/€_4_ /;:z4 ~: 4% the GENTRY, CLERGY, and FREEHOLDERS if OF THE COUNTY OF BEDFORD. 0 li PrtIMIIN, z. , HEN 1 appeared before you this morning, ~WHEN /' YT 14 solicit your Suffrages for the honour of repre *.senting you, in Parliament, the splendid cavalcade with which Iliad been escorted to the place of Election, and ;'. the unprecedented number of independent Freeholders by Iwhom F Wall lurrounded, so overpowered my feelings, that I was unable to give utterance to my gratitude and exul. eition on this eventful occasion. E ; ' Gentlemen, this has been one of the proudest days of tai life. Owing to your countenance and support the grand object of m ambition has been a cc omplished. I have attained the high and distinguished honour of be coming your Representative, not merely by a majori.y, but 'by the unanimous voice of the Freeholders of this In le pendent County. ttest consideration is to suppress the momentary feelings of triumph and enthusiasm. and thus to Convey to you those sentiments of gratitude and respect, Which your kindnese and exertions have called forth. I first offered myself to your notice as an Independent Country Gentleman, as such I shall take my scat in the house of Cannons, unfettered by political prejudices, and hound by no party connexions. I shall hold myself above the reach of unconstitutional influence, and whilst I dis charge the duties I owe to my King dnd Country, it will be my espsetial object to promote the local interests of my Constituents. Gentlemen, I have been tanght from my earliest youth to venerate the glorious and happy Constitution under which we live and prosper, and although I c moot concur . in the wild and visionary theories of those who erroneously attributing the consequence of individual corruption to defects in the form and fabric of the State, would intro dace: dang erous and unnecessary innovations, I shall be ever ready to promote those moderate and rational im provements which the diffusion of knowledge anti the consequent advancement of human intellect may render . expedient. Tee subjects which, during the lait Session, occupied . the attention of Parliament, and the consideration of which Will doubtless be renewed, , ars so numerous, that it is, • difficult to make a selection of those upon which it is Most important I should express an opinion ; but there are .4 few which will claim my peculiar attention. Having of late years resided amo ngs t y ou , I have wit belied a n d deplored the reducAl condition of the labouring clusee, and the depressed state of the once prosperous cul tivators of the British soil. From a conviction that these evils in a great degree arise, as affecting the former classes, from defects in the system of our Poor Laws, and as to the latter, from the erroneous principles and calculations upon which it appears to me our Corn Laws are founded ; • 14 411 support such measures in both of these branches aLetislation as may secure to the farmer a remunerating Price for his produce, and to the honest labourer a just and fair return for his industry. The state of our suffer ing f ellow -creatures in the Western Colonies will not escape )fly attention; I shall support every prudent measure Whitt' may tend to ameliorate their condition, and by gradual and progressive steps lead ultimately to the aboli tion of Slavery. With these sentiments and intentions I take my leave, had with the warmest feelings of gratitude and respect, I beg to subscribe myself, , .

Bruce, I?dsq., an inha bitant of Kingston, to endorse a bill of exchange drawn by him, Ensign Borough, for 211. aterling, on Messrs Greenwood, Cox, and Co., Army Agents, the same Mr. Bruce being induced to endorse such bill from Ensign Borough pledging to him his word of honour as an officer, that Messrs. Greenwood and Co. had funds in their hands applicable to the pay. ment of such bill of exchange, notwithstanding which the said bill of exchange was dishonoured and returned to Mr. Bruce, protested for non-payment. " 2. For conduct unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman, in having, some time in May, 1829, given to William Bruce, Esq., of Ki ng . ston, as part payment of a sum of money due from him to the said Mr. Bruce, an order for 301. sterling, on Messrs. Greenwood, Cox, and Co., Army Agents, payable out of his (Ensign Borough's) pay, as it became due in the agents' hands, which order was also dishonoured. _ " 1 For conduct unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman, in having, some time in December, 1828, sold a bill of exchange, drawn by him, for 111. 16s. sterling, on Messrs. Greenwood, Cox ' and Co., army agents, to Messre. Johnston. and Wallace, booksellers, Kingston, which bill of exchitpge was dishonoured, and returned to Metiers.

The election for this boroutrh has just termi nated, and the Members, Mr. Fyshe Palmer and Mr. Charles Russell, have been chaired. The numbers declared by the Mayor, at the final close of the poll this day, were as follows : Palmer - 522 Russell Lushingtou The candidates were then chaired, Mr. Palmer to the Crown 1.111, Mr. Russell to the Bear, from ►which places they returned thanks to their friends. Dr. Lushington, on the eve of his departure, wrote a very handsome letter to the Mayor, thanking and complimenting him for the impartial manner in which he had conducted the proceedings of the elec►ion. The Mayor, who was said to he in prin ciple an ardent supporter of the party who have re turned Mr. Russell, has certainly evinced the ut most impartiality during the whole of the contest Dr. Lushington left this place for London last night. gING, AUGUST 13, 1830. - BEDFORD TOWN ELECTION. . . Last week the' return of Lord John Russell for thiS borough appeared hopeless. Affaire, how ever, have since taken a turn. The addresses of his Lordship to the electors, in which he explained the nature of the religious liberty of which he had ever been the consistent advocate, gradually dis pelled the prejudices and calmed the alarm which had been artfully excited against him in the minds of many of the Methodists. Many friends who re sided at a distance, and who had from a false con. fidence in the certainty of Lord John Russell's return remained at home, now hurried forward. Some of them had travelled from very distant parts of the kingdom. Certain of the influential Members of the Methodist Conference also, on being apprised of the attempt to mislead their body, addressed themselves to Lord J. Russell, and assured him that they did not participatein:the opinion which had been disseminated as to the baneful consequences which would spring from the adoption of his plan of re ligious liberty. Mr. Samuel Whitbread also came down express front London on Saturday, and in an animated speech,which %v.'s heard with great attention, vindicated his family and that of Lord John Russell from the attempt charged upon them of trying to enslave and tyrannize over the town. On the con trary, he declared the only influence they sought to possess was that honourable one which was derived from their conduct being such as to deserve the re spect and esteem of the townspeorle. From these and other causes, a re-action was produced, and on Saturday night the majority against Lord John Russell was reduced to 13. On Monday night it was still further reduced, being then only 6 ; and on Tuesday night the hopes of Lord John Russell's friends were most sanguine, the numbers being-- Whitbread Polhill •, . 486 The last account is still more favourable for Lord John Russell : Whitbread Polhill 491 Russell DEVON.-EXETER, Atm. 11. The following was the state of the gross poll at its close, at five o'clock, for—• libi ington lB3O Adam! 1656 Dastard 1391 The result of the day's polling afforded vast de light to the inhabitants of this city, in which Sir Thomas Acland is regarded with enthusiastic affec tion. The lead which Sir Thomas Acland has taken over Mr. Bastard is rendered a more decisive symp tom of ultimate success, by the fact that the utmost possible exertions were . made yesterday t o b r i ng i n such a number of Mr. Bastard's supporters as should give him a most decided superiority over Sir Thomas Acland upon this day's poll. When the numbers were announced this evening, Mr. Bastard expressed his determination to keep the poll open as long as he had a freeholder to poll. Nobody enter tains any doubt of Lord Ebrington's success, and very little remains concerning that of Sir T. Acland. ESSEX.—SIXTII DAY. CullomFOßD, THURSDAY NIGHT. At half-past five the gross poll was announced as follows Tyrell Western. Wellealey 1,766 The announcement was received, us usual, with loud cheers from all parties. Mr. WESTERN (for whom Mr. Wellesley had en treated a hearing as a personal favour to himself ) came forward, and was received with perfect silence. He said he was indebted to his rival candidate for the patient attention with which he supposed they would listen to him; but he had little more to do than to thank his friends who had done him the honour of recording their mimes in his favour on the poll. Colonel TYKELI. Again begged to thank his bro ther freeholders for the great efforts they had made in his support. He must say that he had legitimate pretensions to the ambition of representing the county of Essex in Parliament, as his family had done so, and also represented Maldon in the time of Charles IL, and he trusted another of the family would in the time of William IV. After some fur ther remarks the gallant Colonel bowed and retired. Mr. WELLESLEY next presented himself, and was received with the loudest cheering. He proceeded to comment at some length, and amidst frequent cheering, on the coalition between the two other candidates and their friends in opposition to him, and again repeated, that be was determined to keep the poll open to the last. Colonel TvRELL had made a slight error in saying that some of his family had represented the county in the reign of Charles IL He should have said that some of them were Sheriffs in that reign.— (Cheers and laughter.) Mr. WELLESLEY replied at some length, and when he had concluded, Mr. QUINTIN DICK, to whom in the course of his address he had made some allusions, made an at tempt to be heard, but the people were not disposed to listen to him, rind the Sheriff declared the Court adjourned till to-morrow. TRURO. The election for this borough terminated on the 6th, after a very sharp contest, and four days' poll ing. Lord Eucombe and Mr. Peach, the noble patron's nominees, had the vot e s o f 14 capital burgesses, being a bare majority of the 24 of which that body consists. Sir J. W. Lubbock and Mr. W. Tooke polled 179 burgesses, who, under the charter of Elizabeth, claim a paramount right to elect the Members, while a contrary practice has too long, by usurpation, prevailed, but is fortunately not sanc tioned by any final determination of the House of Commons, although in the troublous periods of 1660 and 1689, its committees on two instances of double returns, decided for party purposes in favour of the right of the smaller number. Sir J. W. Lub bock and Mr. Tooke have given formal notice of their intention to petition, and complain, apparently with reason, of the Mayor not making, as his pre decessors had done in worse times, a double,return: The question mainly turns upon the wording and construction of the charter, to which both parties appeal, and therefore it does not involve any indis tinct qualifications, or tendency to a promiscuous right of voting ; but merely whether that right shall be confined to 24. individuals, or extended to about 300 equally respectable individuals. LEICESTER (COUNTY), Ava 11. The election for this county commenced at the Cagle this day. Sir Gi.otwi H. W. BRAustoNT, Bart., High Sheriff, having reached the Castle-yard about ten o'clock, the business of the day immediately com menced. The usual preliminaries having been gone through, Sir JoHN PALMER, Bart., came forward to pro pose George A. L. Keck, Esq., of Stoughton, as a fit and proper person to represent the county in Parliament. C. G. MusD; Esq. seconded the nomination. ED►fUND CRADOCK HAnTorn, Esq., next came forward to propose Lord Robert Manners. Sir H. HALFonn, Bart., ,seconded his Lordship's nomination, who, be said, had fought at Waterloo; and who, should the country again'need his services, would be found to extend his right arm in its sup port.—(Cheers and hisses.) RALPH OLDACRES, Esq., of Arnsby, one of the most extensive landholders of the county, then came forward to propose Thomas Paget, Esq., of Hum berstone. THOMAS STOKES, Esq., the molt extensive ho siery manufacturer of Leicester, seconded the no mination. The 111611 SHERIFF having put the question to the vote, the election %vas declared in favour of Mr. Keck and Mr. Paget. There way absolutely a forest of hands held up for the latter gentleman. Mr. PAGET returned thanks. Lord It, MANNERS having demanded a poll, the polling was ordered to commence to-morrow morn ing at nine o'clock. The feeling against the domi nation of the house or Rutland is beyond descrip tion. Freeholders who have long supported what is called the " True-blue Interest," are now every where joining the " Greens" (Mr. Paget's colour) against the oligarchy of the county. Mr. Paget's election is carried on by subscription, and the free holders pledge themselves to come to the poll free of expellee. DORSET (COUNTY.) The HIGH SHERIFF having appointed Monday, the 9th instant, for the election of two repte,,enta tives for Dorsetshire, the County Court was opened soon after ten o'clock, at the County 1 b in Dor chester, and adjourned to the hustings on Corebill. Here a very considerable Humber of the gentlemen, clergy, and freeholders of the county, had assembled to greet their late respected representatives, Mr. Bankes and Mr. Portman. The U`1)1112-SHERIFF (Mr. Fitliter) having read the King's writ, and the Act against bribery, Sze., Email') BOND, Esq., the Sherd, demanded of the freeholders if they had any candidates to pro pose to represent this county in Parliament. The freeholders appearing to be unanimous in favour of Mr. Bankes and Mr. Portman, the High Sheriff declared those gentlemen to be duly elected to represent the county of Dorset in Parliament. Mr. PORTMAN and Mr. BANKES then returned thanks in appropriate speeches. CAMBRIDGE,—COUNTY), Tuunsomr• The struggle for the representation of this county is being carried on upon every side with great vigour, and as yet with nearly equal success. The following was the state of the poll at noon on Thursday : Osborne I,xoB Manners 1,087 AJeane PRICE 7D. II A I.P. TA ST TWELVE. Osborne 1,380 Means 1,193 Manners 1,143 CORK (CITY), AUG. 9. The polling. to-day is very languid, no popular excitement whatever ; it is likely to dose to-mor row. State of the day's poll at three o'clock : Mlle 126 Callaghan 111 Baldwin 37 AN ORIENTAL NIMROD. Of the two Murdoos, so frequently mentioned in this narrative, the elder brother was called Wel', or Velli Murdon ; but he had nothing to do with the management of the country. He was a great sports man, and gave up his whole time to hunting and shooting. Being a man of uncommon stature and strength, his chief delight was to encounter the monsters of the woods ; and it was even said, that he could bend a common Arcot rupee with his fingers. Uncumbered with the cares and trappings of government, he led a sort of wandering life ; and occasionally visited his European neighbours at Tanjore, Trichinopoly, and Madura, by whom be was much esteemed. If any one wanted game, a message sent to Velli Murdoo was sure to procure it ; or if he wished to partake in the sports of the held, Velli Murdoo was the man to conduct him to H the spot, and to insure his success, as well as to watch over his safety. Did a royal tiger appear, while his guest was surrounded by hardy and powerful pikemen, Velli Murdoo was the first to meet the monster and despatch him. A life such as this, although it may appear idle and insignificant to those accustomed to the safety of a well-regulated country, was very far from being without its use fulness in a district overrun with jungle, and infested by beasts of prey. The minor game was, however, politely decoyed, or driven in front of his European friend, who might thus, with less danger, kill hogs, elks, deer, pea-fowl, &c. in abundance. From this Oriental Nimrod I had received many marks of at tention and kindness, when stationed at Madura, in the year 1705, and then one of the youngest subal terns in the place; a pretty certain proof of his dis interestedness. The Cheena Murdoo was the oaten• sible sovereign of an extensive and fertile country, and his general residence was at Sherewele. Though of a dark complexion, be was a portly, handsome, and tillable man, of the kindest manners, and most easy access; and though ruling over a people to whom his very nod was a law, lie lived in an open palace, without a single guard ; indeed, when I visited him in February, 1795, every man who chose to come in, had free ingress and egress, while every voice called down the blessing of the Almighty urn the father of his people.

Mr. Gordon, in the course of his rambling narra tive, conducts us to Rome, where, of course, some thing about pictures is to be said. To all those noblemen and gentlemen who have been ever inoculated with the love of virtu, we recommend the following confessions, which, we have no doubt, may be the means of a great deal of saving to them, not merely of money but of ridicule. " I shall mention an extraordinary instance of the gullubility of John Bull. A young artist at Florence, a French man, Monsieur Averani, had extraordinary talent for copying miniatures, giving them all the force of oil. I had frequently seen him at work in the gallery, and I purchased a clever copy of the Fonarina' of Raphael, and one from 'the Venus Vesita' of Titian, in the Pitti Palace, said to be the only miniature painted by this great man. It had a good deal of the character of Queen Mary Stuart, was painted on a gold ground, had great force, and was highly finished. I gave the artist his price, six sequins, and brought it to England. When I dis posed of my virlu in Sloane -street, previous to my settling in Scotland, this miniature made a flaming appearance in the catalogue, and my friend, the late Mr. Christie, puffed it so well, that a certain Mr. F-, a sort of broker, became possessed of this gem for fifty-five guineas. I thought I had done pretty well by this transaction, until I saw it ad vertised in the horning Chronicle; a flaming puff, stating that an original portrait of Mary, Queen of Scotland, the undoubted work of Titian, value 1,000 guineas, was to be seen at No. 14, Pall-mall, price of admission 2s. 6d.' The bait took. Mr. F-- put three or four hundred pounds in his pocket by the exhibition, and sold the portrait for 7001. or 800/. Here was I, an innocent accessory to the greatest imposition that ever was practised on the public. ' As a work of art it was worth all that I got for it; and I was offered nearly that sum from a friend, who knew its whole history. I understood that Lord R--k was the purchaser of this beautiful miniature. One more anecdote of merchandizing, and 1 have done. At Naples, during the revolu tion, I purchased a superb reek vase for a few dollars. I sent it to Philips in Bond -street, to be sold along with some other articles of the same kind. An intimate friend promised to attend the sale, and buy it in, if it did not fetch twenty pounds; but great,iyas my astonishment when I received a note from liTm to say that he had persuaded his worthy friend Mr. of St. James's-square, to give eighty guineas for my vase. Mr, Chinnery, of the Treasury, also a collector, ran the contractor nearly up to this sum. It may not be out of place to men don a few instances of the extreme fully of our countrymen, who, in travelling on the continent, think it incumbent on them to buy pictures, with out any previous knowledge of their value or their merits. Few :of them ever think of looking at a picture in their own country, the air of Italy alone makes them amateurs." We are enabled to repeat, from the best authority, that the Kura firmly intends to visit Scotland next Summer, and that the Quxxx and the Duke of Sussex will accompany him. At present it is their MA. JRSTIZIe intention to visit Slains castle, in Aberdeenshire, the seat of the Earl of Exxot, and from thence to hold a royal progress through Aberdeen, Perth, Stirling, and Glasgow, to Edinburgh. This news, which, as we have already said, we do not give on slight authority, will, we doubt not, excite quite a sensation along the east coast.— Edinbur9le Observer. Whilst Louis XVIII. was residing at Hart well, he was frequently in the habit of changing horses at the King's Arms Inn, at Berkhampstead, the landlord of which has several daughters, with the eldest of whom (who is represented to be a very sensible woman) Louis was very fond of chatting ; and to enjoy this pleasure he would frequently be driven to the inn, when no other pur pose called him that way. After the restoration Louts invited his fair friend to come to Paris, whither she went and was provided with apartments at the Tuileries. Louis treated his guest with great respect, but scandal suggested that his attentions were dictated by a warmer motive than friendship. On the lady's return from Paris the injurious rumour reached her ear; and she wrote a letter to a news paper denying its truth, in which she pleasantly observed, that the King's Arms, at Berkbampstead, were the only King's arms she was ever in. The deposed KlNti was ac customed to accompany Louts to the inn.— Times Cor respondent. A ridiculous Spanish custom prevails still in colemhia, of offering a visiter any thing he may admire in his house. Mr. CAnE and myself were much amused one morning at receiving a printed card from the Under. Secretary for Foreign Affairs, with the following notice : Senora de has the honour of offering for your disposal a little 'girl which she has brought into the world." Having half-a-dosen of my own in England, I declined the polite offer of receiving the new-born babe.— Colonel Hamilton's Colombia. The following is a literal copy of a bill posted in a neighbouring village :—" Lodgings to Let Gest Down the Lane thears A parler and A kitchen and 3 Bed rooms all redy furnekt and A nice Green Lawn in (runt."-- (Signed with the name of the lodging letter.) DESCRIPTION OP THE CONVENT 01? MOUNT HOREB. We came in sight of Mount Horeb. In front is a. green plain, like a lawn. The moun tain appears isolated from the others. The co nvent is on the left. of it, in a hollow between it, anti another precipitous mountain. We reached the convent before mid-day. The monks appeared above at the opening like that of a warehouse, and sent down a rope, to which we affixed the letter we had from the convent at Cairo. It having been pulled up, read, and ap proved, our luggage followed it, and a 'great cable was at length let down for ourselves. The legs of the ascending personage are put into some small ropes at the end of the great one, and, taking hold above, be gives the signal to 1w drawn up, whereupon he is speedily landed in safety, anti welcomed with many a salaam. The method of raising is by a windlass, which is turned by four of the priests. We were shown up into a corridor with four small rooms along it, and a place at the end for cooking. This part of the convent is reserved for strangers, and is very convenient. The first room is neatly fitted up with divans and carpets. After the usual welcomes and inquiries, the Conversa tion turned on the state of the political affairs ; and neither the superior, nor be who acted as interpreter, would believe that the Greeks had obtained their liberty, and that the Sultan had yielded. They said that blood, much blood, must be spilt before such a consummation could be effected; a conviction which they`would not resign, even after we bad assured them that the ambassadors were recalled, and the 'treaty of London accepted. The await:Jr of the con vent is a tnan not much beyond the Piddle age; seeming from thirty to thirty-five. has a dark quick eye, a jet black beard, and fount:. chios, and hair banging down his back inn long thick lock. He was dressed in a black cap amid a black gown, but wore no stockings. He would he a handsome man, were .not his cheeks hollowed by his mode of life. The interpreter is still more ghastly ; and, with his brown and white striped gown and belt, he might be taken, with his conical cap, for a Turkish dervichc. His account of the convent is, that St. Helena built a chapel on the spot where Moses 'saw God in the burning bush, and that the body of the church was added by Justinian. The first thing with which we were presented was a re freshment of aqua-vitas and fruit. The water from the convent well is delicious. When drawn, it is rather warm, but, after exposure to the wind, in earthen jars, it becomes cold. After this repast, we went with the monks to the church, where we found them celebrating mass. Monks were standing at each pillar, anti one in the middle, reading. We passed them in order to go to the chapel of St. Helena, which is behind the altar. Before entering we were requested to take off our shoes. It was the spot from which the voice of God came to Moses, saying, "Put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the Place whereon thou standest i,a holy ground." All that could be. done to testify ve neration for this sacred spot has been performed. It is ornamented with many paintings and other gifts, presented by the pious ; and a silver lamp is constantly burning. The service being over, we were joined by the superior, who took great pains to point out every object worthy of our at tention. We returned with him to the high altar, on which are ornaments of silver. On time roof of a semi-circular recess behind is an ancient mosaic. The tomb of St. Catherine, in marble, stands to the right of the altar. This saint suffered martyrdom at Alexandria, but her body (as the legend relates) was carried by angels to the summit of a mountain near Mount Sinai ; and, having been found there in a per fect state three hundred years ago, was removed to its present place of interment. The body of the church is composed of a principal and two side aisles, separated by ranges of columns, with ancient, unseemly capitals. The floor is of beau tiful mosaic marble ; and from the roof is sus pended a vast number of lamps and chandeliers, some of great magnificence. The screen is or namented with gilded columns and pictures ; and its richly worked door presents figures of Christ and Moses. It is a church of much its.' terest, containing a great variety , of objects crowded together by the piety of ages. We next went to the garden, the communication to which is through a long, descending, and dark passage. This garden is rich in fruits of all kinds ; peaches, apples, pomegranates, tnelons, arc. The grapes are uncommonly fine, some of the bunches weighing, we are told, five ocks when e. Thera are various compartments to the garden, communicating with each other by means of rudely-formed stairs. It is watered throughout, and, indeed, owes its existence to the convent well. Time superior, seeing that we admired the richness of the produce, said, " What is all this without liberty ? When a man has liberty, every thing goes well ; he can suit his desires to his means, or seek a better fortune, by change of scene ; but we are here, shut up without hope ; at times we cannot even walk in this garden. The Arabs come to see us as beggars, askingcoffee or grain, end, if we refuse them, they besiege the place, break into the garden, and carry off the fruit." He, at the same time, pointed out a hole in .the garden wall, large enough to admit a man: The con vent itself is impregnable to the Arabs, but they are ever on the watch with their guns. The monks are thus in a perpetual siege. Not long ago, one of them received a gun-shot in his leg. Letters have been written on the subject to the convent at Cairo, but without redress. At the time of our visit, the monks had just ooneladed A truce of thirty days with the Arabs. In the morning I asked one of the monks whether they had any manna. " 0 yes," was the answer; 4 ' how many ocks do you want ?" tie gave ma a piece, which he said bad been paltered five years ago. Whether genuine or not, it was ex cellent eating.
