citadel has fot limns I•rpt up only a weak file, like that of tnusketry, hum behind the works, and of bombs thrown from the masked mortars. The fire of the besieged is less brisk than it has been for some days. At 6 o'clock a detachment of the Dutch made a sortie from the covered way of the bastio❑ No. 2, and threw down some gabions of the head of the sap, which bordered on the glacis of this bastion. A company of the troops guarding the trenches advanced to the relief of the sappers, and the enemy retired precipitately to the covered way. The opening parallel to the left face of the Lunette St. Laurent has reached the roadway to Boom, which passes between this lunette and the half-moon. A new passage has been opened to keep up the communication between that which goes from the covered-way of the cnunterscarp and the new place d'armes established to support the head of these new works. It is now possible to attack the Lunette St. Laurent in the breast work, when we shall have silenced the fire of souse pieces whir!,ll still bear on that points THE FRENCH ARMY'. BERCHEM, DEC. 11, EVENING. Last night was a very severe one, and gave proof, is any could be necessary, that there is nothing which may not be exp ec t e d f rom an army which hat confidence in its chiefs. All the young soldiers implicitly follow their of ficers, end one sees in the tlerotedness with which they obey, something beyond military discipline,—a feeling of respect which is called forth by former services, and an .ittachment to their officers created by the great solicitude of the latter for their men. have already mentioned to you that the night before ast was employed in the formation of the third parallel, which, going from the opening on the left of the lunette, joins the works of the counterscarp a short distance from the citadel. It appears that the besieged did not expect that this would be attempted before the taking of the lu nette, for, indeed, i❑ all their operations the engineers have displayed a boldness quite astonishing. It was e asy to perceive at nightfall yesterday that the Dutch were preparing to disturb our workmen on that side, and i❑ a short time. at 6 o'clock—the reports announced the dis charge of bombs thrown at a short distance from the citadel, and they began to fall in the trench in much greater numbers than during the day. Some hours after an approaching fusilade announced a sortie; and, at the same time about 100 of the enemy , at tacked our works, and for the moment threw our work men into disorder, bat being brought up immediately by their racers, our soldiers fought man to man in the trenches. The Dutch were soon obliged to retire in dis order, leaving seven dead in the trench, of which one was an officer. This incident did not weaken the fusilade, which was continued during the night, and was the most brisk which we have heard since the commencement °fats siege. Fortunately, the firing was at random, and in the total darkness of the night did but very little mischief. However, the engineers, taking advantage of the circum stance, that the attention of the besieged was turned to this one point, and excited also by the bullets and bombs thrown at them during the night, exploded a mine, which they had been preparing for three days before, the effect of which was to destroy the sluice in the fosse of the citadel This sluice was fixed near the Porte de Secour, between the bastions No. 1 and 2, and its effect, combined with that of another sluice near the Porte de la Citadelie, looking towards the Esplanade, was to keep the water in the fosse between those two places to a considerable depth. W e shall see in the morning if the calcu'ations made were correct, and if the height of the waters is such a s was hoped for. The effect of the explosion caused a cessation of the file on both sides. For our parts we have gained our object. The besieged have to examine the tffects to them of an attempt, for the hardihood of which they could not have been prepared. (From the Independant.) 13ERCHE11, DEC. 11, 4, P. 31. It is stated, on the authority of a deserter from the citadel, that there are a great many sick in the garrison ; that the casemates, which have not always been found a shelter from the bombs, are extremely damp; that the water gets through them and makes them extremely unhealthy. The shot and shells which have been thrown have destroyed all the buildings--everything that could take fire has been burnt. The parapets and embrasures have been knocked down, and the ground itself torn up and furrowed by our projectiles which have fallen amongst them.. The arming of the new batteries has been effected with a very inconsiderable loss of men, and yet there were great difficulties to be overcome in raising them. In order to place these batteries in advance of the parallel, it was necessary to cut a ❑ew trench, to carry the cannon along a narrow way at the edges of two deep fosses, and also to cross a very narrow bridge. In this passage two of tbe mortars were overturned and fell into one of the fusses, from which it required immense labour to extricate them. Of the two new batteries, one, called No.I I, consists or four or five pieces of 21, and the other, marked G, con tains six mortars of 29 centimetres calibre (about 1:2 inches). The log which prevailed during the whole of yesterday obliged us to slacken our file, and to suspend altogether the fire of those in the direction of the head of the sap, to: we could not distinguish objects at the distance of 100 paces, and our firing in that direction might have been attended with the most serious accidents. Yesterday passed off calmly, but the night was very ani mated. At 6 o'clock a terrific fite of cannon and small orms was opened, and a great number of bombs were thrown at us. Notwithstanding this fire, our 1, ss was only 35 killed and wounded. This morning the firing is continued on both side., but nothing particular has yet occurred that I have heard of. The miners, protected by a small covered raft, are going en with their works against the lunette. They never leave them, yet with all these labours it will require 24 hours yet before we are in a condition to produce any result. The duty of the trenches will on the 11th and 12th de volve upon General Rapatel, M. St. Aubane, Colonel of the 7th of the line, and two battalions of that regiment. 1 find the following paragraph under the head of Liege, dated the 10th of December : " The attempt to send off the enormous mortar, of which we have already spoken, was to have taken place yesterday at noon, but we experienced so much difficulty in its removal that the attempt is put off until to-morrow. This giant of a cannon must be placed on its breach be fore it can be fired. It weighs 15,000 pounds, and will carry a bomb of 21• inches in diameter." W. GERMAN PAPERS. CONSTANTINOPLE, NOV. 10.—As I said in my last, the breaking off of the negotiations has been followed by the termination of the short suspension of arms. Ibra him has resumed offensive operations, and with his usual rapidity has advanced in two columns by way of Aden t to Cesara and Koniah, reaching the latter on the Ist of this month. This rapid advance of the Egyptians towards the capital rendered it absolutely necessary to take mea sures to oppose them ; the Grand Vizier therefore set out on the Bth instant with all the troops which could be col lected to joiß the army, which has retreated from Km:flab. It is calculated that the Sultan's new army will be 60,000 men, that of the Egyptians being 4.5,000. The latter are in deed far superior in moral energy ; but to this is opposed the great military experience of the Grand Vizier, on which hopes of success are founded. But the despotism of the inhabitants of Anatolia is left out of the account, and this circumstance way decide in favour of the Egyptians, for it is well known that the chief men in that province are the most zealous adherents of the Janissaries, and have been, from the beginning of the reform system, in secret hostility with the Porte. There is positive information that, before Ibrahim crossed the frontier of Syria, he re c ived invitations from several cities of Canatnania, with protm,ses of activ e su pp or t ; an d th a t thi s e xample h a d b?en follow e d by many malcontents in Capadocia, which has probably induced Ibrahim to advance eastwards, to wards Cesaria, and so to support the discontented popu iition. Excepting the combined military preparations we have little novelty here. The death of the Reis Effendi, the great abatement of the plague, the giving of the order of the Sultan of the highest cl +as to the Emperor of Rus sia, of the 2d class to IL Van Butmieff, the Russian Am bassador; and of the 3d class to the late Russian Consul in Egypt, who is now here, are but of secondary import ance in the present actual state of affairs.

NUREMISURG, DEC. s.—Dr. Kruz, formerly editor of the Journal Die Zeit, who has been for seven months in prison at Augsbasrg, under prosecution for offence to his Majesty, was obliged, on the Ist of December, to make an apology before his Majesty's portrait, in the Court-house, with open doors, and was then conveyed to the fortress of Wilsburg,where he is to remain in confinement two years.

If, in addition to the already existing examples of the extremity to which the Tories are driven, and how tai -1 scrupulous they a r e o f a tt a i n i ng t h e i r f actious ends by the I vilest means, any further evidence should be required, the following accounts of the proceedings of the Canterbury election may not be uninteresting : The attempt to set up Const3rvativ:: Members two or three weeks ago ha•fing no completely failed, that the can vass was left unfinished, every one expected that things Would pass off quietly, and the former Members he returned without coming to a poll. A mad man, however, who has been lodging at the Rose for some months, under the name of Count Rothschild, but who nos' takes the name of Sir William Percy Iloneywood Courtenay, and who is, by his ot . /h aUb'unt, brother to the Duke of Northumber- I land, son of Lord Courtenay, King of Jerusalem, Knight OF Malta, and Prince of iEthiopia, laying claim, more over, to many estates in the neighbourhood, a day or two before the time. of election suddenly proposed himself as a candidate in a placard bearing evident marks of light ' headedness of the writer, and setting forth political tenets of the most opposing nature, as that he was the ardent ad mirer of Mr. Pitt, the stanch friend of the King of Hol land, the leveller of Bishops, the hater of tithes, and the enemy of all taxation. Could it he believed that party rage has so infatuated the senses of men that partisans of any denomination could become supporters of such a Bed , latnite ? Could it be believed, had we not already seen some instances of the noble spirit which actuates that party, they would he Tories ?—the supporters of the Established Church.—the friends of places and pensions. Yet so it was, a Tory proposed the new candidate, who appeared in the Hall in a crimson velvet dress, attended by a servant in yellow and sky-blue. A Tory seconded the nomination, and respectable Tory tradesmen have joined this lunatic, for the avowed laudable purpose of annoying the Whigs and forcing them to spend money. Truly the Conserva tives are friends of their country, when they wish to see madmen and levellers sitting in the House of Commons— yet we must allow they have found the true and proper representative of their party. Never was there a more just representative of the character and views of the Tories than when the demented Count Rothschild, raving in his yellow dressing gown, urged on, at imminent danger of his neck, a deluded multitude at his carriage pole and wheels, to rush with him in imaginary triumph through the streets of Canterbury. The sum of all is that the town, by the agency of these gentlemen, has been thrown into commotion ; the Com mon-hall, assembled for the nomination of candidates and to hear their explanations and intentions, converted into a scene of absurdity and tumult ; the Members subjec'ed to unnecessary expenses, the people deceived and degraded— because a desperate sect will not tamely and generously submit to the improved conviction of the majority, in conduct resembling the animal called a skunk, who, when driven to extremity, overtaken, and impotent beneath the power of his pursuers, takes his poor revenge by a feetid discharge on his unwary conqueror. YARMOUTH, Drc. 12. Bribery has been quite the order of the day in the eastern part of Norfolk. Our county candidates (Messrs. Windham and Keppel) complain in their printed addresses of the bribes, threats, and intimidations which their opper• nents are practising. By these means Gurney and Ker have lost their election for Norwich, and we have had a most severe contest here. I believe the Tories are to a man opposed to the ballot, and yet they have, by their shcrtsightedness and stupidity, advanced the ballot more than a host of lecturers could have done. You who re member the old majorities of Mess's. Anson and Rumbold may think the present one rather small, but I can assure you that our victory was never greater. I take it for granted that the conduct of certain persons here will be investigated in the House of Commons. Never was bri bery more barefaced. LEEDS, DEC. 12. This town has for the first time tried its hand at elec tioneering, and considering that they are novices at this sort of thing, I am bound in fairness to say that they have acquitted themselves pretty well. Since the day of nomi nation (Monday last) up to the present time we have only to thank the Conservative party, for two or three rows and some trifling three or four dozen broken heads, and the infirmary is under obligations to them for some twelve or fourteen patients. This, lam sure, you will consider trifling, when I inform you that an active person, belong ing to Mr. Sadler's Committee, wished to order 500 blud geons of a turner last night, but the turner was so much engaged that he could only undertake to furnish 100, which the Blue or Conservative party distributed to a set of ruffians; after which they made them drunk, and then let them loose upon the people of Leeds, by way of fur nishing striking arguments as to Mr. Sadler's humanity, which, by the way, he puts forth as his principal recom mendation to the electors of Leeds. How far they believe him will be seen by the result of the first day's poll, which is as follows : John Marshall, jun., Esq 1804 Thomas Babbington Macaulay, Esq. 179'2 Michael Thomas Sadler, Esq. 1351 There is not the slightest doubt as to the return of Messrs. Marshall and Macaulay, the Liberal candidates, the latter of whom is a decided favourite here, from his frank and fair manner of answering all questions put to him. While writing this lam informed that a bludgeon has been brought to Marshall and Macaulay's Committee covered with blood, and that the victim of this Conserva tive propagator of humanity is ❑ot likely to recover. The Liberal Committee have, to prevent any blame being at tached to them, ordered their band to desist from either playing or parading the streets after dark, and the blud geon affair is now undergoing a legal investigation. We have got to k❑ow who the person is who ordered them, and find he belongs to Sadler's Committee. BUCKINGHAM, DEC. 12. You will have learned ere this that Sir T. Freernantle and Sir H. Verney, the Duke of Buckingham's nominee, as he is called here, have been returned for this borough. The latter is a moderate Reformer. Mr. Morgan, the third candidate, was defeated by a small majority. If the opposition to Sir T. Fremantle had been that of a man of decidedly liberal principles it would have succeeded. Mr. Morgan failed, because, soon after be started, he de clared that as a politician he should endeavour to tread in the footsteps of the Marquis of Chandos. This declara tion disgusted many of his best friends, and no doubt ruined his cause. People then said they might as well lave ene Tory as another. BUCKINGHAMSHIRE. Mr. D'lsraeli having been beaten at High Wyeotnbe, starts, or rather threatens to start for the county. MANCHESTER, DEC. 11. This day being appointed for the nomination of the candidates for the representation for this borouph in the first Reformed Parliament, at an early hour the streets were filled with the partisans of the several candidates proceeding in numerous bodies to the arena where the business of the day was to be proceeded with. Precisely at nine o'clock, Benjamin Braidley, Esq., the Borough reeve, Williim Haines, and Henry Forth, Esqrs., the Re turning-officers, took their stations on the hustings, at tended by the officers of the town. Previous to this Mr. Cobbett had arrived in a hack carriage, followed by the very canaille and rabble of the town, and in a most scandalous manner succeeded in breaking the line of spe cial constables which had been drawn up round the hus tings, and whose forbearance alone prevented, thus early in the day, a collision that might have led to serious re sults. EDWARD BAXTER, Esq., came forward, amidst general plaudits. Heshould have the honour of proposing to the elec. t,rs a gentleman, a native of Manchester, of whose talents and abilities the electors had had long experience, and whose acquaintance with its domestic and foreign commercial transactions, from his connexion with both, was well qualifiefl to represent those great interests in the Commons' House of Parliament—he alluded to Mr. Mark Philips._ ( Loud cheers.) JOHN SHUTTLEWORTH, Esq., seconded the nomination. Mr. FIELDEN, of Todmorden, a brother of te candi date for Oldham, and whose strong Lancashire dialect would do credit to any descendant of " Tim Bobbin" him self, proposed William Cobbett, Esq., as a fit and proper person to represent the borough in Parliament. Mr. JOHNSON, the brush-maker, seconded the nomi• nation. THOMAS SHARP, Esq., pronounced an eloquent appeal in favour of Mr. Lloyd, whose nomination he proposed, amidst frequent interruptions from the Cobbettites. Dr. HOLME, a physician of great eminence and exten sive practice, seconded the nomination. WILLIAM CRIRIE, Esq., of the firm of Cririe, Slater, and Co : , solicitors, contente d hi mse lf w i t h s h ort l y putt i ng in nomination John Thomas Hope, Esq., amidst the ,no,t general and determined marks of disapprobation. F. ASPINALL PHILIPS, Esq., seconded the nomination. BENJAMIN HEYWOOD, Esq., proposed the Right Hon. C. Poulett Thomson as a candidate. GEORGE HADFIELD, Esq., briefly eeconded the nomi nation. _ - M ARK PHILIPS, Esq., after alluding i n e l oquent terms to his having come forward in obedience to the requisition I of upwards of 2,300 of the electors, at the sacrifice of his own feelings, proceeded to repeat his declarations with re ference to the important topics to which the attention of the next Parliament would necessarily be called. He was not a mere sucking Reformer—(Cheers and laughter)—. nor was he just cutting his reform teeth, and be was most desirous of carrying to consummation the principles he had ever advocated under the banners of the electors of Man chester.—(Loud cheers.) For many years he had served under the political forlorn hope, in which also his father had served—(Cheers)—but the extension of the suffrage to that town had produced a change, and by the march of 'intellect the forlorn hope no longer belonged to the politi cal pi inciples he professed, but was now attached to those who now served under a banner of a deeper blue than his own.—(Loud cheers and laughter.) [Mr. Philips's co lours are light blue, while those of Mr. Hope are dark.] Mr. Philips then shortly recapitulated the substance of his former addresses, so frequently delivered to the electors, and declared himself in favour of tri ennial Parliaments and the vote by ballot, as the only means of virtual representation, should the present Bill (which he was anxious should be fairly tried) fail in its in tended object. He declared himself opposed to all Govern ment interference in elections, which even now existed in the dockyards, and would be the first to support any mea• sure giving a seat in Parliament, ex-officio, to the tnem hers of the Governm en t, b u t w ith out en j o ying a right to vote. He declared himself an advocate for Reform in the Church (stablisliment, and he would support all Reform general'y in that department, as well as retrenchment and economy in the public expenditure. In short, he was pre pared to advocate those measures even at the risk of in curring the charge of having gone too far. As regarded taxation, he was most anxious for the repeal of those imposts which pressed so heavily upon the lower classes, and the first of these, in his judgment, were the duties upon soap, malt, and hops. Mr. COBBETT, being the next in order, presented him. self amidst the universal shouts of his greasy partisans. He pronounced a reiteration of his already threadbare attack upon Ministers, alluding in particular to Mr. Poulett Thomson ; and the feelings he gave vent to formed the watchword for the conduct of "his supporters (who, though they occupied nearly two-thirds of the open space of.' St. Ann's-square, did not comprise one elector in every 20 grouped together) in the ulterior proceedings of the day. As a matter of course he was loudly cheered in the course of his harangue constituted of all the vulgarisms and low abuse which are the characteristics of this poli tical quack. It is but justice, however, to say, that from some cause or other his abuse was solely directed to Mr. Poulett Thomson when alluding to the election, and on the other candidates he made no attack. SAMUEL JONES LOYD, Esq., presented himself to the electors. The old principles of the Government were now broken up, and it was for the electors of England to form the new Constitution i❑ the reformed Parliament. He was fully prepared to direct the spirit of Reform to all rational improvements calculated to strengthen and reno vate the Constitution, by securing the confidence and affec tions of the people. He sought to accomplish this object by relieving the pressure upon the community arising from unequal taxation,—by a rigid economy in the public ex penditure,—by the improvement of the morals of the people through the aid of the diffusion of knowledge, and by the repeal of such taxation as hitherto had cramped the expansive energies of the labouring classes.—(Loud cheers, accompanied with disapprobation.) Joint THOMAS HOPE, Esq., was the next candidate who presented himself. The scene which ensued beggars all description, and, despite of the efforts of the Rirough reeve, Mr. Cobbett, and all present, it was impossible to obtain even a partial hearing, and Mr. Hope very wisely withdrew. Mr. J. C. DYER, as the representative of Mr. Poulett Thomson, was greeted with a most unequivocal demon stration of unpopularity from the Cobbett phalanx and others, arising from the double fact that Mr. Cobbett had mailed Mr. Thomson as a placeman, and that Mr. Dyer, the locum tenens of the Right Hon. Gentleman, was an American by birth ; consequently the shouts of " No Thomson," and " Down with Yankee Doodle," emanated with great force from almost all parties. The BOROUGHREEVE then took a show of hands, when the result was decidedly in favour of/Mr. Philips and Mr. Cobbett. The show in favour of Mr. Hope greatly pre dominated over that for Messrs. Loyd and Thomson, for the first of whom about seven or eight, and for the latter about 20 hands were raised. The 130ROUGHREEVE declared the show of hands was in favour of Mr. Philips and Mr. Cobbett, and that the pcll which had been demanded by the other candidates would commence at the district booths to-morrow (Thurs day) morning at nine o'clock, to which period the election stood adjourned. Up to the hour at which we write (eight o'clock) the town continues perfectly tranquil, though the exertions of the Committees of the canditates continue unabated. THURSDA r, HALF-PAST 12. The pulling commenced with much spirit this morning. Most of the principal shops are closed, and the streets are filled with anxious observers. The different' polling sta tions are surrounded by numbers, and amongst them the Cobbettites, who wear green bands upon their hats, pre dominate, and ever anon set up a tremendous shout of " Cobbett, for ever." The nomination of the candidates passed off, contrary to expectation, without any attempt being made to break the public peace, with the exception of some slight brawls in some of the streets. Mr. Pou lett Thomson, whose cause is gaining strength, it is anti cipated, will he in Manchester on Saturday, should he be returned as our representative. Colours and flags ars flying in all directions. The following was the state of the poll when our express left : Mark Phillips, Esq. 1205 The Hon. C. P. Thomson 8:33 J. S. Loyd, Esq. John Thomas Hope, Esq. Cobbett 4BO SALFORD, DEC. 12. The nomination took place to-day. The borough is the Southwark of Manchester, contains 50,000 inhabitants, 1,100 electors, and returns one Member. The candidates are Mr. Brotherton, who was instrumental in procuring a representative for Salford independent of Manchester, and Mr. Garnet•, who professes liberal principles now, but who has hitherto been a Tory. RICHARD POTTER, E'q., nominated Mr. BRO'rHERTON amidst loud cheers. JOHN B. SMITH, Esq., seconded the nomination. EDWARD BRANDT, Esq. (a barrister, resident in Man chester), proposed Mr. GARNETT. ROBERT GARDNER, Esq., seconded the nomination. Mr. BROTHERTON then addressed the electors at consi derable length. He said he had been vilified as a Repub lican, but he had always been attached to the form of government of Kings, Lords, and Commons. He avowed himself as anxiously desirous entirely to abolish the corn laws and to open the trade to India and China. He was an advocate for the ballot for the protectio❑ of the voter from all undue influences. He considered the revenues of Church as public property, to be disposed of as the public, through their representatives, thought fit. He concluded by declaring himself an advocate fur the im mediate and unconditional emancipation of the slaves in our colonies. Mr. GARNETT followed. He also declared himself in favour of free trade in corn, and free intercourse with India and China, but he would no go so far as Mr. Bro therton with regard to Church property, regarding it as having been devoted exclusively to the Church. The BOROUGIIREEVE at the conclusion of Mr. Gar nett's address called for a show of hands, which being ten to one in favour of Mr. Brotherton, he was declared to be elected, on which Mr. Garnett called for a poll. The polling will commence to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock. THURSDAY, HALF -PAST 12. The polling commenced this morning at the same time as in Manchester. Mr. Brotherton, the Reform candi date, was considerably at the head of the poll when our account left. We have just received the state of the poll : Brotherton .......................................270 Garnett.......................................... 105 CARLISLE, DEC. 12. TRIUMPH OF RADICAL REFORNI. Monday last was the day fixed upon for the election of two Members for Carlisle. The old Members, Mr. Jam, s, of Barrock Lodge, and Mr. P. H. Howard (the son of our highly-respected High Sheriff), wer e t h e only candi dates up to the day of nomination, and every one seemed satisfied that they would be returned without opposition. In conformity, however, with their usual tactics, the Torieq, it would seem, had ben secretly beating about for a candidate of their own complexion; and this they met with very opportunely, as they must have fancied, in the person of no less a man than Sir John M a l colm. Too late for a chance in the Dumfries district of boroughs, the Gallant Baronet was readily at the service of our little dirty Corporation of corruptionists, and in the ev en t, as i t Ir, s proved, of their not being able to furnish him with a " job of work," he is as ready for the service of any ot h er similar fraternity. H He was put in nomination here by the Town-clerk, and this was seconded by the youngest, but most hopeful, of our Aldermen. Th e polling was deferred until to-day, and this morning, at 8 o'clock, it commenced on the part of the Reformers with promp titude and spirit. The contest was maintained unequally until nearly 3, p.m., when the poll books were closed, on the resignation of Sir John Malcolm. The Mayor an nounced William James, Esq., and P. H. Howard, Esq., as duly elected, the numbers being for Mr. James 478 Mr. Howard.. 472 Sir J. Malcolm 124 Thus, in order to gather for us the produce of that Reform Bill, which we were so strenuous in contending for, and so eager to obtain, we have deputed the satne in dividuals who procured this advantage for us in the last Parliament ; and if we have not been fortunate to the very utmost of our wishes, we might have been worse off. We have one firm, high principled, and uncompromising Reformer. Our other representative is but a moderate man—a man of crude and undigested principles, but willing, it is believed, to do his duty, if he can only find out what that is. PRESTON, DEC. 12. The polling commenced this day. The town was, during the day, the scene of dreadful rioting. Several persons were maimed, and one man, it is said, was killed. At the close of the poll, at four o'clock, the numbers stood thus : Stanley 1,548 Fleetwood Hunt Forbes BBB Crompton , 76 IVEDNESDA v, 6 O'CLOCK. " The Man of the People" is sadly going back here, and has not now the slightest chance of being a Member of the Reformed Parliament. The disturbances cnntinue ; the windows of some of the principal inns and public buildings have been broken, and Hunt's defeat, it is anticipated, will lead to a general row. Hunt may attribute a good deal of his defeat to his quondam friend Mitchell, who, ever since the quarrel, has been working against his return. STATE OF TETE POLL. Stanley Fleetwood: Hunt Forbes Crompton 2966 2293 1658 1605 104 HAMPSHIRE.-NORTHERN DIVISION. We are requested to contradict in the most positive terms, the statement which appeared in our Paper of Wednesday List, that Mr. Walter Long had relinquished the contest for the representation of the Northern Division of Hampshire; and to add, that, so far from that being the case, he will go to the poll with every confidence of success. D UR HAM, DEC. 12. Presuming that a little election news may be acceptable to you and your readers, I beg to hand you the final state of the poll for this city to-day at 4 o'clock. It has been an unprecedented excitement, and although the majority is not great, the triumph is nevertheless a glorious one, as the whole of a powerful Church (with the exception of two or three Liberals of that establishment), and the gigantic influence of Lord Londonderry on behalf of his nominee, the Hon. A. Trevor, are defeated. CLOSE OF TILE POLL. Charles Harland, Esq. W. R. C. Chaytor, Esq 403 Hon. A. Trevor CL I THE R OE, DEC. 12. (From the Blackburn Gazelle of Wednesday.) THE REIGN CF TORYISM HAS CEASED FOR EVER IN THE BOROUGH OF CLITHEROE. Such was the prediction we uttered when recording the proceedings on the 31st July, when Mr. Irving made his celebrated entry—a prediction which the proceedings at Clitheroe yesterday go far to verify, for we have the grati fication of announcing to our readers, that, after a sharp contest, in which no means were left untried to force or seduce the honest electors to betray their trust, and in spite of the influence of the Tory Earls, Howe and Brown low, and the little knot of Tory Squires who gave Mr. Irving their support, the Reform candidate, John Fort, Esq.. of Read Hall, was returned by a majority of 33. The numbers being for Mr. Fort Mr. Irving The business of the election was conducted with the most p rfect good order, good temper, and good sense ; not the slightest violation of propriety, nor the least ob struction to the vote's or speakers on either side ; nor, though Mr. Irving himself was present on the hustings, standing before the injured and calumniated people of Cli theroe,—though the three Magistrates were present, whose mistaken judgment in sending for the troops, and intem perate conduct in introducing them, produced all the mis• chief which ensued on the unhappy 31st July,—yet, with such excitement to the passions, the assembled multitude seemed to regard them rather with pity than anger, and proved by their conduct how grossly they had been treated and traduced. BRISTOL, DEc. 12. At a very early hour the city presented a scene of uni versal activity and bustle; indeed, if a foreign enemy had effected a landing at one of the ports of the Bristol Chan nel, and a levy en masse of the inhabitants had been re quired to repel the invader, the scene would not have been one in which more ardour and energy could have been evinced. The various trades, who had formed unions in support of Messrs. Protheroe and Williams, met at the places where they hold their meetings as early as seven, some even earlier, and proceeded to Queen-square (the place appointed for taking the poll), preceded by hands of music, with appropriate banners and emblems. The Conservatives and the supporters of Mr. Baillie were also on the alert, and, indeed, made the best display they pos. sibly could with those of the trades who haq, from a cause easy to be appreciated, ratted from the unions. lam happy to say, however, t hat their numbers are compara tively few ; and had not an unpleasant misunderstanding taken place between the " friends" of Mr. Baillie and the R-form committees, Sir R. Vyvyan would not have had the slightest chance of success. As it is, there is a division among the Reformers and the West India Whigs, and the latter have formed an alliance with the Conservatives, but the Reformers are still confident that they shall be able to elect their candidates. The first publication of the state of the poll was at 10, when the numbers stood as follows : Protheroc 569 Vyvyan .396 Williams .559 Bathe From 10 to 12 the Tories rallied their forces, and at th e latter hour the numbers were : Protheroe 1,438 Wi11iam5.....,,,,,„ 1,286 Vyvyan 1,427 Baillie ...............1,179 At 1 the numbers were : Vyvyan 2,322 Williams 2,199 Protheroe 2,219 Bailie .1,960 The poll closed at 3, after which Mr. Protheroe and Mr. Williams, as well as Mr. Edward Protheroe, sen., addressed the electors. As near as the numbers could be ascertained, the result of the day's poll stood as follows : Vyvyan 2,756 Williams 2,354 Protheroe 53 Baillie - 2,299 NORTHAMPTONSHIRE (Southern Division). In consequence of the advantage gained by the Conser vatives of the town, it is confidently expected that Sir Charles Knightley will be brought forward for this divi sion, in conjunction with Mr. Cartwright, to endeavour to drive Lord Althorp from the field. Should that be the vise, there is little doubt that a fourth man will be found as a colleague to his Lordship. NORTHAMPTON. The business of this election began on Tuesday morn ing. The candidates at first were R. Vernon Smith, Esq. (one of the Lords of the Treasury); George Bainbridge, Esq., a gentleman from Hampshire ; and Charles Ross, Esq., late Member for St. Gertnain's ; but in order to prevent any advantage that might result to the popular candidates from the circum s t ance o f th e i r p ossess i ng t w o po lli ng -pens, while the Conservatives had only one, the friends of Mr. Ross prevailed upon the Hon. C. Fitzroy, a brother of Lord Southampton, to be put in nomination. All parties being provided with pr i nte d reg i sters , the election begin with a spirit that astonished those who had been accustomed to the old method. By 11 o'clock more than 1,400 voters were polled, and as the consti tuency is only 2,495, it is obvious the whole might have been finished by 4 o'clock, hail they come up as at the beginning. On Wednesday morning theme being no more votes thatsqc.o,ualdndbechb:orluegshittousps: E the ,l. Returning-officer de clared that the election had fallen on Robert Vernon In Smith,o E rder to account for a result so unexpected by the Reformers, it must be rem ar k e d , that b y an error o f t h e age nt in signing the notices of objections at the time of registration, the supporters of Smith and Bainbridge were deprived of the means of cutti ng o ff t h e b a d votes o f t h e i r o pponents ; this alone was considered by many as quite sufficient to turn the scale of the election in a town so equally divided. Another entice was t o b e f oun d i n th e abominable time-serving disposition manifested by consi derable numbers of the Dissenters ; but a cause mightier than all was to be found in the gold of the Conservatives. It cannot be denied that the virtue of the Northamtouians was not sufficiently strong to resist the temptation that an abundance of sovereigns presented. It seemed to he lite rally true of the lower classes, that almost every one of them bad " his price." The town never before witnessed such a reckless profusion of money, together with such a prostitution of every virtue that elevates man above the brute. Voters openly boasted with the tongue that they had sold their character, and then gloried in displaying the price of their iniquity. In consequence of the excited state of the town, the usual ceremony of chairing was declined. LEICESTER, DEC. 12. The nomination of candidates took place on Monday, when William Evans and Wynn Ellis, ENrs., the late Members, and J. Boughton Leigh, Esq., of Brownsover, Warwickshire, a Tory, were respectively proposed. The show of hands being decidedly in favour of the former, a poll was demanded for Mr. Leigh, which commenced this morning at nine o'clock. The corporation party, calcu lating upon former success, led their supporters to antici pate a decided victory, but a few hours only were requi site to manifest the delusion under which they had la boured. Messrs. Evans and Ellis, whose services in the cause of Reform will ever be remembered with gratitude by the electors, took the lead of their opponent, and conti nue 4 to poll more than three to one till noon, when his Conservative friends made a grand push and enabled him to gain a little upon Messrs. Evans and Ellis. Notwith standing this strong effort, or any other effort which they may make, however, the election of the Liberal Members is safe. We believe this is the first instance on record where Whig or Liberal candidates have ever been known to take such a decided lead of the corporation party ; for o❑ the late occasion, it will be remembered, the Tories did not even venture to go to a poll. The result of this election m ty, therefore, be considered a death-blow to the corporation influence in this town, and also speaks volumes as to the progress of liberal opinions where voters have anything like real freedom of election. The polling in different booths is a decided improvement on the old system. L YME-REGIS. The precept for electing a burgess to serve in the new Parliament arrived here on Thursday. The Mayor, with the officers of the borough, proceeded in state to tile Guildhall, where the same was read with the usual for malities, and the day of election was fixsd for Thursday next (this day). The voters, 213 in number, are nearly two thirds Reformers. The several candidates are now within a few of each other. Fears are entertained lest, by this division of the Reformers, the last candida•e will be returned.—Sherborne Journal. BLACKBURN, DEC. 11. The nomination has taken place to day, in the presence of nearly 20,000 persons. On a show of hands, there waa absolute unanimity for Dr. Bowring, with shouts that rent the air ; about two-thirds of the assembly for Tur ner, an inconsiderable number for Feilden, and nobody at all for hindle, the Tory candidate. A poll was demanded for to-morrow, and it is believed that Bowring and Feilden will be returned. This morning an attempt was made by some brutal assassin to attack Dr. Bowring while asleep in bed. At 3 o'clock a large stones sharp at both edges, was Rung into his bed-room (another having been previously thrown), and it missed his head only by two or thrte inches, making a deep impression on the wall. The event has excited extreme interest here, and a number of th, people offered to escort Dr. Bowring as a body-guard wherever he should go. In the neighbourhood all the elections are going on well (From the Blackburn Gazette of Wednesday.) TILE TORIES AT THEIR DIRTY WORK AGAIN. After all the Tory declarations of strength—after al' their solemn assurances that they would vote to the Tas man, we now find them uniting with a professed Radi cal—Mr. Turner—to rob the electors of Blackburn (i it be in their power) of a fair and legitimate expression of their sentiments. Electors ! up as one man, and resent the base attempt upon your liberty You see an unholy alliance between the Tories and the Radicals to rob you of the man of your choice. Be firm—be resolute—and victory is yours. You have yet the power to triumph—and that triumph will be doubly dear by the base means your enemies have resorted to, to deprive you of it. At four o'clock the poll stood thus : Mr. Feilden Dr. Bowring Mr. Turner 314 Do your duty—conquer now, or be degraded for ever in the oyes of yuur country and of the world ! MARLBOROUGR. This election commenced on Monday, and terminated on Tuesday in favour of the Marquis of Aiiesbury's no minees, Lord E. Bruce and Mr. H. B. Baring, and, to the general regret of the town, against Sir A. Malet, the can didate on the liberal and independent interest. A fine display of independent and manly conduct was made by Mr. E. Shrimpton and his brother before the face of Lord E. Bruce and Mr. Baring, in corroboration of the facts already published, and to the great discomfiture of Mr. Iveson, to whom Mr. E. Shrimpton appealed. Mr. lye son was both days activelyeugaged in bringing up his voters, attended by some of the London police to defend him from the populace, who assailed him with dreadful yells. Thus this election, which has caused no slight degree of public interest, has terminated in a manner to enable Lord Ades. bury to elude the Reform Bill, and continue to send his nominees to the House of Commons. The weight of aristocratic influence, swayed with an oppressive hand, has been too mighty for the assertrrs of the freedom of election, although it has called forth some of the noblest instances of English independence. The Reform Bill is a nullity at Marlborough, which remains, in point of reality, as rotten a borough as when the franchise was in the hands of eight or ten of the Marquis of Ailesbury's Corporators. HULL, DEC-12. (From the Bull Packet.) We have stated, in another place, that a most disgrace ful attack was yesterday made on the person of M. D. Hill, Esq., one of the candidates for this borough, while proceeding to the hustings. A man is, we understand, in custody, charged with having struck Mr.:Hill, and will this day be examined at the Mansion-house. In the course of yesterday evening the windows of several houses were broken, but no further damage was done. The town W6B comparatively quiet during the night, considering that it is election time. The Magistrates, we are glad to I D e a o r c n k ,.immedia tel issuey after dnotic the esan d t occurrenceoo took 'he of thee necessary sary outrage at measures for the preservation of the peace of the town. In the attack so brutally made on Mr. Hill, and at a moment when he was in imminent danger of his life, se parated from all his friends, we are much gratified in mentioning that Mr. Carruthers rushed forward, encircled Mr. Hill in his arms, and in the rapidity of a moment hurried him into a passage of a house in safety, and we have been informed by our friends that Mr. Hill has ex pressed himself deeply sensible of Mr. Carruthers' manly exertions. How strange it is, that when Mr. Carruthers first visited Hull, he was attacked by the brickbat and bludgeon—the doctrine of the Whigs; and it fell to his lot to save the pet Whig candidate, from such de.structive proceedings. All men must envytMr. Carruthers' feelings on this occasion. CLOSE OF THE FIRST DAY'S POLL. Carruthers Hilt 102.9 Hutt Acland 314 FINAL CLOSE OF THE POLL.

The city election turns out to be a hotly-contested one, contrary to general expectation when I last wrote you. was then imagined, that Sergeant Perrin having declined to rely on the moderate party of electors, and Mr. Shaw having long since resigned the field to the Repealers, no body would have the hardihood to oppose O'Connell and his nominee, Rutlive',. The public were, therefore, much surprised yesterday to find the hustings occupied by M. We+r, a barrister of great respectability, and Sir George Rich. These gentlemen rely principally on the Conserva tive interest, and have a chance of being returned, ❑ot withstanding the numbers are in favour of the Rep, alers. The polling has commenced this day, and the Conserva tives reckon more, up to the present hour (one o'clock), than their opponents. This circumstance is, however, mainly owing to the objections taken on their part to Ito man Catholics voting who have not taken the qualifii a tion oath conformably to the Emancipation Act. It is also a fact that the Irish Government have promised Ali. West and Sir George their support, which is estimated at 1,500 voters, who, with the Moderates, who are not afraid to go against Dan, may probably keep the majority till the fifth day, when, if there he no violence or obstruc tion, the Sheriff will be obliged to close the booths, and return the party having then polled the greatest number. The College election commences this day, and it is said the Liberal Members gain inure confidence every hour. '1 he PRICKS OF IRISH STOCKS, DUBLIN, DEC. 11.
