REFORM IN THE CITY. • (From the Morning Herald.) We have great pleasure in announcing that Mr. War 'is been signally unsuccessful in his 'canvas to-day (Tues day). and that, too, in the neighbehrh'emi of the Exchange which was considered 'one of Zia strongest hotels. Per hap : . there is not a Matt in the city of London reser highly respected, as a private character, and even as . Member of Parliament, so far as regards his conduct of mercantile n uestions, than this gentleman. But Mr. Ward is a bitter and uncompromising enemy of Reform :and he therefore ought to be opposed by every friend that measure. This is no time for sacrificing puhli, principles to private friendship ; and we repeat what w sail yesterday (Monday), that " the pretended Reformer who gives a vote to Mr. Ward, ought to be d enounce d ae the worst traitor to the cause which he professes to advo sate." This will hold good with regard to all °th e ! places, as well as the city of London. In Yorkshire, fee instance, we understand that Mr. Duncombe will stand e contest on the Tory interest, to support which, it is said, the Conservative Senate, alias the Charles -stre e t gane alias the Charles-street conspirators , have n support haiveeotee 60,000/ l of Lord The same party have also voted 20 , 0 0 Valletort, the Tory candidate for Cornwall, So that it would seem that these conspirators against the prerogatives of the Crown, and the liberties of the People, imagine that they can buy the county of York for 50,0001., ai:d the county of Cornwall for 20,0001. What miserable infatuation is this ! But so it is. Men always eatimate the qualities of others by their own standard...a n d, b e . -cause they are corrupt, they think that Others, must be c.errupt also. We have not heard Whether or not tl e Charles-street conspirators have voted any thing in sup port of Mr. Dugdale, the late Member for Warwickshire. If they have not yet done this, there is no dottbt they svill ; for we understand it is their intention to send traitor candidates 'to every county, city, and borough, where there is the slightest chance of success. It is true Mr. Dagelale may be considered by them as doubtful, he having voted for the second reading of the Bill, and promised to support the schedules A. and B. But, be this as it may, there can be "no mistake" about Mr. Dugdale in War wickshire. The freeholders of that great county cannot hesi'ate a moment between him and Sir Eardley a most excellent and able man, who will, of course, pled g e 'himself to support the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill; or, what amounts to the same thing, promise to vote with Ministers upon all divisions on the Reform question. We have wandered from the subject with which we started—namely, the propriety of voting against Mr. Ward. The advice, however, which is applicable to the city of London, is applicable to every other place where an opposition is likely to occur. Whatever may be the private friendships of individual Reformers, we - would say, ansl most emphatically, Mry must oppose the traitor candidates, or he content to be consi dered participators in the treason. Upon ordinary oc casion- it is, perhaps, allowable for men to sacrifice something to private friendships. But the present is not an °edit' ery occasion ; on the contrary, it is an occasion which does not occur once in many renturlea—it is an oc• sion in which Englishmen are called upon to defeat, by their patriotism—by the conatitutioeal exercise of theelec tive franchise—a foul conspiracy, the object of which is to subvert the prerogatives of the Crown and the liberties of the people. There are many people who think—and think, perhaps, truly.—that Mr. Ward is better adapted for a Member of Parliament, for all general purposes, than either of the other candidates ; hut it should be ever borne in mind that the object of the present election is confined to the currying of the Reform Bill, and that upon its results derend the freedom or the slavery of the people of Eng lard. We have not the !eat doubt in the world that, it Mr. Ward would retire, he would be elected aft er t h e _ _ _ - P a s ites of the Reform Bill. If he sho u ld no t, h owever, 'adopt this course, he will prove himself, like the Cleartes.. street conspirators, to be a tlecided—a most decided— supporter of tyranny and corruption, and, as such, totally unworthy of the future confidence of the people. It mu.t not be expected that the great struggle in which we are HOW engaged will, like the petty squabbles which have hitherto taken place, ever be forgotten. Oh no !—the names of the men who are engaged in it will, for good or for evil, 14 praise or for execration, be banded down to the latest posterity. Men wilt, in future generations, point to the names of their ancestors who voted for the Reform Bill with the same feelings as the descendants of the Barons of Runnymede, or the signers of the American Declaration of Independence, do to those of their illustrious preJecessors. Byron has said " they never die who fall in a great cause," and we may add that they never die who triumph in a great cause. Acts of virtue or of patriotism, whether tailing or succeeding in their objects, are alike inemort el—they are the best legacy a man can leave to his children, for th'-y teach by example, they animate to virtue his latest posterity. We hope and CCU.c chat the name, of all rho c who vote for patriotic candidates in the present election will be collected and published in a volume, which we would have called the " Great Book of Reform." We understand that the gentlemen who took the lead at the meeting of the Liverymen yesterday for the support of four Reform candidates were fir the most part, at former elections, supported by Mr. Ward. We need scarcely say that they have set a sp',2tlid example of patriotism, by thus sacrificing their private friendships upon the altar of public principle. (From the Times.) We are not yet able to announce the actual formation of 'any Conitniwe for managing the subscriptions offered from all quarters in fartherance of the general object of Re form. S,veral eminent individuals and capitalists in the City have had, however, the subject under their setions considaration, whose names will no doubt shortly, be made public. In the mean time it is earnestly recommend e d by all tho-e who have the success of the great question ;.t heart, flirt tie persons who propose assisting it by their purse will bring themselves into communication with tie Committees formed for conducting the elections of Re tOrm candidates in the various counties and boroughs in the vicinity of the metropolis, ant give to them the been fit of such assistance. This suggestion has been so generally approved of, that many have alreaded acted upon it, so that the cause is suffering :Jo detriment front the delay in forming a general Committee. The City election is, we think, quite save. Mr. Ward's friends are canvassing for him with great reel, but the other party is employing equal activity, and acting with the very useful determination of uniting t! e interests of the candidates favourable to Reform, whatever their pre tensions in other respects may he. This is a s rcrifice which the good of the cause demands, and which will therefore certainly, we are assured, be made in the present instance. Nothing hut the elections and the Deform Bill now occupies the attention in the City. Foreign politics are wholly disregarded. The Funds, too, rem iin neglected, and the Stock-Exchange almost without business. --- Ipswich is secured. Mr. MORRISON and Mr. WASON have been invited by the independent elec tors to oppose Mr. Mactrt NNolsr and Captain FITZROY ; and we have no fear fur the result, although the contest will doubtless be a sharp one ; but Mr. MORRISON'S name is in itself a host, and of Mr. WA SON it is quite sufficient to say, that the public is indebted to him, and to him Wone, for exposing the infamous venality of the Liver -1 00l electors. Of course these gentlemen are supported by the Government interest. CANVASSING POLITICAL JUDGES.—(From a Correspondent.)—Since the bad days of CHARLES I. the Judges of the land have held a decorous and dignified neutrality upon political questions, that is now at an end, and those bad days are renewed. Now the Judges of the I md, some of them at least, ar e leaguing themselves against both KING and people to support the borough faction; the Judges are helping the men who on•ra , e the law and violate the Constitution ; those reverend Ji7dgi's are help ing the men who raise a fund to promote bribery and per jury. This is so shocking, that it will only draw down universal indignation upon them. What is the cause of all this, men naturally ask themselves. Simply this : those Judges expect that a Reformed Parliament is very likely to ask another question—and it is this, Why atih',o,lll..l),;lntlges have 5,500/. a year salary in such times as CIJNIE ERLAND.— A sever © contest is expected for this e ountl ) , ,,, a u s all h the influence of the LOWTHER fa mily will be gt to hear upon it. Lord LOWTHER gives up the representation of Westmoreland, and stands for Cumberland as thee The freeholders of tue latterl,Ponent of Sir JAMES GRAHAM. a c:ntY, however, are on the alert. They have seleeted the associate of Sir JAME S GRAH.A 31, WILLIAM lILAMIK of the requisite Nook, a zealous reformer, an d ;' E N , of Thaekwood talent for business.

TO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT FREE MEN OF THE CITY OF GLOUCESTER. GENTLEMEN, IMMEDIATELY upon the Dissolution of the late Parliament, in compliance with a pledge I made at the last Election to my gallant friend Captain Berkeley, I issued an Address to the Freemen of Glouces ter, declaring my intention of refraining from again`offer- ipg my services as their Representative. At that time I was not aware of the very flattering manner in which my public conduct had been appreciated, nor of the anxious wishes which have been so universally expressed that I should again offer myself. Still less could I form an idea of the extremely handsome way in which the friends of Captain ll,rkelev have come forward to exonerate me from the promise alluded to. Notwithstanding all this, how ever, I should have paused ere I again presented myself as a Candi.late before you, but a Requisition most numerously and respectably signed, calling upon me to suffer myself to be put in nomination with Captain Berkeley, leaves me no. longer a choice, and I feel myself impelled to comply with a wish conveyed in so gratifying a way. Under these circumstances, then, I appear before you ; and if it should he your pleasure to return me again as your Representative, I will continue to discharge my duty ho nestly anti independently. The day of Eleciion in fixed for Monday next, when I have no doubt that the friend's who have so nobly invited me will give me their support upon the hustings. I hare the honour to he, With gratitude and esteem, Gentlemen, Your devoted and faithful humble servant, Gloucester, April 26, 183 1 . EDW. WEBB TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF NEWARK. GENTLEMEN, DESIRE not needlessly to agitate your -C - 31k- town, has induced me to withhold any public Ad drcss till my canvass was completed. That has now been done, and the result promises the most triumphant success. NVith the deepest feelings of gratitude I, therefore, now announce that I have once more taken my stand as the champion of your rights and liberties. I trust you know rue. Day and night, hand and heart, will I devote to the glorious cause which now binds us np in one great and eommon interest. Let every man do his duty. I will never re►reat, nor flinch from mine. I am neither an insidious enemy, nor a lukewarm friend to the great and healing measure of Reform. My best efforts shall be directed to the support of our beneficent King, and his upright Ministers, in the fur therance of this glorious object of their exertions and your wishes. . _ Our great and good Monarch has been faithful to his people, be you true and loyal to him—be not deceived by false professions. The enemies of Reform, conscious they cannot meet us in a flir and open field, will strive to mingle among us under the hypocritical mask of friends,—but trust them not,—tome profess to be friends to a more limited, others to a more extended Reform ; but the con_ duct of both is alike destructive of Reform, for it is certain that it the plan proposed by Government be defeated there whl he no Reform at all. The King, his Ministers, and their Reform—and no other, therefore, must be the test by which you try your candidates. Be true to your elves, and we must and will he tr'utophant. Believe me, Gentlemen, with the most unfeigned respect, Your ever devoted and faithful servant, and ardent lover of our King, and a true friend of Reform, THOMAS WILDE.

This delay is in order to enable the citizens of the first metropolis in the world to complete their prepara tions, and receive their high.mitided, truly English MoNAßett in a style Worthy of his exalted claims, and their well-known hospitality. We scarcely need suggest—for the gratitude of the people We understand that SirJAAtEs NiAcKINTosn and Lord WATERPARK, the late Members for Knvesbo rough, and both of whom voted for the Reform Bill, are to be opposed by Mr. ENTWI,PLE, a Tory, from Rochdale, who studiously avoids ad mention of his suatiments on this important measure.

A circular, containing simply these si gn ificant words:— Choose any man possessed of ought to give," has been sent by way of jeer to many of the Cambridge voters. At the Surrey Theatre, on Saturday evening, so great was the enthusiasm in favour of our beloved So- YEREIGN, for his noble conduct in dissolving Parlia ment, that at the end of the first piece " God save the King" was called for, and, at its conclusion, three cheers were given. At the end of the entertainments it was again called for, and it concluded with cheers for the KING, and sundry groans for the rotten boroughmongers. LAW INTILLLICIENCE.-(THIS DAY). ROLLS COURT. SITTINGS OF THE COURT. On it being intimated to the Court this morning by the Regis trar, that it was the intention of the Lord Chancellor and Vice- Chancellor not to sit on Tuesday and Wednesday next, in order to give an opportunity to those gentlemen of the Bar who had to attend at Cambridge to go there, His HONOUR inquired of Mr. Bickersteth, Mr. Pemberton, and Mr. Tinncy, whether they had to attend at Cambridge? and on the former gentleman stating that he had, and the two lattc r observing they were not under that necessity, his Honour said that he should sit on the days in question, keeping out of the paper all cases in which Mr. Bickersteth held briefs. Mr. PEMBER'ION feared that, under such circumstances, the Court would have nothing to proceed with. His HONOUR wished Mr. Pemberton and Mr. Tinney to see if they could not so arrange matters as to have something for the Court to proceed with, if they could not his Honour would not sit on Tuesday. LEITH v. IRVINE. The arguments in this part-heard case, which came before the Court upon exceptions to the Master's Report, vi ere then re sumed, in which there arc upwards of forty exceptions taken, only twenty of which have as yet been disposed of, though the case has been under argument four days. The questions involved in the cause relate to the management of West India property, and are of no importance except to the parties concerned. V ICE- CHANCELL OR' S COURT. Nothing of the slighte t public importance occurred in this Court up to the period of our Reporter leaving. • COURT OF COMMON 'PLEAS. DALGLEISH r. HODSON. This was a special case ordered by the Court, on a motion for a new trial. The case was tried before the Lord Chief Justice, and the facts were as follows :—The ship George, of Liverpool, sailed from that port with a cargo for Buenos Ayres, having a knowledge that that port was then in a state of blockade. When the ship arrived near to that port, one of the Brazilian blockad ing ships coming in sight, the Captain of the George immediately drop; ad his anchor, in expectation of either being warned off; or hearing that the blockade had been raised; but as soon as the Brazilian Captain came on board lie captured the vessel. An action was brought against the underwriters, and a verdict of 3,0001. was found for the plaintiff. This morning Mr. Serjeant SPANKIF., on behalf of the plain tiff, showed cause against the rule for a new trial, and con tended that the Captain had committed no breach of the blockade—that he did not intend to do so, as was proved by his dropping his anchor when he could have run away, which it was proved at the trial he could have done, and also that the condemnation of the vessel by the Foreign Prize Court was not good evidence here that he had broken the blockade; and further that, though the Captain was aware of the blockade betbre Me left Liverpool, it could not be maintained that that constituted any breach of the blockade. On the other side, Mr. Sergeant JONES considered that the Captain was bound to make inquiries at Monte Video as to the state in which Buenos Ayres then was, and that he had broken the blockade, for it was not to be allowed that a ship was to come within a mile or two of a blockaded part, and then for the first time to make inquiries ; in the first instance the inquiries would have been good, but in the latter lie maintained they were bad in law. Also he contended that the sentence of the Brazilian Court was sufficient evidence of there having been II breach of the rules of the blockade, and that the underwriters ought not to be liable for the Captain's neglect. The Court thought the question one of great importance, and would take time to consider their judgment. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(HIN DA Y.) FROM LLOYD'S. PORTSMOUTH, APRIL 26.—Wind S. to S.

The Wheat trade remains as reported on Monday, with little doing. Barley also is 'unaltered. Beans and Pease are firm at iast quotations. Oats find buyers slowly at the terms last quoted. The Flour trade continue very heavy. will doubtless hats alr;.a.dy anticipated us -that his MAJESTY should be accompanied to, and from, the Mansion-house by a body guard of his own subjects, the best and most efficient police officers, and far more imposing than any military cavalcade. We have no doubt that on his arrival at Guildhidl,four staunch reformer-, in the persons of the four representatives of the• City, will be pre_ sewed to him, as a striking proof how completely the patriotic feelings of his MAJESTY, are in unison with those of the metropolis of his empire. A Reform Meeting took place this day at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, for the purpose of re ceiving, and afranging the due distribution of, what ever sums the patriotic and loyal portion of the me. ttopolis may think fit to contribute in aid of th a t glorious cause, which now engrosses the attention of all men from one end of the kingdom to the otht r. The meeting was fully attended by Re formers of every grade add class, and was in all respects satisfactory. Subscriptions have been al ready opened at most of the principal bankin g . houses in the Metropolis, under the title of the. Loyal Patriotic Fund. What loyalist, w h at patriot, what man who respects his KING, his country, and himself will refuse to sub setibe to this fund ? Let it not be said that the boroughmongers were enabled to amass larger sums to promote the rause of corruption, than the people to promote that of the Constitution ! A most miserable failure, in the shape of an ad journed Anti-Reform meeting, was got up this day at the Freemasons' Tavern. A more pitiable affair was never heard of. The numbers at the very outside consisted only of nineteen, including three atomics! There was, no speaking, for after considerable in vestigation it was ascertained that not one tf the squad knew how to . speak. One gentleman, indeed, disburthened' himself of something which a charitable listener might perhaps term a speech; but his courage failed him before he could accomplish three sentences, and, in the agony and confusion of the moment, he sate down with an abrupt proposal that the present meeting should be dissolved, and that the members should retire to discuss matters in private. Altogether the affair had very much the aspect of a funeral party. We wish CRUICKSHANK had been there ! The following are extracts from German, Dutch, and Lisbon Papers, received this morning : VIENNA, APRIL 14—According to accounts from the Polish frontiers of the llth inst., a spirit of discontent is spreading more and more, especially among the peasantry in those parts of the kingdom of Poland which lie on the left bank of the Vistula. A sensible scarcity of provisions is felt in the country, the little that was on hand is sent to the army, and the operations of agricul. ture are nearly suspended for want of seed corn. The Globe of Pal is contains a letter from Florence of the 24th of March, which has the following sentence :—"1,6u0 Austrians have just marched through our city, on their way to Rome; Tuscany begins to move; the arrival of their troops has excited an extraordinary fermentation among thepeople." This is another specimen of the kind of news which the Jour.. Hats of the faction are not ashamed to lay before their readers! CON'STANTINOPLE, MARCH 11.---(From a letter.).—The Porte manifests by almost daily ordinances, its zeal in prosecut ing the plans of civilization, which it has commenced. It seems that we are to have a University, at least it is known that the Sultan has asked the French Ambassador, Count Guilleminot, for a plan. According to this plan, instead of the Latin language employed in the French academies in the elementary classes, the ancient Greek would be intro.. duced, and then the learning of the French language be espe cially attended to. The salaries of the professors and all other expences to be defrayed by the State, and all Turkish subjects, without distinction of religion, to be admissible. The patriarchs of such nation are in future to have the regulation of the pay ment of the poll-tix." The Courrier de Smyrne gives the chief articles of a hatti scherifYwhich the Sultan has issued in favour of the Rajas, and for the introduction of a better administration in general. Every Rajar subject of the Porte protected by the other Powers, who has obtained the Ottoman flag for the Purpose of navigation, shall enjoy the following privileges :—The Captain wears the uniform of the regular naval troops ; the sailors have not to pay either the poll.tax, karatsch, or any other personal tax. Goods shipped under this flag are to be allowed a reduction of 10 per cent. on the duties fixed by the tariff; for the most favoured European flag. Vessels under the Turkish flag shall be absolutely exempt from search. The goods belonging to the Captain and crew may be conveyed and told wherever the owners think it advantageous, without the Government being entitled to a new trau'it duty. 7 1 - he sailors shall be inscribed in the Capitan Pacha's The Rajas, that IS, the Ciieekb, Aentrmians, Catholic Armenians and Jews, as well as the Turks, shall he equal in the eye of the laws ; nor shall a' Mussulman be entitled as such to any exclu sive privilege. In all the parts of Rumelia that have suffered by the war, the Sultan has caused sums of money to be distri buted, and will send cargoes of corn, cheese, butter, and other provisions to be distributed gratis among the poor Rajas. He has also given 1,000 purses to the Holy Sepulchre. In order to defray the expences connected with the enormous load of debt, it is resolved, that all the Greeks in the Turkish dominions shall pay a piastre per head fbr the benefit of the holy places, to redeem the debt which has been swelled by the bad conduct of the Pachas and of the Greek Priests, and to defray the expenses of repairing th e temple of the Christians. 'I he Sultan has formed a plan to organize a police in the European system, and with this v ew has asked the foreign Ambassadors for a list of all persons known to them ; for.,on a gross calculation, it is found that two indivi duals out of three are without any protection whatever, which gives occasion to a thousand abuses equally unpleasant to the' Porte anti to the Ambassadors themselves.

HAGUE, APRIL 2-1.---The amount subscribed to the loan of forty-two millions, was on the 2'2d, (as far as known) 11,28.5,300 florins, a very - large sum, was subscribed from yesterday. On Thursday last, Prince Frederick reviewed the second brigade of the Ist division, consisting of 5,000 men, on the heath of Ginneken. On Friday he reviewed the Ist brigade, and yesterday several divisions of cavalry. His Royal Highness was highly satisfied with the good appearance and discipline, and precision of thr troops, lie was everywhere received with the loudest acclama_ tions of the troops. Reports from Maistricht, of the 15th, say that every thing in the fortress is in the best condition, and that the inhabitants are daily supplied with provisions in abundance from the neighbour ing villages. The Assurance Company at Antwerp has addressed a remon strance to the French and Belgic Governments, and to the Con gress at London, against thenew Act for regulating the naviga tion of the Rhine, which is very unfavourable to the trade of A ntwerp. We learn that the Lieut.-Generals commanding divisions are now at their post, except the Duke of Saxe Weimar, whose pre— sence is still rc . .quired in Luxemburg. His division is com manded ad interim by General de Tombe.

" The beneficial effects which will result from . the Bills which you have passed for the improvement of the roads and bridges, and of the internal navigation, will extend to most townships. I have no doubt that the constitutional grant which has been sanctioned to complete the direct line of the Welland Canal to Lake Erie will be sufficient for that purpose. " GENTLEMEN OF THE. HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, " I thank you, in his Majesty's name, fire the supplies which you have voted for the public service, and you will perceive from the accounts of the revenue, arrising from theduties levied under the Act of 14 George 111., and from the statement laid before you of the salaries of officers of each department, and of the funds on which they are . borne, that the public expenditure of the officers of the Government have been reduced, except on those charges which depend on the increased population. " HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN, " The expellees of the Civil Government which were sup ported till the year 1827, by the liberal grants of the Parent State, can now be d,efrayed entirely from the duties raised under the Statute of the 14th George III." In the list of Bills which have received his Excellency's sanction, we notice the granting a limited Civil List during the life of the King, and that making an appropriation of :.0,000/. for the NVe:land Canal.

A long hose of water-proof clath might be constructed, of such a magnitude as that, when inflated, it would have sufficient buoyancy to sustain a considerable number of persons ; straps might be attached to it at pro per intervals, to be secured round the waiate of those whom it was necessary to support. Such an a pparatus, when not inflated, n.ight be folded in a very small bulk ; and a sufficient number of them to save the crew or passengers of any vessel would neither be expensive to construct or inconvenient to carry. With such aid it would be possible for the ordi nary boats, with which vessels are always provided, to ton the crew and passengers to shore. It would I e advisabl, to divide a large hose for such a purpose into a numb er o f se p a r a te air- ce ll s , to provide a ga i nst t h e acc id enta l rup ture of any part of it.

ADDRESS OF THE COUNCIL. OF THE BIP MINGHAM POLITICAL UNION TO ALL THEIR FELLOW-COUNTRYMEN IN THE UNITED KINGDOM. FRIENDS AND FELLOW•COUNTRY3IEN, Deputed by the inhabitants of Birmingham to superintend their polifeal interests, we think it our duty to address you, at this great er;sis of our country's need. Our gracious Sovereign has nobly discharged los duty to us. Let us not be unmindful of cur duty to him, and to ourselves. Unawed b:: the clamours of the Borough faction, and nnseducrd by their wiles, our gracious Sovereign refers to us the arbitration of our own fate. Honour or shame; liberty r slavtry; prosperity or adversity ;—these are the great alternatives before us ! Between these it is given us to take our choice. And can we for a moment hesitate upon the choke which we }hail adopt ? If we do, there is no fate which is too bad for us. We ought to be trampled into the earl h. Our noble King sets at deliance the Omits and machinations of our enemies. His Mini-tors ex hibit patriotism and public spirit unequalled in the history of the world. Ifs patriotic Nobility—such illustrious men as the Dukes of Norfolk and Devon shire, and Lords Grosvenor, Cleveland, and Radnor, voluntarily surrender borough patrt - nage of the value of millions sterling, in order that they may do justice to us! And shall we not do justice to ourselves. Friends and Fellow•countrymen I-- By the liber►y which our fathers earned with their blood,—by the Long glories of our dear country,—by the duties which you owe your King, your children, and your solves,—by the hoarded wrongs which you have endured,--by the British hearts which you have in your bosoms,—by the sufferings of millions of your unhappy countrymen, ridden down under the hay. of a sordid and remorseless Oliga►chy, we implore you to come forward, and discharge your duty peacefully, legally, and effectually, upon this great occasion. Forget for a while all private interests, all private animosities, and all private friendships. Let these be offered up on the altar of our country's safety. Let no violence or discord contaminate your sacred cause. Let no private cares or occu pations prevent you from coming forward at the GREAT CALL of a PATRIOT KING. FRIENDS AND FELLOW-COUNTRYMEN, FREE HOLDERS OF COUNTIES, CITIZENS AND BURGESSES OF ENGLAND, SCOTLAND, AND IRELAND,—We im plore you not to sauffer any CANDIDATE to be re turned to PARLIAMENT at the enbuing Election nho is not a thorough friend of REFORM, and who will not openly pledge lsitaself to support all the great provisions of the BILL OF REFORM brought for ward by his MAJESTY'S GOVERNMENT. By acting in this way you will enure the liberty end the happiness of our beloved country. If you neglect this great opportunity, long years of Anarchy and Revolution await us. May GOD BLESS TIIE KING, aid giant him all manner of prosperity in this world, and bring him to everlasting happiness 'in that which is to come! • THOMAS ATTWOOD, Chairman. (By order of the Council,) BENJAMIN HADLEY, Secretary. Birthingham, April 25, IS3I. GRAND ENTRY OF MR. TENNYSON INTO STANIFORD. (From the Stamford Champion of -Tuesday.) One of the most magnificent and soul-inspiring spec tacles ever beheld in this little borough, took place yester day. On Saturday it became known that Mr. Tennyson intended to come, if possible, on Monday, to offer himself again for Stamford at the call of the Independent Com mittee. It was instantly resolved to meet him, and a bill was published to that effect. This morning by nine o'clock a vast mass of human beings assembled at the turnpilt, a mile from Stamford, with music, flags, and favours. The sight was most inspiring. Between one or two hundred were on horseback in procession; some were in carriages, hut the great majority were on foot. Be tween nine and ten a carria g e and four drove rapidly down the hill preceded by horsemen galloping at the utmost speed of their horses. The multitude shouted, and made the adjoining woods echo to their enthusiasm. Upon entering the town Mr. Tennyson stood forward in front of his carriage, and bowed gracefully to the ladies, who lined every house to eye him pass The cheering was most exhilirating. 'When be arrived at the Tennyson Arms Hotel, he addressed the multitude before him to the following effect : Gentlemen,—You have been repeatedly told that I should never more appear before you : those who to`d you so know better.—(Cheers.) They meant to delude you into that belief, in order to ensnare you. Fortunately, you knew then. alsa—tie betrayers and usurpers of old. - Ye-, we know 'em," from the crowd.) Fortunately, also, you had retained a confidence that I could net violate my pledge to co-operate with you, until you shall be free. —(lmtnense cheers.) How complete your conviction was that I hid never wavered, was proved to me by the recep tion you have this day given me. How grateful is this to Inv feelings, after all the misrepresintations which have been levelled at me ! How much more closely 'lees r.oe. con fidence so tried attach me to you ! The affectionate tie. which before existed between us are strengthened tenfold on my part by this proof of your constancy. Of you, also, I can sincerely say, that I never entertained any doubts. I knew that, while neither threats nor ejectments could intimidate or depress,—so could neither promises of re ward seduce you from your duty.—(lmmense cheers ) Not even those offerings, dispensed with a well-regulated a in dporurinc(eilsyo-ciabl aeef a t t e ( l l ells of t b y i k y eeta:_ — (pc ,, hee i eser! y, a tnd l ate,l laugh ter)—so many for two votes,—so many for one ; but no beef,—not an ounce,—no blanket,—for any man who voted otherwise than for the Noble ill, rquis's friends;—none, whatever might he his need. Oh ! what but disgust and loathing could be produced by so clumsy, so vulgar, and insulting an outrage ! Let us respect high station, when the occupant conducts himself with decency ; let us he anxious to evince our respect for the aristocracy of worth and virtue ; but I dare not trust myself with expressions for Illy feelings of indignation when I think of proceedings such as these..—(Loud cheers.) He has dared to punish those who did their duty—who obeyed the laws,—and who discharged their constitutional trust faithfully. On the other hand he has affected the exercise of a Christian virtue, and made it the pretext for the work of corrup• 'ion.—(Loud and continued cheering.) lie has assumed the guise of an angel of good, to work purposes in which fallen angels alone delight.—(Cheers.) Can such misdoings be endured with patience. Yes ! With such patience as as may be consistent uith other duties : let us exhibit no violence, but let us employ the means in our hands to fulfil those duties. I called on you heretofore to assert your rights—to endure no longer that one who enjoys his rank and title and privileges to maintain those rights—should himself rob you of them. But I now appeal to you on even higher ground. When I was before with you I predicte that we were on the confines of a great political change The signs of the times were not to be mistaken, and the moment has arrived. The best King who ever held th, sceptre of England has seen and been disgusted with the enormities which have been committed. Can any one doubt that while the whole country has wrung with your wrongs, that he, our patriot Sovereign, has been indifferen , to them F He has listened to the cry of the people. 11, has consented to join with the people in put , ing down a tyranny which has dictated to the Crown and oppressed the country. He has selected Ministers to do this good work ; and he has now call( d upon you to support them, and to assist him and them in freeing you from the yoke He o&rs himself as your ally, He finds us the slaves o a corrupt, a selfish, and a heartless faction. Ile wishes t• aid, to, and to give us this opportunity. The result wd dep, nd on yourselves, and others, with Whom the pow, rests of sending proper men to Parliament.—(lmmcns* cheers.) He has shown himself in the character of ya u guardian and protector. He ever will be so. But withom you, be is powerless to give you the relief for which tI country is l a nguishing. He calls on you by the writ he has sent you to act with hint, anx'ous in his own part tO, art with you and for you. His object is to establish for ever your lam ty and happiness. Will you—can you resist this appeal ? No ! at the day of election how nob')' ytru, the men of Stamford. will respond to it. A grateful and admirin; country will bless your efforts.—(Cheers.) The spirit of this contest tbre.tens, we fear, to be of a diff rent character from the last. The conduct of the Marquis of Exeter has so exasperated the" people, that yesterday several skirmishes took place. They commence - 4 by an attack mad , by one of the Marquis's party on a Blue flag, and the consequence w.as, diet repeate I assaults were made by the Rues upon the flags of the Reds, and several were d..stroyed. At niebt the Reds attempted a proces , °ion with tar-bit-refs. The Blue Committee have done all in their power to repress these violences, and issued handbill in the strongest terms for that object. We trust this may have its effect. DREADFUL FIRE AT LORD WAL- SING HAWS, DEATH OF LORD AND LADY WAL- SIN GHAM. This mortaing, a little after two o'clock, a most Mama. , tons event occurred at 55, Upper Ho ley-street, Caven dish-square, the reddence of Lard Walsinghatn, by the destruction of the premises fro n fire, attended, test), by the deaths of Lord and Laity Walsingham. It appeared, that soon after two o'clock, having returned from a party, his Lordship, who slept in the front room of the two p air, retired to rest ; and I , er Ladyship went to her own apart. , anent, which was on the same tier, in the hack part of the house. In a short time, the room in which Lord WA. , siDgh-tm was, was bound to be on tire, hut from what cause is not known, since, owing to the rapidity with which the flames extended, his Lordship, who was in an infirm state of Ito by, fell a victim to the th•vouring element. The Marrs hav'n.;• spread, anal Lady W dsingham being apprized of her imminent danger, unfortunately took the momentary and fatal resolution of precipitating herself frotn the win dow of her apartment in the two pair, lay which accident both her legs were fractured. She was taken to a room over the stables in the rear of the premises, and was in .stantly attended by Dr. Clarke; but from the nature of the wounds, and the dreadful agitation of mind into which her - Ladyship was thrown, hearing of the calamitous event which had happened to her husband, very little hopes were entertained of her recovery ; and she breathed her last soon after five o'clock this morning. &•arce'y a vest ge of property was saved, and the servants, we lament to add, have lost almost their all. Upon the first intimation of the conflagration, the County, Protector, and several other engines were on the spat, when, after very active exertions, the fire was extinguished, being confined to the building where it originated, very little damage being re ceived elsewhere. CORONERS INQUEST. This Jay, at one o'clock, a Jury, consisting of the most respectable inhabitants of the parish, sat at the Weymouth Arms, Weymouth-street, on the bodies of Lord Thomas and Lady Matilda Mary Walsingham. Sir Peter Laurie was present, and interested himself in the melancholy investigation. His Lordship was presetst at the prorogation of Parlia ment last week, and has been under a state of great ex citement ever since, and every night has drank wine CO ex ce ss. Her Ladyship was a Miss Gosling before she was married to his Lordship, and was the sister of Lord Bi-s -ton. ller Ladyship bore a most excellent character for amiability. Archdeacon De Grey, brother-in law of the deceased, is now Lord Walsingham. Mary Rolfe stated that she was lady's maid to the de• ceased, and was with her Ladyship on Tuesday n i g ht about ten o'clock, when her Ladyship retired to bed. She left her Ladyship in bed, without fire or candle. Lord Walsingham slept in another apartment on the second floor, on the opposite side of the staircase. Witness s l e pt in a spare room on the story over Lord Walsinghatn's room. She went to bed about eleven o'clock, and awoke ab int two o'clock, when she was alarmed by the noise of - water running. Sete opened her bed-room window, a nd called " fire." She ran down stairs in her night clothes, and escaped ; hut she could not tell how, she was in auch a state of terror. (A plan of the rooms on the floor where the deceased slept was shown td witness and s he pointed out to the Jury the relative situations of every per son who was in the house at the time of the dreadful oc currence.) There were four rooms on the second floor, and witness did not see the fire in his Lordship's room till some time afterwards. She saw Lady Walsingham after she had leapt from the windaw, she was in dreadful agony, and observed that she believed her Lord was burnt. She did not state why she leapt from the window, instead of going down the staircase. John Richard Elknore, of New Cavendi , h-street, sur geon, stated that he was called in soon after two o'clock th it morning to atteml,Lady Walsinghatn. He found her Ladyship dreadfully wounded, in a loft over the coach man's stable, and on examination he found a cut in the fotehead, another over the eye, the nose broken, and both thigh-bones fractured—the greater part of the bone of the one protruded, just above the knee joint, three or four inches. The right arm was broken, the elbow of which was literally ennobled to pieces. Notwithstanding these nu merous severe injuries, her Ladyship was perfectly sensible, and expressed strong anxiety for the fate of Lord Wal singham, continually exclaiming that he must he lost e nd wished to know if any thing had been heard of him- Archdeacon De Grey, the brofter- in-law of Lord Wal singhain, was present, and asked if her Ladyship had any wish respecting the executing of a testamentary paper, and she replied she was so confused and agonized as to be incapable. She was in a dying state, and a clergyman was inn odic, d, who prayed with her, and a little before six o'clock she emitted from her stomach a quantity of blood—she w,is suffocated. Before she expired she state I that she was awoke by the smoke which filled her room, and she opened the window and threw herself upon the leads below. She said she believed the fire had broken out in Lord Walsingluun's room, and she bad previously expressed to Or. Clarke that some serious accident would occur through his Lordship's carelessness. Jane Mills, house-maid to the deceased, was awoke by the ringing of bells, about two o'clock, in either her Lord or Lady's bed-room. Got up instantly, and Lady Walsingham's servant Faid - the house was on fire. Wit ness said, " Nonsense ;" but ran down stairs on observing smoke, and opened Lord Walsingham's bed-romp door ; observed the bed drapery and the clothes in flames; the smoke and heat were so oppressive she could only call nut, and receiving no answer she ran through Lady W.'s room, and she asked what was the -matter; witness re plied, " His Lordship's bed-curtains are on fire." She ran to another room to get water, but before she could get it, and return to his Lordship's room with the water, a voice cal'ed to her to escape, and she shut the outer door, and escaped down stairs. There was no fire in her Lady's room, and she might have escaped with ease if she had had presence of mind. His Lordship always had a candle and fire in his room. A fireman &posed to finding his Lordship's body, burnt to a cinder, in the ruins in the drawing-room, at six o'clock .• • its morning. Mr. STIRLING, the Coroner, summed up, and the Jury returned a verdict, " That the deaths of the deceased were caused accidentally and by misfortune." The house of Sir THOMAS DENMAN, the Attorney-General, in Russell-square, was brilliantly illu minated on Monday night. This mornin g a proclamation was issued by order of Government, fixing the rates of freightage to be charged by Commanders of ships of war on bullion, jewels, &e.

On Saturday Madame VESTRIS, accompanied by Captain WARBKICK and PHILLIPSON, and her favourite monkey, quitted town fur a western tour, Madame and her monkey being engaged for a limited number of nights at Bath ; previously to their departure, however, Madame VEyritrs, in her own name, concluded an agreement with the Proprietor of the Olympic, for a !ease of five yi,a.s. at a rental of 11001. per annum ; and on her return to town, which will be in about three weeks, she proceeds to mac various alterations and improvements in the theatre, for the better accommodation of the public.
