GENERAL ELECTION• B UCKLY GHAM SHIRE. Yesterday was the fourth day of this contest. The polling did not proceed so briskly as on some of the preceding days; nevertheless, there was no lack of bustle and excitement. At about five o'clock it was announced that Mr. Grenfell had retired from the contest ; and the poll booths, which had been slackly attended by voters for the preceding hour, were closed. The SHERIFF having declared the Marquis of Chandos and J. Smith, Esq. duly elected to serve in Parliament, as knights of the shire for Bucks, The Marquis of CHANDOS addressed the electors amidst mingled applause and disappr . obation. He felt proud of the support he had received, and the freeholders who had returned him should always find him ready to supoott the local interests of the county—the interests of the country generally—th e King and Constitution. Mr. J. SMITH next addressed the freeholders, and was extremely well received. This election had been carried on in kindness and good humour by all parties do him the favour to go on to the end in that excellent course, and let not this night be dis graced by any act of violence, intemperance, or out• rage. " Gentlemen, may God bless you all." The Marquis of Chandos was immediately carried round the town in a chair hastily prepared for the purpose. After some delay occasioned by sending for a chair to Wendover, Mr. Smith was also carried round the Market-place in triumph. He was re ceived with most enthusiastic applause. Mr. P. Grenfell viewed the proceedings from a window of his Committee-room, but did not address the electors. AYLESBURY. The exertions of the independent and respect. able voters of this borough have placed Lord Nugent in a triumphant majority, and such a num ber of voters have polled as renders it all hut im possible that the new man should succeed. How ever, the friends of Reform must not relax in their exertions till the field is won and the victory de clared. The poll having been declared, Lord NUGENT said, he had told the electors at the beginning of the struggle, and he now repeated his declaration, because it had been criticised, that he met them with confidence, and his enemies with defiance and contempt. To detail the infamous acts that had bren resorted to against him would be a painful office ; but it was his duty, and at the close of the election he might lay before them a history of those unnatural and corrupt proceedings, as a proof of their own signal triumph, and in order to cover their enemies with disgrace and infamy. The Noble Lord was received with enthusiasm through out his speech. HALF-PAST SEVEN.—A rumour has reached me, w hich, however, I cannot trace to any good autho rity, that Lord Kirkwall has resigned. ES SE X-C HELMSF 0 RD, MA y 9. Tle Blues, it would stem, are determined to die game, and in this Toryish and hitherto parson-go verned county, the expiring s , ruggle of a disap pointed and defeated faction will be a desperate one Seeing that they have no possible chance of success, they have resolved to put the Reformers to as much inconvenience and expence as they can ; and it is reported that they have received a large remit tance from the Charles-street gang to enable them to prolong the contest. But all their efforts will not do; they will only add to the disgrace of their ultimate discomfiture. The freeholders came up to the poll at their own expence, they refuse to accept of any kind of treating; and it is a fact highly cre ditable to the solicitors of Essex, that they have given their able and zealous services to the cause without fee or reward. The contest, is likely to be protracted till the latter end of the week. A great number of parsons came up to-day from various parts of the county, and of course tendered plumpers , for Tyrrll. The poll was open until half-past six o'clock. Mr. WESTERN came forward amidst much ap plause. There was now a great crisis; the question was whether they should have a full, fair, and free representation, or have a boroughmongering repre sentation.—(Cheeis.) lie denied that he had made any coalition. It was the cause which had united in indissoluble bonds those who were determined to rescue the representative system from its present de graded state. Would any one say that it was a per sonal coalition which had driven Sir E. Knatchbull from Kent, Sir Thomas Acland from Devon, Mr. j Palmer from Berkshire, and Mr. Ward from the city ' of London ? No ; it was the spirit which had gone abroad amongst the people of England, and which had made them determine that the cause of Reform should be triumphing. Colonel TyRELL expressed his satisfaction that the contest was catried on with so much good hu mour. He repeated that he had no intention what ever of retiring. He was only fourteen behind his opponents on that day's poll, and if he were asked when this contest would terminate, he would say that, to the best of his opinion, it would not be ttrminated until the last hour of the 15th day. He denied that the people of this country had called out for R-form until the events which had occurred in France and Belgium. Up to that period that which was now described as the ruling passion of the people was as cold as a vestal virgin, and had no more Wood in it than an oyster.—(Laughter.)— There was no man who now said he was for the whole B;ll.—(Cries of " We are all for it," " We must have it.") He was no advocate for the borough mongers, but if there was in future to be no other channel for g etting into the House of Commons than by the popular voice, he thought that a certain number of boroughs should be reserved to be sold publicly by auction, the money to be applied to the exigencies of the State, so as to afford a number of independent Members the means of getting into Parliament, where they might express their un biassed opinions free from the trammels of mobs and democrats. Sir F. AGAR said, that this day was the most glorious one for the great cause of all that had al wady passed. Ire was sure that the contest, so' far from continuing until the 15th di, would be over in a very few days. Mr. HARVEY having been loudly called for, ad. ,aced the freeholders at some length. He was surprised, considering the number of despatches which had been forwarded on Saturday night to the various clergymen throughout the county, to em ploy the pulpit as a place for issuing proclamations in favour of the Tory candidate, that that candidate was at the bottom even of that day's poll.— (Cheers.) —He did not wonder that the clerical army of the faith had stood forward in such a man ner, and in such a cause, to support their own aggrandizement; for one of the best effects which would be sure to follow a Reform. in Parliament, would be a proper reformation of the tithe system. Shortly before nine o'clock, the Court was ad jammed until ten o'clock this morning. COUNTY OF MONMOUTH. The representation of Monmouthshire has hi,. therto been divided between the two houses of Beaufort and Tredegar, but the votes of these nomi wes on the Reform Bill created an almost universal feefigg of dissatisfaction amidst the resident country gentlemen; a county meeting had been held in favour of the Bill, and strong resolutions were passed thereon, but when it wag ascertained that Lord tUrranville Somerset would not support the prayer of petition, arrangements were immediately made to displace his Lordship, in the eve n t o f a tlissolu tioc, and subscriptions to the amount of several thou.i,,,nd pounds were entered into to return a Membe? free of expense; a canvass of the county placed tiny` s u ccess of the Reform candidat e b eyon d of doubt, and the struggle wou ld the possibi: ty been be tween his Lordship and Sir Charles Morgan, but t.B vote of Sir Charles on the ousted Ceveral's motio,l at once settled the question, and the Baronet fi n diftg the fi eld pre occupied, retired; it then became matter of grave deliberation whether a second Reform candidate should be proposed ; but it was determined not to contest the county, parti cularly as the friends of Lord G. Somerset indus triously circulated that his Lordship was a convert to the popular opinion to a very considerable extent. Friday was the day of election, and the two parties exerted themselves to the utmost to procure for their favourite candidate a splendid public entry. Lord G. Somerset made the first appearance, headed by a band and col Our, followed by 117 horse men and 17 conveyances. He was kindly but not warmly received. The popular candidate followed, amidst the enthu siastic cheers of the crowd. To detail this proces sion would fill the columns of an ordinary paper ; it extended two miles and a quarter in length. In the line were 759 horsemen ; 86 carriages and phae tons, including several splendid turn-outs of fours; 50 flags and banners, with every variety of inscrip tion in favour of Reform ; trumpeters at intervals ; three complete bands, besidescountless pedestrians. The party was divided into divisions from the seve ral hundreds of the county, and it has been ascer tained that more than 1,000 freeholders joined in the cavalcade. It entered the town about ten o'clock, and numbers of the freeholders must have left their houses son after midnight. The parties having made the circuit of tha town, and the Shire Hall filled to excess, the ceremony of nomination, &c. took place. After the chairing the freeholders retired to din ner. Twenty inns and public-houses were opened by the friends of Mr. Williams, where nearly 1,800 Reformers dined. The head-quarters was the King's Head hotel, at which house upward of 200 of the wealth and respectability of the county sat down to dinner at four o'clock. There appeared to be a feeling of regret that the streneth of the county had not been tried with the second Reform candidate; but the exhibition of the day will probably have the effect of making the other Member pause before he gives further opposition to a Bill approved of by three-fourths of the present constituency of the county, and by nine-tenths of the unrepresented portion thereof. REPRESENTATION OF CORNWALL. (From the West Briton.) TRURO, APRIL 29. The nomination for the county, as fixed by the High Sheriff, took place at Bodmin yesterday. The assemblage of yeomanry exceeded what was ever before witnessed in Cornwall ; a great proportion of the gentry of the county were also present. The array of the yeomanly of Cornwall was a most im posing sight ; far never, in any county, was a more respectable body of men assembled : their appear ance proved the intense interest they felt in the pre sent cri-is, and how fully the freeholders of Corn wall are prepared to answer to the appeal of their patriot King, and to support the great principles of Reform A small knot of persons, of rather doubt ful appearance, fixed themselves at the corner of the hustings, on the right of the High Sheriff. We have been assured that the greater part of them were hired for the occasion, at half-a-crown a head, to shout for Sir Richard Vyvyan and Lord Valletort ; they wore the colours of the ultra-Tory candidates, and certainly did their best to earn their wages. — The rest of the large space in front of the Assize hall presented one dense mass of heads ; in the hat of each individual appeared a laurel leaf, the em blem assumed by the supporters of the liberal can didates. The vast crowd steadily kept their ground notwithstanding the heavy fall of rain ; about half past two o'clock the weather cleared up. About one o'clock the High Sheriff, accompanied by the candidates and a number of gentlemen, came on the hustings. The cheers on the appearance of Mr. Pendarves 'and Sir C. Lemon were deafening. J. T. CORYTON, Esq., then proposed Sir Richard Vyvyan, and was received with hooting by the vast crowds, which his comparatively few supporters in vain endeavoured to drown by their cheers. The Right Hon. R. P. CAREW seconded the no mination. • J. C. RASHLEIGII, Esq., proposed Mr. Pendarves, and was received with loud cheering, intermingled with hisses from the little knot of Anti-Reformers. Sir W. P. CALL seconded the nomination. F. H. RODD, Esq., proposed Lord Valletort, and was received with a storm of hisses, which the High Sheriff in vain endeavoured tD check. EDWARD COLLINS, Esq , the late High Sheriff, seconded the nomination of the Noble Lord; but his address was interrupted by shouts of disapproba tion;notwithstanding the repeated appeals from the High Sheriff to obtain him a hearing. The Rev. Mr. WALKER, as the oldest friend of Reform in Cornwall, had the honour to propose to them Sir Charles Lemon.—(Vehement applause.) The Hon. Baronet was the sen of a staunch patriot, who had represented the county for so many years.— (Cheers.) Sir Chilies Lemon inherited his father's spirit and principles; he had been a Reformer dur• ing his life, and he had proved his sincerity by sup porting the Reform Bill in the late Parliament.— (Vehement cheering.) E. BULLER, Esq., of Morvel, seconded the nomi nation. Sir IL it. VYVYAN presented himself to the meet ing, and was received by such a storm of disappro bation as is is seldom witnessed. The mingled sounds of groaning, hissing, and cries of " come again this day six months," were almost deafening. Though they now disgraced themselves by the cla mour with which they a'sailed him, the time was not distant when they would do him justice : lse might have been as popular as Mr. Pendarves, if he would have have sacrificed his principh s. Before the Duke of Wellington had gone out of power he (Sir R. Vyvyan) had a communication with a Mem ber of the present Cabinet, who stated to him the outlines of the Bill for Reform with which he fully agreed; that Bill violated no existing right, gave Members to large towns without disfranchising any borough—extended the right of voting for counties to copyholders, and provided for lessening, the ex penses of contested elections. He believed Minis ters did not wish their Bill to pass—and made it violent that it might be rejected. Mr. PENDARYES said the great question now at issue was, Reform or no Reform. From the peti tions he had received from Cornwall, before and after the introduction of the Bill, he believed a great majority of the inhabitants were favourable to it.— (Cries of " We are, we are," and cheers.) The principle of the Bill was to do away with rotten and nomination boroughs, give representatives to large towns, and additional ones to counties; to secure the agricultural as well as the commercial interests, by making property the basis of representation, and giving influence to the resident gentry which they did not possess; and, without injuring any party, to extend the franchise to upwards of 500,000 addi tional individuals in the middle ranks.—(Cheers.) Lord VALLETORT Was received with groans, hisses, and cries of " Off, off." He stated that he opposed the Reform Bill, from a conviction that if carried it would involve the country in ruin ; but he admitted that some Reform must now be granted, and therefore he would No longer oppose a limited measure. Mr. CHARLES LEMON was received with loud and long.continued plaudits. He was asked whether he would not pledge himself to the details of the Re form Bill. He would not pledge himself to the de tails, but lie would do so to the principle ; the do tails might be matter of anangement, but the principle—the disfranchisement of insignificant and nomination boroughs—admitted of no compromise. The HIGH SHERIFF now called for a show of hands : about one hundred were held up for Sir Richard Vyvyan, and the same number for Lord Valletort. The show of hands for Mr. Pendarves and Sie Charles Lemon was immense. The High Sheriff declared that the choice of the freeholders had fallen upon the latter gentlemen. A poll was demanded for Sir R. Vyvyan and Lord Valletort. The announcement was followed by immense cheering. Sir R. VYVYAN said, as allusion had been made to a sum of money it was supposed that be and Lord Valletort had received from a Committee in London, he wished to know if Mr. Pendarves had not re• ceived, or was promised, a sum of money from another Committee ? Mr. PENDARVES said, he had been told by his noble relative, Lord Eliot, that his opponents had clubbed purses, and raised 20,0001. for the contest ; and that if they could not turn him out of the county, they would make him spend money. As to the question asked, he had not received airy money ; but if he was to be borne down by the stock-purse of the aristocracy, he had no doubt he might receive some from the quarter alluded to.—(" Hear, hear," from Sir Richard Vyvyan.) The poll commences at Lostwithiel at ten o'clock on Tuesday morning. MONTGOMERYSHIRE. Thursday the nomination of candidates for Mont gomeryshire took place at Montgomery. The can didates, the Right Hon. C. W. Wynn and Joseph Hayes Lyon, Esq., were escorted into town by v ast numbers of frceholdtr4. Viscount CLIVE nominated Mr. C. W. Wynn, Mr. PUGH seconded the nomination. Mr. OWEN, after a lengthy speech, in which he entered into the question of Reform, concluded with aying—" Let me entreat you, my friends, to re collect that if this Bill be lost, and the Ministry go out, there is an end to your hopes of Reform for many years; therefore, let me beg to propose us a fit person to represent you, Joseph Hayes Lyon, Esq., who will pledge himself to support the king and your rights, and to vote fsr Reform ; and I am confident you will support him."—(Cheers.) Mr. PUGH, of Bryollnward, seconded the no mination. ....... The Right Hon. C. W. W. WYNN then presented hitnself.—The second reading of the Reform Bill was carried by my vote ; had I wished to destroy it, that vote given the other way would have done so; but I felt it to be my duty to amend the Bill, and make it as perfect as it could be. lam willing to support Reform.—(Cheers.) I have always sup ported Reform.—(Laughter.) I have voted for disfranchising. corrupt boroughs. [ have voted for extending the right of election to large towns. I am willing to support the reduction of rotten boroughs, and to give their franchise to some other places ; yet not to take the right away from them altogether, but to form them into districts, like the Welsh boroughs; and whether the Reform Bill be introduced into the next Parliament or not, some such Reform I shall iytroduce; but I am most un willing to deprive any man of a right he already possesses. I will do my best to render the measure of Reform safe, secure, and honourable. Jos. HAYES LYON, Esq.—l present myself as a candidate for the representation of this county, not because of any presumed personal qualifications, but because I have been selected by my friends as a gentleman willing to support Reform according to the Ministerial measure. To do that, gentlemen, I distinctly pledge myself. The HIGH SHERIFF then called for a show of hands, when he declared the greatest number to be in favour of M. Lyon_ The announcement was received with tremendous cheering and confusion; and the polling commenced shortly after. A' OR THALLERT ON, MAY 7. ,Tueiday last being the day appointed for electing two Members of Parliament for Northallerton, the day was ushered in with ringing of bells; but, alas, with no other demonstration of joy. Every face bore an aspect of deep gloom, or betrayed manly in dignation at the approaching farce. Honoured with the company of some ultra Tories, W. S. Lascelles, Esq., and Sir J. P. Beresford, were elected to mis represent in Parliament the borough of Northaller ton. On the morning of the election, the word Reform met the eye, or assailed the ear, at every step. Not a man even could be found to take down the flag, with the word " Reform" upon it, which some one had attached to the ridge of the toll booth during the night. The population were to be seen moving about in crowds, with orange ribands at their breasts, and the drapers' shops were most tastefully decorated with a profusion of orange coloured silks, calicos, ribands, &c. After consider able delay our representatives ventured out. Eight poor fellows, who had been promised a guinea each, and a bottle of wine, raised Sir John and his col league on their shoulders, and held them np to the scorn and ridicule of man, woman, and child. The Northallerton band refused to accompany them, and they were actually led on by an old lame fiddler. The hissing and groaning exceeded any thing of the kind that ever occurred in Northallerton. On their arrival at the inn, from which they usually addressed the populace, the Members left the chairs and dis appeared. When deserted by the reformers, Mr. Lascelles seemed fairly ashamed, and rested his chin on his breast. As for Sir John, he extorted a sort of frantic laugh, which, after all, made him appear the better of the two. A company even c.,uld not at first h obtained to eat the election dinner; and Sir John was seen on a small grey pony canvwsing from door to door for a dinner party. In this, however, he failed, though he easily caused himself to be returned as a Mem ber Gf Parliament. At last Sir John's compli ments were sent to apprentice lads who were taken away from behind the counter, to eat up the dinner which honest men scorned to taste. The beha viour of the 500 operatives from the neighbourhood was beyond all praise. The 'Members surely could not for one moment be put in bodily fear, though surrounded by upwards of 1,500 Euglishmen, who dared to think for themselves. At twelve o'clock our .500 noble-minded neighbours formed themselves into a circle near the toll-booth : their band played " God save the King." Captain Ross, R. N., with his characteristic generosity, supplied them with two barrels of ale, and in an hour the inhabitants - of Northallerton subscribed 3/. or 4/. for their re freshment. At two o'clock they marched out of town in the greatest order, with flags and music, having merely shewn their political sentiments by their presence, without even expressivg a wish to commit any act of indiscretion, though their power was so formidable. The Members presented them with 10/., which they have magnanimously returned. re presentation for the county of Dorset to place__ • was held DORCHESTER, MAY 6.—The nomination of this day. At twelve o'cicck the meeting. at the county hall, and was almos . ad journed to an ancient encampment ca was just without the town. A row of waggons ar ranged for the High Sheriff and the several candi dates, with their friends. The scene was unprece dented, dented, and highly interesting in its character, the assembly being composed of at least 10,000 personae, t edPiaottettitYbtry, arranged in regular order, each company from band k several towns keeping distinct, and having a band of heir own. The Bridport, Pool, Blandford, and Port land voters were the most striking. Mr. Portma n was proposed by M r . Farquharson, and seconded by Mr. D. 0. P. Okeden. Mr. Bankes was pro posed by Mr. Frampton, and seconded by Mr • Hanham. Mr. Calcraft was proposed by Sir W. Oglander, and seconded by Sir John Smith. T he business of the meeting proceeded very amicably for some time, although the assembly seemed deter mine) not to suffer either Mr. Bankes or his friends to be heard. The peace was, however, at length most grievously broken by a band of about 190 ruffians, with " Bankes" in their hats, who appeared to have been hired and armed for the occasion. These made repeated attacks upon the quiet auditors, until the indignation of the company became so much excited as to cause a simultaneous effort by those nearest these ruffians, to drive them from the field, which object, after several most desperate struggles, was accomplished. As soon as peace:i was thus resto re d, t h e H igh Sheriff most /It's"' pronounced the meeting dissolved, and left the hustings ; on which Mr. Calcraft briefly a ddressed the assembled f ree h o ld ers, and shortly afterwards left the ground, as did also Messrs. Portman a nd Bankes—the latter w ith some precipitation. T h us ended one of the proud est d ays which Dorchester has ever yet seems—a me et i ng composed of at least 10,000 persons, out of whom not abeFve 300 or 400, at most, were friendly to Mr. Bankes.— Salisbury Journal. DKNBIGHSHIItE ELECTION.-WREXIIAN, MAY 6. Sir Watkin Williams Wynn has been once more returned for the county ; but .he has only been returned upon a distinct pledge being given by him from the hustings, " that he would vote for such an efficient Reform as would satisfy the county." He at the same time de clared, upon his honour, that he did not vote for General Gascoyne's motion for the purpose of defeating the Bill, and that he did not know, nor believe, that it was made for that purpose. The general opinion now is, that in case the county is not satisfied with his conduct when the Bill is again before the House, he will resign ; and if he does not, the feeling in favour of Reform has now become so strong in this county, that he will not have the slightest chance of success. DUBLIN CITY ELECTION. SECOND DA Y 0 MAY 7. The polling commenced this morning at ten o'clock, and proceeded with great spirit. The Court-house and all the avenues leading to it were crowded almost to suffo cation during the entire day, and the electors in the inte rest of the Lord Mayor and Mr. Perrin were loudly cheered, after registering their suffrages in favour of Re form, while those who voted for the Recorder and Mr. Moore were treated with vociferation§ equally loud, though of a less flattering nature. The polling was much impeded in its progress, by the innumerable frivolous and vexatious objections take❑ by the enemy to the votes of the honest and independent freemen and freeholders who supported their King and Reform. Notwithstand this paltry ruse, which was adopted merely for the pur pose of saving time, and giving to the supporters of cor ruption a respectable appearance on the day's poll, the polling concluded at about five o'clock, and in a short time Mr. Sheriff Halahan announced the poll to stand thus:— For Mr. Perrin 217 For the Lord Mayor - - - 216 For Mr. Moore . . - - 124 For Mr. Recorder 124 Majority in favour Mr. Perth' For the Lord Mayor . - . - 9:2 The announcement was received by the assembled elec tors with the most deafening plaudits, and with every de monstration of enthusiasm in the good cause. Mr. PERRIN came forward, and was loudly cheered. He congratulated the electors on their having achieved so great a triumph as to place the reformers at the head of the poll, with a majority so gratifying as that announced by the returning officer. It was for him (Mr. P.) to an nounce to the electors of Dublin, that the real majority in favour of Reform was 150, as upwards of 60 votes had been recorded to which frivolous objections had been taken, and which were yet to be disposed of before the assessor. The Learned Gentleman concluded a short address, which was loudly cheered throughout, by calling o❑ the electors to rally on Monday to the poll. The Loan MAYOR also returned thanks, and was also enthusiastically greeted. Mr. MoonE presented himself, but could not obtain a hearing, despite of every effort made in his behalf. After several vain attempts he at length withdrew. Mr. Shaw did nut appear at all. 'I he SHERIFFS then adjourned the poll to Monday. The freeholders to a man are voting for Perrin and the Lord Mayor, and the freemen are divided between the four candidates. It is confidently anticipated that Tuesday night will ter minate this contest, by adding another glorious triumph over the faction to those already achieved. UNIVER SjT Y. The result of this election stamps with indelible disgrace the electors, and we turn to it with mingled feelings of disgust and sympathy. The scene was, as is usual on all such occasions, a most uproarious one, so much so that it was only by a threat of reading the Riot Act, and there by making the refractory liable to seven years' transporta tion, that the ferocious violence of the supporters of St. Lefroy, as he is called, could be subdued. We believe the Riot Act was actually read, but in consequence of the confusion and uproar we cannot assert it as a fact. Mr. Lefroy was put in nomination by the VICE-PRO VOST, seconded by Mr. CALLIAN (a Scholar); and Mr. Crampton was proposed by Dr. SADLEIR, and seconded by Mr. BYRNE. Mr. Lefroy addressed the assembly at great length, but when Mr. Crampton came forward he was assailed by every demonstration of opposition. At this period a scene of confusion ensued that baffles description. Sticks were actually engaged, and one Rev. Fellow was most roughly handled and ejected by force from the Hall. At six o'clock the polling cloed, and Mr. Lefroy was declared duly elected, by a majority of eight. On the re sult being known to the townsmen, they assailed the Mem bers of the University indiscriminately with a shower of stones, and with some difficulty a general rencountre was prevented, by forcing the students within the walls of " Alma Mater," and closing the gates, while a party of police dispersed the assembled populace. The friends of the exclusive system, of boroughtnongering, and of cor ruption, consummated their disgrace by drawing their re presentative in his carriage to his residence. We have no doubt there are many sore limbs after the day, but we did not hear of any serious accident. IRELAND. COUNTY REPRESENTATION.

SCOTLAND. COUNTY VOTERS.-The forowing are the numbers of the freeholders in the different counties of Scotland ; it will be seen how small a share they form of those to whom the operation of Lord John Russell's bill would give the fran chise :—Aherdeen, 139 ; Argyle, 114 ; Ayr, 211 ; Banff, 52 ; Berwick, 147 ; Caithness, 46 ; Cromarty, 19 ; Dum barton, 71 ; Dumfries, 82 ; Edinburgh, 173 ; Elgin and Moray, 33 ; Fife, 236 ; Forfar, 120 ; Haddington, 105 ; Inverness, 81 ; Kincardine, 32 ; Kinross, 21 ; Kircud bright, 166 ; Linlithgow, 68 ; Lanark, 221 ; Orkney, 42; Perth, 239 ; Peebles, 46; Renfrew, 143 ; Roxburgh, 149 ; Ross, 82 ; Selkirk, 50 ; Stirling, 132 ; Sutherland, 20 ; and Wigton, 70 ; making a total of 2,963 freeholders who return the 30 Scotch county members, averaging a re presentative to every 93 freeholders. LANAnizsamtc.—ln this county there seems to have existed sotne very fixed design to carry things with a high hand. The yeomanry cavalry, composed in a great part of the immediate adherents of Lord Dauglas, or of the ad herents of the anti-reform freeholders in his interest, have been ordered to assemble at Lanark, two days before the county election. This, we suppose, is preparatory to a repetition of the outrages at the last election ; when the Tory tenantry and connexions marched in from the country, and so occupied the town, as to give the show of popular favour to the unpopular candidate.— Glaspow Chronicle. PROCESSIONS.—The Scotch papers recommended the formation of processions of the inhabitants uf the counties, to come into the shire towns on the days fixed for the elections, in order to show to the freeholders that the inha bitants of Scotland are all favourable to the Reform Bill, and opposed to the present sham representation of that country. The recommendation will be generally acted upon—we hope, peaceably. HOW TO TREAT THE ANTD•REFORIIIE RS•••••AII excellent letter, signed an Old Reformer," appears in the Glas gow Chronicle on the subject of the 13111. It recommends the publication of the names of all who support anti-reform candidate. It proceeds thus:—" This is no time to trifle, when Dukes subscribe 250,0001. to defeat Reform, and prolong the pernicious system of a few lordlings over King and people. The names of the town councils, and of the freeholders in contested places, should be published, that you may instantly form associations of non-consumption against your enemies—you have only to say that the beer of a boroughmonger sours upon your stomach—that his tea is . musty—his soaps st:nks, and his candles burn dim, which would soon show those that are servile in spirit that they cannot with impunity vote against the clear in teresrs and just rights of the people. Only retaliate upon the boroughniongers, and all their aiders and abettors, their ow n conduct to your friend the King—refuse the supplies, —and a dissolution of the conledetacy against reform fol lows of cows .." LINCOLN, MAY 9. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. hasten to inform you that Sir A. W. Ing.lby, Bart., and the Hon. C. A. Pelham, were this day elected Members of Parliament for this large county (and are now being chaired), without opposition, and both are staunch Reformers. A threat was held out that a man of contrary political opinions would be nominated. But no ! an Anti Reformer would not have had the least sup port beyond his personal friends. The feeling hi favour of Reform (to be proposed by Ministers) in this county is most enthusiastic and extensive,—so it is in the city of Lincoln, notwith.tanding an Anti• Reform Member has got in, which was owing more to accident and his good luck, than the choice of either voters or inhabitants of the place. If a third candidate had been in the field soon enough, Colonel Sibthorpe would not have been returned. I am, Sir, your's, faithfully, A CONSTANT READER OF THE SUN NEWSPAPER, OXFORD, MAY 9. 'TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The poll has just closed, and the friends of Re form could not desire a more complete victory than they have gained this day. The most active exertions hive been used in this University and neighbourhood by the Clergy, the Colleges compelling all whom they could use authority over to vote for Lord Norreys (Anti-Reformist), and the country parsons also using every exertion by their pens, and any other methods, fair or foul, to influence any voter to serve Lord Norreys. Many tradesmen in Oxford and servants at Colleges have received intimation from these pious divines, thstunless they voted for my Lord they would never again be employed by them. Per haps no one could have carried his authority to a more arbitrary pitch than a large beaded (not wise beaded) Fellow of Magdalen College, who about a month since sent up an Anti-Reform petition from the neighbourhood of Oxford, which was signed by himself and nine others, parishioners, whom he had compelled to sign it, assuring them that Reform would bring on revolution, and that their property would all be taken from them. This peti tion was presented to the House of Commons with all the form of one of great consequence. This day the election has been carried on with more acrimony than ever remembered by the oldest inhabitant; hundreds of the lowest order of blackguards have paraded the streets the whole day. At the nomination, which took place this morning, warcely a syllable could be heard. The rabble in the pay of Lord Norreys got possession of the Court, and interrupted the proceedings by vociferating " Norreys for ever !" with voices like Stentor. At the close of the poll this evening Mr. Harcourt and Mr. Weyland severally addressed the freeholders from the hustings ; but not a word could be heard of Lord Norreys—he was not allowed to say a sylla.b'e, and in the course of a few minutes such a scene of riot and fighting occur d as seldom is witnessed.

WHITEHAVEIV, 31Ar S. THIRD DAY. (FROM ♦ CORRESPONDENT.) The poll closed this evening at five o'clock. The atli p ' bets were declared as follows: Sir James Graham - . 944 Mr. Blamire 917 Lord Lowther - - - 453 The slow progress of the poll is to he accouated for the frivolous and vexatious objections offered by the age° of Lord Lowther to the voters for the Reform candidates; their object evidently being delay. Sir James Graham , in his speech at the close of the poll, said, " It was no 4 cl..ar that the contest was merely vexatious, and for thl, purpose of putting the freeholders to trouble and expect e; and if it should be continued, he would see what th e y ei oulJ say at Appleby to this. If Cumberland could return foul Reformers, he (Sir J. G.) could not see why Westmore land should not return two." Lord Lowther was absent, having set off to Carlisle tl mot fling ; and a general report prevailed that he w o uld I return. There is no doubt whatever of the success of the Refor% candidates; but the contest may be long and arduous, 9/ his Lordship has given it out that he will poll every WO iu the county. GELDESTON, NORFOLK, MAY 9. TO THE EDIT OR OF THE SUN. Slll,--4 think you will own with rue that Norfolk 1 1 0 done its duty. The county, Norwich, Yarmouth, and Lynn, have all returned Reformers. Thetford and Castl e Rising have elected one Reformer and three Anti-gr formers, making a total of nine out of twelve on the Sicl e of liberty. Our county election was on Friday; it via l also the birth-day of our illustrious representative, 1 41 f' Coke, who, though in his 78th year, looked younger doe this by twenty years. He is, in every sense of the word , a wonder. There was not the shadow of an opposition to him and Sir William Folkes. After the election there was a dinner in the Assembly-rooms, at which Sir Jacob Astley presided. Both at this meeting, and at the Shire' hall in the morning, Mr. Coke expressed his determine' tion to retire from the representation of the county 0 soon as the Reform Bill shall have been carried. The accomplishment of this great measure will, he says, leave him nothing further to wish for; and he will retire with' the satisfaction of having a long life of exertion in the cause of liberty crowned with complete success. Trull this is an enviable lot. If the " conservative" gentry make no better hand i" other places than they have done in Norfolk, I fear the)" will lose both character and money. Precious fools! al they imagine that the freemen of England are to be bough like sheep at a fair, or that the tide of popular opinion to to be stemmed by running the Reform eandid.ites to e% pence. The very measure but recoils on the heads of those who are weak enough, and I will add, wicket enough, to adopt it. Reform we want, and Reform At will have ! T. ULTRA-TORY SPIRIT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. SlR,—Although my own principles are adverse to the measure of Reform proposed by the King's Ministers, yet I am so indignant at a very recent display of Ultra-To' ryism in this town, that I cannot help putting you i n peg' session of the circumstances, that you may, if you please' denounce the conduct of the noble actor. You need not, perhaps, be told that Dorchester is a close borough, in the hands of Lord Shaftesbury and Mr. Robert Williams, th e Birchin-lane banker. Mr. Williams is returned on hi e own interest, and some nominee of Lord Shaftesbdry 011 that of his Lordship. Their election is a thing of course' On Monday last Lord Ashley (his father's nominee) gave his accustomed dinner. I was not present, never dining at election dinners; but what I am going to state actuallY took place; the truth of my relation is irrefragible.' Immediately On the removal of the cloth, his LordshiP gave " The King and the Monarchy," but no che e rs en' sued. The implication deducible from the copulative " and the Monarchy," is obvious—that it was in d a nger of being severed. The " Queen" was next given to silence, but when the health of the Recorder was g ive/ three cheers followed. I call this radicalism in hie' places, and it ought really to be exposed. , Not a pe rsoo present at the dinner but was put to shame; yet set cir' cumstanced were they, that to be silent was thought to be, prudent. I write this in extreme ha s te, in th e midst 01 preparation for the county election, to carry which Mr' Bankes has (so far as appearances go) no chance. Dorchester, May 5. A. B. LIVERPOOL, MAY 7. The deputation from Liverpool who announced to Mr. Denison his election for that town, has re' ceived the following reply, by which it will be per' ceived that it is likely another election will take place there : " Nottingham, May b. "ME DEAR have this moment rece i v ed ti 3B , intelligence, no less astounding than gratifying, containe' in your letter. " The gentlemen who were the hearers of it will tell you that it was put into my hands as I quitted the Couotl f Court in this town, chosen, without opposition, as one the representatives of the county of Nottingham. That announcement of itself will explain to you the utter impossibility of my making any other reply to yea r letter than that, impressed as I ought to be, with this e%' tr tordinary demonstration of kindness on the part of friends at Liverpool, I must still allow its just and proper weight to the'great obligation this morning voluntarily curred in the face of the county of Nottingham. " I must put aside all private feelings and personal C° ll ' sideraions on either pat t, and my decision, formed as Fre' (lily as the_peculiar circumstances of the case will &WO' must be made on public grounds alone. " Believe me, my dear Sir, yours, sincerely, " J. E. DENISON• • - " John Carter, Esq., Liverpool." The joy occasioned by the ejection of Genera l Gascoyne, the Nestor of the Anti-reformers, has been greatly saddened by the hesitation of gr; Denison to accept the honour so liberally conferre d upon him. On Tuesday evening, when success was no longer doubtful, a deputation proceeded to Not' tinghamshire; and on the close of the poll the follow ing day, a more formal deputation left this to coo . ' gratulate him on his return. The news, comPlv mentary as it wad , appears to have somewhat eol_ barrassed him, and the difficulty of coming to a de: cision delayed the answtr beyond all r ea sonab', 6 time, the people here being left without any intelfr Hence from their departure until yesterday mornil It was then made known that Mr. D en i so n ha also been elected on the preceding day for his 'lady, county, and the more ardent am ong hi s f r i en ds fe" chagrined that he had not adhered with more rts°' lution to his promise given here last November.

As er . factory; a Reformer is certain of being returned here in the event of another election, it is very probable that Mr. Denison will be allowed to gratify his own ob' vious wishes, and preserve Nottinghamshire frail the risk of being represented by an anti-reforme r ' Although the prospect of being returned for $ county may have had some influence on Mr. Deli' son when he declined to stand for Liverpool, there is reason to think that he was aPtuated by a senile of neglect, an d t h e d rea d o f expense , w h en he made his decision. A few months since, it is tin' derstootr, he wrote to his quondam friends here' through Mr. Robertson Gladstone, inquiring if the would recommend him to offer himself in the eve n of a speedy dissolution. To this letter no answe r was given. Dreading, it is supposed, the necessiti of another subscription among themselves, they chose to remain silent ; and this disposed Mr. Dr nison to question the extent of their friends ll o Though these gentlemen eithtr remained inactive' or were opposed to the nomination of Mr. Denison' they are now eager to participate in the honour the C results from the victory. Since writing the above, I have seen a request, which is DOW receiving signatures, soliciting M r. Denison to declare in favour of Liverpool.
