f Commons, his (Mr. Childers's) belief was, that instead of doing much, he would do nothing for the country—( Hear, hear)—for the Corporations and Aristocracy would then say, _ We have now a Conservative House, and will not submit to further measures of reform."—( Hear and cheers.) The Honourable Mr. YORKE then presented himself, and proceeded to remark that it had pleased his Majesty to dismiss the late Ministers for the desertion of those duties which they owed to him and their country. —( Great groaning.) He would give them from print the character of Lord Brougham of the late Parliament—( Great groaning)--and he thought what appeared in print more worthy of credit than mere assertions. —( Cries of " No, no.") He was about to speak of their own oracle, their own idol, who was now trampled in the dust— ( Loud groaning, and cries of, " We'll not hear you.") Mr. EATON said, should he be sent to Parliament, he would go there convinced that the agricultural interest was not half represented. —( Hear, hear.) He would not long detain them. Should he be sent to Parliament, he assured them he would ever be b. friend of the rights of the people—( Cheers)—and farther, that one of his Arst votes would be for a commutation of the tithe system.—( Cheers.) The HIGH SHERIFF then proceeded to take the show of hands, which he declared to have fallen on Mr. Townley, Mr. Yorke, and Eaton. Upon which, Mr. Childers demanded a poll, which will commence on Thursday. HANTS ( SOUTH.) Public anxiety here is rising to an almost painful degree. The return of Lord Palmerston will be hailed by the Reformers as a glorious omen, and his defeat will be looked upon by the Conservatives as the greatest triumph they have yet achieved. As the struggle approaches, both parties appear to work on with double ardour and energy. They seem as if they had set their political lives on this cast, and were determined in trepidly to stand the hazard of the die. But Palmerston shall go coute qui coute, say the Tories : " Out I will not go," says his Lordship. His friends back him well, feeling that he de serves their support. It will be all they can do, however, to pull him in ; for a more detestable system of " forcing " sup port was never yet heard of. Landlord influence is constantly appealed to ; and when this fails of effect, hints of a most ungenerous character, but such as can very well be understood, are very freely dropped. Decency and propriety, fair dealing and honest principle, seem to be completely abandoned. The intimidation which has been practised in this district, not merely with reference to the county, but in regard also to the borough elections, must, I think, of necessity, come before Parliament. It has been of the most flagrant description. Still, I think we have strength enough to put Palmerston and Staunton at the head of the poll. CA RNARVON (BOROUGHS). SATURDAY.—Throughout the whole day the polling has dragged slowly on, owing to the administration of the bribery oath and other oaths--sometimes in English and sometimes in both English and Welch—to every elector as he came up. This was done by the friends of the Reform candidate, in order to consume the prescribed hours, and thus to counteract the arbitrary influence so assiduously and so successfully em ployed by the Tories. Such a state of things is humiliating in the extreme, and calls aloud for some measure of relief. Colonel Parry, the Liberal candidate, has a majority of 33 on the aggregate poll of the associated boroughs, and he will be returned on Monday. CA.RNARVON ( COUNTY). Mr. Madocks, the unsuccessful Reform candidate in the Denbighshire boroughs, is spoken of as a probable competitor with Mr. Assheton Smith, for the representation of Carnar vonshire. The election will be on Tuesday. DURHAM (SOUTHERN DIVISION). There are rumours that a Tory is to be started, in opposi tion to Mr. Pease and Mr. Bowes, but nothing certain is yet known. DURHAM ( CITY). Thursday was the nomination day. The show of hands was in favour of Mr. Harland and Mr. Grainger, the Reform candidates ; but fears are still entertained that the London derry interest may put in Mr. Trevor, the Tory. ST. IVES ( CORNWALL). Mr. liaise has been returned without having been opposed. He professes to be a Reformer, yet is designated a Tory ; and I believe the latter appellation to be the most appropriate ; in proof of which he has been marshalling all his forces to sup port Lord Boscawen in the Western division of the county, in opposition to that tried friend of the people, Mr. Pendarves. The election for the Eastern division of the county will take place on Monday, and that for the Western division on Tues day. There is no contest in the former, but the struggle in the latter will be severe. HANTS-(NORTH.) DEFEAT OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON IN HIS OWN COUNTY. WINCHESTER, JAN. 12.—The election of two Knights to re present the northern division of Hampshire, took place this morning at the County Hall. Mr. MILDMAY, late M.P. for Winchester, proposed Mr. Lefevre, whose nomination was seconded by Blunt, Esq. of Kempshott. Mr. SCOTT was proposed by G. P. Jervoise, Esq., and se conded by Sir H. Tichborne. Mr. BUDD, of Burghalere, said the late Members had not done their duty. One had pledged himself to vote for the re peal of the malt tax, which he did ; but at the beck of the Mi nister he voted to put it on again. The other was never at his post. He thought they should send men of business into the House, and not any of the Squirarchy ; and concluded by proposing Mr. John Cobbett, and, calling upon some one to second the nomination amidst loud shouts and laughter. No one doing so, the Sheriff declared Messrs. Lefevre and Scott duly elected. The Members then proceeded to address the electors. KENT. --..-.... - . EARL OF DARNLEY.—We have great pleasure in learninr , that the above nobleman has caused a distinct intimation to be given to each of his numerous tenants in the neighbourhood of Cobham hall, and other parts of the county of Kent, that it is his real wish, that in giving their votes at the ensuing election, they should be guided solely by their own feelings and sense of duty, without for a moment considering what might be most agreeable to their landlord. SURREY. WESTERN DIVISION.—The nomination of candidates to re present the Western division of the county of Surrey in par liament, took place yesterday afternoon at the Town-Hall, Guildford. The candidates were Mr. Denison, the former member, and Mr. Barclay, the brewer, and a gentleman named Long. Mr. John Leech, the former member, retired. Mr. CRAWFORD, M.P., for the city of London, proposed W. J. Denison, Esq. Mr. GoSSE seconded the nomination. MILES STRINGER, Esq. proposed Mr. Barclay. Sir CHARLES SULLIVAN seconded the nomination. Mr. LEECH proposed Henry L. Long, Esq.- —( Cheers.) Mr. L OC KE KING, brother of Lord King, seconded the nomination. Mr. DENISON then addressed the meeting, and was received in the most favourable manner. He had thought it his duty to support the measures of the late Ministry, and it was due to them to state the difficulties they laboured under. They had cemmitted great many errors, and were guilty of many mistakes, but their motives were pure, and directed to that which was right.—( Cheers.) Just look at their position— undermined at Court, with two parties in the House of Com mons hostile to each other in the highest degree—Tories and Radicals ; harrassed from morning till night ; but, above all, opposed by the magistracy, the clergy, and the squirarchy, it was a wonder that they remained in office so long as they did. They were succeeded by a set of gentlemen whose principles were not known. Those gentlemen professed them selves to be Reformers, but if they were Reformers why did they turn out Lord Melbourne? They had been tried for a period of sixty years, and to them was to be attributed the debt of six hundred millions in which the country was now involved.— .( Hear, hear.) They now professed thomselves to be reform sirs ; but he would ask, would they honestly carry into prac tice the principles of the Reform Bill ?—( No, no.) They might adhere to the letter of it ; but would they act lip to Op virit of it, and endeavour to improve the institutions of iho country ?—( Hear.) Their friends say they would do so ; but was it certain their friends would agree to those alterations ? Be thought they would not. They were approaching a stormy period ; and they should know every sentiment that pervaded the breast of any man who appeared before them. When the American war broke out, the debt of the ceuntry was 128,000,0001. When the war of general revolution took place, the debt was 228,000,0001., and at the end of the French war was increased to 800,000,000 L—( Hear, hear. ) Who caused that debt.? Who induced the country to under take the two wars that increased the debt ?—( A voice in the crowd, " The Tories, to be sure.") Then it was said, what was the remedy for this? He would reply, let Government lessen and alter taxation, and lay it to a greater extent on wealth, and less on industry.—( Great cheering.) With re gard to the Church, he wished to see the honest and liberal measures proposed, which would have the effect of restoring it to the hearts of the people. N s ? would not agree to a con fiscation of Church property. He wts;r-?c 1 to see a just and fair commutation of tithes. He was anxious t;=Z the Church revenue should be revised—that sinecures should be ais,?.. l ished --and that resident clergymen should received salaries from 2001. to 5001. per annum. And, above all, he was anxious that the revenues of the bishops should be equalized. He hoped that, whoever were Ministars, they would direct their attention to ,the sister country, and prevent such scenes of bloodshed as had lately occurred at Rathcormac, and which were a disgrace to the country. (Hear, hear, hear.) He hoped Ministers would take means to prevent the Roman Catholics being compelled to pay tithes for the support of a Church of which they did not approve • and that he hoped they would introduce into Ireland a modified system of poor laws.—( Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman then adverted to the claims of the Dissenters, expressing himself favourable to the granting of those claims, and hoped the would be al lowed the privilege of graduating at the Universities.— (Cheers.) He then proceeded to state that he never could agree to the separation of Church and State.—( Cheers, and some hisses.) By what he had seen at former elections, he .had observed that there was another reform much wanted, he meant a reform in Corporations.—( Hear, hear.) He consi dered that every individual occupying a house in a town, ahouki be eligible to municipal honours, and be allowed to participate in Corporation affairs. He was anxious for a re vision of the Pension-list, wishing that the country should know the persons to whom money was granted. He declared -that he could not place any confidence in Ministers, but if they brought forward xacitsures for the benefit of the people they should have his support. With regard to the ballot, he though t there was no occasion for it, as the Reform Bill secured to the people that they desired, viz., the contrpl over their r epresenta tives.—( Hear, hear, and some disapprobation.) A person in the Hall said, " Will you vote for the Bishops being removed from the House of Lords ?" Mr. DENISON said, I will vote for equalizing the revenues of the Bishops, but I will not go the length that is asked me. —( Some disapprobation.) Mr. BARCLAY next presented himself, and was received with shouting and cheers, mingled with hissing and noise. He would not pledge himself to the separation of Church from State, and did not consider that such a demand was made by the majority of the Dissenting body. He most cordially con curred with his Honourable Friend as to the Reform of the Church, and said be was opposed to the plan of taking the Bishops out of the House of Lords. He did not deny the name of a Tory ; but when in Parliament he voted against them, and against increasing the revenues of the Royal Princes. —( Hear, hear, hear.) He confessed, however, he would not haye gone the length of the Reform Bill, or supported it as it was carried.—( Much disapprobation.) Some gentlemen, however, were not satisfied with the Reform Bill, but wanted more ; they wanted, he supposed, triennial Parliaments and the ballot.—(" Yes, we do.") He never would vote for those I measures. Mr. LONG then presented himself, and was received with I the most deafening cheers. He proceeded at great length to express his political principles ; which were the repeal of the Septennial Act, a commutation of tithes, reform in the Church establishment, principally for the purpose of adequately paying the working clergy, and the abolition of pluralities. He was the warm and determined friend of the Dissenters. He then adverted to the late melancholy affair at Rathcormac, observing that the system of collecting tithes in Ireland required revi sion. His opinion on the corn laws was, that he held them to be absolutely necessary to the existence of the agricultural interest. With respect to the malt-tax, he stood before them as the enemy of every species of taxation ; and the first on the list that ought to be repealed was the malt-tax.—( Cheers. ) Mr. DRUMMOND then stood up, and said he was desirous, as the advocate of the unrepresented, to address the meeting a few moments—( Hear)—and, alluding to the Poor-Law Bill, said that he felt bound to state that he viewed it as a mischie vous and abominable measure. He thought the candidates should be asked if they approved of it. If they did, they might say with Malthus, There is no place at the table for the lower orders." The Honourable Gentleman concluded by saying, that no Administration or measures should be sup ported, which will be attended, as that bill is, with the curses of the widow and the father. Sir HENRY AUSTIN, Mr. HOLME SUMNER, and some other gentlemen, addressed the meeting ; after which the show of hands was taken ; and the majority appearing in favour of Mr. Denison and Mr. Long, a poll was demanded on the part of Mr. Barclay. IRELAND. DUBLIN, JAN. 10.—The elections in a few Irish boroughs and cities commenced yesterday and the preceding day. The only one at which there has been a poll previous to this day, is that of Athlone, where the candidates are J. J. Talbot, Esq., the former member, and Captain Mathew, a young aspirant for legislatorial honours, who comes forward to oppose Mr. Talbot on the Conservative interest. The election at Athlone com menced yesterday. Talbot has a majority of one. The con test is likely to be a very close one. CITY OF KILKENNY.—NOMINATION.—The election for this city commenced yesterday. The candidates were Messrs. Sul livan and Fletcher, both Reformers. Whatever be the result, therefore, it must be prejudicial to the Tory Government. ENNISKILLEN.—The election (?) for this Old Sarum of Ireland took place on Thursday. Lord Enniskillen's nomi nee—the Hon. Mr. Cole—was " in due course" returned ; the Hon. Gentleman professing ',himself, amidst the vociferations of his vassals, the heart's blood of an Orangeman. CITY OF LIMERICK.—RETURN OF Two RBFORNIBR9.—On Thursday the Messrs. Roche were returned for this city, a very slight show of opposition having been presented by Al derman Watson. Vv BOROUGH OF PORTARLINGTON.—CoIoneI Dawson Darner, a Conservative, was returned without opposition for this borough yesterday. Du N GARVAN.— Mr. Sergeant O'Loughlin has been returned without opposition for this borough. DUBLIN CITY.—Mr. O'Connell, who was in Cork on Thursday, has addressed the Dublin electors. They have been also addressed by Mr. Ruthven. Active preparations for hostilities are being made on both sides. COUNTY LOUTH.-it is rumoured that Sir Patrick Bellew, in complance with the wishes of a majority of the constituents, returns to the contest for this county. LONGFORD.—Meetings of the liberal freeholders have been held in various parts of the county during the past week. The return of one Anti-Tory at least (Mr. Luke White) is almost quite certain. WEXFORD COUNTY.—A meeting of the various Liberal clubs existing throughout this county was to have been held this day at Enniscorthy, at which it was the intention to put Sir Thomas Esmonde in nomination for the county. The worthy Baronet is a decided Anti-Tory ; and, should he consent to stand, has every chance of being returned with Mr. Maher, another Re former. DONEGAL COUNTY.—Reports are still in circulation, that this county will be contested by Lord Chichester and Captain Hart. The friends of the late Tory Members are very san guine in their expectation that there will be no contest. CARLOW. — Colonel Bruen, in his address to the county electors, and Mr. F. Bruen, to those of the borough, have put forth statements the most jesuitical which had yet appeared, not even excepting the " Tamworth Manifesto." They are known, however, to be enrolled members of the Conservative Society, and the former was one of those who figured on the platform at the Orange meeting in Dublin, last August. Mr. O'Connell slept in Fermoy last night, and will reach Dublin this night. CASHEL.—Mr. Leigh Perrin arrived in town this day, and announces his return as certain. _ _ KILKENNY_ CITY (Five o'clock).—lntelligence has just reached town that Mr. Fletcher has resigned, and that Mr. O'Sullivan has been returned. The news has also arrived that Mr. Martin has been re. turned for Sligo, without opposition. BAKEWELL, JAN. 12. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. - _ beg to acquaint you that our election for North Derbyshire is just concluded, by the return of the old Mem bers—Mr. Cavendish and Mr. Gisborne, no opposition having been offered by the Tories.—Your very obedient servant, B. J. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1835. CAMBRIDGE, JAN. 12. This being the day fixed for the nomination, the Sheriff, Richard Huddleston, Esq., opened the business at the County Hall, and then proceeded to the hustings on Parker's Piece. About half-past eleven o'clock the banners of Eliot York, Esq., and - Eaton, Esq., the Tory candidates, appeared, fol lowed shortly afterwards by those of R. G. Townley, Esq., and J. W. Childers, Esq., the old representatives for the county. The Sheriff called on any gentleman to come for ward who had a candidate to propose. ALGERNON PEYTON, Esq., proposed to the electors their old Member, Mr. Townley. He alluded in his address to the services which that gentleman had rendered to the county, and also to the party opposed to him now in the Administration. ,) , Ir. Peyton's address was lengthened, and received throughout with the applause of the liberal portion of the electors. Hawx vis, Esq., seconded the nomination. Sir C. E. SMITII proposed J. W. Childers, Esq., and the nomination was seconded by Mr. FRYER. It was received with loud cheers. Colonel PEMBERTON proposed Eliot Yorke ; and the no mination was seconded by Mr. GRIDLESTONE. PAGE, Esq., then proposed R. Eaton, Esq., and this was seconded by Mr. BALLS. Mr. TOWNLEY first addressed the electors, and expressed the great pleasure he felt, when first returned to Parliament, in supporting the Government of Earl Grey. He was opposed to the present Ministry, not from factious opposition, but from a desire to benefit the country at large.—( Cheers.) He al luded to his past conduct, and enumerated the various acts of the late Administration, stating, at the same time, that they preserved the peace of England, which was more than could, be expected from the present Ministry. He stated himself fa vourable to the repeal of the malt tax, having voted for its repeal ; but he did not go into the House in a few nights af terwards and undo what had been previously done.—( Cheers. ) He was interested in the welfare of the farmer, and would do everything in his power to benefit them ; but he considered their present distress arising in a great measure from the alte ration in the currency,—having to pay debts in specie which had been contracted in times when the currency was extended by means of paper money. The remaining portion of Mr. Townley's address was an explanation of his political conduct hitherto pursued, and a confident hope of being again returned as a representative for this county.—( Loud cheers.) J. W. CHILDERS, Esq. next addressed the electors. He thanked them for the support he had received at the previous election, and hoped again to be their Representative, as a sup porter of that line of policy which had been pursued by the late Ministers.—( Cheers.) It had been said that they were turned out by reason of their being incompetent ; but did the people think so ?—(" No, no.") He then alluded to the se cession of Mr. Stanley, and the other members of the Cabi net, stating that the late Government had not only to contend againsi Tories, but also against disunion in their own party. It was impossii for Sir Robert Peel to carry any measures of benefit to the country, Lzoause his colleagues would not let him, if he were so inclined. If a.r.! present Administration brought forward good measures, he would itipport them, but of this he entertained considerable doubts ; if, however, they followed the same line of policy they had hitherto done, he must give them his determined opposition.—( Cheers.) He then mentioned the various taxes which the late Administra tion had taken off; and although a great cry had been raised about the Malt Tax, he begged the electors to consider t hat Sir Robert Peel had expressed his intention not to take it off. —( Cheers.) If it could be ascertained that another tax would not be put on the farmer, equally oppressive with that tax, if it were taken off, then he would vote for its repeal.—( Cheers. ) Mr. Childers concluded by expressing a hope that at the close of the poll, he should prove that his confidence in the elec tors was not misplaced, when he anticipated a majority in his favour.--( Loud cheers.) ELIOT YORKE, Esq. addressed the electors, and mentioned that His Majesty having dismissed the late Administration, they were succeeded by men who would do their duty to the King, and also to their country,_( Cheers.) He stated the pleasure he should feel in representing the county, and had not come forward without having first subjected himself to that self-examination necessary for the importance of the il4)r h should have to perform. Mr. Yorke proceeded to pull out a piece of brief-paper, (being a barrister) and desired to read several extracts he had made from a speech of Lord Brougham ; but the confusion was so great, he was obliged to desist, and wind up his speech by calling on the electors for that support which they bad formerly given to his brother, now the Earl of Hardwicke. R. EATON briefly addressed the electors, and expressed himself a supporter of the present Government, but he did not go into a long detail, saying that his future acts would prove better than words the sincerity of his intentions. The Sheriff decided the show of hands to be in favour of Townley, Yorke, and Eaton. The polling commences on Thursday. WINCHESTER, JAN. 12. The election of two Knights to represent the northern divi sion of Hampshire took place this day at the County Hall. As there was no opposition expected the meeting was not so numerous as we have witnessed. P. ST. JOHN MILDMAY, Esq., M.P. for Winchester, came forward amidst loud and long continued cheering to propose his friend Charles Shaw Lefevre. That honourable gentle man's conduct was before the electors, and he would venture to say, that there was not in the late Parliament a snore useful member, or one more constant at his post. E. W. Blunt, Esq., of Kempshott Park, seconded the nomination. _ G. P. Jervoise, Esq., nominated, and Sir Henry Tichbourn seconded, Mr. Scott. Mr. Bunn, of Burghclare, contended that the late mem bers had not done their duty, or redeemed the pledges which they made previous to the last election. One of them had promised to vote for the repeal of the malt -tax, who, on that question being submitted to the House, voted for its repeal, and then, at the beck of the Minister voted to put it on again. The other was seldom in Parliament. The speaker then charged the late members with truckling to the Duke of Wellington, by voting for the Kingsclose ludo sure Bill, and thought their reward was the withdrawal of the Tory candidate fur the representation of the county, Mr. Knight. He entreated the electors to send to Parliament not one of the Squierarchy, but a man of business, and recom mended as a fit person to represent them Mr. John Cobbett, which announcement was received with peals of laughter, and concluded by requesting some gentleman to second his nomi nation, but no one appearing, the Sheriff declared Messrs. Lefevre and Scott duly elected. Mr. LEFEVRE, on coming forward, was received with great applause. He thanked the electors for the honour which they had again conferred upon him, which, to him, was a proof that they were satisfied he had done his duty. He had given his general support to the late Ministers, because he believed them to have been honest in their intentions, and desirous of doing justice to the country. He had differed from them in some things, and had voted against them on the subject of triennial parliaments and the enquiry into the pension list, and he trusted before many months the country would see them restoredto office. The country was now aware of the difficulties with which the Whigs had been surrounded, and how they were checked at every step by the House of Lords. They had done much, and would have done more, had they remained in office. They had prospectively abolished the Pension List, and they had not quartered a single unmerited pensioner on the country. They would have introduced measures for the commutation of tythes, reforms in the Church of England and of that of Ire land, and; what was, he was sure, very desirable to the people of Winchester, Corporation Reform.—( Loud applause. ) With the manifesto of Sir Robert Peel he was dissatisfied ; nor did he believe that honourable gentleman and his col leagues could retain office four months. He denied that as Chairman of the Committee on the Kingsclose Inclosure he acted with partiality to the Duke of Wellington, but had sought to do justice to all parties concerned. Mr. SCOTT expressed his want of confidence in the present Ministry, and his determination to support those principles which first recommended him to the confidence of the electors of Hampshire. Mr. H. MARSII, in an address of great wit and humour, oc cupied the attention of the meeting for some time. Thanks having been voted to the Sheriff, S. R. Jarvis, the meeting dispersed quietly. DUBLIN. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Mr. John O'Connell, one •of the very few Catholics who were set down for Sheriffs, has been unceremoniously su perseded, and a Mr. Bland, who held a subordinate place in the list, sworn in as High Sheriff of Kerry. The pretence of this insulting proceeding is, that Mr. O'Connell is the father of one of the candidates for the county ; but that is only a pretence, for the election will be over before he comes into office. The real cause is, that he is a brother of Dan and a Papist. Mr. Bland, who is put forward in his place is a member of an old family in the county, and a near relative of the late Mrs. Jordan (autrefois Miss Bland), of Drury-lane Theatre ; and by that knot, an Irish cousin of certain branches of the Royal Family. To the credit of his Irish pride, it must be stated that he has been at all times most reluctant to acknowledge the connection. Lord Ingestrie is said to be at Ciirraghmore, the resi dence of his brother-in-law, Lord Waterford, lying by for an opportunity of repairing his defeat at Hertford, by trying his luck at an Irish county. But as Mr. Villiers Stuart is a candidate, together with Messrs. Galwey and Power, for Waterford, the hopes of the Noble Lord, if he is in earnest, are but slender. The Sheriff of Wexford has been so accommodating as to fix the election for the 21st instant, two days after Lord Loftus, one of the candidates, shall have completed his 21st year. This delay will be of no avail in that most indepen dent and determined county, which is the last place in Ireland where a boy would be entrusted with a man's errand. The blood of the Fosters is boiling up in Louth. They have set up no less than two candidates, Mr. Skeffingtou Foster and his cousin- German, Mr. Rodolph de Salis. The Tory papers say that the mother of the last-named gentle man, Countess de Salis, left town in post-haste last week to canvass for her son. As this is supposed to be the Queen's Parliament, the Ladies are very busy everywhere. The probable result of the Louth election may be judged from the pledge—the only one—offered by Mr. Foster in his ad dress, that, in case of another rejection, he will insist on a rigorous scrutiny. " Sackvilles alone anticipate defeat, And ere they dare the battle, sound retreat." The Portarlington election is over, and Colonel Dawson Darner has been returned without opposition. This gentle man, a brother of Lord Portarlington, stood on the Reform interest in 1832, and was beaten by Mr. Gladstone, a perfect stranger, but a known Tory ; for Portarlington is a town of dandies and fanatics ' • and though Colonel Darner was bro ther of the landlord, his supposed Whiggism (Whigs being then in power) was fatal to him. Never was a more unjust exclusion, for the Hon. Gentleman is like Captain Burton, neither a Whig nor Tory, but seems to make it a point of duty to profess the principles of the dominant party, whatever those may be. His address to the electors on this occasion contained the following renewal of professions. I suppose it was written before Mr. Gladstone's resignation : " So short a time has elapsed since I had the honour of ex pressing to you what were my political sentiments, that I feel I have upon this occasion little to do, save to inform you that I am still actuated by an ardent wish to Reform," &c. He was elected on Friday, and made a solemn confession of confidence in the present Ministry ! Let the Whigs come in before the next election, and he will be a patriot again ; for such seems to be the golden rule of all the Dawson family— whoever is miller, they are dogs. The Limerick election has terminated in the return of the Messrs. Roche. A petition is threatened by the Corporation, on the ground that the bungling Tories neglected to test the writ, and the Sheriffs, who are the tools of the Corporation, proceeded to the election, though aware that the document was without a date. _ _ . The Waterford city election► has been delayed, in conse quence of another blunder of the marvellous clever and accu rate fellows who have taken the direction of affairs into their hands. They directed the Sheriffs to return one Member, not choosing to remember that the Reform Bill had given two to Watel ford. It was a natural error for statesmen to fall into, who intend to " carry out Reform" in the spirit of the Tamworth address. The wish was father to the thought. A brother of Colonel De Lacy Evans is a candidate, along with Mr. Wallace, for Carlow county. The Tory candidates and their backers threaten all sorts of vengeance upon their tenants should they vote against their " natural protectors I" The people know by bitter experience what it is to provoke the vindictive malice of a Tory proprietor, and several of them are hesitating between their inclinations and the legal harry ings and exterminations which must ensue should they vote as they wish. The election begins on the 13th, and that impor tant portion of the electoral body, the Lancers, have already marched into the county town. Should the contest end in the return of Bruen and Cavanagh, it will be the effect of sheer slave-driving. The marriage of Lord Norreys with Miss Harcourt took place on the 7th inst., at Nuneham Courtenay. The ceremony was performed by the Archbishop of York in the parish church, and was attended by a large party which was assembled for the occasion. The Earl and Countess of Abing don, Lady Charlotte Bertie, Mr. and Lady Georgiana Bertie, Lady Emily Bathurst, and other near relations of both families were present. Several distinguished guests had also come to celebrate the happy event ; amongst whom were the Dukes of Bedford and Wellington, the Earl and Countess of Sand wich, Lord Leveson, the Hon. W. Bathurst, Mr. Anson, the Warden of All Souls', &c. Lord and Lady Norreys left Nuneham afterwards for Wytham Abbey. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 6th inst. reports from Vienna, 30th of December, that Baran Von Cetto, Ba varian Ambassador at that Court, is recalled, and will go as Ambassador to London, and Baron Von Lerchenfeld, late Minister of Finance, is to be his successor. Count St. Aulaire the French Ambassador, will leave us in a few days, and is not expected to return, though his successor is not known. We have an official account of the reported insurrection in Albania, which seems to be much exaggerated. SUDDEN DEATH.—A fine young man, the son of Mr. Hammond, the proposer of Mr. Angerstein, on Saturday was on the hustings in apparent good health and high spirits— early on Sunday he was a corpse. The cause of his death is attributed to the rupture of a blood vessel in the head, pro duced by the great excitement of the contest. - - A calculating Yankee, hearing that the cholera was approaching New Orleans, and judging that its ravages were likely to be extensive, actually chartered a vessel with coffins which arrived before the disease had made its appearance, to he no pall astonishment of the consignee. LITERATURE. HISTORY OF THE BRITISH COLONIES Vol. 111. By R. MONTGOMERY MARTIN, F. S. S. London : Cochrane and Co. The present volume of this able work—the accumu lated study and research of years, judging from the extraordinary mass of historical, geographical, and sta tistical information which it comprises—contains a history of the British possessions in North America — generally speaking, the best known of all our colonial possessions. " Voyages" to, and from America— " Travels" in, and through every state in North and South America—" Rides," " Drives," " Hunts," and " - Wanderings" in America—" Residences" for every conceivable number of days, weeks, months, and years in America—" Excursions " in the United States—in Upper and Lower Canada—in the Back Settlements :—all these, with fifty other tedious disqui sions on the animal, vegetable, and mineral produc tions of America—myriads of treatises on the con stitution, laws, customs, habits, manners, feelings. tastes, and fancies of the Americans, have been pub lished in such numbers, every year within our recol lection, that at present the announcement of a book on America claims no more attention than a puff on the " brilliancy" of Warren's jet manufacture. Book makers, by profession, are never at a loss for mate rials for a couple of handsome octavos on America. All emigrants who can scrawl over three pages of foolscap write long letters to their friends from America—which the said friends always contrive to have published in the newspapers ; and statesmen and orators are sure to bundle themselves and audiences off to America, as soon as they find they have nothing to illus trate their arguments with in England. All this is annoying, troublesome, and vexatious to an incon ceivable extent : and yet it includes not one-half of what we are annually obliged to hear, and put up with about America. If a fellow insults you by his rude ness he justifies it with some remark about the free - dom which all men enjoy in America: if you chide your servant for neglecting your business, or require more res pect paid to your orders, it is fifty to one but he corre sponds with some friend in a similar employment to himself in America, and the answer you receive is a letter from the Trans-Atlantic domestic explaining to his former associate how such orders are spurned in that land of liberty : and if your banker makes up his mind to relieve you entirely of the charge of your property in his hands, the first tidings you are likely to learn of him is that he has made his escape to Ame rica. Cobbett has written about eighty volumes of " Registers" in almost every article of which America is quoted, instanced, referred to, appealed to, lauded, or, in some form or other, made to furnish examples, anecdotes, or arguments, for that multifarious writer. Had we authority to reckon the writing of " Re gisters" among the works of inspiration, we should pronounce America " Cobbett's Muse"—for the apo theosis of a continent, capable of such wonders as America, would be nothing wonderful in the mythology of modern authors. But great indeed would be our regret were we to learn, that the apathy which the reading public evinces towards works on America had extended itself to the perusal of the excellent and useful publication now before us. Mr. Montgomery Martin is by far the ablest, and by a thousand times the most instructive writer who has yet attempted to be ranked as the his torian of our colonies in either the old or new world. His range of information is as wide as the subject re quires ; his attention to minute facts as unwearied as it is invaluable ; and the arrangment of his statistical tables, so as to give every information at a single glance, as ingenious as it is judicious. The only part of his work—and a most important part it is—on which we differ with him, is in his opinions of the right conclusions to be drawn from the statements which he lays down, and the facts which he adduces. In the two preceding volumes of this work, these opi nions if we remember rightly, were not so avowedly expressed as they are in the volume before us ; and we think, as an impartial historian, that the author acted most prudently where he kept them entirely to himself. Arguments which seem intended to suit the purposes of a party, and epithets which, without distortion, would bear a personal application, are not the best guarantees which the avowed recorder of facts can offer of either his impartiality or his disinterestedness. Now it requires no person to look beyond the introduction of this volume, to discover the arguments and epithets above alluded, and which certainly wear a different aspect coming from the pen of an historian, from what they would if appearing in the leading article of a newspaper, or the pages of a magazine. Let those who think we are disposed to treat the author with undue severity, because he evinces a marked predilec tion for Toryism—though he declares himself the ad herent of no party—judge of our impartiality by the following brief extract : " It is indeed high time that the destinies'of England ceased to be confided to theorists—false economists, and political mountebanks, who have made every possible effort within the last few years to destroy our colonial commerce—at one mo ment threatening to destroy the Canada timber trade--at an other the Cape of Good Hope wine trade—and passively look ing on, or pretending to consult Crown Lawyers, when French vessels of war were expelling by force peaceful British Fisher men from the coast of their own island of Newfoundland." We have fairly extracted the above paragraph, which stands separately as one in the original, and we leave the public to judge whether such epithets as arc here applied to Earl Grey's government are such as an im partial historian would be justified in using. The threatened ruin of the trade with Canada is charitably ascribed by the author, in a note at the bottom of the page, " to placing a young Baltic merchant at the head of the Board of Trade," or, in other words, to the stupidity of the Cabinet, and the cupidity of Mr. Poillett Thompson. These allusions, we presume to think, had better have been avoided, when the author was not prepared to combat the free-trade-system, advo cated by the late President of the Board of Trade, with any stronger argument than an inference, as un worthy of him who drew it, as we believe it to be groundless. It is hardly conceivable what ruin could follow, except to companies of monopolists, for whom the interests of the working classes are constantly being sacrificed, were the trade between Great Britain and Canada to terminate to-morrow, save on principles of mutual reciprocity. The people of Canada sell us bad timber at an exorbitant price, and in return we oblige them to take our tea at treble the cost at which they could purchase it in the United States. The consequence of this is, that hardly one of our ships i s seaworthy after a fourth or fifth voyage, and the country is taxed to an enormous amount to sup port a fleet which is only serviceable in filling the purses of Canadian timber companies : whereas the only persons who gain by the tea monopoly is the merchants who trade in that commodity. Between these two classes of monopolists the interests of the mechanic and the labourer are alike forgotten or dis regarded. Buy where you can purchase cheapest, and sell where you can dispose of dearest, is the maxim which we have always recommended to individuals, and to nations, which are only aggregates of individuals. We have here given the only objection to which this work is liable, even from the most liberal, which are as atoms in the sun when compared with its great surp a ssing excellence as a book of national utility. The style is easy throughout ; generally pure, and sometimes more than elegant—particularly in the de scriptive ?arts, which are sometimes given with much force, vivacity of fancy, and great beauty. The infor mation regarding the public press, the public and pri vate schools, and the monetary system, is well worth the consideration of the British Legislsture. LHE GUIDING STAR ; AND OTHER TALES. Hunt, St. Paul's Church-yard. 1835. A neat little volume, intended for children, bearing the impress of being written by some member of the Hibernian Bible Society. The first tale is, however, the only objectionable one, being evidently intended to suit a sectarian purpose. The others are pretty, and inculcate the spirit of religious austerity, in a style and by examples within the comprehension of very young children. THE PRACTICAL ELOCUTIONIST. RP ALEXANDER BELL, PROFESSOR OF ELOCUTION. London: Sherwood. Gilbert and Piper. 1835. This book promises to become popular in our pub . . .. lic and private schools, as well from its improved sys tem of punctuation, as from its selection of passages in prose and poetry, from the writings and speeches of modern statesmen, orators, poets, and travellers, which of course will procure for it a more willing patronage. The various pieces have been selected with care, and are so brief that each of them might be committed to memory in a few hours. This is a great advantage in a book of this description. It is very handsomely got up in black-watered silk—we would recommend the covering as a model to publishers—and is altogether well adapted for the purpose for which it is designed. THE NATURAL HISTORY OF BIRDS. By ROBERT MUDIE. London: Orr and Smith, Paternoster Row. An excellent work for children and young persons, from the pen of a very useful and intelligent writer. Mr. Mudie is favoured with the talent of rendering whatever he writes interesting, even to those who re quire not to read for instruction. His mind is full of his subject ; but he looks at it with the eye of a phi losopher as well as a naturalist, and consequently his observations and inferences are almost as valuable as his facts. The history of British birds is comprised in a very handsome pocket volume, embellished with some hundreds of wood -cuts, very fairly executed. We are acquainted with no work on Ornithology, with the exception of Wilson's, which we can so cordially re commend to parents, governesses, tutors, and heads of public schools, for the use of the youth committed to their charge, in order to improve their minds with the rudiments of this branch of natural history, as the vo lume before us. It is neither so learned nor so elabo rate as the treatise of Cuvier ; but the style is much more animated, and the various descriptions of the fea thered tribes are rendered familiar to the most juvenile capacity. MY SKETCH BOOK. No. VI. BY GEORGE CRUIKSH4Nr. Tilt, Fleet-street. Cruikshank's humour is as inexhaustible as his satire ; and he possesses both in a more equal if not in a greater degree, than any other caricaturist of a past or present age. In a limited sense all caricature is satire, and, so far, humour and satire are one and the same ; but they cease to be the same when pushed to extremities ; and, in the extremes, seldom or never meet in the same mind. There is an inherent acer bity about the keenest satire, which rejects humour as too feeble a weapon with which to attack an opponent or an abuse ; and in minds teeming with a flow of the richest humour, there is not enough of the gall and wormwood of a morbid imagination to engender satire which shall not only cut, but lacerate. Juvenal was ,the severest satirist the world ever saw ; he was a moral butcher, but he had not a drop of humour in his composition : Rabelais and Cervantes were both ini mitable humourists, yet their satire only seemed the seasoning of their wit—they only tickled, where the Roman would have flayed. Here we have the ex tremes. Fielding and Smollett were both keen satirists, and exquisite humourists ; but in both the love of satire predominated. In Dr. liVolcott they were more nearly balanced, but to a well ordered, reflecting mind the pain occasioned by the perusal of his pieces, is fully equal to the pleasure—yea, more than equal, for almost every person feels that some portion or other of them applies to himself. Of the rare combination of satirical and humorous powers in the mind of Cruikshank, we have a fine illustration in the " Antiquarian," and the " Atheist" in the first plate of the present number. The Anti quarian, with spectacles on nose, with his face turned directivbel►ind him, and his feet following the direction of his pigtail ; and again in a sitting attitude, he is so engaged scrutinizing an old coin resting on the palm of his hand, that he takes not the slightest notice of a dog-hunted scape-grace, who is planting his foot on his head. This is humour, rich and original. On the other side, the Atheist, his hands. behind his back, a walking stick under his arm, and wearing an ass' head, which has the eyes bandaged, and the mouth open, is walking over a precipice at the bottom of which there is the outline of immense waves. And here we have the satire unrelieved by the slightest touch of humour. The "Written Apology," aria " How we Steamers do go along to be sure,"—the former representing the interior of a country school, with a mother-written apology to the Dominic for the absence of an original looking little urchin ; and the latter exhibiting a tea kettle, dashing through the waves in company with a steam-boat, are remarkably good. " Seeing double" is a mere burlesque. The expression of the drunkard's countenance has more of pain than pleasure in it. In plate 2, " A Servant Girl of other days,' and a Ser vant Girl now-a-days"—" Brewing mischief"—" The Toad Eater,"—and the " Wreath"—are all good. In plate 3, the best are " Buy a broom," and the " Porters." The " Bath Coach" is too common place. " First Steps " are sufficiently amusing ; while the introduction of the bear-dance is another exemplification of the commingling of the satirical with the humourous in " Cruikshanks Sketches" DEATH OF MR. JUSTICE TAUNTON.—We re gret to announce the death of Mr. Justice Taunton. This melancholy event occurred at a late hour (half-past eleven o'clock) on Sunday evening. This able and distinguished lawyer never enjoyed a robust constitution, but his death was, we understand, both sudden and unexpected. The announce ment in the Courts of Westminster Hall yesterday morning created great and general regret. The appointment of the Rev. Thomas Dale to the living of St. Bride's by Sir Robert Peel, has given the most lively satisfaction to the inhabitants of the parish. We have been assured, on good author ity, that had his appointment taken place a few days earlier, at least a hundred votes would have been gained from that parish to the Conservative cause at the last City election. —Morning Paper. IMPORTANT POST-OFFICE ARRANGEMENT._ We understand that after the beginning of April, the Royal mail will arrive here about four o'clock p.m., instead of Line as at present. This is in the meantime to be effected, not by any acceleration, nor by shortening the route, but by detach ing the North mail from London at three o'clock in the after noon, instead of eight o'clock in the evening. The evening papers are published about that hour, and of course will be despatched by that conveyance. This arrangement has been suggested by the demands for branch mails through various districts of the country, which could not make a remunerating return to the Post-Office—and in particular to obviate the ne cessity of a mail from Perth to Inverness by the Highland road, which has been so called for of late. By the proposed arrangement, the mail will arrive at Inverness, by its present circutious route, exactly twenty-four hours after it reaches Perth—being fully earlier than it could by the Highland road, were no alteration of the despatch from the south and other quarters to be made; and in fact every advantage will be obtained, as to the course of post and delivery, which could arise from the expensive establishment of a mail-coaeli through the Highlands.—Perthshire Courier. Those who profess to he in the secr,3, confidently give out that the dissolution of the IEI4 Ilarliament was con trary to the opinions of the PrimeAlinister and the Lord Chancellor, COURT CIRCULAR.

Clerk of the Closet. Prayers were read by the Rev. Dr. Everar and a most eloquent sermon was preached by the Rev. J. S. 31 : Anderson from the Ist Peter, chap. ii. verse 16, " As free and no t using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but as servants of God." Shortly after divine service Colonel Wemyss was honoured with an audience of the King. The King took an airing this afternoon in a close carriage an d four, preceded by outriders. Yesterday their Majesties took a ea:Tiage airing to Patch before dinner. The dinner party yesterday evening comprised the Earl an d Countess Somers, Lord Western, the Earl and Countess of Cis' rendon, Lord and Lady Wharnclifie, and the Dowager Countess of Mulgrave. On Friday evening Captain Phipps, Earl and Countess Somers; General Phipps, Sir Pulteney Malcolm, Colonel Cavendish, an d Captain Campbell had the honour of dining with their Majesties.

The Landgravine of Hesse Homburg and the Princess August , continue at the Palace in the enjoyment of good health. No tine is fixed for the arrival of the Duchess of Gloucester, but her Roy's' Highness is expected soon.

The Earl of Chichester has been appoint' . his successor. Monday, Jan. 12. Their Majesties continue to enjoy good health and spirits. 111 the afternoon of yesterday the King, accompanied by the Landry vine of Hesse Homburg, drove out along the cliffs between 1 -101 e and Kemp-town.

Sir Francis paid his respects to their Majesties. The damage done to Mr. Wigney's house, in East-street, by tb . mob, is considerable, the plat e glass being entirely destroyed in th e lower windows. The weather this evening most inviting, in consequence th e drives and promenades are crowded with fashionables. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY•) (FROM LLOYD'S.)
