part of England, or on the Continent, if required by Messrs. Gye and Hughes, for the above-mentioned sum of thirty pounds. " July 21, 1837. (Signed) R. COCKING." Mr. Cocking appeared to witness to be very well off in the world, and stated that it was not from a pecuniary object he went up. Witness visited him once, and found his par lour hung round with pictures of balloons and parachutes of every kind that had ever been invented. It was plain that he was engrossed by the subject. Mr. Cocking saw the parachute made entirely himself. He would not let any one interfere with him. Indeed, he was so firm in his own opinion that he did not appear very willing to receive any suggestions from other persons. The parachute took about three weeks to make in the Vauxhall-gardens. There was a little hurry the last two days, as was usual in all works of this kind. Mr. Cocking worked at it on the Sunday. It cost about 40/. He (Mr. Gye) never told him if he under took to go he must go ; on the contrary, he told him if he thought that his surface was not large enough, or if his nerve failed him, not on any account to go ; but he replied, " Oh, my dear sir, you are very kind, but I would not fail to go on any account." There was no understanding that he must go up at all hazards. So far from it that witness said if he felt the least distrust of his calculations, or of his work, to let it go up without him, and he (witness) would encounter in prefe rence the disappointment of the crowd. He told Mr. Cocking that he did not mind if they pulled the gardens to pieces, or if he were obliged to return the money, and bade him not have any apprehensions on that account. Mr. Cock- ing, however, assured him it was " all safe." Witness left nothing undone to provide for the safety of Mr. Cocking, although no fatal result was anticipated. He set his tackle man to make a rope-ladder to enable him to ascend into the balloon if he should wish to detach the parachute with ballast, and remain above himself (which witness assured him would gratify the public just as much) ; but on speak ing about this with Mr. Green, previous to starting, the latter recommended a pulley-tackle instead, as he and Nr. Spencer could haul up Mr. Cocking thereby in safety, whereas his effective ascent by the rope•la - ddcr would depend on the state of his nerves. Witness agreed, and the tackle was substituted for the ladder. _ _ _ It had been justly said that the construction of Mr. Garne rin was calculated to afford a more effective resistance to the air in descendiu, but Mr. Cocking was aware of, and had allowed for that. He would now proceed to explain what he conceived might have been the cause of the fatal result. He had mentioned his view to Mr. Green, who had at once exclaimed," You've hit it !" He believed that Mr. Cocking had, in liberating the parachute, by pulling the trigger-rope, unfortunately rolled it around his arm to get a firmer grip of it, and that he was (on the ascent of the balloon's next movement) caught up by the arm out of the basket. On such an occurrence his head would, probably, be struck against the inner iron ring from which the basket was suspended, and this might have left the wound per ceptible on the top of his head, which it was difficult to account for in any other way. Here it would be very pro bable that from the number of ropes coming over his head he got entangled, and had no command of himself. Be sides, he was twelve stone weight, and falling about ten feet from the rope he had twisted round his hand into the basket it would easily account for the machine not coming down in a direct line ; but as to its turning over it must be entirely an optical illusion, inasmuch as the atmospheric pressure (mere accident excepted) must have been equal upon all the under surface of the parachute. His belief was that there was the indent of a cord round his left wrist. A Juror—Mr. Finch, the surgeon, has stated that he saw no mark of any such indent. Mr. Couchman, the constable of Lee, most certainly 31w the mark of a cord on his wrist, when he was brought to this house. Mr. Spencer, Mr. Dennison, and Mr. Green, with seve ral other gentlemen, stated most positively that they aee the indentation, which was equal to the thickness of the line suspended from the trigger. Mr. Finch persisted in stating that he saw no mark of echemosis in the wrist. The muscles were very good. Mr. Morley, a surgeon, who also examined the body, corroborated Mr. Finch. Professor Airey asked if the rope or line alluded to would be enough to pull a min's arm out of the socl;ct, for, if it would nor, then there ,must have been some mark upon the wrist ? Mr. Morley begged to observe that Mr. Cocking was a man of extraordinary muscular power, and was much in the habit of using ropes by tray of exercise. A juror asked Professor Airey what was the difference of resistance offered by the air to the parachute before and after it had collapsed ? To which the Learned Professor replied, about one-fourth. The ConoNee—l saw the descent myself, and I most certainly say that it did not keep its position fo r th ree se conds after it was detached from the balloon. Several 4f :he Jury concurred is that opninn. Gre:elale, Mr. Norihm's s4-trvant, was again called, :sed in answer to se:erel questions said that the long sticks (the ribs of the parachute) ou•sile the parachute, end the cords were inside it, as ir inside an umbrella not quite half open. Mr. Frederick Gye resumed his evidence, and stated that Mr. Norman told him the par ichate was coming directly over his house, and Mr. Cocking having an apparatus of pullies to change the direction, to save himself from alight ing on a house or a tree, he probably used it, and having thrown his wei g ht upon one side, it came down out of the right line, a manoeuvre which he had taken coosideraide credit to himself in being able to accomplish. '['he pa rachute certainly took a slatting direction as it was de scending over Mr. Norman's house, and slid at least 300 yard , , into the field. Mr. Monch Mason was next called up. In his opinion, whether the machine had broken in the descent or not, the main result would have been the s title ; the insufficiency of the parachute to sepport the individual within the limits of velocity required by nature for the preservation of life was the real cause of the catastrophe. The rupture ef the machine sins merely an aceident which had occurred during the consummation of his fate. So far from hating been influenced in his opinions by the consideration of its strength, the eenchtion to which he had arrived regarding the iasuffieienee of the means rdiout to be employed was not only determieed bet made known to the public bethre he had ever seen the parachute, or any idea of the strength of the material employed in its cozr,truction. The grounds upon which he hid c.dculated the result were purely mathematical, it is true, and not experimental. They were by no means abstruse ; on the contrary, enough could be deduced, even by those moderately acquainted with that particular branch of science, to enable them t 3 ascertain tlte result, had they taken erdi nary pains to look into it. Tile mole in which the conclusion was to be obtained, was by a consideratior. of the size, form, and weight of the apparatus. With those he had been made acquainted by the public announcemeet of the pro prietors of Vauxhall ; and he could not but thick it deserv ing of much reprehension, that in a most vital point the-e were not properly stated ; he alluded ;o the weight of the machine, which had been declared to be 223 pounds, and with the rest of the appendages, altogether 393 pounds. Now it appeared, from the evidence of Mr. Green, that the weight of the whole did not fall much short of 600 you ads, The CORONER—About .500. Mr. Mason—At any rate the announcements differed exceedingly from the truth. Who could tell what steps might not have been taken to satisfy the party- of 1::3 error, and have prevented the melancholy experiment from Liking place, had the mathematical world been really apprised of the fact that it was in contemplation to make a descent with such a weight in a parachute of the dimensions described'? Mr. Gye here interrupted the witness to observe that M. Garnerin's parachute was but 28 feet in diameter, -and this was upwards of 30. Mr. Mason—M. Garnerin's parachute had only to sup port a weight of 2251b5., and, besides, was of a nature and construction particularly adapted to sustain it. Considering the weight, the form, and the size of the parachute em ployed upon the late melancholy occasion, the velocity of the descent, had the machine remained entire, would have exceeded twenty feet in a second—a rate totally inconsis tent with the safety of the individual, By a Juror—l did make 'Known the result of my calcula tions. Some time n*.eviousl I informed Mr. Green of them. O n t h e them to the nigfi g t before ' the ascent I communicated public press, in the hopes that they might make amore beigiingpowerful impression upon the parties concerned, as with them the stamp of authority, which a public declaration of opinion always confers ; and also in the hope that the public, being acquainted with the results, might be the more readily inclined to sanction the withdrawal of the attempt, if not absolutely to interfere to prevent it. Find ing eny remonstrances unavailing, on the following evening ,the day of the ascent) I went to the gardens, accom panied by this gentleman beside me (Mr. Sotheby), with the view of p ersona ll y d raw i ng the attention of the parties to the imminence of the case. I saw Mr. Cocking, expostulated with him seriously upon his design, beseeching him to afford me a moment's attention. Mr. Cocking replied that his friends had made experiments, and that he was fully satisfied of their correctness. I en treated him to observe that the case was not one for ex periment, but for calculations ; the experimental part had lona been determined. Upon these data the calculations were founded by which I hoped to convince him of the cer tainty of his failure. Mr. Cocking replied, as before, that he had no doubt as to his success. The CORONER—Your calculations had not been tested by Dr. Farraday ; besides, he is not here, and his name should not be unnecessarily introduced. Mr. Mason—l am aware of it ; I should not have ad verted to it had I not been called upon. The Coroner and Jury then retired, and in three-quar ten of an hour returned and announced the following ver dict ;•••.." We find that the deceased Robert Cocking came by his death casually andi by misfortune, in consequence of several severe injuries received by a fall from a balloon in a parachute of his own invention and construction ; and we further declare that the said parachute, as moving to his death, is therefore a deodand to the Queen." The CORONER then expressed on the part of the jury their perfect satisfaction at all that had appeared relative to the conduct of Messrs. Gye and Green in the melancholy affair, and concluded, with a serious reprimand to the landlord Sieres for his careless and heartless conduct in exposing the parachute and the body to the curiosity of multitudes at six pence per head, which it appears he announced was " for the benefit of the widow." The landlord exhibited a great soreness on this subject, and replied very stiffly that he con sidered the parachute was his property ; that he had as good a right to make money of it as the proprietors of Vauxhall Gardens ; supposed he had received about 101. in sixpences, and demanded 1.5/. for the use of his rooms. It appeared that he had refused to give up the parachute when called on by the head gardener of Vauxhall, and the Coroner de clared he had behaved with such bad feeling throughout that he could not recommend the payment of his very ex orbitant demand ; but recommended him, as some atone ment, to fulfil his promise, and hand over his collection to the widow. The jury were then discharged from further • attendance. HER MAJESTY. The Queen had a dinner party, and afterwards gave a concert, last evening at the new Palace, in St. James's Park.

The Earl and Countess Bruce have left town for their scat near Marlborough, where they intend to pass the autumn. Count and Countess Danniskiold will leave town in a few days to visit the Noble Earl and Countess. Louis Philippe has strangely squandered away the decorations of the L eg i on of Honour , till at last he has de prived it of all value in the eyes of the French.

COLIN DuNuw.—Mr. Colin Dunlop, for merly Member for this city, expired this morning. at seven o'clock. His intellect was clear, searching, and highly culti vated. His disposition, cheerful and kindly, was energetic and honourable. He knew but one path to his purpose, and that was the straightforward one. He may be said to have been the martyr of his devotion to the cause of Reform. His infirm frame sunk beneath the anxious concern he took in the im pending election. The sense of his loss saddens even triumph. In the whole range of our acquaintance we can recal no one . • ' ;u near to our itieul cf th,., mt„ln anl tleman as Mr. Dunlop.— Glasgow Argus of Thursday.. The first person placed on the new registration list of deaths for Wisbeach, was 96 years of age. GLASGOW NOMINATION. Long before twelve o'clock on Wednesday, the hour fixed for the nomination of candidates, the front of the gaol was densely crowded. Exactly at twelve o'clock the Sheriff appeared on the hustings, accompanied by the Lord Provost and the various candidates with their friends. They were received with mingled cheers, hisses, and groans from their respective friends. The Sheriff having read the writ, and the various Acts of Parliament necessary on such occasions, The LORD PROVOST came forward, amid the most en thusiastic cheers, to propose Lord William Bentinck: He had no doubt Lord William Bentinck and Mr. Dennistoun would be again returned.—(Cheers.) It was their duty to support the Queen and the present Government, the best the country had had for fifty years.—(Cheers.) Mr. ALEXANDER GRAHAM seconded the nomination. ROBERT GRAHAM, Esq., of Whitehall, proposed Mr. John Dennistoun.—(Loud cheers.) The nomination was seconded by Mr. W. BUCHANAN. WILLIAM BROWN, Esq., Dean of Guild, rose to propose Mr. Monteith, but such were the groans with which he was received that his speech was all dumb show. Mr. GEORGE WINTOSH seconded the nomination. Mr. JAMES CAMPBELL, of Muir-park, rose to propose Mr. James. Campbell, but not a word he said could be heard. MICHAEL ROWAND, Esq., banker, seconded the nomi- nation. Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK—The gentleman who pro posed him had given him more credit than he deserved ; but he would speak a word about the disqualifications alleged against him by the younger of his opponents. He might have treated an old soldier. with more consideration, at least he might have given true representations. or en deavoured to ascertain the facts.—(Cheers.) The first charge against Mr. Monteith was, that he said I was a pensioner and sieecurist. lam neither one nor the other. —(Cheers.) Another charge he made was, that I am as good a Conservative as himself. I am in favour of the Constitution ; but I wish it to be implanted in the whole people.—(Cheers.) So much for my young friend. The next charge is that lam the son of a Duke. The noblest work of God is man, and I acknowledge no distinction among them but what arises from his knowledge, his inde pendence, and his moral and religious character..--(Cheers.) He wished no other distinction than they would give to the poorest man among them. Here I am, the son of a Duke, and where will you find one who has done more than I have done for the good of the people ?—(Loud cheers.) While I represented you I supported Lord Melbourne's Ministry. I have supported the measures for the good of Ireland.—(Cheers.) I see no reason why such noble fel lows—and I have fought with them—should not have equal privileges with the English and the Scots.—(Loud cheers.) At Corunna, in my brigade, they were equal to the 42d Regiment, and I cannot pay a greater compliment than that.—(Cheers.) I mean to support the abolition of the Corn-laws, the improvement of the Reform Bill, the Ballot, and setting the Slave Emancipation Act •on such a footing as to put an end to the a pprenticeship system.--• (Cheers.) We have now a Liberal Sovereign and a Li beral Government, and it now remains for the people to support them. There is one thing before us we should look to ; that is, that we may not fall into the tender mer cies of the Duke of Cumberland. If that day comes I hope every Briton will do his duty.--(Cheers.) Mr. DENNIsTouN said, after the satisfactory manner in which his friend answered the charges against him, he need not farther allude to thern.—(Cheers.) We are for good and cheap g overnment ; for justice to Ireland ; to have - the s urplus funds of the Irish Church put to purposes of edu cation. But what were the opinions of his opponents?— (Cheers.) He was surprised that any one should have supposed Glasgow electors could be carried by feasts and wine.—(Cheers, and cries of " No, no.") There has been one continued system of social treats, as they please to call them.— (Cheers.) You, gentlemen, are the same as you were the last election, and I trust you will be the same on this—Great cheering.) Mr. MoNTeint rose, but the noise prevented him being generally heard. He did not call Lord William the son of a Duke to disparage him.—(Oh, oh.) He came forward as one of the people to stand by tie Constitution of the oh.) Of the Duke ct Cumberland he would say, GA, forbid he should ever have power over the British C,:attltution.—(Cheers.) The StiltlFF then took a show of hands : first, for Lord William 13entinck the show was nearly unanimous. The next was for Mr. Dennistoun, and unanimous as far as could be judged. For Mr. Monteith there appeared to be, out of the 25,000 people present, about 100 ; and forMr.Campbell not mere than 100. The SiIERIFF then declared the show of hands to be in flyour of Lord William Bentinek and Mr. Dennistoun. Messrs. Campbell and Monteith demanded a poll, which was fixed for ei g ht o'clock on Thursday. Deafening cheers were then given for Bentinck and Dennistoun, and for the Queen, and three groans for Monteith and Campbell. lIADDINGTON BURGHS. NOMINATION. Monday being fixed for the nomination of candidates for this district of burghs, the friends of the respective parties were early in activity. At a quarter before 12 o'clock Mr. Steuart and his party marched in procession to the hus tings, which were situated at the west-end of the Town 11c.inse. The Liberal party were received with loud cheers. Sir Thomas Hepburn and his party arrived soon after, and were received with disapprobation. ROBERT RIDDELL, Esq., the Sheriff, read the sent and the Act against bribery and corruption. Provost LEA,' of Haddington, then came forward to re commend to them as a fit and proper person to be their Representative their late Member, Mr. Steuart.—( Loud e!_iecring.) They had sent Mr. Steuart to Parliament four times, and they would find Mr. Steuart guided by the same principles as those he had set out with, and was de termined to carry through, for the salvation of his country. SIMON LAW ER S, of Dunbar, seconded the nomination of Mr. Steulrt. Provost ELLIOT, of Jedburgh, proposed Sir T. B. Hep burn, who was seconded by Dr. AITCH ESON, of Dunbar. Mr. STEcAaT caine forward amidst loud cheering. This wa:s not a struggle between two gentlemen who were anxious to get into Parliament—it was principles, not men, they had to do with—the issue of the struggle was of great importance to the country. The gentleman who proposed his Hon. Opponent made allusions to his (Mr. Steuar t ) being bound to a party. He would just state that he would not deny that he was bound to a party, and be would ever be, so long as that party's ppinions coincided with his own ; and as to his accepting office under that party, he would state freely, that whenever it was their wish, he was ready to resign that office. What had the other party been doing ? Moro ill than a century could rectify. To speak nothing of the jobs practised by feeding their brothers and sons at the expense of the nation, was it not disgraceful the manner in which they had exercised the Church patronage, by forcing upon the people unpopular ministers, and thus creating, dissent ? Mr. Steuart here referred to what the Whigs had done for reforming the abuses the Tories had brought into the State. He would like to know if the Tories would have supported or carried through any of these measures ? Would they have struck the fetters off the slaves ? Would they have referred to a Committee the revisal and disposal of the Pension-list ? Would they give relief and justice to Ireland ? Would they repeal the Sep tennial Act ? Now, he (Mr. Steuart) was prepared to give his support to all of these measures. Mr. Steuart concluded amid loud cheering. j Sir THOMAS HEPBURN then came forward, and was re ceived with groans and hisses, and a few cheers. The Hon. Gentleman entered into a number of inconclusive arguments concerning the Church, religious toleration, the Reform Bill, the Government, and the Queen, of whom he said, " What, gentlemen, will the Queen of Britaint say to a party governed by O'Connell ?" A. great d been said about the suppers and drinking of his party ; all he would say of this would be, that he was happy to see his friends and those who supported him enjoying themselves. He concluded by apologising for his speech, it being the first be had ever delivered, and hoped they would return him on Wednesday by an overwhelming majority.—(Groans and hisses succeeded the conclusion.) The &math , then requested a show of hands for Mr. Steuart, when the whole assembled crowd held up their hands, except the small party of Sir Thomas. A show of hands being asked for Sir Thomas Hepburn, his committee, and a dozen or so of hands at the corner of the hustings, composing the band and flag-bearers in the pay of the party, appeared. The SHERIFF having decided in favour of Mr. Steuart, a poll was demanded - on the part of Sir Thomas Hepburn, on which the Sheriff adjourned the proceedings till Wed nesday morning, when the polling commenced. Yesterday, shortly after three o'clock, his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant arrived at Kingstown, from England, by the Alert steam-packet. Thousands of spectators, principally the visitors and inhabitants of that fashionable place of resort, were congregated on the pier; and when his Excellency came on deck he was greeted by the most hearty and enthusiastic cheers we ever witnessed. His Excellency was accompanied by some of the officers of his household; he proceeded to town on horseback, whilst some of his suite came in a carriage preceded by outriders and followed by two or three equerries. Several private carriages and gentlemen on horselseck joined his Excellency's cortege, and accompanied it t o town. He was most cordially greeted by the popul ace as he passed through the various villages between Kingstown and Dublin. Never did viceroy or ruler set his foot in an y country confided fr to his care who has so completely won the hearts and a vi cue pevi.d. ho s Noble Lord proceeded immediately to the viceregal lodge, where a large party were assembled to receive Wm.—Dublin ,Evening Post. BOROUGH OF HULL. The direful effects of Tory principles have been nowhere more baneful in their operations and results then in the borough of Hull. Common decency seems to have been altogether outraged in the shameless bribery and direct coercion exercised by the leaders of the Hanoverian fac tion, and in the gross and wilful perjury which inevitably attends the practice of polling (by personation) the names of persons thousands of miles away on the seas, or long since dead. The friends of real Christianity, and of the morals of the country, must mourn over scenes of de bauchery, disorder, and crime, such as were promoted by the High Church Tories of Hull during the recent contest—and yet it is some consolation to know that these practices were so notorious and flagrant as to defeat their object—for there can be no doubt that in the scrutiny which will follow a petition to the House of Commons, both the mock representatives of this place must be unseated ;—and we arc by no means sure that the same kind of retribution 'which visited the Ipswich Bribers, will not fall on the heads of some of the parties implicated in these corrupt and scandalous proceed ings. Among the Reformers of all classes and grades, but one feeling we hear prevails,—that of mingled grief and indignation ;—a painful and (as we are bound to say) well founded sense of degradation ;—and but one opinion, viz. that of good and unbribed votes they had a large majority. Apart altogether from party politics it is a sad disgrace to a commercial town like Hull, to have rejected Mr. Hutt, a gentleman of extensive acquirements, of sound judgment, and of unspotted integrity, who for five years has sacrificed his whole time to the local and commercial interests of the town and port, and to return in his stead a silly lad, just come of age—so silly as to be an object of derision, it seems, even among his drunken supporters, at their public bacchana lian orgies. The Tory merchants of Hull must by this time have felt that in opposing Mr. Hutt with such a babbling boy as this, they have manifested the basest ingratitude, as well as the most arrant imlffleility. Nor is the stigma much lighter which they have incurred by returning a briefless bar rister, of whom nobody ever heard before, even in London, from which he dated his address—a mere chance adventurer when they might have had their interests re presented by a man of ample fortune, of high commercial character, and of long experience in general business, in the person of Mr. Benjamin Wood. This election proclaims to the whole country what Toryism and Hanoverianism really are, and what a laughing-stock they would make of the House of Commons if they could only get a temporary ascendancy. We tell the men of Hull that already their mock representation is scorned and derided among all the constituencies of the kingdom. We feel assured, however, that they will not be long content to be held up to all England as a beacon of warning, when they might have been aye, and may still be - - a glorious ex ample, to which to direct the minds of other electors. At the opening of Parliament the pro. tem. representatives of the purchased and intoxicated of the old burgesses of Hull will be regarded with much the same feelings of amusement or contempt, as those with which we look on the painted paper Guys of the sth of November ; or the sabled monarchs personated by the chimney-sweeps in May day ; still from a deeper sense than comes our irresistible laughter, will arise a spirit of strong indignation—that under the Reform Bill the People's House should be so degraded—and the principle of representation so shamefully prostituted. It cannot be long, however, unless we much misjudge the patriotism and perseverance of this injured constituency—it cannot be long that these effigies of senators will remain about Palace yard, making the very name of Hull to be a passing by word—a term of common reproach in the streets. We re• joice to find that a liberal subscription has already com menced, that there is spirit enough and means enough to carry on the war, and that no expense will be spared. The evidence will be so strong and direct, that Sir WALTER JAMES will have but a short space in which to do the bid ding of LORD OF LONDONDERRY ; and WILBERFORCE not longer to disparage the name he bears—in the place where that name was once honoured—by doing the bidding , of Sir WALTER JAMES (whose money, it is said, has re turned him). Nor will either have opportunity to fight long under that banner, which the hated Despot of Hano ver and his party will unfurl in the House of Commons, against the constitutional Queen of England, her Reform ing Ministers, and loyal affectionate people. No !—we re peat it with confidence—the borough which is associated so closely with the history of Andrew Marvel, cannot long re main in its present degraded position. STAFFORD. A Morning Paper contains a paragraph, which states that the " Irish Popish funds and secret service money" were brought in aid of the return of Captain Chetwynd for the borough of Stafford. Nothing can more clearly show the bitter disappointment of the Tory party than this extrava gance of lying. So far from this being the fact, it is well - ern that the promises of Chetwynd and Blount amounted to neatly twice the number of those of the Tories, and in duced the latter on the morning of the election to give three pounds for a single vote for Farrand, and six pounds for a split vote for Farrand and Baring. Upwards of eighty votes are known to have been bought at one public-house, and forty at another ! Some of Mr. Blount's party burst into a room in which the bribery was proecediog and captured a money-bag and tickets, which at e now in the bands of his Committee, leaving a heap of sove reigns on the table. This transaction took place under the auspices of a certain gentleman who on a late occasion bore testimony to the immaculate character of the Stafford burgesses before the Lords. 'Fite tickets and money-bag were produced at the polling-place with an effect that ren dered the situation of Messrs. Baring and Farrand not the most pleasant,andeaused an universal demand that the bribery oath should be administered. In fact, nothing but the most open, profligate, and undisguised bribery on the Tory side enabled them to return Mr. Farrand. The Liberals defy the so-called Conservatives to produce a single instance of any undue influence on their side ; and they say that some of my Lord Stafford's tenants were the principal supporters of tile other side, and lent their houses to the most unblush ing bribery. The result of the election has shown that the Liberal cause has the firmest root in the borough, and will with constant working and attention, enable, on a future cc sion, the upright part of the constituency to get rid of Mr. Farrand. Indeed it is somewhat questionable. whether this latter Honourable Member will find it conve nient to take his seat when he perceives the mass of evi dence in the hands of the Liberals, which, if necessary, can be brought forward to unseat him. He may depend upon, it, n either his advocate in the M ornin g Print, nor his agents in Stafford, will stand him in much, if future pro ceedings be adopted. IRELAND. The Wale/ ford Chronicle of Thursday says, " We have heard, from what we deem unquestionable authority, that the Hanoverians have at length --at the eleventh hour-- discovered two foes to her Majesty's Government, whom they have resolved to show their impotence by putting for ward for the representation of Waterford. Those are Major Beresford (son of the notorious Claudius! save the mark !) and a Mr. O'Reilly, from the North (whom no one in this city ever before heard of)." A numerous and influential meeting has been held for the purpose of securing the independence of the city, in the persons of Mr. Wyse and of Mr. Barron. The Dungarvan election commenced yesterday. The Hon. Cornelius O'Callaghan has secured himself in the affections of tile electors. His canvass has been successful beyond expectation. It is said by some that Mr. John Mathew Galvrey has received orders from head-quarters, and that he will try his hand. But we believe him not to be so utterly reckless. A number of gentlemen who act as deputies for the dif ferent parishes of Dublin, to promote the liberal interest, waited yesterday on Mr. Drummond to point out to him the necessity of directing the magistrates within the metro- politan district to attend each day at some convenient place, in order that the oath of allegiance to her Majesty the Queen, might without delay be administered to those who had not done so to George the Third, his heirs and successors. The Under Secretary received „ i l e deputation politely, but expressed a doubt whether sue proceeding was legal until the election had actually commenced, and recommended them to obtain the opinion of some eminent legal authority on the subject, when, if it were not contrary to law, he should be most happy to com p l y with their wishes. The Queen's letter to Lord Mulgrave has been a severely stunning blow to the Orange faction. A CUSTOMER EJECTED. One day lately, a R " proprietor on the ba nks of theT d ay Tay, equally celebrated for his profundity of his intel lect,ers waited upon a person to ultra -Toryism an in the town who had for some time past s upplied his f a mily fwithid ng brreaawdi,forhitahecupsutorpmosein o f f ut i u n r t e i : pledge owit' himself to vote for the Tory h his n a intention ke r would After a little general con ver s ati o n, the following cuemaonanlltledoisnqisdguatytiook place : — Custo mer : " Mr. —, I have been in the practice for some time of buying my bread from you."

The disgraceful triumph of the Tories here has been ce lebrated to-day by a procession, of which we were led to expect a splendid show, but a more miserable failure has never bee❑ witnessed in Bath. The party was headed by a band of music, followed by a hundred or so of their bought electors, interspersed with swindlers and boys, after which came a few carriages, in one of which was Lord Powerscourt and Ludlow Bruges ; two of her Majesty's mail coaches were also (illegally in my opinion) arranged irs the ranks, to give a degree of brilliancy to the scene, the rear being brought up by a cart-load of sweeps, who have of late become great friends of the Tories. In this manner they proceeded through the city amid the yells and execra tions of the honest population. The result of this eleCtion has staggered a great many influential electors who are now endeavouring to investigate the cause of their defeat. Bribery to a very great extent has been practised here. An awful occurrence took place the other day, of a mason having sold his vote for 101. ; he accordingly tendered it at the poll-booth ; the clerk instantly put the bribery oatlr to him, when he swore that he had received nothing for it, and left the place in great excitement ; in order to drown the r e collection of his infamy he repaired to a neighbourin public-house, and in the space of three hours was taken: home dead. Having searched him, upwards of 51. were found in his pocket, which his wife could give no account of. The constituency of Bath, who heretofore had been considered a high-minded class, has now allowed themselves to become a buy-word and reproach. The shameful defee tion of a large class of Dissenters (chiefly Methodists) has been one cause of the present degraded condition, but the main cause can only be attributed to the grossest bribery, treating, and intimidation. A petition is already spoken of, and a subscription raised to defray the expense ; two Hon. Gentlemen have guaranteed the payment of two thousand pounds, and others smaller are now being collected for the purpose. By this mode we may retrieve our character, and show we will not in future become victims to Tory gold, Tory intimidation, and Whig duplicity. PLYMOUTH, JULY 27.

Gillon, Esq., being nominated .by Mr. James Simpson, merchant, and seconded by Mr. Wm. Simpson of Kerre road, Falkirk, was duly elected by the Sheriff, without en countering opposition. HUDDERSFIELD, JULY 28. State of the poll at eleven o'clock : Stanfield Oastler 247 Majority . _ --18 At four o'clock this morning the Radicals and Tories pa raded the streets, and mustered their forces with a band of music ; about an hour before the commencement of the poll, both men and women, in great numbers, concentrated their forces round the booths, temporarily erected in the centre of the Market-place, and hooted and insulted all who were accidentally passing at that early hour, if known, or suspected, to be opposed to their favourite candidate, Oastler. Three or four gentlemen were grossly assaulted ; Mr. Moodie had his coat-skirts torn off, and two other gentlemen were served in like manner. As eight o'clock drew nigh, it was apprehended that no. one would be allowed to appros ch the booths, unless they were in the blue interest. How e ver, at that time, the London Police, now stationed het', came to the Market-place, opened a passage to the booths,. and awed the mass of the people into something like order- Yet, still, this demonstration of physical force has alarmed. many electors, and will have great influence in the election by deterring some from recording their votes. The people arc in a state of great excitement. No colours exhibited but blue, nor music except the Radical Tory band. I now' think there will be no breach of the peace. Many are holding back from voting fur Stanfield, therefore you maY assure your readers of Stanfield's ultimate success. LINCOLN, JULY 28.
