The forty. second anniversary of this benevolent society was on Wednesday held at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-street, the LORD CHANCELLOR in the chair. The Noble and Learned Lord entered the hall at half oast six o'clock amidst as enthusiastic a demonstration of heartfelt and affectionate respect as we ever witnessed.— His Lordship was accompanied by the Duke of Somerse , , the Attorney-General, Mr. Sotheby, Sir Martin Arts Shee, the Rieht Hon. Robert Grant, the Rev. Mr. 1 161. man, &c. Ample justice having been done to an excel lent and admirably served-up dinner, the " grace," Bene diet us sit Deus suis, was executed by Messrs. Broadhurst Chapman, Goulden, and Hobbes, and Masters Hopkins and Gissing. The Noble CHAIRMAN then rose and said that he wished -o propose a toast which ought to be received every wher. throughout these realms with the deepest veneration, but which must here he hailed with peculiar satisfaction. He then proposed " The health of his Majesty King William , she Fourth," which was drank with four times four, and immense applause. " God save the King" was then executed in a very impressive style. The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The Queen and the rest of the Royal Family." Drank with three times three and loud applause. Glee (B6hop)—" Here's a health to the King and the Queen." The CirAIRNIAN next proposed " The Navy and the Army." Received with loud cheers. The novel circum etance of plaeing the " wooden walls " first in the toast, gave universal satisfaction. Air—" Rule Britannia." The CHAIRMAN said, the toast to which he was now about to call their attention, he was confident would lead to that reception amongst those whom he had the honour of addressing, which the occasion of their assembling and its own high claim to respect, unquestionably called for. He nye to move a toast that would express the anxiety of the company for the perpetuation of, and their zealous good wishes for, the prosperity of this benevolent society. (Applause.) He was sure that he should perform a most unnecessary, and therefore a most ungrateful task, if he de tained the company many minutes in sounding the praises of that institution, because he was sure that there was nn person, however slight the attention which be might have paid to the objects of the society—however ignorant he might be of the habits, merits, talents, and vicissitudes of literary men—but must feel how peculiarly expedient, not to say neces , ary, it was, to establish and support such an in stitution as this. It was an institution whose great and good object was to relieve a class of men dignified by the most exalted gifts of mind—possessed of the highest and brightest capacity—endowed with virtues of the finest character — virtues cherished in solicitude, and which, above all things, rendered imperative their claim on the consideration of their country and their kind ; it was to relieve such men, when the hand of penury and misfortune pressed severely on them, that the society was f o unded. —(Applause.) Such a society was the more necessary, because the indi viduals to whom he had alluded were gifted—if one might not almost say, cursed—with a spirit of jealous indepen dence, which not only prevented them from asking succour, but even from disclosing their situation to those who best knew them.--(Applause.) Seeing them gifted with such capacities,. knowing them to be endowed with such virtues, beingrendered d well nn l i awa e r n eof try athend to mankind,exaltedsery services which no iehthey one totl would deny that they were objects who demanded deep commiseration and active benevolence, when they were overtaken by the shafts of adversity.—(Applause.) The history of this institution, which had seen two-and-forty summers, short though its date might be (and that date had passed during times of an extraordinary nature, both in a political and civil point of view), had shown, that relief had been afforded, through the exertions of those by whom it was supported, to sonie of the highest, and, he would say, the noblest eiernes that had for a long period adorned the annals of literature. He here spoke rather of former times than of the present. He believed that some of the men to whom he had referred had be - en rescued in the most delicate manner, by the efforts of the society, from penury and distresas and had been restored to that state of splendour from which they had fallen, and to which their virtues and their merits so well entitled them. —(Applause.)—He had already observed that there ex isted amongst men of literary habits a jealous indepen dence, which rendered it most difficult to afford them any assistance, without wounding their constitutional—their sensitive delicacy. He therefore, as one,—and he would say, as a most humble individual,—should reproach him self deeply, if he did not at once, eagerly, and joyfully, and proudly stand forward to aid the efforts of this soc:ety, in extending, in the most delicate, in the most considerate manner, assistance to those whose genius des- reed admi ration, and whose misfortunes demanded succour.—(Ap plause.)—He here might, perhaps, be allowed to notice a topic, which every succeeding anniversary of th a institu tion necessarily called before them, he meant the subject of literary " patronage." He held,—without in the slightest degree meaning to undervalue the generous as 'istance which the powerful, the noble, and the wealthy, afforded to men of genius,—he held, still entertaining the greatest deference for the assistance th it was ministered from those quarters, that the patron, the great the ap pointed patron of literary men, was the public.—(Cheers.) —When the public gave their patronages it was not a matter of charity, it was not a Matter of eleemosynary aid —no; the public, which had a consideration for their patronage (if a professional man might be allowed to use a professional phrase),—the public, which had a fine, and valuable, and good consideration, in that which they could only receive at the bands of the literary portioa of the community—they were, in the eye of sense and reason, the true, the great, and he hoped they would permit him to add, the all. powerful patron of men of mind arid genius. Dr. Johnson had said, " that the book sellers were their patrons." Now, the remark lie was about to make, he hoped would not be considered hard, as coming from him, and would not he taken in bad part by his Hon. Ftiends, the patrons to whom Dr. Johnson had alluded, some of whom he saw in the room, and whose patronage he did not by any means intend to disavow,— he hoped they would not be offended, if, instead of speak • ing of them, he spoke of the public, whose servants or agents they were.—(Applause.) In his opinion, Dr. Johnson, when he made the observation to which he re ferred, proceeded on the constitutional principle, which induced men always, when speaking of public acts, to keep the Monarch out of sight, and to refer every thing to the Ministers of the Crewn.—(Cheers.) Taking this view of the subject, he would contend that it was only as the Ministers of the public that the booksellers were said to be the true patrons of men of genius.—(Cheers.) They were the useful, vigorous, and active Ministers of that great Sovereign, the public, and be believed that no body of men could serve that potentate more nwoinslrte ofd t se h artvti ing, g s ra h c o i t t i l l i d is b lV e ion a a l w rc a h y , s honestly or more f a i t h fully.—(Applause.) He sincerely whom as we he ll a n haddfatithhefubloly servud by those whom he selected to sit in his councils, as the public were served by those ministers, who were so intimately connected with the literary world; for they, generally speaking, act e d w i t h a str i ct regard for justice towards the public on the one hand, and with a feeling of honour and liberality towards men of genius on the other. —(Cheers.) He meant, as he had before said, to utter nothing disparaging to the patronage granted to men of genius by the noble and the wealthy; hut, anxiously de siring to see the literary character thoroughly indepen dent, he could not but express his opinion that the first patronage, the last patronage, the only patronage, by which that great end could be successfully achieved, was the patronage of the public.—(Cheers.)—lt was a great pleasure to him, at a season of considerable agitation, to see persons, connected with all parties, meeting together and joining, as it were, in the furtherance of a sacred cause.—(Cheers.) —This appeared to be a place conse crated and set apart for the exercise of the kindest and the most beneficent feelings,—a place where they might meet without controversy or dissentien,—a place in which the violence of strife and of faction being unknown, they might all cheerfully join in one common, useful, and heart felt union, to minister to the wants of indigent and suf fering genius.--(Cheers.)--The Noble and learned Lord concluded by proposing " Prosperity to the Literary Fund." The toast was'drank With acclamations. The report of the society for the past year was then read. It appeared from it that the society was in a flou rishing state. Many deserving individuals had been re lieved during the year, but the funds,ehough not so great as in some former years, were yet considerable. The Rev. Mr. Caeweav expatiated at some length, and =Mr /7. a 10 it r - d' y ,z7r - 7;7 77 ~ . - ' ,- =2 . .41. .....-- :,-;-;-• .. , 1 ( ( - : I ~- ,A , ,c,:---, 1 , • 04.2 - __E- t t - ~- 4; ,4,—..A.' d1 1 °":4;: ' ''''. 6 -.

LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 13, 1831. with considerahle eloquence, ou the duties of the society Lod drew a very affecting picture of the diflieadties whirl freatened, and the misfortunes which frequently assailed. he aspirants after literary fame. The CHAIRMAN then. proposed the health of " Th. fluke of Somerset, the patron of the society," which wa• !rank with much fervour. • The Duke of SOMERSET returned thanks in a very few words. - The CHAT MAN then ploposed " Prosperity to th. Roy tl Society." The next toast was " Mr. Sotheby, and the Poets o! Great Britain." Mr. SOTHEBY returned thanks. In proposing the health of Sir M. A. Shee, the Pres-- lent of the Royal Academy, the Chairman passed a vet- ) high compliment on the attainments of that gentleman. Sir M. A. Suer, in returning thanks, expressed tin great pleasure which he felt at seeing in the chair, advo •ating the cause of literature and of charity, an individual whose large and comprehensive powers placed him in dm very first rank of men as a philosopher, a statesman, al, orator, and a lawyer.—(Cheers.) The PRESIDENT next gave the health of the Judge Advo cate-General, the Right Hon. Robert Grant, and the Uni versity of Oxford, which was drank with much applause.`, Mr. R. GRANT, in returning thanks, observed, that his Noble and Learned Friend had made a mistake, as he (Mr. Grant) was educated at Camhridge.—(Laughter.) How ever, it mattered little, for the distinctions between the two Universities were growing fainter and fainter every day. The CHAIRMAN said, he had been reminded by his Right Hon. Friend that he had just made an unintentional blunder, and, in order to set himself right, he would, therefore, make a blunder, with malice aforethought.— His Right Honourable Friend hail very truly ob served, that the differences between those two illustrious rivals, Oxford and Cambridge, were hourly becoming more and more faint. He should, therefore, propose—•" The Rev. Mr. Millman, and the University of Cambridge."-- (Cheers and laughter.) Mr. Ithwtart briefly returned thanks. The CHAtamms then proposed the health of the Attor nev-Genenil, which was loudly applauded. The ATfORNEr• GENERAL returned thanks, and called on the comp iny to do honour to the health of their Noble and Learned Chairman. The toast was drunk with enthusiasm. The CHAIR -MAX, in a very short address, returned thanks for the honour which had been conferred on him by so highly respectable an assembly. He soon afterwards vacated the chair, and the company separated. MODERATE REFORM-CORNISH PLAN. Nc quid foci fiat. 'strut NI I S.-Scrupulously to respect all vested rights, save only those which have fallen into desuetude, such as the rights conferred of old by _Magna Charta, which being cointuon to seventeen millions of people, the viola tion thereof can in no sort be regarded as a spoliation or invasion of private property. This is to be the "principle" of our Bill. Secondly—To ex.ilt half-a-dozen of the large manufac turing towns (Birmingham, and such like) to an equality with Gatton, by giving them a right to send representatives to Parliament. Said towns to be previously indulged with a Charter and a Corporation, in the Members of which the privilege of electing burgesses shall reside. Thirdly—Old Sarum, and all other old boroughs, to be enlarged with the growing intelligence of the age, so that in future no Hon.

Fourthly—Any borough to be hereafter found guilty of gross bribery and corruption shall take in a hundred ad ditional voters from the neighbourhood, with whom the plunder of all succeeding elections must be divided, share and shire alike. Fifthly—No King to dissolve any future Parliament without its own consent until it shall have attained the full age of five years. S xthly—To save the time of the House, and avoid un profitable and iri hating discussion, any question once fairly got rid of must not be brought forward again, in any shape, during the continu-ince of the then existing Parliament. Seventhly—This arrangement to be final ; and any g..ntleinan, after the passing of the same, who shall presum e to insinuate that tie constitution of the House is cor rupt or imperfect, shall be deemed guilty of a gross breach of order, and suffer a reprimand at the foot of the Chair.

Half an hour had scarcely elapsed after I had nu .ny last to you of the 27. h nit. in the post-offict. ,vhen the King departed this life. The breath ha , lardlv time to escatre, when a proclamation w;, , mated up at the different public streets from the Governor of Turin. The whole garrison was iv pd e kly assembled at the Great Square of the Pa ace; the whole of the Senators and public flint , iorraries had met at the late, King's Palace, ;It whole of whom took the oaths of allegiance t, Charles Albert ; aft: • which Charles Albert, wit) the heads of departments, sat down to a supeil dinner in the same Palace. All this was execute , with a despatch the most remarkable, the excuse to for which is, that the times demanded it. Be thi rs it may, nothing could excuse the Governor (0 1 .rather, I should stty.more properly„ Charles Albert) fur inserting in the Proclamation a eel-lain passag,, which has given universal disgust here, and serve. out as a had omen for the future; the least the sa_obe.said-of it is, that it i 3 in extreme bad taste. I give you the translation : " PROCLAMATION. " After a long and painful illness, endured unto th , last moment with the most religious and heroic fortitud ,, Divine Providence called to himself his Majesty the Kim Charles Felix, and leaves to his Majesty Charles Alberi the example of his virtues and paternal affection for hi people. Let us bless that Divine Providence that give , us a successor, a King in the vigour of his age, whoa, talents, thoughts, and occupations were always devoted to that which one day was to make the happiness of his sub jects. To our tears for the most excellent King, we ought to add our most grateful thanks for the King that God ha , destined to reign over these countries. whose national valour shone so brilliantly in Spain. We ask the aid of his omnipotent arm, as all his subjects when required would sacrifice their lives for the defence of his throne. " The Governor and Field-Marshal " Turin, April 27. " TEIAON-REVEL." It was hoped that Charles Albert would have issued a Proclamation of general amnesty in favour of ?he exiles, but these " maledetti paroli de cui natio vulorespecco brilliantissimi in hpagna," ha' e destroyed all hope. Universal gloom pervades the public mind, and the death of the late King is uni versally deplored: even the Liberals exclaim, " Ve ramente era tat buon diovolo." His corpse was yesterday conveyed to the Palazzo di Madona in the great square of the Palace. I have just seen the coffin at this moment lying in state. It was the particular wish of the late King that his body should net be embalmed and exposed, and that it should be conveyed to Altacomba, in Savoy, to be buried in the cemetery of his ancestors. It will lie here until Monday next, when it will be removed for that place.. It is not a little remarkable, that all the particular events of -his life should have occurred in the month of April. He was born on the 6th of April, mar ried on the 6th of April, ascended the throne on the 19th of April, and died on the 27th of April. The new King is intensely occupied in public afftirs, which he commences at five o'clock in the morning. The widowed Queen Maria Teresa leaves Genoa on Monday next, for her country Palace, near Turin. Afrer the departure of the remains of the late King, a Proclamation will be issued by the new one. The public anxiety is great on this sub ject. You shall hear from me the moment this Pro. clamation is issuel SIERRA LEONE.

In December last, his Majesty's brig, Plumper, sent her boats up the river Pongas, in search of slavers which infe.t that river. They returned with a schooner and 35 slaves; but dearly did the brave fellows suffer for their humanity. Soon after the return of the Plumper to Sierra Leone, sickness broke out am on g her crew.

The letters g o on to mention others, and then add that the master, ma's, and every man formi ng t h e crew of the Shakespeare, a merchant vessel, died in two months after their arrival, the second mare being the only survivor out of twenty persons who left England! The Shakespeare left this Golgotha on the 3d of January last, with an entirely new crew. In the Nallacourie river, close to the colony, there was another vessel lying , with every man on b oard dead or dYing• `Meat will Zachary Macaulay say in answer to these facts, which we defy him to deny ? The colony, from first to last, is a humbug on the public, got up by knaves and hypocrites to serve their own s elfish ends; and it adds to our lo a thi ng t heir we find the names of religion and humanity pr ostituted in such a cause. We say, without fear of contr adit:tiori, that, despite the exertions of the authorities in this place of death, slave-dealing is carried on to a great extent by the colonists them selves, four-and-twenty of whom have this very year been tried f or the off ence ; three of tha t num ber being merchant s o f wea l t h , and , before their de tection, of apparent respectability, In consequence of the charge of the Chief Jt istice last year, the sub stance of which we then published in the Brighton Gazette, a Commission, we are happy to l earn , h as been sent out by the Secretary of State to inquire into the prevalence of the slave trade in the colony; and when the report of that Commission is made public, we hop e and believe our countrymen will have their eyes opened st on this subject.

All is perfectly quiet at Ostend and in the environs, The Dutch, while raising new works about Sluis, remain quiet. There proves to be great distress on that side from the enormous contributions that have been levied. Yesterday there was great agitation in the city. Nu merous groups were formed in the Grand Place, the PkOace Royal, and about the residence of the Regent. The whole of the civic guard was under arms, and numerou, detachments even of cavalry pttroled the streets all night. We are not sufficiently certain of the causes of this agita tion, of which every body speaks accord►ng to his passion, to tell our readers to what it tends. "iThe Orangeists," says the Independent, " report that M. Tielmans, at the head of the Nation it Association, is going this evening to proclaim the Republic. The 0 1 4 object of this absurd report is to hinder the election of that honourable citizen. We advise the electors not to give any credit to this miserable falsehood, and be on their guard against manoeuvres, the object of which is to endanger the success of our glorious revolution." Baron d'Hoogvorst, commander-in-chief of the National Guards, has addressed a proclamation to our citizens, in which he says—" Strangers, enemies to our Constitution and our tranquillity, endeavour to excite popular conuno tions, but the Civic Guard is on the watch ; faithful to the . country and to its oaths, it i s reso l ve d t o p re serve, by a ll means, the present order of things."

Or examining her papers they fe tt rul hat she vessel belonged to a Frenchman, and Wa' mployed in the slave trade. England does no' tterfere with the French vessels employed- in thi, afamous traffic; and there is now a company of ifench merchants at Nantes, who have entered into • contract to supply the West Indies with thist, - hom , and slaves annually ! It being steady dark, the crew of the CoVid were shout to return to that vessel, the Frenchman hay ng previously produced his slaves (about fifiy-one) wd he was actually sending them'helow, when on, ,f them--ran towards the Chief Justice, and said, Massal . Massa ! ! me Sierra Leone Buy ! me King's Boy-P' (The name by which the manumitted regroes are known.) The Chief Justice imme lively turned to the Frenchman, and claimed the. ag an English subject. On examining the boy .e ascertained there was another English subject below, whom he also instantly claimed; and subse piently two others were found. Having made roper enquiries, the Chief Justice discovered that wo of these unfortunate beirrgs htt&indeed been berated at Sierra Leone, and that some of the •olonists had kidnapped, and again handed them 'vet- to slavery. On his arrival at Sierra Leone, -o which place he returned, he immediately hart hese colonists taken into custody, and committed hem for trial. The French ship he also advised the Governor of Sierra Leone to send, with her master ind crew and remaining slaves, to the French colony it Gores, in order to be dealt with according to the laws of Frame. It does appear monstrous that the French should dare thus to receive British subjects,—for emanci pated slaves are, to all intents and purposes, British subjects,—who have been kidnapped in our colonies. The facts here narrated will, no doubt, make some noise ; but t here can be only one opinion as to the conduct of the Chief Justice, which has done him great honour. Very little is known in Europe of the Moorish towns in Barbary, and still less of the villages in the inte rior of that country ; and on this account the recently pub -I;shed travels in Spain and Morocco of Sir A RTHUR BROOKE possess unusual attraction in the eyes of readers of all classes.

LLOYD'S FIELD SPORTS.—A second edition of this work, which has been pronounced " one of the most valuable productions ever given to the sporting world," has just made its appearance. It has the advant age of much additional matter, as well as of several new plates. The particulars relative to the natural scenery, manners and customs of Sweden and Norway—the mode of destroying wild beasts in Sicalls—the chase of the bear, the wolf, the &k, &c.—and indeed the whole detail of the author's personal adventures will be perused not only with great satisfaction by the sportsman, but must in terest all classes of readers. There are no less than twenty-three characteristic embellishments of this delight ful work. AFFAIR or HONOUR.—Mr. STEELE and Mr. CHARLES 'MAHON. —A letter has been 'eeceived in town communicating the following circumstances, which every friend of the country must deplore :—Mr. Steele received a " Terry Alt's" notice, warning him against any opposition to O'GORMAN MAHON. He charged O'GoaaaAN MAtiox with being concerned in it. Mr. CHARLES MAHON told , him it was a lie. An immediate meeting was the consequence ; but when the hostile parties were on the ground, O'GORMAN MAHON was for tunately apprised of it, and by his timely interposition prevented their firing. He insisted on taking his brother off the ground, say ing that the quarrel was his, and should he fought by him. Mr. STEELE, through his friend, said that 0 1 GoamArt MAHON might make th e quarrel his owu after, but the latter would not allow his brother, on any account to fight. So the matter rested when the last account left. It is melancholy to see gen• tlemen of the same principles thus circumstanced, parti cularly when all parties are the friends of the people. We sincerely trust some humane friends interfere and prevent fatal results.—Dublin Morning Register. The result of the elections having rendered the question of Reform quite irresistible, it is rumoured that some of its warmest opponents in the last Parliament are beginning to beat about, with a view of finding some colourable excuse for a convenient change of opinion —in other words, a sort of re-peal. On Monday last the body of a man named CRUIESITA NES, which had been found in the river De veron, as mentioned in our Paper some weeks since, and which had been interred in the churchyard of Alva, was taken up in the presence of Dr. JAMES SMITH, Banff, and other medical gentlemen, by order of a warrant from the Procurator Fiscal. The reason of the exhumation was, a report that had gone abroad of the unfortunate man's hav ing been murdered. After examination, the medical gen. tlemen reported that there were marks of violence on several parts of his body, and that the neck had been dis located in two places; that, in short, their opinion was that the mar' had been murdered. A person suspected of being concerned in the murder was imprisoned in Banff gaol on Sunday last; but, as a precognition is new going or, it would he improper to say more on the subject at present.—Elgin Courier. FEMALE PATRIOTISM.--During Colonel Ihty EN'S unsuccessful peregrinations through Carlow since his arrival, he called at the house of one of his con stituents, who had given him his vote on a former occa sion. Not meeting with the gentleman into whose favour he was desirous of ingratiating himself, he accosted his daughter, when the following conversation ensued Colonel Bruen—Pray, Madam, is your father at home • Miss—No; what are your commands, Sir? Colonel Bruen—l want to solicit his vote. Miss—Are you a Refornier to the extent of Lord John Russell'6 Bill? Colonel Bruen—l cannot say that I am. bliss—Then I will not detain you, but merely to assure you that you shall not have my father's vote. He ;hall never vote zga nst his country. The Hon. Gentleman h.stily departed, no doubt mor tified at the feeling and indignation which pervaded the female portion of the community on his declared hostility to their country._ Cork Southern Reporter. A well-dressed fellow, who sometimes calls himself JOHN CAMPBELL, Esq., but changes the name to suit his purposes, has been for the last month or six weeks playing off a trick upon respectable tradesmen in the city. He usually dresses in a well-built black frock, and wears a chain round his neck, and sometimes a very compact set of mustachios. He watches a house until be sees the principal leave it, between f►ur and five o'clock, for the country, and then in he walks, asks for the gentle man, expresses surprise and regret at not finding his friend at home, and contrives to " victimize" the clerk or ware houseman of 31. or 41., by way of a loan " until next day." Just after Mr. KNATCHBULL, of the firm of KNATCHBULL, RULE, and Co., of Gracechurch street, had left his counting-house some days ago, JOHN CAMP.. BELL, Esq., went in, and asked in a hurry whether his friend Mr. KNATCHBULL was disengaged; and upon being told that he had just gone away for the day, said, " Dear me, I am sorry for that; fur as I am in the neighbour hood, lie might, if he was here, oblige me a little. " Per haps, Sir," said the principal clerk, " we can do it for you. Is it any thing that I Oh, it doesn't s ig n ify," said Mr. CAMPBELL " and yet—the fact is, I owe a bill in this neighbourhood, and lam minus I find Si." " Oh, don't say a word about it, Sir," said the clerk, putting his hand into his pocket, and pulling outra 51. note, " I don't happen to have sovenigns about me, but here is a note."—" Very good, very good," observed Mr. CAMPBELL, " I shall drop in with it in the course of to-morrow." Mr. CAMPBELL repeated his experi ments, with like success, at four other places in the city within the last few days, and has as yet eluded the vi lance of the police." • I GENERAL ELECTION. D QR CHESTER, 11f4 SECOND DAY. The polling has gone on rapidly to•day; The Bankites have made great, bat unsuccessful , eff o rr a to head Mr. Calcraft on the poll. For this . purpese he y have polled several of their leading gentry. Mr. Bankes tendered his vote for his father, but it was objected to, on the ground that he held the office of Cursitor Baron of the Exchequer under the Crown, and Ws3 therefore a Government officer. The objection was, however, subsequently aban doned. With all these efforts they are still in a. minority on ;he day's pull. As - the contest lies en tirely between Mr. Bankes and Mr.•Calcraft, and as Mr. Portman is considered in every quarter secure•of 'tis return, the passions of the people divide them selves between Mr. Bankes and Mr. Calcraft, and thus the name of Mr. Portman is less heard in the streets and about the hustings than that of either of the two other candidates. The popular enthusiasm is decidedly in favour of Mr. Calcraft, as the organ of Reform. As a proof of it, I may men ion that flpyreiiplgtue to support the cause espnos by fifty of the power fiee' of lefts came from the neigh itourhood of Wareham entirely at their ownexpense. They would no t even accept from the com mitt e e an y refreshm en t s , w hil s t i n Dorchester, stating tha t they had b roug h t t h e i r own v i ctua ls with them, and enough to buy f o r eac h man a pint of beer. The same enthu s i asm h as b een ex hibited by, the free holders r es id ent i n t h e I s l e o f P or tl a nd . They are nearly all sailors, m a o r r i l d tin shout . t o h r e te ir t i l u tr i e 'd j r a e :• i k ( e ' t f s, th a e m n 1 with flags came here thi s ed e their patriotic g. their T he yo re wtefars made rtlte c 3 e.o attdi e t ia tes who were y in the Assessor's booth a decision to which it maybe !useful to give publicity, for the sake of its consequences .n other counties where contests are now pend ng. The Protestant Dissenters are well known as friends of Reform, acd of every other liberal mea sure. One of their clergymen, who has been ap pointed to efficiate in one of their chapels IT the trustees, in whom the property of the cl-apel is vested, claimed a right to vote on account of his freehold in his pulpit. He proved, by one of the trustees, that he could not be removed from his .si tuation as minister of that chapel without his own consent, and that it was worth mat.) , 40s. a year to him. Af er some argument, the assessor admitted his right to vote, and his vote was accordingly re ceived. If this decision should be held valid, it is thought that nearly 5,000 additional freeholders will be added to the constituent body of the different counties. At half-past five o'clock the High Sltetiffdeclared the state of the day's poll; after which Mr. PORTMAN came to the front of the hustings, and was received with the loudest cheers. He had again, he said, the proud satisfaction of thanking the freeholders for their kindness in still continuing him at the head of the poll. He little thought that when he had last year undertaken, for the amusement of the county, an occupation then new to him, hut an occupation of which he trusted that he should not be ignorant next 'year—he meant the management of a pack of fox-hounds—he little thought, lie re peated, that he should receive a lesQon upon .the hustings as to the sort of hound which he ought not to draught.—(Laughter.) He had been instructed upon those hustings that the sort of bound he ought to cherish was the dog which went straightforward after the fox, and which would proceed, when he had the fox in his burrow to dig him out.—(Cheers and laughter.) That was the sort of hound which they had taught him to keep. —(Cheers.) He hoped that they would still continue to teach him his ditty as a fox-hunter, by keeping him as their candidate at the head of the poll. Mr. CALCRAVT, on coming forward, met with the most enthusiastic reception. He was perfectly sa tisfied with the situation in which they had placed him upon the day's poll. They hall made no great effort that day ; their opponents had; and yet they had a majority both of the day's poll and on the gross poll.—(Cheers.) Mr. BANKES rose amid some confusion, and cries of " Hear him,—hear his last dying speech?' He assured them that while so large a portion of the county remained unpolled as did at present, he was SO far from feeling discouragemere, that he felt justly and confidently a most assured hope of his own eventual and ultimate success.—( Cheers and hisses.) Mr. RUTTER then came forward to address the freeholders. He would appeal to the past conduct of Mr. Batikes, and would ask the freeholders of Dorsetshire whether his sentiments had ever coin cided with theirs ? or whether he had shown by his votes any regard to the i n t eres t s o f e ith er the middling or the lower classes ?—(Cries of "Never.") Had Mr. Bankes's opposition to the repeal of the salt tax been for their advantage? Certainly not. Had his opposition to the repeal of the leather tax been for their advantage ? Certainly not. Had his opposition to the repeal of the coal tax been for their good ? Certainly not.—(immense cheering ) Had his conduct on the game laws been for their good ? Mr. Bankes, as they all knew, bad sup ported a law by which a man who committed murder upon a hare or pheasant was more severely punished than the man who spilled human blood.—(Cheers.) What bad Mr. Bankes's conduct been with regard to the Test and Corporation Acts ? Look at edu cation. Mr. Bankes had opposed the diffusion of it with all his strength ; and well he might, for now he felt that the schoolmaster was abroad, and that he was strong enough to defeat even his tricks.— (Cheers and laughter.) He should not detain them longer at present than was necessary to congratulate them upon the majority which they had acquired on behalf of King, William, of the Constitution, and of their country.—(Cheers.) The different candidates then returned home. As Mr. Calcraft was entering the town of Dor chester, the carts which had brought 1.50 freeLolders from the Isle of Portland that morning, caused a slight interruption to his progress. The sailors who had come in them gave Mr. Calcraft three hearty cheers, and, resuming their places, formed a pro cession which led him into the town. We under stand that Mr. Bankes has not been able to obtain more than 40 votes in the whole of that island. I have just heard an anecdote which may amuse some of your readers. The mail from Exeter, to London passes through this town at four o'clock for London. To give publicity to the success of the Reforming candidates, the state of the poll, at four o'clock, was chalked upon the mail. A Clergyman of the came of Bobbins, who, like the rest of his cloth in this county, is a thick-and-thin supporter of Mr. Bankes, had the foolhardiness to go, in the pre sence of the multitude, and rub out the numbers. They were of course much exasperated, and hooted the reverend gentleman no little. They ab,tained, however, from all personal violence, and contented themselves with re-writing the obnoxious figui es. , It happened that the reverend gentleman was leaving Dorchester by the same mail. As soon as he got ii', one of the mob declared his intention of giving " the rook of a parson" a little parting advice. He ac cordingly went to the window of the mail coach, and intruding his head, said loud enough to be heard by all around, " Thou black Aug, let me advise thee to practise the doctrines thou preachest. Go home, fear God, honour the King, arid come not again to Dorchester to thwart his wishes." Mr. Bobbins made no reply, but waited in mute patience for the crack of the whip which was to take him out of the neighbourhood of such a crew of radical, seditious, and blasphemous Reformers, for I have no doubt that such will be the terms in which he will stig matize them when he recounts the adventures of the day to a sympathizing host of his colleagues ill orthodoxy. The day has passed off in the utmost tranquillity.
