I atn happy to say, that this place is in a fair way of retriev- Lag its honour, and ranking amongst those places that have already returned Members pledged to support the King and the Government. The election for the borough com menced this day, when Owen Williams, Esq., T. P. Williams, Esi., and Colonel Clayton, were put in nomi nation, Mr. Owen Williams was absent in consequence of dangerous indisposition, and it is rumoured that he can not survive. Mr. T. P.

At th close of the poll the numbers stood as fo:lows : Colonel Clayton 52 Owen Williams 3'2 _ T. P. Williams 29 The numbers were announced amidst the most deafen leg sh.uts of applause. The Anti-Reformers sent over to Wycombe this morn. leg for fifty additional bludgeon men, but failed in their opposition. BURNHAM, BUCKS, MAY 4. (FRO3I A CORRESPONDENT.) A meeting of the freeholders took place here to day, and in spite of the interference of a Noble Lord, a relative of the Marquis of Chandos, it was unanimously resolved to proceed to Aylesbury at their own expense, and vote for Smith anti Grenfell, the Reform Candidates for the county, in opposition to the 111trquis of Chandos, the Anti-Refor trier, Messrs. Smith and Grenfell have been received in every part of the county in the most flittering manner, and from the promises of support but little fear is enter tained of their ultimate success, although the agents and partizans of the Marquis of Chandos are using the most strenuous exertions to secure his return. COVENTRY, MAY 4. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The poll closed to-day at about two o'clock, Mr. Fyler Aot being able to bring up one vote within the hour. The reformers having nothing in this respect to thank him for; if he could have protr Icted it he doubtless would. The impression his conduct has made in thus keeping the town to confusion will doubtless be in the remembrance of the freemen, and operate as a powerful means of his exclusion if he should have the folly to make another attempt to gain the suffrages of the electors. Thus terminates a struggle in this city in which the friends- of constitutional etuedom have obtained a signal victory, which has en sured their success in future contests. The chairing will be to-morrow. At the conclusion the numbers were, for— Ellice 1,663 Bulwer Fyler WARWICK, MAY 4. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The electors of Warwick have set a.gtorious example to England. Notwithstanding the immense influence of Lord Warwick, Sir Charles Greville has been beaten, and one of the most desperate struggles of the boroughmongrrs has been met by the determined efforts of the Reformers, and Warwick has gained its liberty. No longer will un due influence prevail in this borough. For the future the people will vote for themselves, and not be biassed by the Castle interest. It is a glorious day for Warwick. The first attempt that has been made to render Warwick inde pendent has succeeded, and two Reform Members have been returned. HALF-PAST NINE.-CLOSE OF THE POLL. Tomes 698 King Greville WARWICK COUNTY. This day our old Member, Mr. Lawley (who voted for the Bill), and Sir Gray Skipwith, Bart., a highly respect able county man, and many years Chairman of the Quar ter sessions, have been nominated. Mr. PARKES put to Sir Gray tl , e usual question now demanded, viz. : —Whether he would vote fur the A. and B. schedules, the 101. franchise, and economy and retrench hunt. All of which he promised cordially to support. There is no other candidate, and the election is fixed for Tuesday next. Nine cheers were given fur the independ ent electors of Warwick. COUNTY OF HUNTINGDON. (FROM A CORRESPONDEN7.) There will be a spirited opposition in this county to the late Members. Lords Mandeville and Strathaven, the former of whom voted directly against Lord John Rus sin Reform Bill, and the la.ter, although having voted for it, is not considered a sincere Reformer. J. B Rooper, Erq. has started for the county on the independent interest, asd having pledged himself to sup• Port the Bill, is exceedingly popular. No ireparations have yet been made by either party. The come. 4 is expected to be very severe. Mr. Rooper commenced his canvass yesterday, and has been very successful. Thus the hopes of the Anti- Reformers, of the moderate Reformers, of walking over th e course will be disappointed. BRIDUENOR ni, MAY 4. (FROM A C ORRESPONDENT.) FOUR O'CLOCK, r.3l.—Yesterday two Reform Members for the " Bill, and nothing but the Bill," were returned for this borough, where Mr. Thomas Whitmore and his family have had the patronage, upon Tory principles, for near a century. W. W. Whitmore, Esq. and J. Foster, Esq. are returned. The inhabitants have done their duty, and nobly re loaded to the call of a patriot Kinr. BARNSTAPLE, MAY 2.

Mr. Tudor, the Anti-reform can didate, is thrown out. I have only time to say Mr. Chi chester is a decided reformer, and returned on Reform principles. Mr. Hodgson, the corporation candidate, was not present, but his proposer and seconder declared him a friend to Reform. At the close of the poll the numbers were, Hodgson Chichester (a Naval Officer) Tudor Your constant Reader, A FRIEND TO REFORM. LEICESTER BOROUGH ELECTION. TO THEEDITOR OF THE SUN. - - magnanimity and determination on the part of the people to return Members pledged to the Bill, the Whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill, has won a most signal victory over the notorious boroughmongering Cor poration of this town : they, after traversing London for a week in search of a candidate, at the eleventh hour, ac cidentally met with a willing tool, in the person of Mr, Serjeant Taddy, who, it is understood, left London on Saturday last, and arrived early on Monday morning. The Learned Serjeant attempted in the course of the day to state to the people his political creed ; but such were their Misgivings and hatred of the body corporate, who have so long sanctioned and encouraged an uniform system of op pression and confiscation of the people's voice, that no en treaty could for one moment obtain the Serjeant a silent hearing. The yells and cries of the people were so tre— 'tendons that the Serjeant found himself compelled to re treat from the window, and retire to his abode, thankful for his escape with a whole skin. At the nomination, which took place yesterday at the Town -hall, the people were equally vociferous and cla trorous against any candidate opposed to the Bill. After the nomination, preparations were immediately made by the return ng Officer to erect hustings, prepara tory to the commencement of the " tug of war," which Were completed this morning ; but so resolute were the people in the cause, that the Corporation found, by a single day's unsuccessful canvass, that the talisman of their Power had deserted them, and their cause was teo malig 'rant to justify their coming to the poll, and they wisely abandoned such intention. The borough has nobly done its duty to our patriotic King, his Ministers, and their country. The county Las still the battle to fight, and, fear not, it will be squally determined in contesting the ground inch by inch against any Anti-Reformer who may dare to show him self in the field—it matters not whether backed by Ducal or Patrician influence—the people will triumph. It is generally understood that Mr. Phillips, of Garendon- Park, win is brother of the Under-Secretary of State, and once represented the county in Parliament, and is a gentleman possessing high qualifications as a senator, com bined with the most amiable qualities as a man, will be ']leagued with that known, courageou., talented, and un daunted advocate of the people's rights, Mr. 0. Cive, and put in nomination. The success of men endowed with such undoubted pretensions to represent the county la beyond a question. The men of Leicester ray to their countrymen " Go Ye, and do likewise." skater, May 4. OXFORD, MAY 4. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. was present this day at the nomination of Lord Norreys, Mr. Harcourt, and Major Weyland, the candi dates for the representation of Oxfordshire, and a non3i nation it was in the strictest sense of the word. Not a word of importance was allowed to be heard. The " con fusion of tongues," I am sure, n”ver had a better coun terpart. The earlier proceedings of the morning gave evidence that the Ultra-Tories bad determined to resist the Reformers' attack upon their strong hold. Unusual efforts were made to secure an attendance, and when I went into the hall I half imagined I had dropped into a meeting of fox-hunters or jockeys. Every man was spurred, and had his horse-whip. It was plain that the country had been swept, and evidence of the sweeping was before me —the muster-roll had been called. Lord Norreys came in first, and his muddy-hooted (do not print muddy-headed) partizans raised a shout which met only the response of his hired followers. His Lordship, who is a mere lad in ap pearance and age, came in, I looked for some intellectual expression in his face, that would justify a county like Oxfordshire in choosing so very young a representative— hut a more unpromising youth I never set eyes on. Major Weyland came next, and was (merely from his being a reformer I believe) very warmly received. Last came Mr. Harcourt, and the shouting and clapping of hinds (which, by-the-bye, in election matters is a strong token of appro bation, and usually from those who will not shout) was long and loud. A Mr. Simeon, who has made himself remarkable for prognosticating that the Reform Bill will reduce rents 25 or 30 per cent., and therefore ruin land lords—and therefore ruin tenants—and therefore ruin tradesmen—and therefore ruin workmen—and therefore ruin us all—and all this because rotten boroughs will be done away with, was selected to propose Lerd Norreys. A better choice would, doubtless, have met a better re ception; but the absurdities this gentleman had indulged in (and in print too)—not forgetting his representing that the London Press was in the conspiracy against the Con stitution, were so outrageous that every reasonable crea ture dreaded the infliction before him, when Mr. Simeon got up to speak. Could human patience have borne a prosy three hours' tirade against the Press—political economists—and an equally tedious proof of the benefits of boroughmongering ? It was too much—and as if to rival it, Lord Norreys's seconder began by asking if they wished to see the Constitution overthrown, and the House of Commons filled by Roman Catholics! ! ! Common sense revolts at such nonsense. But the Ultras had their revenge, for they resolutely shut their ears, and opened t heirmouths.against every sound constitutional opinion that might have been presented to them. Clamour and noise --noise and clamour—were all the arguments they em ployed, and thus the busines of the day was limited to the nomination of the candidates. Lord Norreys, as I said before, is a mere youth. His first effort in the House was a complaint that the public business " came between the wind and his nobility." He was (Lord have mercy upon us, what things—or no things, as Lord Londonderry has it, Lords are) detained three houri before he could present a Reform petition ; No doubt he wished to get rid of the odious thing ! Dreadful! dreadful ! !—and he thinks the country does not wish for reduction of taxes, nor for Reform ! ! ! The other candidates are enlightened advocates of Reform, and I am happy to say had the support of all the sensible and disinterested in this quarter. Mr. Harcourt is an old Oxonian, and has divinluished himself by literary ac quirenaents and twenty-five years' service of his country in the Senate. Major Weyland is a frank and brave soldier, fir the first time aspiring to a place in the Councils of the nation. Ought the freeholders to hesitate between two such men, and a candidate who has twice voted against Reform, and for every corruption. The shew of hands was decidedly in favour of the Re forming candidates. I am, your's, Mr. Editor, H.

SIR,-It was with great pleasure I observed the name of Viscount Weymouth inserted in your paper for 10/. in the Patriotic Fund advertisement in aid of the great and glorious measure of Beiorm ; this liberal demonstration of his Lordship's feelings, must be highly gratifying to all lovers of their country's rights, and more especially when it is known that his Lordship is the only one of his wealthy and numerous .family who at present advocates the liberties of the people. His father, the Noble Mar quis of Bath, is too well known as a rank Tory, and a strong opposer to any measure likely to give further liberties to the oppressed, the enslaved, though generous, brave, and warm-he irted Englishmen. The benevolence and patriotic feelings of his son, Lord Weymouth, have endeared him to all the poor and oppressed people of Sid mouth, and in their hearts he will ever find that consola tion that none but truly liberal and generous minds can obtain. I am Sir, your ob.dirnt Servant. A LOVER OF MY KING, AND MAY HE LONG LIVE TO REIGN OVER US. IPSWiCH, MAY 4. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sitt,—The contest is over here., and the two candi dates for Reform, Messrs. Morrison and Westin, have tri umphed I may say gloriously, for at the close of the poll they commanded a majority of 145, besides having many unpolled votes. The announcement was received with much cheering, and the freedom of the place was immediately granted then]. A similar compliment was also justly paid to our worthy Rec. rder, Mr. Williams, and excited great acclamation. Too much praise cannot he awarded him fir his energetic and impartial conduct on the occasion. The chairing of the new Members has just taken place, amidst an immense concourse of people, with whom one universal feeling prevails. . We cannot in ju4tice withhold our thanks to the com mittee for their indefatigable exertions, and to whom much of the good ()Her and quiet that prevailed is attributable. I remain, Sir, yours, &c. E.

Moved by Dr. CRAWFORD, Resolved, That Mr. Mildmay, in his Conduct towards the other C milidates, at the late election, appears to have acted under the influence of a pledge, which, though sanctioned by usage, this Meeting, as sincere advocates for Reform in Parliament, cannot but condemn. Resolved, That Mr. Mildmay, having now declared, that he has released himself from all pledges which could bind him to uphold any Candidate for the Representation of Winchester, who differs from him in political views, this Meeting is of opinion that he may come before the Elec tors on a future occasion ,with great claims to their sup port, as a uniform advocate in Parliament of liberal public measures.

Onr readers Hill find in another column some ac count of the speeches delivered by those twin-stars, the Castor and Pollux of modern oratory, Messrs. HERRIES and DAWSON, at Harwich, The former of these gentlemen, after lamenting the circumstances under which he addressed his sixteen electors, " which circumstances," as he classically remarked, " were different to what had ever before existed in the whole existence of this great country," went on to comment at length on the nature and principles of the Reform Bill, which was, of course, base, partial, and unconstitutional; swindling, tricking, and jesuitical ; prodigious, atrocious, and diabolical. By it, the country was to go to ruin, the aristocracy to the dogs, and the Church to the Devil. It was a measure, in short, by which " every thing was to be sacrificed and swept away !" Not so, thou most fortunate of clerks, hut vilest of logicians, not so ! The Bill will sacrifice nothing but the unconstitutional perquisites of the boroughmongers ; nothing but that which it would be disgraceful in Ministers to allow longer to remain. " Every thing," Mr. HERRIES, is a comprehensive term; but if you merely apply it to your own and your family's snug pickings out of the public purse, t hen, we say,that the sooner these are swept away, even to the last farthing, the better; and if we had no other motive for advocating the Re form Bill,this alone would determine us to support it to the very best of our ability.• What right, Sir, have you or your family to draw one sixpence from the public purse ? What services can you or they plead in justification of such recompense ? Your father, we be:ieve, was a great warrior .in the city train bands, and distinguished himself in many campaigns at Finsbury, Hounslow, Wimbledon, &c., but we never heard that his country was a gainer by these heroic exertions; and it is really " too bad" for the people to be compelled to pay one man and hi . s de scendants for the " will," when so many thousands, infinitely more deserving, are left unpaid for the " deed." As for yourself, you are a mere cypher in the political world. You may be a great man on 'Change, still greater with a pen stuck behind your ear, in a counting-house ; but as a Statesman, as an orator, you are the feeblest of the feeble—the dullest of the dull—the narrowest-minded of the narrow minded—the quintessence of absurdity—the Cory. phceus of common-place. GOULBURN'S intellect is small, DAWSON'S stinted, but your's is absolutely invisible. You seem sent into the world for the sole purpose of showing with what a limited stock of brains a politician may set up in trade. After BERRIES came Dawsort. This is strictly according to precedent. At all shows, when the clown has left the stage, the mountebank always follows. The Right Hon. Gentleman raved as usual about the servile venal Press, and the infamous trickery of Ministers. The " infuriate populace" too came in for a share of his regard, as if there ever existed, even in the worst of days, in the worst of countries, a populace—nay, even a mob, a gang, a herd, however drunken, ignorant, or ferocious— more infuriate, or more unadulterated in its vulgarity than that which blustered in the House of lords,. within hearing of its Sovereign, on the day of the dissolution When we are told of mobs, we always think of this matchless sample, which combines the pugnacious vivacity of Donny brook Fair with the classic dialect of Billingsgate. One of the chief merits we find in the Reform Bill, is the extinguisher which it throws upon the far thing rush-light intellect of such " things" as HER SUES and DAWSON. It absolutely annihilates them. Wben once it has passed, there will be no more spouting to sixteen electors at Harwich. No more Chancellors of the Exchequer, whose sole claims to that high office are, first, their subserviency ; se condly, their profound ignorance of the first prin ciples of grammar and logic. All these rushlights will be put out. Humbug will be compelled to descend ; talent be invited to rise to its pro per level. The people will be governed by men whom they can trust, not by tricksten, stock jobbers, clerks, and blockheads. Countrymen, remember this, and, at all hazards, persevere in the discharge of your duty. Already you have effected wonders ; but much yet remains to be done. Though the goal is in sight, you are still some distance from it. On then, with speed unabated—with muscles unflagging—with spirit unsubdued. All Europe watches you as you pro ceed, and puts up prayers for your success. We regret much to observe the state of the poll at Cambridge. We regret it, because we feel con vinced that it will go far to lower the high character o f the Church, whose sons are thus avowedly rang ing themselves in the - ranks of a faction, in opposition to the interests of the community. With anguished hearts we predict that the success of Messrs. GouL. BURN and PEEL at Cambridge,Will give a blow to the Protestant Establishment from which it may possibly never recover. People, we fear, will begin to ques tion the expediency of contributing so much, so very much, to the welfare of a church, in which in moments of peril, they have found not supporters, but bitterest foes. But even in the midst of these, our apprehensions, one consolation remains. The Lon don University will now, no doubt, secure its long expected Charter, on the principle that it is at least as worthy as its more fortunate, but less deserving predecessor at Cambridge. By the Express from Paris we have received the Following. : The Posen Gazette of the 20th ult. contains the fol lowing article : " It is said that the Grand Duke Constantine, who at first refused to act against the Poles, has at length accepted the command of a division, in which there are 60,000 Finlanders. On our side we expect in this neighbour hood 60,000 men to arrive towards the end of the month, in order to protect our frontiers. They will form two corps, which, together with a third already at Posen, will be under the command of General Gneisenau." The Nuremberg Correspondent has the following, dated Bucharest, April 1 : " The Russian troops in this principality have received orders to march back again beyond the Pruth. This change in the cantonments is ascribed to the events in Poland. Our town, however, will still have a Russian garrison. This appears to prove the confidence of the Russian Government in the Porte, and serves to refute the reports that the Porte had changed her sentiments to wards Russia. It is certain, however, that Turkey has suspended her payments to Russia." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (From the Times.). 'We have just received by express all the Paris journals of Tuesday, together with a packet of other foreign jour nals, and letters from our private correspondents to the latest date. From our Paris Correspondent we learn, that on Tues day two couriers arrived, one from Warsaw, despatched by the French Consul on the 24th ult., and another from Nienna, with further despatches from Marshal Maison, which were deemed of sufficient importance to induce the French Government to assemble a cabinet council for six o'clock on Tuesday evening. The fresh armaments of Austria have caused some uneasiness at the Court of France ; but the explanations accompanying them are en. tirely of a pacific tendency, and the latest news at the dif ferent embassies in Paris on Tuesday was, that the military demonstrations of the Austrian cabinet did not necessa rily imply any new chance war. The news by the courier from Warsaw had not, accord ing to our private correspondent, transpired in Paris at a late hour on Tuesday. Some persons from this circum stance inferred that it was unfavourable. The glorious efforts of the Poles, it was feared, must at length yield to the greater resources of their implacable foe : still, while such heroism is displayed by a brave people, we must not yield to feelings of despondency, still less of despair. We cannot possibly find room for any extracts from the French Par ers. _ _ FRENCIT FUNDS, PARTS, MAY 2.-Five per Cents , 86f. 90c. 87f. 90c. 87f. 86f. 9 , 1 c. 87f. 84if. 90c.

A mail has arrived from the Brazils, which sail,d the 7th of March, by which Rio Janeiro Papers have been re ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house to the 6th of March. (From the Papers of the 3d of March.) On the 28th inst. arrived at this city the French frigate Herminie, in 49 days from Brest, having on board her Royal Highness the Marchioness ofLoule; her Royal High ness was received with a salute from the English and French squadrons of this city By the American ship Hope, arrived here from Bahia, we have letters from that city to 'the 19th ; the province enjoyed perfect tranquillity, therefore the unpleasant news in our last from that quarter is without foundation. From Montevideo they write that the difficulties they had so long suffered for want of sound circulating medium were going to be remedied, as the Government had adopted a plan proposed by the merchants and captains to withdraw the copper currency. A capital stock in silver, to the adequate amount, was already subscribed for. Both the letters and papers from the mines continue to he occupied with the accounts of the reception of their Im• perial Majesties on their visit. It is stated that a discovery has been made of a rich vein of gold near the city of Puto Pieto, and that about 600 armed men had taken possession of it, but the Governor ordered them to disperse, that the land might be divided, but they having refused, an armed force had been sent to compel them to obedience. Exchange on London, 20i 4. A Decree has been issued by the Council of Para, that all foreigners who arrive in that province shell be obliged to present themselves to the Justice of Peace of the pariah in which they intend to reside ; also that every foreigner, in order to proceed from the capital to the interior, shall be obliged to obtain a passport. THE 7UNDS. We have no arrivals, with the exception of the Brazil mail, which is of little importance at present. The Express from Paris appears to be of a warlike ten dency in regard to the views of Austria. The citizens are much disappointed that our patriot King will not dine with them on the 20th inst. Consols, which left off yesterday at 80 for account, opened at 80k, and are at present 801 i. HALF-PAST ONE. We are exceedingly sorry to state that a letter has arrived in town from Paris, stating that the brave Poles have experienced two defeats by the Russians, and that at the time the account left Warsaw they were making every preparations to receive the Russians with an obstinate re sistance. We hope this intelligence will not be confirmed. The Rio Janeiro Papers state that a prospectus for esta blishing a Banking Company there, for the purpose of assisting the Government of Brazils to recruit their finances, and of securing the punctual payment of divide n d s on th e loans, had been received by the last packet from England. It proposes that a Company should be formed, whose capital was to be one milli on s t er li ng . Consols, which were done in the early part of the morn ing at SOH for the account, have receded to 801. A good deal of stock has been thrown into the market. Consols bOll, THREE O'CLOCK.
