GENTLEMEN, IN compliance with a Requisition presented t o ' I L me, signed by numerous of the most respectable and public-spirited Freeholders, I declare myself a Candidate for the honour of representing my native County in Par liament. Our inestima Me Sovereign has dissolved Parliament with a view to give his People an opportunity of sheaving their ens of the late measure of Reform, brought forward with his Alajesty's sanction, by his liberal and enlightened Ali sisters. Believing, as I do, the decision of this question to be of th e most vital consequence, and that upon that decision de pends whether we shall have a liberal, an economical, and are upright Government, I am, from public grounds alone, determined that on this occasion you shall have an opportunity of answering the voice of your Sovereign --of supporting or opposing his Ministers,—and of re carding your vote for or against the liberties of your Country. I need not tell you that I am a decided supporter of Lord John Russell's Constitutional Reform Bill—an unflinching enemy to wasteful Public Expenditure, and consequent unnecessary Taxation—and a friend to the Agricultural Interest, which the Reform 13ii!, by giving Sixty-seven additional County Members, will essentially promote. The Election is fixed for Thursday next ; and I fear that it will he utterly impossible for me to wait personally upon every Freeholder, which, if there had been time, I should have been proud to have done. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient and faithful servant, • JOHN BONFOY HOOPER Abbott's llipton, May 2, 1831. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY ELECTION. MR. CAVENDISH presents his compli ments to the Members of the Senate residing in London and its neighbourhood, and trusts that those Gen tlemen to whom he has not been able to pay his respects in person, will not impute this apparent want of attenti,in to any negligence on his part, but will believe that it arises solely from the great demand upon his time, caused by the approaching contest, at which he earnestly solicits their prompt and early support. British Coffee-house, Cockspur.street, May CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY ELECTION, MR. CAVENDISH presents his compli ments to the Members of the Senate, and earnestly 'equests his friends to proceed immediately to the Poll. From the numerous promises of assurance of support he has received, be has no doubt that their exertions will frisure ultimate success. From the short time the contest now to last the utmost promptitude will be required to tnable Members of the Semite to record their votes. British Coffee-house, Cockspnr-street, May 4. TO CORRESPONDENTS. The Portobello Advertisement was omitted in consequence of the copy having been mislaid. ttit LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 4, 1831. The elections go on swimmingly. All is as it should be. The boroughmongers are flying in every direction, like the Russians before the victorious poles. They cannot stand their ground an instant. At Newark their defeat has been overwhelming, and h is Grace of NEWCASTLE must henceforth learn to d iscriminate between mean: and tuum—between his awn and the people's rights. At Stamford, Mr. C. TENNvsoN has beaten the Marquis of EXETER in h is strong-hold, despite his pugilistic special consta 6tez, and Messrs. GURNEY and GRANT, at Norwich, have carried the day against all opposition. Two s taunch Reformers have also been returned for the town of Warwick, and the state of the polls at other Places, prove that the cause of Reform is hourly l atticin g the most gigantic and irresistible strides. The election for the county of Surrey commences to -Morrow. Messrs. DENISON and B RISCOE are t he popular Members, and will, must be, r e turned. The enlightened freeholders will do their duty Ptomptly and uncompromisingly. They will follow the independent example set them by Kent, Middle -4; and Sussex. They will need no exhortation ; 110 remonstrance; no stimulus; their own hearts be their best monitor.. By returning Messrs. B RIScoE and DENISON, they will remember that t hey are in truth advancing their own 'individual Interests, for the Reform Bill which these gentlemen ,t end pledged to support, comes home to every man 14 th e community. Our readers will find in another column an in e t Nti n re ort for which we are indebted to the g i rmingham Journal, of a meeting held in that 1 1 %n, For the purpose of expressing their grati 4de an d a dmir a ti on o f hi s M AJESTY ' S magnan i mous : 44 patriotic conduct in dissolving the late Parlia h'eat in person, and appealing to the sense of the r'Ple on the great measure of Parliamentary Re (441."

Many Russian civil officers, r t kied by the approach of Dwernicki in Volhynia, had t L , to Brody. By whic comercial expresses we received her Lf ' : I Y the news, m h re:tched Strasburg by telegraph s itvtrots in Paris on the 17th.

Above 60 witnesses have been examined. accus e d manifest the greatest compsre. They admitted some of the facts laid to their charge, but R t ~ t ;ustify themselves by the circumstances in which they ate ilaced. The High Military Tribunal will decide in the case of Colonel Borremans on Tuesday the 3d of May. We find in a Journal the following letter from the Re 4ent to General Van Halen : " General,—l would have replied sooner to your letter if the 22d instant, had I not been hindered by other af 'airs of much greater importance. You express your sur wise that I should have thought, and that the Council of ‘linisters should have participated in my error, that you were only an honorary General, enjoying a pension for -e s vices pet formed. " This error you say is great, for you would never have weepted such a sinecure, and in support of your assertions you produce documents to prove that your relations, vith the national Government, from the first (lay of its nsta!lation, have been of a snore honourable nature. I have examine' these documents, and I find in them that n the 24th of September, 1830, you were appointed Commander-in-Chief of the active forces of Belgium. That on the 30th of the same month, you were appointed Commander-in-Chief of the military force of South Brabant, which, according to my notion, was restrictin.: the extent of your commend. That the Burgher Guard, :sroperly so called, shall remain under its own chiefs ; this (hen was the withdrawing them from your command. " On the sth of Oct., 1830, you were named Lieuten ant. General, and employed with a salary of 10,000 francs, and the assurance of a pension of 5,000 francs to your widow. •• Lastly, on the 26th of January, you ask to be em ployed, and on the 9th of February you are assmed by the Provisional Government, that considering the relations of Belgium with the neighbouring Powers, the want of a superior officer was not felt. " From all this, General, I concTude that the time of your active service was only tight or nine days—that is to say, from the 24th of September to the sth of October ; and that all your relations with the National Government since that time consist only in an application to be em ployed, which you made on the 26th of January. "According to this, General, my error is very pardonable; however, as you are unemployed, and receive a salary from the Treasury, I reserve to myself the right of employin g you when I shall think it necessary for the good of the service; unless, ictleed, you should still have the inten tion of going to Poland, as you have asked, and I have granted you permission to do. (Signed) " SURLET DE CHOKIER." The General replied, in substance, to the request, on the 27th instant, that in the situation in which he found himself, after having been imprisoned—treated as a cri minal—after having borne a most rigid examination, and seeing that no account is made of these circumstances, it would be improper for him to quit Belgium, and that lie would remain there in presence of the Government, to contemplate as one of the thousandicissitudes of human for tune, the disgrace which the Government throws upon him. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. This week the English arrivals of Corn are again moderate, but there is another very large fleet of foreigners, chiefly with Wheat and Flour. The weather being very seasonable, together with a large quantity of Foreign Wheat for sale, causes extreme dullness in the Wheat trade, and though the factors:appear un willing to take less prices, they will be compelled to do so before they can make sales. In other kinds of Grain there is no varia. tion, but the sales of all are very heavy to-day. ARRIVALS. Wheat. English Irish.. - Foreign Barley. Oats. I Flour.

LIVERPOOL, MAY 9.—The supply of new British Plan tation Sugar is very limited, -yet such is the dull state of the trade that prices have not at all improved. Tl a esti mated sales for the week are 2,000 hhds. and tierces; this afternoon, the demand for low lump continues, and 645. to 645. 6d. is readily obtained. The quantity on hand in very small. There is no alteration in SalTetre. The Cotton Market is steady in price ; few sales reported. Accounts from Algiers to the 16th April state that all was tranquil there, but at Belida and at Coleach some agitation prevails, probably caused by the movement of troops. The new General has sent an expedition of four or five thousand men on Cheffa to the north-east of the mountains of Soutnata. General Bnthezene has sent a steamer to inform the French Government that a Spanish vessel, under the tri coloured flag, and having on board one hundred and fifty one condemned Spaniards, had entered Oran. These un fortunate beings were crammed into a vessel of fifty tons, and in which they could scarcely breathe. Fifty-four of them were condemned for political sentiments: amongst them was a Frenchman, arrested in 1829. THE FUNDS. We have no arrivals of foreign mails as yet, and the ship letters which have come to hand are of an old date ; but we are informed that an express has arrived from Paris, bringing the French Three per Cents. higher, 60f. 25c. ; in consequence of which our Funds have im proved: Consols, which left off yesterday at 79H for the account, opened at the same price, and have got up to 80R- ; French Scrip has also improved.

(From the Quotidienne, May 2 ) VIENNA, APRIL 22.—We have received to•day letters from Lemberg, which announce that General Dwernicki had a battle, in the environs of Tarczyn, with a division commanded by General Rudiger. The Russians were defeated, and lost six pieces of cannon.— Gazette d'Augsburgit. PARIS, MAY 1.-The situation of affairs in general at the present moment are as the Ministers wish ; every thing has the appearance of a pacific calm in the interior ai well as in the exterior. This day, at three o'clock, Louis Philippe received the Diplomatic Corps, and returned an answer to the following purport : " I receive with a lively satisfaction the sentiments of your regard for myself and family, in the name of the Diplomatic Carps, of which you are the organ, and I atn persuaded as well as you of the grand truth, that peace is the foundation of public prosperity, and the solid base of the true happiness of nations. Since my coming to the throne I have neglected nothing to main tain it, and the assurances which you express to me in the name of the Sovereigns you represent, is a new pledge of the continuation of their friendship and good under standing which subsists between us, and I will always en deavour to preserve it for the interest of France and that of Europe." A report prevailed at Hanau, that the moment the affairs of Poland are settled there will be a Congress held in that town, at which will assist the Ministers of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, as well as the Ministers of other So vereigns, members of the Confederation. (FA9sn the Journal du Commerce of Monday.) BROD 7, APRIL 15.—General Dwernicki marches along our frontiers, going against Podolia. Since yesterday there arrive continually Russians who are running away. They write from Toulon, 26th April :—" We have this moment a report that two ships of the line and two frigates have received orders by the telegraph to sail im mediately for Lisbon, to demand satisfaction of Don Miguel."

Friday the 29th instant. Captain Philipps, R.N., op posed John Jones, Esq., the anti-reformer. The popular voice was on the side of the Reformed candidate. The first day pissed before the polling commenced. On Satur day the Sheriffs and Town-clerk, all in the interest of Mr. Jones, after polling a few voters, left the hustings, one after another, leaving the burgesses unpolled, nor will they return the Captain, althoup,ll he had a majority of four before the last Sheriff left the hall. Above one hundred burgesses in the interest of Ciptain Philipps, came to towt , this day, but the Sheriffs will not take their poll. Thu people of England should know these tricks. Captain Philipps will be chaired this evening. Such is the honourable feeling of the populace that they have de. sired Ciptain Philipps not to throw any money during the chairing. - - CARLISLE, M 2. THE B OR 0 U GHIfONGERS AGAIN DE. FEA TED. (rßom A CORRESPONDENT.) SIR,—You will see by the enclosed that we have given the great northern boroughmonger a blow that he cin never recover. Although he has nominated a candidate, and will, no doubt, according to his usual system, proceed to the utmost of his power in offering a factious and vexa tious opposition to the voice of the people of this city, he has not found a man hardy enough to present himself in person in support of his unjust claims. Not a singl e yellow ribbon has been seen in the street to-day. As th, boroughmonger's voters returned from time poll, several of them were struck at by the people, and all hooted and execrated. Lord Lowther has withdrawn from Westmoreland, and offered himself for Cumberland. To oppose him effec tually Sir James Graham and Mr. Blamire have coalesced, and there is not the slightest doubt of their success. We shall in all likelihood have a protracted contest, as it is un derstood Lord Lowther is determined to spare no cost. The Lowther party have put up Mr. Wilson of Cas tenon, as their nominee, in the room of Lord Lowther, for Westmoreland ; and Mr. Crackanthorpe has been brought forward to oppose him. The honest grey coats of Westmoreland are sanguine of success. • (In haste) yours truly. BANBURY, MAY 3. Our Banbury Correspondent, in his communication of yeverday, omitted to mention that the Town Clerk, the agent of the Patrons of the Borough, brought to the hustings and half read the Riot Act, when he discovered his mistake, and found he had forgotten the Act against Bribery and Corruption. It was then liughed at as a mere mistake. It is since learnt that one of the North amptonsh;re troops of Yeomanry, under the command of Thomas Carter, Esq., of Edcut, a violent Anti-Reformer ; an Oxfordshire troop, under the command of Major Bowles, brother-in-law to Mr. Goulhurn, the Ex-Chan cellor of the Exchequer, a pensioner, as clerk to his brother•in-lacy, when Secretary for Ireland ; and two other troops, under the immediate orders of Lord Churchil, an Anti-Reformer, were on their march to wards Banbury. All this goes far to explain why the Riot Act was so ready, while the Act against Bribery and Cor ruption was forgotten. Let the Anti-Reformers beware how they appeal to arms in support of their expiring cause. Can they not be content with its dying a natural death? Will nothing satisfy them but its death by violence? We are happy to learn that the day finished happily; not an insult, after the election, was offered to the opponents of Reform ; nor a pane of glass broken, though the extreme darkness of the evening (the lamps not being lighted at this time of the year) afforded every facility for any un lawful act of this kind. VISIT of the KING and QUEEN to the CITY, The Royal Entertainment Committee commenced the preparations for the reception of their Majesties, imme diately after its re-appoiutment, with its characteristic activity. Several meetings have taken place at the Guildhall, and various improvements upon the former plan have been proposed and adopted. The flooring has been laid down in the hall, and the workmen employed by the contractors have commenced active operations. The Committee immediately entered into engagements with those tradesmen who did every thing so much to the satisfaetion of the members of the Corporation in Novem ber. Mr. Leach, of the London Coffeehouse, is to supply the dinner. He has purchased for the occasion some magnificent china, and an entirely new butlerage. The pate is to be supplied from the Mansion-house and the various Companies of the city, and a brilliant side board will be exhibited behind the throne. It was pressed upon the Committee to surround the Guildhall with a gallery, for the accommodation of the female visiters, according to the arrangement adopted upon the visit of the Prince Regent and the Monarchs after the peace ; but the Committee, with every disposition to make the place worthy of the occasion, we are told ob jected to the project as one of great inconvenience as well as great expence. It will be recollected, too, that at the time of the visits of the Monarchs, ladies were not ad mitted to the ball, and it became a matter of absolute compulsion to give the wives and daughters of the Mem bers of the Corporation an opportunity of witnessing the grand spectacle. Upon the approaching occasion, as tickets are to be issued for the admission of those who would otherwise have so much reason to complain, it is considered unnecessary to incur such increased trouble anil an increased expence of 5,000/. At the bottom of the hall, the great window will ex hibit the star which attracted so much admiration in No vember amongst the public ; but it will blaze between the letters W. and A. the initials of their Majesties. Other improvements will be made in the hall, which will contain a much greater body of light than was to have illuminated the building on the 9th of November. Sir George Smart is to preside over the whole musical department. The gallery over the entrance to the Hall will be filled with first.rate vocal performers, and the new gallery op posite to it will be filled with instrumental performers from the Philharmonic band. All the members of the Royal Entertainment Corn mittee were yesterday assembled in the Hall, fur the pur pose of determining upon a variety of suggested improve ments. It is quite unnecessary to say that the extra ordinary change which has taken place in the political circumstances of the country, and the glorious example set to the country by the city of London, by the una nimity in favour of Reform, have produced an alacrity amongst the Members of the Corporation in preparing to receive the King which never could have been paralleled. It is also unnecessary to say, that the whole will be con. ducted upon the most magnificent and liberal scale. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Moniteur of Sunday.) PARIS. --A telegraphic despatch from Lyons having announced the King of Sardinia's death, the ball which their Majesties intended to give on Tuesday next, at the Palais Royal, will not take place. It is said that the French Government has forwarded despatches to Rome, in which it invokes, with all the au. thority due to its words, the rights of humanity in favour of the persons implicated in the late events that occurred in the Roman State. M. Perier, the son of the President of the Council, left Paris yesterday, as a State messenger, for Rome. A new evening paper, entitled La France, will make its appearance on the 15th inst. We find in its pro spectus the following motto :—" Sun of July, what good has thou done us ?" A Correspondent informs us that the ruffians hired in London to go down to Stamford in support of the no-reform interest were hired by Mr. BAKER, a super intendent of the C. division of Police and Ex. Serjeant Major o f t h e C o ld stream G uards ; that the i r pay is five shillings per day, with meat, drink, and lodging ; that they are living in clover, and have as much wine as they can drink ; and that many of them are " characters well known to the Police ;" to which information our Cor respondent ap pendeth the following piece of advice : " Ladies and Gentlemen of Stamford, take care of your pockets !

SURREY. A numerous and highly respectable meeting of the friends of Mr. Briscoe took place on Monday evening at the Horns' Tavern, Kennington, when the electors of Surrey were addressed with great animation and effect by the Messrs. Hawes, Mr. Hardy, Colonel De Lacy Evans, M. P. for Rye, and several other gentlemen. Whenever Mr. Denison's name was incidentally introduced as the highly respected colleague of Mr. Briscoe, it was, of course, received with loud acclamations, and we may hope that no persons will b e so i n j u di c i ous as to attempt a va i n opposition to the return of the old Members; for vain it would be. That excellent gentleman, Mr. H. Drummond, has, in a published letter (which we regret to see), made a covert attack on Lord Brougham. Another gent!eman, w h o possesses as much property in the county as Air. Drummond, and has Ifeen a good deal known as a magis trate, especially through his battles against the abuses of the licensing system, and who is also known to belong to no political party, took occasion to throw out in his speech en Monday night, the subjoined passage, to counteract the effect of Mr. Drutnmond's insinuation, and to do justice to an illustricus Judge. The meeting seemed greatly pleased when Dr. Edwards uttered the subjoined sen tences :—" Gentlemen, Mr. Briscoe has not disappointed our expectations ; he has even surpassed them, by tile efficient manner in which he has acquitted himself as the zealous and honest supporter of the rights of the people, and of the wishes of the King. What those wishes are, we may readily corect from the high-minded indignation with which our magnanimous Sovereign scattered to the winds the late un worthy Parliament—from the fact that he has selected a Reforming Cabinet for his Ministers, and for the Keeper of the Royal Consrience, as he is officially termed, a noble Lord who is known throughout Europe as the most brilliant genius of the present age, and is yet more dearly known to his fellow-countrymen as the stern, uncompromising guardian of their liberties,—a man whom, throughout all future times, while England has a name, our historians and orators will celebrate as a patriot and a statesman, and widows and orphans will for eta r bless as the great and good Lord Chancellor Brougham, the Reformer of that court which is in an especial manner destined for their protection." GENERAL GAS C 0 YNE AT LIVERP 0 OL. On Sunday last the late representative of Liverpool drove into town in the carriage of Mr. Alderman Leyland, whose guest he had been since his arrival on Thursday afternoon. He was not generally recognized till he reach Castle street, when some of the rabble cheered him, whilst re spectable people hissed the General. He walked from King-street to the Town .hall. He was occasionally booted and applauded on the way ; but when he entered the Town-hall by the Town-clerk's door, the hisses were loud. and completely overpowered the plaudits of his• friends. Mr. Alderman Porter's carriage drew up at the east door of the Town-hall, for the purpose of taking up the General ; but after about ten minutes bad elapsed, it moved round to the west door. The crowd, which had conside rably increased by this time, and which, with the exception of the rabble that immediately surrounded the door, con sisted of the middle classes, followed the movement of th.• carriage that the General might not escape by the west door of the Town-hall. The carriage then returned to its original ground, followed by the spectators, the General, if he had intended it, being thus foiled in his attempt to retreat by the west door. The crowd continued to increase, and now it Hee - High-street. The angle of the Exchange area was also filled; and the News-room was crowded, in the expectation that General Gascoyne would pay it a visit and address the people. At length, after he had been in the Town Hall about half an hour, the General made his appearance. He was instantly assailed by hisses, groans, and exclamations of dislike, his p irtisans, among whom there were very few gentlemen, cheering him as well as they could. We understand that General Gascoyne expressed his readiness to go on 'Change if his friends should deem it advisable. As the General did not visit the " Rialto" we take it for granted that Alder man Porter and Leyland discouraged the enterprise as somewhat perilous. About three o'clock in the afternoon General Gascoyne was honoured with another proof of the disgust which his presence is calculated to excite in the breasts of respectable men. He was recognized in Church street, and hooted by a crowd of individuals who followed him and his escort up Lord-street, expressing their dislike all the way. The General and his friends proceeded through South John-street to the bank in King-street, where he escaped for a time the hootings of the crowd.— We understand that General Gascoyne has expressed his astonishment at the reception which he has received on this occasion,—a reception so unlike the receptions which he used to receive in former times,—not being conscious, he says, of having done any thing to deserve such treatment at the hands of the people of Liverpool.—Liverpool Altion LElCESTER.—Yesterday evening a very numerous meeting of the electors of Leicester, friends of Reform, and supporters of Mr. Ellis and Mr. Evans, the staunch and able Reform candidates, was held at the Paul's Head, Cateatom-street. From the disinterested enthusiasm mani fested by the assembly last night, the return of the popular candidates may be deemed certain. COUNTY or DORSET.—Mr. Calcraft stands for the county, pledging himself to support Ministers, and to bring in a Member for Wareham, of the same principles. The enthusiasm of the county . is surprising. In all the large towns Committees have been formed and subscriptions raised enough to carry up all the voters. If Mr. Bankes again enters the House of Commons, it must be through the portals of Corfe Castle. A large number of the most respectable attornies act gratuitously for Mr. Portman and Mr. Calcraft. BRIDPORM.-The old Members, Mr. Warburton and Sir Horace St. Paul, are this day returned. A spirited attempt to turn out the latter has failed. The 101. note system is still too potent. WErstount.—The Reformers gain a Member here. Mr. Fowell Buxton and Major Weyland, both pledged for the Biil, came in without opposition, together with Mr. Ure and Colonel Gordon, who, of course, sticks to the old system. LYME REGIS.--The town, almost tr, a man, warmly supports Mr. Calcraft for the county. He visits this plate to-morrow, and will have a splendid reception. SCOTLAND.

M 6 6 . 49 1 Ea gave a g ran d di n ner on Monday evening, at hisrerslife:cEeY in Downing street, to their Royal Highnesses the Duke of SUSSEX and Prince LEorotn. Viscount MELBOURNE, Viscount GODERICH, Lord DURHAM, Vis count DuiscAzslio N , the Commissioners from Belgium, an d a select party of th e N o bility and Gentry, were present to meet their Royal Highnesses. The Duke and Duchess of CUMBERLAND left town yes. terday morning for their residence at Kew. Viscount PALltmtszoisr left town on Monday, to attend the election at Cambridge. The Hon. General ALEXANDER Durr and family left town yesterday for Pull, IRELAND. DUBLIN, MAY I.—There is a second Reform candidate for the city of Dublin, and one whose character and pre tensions are of the very first order. Mr. Perrin, the emi nent barrister, was waited upon yesterday by a most re spectable deputation, and yielded to their solicitations to avow himself as a candidate. In less than an hour from that moment the sum of 4,000/. was subscribed to defray the expenses of his election. Mr. T. D. Litouche con tributed 100/. ; Serjeant O'Loghlen, 1001. ; several mem bers of the bar, 50/. each; an attorney. 50/. ; and I have learned that the members of Lord Plunkett's family have subscribed 500/. Mr. O'Connell, whose name appears among the contributors, is about to address a letter to the electors, urging them to use the most strenuous efforts to drect the return of Mr. Perrin and the Lord Mayor. The Reformers are quite sanguine ; if the Tories should be beaten in Dublin, which is their best strongeit hold, the c Luse of boroughmongering and corruption will, indeed, receive a death-blow. The Irish Government have decided on the instant dis missal of several Anti-Reform underlings. No m,in who holds office at the pleasure of the Crown will be permitted to vote against the King's Government. Mr. Crampton is pursuing a most successful canvdss in the University. It is generally supposed that Mr. Lefroy will be turned out. From almost all parts of the country the accounts arc most cheering. The Tories are retiring from the contests; and if, as I confidently anticipate, the Reformers do not suff e r themselves to be weakened by divisions, the victory will be most brilliant and decisive. It is said that although the statute upon which Mr. O'Connell and the other traver•ers were prosecuted has expired, the Attorney-General is determined to call them up for judgment. This would indeed be playing into the hands of the Tories. I have, however, ascertained from the best authority, that there is a recent decision of the twelve Judges, which will prevent the possibility of such a course; so that, so far as those prosecutions are con cerned, the apple of discord cannot be thrown amongst the advocates of Reform. The Attorney-General should not permit his political predilections to influence his official conduct. LIMERICK (Cllv.)-The inhabitants of this city have, at a public meeting, resolved unanimously to support the Right Hon. T. S. Rice (he has been sworn in to the Irish Privy Council); and in the event of any opposition, to subscribe funds, that he may be returned free of expenbe. LIMERICK (COUNTY. )—A third candidate, the Hon. Mr. Southwell (son of Lord Southwell, a Catholic Prer), is, it is said, about to start here. He and the late Meru btas are Reformers ; it is, therefore, folly to have a con test fir a Parliament fated to be so short-lived as the next is likely to be. KERRY.-Both the Fite Members retire, Mr. Browne, who voted for the Bill, following the example of Mr. M. Fitzgerald, who did not. Mr. John O'Connell is the second reformer in the field. CLARE.--Three reformers up—Magin Macnamara, Mr. Maurice O'Connell, and Mr. O'Gorman Mahon. The first-named is likely to be the lowest on the poll. ENNIS.—Mr. Smith O'Brien will be re-elected for his father's borough ; he votes for the Bill. TIPPERARY.—Two candidates are named as coming forward, in addition to the late Members. Mr. Hutchin son, formerly Member, and Mr. Roe, a mew aspirant. All four are reformers. The push will be against Mr. Wyse. CLON3fET.—No contest, as the borough is close. WATERFORD (C1TY).....-.IIIF. Christmas has the folly, it is said, to think of an opposition to Sir John Newport.-- The latter is, however, quite safe. A suggestion has been thrown out by the Dublin Morn.. ing Register, which ought, if possible, to be acted upon, namely, to return Mr. T. Moore to Parliament free of expense for some open place in the country. This paper says that Mr. Moore is desirous to have a seat in Parlia ment,—a thing not hitherto, we believe, suspected by even his most intimate friends. DONEGAL COUNTY.-Sir Edward Hayes, a young Brunswick Baronet, with about as much brains as an empty kettle, fancies he will get in here by persuading the low Orangemen that " the Papists are coming to cut their throats," but the day for such things to have effect has passed away. MEATII.—A relative of Lord Langford is about to stand for this county on the interest (not of Lord, but) of Lady Langford, who is not a Reformer. CAVAN.—Mr. John Young, son of the defeated candi- date of the last election, is in the field here ; he is a Brunswicker, Orangeman, and anti-reformer. He op poses Mr. Saunderson. _ WESTMEATII.—Mr. Taite has declined the call of the freeholders to come forward and oppose the anti-reformer, Colonel Rochfort ; but Mr. Percy Nugent has announced himself, and, from his popularity and family influence, will no doubt succeed. MEATH.—Mr. H. Grattan has announced himself. Thus there are four Reformers in the fie d. YOUGHALL, MALLAS, AND KINSALE.—.The three bo roughs will re-elect their late Member, who voted for the Bill. CORK (CITY.)—The anti-refornwrs of Cork have met, and have unanimously resolved to put Colonel Peel in no mination for that city. The other candidates are Mr. Callaghan, Sir W. Chatterton, and the Hon. Mr. Boyle. The election commences on next Saturday. KILDARE.—Two Reformers will certainly be returned. CARLOW COUNTY.)—The candidates have been strictly catechised, and none but true Reformers will Le returned. On Saturday Mr. Spring Rice arrived in Limerick. On Tuesday evening Mr. Hunt was burnt in effigy in Tralee, with all the honours due to a political renegade.-- Tralee Mercury. KING'S THEATRE. A divertisement (La Noyade) which, however, was ho noured by the name of a ballet, and was produced after the opera instead of between the acts, was performed here for the first time last night. There is no tale, no story, nothing but an exhibition of dancing ; but as the dancing was chiefly that of Mademoiselle Tficr.toNes, it could not fail to be successful. On the strength of Rumfa's sing ing a bad opera maintains its ground, and on the attrac • tivencss of Mademoiselle Tnctforif's dancing an insigni ficant divertissement will probably be tolerated. La Noyade opens with a pretty pas de trois, which was well danced by 13Rocartn, CLARA, and LPFEAVRE. A rock in the middle of the scene then vanishes, and discloses TAG Liosi as La Noyade. Of course she at once attracts the admiration of the swain, who, abandoning his two companions, pursues her through a chorus of attendant nymphs, and in his pursuit and her coyness cen'ists the action of the piece. Neptune appears in the midst of this coquetting, and like a respectahie elderly gentleman patiently awaits the termination of it. The dancing at which activity Th an e d .,l ..,,f,,, ii:. able, on account of the superiority this theatre is certainly in too many instances objection strength assume over grace; and the eternal pirouettes seem repeated for the sole purpose of showing that the performer is above the fear of giddiness. These are objec tions to any style of dancing, exhibiting, to say nothing else, a great want of taste in the audience or the per formers ; but the artiste who, in spite of them, wins from all the warmest applause, and makes the spectator forget the violence of the action in the exquisite grace with which it is performed, at once establishes her claim to undoubted superiority. This is the merit of TactroNt, and if this petit ballet does succeed, it will be solely on account of her individual excellence. The house was better attended than might have been expected at this period of political excitement. ' ',,-$ • . .1 ' . it -1 , i; Theme . -- ~,..
