to pr ware any gentleman fo come forward on the Tory, or Anti-lleforth side of the question, and their Ex-Member (Sir Charles Hastings) having already paid more than suf ficien• for the honour of representing the party, make a virtue of necessity, and say they shall offer no opposition to either Mr. Evans or Mr. Edis. LEICESTERSHIRE.—Lord Robert Manners and Mi. Paget have announced their intention to solicit the suffrage' of the freeholders ; and a requisition, signed by J. Packe , Esq., E. C. Hartopp, Esq., and about thirty other prin. cilia' landowners, has this day been forwarded to C. M. Phillip, Esq. inviting him to become a candidate to re. present the county. It is generally supposed that he will comply with the request, and that Lord Rubt. Manners, the Anti-reformer, must retire. LEITH.—On Monday the inhabitants voted una vote, an address to the King for having dissolved the late Par. liament. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.—Mr. Denison having declined to stand for this borough, the friends of that gen tleman have not yet definitely fixed on any candidate in his stead. Mr. Stanley has been spoken of. Lord Francis Leveson Gower is, it is said, hovering in the neighbour hood. LIVERPOOL.—SeveraI influential gentlemen have in vited Lord F. L. Gower to come forward. Mr. Evart, General Gascoyne, and Mr. Denison were canvassing on Tuesday and yesterday. LINCOLN. -111 r. Fardell has retired. LUDLOW.—Lord Clive and his relative, the Hon. R. Clive, have published a joint address to the burgesses, whom they call " worthy and independent " It is one of the closest of the nomination boroughs in England. LANCASHIRE.—Mr. Wilson Patten has addressed the freeholders ; he says, " though he cannot go the whole l e ngth with Ministers, he is prepared to support the prin ciple of it as far as regards the disfranchisement of all no min ttion and corrupt boroughs, and the transfer of the elective franchise to populous towns and counties." What then does he oppose in it ? is it the extension of the franchise to householders? Remember this, people of Lancashire. MARYLEBONE.—This parish meets for the same purpose tomorrow, and other parishes in London are about to follow the same example. NOTTINGHAMSHIRE.—Mr. Evelyn Denison has come forward in place of Admiral Sotheron, resigned; Mr. Denison supports the Bill. NEWARK.—The nomination took place yesterday; the candidates are, W. F. Handley, EPq. Sir R. Gres ley, Bart. and Mr. Serjelnt Wilde. The state of the poll was not known when the mail left. NEWARK.—Mr. Sergeant Wilde will defeat the Duke's nominee this time; the people being quite enthusiastic in his cause. Mr. Sadler declares he his sick of the borough. NOTTINGHAM, WZDNESDAY ArreaNuon.—We have had another signal manifestation in the cause of Reform; immediately after intelligence was received of the dissolution, a very numerously signed requisition was presented to the Mayor, requesting him to call a public meeting for an address of thanks to his Majesty for his appeal to his people. The Mayor appointed Wednesday noon, at the Guildhall, but at the time appointed the num bers assembled were so immense that an adjournment was moved, and the speakers addressed the thousands assem bled in the Week-day-cross, from the Council Chamber windows. The meeting concluded by four times four for the reforming King, proposed by General Sir R. C. Fer gusten, one of the Members for the town, who was loudly cheered by the electors in addressing them. The band then struck up " God save the King," all the people join ing in chorus. Ft iday is the day of election ; the Attor ney-General and Sir R. C. Fergusson will be re-elected without cost and without opposition. The cause of Re form will have a signal triumph. As Sir Thomas Den man cannot leave town till Thursday, the public entry of the candidates will be early in the morning of Friday.— They are to be met on the bridges, a mile from the town, and the procession will be headed by all the different elec• tion colours now in Nottingham ; several of the old blue flags, the colours of the Tory party, have been sent to the Committee of Management ; the purple and orange of the Whigs and Radicals are collecting in, and, with a number of new ones, all will form one procession.— The entry, the election, the chairing, and the exit, will be all in one day. The Attorney-General has no time to be wasted, In the county we are threatened with an opposi tion, a natneless candidate having been announced in a shoal of hand-bills and placards which have. just arrived from London, doubtless from the Committee of borough mongers ; but it will be of no avail ; the freeholders will re-elect Mr. John &vile Lumley, and will replace Admiral Sotheron by Mr. Evelyn Denison, who pledges himself to support the Bill. The accomplished Sir Roger Gresley has arrived in Newark, and has offered to display his pugilistic prowess in the Market-place, having been spencered by the people. Such is the creature the Duke of Newcastle would cram down the people's throats ! Nothing has been heard of Mr. Sadler ; he has not bad the civility to wish the Newatkers a respectful adieu. As soon as the Nottingham town election shall be over, all the workmen at elections will be off to Newark, Basset law, Derbyshire, or Leicestershire. If the boroughmongers any where show fight, the Nottingham men will go as auxiliaries to contest against them. PORTSMOUTH.--Here all is safe for the Reforming interest. Mr. Carter and Mr. F. Baring will be returned without opposition. The whole town, by the letters of yesterday, appears to have been in a singular state of ex citement. The sailors to a man participate in it, and called the Reform question another fight for their King and country.l PRESTON. —Mr. Hunt and Mr. Wood are both at present canvassing : the election takes place this day. The electors wished Mr. Stanley to come forward, but he has declined the honour ; they then waited on Mr. Potter, of Manchester, who also declined, as he is can vassing Wigan. Mr. Charles Swainson was also invited, but declined. SALISBURY.—Mr. Wadham Wyndham, in his ad dress to the Mayor and commonalty, denies that he is an enemy to all Reform. He has no objection "to the ex tension of the elective franchise to the respectable inhabi tant householders of his native city." ST. IVES.—Mr. Wellesley and Mr. E. Lytton Bul. wer will be returned without opposition for this borough ; s h ou ld I%lr. Wellesley be returned for Essex, he will vacate the borough in favour of Mr. liaise, a Cornish gentleman. SOMERSETSHIRE.—Mr. Northmore has responded to the call of the freeholders, and published his opinions in a manly, straight-forward, and spirited address. C.donel Langton, in answer to the requisition to him to come for ward, states that he will be present at the nomination, and " that if the freeholders should require his assistance, as a colleague of Mr. Sanford, to curry through Parlia ment the ministerial measure of Reform, he will not deny himself the pleasure of acceding to their wishes," but he wishes it to be clearly understood that his election " must depend upon the spontaneous efforts of the independent freeholders of the county." SHOREHAM.—Sir Charles Burrell and Mr. Howard have both addressed their constituents in the rape of Bramber, and we do not imagine there will be any oppo sition, as both these gentlemen voted for the Bill.— Jirighton Gazette. TAUNTON.—A letter received this morning (Wed. nestlay) informs us that up to ten o'clock on Tuesday morning there bad appeared no serious opposition to the late Members, who are both strenuous advocates of the Reform Bill. Some of the Tory party, indeed, commenced a canvass for General Peachy, or a friend of his, as might happen, on principles opposed to the Bill; but this absurd struggle of an expiring faction only exposes them to ten fold ridicule. The agents of Mr. Bainbridge have all de clared their intention to act gratuitously. TAUNTON.—Both the late Members, Mr. Labouchere and Mr. Bainbridge, voted for the Bill ; and, from their successful canvass hitherto, are certain of their re-election. WORCES TERSHIRE.—Mr. Richards has resigned ; the fury party have subscribed largely here, with the Dowager Lady Beauchamp at their head for 50,0001. WIGAN.—Mr. Richard Potter is here, after complet ing a most suapessful ca nvass : his principles are decidedly at the right side. Colonel Lindsay retires. Mr. Wilbraham and Mr. Thicknesse, the banker, areht e new . candidates. WELLS. —The two late Members, Mr. Lee and Mr. V au ghan, whose votes neutralized eac h other, are again . ca nvassing ; and a third gentleman, mr. R. Bl a k emore, is coining forward. YORKSHIRE.—TIie proceedings of the Reformers in the various districts are all that the friends of the great measure can desire: they are everywhere on the alert, and everywhere successful. It was stated last night, that at a town within forty miles of Londou,—we could not learn the name of the place,—the people had hit upon a rather unusual expe diency to dispose of the Anti-Reforming candidate. He Was met in the outskirts of the town by a large body of the elector', who, to his great satisfaction, and somewhat jt of tire, Witted on taking the horses fr om his carriage 1;r & ; r - ter, ,to.4lif se4 %;..w- gl C ~t~ •r, And drawing him intn the town. Instead of landing him afely at his inn, they drew him into the middle of a pond, .ut of which he and the gentleman who accompanied him were left to make their way as they could. Mr. Gishorne and Mr. Campbell, it is understood, will izain come forward for Stafford ; and we learn that Mr. Francis Lloyd, of Birmingham, offers himself as a can lidate. Mr. Borradaile retires from Newcastle-under- Lyme, but Mr. Miller again appears before his late con mtituents. The friends of Mr. Edmund Peel are already ictive, and Mr. Ark%right is also talked of.— TVolver hampton Chronicle. The town of Lewes may boast of taking the lead in the struggle with the Anti-Reformists. Sir John Shelley has been compelled to retire without coming to a poll ; and Mr. Kemp and Sir Charles Blunt, both staunch loyalists (as we now term the Reformers) will be returned on Friday. The city of Bath election takes place on Saturday. The Members to be put in nomination are Lord John Thynne, Lord Brecknock, and General Palmer. So many con tradictory rumours prevail respecting the two who will be chosen, that we think it i ight to refrain from giving any opinion on the subject. —Bath Chronicle. BOROUGH OF ST. ALBAN'S.—First day's poll, Thursday,—Sir Francis Vincent, Bart., 139 ; Lord Grimston, 137 ; Mr. Godson, 130. There is little doubt Sir Francis and Mr, Godson will be returned. ELECTIONS FIXED.

TUESDAY.—SuffoIk, at Ipswich ; Edinburghshire. WEDNESDA Y.—Kent ; Somersetshire, at Ilchester ; Lancashire. S C 0 TLAND. ARGYLLSHIRE.—Mr. W. Campbell is in the field for this county : he voted for the Bill. AYRSHIRE.—Mr. Oswald, of Auchintreen, has an nounced himself for this Bounty as a Reformer, in opposi tion to Mr. Blair, the late Member, who voted against the Bill. DUMBARTONSHIRE.—Lord W. Graham is not again coming forward. Mr. John C. Colquhoun, how ever, is in the field, hut he has made no avowal of his principles with respect to Reform. The late Member opposed the Bill. EDINBURGHSHIRE.—Sir George Clerk, in his ad dress, says, " that he is ready to give his support to any measures calculated to correct the abuses which may have grown up in the political system." That part of the sys tem which returns such men as the worthy candidate for a county is, (if all ethers, perhaps the abuse most deserv ing correction. FIFESHIRE.—Mr. J. Lindsay opposes Capt. Wemyss, who supported Ministers; the new candidate is one of the " well-regulated Reform" supporters, and talks in his ad dre,s of " that religion (we suppose boroughmongering and place-hunting), which the experience of many aces has shown to he the surest foundation of our liberties and happiness." HADDINGTONSHIRE.—Mr. Hope (late of Gatton) will have an opponent on the side of the Ministerial mea sure of Reform in Mr. Baird, of Newbyth ; fie says that " the measure is founded on justice, and well adapted to calm the agitation which now exists throughout the country." KIRKCUDBRIGHTSHIRE.—Mr. Cutlar Ferguson has come forward here on his old principles as a supporter of the Ministerial Bill of Reform. A second candidate has started. Mr. Forbes, of Callendar-house, who de. dares himself " firmly resolved to support establishments in church and state," and " not indisposed to support any prudent change in the representation, consistent with the safety of the Constitution,"—that is, with the maintenance of rotten boroughs, and equally rotten Scotch counties. LINLITHGOWSHIRE.—GeneraI Sir A. Hope has again come forward. He was an opponent of the Bill, and declares himself opposed to any change tending to de prive those really (parchment voters—query?) interested in land of their just influence in coun►y representation. LANARKSHIRE.—Sir C. Dougles, the late Member, comes forward again. PERTHSHIRE.--Sir G. Murray is up again. He declares, in his address, that "he has never been an enemy, at any period of his public life, to prudent ame • liorations of the political system of the country." Did not Sir George vote against the transfer of the franchise from East Retford to Birmingham ? RENFREWSIIIRE —Sir Michael Shaw Stewart, one of the few Scotch Members who supported the Bill, has addressed the electors. ROXBURGHSHIRE..—Mr. Scott, who voted against Ministers, says in his address to the freeholders, that " after the late discussions, &c. in the House, he is in clined to believe (a new version of the Marquis of London derry's ' almost lead me to think') that some equitable and moderate alteration as to the distribution of the elective franchise ought to be adopted. How parrot like ! These " equitable, moderate, just, and fair" Reformers seem to have obeyed the instructions given them by the Con• servative Senate in Charles-street. STIRLING BURGHS.--.llr. Johnstone has come into .he field as a Reformer. SELKIRKSHIRE.—Mr. A. Pringle has solicited the suffrages of the freeholders ; he opposed the Bill. Mr. A. E Lockhart is to be put in nomination on the other side. IRELAND. ATHLON E. —Mr. James Talbot,who petitioned against the return of the patron's nominee, hut without success, is again coming forward, pledging himself as " a staunch and uncompromising Reformer." Now is the time for the incorporators to shake off the yoke of Lord Castleman?, and by one good act conciliate their townsmen. KILDARE.—The manly and decisive tone in which Sir Wm. Hurt addresses himself to the constituency of Kil dare merits the public applause. We are highly gratified to learn that his canvass has been eminently successful, and that his friends reckon upon his success as being placed beyond doubt. —Dublin Morning Register. MEATH.—Mr. Naper, of Louchcrew, and Lord Kil leen, both pledging themselves to Reform, are in the field. SLIGO.—We have heard some rumours of an intended opposition to General King. in consequence of his vote for Reform. Let the independence of the county crush this in the bud.—Freemen's-Journal. - WICKLOW.—There is a talk of an attempt to start a Tory candidate; but it is laughed at in every circle well acquainted with its constituency.—Dublin Morning Register. In the other parts of Ireland similar promptitude is ex hibited to return Reformers. It is currently reported that if HUNT does not succeed in his Preston election, be will be returned for one of BILLY Horzuss's boroughs. The arm-and-arm conversation of the Arcades ambo gives semblance to the report. At Preston, the ex-Member, Mr. HUNT, when he entered, was received with hisses, and his recep tion altogether was very discouraging. There is no per son of consequence will support him, and a large body of electors have solicited Mr. POTTER, a staunch Reformer, awl a gentleman of political consistency and superior ta lents, to become , c indidate. Mr. Porrea has complied with their request, and will certainly be returned in pre ference to any friend or supporter of the boroughmongers. —Morning Advertiser. - - Last night a few tradesmen who are in the habit of frequenting the " Castle" public-house in Alie street, on reading in the newspapers the account of the meeting for the establishment of the "Loyal Patriotic Fund," immediately chose a chairman from their number, and after passing a resolution to open a subscription in aid of that Fund, immediately proceeded to suit the action to the 6l. s word, and i n l ess than ten minutes the sum of S. 6d. was collected. This will, perhaps, be a hint to other friends of Reform. We have learned that the warrant for the exe cution of the unfortunate Luis z Ditt.ow has reiched the Sheriff's office.—Dublin Morning Register. PRENCIT PAPERS. " GENERAL DWERNICKI IN VOLHYNIA. " General Dwerni c ki, whom the German journals hav e so often announc e d as l os t, wh•., with his whole corp s , was surrounded by the Russian Generals de Witt, Kreutz, and Rudiger, though neither of them dared to attack him, and he whom the Field Marshal menaced to destroy in each of his reports, has entered Volhynia, after having passed the Bug, near Krylow, on the night of the 10th and 11th current. " The officer, Kaczkowski, who brought us thin news, left him on the 16th at Horowchaw, at the mo• ment when his columns took the direction of Duhno and Krzemieniec. Our General met at Chorachow, recruits from Volhynia, which the Russians were lead ing in chains. He asked what was the crime for which they were enchained. They replied that they had committed no crime, but that they were leading them in this way to join the army. Ask these brave fellows, rejoined General Dwernicki, pointing to our men, and learn from them if a single one of them has been treated in so cruel a manner ; they will reply, that all of them have hastened, freely and full of ardour, to the defence of our common country ; and on the order of the General, our Lancers and our Chasseurs broke the chains, which afforded an affecting spectacle. Embrace each other, said then the General to them ; you are all brothers. Tears flowed, cries of joy were heard, and the Volbynians Bled with our troops. The enthusiasm is general; con tributions 11)w in ; and the inhabitants arrive from all sties with arms in their hands. " The enti y of General Dwernicki in Volhynia promises us great advantages; it will be the signal of insurrection for all the Russo-Polish provinces; and it will ensure us besides great supplies of provisions. Volhynia was the ma gazine for the army of the Field Marshal, who already had obtained from it a consideraVe tran.tport of corn. Nothing resisted the entrance of our General: he is said now to be at Dubno, and that on his road he routed some de tachments of the enemy. Every body is arming; already several squadrons are ready to march. You can form no idea of the enthusiasm of the inhabitants, who at every step arrive to crowd the ranks of our brave men. For the last half century our brethren of Samogitia, of Volhynia, of Podolia, and of the Ukraine, have groaned under the weight of servitude, and of a hostile occupation. Nineteen long years have passed since the inhabitants beyond the Bug have seen for once the Polish lance; Dwernicki showed them again our victorious phalanxes bearing the standard of liberty. " SECOND REPORT FROM DWERNICKI. " Scarcely had Dwernicki passed the Bug when his first steps on that Polish soil were marked with success. On the II th instant, five platoons of the 2d Regiment of Lancers, and of the 4th Horse Chasseurs, composing a part of his corps, encountered near Povyck the whole regiment of Dragoons of Chargopoloki, which enjoys a high reputation in the Russian army. Our detachment rushed upon this regiment, put it to rout, took five officers (amongst whom is Prince Obolenaki), 150 Dragoon, as many horses, and more than 200 carbines, and other weapons. The enemy's regiment lost also a great number of men in killed and wounded : finally, the re mains of this celebrated regiment have been dispersed in the woods, and are continually falling into our hands. The attack was so unexpected, and at the same time so impetuous, that we had only one man wounded, whose name is Captain Zajewski. General Dwernicki has already taken possession of the baggage and transports of provisions des tined for the great army.

Their MAJESTIES, attended by a numerous suite, visited Somerset-house this morning, for the pur pose of inspecting the collection of pictures, pre viously to their being exhibited to the public. Their MAJESTIES were most enthusiastically cheered by the crowd that had assembled. I♦;r. WARD, the Anti-Reform candidate for the city of London, has resigned, For this, thank GOD ! Mr. WILLIAM BROUGHAM has been returned for Southwatk. For this also, thank GOD The latter gentleman is a thick-and-thin, not a bit by-bit Reformer ; his return, therefore, is a glo !jou% triumph for the cause of the people. Never theless let no one slumber; let no one dream of halting; let no one think aught gained, till all is gained. Let the present victories serve only to sti mulate the people to further exertions. The borough mongers are every where on the alert, and though they work like blind moles in the dark, they still have it in their power to do incalculable mischief. Of all the enemies of Reform, those who style themselves moderate Reformers are incomparably the most Jesuistical, unprincipled, and malignant. The Duke of WELLINGTON'S manly opposition is an act of virtue compared with the concealed hostility of these hypocrites. They are wolves in sheep's clothing; spies who are not to be trusted, even on their oaths. A squad of these worthies is just now busily engaged in all attempt to beguile the freeholders of Worcestershire, and the adjacent counties. Their object is to sow divisions in the Reformers' camp, to disunite their forces, lead astray their judgment, and thus ensure a victory. They profess—the dear, innocent suck lings !—to be quite thunderstruck at the imputa tion of being opposed to any alteration in the repre sentative system. Their nice sense: of patriotism scouts the charge with indignation. " Opposed to Reform indeel ! Not they. They are its best frieutls. They are convinced that some change is necessary ; that the venerable Constitution is not quite so perfect as it might be ; but that time is wanting to put the great wheel of innova tion in motion : and that, if the people w ill only consent to grant them this time, they will do all that is necessary ; all that can with reason be demanded of them. The meaning of this is, they will stave off Reform to the last moment; then concede as little as possible, and trust to the Chapter of Accidents for the rest. Freeholders o f Worces tershire, will you allow your judgments to be hood winked by these conspiratOrs against the public in terests? Will you put faith in the promises of a party which acknowledges Sir ROBERT PEEL as its head ? Remember the Test Acts! Remember the Catholic Question ! Remember the East Retford job ! Remember that the very. hypocrites who now profess themselves friendly to a mode rate Reform—not from conviction, but from a mean, selfish desire to keep up with an age which they cannot understand, which has already left them far behind, and which compels them to keep per petually on the limp;—remember that these very men, not three years since, voted in the majority which refused that small boon to the people, a transfer of the East Retford franchise to Birmingham or Manchester ! Remember this, and ask your selves what miracle has occurred, to enlighten their understandings in this the eleventh hour ? Why the Constitution, which by their vote they pronounced perfect not three years since, is nom for the first time discovered to need repair? Ask yourselves this question, and your own good sense will at once suggest replies. Moderate Reform ! The very words are an in sult to the understanding of the people. Whatiches Sir R. PEEL,—that small, vapid imitator of Lord ELDoN, who possesses his Lordship's bigotry with out his intellect, his obstinacy without his con sistency—does this poor mocking bird dare to assert that moderate Reform, and above all, his Reform, will now satisfy the nation; and that it is unreasonable if it expects more ? He does, for sooth, and we will tell him why. Because he has not firmness enough to grapple with an enlarged measure, nor capacity enough to comprehend it. He is a pedlar politician, and deals in the retail line. A great question puzzles him. He is DAvus, not CEDIPus. He would tinker the Constitution, as a tinman tinkers a tea-kettle. Look at his Law Reforms. See how much he has here left undone, how much yet re mains to be effected by BROUGHAM. Why, the gleaner will actually have a more laborious task than the reaper ! Of his conduct on the Catholic ques tion we say nothing. It is the only substantial boon he ever yet conferred on the people. But even this was not his own work. The business was ready done to his hands. The Liberals had already paved the way; they had dug the mine; they had laid the train ; he had nothing to do, but to take up the torch and the it. We tell Sir R. PEEL, then, as the avowed leader of the moderate Reformers, that his and their plan will never answer. It is at variance with the character of the age. It is, obnoxious to the wishes of the people. A cancer has for years been preying on the Constitution; the poison is hourly extending itself; it must be cut away wholly and without remorse. " Immedicabile vulnus Ense recidendum est, ne pars sincera trahatur." Electors of the United Kingdom, again and again we repeat, do not permit yourselves to be gulled, not even for an instant, by the cant of the moderate Reformers. If you do, you will repent it to the latest generation. They will fawn on you, only to betray you. Your interests and theirs are wholly incompatible. You demand justice, they, place; you are the sworn foes, they the sworn friends of the Boroughmongers; you approve the late !evolution in Paris, they abominate it. Can you, then, ever come to terms ?—Never. We have accounts from Pernambuco to the 9th of February, which are unsatisfactory. That tine pro vince remained in an unsettled state. The President of Rio Grande had been assassi nated on the 22d January, and the Custom-house twice plundered. The sales of specie deposited in the interest bark at Rio Janeiro, had commenced on the 15th January, and a second sale had been made a few days afterwards. By the latest French arrivals we learn that in tense anxiety is felt at Paris for the fate of Poland. The Nurenzburg Correspondent contains some important particulars respecting the state of affairs in Turkey. The Janissaries, it seems, hare, at length got a staunch and powerful supporter in the person of MUSTAPHA PACISA who, accompanied by a vast body of well-armed troops, is now on his march to attack the GRAND VIZIER. We receive daily communications from all quar ters of the kingdom—a few of which we insert in The Sun of to-day—respecting the gratifying progress that Reform is every where making. The new Parliament, we hope, and devoutly believe, will enable Ministers to carry the "Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill"—for these are the terms on which the people lend them their support—by an overwhelming majority of one hundred and fifty votes! THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK Extract of a letter from Marseilles, 14th April :—" We have arrived from Algiers, where all was tranquil when we left ; but the inhabitants were discontented with the destruction of a mosque, in which was a statue of Mahomet in massive gold, the height of five feet and they offered two millions to prevent its demolition. From Frankfort-on-the- Maine they write that letters from Dres den announced, that, on the ISth instant, that capital was the scene of tumult, and that blood was shed. A mail has arrived from Rio Janeiro, left the lath Feb. by which Rio Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house to the 12th February. The following are extracts The sale of specie which existed in the Bank still continued. By the brig Anna, arrived on the Bth instant from Pernambuco we have received: very unpleasant news, and we lament that that fine province is far from being in a settled state. It appears that Don Joze de Almeida, President of the province of Rio Grande, and one of the Deputies of the Legi slative Assembly, being on a visit to a Dr. Gustavo, was shot on the 22d of January, and killed on the spot ; the Doctor was also wounded.' We also learn that the Custom-house was twice plundered. " Their Imperial Majesties continue their journey, and enjoy the best health. They travel in the most private manner pos sible. On the lgth ult. their Majesties were at St. Joas del Rey, where they were received with the greatest enthusiasm. Accounts from Antwerp state, that within a short period they have raised a great number of batteries, which now mount two hundreli pieces of cannon, thirty-six to forty-eight pounders, with a proportionate number of mortars, served by experienced artillerymen. The passage of the Scheldt is looked upon as im passable to ships of war, should they attempt forcing that river. THE FUNDS. This being the day for the electing of the City Monbers, it causes some sensation in the city, on account of the manifest exertions and great interest by the monied capitalists to uphold Mr. Ward as Member again for the city ; but this morning it is generally believed that he will not meet with success, anti that the King and country will triumph over this combination.

According to w hat we learn, the 30,000 men composing the army for Tyrol will not remain here, but proceed towards Switzerland, to form the left wing of the grand army.

CITY ELECTION. This being the day appointed for the nomination of four fit and proper persons to be returned to serve in Parlia ment for the City, the Livery at an early hour were on the alert. The hour fixed by the Lord Mayor for the commencement of business was one o'clock, but long be fore that time Guildhall became much crowded. The general body of the Livery appear decidedly in favour of the four Reform Candidates; but Mr. Ward's friends are very numerous, and had great influence. Should many of the Livery split their votes between any one of the Re form Candidates and Mr. Ward, the latter individual it is calculated will be returned. The greatest exertions are being made by the General Committee to obtain votes for Aldermen Wood, Waithman, Thompson, and Venable.. The canvass has been very successful, and it is expected that more votes will be recorded at the present election than for many contests past. The Hall is becoming ex ceedingly crowded. At one o'clock the Lard Mayor, at!ended by the other Officers of the Corroration, entered the hustings, and were loudly cheered. The Reform candidates were most loudly cheered. Mr. Ward was hissed by many of the Livery. The Secondary came: forward and read the writ direct ing the election. The usual oaths were taken by the Sheriffs to conduct the election without favour, &c., and other customary forms were gone through. The oaths against bribery and corruption were read. It was here stated in the Hall that Mr. Ward would not proceed to the contest. The LORD Mayoz then came forward and said, that as Mr. Ward wished to address the Livery, he hoped that that liberty which was advocated by the citizens so ably would be extended to the Hon. Gentleman, who deserved good opinion for his manly conduct. Mr. WARD came forward, and was received with a mixture of hisses and applause. He would not come for ward to raise a vexatious conduct. He was prepared to maintain his opinions, but he had been in formed that the opinion of the City was opposed, not to him personally, but to any opposition to Reform.— (Loud cheers.) Under those circumstances he should not carry on a vexatious contest. (LEFT SPEAKING.) SOUTHWARK. This morning the election of two Members for the ensuing Parliament to represent this borough, took place at the Town Hall at nine o'clock. John Holmes, Esq., High Bailiff, appeared on the hustings, accompanied by Charles Calvert, Esq. and William Brougham, Esq., the only candidates, who were received with loud cheering. The usual pro forma business of reading the bribery act, and the precept having been gone through, the High Bailiff addressed the electors upon the subject on which he had called them together, and called upon any person to come forward and propose a candidate. Mr. SOLOMON DAvis came forward to nominate the old friend and representative of the electors, during seven Parliaments, Charles Calvert, Esq., a man who had been for twenty years the uncompromising supporter of the true interests of his country.—(Cheer'.) He adverted to the conduct of Sir R. Wilson, for whom, and for all like him, a little of that discipline exercised during the early part of the American war—tarring and feathering— (Laughter)—would be a just punishment.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. Joni.; Ews seconded the nomination. Reform was now the only question thought of; the electors of South wark, he perceived, bad already reformed, for at this elec tion he perceived no parade, no procession, no music, no banners, and no disturbance.—He eulogized the conduct of the King and of the Ministers who had acted directly reverse to what all former Ministers had done. While all former Ministers hail pocketted the ptiblic money, bur• thened their relations on the public, the present ones, in. stead of looking after the income of the country, watched with a jealous eye over the expenditure of the country. The Honourable Gentleman contrasted the conduct of the present King with that of the two preceding Mo narchs, and drew a conclusion that William the Fourth, acting like a patriotic King, attending to the wishes of his people, anxious only for their happiness, had grandly and nobly entitled hiss to their gratitude and support. Mr. JOHN RICHARDS came forward to propose William Brougham, Esq , as a candidate for the representation of the borough. If ever there was a period in the history of this country when the people should act with incorrupted and incorruptible integrity, this was that period—(Loud cheers)--and no desire of place or of power should induce their representatives to forget that they were merely trus tees, appointed to execute a public trust.—(Cheers.) The House of Commons had been partly composed of the no minees of Peers and wealthy Commoners, and as it was natural for men so appointed to look to their own interests as well as that of their patrons, the people had been robeed and plundered without remorse.—(Cheers.) The eyes of England were on the electors of Southwark; the King had appealed to his people, and it was now for them to answer that appeal by throwing off the yoke, and breaking asunder the bombs of the boroughmongering oligarchy. Mr. WM. DAVIS, in a brief speech, seconded the nomi nation of Mr. Brougham. Air. CALVERT then stepped forward, and was received with loud cheers. This was the eighth time he had had the honour of addressing the erectors of Southwark from these hustings. In 1807 he was first called upon by them to advocate the cause of civil and religious liberty, and he thanked God he had lived to see his exertions in that cause crowned with succes..—(Cheers ) He was now in vited still to be their representative to assist in carrying the great measure of Reform : he somewhat regretted they had not some Tory candidate on this occasion, because he should like that party to see with what contempt any person would be treated who ventured to avow his hostility to that measure.—(Cheers.) He anticipated that the Re form Bill would cause a reduction of taxes, and spread hap piness from one end of the land to the other.—(Loud cheers.) It would give also cheap bread to all clas-es, and cheap beer they had got already.—(Laughter, and a cry of "It ought to be cheaper.") For twenty years, he was proud to say, he had advocated their interests, and could only promise, that as his past conduct had been, so would he act in future. He could tell them, that it was probable the assessed taxes would soon be taken off.—(Cheers.) To a question put to Lord Althorp in the House of Com mons, whether the ten-pound qualification of voters should not be upon the assessment instead of the rental, his Lord ship answered no, for be hoped the assessment would not last long.—(Loud cheers.) Of all taxes, the house-tax was the most iniquitou , .—(Cheers.) He related one in stance :—The Marquis of Salisbury bad a large mansion in Hertfordshire, which was only assessed at 1001. a year, while he (Mr. C.'s) small house at Twickenha m was assessed at 2201.—(Cries of " Shame !") 7he Hon. Gen tleman, at considerable length, stated his opinion regarding certain measures, and thou withdrew amidst shouts of applause. _ Mr. BROUGHAM was received with immense cheering, which seemed to affect him considerably. In calling him to the high and distinguished station of one of their repre sentatives, he trusted he should be excined at feeling a little overcome at a moment when he was overpowered by his feelings ; he could assure the electors that he did not mean to use the sentence as one of mere electioneering form, when he declared from sincere feelings that this was the proudest moment of his life.—(Cheers.) He was proud also at luving to follow his Hon. Friend and Col league, whose acquaintance, however, he had not until this day had the happiness of possessing, and at knowing that he was second in their estimation t o a man w h o was _ _ the long and tried friend of the people.—(Cheers.) His Hon. Friend had never flinched from his post in the House of Commons when the interests of his constituents or of the country were at stake, and whose example he (Mr. B.) would feel proud and bound to follow, even if he were bound so to do by no other ties. Coming before the electors young in y ears an d inexpe rienced in politics, it was na t ura l t h at they should require some pledge of those principles by which he meant to be guided ; he first threw in the teeth of those who had said—and he despised the insinuation—that he was the nominee of the Lord Chancellor ;—it was said if the Lord Chancellor had sent his wig among them they would have elected it; but he (Mr. B.) was not the no minee of any man ; he stood there as the friend and at the choice of the electors, and although he was proud of his connexion with the Lord Chancellor, it was not because he was Lord Chancellor, but because his name was Henry Brougham, and was the long-tried friend of the people.— (Loud cheers.) The specticle of to-day was an answer at once to the nomination system ; no Lord, however high in rank, or however wealthy, should ever have any influ ence with the electors of Southwark—(Cheers)—and if there was one part of the Reform Bill that he pprovtd of more than another it was that part which put an end to the nomination system.—(Cheers.) In a few words he would state his principles, .nd by which he hoped to stand or fall. He avowed himself the ardent uncompromising friend of Parliamentary Reform, and not having yet had an opportunity of performing any public act by which he was known, he would answer all doubts by saying h e was the true friend of that great question of Reform, and he should advocate it, because he was the brother of Henry Brougham—(Cheers)—it he should flinch from that course he would be a traitor to his brother and the electors; he was bound by every tie to be true to people; and on the word of an honest ad no desire to betray that great cause.— the Englishmanause o f the e b (Cheers.) If he should ever he so mad, so idiotic, so pro fligate, or so unwise as to depait from this principle, the electors had the remedy in their own hands, which they had very recently exercised—(Laughter) —and could exer cise again on hint, if there should be any part of his future political life with which the electors would he displeased they knew where to find him, and they also knew where to send him.—(Cheers, and a cry " to the right about.") Yes, to the right about.—(Laughter.) What was now taking place in the borough of Southwark would be a rich lesson to all parts of England ; there never had been a more signal triumph of the cause of Reform than there hail been in the course of the few last days, He was in hopes that Southwark would have had the first proud victory ; but, however, he was happy to say that Dover had outstrii.ped them, and sent a Tory to the right about.—(Cheers.) The instant Sir John Rae Reid en tered that town, a black flag—the signal of a pirate-- (Laughter)—was hoisted, and he instantly turned hack. —(Ctteers.) There were, therefore, now two good Re formers for that place, and Southwark was about also to return two Reformers. Their cause was sure to succeed ; but he cautioned the people of the exertions made to defeat them. The boroughmongers were making great ex ertions, and he therefore called on the people to use all their exertions ti defeat the oligarchy ; for if they beat tl,e people this time, God knew when they would have another opportunity to fight them again. The borough mongers died hard; every beast died after its own nature, and the boroughmongers, the lowest in public estimation, were determined to die as game as the veriest fox.-- (Loud cheers, and laughter.) The boroughmongers had been hard at work for the last ten days, and were using every means by subscribing money to use in bribes and purchasing seats in Parliament, thinking thereby to beat the King, his Ministers, and the people of the country. But where there was " a pull, a long pull, and a pull altogether," with integrity and virtue to support it, the " pull altogether" would be sure to beat the crew.—(Loud cheers.) No arts that could be devised have been spared by the boroughinongers to defeat this great and glorious measure; moat astonished were they when the Ministers, despite of their predictions, that our magnanimous and patriotic King would desert his people,—great indeed was their astonishment when they found that the King was determined ever ready to stand or fall with his people.—(Loud cheers.) The King had acted a noble parr, and the people would do no less than follow his example.—(Cheers.) Now, for the first time in their lives, perhaps, in the history of this country, had the King proved himself the real friend of hi+ people, and was believed to be so by every man in the kingdom except by the boroughmongers.—(Loud cheeers.) When the faction found they were defeated, they resorted to every means of oppt obrium, to every measure that infatuated mor tals could devise for the purpose of defeating the measure; they declared it was treason, and that Ministers ought to be impeached. Who, he asked, should impeach them? Would the people of England ?—(Lowl cries of " No.") The owners of Gatton and Old Sarum might perhaps draw up articles of impeachment, but they would find no body to second them.—(Laughter and cheers.) They wished to excite the people by saving it would disfranchise all freemen who did not hold a house of 101. a year; that was a falsehood ; for the Bill would not disfranchise any one except the non-resident freemen.—(Cheers.)-- The Hon. Gentleman then adverted to the letter of Mr. Spencer Perceval' inserted in the Times, in which that gentleman accused the Lord Chancellor in no measured terms of falsehood, in asserting that the House of Com mons had stopped the supplies ; he declared that the term applied by the writer of that letter to the Lord Chancellor would be better applied to him, the writer ; for as the ordnance estimates came on according to an order of the dry, and Mr. Bankes moved an adjournment of the House, that was a virtual stoppage of the supplies. Among the enemies of the Reform Bill, none w ts more active than Sir Robert Peel; Sir Robert was no fool—(Laughter)--and while in office lie was always open to conviction; he was at first an enemy to the Catholic claims, but, owing to the agitated state of Ireland, he became convinced of the necessity of the measure, and he proposed its adoption, and it was carried by the forbearance of the reformers; the consequence was that lie continued in office. Would the reformers of Engl tnd now be satisfied if the Reform Bill was not carried ?—(Cries of " No.") It was impossible for Sir Rob-rt not to be convinced that born one end of the kingdom to the other the measure was loudly called for, and if Sir Robert were now in office he would use that very argument. Sir Robert was not a reformer, becaueetheßillwoulfl produce revolution, or cut off the King's head, but because he was no longer, nor was he ever likely, to be again a Minister of the Crown.—(Loud cheers.) If the present Ministers were turned out, which God avert, and Sir R. Peel should come in, it would not be 100 years before he would himself propose such a plan of Reform—(Cheers and laughter)—so hgh was his (Mr. Brougham's) opinion of Sir Robert's love of self and I?ve of office. AM one. the devices used to defeat the measure was the active canvassing now carrying on by high and learned personages, no less than Judges of the land.—(Cries of " shame," and name.") He would not name them, because they had already suffi ciently disgraced their station, and let their own punish ment be that of their own consciences. —(Cheers.) The lion. Gentleman proceeded to thank the electors for having elected him to the high and distinguished office of their re presentative, and said they might be sure he was no place hunts, for he held a situation already which rendered it impossible fir him to accept office under any set of 111;ni.ters ; after again repeating his fixed delerminaticn to vote for Reform, economy, re• trenchment of the public expenditure, and reduction of taxation, so as to mike every article cheap, and to afford more labour to the working classes, he retired amidst the most enthusiastic cheering. There being no other candidate, the High Bailiff called for a show of hands, which of course was in fivour of the above gentlemen, whom the High 13aiiiff:d;Iaredtoce duly elected. The Members then bri, fly returned thanks. A Mr. WALKER addressed the meeting, with a view of putting a motion to the effect that the useless and un- necessary ceremony of chairing the Members shoul i be dispensed with, hut the majority of the meeting was Strongly opposed to the ()mission of that favourite elec tioneer.ng display of music and riot. Thanks were then voted to the High Bailiff for his attention to the requisitions of the electors upon all occa- sions. The High Bailiff having returned thanks the meting quietly dispersed. THE INEW PARLIAMENT. MEMBERS RETURNED. STEYNING. DOVER. G. R. Phillips Right Hon. C. P. Thomson Edward Blount Capt. Robert Henry Stanhope DRURY-LANE THEATRE. A new historical play, in five acts, from the pen of Mr. SitERMAN KNOWLES, and entitled A?fred, or the Pstridt Aing, was last night performed at this theatre. It was well written, well acted, (particularly by Miss PHILLIPS) and will, we doubt not, have a run. The house was full. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. The Loan CHANCELLOR, the LORD CHIEF Jusiic of the Court of Common Pleas, and the Loan CHIEF BARON, sat at ten o'clock to hear arguments in the case of Wright v. Tatham, which was en appeal from a decision of the present Master of the Rolls, refusing a new trill. The question was, whether a gentleman of forune, named Marsden, who resided in Lancashire, (and died in 1826) was competent to make a will at the time he made. his testamentary document or not? An issue was directed by the Court of Chancery which was tried at York, and the Jury had found him cornpos mentis. Admiral Tatham applied for a new trial, which his Honour had refused to order, and hence the present dis cussion. Sir JAMES SCARLETT for the appellant, and Mr. Por.Locr for the respondent, appeared as the common law—Mr. DIICKWORTH and Mr. JAcos as the equity counsel. The Marquis of EXETER scruples at no thing in conducting the elections at Stamford. Besides the thirty-six boxers who were sent from London, three hundred more have been hired at seven shillings. They are armed with large sticks or staffs. A regular battle takes place every evening, and hitherto the borough mongers' party have been well pommelled. Money, beer, meat, promises, and more especially threats, are dealt out in profusion by the Noble Marquis. Confident hopes are nevertheless entertained that he will be signally defeated.-- (From a Correspondent.)
