~-.~_ MONMQUTII ELECTION. At the sitting of the Committee this morning, Mr. Sergeant )6erewether, the counsel for the petitioner, said he and his Learned Friends were not disposed to continue the scrutiny ; they might have gone for some time longer, but as they saw no clear prospect of success, they would not put the other party to• unnecessary expense. The Committee accordingly resolved—That B. Hall, Esq., had been duly elected for Mon mouth ; and that neither the petition nor the opposition to it Was frivolous or vexatious. PRIVY COUNCIL.-(THIS DAY.) The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council sat to-day at th e Council Chamber, Whitehall. Their LORDSHIPS proceeded to hear the further arguments in the part-heard appeal of Swift v. Kelly, tb. facts of which We gave when the case first came before tteir Lordships. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The MASTER of the RoLLF4. sat to-day, at the Rolls' Court, Chancery-lane. His HONOUR, after swearing in the solicitors, proceeded to hear the unopposed petitions, none of which were of any in terest, KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) ARMSTRONG V. PYKE AND ANOTHER. Mr. TIIESSIGER (with whom was Mr. CUMMIN) stated the case. It was an action to recover a sum of 301,, money lent by the plaintiff to the defendant, who is an attorney, and who brings a set-off of business done to the amount of 421. 17s. 9d. In 1834 the plaintiff was engaged in negotiating the sale of a school, the property of a deceased brother, and employed the defendant, who was at the time carrying on business in Uni versity-street, in partnership with a Mr. Bromley, to make a settlement with the purchaser, Mr. Hutchins. The proceeds amounted to 1391., and when the defendant was paying the money to the plaintiff, he asked the loan of 301., which the plaintiff gave him, receiving Pyke's I 0 U as an acknowledg ment. Mr. Bromley, Pyke's partner, was not in town at the time, but, on his return, in consequence of a conversation which the plaintiff had with him, he was induced to press Pyke for payment. After various attempts to see him, Mr. Hooker, the plaintiff's attorney, obtained an interview with him at the house of his father, Mr. Pyke, the law-agent of Chancery-lane. Mr. Hooker said he came for payment of the plaintiff's I 0 LT ; and the defendant said, " Anything between us must be without prejudice." Hooker would not assent to this, and the defendant said he should have a witness, and called his father Mr. Pyke, sen. The defendant then said he could not pay the money until a Chancery suit, out of which he was to receive 300/. or 400/., was decided, and he subsequently offered a sum of 10/. in part payment ; adding, if Mr. Arm strong did not give him time for the remainder, he should cer tainly make out a bill against him. In this bill a sum of 20/. Was demanded for negotiating the sale of the school, although Mr. Bromley, the former partner of the defendant, had admit ted to Mr. Hooker that two guineas would be ample payment. Mr. Hooker was examined, and proved the facts stated by Counsel. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL (with whom was Mr. Busily) addressed the Jury for the defendant. The defendant had never denied his liability, but he would satisfactorily prove that a larger sum was due him for business done for the plaintiff. Several witnesses were examined ; among whom was _ Garrett Sheridan, who stated that he was formerly clerk to Mr. Pyke, senior. He recollected Armstrong calling upon the defendant, and asking the loan of 101., as there were some executions out against him. The defen dant refused, saying that Armstrong owed him some money already. Plaintiff replied, " I have given you 30/. on account ;" and Mr. Pyke said, " I have not made out my Bill yet. I shall not advance you any more." On his cross examination, the witness said he had been in trouble in last March about putting in sham-bail, lie had been admitted as evidence against the party, and they had been convicted. Lord DENMAN, in summing sip observed, that no evidence had been given as to the set-oft . of 421. 17s. 9d., and the ques tion of credibility rested between Mr. Hooker and Sheridan. As the defendant had not called his father who was present at the conversation, and who was likely to be the best possible witness for his son, tine Jury must presume that what Mr. Hooker had stated, was true in every particular. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, 271. 18s., de ducting 21. 2s. as the defendant's, claim for selling the school for the plaintiff. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. Ro 7 dert Clark, aged 56, indicted for a rape upon Mary Patten, aged only eight years. wentevidenc e o f th e c hild, w hi c h i s un fi t f or pu bli cat i on , vrnt t o prove the charge, which was corroborated to some ex tent by the mothe r . Mr. John Leeson,. a surgeon, who has recently drawn pub lic attention t owar d s h im on account of his publishing a theory of his own, stated that the commission of such offence is im possible, and examined the child about a week after the as satlt, and delivered an opinion accordant with his peculiar views upon such cases. The prisoner denied the charge. Mr. Baron BOLLAND summed up. The Jury, after a few minutes consultation, acquitted the prisoner. John Sadling, aged 19, was indicted for stabbing, cutting, and wounding Catherine Shury, with intent to kill and murder. A second count charged him with intent to do her some grie vous bodily harm—a third with intent to resist lawful appre hension for robbery. The prosecutrix stated that she resides at No. 4, Love-lane, Lower Thames-street, and is a married woman. On the even ing of Saturday, the 6th of June, she was watching the arrival of steam-vessels upon Fresh Wharf, with one of her children, when she felt the prisoner making an attempt to pick her pocket, having lift e d up her gown for that purpose. She seized his hand in the very act; and he immediately drew a knife fro m his pocket, with which he stabbed her in the face. Sh e screamed for assistance, and he then struck her with his fist, and :Again attempted to stab her ; but she warded off the blow, which fell upon her shawl and cut it. Cross-examined by Mr. DOANE (for the defence)—There Were several persons about. John Ravenscroft, an officer employed on Fresh Wharf, hearing the cries of the last witness and her child, ran to her assistance. She was bleeding from the face, and the blood had fallen upon the child. He seized the prisoner, and a rush was made, but he held him fast.- The knife now produced was afterwards picked up near the spot. The prosecutrix was recalled, and having examined the knife, declared it to be the same the prisoner used. It was a small double-bladed penknife. Mr. Croft, a surgeon, stated that he examined the wound in the face of the last witness, and dressed it. It was near the temperal artery, but was not of itself serious. It was such a wound as the knife produced would inflict. The prisoner, who is a foreigner, in his defence, said he was as innocent as a baby. The prisoner's landlady gate him a good character. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE summed up, and the Jury returned a verdict of Guilty on the second count. NEW COURT. John Fry, aged 30, and James Weeks, aged 40, were in dicted for stealing one bushel of oats, the property of William 'Brooks. The prosecutor, an extensive corn-dealer in Brunswick square, stated that the prisoner Fry was a cab proprietor, and was in the habit of dealing with him for corn. On the day mentioned in the indictment the prisoners came to his ware house to remove some corn Fry had purchased, and on that occasion the oats in q uestion were taken away. The case was quite clear, and the jury returned a verdict of Guilty, but recommended the prisoners to mercy on account of their previous good character. The COMMON SERGEANT said he should attend to the recom mendation of the jury, although he could not concur in it. SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

I can not so positively affirm anything, but I beg to ask, whether this Mr. Bignold be the Mr. Bignold commonly known as the chief supporter of Stormont and Scarlett, and the great ad vocate for purity of election in the pure Norwich contests— whether this Mr. Bignold be the, Mr. Bignold who has the sole controul of the affairs and funds of the Norwich Union Life Insurance Company—whether this Mr. Bignold be the Mr. Bignold who chiefly manages the funds of the Norwich and Norfolk Joint Stock Bank? If this be the same Gentleman, and any of your Correspon dents will assure me of the fact, I have a few more ques tions in reserve. A LIFE INSURER. Harleston, June 17, 1835. LITERARY FUND. The forty-seventh anniversary of this Society was celebrated yesterday at Freemasons' Hall, Great Queen-street ; his Grace the Duke of Somerset, President, in the chair. Among the company assembled, we noticed Lord Teignmouth, Baron Ompteda, M. Van de Weyer, Sir J. Chatterton, Sir William Beetham, Sir J. Barrow, Sir H. Nicolas, V. Smith, Esq., M. P., H. Praed, Esq., M. P., T. Wyse, Esq. M. P., W. Tooke, Esq., M. P., J. T. Leader, Esq., M. P., Dr. Croly, Dr. Roget, D. Wilkie, Esq., R. A., Mr. Macready, &c. &c. After the customary loyal and patriotic toasts had been drunk with the usual honours, the Noble Chairman proposed " Suc cess to the Literary Fund." The Rev. Dr. CROLY entered into a minute detail of the principles by which the Society was influenced, and specified in a general manner many interesting cases of the advantages it had conferred upon the different individuals connected with English literature in reduced circumstances, but with a deli cate regard for the feelings of those to whom its assistance had been extended. He stated that during the last forty-seven years no less a sum than between 25,0001. and 30,0001. had been received by the Society and expended in the furtherance of its benevolent purpose. This expenditure—entirely the result of private liberality—had been generally attended not only with individual advantage, but society at large had been materially benefited by it. Lord TEIGNMOUTII then briefly proposed " The health of the Noble Chairman," which was appropriately acknowledged. During the evening the following toasts were successively drunk. The healths of Azmi Bey, the patron of the Lancas terian system in Persia, who acknowledged the compliment passed upon him through his interpreter, and stated that full 10,000 children were under the Lancasterian system of in struction in Persia—D. Wilkie, Esq., and the Royal Academy —J. Murchison, Esq., and the Geological Society—The Foreigners who had honoured the nieeting with their presence —Continental Literature—Mr. Macready and the Drama— and the several Officers of the Institution. The TREASURER, on reading the Report, announced that the funds of the Society had been augmented to the amount of upwards of 5001. Among the donations he enumerated, was that of his Majesty, 100 guineas ; the Duchess of Kent, 30 guineas ; Duke of Somerset, 20 guineas ; Lord Teign mouth, 10 guineas ; W. Simpson, Esq., 20 guineas ; Lord A. Conyngham, 10 guineas; Dr. Sutherland, 10 guineas; Sir J. Barrow, 10 guineas, &c. &c. THEATRE-ROYAL, LIVERPOOL. Mr. Kean's engagement closed on Friday night, with Richard 111., and on the preceding Monday he played King John for his benefit, when he was honoured with a highly respectable audience. This play has not been very recently performed on the Liverpool stage. It is by no means so well adapted for representation as most of the other productions o f our great bard. The dramatic unities of time, place, and ac tion, arc sadly violated, one scene being laid in France, and the following one in England. Still there are passages in King John not excelled for power and grandeur by anything in the writings of Shakspeare. We confess that we trembled for the success of Mr. Kean in this part, having previously seen it in the hands of Macready and Vandenhoff, and there being in it little of that spirit-stirring action and energy, adapted to Mr. Kean's genius and style of actin-. He came through the try ing ordeal, however, most triumphantly, and so powerful was the effect of his performance on the house, that when the cur tain fell the cries for Mr. Kean became deafening; he was obliged at length to come forward and receive the congratula tions of the audience. All the characters on that evening were most creditably sustained, while the hero shone with especial lustre. Some of the scenes were fully equal to any portions of his Hamlet, which we consider the ne plus ultra of the art. To particularize the gems which sparkled throughout the tragedy, is almost superfluous, yet we cannot avoid mention ing two or three, which struck us as being pre-eminently bril liant. The address to the citizens of Angiers, urging them to open their gates and admit the English force, was a beauti ful specimen of elocution, and warmly applauded. In the scene between Cardinal Pandulph and the French King, his manner of taunting the Pope's Legate, and his refusal to ac knowledge the authority of the Pope, were equally fine. When the Cardinal at length succeeds in drawing the French Monarch from the league, Mr. Kean's denunciation— " France, thou shalt rue this hour within the hour !" told admirably. In the great scene with Hubert, where he urges the latter to undertake the murder of the young Prince, Mr. Kean put forth all his powers. The dark hints with which he prefaced the disclosure of his murderous project—the man ner in which he strove to win Hubert to his purpose, by pro fessions of attachment and reward—the basilisk style in which he eyed the young Prince, and his exclamation— " He is a very serpent in my way, And whereso'er this foot of mine doth tread, He lies before me !" were redolent of genius, and the effect was indescribable. His manner of uttering the word " Serpent" told that the fate of his victim was sealed. When at length Hubert, after consi derable coyness, professes to understand him, Mr. Kean said— " Enough 1 I could be merry now—Hubert, I love thee," in a way which developed the load of anguish and suspense which that declaration removed from his mind. But the great triumph of Mr. Kean was in the last scene. Any thing more perfectly harrowing we never witnessed. The manner in which he uttered, under the operation of the poison,—. " There is so hot a summer in my bosom, That all my bowels crumble up to dust : I am a scribbled form, drawn with a pen Upon a parchment ; and against this fire Do I shrink up," will leave an impression upon all who heard it not to be ef faced. So acute was the sense of suffering under which he appeared to labour, that the audience felt a real relief when death terminated his agonies—no slight compliment to the powers of Mr. Kean over the feelings of the human heart. We take leave of Mr. Kean with sincere regret, and for the satisfaction which he has afforded us in some of the most trans cendent of Shakspeare's characters, we are duly grateful. He is unquestionably the Shakspearian actor of the day. How strange that while the London critics are loudly complaining of the decline of the drama, and the paucity of talent to sup port its drooping head, one of its brightest ornaments is per mitted to roam over the provinces, instead of holding his rank on the metropolitan boards. A short time must however, see him maintain that post in our national theatres, to which his acomplishments, his genius, his devoted attachment and unre mitting industry in his profession, so fully qualify him to hold. —Liverpool Times. DEATH OF JUDGE VANDELEUIL—The hope was delusive that promised a continuance of life to this most excellent man. He expired yesterday morning, at half-past ten, full of years as he was of honour, deplored by his relatives and friends—regretted by all. As a lawyer, Mr. Vandeleur was profound and erudite—as a judge, dispassionate and impartial ; and the best attributes of our nature stood prominently deve loped in all his actions, whether as a private individual or a public functionary. Even the enemies of law and order—and alas in this unfortunate country, they are too many and too vehement—have not withheld from this estimable and amiable man the tribute of their admiration and respect ; for Judge Vandeleur, although a strict upholder of justice, was a great lover of mercy.—Dublin Evening Mail. EAST INDIA HOUSE.—Yesterday a numerous at tendance of Proprietors of East India Stock took place at the India House, for the purpose of electing a Director in the room of C. Fergusson, Esq., M.P., who had disqualified. More than ordinary interest was evinced by the meeting in the proceedings, as this was the first election, since the renewal of the charter, for placing upon the Court of Directors a mem ber from one of the general body of Proprietors. It was also the first time in which the privilege was granted, under the new Act, for absent Proprietors to vote by proxy. Captain Shepherd and Mr. Francis Warden were the candidates, both of whom had been in office in India for about twenty years, and great exertions had been made by their friend to secure the election of their favourite candidate. A circumstance occurred during the meeting respecting the mode of carrying the new plan of voting by proxy into operation, which, pro bably, may lead to disputes as to the validity of the result of the ballot. Mr. Warden's Committee forwarded proxies for him without specifically stating the amount of stock held by each Proprietor, residing in the country, entitled to vote. Consequently the proxies were sent up incomplete, and a point arose whether the proxies were to be taken as single votes only, though the parties might hold enough stock to entitle them to more than one vote. The Court of Directors re ferred the case to Mr. Sergeant Spankie, the standing Coun sel of the Company, who gave it as his opinion that the proxies alluded to could only be registered as a as teightsingle vtohteesgsc .lasThs weele bal lot. commenced at nine o'clock, and 'closd and delivered to the scrutineers, who reported the elec tion to have fallen on John Shepherd, Esq. ~'~' - -.~- - ..- . - ,- iiHr grog, riiki;*6l4, iIitTRSDAY, ill - NE 18, 1835, COURT CIRCULAR.

IPSWICH ELECTION. The nomination of candidates having been appointed to take place yesterday, the town of Ipswich, at a very early hour, presented a most animated appearance. At nine o'clock the doors of the Town-hall were thrown open, and the crowd, who had been waiting some time, instantly rushed in, and filled every part of the hall. The Whig party took the right hand, and the Tories the left of the building. Each of the candidates on their arrival were loudly_cheered by their re spective friends. J. C. COBBOLD, Esq., the senior bailiff, entreated the meet ing to be silent while the precept and the other formal docu ments were read. With great difficulty his request was com plied with, both parties appearing to be determined to disturb the proceedings of the election. The precept, &c., were then read, and Mr. COBBOLD observed that he again presented himself to the meeting, to entreat them, during the progress of the pro ceedings, to preserve silence, and give every one a fair hearing. The Returning-officers were then sworn, and the Act against bribery and corruption read, many parts of which having reference to the late acts of bribery, caused a loud laugh among the members of the meeting, and created some confusion. Mr. S. ALEXANDER then proposed Mr. Morrison, and said he had no doubt that if the electors acted in unison with their hearts and pledges, Mr. Morrison would be returned by a large majority.—( Cheers.) Mr. BRAME seconded the nomination. He said he thought that the Tory party would have seceded from making an oppo sion, and by so doing, they would have shown their sympathy for those persons who were now suffering punishment, and which sympathy ought to have been shown. He felt that what took place at the last election, and the disclosures which had taken place in the Committee of the House of Commons, left a black stain on his native town, and the only way to re move it was to exercise the elective franchise in a fair and honourable manner, and return Messrs. Morrison and Wason. Mr. SEEKA MP said that it was the fourth time that he ap peared before the electors to recommend Mr. Wason. Twice they elected hire, and the reason they had not chosen him the third time it was not necessary for him to enter into. He re gretted that the indiscretion of their fellow-townsmen had brought them into the difficulty in which they were then placed, and he lamented that those shallow politicians who had led them into that difficulty were walking at liberty, when they ought to be under the same roof with those who were im prisoned.—( Cheers and noise.) He concluded by nominating Mr. Wason. Mr. C. HAMMOND said he begged to second the nomina tion. A great deal had been said about the vindictive con duct of Mr. Morrison and Mr. Wason, but he would ask the electors would they not have prosecuted the conduct of the Tory party at the last election ?—( No, no, no, and uproar.) Then he would tell those who would not have done so that they possessed no honourable feelings. Mr. Morrison and Mr. Wason fairly carried the matter before a committee of the House of Commons, to have it fairly investigated. Eleven Honourable Gentlemen on their .oaths sat 41 days to investi gate the disgusting proceedings—(Cheers and noise)--and the result of that investigation was before them. Now he would ask, would it be believed that Mr. Dundas, a man ex polled from the House, two days after could have the effron tery to come down among the electors of Ipswich ?—( Cheers from one party, and uproar from the other.) Mr. Dundas had the effrontery to come down, and to delivery an inflammatory speech, stigmatizing the Committee of the House of Com mons, and recommending the Blue party to pursue the same course which they did at the last election. Mr. Dundas was kind enough to implicate his friend Mr. Kelly, and to say that he would be down in a few days, and tell the electors how the House of Commons had decided.—( Uproar.) Mr. Dundas had therefore brought his friend into the same scrape as himself. He was astonished that the Blue party were so indecent as to put a gentleman like Col. Broke forward on I this occasion.—( Here Mr. Hale was pointed out by some of the crowd, and cries of " Turn him out," were raised from various parts of the Hall.) He regretted that one of 'the fa mily of Broke should have been brought forward on such an occasion. If he had waited only two or three short months lie should have been glad to have seen the Colonel in the field. He would now find that he had been deceived, for so sure as he was alive he would be beaten by a large majority. Mr. BACON then stepped forward. He said he deeply re gretted, and so did a great majority of the inhabitants of the town, that the decision of the Committee of the House of Commons had deprived them of two most honourable, upright, and c onstitutional Members. Notwithstanding the inhabitants of Ipswich had lost two such men, and notwithstanding the insinuations that had been thrown out against them, their cha racters were without a stain.—(" Hear, hear, hear," from one side, and groaning on the other.) There were two sides to a question, and he was convinced that if the decision of that Committee was to be brought before the twelve judges of the land and an honest jury, it would be condemned. However, the matter had not yet terminated, as the Report of the Com mittee had not been brought before the House of Commons. The charges against their fellow-townsmen would be brought before a Committee of the House of Commons; that House was extremely jealous of its privileg es, and he would warn them to be careful how they exercised their authority. Instead of hearing the charges against their townsmen, they were com mitted to Newgate ; and he put it to the meeting, whether an Englishman should be considered guilty without a trial ? Their committal to Newgate, however, was done not so much with the view of punishing them, as to deprive the two Con servative candidates of their votes at that election. It was n ith great pleasure he stated that he had been deputed by a large majority of the town to put in nomination Col. Broke. He would preserve their rights and privileges, and stand up f o r the protection of the Constitution, which donstitution, he regretted to say, the Ministers did not act upon. Mr. RODWELL seconded the nomination. He said he was bound to acknowledge, upon the decision of the Committee of the House of Commons, that bribery did take place at the last election—( Hear, hear)—and it was now incumbent upon every honest man in the borough to show that he was not afraid to meet the public feeling which prevailed at that time, and that he was anxious to relieve himself from the load of public odium which had been cast upon the inhabitants of the town.— (Loud cheering.) He contended, therefore, that there was no indecency in the Conservatives coming forward on that oc casion, because it showed that they were not afraid to meet any charge that might be alleged against them.—( Hear, hear. ) It had been said that sympathy for those persons who were in confinement should have induced the Conservatives to hold back, but he believed that no committee or body of men would suffer their minds to be so operated upon as to visit those per sons with harsher punishment because independent men choose to exercise their elective franchise honourably and faithfully.— ( Hear, hear.) The black stain on the town must, therefore, not attach exclusively to the party to which he (Mr. Rodwell) belonged. To recede from the contest at that moment would, in fact, be pleading guilty to the charge. Mr. FONNEREAU said he had great pleasure in coming for ward to nominate a gentleman in the Conservative interest, whose long public services entitled him to the support of the town.—( A laugh.) He did so with more pleasure, because since that gentleman had arrived in Ipswich, the stanch friends of the True Blue interest had proved that they did not give credit to the calumnies with which that party was branded. They had not listened to the voice of intimidation, but almost to a man promised that support which they gave to their late Hon. Members Mr. Dundas and Mr. Kelly.—( A laugh.) He would ask what would have been said of the Conservative in terest in the town if they had not come forward after the deci sion of the Committee of the House of Commons ? It would have been said, that branded with infamy, and cognizant of their own unjust proceedings, they were afraid, from feelings of shame, to come forward. The Hon. Gentleman then con cluded by nominating Mr. Holmes.—( Loud cheers and in , terruption.) Mr. CA TT seconded the nomination. Mr. MORRISON then presented himself to the meeting, and was received with loud cheering from the Yellows and hissing from the Blues. He observed that it was important that both sides should be heard when charges of the gravest character had been made. His opponents, however, had the most diffi cult task to perform, and he hoped they would be able to jus tify themselves. He appeared before the electors under very painful circumstances to himself, and it would have agreed very ill with his feelings on any other occasion to have gone at length into the discussion of any political subject. At pre sent, however, there was but one subject which seemed to oc cupy the general attention—he alluded to the late proceedings before the Committee of the House of Commons. Before that Committee bribery was proved to have been practised by the friends and agents of the Members at the last election. The decision of that Committee was so just, that no one could hesitate to come to the same conclusion.—(Confusion.) The Hon. Gentleman then went on to complain that Mr. Bacon, on a former occasion, had questioned the decision of the Com mittee, and impugned its impartiality by stating that it was composed of radicals, papists, and levellers. Such; however, was not the case. Were Mr. P. Stewart, the relative of the Duke of Hamilton, Mr. Campbell, the brother of the Duke of Argyll, or Mr. Ryall, the Member for Mac clesfield, or Mr. Plumptre, the Member for Kent, Radicals or Papists? Or was the grandson of Judge Blackstone to be called a Leveller A person in the crowd said, " What do you say to Mr. Gully r) All that he could say of Mr. Gully was, that he believed him to be a very honourable man. With respect to the decision of the Committee, it had, in many respects, in the opinion of gentle men in Westminster Hall, been ever contrary to precedent, very hostile to them, and, he believed, the respectable part of the community approved of it. The Blues, bold and daring as they had be,n, dared not bribe to-morrow. A lesson had no 4 w been taught them. and if, as impossible for them to u. WINDSOR. JUNE 17.—The Duke of Cambridge took a riding excur sion this morning in the Great Park. At 2 o'clock the King, the Queen, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince George, and the Princess Augusta of Cambridge, and a large party, occupying nine carriages, went to lunch at Virginia-water, where they will also dine. The band of the Life Guards were in attendance at Virginia water. Their Majesties and the Royal party are expected to return to the Castle about 9 o'clock. His Majesty, it is expected, goes to London to-morrow; immediately after the Queen and the rest of the Court start for Ascot. The King will dine at Apsley-house with the Duke of Wellington, at the grand Waterloo dinner given by his Grace. On Friday their Majesties go to Sion-house, to the grand fete given by the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland. METROPOLIS ROADS. THE NINTH REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS Or THE METRO POLIS TURNPIKE ROADS NORTH OF THE THAMES; (AP POINTED UNDER THE ACT 7 Giso. IV. C. 142 ;) PREPARED IX OBEDIENCE TO THE 138th SECTION OF THAT ACT. The Commissioners of the Metropolis Turnpike Roads north of the Thames, in conformity with the Act of Parlia ment constituting the Commission, have to make their ninth annual report concerning the affairs committed to their manage- anent. The various matters, in contemplation of which the Com mission was formed, having been brought into regular train, the Commissioners have not now much to state beyond a re ference to the report of their general surveyor, in which the works proceeded with, and the present state of the roads, arc detailed. There are, however, one or two subjects which call for some special notice from the Commissioners themselves. An improvement which, it is considered will be found very agreeable to the public, is in progress of being effected on the Kensington . road. The part of the road nearest to Ken sington, on the London aide, will be made straight, and slightly increased in with ; and a view of the Park will be :afforded to those travelling the road, by substituting a dwarf wall, with an open iron-railing, in lieu of the unsightly brick wall which has hitherto obstructed the view. Among the improvements mentioned in former reports as desirable, was that of lowering the hills, called Windmill-hill and Red-hill, on the Edgeware-road. This has been effected within the last year, with much advantage to the traffic on that road. _ The use of hard materials for repairing the roads continues to be extended on those which suffer most from the traffic upon them, or from their peculiar situation. The consequence is that these roads are regularly improving, and the new lines which have been cut and formed under the direction of this Commission, are also in a state of improvement, from the gra dual solidification of the materials thrown upon their surface. With respect to financial matters, the Commissions have the satisfaction to state they have been brought by the labours of previous years into so narrow a compass, and such regular arrangement, that they have no need to enter into any detailed report. In conformity with the arrangement fully stated in former reports, other 5,0001 . have been paid off from the amount of the consolidated debt of the Commission. It is now, there fore, reduced to 90,0001. and the amount of interest propor tionably decreased. The receipt from tolls in the last year has exceeded that in the year preceding by 5601. ; the amount is 78,8941. 3s. 10d. ; and the total receipt from ordinary and extraordinary sources is 82,919/. 9s. DM. The total expenditure of the last year amounted to 83,038/. 15s. Id. ; this sum includes not only 5,000/. of debt paid off, and 3,8001. of interest, but also 5,600 L laid out in improvements, in addition to the current and ordi nary expenses of keeping the roads in repair. For all the particulars of income and expenditure, the Com missioners beg to refer to the account in the Appendix. They also beg, for the details of the state of the different roads, to refer to the report of their chief surveyor, gi ven i n the Appendix ; and they have to express their continued satis faction with the good condition to which they have been brought and are kept under his care. - LOWTHER, Chairman.

All persons and matters within this part of + 1, .;: Act, ---.. ~ - ~______ ~__"~ _ . _ r-) / . peat the experiment. If they did not resort bribery and corruption, he had no doubt the Liberals would beat theal by a large majority. He felt it incumbent upon him to bring the matter before the House of Commons, and if the Blues were again returned by bribery, another petition would be presented, to which he anticipated the same result.—( Hear, hear, any cheers.) He expressed his surprise that Colonel Broke had come forward on this occasion, and said there could be but one opinion of the respectability of that gentleman's family. As Mr. Holmes had been proposed by a Conservative Whig, he should like to know how he would feel, if called upon to be whipper-in of such a strange class of politicians ? His (Mr. Morrison's) political opinions were well known to the electors of Ipswich. He was as much attached to the Kingly Govern ment, and as friendly to the agricultural interest, as his oppo nents. As to Corporation Reform, he hoped to see such a measure carried as would be beneficial to all classes. If they returned him to Parliament he would support those principles to which he had always pledged himself, and he had complete confidence in the final result of the election. The Hon. Gentleman retired amidst general applause. Mr. WASON then stood forward to address the meeting, but was received with loud hisses and partial cheers. Mr. HoLmas interfered, and entreated the meeting to give Mr. Wason a patient hearing. Mr. WASON again attempted to address the meeting, but was frequently interrupted in the course of his speech. He assured his honourable opponents that no expression had ever fallen from his lips imputing to them any personal blame.— ( Loud cries of " It's false ;" and a person hi t he crowd said, " You charged me last nigt with false and dishonourable con duct.") Let the issue of the contest be what it might he was willing that his public character should be publicly canvassed, and he claimed the same right with respect to his opponents. He lamented that the Gallant Colonel had been put into the hands of that party, whose proceedings at the last election no man except a renegade at Ipswich could possibly characterize as just and honourable. The Hon. Gentleman then referred to a speech lately delivered by Mr. Fonnereau at a public meeting, urging the electors to be true to the cause ; and if they used the same honourable calculating means as at last election, their triumph would be secured. Now he wished to ask Mr. Rodwell whether he would recommend the electors to have recourse to such measures ? He would pause for a reply. Mr. RODWELL said he did not approve of putting such in terrogatories in the course of a speech, but he had no objec tion to state in reply, that whatever honourable means were used at the last election, might with great propriety be used on the present occasion.—( Loud cheering.) Mr. WASON said the answer was equivocal, and not satis factory. He (Mr. Wason) had put the question with the view of directing attention to the word " calculating," as ap plied to the means of bribery and corruption used at the late election. Mr. RODWELL had no hesitatio n in st;:y i ng that any means calculated on to secure that election which were not honourable never should have his approbation.—(CheeCs.) Mr. WAsoN said be was satisfied with the explanation, so far as it respected Mr. Rodwell personally, but he did not believe it of the party with which he was connected. He was surprised to see Mr. Holmes nominated by Mr. Fonnereau, who had, before eleven Members of the House of Commons, sworn that he was a Conservative Whig.—(Laughter.) He should now ask Colonel Broke a question, which he hoped he would answer on the honour of a soldier and a gentleman. Colonel BROKE said he would answer no questions put at that moment. It was altogether irregular. Mr. WASON said he would put that question in Colonel Broke's presence, and he would ask how the respectable por tion of his party would feel when they saw it stated in the newspapers that Colonel Broke was seen parading the streets of the town with Edward Bolton Finch.—(Laughter.) Colonel BROKE said he should be quite ready to use his own discretion in answering any question properly put to him when his turn came to address the meeting.—( Cheers. ) Mr. WASON then expressed his sympathy with the four per sons who were in prison in consequence of the part they took at the last election. He would never do any thing to strike Mr. Sparrow off the roll, but was ready to sign a petition in his favour. He only regretted that those who were the real principals in the transaction, Messrs. Dundas and Kelly, were not placed in prison, instead of those four unfortunate indivi duals, and no effort should be wanting on his part to place them there.—(Cheering and uproar.) If the same calculating means were used at this election he would take care that their net should be larger, and equally strong, so as to encircle a few others; and he had no doubt they would not be allowed to escape. If the Blues now succeeded, he would state that he already knew at least of. three cases of bribery, which were quite sufficient to upset their election.—(Cries of " Name, who offered 151. to bribe the butcher.") One of them was perpetrated the day before yesterday. They might mark the fact, and if the matter demanded an investigation his state ments should be amply authenticated. With respect to inti midation, he would state one case iu which Mr. Rodwell was deeply and personally implicated.—(Cries of " Name.") Mr. RODWELL here came forward, and requested that the name should be given of the individual that had been re- ferred to. Mr. WaSON said he would, immediately after the election, give Mr. Rodwell the name. He would now, however, state some circumstances that might bring the case to his recollec tion. An elector told him that Mr. Rodwell had called six or seven times to solicit his vote in favour of the Blues ; and the last answer given to that solicitation was, that although a poor man he respected political consistency, and although he had worked for Mr. Rodwell on one or two occasions, it was as unjust to call on him to vote for Colonel Broke and Mr. Holmes, as it would be in him to call on Mr. Rodwell to vote for Mr. Morrison and Mr. Wason.—( Cheering.) Mr. RODWELL declared most solemnly that the whole state ment, from beginning to end, was an utter falsehood. Mr. WASON said he believed the testimony of the honest elector, although he had not a fine coat on his back, in pre ference to that of Mr. Rodwell.—( Cheers and confusion.) He pledged himself to give the name of the elector imme diately after the election, and till then he must be allowed to keep his own counsel.—( Cheering and hissing.) Colonel BROKE then advanced to the front of the platform, and was received with loud cheering. He thanked them for the very favourable reception they had given him. He wished it had fallen to some more able and eloquent champion to an swer, as it deserved, the speech they had heard from Mr. Wason. Had he been present in a private capacity he would have left the Hall in disgust, when he heard that gentleman, in a strain of bitter irony, inveighing against some of the most respectable men in the borough, and con cluding by asserting that he believed the word of an in former in preference to the solemn declaration of a gen tleman whose character was altogether unimpeachable.— ( Cheering.) But standing as he did, he was there to perform a solemn duty. He had no feelings of ambition or of vanity to gratify in being returned as representative for that borough. But the present was a peculiar emergency ; and although he had no disposition to put himself forward, yet as a freeman of the town, he had no hesitation to stand on public principle. Such feelings had placed him before them that day ; and to prove how strong that feeling was, he might state that a do cument existed in his own hand-writing, which pledged him that whenever the Conservative interest would not be endan gered, or could be advanced by his retirement, he should be most happy to place the important trust, should it be confided to him, in the hands of the electors.—( Cheers.) He con tended that, because one or two individuals had been con victed of bribery, it was most un-English to say that the whole of the party had irretrievably disgraced itself. Why should the whole party by such a proceeding be stamped with dis grace? He had come forward to give the honest Conservative electors an opportunity of recording their independent and unbiassed votes, and he hoped the return of Mr. Holmes and himself would offer a most satisfactory refutation of the as persions which had been thrown upon the whole party. With respect to the question which had been put to him, but which ho had formerly declined to answer, as to his having paraded the town arm-in-arm with Mr. Finch, who had been convicted of bribery, he had only to say that he had no knowledge what ever of that gentleman. He did not even know him by name —that was the shortest way of disposing of the argument by which a calumnious prejudice was attempted to be got up against him.—( Cheering.) If he was returned to Parliament, he would give no pledge other than that he would, to the ut most of his power, consider every question submitted to his attention, and give his vote according to his conscience for measures that would be beneficial to his country, following, at a humble distance, the course of Sir Robert Peel—(great cheering)—convinced that the measures advocated by that great Statesman would tend to advance the welfare of the country, uphold its best establishments, and support its already tottering constitution.—(The Hon. Gentleman retired amidst loud cheering.) Mr. HOLMES was loudly cheered. He observed that he had been asked, and very justly, what had brought him, a total stranger, to offer himself as a Representative for that borough. He came forward upon the requisition of a number of most re spectable electors, and had been promised support by upwards of 500 of the voters. Some expressions of surprise had been expressed respecting the possibility of his (Mr. Holmes)being made, if returned to Parliament, the whipper-in of the Con servative- Whigs.—( A. laugh.) He could only say that he wished such was the case. The Reform Bill, by which every man's sentiments must now be guided, having now passed into a• law, unless there was a strong union of everything that was liberally Conservative, and liberally Whig, for those were the elements alone which could now be useful to the country— without such a union their Constitution must give way before the assaults of rash, unprincipled, and selfish innovators. He declared most solemnly, that he hoped the cases of bribery would be found out which had been mentioned by Mr. Wason, and the parties prosecuted. The BAILIFF then called for the show of hands, which was greatly in favour of Mr. Morrison and Mr. Wason. A poll was demanded on belalf of the other candidates, which is to commence to-morrow (this morning). The town is in the most tranquil state. A correspondent complains that almost every week one of the wings of the beautiful winged heads which adorn the front of the gallery of the Inner High Courch are theft uously carried off ; and he hints that the depredation must be committed by some of the relique-collecting Goths who visit the Cathedral at this season. He hopes the person in charge of the church will look sharply after this in future, and hand over transgressors to the Police.—Glasgow Herald. Great excitement was created in Uppingham-market on Wednesday by the sale by auction of four ewes and two lambs, belonging to Mr. Burgess, of Ridliugton, which had been taken under a distress warrant for church-rates. Mr. Burgess, being one of the Society of Friends, had consci entiously refused to pay the rate. The populace expressed their indignation in no measured terms, and earnestly exhorted every one present not to purchase ; the animals, however, were at length sold—the ewes for FT• 155.. the lambs far Stamford Mereurq. , _ ---", MEETING AT IPSWICH. IPSWICH, WEDNESDAY EVENING.—Last evening about 5,000 persons assembled on the hill opposite the Corn Ex change, Mr. Wason having promised to address the multitude from a temporary platform. Mr. WAsoN and his friends were received in the most en thusfl,:tic manner. The Hon. Gentleman observed that he was sure that the meeting would be pleased to learn that as far as t h e ca zivess had proceeded, which he believed extended to nine-tenths m e the electors, no doubt of the return of his Honourable Friend and himself could be entertained; and there could be no doebe of their return unless the Opposition intended to imitate the ce.a.olPle of those who were engaged in the last election by bribing the electors. He was confi dent of a large majority i n hi s f aee eur unless more bribery was practised than was used at the last eition•—(Hear.) It was the duty of the electors to watch the ho;ises of those voters who were well known to every honest man the town, and to watch the movements of those who were iestrumental in bribing the electors. He wished every man to watch those individuals. Let every man abstain from speaking to them during the election. If they saw them bring up votes to the poll they might feel satisfied that such votes had been bribed. Let every honest man cease to hold communion with such persons, and let them be branded with the mark of public in dignation. The citizens of that borough thee had an oppor tunity of showing what they thought of the system of bribery and corruption, which had characterized the proceedings of the ether party at the last election. They knew what the Blues thought of those practices. He called upon the meet ing to watch the clergymen of the town, and it would be seen that they all polled in favour of bribery and corruption.— ( Confusion.) If, however, his prognostications , as re g arded that reverend body, were falsified by absolute proof to the contrary given at the approaching election, then should he be instantly ready and willing to offer his apology for having unjustly suspected them. He feared at the same time that, from the course they bad pursued on the recent occasion, his apprehensions were too well grounded. A certain gen tleman, in his address to the electors a few days since, had told them that if they adopted the same method at the ensuing as they had followed at the last election, they would be sure of success. Did that individual want another forty days of sitting of a Committee of the House of Commons? If so, he hoped they might meet with it, and have to pay again all the expenses arising therefrom. He could tell that party, that such practices would not be tolerated by the citizens of the borough of Ipswich any longer. The Hon. Candidate then commented in severe terms upon the con duct pursued by Mr. Kelly before the Committee—conduct which made every one of its members blush for an individual who had pushed forward his supporters to bear all the punish ment, even to imprisonment in Newgate, accruing to his own delinquency, instead of endeavouring to screen them by a re signation of his seat. The Hon. Gentlemen then pressed upon the electors the absolute necessity for an early attendance at the poll, by which a triumphant victory was certain of being gained. Mr. DILLON then addressed the meeting on the part of ef t .. Morrison, and urged the duty which devolved on them to make every exertion to return Mr. Morrison and Mr. Wason, who had so nobly fought the battle for the preservation of the independence of the borough before a Committee of the House of Common., during the protracted period of forty-one days. They should remember, too, that that was not a con test of Whig and Tory, of Reformer and Auti-Reformer, of Blue and Yellow, or of personal consideration, but of pure principle alone. Mr. WHITE then addressed the meeting ; after which the crowd dispersed, having previously given three loud and en thusiastic cheers for the reform interest. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT HEATH RAGES, TuzspAr, JUNI. 17. The sport was indifferent, the company thin, and every thing and every body flat in the extreme. The list looks well for to-day, and a great attendance will no doubt do honour to the occasion.

In our account of Tuesday's proceedings we omitted to state that the police arrangements were under the superintendence of Sir F. Roe, under whom were Messrs. Gardner, Leadbitter, Ellis, Smith, and Capes ; it is almost unnecessary to add that more corn• potent men could not have been selected. • The following is a return of the running yesterday : The Albany Stakes of 50 sovs. each, h. ft., for three-years-old ; colts, Sst. 7ib. ; fillies, Bst. 31b. ; the winner of the 2000 guineas Stakes, Derby, or Oaks, to carry bibs. extra. _ The New Mile. 8 subs.

" Plenipo is declared not to start" was the first information con veyed to us on reaching thelleath, and it was accompanied with some remarks and exclamations that would have been unpleasant to Mr. Batson to hear, and unsafe for us to repeat. Of course the query presented itself, " Why does he not start?" and certainly, after snaking every inquiry, and getting as near the fountain-head as possible; we could find no adequate reason. From all that we could collect, the horse is not lame or otherwise amiss ; but Mr. Batson has thought proper to draw him, because the ground is hard, and there is a chance of his breaking down. Our information may be wrong, and we hope it may ; but the least Mr. Batson can do is to show the horse, or to give some reason for not starting him, after suffering the public to back him against the field at 6 and 7 to 4 to a large amount, and to be against Glencoe and Shillelah at 4to 1, and Bto 1. This circumstance has entirely changed the betting, as the following quotation will prove : Even on Lord Jersey's Glencoe 2 to 1 agst Duke of Cleveland's Shillelah 6 to 1 agst Sir E. Baker's Bran 10 to 1 agst Mr. Goring's Bentley 12 to 2 agst Colonel Peel's Nonsense Marpessa and Famine are talked of as likely to start. Six races are in the list for this day, and some first-Tate sport may be anticipated. Their Majesties will certainly attend. The Duke and Duchess of Richmond, Lord Jersey, Lord Co nyngham, Lord Uxbridge, Lord Villiers, and some other Fashion.- ables, are prevented attending the races by the demise of the Duchess of Argyll.

Gentlemen whom it may concern, that an opportunity will shortly be afforded to them of stating, for the information of the Government and the public, how long, and to what amount, sums of money have been received as Regium Doman, under the pretence, pretext, or colour of providing for the religious instruction of certain Presbyterian Congregations in Dublin, when no such Congregations had any existence, or where there was no Clergyman to give such instruction. Mr. Sharman Crawford has seen the propriety of taking this matter up ; and has given notice of a motion, which, we hope, will inform..“on on this subject.—Northern --~_y, 71 ~~ '~.
