piaivz.) I rely—and he whom I trust will be the future tpattner of my toils (Mr. James) relies, on the generosity ;and patriotism of the freemen of Carlisle, to set at defiance all the arts of our opponents. Before I conclude, let me beg of you to refrain from all personal violence, which would not only be disgraceful to yourselves but to that cause to which we all so fondly cling. Nothing would be more certain, than violence, to counteract the advantages we now possess, and prevent us reaping the advantages of the struggle on which we have now e ntered.—(Cheers.) L will conclude in the words of a warm friend to our cause,—l mean Mr. Stanley of Plumbland,—by saying ghat freemen are always happy in the " joys of a tally aro -She excitement of a hunt." Mr. JAMES again presented himself, and was welcomed as before. He said—Excuse me, genthrnen, for again trespassing upon your att ntion fora single moment. But I think we cannot do better than conclude this joyous scene by giving three hearty :.beers for King William.— (A cry in the crowd, " Three cheers for Hunt.') No, I say not, gentlemen.—(Cheers.) Mr. Hunt has deserted the cause of the people, and become the oracle of the b roughmongers—their last hope.—(Cheers.) If ever there was a man tistly deserving to lie designated a demagogue, this is the man. The words of the poet are most appli cable ti. him : " He first assumed, by mean, perfidious art, Those patriot tenets foreign to his heart ; Next, by his country's fond applauses swell'd, Thrust himself forward into power, and held The reins on principles which he alone, Grown drunk and wanton with success, could own— Betrayed her interest, and abused her trust." " A patriot out of place, Insults his generous Prince, And bids the flames of discord rise." (Loud cheers.) These are my reasons for troubling you again ; and I am confident you will join with me in three cheers, heart and voice, for our excellent Sovereign.— (This was obeyed with the greatest and most unanimous enthusiasm.) Mr. James concluded by hoping that by their peaceable conduct they would secure the vittory, and return two reformers.—(Che ers .) JOHN DIXON, Esq., and JOSEPH FrltausoN, Esq., were called on, and severally addressed the crowd, congratulat ing the freemen on the glorious prospect before them, after so auspicious a commencement, and exhorting the people, as they valued the cause is which they were engaged, to preserve the peace. GENERAL ELECTION. CITY OF LONDON; Concluded from our Paper of yesterday.) Mr. Alderman WOOO presented himself, and was re ceived with loud and continued cheers, and waving of hats, He observed, that this was the seventh time he bad come forward as a candidate for the honour of repre senting that great City in Parliament. He had first come before the Livery as a Reformer, and he thought it most likely that he should now continue a Reformer for the rest of his life.—(Cheers and laughter ) He was a Re former when few were with him, and it was not probable that he would make any change now that he might say the whole country was with him. Some persons had asked what could Reform produce ? lie answered, the public would soon know that by their pockets. R . they bad had a Reformed Parliament thirty years ago, they would not now have that enormous load of debt which was now hanging about them. That debt must be paid, for the public creditor ought to he paid, and national credit kept up : but still there were many means of saving large sums of the public money. In one department of civil expenditure alone, there had been an increase, since 1792, from 1,200,0001. to upwards of 3,000,0001. Now, ha' thought there was room for saving in taking off the 2,000,0001., and there was no doubt that a Reformed Parliament would do it.—(Cheers.) He would now only add, that if they returned him again to Parliament, he should he found, as heretofore, atteniive to the great com mercial and other interests. He should be at hie post,-- the faithful guardian of the public purse. He cared not who the Ministers were, he would vote for the interests of the people.—(Cheers.) Mr. Alderman WAITIMAN next came forward and was received with a greeting, if possible, still more hearty than that given to his Hon. Colleague. A patriotic King, i,y the advice of his excellent Minister., had appealed to his people ; that appeal was honestly answered by the city of London, and he was convinced it would be generally throughout the country. In fact, the struggle was how only with the proprietors of rotten boroughs. The House of Commons—that part of it which could be fait ly said to represent public opinion —had responded to the voice of the people ; more than half the representatives of counties in the kingdom had voted for the Bill introduced by his Majesty's Ministers. More than two-thirds of the boroughmongers voted against it. This was natural ; but tile manner in which the voting went shewed the im portance of even a single vote, and should teach every men in the country who had a vote to value Lis own importance in society, and not to give that vote from motie-es of priva'e friendship, or from any motive but honest public principle. The worthy Alderman then adverted to the absurdity of those who professed what they called moderate Reform, and observed, that since M, when he came forward as a Reformer, he had never heard any plan of Reform of any kind brought forward by those " moderate Reformers," nor had he heard of their adoption of the plan brought forward by others. The Livery had seen with what per tinacity the corrupb[ros of even Grampound were upheld, and how great a struggle had been made (luring three years to retain East Retford to the influence of the Duke of Newcastle ; and yet those—the Right Hon. Baronet Sir Robert Peel among the number—who opposed the transfer of the franchise of corrupt East Retford, now professed themselves the friends of " moderate Reform." (Cheers.) To talk of moderate Reform was nonsen.e ; th e Reform which the people asked for, and would have, was a full, fair, and free representation in the Commons' House of Parliament. Mr. Alderman TuomrsoN next came forward, and was received with loud and repeated cheers. For his own part, he need not tell the Livery that he had supported the Bill introduced by Lord John Russell in every stage ; and if he should he again returned, he would vote in support of the measure in every stage.—.(Cheers.) He hid at all times been the friend of a popular consistency--he was al ways of opinion that no man ought to enter the doors of the House of Commons who did not represent a great, po pulous', and wealthy constituency; and when he saw that the attempt to give representatives to some large, populous, and wealthy towns—when he saw that the attempt to re form the representation of counties in Scotland—proved abortive, he thought the time when some great measure of Reform was become absolutely necessary, and must b e introduced, was at hand. It was said that the measure was revolutionary. It was the reverse. It was a measure the object of which was to place the monarchy on a more , firm basis--to place the institutions of the country on their true constitutional ground. To such a measure he would I give his most strenuous support. Mr. Alderman VENA inrs next came forward, and was received with continued cheering. He would give his Majesty's Ministers his honest, his undeviating exertions to carry the Reform Bill into a law.—(Loud cheers.) He should support it most strenuously to the best of his power, because he felt that it was a measure which would give greater security to the Crown than any which had ever been introduced into Parliament. Ile supported it because he looked upon it as a just, a wise, and a salutary inea sore. It was just, because it restored to the people of England those nghts and privileges so unjustly taken from them, and which are still so unjustly withheld.—(Cheers.) It was wise, because it was always wise to be just, and to be just in politics as well as in every thing else; and it was salutary, because it would unite the King, the people, and the aristocracy in one common effort for the general good.—(Cheers.) The names of the several Aldermen were ti,en put to the Livery according to their seniority, beginning, how ever, with that of the Lord Mayor. His Lordship's - nam e was received with loud applause. Several of the Aldermen were cheered as their names were put up. Other excited loud groans and hisses. Amongst these the names of Aldermen Atkins, C. Smith, and Brown were particularly disting uished in that way. When the name of Si r C . Hunte r was put up, the Hall rang with one loud burst of laug hter, and some cries of " the white horse—the white c harger." The names of Aldermen Wood, Waithman, Thompson, and Venables, w ere received with deafening feningchiers, and the show of hands on each was so great, as apparently to include those of almost every pe rson ina in the Hall. We could see no distinction in the show ;n 01 the four cases. After the list of Aldermen had ,, b_ e n e y n gone through, there were several voices cried out, Why don't you put up Scales ?"--(Much laughter.) Just at this moment Mr. Calvert, the new Member far Southwark, entered the Hall, and was received with bond cheers. The Sheriffs then said that their opinion was, that the election had fallen upon Robert Waithman, Esq., c i t i zen, Alderman, and frame-work-knitter; upon Wm. Thomp son, Esq.. citizen, Alderman, and ironmonger; upon Matthew Wood, Esq. , citizen, Alderman, and fishmonger ; and on William Venables, Esq., citizen, Alderman, and stationer ; and they therefore declared them duly elected to be the representatives of the Livery of London in the ensuing Parliament. This annunciation was received with loud cheers. Wh e n they had subsided, a gentleman on the hustings proposed that the Livery should give three cheers for the King, and three cheers for the Reformers. They were given accordingly with the utmost enthusiasm. The Hon. Members then severally returned thanks, amd the Common Hall dissolved. CORNIVALL.—Letters received yestkn'iday from Pen zance state that the canvass of Mr Richard Vyvyan has been most unsuccessful. some of his friends, who had undertaken a district of four parishes, where he obtained last year ft-cm 300 to 400 votes, could only get 11 pro mises in his favour. KENT.—Messrs. Hodges and Ryclet have closely united their interests, and at ItctiVely 'engaged in can vassing our principal towns.. Their reception is every where enthusiastk, and the only fear is, that too great a confidence. of 811CCCS8 may be excited. Among the tyright examples of disinterested patriotism must he Mimbered that of the Rev. Thomas Barne, of 4 7:rftyrord, whose brother, Colonel Barne, posses ea tali - the borough of Dunwich. Upon being applied Lo for his vote on behalf of the Re form candidates, he candidly acknowledg,d that the bo rough had been of great benefit to his family, hut the:, tife period had now arrived in which a sacrific.c tntst be made fur the public good, and promised hicordial support. A tradesman of Dartford, ett Ire,-,g requested for his vote in behalf of Sir Edward knatehbull, by a high Tory friend, made the fo'Nstving pithy reply Why, Mr. —, you know Y have for the last thirty years always voted for the King, do you wish me to desert him now ?" It is tnn. cessary to add, that the Anti-Reformer. strOrlc With the position in which he had placed hirnelf, retired in con fusion. CAN I'ERBrRY: —Last evening a very numerous and highly terr Mable meeting was held at the King's•ht.!ad Hottl in this city, to concert proper measurts for securing the return of Thomas Law Hodg , n, >`:. q•., and Thomas Rider, Esq., as representatiVt's Inc the county of Kent in the ensuing ParliAment. A numerous Committee was appointed, and a very large subscription in±t^naately en tered into. Lists are opened for ts:-.e enrolment of the names of such freeholders r.'s intend to support the Reform candidates ; and 5.,•..t seription papers are lying at the chair man's resit÷m'oe in High-street. The enthusiasm at Can terlen'y is very great.—Kent Herald. CANTERBURY ELECTION,-- , -The first indication of the approaching dissolution tiral3 the arrival, at a late hour on Friday evening ! n Lord Fordwich and the Hon. Mr. Watson in this city. Their friends immediately assem hlt4, and early the next morning the addresses of the two Ileform candidates were in circulation, and an active can vass commenced. Friday is axed for the election, when the two Reformers will walk over the course amid the ac clamations of nine-tenths of the electors,—.Kent Herald. There never was an opportunity at which the electors of Sandwich could display their spirit, patriotism, and loyalty so effectually as at the ensuing election. Mr. Marryatt and Capttin Troubridge are the popular candidates ; and the notorious Mr. Grove Price, one of the chief mouth pieces of the boroughmongen, may think himself fortu nate if he escape?, ft-otti the violence of popular indignation. The election Commences on Monday next. ROCHESTER.—Mr. Bernal and Mr. Mills, Re formets both, are canvassing, without an opponent, Lord Villiers having quickly found sufficient reason for abandon ing a hopeless contest. Messrs. Marjoribanks and Loch are tinoppoled at Hythe. MAIDSTONE.—W e do not hear that the announced third man to oppose Alderman Winchester has yet arrived. Sir E. Knatchbull, our quondam representative has very natnrally taken alarm at t! e spirited preparations nytking in every part of Kent to eject him. At a late hour last night he issued an address, in which he 4 ' laments to le irn that the peace of the county is threatened." If that is a consideration with him, why does he not withdraw at once, and tranquillity and satisfaction will instantly pre vail ? As a lure to catch the uninformed, Sir Edward goes on to announce himself a reformer !—and laments that illness prevented him front saying so in the House of Commons. This ground of lamentation is needless—what would saying this have availed, seeing that his vote was agailiq Reform ? Until he can argue his name from one side of the list to the other, Sir Edward may spare his pains. —Kent Herald. A public meeting was held at Ramsgate on Tuesday, Samuel Sherwood, Esq., in the chair, when it was una• nimousiy resolved to oppose Sir Edward Knatchbull, and gratuitously assist in electing Messrs. Hodges and Rider for the county. At Margate a similar meeting has been The Reformers of Kent, recollecting the manly and un equivocal declaration of the Earl of Winchilsea at the late county meeting in support of Ministers, feel confident of his support at the present crisis. —lbid. _ GRAVESEND.—A moat numerous and respectable meeting has been called in this large and increasing town, to assist in the return of two independent men for the county. A committee was immediately formed, and a highly liberal subscription opened to defray the expenses of the electors to and from Maidstone. The muster-roll proves that Sir Edward Knatchbull has completely for feited by his vote the favours of the freeholders—the numbers being twenty to one against him. FOLKSTONE.—(From a Correspondent.)—lt was no sooner announced here, that T. Ryder, Esq. had declared hims• If a candidate for this county, than a canvass was commenced, when in less than three hours we obtained 142 votes out of 158 freeholders for Messrs. Hodges and Ryder. A subicription will immediately take place to defray our expenses. Mr. Grove Price had scarcely arrived at Deal yesterday before he was compelled abruptly to depart. The tide of popu'ar fury was indescribable. it appears that he found security at the Walmer Castle Inn, when one of his friends, Mr. Curling, of Sandwich, endeavoured to con ciliate the people,:his efforts, however, were absolutely use less. Mr. C. P. Thompson is expected at Deal this even ing, where a hearty welcomeawaits him.—. Kent Herald. FLINTSHIRE.—This county will be hotly contested by Sir John Harmer and Mr. Lloyd Mostyn, nephew to the late es! imalde Sir Thomas Mostyn, and principal heir to his great estates. The former boldly avows himself opposed to the 13111 of Reform introduced by Ministers, and the latter, adopting the principles of his uncle, de clares himself at least equally resolved to support the Bill, and nothing hut the 13111. We believe the latter will suc ceed, at least the popular voice is most decidedly in his favour. DENBIGH (Bonouon).—Mr. Rodolph, the late Member, and a staunch friend of the Reform Bill, will be re- elected without opposition on Saturday next. DENBIGHSHIRE.—Sir Watkin Williams Wynn will probably be re-elected for this county, although much po pular discontent prevails against him, and if a candidate could be found, with sufficient means to encounter him, there can be little doubt that the pseudo Whig and auto crat Baronet would be hurled from his seat, and a more worthy Member placed in his room, a snore incompetent one could hardly be selected, nor one in which haughty and aristocratic spirit is substituted for the courteous and civilized urbanity, which ought to distinguish representa tives of the people. CHESTER (Crrv).—This election takes place on Friday next, when Mr. Cunliffe Offiey will be elected in the room of Sir Philip Egerton, who retires, and thus the Reform Bill gains another supporter, by the popular voice of the constituency 0f , .1s ancient city. Mr. Robert GI osvenor of course meets' no opposition. ANDOVER (HANTs).—Both the late Members, Sir J. W. Pollen and Mr. Assheton Smith, have retired, and Messrs. Fellowes and Etwall, two young reformers, are candidates for their vacant seats. YORKSHIRE.—The freeholders of Yorkshire, resi dent in Londoi, are to hold a meeting on Tuesday, to con cert measures for securing the retur❑ of four reformers for that county. CUMBERLAND.—Respecting the election for this county little more is known. Lord Lowther has not only retired from the contest, but, what is singular, no one knows what has become of his Lordship. WESTBURY.—Two reformers are sure to be seated, we understand, even for this place, which has always been a Tory nomination borough. ESSEX —lt was reported in the city yesterday that Sir John Tyrell bad retired from the contest. COVENTRY.—Mr. Ellice and Mr. Bulwer will be returned for this place. CARLISLE.—The Lowthers are likely to be defeated, even here. Mr. Lushington has a politic indisposition, and declines coming forward. WOOTTON-BASSETT.—Lard Mahon and Lord Porchester will be the new Members. GRANTHAM.—CoIoneI Hughes comes forward here ns a thorough Reformer. PETERBOROUGH.—No opposition. LEICESTERSHIRE.—Mr. Keck has retired from this county on the appearance of Mr. Paget, a Reformer. LEICESTER.—Sir Charles Abney Hastings, who also opposed the Bill, retires here. WORCESTERSHIRE.—Mr. Richards has resigned in favour of Sir T. Philips; the freeholders have pledged themselves to vote in favour of the Reformers, to the ex clusion of Colonel Lygon. WO RCESTER. —No opposition to the late Members, who are both Reformers. The election comes on on Monday. WAREHAM.—The dissolution of Parliament has put us all in a bu s tl e h ere . Mr. Calcr aft is down ; he is quite for Reform. A Mr. Wood, a relation by marriage of Earl Grey, we understand, is t o b e nominated with hime self for this borough next Mom ; but OIC ckl)et Mr. Calcraft will he returned a CoMity Member, in the room of Mr. Bankes, 'r`; ho is very unpopular, and he stands a poor chance. EVESHAM.—The candidates are Sir Charles Cockerell, one of the former representatives, and Mr. Thomas Hudson, who declares himself an advocate of Reform. DROITNVICIL=-Lord a'xi Mr. IL Foley will be re-elected :FtIVI:ESBIJRV.—Mr. Tracy opposes Mr. Dowdes ivho voted against the BR.

" George Thackeray, ViceXhav , cel l .er. " 0, Neville Grenvilles st w. French, " 4L " J. Lamb, vavV ; " G. Ainslie,' Wililani Webb, " John Graham." CAMBRIDGESHIRE.—The anti reformers have started Lord C. Manners in opposition to the late members, and are looking out for a second man on the same side. Lord Charles Manners, in his address, says that he must eppote " the wild and sweeping" Measure proposed by hi s Majesty's Ministers, adding; "at the same time, whatever may hitherto have been my sentiments as to the tap e . diency Of alteling the present representative system, I shall be neatly, in accordance with the general voice of the country, to concur in supporting any safe and constitu tional measure of Reform." CAMBRlDGE.—(Borough.)—The only candidates for this nest of rottenness and corruption are the Marquis Graham and Colonel Trench, the late members. h e Noble Lord, in a fit of furious indignation against Minis ters, denounces the Bill as " revolutionary and republican in its principles, subversive of vested interests, and the right of corporations, and destructive in the end of the monarchy itself." The other candidate says, the " mea sure of a dissolution was carried into execution with a de gree of violence and precipitancy for which he can give no precedent but the case of Colonel Pride and Oliver Crom well." OXFORD, APRIL 28.—A convocation will be holden on Monday next, to elect two burgesses to represent the University in Parliament. No opposition is expected to the re-election of Sir R. Inglis and Mr. Estcourt. Poor Oxford ! Always la.t in the race of intelligence and va luable knowledge. LIVERPOOL MEETING IN FAVOUR OF RE FORM.—A most respectable meeting was held at the Music Hall, on Wednesday evening to consider the pro priety of adopting some mode of expressing the public gratitude for his Majesty's late conduct, and, as far as in their power, to second his gracious intentions of Reform. The resolutions were carried by acclamation. They con tained an acknowledgment of his Majesty.s spirited con duct, and a pledge that they would vote fer no members who would not support the Reform Bill. The thanks of the meeting were moved to Lord Stanley and Mr. Evart, for their votes in favour of Lord John Russell's Bill. Mr. W. Evart, the late member for the borough, addressed the meeting, pledging himself in the event of his re election, to give the same support to the Bill which had caused for him the expression of their confidence. Mr. Ewart's address was most enthusiastically received.— Liverpool Courier. CIFIESHAM, (BUCKINGHAMSHIRE), APRIL 28. —I take the liberty of informing you, that so changed is public opinion in this county, with reference to the Mar quis of Chandos, there is no doubt he would be thrown out if a reformer of character were to start, and that would be a glorious triumph on this stirring occasion. The re turn of Mr. John Smith for this county may be considered as certain ; but why is it that the reformers of this county will be content, at a juncture like this, with only main taining their ground instead of advancing ? Talk of dis franchising boroughs, why, here is a county consenting to its own disfranchisement ! ne all ask, why is this ? Can it be that the reformers are not united, and numerous and strong enough to defy the rampart influence of a borough mongering Lord Lieutenant, who, by virtue of his rent roll, thinks he can preserve Bucks as a " nomination" county for the return of his son, the anti-reforming, sla very-defending Marquis ? We deny it. A reforming candidate would be received with open arms. DORSETSHIRE.—Mr. Calcraft, on his arrival at Wareham, found a deputation waiting to request him to stand for the county on Reform principles. He consented to be in nomination ; a liberal subscription has already been entered into to defray all legal expences, and there is no doubt of his ultimate success. Queenhorough is slue of returning at least one Mem ber favourable to Reform. Captain Calcraft went down to canvass on the Government interest, and lie would no doubt come in. Captain Dundas is now the only candi. date, and of his return there can he no doubt. ANDOVER, Aran, 28 —I have just seen Mr. Hugh Mundy, one of our principal farmers, and Mr. Dale, the auctioneer (two of Macdonald's and Lefevre's committee), who inform me that of 70 freeholders in the town can vassed by them this day, 68 are for Reform, and Macdo. nald and Lefevre ; they also add, that all those indepen dent men will be at the poll without one farthing expense to the candidates. LEWES, APRIL 29.—Sir Charles Blunt, Bart., and Thomas Read Kemp, Esq., were this day elected Mem bers of Parliament fur this borough without opposition. Both Members are strenuous supporters of Reform. COUNTY OF WORCESTER.—We are authoriz e d to state, that Mr. Serjeant Russell has declinyd to act upon the application made to hitn to come forward as a candi date for the representation of this county at the approach ing election, upon finding that the lion. Captain Spencer, brother of Lord Althorp, had been proposed as a candi date for that honour. We ate happy to say, that the canvass of Captain Spencer is now proceeding with de cided success. DURUAM.—The election for the city of Durham commences on Monday next. Mr. Michael Angelo Tay lor, who, at the commencement of the week, declined standing, has, by the solicitation of a number of the elec t .rs, determined to stand with Mr. Chaytor as the Re form candidates against the lion. Arthur Trevor, the no• minee of the Marquis of Londonderry. It therefore be hoves the freemen not to split their votes between the two reformers and the nominee, as such a proceeding may tend to injure the glorious Cause. DERBY.—The late Members for the borough, 11. F. C. Cavendish and Edward Strutt, Esqrs., will no doubt be return,d for the borough without opposition.—We understand that the friends of Mr. Vernon are determined to pay every expense connected with his election for the county, with the single exception of the dinner to his fi lends, in the event of his election. A subscription has commenced for this object. —We have heard a rumour, that it is intended to originate in this county.a subscription of one shilling each from Reformers, to purchase a splen did service of plate to be presented to his Majesty as o mark of the gratitude of a devoted and affectionate people. —Derby Reporter. COVENTRY.---The election is fixed to commence on the 29th of April. Candidates, Mr. Edward Ellice, Mr. F. Fyler, Mr. H. Billwer. BERWICK.—The election is to commence on the 30th of April. Candidates, Sir F. Blake, Bart. and Col. Beresford. A deputation for another candidate has been unsuccessful. HARWICH.—Mr. T. C. Tower and Mr. B. Western will oppose Messrs. lierriei and Dtwson, who have been cramming all sorts of stories and promises of what they will do, when " they throw out the Ministers," for the electors. DEVIZES.—Mr. Pearse and Mr. Watson Taylor will he re-elected. Both opponent. of the Bill. OLD SARUM.—The election takes place on Monday. The venerable elm oik was cut down on Wednesday, and the marquee is to be erected in the open air. MARLBOROUGH.—There will be a contest here. HUNTINGDONSHIRE.—The High Sheriff ha, fixed Thursday, the sth of May, for holding the election. There is as yet no opponent to Lord Manueville: if there were, it is probable his Lordship would retire from the contest, as he would certainly he beaten by a Reformer. On Thursday night a few tradesmen, who are in the habit of frequenting the Pitt's Head, corner of Old -street, entered into a subscription to the Loyal Patriotic Fund, and in less than ten minutes the sum of 61. 3s. 6d. was collected. On the ensuing morning a few friends were waited upon by the Committee, when a further subscription of 61. 16s. 6d. was received, and immediately paid to the Central Committee. This, we trust, will be a hint to all friends of Reform not to let the opportunity pass, but put the shoulder to the wheel. A little humour was sported by some of the illuminators. The following was exhibited on a transpa rency by a butcher, in Aldersgat e - s t reet;— .4, Russell's Pur g e—Success to the Motion." NORWICH ELEC TION. THE NOMIIVATION. (From the Norwich Mercury of this day.) Immediately on the opening of the doors the Court ecame crowded to stiffecatioii, arid until the arrival of the Sheri& the usual quantity of electiOn wit whs thrown from one party to the Other: : Mr. GRANT on entering the Court, was greeted with loud cheers from his friends, mingled with some expres sions of disapprobation, from a knot of persons who were standing on the right hand of the Sheriff. Proclamation having been made by the officer of the Court, Mr. WINTER read his Majesty's writ for the elec tion of two citizens, and Mr. Staff the Act against Bribery. The Sheriks then took the usual oaths. Mr. Sheriff 13.tcNotli laid the official duty which he heu ;:o perfOi-m. was a very short one—they had received the King's writ for the election of two citizens to serve in Parli.rnent, and the electors of Norwich were now called upon to exercise one of their highest privileges. It was the earnest wish of himself and his colleague that during the nomination a patient hearing would be granted to every elector who was desirous of addressing the Court, and he relied on their own proper feeling to allow them to do so. Mr. J. W. ROBBERDS said, it was never usual on the nomination of candidates to occupy the attention of the Court by any len4thened address, and never was it less necessary than on the pre•ent occasion, when he, as an elector, had to put in nomination a gentleman so highly esteemed, so generally respected, and so warm a friend to the great cause of Reform which now occupied the atten tion of the whole nation as Mr. R. H. Gut ney;—(Great cheering, and disapprobation from a few.) He should, therefore, detain them no longer, but at Once nominate R. H. Gurney, E-q., as a proper person to represent this city in Parliament. Mr. STONE seconded and Mr. FOSTER supported the no • mination. Sir THOS. BEEVOR came forward amidst much uproar. He said he rose to propose a gentleman he had the honour to nominate twice before, and who had been twice thought worthy to represent this city in Parliament. He begged to nominate the Right Hon. Robert Grant.—(Cheers ) Mr. BIRKBECK seconded, and Mr. Alderman THVR TELL supported the nomination. A freeman, STEPHEN CROTCH, then addressed himself to the Court. He said he came forward that day on his own behalf, and on behalf of his fellow citizens, to put in nomination two gentlemen who would support their rights, which the gentlemen who had lately represented this city had endeavoured to take away. He then nominated Sir Charles Wetherell and T. P. Sadler, Esq. and was sup ported in his nominaticm by Thomas Parsons and T. P. Scott.—(Cheering and much disapprobation.) Mr, Sheriff BIG NOLO called for a chew of hands, which being taken, lie declared to be decidedly in favour of Messrs. Gurney and Grant. Mr. CROTCH demanded a poll. A god deal of conversation took place between the Sheriffs and Mr. Crotch. After a short time Mr. Ald. Steward and Mr. Utten Browne presented themselves for the purpose (as well as we could leas n amidst the confu sion to guarantee the expeuces. After some deliberation, Mr. Sheriff BIG NoLb announced that the Court was adjourned till one o'clock, with a view to ascertain whether it would then be necessary to go to the poll. Mr. Serjeant FIRTH addressed the Sheriffs, disputing their right to adjourn, contending that the citizens had a right to go to the poll immediately—that the Sheriffs, as the lAA' stood, were bound to proceed to the poll forthwith, and he demanded, on behalf of his fellow-citizens, that they should do so. Three cheers were given for the. King, and the Court was adjourned. HALF-PAST ONE. The Court has again met: the Hall was more nume rously filled with the Orange and Purple party than in the morning. Much agitation subsisted. Mr. Sheriff BIG NOL1; stated, that a poll having been demanded, the Sheriffs had directed the erection of the booths, and the business would be adjourned till to-morrow at nine at the poll.—( Much cheering.) Mr. GRANT just then entered the Court, and was re ceived with deafening shouts by his friends. Thu Right Hon. Gentleman attempted in vain to obtain a hearing. All we could catch was, that he requested his friends to be early in attendance at the poll, and he had no doubt of the result. The Tories then gave three cheers for the Queen (they were very faintly given), and the meeting broke up. REFORM. OPINIONS of the FRENCH JOURNALS upon the DISSOL UTIONof PARLIAMENT. Le Temps.—We announce to-day a sitting of the English Parliament, which is one of the most memorable since the esta blishment of the Great Charter. The prompt and resolute step of the King of England has displayed a firmness of character which he was far from being supposed to possess. The contest is now seriously commenced between the arrogant and obstinate Aristocracy of England and the Royal power, supported by the nation. Every appeal was made by the opponents of the Bill to the passions and interests of thepeople,who only lAughed at their impotent rage; and while the aristocracy offered this disgraceful spectacle the body of the people flocked to the bar of the House to hear from the mouth of the King that the scandalous reign of venality and corruption had raised the indignation of Eng land and is about to be terminated. Journal de Paris.—The great measure of the dissolution of the English Parliament has been adopted with a decision and firm ness which are a sure presage of success. Reform cannot be delayed; it is unpopular in Parliament alone. Though rejoicing in this event as men, we especially congratulate ourselves on it as Frenchmen. The question of continental peace or war has probably been just decided in London. France and England united may fearlessly defy a coalition of Europe. Lc National.—The uncertainty which prevailed in England as to the course which the King would adopt, after the Mi nisters were left in a minority, proves that the English did not consider the King bound to support Lord Grey. The only true constitutional doctrine is, that the Ministers are pledged to retire if the King abandons them, and an English Administration always acts on this principle. Le Courrler Francais.—Thus the grand idea of Parliamentary Reform, inspired by wisdom and a just appreciation of the wants of the country will be realised by the firm decision of a King who has rightly comprehended his mission. There is true grandeur in this Prince: he has understood the age in which he lives : he does not wish for revolutions; but when he sees that there has been one operated in the minds of the nation, he does not hesitate to introduce it in the laws. Le Messager des Chambres, in examining the conduct of the English aristocracy, represents them as actuated by the same sentiments which made the Nobles of the French l onstituted Assembly obstinately cling to their privileges, until forced to re sign them by the scenes of blood, the massacres, and thedestrue tion of chateaus, which signalized the commencement ot the re volution ii 1789. It anticipates the success of the popular cause. La Rev ol ution says, in speaking of the Sovereigns of the two countries, a King sprung from a race which has been consecrated for 140 years by the sanction of the nation, has known how to comprehend that the day of Reform is come, and that it must be submitted to with a good grace. La Gazette de France—The revolution in England is com menced. The British empire is shaken to its base. The revolu tion which is now commencing in England will not be like that of July, a firework, terminating a grand drama ; it will be the beginning of a vast conflagration, the fuel of which will be the tithes, the property of the Church, and the immense wealth of the aristocracy. After these remarks the editorconcludes thus : " The symptoms of revolution which now show themselves in England correspond with the signs of the re-establishment of order in France, and the day in which the modern Tyre sinks into the bosom of the waters France will be tranquil within herself, and give laws to the world." Le Courrier Francais, in alluding to the deputation of the electors of Southwark said to have waited on Sir Robert Wilson to request him to resign his seat, remarks—" This step of the English electors is a good example of those of France. Kings who violate their oaths are driven from their thrones ;—it is dif ficult to imagine why confidence and electoral homage should be lavished on those deputies who have not respected their's. No thing can be more free than the electoral contract. No candidate is compelled to make promises —no elector is compelled to nomi nate a certain candidate. But if a deputy be elected on a speci fte.l condition, which he accepts, but which he afterwards neg lects to fulfil, his constituents have a right to make it a charge against him when he appears for judgment before the grand jury of the country. (From the Constitutionnet.) " England presents at this moment to all nations a spectacle truly worthy of admiration ;—that of a Government which puts itself at the head of the most enlightened, the wisest, and the most virtuous part of the nation, and which proceeds with a firm step towards the reform of those abuses of which those in power had so long profited. The honour of this great undertaking, we must not fear to say, belongs almost entirely to the King. There is, doubtless, much merit in the frank, l o y a l , an d energet i c man ner in which the Minister.; have supported the measure; but when a King forms a resolution, good or bad, he can always find instruments to carry it into effect—his intentions are to be judged of by observing the men by whom he allows himself to be sur rounded, and, especially, by considering the measures which they adopt, or the inactivity i n w hi c h they remain. " After t h ese rem arks, the journalist proceeds to examine the eftbets of the Reform in England, which, h e argues, w ill not b e con fi ne d t o th a t country alone, but will spread their beneficial influence over the whole of Europe. The T ory pol i cy i n E nglan d , however en lightened, and frequently j us t w i th regard to internal leg islation, is stated to have been, with respect to other nations, an " infer "l policy, to which good faith, generosity, and humanity were equally strangers." To the Tories, whose principle it is never to interfere with another nation, save for the purpose of oppressing o r subjugating are to be a tt r ib uted t h e wars which have ex isted between France and England for half a century; the suc cess of the present measure, and of the principles on which it is founded, will, on the contrary, " cement for ever the alliance of England with all free people, and particularly with France. The on ly rivalry existing:between the two nations will be that of peaceably labouring together for the prosperity of their industry, and the civilization of the world. They will be united in the cause of peace; and when they command peace to be preserved, no other power will dare to breathe a wish for war." As an instance of the patriotic feeling which r , O „, prevails, we have to state that a gentleman of the name of COOPER, residing in Alderegate-street, we be lieve, has this day transferred 2001. stock—all he posses sed, into the name of Lord Baoucitam and Ir/tux. His object is to place this stock at the disposal of Lord BROUGHAM, in admiration of his great public services and patriotic conduct in the cause of Reform. We under stand that a subscriptio n in aid of the cause of Reform commenced this afternoon on the Royal Exchange, among •the chemists and druggists. —Morning Herald. aa . ". etif (14 J 4 LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 30, 1831. A meeting of the Lords of his MAJESTY'S most Honourable Privy Council was held this morning, Those present were the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, and Sir CHRISTOPHER ROBINSON. Their Lordships were occup'ed in hearing arguments of Counsel, in an appeal ALBONY V. ARTHUR, remitted from Demarara. The Hon. \%TM. BATIIURST was in attendance as Clerk to the Council. Despatches have been received at the Colonial Office this morning from Malta. The Boroughmongers' addresses and remon strances to the people are circulating in every di rection. JEREMIAH sitting among the ruins of Nineveh never fulminated more doleful vaticinations than these creatures, who stalk upon two legs and call themselves men ; who sacrifice all to place, and fancy that they are patriots. Wolf, wolf, wolf ! is their cry, from morning to night. The State is in danger—the Church is on the move—the Aris tocracy are lost—the people are undone ;—th' s is the sole burden of their war-hoop. When they learn the full amount of the losses they have sustained at those places, whose elections are already concluded ; when they learn that Lon. don, Southwark, Dover, and Lewes, have already declared against them—though as bad news always makes a point of travelling swiftly, in a post-chaise and four, while good news trots easily on in a cha'se and two, they must by this time have become acquainted with all the ominous particulars—we verily believe they will run " clean daft." But what will they s;iy, what will they do, when they learn still further, that their last chance of gulling JOHN BULL by a proposal I r moderate Reform, has been pronounced by that respectable old gentleman to be an arrant humbug ! Ves, the country from one end to the other is awake to this swindling trickery ; and were it to be so situated as to be compelled to make a Hobson's choice, would prefer, a thousand and a thousand times over, ELDON and WELLINGTON with no Reform, to PEEL and his squad with a moderate one. In the former instance they would have the satisfaction of knowing that their Ministers, though bigotted, were at least honest ; in the latter, that they were both knaves and bigots. Countrymen, trust not the moderate Reformers. Respect, if you please, the manly, straight-forward op position of ELDON, WELLINGTON, and the rest of the plain-spoken Ultras ; but pin not your faith—no, not even for an instant—on the jesuitical promises of PEEL, GOULBURN, and Co. Avoid them as you would a pestilence. They are your worst—your bit rerest—yonr deadliest enemies. As public characters, and in this light only, we allude to them, they have nothing of Englishmen about them but the name. They would sell their country for a mess of pottage; foster universal anarchy, provided they could keep heir places. We know them well. And so should you too. They are the same set of men who voted not a year since against the transfer of the franchise of that stinking rotten borough, East Retford, to Birmingham, thereby proclaim ing to all the world that the Constitution was perfect, and could not be amended. They are now put forward as a for!orn hope by the Boroughmongers. Yes, they are indeed hired by these miserable traders in politics, body and soul, to do all their dirty work. Countrymen we need not inform you oho the Borough mongers are. You know them well ; you hale felt them for years ; your purses have been assist ing you to an exact definition of their nature for generations. You know that the only difference exist mg been these:creatures and highwaymen, consists in the fart, that the one robs with a smile, and the other with an oath. For our own parts we conceive the highwayman to be by far the most respectable character of the two. If, then, you repudiate the Borouglriongers, pud'ate also their agents, the moderate Reformers. Rely on it your only chance of safety lies in scouting both parties. There is a spirited article in C'obbeit's Register of this morning, on the interesting subject—" What he People ought now to do;" written in the ac customed free and bold style of that able writer. We would press strongly on our countrymen the fo;low•ing extracts : " The demolition of the rotten boroughs, and the ex tension of the suffrage, comprise the principle of the Bill, and in support of these, the pledges exacted from every Member ought to be as clear, as distinct, and as positive, as , words can make them. The Morning Chronicle has in sisted, and 1 think with reason, that a candidate should he rejected for being absent at the second reading of the Bill. It has very well Amerved, that absence from illness ought to be taken as proof of incapacity, therefore there should be some inquiries preceding the pledge. And the whole put together, would make a little catechism in the following words:— " Did you vote for the second reading of the Reform Bill ? " Did you vote against General Gascoyne's motion " Will you vote for schedule A. and Schedule B. of the Reform Bill, as amended by the Ministers before the Parliament was dis solved " Will you vote for the extension of the suffrage to renters of ten pounds a year, as provided for by the Bill lately tendered to Parliament. ‘" Will you vote for the extension of the suffrage to copy holders, Imseholders, and renters, as provided for by the Bill lately presented to Parliament ? ' Will you vote for the giving of Members to counties or towns beyond the number specified in the said Bill, ifsuch be pro posed by the Ministers ?' _ " It the c indidate can answer all these questions in the affirmative—if he will do that, and will give the answer under his hand, or in the presence of some one who shall take down his words, then I would trust him ; then I would elect him, at any rate; but if he boggle at any one of these questions; if he shuffle; if he talk about bie honour, and God knows what besides, he will betray you. Always believe that, if he belong to any of the great fa• milies, no matter which of them ; if he be a borough. monger's tool, and no matter what boroughmonger, he ha• no cordial liking for this Bill : a thousand to one but he hates it in the bottom of his heart. It will be against his grain to make the pledge ; but if you do get the pledge, you may be sure, quite sure, that he will do his best to defeat the 13i1'. " Besides these pledges to be taken from candidates, there is another sort of persons from whom pledges might be taken. There are twenty open boroughs or more, like Dover, Norwich, Coventry, &e., the elections of which are generally, if not always, decided by the London voters. These are very numerous, in proportion to the resident voters. They form, perhaps, one out of three, and sometimes one half, in point of numbers. They have always been articles of simple purchase and sale. The cost of them is immense. To tike down a thousand voters to Norwich would probably cost not leas than fifteen thousand pounds. Therefore, he who has the most money to expend carries the election. In the greater part of these open boroughs, the resident voters would be for the Reform candidate ; and if the London voters could but be prevailed upon, for this once, to stay in London and abstain from the exercise of their honourable func tions as voters, this circumstance alone might decide the fate of this Bill. Therefore, it is the duty of all those who have any influence with persons of this de scription, toendeavour to cause them to act an honest part in this case ; to represent to them the good and the mis chief that it is in their power to do, and, if possible, to deter them from doing the mischief. The Reform candi dates are not likely to he able to expend the money neces sary in general to the carrying down of these voters ; the Government cannot employ the public money for -this pur pose; the boroughmongeis are raising a great fund to effect this object. Thousands of vile electioneering attor n'es are now in the field of corruption to collect these stray souls together, and send them down to their everlasting perdition; for the next twenty days England will he a perfect hell upon earth ; much, p. rhaps, cannot be done with these London voters, to restrain them from taking the horrid bribes ; but something may be done, and by whom soever that something can be done, it ought not to be neglected." One word more for ourselves. The sense and opinion of the country on the question of Reform are now beginning to be known in the counties from one end of the kingdom to the other. The feeling is universally in favour of that great constitutional measure. Persevere :—be more active still :—be united :--be firm and peaceable. Then you will be irresistible. In this great cause of truth and justice, let us have the triumph of temper as well as the victory of patriotism. We are gratified to have it in our power to make it known to the friends of Reform that Sir PETER PAYNE, Barr., of Knuston Hall, in the county of Bedford, upon a requisition most numerously signed, has pledged himself to come forward and support the " Common Cause of the People." The Hon. Baronet's political principles are well known to the country at large, and he ‘4 ill, no doubt, be returned, as he has long advocated the necessity of Reform, and will support the Ministerial measure to its fullest extent. We insert this day in The Sun—and shall con tinue so to do 'till the Elections are ended—the list of those who but a short time since voted against even the minutest fraction of Reform, on the re markable East Retford job. In this List Sir R. PEEL figures conspicuously—the very man who now avows himself a moderate Reformer ! They are driving others into the same awkward predicament. The following are extracts from German Papers received this morning:— DRESDEN, APRIL 17.—Notwithstanding the prohibition, the '‘ Society called the Burgher Union," which was considered to have a dangerous political tendency, had repeatedly assembled. Hereupon strict orders were issued by the Government, and seve ral members were yesterday arrested. This afternoon, however, they have been forcibly delivered from their arrest by heir fellow members. Lieut.-General Von Gablenz, Governor of the capital, immediately rode to the rket-place, accompanied by an Aide de-Camp, to learn wharhad happened, but was insulted and, pursued. Hereupon the regiment of Infantry of the Guard, led by the General, proceeded to the market-place, and the Coal munal Guard also assembled. The old market, and all the streets. leading to it, are occupied by the military: detachments of cavalry are posted in different places, and in the new city a re serve of infantry and artillery, with four cannon, at which the gunners stand with lighted matches. Unfortunately there arc many armed citizens among the discontented ; however, the com munal guard shows much good will in maintaining tranquillity aad order. LEI PSIC, APRIL 9.o.—We have learnt the following particu lars of the troubles that unhappily took place at Dresden on the 17th and 18th inst. This time the disturbances proceeded from a small number of citizens and inhabitants belonging to a Burgher union, which the Government prohibited on account of its dangerous and evil tendency. By the vigourous measures emp oyed in the removal of the disturbances of the 18th inst. and by the interference of the military, who are obliged to use their fire arms, and by which five of the rioters it is said were killed and thirty wounded, tranquillity has been so thoroughlY restored that not the slightest disturbance took place in Dresden yesterday (the 111th) or last night. Many individuals, some of whom are citizens, who have been long recognised by all well disposed citizens as agitators and fanatics, are arrested, and will soon be sentenced to the punishment they me' rit, by a special commission. Some of them, we bear, are already: sent to the house of correction. The majority of the citizens or Dresden have had no share in their troubles, but like all the welfarern a l citizens and inhabitants of Leipsic, express their greatest indig (oletrlinempeel:itp,lew nation against the rioters, and wish them to undergo exemplarY G punishment. Under these circumstances, and as there is a con siderable military force at Dresden, whose fidelity may be de pended on, and as there is no real ground for discontent with ou r promote iltd and the P :L te by all honourable men, we may hope the public tranquillity , e 1 not again he disturbed. Prince John has shcwn on this occasion the greatest courage, presence of mind, and humanity. th ere ' in Leipsic, perfect tranquillity prevails, with lively indignation h of ose sa n x ic o r i e ,y asi a n r g e e ac ti k de n a ci a w , o l u ‘„„i rs gec t . c i i at the excesses in Dresden. Addresses on this subject from our citizens and the Communal Guard are now preparing. An extract of a letter from Antigua, dated March 16, says,—" All was quiet at Mart in ique two iys ago."
