LOU claimed to speak in the stead of that Hon. Gentleman ; •. but the Blue party were so elamoro.lts against the claim, that be thought it, on the whole, rd it was of little consequence, better to yield. The scene now. Ir . ,came highly interesting ; both parties spread their fore' s out to the best advantage, and the great superiority of the Reformers became more striking. The Mayor first called for a show of hands in behalf of Sir John Beckett—this was responded to by a very imposing display. " E'er Mr. Baines" was then announced, and the effect of the ktplay of the Blues was much diminished by the wonderful tight which presented itself. The Reformers stretched as far as further back from the hustings than the Blues, while they were net confined by rails, so that they spread towards the left in mach more extensive ranks than their opponents. There could be no doubt, and reiterated shouts burst from all parts of their body as they perceived their victory; this was suc ceeded by clapping of hands, waving of hats, &c. The show for Colonel Tempest seemed nearly as large as for Sir John Beckett, his supporters being formed wholly in their ranks. The name of " Mr. William Brougham" produced a display equal to that of Mr. Baines. His Worship then said---" Gen tlemen, I declare the show of hands to be in favour of Mr. Baines and Mr. Brougham." A tremendous and long-con tinued burst of applause followed this declaration. During the rejoicings a poll was demanded for Sir J. Beckett and Colonel Tempest, which the Mayor granted, to commence at nine o'clock on Wednesday morning. Yesterday at one o'clock a deputation from the electors of Leeds arrived at the London Hotel, Albemarle -street, having performed that distance in the short space of seventeen hours, to solicit Mr. William Brougham to become one of their re presentatives, as the show of hands, on Monday last, was con siderably in his favour. LICHFIELD.—NOMINATION. JAN. 5.---The usual ceremony of opening the business hav ing been gone into, Dr. Harwood proposed Sir George Anson. T. B. Chinn, Esq., seconded the nomination. The Rev. Thomas Levett proposed Sir Edward Scott, the Reverend Chancellor Law seconded the nomination. Thomas Stripling, Esq., proposed Mr. Finch, Charles Simpson, Esq., seconded the nomination. The poll is fixed by the Sheriff to take place on Wednesday and Thursday next. LINCOLN. —NOMINATION. Mom )Av.—This day the nomination took place. C. Beaty, Esq., M.D., proposed Edward Lytton Bulwcr, and W. Rudyard, Esq., seconded the nomination. The, Very Reverend the Dean of Windsor (Dr. Gordon), proposed Colonel Sibthorp ; and Dr. Cookson seconded the Domination. Alderman Wrigglesworth proposed Captain Phipps, upon sound Reform principles; and Sutton Harvey, Esq., seconded the nomination. The two reforming candidates then addressed the electors ; and the gallant Colonel attempted to speak, but could not ob tain a hearing. The show of hands was in favour of Mr. Bul wer and Captain Phipps. The poll takes place to-morrow. MAIDSTONE. TUESDAY.—The polling commenced - this morning. The Tories were (Ile earliest in the field, and as much as 501. was offered by them for a single plumper for Mr. Lewis, their can didate. about two o'clock, the poll was closed by consent. of all parties. The numbers then were— Mr. Lewis Mr. Roberts Mr. Barnett (the time he resigned) 333 Alderman Lucas Mr. Hildvard The MAYOR then declared that Messrs. Lewis and Robarts Were elected. Perhaps a more infamous election never took place under ihe domination of rotten boroughs. The town of Maidstone, containing sixteen thousand inhabitants, had been • treache rously- and infamously sold by the venality of about three hundred voters. Corporation Reform is the only cure (always excepting the ballot) for this horrid state of things. The election must have cost Mr. Lewis upwards of ten thousand pounds. MONMO UTH. JAN. s.—The nomination day for the boroughs of Newport, Usk, and Monmouth, is Friday next, and the polling will com mence on Monday. The struggle will be obstinate in the extreme. NEWCASTLE-UNDER-LINE. MONDAY, JAN. s.—The election took place to-day. The candidates were Mr. Miller and Sir H. Willourrhby, the late =embers, and Mr. Edmund Peel, of Bonehill, near Tam worth, brother of the Premier. Peel and Miller are returned ; the former was 200 a-head Willoughby had left. PLYMOUTH. JAN. 4.—The nomination for this borough takes place to morrow. Tht candidates are Messrs. Collier and Ben es (the late members), who a re stanc h R e f ormers , an d Si r George Cockburn, the nominee of the Government and the Corpora : tion. The defeat of the Tories is most certain. READING. TUESDAY EVENING, JAN. 6.—The election of two members for this borough commenced this morning at eight o'clock. The candidates being Mr. B. Oliveira, Mr. Sergeant Tal fourd, and Mr. Russell. The two former steady and strenuous advocates of reform, arid the latter " a Conservative of the first water." At the close of the pool at four o'clock this day the cumbers were— Mr. Serjeant Talfourd Mr. Oliveira Mr. Russell 174 The late member, C. F. Palmer, did not come forward, but retired in favour of Mr. Talfourd. 400 electors have polled. EDINBURGH. CITY. (Abridged from the Caledonian. Mercury of Monday,) SIR JOHN CAMPBELL'S ADDRESS. , Sir John Campbell, having hilted tue electors to meet him in the Waterloo loems, on Saturday, at two o'clock after noon, to receive from him an explanation of his p?litir.l ten,. timeuts, a large body of persons accordinglr anembled in that place. The room, indeed, was crowded in every quarter. Sir John was accompanied by Mr. Abercromby, the Lord Provost, Professor Napier, Mr. J. B. Greenshields, advocate, Mr. Thomson, advocate, Mr. Cuninghame, advocate, Mr. James Craufurd, advocate, Mr. Peddie, W. S., Mr. F. Howden, Mr. John Anderson, jun., &c., and a number of members of his Committee. He was received with great enthusiasm. On the motion of Mr, Andrew Miller, the Lord Provost was called to the chair. Sir J.' CAMPBELL then rose amidst cheering and waving of hats, which having subsided, he proceeded as follows :—Gen tlemen, I have had offer , ' from other quarters, which I have respectfully declined, and I hurried down to Edinburgh the moment I saw the King's proclamation. I own to you, that until I read that proclamation, I doubted whether the present Ministry would have had the folly, I had.almost said wicked ness—( Hear)—abruptly to dissolve the first Reformed Parlia ment that ever sat in Great Britain.—(Cheers.) But, gen tlemen, they have played out their last trump.—(Laughter and cheers.) We are told that the country has lately suffered much from agitation, and we have heard much of the pressure from without. But, gentlemen, who are the agitators now ? Before two months expire, I am afraid there will be an agita tion in this country of which we have had no example during the existing generation. And who have caused that agitation ? Who but the pretended enemies of agitation, and those who say they wish tranquillity to prevail. Tranquillity did prevail. The people were contented, and submissive to the laws ; they wished to have their grievances redressed by their own repre sentatives. But an act has been done, the consequences of which I look forward to with dismay and apprehension. lam afraid a collision is about to take place, not merely between party and party, but between different classes of this great community ; and unless men more disinterested, more cool headed, and more wise, than those who have resorted to the measure of a dissolution shall interpose, I tremble for the con sequences. Gentlemen, there was little to be exi ected from a Ministry that came into existence in the manner in which the present Administration was created. I must always speak respectfully of the prerogative of the Crown • but I cann o t forget that th e p rerogat i ve i s vested i n his :Majesty for the good of the people. I shall always speak with reverence and affection of the Sovereign now upon the Throne. But at the same time, gentlemen, I must freely, and as a British subject, declare, that the exercise of that prerogative by which the late Administration was dismissed was most unconstitutional. Well, gentlemen, what took place upon the dismissal of that Government?, You had the Dictatorship, or, as it might be called, the Protectorate of the Duke of Wellington. The Duke became Dictator, and combined in his one person the offices of Secretaries of State, First Lord of the Admiralty, President of Council, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. He was, I may say, Attorney and Solicitor-General—( Loud laughter)—for, although we remained nominally in office du ring the Dictatorship, it was only to sign papers and perform routine business. And, gentleman, this will require some explanation—for you, my constituents, may well ask whether I ought not to be ashamed of having been Attorney-General to the Dictator.—( Laughter.) lam astonished I received no letters from you complaining of a breach of duty. But I may inform you, that there was a meeting held (after my Right Hon. Colleague had left London, however) of those who had enjoyed office during the late Administration, to'take into consideration whether or not they should continue to act in any manner after Lord Melbourne's dismissal, and it was then stated to be an invariable rule to retain office until successors should be appointed, and we therefore resolved to make no exception to the general rule, nor factiously to oppose the new Government—in short, to do nothing disrespectful towards the Crown, but to continue nominally in office until Sir Ro bert Peel should return from Italy—at the same time protest ing that this should not impede our calling in question this unconstitutional state of affairs. For since the time of Au gustus, who acquired absolute power in a manner very much the same, there had been nothing like it in Europe. I ab solve the Duke of Wellington froth entertaining any ambi tious notion of acquiring and retaining absolute power ; but I must say, that that act, if allowed to pass uncensured, may prove fatal to the liberties of the country.—( Hear, hear. ) At last Sir Robert Peel arrived from Italy, and the Duke laid down the fasces. Sir Robert issued his manifesto. Gentle men, I know not, for I have had so little opportunity since then to mix with you, what you thought of that production. But I know that in London it was thought at best to be rather a shuffling production. It bound Sir Robert Peel down to one thing —namely, to hold sacred all the abuses of' the Irish Church, but it left him quite loose in every thing else. Sir Robert Peel is an honourable man, and I believe will prove himself to be a consistent one. He says he would never have accepted of place at the price of being an apostate to his opi nions. Gentlemen, I belieVe that is true. I believe that Sir Robert Peel has ever regretted the part which he took, as a minister of the Crown, in carrying the measure of Catholic emancipation. I have myself observed him show great bitter ness and soreness upon that subject. If these, then, are the sentiments of Sir Robert Peel with regard to the part he took in carrying Catholic emancipation, which he had always before opposed, you may rest assured that he will remain consistent, and will be Orange Peel to the last.—( Laughter and cheers.) Well, then, Gentlemen, what do you think of Sir Robert's colleagues ?—beginning with Sir Edward Knatchbull and ending with Lord Roden—all Ultra- Orange 2—( Cheers. ) How do you think Sir Robert Peel will like to march through Coventry with such a regiment ?—( Laughter and cheers. ) How is he to control such a Cabinet ? There are none of his colleagues who have not both spoken and voted against all those points on which he says he is a Liberal. I cannot help thinking, that if he had his way, Parliament would not have been dissolved; and I must foresee that he will be overruled in all important points, and that Ultra-Toryism will be the order of the day.--( Cheers.) Gentlemen, when the new Parliament meets, I am afraid the situation of the Ministry will resemble that of the ancient Britons when the Romans had withdrawn— they will find only barbarians on one side, and the sea on the other.—( Cheers.) You will have all heard of a letter written to Rome, called " The Tears of the Briton." I suspect you will soon hear of a letter written from London by Sir George Clerk—( Hear, hear)—or some etlier of his colleagues, superscribed " The Tears of tl' Vories."— (Great cheering.) They were afraid the late would swamp them ; b u t th ey w ill 'tate Parliament and the new Par -1 liament worse. To hope for l'. l :Jeral measures from sueh men as the new Ministry., I say is entirely vain.— Looking, Gentlemen, at the . ., new list of the Ministry, I think it would be the best a''..vertisement that a liberal candidate could offer, to hold up to the electors. There is not to be found in this list one single individual who did not speak against, vote '',,gainst, in every stage, and exercise his utmost infiuenc'e to prevent the Reform Bill from passing, and to keep '':;ou in slavery.—(Great cheering.) I shall not fac tio.ur,ty oppose the new Government. But I s a y thi s , t h at unless those who are appointed by the King possess the ''..-onfidence of the people, they ought to be removed.—( Great cheering.) It is not for me to speak of the measures which were in contemplation by the late Administration. I was but an humble individual. I was not a Member of the Ca binet. But I must anticipate, notwithstanding what Sir R. Peel says, that Municipal Reform will take place. You have no idea in this country of the corruptions existing in the English Corporations. Many existed in your's ; but your's were poorer and purer. The English Corporations possess enormous wealth, which they dedicate to the cause of corruption. In many of the great cities of England, the people are tyrannised over by a selfish and odious Oligarchy. But I hope a stop will soon be put to all municipal abuses, and that this will be one of the first objects of any new Go vernment which may be established. I hope also there will be reforms in the Church. Regarding the Irish Church, Gentle men, I must consider it as an abuse altogether.—(Cheers.) I shall glory to see that abuse rectified ; but I never would consent to touch ecclesiastical property, or divert it from eccle siastical purposes.—( Hisses and cheers.) I hope it is unne cessary for me at present to go into any exposition of those principles on which I solicit your support. Ido not wish to trench upon the rights of the House of Lords as they exist ; but I earnestly wish that they were more enlightened, more liberal, more discerning, and that they knew better the situa tion in which they are placed.—(Cheers.) With regard to civil rights and privileges, I wish to see all on a level, and that they should be equally dispensed both to Churchmen and Dissenters, and to attain that object I shall assiduously labour; and it is upon these grounds, and on these principles, that I now again solicit your suffrages to return me as your represen tative in Parliament.—( Immense cheering and waving of hats.) Mr. KNOX, teacher, then rose and asked of Sir John whe ther he would, if returned to Parliament, advocate a farther extension of the franchise in any degree ? Sir JOHN CAMPBELL replied, that at the present moment he would not. Mr. Kmox then asked whether Sir John would be favour. able to the introduction of the ballot? Sir JOHN CAMPBELL considered the ballot an evil, but it might become a necessary evil. It was desirable, however, that every man should be allowed boldly and openly, and with out apprehension, to exercise the franchise in the face of the country._( Cheers. ) Mr. KNox next asked, whether Sir John would support the repeal of the Septennial Act ? Sir JOHN CAMPBELL considered the origin of the Septennial Act a great usurpation and stretch of power ; and it could only be defended on the ground of its being necessary for a tempo rary purpose, and he should rejoice to see it repealed, and Par liaments of such length as should allow public business to go on in a proper manner, without making representatives inde pendent of their constituents.—( Cheers.) Sir JOHN, in answer to the next question from Mr. Knox, whether he would oppose any and every measure of the Peel Administration, said, that so far from that, if Sir Robert Peel should move for leave to bring in a bill for the reformation of the Church of Ireland. he should second the motion--( Cheers. ) Mr. KNOX agreed with the latter sentiment, but on the other questions he was any thing but satisfied—( Laughter.) Mr. PEDDIE then asked if he would vote for the repeal of the Corn Laws ? Sir JOHN was an enemy to all restrictions on trade, and wished to see that in corn as free as any other; but in the existing depression of the agricultural interests, he thought any violent or immediate change was to be avoided. Mr. CRAIG, tailor, asked if Sir John would support a mea sure for the endowment of Popery in Ireland ?—( Hisses.) Sir JOHN replied, that he should not wish to sec the Roman Catholic religion endowed. Mr. J. B. GREENSHIELDS, advocate s then rose and moved., I ST. ALBANS. THURSDAY, Afternoon—The poll has just closed here, and Mr. Ward, despite the desperate efforts of the Tories, has triumphed. All the money with which the Carlton Club has supplied Mr. Beresford has been expended in vain. Mr. Ward is one of the most valuable Reformers in the House of Commons. Mr. Ward polled more thau two hundred plumpers. STAFFORDSHIRE. The Tories cannot bring a man into the field for the south ern division. Mosely and Butler, the late Members, will, therefore, walk over the course ; as will Littleton and Wrot tesley in the northern division. STAFFORD—NOMINATION. STAFFORD, JAN. 5.--Captain Chetw.ynd was proposed by Alderman Rogers, and seconded by Alderman Fowkc. Mr. Thomas Frith proposed Captain Gronow. Mr. Masten surgeon, proposed Mr. Goodricke; seconded by Mr. Lloyd, manufacturer. ' Mr. Farrand was proposed by Mr. Pussman, solicitor, and seconded by Mr. Glover, plumber. Sir Charles Wolsely, was proposed by Mr. Kenderdine, hosier, and seconded by Mr. Wood, inkeeper. Close of the first day's poll, Monday, four o'clock : Goodricke Ch et wynd Gronow Farrand Wolsely WAKEFIELD. DEFEAT OF THE TORIES. MONDAY, JAN. s.—The nomination of candidates f or the representation of this borough took place at eight o; clock this morning, and the polling afterwards commenced. JOHN EGREMONT Esq., proposed Daniell Ci, a , s k e ll , E sq., of Lupset Hall, and the nomination was secon ... l ied by the Rev. Dr. NAYLOR, amidst loud cheers. DANIEL GASKELL, Esq. then address.ed the meeting, and was most enthusiastically cheered thre'Jghout his speech. In the course of it he said, that in reF,ard to the changes which had recently taken place in his_ 'majesty's councils, he most sincerely lamented them, for hr, feared that they would be pro ductive of the most serious r•rAlamities ; and that the appoint ment of the Duke of Wel'Ai:agton to form a new Administra tion, the character of th'%. individuals associated with him and Sir Robert Peel, and '+„'ne dissolution of the reformed Parlia ment—all tended fr., impress upon his mind the conviction that the object of 9v, present Administration would be no check to the progress 1-1 reform-4 Cheers. ) THOMAS e ß A ipg, Esq., proposed, and SAMUEL STOCKS, Esq, seconded the nomination of the Hon. William Sebright Las celles, Fon of the Earl of Harewood, in dumb show, for not a sentence could he heard of the sentiments of either of them. Oil a show of hands, there was a majority of three to one in favour of Mr. Gaskell. JO4EPII HOLDSWOREI, Esq., the returning officer, then de clared that the show of hands was in his favour.—(Tremen dous cheering.) A poll was demapded on the part of Mr. Lascelles. At the close of the poll in the evening of the first day, the numbers were declared to be— For Mr. Gaskell For Mr. Lascelles Majority in favour of the Liberal candidate -55 At the close of the day's poll, Mr. Laecelles, finding his caso hopeless, gave in, much to the disappointment of his Tory friends, who were looking out anxiously for the spoils of the secossd day's contest. Thus has reform obtained another victory. Mr. Serjeant Spankie attended, at half-past nine o'clock yesterday morning, the Inquest-room of St. Andrew's Church, and voted for the three Tory candidates, Messrs. Lyall, Ward, and Wilson. In the crim. con. case, Story v. Story, a report of which a e gave a few days ago, judgment was given on Monday by the Court of Delegates, affirming the sentences of divorce pronounced by the Consistory and Arches Courts, and ap pealed from by Mrs. Story. Sir Philip Sidney., one of his Majesty's sons-in-law, is to be created Lord budley and Leicester ; one account, we believe, incorrectly, says Lord Debrett ; but the mistake does not surprise us, who know that Sir Philip has been long wavering as to the title he would prefer, and we have heard of some thirty or forty titles he has had at various times in con templation.—Morning Advertiser. The Duke of Leuchtenberg, it is expected, will take up his abode while in London at the Clarendon, where apart ments have been engaged for him. The William Fawcett (not the Monarch) having on board the Portuguese Minister and M. Mendizabal, will sail to-day for Ostend, where the Duke will embark with the Conde Ficalho and Baron da Ban deira, the commissioners despatched by the Portuguese Go vernment to Munich. The Duke, after a brief sojourn at Brighton, will proceed to Falmouth, where there is a small squadron of men-of-war waiting his arrival.

" Guildhall Coffee-house, sth Jan. 1835, " Sin, Four o'clock, P.M. " We, the undersigned, beg to express to you our high opinion and grateful sense of the extreme rapidity as well as faithful ness of the reports given in your paper of this evening of the proceedings (within one hour and a half of their occurrence) at the Common Hall for the election of the City of London, as well as the pi-oceedings for the Southwark election,—a rapi dity and faithfulness valuable at all times, but peculiarly im portant on the present occasion, when the most valuable results may be expected to the country from the early and faithful report of the noble example thus set by the City of London and the Borough of Southwark.

Mr. O'Connell's appearance in Kerry has decided the elec tion of Mr. Morgan John O'Connell, and Mr. Mallins. The Knight of Kerry has not the least chance of success. KILKENNY (COUNTY). Captain Bryan has withdrawn from the contest, and there is no opponent to dispute its representation with Col. Butler and Mr. Finn. KILDARE. The candidates for this county are ns numerous as the spirits of ,Banquo's regal descendants ; but none, we believe, will be considered so worthy of representing the people as the two late members, Mr. Ruthven and Mr. O'Ferrall, who have pror(d their anxiety to have tithes fully and completely abolishcd, in this county. L ONGFORD. The electors upon the independent interest in this county have been called upon by Mr. Luke White. If oat interest be united and &iv, the defeat of the Tories, :..efroy and Forbes, must be the consequence. TRINITY COLLEGE. The Provost has fixed upon Thursday next for ths election, The late Orange and Tory members will, of course, be're• elected. WICKLOW. There cannot be the slightest doubt of the return of the late Liberal members. MEATH. The Orange and Tory Ministry know so little of Ireland that they have absolutely required their partisans in this county to oppose the re-election of the late Members. We under stand that the Duke of Wellington has written to Sir Charles- Dillon, urgin him to start as the second Tory candidate, the Hon. Randal Plunkett being already in the field. For the comfort of the Duke we can furnish him with a correct esti mate of the strength of the respective parties :—The Tory electors amount to 300, the pledged Reformers to 1,300. Sir William Somerville was aware of this fact when he prudently determined on abandoning Meath, and canvassing the English borough of Wenlock. CORK COUNTY. At a meeting of the electors of the county Cork, held on Thursday, it was unanimously resolved. to support the late Mem bers, Mr. O'Connor and Mr. Barry, at the ensuing contest. HASTINGS, JAN. 6. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—When the Peel Covernment dissolved the Parliament, you called upon all Reformers to be at their posts.

Mr. Hill made a brilliant speech of nearly three hours, Hutt a very good speech, and Carruthers was heard with great impatience by tin immense concourse of 10,000 people, when a show of hands was taken, and, as reported to this Committee, in favour of the two Reformers by 100 to 1. Our poll commenced this morning ; and at eleven o'clock, the latest moment for post, it stands as below. We shall have a severe contest. I remain, Sir, your most obedient servant, H. J.

Our election terminated yesterday by the re-election of Lord Hotham and Thomas Bish, Esq. Our old Members, Mr. l-logg and Mr. Merryweather Turner, the two Barristers, had retired ; perhaps they considered we had lawyers enough without them. The two candidates proc eded at ten o'clock, with their bands and colours, to the School-house, where the election was held, before William Newman, Esq., the Bailiff and Returning Officer. Alder man Burlton and Alderman Davis proposed and seconded Lord Hotham—Counsellor Davies and Dr. Rudge proposed and seconded Mr. Bish; and there being no opposition, they were declared duly elected : and as all was over by eleven, it is not unlikely they were the two first Members elected for th e ne w P ar li am ent. y The chair ing began at twelve, and lasted till near three. In the evening Lord Hotham and his friends dined at the King's Arms, and Mr. Bish and his friends at the Lion. The wines and dinners were excellent, and did great credit to the respective landlords. The Theatre was opened by Mr. Landers with the play of " Laugh when you can," and the farce of " A Day after the Fair." Though the politics of the Members are as wide as the two poles, yet the utmost cordiality exists between them and their respective parties. The town was thronged, and the windows were well filled with lovely women, displaying the colours of their favourite Members. PORTSMOUTH-JAN. 6. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Our first day's polling is over, and notwithstanding every exer tion that has been made by the Government people here, we mean the underlings, for to the great credit of tic heads of departments, Admiral Sir Thomas Williams, Frederick Maitland, and Ge neral Sir T. M‘Mahon, b‘: sa id , that they have in nowise inter fered ; we say, that *notwithstanding the intimidation of these sy cophants of moment, their idol Sir Charles Rowley is only third on +. l :le - poll, and we believe he has by the exertion of his committee polled every vote promised him to four o'clock this afternoon : still 400 voters are unpolled, and the exertions making to influence these are unparalleled. Committees and candidates are flying about in every direction, threats are held out in every shape, and much we suspect, from the infleence we have seen, that at any future elec tion, unless we have vote by ballot, that Portsmouth, with its 1,300 voters, will dwindle into a Government borough. The dock-yard workmen had a holyday to-day, that those among them that had votes may tender them,—here, therefore Rowley's strength is exhausted, and to-morrow, we doubt not, he will get far a-stern. To show to what extent the new Government lends itself to electioneering matters, we can only record, that a man of the name of Moorman, who was confined in Winchester Gaol on a charge of smuggling, and who had in vain repeatedly applied to our late Members to get released through their influence, and had been denied, was released on Thursday last by a Treasury order, at the application of the Tory Mr. 'leming who offers himself for the county, under the hope, or promise, or expectation, that out of gratitude for his release, or probably in the spirit of revenge against Carter and Baring for their refusal to him, that he would vote for Rowley. However, we rejoice to say, in this instance the biters were bit, for he was early at the poll, and voted for CARTER and BA RING, saying, that if he had been an offender against the laws, and had been punished therefore, he had no idea that the justice of the country was to be sold, as a Bribe for a Government Admiralty Lord. Our numbers at the close of the poll to-day were : John Bonham Carter Francis Thornhill Baring 449 Don Napier 278 Sir Charles Rowley ... 448 GERMAN PAPERS. BRUSSELS, JAN. 3.—The Gendschen Mercurius contains the following paragraph : " Immediately on .the meeting of the Chamber of Representa tives after the holidays the Duputies of Flanders will bring forward a proposal, with a view to obtain an alteration in the Tariff of Cus toms concerning the import duties on fine cotton manufactures coming fr:im foreign countries. The terms in which the proposal is zirawn up are not yet known, but we understand that it is such that, if adopted, it will almost wholly satisfy the desires of the ma nufacturers." The Courrier de la Meuse says it is completely false that Gen. Debbits refuses young men of Macstricht permission to go and study in Belgium, and that it could produce a multitude of examples which prove the contrary. ANTWERP.—During the year 1834, 1054 ships entered this port, of the burden altogether of 141,465 tons. The number of ships that cleared out was 1060, of which 817 were foreign and 246 Belgian ; 201 Belgian and 464 foreign ships sailed with car goes ; 46 Belgian and 353 foreign in ballast. A larger amount of coffee, cotton, hides, rice, sugar, and tea, was imported in 1834 than in any of the five years preceding. BELGIAN FUNDS.—BHUSSELS, JAN. a Actual Det,t, I*i per cent.

Letters received from Albania announce the breaking out of a general insurrection there ; the warlike inhabitants have declared themselves independent of the Porte. Taphil Muzis with 6,000 men occupied Perali, and the Zsokides, Tepelens and Argprokastron. The insurgents have every where expelled the local authorities. Two leaders are at the head of the foremost divisions, one of which advances against Janina, the other towards Pitolia. Wherever they come they burn and plunder. The Albanians have bound themselves by an oath to lay down their arms till their independence is acknowledged. They have appointed a council, and we are assured that this insurrection is of a very serious nature.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 7, 1835. FOUR MORE REFORMERS RETURNED FOR THE METROPOLIS ! . LONDON HAS DONE ITS DUTY ! COUNTRYMEN! FOLLOW ITS EXAMPLE ! Many a proud day has the City of London seen ; many a splendid victory have the citizens of London won ; but never did she see so proud a day as this, never did her citizens win so splendid a victory as that which we have now the heartfelt satisfaction to announce. The cause of Constitutional Reform has triumphed in the capital of the British Empire, as such a cause ought to triumph in such a place, honourably, nobly, gloriously. On this ever memorable occasion, the Re formers of London count not their majority by units, nor even by hundreds, but by thousands. And when it is considered that this majority has not been swelled to its vast extent by the purchased votes of those unprin cipled wretches, who barter the rights of their fellow-citizens for gold, nor by the involuntary instrumentality of those unfortunate men, who are driven by the cart-whip of the oppressor to violate the sacred dictates of conscience ; but that the homage thus paid to Reform:is an unbought and spon taneous tribute to a great principle ; what a spectacle of moral grandeur is exhibited by the inhabitants of the Metropolis I What a crowd of reflections does this spectacle force upon the mind ! How throbs the pulse of the patriot, as he contemplates the long vista of improvement now opening on his country I How does the heart of the philanthropist grow warm, as his delighted fancy pourtrays the happier destinies that await mankind At the Liverpool nomination, which took place on Monday last, Lord SANDON made one of those des perate, headlong plunges int? red-hot Conservatism, which men are apt to make, when they have once re solved to turn their backs on the people. After .a world of rabid twaddle, his Lordship observed fliat. 44 the destiny and the dearest interests of the country were involved in the existence. of the present Admini stration.''; If r this be the edte, it it clear that . the country `Must'be in a most woeful condition of igno rance as =regards its own, ftarits, for it is just now, from one end to the other, stirring heaven and earth to got rid pf. that very Administration with whom, on Lord SANDON's showing, its " dearest interests" are involved I But can . such an infatuation on the part of three, kingdoms be considered possible ? Can any man with two ideas in his 'head imagine for an instant that —combined Scotland—combined Irelandcombined Eniland—are in such a state of deplorable imbecility, that they are not fit to be trusted with the choice of their own rulers ? If his ultra-Conservative Lord ship's hypothesis be correct, it follows as a necessary consequence, that the people of these realms are all frantic Bedlamites. But his remark is scarce, worthy of refutation. It is one of those 'shallow, impertinen t sneers, which are the blended results of fear, hardi hood, and desperation. His Lordship went on to say, " He would intreat them to take care that they did not, by reforming too much, return to the state of savages." It would seem from this, that savages are all Re formers ; and that, if we persevere in our efforts to reform the abuses in Church and State, we shall infallibly become cannibals, like the New , Zea landers, and eat each other up I It is not thus that Sir JOHN CAMPBELL arguis. He seems to think that Reform, so far from reducing us to a condition of primitive barbarism, will have all the beneficial effects that a temperate but.. stirring pi* cess of enlightenment can have on man. The speech of Sir JOHN CAMPBELL, which will be found in another column, is one of the most able we have read for some time. He shows lyirnself in every sentence, the firm, steady, uncompromising Advocate of Reform. He is no craven. He is not afraid of the present gallant show of the people. No, lie feels that they are battling in an honest cause, and fights side by side with them. Of course he will be returned for Edinburgh. We would not insult the citi zens of the Scottish metiopolis, by supposing for a moment that it could be otherwise. 'Meantime, — countrymen, .though your friends in all quarters are daily—hourly—gaining strength, do not—for God's salle, do not T.—relax in your exertions. Be firm to the last. Be unanimous to the last. Be at your 'posts, each and all of you, till you hear the last gun fired, of the flying enemy. Imitate the Duke of WELLINGTON at Waterloo I He had his watch in his hand, and all his faculties on the alert, `till he had seen the last retreating Frenchman dwindled to a speck in the distance, on the battle-field We regret that, from want of space, we are com= polled to abridge the Report of Sir J. CAMPBELL'S speech at Edinburgh, but a full report of it will be published , by Ridgway in the course of the afternoon. Great as the. events of the last few hours have Made the triumph of the Reformers, the electors must not be too much elated. A glorious victory is in prospect ; but to secure it past all peril, and to signalize it with yet greater brilliancy, not one effort must be relaxed. The Reformers must proceed as they have begun, earnestly and resolutely to the end. Just to win the battle is almost as bad as just to lose it ; the enemy may be under our heel, but unless he be crushed, now that we have the strength and the opportunity to crush, he may rise again to renew the conflict. The vigour of the electors must continue unabated, their zeal unslackened, their strife as fierce at the laSt as it was at the first hour of the contest. They must not be too much flushed with partial conquest : let the conquest be perfect, with not one honour lost that might have been attained, and then will be the time for shouting. With such destructive leaders as Mr. PATTISON and Mr. GROTE, Mr. LEWIS LOYD and Mr. GUR NEY, what may not be hoped of the issue ; but unless, the Reformers are true to their cause, and to their leaders, much may be lost, or rather misgained. The bravest and most skilful General in the world, not even the GREAT DUKE himself, could pursue a victory to the last point of success, unless supported by the unrelaxed fidelity of his troops. We would not that one glory were left ungathered ; we would not that triumph, simply, be achieved, but triumph to the uttermost extremity of victory. Although the Tories have, by one of their organs, declared, that if the people fail to return a Conserva tive majority, they will be again and again appealed to for another and another House of Commons, they should be comforted by the assurance that other eyes than those of the Duke and his party are watching the issue of the present struggle. That Tory daring would, if permitted, proceed to such a revolutionary measure, we cannot doubt ; but we have greater con fidence in the Throne., Let the people do their best, and fear not for the result : they can afford to despise the Tories as a faction, and spurn the hollow threats of Tory leaders. Without offending tender ears by any mention of CHARLES of England, or CHARLES of France, we may perhaps be permitted to whisper the names of POLIGNAC and his colleagues, who are now refreshing themselves in the solitude of a certain Tower, as, a reward for offering loyal, instead of pa triotic advice. Let the people save these .rash men, themselves, and the country, from ruin and blood shedding : they know how to do it, if they will. Union, order, peace—but determination. There is a point of much importance to which we earnestly desire to direct the attention of the electors. In the approaching contest it is not improbable that the eagerness of zeal for men may obscure the crying necessity of certain measures. TRIENNIAL PAR LIAMENTS. and Vote by Ballot must not be forgotten, and every Reform Candidate should be urged to speak out honestly and unequiVocally upon this subject. It is possible that no caprice, miscounsel, or cogency of reason may render necessary the exercise of the Royal Prerogative for seven years to come—too long a time by a great• deal for the people to remain unappealed to. Now, in the present altered state of society, and the changed condition of the spirit of the times, Sep tennial Parliaments are far and away too extensive a cycle of time to be permitted for Legislative gambols ; seven years, it must be borne in mind, constitute the tenth part of a whole generation, and in the mighty advances which all the Sciences are now snaking, it is not at all improbable that certain discoveries in the science of Political Economy may render necessary a more frequent reference to the sentiments of the people, to enable Representatives to understand with clearness and precision the tendency of their wants under new or altered conditions of moral being. It by no means follows that if a change comes over the spirit of a Constituency, a corresponding change shall take I place in that of the Representative whom they' chose some years :!°,o. Man as he indi v id ua lly grows in age becomes prOne to a rather obstinate adherence to the doctrines he espoused in his earlier days : a people do not make these hasty strides towards senescence , Three score years and ten are the allotted period of the life of man ; the age of the world .is supposed to be now approaching to three score centuries and a 'half; yet only at this day begins the light of reason to glim mer forth on the correct government of civilization. Hitherto men seem to have been governed chiefly et regarded their physical being ; the epOch has at length arrived when legislation must be directed to the govern ment of MIND. For this great reason the Law-givers of our present choice must be prepared to move with the same celerity of progress as marks the advances of moral society ; and that they may not lie too long un wisely fallow, their periodical endurance must be abridged. There can be no harm in this, as we showed in a recent number. A good steward becomes rarely $ cast-away ; his providence and honesty are qualities too valuable to be scurvily entreated by his ,employer• His constant preparation, moreover,:to expose his ac counts, as it is one of the surest tests of his probity, $ 0 does it conciliate the confidence and subdue the sus picions of his Lord. It will be a wise precaution, therefore, in the elec tors to mak l e known their wishes upon the subject we have suggested. Triennial Parliaments, and Vote by Ballot (which mode' of voting, perhaps, may pot be required when the people shall have been a little better accustomed to the ex6rfise of their independence than they have heretofore been,) are measures of instant portance to be secured to them : the, one ensures the caution of the Elected, the other the safety of the Electdrs The Paris Papers of Saturday, Sunday, and Mon' day, have all been received. The debate in the Chamber of Deputies on the grant for the erection of the new Court adjo,ining the Chamber of Peers was resumed in the . early part of the sitting of Friday, an d after an animated discussion, in which several DePu . ties who had not before spoken took a part, the debate on the motion was again adjourned till Saturday. I t might surprise an English reader to conceive :how legislative assembly could consume the greater part of a week on a motion of so little moment, apparently as that of granting 360,000 francs for the construction of a public edifice for the administration of justice. 1 3 ° it must not be supposed that the question is regarded by the French Chamber in a pecuniary point of vier* The principle only is looked to ; and it is quite 0 4 ' dent that as the avowed use of the new Court is fo r the trial of the prisoners of April, a vote for its erec' tion is equivalent to admitting the right of the Govern" ment to punish the offenders, which was the question which led to the retirement of Marshal GERARD, an d the late squabbles in the Cabinet. The most remark' able matter about this long debate is, that neither the opposition in the Chamber of Deputies, nor the publ ic press, as far as we have observed, has discovered th e real motives of the Ministry in pressing this motion with such earnestness on the Chamber. From nei" ther of them have we learned that the Ministrl were given to understand that this question is re garded in the same light, by the Court, as if the prisoners themselves were under trial before and by the Chamber of Deputies ; and that the moment this vote is g r anted , that moment have the Deputies recorded their apprn" bation of the forthcoming trials. They seem to Per' suade themselves that M. THlErts made out a gon d case for them, when he attempted to gaiti over the waverers by assuring them that voting for the erection of a judicial edifice for a certain purpose, and voting for the rectitude of the use to which it was proposed to be applied, were very different things. It does not speak well for the logical acuteness of the Chamber, if this reasoning be thought conclusive. The debate was resumed on Saturday, but again adjourned without a division. The Paris Journals contain copies of the addresse s presented by deputations of both Chambers, and the members of various national institutions and publ ic bodies, to the KING, on New•-Years' Day, with hi s MAJESTY'S answers. The sentiments of the KING' as far as they are made known in his answers,, are strictly in conformity with those of the Cabinet, if, a s M. THEIRS declared, it be a cabinet of resistance' As to the question of amnesty, he appears more than ever resolved to oppose it, and even complimented the Peers on the firmness displayed by them in resisting popular clamour. The letters received from Bayonne do not conta any important intelligence with respect to the teritninv tion of the civil war. The Carlists are still in the field, but the engagements are mere skirmishes, in which neither party sustains material injury. F It ENCH FUNDY.-PArits, JAN. b. Five per Cents., !06f.
