GENTLEMEN, TN compli ance w i t h t h e request of a numerous and influential body among you, I announce myself a Candidate for the honour of representing you in Parliament, I could h ave wished that the approaching Election had passed without interruption to the quiet of the City of London by the ex citement of a contest ; but the imprudent activity of the Anti-Re formers, have rendered the unopposed re-election of your late Members impossible. In soliciting your support, I am aware that, long as my name au been commercially connected with the City of London, I am politically unknown to the great majority of the Constituency ; and it is my duty, as well as my inclination, to lay before you the sen timents I profess. Though not a p ar ty man , I am a Whi g i n pr i nc i p l e ; an d s h a ll always be found an unflinching Reformer, being prepared to carry the spirit of Reform wherever it can be beneficially applied, in Church and State. I cordially approved the Reform Bill, and gave to it the best support in my power. I cannot, however, admit that this ought to be a final and irrevocable settlement of that great constitutional question. At the same time, in avowing my opinion that many and important changes in the Bill may be found to be necessary, I openly declare myself opposed to Annual Parliaments and Um versal Suffrage. I am decidedly hostile to the policy by which the Tories have been hitherto influenced ;_ and when I recollect their persevering opposi tion t o th e Reform Bill—a measure for which a debt of gratitude is due from the nation to Earl Grey and his colleagues—when I con sider the component parts of Sir Robert Peel's Administration, togethe r with the speeches and declarations made at the Mansion house, no other course is open tome than to declare my determined opEosition t o th e present Mi n i stry. Being prepared to exact a strict economy in all the depart ments of the State, I shall do my utmost to support every practi cable retrenchment, consistent with the faith due to the national creditor. As a firm friend of the Church of England, I shall be ready to vote for all measures calculated to remedy the numerous abuses of that establishment. In the meantime, Ido not forget the just claims of the Dissenters, and I shall zealously advocate the cause of Civil and Religious Liberty on behalf of the conscientious Non- Conformist. A thorough Reform of the Chur c h of I re l an d a pp ears t o me t o be necessary and unavoidable. Among those improvement. which the country has a right to ex pect, there are few of greaterimportance than the correction of the abuses now existing in many of our Municipal Corporations. I shall willingly support a wise and well digested measure of Munici pal Reform, founded on the principle of periodical Election. Having been all my life connected with the trade of London,. I feel the strongest interest in its steady advance and prosperity— ' shall esteem it an important branch of my duties to study the thmeis ans ty. of preserving and increasing the commercial emi nence o f ci Confining myself at present to the above short exposition of those views, according to which my political conduct will be regulated, I beg to assur e you that if by your suffrages I should obtain the dis tinguished honour of representing you in Parliament, my best efforts shall be used to forward both the interests of the country in general, and the welfare and prosperity of the city of London in particular.-_.I have the honour to remain Gentlemen, Your faithful and obedient servant, JAMES PATTISON. Old Broad-street, 27th December, 1834 ELECTORS OF WESTMINSTER. GENTLEMEN, CALLED on by so large and respectable a body of the Electors of Westminster, as have done me the dis tinguished honour to invite me to offer myself as a candidate for *W estminster, I can no longer, at so eventful a moment, when an important crisis is at hand, decline to place my services at your dis posal, and permit myself to be put in nomination for your suffrages on the approaching election. Stranger as lam to you, it is a duty owe to you, as well as just to myself, that I should distinctly de clare my political sentiments. Never having before offered myself to public notice as a politi i, I stand entirely free from any trammels of party, and altoge unfettered by any pledge or promise, as well as uncompromised by any previous political line of conduct. My previous declaration will, I hope, be a sufficient guarantee that popular rights and privileges will be among the first objects of tat care. aly declaration that I consider the constitution under which we bye the best calculated to secure the happiness of a free and inde- Pendent people which has ever yet been devised, will, I trust con vince you, that while I strenuously advocate reform, I seek not to ues tr o Ythat while I shall anxiously desire to renovate and improve the superstructure wherever it may show symptoms of de caY, I shall carefully avoid touching the foundation which has stood the shock of ages, and on which only can permanently be secured the Constitutional rights of the Crown, and the liberties of the people. While I will firmly maintain an Established Church, in the full conviction that Christianity itself, under whatever form, is strength ened and protected by its influence, I am persuaded a careful re view of our ecclesiastical institutions is essential to its prosperity, and my best endeavours shall be used to place it upon such a foot ing as will conduce to peace and goodwill between it and those who c onscientiously depart from her doctrines ; and above all, my anx ious wish will be to establish those relations between the pastor and his flock as will ensure that mutual a ff ec ti on an d res p ec t w hi c h i s too often interrupted by causes over which neither party has had asz control. illy fellow -countrymen, I stand here as the opponent of no man —the prominent situation in which I am placed by a large portion of your fellow-citizens, was unsought and unexpected by me • but having b een h onoured by so marked a demonstration, and such as surances of success, I cannot hesitate to declare my full determina tion to give an opportunity to every elector of Westminster to re cord his sentiments at the poll. I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your faithful and obedient servant, THOMAS COCHRANE. 45, Devonshire -street, Jan. 3, 1835. P. S.—l extremely regret, that from the shortness of the inter val between this and the day of nomination, it will be impossible for me to pay that attention which I consider due to every elector, in personally soliciting his vote. The Central Committee for promoting the election of Sir Thomas Cochrane, SIT DAILY at the British Coffee-house, Cockspur street, Charing-cross. There is no truth whatever in the statement of a coalition with any other Candidate—no such proposition would for a moment be entertained. WESTMINSTER ELECTION. THE COMMITTEE for CONDUCTING the ELECTION of Sir THOMAS COCHRANE SIT DAILY at the British Coffee-house, Cockspur-street, Charing cross, to receive communications. Jan. 6, 1835. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE SOUTHERN DIVISION OF THE COUNTY OF NORTHUMBERLAND. GENTLEMEN, THE evident policy of a Tory Government, toge ther with the very active exertions of those who are known to be its friends, have created a general expectation that the for mation of the new Ministry will be succeeded by an immediate Dissolution of Parliament. I hat the majority of the present Rouse of Commons can, by any pretext, be induced to support those who have uniformly resisted every species of Reform, is a supposition so unreasonable, that few are disposed to entertain it. It is not probable that the restoration of the Tories to power should effect such a change in their principles as would justiy the confi dence of any sincere Reformer. With this conviction, I offer myself as a Candidate for the distin guished honour of representing you in Parliament. I desire to see the strictest economy employed in every department of the Govern ment, and all abuses in Church and State corrected without any needless delay. My aversion to innovations of which the advantage is doubtful, has, I fear, caused me to be suspected of Conservatism. No suspicion can be more unfounded. I entertain an unalterable hatred of the principles, and an inflexible distrust of the views of the Conservatives. Were that party unfortunately to succeed in cajoling this country into submission through specious offers of sa tisfactory Reforms, it is " clear to me as the sun at noon-day" that in their hands the Reform Bill would soon become little more than a dead letter : the rights of the people would be treated by them, as they were formerly, with contempt and scorn ; and tyranny would be directly or indirectly encouraged wherever the influence of the Ministry should extend, Having thus frankly avowed m y opinion of "measures and men," I shall take an early opportunity of ascertaining if they are likely to receive your approbation. Should you consider them unsuited to the present crisis, it will be for you to select some one more Worthy of your confidence. If, on the contrary, it should appear to You that by temperate opinions, united with firm conduct, an A nti -Reform Administration may be effectually resisted, and finally overcome, I shall endeavour to discharge my duty during the approaching struggle with that zeal and integrity which becomes a Re presentative of a free and enlightened nation. .

GENTLEMEN, PERMIT us to request your early attendance at the Poll To-morrow Morning, to record the Votes which have t been so numerously and cordially tendered to us. Our cause, Gentlemen, is in your hands—our principles are well known to you—they are those of our King and Constitution—prin ciples which have made our country respected abroad and secure at home, and which, if steadily maintained, will still uphold her at the head of the nations of the universe. Those who represent us as unfriendly to useful Reform commit towards us a gross iujustioe. Whatever can be done to improve and strengthen our excellent institutions shall, if your interests are' committed to our care, receive our frank, honest, and hearty support. Clamour is a new element in the discussions of Englishmen. That with which we were assailed at the Guildhall gives no discourage ment to us. It is to the Poll-books that we must refer, and them we confidently look for a triumph, not personal to ourselves or to our interests, but to the great cause in which we are engaged. We have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obliged and faithful Servants, GEORGE LYALL. WILLIAM WARD. THOMAS WILSON. Committee-Room, City of London Tavern, Jan. 6, 1835.

The C3m mittee sit daily at Richardson's Aotel, Covent-garden, to receive communications. As some gentlemen are canvassing in behalf of " Cochrane and Evans," the Committee of Sir F. Burdett disclaim, in justice to the electors, all canvassing in such joint names ; and to recognize those canvassers only, who undertake to act in the interest of the late Members, Burdett and Evans. January 6, 1835. TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF WESTMIN, STE R. GENTLEMEN, The Reform Act, though containing many imperfections which ought to be removed, is nevertheless the greatest acquisition which has been made for the people in modern times. The people may now, by their own exertions, return their own representatives ; and if they perform their duty in makiug a proper choice, the conti nuance of an arbitrary or corrupt Government, and the support of any palpable abuse, have become absolutely impossible. Grateful to the late Ministers for the Reform which they have been instrumental in procuring, and knowing that time was re quired to prepare and mature the detailed reforms in Administra tion which were reasonably to be expected from the Reformed Re presentation, I thought it my duty to give them my general sup port, though I could not approve of all they did, or omitted to do ; and believing that Lord Melbourne honestly intended to make the public welfare the principle of his Government, I regret the loss of his power ; but my regret was accompanied by no surprise, and by no alarm ; by no surprise, because, although no authentic explana tion has yet been given, I had for some time apprehended that his Administration contained within itself the elements of its own dis solution ; and by no alarm, because I felt, and now feel, assured that the representatives of the people in the Reformed House of Commons will not permit the present Ministers, or any other men, to abuse the authority and power which the prerogative of the Crown confers upon them. Seeing the names of which the majority of the new Admnistra tion is composed, it cannot—in me at least--inspire confidence ; but there is no cause to fear them, or any thing they can do; because if they will not, or from old habits or prejudices cannot, act in pur suance of the national will as expressed in the House of Commons, they cannot maintain their power, and must give place to men who know better what their duties and the circumstances of the country require. The time is come when the general interests ought to prevail —nay, must prevail—over every other consideration ; when the old factious distinctions which we struggled against in our pur suits of Parliamentary Reform .ought to be abolished; when the flags and watchwords under which Whigs and Tories fought their disgraceful battle ought to be destroyed and forgotten ; and when all men, whatever their former views and opinions niay have been, ought to feel and avow, that it is their duty to unite in procuring for the people at large, in peace and tranquillity, all those fruits of good Government which the Reform Act was intended—and is cal culated—to secure. For me, I have not, and never had, any party but the People— any political object but their welfare—nor any wish to represent you in Parliament other than that which is founded in the hope, that by the weight which your suffrages may give me, I may be enabled to contribute to the public security and happiness. I remain, Gentlemen, as ever, Your faithful and humble servant, St. James's-place, Jan. 3, 1835. FRANCIS BURDETT. TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK. • GENTLEMEN, ACCEPT my hearty and sincere thanks for the honour you have done me in re-electing me as one of your Representatives in the ensuing Parliament, which is the more gratifying to me, as it is a proof of your approbation of my past conduct in that arduous and responsible situation. Upon the integrity and firmness of the Representatives of the People in the next Parliament, will depend the preservation of the advantage they have gained in favour of their rights and liberties by the passing of the Reform Act. You have set a noble example to all electors throughout the United Kingdom, and have laid the foundation of an independent House of Commons, by electing as the first returned Members of that Parliament two proved Re formers; and if your example is but followed by the country at large, there can be no fear of the rights and liberties of the people being infringed, whoever may be the Minister, or whatever party be in power. I have on a former occasion, as well as on the present, given you a most explicit declaration of my political principles ; you have approved those principles by twice electing me, it is therefore un necessary that I should repeat that declaration. I have only to add, that not beingapartyman, I will support good measures, and oppose evil ones, by whomsoever they may be introduced, without regard to party or faction. I will yield to none in loyalty to our King and attachment to the institutions of our country ; but I will be the determined supporter of the people's rights and liberties, and of all judicious reform s i n Ch urc h an d S tate , en t er t a i n i ng a firm belief that upon the freedom of the people depends the stability of the Throne, and the prosperity of the country upon the purity of its institutions. Identified as I am with• the Electors of Southwark, I cannot but consider their interest as my own, and while I shall continue to give to the important national questions which will come before the next Parliament, the most attentive consideration, I will not be found wanting in attention to the local interest of Southwark.

GENTLEMEN, AS it appe ars a l mos t certa i n th a t a Di sso l ut i on o f Parliament will sh ortly occur, I present my self to your notice once more as a candidate for the honour of your Repre sentation. , I need make no professions. My principles are well known, and cannot be doubted. My recorded votes have proved to you that I have, in Parliament, truly and faithfully acted up to the 'declara tions which I made on the hustings. If, therefore, you think that my farther services can be of advantage to the cause of Reform and liberty, you may freely command them. This is not a time for any man, be he elector or representative, to shrink from the coming struggle. The question is soon to be decided, whether the Reform Bill is to have any result—whether the progrss of improvement is to be arrested, and corrupt abuses protected—and, finally, whether Toryism or Reform is to be triumphant. Your conduct will, lam confident, be in accordance with that glorious spirit which ani mated you in 1820, and which, 1832, placed me at the head of the poll. I well know, therefore, that you will do your duty; and you shall not find me wanting in the performance of mine. I am Gentlemen, Your obliged and faithful servant, HEDWORTH LAMBTON.

It is supposed that a very severe contest will take place, and that all three candidates will come out close together. In turf language, that the loser will run an excellent third.

The Tories thought to carry Sir R. R. Vyvyan over the election course without opposition ; they thought the power of the Corporation and the Select Vestries were sufficient to carry a calf, provided—he was ornamented with blue ; yet, notwithstanding their apparent zeal for Sir R. R. Vyvyan, they tried nearly all the Tories in the neighbourhood of Bristol, who refused ; consequently they were obliged to have the " Cornish diamond" again, or let two Liberals be returned. This was wormwood to their souls—they immediately held councils, and, after much deliberation, it was de termined to try him again, and to hear w h a t ex pl ana ti on h e cou ld give for his silence in the last Session of Parliament. At the meeting Vyvyan stated, that he had been on the Continent, and hoped they would forgive his absence -, that he would vote for the Dissenters being relieved from Church -rates ; that they ought to marry in their own chapels--in fact, that he was an Ultra-Radical, and promises to attend more in future to the business of the Cor poration. Alderman Daniell said, the latter part of his explanation was perfectly satisfactory, but the first part would not have done some time since, or they might have as well returned Protheroe and Vyvyan, and there would have been no opposition since, if they had done so. _ . The nomination took place this morning, at the Guildhall. Jas. E. Baillie was proposed by R. Bright, Esq. ; Sir R. R. Vivyan by Alderman Daniel ; Sir J. C. Hobhouse, Bart., by C. A. Elton, Esq., son of Sir A. Elton, Bart. The show of h an d s were 9 to I in favour of Baillie and Hobhouse ; Vyvyan then demanded a poll, which takes place on Wednesday, in Queen-square. Baillie and Hobhouse has to attend—neither of them are in Bristol, but they are expected every hour. It is supposed that it will be one of the sharpest contests ever known in Bristol. The Tories had no idea of the contest until Saturday. I pray to God the Reformers will be true to themselves, and I think they will. The Tories threaten to nominate Miles, as well as Vvvyan ; but I am afraid their courage will fail,notwithstanding the Tories employed all the blackguards as bludgeon-men. This morning they were beaten in the show of hands, which has made them wild. I have no doubt of the return of Baillie and Hobhouse, A CONSTANT SUBSCRIBER, ESPERANCE. Four o'clock.—The Blues, in consequence:of the dislike to their politics, cannot show a single colour. There are just posted bills from every parish, calling meetings for this evening. The universal cry is, " Baillie and Hobhousc," and " Reform." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE: TATTERSALL',3. DER T. At the commencement of the afternoon Silenus was backed at 10 to 1 to a hundred pounds, and an offer was subsequently made to take 1,800 to 200 ; Ascot in consequence declined a point. Offers to take 17 to 1 about Curtius, and not more than 20 to 1 offered against Ibrahim or the Leopoldine colt.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, JAN. 5. These Sessions commenced this morning before B. ROT CU, Esq., and a full bench of Magistrates. The calandar contains a list of 138 prisoners; none of them, however, are charged with any serious offence. Samuel Hall, a man of about fifty years of age, was brought up from the House of Correction, to which place he had been committed by Mr. Minshull, at 'Bow-street Office, as an in corrigible rogue and vagabond, to abide any order the Court of Sessions might make respecting him. The sentence of the Court was that he be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for the space of twelve calendar months. William Harris was indicted for stealing several books, the property of Mr. Robert Henry Sawyer, a solicitor, residing in Staples' Inn. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the Court sen tenced him to be imprisoned six months in the House of Cor rection, and kept to hard labour. Several other cases were tried of no public interest. The Earl of Courtown has been appointed Captain of the Yeomen of the Guard. LOUTH.--The county as well as the borough has presented a noble example to the rest of Ireland.—Dublin Morning Register. When the Loves ("the Angels was produced at the Strand Theatre, it was proposed to Mrs. Fitzwilliam, then lessee of Sadler's Wells, to produce a piece upon the same subject at her theatre, Mrs. Fitzwilliam said, 'O6 No, no ; mine's not a celesti a l fi gure . M rs . W ay l ett may be the Angel at St. Clement's if she likes ; but I won't be the Angel at Islington. "_...New Monthly. BRIGHTON, JAN. 5. After Divine Service, yesterday, his Majesty and the Landgra vine of Hesse Homburg drove out for a carriage airing, passing and repassing several times along the cliffs, between Hove and Kemp town, previous to their return to the Palace. Colonel Wemyss had the honour of an audience of the King. Colonel Bowater arrived at the Palace last evening, as Equerry in Waiting to his Majesty. The Queen, accompanied by Lady Mayo, Miss Hope Johnstone, and Miss Bagot, attended Divine Service yesterday afternoon, at St. George's Chapel, Kempt-town. The Rev. J. Anderson read prayers, and preached a most eloquent sermon. Her Majesty and attendants o'cnpied a pew in the body of the chapel, immediately facing the pulpit. Her Majesty's strict observance of the Sabbath, as well as her invariable attention to her religious duties on all oc casions, is the subject of general admiration amongst all classes of persons, and will, it is confidently hoped, operate as an incentive to others to " do likewise." The Duke of Dorset continues on a visit to their Majesties. The Earl and Countess of Ripon, Lord and Lady Wharncliffe, Right Hon. H. Ellis, Sir Edward and Lady Stanley, and Mr. Eld, visited their Majesties yesterday afternoon. Theie Majesties' dinner party last evening comprised the Prin cess Augusta, the Landgravine of Hesse Homburg, Prince George, Earl and Countess of llayo, Rev. F. F. Bowes, and the Royal suite. The Earl and Countess of Clarendon continue to reside on the King's-road, as does the Duke and Duchess of St. Albans, in Regency-square. Lord De Roos is still here, and in rather improved health ; when the weather permits, the Noble Lord takes a walk on the West Cliff. SOCIETY OF BRITISH MUSICIANS. FOURTH CONCERT. The fourth meeting of this society, held yesterday evening at the Hanover-square Rooms, attracted a crowded audience ; and, from the many excellent specimens of musical composition by the younger members of the profession, it may fairly be inferred that the art is making considerable progress. The novelties of the evening which deserve commendation were instrumental compositions. These ap pear to be the leading objects of the Association, and on them the members must rest their principal claim for public approbation. Of the performances yesterday the quartett by Mr. Calkin, and the concerto for the horn by Mr. Kearns, received and merited great applause. The former was played by Messrs. Mori, Griesback, Watkins, and Lindley; and although termed a quartett, was more properly a concerto for the first violin, with an accompaniment for the remaining instruments. It was charmingly executed ; and we only wished to hear more of our favourite Lindley. Mr. Kearns appears to stand alone in his extensive knowledge of instrumentation ; . and if his pr o d uc ti on h a d met with a moiT efficient performer, its apparent impossibilities would have been better understood and ap preciated. A s y m ph on y an d two overtures, the respez five compo sitions of Messrs. Bennett, Macfarren, and Griesbach, %rel.:: very creditable to the authors. With the exception of the grand seem; from the " Mountain Sylph," sung by Mr. J. 0. Atkins in his best style, the songs were altogether of an inferior caste. The glee, " To-morrow, to-morrow, thou loveliest May !" sung by Miss Maria Hawes, Mr. Hobbs, Mr. J. Barnett, and Mr. J. 0. Atkins, was well received, and was worthy of its composer, T. F. Walmisley. We were happy to see the concert so well attended, and that its members want neither patronage nor applause. COVENT GARDEN THEATRE. Mr. J. Wallack made his re-appearance before his old friends in the part of Richard the Third, last night. He is an excellent artist in a peculiar province of the drama. Let him confine himself within its bounds. In all characters of which he undertakes the impersonation, the physical must predominate over the intellectual. In Richard all is mind—he is an angel fallen, but, in the bad supre macy of his spirit, an angel still. Mr. Wallack, moreover, will not, if he can, bring himself to look the part; with his figure, carriage, and characteristic splendour of dress, it was perfect mockery to al lude to disgusting personal deformities. A pet lap-dog alone could have taken exception to him. In a word, he did not make any thing of the part. He is not a first-rate tragedian, and the me diocre in such parts as Gloster is not tolerated either by gods or groundhogs. ADELPHI THEATRE. This house, a little jealous, perhaps, that the Strand Theatre should have availed itself, for the purpose of notoriety, of an extra dramatic eccentricity, the example of which was set it here, and not long since, recurred last night to one of those performances off the stage, of which we have but just had a specimen exhibited by Mr. Mitchell. A quasi farce, called " A New Actress," was pro duced on this occasion, in which a gay widow, who has three c l a i m ants for her hand—viz., a y oung officer, a preposterous fop, and an old fool—is about to give herself to the latter, at the price of some 2001., advanced, as she thinks, by him, hut in reality by the duped fop, who, in a fit of ex post facto indignation, on find ing that the cash is to go to the purse of the favoured mous tache, gives to his superannuated rival the advantage of the bargain. We may remark, en passant, that the fragment of the fop is rendered broadly comical by Mr. Yates's performance, and e specially by his mocking the defective pronunciation of the letter r, by always wrapping. it up in a w—as in w'radiant eyes, w'ruby lips, and w'rosy cheeks. However, neither is the widow given away, nor the farce finished, as a lady from one of the private boxes—viz., Mrs. Keeley—arrests both events by coming forward to protest against a piece personally offensive to her, as a dramatization of an event in her life. She has her sup porters, of course, in pit and gallery. A friend of her spouse manifests himself in the person of a horn-blower in the orchestra, and the old spouse himself subsequently, in an opposite box to her's. After an indifferently smart wrangle, the spouse, enraged at seeing a male cousin in the box with her, declares for separa tion, and she, as a resource against destitution, betakes herself to the stage, and becomes the New Actress. At the fall of the cur tain, Mr. Yates came forward and announced that " this trifle, this butterfly, would be repeated." To repeat a butterfly is an opera tion of plastic power, which philosophers can only comprehend by seeing it porformed at the Adelphi Theatre. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS.

Sir Gregory Way, for Brighton ; Col. Nugent, for the Continent. MISS LANDON.—Some people will call the new and fascinating work, " Francesca Carrara," from the pen of the accomplished L. E. L., an historical novel. We call it a pure specimen of the modern romance, on which historical anecdotes, traits, and characters are, with varying skill em bossed. It is of the age of Mazarin and De Reta in France, and of Cromwell and the Restoration in Britain. It is im possible even to attempt an outline of Miss Landon's charming production. We pause, therefore, unless we could trace the tragic movement of the whole story throughout all its links— the continued and ineffectual struggle of mortal beings with an overwhelming destiny. The work has other peculiar beau ties which do not admit of being dotached, and which are, perhaps, too delicate and subtle to bear being transplantsd. These consist i►► a strain of high-wrought sentiment, and in the inmost revealings of a passionate, tender, and elevated, but purely feminine mind—in exquisite descriptions of natural scenery, in the vicissitudes of the seasons, and in the masings of a poetical and reflective mind on the varied shows of bu manity._ Tait'a Magazine, January, 1835. PRICE 7D. OLYMPIC THEATRE. The trifle presented here last night, called a A New Farce, was completely successful. Its construction though " peculiar," is not " new," even to our own stage, where, heretofore, pieces of similar design—(one by the elder Colman, from a late revival, we remem ber, called The Manager in Distress)—have had their day. The first scene of the present exhibits the " Green-room of the Olym pic Theatre," in which the performers, dressed for their respective parts, are assembled.. The second (and it consists only of two), " the interior of an Hotel," where the farce is supposed to com mence, and the " scene of confusion" ensues. Peter Buzzard, kid-glove cleaner, and patentee, " somewhat jealous," is perso nated by Liston, who, from the boxes, interrupts the intended performance of his wife, who has a decided penchant for the drama, and appeals to the manageress, Madame Vestris, who replies in propria personae, and finally to the boxes and pit, from whence, also, he is responded to. But as his principal objection is more particularly directed against the performer, Mr. Salter, who, as Mr. Popham, is to personate her husband, he therefore volunteers himself to do it, and presents himself on the stage for that purpose. The whole scene, as may be supposed, is thrown into confusion by this arrangement. Liston very naturally affects the extreme awk wardness of a person totally unacquainted with the stage, and the most ludicrous blunders in consequenco occur from his reading of the part, in which he includes the stage directions. BANBURY, JAN. 5. One of the first electioneering contests has been decided at Ban bury, in spite of all the trickery and intimidation which generally mark the proceedings of the Tory party, by the triumphant return of the declared opponent of the present Administration, Mr. Tan ered, on the sth instant. At the close of the poll the numbers stood thus— Mr. Tancred..... Mr. Loyd Williams Mr. Tancred was immediately chaired, amidst the acclamations a an immense multitude of personal SANDWICH, JAN. 5. TO THE EDITOR OF THE. SUN. SlR—According to your request to have any information of the election of Sandwich, I beg to inform yon that Sir Thos. Trou bridge was this morning put in nomination by H. W. Harvey, Esq. of Hamden, and seconded by SloddenCastle, Esq. ; and Sir Edward Owen, K. C. 8., by It. Emmerson, Esq., and seconded by D. Hodgson, Esq. ' • and S. G. Price, E sq ., by Mr. G eo . S o lly, se conded by Mr. P. Wood. The several candidates addressed the meeting, and a poll being demanded, it was adjourned till Tuesday morning the 6th day of January. Sir Thos. Troubridge's election is considered certain, and the trial will be between Sir Edward Owen and Samuel Grove Price, Esq. Sandwich Committee-room, Fleur-de-lis Inn, January 5, 1835. SUDBURY, JAN. 5. (EXTRACT OF A LETTER.) With the most lively pleasure I transmit you the result of the first day's poll for this borough, as annexed; from which there appears no doubt but that we shall be enabled to return two Reform candidates. Mr. Bagshaw's election is now certain; at all events I trust the first election will be an example to the whole country, and teach the domineering Tory faction that their ne farious practices and principles are properly viewed and appreciated even in the notorious old borough of Sudbury. Close of the Poll (Monday.) Bag!haw (Reformer) 262 Benjamin Smith (Ditto) General Barnes (Tory) S. Tyne Stephens (Ditto) 237 . , Bagshaw's majority over Barnes, 16—Smith's do. do., 5. About 40, myself and 12 friends among the number, to poll. BRISTOL ELECTION. A STRONG CONTEST. We are all alive here. There are four candidates, viz., Sir R. Vyvyan, P. J. Miles, Esq., of Leigh Court, father of the candidate for East (Somerset ; Mr. Baillie, and Sir John Cam Hobhouse. The Tories thought on Saturday that they would walk over the course, but on Monday, the day of nomination, Sir J. Hobhouse was brought forward with Mr. Baillie against them ; these three were nominated ; after which the Tories sent to Mr. P. J. Miles, to request that he would stand, if elected in connexion with Sir Richard Vyvyan. To this he has acceded; therefore we shall go to it, hammer and tongs, on Wednesday next, the day appointed for the polling to commence (in Queen Square), and we must either have two Tories or two Reformers. It is at present extremely doubtful which side will be successful, as Baillie has just as much i n fi n ,:nce as Alderman Daniell (the head of the Bristol Tories) amongs t ,2,e electors. As is usual, both parties are confident. Sir Richard only ,: - as present at the Guildhall this morning (which was crowded to exetzs), he was proposed by Alderman Daniel, and seconded by Joseph Cooinn, Esq. Sir John Hobhouse, by C. A. Elton, Esq., seconded by 2- Ash, Esq. Mr. Baillie by Robert Bright, Esq., seconded by MicLael Hinton Castle, Esq. The show of hands was in favour of Vyvyas The other party then de manded a poll, which will commence on Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock. Mr. Miles was not brought forward until after the nomi nation was over. Another meeting was called within five hours, and he was then named as a candidate in cohesion with Vyvyan. BAILLIE AND HOBHOUSE FOR EVER! BRISTOL, JAN. 5. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—l had the pleasure yesterday of informing you that the united liberal party here were determined to turn out Sir R. R. Vyvyan, by returning Sir John Cam Hobhouse, Bait, with Mr. J. E. Baillie. The nomination took place to-day at nine o'clock. Sir John C. Hobhouse and Mr. Baillie hail four-fifths of the hands held up in their favour, and a poll was consequently demanded in favour of Sir R. R. Vyvyan, which is to commence at eight o'clock on Wednesday morning. There will now be a fair stand-up in this city, of Reformers versus Anti-reformers, a circumstance which has not occurred be fore. You will have gathered from my previous letter, that the Whigs and Liberals did it by a conp-de-main--the Tories had no idea of our tactics till we entered the Hall. Their mortification was extreme at seeing every body against them, and especially at perceiving the following address, signed by the leading Reformers of all shades, which was freely distributed on the platform. The suddenness of the blow prevents their corrupting the free men by weeks of previous intoxication. Sir H. Hobhouse was proposed by Mr. Charles Abraham Elton (son of Sir Abraham Elton), and seconded by Mr. Richard Ash. Mr. Baillie was proposed by Mr. R. Bright, and seconded by Mr. M. H. Castle ; and Sir R. R. Vyvyan was proposed by Alder man Daniel, of bribery and close corporation memory, and seconded by Mr. Joseph Cookson. We are confident the Tories will be soundly beaten this time— well paid off for their iniquitous courses at the last election ;Land we hope our success hitherto will have a favourable influence on other Tories in the kingdom.—l am, Sir, your's truly, A. Z. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CITY AND DISTRICT OF BRISTOL. Brother Electors,—A crisis has arrived in the history of this country, which places in the power of its electoral body the deci sion of the question—whether England shall return to the old sys tem of Tory despotism and corruption, or proceed onward in the course of social amelioration, by applying the power of the Reform Bill to procure such amendments in our public institutions as may best insure the prosperity and happiness of the people : and a crisis has also arrived in the history of this city, which places in your hands the power of deciding another question—whether Bristol shall maintain a character for independence among the cities of the kingdom, or continue an obiect of merited contempt, by per sisting in sending as its representatives in Parliament two one to say " No," the other to say " Yes," upon every question of national importance. To your conduct for an answer to these questions we look for ward with confident expectation. We know that the nation will do its duty ; we trust that Bristol will prove itself worthy of participating in the blessings which may be anticipated from the return of a liberal Administration to power ; by giving its share of exertion to effect that return. To give you an opportunity of proving your unaltered attach ment to the great principles of Constitutional Reform—to furnish you with the means of retrieving the honour of Bristol, and of ranking yourselves again among the Independent Constituencies of the country, we place in nomination this day the Right Honour able Sir J. C. Hobhouse, Bart., a gentleman of tried integrity and large fortune—born and educated in Bristol, and conseqnently attached to it by ties, the influence of which no stranger can feel— a Reformer from the days of his boyhood—a friend to the people, when the friends of the people were few—a man of talent, and a man of business. We fearlessly challenge for him comparison with the Tory can didate in every respect as a Representative of Bristol in the Na tional Legislature. We place him before you as the most fitting colleague for Mr. Baillie, whose political principles we approve, whose past Parliamentary conduct we accept as an ample pledge for the future, and whose election we are resolved most strenuously and cordially to promote. it :scarcely possible that Sir J. C. Hobhouse can reach Bristol until the prt ::nt contest is decided ; am', we therefore feel called on in justice to you, our fellow citizens anci brother electors, to ex press our entire conviction, collectively and h:dividually, that if Sir J. C. Hobhouse be elected, he vill accept the honour you confer upon him, and we arc confident that he will in every respect prove himself worthy of it by devoting his time and his ;talents to the wel fare of his country, and to the commercial and MU' ufacturing inte rests of his constituents.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Sir George Adams, the Tory candidate, bas just issued am , Address, relinquishing the contest, and on Monday next, Jasper Parrett, Esq., and Lord Seymour, the liberal candi dates, will be returned. The Reformers of this place have manfully done their duty, and if their example be followed throughout the country, it will require no prophet to predict the downfall of the Peelo- Wellington Administration within one month after the 19th day of February next. The Torias and Corporators died game here. Every trick, art, and device were had recourse to by them, but it was found to be no go. Intimidations and threats on the one hand, and the smiles and sympathies of the Corporators' ladies on the other; but, hap pily, they would not avail anything. The Reformers were bent on union, and to divide their votes between Parrett and Seymour, and thus they were successful—even driving the Tories from the hustings. May the electors throughout the kingdom follow their example I The nomination takes place at Plymouth on Monday next, and every hope is entertained that Messrs. Bewes and Collier, the Reform candidates, will be returned. The Cockburnites boast that Sir George is sure, but Wednesday afternoon, the last day of the poll, will decide that.. I have been in this neigh bourhood for the last fortnight, but I am off on Saturday even ing to vote for the Reform candidates. At Dartmouth Colonel Scale is safe, notwithstanding the contrary wish of Governor Holdsworth ; and at Ashburton Doctor Lushington's brother will be returned, in defiance of Palmer and his Tory coadjutors and purse. W. LORD SEYMOUR'S COMMITTEE-ROOM, Saturday Evening, Jan. 3, 1835. Sir George Adams, the Tory candidate, has this moment resigned ; and on Monday Lord Seymour and Jasper Parrett, Esq., the two Liberal candidates, will be returned without op position, by the triumphant and numerous Reformers of the borough of Totnes. W. D. TAUNTON, Chairman. BIRMINGHAM. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stn,—Having done me the favour to insert my first letter relating to the Curates of the Established Church, I trust you will give admission to a second letter on the same subject. ' TO THE BISHOP OF My Lord,---Within the compass of a single letter it was not possible for me to state all the particulars of a plan vi Lich has long engaged my serious thoughts, for the relief of the Curates of the Established Church, I, therefore, solicit your Lordship's attention to a second letter, containing further details on tho subject. __ lam well aware that the number of inadequately remunerated Curates is so great that the contingencies respecting benifices at the disposal cf the Archbishop Canterbury and the Lord High Chancellor, would not, without other resources, meet the exigency of the case, I would, therefore, suggest the formation of a Curates' Fund, under the patronage of your Lordship and other dignitaries of the Church ; this fund to be raised out of voluntary contributions ( I do not mean annual subscriptions) from the higher orders of ecclesiastics, and from laymen wl o have the welfare of the established religion at heart. The fund thus raised to be under the trust, direction, and control of a select number of the clergy and laity who have conduced to its formation, and the said fund to be susceptible of augmentation, from time to time, by bequests from pious and benevolent persons. But it may be said that there already exists, and has existed for a series of years, a Clerical Fund. True, and a most ex. cellent institution it is; but it is restricted to the relief of the widows and orphans of clergymen, without affording any aid whatever to the unbeneficed clergy during their lives, how ever pressing their necessities may be. Should it be said that Curates have it in their power to aug ment their income by engaging in tuition, I would remark that this cannot always be done. In populous parishes the daily performance of the baptismal and funeral ceremonies, and the visiting and praying by the sick, subject the parochial clergy to such constant interruptions as to render the coupling to gether of the two functions of priest and perceptor scarcely practicable ; besides, ill health is too often a bar to such'a cir cumstance. I would, therefore, entertain the hope that, after bestowing due consideration on the subject, your Lordship may be in duced to call a meeting of the Bishops and dignified clergy, for the purpose of submitting to them a set of propositions for carrying into effect, either in the whole or in part, or under any modifications which your Lordship's better judgment may point out, the plan above suggested, by which the condition of the Curates may be placed on a less precarious and more re spectable footing. Unless this be done, how can it be ex pected that the Church should continue to be served and upheld by men of learning, piety, and talents. I have the honour to be, most respectfully, your Lordship's very obedient servant, A LAYMAN. Jan. 3, 1835. DUBLIN. (FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) The Irish constituent body is distinguished more than that of the sister country by a sort of flying artillery, who are put in the most active requisition on the occasion of a general election. These are the electoral pluralists, who enjoy the franchise in several different places, and who may be seen posting from one polling place to another in breathless baste, to take a part in every contest. The members of the aristo cracy in general gather their incomes from scattered particles of property here and there ; and there are few persons in Ire land possessed of any considerable interest in land, whose stake in the country is not made up of numerous twigs after this fashion. The number of such voters is increased by the favoured sons of the church, who having deaneries, rec tories, vicarages, prebends, and perpetual cures in various localities, hold it a sacred duty to cry aloud and spare not at every hustings and polling-booth within the circle of their in fluence. This flying party is very strong, and has often the effect of turning the scale against the resident electors. They are for the most part Tories, and their " mouvement " is favourable to anything but liberty. The labour of a general election is no joke to them. Nothing but the " amor patrim" could sustain it. At the last great battle, I saw a fat and pursy prebendary at Kilmainham bustling tbrough the re pealers to record his ineffectual vote for Mr. Hamilton. He had just arrived from making a similar demonstration for Mr. Vereker, in Limerick, where he has a stall ; and was very urgent to get polled without delay, so as to have time to eat his dinner before the starting of the Belfast mail coach, that he might give his orthodox support to that spoiled pet of the mother church, Lord Castlereagh. I ventured to ask if ho meant to preach at his church near Downpatrick on the fol lowing Sunday. It was a rare opportunity of renewing his ancient acquaintance with his parishioners ; but alas! the stern call of duty obliged him to forego so providential an ad vantage, for be must haste back to the college to vote for Lefray and Shaw. There good folk suffer amazingly for their com:try, and look forward with unaffected dismay to the days of trie.lnial parliaments. Whatever hopes, and they are at best but slender, the Tories cherish .of succeeding against any of the southern con stituencies, are in a great measure dependent on their 46 vol tiLreurs ; " and sciordingly no small skill and manceuvering arc requisite to time the various elections, so as to secure the übiquity of such valuni..le and untiring supporters. Much loss would be sustained, if the elections were to occur simul taneously : but there is little danger of that, as the sheriffs, selected by our .excellent judges, are in general most ;anxious to take sugge stions from the proper quarter, and to assist the policy of the ascendant faction. That policy is obvious. The lirle. - ty of the subject is to be dispatched after the manner of street-firing, so that the same persons may have leisure to fire, fall back and re-load, fire again, retire and come forward as often as time and their physical powers shall enable them. - Another object to be achieved by taking the elections in succession is not quite so consitutional, hut it is not a bit the less influential on that account. The convenience of loco motive electors is the first thing to be attended to, and the transmission of troops the next best thing to that. There is only a matter of 25,000 soldiers in Ireland, and what are they if scattered over thirty-two counties ? Our governors are too good tacticians to suffer the chief arm of their power to be weakened and spread abroad in detachments when so much substantial work is to be done. They will act in masses, and overrun the hostile counties in succession. For example : it is arranged that the Carlow election shall have precedence of the election in the neighbouring Queen's County. A hard struggle against the people is threatened in each of those counties ; and a full complement of troops must be quartered in the towns and villages during each contest. But by the arrangements which has been made, the same force can he brought to bear on both ; whereas if the elections were simul taneous, it would be necessary in consequence of thus extend ing the scene of action, to weaken some other point by de taching an additional regiment of foot and some field pieces to strengthen this central division. We have not beard that any detachments will be wanted among the villages of Kil kenny or Kildare ; because the contest in those counties, though likely to be a most wicked one, is among competiors who are all equally pledged against the Tories ; so that the issue is of no public importance ; and as to broken heads, let them go in the general account. There will certainly be less bloodshed where there are fewer soldiers. The meditated cantonment of these troops is a gross infringement of the freedom of election ; but it is a still more unwarrantable in vasion of the domestic rights and comforts of the people: for the soldiers are to be billetted on t'Ae householders, in the places where it shall be thought proper to quarter them, and the very persons, whom they arc brought to coerce and in timidate, must leave their own beds and give up their firesides to accommodate the agents of the sword-in-haud administra tion. " Quosquo tandem?" The Courier de r Ain states that there have been lately shot by the keepers and others in the environs of Bourg, in that department, three wolves, four wild boars, and 16 foxes. The workmen commenced on Friday morning mak— ing: preparations in Guildhall for the approachinn. election. A double row of desks (one behind the other), the front r , -,w for the poll clerks, and the other for check clerks, has b ee ,:t erected at the end of the ball opposite the hustings, an d . a , i narate desks for 26 clerks. The votes will be taken a i p h a b et cally. A letter placed over the seat of each of the poll clerks will at once direct the voter where he has to go, and will prev,:mt a great deal of confusion. In the other part of the hall, near the hustings, very strong.barricrs have been erected, to p:event any accident from. the.pressure of the crowd. The arrangements are nearly the same at those made at the last election.
