B UCKIN GHAMSHIRE. Without entering into the merits of the question, or attempting to blame or exculpate any one, I must say it is much to be lamented that such an arrange ment was not resorted to at the beginning of this contest as might have strengthened the cause of Reform, by effecting a firm coalition between the two liberal candidates. Of course an equal par ticipation in the expences of the election, as well as community of principle and purpose, must have con stituted an element of the coalition. Had it been cordially formed, and were the contest conducted with spirit, I think there can be very little doubt that the result of the election would have been triumphantly favourable to the popular cause. If a reform coalition were to take place, even at this eleventh hour, and if energetic means were adopted to canvass the freeholders and convey them to the poll, I think the victory might still be with the righteous cause. AYLESBURY. The contest for the representation of this borough was continued with increased spirit and activity throughout Saturday. The interval between the close of the poll on Friday night, and its re-com mencement on the following morning, was employed on all sides in canvassing the electors, and the result of that exertion, added to the necessary attraction of market day, was to collect in Aylesbury a large number of voters from the adjoining hundreds. Notwithstanding great personal exertion on the part of the new candidate, and Lord Nugent's abstinence from canvassing, —an omission made by his Lord ship on principle, but partially supplied by the zeal of his friends,—the majority of the first day has been more than doubled, and Lord Nugent is now 62 a-head of his opponent. The right of voting is in all inhabitant householders who have not received parochial relief for a period of 12 months preceding the election. In the town this class includes many poor and dependent persons who cannot be expected to exercise their privilege judiciously and freely at all times. The voters of the three adjoining hun dreds, united with the borough many years ago on account of its corruption, are of a better description, and from among them Lord Nugent derives a large proportion of his supporters. His numbers are also swelled by the more intelligent and respectable inhabitants of the town. The polling re-commenced at nine o'clock on Sa :urday morning, and was continued till five, early in ;he day the Chandos " pocket-votes" pouring in hickly. The town being surrounded by the Duke's pro perty, it is apprehended that it might become almost a close borough in his hands if Lord Nugent were to fail on the present occasion. ESSEX COUNTY.- THIRD DAY. CHELMSFORD, MAY 7.—This election is already decided, and in Essex, hitherto the fastness of Toryism, the cause of Reform is pre-eminently tri umphant. This will be the first defeat that the Blues have sustained in Essex, and it will be the last contest that they shall ever maintain against the people. The spirit of generous enthusiasm which the Reform Bill has diffused throughout all England pervades every district of Essex, and the electors are coming tip in great numbers, and at their own expense, even from the most distant parts of the county, to give their votes for the cdndidates who are pledged to support the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill. Voters from Braintree, Halstead, and other districts of the county, came into town to day about twelve o'clock in coaches, gigs, chariots, and on horseback, with banners flying., on which the mottoes " Western and Wellesley," " Reform for ever," " At our own expense," &c., were inscribed. They were loudly cheered by the populace as they proceeded through the town to the poll. The Col chester voters are expected to come up in a large body on Monday, headed by Mr. D. W. Harvey. In short the Blues have no chance of success; but as they have hitherto been able to muster a great force in the county, and as there remain about 3,000 voters still utipolled, the Reformers are wisely de termined not to relax in the slightest degree in their exertions, until the Blue candidate finally retires from the contest. The poll was closed at half -past five o'clock. Mr. WESTERN had little more to say than to con gratulate them on the triumphant result of that day's poll, which must gladden the heart of every honest Reformer, and which was decisive as to the opinion of the freeholders with regard to the great question submitted to them. Colonel TYRELL could not help congratulating the electors upon the great impartiality which they had hitherto displayed towards all parties, by giving to none of them a distinct hearing.--(A laugh.) He was sure that on Monday or Tuesday next he should change places with his opponents on the poll. Sir FELIX AGAR congratulated the freeholders upon the glorious result of that day's poll, so fa vourible as it was to the great cause in which they were all embarked. Mr. LENNARD, the Member for Maldon, having been loudly called for, came forward and addressed the electors. He heartily congratulated them on the successful efforts which they had made in the cause of Reform—the cause of the people of Eng land—that great cause which had bound them all together in the closest bonds of union and affection. lie was sure the freeholders of E•sex would give their cordial support to a measure calculated to strengthen and consolidate all the great interests of the country.—(Cheers.) The COURT was then adjourned until ten o'clock on Monday (this) morning. WARWICKSHIRE. The nomination for this county took place on 'Wed nesday last. Air. LAWLEY was nominated by Sir George Phillips, and Sir GREY SKIPWITII by Mr. Lillington. Mr. intimatediftlsttiraGno.thsekripewaintdhidate would did GREGORYbe brought forwardnot answer certain quest i ons which were about to be put to him. Mr. J. PARKED now stepped from one of the side galleries on to the centre table, opposite the candidates, and commenced by saying, that fully concurring in what had been said by Mr. Gregory, he would also support Sir Grey Skipwith, if that 1-lon. Baronet satisfactorily answered the interro gatives he now felt it his duty to put to him on two great and important subjects—Reform an d Re. trenchment. First (said Mr. Parkes), will you, Sir Grey Skipwith, give your entire support to that part of the Bill, schedules A. and B. which di s . franchises the corrupt and nomination borough s in the hands of the hereditary and monied Aristocracy ? —(A profound silence pervaded the Court.) Sir G. SKIPWITII (with great earnestness). — Most cordially.—(Vehement cheering.) Mr. PARKES—Secondly, w ill you, Sir Grey Skipwith, support the transfer of the franchise, as regulated in the Bill, among the commercial towns and agricultural districts of the country ? Sir GREY SKIPWITII— Most undoubtedly.— (Loud and renewed cheering.) Mr. PARKES—Thirdly, will you support that por tion of the Bill which extends the franchise in counties to leaseholders and copyholders, and in towns to inhabitant householders, paying a yearly rent of 101. ? Sir GREY SKIPWITR—Most entirely.— (Tu multuous cheering.) Mr. PARKES—The Hon. Baronet will allow me .., ',. 7 -- i . - 1 .- mod-- ( / . , . , . .. t _. ; t i - ~...„0.

Before the close of the poll, Lord Palmerston and Mr. Cavendish went up to the table to vote, and where received with shoutsof applause by the under graduates, Bze•, in the gallery. Cavendish left Cam bridge about an hour after it was over, and as he supped a few minutes at the Committee-room, the people took the horses out of the carriage, and drew him out of the town. There is one thing quite cer tain, that Cavendish and Palmerston's names were received in the Senate-house with long-continued cheering, showing a very decided feeling in their favour. Somebody in the gallery sung out, " Hurra for the Lunar Caustic ;" and it immediately pro duced reiterated shouts of laughter. Peel's qualifi cation has been at length discovered ; he is the most accomplished cock-fighter in England ! So that the Church now has for its advocates and representatives the scientific Ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer, and an eminent cock-fighter !! ! I must say that the victorious party look much more like losers than winners. They carry their tails manifestly between their legs, and look heartily ashamed of their new Members. CAMBRID GESHIRE. The following circular has been sent from Mr. Adeane's committee to the friends of that gentleman : 4 ' COM.MITTEE Room, FRIDAY, FOUR O'CLOCK.—Mr. Adeane takes the earliest opportunity of informing you that Lord Charles Manners has resigned, and of thanking you for your exertions in his favour." Thus has the cause of Reform triumphed here, in the certain return of Mr. Adeane, and Lord G. F. Osborne, both reformers—defeating the hitherto all powerful interest of the Rutland family. NORFOLK (From the Norwich Mercury.) During the past week there have been vague rumours of an opposition, but there was no visible manifestation of any such intention. At nine o'clock on Friday, the supporters of Coke and Folkes met as usual at Mile-cross, and about ten the candidates entered the city at the head of a body of yeomanry, numbering about 500 horsemen. The cavalcade proceeded by the customary avenues the Shire-hall. The usual forms having been gone through, The nomination commenced soGr, after ten o'clock. Mr. Coke was proposed by Sir Jacob Astley,VA seconded by Brampton Gurdon, Esq.; Sir William Folkes, by W. Windham, jun. Esq., and Mr. Lea mon, of Wtiitwell. Up to this hour (twelve), when necessity compels us to close our narration, the Court had been ad. dressed by the gentlemen above named, with a de• gree of eloquence and power rarely witnessed in our county business. GL Ol?I 0 US TRIUMPH OF REFORM IN HERTFORDSHIRE: FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) There is no county in England that has more nobly performed its duty on the present important occasion, than the county of Hertford, which has returned to Parliament six staunch reformers--viz., two for the county, Sir John Sebright and Nicolson Calvert, Esq.; two for the borough of Hertford, T. S. Duncombe and John Currie, Esqrs.; and two for St. Alban's, Sir Francis Vincent and Richard Godson, Esq. Both the boroughs were strongly contested; Hertford by Lord Ingestrie, the relative and nominee of the boroughmongering Marquis of Sali , bury, who, until this occasion, with the Cor poration as his tools, has always succeeded in forcing one anti•liberal Member upon the inhabitants; and St. Alban's, by Lord Grimston, the eldest son of the Earl of Verulam, the Lord Lieutenant of the county. Not , ing, however, could resist the gallant spirit of the reformers, who, despite threats and co pious offerings from the joint stock purse of Charles street, performed their duty as Englishmen ought to do on such an occasion. No sooner was Lord Grinaston beat at St. Alban's, than attempts were made to get him to stand for the county. The Tories came down liberally to meet the expence, Lord Sa lisbury subscribing 5,000/., and Lady Bridgewater 1,0001. Sir John Sebright roughly handled both the Marquis and Lord Grim.ston, taxing the latter with the subscription, which he designated as a " beggar's mode of getting into Parliament." Lord Grittisron admitted the fact, and justified it on the grounds of fluvial; heard that subscriptions were to be got up or: the other side. Lord Salisbury has left the county for Dorsetshire, where he is gene to lend a hand to his fellow-feelin g friend, Cork Castle I Bankes. IRELAND.—DUBLIN, MAY 5. The elections have commenced in Ireland with the most glorious prospects for Reform. Sir Etward Deering, the Anti-reform candidate for the borough of Wexford, made a formal announcement of his resignation yesterday, and Mr. C. A. Walker, a tho rough Reformer, will be returned without opposition to morrow. A Reformer will also be returned for new Ross ; and if, as I learn in a well-informed quarter, Mr. Lambert and Colonel Chichester shauld be returned for the county of Wexford, the Reformers will obtain an accession of three new Members (equal to six votes) from this county alone. Alr. N. P. Leader, a Reformer, was yesterday returned without opposition for the city of Kilkenny. Mr. Jephson has been returned for Mallow, and Sir John Newport for Waterford city. Both are decided Reformers. A vigorous contest is proceeding in the Earl of Kil morey's town of Newry. Mr. Dennis Maguire, a re spectable trader, opposes Mr. J. 11. Knox, who would not pledge himself to support the Reform Bill in all its chief details. CITY OF DUBLIN.—The election commences to-morrow. The reformers are quite confident of returning both their Members. I have made most diligent inquiry, and find that their anticipations are quite justified. The example of Liverpool has accomplished wonders. All the parishes are meeting and subscribing. COUNTY OF WATERFORD.SiT Richard Musgrave, Bart., and Mr. John Power, oppose the Beresfords. Mr. 11. W. B irron has resigned in favour of the Reform can didates, for whom a large subscription has been made. The Beresfords will be beaten. The College election commences on Saturday. The issue is extremely doubtful—the contest, will be neck and neck. LIMERICK, MAY 4.—The moment the dissolution was made known a Committee was voluntarily formed here, consisting principally of the leading merchants and Mem bers of the Chamber of Commerce. They not only took measures to insure the return of Mr. Spring Rice, but entered into very large subscriptions that his return might be without any expense. More than 1,5001 was received in a few hours. On the canvass the success of the Reform cause was complete, and this morning Mr. Dixon, who had spent upwards of 8,000/. on the last election, has bolted, and Mr. Rice's return is secure. The election will be on Saturday. In the county of Limerick the sitting Members, who both supported the Reform Bill, will be returned. In the eity of Cork, Colonel Jonathan Peel and Major __- LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 9, 1831. to put one other interrogation arising out of the fast. Will the Hon. Baronet oppose any attempt , o raise that qualification above 101.?—(Cheers.) Sir G. SKIPWITH—I shall support the 101. franchise, Mr. Parkes.—(Great cheering.) Mr. PARKE 4 said he now came to the second part of the interrogatories, economy and retrench ment. Has the Hon. Baronet that sense of the pressure of those national hardens, that he will sup port all mot ions for the purpose of reducing the ex penditure of the country, and, more especially, t h e Oivil Ust ?•—(Cheers.)_ Sir G. SKIPWITII—Most certainly : I have every disposition to do so; but to answer for my support of every motion is more than I can pretend to do. Mr. PARKES--The meeting must be aware that he put this question as a general interrogatory only, and he therefore merely asked Sir Grey, would he particularly support economy and retrenchment in the public expenditure ?—(Cheers.) Sir G. SKIPWITH—If I accept a seat in Parlia ment,it is for that express purpose.—(Cheers.) Mr. PARKES—Sir Grey Skipwith having, with his characteristic frankness, most satisfactorily an swered those questions which I have deemed it my duty to put before this meeting, I beg leave to say, he will receive my humble but most cordial sup port. Mr. Parkes then resumed his seat amidst reiterated cheers. The candidates addressed the electors, and a vote of thanks was, after some discussion, voted to Mr. Dugdale, the late representative of the county. The meeting then after three cheers for the King, three for the Queen, three for Mr. Lawley, three for Sir Grey Skipwith, and three times three for the independent electors of Warwickshire, broke up. YORKSHIRE. (Abridged from the Leeds Mercury. ) GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF REFORM. This election has terminated in the undisputed triumph of the reforming candidates. On Friday morning, between five and eight o'clock, a heavy storm of snow—a phenomenon at this period of the year—was experienced; yet it did not appear to have prevented many freeholders from attending at York. The number of persons assembled in the Castle yard was about 12,000 or 14,000; and though large meetings have been seen there, we believe so great a number of freeholders was never congre gated there before. At a few minutes before eleven o'clock, G. H. SEYMOUR, Esq., the county clerk, read the procla mation for silence. Sir EDWARD VAVASOUR, Bart. then rose and proposed Lord Morpeth. • JOAN MARSHALL, Jun., Esq., seconded this no mination. Mr. FAWKES, seconded by Sir G. CAYLEY, pro posed Sir John Johnstone. Mr. 14ImunADuKE WIvILL, and the Hon. and Rev. W. HERBERT, proposed Mr. Ramsden. Finally, Mr. F. CIIOLMELEY, seconded by Mr. RAWSON, nominated the fourth member, Mr. Strick land. The candidates then severally addressed the elec tors, and the speeches being concluded, the HIGH SHERIFF put each candidate separately to the meet ing; and every hand in the yard seemed to be held up for each. The result was received with several rounds of cheers, and much clapping of hands, The Sheriff declared Lord Morpeth, Sr John Johnstone, Mr. Ramsden, and Mr. Strickland, to be duly returned. F. H. FAWKES, Esq., proposed three times three cheers for our patriotic King, which were given with unbounded enthusiasm ; and afterwards the whole meeting sang the national anthem of " God save the King," uncovered, with a heartiness and harmony which, proceeding from so vast a multi tude, had a thrilling arid truly sublime effect. At the instance of Sir George Cayley, three loud cheers were given for his Majesty's Ministers. The Members afterwards briefly returned thanks for the honour conferred upon them. The chairs, or rather thrones, in which the Members were to be chaired, then entered the yard: they were lofty chairs, placed on a broad base ornamented with scrolls, in the manner of an ottoman; the backs of the chairs were profusely adorned with ribands and gold, and also with wreaths of laurel. Of course the whole of these beautiful chairs were of the pure and bright orange colour. They were severally drawn by four fine horses, with postillions dressed in orange. The Members entered them in the order of their return, arid, alter parading the streets of the city, they alighted at Etridge's. After the election, nearly 200 gentlemen dined together in the Fes'ival Concert-room, at Etridge's Hotel, Hawkesworth Fawkes, Esq., in the Chair; and it is scarcely necessary to say that the evening was spent with the greatest hilarity and enthusiasm. with apparent cordiality. The preliminary business having been gone through, the Hon. Newton Fel lowes proposed Lord Ebrington again to their notice, a - s 7 a fit representative for the county of Devon. He cautioned them against being deceived by bit-and hit Reformers. The King had appealed to them, to know whether or not they approved of their late Members' conduct. He (Lord Ebrington) had al ways been a Reformer, and went to the full extent the measure introduced by Ministers. JOHN QUICK, Esq., Seconded the nomination. Sir G. BAMPFYLDE, Bart., proposed Lord J. Russell. Sir HUMPHREY DAVY, in seconding this, was fully confirmed in his own mind that Reform was necessary to the salvation of the country. No other person being proposed, the Sheriff de clared it to be the opinion of the meeting that the Noble Lords were nominated as the representatives of the county of Devon.—(Loud cheering.) Lord EBRINGTON then came forward. The Noble Lord declared that he was an advocate for the Bill, the whole Bill, and noshing but the Bill.—(Cheers.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL now came to the front of the hustings, and was warmly cheered. Had the House of Commons at once rejected it by a majority of the House chosen by the 'people, it would have been plain it was not approved Of, and Ministers must have resigned. On the second reading, however, the majority was so trifling that it could hardly be said to be the ge neral sense of the House, and when they asked to go into a Committee, the House of Commons de cided that they should not, unless fettered by a re solution contrary to all their previous declarations. It was, therefore, apparent, that the House would not admit the Bill fairly, and no good could have been expected from their further debates. The Ministers, therefore, thought it best at once to ad vise his Majesty to refer to the sense of his people whether their opmions were in accordance with the opinion given by their representatives. He again thanked diem for the honour they had conferred upon him.—(Loud and continued cheering.) The Court was then adjourned to Tuesday next, to proceed to the election. D 0 RCHE S TER, 31.4 y 6. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) We have this instant (half-past three o'clock) re turned from the nomination : such a sight, and such enthusiasm, such unanimity and spirit, were never before witnessed in this county. I have only time, as the post goes at four, to state that Mr. Bankes, -knowing the entire feeling and sense of the county to be so decidedly against him, and that his cause is hopeless in every way, his agents have had re course to the disgraceful expedient of engaging a number of hired ruffians, armed with bludgeons, who attacked, indiscriminately, the persons around them, and wounded and otherwise ill-treated several.— The Hon. Mr. i' , ..sonhy, the M.P. for Poole, and Captain Granby Calcrui - i, a gentleman from Weymouth, whose name we do no,: L., when riding quietly past Mr. Bankes's inn, in Dorchester, towards Mr. Calcraft's Committee-room, were stopped by these ruffians, their horses and them selves struck, and they were obliged to retire. Mr. Ponsottby afterwards, in the most spirited way, charged through them, and was followed by Capt. Calcraft and their other friend. Captain balcraft had his hat struck off and cut through by a blow of a bludgeon, but was luckily not hurt. An investi gation is on toot, which, we trust, will satisfactorily trace the engagement of those ruffians (mostly paupers and smugglers) to a known agent of Mr. Bankes, of infamous character ; if so, his cause is worse than hopeless. HEREFORD, 31er 7. I deem it an act of duty to the reforming public generally, to send you a copy of a letter which was on Monday last sent by an anti•reforming gentleman to one of his tenants. You will perceive that the proud Duke of Newcastle is not the only man who insults the independence of Englishmen by endea vouring to force their fellow-countrymen to pay the uttermost farthing of rent, arid also to think and act as commanded by these modern Neros. You should know that Mr. Adams is a staunch reformer, and has supported the cause by exerting himself to insure the return of Sir Robert Price, Bart., and Kedgwin Hoskins, Esq., as representa tives of this county. Mr. Adams's landlord, W. C. Hayton, Esq., is a Magistrate, and a staunch sup porter of our Ex-Member, Sir J. G. Cottervll, Barr, the late representative of the High Church and Ultra-Tory parties of this county. The i n d e ., pendent men of Herefordshire having simultaneously risen, and with unequivocal voice told Sir J. G . Cotterell that, however they might respect him as a privat e individu a l, th e y cannot falsify their political opinions by a g a in electing him as their representa tive, Sir John, with very good generalship, retired from the hopeless contest. This defeat, peaceful as it is g lorio u s, h a s made the proud-speaking Tories " bang their nether lip." In the anger of disap pointment, Mr. Hayton addressed his letter to Mr. Adams, who returned the rent to the morrified landlord. It may be as well to intimate that the dis loyal gentlemen of Herefordshire would consult the'r real interests by not following the example of Mr. W. C. Ha}ton. (cory.) " Mr. Adams,—Now the election mania is over, and you will by this time have arrived to your more saw,. senses, I will thank you to pay the whole of n - iy rent, up to and including the Candlemas rent, on or before the 14 t h inst., a s I see no reason why I should oblige to any way those persons who will treat me with ingratitude and dis respect. I wish your darling Reform Bill may work i n the way it is expected ; but I am sadly mistaken if those wiseacres who have been so trot-headed in support of it will not live to rue the slay of its commencement. " I am, your's, &c. " Moreton-court, May 2. " WM. C. HAYTON." Directed to John Adams, New-house, Marden. WORCESTER SHIRE.

It is a favourable omen to the eventful success of .Foley and Lygon, that the two first votes were in their favour, and that the second was given by our worthy townsman, Mr. Rowlinson. We believe that on Monday and Tuesday 500 voters will be sent d o wn from Birmingham and the neighbourhood, in NOR THAMP T 0 N SHIRE. On Wednesday last, only Lord Althorp and Mr. Cartwright were put in nomination for the repre sentation of the county. in the course of Thurs day, however, bills were posted in various parts of the town, and speeches spoken from the balconies of one or two of the inns, calling on the free holders to give their support to Lord Milton. On Friday a County Court was holden at the County hall, for the purpose of proceeding to the election. Mr. THORNTON proposed W. R. Cartwright, Esq., as a fit and proper person to represent the county. • Mr. SAWBRIDGE seconded the nomination. Sir W. WAKE then proposed Lord Althorp, and was seconded by Mr. Bouverie. Mr. HILL next rose and said, I propose Lord "Viscount Milton as a fit and proper person to repre sent this county in Parliament, Mr. LUCAS seconded the nomination. Mr. HUNGERFORD then begged leave to propose Sir Charles Knightley, and was seconded by Major Cartwright. A show of hands being called, the SHERIFF de clared the numbers to be in favour of Lords Althorp and Milton. The HIGH SIIERiFF then announced that by the consent of the candidates the meeting would be ad journed to eleven o'clock the following day. Parties of voters in the interest of the Reforming candidates are continually arriving, and no doubt is entertained, in spite of the exertions made in favour of Cartwright and Knightley, that the cause of the Anti-Reformers will flourish no better here than it has done elsewhere, DEVON COUNTY.—EXETER, MAY 7. The nomination for this county took place yes terday. The city presented a very different ap pearance to what it did at the last election, and until ten o'clock no one would have supposed that any thing of an uncommon nature was about to take place.'oonafter that hour, however, a number of freeholders entered, preceded by a band of music and different flags. They called at the New Lon don Inn for Lord Ebrington and Lord John Russell, and then repaired to the hustings. Shortly before twelve o'clock we should think there were about from 5,000 to 7,000 persons assembled in the Castle yard, but there seemed a great flatness about the whole. Precisely at twelve o'clock the Sheriff ap peared upon the hustings, accompanied by Sir T. Adam!, the late Member. They were received with cheers, as had been Lords Ebrington and Russell, who had arrived some time previously. Both the. Noble Lords and their friends greeted Sir Thomas STAFFORD, FRIDAY..--The chairing of the two county members (E. J. Lyttleton, Esq., and Sir J. Wrottesky) has just taken place. There was no opposition, although at the nomination on Monday the Rev. Mr. Broughton (a parson, of course, must be the man) threatened to bring forward an anti•reformer. This intimation was so indig nsntly received, that the Rev. upholder of antiquated abuses was absolutely hooted on the hustings. The clergy generally here are opposed to the measure, and it is amus ing to mark the longitude and wofulness of their visages, when all are smiling and cheering around them. Of the ten members sent from the county of Stafford, seven are reformers, staunch and true. The recreant three are, Sir R. Peel, for Tamworth ; E. Peel, and an unknown non descript of the name of Millar, for Newcastle-under-Lyme. TRURO.-The election for this borough commenced on Tuesday, May, 3, when Mr. W. Tooke and Mr. Hum phry Willyams, the popular candidates, were met at the entrance of the town by an immense concourse of people, who, taking out the horses, dragged the carriage into the town. Lord Encombe and Mr. Peach were nominated on behalf of the lordly patron, and supported by ten indivi duals denominated capital burgesses, and most of them non resident ; while Mr. Tooke and Mr. Willyams were pro posed on behalf of the resident householders, and had as many hundred voices in their favour ; these, after a day's poll, were rejected by the mayor, under the advice of Lord Falmouth's solicitor, who acted as assessor. WARWICK, MAY 6.—At the county nomination on Wednesday. Mr. Lawley and Sir Gray Skipwith were proposed, and will be returned without opposition. If yon recollect, Sir Gray moved the address at our grand county meeting ; and he is, without exception, the most popular man in the county. So we have got rid of good old Tory Dugdale ; and, to the honour of Warwickshire, none but reformers will represent us. SOUTHAMPTON, MAY 6.—This morning it was pretty well ascertained that Mr. Hoy was aground ; in conse quence the true reformers were on the qui vine, and at half-past three o'clock Mr. Hoy went to Mr. Atherley and told him that he had redeemed his pledge, as he had polled his last voter. Therefore Southampton has redemed its character, as well as the county, by returning for the town A. Atherley, Esq., and J. S. Penleaze, Esq., and for the county. Sir James Macdonald, Bart., and C. S. Lefevre, Estk, all staunch reformers. kNARESBOROUGH ELECTION.—The election of repre— sentatives for this borough took place on Tuesday. The late members, Lord Waterpark and Sir James Macintosh, again appeared as candidates in the interest of the Duke of Devonshire. The election took place on Tuesday without opposition. - FALMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The election is over at Pen. ryn ; Mr. Freshfield and Mr. Stuart are returned. The county meeting, which will be held at Bodmin to-day, will be the most numerous for many years past. CUMBERLAND (COUNTY), MAY s.—Sir J. R. Graham, Bart., Lord Viscount Lowther, and William almire, Esq., ere nominated candidates; but Lo polling up to the departure of the post. Cricklade election commenced on Thursday last. Can didates, Mr. Calley, on Mr. Pitt's, the late Member's (or anti-reform) interest; Robert Gordon, Esq., late a Mem ber for the borough; and the Hon. Philip Pleydell Bou verie, brother of the Earl of Radnor. The two latter gentlemen are pledged to support Ministers on the Reform question. A sharp contest is expected, and the friends of Reform, although in a small minority, are yet very con fident of ultimate success. We have just acquired the Ea tisfac tory information that Mr. Gordon, the anti-reform candidate, has retired fron► the contest for Somersetshire, and that Mr. Gore Lang ton and Mr. Sandford, both Reformers, have been re turned without opposition. POLAND. Extract of a letter from Siedlec of the 23d of April :—On the 16th, 17th, and 18th of April, Lieutenaet-General Baron Von Kreutz totally de feated the corps commanded by General Sierawski. - fe' i s General having crossed the Vistula at Jozelow with fourteen battalions of infantry, four regiments of cavalry, and ten cannon, marched towards Belayce, and came as far as the - ..!!lage of Sterzeskowice, General Kreutz immediately collec:ed at Czernion his detachment, consisting of six battalions of infan try and twenty-two squadrons of cavalry, anti marched forward. At Sterzeskowice the troops of both parties met, and they fought obstinately till the evening. The enemy lost their position and re treated to Wronow. On the 17th, early in the morning, the rebels assumed the offensive, and an obstinate engagement commenced, and continued through the day, in which the most brilliant actions were performed. All the troops, especially the brigade of General Murajeff, which was detached from the 6th corps, covered themselves with glory, attacking the enemy at the point of the bayonet,and driving them back at every point. The Poles, every where defeated, retired in great haste to Opole. General Sierawski, finding himself thus cut off from Jozelow without any hopes of crossing the Vistula at Kamien, where the passage is easy, and the open country exposing him to a total defeat, and expecting support from General Pac, who seas to proceed towards Pulawy, marched towards Kazi miez, which offered the advantage of ground inter sected by numerous rocks and woody valleys, the entrances to which were defended by numerous abattis: General Kreutz, who arrived very late at Opole, gave his troops only some hours rest. The van-guard followed the main road; he himself marched in the night by the way of Welagi, in order to hinder the junction of the new column expected on the right bank of the Vistula. General Count Tolstoi overtook the rear-guard at Kartschimska, and attacked it vigorously. On the approach of General Kreutz, the enemy again attempted to force the passage of Pulawy, and made an attack on the road to Wilegi. In order to draw him away from Kazimiez, our troops retired a little, while General Dellingbourne, turning the enemy's left flank, cut off his retreat. The Quarter-Maste:-General Prit twi tz, in spite of the enemy's tire, and the difficulties of the ground, succeeded in erecting a battery, which commanded the enemy's position, and under its pro tection our infantry, charging with the bayonet, carried all the eminences. On the other aide, Major-General Pashkew, at the head of the King of Wurtemburg's regiment of Chasseurs, attacked and dispersed an enemy's battalion, which was in a woody valley, then attacked a second, and en tirely destroyed it. Meantime General Murajeff I had succeeded in ascending the heights, arid had occupied the town. The defeat was now complete; the Poles threw away their urns, and attempted to swim across the Vistula; but all those who ventured to make this attempt perts!ied in the waves. The artillery, and part of the cavalry, had been embarked the preceding evening. Two can non, that remained behind, were thrown into the Vistula. All the troops OR the right batik were either cut to pieces, or dispersed in the forests. Four superior officers, viz. Lieutenant-Colonel Krzesimowski, Major Sakowski, Major Count Wiele horski, the hope of his party, and Major Kowicki, commanding the second regiment of Hulans of San domir, with fifty-two officers of inferior rank, and two thousand soldiers, are made prisoners. Between three and four theesand muskets, and a quantity of baggage, were found in the field. Sierawski, who was wounded in the arm, could not find an oppor tunity to embark till he got to Golomb. Accord ing to the statements of the prisoners, the enemy's loss is at least 6,000 men ; on our side we have to lament 300 of our brave men hors de combat. General Kreutz bestows the highest commendation on the General, Officers, and troops. The latter had during three days continued fighting with the greatest zeal, valour, and perseverance, sad matched 60 versts (40 miles), hardly allowing themselves time to take refreshments. After the victory, Gen. Kreutz was - preparing to look for the division of General Pac, and to attack it wherever he might find it. General Gustenweig had orders to second him. On the 21st, Gen. Manderstern, stationed at Sturziel, undertook a reconnoissance with the Cossacks;L ub i sk i R h e Regiment i n t i n e n n k t o a f n H enemy'su s ars, piquet,2 0 that the sth Polish regiment of trZe a l ched Kuflew, on the other side o andattack to took 0 1 it, threw . t i h x r it d isorder, dpe privates t l e l s e d pr s i e so v n er e a r l s. me A n, officersit.ondd
