Not withstanding the probability of the burgesses of this town bein g depr,ved of their franchises, at least that their posterity may, they have shown in the warm and enthusiastic reception given unanimoiAly to the two gentlemen mentioned, their thorough conviction of the propriety under the present circumstances of the country, of sacrificing all their claims to the public good._ You will already have heard from the Hull Packet that Mr. Schonswar arrived here on Sunday, and addressed the burgesses in an animated harangue on Monday afternoon. Mr. Wrightson did not arrive till yesterday, having been detained in London by business. He addressed a large concourse of persons imme diately on his arrival, by whom he was received with the greatest cordiality. This morning, at ten o'clock, hustings having been erected at the usual place, opposite the Mansion-house, the Court was opened in due form by W. H. Barkwarth, Esq. Sheriff; T. W. Gleadon, Esq., in a brief but appropriate address, proposed Mr. Schonswar. H. Blundell, Esq., in seconding the motion, went more at length into the merits and services during the late short Parliament of Mr. Schonswar. W. Bourne, Esq., proposed Mr. Wrightson, and was seconded by Thomas Thompson, Esq., soli citor. Mr. Schonswar then addressed the freemen in one of the most bold and manly speeches it ever fell to our lot to hear, and delivered with an efrect that was at times electrifying. - A quota tion on the subject of independence, although spoken to an audience, vast numbers of whom were rough unlettered men, was cheered with the greatest ardour, and with a responsiveness of feeling which showed in spite of the calumnies of interested bo roughmongers that Englishmen of all grades know and value their civil liberties. Mr. Wrightson spoke next, and was loudly cheered in many of his remarks upon the attempts at getting rid of the Reform Bill. Every allusion to the name of his Majesty was received with the most devoted expressions of love and loyalty, and at the termination of the proceedings three times three cheers were given for the King. The two candidates having concluded their addresses the Sheriff; in the usual way, asked if there were any others to come forward. The populace cried "We want no more; we have two good ones." Ai . twelve; ; clock Mr. Wrightson was chaired, and at the close of the ceremony again addressed the freemen. Mr. Schonswar was chaired at three, and also addressed the freemen again. Mr. Wrightson remarked, in regard to Reform, that the first blow was struck, as Hull would be the first town that returned Mem bers for the new Parliament, and both were devoted to Reform. In regard to the neighbouring town of Beverley, Mr, Capel Cure declines to come forward. Mr. Burton and Mr. W. Mar shall stand. We learn this morning that Mr. Lane Fox comes forward to oppose Reform. The election is fixed for Saturday. P. A. Packet Office. I should have said that several reports were afloat that one of the corporate bodies of this town evinced some Anti-Reform symptoms, and it was said they had been endeavouring to find a candidate to start with such views ; if so, they did not succeed in meeting with a man bold enough to adventure on such a for. lorn hope in the present temper of the people of this part of the country. WORCESTER, APRIL 29. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The good cause prospers here. Colonel Lygon's party seem to lose confidence already at the brilliant success of Captain Spencer's canvass. Captain - Spencer is a brother of Lord Althorp and of Lady Lyttleton. Wherever he goes he is received with the strongest demonstrations of joy and welcome. Nothing can equal the enthusiasm of the good friends of Reform, nor are the weak attempts of its adversaries likely to be availing. Davies and Robinson are sureof success for our city, and Foley and Spencer will, no doubt, come off triumphantly for the county. Your's in great haste, A TRUE REFORMER AND A SUBSCRIBER TO THE SUN. BERWICK. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The zeal, firmness, and ability, with which your excel lent Journal advocates the cause of Reform, induces me as a favour to request your early insertion of the following : Berwick-upon-Tweed. An address from Lieut.-Colonel Beresford, one of the late re presentatives of the said borough, to the non-resident burgesses (in the Morning Advertiser of this day) calling upon them to support him, in what he terms the defence of their rights and pri vileges, and which from the general tenourof its language, might induce many persons to suppose that an hostile feeling to the measure of Reform existed among the non-resident burgesses, I beg in direct contradiction to this, to say, that there are at least one hundred voters in London, ready and willing to give their vote to any independant gentleman, who may come forward in the cause of Reform ; they are most willing to make any per sonal sacrifice for the advancement of the national cause, con vinced of its absolute necessity and universal benefit. Should Colonel Beresford again be returned for Berwick, known as he and his family are to be determined enemies to Reform, the fault will not rest with the non-resident burgesses. Mr. Editor, your's very respectfully, A NON-RESIDENT BURGESS OF BERWICK UPON-TWEED. CAMBRIDGE, APRIL 29. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—WC have this day had one of the first proofs of that underhand system of boroughmongering influence in the return of two Anti-Reform Members for the town and borough of Cambridge. The Marquis Graham and Colonel Trench, the tools of the Duke of Rutland, were this morning elected by the votes of a few inhabitants of the place, and by some of the Duke's tenants from Cheveley, who, Sir, are the honest, inde pendent electors of a population of upwards of 15,000. Do not, however, for a moment imagine that this has been quietly sub mitted to by the people. Do not suppose that a scene so dis graceful has been looked on with feelings of pleasure. Far other.. wise (I cannot help saying I am sorry to a degree)—far otherwise has been the conduct of the mob. Up to the moment lam now writing the town is a scene of riot and confusion, and we are witnesses ofthe first effects ofretributive justice from the violated feelings of an enraged populace. The effigies of those servile men who have this morning equally degraded themselves and their country, by accepting an election on such terms, have been paraded with acclamation and insult through the town, and burnt with equal hatred and contempt, and the populace, " their vengeance yet unsated," crowd through the streets and breathe nothing but murmurs and threats against the authors of this hateful election. Would to God that the hand of violence may yet be stayed, but should the slightest fuel be added to the smouldering fire, the flame which has been nourished in corrup. tion can only be quenched in blood. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, A CANTAB. BRISTOL, APRIL 29.

BUTLER, Vicar of Kenil*orth. WALLINGFORD, APRIL 29. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, —The first contest for the grand and vital question of Reform, which has just been brought to an issue in this county, has just been decided. The candidates were the late Members, Colonel Hughes and Robert Knight, Esq., two staunch Reformers, and William Blackstone, Esq., a grandson of the celebrated Justice Blackstone, a gentleman of the highest respectability, residing within the borough. Mr. Blackstone was decidedly opposed to the " revolutionary measure "of his Majesty's Ministers. Wal lingford is included in Lord John Russell's schedule 8., but the close of the poll will prove the patriotism of its electors, and their deep sense of the importance and necessity of an efficient Reform. CLOSE OF TILE POLL. Hughes I am, Sir, your obedient servant, J. A. J. THE ILLUMINATIONS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. beg to hand you the enclosed, having taken particular notice of the feeling exhibited in Walworth, and finding that placetotally omitted in the description of the illuminations of last night. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, Apr.l 28. A PEDESTRIAN. WALWORTIi-ROAIL • The residence of Daniel Richardson, Esq., the Under-Sheriff, was most brilliantly illuminated on this occasion. The Columns at the entrance were twisted with variegated lamps, at the top of which was placed a transparency of his Majesty, with the ship Reform at a distance ;at the top was the inscription, William the Great ! God bless him !" and surrounded by scrolls contain. ing tho names Brougham, Russell, &c. The suit of room were lighted by candles, and highly decorated with plants. The hall was thrown open and decorated with shrubs, painted lamps, and two banners, « God save King William and our Native Land." The residence also of Samuel Palmer, Esq., was illuminated by wax flambeaux, and exhibited a brill iaand imposing appearance. Indeed, from the Elephant and Castle to Herne-hill exhibited a scene of she highest gratification to the real friends of Reform. The owner of every house, according to his means, assisted in this general- and just cause of rejoicing. BEDFORD TOWN AND COUNTY. The Bedford Town Election is over. Two Reformers, Mr Whitbread and Mr. Polhill, are elected without opposition. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Slll,-.4 send you a copy of a requisition sent to Sir Peter Payne, Bart., which I beg you will insert in to-morrow's Sun. A liberal subscription has been entered into to defray the expence, and Mr. Stuart, the Anti-Reformer, stands no chance for the county. Committee-Room, Bedford, April 29, 1831. COPY OF A REQUISITION TO SIR PETER PAYNE, BART., NUMEROUSLY SIGNED BY THE FREEHOL DERS OF BEDFORDSHIRE, TOGETHER WITH A COPY OF HIS ANSWER ANNEXED. We, the undersigned, being Freeholders of the County of Bed ford, are anxious to record, in a constitutional manner, our opi nions on the great measure of Reform recently introduced into Parliament by his Majesty's Ministers. We are fully impressed with the belief that the Ministers are honest and have done their duty, that the King is patriotic and has done his duty, and with us will be the disgrace if we do not do ours. Under these circumstances we naturally look for an old and steady Reformer, one whose past life may be a sufficient guaran tee to us, that it will be unnecessary to exact any pledge from him as to his future conduct ; and we earnestly request that you will allow your name to be put in nomination, at the ap proaching election for this County; as we are fully convinced, that every feeling and sentiment of yours is in unison with those of the Reformers of Bedfordshire. We ramain, with the greatest respect, Your faithful servants. ANSWER. GENTLEMEN ,--4 have received your Requisition, and I yield to your wishes. I yield, Gentlemen, though untitted by time of life and deficient in althose qualifications necessary upon such.. an occasion. 1 will not ask wh y you address such a Requisition to me; I know that you must have a name, and my name as a Reformer, as one who is deeply interested in the Constitution, and the Constitutional rights of the People, is known wherever I have lieen known. In the measure which has caused the dissolution of the lat e P arliament I most fervently agree—it is Constitu tional and Anti-Revolutionary ; and if it is merely to assist in theadoption of it, and then to resign a situation for which I am not further qualified, 1 shall glory in complying with your wishes. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your faithful and obedient servant, Knuston Hall, April 1831. PETE K PAYNE. WARMINSTER. At a meeting of the Friends of Reform, held at the Angel Inn 'Warminster, the 29th of April, 1831, HENRY WAIsISEY, Esq., in the Chair; Resolved,—That this meeting, being well aware that many of the proprietors of Boroughs, and the enemies of Reform, are making every exertion, by subscribing large sums of money and otherwise, to stifle and overwhelm the voice of the people, and to influence voters at the approaching elections, by bribery and other corrupt means, and by extravagant expenditure of every sort, highly approve of the establishment of the Loyal Patriotic Society in London, for counteracting such corrupt efforts. That a subscription of the inhabitants of Warminster and its neighbourhood be now entered into ; and that a Committee be formed for promoting such subscription (and after deducting local expenses), remitting the proceeds thereof to the Loyal and Patriotic Fund in London, and for corresponding therewith, if necessary. COUNTY OF HANTS. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The recorded votes for Sir James Macdonald and Mr. Lefevre are upwards of 4,000, and under the superior management of their radical Chairman no doubt is entertained of ultimate suc cess. We can vouch for the correctness of these observations, in consequence of previous enquiries, and our knowledge of Mr. Wallis, whose tactics are formed on experience. S. M. BURSLEM, STAFFORDSHIRE, APRIL 26. Extract of a letter, dated tarslent, Staffbrdshire, April 26 : " I am happy to inform you that public meetings have been heir to.day at Lane-end, Stoke, Hanley, and also in this town, to pro, mote the return, free of expense, of Mr. Josiah Wedgwood, sen., for Newcastle. Mr. W. is in favour of the Reform Bill." PONTEFRACT. (FRONT A CORRESPONDENT.) The late Members, Sir Culling K Smith and Hon. H. S. Jer ningham, offered themselves for this borough. Mr. Jerningham is a decided Reformer ; Sir Culling is not. On Monday last Sir Culling resigned, it is said, on account of the strong feeling ma nifested by the electors in favour of the Bill. Deputations of Reformers Have been anxiously seeking a candidate of the right principles, but, we regret to say, hitherto unsuccessfully. Mean time Lord Mexborough has appeared as candidate. He is an enemy to the Bill, pretending desire for Reform. We fear his influence in the town will leave us no chance of a better repre sentative, but there are many who stand firm to their principles, and refuse his LordOip their aid entirely on account of his prin ciples. The timely appearance of a staunch Reformer would have insured his return, and raised the character of the borough. At present the prospect is that the Hon. H. S. Jerningham and the Tart of Mexborough will he returned without opposition. BOSTON, APRIL 29. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) . . The election at this place has excited intense interest. The Tory candidate, Mr. Malcolm, has been so roughly handled, and there was such a strange manifestation of public opinion against him that he left the town last night, fearing to face the public, and resigning all pretensions as a candidate. The other two can. didates are Mr. Wilks and Mr. Heathcote, both staunch and true friends of the Reform Bill. The nomination took place this morning. Mr. Wilks and Mr. Heathcote were received with rapture. A poor tailor (how low is Toryism fallen) nominated Mr. Malcolm, and an attorney's clerk demanded a poll for him. So unaninious was the expression of publio•feeling that the people determined they would not resort to the farce of allowing a poll. The hustings were nearly demolished, but the election com menced upon the wreck of the hustings, and at two o'clock this afternoon stood as follows : Mr. Wilks. Mr. Heathcote 169 Mr. Malcolm. 35 After the freemen tender their votes for Mr. Malcolm ' the public opinion is unequivocally manifested by hootin g and shouts, and several of the voters have had their clothes torn from their backs. PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 29. (FROM A CORRESPONDE NT. ) John Bonham Carter and Francis Baring, Esqrs., were this day elected as Members to serve for this borough in the ensuing Parliament. Both voted for the Bill. During the past week the canvass by the friends of Sir James Macdonald and J. Shaw Lefevre , Esq., candidates.on the popular side of the question, has been going on very successfully, being in about the proportion of thirty to one against the anti-Reform candidate. They will be returned free of expence, as meetings have been held to raise money to carry freeholders to the poll free of expence. They arrived in this town this day from Ryde, Isle of \Night, where they have been so successful as to prove that it can be only obstinacy of Mr. Fleming in opposing. They were brought overin tow by twelve wherries, with flags of all na. tions and colours flying, full sail, band playing, guns firing, bells ringing, and loud cheers from the parties accompanying them. On their arrival here they were loudly cheered, and the horses taken from their carriage and drawn through the town in pro cession. They immediately departed for Petersfield to canvass, return this evening to Gosport, and from thence (to-morrow morning) back to Portsmouth with a splendid procession, &c. which will meet them about one mile from Gosport. Their re ception has been, and will be, most gratifying to them. Of the other Members I will say nothing. Sir G. Heathcote, late M.P. for this county, has declined entering the field. The election for the county commences on the 6th of May. The squibs have been smart and numerous. - WOODSTOCK, APRIL 29. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The candidates for this boroug h are, J. S . uckingham Esq., Lord Charles Churchill, and L ord Stormont. T he two latter in the Marlborough interest ; and, as a matter of course, strong Anti-Retbrmers. They have not hitherto addressed the free men ; but the popular can didate, Mr. Buckin gham, wishing to do so, was not only refused the Town-hall for that purpose, but well remembering the fate of a former tenant procured, and had it been ten times also the large room at the Marlborough Arms-inn, where he a h n ai d io h w i ser f irp i eu n r d pos s e w ere living, because the house belongs to the ocrwcasmionwas; but we were not to be diverted from Duke, and the tenant dared not lend his room for such an un hallowed rinapruagrespiomiriwlaorauld not have contained the number assembled on the occasion ; indeed the feeling was intense, and those who were so fortunate as to be within the compass of his voice enjoyed a rich intellectual treat. To attempt even an outline of his speech would occupy too much of your valuable columns ; but the world knows what this highly-gifted individual can say upon every sub ject. It will readily be imagined with what powerful eloquence he could advocate the cause of Reform. A little under-steward sat immediately in front of Mr. Buckingham, and attempted, by impertinent interruption, and a certain bobbing up and down, to throw him off his guard . ; but the poor man did not dream that hehad a giant before lam. Mr. Buckingham handled him in such a way, that he was not only convinced of his weakness, but s lightest doubt of his success : at any rate he is confident instead of exerting his giant's strength, he used him like a lamb. most important advantage for the borough—that is, Th i s i s precisely the gentleman we want here, and there cannot the extension of the franchise to the inhabitants of the place. He has examined a examined the charter granted by Charles, and is not single in his ?pinion about the extension of the franchise,. for beof effecting he is backed In that opinion by no less a man than the Lord • h chancellor of England. To-morro Mg and holy w we go to the poll with a righteous WHITCHURCH, APRIL 29. (PROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The nomination of two Members to represent this borougli in the ensuing Parliament took p l ace this day at the Town Hall. ohe prec ept from the High Sheriff having been read the usual oath was administered to the returning officer, David Wil liams, Esq,, Mayor, and other formalities complied with. RICHARD BENYON DE BEAUVOIR, Esq., of lnglefield near Reading, said, that as they were met, most probably last time, to exercise an ancient privilege, it was their to return his to Parliament who would manfully defend : u ar t r y ik had bee n brought forward by his Majesty's Ministers, he there fore ri o present this boroughlin Parliament. s h d e TT hr r i, eaie SAMUEL Rcimi beggede. va n :. c t t E gfe propose onosß t justice, se Sir Samuel Scott as a proper person to re d t p ar k, near Newbury. I: nded by WM. MOUNT, Esq.; of Wasing BRODRICK, Esq., seconded Col. Townshend. BERNARD, of Alverstoke, proposed, and Sir would oppose the Ministerial plan of Reform, which he con corer said that he always had and always not only to this borough, but to every borou gh which it int ended to disfranchise, a measure which wou ld lead to the sub version of the Constitution, both in Church and State. Colonel TOWNSHEND said he should pursue the same line of conduct he always had, and that he would oppose by voice and co t e that measure which had been called a Reform Bill, but w hich he considered an i nfernal Bill, and that he had no doubt that the nation, when it had recovered from the delirium into which it was now plunged, would repent of having forced such a r evolutionary measure on the Legislature. No other gentleman having been proposed the MAYOR de briefly returned th anks, the meet i ng dispersed. d a red Sir Samuel S cott and Colonel "rownshend duly elected, right of electi on for this borough lies in persons possessing a freehold within the b orough, and the generality of the voters are strangers, as m ay b e seen by the four gentlemen who pro posed and seconded th e Members, neither of whom reside within twelve miles of the bo rough. The patrons for the borough are Lor d Sidney, who n ominates his uncle Col o n e l Townshend, and Sir gatnuel Scott, wh o nominates himself. As a proof of the purity of election the Hall in whi c h th e e l ec ti on , or ra th er w here the nomin a ti on took place, was laid out for a banquet. W. wlTioh,ehaving COUNTY OF DEVON. .L 01? D JOEN RUSSELL. This morning a meeting . of Protestant Dissenters, and tin friends of civil and religious liberty, Was held in the London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill, fht the purpose of testifying their gratitude to Lord John Russell for his disinterested, persevering, and eflbctive exertions in their cause in the repeal of the Cor poration and Test Acts, by employing their influence and exer tions in securing his return for the county of Devon. Mr. PELL ATT took the Chair at one o'clock, and stated the object of the meeting, The Rev. Dr. STYLES said he felt it was not for ministers of religion to mix themselves up with party politics, but there were seasons when it became every loyal and patriotic man to sand forward in the cause of civil and religious liberty. He was the most loyal of the loyal subjects of the realfri, and he rejoiced that the time had arrived when the Dissenters, as such, could ex press their attachment to the Monarchy.—(Loud cheers.) The Sovereign ruled in the hearts of his people, and having discovered solicitation for the well being of the nation altogether unex ampled, his royal honours would flourish as long as there was a page of British history.—,(Loud cheers.) The Rev. Doctor then adverted to the claims which Lord John Russell possessed upon the exertions and influence of the Dissenting interest, and con cluded by intrving the following resolution Resolved-.. That the disinterested, persevering, and effective exertions of Lord John Russell in the Commons House of Par liament, as the leader of that naile band of freemen who advo cated and brought to a triumphant issue the cause of the Pro testant Dissenters of Great Britain in the repeal of the Corpora tion and Test Acts, have entitled him to the strongest expression of the confidence and regard of every friend to civil anti religious liberty." Mr. MEEK, iii seconding the resolution, said he should not expatiate on the distinguished merits of Lord John Russell--he believed him to be one of those illustrious heroes of fre: dom and political integrity for whose praise the vault of liberty itself was scarcely expansive enough.--(Great applause.)—He ha done much—especially far the Protestant Dissenters, and if in addition to the motive of' gratitude which impelled them in affording him now their cordial support, a superadded one were necessary, that motive, he was sure, would be found in the fact that In supporting Lord John Russell they supported the great cause of Reform; and the Dissenters would then be seen, as they always had been, in the front ranks of civil and religious liberty.--(Cheers.) The resolution was then put, and carried ermine contradirente. Sir RICHARD TAYLOR next rtise to address the meeting, and was speaking when our reporter left GLOUCESTER ELECTION. Since the dissolution of Parliament was announced on Satur day last, the excitement in this city has been altogether unpre— cedented. On Monday Colonel Webb published an address, in— timating his resignation, in pursuance of a previous arrangement between him and Captain Berkeley. It was then concluded, that Mr. Phillpotts and Captain Berkeley would be returned without opposition. The fnends of Colonel Webb, however, feeling dissatisfied at his retitement, urged him to alter his de termination, and on Tuesday an address from that gentleman announced his intention to offer himself with Captain Berkeley. On Wednesday the friends of Mr. Phillpotts having been assem. bled, that gentleman communicated to them his determination not to incur heavy expence by proceeding to a poll on the pre. sent occasion, but to reserve himself till the Reform Bill shall have passed, notwithstanding this declaration, it will be seen that his friends are determined to put him in nomination, and to keep open the poll for him to the last moment, free from every expence to him. They are carrying on his canvass with the most enthusiastic spirit, and express the fullest confidence in the result of the contest. PETERSFIELD ELECTION. The election for this hitherto rotten borough commenced this morning, when the partizans of Colonel Jolliffe and his nephew Sir Wm. Jolliffe, expected it to pass off without oppo sition, but in which they have been mistaken. At eleven o'clock the Mayor, as returning officer, assisted by Mr. Thessiger, as his assessor, took his seat in the Town Hall. Mr. MEARS proposed Colonel Jolliffe, which was seconded by Mr. LIPSCOMBE. Sir W. Jollitfe was proposed by Mr. LIPSCOMBE, and seconded by the Rev. TWYFORD. Colonel JOLLIFFE addressed the freeholders, stating that he was a liberal Tory, and an ardent supporter of the Constitution ; that he had served them for thirty years, and had never accepted place or pension, but he could not approve of the Reform Bill, which he thought was destructive alike to vested rights, property, and the Constitution.—(Loud disapprobation, and tremendous cries of" No boroughmongers.") Sir WM. JOLLIFFE also objected to the Reform Bill. JOHN CO RNTH WAITE HECTO R, Esq. of Petersfield, then came forward and stated the absolute necessity of supporting the all-absorbing question of Reform, and that he had great pleasure in announcing that his excellent friend John Ogle, Esq., (although defeated by a Committee of the House of Commons, whose conduct and decision he would not then comment on) was again ready to take the field, and had travelled 400 miles for the purpose of presenting himself to the Petersfield free holders, and who felt satisfied that a Committee of a Reformed House of Commons would decide according to the dictates of truth anal justice.—(Loud and repeated cheers, which lasted some minutes.) Mr. JOHN ATKINSON (of London), said he had great satis faction in seconding the nomination ; and although he wished much to avoid personalities, yet, at the present moment, when the accursed list of rotten boroughs was about to be destroyed for ever, it was the duty of every will-wisher to his country to can vass fairly the merits and qualifications of the several candidates. Colonel Jolliffe had thought proper to say he had served them thirty years, and never took a pension ; but would he inform the freeholders what he had received from the sale of seats for Pe tersfield during the time he had held the property, which prac tice was too notorious to be denied. With respect to the conduct of Sir William Jolliffe on Reform, at the election in July last, he had been asked how he would act on that question, he bad pro. mised to act conscientiously and independently. What was the result 7—when the Bill was introduced he had voted against it, Mr. LANG of Portsmouth, in a very eloquent speech, pro proposed Mr. Marsh, a well-known reformer, of the county of Hants; he commented with much force and strong argument on the various important points of the Reform Bill, which he considered would prove the salvation of the country. Sir James Macdonald and Mr. Shaw Lefevre here entered the Court, and were received in the most enthusiastic manner. Sir JAMES said, their promises throughout the county were iq proportion of thirty to one, and that the boroughmongers might rely on it the Reform Bill would be carried in the new Parliament by a majority of 120. A show of hands were then taken, when there appeared, for Messrs. Jolliffe about seven or eight each, and for John Ogle, Esq., and Marsh, Esq., about 200 each. A poll was then de manded by Colonel Jolliffe. Hants, April 29, 1831. TRIUMPH OF PURITY OF ELECTION AT BRISTOL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Surrounded by an immense population intoxicated with joy, I sit down to give you a brief description of the important victory achieved in the cause of Reform in this hot-bed of Toryism, denounced by Mr. Hart Davis as opposed to Reform— the only city in the kingdom that sent up a petition against the great and glorious m easu re of his Majesty's Ministers. The citizens of Etristol have made an awful display of the moral power of a people prudently called into action, and directed by sound judgment.— /qo sooner did the intelligence arrive of the patriotic part en. acted by our magnanimous and beloved Sovereign, than the reformers of this city organized themselves into a Committee to act independently of the candidates, and by constant appeals to the people, through the medium of the press, awakened the moral feeling, which has been crowned by this signal triumph.— Unable to effbct a coalition between the Reform candidates, they appealed to the electors to sign a declaration that they would not vote for any candidate who would not pledge himself to support the Bill. '1 hus was the impulse given. One by one the trades in succession met and passed, with an unanimity and enthusiasm quite unparalleled, the resolutions of which I send you copies. Not a single house has been opened, not a pint of beer has been given, and yet, with a virtue that would adorn the brightest page of human nature, the people have pressed forward to record the vote they were anxious to give. But the enemies of Reform have wisely determined to retire from the contest.— They have prudently declined to betray to the people their own weakness. An official communication has just been received from the professional agents of Mr. Richard Hart Davis that that gentle man will not be put in nomination to-morrow. Thus are two sterling reformers secured for the city of Bristol, and when we recollect the arrogant tone in which Mr. Davis said he would denounce the revolutionary measure of his Majesty's Ministers to his constituents from the hustings, _it is of the last importance to communicate to the empire that Mr. Davit has not ventured to face those constituents. Such an example so unexpected from such a quarter may give a moral tone to the elections throughout the kingdom. I cannot conclude without recording, the moderation with which the reformers of Bristol hive conducted themselves on this occasion. Not a blow in anger has been given ; not a window has been broken, and when I say this is the first election that has passed in this city without these usual concomitants of a contest, I mean to denote the great moral improvement that has taken place among the electors of Bristol. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, T. J. MANCHEE, Late Editor of the Bristol Mercury. Bristol, Friday Evening, Nine o'Clock, April 28. THE PRINTERS' DECLARATION. - At a general meeting of the Journeymen Letter-press Printers, Freemen of the city of Bristol, held on Wednesday Evening, April 27 1831, at the St. John's Porter House, head of the Quay, Mr. CHARLES SOMERTON in the Chair, it was unanimously resolved—That this Meeting responds, with the most heartfelt gratitude, to the appeal which his Majesty has been pleased to make his people, in this most eventful crisis of their country; and when this appeal really resolves itself into the question, whether we will be freemen by the use of our franchise for our own and the public benefit, or tools in the hands of others, and thereby fix the seal to an agreement for our perpetual en slavement, we hesitate not to make our choic, and in conse quence, resolutely and firmly declare— That we view with the utmost abhorrence the tyrannical system which has for a long period prevailed in the city of Bristol, both of compulsory voting and of bribery, by which the free will of the burgesses has been destroyed, and their conscientious feel ings outraged, to the eternal disgrace of the party who have so repeatedly had recourse to such means to defeat the opinions and to subvert the independence of the community —a system which has been at once the main support of tyrannical Governments, and the source of many local abuses. • That we are of opinion, that more injury has been done to the cause of public justice, public economy, and legislative inde pendence, by those who have presented themselves for the suf frage of the citizens of Bristol, under the specious title of friends to our " Protestant Constitution in Church and State," than by any other persons whatsoever. And we reprobate most sincerely the interference of select vestries and parish officers in a contested election, who, in addition to their partial conduct, and the base prostitution of their offices to party purposes, are the dispensers o ß ted lue beca ose it of of the funds of many public charities, and thus excite the foulest is suspicion in all candid and honourable minds. That we beseech our Fellow-Electors to resist every seduction of Party, and to reflect that a chain can gold. The man who takes a bribe despises his King, and sells his country in this l a st chance for its emancipation from the c on t rou l o f a b ase , d espot i c, an d Boroughmongering faction. That our votes and good wishes ar e rea d y a t any moment f or th b e e no Revolutionistsls sfirmly riveted those candidates who will pledge themselves to vote for the Re form Bill, the whole Bill. and nothing but the Bill, which alone can secure our liberty and a fair representation of the people, the true sources of British prosperity and happiness. It was then unanimously Resolved—That J. E. Baillie, Esq., having proved himself to be a friend to Reform, and E. Protheroe, jun., Esq , having fully pledged himself to support the same, it is essential for the friends of Reform to unite in procuring the return of those gentlemen. GOD SAVE THE KING ! Signed on behalf of the meeting, CHARLES SOMERTON, Chairman. CITY ELECTIONS. (From the Morning Herald.) . . .__ • As we anticipated yesterday (Thursday), Ai r . Ward bas esigned, his Committee having informed him that he bad not the slightest chance of success. It turns out that, in 4tead of being promised 4,000 plumpers, he, in fact, had but 395 promises. We have no hesitation in saying, what we have before asserted, that a majority of ten to one were against Mr. Ward. The result of this election is decisive as to the feeling of the people on the question of Reform. Here we have an Anti-Reform candidate of great know. ledge—great respectability—great influence; a man whose conduct has been the Most manly and straightforward ; a man, indeed, beloved by every one who knows him ; and what is the result ? He is obliged to retire, finding that, out of a constituency of 15,000, only 395 voters were willing to support him. We have no doubt that Mr. Ward will be returned in a reformed Parliament. The result of the metropolitan elections, together with that of Dover, has struck terror into the hearts of the boroughmongers. They now say that there is no chance —that all is lost. The reformers, however, will not leave the field as long as a single enemy is undet arms ; they will consider that " there is nothing gained while aught remains to win." We are assured that Sir John Rae Reid's carriage was not broken at Dover, that the Hon. Baronet is stil in the borough, and that the best understanding subsists be tween him and the inhabitants. We believe, however, that it is too true that another gentleman connected 'with the city of London—Mr. Sanderson, the bill-broker—has met with a very rough reception at Colchester. It ap pears that Mr. S. was met at some distance from the town by a great_c.oncourse of people. who received him with huzzas, and expressed a wish to draw his carriage into Colchester. Mr. Sanderson, of course, felt flattered and delighted by such a kind reception, but his triumph was of short duration. On arriving at a large pond by the road side, the faithless mob backed the would-be Anti- Reform Member and his carriage into it, where he was left sticking in the mud, amid the groans and execrations of the sarrounding•multitude. According to a letter received to-day from Gloucester, a requisition to the Hon. H. Morton, to stand for the county, has been signed by 2,000 freeholders, and is ex pected to obtain the signatures of several hundred more in the course of a day or two. As he has not the slightest chance of success, Lord Edward Somerset is expected to retire. There has not been a contested election in Glou cestershire for nearly a quarter of a century. Mr. Mor ton is in favour of the Bill. It is reported in the city that Colonel Tyrell has de clined to contest the county of Essex. Thus the Bill will gain another supporter. As an instance of the spirit with which the people come forward to subscribe their money in support of Reform, we have to state that nearly all the housekeepers in Middlerow, Holborn, have given a pound Each. (From the Times.) We have seldom seen any stronger expression of satis faction than was manifested yesterday morning in the city at the resignation of Mr. 'Ward. It was taken as an earnest, not merely of the share the representation of Lon don is destined to take in the Reform question, but also of the signal and triumphant success of the cause throughout the whole country. Our zealous Reformers in the city hold, and most justly, the moral effect of this day's pro ceedings to be irresistible. Mr. Ward's chances of suc cess have, as it now appears, been very much overrated during the whole of the canvass, but his friends were driven to rely on exaggeration to procure them that sup port which they did not in reality possess. They are now disappointed beyond measure at his having resigned, but with about as much reason, and with much the same feel ing, as the promoters of a prize-fight are influenced by, when one of the combatants shows the white feather. They will have no fight. They wanted to seat their Member if they could, but they wanted also at any rate to have a contest. The accounts from all parts of the country continue to be most gratifying. The anti-Reformers are baffled at every turn, and lose confidence with every new failure.— Several elections have now been brought to a close, without conferring a seat on one opponent to Reform. The funds began to rse to-day almost on the instant that the termination of the city election was known, be c Luse, as every one saw, it sealed the fate of the anti-Re formers all over the kingdom. Consols were it 781 in the morning, but left off at 781 to 79. This proves at least how mistaken the notion is that the fundholders con sider Reform dangerous to their interests. If the prices of stock are not now sustained, it will be from other causes, which ought to be well understood ; for if the mea sures taking by the Bank to contract the circulation should continue mach longer, and be followed up by an advance in the rate of discount, a decline is not unlikely to be the consequence, which the enemies of Reform will of course be eager to ascribe to its success. Exchequer Bills left off at 51. to 6s. pm.; India Bonds at Is. discount to par. In the ensuing contest for the University of Cambridge, we trust that it will not be forgotten by the electors, the majority of whom belong to the sacred pro fession, that in continuing to support Mr. CAVENDISH and Lord PALMERSTON they will lend their aid to those who entirely concur in the benevolent exertions which ale made to ameliorate the condition of the negroes in the West Indies, in opposition to a party whose past conduct shows a fixed determination to perpetuate the horrors of slavery. An active subscription has been commenced in the Finsbury district in aid of the General Reform Election Subscription now open at the Crown and Anchor Tavern; and although only a few hours have been devoted to the same, the Chairman was enabled to trans mit to the general committee a cheque for 501. on account. A general election is supposed to get rid of a great deal of bad wine, and a general illumination may he said to consume a great deal of bad oil, of which there appeared to be no deficiency on Wednesday, many of the lamps having gone out immediately after they were lighted. THE LATE DUCHESS OF WELLINGTON. We are authorised to state that the decease of the late Duchess of WaLLmczoN did not occur at Stratlieldsaye, but at Aps!ey-house ; that during her protracted illness she was attended by the Duke with the most unremitting attention, and that her hand was in his when she expired. —Times. The LORD CHANCELLOR has promised to take the Chair at the anniversary of the Literary Fund on the Ilth of May. There ought to be some neutral ground where adverse politicians may meet and forget all feelings; hut those connected with the amenities of literature and the exercise of charity ; and such is the pr.posed meeting of the Literary Fund on the 11th of May. The Lord Lieutenant of IRELAND , has di rected the commission of the peace for the County of Kg,- dare to be giien to the celebrated Dr. DotrLx, the Catholic Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin. This is the first instance of a clergyman of that religion holding the commission since the period of the revolution, and must do more to conciliate the affections of the people than perhaps any other single act of his Excellency could have effected. Extract of a letter of the 15th distant from Madrid :- 4, The Spanish Government has refused the claim of indemnity made for the damages occasioned to the George Canning by the batteries of Tarifa, but the English Government has renewed the demand in more energetic terms. The Cabinet of Madrid has also entered into explanations with Count D'HARCOURT, the French Ambassador, relative to the arrest , of his courier —these also are unsatisfactory ; it remains to be seen whether they will be accepted." WHIG AND TORIES.—The piquant work entitled "The Premier" will be read with avidity at the present moment, as it unfolds the secret motives of action and subtle intrigues of men both in and out of power. Almost all the public characters of the day are sketched with an unsparing pen. The writer has doubtless ex perienced the hollowness and insincerity of certain indivi:- duals and has taken this method of retaliation. His suc cess is complete. The East India Company's ship Reliance ar, rived off the Wight yesterday. She sailed from China on the 18th of December, and St. Helena on the 27th of February. HORRIBLE MURDERS.—We are grieved and horrified at being compelled to state, that the steward of Mr. VANDELEUR, of Rabaline, near Newmarket-on- Fergus, county of Clare, was murdered yesterday by a party of the peasantry. Mr. WHEELER, the agent of Sir J. RIBTON and Lord STRASBROOK, shared a similar fate near Nenagb, in the county of Tipperary.—Evening Post. guilty the Middlesex Adjourned Sessions, on Thursday, Joint IltNu, aged 45, was found of assaulting MAaY ANN SIMMONS.SIMMONs , aged 12 years, with intent, &c. The girl was his servant, and slept in the same room with him,' his wife, and two children. When he committed the assault, he threatened to murder her if she told of it. He was •entencod to four months' unprisoutuent and bard labour. N__ ;Y a ~i P %
