EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (From the Times Private Correspondent.) PARIS, SATURDAY, FOUR O'CLOCK P.M. Tranquillity remains undisturbed in this capital, and there is at present no reason to apprehend that it may be again speedily interrupted. It roust not be inferred from this, however, that public opinion is so entirely in favour of the course adopted and pursued by Government, as to become the guarantee of future tranquillity. The hulk of the community are really sick of political contentions, and wish not to afford any encouragement for their continuance, by censuring too openly the measures of the Govern ment. Nevertheless, the discontent which those measures have given rise to, is quite sufficiently ap parent among all classes of people, arid Ministers themselves have begun to be aware of its existence. This " state of siege" paralyses all kinds of in dustry, depresses trade, contracts in a great degree the circulation of money, and affects the Bourse in a manner for more detrimental to investment and speculation than the late revolutionary movement had done. People have been anxiously looking into the -llanitetzr every morning, in the hope of finding an ordinance declaring the seige to be raised, and their disappointment has hitherto been extreme. Tile fact is, that Ministers, seeing how far they have in jured the interests of the capital, and committed themselves by their precipitation, would be glad enough to recall the mischievous ordinance, if they thought they could do so before the military trials are gone through, without appearing to retrace their teps from the consciousness of having gone too far. We may, therefore, be pretty sure that the blessings of martial law will continue among us until the ex traordinary Courts, which have been opened in con sequence of it, are closed. Meanwhile, Ministers have been making the most of their absolute authority, in the way of wrests, domiciliary visits, and various inquisitorial proceed ings, in the hope of arriving at some discovery which might enable them to show that the late riots had been in fact the consequence of a concerted plan be tween Carlists and Republicans, and had called for that full exercise of the powers which the Govern ment has displayed. It is, however, understood, that hitherto the police agents have not been suc cessful in making out any organized conspiracy ; nor am I now assured, have they even met with any papers or documents tending to compromise any of the persons who have for some time been suspected of a correspondence with the insurgents of the west. As to the alleged late understanding between the Carlists and Republicans, the idea is Trite prepos terous, and could only have been conceived by those who thought it useful to give to the origin of the riots a much greater importance than it deserved, and to excite public detestation against the Repub -I:cans, by making them appear as the tools of a party which is really and sincerely hated. They did succeed at first in making the Na tional Guards, and others, believe that the Car lists were the prime movers of the riots, and therfore it was that they hastened in such vast numbers,both from the districts of the capital, and the towns and villages of its vicinity, fur the purpose of putting down the detested faction ; but it is by this time universally acknow !edged, that the insurrectionary movement on the evening of the s:h was quite un premeditated, and arose entirely from the state of excitement into which a discontented populace had been wrought by the occurrences of the day. There is still a great number of respectable persons, eye witnesses of the affray at the Place de la Bastille, rvho most positively affirm that it was commenced by an unprovoked, or at least uncalled for, charge of the squadron of cavalry stationed there; and it is hardly to be supposed that an attack would have first been made on the military by a set of people who had not previously concerted the measures by which it was to be followed, as now proves not to have been the case. But as no regular inquiry into the origin of the affray has been instituted, or indeed for a moment thought of by Ministers, no positive information can be obtained from the great number of statements still in circulation, many of which con tinue to be at variance with each other. The prisons are quite filled with the number of persons arrested as actually concerned in the late riots, or suspected of Carlism, republicanism, or any thing else that it may please the police agents to think of. They are all kept an secret. Those who are selected for trial are allowed to consult their le gal advisers twenty-four hours previously to their appearing before their military judges. A great number of barristers propose making an offer of their gratuitous services to the prisoners, and in every in stance they intend advising their clients to declare that they do not acknowledge the competency of the tribunals before which they are made to appear. Whether the Courts-martial will decide on their own competency or not, an appeal to the Cour de Cas aation must arise from such a mode of proceeding on the pact of the prisoners, and it will be then for t hat Court to declare whether the courts-martial are legal or illegal. Most people seem to he of opinion that the judges of the Cour de Cassation will be found less pliant on this question to the wishes of the Government than those of the Cour Royalehave lately shown themselves. Ministers themselves seem to fear some decision on the part of that high Court of Appeal which may stoke their own late proceed ings with nullity and disgrace; and as they do no venture to avail themselves of the state of siege in order to deny its power of intervention in the cages in question, they are using every possi ble underhand manoeuvre to induce the members of ti at Court to declare in favour of the military tribu na's. M. Dupin, Procureur-General of the Cour de Cessation, has lately absented himself from Paris, arid intends remaining away same weeks. It is on him that the duty would have devolved of pleading before that tribunal, on behalf of the Crown, for a declaration constituting the legality of the military tribunals. It is well known, however, that M. Dupin's opinion is against the legality of tl e ordinance which has proclaimed martial law, and he has chosen the pretext of ill health and con sequent want of country air, in order to avoid being placed in the alternative, either of pleading against his own conviction or resigning his office. It is already said, that immediately after the open ing of the Chambers, the opposition in the lower House intend to propose the impeachment of Mi nisters, for having taken upon themselves to sus pend the charter. That such a proposal will be made, I do not in the least doubt; it remains to be seen, however, whether, imperfectly constituted as the representative Chamber is at present, it will meet with the approbation of the majority. Reports have been current at the Bourse, that the Courts of Vienna and Berlin have refused to acknow ledge the Ambassadors sent there by King Leopold, on the plea that he had not accepted the treaty of the 15th of November, with the modifications pro posed by the Austrian and Prussian Governments. It is added, that a delay of three months has been given to Leopold to acknowledge the Austrian and Prussian terms of the treaty, and that, if by that time he has not done so, the Courts in question will withdraw their conditional ratifications, and advise on the course which they may have to adopt. A new expectation has been built thereon, that war between Belgium and Holland will soon take place. To-day the first Court•martial sits on the pri soners concerned in the late riots. It is presided by Colonel Cliateaubodeau, of a regiment of dragoons, perhaps the very same which has had so great a share in the occurrences of the .sth inst. Contrary to previous intention, the proceedings of these Courts are to be public, and it is even said that re porters from the public press will be admitted. Z. P.S. I am this moment most positively assured, that the Duke of Fitzjames and Viscount Chateau briand have been arrested this afternoon, with other Carlists of less note. __..._....... ._.._......_.

PEPIN (of the Sth LEGION of the NA TIONAL GUARDS of PARIS) for lIIGII TREASON. Paris, June 16. At half-past ten o'clock the Court, presided by M. Chateaubriand, Colonel of the 2,1 Regiment of Dragoons, and composed of a Chief of Battalion of Veterans, three Captains of different corps, a Lieu tenant, Sub-Lieutenant, and hrgeant, took their seat, Captain Michel, of the Staff, acting as Capi- Mine I?apporteur. The poisoner having arrived in the covered vehicle of La Force Prison, commonly ealled Panier a Salade, was introduced, with his two Counsel, Messrs. Marie and Laurelu ; his epaulets and cross of July were laid on the table, and shortly after about 15 muskets, with as many bay onets and ,swords, seized in his house, were brought up by an officer of the Court. On being questioned by the President as to his name and profession, the prisoner replied, in a feeble voice, that his name was Pepin; that he was a grocer, and Captain of the National Guard of the Bth municipal district of Paris, and lived in rue Faubourg St Antoine. He appeared to be about 32 years of age, very much dejected, expressing himself with considerable difficulty, rather stupid, and in no manner bespeaking a hero of the barri cades, although enrolled among the decores of July. After the witnesses had been ordered to retire to their room, the act of accusation was read out, the purport of which was that M. Pepin had, on the morning of the 6th inst., fired from his window on the National Guard and troops of the line. The witnesses were then called in, but, owing to the crowd, noise, and the distance at which we were placed, we could not well hear the depositions of the first examined, but we understood that none mili tated strongly against the accused, except that of a General Schramm, who on that day directed the military operations in that district of the city. Hav ing, however, shortly secured a better place, we were enabled to follow the proceedings. A Lieutenant of the National Guard, being exa mined, admitted that he could not well tell from what window the firing had taken place, nor iden tify M. Pepin, whom he had only seen after his a rest. All he could say was, that he perceived an officer of the National Guard making his escape over the roof of the house where Pepin lived, but it was 40t the prisoner. M. Dessalles, a sergeant of the National Guard, stated that he was going to join his legion on the morning of the 6th, when he met the 2d rural le gion, which was repairing to the scene of action. He joined them, and prevented the prisoner being torn to pieces. He also offered to conduct him to the Prefecture of Police. However, as he Has much exhausted, on going down the rue St. Antoine, both from the loss of blood, front a wound in his head, and agitation, he brought him to his mother-in-law, No. 149, in that street, making him promise before he parted with him, that he would not leave the house. Prisoner, lie understands, went and deli vered himself up to the Mayor of the Bth arron dissement on the following morning. M. Pella], another sub-officer of the National Guard, was at the taking of the barricade erected before the house of M. Pepin, with the 16th regi ment of the line. He was acquainted with him for the last eighteen years. Heard shots in the direction, of his house, and saw smoke emanating therefrom but could not say from what windows the shots were fired. There was a great exasperation against the prisoner in the neighbourhood. It was witness who tore off his epaulets and escorted him to the Place de la Basrile, where the National Guard of the Banlieue wanted to shoot him, but witness in• terfered and saved the prisoner, and brought him to the Municipality, where there was no military post. He was then proceeding with him to the Prefecture, but finding him much exhausted, and fearing he might be ill-treated by the people, he left him, on parole, at his mother-in-law's home. M. Fournier, Colonel of the regiment of in fantry, was ordered to take ten companies of his regiment to the Carousel, where he was placed under the orders of General Schramm. He thence proceeded to the Place de la Bastile; saw a barri cade raised across the rue Faubourg St. Antoine, behind which were collected a great number of bourgeois and some National Guards. His men wante d to be led instantly to the charge, but he declared that he had orders not fire until! he was attacked. Immediately after, the 16th regiment, heating the charge, advanced by the rue St. Antoine, w i t h t he 2d rural legion. Thirty or forty shots were fi re d f r om the windows. One of his officers came up to him, and told him that a Captain of the National Guard was firing from the corner house of the Faubourg St. A n toine. He proceeded in that direction, but did not see prisoner. The firing, however, still con tinuing from that house, he rode up to General Schramm, to request he would send two pieces of artillery to play upon it. Meanwhile, haijpg re turned to his regiment, an dicer of grenadiers came up and told him that he had gone to the house to remonstrate with the Captain of the National Guard, and that the latter had replied that he had 20 more cartridges at his service. The firing, as well as he could recollect, came from the two windows of the house in Rue de la Roquette, and not from that (M. Pepin's) which looked into the rue St. Antoine. The Advocate took advantage of this lust circum stance, to argue that it was not his client th a t fired, since here existed no communication between the two houses. The next witness was M. Favelar, a Lieutenant- Colonel of the 16th, who said he was with his regi ment at the taking of the barricade, which they stormed in about five minutes after receiving 30 or 40 shots. A shot from the first floor of the corner house killed a grenadier by his side. He saw an officer of the National Guard at the window, and cried out to him to come down and join them, say ing that it was a shame for Frenchmen to be firing on one another ; but he did not attend to his invita tion. The artillery was then brought up. Three cannon•shots were fired into the house, the doors were broken in, and M. Pepin was taken prisoner, after some resistance. He remarked that his hands were black, seemingly with powder, but being on horseback, he could not verify the fact. Shots had been fired from the first and second floors, and, as well as he could judge from the place where he stood when the grenadier was killed, they came from windows looking on rue St. Antoine. M. Pimbert, Lieutenant of the 16th regiment, deposed to being told that the firing proceeded from a wine-merchant's house. He saw an officer looking out of the third floor, but could not tell how lie was dressed, having only remarked his silver epaulets; he could not say it was the prisoner. After the ar tiller), had played on the house, he went with a few grenadiers to break it open. They penetrated by the grocer's shop and took M. Pepin prisoner. He cried out to the soldiers not to kill him, to spare his wife and children, that he had not fired. On visiting his apartment, which he did in a hasty manner, he .only discovered an old musket, which had not been fired, and a rusty sword ; he did not perceive the muskets produced before the Court, nor did he ex amine his hands. An Adjutant-Major of the eighth legion, related the circumstances that accompanied the apprehen sion of the prisoner. We saved him from popular fur l •. Prisoner told him he had not fired, but on looking at his hands he saw that he had, and up braided him for it. His hands smelt of powder. he was not present when the firing was going on. The Court was left sitting. M. Jules de la Rochefoucauld, Aide-de-Camp of the King, was seated, during the trial, behind the Court. The Duke of Fitz-James and Viscount de Cha teanhriand are said to have been arrested, and the Duke of lielluno to have absconded. (From the Journals.) The Duke of Orleans reached Toulon at five o'clock in the afternoon of the 11th, the Mayor and other authorities meeting him at the gates, and the whole population greeting him with the warmest ac clamations of welcome. A telegraphic despatch of the 14th announces that his Royal Highness had embarked on board of the Sphinx, to proceed to Arles. The Alonileur contains a report from the Minister of the Interior to the King, whereby, after eulogising the enthusiasm with which the National Guards an swered the call of Government, rallied round the na tional standard, and overthrew the odious emblems of a period of blood and anarchy, in which contest many of them received honourable wounds, and some fell victims to their courage, leaving families in mourning and distress; it requested that his Ma j,sty will authorize the application of a portion of the credit of 5,000,000 francs granted by the law of Nov. 6, 1831, to the relief of those who were wounded, and to the families of those who fell either in the late events at Paris, or in the West. To this proposition the King has affixed his approval. The Monilcur has also a royal ordinance, de claring that there shall be rimmed two battalions of light infantry, to be called the first and second battalions of Africa, each containing eight companies of fusileers, the strength of each battalion to be 28 officers, and 1,005 non•commissioned officers and privates. The Government has received repeated offers from the National Guards of Paris and various parts of the kingdom to march against the insurgents in the West ; but they have been declined, from the conviction that the measures already taken, seconded as they have been by the zeal of the National Guards in the disturbed districts, must very shortly completely extinguish the rebellion.—Moniteur. The Journal d' Indre et Loire of Tours, of the 14th instant, says—" M. Sarrut and M. Boussy, editors of the Tribune, against whom warrants of arrest has been issued, have just been apprehended at Blere, near Tours, where they were without passports. Six columns of the .11forritertr are occupied with a letter addressed by Gen. Jacqueminot, Chief of the Staff of the National Guards, to the Minister of the Interior, accompanying copies of three reports from Generals Gabriel Delessert, Schramm, and Tiburce St-bastiani, upon the proceedings and conduct of the d &rent divisions of the National Guards and troops under their command respectively, during the sth and 6th instant. The occurrences they re late have, in all essential points, been already before our readers. LINCOLN CITY ELECTION. FRIDAY—This morning at nine o'clock, the Reverend Humphr•.y Sitithorpe, attended by a numerous assembly of clergymen, officers on half-pay, and lawyers, &c. &c., proceeded to canvass the electors in behalf of his brother, the Gallant Coknel. All the old Tory machinery was put in requisition, after the fashion of the Marquess of Exeter at Stamford, namely, a set of hired blackguards and bludgeon men, to the terror and annoyance of the peace able inhabitants. The party were escorted by a superior band of music, and there was a vast splendid display of pink and white banners, amounting in number to fifteen. Two flags were most elegantly decorated, bearing the mottoes, " Silitho:)e, and Independence," and " King and Constitution," the old Tory device. We are told that notwithstanding every effort was used to screw those e'ectors who are at all under the influence of the Sibthorpe family, the party experienced the most indifferent success The inhabitants who are enfranchised by the Reform Bill invariably refused their suffrages. Mr. Heneage and Mr. Bulwer are supported by the pow erful cooperation of the middle class of the electors•—men on whom reliance can be placed—men who will not flinch —men who were at their post in a recent time of danger, and who, when the proper period arrives, will not violate their solemn pledges. This day Mr. Heneage and Mr. Loadon, the agent of Mr. Bulwer, completed their canvass, and their election is safe. In the evening, it was very evident from the tone and temper of the Sibthorpe party, that a violent collision would take place between them and the Blues. One dense mass of people was congregated in the main street, and the Sibthorpe party, by violent gesticulations, and provok ing language, used every means to cause a breach of the public peace. In this state of thing., The Rev. H. SIBTHORPE appeared on the balcony, in front of the Saracen's Head Inn. He congratulated the electors on the unqualified support which he had received in behalf of his brother.—(Cheers, hisses, cries of " Now, hear how a parson will tell a lie," and laughter.) It was very true, Colonel Sibthorpe had not, by his political conduct, met the wishes of some of the electors—(Cries of " Yes, he has served us up a very nice dish of poli tics")—but he believed he had acted honestly from con viction.—(No, no.) Ile disavowed any coalition with any party, and in conclusion, amidst great uproar, drew the attention of the electors to the vote which the Gallant Colonel gave on the Belgian Loan question, and to the votes which he had given for the repeal of taxes, and for the abolition of all places, pension, and sinecures.— (Cries of " him, burke him, he voted against Re form ; put your hat on and go home.") Mr. HENEAGE returned thank., in an eloquent speech, and was loudly cheered by the Blues. Mr. Loa DON followed, and was likewise loudly cheered. Mr. HITCHINS then presented himself as the agent of Mr. Heneage, and congratulated the friends of that gen tleman on the successful canvass that had just terminated. —Here a most indescribable scene of confusion arose, oc c otioned by some of the violent partisans of Colonel Sib thorpe; during which there were cries of " Humphrey Sibthorpe, why don't you keep your hired blackguards silent ?" Mr. SIETIMAPIC entreated them to be silent. M. liercrusis observed there were some persons who disliked nothing so much as truth.—[Here the uproar became tremendous, amidst loud shouts , of " Drive 'em ! drive 'em !" The Blues, in a twink ling, proceeded in a body to the Reindeer Inn-yard, and armed themselves with most powerful bludgeons, and marched out rank and file in front of the inn. The Sib thorpe party immediately reinforced themselves with mop sticks, staves, and every weapon within their reach, and !fished into the street in front of the Blues in tremendous array. The more quiet part of the spectators, including many respectable females, immediately retired, and the street presented a scene which we shall not soon forget. To add to the excitement, the Pinks fixed two quartern loaves on poles, which were soon pulled down. The bel ligerent parties approached each other, waiting wbo should strike the first blow, amidst shrieks of t' rror, the smash ing of several panes of glass, and the transit of sticks and missiles through the air. The streets presented a forest of sticks. In this state of things, Mr. Hitchins rushed be tween the parties, at the imminent hazard of his life, to prevent bloodshed, and the Blues at length succeeded in driving the Pinks out of the street without any further mischief being done, amidst deafening cheering.] Mr. Hitchins then concluded his address, and thanked God no further outrage ensued. SATURDAY.-At nine o'clock this morning Colonel Sibthorpe, who arrived at his seat at Canwick on the pre vious evening, entered Lincoln in his carriage. Never did any candidate experience a more cool reception. Shortly afterwards, he appeared upon the balcony of the Saracen's Head Inn, and addressed the electors. He rejoiced to ap pear be w fo e rethee a llt r o ed._ rs of L(Cinheceolrns and Hisses.).—(CLe ers He w .) Hisprin a : born and bred in those principles, awl with the blessing of God, in those principles would he die.—(Cheers and aughter.) He had not cringed to any Minister : he voted the Wellington Administration out of office because he thought they were not acting for the benefit of the people: he had opposed the present Government upon the same principle. The Gallant Colonel then adverted to the vote which he bad given on Mr. Buxton's motion, and declared himself the advocate for the gradual abolition of slavery, and for a compensation to the slave-holders. Every vote which he gave on the Baffin question was fully justified by his conscience. He should go forth, supported by lon hied friends; he would stand the result. He would ask their aid, their support, and he would not for one momen , doubt of success.—(Cheers and hisses.) Mr. HITCHINS called the attention of the Gallant Colonel to a speech which he made at Lincoln on the 29th of Jan. 1530, wherein he stated that lie went as far in reform as he (Mr. H.) did.--(" No, no," from the Sibthorpe party.) That he would support any reform short of univenial suffrage, annual Parliaments, and vote by ballot.—(Cheering, and cries of " He did.") Colonel Sibthorpe then proceeded on his canvass, and his reception was anything but flattering. PUBLIC ENTRY OF MR. BULWER. Never before, on any occasion, was there such a " gather ing of the people. The main street was filled for a mile and a half by one dense mass of human beings; and it is calculated there could not he less than 15,000 people present. Mr. Bulwer arrived at the great Bat-gates at eight o'clock in the evening : the horses were immediately taken from his carriage, ropes were attached, and the vehicle was drawn forward by the people. We regret to state that a stone was thrown by a party near the Sara cen's Head at Mr. Bulwer, it happily missed that gentle man, but unfortunately struck Mr. Luadon, his agent. Mr. Believer after having been drawn in triumph through the town, alighted at the Rein Deer Inn, and from a window addressed the electors as follows : —" Gentlemen, I am really at a loss to express the deep and cordial grati tude I feel fur the very fl.ttering and unexpected recep tion you have given me.—(Cheers.) I feel that although we meet for the first time, we are not altogether strangers; and why ? because we are united in the great question of Reform, because we are united by a sort of free masunry, because we have fought in the same battle and shared in the same triumph.—(Loud cheering.) lf, gentlemen, I have not presented myself to you before,—if I have suf fered Mr. Heneage to be first in the field to solicit your votes, it is not from any disrespect to you—it is be cause I was at my duty—at my post in Parliament— it is because the night before last I brought forward a motion against the taxes upon knowledge— (Laud cheers)—for as you have now in your own hands the means of cheap Government you should have also in your hands the means of cheap knowledge.--(Cheers.) I am happy to say that that question has so far advanced, that, although it was not agreed to at that moment, it is certain of speedy success. It was not agreed to at that moment because there are always some people who say that it is never the exact time to do any thing that is for the good of the people. It is always the time to tax the people —(Cheers)—it is always the time to send special Com missions amongst the people—(Cheers)—hut it is never the time to take off a tax from the people—(Cheers)—it is never the time, with some, to pass a law that shall ask every candidate whether he is disposed to assist to benefit the people in the diffusion of cheap knowledge.— (Loud cheers.) You would never have got Reform, if you had not insisted upon it that the time was come when Reform should be granted.—(Loud cheers.) So is it with all other questions—take, for instance, the question of West India Slavery. For 24 years it has been allowed in Par liament, by men of all persuasions, that slavery was bad in itself; but for 24 years, session after session, nothing has been done to remove it.—(Cheers.) Why ? Because it was not the moment. I say, then, the next representa tives whom you return, tell them that this shall be the moment to relieve it.—(Cheers.) There are three of us now in the field. In the first place, there is Mr. Heneage, the Ref , rmer ; in the second place, there is Colonel Sibthorpe, the Anti-Refortner.—(Loud cheers, and uproar, from the Pinks.) I said, in the second place, there was Colonel Sibthorpe, the Anti-Reformer, but you will at the proper time take care that he is not in the second p l a ce.—(Loud cheering and uproar from the Pinks, se - vet al of whom shouted, " You're a liar." Near a desperate row ensued between the parties, the Blues pur sued the Pinks into the Saracen's Head-hard, the gates were closed but burst open, and the party ultimately dis persed. Several missiles were thrown, and the windows of the Saracen's Head again were broken.) Mr. BULWER earnestly entreated his friends to remain peaceable, and, after several other observations, concluded an eloquent speech. He retired amidst tremendous chereing. Mr. LOADER and Mr. HactliNs also addressed the electors. Ii seas eleven o'clock before the proceedings terminated, and the immense a.sembly dispersed. It is feared that unless Colonel Sibthorpe and his brother, the Rev. Humphrey Sibthorpe, use some means to quell the tur bulent spirit of their partizans and disband their bludgeon men, a desperate recontre will ensue before the proceed. ings are closed. The Blues, who consist of the most re spectable class of people conduct themselves with admi rable forbearance. The REFORMERS of BUCKS, and the DUKE of BUCKINGHAM and CHANDOS. Mr. Thomas Dell made an application to Messrs. Cross and Curtis, for permission to use the market house and square for the Reformers' dinner. This leave the lessees conceived not to be in their power to grant, and conse quetly wrote to the Lord of the Manor on the subject, and received the following reply from his Grace on Friday morning : " TO MESSRS. CURTIS AND CROSS, AYLESBURY. " Abingdon, June 13. " GENTLEMEN,.—I am much obliged to you for your at tention in communicating to me the letter which you have received from Mr. Thomas Dell, requesting you to give up the use of the market-square and house, for the purpose of giving a dinner to the poor of the parish of Aylesbury, to celebrate the ' Triumph of Reform.' In fact, your powers, derived from me as Lord of the Manor, do not extend to your compliance with Mr. Dell'a rrquest, even it you were inclined to do so. You are only lease, of the tolls of the market, but you have no authority to appropiate or to convert the market-square or house to any other purpose, except that of holding markets and fairs, established by law. The application from Mr. Dell ought to have been made to me, as Lord of the Manor of Aylesbury. In order, however, that no unnecessary delay should take place, in consequence of that gentleman hav ing erroneously addressed himself to you, I authorise you to inform him, that I decline giving up the market-square and house, or either of them, for the purpose mentioned in his letter to you ; and for this reason—viz. that the object proposed is to express an opinion, and assemble a great concourse of people for the purpose of expressing an opinion, .upon a political question tipon which a great difference of sentiment exists, and which proceeding can not take place in the centre of the town without manifest danger to the public peace ; I, therefore, hold you respon sible, that no such proceeding is held upon, or in, the market-square or house ; and desir e t h at you w ill a pply, if necessary, to the civil authorities of the town of Aylts bury, for legal means to enable you to prevent it. " I am, gentlemen, with great respect, yours, truly, " BUCKINGHAM AND CHANDOS." LEEDS. On Thursday the passing of the Reform Bill was cele brated at Leeds by the constitutional means of a substan tial dinner, on which occasion the new liberal candidates for the borough, Mr. Macauley and Mr. John Marshall, were formally introduced to the electors. The •Leeds Mercury (besides a full report of the speeches delivered at the dinner, but for which we have not room) gives the fol lowing account of the entertainment : " For this entertainment all the available space in that vast pile of building, the Coloured Cloth-hall, was set a part, having been liberally granted for that purpose by the trustees, who, as well as their constituents, are zealous reformers. The upper room of that building, calculated to dine, in one street, many hundred persons, was laid with tables through its whole extent ; and, in,order that a much greater number of the inhabitants might join in the patri otic festivity, it was determined to lay tables in the whole of the area of the Cloth-hall, so as to accommodate up wards of 2,000 persons. The dinner consisted of true old English fare, such, perhaps, (with the exception of the plum-pudding and the wheaten bread) as was common in the days of King John, six centuries ago—namely, roast beef, plum-pudding, and good ale or porter. The dinner was exactly the same in the upper room as in the area, though the price in the former was 3s. and in the latter only 2s. The unsettled state of the weather suggested the propriety of covering the tables in the area with a canvass awning, which was accordingly done. Several public spirited individuals furnished the materials for the tables and canopy. Mr. Robert Pease, the raft• merchant, lent the whole of the wood requisite for these large construc tions; Messrs. Marshall and Co. lent the canvass for the awning; Messrs. Harrison and Singleton lent the poles to sustain the awing; and several gentlemen, chiefly mem bers of the Leeds Association and Leeds Political Union, devoted themselves, with the utmost zeal and assiduity, to the management of this arduous awl magnificent under taking. " The inhabitants, eager to partake in so joyous a ce lebration, bought up the tickets with avidity. About 700 tickets were taken for the upper room of the Hall, and 2,100 for the area ; a considerably larger number of thr latter kind might have been sold, but the sale was neces sarily limited to what the space would accommodate The principal manufacturers, machine-makers, and d)erb of the town, finding that their men were earnestly desirous ~. h ~ •~ ~ `,~ 1 partaking in the celebration, most liberally presented them with tickets. " As it was impossible that the innkeepers who pro vided the dinner should find the requisite number of knives ,nd forks, plates, kc. for so great a multitude, each steward provided these things for his own party, consisting of 12 persons. In order to obtain an entrance to the upper room of the Hall, a window was taken out on the north ,ide of the building, through which the company passed : the admission to the area was, of course, through the gates. On Friday morning, the whole of the preparations were completed ; and so vast an array of tables, both in the are s and the Hall, so abundantly loaded with excellent, though plain, provisions, afforded an extremely interesting spectacle, beyond comparison the finest of the kind ever seen in this town. " The morning of Friday was ushered in with the fir'ng of cannon, and the ringing of the parish-church bells ; and orange flags floated from many a house-top, from the high chimneys of factories, and on the vessels in the river. At twelve o'clock the shops in the town were closed, as had previously been announced by the shopkeepers, in or der that the young men might enjoy the holydsy and fes tivity. The whole town, in fact, wore the air of a great public rejoicing, in which all hearts sympathized." HEREFORD, JUNE 16. The inhabitants of this city having fixed on yesterday to celebrate the triumph of Parliamentary Reform, we itnessed last night an illumination, which, for brilliancy and splendour, far surpassed any other that has ever taken place here on any foi It - 1-r national occurrence. The whole day was spent in preparations, and every one seemed wish ful to surpass his neighbour in the expression of sentiments which are the pride of honest English hearts. In every street nothing could be seen but one mass of light, flip, banners, transparencies, triumphal arches, or wreaths of flowers and oak suspended from house to house. The city was more crowded than on any former illumination, but, unlike any other, it presented every where uninterrupted good order. No scenes of di unkenness or fighting dis graced this public show of true English feeling. The re joicings lasted till very late, and the streets continued crowded by most respectable inhabitants of the city and neighbourhood. The names of Sir Robert Price, Bart., and Kedgwin Hoskins, Esq., Members for the county, and that of E. B. Clive, Esq., the liberal Member for the city, were every where made prominent by the gratitude of the people; but no mention was any where made of the other Member for the city, who has betrayed the best hopes of most of the inhabitants of Hereford, by his un compromising hostility to popular concessions. A few bigoted Tories had taken it into their heads that the gene ral rejoicing would be attended with agitation and dis order, but, thank God, the people possess sufficient good sense ever to disappoint the hopes of the inveterate enemies of their liberties. By their exertions the people of this county have, at the last election, driven into insignificance the Tory interests ; and the inhabitants of this city will, in the course of a few days, insure for the next election the return of another liberal Member. It is impossible to conceive how great is the patriotism that animates all classes. AU the surrounding towns have been equally evincing their joy, dinners were every where provided for the poor, and the same deep and gratifying sentiment seems to per vade all hearts. ELECTIONEERING IN THE NORTH. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) NORTH UMBERLAND.—Two stanch Reformers, Thomas Wentworth Beaumont, Esq., one of the present Members for the County, and Wm. Ord, E.q., M.P. for Morpeth, are candidates for the southern division of Northumber land. Sir Charles illonck, Barr., a quondam Whig, but now a bit-and-bit Reformer, and Mathew Bell, Esq., an acknowledged Tory, are candidates for the same division of the county. For the northern division the freeholders are determined to bring in two tried friends of the people, Lord Howick, the son of the Premier, and Charles Wm. BigGe, Esq., a true, consistent, and uncompromising Whig. Tories are talked of to oppose them, but they will probably follow the example of Alderman Thompson at Kendal, and retreat when they have:had a day's canvassing. DURIIAM.-In the County of Durham there are three declared independent candidates, namely, Hed worth Lamb ton, &q., brother of Lord Durham, John Bowes, Esq., and R. D. Shaft°. A fourth is expected, in the person of Sir Hedworth Williamson. There are two Reformers in the field for the City of Durham, namely, Mr. Harland and Mr. Chaytor,—and one Tory, the Hon. A. Trevor. SUNDERLAN D.—Two independent candidates have offer ed themselves,—Sir Wm. Chaytor and Capt. Barrington. NEWCASTI.E.—There will probably be no alteration here, as the present Members, Sir M. W. Ridley and Mr. Hodgson, have done their duty to the people. Lord LONSDALE has put forward Mr. MATTHIAS Arrwoon, the Boroughbridge champion, as his nominee for Whitchaven. Bah !—Carlisle Journal. REPRESENTATION OF KENDAL.—TiIe in dependence of Kendal has been secured, and the Lowther party fairly driven from the field. Thanks to the manly and patriotic exertions of a few of the independent inha bitants of the town, who with a zeal worthy the cause they were embarked in, came forward in the hour of peril, and relieved the town from the troubles of a political con flict, which, though it would have proved the firmness of purpose, the unsullied integrity, and the undaunted inde pendence of the great majority of the people of Kendal, might, nevertheless, have opened the door to feuds and animosities, which time cou!d never have healed again. The gentlemen comprising Mr. Boom-11,3 es Committee canvassed the town on Monday last, on behalf of Mr. Ilaouctlam, and the result of their labours was, that more than three fourths of the voters gave their promise in favour of Mr. BROUGHAM. The other party, finding this to be the case (they al,o have canvassed the town) re tired from the field on the evening of the same day.-- Kendal Chronicle. REPRESENTATION OF KENDAL—The elec tion for Kendal is literally over. The contest has been brisk as it is early ; and the election is at once prompt and decisive. JAMES BROUGHAM, Esq., and Alderman THostrsox issued each an address, declaring themselves candidates. On Monday morning an active canvass was set on foot by the opposite partisans, and on the evening of the same day a letter was received by the chairman of BROUGHAM'S Committee, announcing that the Alderman had tet fired front the contest ! It was found that at least two-thirds of the electors were in favour of Mr. BROUG HAM, and it was therefore wisely determined to spare the worthy Alderman all further anxiety and expense. The following anecdote, although "ordained out of the mouth of a babe," conveys pretty accurately the sentiments which the electors of Kendal hold of their " parish-born bro ther," the outcast of London. The Thompsonite canvas sers called at a Louse in Highgate, where there was only a little girl, about twelve years of age, when the following dialogue came off:—Canvassers—Where's your father? Girl—He's poorly : what did ye want with him ? Can vassers—We want him to vote for Alderman THomrsox Girl—Nay, then, l's sure he waint ; for he's blue! Can vassers—Well, we want him to vote for a blue : old Tnostrsox is a blue ! Girl—Nay, nay, but they say when he's drunk, he's a yellow ! I---Carlisle Journal. CARLISLE.—TRIUMPH OF REFORM. — The public rejoicings for the passing of the English Reform Bill took place in Carlisle on Tuesday last. It consisted of a grand dinner to all the poor of the district, and a magnificent procession of the Trades and Political Unions of the neighbourhood. An immense concourse assembled, and which would have passed off happily and quietly, had not an accident, which befel some individuals who were standing beneath the hustings erected for the musicians, and which gave way and killed one boy, and seriously in jured several others, marred the enjoyment of the day.-- In the evening the committee, and a large body of reform ers, dined together at the Coffee-house. A large meeting of the Pottery Political Union was held on Monday Itst, in Hanley Market-place, at which it was resolved, that the Political Unions be re quested not to dissolve themselves until the great objects proposed by the Reform Bill be fully accomplished. We have authority to state that the paragraph which has appeared in some of the London Journals, stat ing that the Marquess of LONDO NDERRY has let his cx. tensive collieries for three years , 19 wholl y and entirely incorrect, nothing of the sort having taken place.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Newcastle-upon- Tyne, June 16. I am happy to inform you that Nicholas Fairless, Esq., the Maeistrate, of South Shields, upon whom a most diabolical and murderous attack was made by two pitmen on Monday last, in open daylight, is still living, an l some hopes are yet entertained of his recovery. Jobling, the man who Wit! apprehended as one of the ruffians, was Yesterday identified by Mr. Fairless, and, after a long exa mination was, I am informed, committed to Durham gaol, for trial at the next assizes. If a Special Commis sion is not immediately issued to try the pitmen already in custody for various atrocities, it is hoped that the period fir holding the Assizes will be hastened as much as pos sible. Armstrong, the other person suspected of attack ing Mr. Fairless, has not yet been taken, nor has any re ward been offered for his apprehension. Nothing, it would seem, but strong measures can preserve those who have done their duty in discountenancing the lawless pro ceedings of the colliers from further outrages. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Court Journal. Lord DURHAM has again sustained a severe domestic calamity by the death of his third daughter, the Hon. HARRIF.TT CAROLINE LAMBTON, who expired on Tuesday at his Lordship's residence in Cleveland-row. Miss LAMBTON was the youngest daughter of the noble Lord Privy Seal by his first marriage with Mies CHOI, MONDELET, and completed her 17th year a fortnight pre vious to her dissolution. The remains of the lamented young lady will be removed for interment in the family vault at Lamhton Castle, in the county of Durham, where the obsequies of his Lordship's eldest son, a beautiful youth in his 14th year, were performed a short time ago. The heir apparent to the title and vast possessions of Lord DURHAM is now his only eon, the Hon. GEORGE FRE DERICK WARM' LAMBTON, an infant in his fourth year. We regret to hear that the health of the Noble Lord him self is considered extremely delicate. This being the seventeenth anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, the 2d Battalion of the Grenadier Guard+, which has lately returned from Ireland, marched on Parade, the colours flying, with a large bunch of laurel. At a few minutes after ten o'clock, Lord HILL, the Commander-in-Chief, rode on Parade, and the batta lion being drawn up in double line, his Lordship in spected it, and appeared highly satisfied with the military appearance of the men. His Grace the Duke of WEL' LINGTON, who is the only Chief now living who com manded at that memorable battle, is to present his MA. axsirr, this day, with a tri-coloured flag, according to custom; and in the evening he will give a dinner to the superior Officers who were present at this glorious engage . * ment. The whole of the three regiments of Foot Guards are now doing duty in London. The Grand Duke of MECKLENBURO SCIMEKIN has taken for his second wife a baker's daugh ter, who lived close at his Palace-gates. The people it the Garrick say that his Highness must have very mob " kneaded" a wife. The following mysterious paragraph appears, in the Court Journal of Saturday :—" We have heara more than we choose to report as to the actual state of aa unfortunate Princess, whose health has long been the sulr Sect of solicitation in the Royal circle. It is our provinc e to collect information, not to penetrate mysteries; we shall therefore only say, we are not without fears that , a ' the moment when we write, the illustrious sufferer has ceased to be such. How long this catastrophe may have t taken—if, indeed, it h as ta k en pl a ce, which we do pa t positively assert—is more than we shall conjecture. BY the time our paper sees the light more may be known." The Committee of the Covent garden grand Festival and Ball, in commemoration of the triumph Reform, have distributed the following notice: "It beir l w thought desirable that no celebration of this great eveii; should take place until after the pas s i ng o f t h e S cotc h ar l " Irish Bills, in order that the people of the United Kingdoili may all participate in the general joy, the Committee f ° : conducting the Covent-garden festival have deemed it a u ; visable to postpone the sam e .
