A most important public contest is coming on for the county of Cambridge. The representation used to be divided between the Duke of Rutland and the Earl of •Hardwicke. The county turned out the nominee of the latter in 1810, and elected Lord F. G. Osborne. In 1830 Lord Hardwieke coalesced with the independent party, and threw out the nominee of the Duke of Rutland, and expected by that means to get half a Member, but Mr. Adeane supported the Reform Bill and incurred his dis... pleasure. Lord F. G. Osborne, from indisposition, has accepted the Chiltern Hundreds, and his friends have nominated Mr. Townley, a - gentleman resident, and well known for his consistent, liberal, and independent prin ciples. The Duke of Rutland's party and Lord Hard wicke's have determined to bury all former differences, and unite in throwing out a Reformer. These, with the Clergy and Anti-Reform party of the University, who call upon their tenants and tradespeople and ask them whether they support the College or Mr. Townley, form a powerful phalanx for their protege, Captain Yorke. We may also add, that an attempt is made to gull the poor farmers by predicting the repeal of the Corn Bill and their inevitable ruin ; but there is a fine feeling of independence, and in despite of threats and intimidation, and the Charles-street subscription, the Cantata will shew the men of Dorset how they ought to have acted. .IEDBURGH, OCT. 14. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,-It was with mingled emotions of surprise and concern we read in your valuable and spirited Journal that a majority of the House of Lords had the confidence to throw out the Reform Bill, defied our darling Monarch and his advisers, and insulted the understandings of the majority of the people of Britain. I am sensible, Sir, how difficult and how dangerous a task it is at this present moment to touch upon the great political question that has agitated this country and its senatta for many months, without arousing in our bosoms feelings of indignation at the conduct of those individuals whose vote declared all Reform to be unnecessary. Yet considering the dreadful state of Europe—the difficulties and political dangers that appear to rise in dreadful climax above each other, threatening to burst with volcanic force and shake the whole country even to its very founda tion—it surely cannot be improper to make known what appears to be the feeling of a formidable majority of this part of the country on the present vote. It is impossible for my pen to do adequate justice to the sensation that pervaded almost every individual in this loyal burgle on the announcement of the news of the Re form Bid being unceremoniously kicked out. There was no demonstration of angry feeling—uo disposition to riot or break the peace of our beloved Monarch. On the con trary, sorrow was' depicted in every countenance, and in dividuals appeared as if they bad lost their dearest friend. In terms of a most respectably signed requisition, the magistrates and town council (with arse exception of the provost and town clerk, two apostates from the cause ot freedom), called a meeting of the inhabitants, on Thursday evening, at six o'clock, for the purpose of taking into con sideration the propriety of addressing his Majesty at this momentious crisis. Long before the hour fixed numbers had taken their seats in the Town-hall, and shortly after the bells ceased to ring it was crowded to suffocation. That tried friend of the cause of freedom, old Provost Helson, now Dean of Guild, was unanimous ) voted to pre-ide. amidst immense cheering. After several gentlemen had successively addressed the meeting in au eloquent and energetic strain, the address to his Majesty as well as a memorial to Earl Grey and his colleague, were unanimously agreed to, amidst thunders of a r plause. But it would be impossible to paint the scene—indeed the burst of enthusiasm beggars all description when tha venerable old man who possessed the chair rose, and in a manner peculiarly his own proposed four cheers for " our beloved William." In a twinkling young and old sprunc to their feet, and manifested their attachment to the greatest of Monarchs that ever graced a throne by Us , most tremendous buzzas ever witnessed within the walla of the hall. Let the opposers of Reform think of this 'and reflect, that if a at: uggle should take place between them and the Government, aided by a devoted people, the• struggle will not be long or doubtful. No, Sir, they must yield, let their support he what it may, and the Constitu tion must be preserved. And here it must be remarked that the conduct of the provost and town clerk has been any thing but consistent. They attended the first meetings of Reform, and acted with seeming zeal for the cause, but as matters have turned out their language and behaviour was that of arti fice, hypocrisy, and delusion—such absurdities as, these would provoke merriment in a case of leaf. consequence ; "but they protrolie indignation in a case where the interests of our King and country are so deeply concerned. Before concluding I would only ask the enemies of Re form to look into the great cities, the emporium and chit f support of the whole kingdotn. Inquire of the merchant-, the most valuable subjects of the realm, whether trade does not stagnate? Take a view of the country, and ask the farmer and grazier whether they do not severely feel the effect of late administrators ? Ask the laborious ma nufacturer whether be does not suffer grievously for want of employment? In short ask every man of what condi tion soever, who dare speak out, whether he does not labour under some present distress, and under strong ap prehensions of greater? Nay, I wilt venture to say that scarce one of a thousand of those very men who talk and act the most vigourously in public against Reform, who does not in his conscience feel the strongest sentiment of uneasiness at this portentous period, but are compelled to act by the powerful magnet of self interest. Trusting that we will yet gain our object, and have a thorough Reform conceded us in spite of,this obnoxious, this now almost universally detested majority of 41, com patible with the interests of our King and country, I remain, Sir, your's most respectfully, A ZEALOUS REFORMER. P.& It is rumored that a spy in the pay of a noted conservative party in our metropolis is at work about this uarter ! THE WORKING CLASSES. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) Yesterday morning a deputation from the Eastern Branch of the National Union of the working classes had an interview with Lord Melbourne at the office of the Howe Department, and which arose out of the following circumstances :—lt appeared that at a general meeting of the Eastern Branch of the National Union of the Work ing Closes, held at the Pitt's Head, Bethnal-green-road, on Tuesday night, it was unanimously agreed to address his Majesty , praying that Lis Majesty would not exer cise his prerogative in the creation of any more Peers; on the contrary, that his M a j e sty w ou ld be gra ciously pleased to bringinto operation the authority and power with which his Majesty is awned by the Consti tution, in older to lead to an abolition of the House of Lords. The Address further implored his Majesty to re• commend to the House of Commons, that they would pass, without further delay, a Reform Bill based on the prin• ciples of unise rsal suffrage, .annual Parliaments, vote by b a ll o t, and no property qualification for either the electors or representatives. The Address also requested his Ma jesty would be pleased to order that an inquiry should be forthwith instituted, having for its obj-cts the ameliora tion of the present condition of the working classes. At the meeting alluded to it was also agreed, that a de putation of four members should convey the Address to Lord Melbourne's office, and yesterday morn ing his Lordship very politely received them. The deputation presented the Address, which his Lordship read very attentively, and seeing the name of ooe of them signed, •' William Carpenter," his Lordship instantly and anxiously inquired if he was Mr. Car penter, the publisher ? " No, my Lord," said Mr. Car penter (who was on the deputation), " lam the man, and the gentleman to whom you allude is no more than a namesake of mine, and is the talented writer who is now immured in the walls of the King's Bench Prison." Mr. Carpenter then presented his Lordship with the printed declaration of the rights, as well as the principles of government under which the National Union is di ec His Lordship requested Mr. Carpenter would favour him m leaving him the copy a to which Mr. Carpenter readily assented. liis Lordship, then, on ar riving at that part of the address which alluded to the k4PrPssion of the House of Lords, emphatically observed to the Giminittee, that they required of the King to do that which be was not by law entitled to do_namely, that of suppressing the House of Lords altogether—that be . could not think of presenting such an Address to the ration nKing, and would feel equally as justified in recommending his Maj esty to h ang a man w ith ou t t r i a l as t o suppr e ss the Peers.

THE ARMY IN IRELAND. (From the Litnerick Chronicle of Saturday.) This day the grand division of the 71th regiment, from this garrison, arrived at Templem.re, where eight com panies are trartered, two more being detached at Thnrles and Roscrea. _ _ _ Thuraiay raorning the head-quarters of the 27th re giment marched into Castle Barracks, after the departure of the last division of the 74th same morning for Tem !Amore.

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. TUESDAY Ntotrr.—The Clearwell Stakes is likely to effect some important changes in the betting. Although Dulcinea was dc. feated, the running of Chifney's filly makes Beiram look well for the Prendergast Stakes, he having beaten her, Archibald, and Non Compos (clever winners), in the July Stakes. The betting before starting was 2 to 1 agst Chifney's filly, 7 to 2 agst Dulcinea, sto 1 gst Landgravine, and 6 to 1 agst Margrave. Very little difficulty was experienced in getting the horsesoff; although thir teen of them came to the post ; they came off in a body, neither of them taking much of a lead ; the Winner, Margrave, Land gravine, Colonel Wilson's filly, and Dulcinea, lying very forward. There was no change of importance till about 50 yards from the chair, when the above lot came a little in advance of the ruck ; and in a few strides further Chifney's filly and Margrave were in front ; a pretty race beeween these two ended in favour of the filly by half a length, and without whipping. The third place has been given to four or five; we should say, however, that it rested between Dulcinea and the Duke of Rutland's colt ; Landgravine and Colonel Wilson's colt were nearly head and head with them; the others were all up. Value of the Stakes 11301. The betting on the first class of the two-year-old plate was 5 to 2 against Kit turns, 5 to 2 against Arcot Lass, 4 to 1 against Gratis, and 7 to 1 against Miss Mary Anne. In the other class Non ompos was backed at sto 4 against the field. Miss Mary Anne was the fa vourite for the match at 6 to 4. There was a sale of racing stock in the morning, but very few of the lots were sold. At the Kingston.house Rooms the attendance in the evening was very numerous, and several changes arose iu the odds ; the winner of the Clearwell Stakes rose to 7 to 1 for the Oaks, and, Non Compus to 20 to 1 (takers) for the Derby. Race Course, Wednesday afternoon. At a late hour last night a match for 3to soya. each, p. p., made between the Earl of Chesterfield's Priam, 9st. 21b., and the Marquis of Exeter's Augustus, Bst., both four y rs. old, A. F. It excites very great interest, and will no doubt be a heavy betting race. The enormous disproportion in the weights giving Augustus a very fair chance of success ; if Priam wins he must be one of the most extraordinary horses ever bred. The odds are 6t05 on Priam. The Derby betting has undergone several alterations ; at the time of sending off our parcel the odds averaged as follows : DERBY.-10 to 1 agst the Marquis of Exeter's Beiram ; 18 to agst the Marquis of Exeter's Folly colt (taken) ; 15 to 1 agst the Marquis of Exeter's Dulcinea colt ; 17 to 1 agst Mr. Dilly's Musgrave ; ' 20 to 1 agst the Duke of Grafton's Pastilla colt ; ls to 1 agst Colonel Peel's Non Compos • 25 to I agst Mr. Rids. dale's William the Fourth ; 27 to I apt Mr. Vansittart's Dario letta colt ; 40 to 1 agst the Duke of Rutland's Truffle colt. OAKS.-7 to 1 agst Mr. Chifney's Emilius filly (now called Emiliana). The following fashionables were on the race-ground this after. noon :—Duke of Rutland, Duke of Grafton, Marquis:and Mar chioness of Worcester, Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter, Mar quis of Tavistock, Marquis Graham, Earl and Countess Wilton, Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, Earl and Countess of Lich field, Earl Verulam, Earl Jersey, Earl Stradbroke, Lord W.

The match between Priam and Augustus excites great inte rest, and the betting is heavy in proportion ; one Noble Lord betted 500 to 400 on the former ; several others have laid 6 to 5 and 5t04 to a large amount. Augustus has plenty of !sackers, the immense weight given brightening many who have hitherto backed Priam in all his races; the odds now are 6 to 5 on Priam PRENDF.RGAST STAKES-5 to 4on Beiram.

Lord Howe's first offer of resignation to-his Ma jesty has led to the misconstructions of the King's conduct, which a slight reference to the facts of the case will probably be sufficient to remove.: At the period mentioned, viz., last May, it had not occurred to any body,—we are sure it had not to, his Ma jesty,—that the Lords would vote in so lordly a spirit towards the Government and the nation, as they have since, in an evil hOur, proved themselves capable of voting. The King could not then have conceived it possible that the vote of an individual Peer, like Lord Howe, would be of the least impor tance to the interests of the general measure ; and therefore his Majesty Might not have deemed it necessary to consult his .Ministers on the official answer to be given to the communication of the Queen's Lord Chamberlain. is certain that a generous and kind-hearted Prince,. like King Wil liam, would bothe last man living to tell a Noble man, who announced his intentions with appa rent 'candour, that . he must retire from office, except' under circumstances where the. public in •erest plainly and unquestionably required it. Such circumstances had not yet made themselves visible, at least to any mind which looked. upon the House of Lords—including the Lords spiritual— with sentiments of bahituarrespeet, as we must sup noie to have been the case with his present Majesty. It might, however, have been more for our Sove reign's own ease, and freedom from subsequent anxiety, had his Majesty bethought himself, in the first instance, of referring the Anti-Reform Cham berlain to those official advisers who were responsible for the general march of the Government, and speci fically for the success of the great measure of Re form. A good example might then have been set, and a salutary, because au early, warning adminis • ered to other Peers, whose contempt fir the rights of the people has not, it seems, prevented them from receiving all along the people's money, un washed and coarse as are the aching hands and sweating brows which earn it. But the truth we take to be, that the thorough good nature which animates our warm-hearted Sovereign in all - his acts towards high and low, the concomitant and ornament of a noble seaman-spirit, must, in the instance under consideration, have led away hia attention from every point but the one of sparing Loid Howe a painful and mortifying disappointment. For it is mortifying enough that an officer of the Royal Household, who talks to the Sovereign in a sentimental way about his " willingness" to resign, instead of addressing himself like a man of basiness directly to the King's Minister, or instead of doing what we may presume tkat many independent Noble men would have done,—v4., resigning first, and ac counting for it afterwards,—it is manifest, we say, that such a household functionary lays himself whether justly or not, under the suspicion of co quetting with his duty,—ef fishing from his indul gent Sovereign for an invitation to hold an office, which, according to every law of political fairness and honour, ought to be filled by some individual of , he same principles us the beads of the Government; . . and, in short, of ob•ruding himself upon these who, 'se must be.conscious, were unanimous in liking his " room better than his company." We are now enabled to state, what we did not knew before, that Lord Howe's epistle to Mr. Trevor does not by any meanstsppeur to have placed his Lordship on a higher footing in the esteem of those from whose service he made it so exceedingly difficult to separate him, es possibly the Noble Earl nattered himself it would do, when he took the trouble of opening a corres pondence upon a matter which concerned himself personally, with a gendleman whose acquaintance lie in the same breath disclaims. It is understood that something very like indignant surprise at his Lord ship's conduct in this instance has been expressed :rt the highest quarters, and that so fur from his Majesty showing any extraordinary eagerness to te tain the Noble Earl when be tendered his resigna tion, the King's kind disposition did not induce his Majesty to employ terms of refusal beyond such as were commonly courteous. Moreover, if we are not greedy mistaken, his Majesty expected that all Lord Howe's flourishes would end it his voting for the 8.11. But enough of this ex-placeman ; about whom there never existed, we think, the slightest interest, apart from the office which, we suppose, nobody can regret that he no longer 6114.-11 mes: We find that it is attempted to give a false co louring to what we said on the subject of the Ladies of the Bedchamber whose husbands voted against Reform. The attempt is at once stupid and malig nant. What have we ever said against the females themselves? We know nothing of them; but the bare circumstance that they are attached to the household of the Queen, and honoured by her Ma jesty's regard, is a proof that they are persons of the highest character in morals and behaviour. What we contend for is, that they are not on that account entitled to protect their husbands in their opposition to the King's Government. The question is a ques tion of politics merely. It is asserted by the Anti- Reformers, that the affairs of State could not " go on," unless the Lords exercised a certain influence in the people's House of Parliament ; ihe.proposition, is unfounded, and untrue; yet we do not see how those who assert it can deny another, yet snore ob vious, which is, that the tiffars of Sate could not " go on," if those who have the conducting of them are opposed by the King's household. It may be allowed that the Reform party will not get a vote by the dismissal of Lords Brownlow, Mayo, and Ely, in the persons of their several wives, and of Lord Howe in his own person; because, in all probability Lords already pledged to the measure will take their places ; but they will gain iss public confidence, the march of Government will be simple and unimpeded, and the union of his Majesty with his Minister, and his people placed beyond the reach of suspicion.— Tinzez. It is a remarkable fact, that the Bishops, who attended the House of Lords in such numbers last week when the question was to resist and defeat the wishes of the people upon the subject of Reform, were xl! absent (with the exception of Dr. 11Ia'tby, the Whig Bishop of Chichester) from their places in Monday night, when the Vestry Bill was dis cussed in Committee—a measure, be it observed, more important to the parishes in their various dioceses than any other, as well as peculiarly in teresting to the parochial clergy. It is impossible not to thaw inferences from this circumstance, with regard to the usefulness of the Bishops in the ' House of Lords.— Tiwet. The Bankruptcy Bill passed last night, and will this day receive the Royal sanction. It is curious that one of the last weapons of attack used by Sir Charles Wetherell against it was borrowed front the armoury of Jeremy Bentham. The infatuated ad vocate of obsolete law, and the fantastical lover of anomalous absurdity which never can be law, formed is coalition, amusing but not unnatural, against around practical scheme of rational amelioration. Well, it dews not signify, there must be something in Christian names affecting those who bear them. - Jeremy Bentham never could have been .the misty-headed mar-sense he . is, had he been endowed with any other name than Jeremy, or Jeremiah. The boss at school calling him Jerry, Jeremy, and, above all, Jeremiah, must have engendered a certain .queerily in him, which would have been wanting had l i e possessed the name of any other Christian man's child—Tom, or George, or Harry. We have often doubted whether Jeremy or Jeremiah Bentham wrote with a common goose-quill pen ; for were it sd, we have thought, dull as the bird is from whose wing the quill was plucked, it would of itself sly quicker to its master's meaning than the hand of Jeremy could guide it. Aye, but the m aster's mean ing! Jeremy has the advantage over his pen there: an unwill ng labourer betwixt his two fingers and thumb, it mug remain. Were the pen to start, it could not tell whither to tkr in quest of the mean , ng; for, most assuredly , a meaning--if meaning he obipeet of Jeremy s con en's flight, is buried i of itself, so diminutive i n cieps r tu e i oc ri b hs e ;b o as f ; a du r r i i y t theykind—the, nern,i d os the
