CARLISLE THURSDAY, AUG. 10.—The chairing of the Members for East Cumberland took place this days Major Aglionb ) and Mr. James were returned, and the following is the state of the Poll OROS! POLL-LAST DAT. Aglionby 2 James Graham .... ,124 ....... After the Under Sheriff made the announcement from the hosting!, the two Members elected addressed the elec tors at some length, and warmly congratulated them on the result of the election. Both of the candidates paid a high and deserved compliment to the Under Sheriff for the im partial manner in which he bad conducted the proceedings. The contest was a kean one, and never on any former occasion did we observe the multitude behave better, con sidering the strong excitement that prevailed. Their con duct was above all praiie, and showed the triumphant effects of intelligence and increased knowledge on the hu man mind. As hastily as possible—for I have just this moment left the Liberal dinner at the Coffee-house—as it was the re quest of several friends of mine (and of course of yours also) that I should send you, by this night's post, an ac count of the final proceedings of the election—the Mem bers to-day met their constituents in countless numbers ; they dined together, and the political opinions of both of whom are well known, were freely expressed, and were heartily responded to with three times three as hearty cheers as ever were given in any popular assembly of Eng lishmen. The meeting was unanimous, and attended by the I most respectable gentlemen in the county. The dinner surpassed anything we ever witnessed in Carlisle, and we have long been acquainted with electioneering proceedings. Such a unity of sentiment—such a determination of pur pose —never before was exhibited in Carlisle. Assembled thousands (uninterested, as far as direct personal interest went in matters of money, for money was going), congre gated together in order to show their approbation of the electors of East Cumberland. Such a sight was never seen in Carlisle, and probably never may be seen here again. After the candidates left the hustings—that is, the two suc cessful ones—they went into a landau, with four grey horses, decorated with all that art could furnish to adorn. An im mense cavalcade preceded them both on horseback and on foot, and they passed through the whole of the town amidst the cheers of assembled thousands. ISLE OF WIGHT ELECTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The returning of a Tory for the county ofthe Isle of Wight has astounded the natives, and must have occasioned no small surprise to the rest of England, particularly those acquainted with the fact of the Reformers being able to return a Reformer if they chose, with a very considerable majority. Was Pelham not Radical enough ? They owe an explanation to the country, which I hope they will not delay giving. I was at Yarmouth on Monday last, the first day of the poll, and on enquiring for Captain Pelham's inn, found he had none—no Committee—no Agent. I went to Cowes on Tuesday, where I found things nearly in the same state, no Committee having been formed—no Soli citor employed. Holmes's mob, led by the Sheddens, were parading the streets with a band and colours—Mr. Ward and several others at the booth, thanking every elector who polled for Holmes ; while not one gentleman attended, or even an attorney, at Captain Pelham's booth. Principle alone drew the electors to his booth, and the contempt in which the poor Tory was held gained bim the election : but how can men who are entrusted with the franchise justify their conduct to their countrymen ? Surely, not by their contempt for their adversary. The country expected better from the electors of the Isle of Wight. Men of Ryde and Newport, what say you—were you also asleep ? You are not tenants-at- will, or tradesmen of G. H. Ward :he cannot tell you you must vote for so-and-so, or turn out ; nor demand " your vote or your bill." Are you under the Shedden in fluence, or are you gone mad ? It is said that you, Newport folk, were so engaged with the borough, you forgot the county. Sir, hoping you will excuse my troubling you, I remain your's, A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER. NEWPORT. -111 r. Holmes was chaired here this day. The Radicals paraded an effigy of an idiot through the town, with his thumb in his mouth, which he appeared to be em ployed in sucking : on his breast was " The Member for Cowes."

EDINBURGH, THURSDAY, AUG. 10, TWO O'CLOCK.--I have much pleasure to inform you that Mr. Duff has car ried Banffshire by a majority of 81. The constituency is small, and therefore the majority is triumphant. Up to the present day the Liberal cause has gained two votes in Scotland, besides what we expect to gain by having three elections reversed. Mr. Duff made an admirable debut ; his maiden address is excellent ; he is only 22 years of age, and succeeds to the estates of his uncle the Earl of Fife, whose rent roll is near 70,0001. per annum. (FROM ♦NOTHER CORRKSPONDENT.) Duff ( R.) 2Bl Fergusson (T. ).. 2OO Majority for Duff 81, exceeding the whole number of votes unpolled, and his final majority will be 90. The Caithness election will be petitioned against on grounds sufficient to make any decent Committee unseat the psalm-singing renegade, Sir George Sinclair.

Morgan John Blennerhasset 147 Mullins TrlALtt- , =Mr, O'Connell arrived here on Monday morning to argue the point before the returning officer as to the objection to the Certificates of the borough voters. The words " this dall" were omitted by the Clerk of the Peace, and although the certiflcates were dated, still all the argu ment in the world would not turn the returning officer, who is a rank Tory, and he declared Bateman elected. Had the rejected votes been admitted, Maurice O'Connell would }save been elected by a considerable majority. The rejected voters have commenced actions against the return ing officer, and also against the Clerk of the Peace for a neglect of duty. A petition to the House Commons ivill be the consequence ; and if there is any justice to be had in St. Stephen's Chapel, Maurice O'Connell muit be the sitting Member. The nomination day for the county was on Monday ; end Mr. Daniel O'Connell, in proposing Mr. Mullins as one of the Members, embraced the opportunity of giving the High Sheriff a severe laceration, in having in his official character subscribed 5001. to the Blennerhasset Fund. The great struggle by the Blunnerhassets was yes terday, and there being such a trifling majority on the first day, there is no doubt but Mullins will be considerably above him on the 2d day, and that he will be elected by a considerable majority. There are upwards of 900 votes yet to poll. IRELAND. DUBLIN, AUG. 10. ATTEMPTED MURDER. - -A second edition of the Free man's Journal contains the following account of two most brutal outrages committed in Maryborough, at the nomi nation of candidates for Queen's County. The election has commenced under fearful and exciting influence. Already has the foul faction commenced their work. One man has been shot in the leg, which is broken, and another wounded in the abdomen, but fortunately not dangerously. The facts, as well as I could collect them, are as follows :—A crowd of respectably dressed individuals, to the amount of about one or two hundred, had taken possession of the steps of the Court-house, with a lievr of getting access to the in terior the moment the entrance should be opened. They were to a man the supporters of the political friends of Mr. Vesey. The people, on coming into the town, made their way up to the place where these persons were, and a scene of con tention ensued, each individual endeavouring to get the most prominent position. A few seconds had scarcely elapsed before a man was seen tottering out of the crowd— he had been wounded by a dagger-thrust in the abdomen. Scarce had the excitement and sensation which this tragic act had given rise to subsided, when a pistol shot was heard. On reaching the spot whence the report proceeded, I saw a man stretched on the ground—his leg had been broken by the ball. A man connected with the Leinslcr Express, the Orange paper—the foreman of the printing depart ment—was taken into custody, charged with having com mitted the last act. The excitement prevalent among the people was with difficulty allayed. The nomination took place at twelve o'clock. Sir Charles Coote was proposed by. Mr. C9oper, of Cooper-bill, seconded by Lord Sydney Osborne: The Hon. Thomas Vesey was proposed by Mr. Cosby, and seconded by Mr. Hamilton Stubber. John Wilson Fitzpatrick, Esq., of Upper Ossory, was proposed by Mr. Thomas Wyse, M.P., and seconded by Mr. P. Lalor. Baron de Roebuck was proposed by Mr. W. F. Finn, and seconded by Mr. Burrowes Kelly. This noble man was proposed, to give Mr. Fitzpatrick the advantage of double tallies, as well as his opponents. CITY OF DUBLIN.—That the decision of Mr. George, Assessor (who is we believe a Tory), is just, there can be no doubt in any rational mind. CARLOW ELECTION, WEDNESDAY,--At the close of the poll this evening the numbers were— Vigors and Yates Bruen and Bunbury Majority There are as yet 249 freeholders unpolled, the majority of whom will vote for the Liberal candidates. Colonel Shaw Kennedy arrived here to-day to hold an in vestigation on the conduct of Vignoles. For this the Go vernment deserve the everlasting gratitude of the people. He has been also suspended from his office until the inves tigation closes. Whether this defeat, and the monstrous loss of money, as well as of character, which Colonel Bruen has sustained, will teach him a lesson as to the folly of a country gen tleman attempting, in this time, to rough-ride a consti tuency, and to outrage the feelings of electors, we do not know. CORK ClTY.—Gross poll on Wednesday : Burnish Callaghan Leycester Chatterton 932 By letters received this day, nearly all our apprehensions, as to the success of the Liberal Candidates of the County of Cork, are removed. The following important commu nication is published in the Dublin Evening Post :—" It may be satisfactory to our friends in Dublin to know that our Assessor here, Mr. Collins, Q.C., this morning, after hearing Mr. Serjeant Jackson for the vote, and Mr. Blake, Q.C., against it, decided, without hesitation, that freemen registered less than six months arc clearly not entitled to vote, and he rejected the votes. He was clearly of opinion that six months' previous registry was essential for every class of voters, and that he had no right to enquire how the freedom came, whether by grace especial, or by right. Notwithstanding the polling of non-resident freemen, Cal laghan and Beamish will be returned by a large majority. TRALEE.—TraIee has, for the present only, been lost. No doubt is entertained that the decision of the Assessor is erroneous, and that Mr. Bateman will be compelled, on a petition, to resign his seat. The conduct of the Assessor has been completely inexplicable —upon ordinary grounds of law and reason. YOUGIIAL•-Mr. Howard has been returned by a majo rity of eight. KILDARE.—The scandalous alliance between the Orange and the Radical candidates failed altogether. The latter had only one vote—his proposer, we suppose—and then retired. COUNTY CAVAN.—The Liberal candidate, Mr. Winter, has declined to contest the county at present. Mr. Winter has stated his reasons fairly and candidly, in a letter ad dressed to Mr. Brady ; and from what we know of the actual condition of the respective parties in Cavan, and the efforts made by the Conservatives to intimidate the electors, we have no hesitation in saying that Mr. Winter is right in the course be has adopted. RIOTS.—The Orangemen at Armagh have been at their old game. The Catholics have been fired at. The magistrates met, and fully investigated the business. Th e person who shot Keys, and one of his companions, were fully identified, and committed for trial at next assizes, and informations were sworn against five persons for assaulting and beating the persons whom they had arrested, before the cavalry came. The other prisoners were all discharged, nothing criminal having appeared. LIES.--The most malignant calumny has been propa gated to injure the character of the Rer. William Benn, by stating that he received a living of 3001. a year for voting at the College election. Placards were posted up about the College walls, headed " Bribery and Corruption," as serting the fact. We believe that if his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant had a living to confer, he naturally enough would hare conferred it on this gentleman, who, we believe, is one of his own chaplains, and who for many years has been known as a zealous curate in this city. But what was our surprise when we found out that the Lord Lieutenant had not a single piece of Church patronage of any kind whatsoever to confer within the last two months. We hope that the Rev. Gentleman will not suffer the matter to rest, but that he will find out the fabricators of this most calumnious and base-hearted libel. It had its effect in in furiating the Confederates against him on Sunday.—Dublin Evening Post. _ FORTY FELONS!--The following rather remarkable tes timony to the omnipotence of Mr. O'Connell is from the Puddledock-press. That its truth should not be very ap parent is beautifully character i iatiq, and confirms the au thenticity of the compliment. The Times declares that " If O'Connell and the priests were disposed to take forty felons from the hulks, they could insure their election to be the representatives of several of the most important cities and counties of Ireland." We shall not perhaps be greatly surprised, when the elections are concluded, to find this most scrupulous scribe of the Square, y'cleped " Printing house," stoutly asserting, or at least covertly insinuating, that 40 of the Members of the most important places in Ireland are not merely the scum of "the land of bogs and blunders," but that they are actually " forty felons from the hulks !" An immense steamer, now building at Limehouse, for the American Steam Navigation Company, surpasses anything of the kind hitherto made. She is to he named, after our Queen, Victoria ; will cost from 80,000/. to 100,0001. ; has about 150 men now employed daily on her ; and is expected to be finished in November next. The ex treme length is about 253 feet, but she is 237 feet between the perpendiculars, 401 feet beam between the paddle boxes, and 27 feet 1 inch deep from the floor to the under side of the spar deck. The engines are two of 250 horse power, each with 6 feet 4 inch cylinders, and 7 feet stroke. She displaces, at 16 feet deep, 2,740 tons of water ; her computed tonnage is 1,800 tons. At the water line every additional inch displaces 181 tons. The average speed is exneeted to be 200 nautical miles per day, and consump tion of coals 30 tons. It is calculated that she will make the outward voyage to New York in 18 days, and home ward in 12, consuming 540 tons of coal out, and 360 home.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS By the returns received yesterday the Reformers have lost— In Flintshire Tralee In stating the Tory minority yesterday at eight above Sir Robert Peers calculation, we included seve ral Members in that minority who, on ahnost every question, will vote with :Ministers. To take, for ht.- stance Mr. George F. Young, Mr. Pusey, Sir S. Spry, and some others, they are certainly not Tories. Indeed, Mr. G. F. Young hastened from the north purposely to vote foal. Messrs. Byng and Hume at the Middlesex election. On all questions, except perhaps that of the appropriation clause in the. Irish Tithe Bill, Ministers will, therefore, have a much larger ma jority than what we stated. We find we also com mitted the mistake of including Mr. Heneage, a de cided Reformer, amongst the Tories. Keeping the above correction in mind, and withdrawing from the list of Tories those Members who for the reason stated cannot be claimed by that party we proceed to analyse the returns and the Members not yet returned, to be accounted for as follows : 309 300 The number of decided Reformers returned on Thursday morning was There bare been returned since 307 The number of decided Tories returned on Thursday morning was There have been since returned 295 There remain to be accounted for, from Scotlandi, and from Ireland 39. These may be distributed thus : Reformers. Tories. From Scotland From Irclanci . 32 33 8 Thu number of decided Reformers may then be taken at . . ..... The number of decided Tories at 342 308 Majority of decided Reformers over decided Tories . 34 The following gentlemen cannot be claimed by the Tories. We are, therefore, justified in classing them apart. The Members to whom we allude are— Mr. P. Pusey, Sir S. Spry, Sir G. Crewe, Sir G. Noel, Mr. G. F. Young, Sir E. Wilmot, Lord Northland, Lord Alexander. And whenever these gentlernen vote with Ministers the majority of 34 will be increased to 42, as in such cases they are manifestly not only to be withdrawn from the Tory numbers, but to be added to the list of the sup porters of Government. Whenever they are found voting against Ministers it will of course reduce the Ministerial majority to 26.—Morning Chronicle. The chapter of lamentations over which the cha grined Whigs are now poring is a highly instructive one. A fortnight ago, when Lord Melbourne dis solved the Peel Parliament with an abrupt and vindic tive impatience, he virtually declared, in the wanton ness of miscalculating pride, " By the strength of my hand have I done this, and by my wisdom, for I am prudent." At that giddy moment the Ministry on va rious accounts were mad with joy. Released from the humiliating restraints imposed upon them by their late Sovereign, they exulted in the conviction that the same circumstance which had inevitably forced their poison upon the young Queen, would, for a while at least, enable them to practise successfully upon her Majesty's facile and unsuspecting temper. To have got rid of a veteran Monarch, whose revolted experience of their O'Connellism scarcely surpassed his resolute ability to keep it in check, was regarded by them as a political Godsend of no ordinary magnitude: and simultaneously with that favourable change in their Court-facilities, they felt that the new accession afforded them a pretext for suddenly dismissing a House of Commons whose impatience of their ineptitude for public business was perhaps more than equalled by their unpopularity out of-doors, which, in the absence of any redeeming qualities of their own, they expected to allay by mere artifice and plot. With the twofold object, therefore, of escaping from embarrassments under which they were ready to sink, and of trying what fortune might do towards improving their Parliamentary condition, which, as they conceived, no unpropitiousness of her's could possibly render worse, forth comes the Royal fiat for an appeal to the constituency of the empire. To increase their chance of success, every species of the ad caplandurn was unscrupulourly employed. Al though the prorogation of Parliament in person in volved an ordeal of excitement and fatigue which, having frequently been shrunk from by Kings them selves, might well have entitled our virgin Queen to the privilege of closing the Session by Commission; her Majesty, in defiance of all propriety, was drawn forth from the privacy and grief of a bereaved circle ; was subjected to the gaze and glare of an uncongenial pageantry ; and, though scarcely escaped from pupil lage, was paraded before a million of eyes, in the hope that the Whig Cabinet who plotted this incongruous display might, peradventure, come in for a share of the admiration which the appearance of their illustrious captive can never fail to excite. Hard upon this, we had the memorable letters of Lord John Russell, first to the electors of Stroud, and then to the Earl of Mulgrave ; in both of which, by an unprecedented abuse of trust, her Majesty was misrepresented to the country as a keen political partisan, desirous of in-._ fl ue cing the general election in favour of the O'Con nell ascot:dancy. Lord Mulgrave's me an su b serv i enc y to the Pa p i s ,•:; had received, we we re t o ld, th e em phatic appro b a t h ;:r of the Queen. The liberal Mi nistry, i t was said, we, now in the unf e tt e r e d comman d of a liberal Court. Al; the revolutionary jou r n a ls h constituency, being were in ecstacies. The Britilc duly warned that, whether they W0i..7 1 d or not, the reign of democracy was begun, were invite, to swell the triumph which they were almost defied to retard. At the coining elections the Conservatives were to be packed off to Hanover. In short, the Whigs, with the accession of Lord Durham, whose published epistle was meant to facilitate their designs, were to have every thing their own way : and lest these various expedients for Whiggifying the kingdom should prove ineffectual, the utter impossibility of getting on with a Peel Parliament was represented as alone sufficient to insure in the nsw House of Commons an im mense Whig-Radical majority. Well, the appeal having been made, and the elections being nearly over, the issue, as far as the Whigs arc con cerned, is acknowledged to have disappointed their expectations. We might even call it, with all pro priety, an ignominious failure. But, contenting our selves with viewing it only in a negative light, as hav ing effected no improvement in the Parliamentary con dition of Lord Melbourne's Ministry, we have more than once broached the very natural question, ' What is to be done r How is the business.of legislation to be carried on ? Where are the resources in the new Parliament to strengthen the inefficient rrajorities of TWENTY-THREE and FIVE in the old ? If useful and moderate measures could not formerly be proceeded with, on account of the time pre-occupied by Minis ters in concocting, debating, modifying, and abandon ing extreme ones, it is pretty clear that, with the un diminished Opposition which is about to confront them, the stand greatly in need of some ingenious Ca suist to explain the particular devices whereby they mean to enforce their policy, and prolong their ob structive procedure. Such a casuist, it scans, has at length stepped forth to their assistance : and we are now told, that there is a threefold remedy, which, with a due regard to the retention of office, will enable them to meet and overcome the embarrassments to which stro have articled. 1. In the first place, their Morning orao de informs us, that they arc to strengthen themselves by a wise and judicious exercise of patronage," Now, really if this were anything short of downright impu, dence, we could almost be amused with its apparently innocent and unconscious humour. Why, half a dozen of years have scarcely elapsed since Lord Al thorp, speaking for Lord Melbourne and his other colleagues, declared that " the time for governing this country by patronage had come to an end." Phis, be it observed, was the Whig doctrine of 1831. No doubt, the professions then put forth were universally Places.
