I n an extensive practice for some years he Las employed them in the most obstinate Bilious Cases with unvarying suc cess. They operate principally as a deobstruent and pur gative, they promote a proper action of the liter in the secretion of bile, or correct it when in a vitiated btitC. Obstructions of the stomach and bowels are gradually re moved; and by giving tone to the biliary ducts, and strength to the system, tLey afford relief to those who suffer from nervous attacks, sick head-ache, giddiness, in dige.tion, and gouty affection.

RENT. The election of two knights of the shire for this county came on yesterday at Pcnenden-heath, near Maidstone, and produced one of the most exciting and interesting scenes which has been witnessed in that county within the memory of the oldest of its inhabitants. As it was known for many days that Sir Edward Knatchbul! had resigned, and that the Reform candidates would walk over the course, no very great concourse of persons was expected ; but the Reformers of Kent seemed to think that, though it was not necessary to use their strength, it w a s but a just compliment to the cause in which they were engaged to show it. They therefore had made arrangements to assemble in large numbers from all parts of the county on the election day ; and to do justice to the " Cereral Committee," who took upon itself the direction of those movements, we never saw such large masses of men (not being under military command) observe greater order and regularity. It was arranged that the several pro cessions from the various parts of the county, instead of assembling at Maidstone, should, in the first in stance, proceed to Penenden-heath, and take up the station allotted to each. The positions thus marked out formed a semicircle of considerable extent round the Shire-house (as it is called), a small building on the heath, in the front of which temporary hustings were erec - ed. Waggons and various other vehicles, on which boards were placed, were drawn round, sad on boards in front were written the names of the parties, such as " The Rochester party," " The Canterbury party," &c. by which these stations were to be occupied during the election. At an early hour in the morning, crowds were seen moving in all directions to wards the heath, some on foot some on horseback. and a larger number in vehicles of every description. It seemed as if by common cons int a general county testival was to La held, for we believe there were few, if any, parrs of the county of any note which did not send its quota of visiters to take part in the important scene. As the several Reform parties (as they may be called) to distinguish them from the mass of individuals who came without any regular procession) came on the heath, their bands struck up " God save the King." The procession then moved along in very regular orde=r to the places allotted to them, amidst the cheers of the crowds already assembled. Ihe freeholders who came in procession from Canterbury, Rochester, Ashford. &e., the Weald of Kent,Tunbridge, Tenterden, and Hyrhe, c tme some in barouches and four, with a splendid display of flags and banners, chiefly of sky blue (the Reform colour in K , nt), preceded by bands of music. The rear of each procession was brought up by a considerable body of freeholders on horseback, wearing large cockades of tine favourite colour. Many in addition had in front of their hats square pieces of light blue paper, with d tasteful silver border, w thin which were the words in silver letters, "The King—Hodges and Rider—Reform." Before the time fixed for opening the business of the d,ty (half-past ten), the heath was covered with an immense multitude. At eleven the High Sheriff, Baden Powell, Esq., came on the hustings. He was pre ceded a short time by Mr. Hodges and Mr. Rider, who were each loudly cheered as they made their ap pearance on the hustings. The scene at this time on the heath was oneofieere most picturesque which could be well imagined. The barrier formed by the waggons and other vehicles already noticed, presented, from the manner in which the spectators were placed, the ap pearance of a regular amphitheatre, the seats of which, as well as the arena, were as closely thronged as it was possible for human beings to be collected together. The extreme fineness of the day also con tributed much to heighten the brilliancy of the spec tacle, and gave to the knots of blue ribands which everywhere glittered, an unusually gay appearance. Whichever way one turned, the eye was met with blue,—blue, and nothing but blie,—to such an ex tent, that it seemed, and was well expressed by one of the speakers, us if every person in the immense assemblage reflected a portion of the bright blue expanse under which he stood. Without exaggera tion, we should state our belief that at the com mencement of the election there were, at least, forty thousand persons on the heath. The business of the day was opened by the read ing of the writ, after which, the usual formalities having been gone through, The Hon. R. WATSON (Member for Canterbury) came forward and addressed the meeting. Our patriotic Monarch had called upon his people to de cide between his Ministers and their opponents, or rather between the Reformers and Anti-Reformers ; or, to speak more strictly, between those who would hare a good, sound, and practical Reform, such as was contained in the Bill, and those who said hey would have some Reform without even defining what it was. Anti-Reformers, in name at least, did not exist. A few weeks ago, indeed, many such existed ; but now few or none could be found who denied that some Reform was necessary. But the freeholders ought to be on their guard against all such kind of Reformers ; for he believed that in that class were to be found the most determined enemies of all Reform.—(Cheers.) Fully convinced that the interests of the county could not be intrusted to better hands, he felt great pleasure in proposin g Thomas Law Hodges, Esq., as a fit arid proper person to represent it in Parliament.-0 ;beers.) Mr. CoLuNtawooo (of Holkhurst) seconded the nomination : and proceeded to refute the assertions that Reform would produce revolution, that it would unsettle property, or that it would create anarchy; and pointed to the men who had come forward as its advocates—men who had the largest stake in the country, whose past lives had proved them the friends of order, the firm supporters of the Constitu tion. He could, he said, easily understand the straightforward and manly objection of the Duke of Wellington, who denied that any Reform was necessary, and who maintained that the rotten b - roughs were the soundest parts of our Constitution, —no great compliment to the other parts by the way,—but he could not understand those who ad mitted the rottenness of those boroughs, and Would yet uphold them, or would only reform t hem bit by hit. Suppose, to use a very plain illustration, any one present was troubled with a decayed and aching tooth, the pain of which did not allow him to eat by day, or sleep by night, and that he should apply to a dentist, what would he think of hire, if he said, " That tooth decayed ! I never saw a more sound tooth in my life. It is impossible you can feel any pain from that : what you feel is only an agreeable sensation, which contributes greatly to your ease and comfort."—(Cheers and laughter.) Would the person affected be satisfied, and say, " I thought I was in pain, but as you say lam not, I will keep a tooth which does me so much good ?" But suppose you went to another dentist, and that he were to is Nt,i_laoeyun,:ewTiall another betht o er o re t i b t i l eid certainly a very bad one, but do not have it out a t once , t h at wou ld ru i n you : I will take a bi t o f i t out now, and in sonic time e an .

The Hon. Gentleman, after other illustrations of Ot,l :VENING, MAY 12, 1831. the benefits of efficient Reform, concluded by again expressing his pleasure in seconding the motion. J. WARD, Esq. (of Squerries) had little expected to come forward at such a meeting as this; but in any thing that was a service to the county he hope he should be found at his post ; and he did not think that he coal do it a greater service than by prorsine- his friend, Thomas Rider, of Bolton ., lilac., as its representative ire Parliament. Sir 1. Tvi.DEN (of Milstead), in seconding the nomination adverted to the qualifications of Mr. Rider for the support of the freeholders as an active Magistrate—a hater of corruption, whether it ex isted in the upas tree of a century old, or in the mushroom of yesterday's growth; and, above all, a staunch Reformer.—(Cheers.) Not one of your " bit-by-bit," or " wait-a-little-yet" Reformers ; but one who would, as Mr. Crillingwood said, pull out the decayed tooth at once. He then ridiculed the argument that the rotten boroughs were so many russerieslor young men of talent, and obi , erved that the Tories did not seem to place sufficient reliance on the opening for talent which these boroughs gave, for ihey were obliged to impart through Cambridge so large an accesi , ioe of it in the persons of Messr-. Goulburn and Peel.—(Laughter.) After adverting to some malignant attacks which he said had been made in a detestable county paper, on his friend Mr. Rider, and which, he added, reflected disgrace only on the writer—(A voice in the crowd, " It was parson mote them," lawehter)—the H in. Baronet adverted to one of the hand-bulls issued, with the name of Sir E. Kinard:bull attached. He wished the Hon. Baronet was present, that he might see what was the opinion of the county. The HIGH SHERIFF now asked whether any free holder had any other candidate to propose, and was answered by loud cries of " No, no." Mr. HODGES then presented himself, and was re ceived with loud and continued cheering. He ob served that the spectacle which then presented itsel before them, had no parallel in the memory of any man living in the county. The Hon. Baronet (Sir E. Knatchbull) had said that he acceded to the opi nion of his committee, as he wished to save the comity from art excitement already carried too far. Now if there was any excitement, he (Mr. Hodges) was not answerable for it. He was justified, as having sat for the county, in coming again forward ; and in his progress along with his Hon. Friend of nine days through the county, he found the people organized—by them selves—in support of Reform. The organization was not his; it arose from that feeling which now prevailed not merely through the county of Kent, but through England, Scotland, and Ireland, on this important question.—(Cheers.)—But if there had been excitement, where were its effects ? There had not, except in two or three instances not worth mentioning, been any violence caused by it. The Hon. Gentleman went on to say, that the next Par liament, would in all probability, be a very short one, as it would do !little more than pass the Bill, and some necess , ay measures to carry on the govern ment of the country, the great remedial measures intended being reserved for the reformed Parlia ment ; he therefore would advise the freeholders, and those who might ht re tfter have votes, to be cau tious before they promised theta. " I must say," continued the Hon. Gentleman, " that if you elect me as your representative, I consider my duty pre scribed a+ to the Bill ; and that I have no discretion vAthrespect to it. I look upon it that you delegate me to carry the intentions of his Majesty's Minis ten; as to the Bill, into effect; and I will do so, — so help me God."—(lmmense cheering.) Mr. RIDER next presented himself; and was re ceived with loud cheers. To those who objected to the Bill he would put this question—have you any plan of Reform which you can offer as a substitute for it ? And if they had not—and he haul never yet heard of anv that was offered—he must doubt the sincerity of those who said they were Reformers, bat whose only claim to the name was the assertion they were so, opposed to their votes against any and every plan of Reform that had ever been brought forward.--(Cheers.) H e would not say that the Bill was perfect—what human measure ever was ? but he gladly took it as the first answer the people had ever received to their numerous and almost for gotten priyers for redress of grievances. —(Ch eers .) Mr. LARKIN next addressed the freeholders, and at considerable length argued against the absurd ob jections to Reform. He said it would cause a more equal and better appropriation of church property, and the abolition of tithes.—(Cheers.) .... „..__ . 11r. KNIGHT (brother -iv-law, as %sc ite u r n r il l :e p ts e t d oo b tl, of sir E. K na t c hhull) came forward and addressed the meetin g , but was very fiequently interrupted cries off "Off, off i" mixed with cries o f c, Fair Play !" " Dear all sides." lie observed that he was a Reformer, and differed widely on the sulij, e t from their late Member ; but he thought many per sons would find themselves greatly mistaken in look ing to Reform, as the last speaker had done, as a panacea for all the ills of the country. Lieutenant FRA:scaLLON, at the opposite side of the hustings, spoke in favour of Reform. We un derstood him to deprecate the conduct of a Rev. Gentleman (a Dr. Lamb), who, he said, had inter meddled in a manlier not becoming a Clergyman, in the election ar Rye. The HIGH SHERIFF (the usual proclamations having b ee n made) declared that the choice of the freeholders had fallen on Thomas Law Uudges. and Thomas It der, Esq., and that they weie duly elected Members to serve for the county in the en suing Parliament.—(lmmense cheering.) Three cheers were then proposed for the Kim'', and three for the Min i sters , and for Refo rm , which were most heartily g iven. Thanks were then given to the Sheriff, after which the meeting was dissolved. „. ~,° , -... • '.-- .19 .0 , ,J: 1 2 , .. _ ..qf , ,-- ' ', (tit WI!! .7- - : .. _, ~.. . ..., , .. ~, . - .rz. -- -3.-41„-- :.'

After the Members had been dt- el;ed, the various f t r i e l : l r m ep !d o e r t ' s , , b o e f g t ,t v ii h o t o w n l i ' i ( l; in the be esPp°rl:eparation for gthmusthem into NI-'d . -m g , "I stone; but before this accompanj of them sat down to dinner, which some hundreds . ri lat " had b een provi .er their own expense, on the pr.trtiescrof of heath, or ra ther under the trees, a dj o i n i ng the Shire house. ' ,wi g rows of t a bl es and forms had been previoi;sly arranged for that purpose. When they had despatched this necessai-y part of the day's busi ness, t h e y began to arrange the procession, which left the wound in the following order :—First, the Maidstone h ,,,,d, w i t h a l arge display of flags and harmers of blue, with various devices, all refer rilg to t he g reat question ; t h en came the newly elect. Members onorsebac h ed Me"' o k, and girt with swoids, as well as th e i r their horse' , persons, profusely deco rated with blue iil,aods. Thi-y were followed by tin immense body of freeholders on horseback, three a -breas . t , a ll wearing blue f avours. These were fol- by by several barouches and other carriages and four, filled with fret-holders. The other parties suc ceeded in the following order:. The Canterbury party, and freeholders from the Isle 0 f Thanet and adjacen t places, preceded by their own band and banners. Th e Rochester party, and freeholders from that part of the county, including G reenw i ch, Dartford, and Gravesend,---band and banner s . The Ashford, Lenham, Charing, and Harrietsbam freeholders, with band and banners. The freeholders from the Weald of Kent,—band and banners. Th e Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, and Bromley ft eeholders. There were also parties from Hythe, Tenterden, 1 4 • \:: . .;,, 1 , L ,,,: ~ . .4', PRICE 7D. Vlargate, and som e from near DO'ret. In all there w e r e eight bands of music. The whole procession extended to such a leneth, that the first body had arrived at Maidstone before the last left the Heath, (a mile distant) thou g h t h ey were i n as c l ose order carriages and horses cou ld we ll . b e. I n t hi s way the procession entered through Week -street, passed down High-street, thence through Mill-lane, arid ietnrned to the upper part of Gabriel's-hill, which again brcught them to the top of High-street. Here the two Members stopped and saw the whole body pass before them, each party cheering loudly as they passed, and their nevem] bands playing the National Anthem. The scene throughott the town was of the roost enlivening description,—banners of the favourite colour hung him almost every window—th e ladies and they were all filled, wore scarfs or ribands of blue. The whole was conducted with the greatest good order, and not an accident of any kind occurred that we heard of. 'the whole of the Procession had not pae. , ed through wen our rt. ! . porter It-ft it at three o'clock. Some of the parrin s had, we understand, come a distance of forty miles to rake part in the glorious triumph of *Reform in Kent. DORSET, MAr 10. The town of Dorchester has been all this morning in a state of wear excitement, owing to the arrival of various parties of voters in the interest of the different c ulidates. The majority of arrivals were decidedly in favour of the Reform candidates, and the pavements before their ittns were crowded with voters wearing their colours, and ready to march to the poll. To prevent a repetition of the disgraceful outrages which ()centred on Friday last, upwards of 200 special constables were sworn in as protectors of the peace. Eleven o'clock was fixed for the commencement of the election, and as that hour approached, the friends of the different candidates proceeded to the place where the hustings are ert-cted. They are in a field near the barracks, and at the foot of a gentle slope, which is crowned on the summit by the ram parts of a Roman encampment. Ktell of the can didates was attended by a number of his partisans, hut the crowd was chiefly in favour of Mr. Calcraft. A large body of special constables attended to pre serve the peace; and, as a measure of precaution, all persons who came with sticks were requested, oo entering the field, to leave them till their return in the hands of the constables appointed to receive them. I saw several of these sticks, and among them were some of the most formidable bludgeons which 1 ever beheld in any life. One of them is heavily leaded, and if used by a vigorous hand must be fatal to any poor wight with whose head it may may come in contact. The constable was desired not to return this formidable weapon to its owner, lest in a moment of irritation he should be induced , o use it to the destruction of some one or other of his Majesty's lieges. After the King's writ and the Act against bribery and corruption had been read; Mr. FAnclultAnsoti came forward to address the freeholders, and concluded by proposing, as a fit and proper person, indeed a person eminently qualified to represent the county in the ensuing P.oliament, Ed ward Berkeley Portman, Esq.—(Cheers.) Mr. P. OKEDEN seconded the nomination. Mr. Portman came forward in support of that great question which now agitated the country from one coiner to the other,--i c meant the question of Re• form in Parliament.—(Great cheering.) Ile sup posed that at this time of day there was no person so besotted in ignorance, and so blinded in preju dice, as not to see that the great question must be carried.—(A voice in the crowd—" Yes, there is one, and that's old Bankes.") The only question which now remained for consideration was the shape iu whicis Reform should come upon them. He thought that it ought to come in a solid and effec tual shape—(Cheers)—not in a weak, washy, bit by-bit way—(" Hear that, old Bankes;" laughter and cheering)—but in such a way as would leave those who sought for turbulence and confusion without a word to say in their ocvn justification.— (Cheers.) The reign of King John was remembered in history because it was the epoch when the people of England gained Magna Charts. The reign of William IV. would stand forth equally conspicuous to future generations, as the epoch in aN hich the people of England gained the Reform (Cheers.) There was one ground of hope, one source of confidence, which must infallibly lead them on to victory ; for they might now say, in the lan gunge of their own Shakspeare— the King's name is a tow'r of strength Whicll they of tl' adverse faction want." —(Cheers. " Hear that, old Baukes.") Mr. FRAMPTON said that, in proposing Henry Bankes, E-q , of Corfe Castle, as a fit pet son to represent the county of Dorset in Parliament, he hoped that they would show by their votes that thvy had not forgotten the services of so old, so faithful, and so independent a Member of Parlia ment as Mr. Bankcs had always proved himself to be.—(Some cheers, but more hisses.) The Rer. Mr. HANNAH (the lector of Corfe) was proud to recommend Mr. Bankes to the,i notice, as a fit and proper person to represent them is the Commons House of Parliament. Sir W. OGLANDER then came forward, amid great cheering. lie iii‘d the honour, he said, of again addressing the freeholders, in order to propose to them, as a candidate for the representation of Dor setshire, his Right lion. Friend John Caicraft.— (Cheers.)—His reason for proposing his Right lion. Friend to their notice was, chiefly, because he was pledged to vote for, and to support, tha , great measure for a Reform of the Commons House of Pad amet;t which had been introduced by an upright Admi ni strati on—(Cheer)—and: had bun sane tiotle,i by their pair otic Kitm.—(lmmensecheering.) Sir JOHN SMITH seconded he nomination of Mr. Calcraft. Mr. PORTMAN then came forward amid long-con. tined cheering to address the electors. He stood before 'horn the enemy of tyranny,—the enemy of monopoly,—a sincere and honest Reformer—(Great cheering)—determined to vote for the Bill which hail recently been before Parliament—(Cheers) — and not merely for a Measure which, though it might be in letters a Reform, in substance was tit, such thing.—(A voice in the crowd—" Take your change out of that, old Ilankes.") You know me, gentlemen, (concluded Mr. Portman), and I know you and your independent feelings, and with those observations I leave my cause in your hands. lam ready to be your servant,—for you, be it recollected, are our masters. Mr. BAKES then addressed the meeting amidst some, but very slight, interruption from the free holden:. The worthy Baronet, then standing neat him, in the address which he had made to the free holders in recommendation of Mr. Calcraft, had been pleased to make a reflection upon him,—un justly as he would endeavour to show,--,s having opposed that part of the Bill which provided for the abolition of what he was pleased to call the rotten boroughs.—(Slight uproar, and a cry of " What do you please to call them ?") Now he took the Ebert) of telling that worthy Baronet, that he might haw.- known—and of appealing to Mr. Calcraft who must know—that no vote was ever taken in the House of Commons on that part of the Bill, and therefore he (Sir W. Oglander) could not know what he (Mr Bankee) might have said or done in the last, or what he might say or do regarding it in the nest Session of Parliament.-- Tell us then at preset - IL what you will do.") Now without meaning any thing personally offensive, he would remind Mr. Calcraft that he had. said—for which he (Mr. Bankes) did not blame him—that he would make as stout a tight for Wareham as he could, (" O r as you will for Core Cattle.")—(A laugh.) tak,,,, how did the situation of the borough of Wareham differ from that of any other nomination borough in the schedule of the Reform Bill?—(Hisses trot cheers.) W:th regard to the Bill , h e would cm ilidly declare to them that il the whole B li were to he paaeed in Parliament, and ti'e success of Hs e ec ,ion were to d perul upon his giving his assent to that whole Bill, to that whole Bill he would tint, and he could, trot agree.—f Cheers and Idesea.) He Aced with what justice to the county of Dorset iit perticular had Ministers proceeded tu their enecor (ion ef it ? They began their career of inill' del' by r4l,bing the inhabitants of Dorsetshire of one half of their representatives.—( Loud cries--." They are not ours;" " disown them ;" " They are the be rotighmongers' borough nominees ;" " They give e one more for the county.") The number of Members for this county are twenty in all. Did the gentleman who contradicted him suppo e OA these Members were not connected with the Irteled interest of the comity ?—( A voice, " Y. s, iii plan-` Bering the people.") There was another point, connected with this Bill, on which he tiloualit that nole.dy would venture to contradict him. On what ground seas it that the number of representatives for England was to be diminished ? Was th'ereany delinquency,—was there any crime alleged ? He seeuld like to hear an answer to that questioe from Mr Caleraft ; for in the Houseof Commons the guess; Lion had been put, but he had never heard au an swer to it.—(Cheers and hisses.) Mr.CALCRAFT then presented himself to the free holders amidst loud and long-continued cheering. He had, at the request and solicitation of a large number of freeholders, undertaker] to present him self to the coun.y for its approbation. This was a short and simple explanation of the reasons why he stood at that moment on the hustinge, and on what :recount lie was standing there.—(Cheers.) Mr. Bankes seemed to think that Dorsetshire was hardly !v et o e d under thin Bill, He had told the freeholders that the county would lose nine of its present repre sentatives. And why would it do so ? It wonhl lose them on the grand principle of this Parliamen tary Reform, which was getting rid of nomination, and introducing representation in its stead.—(Great cheering.) If that proposition were offensive to the people of Dorsetshire, and were on that account to meet with resistance from them, what must be done with the whole of schedule A. ?—(Cheers.) It. was of the very essence of the Bill to substitute representation for nomination, and if certain depo pulated boroughs lay in that county,they must abide th e common lot of all the boroughs enumerated in the same schedule.—(Cheers.) Mr. B mkes had also appealed to him as to whether any vote had been taken in the House of Commons upon schedule A. Certainly not. Mr. Bankes had also alluded to a declaration which he (Mr. Calcrart) hail made in I his place in Parliament, to the effect that he would struggle as stonily as he could for the preservation of' the borough of Wareham from disfranchisement. Undoubtedly he had said that he would do hi best to preserve the borough of Wareham, but o n n ot because thegrotin groun d, th a t th was a,tira thetom i p i o na p tn borough, o io lationretu bt returns for ii that place were not made correctly when th e cen sus of 1821 was taken, it ought to be taken from schedule A. in which it was placed, and transferred to schedule B. of which the boroughs were still to return one Member. This was net preserving the borough of Wareham as a nomination borough, it was making Wareham the centre of an electioneer ing district, and taking it out of the domination of any ii,dividuil wha'ever.—(Cheers.) Mr. Bankes hid also told the freeholders that he would not pledge himself to support the whole Bill, as it stood in the last session of Parliament. Now let them consider what the Bill wag, and what its principles. The first part of its principle was to lessen the ex pence of elections; the next was to take away the cTp r ss e i,l atat i l : sece r ,ess e tes s : e aa i : I :li t e:it : I t( i tir i tho o : ed t tovtp, ici f res r itr ( l - ;) ) .si m i o:tphsolfe:e d o,r e ono e (ie a fltx y ott e d and inconsiderable t rh o al6:oa l ios a : r i ol g l o—t e oo tognievtwle, these unrepresented esteioepctrtoil,lvie: counties GI additional Members; and the last part into the representativ e system of the Constitution. c pies he was ready to adhere—and that Bill he now thus publicly pledged himself to support.—(Great cheering.) The difference under which he and Mr. liatikes presented themselves to the notice of the freeholders was this, that he came forward pledged to support, and Mr. Bankes came forward pledged 'o oppose the Bill. (A voice here call.ll out, " How do you mean to vote respeciiug the abolition of slavery ?") One word more as to the abolition of slavery. He had always, from his first entry into public life down to the present moment, been en. gaged, first in promoting the abolition of the slave trade, and, when that was aceompl sh.d by the honest and long-continued ex, rtions of Mr. Fox, in endeavouring to effect the abolition of shave!) , it self.—(Cheers.) He could assure them that he had left nothing undone on his part to effect that great object.—(Cheers.) He had always been the sincere iriend of civil and religious liberty. (Cheers.) Mr RUTTER, a Quaker, who has taken a very prominent part in opposing Lord Grosvenor's liomi n.ition of Members fur the borough of Shaftesbury, then claimed his faevilege as a freeholder of Dorset shire to make a few br.ef remarks on what he con sidered to be the different qual,fi, at;oris of the three gentlemen then in nomination. The firs. was Mr. Portman their old and faithful servant. There was no pan of that gentleman's public conduct ou which tie differed from him. There was no ques , ion but Mr. Portman had proved himself a proper man to represent the freeholders of Dorsetshire.—(Cheers.) Next came Mr. Caleraft ; and surely when the King had called upon them to exhibit their feelings on one 01 the most vital questions that could affect their %% eil being as a free people, they would not have a ;no inent's hesitation in preferring Mr. Gderaft as a Reforrre , , to Mr. Bankes as an Anti-Raformer.— (Cheers.) He would, however, carry the point still further; and he would say, that in all other points of comp.trison, Mr. Cdcraft was a superior man to Nlr. Bankes as a representative for their county,—(Cheers.) Mr. Bankes had said he was a fiend to the emancipation of the slaves. What did Mt% Bankes mean by that ? If he meant any thing by it, he must mean that he had no objection to make freemen of the blacks, but all the objections iii the world to make freemen of the whites. The HIGII SHERIIT then took a show of hands in favour of the respective candidates, and af , erwards declared that it appeared to him that the show of hands was in favour of E. B. Pcrtman, Esq. and of the Right Hon. J. Calclaft., This annunciation was received with three cheer: , . I'here could he no doubt as to its correctness, for the show of hands in favour of Mr. Banker was very scanty indeed. Mr &Hikes then demanded a poll. The polling commenced immediately in the dif ferent booths, and Was continued without intermis sion till five o'clock. Immediately arter polling had commenced, those voters of Mr. Calcraft who could not find admit tance into the polling-booths, marthed off with their banners, and ranged them elves in front of the vallum of the Roman encampment, which overlooks the whole field, and gave three hearty cheers for the King, Reform, and the Constitution. As there must have been at least 1,500 men range,' in line at this time, and as there were a number of females mingled among them, the grouping had a particu lady strikqtg and picturesque effect. At five o'clock the polling closed. Mr. PORTMAN then came forward and returned thanks.
