposed Mr. Kearsley. Mr. JOHN THOMPSON briefly seconded the nomination. J. S. HERON, Esq., nominated Mr. Potter. RALPH THICKNESSE, jun., Esq., seconded the nomina tion of Mr. Potter. R. TEIICKNE;;3B, Esq., of Beech-hill, with confidence proposed Charles Standish, Ecq. Mr. JOHN LORD proposed Peter Greenall, Esq., as a fit person to represent Wigan in Parliament.—(Groans.) Mr. E. KEARSLEY seconded the nomination. J. Honsos KEARSLIa, Esq., said he would leave them to judge by his past, what his future conduct would be ; and he trusted to receive the same generous support he had ex perienced on former occasions. R. POTTER, Esq., then came forward, and addressed the electors, being received by almost every one present with loud cheers. While he gave credit to the present Ministry, he did not mean to say that he was quite satisfied with them. More ought to have been done. They ought to have given us the Ballot, which was essential to the free exercise of the franchise —essential to protect the voter from the undue influence of wealth on the one hand, and of physical force on the other.—(Cheers.) He rejoiced to think that, in the last discussion the Reformers had upon the Corn-laws, several Cabinet Ministers joined them in en deavouring to get them altered, and he believed the period was fast approaching when the enormous tax would at least be lessened ; for, as compared with the bread-tax, all other taxes he thought comparatively unim portant. The Corn-laws operated most seriously to ad vance the price of food, and to affect our trade ; for, by re fusing to admit those articles which other nations were ready to supply to us, we had compelled them to become manufacturers. He was an advocate for free trade in its fullest extent. Much had been done ; but how much more might have been done, if it had not been for a hostile House of Peers! In fact, nothing could be done for these Ob structives, as he would call them. If Ireland were tran quillized by being put upon an equal footing with England and Scotland, we might reduce the taxes which went to support in that country a large constabulary force, and a standing army, by two millions per annum. As to the Poor law Amendment Bill he would not hesitate to say that he voted for its being read a second time fi mu a conviction that the greatest abuses existed under the old system in the agricultural districts, under that principle which went to make every man a pauper. Since then he had visited a con siderable part of Sussex, which had been considerably op pressed ; lie had conversed with people of all classes, and all agreed in declaring that a vast improvement bad taken place. He was ready to concede that the Bill was not likely to be so beneficial to the manufacturing districts, be cause in them there were not the same abuses, Be! Le had opposed (and he referred them to the votes) all the harsh clauses of the Bill, particularly the bastardy clauses, C. STANDISH, Esq., next addressed the electors. Ti occurrences since the last and during the present election, so far from altering the opinions which, on a former oc casion, he had expressed concerning the ballot, had only • more deeply confirmed him in the view which he had they taken.--(Cheers.) He was convinced that the ballot would immediately do away with those disgusting scenes and those pitiable feelings which were now the bane of all elections, and that the measure would ere long operate a change most favourable to the morality of the people, and to the independence of the electors..—(Cheers.) He was decidedly opposed to tllo present monopoly in earn— (Cheers)—because by rendering bread dear, it paralysed our commerce, restricted our trade, and was oppressive to the people.—(Clicers.) The much calumniated poor-law he believed to be a wise and beneficial measure. As to what regarded religion and the state, had a seat in Parlia ment, lie should pin his faith to the present pre-eminently Protestant Ministry, and should invariably vote with them upon every Church question, confident that under their orthodoxy he should best uphold the national establish ment. We had a Queen and her Ministry ready to pro mote all Constitutional reforms, and devoted to the cause of the people. It now depended upon the people alone to support that Queen and that Ministry, or to abandon them again into the hands of the friends, the supporters and the accomplices of the King of Hanover.—(Cheers.) On Mr. PETER GREENALL conning forward, Mr. THOMAS CooKE said, he thought it right to ask him a few questions before he addressed the el ec t ors , i n or d er to give him an op portunity of answering them in his speech. His first ques tion was, would Mr.Greenall vote for the abolition of Church rates ? 2d. Would he vote for an alteration of the Corn laws ? 2d. Was he an advocate of the Vote by Ballot ? 4th. Would he vote for Triennial Parliaments ? and .sth. Was he not a Member of an Orange Association ?—(Loud cheers, aid a cry of " Aye, that's it.") Mr. GREENALL then said, that with respect to the ques tions put to him, whenever those questions came before him in Parliament—(" They never will")—they should have his best attention, and he should vote accordingly.—(Groans, laughter, and a cry of " Answer them now.") The MAvoa then took the show of hands, and the Court adjourned about two o'clock. BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS BnussEts, JULY 25.—The Danish Government have contracted a loan with the house of Rothschild : it is said to be for the sum of 25,000,000 of rix dollars. Letters from Poland say that the Poles have great hopes from the approaching visit of the Emperor of Russia to Warsaw. They expect that the kingdom of Poland will be re-constituted, under a Viceroy. It is believed that the Grand Duke Michael will be appointed to the same post as the Archduke Constantine. The Te hewn for the sixth anniversary of the King's inauguration was performed with much solemnity in all the chief towns of our provinces. JULY 24.—His Majesty the King arrived yesterday morning at ten o'clock. All Spaniards residing in Brussels, or in the provinces, either permanently or for a short time, are invited to appear from the 25th to the 31st of this month, between twelve and two o'clock, at the office of the Legation of her Ma jesty the Queen of Spain, to take the oath to the Consti tution which her Majesty has assented to, and caused to be promulgated by a Royal Decree of June 18. Those Spaniards who cannot appear to take the oath in person, are invited to send it in writing. The register will be closed on the 10th of next month. We regret to learn that on Saturday night part of the works of the line of Borgorwerts was destro ) ed by a high tide and the north-west wind. The damage is estimated at 60,000 francs. MUNICH, JULY 18.—We are glad to hear that the affairs of Greece had some share in the visit of Prince Met ternich, though he is fully convinced of the necessity of paying the third series of the Greek loan, and is ready to employ his powerful influence in support of the measure. HANOVER, JULY 15.—1 t is believed in this country Count Munster, who was very closely connected with the King while Duke of Cumberland, and engaged his confidence in an extraordinary degree, is likely to act an important part in the Administration, and will . perhaps be placed at the head of the Cabinet Ministry, which is to be newly or ganized at the return of the King from Carlesbad. Thi s conjecture i s su p por t e d b y t h e fact that Privy Councillor Van Schule, the newly appointed Minister, who signed the letters patent of the sth of July, participates in the opinion of Count Munster, &c., &c. The first Chamber of the Estates of Hanover was one of the principal opponents of many proposals of the late Government. The death of King William will probably have some influence on the celebration of the jubilee of the University of Gottingen ; it is most likely that either the Duke of Cambridge or the Duke of Sussex will be present. But it is believed that the present King will choose that time to make his first visit to Gottingen after his accession. The citizens are rather apprehensive that the new King, who is sup posed to have a great predilection for Prussian institutions, may be inclined to introduce the free exercise of mechani cal professions with licenses, by which the system of guild or corporate companies will receive a severe blow. _ - BRUNSWICK 15th JULY.—Great preparations are making For the reception of the King of Hanover, who is expected in a few days.

Under hand some and spacious marquees were arranged a magnificent col lection of exotic flowers, as well as numerous specimens of the more common but not less beautiful species which usually adorn horticultural exhibitions. The gardens looked enchant ing —Mount Vesuvius rose from the water's edge with an effect truly natural and deceptive—the reflection of the towers and battlements of Naples in the lake must be seen to be fully appreciated. The band of the Fusilcer Guards were stationed in the Chinese orchestra, and played several of the most po pular over t ures , waltzes, marches, &c. But what delighted us most was the groups of beautiful and fashionable w omen who were assembld on the grounds, variously occupied as their respective tastes dictated—promenading, studying zoo logy and horticulture, or contemplating their fair faces in the placid bosom of the lake. The tout ensemble really formed most enchanting coup d'ceil. Advices from Palermo of the 4th rout, state, that, although the cholera had only broken out a very few days pre viously in that city, the numb er o f v i ctims alr s ‘ .adv 1,500. One-fourth of the i n h a bi tants laud - -exceeded pearance of she epidemy, d cm the first op houses were clowi ...tie shops, stores, and coffee -consteon general. A C"...-.;:ittee appoint e d b y t h e people had taken was the direction of affairs, and resolved on appropriating 150,000 ounces found in the treasury to the relief of the poor. All vessels cdming front Naples htcl been denied admission into the port, which, after a great struggle, Lord Althorp was induced to alter;` but when the Bill went to the Lords the Duke of Wel lington, Lord Wharncliffc, and others, renewed those clauses and because they were rcnewed,he (Mr. Pot ter)voted against the third reading of the Bill.—(Cheers.) A Committed appointed in the last session to investizate the operation of the Bill had very.lately made a Report, recommending several alte ra ti ons , w hi c h wou ld do away with the oh noxious clauses. They recommended that persons with large families, and widow.., should receive relief as usual ; and he had no doubt, w h en th e new P ar li ament met, they would be ready to make any alterations that should be thought necessary. He had voted for that Committee, and he believed they had fully and fairly investigated the case.—(Hear, hear.) In the present important crisis much remained to be done ; and a general system of education was much needed. One had already been established in Ireland ; which had bean most strenuously opposed by the Tories because it let in Catholics, the great majority of the people of that eountq, while the old system was ek- elusively testfittbd tti Pftite6tatitt. He hoped that an equally unexceptionable system would be established in England ; and then he was sure immense benefit would be produced. IRELAND. COUNTY KILKENNY.--Mr. Tighe, of Woodstock, will be put into nominction fur the county of Kilkenny, Mr. Ponsonby having declined the invitation made to him by the electors, Mr. Ponsonby having previously addressed the people of Derby. Of Mr. Tighe's success no one en tertains a doubt. COUNTY KILDARE.--A Tory candidate has been found for Kildare, it seems. The Hon. Robert Bourke, a con nection of Lord Mayo, has put. forward his address. So much for the practices of Mr. Ruthven. COUNTY LouTll.—The county of Louth Orangemen have given up the ghost. They have declared, in a public address, that they will not disturb the county, on account of the unavoidabl e absence, as the plays say, of one Mr. Skef fington Foster. DROGHEDA.—W e have heard it stated that a gentleman of moderate but independent principles will contest the re presentation, if called upon by a sufficient number of the electors. KING'S COUNTY. --Ther e now is a requisition, calling a meeting of the county,. for Wednesday next, at Purcell's Hotel, at Tullamore. It will be both numerously and res pectably attended, and, what is more galling to the faction is—that it will assemble to resolve—" that the public ser vices of the Hon. J. C. Westenra and Nicholas Fitzsimon, Esq.-, command the entire and unabated coelidence of the county, and to pledge itself to use every c , . , nStitutional effort to return them to Parliament at the next election." COUNTY TIPPERARY.—" The murder is out"—the Ha noverians of our county have put forth their manifestos— and we are, forsooth, to have a contest. Be it so. Ou their heads be the consequences. CLowstEr..—lf zeal, talents, and assiduity, can secure the suffrages of the men of Clonmel, Mr. Ball will be re turned. Lady Donoughmore has not yet quite made up her mind of putting one of the Hutchinsons up for Clonmel. It is said, indeed, that the gentleman does not choose to be put down as an Orangeman. COUNTY KERRY.—The following is an extract of a let ter from Tralee :—" To come to politics : there is a county meeting called for Monday, to determine which of the Li beral candidates is to be supported, in conjunction with Mr. M. J. O'Connell, against Mr. Blennerhassett, who, I need scarce tell you, has not the slightest chance, though be will put the county to the annoyance and expense of a contest. There is no doubt that perfect unanimity will characterise the proceedings of Monday, and the Tories rill get a greater drubbing than they get before, when they had the Government to support them. COUNTY WATERFORD.--Mr. Stuart and Mr. Power mill be returned without opposition. COUNTY GALWAY.—PeopIe must still be talking, There are rumours still, an d not hi ng b ut rumours on the; affairs of the Galway electi on . TOWN or GALWAY.—The town of Galway Is threatened. We cast our eyes over another part of the Galway paper, in which we find that Dennis Daly has announced himself. BOROUGH OF AIIMAGII.-On Thursday evening a most respectable and numerous meeting of Mr. Curry's friends was held in the large ball-room attached to the Royal Hotel. The electors were addressed at great length, and with the most thrilling enthusiasm,. by Counsellors Hanna, M'Don nell, Nelson, and Porter, and by Mr. Curry himself. The speeches were responded to in the same spirit.—Newey Examiner. BELFAST.—Every day strengthen s the opinion we ven tured to publish at a very early period, that Belfast will be emancipated•from the foul disgrace of being represented by the renegade Emerson Tennent, and the Orangeman Dun bar. The Queen's letter to the Earl of Mulgrave will work miracles in Belfast, as well as elsewhere. We have learned, with much pleasure, that Lord Belfast has arrived, and is to meet the electors, and repel the odious calumnies of the Orange faction, this day. CITY or LIMERICK.—The following is from an Orange Paper published in Limerick : " Mr. Wm. Monsell and Dr. David Roche have been can vassing the electors of this city, the former accompanied part of Thursday by his mother-in-law, the Countess of Dunraven. The hopes of their respective friends are sanguine in the re sult. Mr. Wm. Roche arrived last night from London, and this day commenced his canvass of the city electors." —Lime rick Chronicle. COUNTY CORK.—The Orangemen are proceeding to the most ridiculousif they were not, at the same time, the most wicked—extremities in the County Cork. CITY OF CORK.—It seems they have found a second Orange candidate in the person of Mr. Joseph Leycester, for the City of Cork. BOROUGH OF BANDON.—The sorry Sergeant will be certainlyilogged. There is not the remotest doubt of this. And we shall be amongst the foremost to congratulate him for his own accoant on the defeat. Mr. Cavendish, we can state almost authoritatively, has already secured a majority of the electors. The Independents of Bandon—th e com bined interests of the Devonshire and Cork families—right principles, straightforward dealing, and the Queen's name, are too strong for the faction. CARRICKFERGUS.—A Liberal candidate will positively start for this borough, and with every prospect of success. Mr. Rennie, son of Sir John Rennie, the celebrated engi neer, has started in opposition to Mr. Peter Kirk, the per petual and self-constituted Mayor of this borough, which, we have good reason for stating, will be emancipated from a position so extremely degrading to the electors. DOWNPATRICIC—Mr. David Stewart Ker, eldest son of Mr. Ker, made his appearance here on -Monday, and can vassed the electors of this borough on behalf of his father,. Both candidates are confident. A third candidate is talke.d of for this borough, to be started on Liberal principles. ELECTION LIES.—In the Mail of last night, there is trumped up a pretended conversation between, Captain Stewart, an officer in the Viceregal Household, and a cer tain shopkeeper, in which it is insinuated that, the gallant officer threatened the shopkeeper, on his refusing to vote for the Reform candidates. We say insinuated, because the scribe would not dare to put forward such au accusa tion in direct terms. Captain Stewart is, of course, abused for canvassing at all. Now, we can see no reason whatever, why a gentleman, because he happens to hold an office in the Household, should be debarred from the privilege en joyed by every other citizen, of canvassing any shopkeeper with whom he happens to deal, for his vote in favour of those principles which he himself entertains._ Dublin Even ing Post. LORD AIuLGRATE.—His E xce ll ency arrived yesterday at the Jetty in Kingstown, at three o'clock, and on his landing was loudly and enthusiastically cheered by an im mense concourse of persons, who were anxiously waiting his return. MR. O'CONNELL IN LIMERICKO—LIMERICY, SATUR DAY.—An important meeting hap, just taken place here, to secure the return of the Messrs. Roche. Mr. O'Connell attended. After the preliminary resolutions, declaratory of confidence in the late Members, Mr. O'Connell addressed the meeting. He alluded to the pretensions of Mr. Maun sell, the son-in-law of the Earl of Dunraven, as a candidate tor Limerick. Any one who votes for Maunsell will be supporting the despotism of the Hanoverian King ; he will sell his soul for a bribe to perdition, and the very devils in bell will laugh at his simplicity. The Learned Gent.lemen concluded by recommending, in the strongest terms, the Messrs. Roche for the city, and Fitzgibbon. and O'Brien for the county. The Learned Gentleman, r.frtr returning to Cruise's Hotel, left town shortly after far Gurtroc, on his way to Cork.—Correspondent of the Dublin Freeman's JOUrnal, The Observer of Sunday, July 30, will contain Engraved Sketches of the Nassau Balloon and Parachute at tached, with a sketch of the latter, in its fearful descent, and full particulars of this melancholy catastrophe.

DUBLIN, JULY 25. THE WRITS.—AII the writs for Ireland will be issued this day. The Queen's letter, appointing Mr. C. Vitz simon to the office of Clerk of the Hanaper, has ar rived, and Mr. Fitzsircon has been sworn in. THE ELECTIONS. CITY OF DUBLIN. —The faction are nuts—but it is 0 10 late—drawing in their horns to regard to Mr. Hatton. One charge (as we stated yesterday) against Mr. Hutton is, that he is a coach-maker I Well, now really, this i s marvellously clever topic to circulate amongst the Protqs. tent Operatives of Dublin. And only think of the exulted, the aristocratic quarter from which it has come. The ad dress of Mr Hutton is quite sufficient, and his excellent speech at the Tradee Union, reported elsewhere, is q u ite enough--if not to silmee, or to put his ealumnir.tor4 to shame--,to cover thcir cause with %tit mile ttn,t POntortlpt. TRIN try CoLung.—Wa has atithority to annouv e that the faction shall not reprbiNht the Collop withoo op. position. A candidate a the highest tharacter 'IP:, coma forward Hi contest it, and our next ildlication vial contain his addlsttt to the electors. COUNTY D UBLIN .— Tl.lere arc two Tory candidates spoken o f f or the o ":.'unty of Dublin. Captain Kemmia, late Member f . ".;r East Loo, has been prevailed upon to stand on. lie Orange principle ; anti Mr. Mciklam, son-in of Sir Harcourt Lees, is also willing to be a candidate for the county, and to pay 1,000 t., if 2,0001. additional be made up for the purposes of the election. Circulars . , it is added, have gone out to the friends to ascertain what sub scriptions they will give. .The principal man in this effort to defeat the objects of the Queen's Government is said to be Mr. Hamilton, the Duke of Leinstees law agent, assisted, we are told, by Mr. Kinchan, the Barrister, who, they say, hut we cannot believe it, is to act as Assessor. COUNTY WEXFORD.—There will be Ile contest in tLe county. TOWN OF WEXFORD.—There was some talk of a threat of an Orange candidate for the town of Wexford. It is all
