sought all who heard him not to molest any inhabitants of the town, who, differing from them in opinion, did not choose to illaminate. The breaking of one pane of glass would do immense mischief to the cause of Reform. Mr. 3lunts, after a few more observations to the same effect, concluded by seconding the resolution. Mr. SALT, before the motion was put, intimated that hail a resolution to submit which did not come within the terms of the requisition. He should, however, re serve it until the close of the business more immediately before the meeting. The motion was then put and carried amidst loud accla mations. Mr. BENJAMIN HADLEY, in proposing the second resolution, rose and said, he held in his hand a resolution which, if he knew any thing of their opinions, they would support most cordially; it was that Earl Grey, that dis tinguished friend and ornament of his country, should b e requested to present the address then read, to his Majesty at the next Levee.—(Cheers•) He (Mr. H.) was aware how unnecessary it was to dilate on the merit of a man who had " bought golden opinions from all sorts of people," yet he could not suffer that opportunity to escape without expressing, not only his admiration of that great man, but of acknowledging the deep debt of gratitude which he (Mr IL) and a great mass of his fellow-countrymen owed him for the display of principle and patriotism which he had exhibited in the glorious measure of Parliamentary Reform he had brought forward, and for subsequently advising his Majesty to dissolve the late corrupt and wicked Parliament. He knew not what praise other men might think Lord Grey entitled to ; but, in his judgment, the measures of Re form which he had concocted would, if passed into a law, prevent all the horrors of a civil war in the country, and restore it to happiness and prosperity. He implored the meeting to consider for a moment what endless years of oppression, tyranny, and misrule, were in store for them and their suf fering country, if Lord Grey and his illustrious colleagues were defeated on that measure; and that the only chance they had of ultimate success was, by a firm, resolute, and unshaken determination to support the King and his Mi nisters. Considering the great cause which Lord Grey had undertaken ; considering the n awe of the opposition which he had encountered, and had still to encounter. but which he had, to his immortal honour, 'withstood with such admirable firmness of purpose—it became their im perative duty to support him in every just and legal way; to cheer him on in the glorious path he had chalked out for himself ;..and by those means, and those only, could they render themselves worthy of the great benefits which he was anxious to confer upon them and their beloved country. Mr. Had'ey then proposed the second resolution. That the address now read be adopted, and that it be forwarded by the Chairman to Earl Grey, and that his Lordship he respectfully requested to present it to his Majesty at the next Levee. The Rev. T. M. 111'1)ot-sweet rose, and was received with much applause. He said that it was impossible to hear the flattering token of reception with which the meeting then honoured him, and not think on the odium which was sometimes cast on clergymen for advocating such principles as the meeting be fore him professed, and for attending its proceedings. But when be was surrounded with men who bad his re spect—and such bad the meeting before him—it amply compensated for any reproaches that could be merle. Against the system to which he bad alluded, he had always lifted up his voice, both in private and in public, and he ever would. The Rev. Gentleman then proceeded to say that if there was ever a time in the annals of the country when it was the duty of all to be firm and to do their duty, it was the present. On the decision to which they should that day come, depended not only the peace and prosperity of themselves, but of the whole world.— Aptly had it been said by their noble Chairman that it was impossible for England to feel convulsion without the whole world being thrown into the same state of evil.— Sometime since he had felt distrust, as it regarded his Majesty's Ministers ; but now he had seen their views and measures, he had thought it right to retract, and to avow his cordiality with them in the full sincerity cf profession. They were not met in that place for the mere purpose of idle conference ; it was there that they were fighting the battles of England, and it became them to exhibit to the vir tuous part of the aristocracyand to the vicious, to the strong part of the Court, and to the weak part, the determination and the unanimity of the people of England. An orator of antiquity had said that the first excellence of oratorf was delivery, that the second was also delivery, and that the third was still delivery. Saints had promulgated that the first virtue was humility, the second humility, and the third humility. He would say to the meeting, that their first virtue should be determination, their second determination, and the third determination. The time was corns when the people of England were called upon to act. He was astonished to find that there were men in the nation who had determined to oppose the people of England; and it had been said by the Marquis of Lon donderry, that by boroughmongers uniting, they would easily gain a victory over the people. It was worthy of remembrance, that the Marquis who spoke thus was, but a short time since, nothing but a piper—and dearly would he say had the people of England paid that piper. He could tell that individual, that nature, who had bestowed on other men brains and wisdom, hail made him nothing but a fool. Talk of the people being subdued by such men as the Marquis and his friends (said Mr. 111‘D.), as well might thejlea lift up its voice against the comb of the virgin, or the mole-hills of the earth attempt to stop in their headlong course the falls of Niagara ;—(Laughter. ) [The speaker here madea clever and whimsical remark on the sub ject of the late remark of the Editor of the Times news paper, "that certain Lords were things with human preten sions," and made use of some very forcible arguments to prove that the Times had not departed from the truth on the subject.) The speaker then proceeded to observe, that he could tell the Marquis of Londonderry that in opposi tion to such principles as were held by him and his party, there were Noblemen in the land—men whose very names beamed as a constellation of greatness—who so far from valuing the right which they possessed through the for tuitous circumstances of birth and the quarterings on their escutcheons, looked upon such rights as disgrace rather than honour. He would laugh at Londonderry and his tribe. The coming thunder of the people would soon frighten them out of the possession of their little wits. The Cato-streetconspiracy sunk into insignificance in comparison with that which was then affecting the liberty of the people, and, in prospective, of their very lives. Referring to the late struggle in the House of Commons, he said, that out of all the Catholic Members of Parliament,there had been only one who voted in opposition to the Bill. The remainder had given it their sanction and support. Ireland had thus nobly fought the battle for them. English Members bad been far in the majority against the Bill, and Scotland's repre sentatives were two to one against it. This had atisen from no sectarian feeling, but because Ireland, thirty years ago, had been deprived of her rotten boroughs ; and bad England shared the same fate, she would not have stood in the predicament she was now in. Sir R. Peel had said that he could not look upon the Bill, becmse it took away the rotten boroughs without giving compensation. Such a feeling was hypocritical. He had forgotten the paltry objec . c o , keeping up England above Scotland and Ireland, and for such an object rubbing Ireland without mercy— that Sir R. Peel did not mind. Rotten boroughs were of no sect, and of no country ; yet if he (Mr. 3PD.) were able to purchase a borough, whether he was a Turk or of any other nation, he would he thought a fit person to legislate. It was money, in the present day, that made the legislator. But let them rally round the King and his Ministers, and such things would end. Their most gracious Monarch might come among them, and where, he would ask, was the Russian or the Turk who would dare to molest him ? Mr. M'Donnell was much cheered during his speech, and concluded by seconding the reso lution, which was passed unanimously. It was then moved by Mr. W. WEsroN, that the thanks of this meeting he given to Mr. Beardsworth, fur the use of his splendid Repository on that day, and on so many other important occasions. Mr. Weston passed a high encomium on the public spirit at all times manifested by Mr. Beardsworth. Mr. Arrwoou observed that had it not been for the public spirit of their worthy host, that meeting now within its walls could not have been held, and the good which hid arisen from other meetings of the like nature, assem bled in the same place, would have been entirely unfelt by ecountry. A str.nger here made it known to the meeting ' that in conseq uence of a refusal bei ng ma d e to perm i t the tin."bln of the church bells of St. Martin's, the ringers had made an entry through the belfry window. He recommended, therefore, that a subscription should be entered into by the meeting, to reward the spirited conduct of the ringers. lie also informed them that a placard had been exhibited upon the walls of the town, in some measure prohlbitory of the intended illumination. Mr. Arrwoov recommended every one to illuminate or not, just as they thought proper. He would trouble them with one more remark. The writings of Mr. Cobbett on the great Bill of Reform during the last three months, lead been invaluable. But in his Register of List Saturday, be had stated that the people of England hai been err,nious in the expression of their gratitude to wards the Aristocrcy of the country, in thanking them for their voluntary surrender of their borough-patronage, when such patronage, as be stated, ought to have been surrendered thirty years ago. Here Mr. Cobbett was him self id error, The illustrious Noblemen in question bad in reality offered up their borough patronage en the altar of their country more than thirty years ago. During that long period, the Dukes of Norfolk and Devonshire, and. Lords Grosvenor, Cleveland, Fitzwilliam, and Radnor, they, or their imar diate ancestors, had continually and incessantly advocated the cause of Reform, and con stantly tendered the voluntary surrender of their boroughs. They were nut idiots enough to give their boroughs up into the hands of the enemy, for that would have been merely , to enable the enemy to sow tares where the wheat had ripened for the support of the national liberty. But in always offering up their boroughs for the benefit of their country, and in finally surrendering them when called upon, the illustrious Noblemen in question, had given the most undeniable proof of the sincerity of their professions, and of their readiness to fulfil them at the very first mo ment that their country required it. Mr. Attwood con ' eluded by again recommending the strict observance of peace, order, and forbearance, towards all classes of his Majesty's subjects. The resolutions which were the immediate business of the meeting having now been passed, and the chairman having left the chair, it was moved and seconded, that Joseph Scholefield, Esq. should succeed Mr. Attwood in that effire. This was passed, and it was then moved that "the thanks of the meeting are eminently due, and are hereby given to the chairman, Thomas Attwood, Esq. . _ - . for his able and impartial conduct in the chair." A man, to use the words of Mr. Sal►, the mover, who had bought Leld.•n opinions from all sorts of people. This resolution was seconded by the Rev. M. M'Dnnnell, who, after having bestowed an eulogium upon the character of Mr. Attwood, and the great services he had done to the cause of Reform, took occasion to mention the illness of Mr. Edmonds, and to allude to the subscription which it was intended to enter into, for the purpose of presenting to that gentleman a trifling memorial of the public's appro bation of his spirited and just labours and conduct. Mr. SCHOLEFIELD said that, alluding to the resolution !nought forward as a vote of thanks to Mr. Attwood, he would only observe that that gentleman hid not only raised Birmingham to a high station, but that he had also exalted England. lie wished to make it knows that the Political Union of Birmingham had done much in the pro. motion of the Bill_of Reform. The vote of thanks was then passed to Mr. Attwood in the most unanimous manner, and three cheers given for him. Mr. ATTWOOD Faid that he felt deeply the expression of their approbation. He would say that he had laboured Lard in the cause, and he would not be so vain as to say that he had entirely undeserved it. They had lavished their favours upon him, and they reminded him of what a clergyman at Warwick had lately said of him. That gentleman had designated him (Mr. A.) as a man wish ing to stir up his country to anarchy and rebellion. He had also gone so far as to attribute the late burnings in Kent to his (Mr. A.'s) influence. He certainly did not relish the idea of the but flings being placed to his account, but it made him proud to hear that the excitation throughout the country was owing to his endeavours. He had told the meeting at which he was present at Warwick, that if he had loused the British Lion he was indeed proud of it. He could say that his heart and thoughts had been at work for thirty years, to promote the happiness of the great mass of the people. And such efforts were a cordial to him. lie trusted that the King and his Ministers would he able to accomplish the liberty of the people without bloodshed. He would never let slip the opportunity to say how peacefully it should be done. If it came to a trial of physical force, it was impossible to say what might befall the country. There could be no doubt that under the new Parliament the right of 154 men, who had for. merly made the Parliament, would give way to the greater right of 100,000. Under the beneficence of a new House of Representation, the wrongs of England, Scotland, and Ireland would be turned away. Mr. SALT then proposed a resolution, which though not entering into the business of the day, was, he said, of ex- treme importance to the nation, He then made some remarks connected with his motion, on the present system of the Bank of England, and in strong terms deprecated the measures which that monopoly had adopted in playing with the currency of the country, by forcing the supplies of notes into the hands of the nation, and then drawing them back again. He trusted that the meeting would ex press itself upon the subject. From Birmingham, said the speaker, had gone forth a voice which had made the dead alive, and he trusted that that voice would again go forth with the force which had accompanied it in times not long since past. The resolution was as follows :—" That the Political Council be instructed by this Meeting to consider the propriety of memorializing Earl Grey, requesting that he will not, during the agitation of the great question of R e f orm , . . 1 , _ . leave the vital interests of the country to th e a r bit ar y influ ence of the Bank of England." The motion was seconded by Mr. Hipkiss ; but in consequence of its being out of order, it was net put to the sense of the meeting. Mr. Atttvood eventually came forward, and said that the mo tion proposed by Mr. Salt would be withdrawn from the notice of the meeting, and recommended for discussion at a future period, to the Council of the Political Union. The proceedings of the day now terminated, and the National Anthem was sung most enthusiastically by the great assemblage, accompanied by the band of the Union. Three times three cheers were then given for the King, three cheers for her Majesty Queen Adelaide, and a groan, long and loud, and mingled with many expressions of con tempt and hatred, resounded through the building for the boroughmongers and their friends. The multitude then quietly dispersed.—Birmingham Journal. WARWICK, MAY 4. (taoe A CORRESPONDENT.) Desperate efforts have been made to-day by Sir Charles Greville's party, and they have succeeded in getting within a few votes of Mr. King, but their strength is exhausted, and the friends of Mr. King are still certain of success. The lame, the halt, and the blind have been brought to the poll, and every thing tends to skew the election is over. Should Mr. King succeed, it will be nearly, if not quite as great a victory as Serjeant Wilde's at Newark. The interest of Lord Warwick is imniense, and we really wonder at the public spirit of the people of Warwick in coining forward to oppose Sir Charles Greville, and thereby throw the Castle interest away. There have been up wards of 300 votes objected to, and many of them for not being properly rated. If they had b een so , M r . Ki ng would have had an immense majority. STATE OF THE POLL.—FOURTH DAY. Tomes CO3 King 6reville .505 PLYMOUTH ELECTION, MAY 2. (FRO3I A CORRESPONDENT.) This contest I fear will terminate in the election of Sir T. B. Martin and Sir G. Cockburn. Sir B. Martin voted in favour of the second reading of the Bill, and also against General Gascoyne's amendment, but Sir George Cockburn by his votes showed he was an Awi-reformer. He has stated to-day that be is a moderate reformer, but his plan differs almost in toto to the Ministers' plan. Of course he knew as well as others of that factious party which lately spewed their jesuitical tactics in the House of Commons, it would not do to say that there should be no Reform. The new candidate, the Hon. Captain Elliott, has pledged himself, if returned, to support the Ministers' Bill, and upon that ground he offered himself to the electors. This borough, which hns a population of about 27,000 inhabitants, has only about 180 freemen, and they have for a series of years past been under the controul of six or seven individuals, who have provided in a handsome way for themselves and their families. One of them is the brother of the Governor-General of Van Dietnan's Land, who, I perceive by your paper of Sa turday last, is to he recalled. Sir George has represented the borough about four years, and during that time he has obtained situations for a great number of the freemen, and on that ground these borouglimongers principally voted for him—regardless of the nation's welfare and the great ques tion of Reform—to chew the public the inconsistency of the electors, and the manner they have this day acted, I need only state that many of them attended the Reform meetings lately held here, and also signed the petitions praying for Reform, yet forsooth, because they have re ceived favours from Sir George, they lose sight of the vital question—Reform. Unfortunately a great number of freemen are incapacitated from voting in consequence of their not having been elected twelve months—for you should know that these worthies, when they found the declarations of Ministers before the introduction of the Reform Bill were sufficient to convince them that it would be an effectual and efficient Reform, they thought proper to open the borough. Sir George is quite unpo pular with the inhabitants, and when votes were given for him there were hisses and groans. In short if there were that number of electors, which from so great a popu lation there ought to be, he would not have had the shade of a shadow of chance. If Sir George is returned there will be a meeting of the inhabitants to address Isis most gracious Majesty for his patriotic and magnani mous con duct, and to set forth their grievances by stating that although he is returned it is contrary to their wishes.

By order of the Committee, ; I AMES BRISTOW, Chairman, , COVENTRY, MAY 3. (FROM OUR cOItREsrONDENT.) Mr. Fyler perseveres in keeping open the poll, although he has brought up but sixty-one votes during the whole day. H e and all his friends are convinced of the utter impossibility of winning; but it seems he wishes to luxu riate a little longer in the pleasures of revenge. At the close to-day the numbers were—for Ellice, 1658 ; Bulwer 1560; and Fyler 1100; and the latter gentleman has ex pressed his intention to go again to the booth in the morn ing. Preparations are being made for the chairing of Messrs. Ellice and Bulwer, which it is hoped will take place on Thursday. MALISIEsBURY ELECTION. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT. The Malmesbury election took place on Monday, the 2d inst. when such a scene was presented as scarcely ever before occurred on a similar or any other occasion. Mr. Pitt, who has for so long a period nomin ited the repre sentatives to the borough, proposed to the worthy and independent burgess elector, the re-election of their old* tried, faithful, and honest servant Sir Charles Forbes, whose absence on the occasion he regretted, and the more so on account of its arising from ill he ilth. He also pro • posed for their re-election their other late representative, Mr. John Forbes.—(Cries of " who is he; is he ill too? Why is he not here? They were at Eastcourt, and well enough, on Friday.") After waiting some time in vain for some gentleman to second the nomination of Sir Charles and his son, Mr. Partridge rose, and in a mast able and eloquent speech proposed G. Poulet Scrope, Esq. of Castle Comte., as a fit and proper person to represent the borough in Parliament, assuring the worthy bur gesses that he Mr. Scrope, as a near neighbour, a man of high family connexions, great acquirements, a staunch friend of the people, loyal to his King, and desirous of serving his country with the utmost zeal and fidelity, was a much fitter person for their election than either of the candidates who had been previously proposed to them, and that as this would be the last time that they, the Capital Burgesses would have the exclusive right of electing the Representatives of the borough to serve in Parliament, he conjured them to do an act which would make them to be respected amongst their neighbours, when on a future occasion they should be engaged with them in exercising the rights of their elective franchise, instead of being held up to their derision and contempt. Mr. Partridge was followed by Captain Bishop, who in a short and neat speech seconded the nomination of Mr. Scrope. Mr.- Scrope then came forward, and in one of the most manly, temperate, and eloquent speeches ever delivered within the precincts of this borough, offered his serv:ces, and solicited the suffrages of the worthy Burgesses. But to follow him through his speech, or give any thing Ilse an adequate re • port of it, is utterly out of my power, and therefore I must content myself with referring to those parts of it which excited the most attention, and called forth the loudest plaudits. He and his friends had decidedly the possession of the field, their speeches averts heard, and they were most loudly and rapturously applauded, whilst the remarks of the opposite party w, re followed by hisses and groans, most dismal to bear. He (Mr. S.) began by ex plaining the Reform called for by his Majesty's Ministers and the friends of the people, and sanctioned by the King himself, and in allusion to the assertion of those opposed to the measure, that the fill brought in by the Ministers, if enacted into a law, would be subversive of our glorious Constitution in church and state, beautifully demonstrated that the effect would be quite the contrary; that the people would be fairly represented in their own House, and by such men as would introduce laws calcu lated to uphold the digniSy of the Crown and the just rights of all his Majesty's subjects ; that the Noble Peers of the realm for having given their sanction to such a re presentation would live in the hearts of the people, and enjoy the rights and privileges of their own House without jealousy and suspicion, and that the crown would be more firmly rivetted on the head of his Majesty than ever; and, with respect to the church, he asked them, if they could suppose for a moment that it was founded on rotten bo roughs. He begged to assure them that our religion wanted no such support, and that the just rights of the church would never be invaded by such men as would he sent to the House of Commons under the new mea sure of Reform, and in speaking of the church with refer ence to the Reform Bill he begged to §,sk them, if they were not aware that our religion itself was a Reformed religion, and that hut for such a Reform Malmesbury Abbey would be still in its primitive glory, and they would be going to mass ; and that no sounder objection could be made to the reforming of the representation of the people when found necessay than existed with respect to the Church, when a reform of our religion was found necessary. He next drew their attention more particularly to close boroughs, and the distinction to be drawn between the boroughowners and the borougbmongers. The bo roughowner he would describe as the man desirous of ex ercising his right of nomination in sending to the House of Commons men of intelligence, and desirous of pro motiog the good of their country, and who now, when he finds the voices of the King and the people against the system, readily comes forward and surrenders all such advantages for the good of his fellow subjects, as a great many Noble Peers and Commoners (whom he named) had done. The boroughmonger, on the contrary, he would look on as the man who would treat his right of nomina tion as his stock in trade, and who now, to the last mo ment, would cleave to the system to put money into his Own pocket, and though.he could never expect another op portunity, after the present of doing so, still he would endeavour to grasp the last penny to be got by such a farce as they were then witnessing. At this moment the Honourable Candidate was interrupted by an observation from an official gentleman, who said that Mr. Scrope could not proceed without a prompter. This called forth Mr. Partridge, who in a most spirited way retorted, that if he possessed the ability of prompting Mr. Scrope, he should feel proud in doing so in such a cause and upon such an occasion ; but he was bound to admit that he had it not in his power, and added, that Mr. Scrope possessed much higher talents than either himself or the gentleman who had made the observation. Mr. Scrope resumed, still with temper and good humour, and briefly answered the interruption by observing, that he was at the time describing the passing scene as a farce, and jocosely asked them if they bad ever seen a farce without a prompter? But he trusted, he said, that the scene would not end like a farce, but that they would now at least deliver their votes conscientiously, and let it be said that they had done an honest act for once in their lives. He then reminded them that the Members now to be re turned would in all probability enjoy their seats but for a very sh or t period, perhaps not above six weeks or two months, which would put an end for ever to their return ing Members to Parliament, and that the present would be the only opportunity they would have of redeeming their characters ; and he begged most seriously to im press upon their minds, that before giving their votes they would have individually to take the oath against bribery anti corruption. It was an awful ceremony, and he trusted they would not take the name of their God in .vaio ; he could not help observing, from their venerable appearances, that many of them appeased to have but a short time to live, and that all of them must at no distant period appear before their Creator to answer for their deeds, and he earnestly hoped and trusted that they would not have to add to the lists of their crimes the commission of perjury that day ; he should leave his case in their hands, and if they thought fit to send him to the House o f Commons they should find him at his post zealously discharging his duties for the good of the country at large. The bribery oath was then administered to the burgesses individually (an awful ceremony), and the poll imme diately commenced. The scene of polling was truly ludi crous; one of the burgesses voted f or Ch ar l es H o bb s , an d Jo h n Hobbs, and another Sir Charles Fords, and Sir John Fords (the latter repeated by the burgess three times over a t the request of Mr. Partridge, who protested against an y prompting), and several others made similar blunders • • in giving their votes ; but at l e n g th it appeared that a majority had pronounced the names correctly, and Si r 'Caries Forbes and his son were:declared duly elected. Mr. Scro p e wa s then about to address the e le c t ors , b u t was re fused a bearing by the persons in authority, who abruptly adjourned the Court. The shouts of the multitude now become • roost deafening, cries of "Scrope for ev er —h e s h a ll s p e ak —he shall b e hear d — we will have him next time.— i 0 Forbes for us—down with the Forbes's—come forward Mr. Scrope next time, and we will support you," Sze. Yee. Scrope was accompanied to the Inn by several respectable gentlemen of the town, and followed by a mul_ the inhabitants cheering him a s th e y went. In the evening the town was all a li ve , u p war d s o f 500 per sonsparaded the streets with effigies of the elect e d Mem btietrusd;e 0f the one representing Sir Charles Forbes, having a label suspended from the neck with the words, " 0 Lord, I do deserve it ;" and the other representing his son, a similar label, with the words " 0 Lord, what shall l do ?"and these representatives of the Members, after beingparaded through the streets, and flogged for a considerable time, were publicly burnt in the principal street of the borough. A FREEHOLDER OF MALMESBURY, SANDWICH, 11141 TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Mr. Grant, of Margate, continues to apprise the Editor, that Sir T. Trowbridge has again triumphantly beaten (Price) the agent for corruption, by triple the number of yesterday. Balance against boroughtnongels 63 this day ! Details at bottom. Mr. Marryatt is phut), out of all question, safe at the head of the poll. At four o'clock this day, a gentleman wished to announce in the Town Hall, that up to the Ist of May the grand total of new Members returned are 69, viz.— , - For Reform 4B Against it 2l Majority but out of said 21 against, 16 are from rotten boroughs, and five from places affected by the Reform Bill, from a printed paper jut from London ! You will be astonished to hear (to the disgrace of Sandwich) lie was, for thi4 offence to the borough, turned out of the Hail ! How dif ferent the conduct of Dover and Canterbury!! J. G. ROMSEY, MAY 3. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Sir James Macdonald made a public, and it might b said, a triumphal entry into this town to-day; at the entrance of it he was met by 200 persons on horseback, and an immense number of pedestrians, who, preceded by two bands of music and flying odours, escorted him to the town, amidst the almost deafening shouts of the people. In short, nothing can describe the enthusiasm di:-played in this town to-day. All the windows were filled by ladies, who, by the waiving of handkerchiefs, testified that they themselves were reformers. The rich and poor, the high and low, were all blended together to expre-s that one universal feeling in favour of %farm, which must have terrified the stoutest heart of a baroughmonger. On his arriving at the White Horse Sir James addressed the crowd to a considerable length, in which he said that he had no doubt but that Hampshire would deliver itself from the tyranny of the beroughmongers, and establish its ancient indepen dence. After cheers being given for the King, Sir James, and the Ministers, the crowd soon dispersed. CAMBRIDGE ELECTION. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The slate of the poll at five o'clock yesterday afternoon, at Cambridge, Mr. Cavendish 251 Lord Palmerston 250 Mr. Goulburn 121 Mr. Peel Though Messrs. Gott!burn and Peel cre more than seventy a-head of their two opponents, we understand that confident hopes are entertained by the friends of Lord Palmerston and Mi. Cavendish that they soil! ultimately succeed. Their adversaries possess the advantage of having a number of their supporters in the immediate neighbour hood, and the Isle of Ely may be considered a sort of Anti- Reform depot. They have thus obtained a majority in the outset. The friends of the Ministerial candidates are, however, coming fast up. It is of the utmost importance, now that the contest is fairly begun, that the supporters of Lord Palmerston and Mr. Cavendish should hasten, with as little delay as possible, to the poll. The slight ad vantage gained by the adversar) is anything but decisive. The lost ground can soon be regained. We repeat, then, that no time is to be lost. The University of Cambridge will not, surely, incur the disgrace of returning two such Members as Goulburn and Peel. SALTASH ELECTION. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) On Mond ry the 2d of May Frederick Villiers, E.g., of Lincoln's-inn, barrister, and Bethel Walrond, Esq., of Dulford-house, Devon, were returned fur the borough of Saltash. Mr. Villiers gave a direct pledge in support of the Ministerial plan of Reform, and Mr. Walrond pledged himself so far as the new enfranchisement principle ope rated, reserving full power to exercise his discretion in regard to the arrangement of number of Members for England, Ireland, and Scotland. The proceedings of the day were marked by a determination on the part of the independent electors to have Reform Members ; and the candidates were very shrewdly attacked by the Rev. Mr. Dawson, Messrs. Veale, Littlehart, and Chubb, in order to ascertain their real sentiments, and so as to enable the electors to depend upon their support of the King and his Ministers. Lord Darlington arrived on Thursday last confident of succees, but left in despair on Saturday. The county of Cornwall, in regard to the Reform measure, is following the noble example of Devon, not only in the return of Reform Members for the boroughs in all practicable cases, but it is gratifying to state that the saccess of Sir Charles Lemon and Mr. Penddrves (two staunch Reformers) for the county, is beyond a doubt. NORWICH ELECTION, MAY 3. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) This election terminated at three o'clock this day, at which time the books were closed by the Sheriffs, who made proclamation this morning of their intention. The prolongation of the contest has only served to render the enemies of Reform more ridiculous. The Court of the Hall was filled instantly; they began to cheer the Mem bers, and groan over the remains of Sadler and Wetherell. The Sheriffs entered the Hall about half-past three, accom panied by Mr. Grant, Mr. Gurney still being detained in London by illness, and the loudest huzzas greeted him. Mr. Sheriff Bignold, as Court Sheriff, then announced the numbers to be for— The Right Hon. Robert Grant 2,163 R. H. Gurney, Esq. Sir C. Wetherell, Knt. M. T. Sadler, Fsq. Majority ...........-1,1.99 and declared R. H. Gurney, Esq. and the Right Hon. R. Grant, to be duly elected. " The many rent the skies with loud applause," and it continued for many minutes after, which The Right Hon. R. GRANT briefly expressed his ac knowledgements to his friends, both on behalf of himself and his Hon. Colleague, and'also to the Sheriffs for their impartiality, stating at the same time, that after the chairing (which takes place to-morrow at twelve o'clock) he should have the honour of addressing them at length. Mr. I'. ROBBERDS shortly addressed the electors to the same purport, and spoke deservedly highly of the im. partiality of the Sheriffs (S. Bignold and J. Wiseman, Esqrs.) at their firmness in bringing it to a close. WINCHESTER, MAY 3. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Yesterday morniug there was no man held in higher estimation in this city than Paulett St. John Mildmay, our representative; to-day there is no one held in deeper contempt. The vote which he gave, uncalled for, to Mr. East, whom he knew to be opposed to the measure, which he had not, an hour before, been advocating, and to which he had pledged himself; for by that vote alone was Mr. Baring defeated ; even his mother's tenants, who had promised Mr. Baring their votes, upon hearing what Mr. Mildmay had done, slaves like, gave their votes to Mr. East. In his cheering he was assailed by cries of rat, rat, and in the course of the evening his effigy was bunt twice, once before the George Inn, and afterwards before his own house and at various parts of this city. We per ceived this morning upon various walls the words " Mild may, the rat." The votes are printed in red and black, in order that the friends of Reform may see their enemies in a small compass. To-morrow there will be a meeting of the householders of Winchester at the George Inn, when the conduct of Mr- Mildmay will be taken into consideration. The con nection between the city of Winchester and Mr. Mildmay appears to be very near its close; and it is to be hoped that when the power of election is vested in the inhabi tants at large, they will choose from amongst themselves a citizen better qualified by his local knowledge and resi dence to represent them in the Commons House of Parlia ment. BIRMINGHAM REFORM MEETING. A very numerous meeting was held at the Bell Tavern, on Monday last, of the brass and iron-founders, amounting to about 2,000, for the purpose of entering into a sub scription for erecting a monument to the memory of our patriotic King William the Fourth, in honour of the dis tinguished conduct of that Sovereign, who may now be called the Great, and the people's friend. SAMUEL BUTLER, Esq., an extensive iron-founder, of Cheapside, in this town, took the Chair, and delivered a most elaborate speech on the great benefit our beloved So vereign and his enlightened Ministers had conferred upon the nation by doing away with that infamous corruption, the boroughmongering system, which has too long dis graced the free representation of Englishmen in the flousi of Commons, as hitherto the Aristocracy have bad the whole power in their hands , but with a King such a we now possess (and may he live for years !) England will flourish, and the people enjoy their rights and be free. A vote of thanks was returned to the Chairman, afte which a subscription of 900/. was entered into, and ea. u n t d e on th t e o ir c m o it a e wa to y Is th i t e h p the a tr i c o o t r i c .. rf p uu e u r pd s t o bo n n orwo promised uesita:o! gst established n n t r L i bo CARDIFF, MAY 2. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,-Your insertion in your Paper of the advice of g Cymro" to the electors of the Glamorganshire boroughs, induces me again to trouble you with the remarks of Cymro's Friend on Lord James Stuart's denunciations against the unfortunate Taffy, whose love of Reform and hatred of corruption led him to recommend so impudent a thing as to ask a Lord a civil question. From time fin memorial these boroughs had been the heir-loom of tbe family in whose possession they now remain, and when We consider that the elective franchise of Cardiff can be con' ferred only by the Marquis of Bute, it can hardly be wondered at that independent spirits are so rarely met with here ; indeed, the appearance of a solitary one who has the temerity to risk the frowns and malignant glances of his Lordship—(glances which, although they were di rected with less than Arab hospitality at his own guest, arid at his own table, fell innocuous to the ground)—even That one, the sum total of whose prowess is a grey goose quill, sets the Aristocratic ingredients of this independent and liberal Nobleman in the most alarming effervescence. Sir, your unparalleled advocacy of the cause of the people will, I doubt not, incline you to insert this letter, together with the trilitreis to the freemen which accom panies it, in your admirable and patriotic Paper. The effect of Cymro's placard, whiith will draw down upon him tho vengeance of the irritated Lord—for there was annihilation in his eye—has been to elicit from his Lord ship a declaration, from which, in all his preceding elec tion sp.eches, he abstained. That being the case, Cyniro is careless as to any personal consequences which may re :t to himself, lam, Sir, your obliged servant, ANOTHER FRIEND OF CYMRO'S. FREEMEN OF CARDIFF. Our representative has dimmed the lustre of his speech from the hustings, by expressing in terms unwarrantably severe, his anger at the question recommended by "Cymro." Now, my brother freemen, without for a moment ques tioning the t ight of any man to put himielf in a passion about ❑othing., it does appear to me strange, that Lord James Stuart should have chosen to exhibit his wrath at the plain question of an inoffensive 'Welshman, put as re spectfully as may be; and one for which so many prece dents are, at the present time, to be met with. Surely after the political tergiversation which recent proceedings have developed, it could not be deemed a crime of so heinous a nature as is represented, for Cymro to endeavour to prevent the possibility of similar delinquency in this borough by obtaining a pledge, and the method suggested to him as the most efficient, was that he adopted. With out presuming for a moment to impugn the motives by which the Parliamentary conduct of our honourable re presentative has been directed ; I ask you whether we were not justified in anticipating something analogous to ratting, when we perceived that his Lordship, in his address, omitted to allude in the remotest manner to the all• absorbing question which now agitates the kingdom fr.on one end to the other ;—an omission observable in no other candidate, however well known his sentiments--and if to that circumstance we add the notorious fact, that his Noble Brother, the Patron of this borough, is decidedly hostile to the popular measure of Reform ; surely I say, we had a right, without subjecting ourselves to the potent influence of Lord James Stuart's ire, to satisfy ourselves on the question. It cannot be denied by his Lordship's warmest adrairers,—and I am proud to rank myself, amongst them,—that doubts existed whether his Lord ship's principles of Refirat were sufficiently strong to oppose the wishes of a brother to whom be is bound by every tie, save that of polities ; and I am hound to con fess, that I was agreeably surprised (and my feelings were participated by the majority of the burgesses of this town), at the open, manly, and unequivocal manner in which his Lordship's sentiments were declared ; and I only ask in the name of the Junto by whom Cyairo's question was recommended, the same justice which his Lordship at the close of his speech asked fur himself—a belief in the pu rity of the motives by which they were guided. Cardiff, Mty 2. A FRIEND OF CYAIRO'S. STAMFORD, MAY 3. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The election terminated at one o'clock, by the triumph of the independent electors in the return of Mr. Tennyson, Colonel Chaplin having resigned at that hour. The burst of enthusiasm which followed this acknowledged defeat of the Marquis of Exeter, may be well conceived by every British bosom in which the spirit of liberty beats. The poll opened at nine o'clock by Mr. Tennyson re suming, as usual, his daily demand on the Mayor for a list of the special constables, to whom the conservation of the public peace was committed. Mr. Tennyson repeated his dethand for thin list, and bow their cost was to be de frayed. The Maroa, who is poH;essed of few patts of speech, was dumb. Mr. HI LYA RD, the assemor, then appeared, and stated that he, on behalf of the Mayor, took the responsibility of refusing the list and the desired information. The question was then put by Mr. TENNYSON to the Assessor, who appointed him to his office? The ASSESSOR replied. the Town-clerk, by a regular retainer, and that he was proud of his connection with the Corporation of Stamford, and " would not foul his own nest." Mr. PARKES warned the Assessor of the respansibility of refusing the list of constables, the Mayor being ame nable to a criminal information in the Court of King's Bench this term for swearing-in such a gang of scamps, pugilists, and pick-pockets from the metropolis ; and he (Mr. Parkes) pledged himself that thcse who hired and employed these wretches—be they noble or of civic autho rity in Stamford—should be pub'icly exposed and brought to justice. Mr. TENNYSON then animadverted on a printed bill, issued the over night by Lord Cecil and Colonel Chaplin, complaining that force on Monday prevented the approach of their voters to the hustings. Mr. TENNYSON denied the allegation, and alledgtd that they had no voters to poll. At one o'clock, with a majority of upwards of fifty in favour of Mr. Tennyson, and only thirty votes on each side being undetermined in the assessor's booth, Col. Chaplin intimated his intention of declining the contest. It was then arranged to close the poll, recording the unde termined votes on each side as tendered. The final poll was as follows : Lord Cecil 390 Mr. Tennyson 356 Colonel Chaplin 302 On the close of the poll and the completion of the return, Lord CECIL addressed the electors. He was audibly heard till he appealed to his majority, as a proof that the electors of Stamford were opposed to the Reform (Here a most furious gust of indignation burst forth, and his Lordship concluded his discourse.) Colonel CHAPLIN very handsomely stated his reasons for not protracting the contest. Mr. TENNYSON addressed the electors under the excite ment of strong feeling, and eloquently pourtrayed the moral effect of the issue of this memorable contest on the whole nation. He paid a high eulogium to the personal character of Colonel Chaplin, whom he regarded as a friend, but opposed on public grounds.--The feelings of the Hon. Member and of Colonel Chaplin were here quite overcome. The successful candidates were then chaired ; Lord Cecil accompanied exclusively by the special constables and agri cultural retainers of Burleigh House, Mr. Tennyson amidst the whole population of the borough, the lath( s of almost every house in the principal streets of the town demonstrat ing their feelings and triumph by streams of blue ribbons floating from the windows. Mr. Tennyson's Committee consisted of upwards of 100 of the most opulent and respectable tradesmen of the town. All the clergy, all the attornies (one gentleman, Mr. Clay, only excepted), and most of the other professional inhabi tants of this " Little (Mord," were in the interest of the Marquis of Exeter, and a more signal victory never was gained by perseverance and patriotic disinterestedness. To the honour of many coerced electors, they refused in several instances to vote for the boroughrnonger' s candi d ite, although they could not cast off his fetters and vote Mr Reform. The professional agents of Lord Cecil and Colonel Chaplin were Mr. Adolphus and Mr. Balguy as coutsel, • and all the local attornies as agents. For Mr. Tennyson, Mr. Raine as counsel, Mr. Parkes, of Birmingham, and Mr. Lee, of Newark, as solicitors. On Friday Mr. Ten. nyson, on his return from Cambridge, where he is going t vote for the liberal candidate, will be again chaired, and a public illumination of the whole town will take place. No Member has ever been returned for this borough against the interest of the Exeter family for upwards of 100 years. Great numbers of the yeomen and farmers of the adjoin ing parts of Lincolnshire came into the town to assist the cause ; and the crowds from all parts assembled in the borough to witness the result was unexampled . NV e are requested to contradict the report of Prince TALLEYIAND having purchase I a house in Londou and a residence in one of the counties of England, with a view to a permanent mtlement in that kingdom.
