There is great reason to fear that, for each division, two Tories will be returned, and that each of the four boroughs will .return two representative s in the same in terest. The election for the northern division is fixtd for Saturday, the 15th inst. ; and for the southern division, Monday; the -17th. The election for Shrewsbury will take place on Thursday, the 13th. TAUNTON.—Mr. Luttrell has relinquished further in tentions of representing the western division of this county. Mr. E. A. Sanford and Mr. C. Kerner Tynte, will, therefore, be certainly returned. We understand that the election for the eastern division will precede that for the western. The proclamation for the eastern division tool: place at Wells, on Wednesday, and at Taunt in, on Thursday, for the western division. The number of re. gistered voters for both divisions amounts to nearly 18,000. Mr. Labouchere commenced his canvass for this borough on Thursday se'nniaht, and concluded it on Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Bainbridge began his canva on Thursday se'nnight, and concluded on Tuesday even ing. T.

GENTLEMEN, YOU are about to exercise for the first time, that noble - privilege from which the - great body of the People have been so long excluded. It affords me the highest gratification to find, on my return to the Metropolis, that the principles which have guided me in public life, and the course I propose to pur sue in the Reformed Parliament,—will insure to me the proud station of your representative in that assembly, when the pledges registered on my behalf el all be realized at the Poll. The ♦ast work of Reform and purification, whereby the laws and institute( ns of our country may more effectually miniver to the prosperity and freedom of the people, and whereby also we may impart increased vigour and stabi lity to the Constitution,—is an undertaking of immense responsibility. But the support of such a body as the Electors of Lambeth will lighten my labour, and cheer me in all difficulties :---indeed, I feel that new objects and anxieties, arising from the peculiarity of the times, have awakened within me new energies ; and if you should raise me to the e'evation I seek at your hands, I shall enter upon the discharge of the trust reposed in me, with a joyful con fidence in my own pure intentions, and a firm determina tion to do my duty. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, With great respect, Your most obedient and fathful Servant, CHARLES TENNYSON. Park -street, Westminster, Dec. 5, 1832. (No. 12,556.)

COLDS, COUGHS, ASTHM AS, So; BUTLER'S PECTORAL ELIXIR.- Experience has incontestably proved the superior efficacy of this Medicine in all cases of Colds, Coughs, and Asthmatic Affections. By promoting gentle expec toration and acting as an Anodyne, it very shortly relieves a recent Cold, and a few doses are generally sufficient to remo ve those which neglect has rendered more confirmed and obstinate, and which are accompanied with Cough, Spitting of Blood, and other serious symptoms.

FOR the CURE of COUGHS, COLDS, ASTHMAS, SHORTNESS of BREATH, &c. &c. ALTER'S ANISEED PILLS.—The numerous and respectable testimonials daily re ceived of the extraordinary efficacy of the above Pills, in curing the most distressing and long.established diseases of the pulmonary and respiratory organs, induces the Propri e tor to recommend them to the notice of those af flicted with the above complaints, conceiving that a Me dicine which has now stood the test of experience for se veral years, cannot he too generally known. They are composed entirely of balsamic vegetable ingredients, and ate so speedy in their beneficial effects, that in ordinary eases a few doses have been found sufficient ; and, unlike most Cough Medicines, they neither affect the head, con fine the bowels, nor produce any of the unpleasant sensa tions so frequently complained of. The following Cases are submitted to the public from Many in the Proprietor's possession:— "K. Boke, of Globe-lane, Mile-end, was perfectly cured of a violent cough, attended with hoarseness, which ren dered his speech inaudible, by taking three or four doses. E.

ANECDOTE OF BOSWELL.—In her 6 ' Me moirs of Dr. BURNEY," Madame D'ARBLAV gives an ac count of her unexpected interview with BOSWELL, when that singular mixture of talent and assurance was gather ing his materials for his " Life of Johnson :"—" Almost forcibly stopping her in her path, though making her an obsequious bow, ' I am happy,' be cried, to find you, Madam, for I was told you were lost—closed in the un scaleable walls of a royal convent ! But let me tell you, Madam,' assuming his highest tone of mock-heroic, it won't do. You must coma forth. Madam ! You must abscond from your princely monastery, and come forth ! You were not born to be immured like a tabby-cat, Madam, in yon august cell ! We want you in the world. And we are told you are very ill. But we can't spare you. Besides, Madam, I want your JOHNSON'S letters for my book !' Then, stopping at once himself and his hearer, by 'spreading alavad both his arms, in starting suddenly be fore her, he energetically added, Fur the book, Madam ; the first book in the universe !' Swelling, then, with in ternal gratulation, yet involu n t ar ily h a lf l aug hi ng , f rom good-hum oure dly catching the infection of the impose which his unrestrained self complacency excited in his listener, he significantly paused ; but the next minute, with double emp'aasis, and strong, even comic gesticula tion, he went on I have every thing else—every thing that can be named, of every sort, and class, and de scription, to show the great man in a'l his bearings —every thing except his letters to you ! But I have nothing of that kind. I look for it all from you. It is necessary to complete my portrait. It will be the first book in the whole universe, Madam ! There's nothing like it !' Again half laughing, yet speaking more and more forcibly ; There never was, and there never will be ! So give me your letters, and I'll place them with the hand of a master !" "The General of Infantry, Commander-in- Chief of the Citadel of Antwerp." (Here follows the correspondence between General Chasse and Marshal Gerard, already published.) The foregoing report of General Chasse was despatched from the citadel at noon, and arrived at half-past six at Bergen-op-Zoom. The Cadet of Marine, who was th e hearer of it, relates that, arriving at the Fort du Nord, he heard 12 consecutive reports of heavy cannon, and an ex plosion, which he supposed to he the springing of•a mine—it appears erroneously, as it was the blowing up of a dike. (From the Breda Courant, Dec. .3.) BREDA, DEC. 2.—According to yesterday's accounts from the citadel of Antwerp, they continued firing at the enemy's works all night long, both with cannon and bombs, whereby some houses, occupied by the French, were burned to the ground. The French have not yet answered the fire from the citadel. There are no other accounts from the left b ink of the Scheldt, except that the enemy was strongly increasing there, and busy erecting a battery near the Fort de Pare!. DEC. 3.—The maiLboat, which left the citadel on Sa turday, has been annoyed by continual volleys of musketry, from the French at Fort St. Marie. Happily no one has been wounded ; the sai!s were perforated all over by the bullets. Of the manner in which this violation of the free catnmunication with Holland, by the Scheldt will be taken up by our General Chasse, no doubt we shall soon hear more. We hear from Antwerp that the French fire their muskets the moment they see any one on the decks of the ships stationed before the fort. The compliment is, how ever, promptly returned to those who too adventurously appear on the dike. (Private Correspondence of the Handelsblad, Dec. 4.) " ANTWERP, SUNDAY, Two o'CLocx, e.m.—After the firing from the citadel of Antwerp had been con tinued all the preceding day and last night, only at in tervals, the bombardment of the works of Marshal Gerard began this morning with great vehemence, and continues to this moment (one o'clock). No shot has yet fallen on the city, although it is said that Marshal Gerard has not accepted General Chase's proposals; probably they are still treating about them. The first besieging works of Gerard are entirely destroyed by the fire from the citadel, while the inundations caused by the blowing up of the dike near Fort Burght are immense, and have rendered the position of the French, dismal enough as it was, consider ably worse. The number of French killed and wounded is stated to be very considerable." FORT LIEFIZENSHOCK, Nov. 30.—About 10 o'clock this morning, a French officer, attended by a trumpeter, appeared at the South Sluice, announcincing himself to the outpost as a flag of truce. Captain Hennij, the Go vernor of that fort, sent Second Lieutenant Keizer, of the Engineers, to inquire what he wanted. Th, flag of truce, who seemed to belong to the staff, desired to speak to the Governor of the fort, and accordingly was blindfolded, and then conducted in, before the Council of Det nce, convened for that purpose by the Governor. In a long speech, plentifully interlarled with French com pliments, the flag of truce summoned, in the name of General Sehastiani, the fort to surrender, in consequence of the stipulations of the treaty of the 15th November, 1831, to which he added his own persuasion that Gen. Chasse, with whom Marshal G rard had entered into ne gotiations, would certainly be saving of the blood of Hol land's sons, so valuable to her, to surrender the citadel on the Marshal's polite invitation. Captain Hennij, in a few words, replied that he would never surrender the fortress intrusted to him, except by order of his Govern ment. After a few more formalities the flag of truce set off with this answer, and was conducted by the Second Lieutenant of infantry Joast to the other side of the South Sluice. THE HAGUE, DEC. I.—ln the Sitting of the Second Chamber a Royal Message was presented with a project of law containing improvements in the regulation of the excise on sugar. The situation of our army remains the same. The inundations and means of defence were daily increased. The health of the troops is excellent. The French are numerous on the Belgian frontiers. We learn from the Scheldt that the French troops near Forts St. Marie and Pearl have been reinforced. DEC. 3.—Accounts from Bergen-op-Zoom of Satur day evening say that the French troops on the Flanders side had kept up a constant fire on the Post yacht, which had arrived from the citadel of Antwerp ; the firing was answered from the Cornet corvette stationed at the Pipe de Tabac. DEC. 4.—Accounts from Stela of the 33 December say that, on the Ist in the afternoon, about 1,000 French cavalry appeared at Nispen, the guard advancing within half a league of Rozendaal.. The French retired towards evening. In the Breda Courant of to-day we read that, in the environs of that city, a heavy cannonade was heard in the direction of Antwerp, from six in the evening of the 2d to three in the mottling of the 3d. Fire-balls (or rockets) are seen to ascend in the same direction. Captain P. H. Bos, who has arrived in the Texel, from Surinam, reports that, off Scheveningen, about 13 miles out at sea, he was chased by a frigate (probably French), but that, by favour of the night and the good sailing of his ship, be escaped. The following morning he saw that the frigate had lost its topsails. AMSTERDAM, DEC. 2.—At the call of our King—the more revered as the Prince, the most loved as the father of his country--the congregations of the several religions confessions met in their temples here, and in the whole kingdom, to invoke the aid which has never failed in the most critical times—whose inscrutable wisdom often tries the just, but, at his own good time, puts down the inso lence of the oppressor.

The North American Reviewers open their new number with an able article on the new work of their distinguished countryman. "It is marked," they say, " substantially with the qualities that distinguished his former productions of the sme class, excepting that there is no mixture of the pathetic. The tour throughout is light and pleasant, and the tales are all of a comic cast. We are not sure that this tone is quite in keeping with the character of the subject; and if there be any defect in the general conception of the work, it consists in selecting the ruins of a celebrated ancient palace, which seem to le id more naturally to grave medi tations on the fall of Empires, and the melancholy musings on the frailty human greatness, as the scene of a series of sportive caricatures and c mic stories. In all this there is perhaps some little incongruity ; but the spirit and beauty of the style render the work so agreeable, that in reading it, we forget the defect, if such it can be cal'ed, of the plan, and would regret to have it any other than it is. PERTH SHIPPING.—Thii week, although the spring tides are not far adv a nced, we have forty - five brigs, schooners, and sloops, loading and delivering their cargoes ; ten of them taking in potatoes for the London market, and three unloading mature from London. This last is a new branch of business, and is already carried on to a considerable extent. The building of vessels appears to keep pace with the increasing number that frequent the port. There are now :in progress in the building yards a brig of 170, another of 160, a schooner of 85, and a sloop of 65 tons register.—Perth Paper. Sir JOHN SCOTT !Arum now stood forward, and was very well received by the meeting. He was in favour of an abolition of tithes, or, at least, that the poor :hould have that portion of them which was originally in tended for their support. He also thought the ministers of each religion should be paid by their own flocks.— (Cheers.) He was likewise in favour of triennial Parlia ments and vote by ballot.—(Cheers.) He would just re mind the meeting that certain opinions had been reported to have been professed by Mr. Byng. Now, if Mr. Byng would come forward and deny that he had uttered those opinions, and say that be entirely agreed with Mr. flume in all the great questions he advocated, he (Sir J. S. Lillie) would at once retire from the contest.—(Cheers.) The other candidates had refused to give pledges, but it unfor tunately happened too often that those who refused to give pledges were generally pledged at the wrong side ; and thus Lord Henley would not allow one farthing of Church property to be alienated from the purposes of the Church, while Mr. Byng was decidedly against vote by ballot.— (Cheers.) An ELECTOR begged to ask Mr. Hume his opinion re specting the abolition of slavery, and also whether be was favourable to universal suffrage. Mr. Hume, in reply, referred to a former speech of his at the London Tavern, and in which be declared himself the opponent of all slavery ; but still, as slavery was the sin of the nation and not of the planters, he thought that the case of the latter should be taken into consideration by Parliament. With respect to suffrage, he saw that for merly every person who paid taxes, or was liable to be called on for military service, was entitled to a vote. This he thought a good criterion, but he would extend it also to every householder, whether to the value of 51. or Si. he would not say, but certainly the present suffrage did not go far enough, and required to be extended. Mr. AUSTIN asked if Mr. Hume would make a motion to separate Church and State, or if he would support such a motion if made by another. Mr. HUME thought the connection between them cal culated to corrupt the religion of the Established Church. He should support the removal of the Bishops from the House of Lords, and the removal from the Magistracy of all Clergymen whatsoever. He should also support the suppression of every political interference between Church and State. Mr. Hume than retired from the meeting amidst the plaudits of the electors. Mr. LAWLESS then addressed the meeting at some length in support of the claims , of Mr. Hume and Sir John Scott Lillie. Mr. BARNS proposed a resolution to the effect that Mr. Hume and Sir J. S. Lillie were the two most fit and proper persons to represent the county in the next Parliament. The resolution was carried by acclamation. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman ; and the meeting separated. DESIRABLE RESIDENCE, WITHIN THREE HOURS' DRIVE OF LONDON.

Yesterday a meeting of the friends and supporters of Sir John Cam Hobhouse took place at the Quadrant Ho. tel, Regent-street, for the purpose of securing the election of the Right Hon. Secretary for Westminster. The meeting, which was highly respectable, unani mouly called B. BEAuxour, Esq., to the chair. Sir Join; CAM HOBHOUSE rose amidst the cheers of the meeting, and took a review of his own political conduct ever since he had the honour of being returned for West minster. At the same time he certainly felt rather sur prised that, after 14 years' indefatigable exertions in the cause of the people, an objection should now be made ; but he appealed with satisfaction to himself and to his general conduct. Although he had been found fault with for taking office, still he had not deviated from his prin • ciples. Sir John sat down amidst loud cheers. Mr. EWENS, after eulogising the conduct of Sir John Hobhouse, had one question to ask; namely, whether the Hon. Baronet would, if returned to Parliament, use his best exertions to obtain for Westminster an Act to au thorize the inhabitants to have a Court of Requests for 51. ? His attention was called to this subject in consequence of his being one of the Commissioners for the city of London. In that Court they had decidtd 9,000 cases for the amount of a few shillings expense. B. BEAUMONT observed that they had objected .o have a pledged candidate, and whether, in getting Sir John to promise to support such a measure before he had seen the Bill, it would not be considered as a pledge? Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE could not consider, by returning an answer in the affirmative, that he was giving a pledge. All he had been asked to do, if returned to Parliament, was to use his exertions to obtain a local Act for the reco very of debts to the amount of 51. It was not asking him to vote this or that way upon a great political question. If that was the case, he should go into Parliament tied hand and foot, and be, in fact, a pledged Member. This answer of Sir John appeared to produce a most fa voureile impression upon the meeting, which,after pledging itself to use its utmost exertions to secure the election of the Hon. Secretary, broke up without a dissentient voice. MAR YLEB ONE. Yesterday evening there was a numerous and highly respectable meeting of the friends and supporters of Mr. Porttnan, at the Cafe Colosseum, in the New-road; WM. THOMAS, Esq., in the chair. Mr. BLAKEMAN read the third report of November 29, at which time he considered the return of the Hon. Mem ber effectually secured ; in all the canvass they had only met with 99 persons hostile to his return. Mr. PORTMAN at this moment entered the room amidst the most enthusiastic cheering. He wished to do all the good he could, and to make the least noise about it. The representative of the borough, be he whom he may, would carry with him a burden of no small weight, but he would have the assistance of a numerous host of intelligent persons, who would aid him in the efforts he bad to make ; the time was arrived when they would not suffer candidates to cajole the people—they had taken the work into their own bands, and would prosecute it with effect.—(Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN requested the early attendance of the friends of the Hon. Gentleman at the nomination, on Sa turday; when the thanks of the meeting were given to him for his conduct in the chair, and they dispersed, giving three cheers for Mr. Portman. LAMBETH. A very numerous and respectable meeting of the e'ectors in the parish of Lambeth, was held last night, at Prockter's Hotel, opposite Astley's Theatre, Westminster-road. FREDERICK VILLIERS, Esq., late M.P. for Saltash, in the chair. The CHAIRMAN recommended Mr. Wakefield as a can• dilate worthy of the suffrages of the electors of this bo.. rough, and concluded by inn() !tieing that gentleman to the treetin<r.—(Loud applause.) Mr. WAKEFIELD perfectly coincided with his Hon. Friend in his view of the Reform Bill. With respect to the law of primogeniture, a pledge had been demanded of him, and he was proud to say he was for the entire abolition of that law. He considered that every man ought to Lave a voice in the representation of this country who pays taxes. After entering into a detail upon an ex position of his political principles, and dwelling at con siderable length upon the expenditure of this country, and the measures he considered would be necessary to be adopted in a reformed Parliament, he concluded by giving one pledge, and which he called the pledge of pledges— eiz., that he was ready to resign his seat whenever re quired to do so by a majority of his constituents.—(Hear, hear, and applause.) Several questions were put to the candidate, which were answered to the entire satisfaction of the meeting. . _ Mr. BRIDGE moved a resolution expressive of the con fidence entertained of Mr. Wakefield's principles, and Pledging the meeting to use its utmost exertions to pro mote his election, which was carried unanimously amidst loud applause. A vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. LIVERPOOL. (From the Liverpool Courier.)

Undoubtedly I have.—(Loud cheers.) 1 consider abundance as one of the great blessings of Pro vidence, and 1 think it wickedness in man to attempt to impede the spread of the blessings of Providence.— (Cheers.)

If you honour me by making me one of the Members of your choke, I will never de ceive you.—(Cbeers.) I wiil promote, to the utmost of my power, economy in every department of the State.

Baines, after which Mr. Thornely again returned thanks for the honour conferred upon him by so large an assemblage of individuals.

Extract of a letter from Candala (East Indies), July 8, 1832 :—" All Bombay is in dread and terror of the plague ; ing!eed, appearances are awfully alarming. Bussora and Bushire have been almost depopulated, and with them we have had daily communications until . a few lys since. An English ship (the Maria), coming front Bushire, was spoken, and with the exception of the Cap-. tain and one man, every soul bad fallen a victim to the horrible pestilence. Of course, she could not be per mitted to enter any port. Yesterday (the 9th of July), 1 vas speaking of the awful situation of the Maria ; if she lump to enter the harbour, she is instantly to be fired upon and sunk. All vessels are put under quarantine that cannot show a clean bill of health. An East Indiaman the otl.er day entered, and was attempting to proceed without answering the signal made for her to lie to ; a shot was fired ; the obstin tte Captain, in spite of that and the quarantine flag, still persisted ; a second shot was sent, and completely cut the chief officer in two." ANECDOTE OF NAPOLEON.—At Dresden, while the allies were in the neighbourhood, he was up at day-break, toiling like a captain of engineers. While the staff were constructin; a bridge in place of the one burnt by the Russians, he took his stand beside a building which had served for a depot of ammunition. The Russian fire was drawn upon this point, and a shell had nearly closed the campaign ; it burst over the spot where he stood, 'track the side of the building, and dashed a large frag ment of wood or stone at his feet. While all around hitn were alarmed at his hazard, he coolly turned the fragment over, and observed, " A few inches nearer, and it would have done its business."—Journal of the D,fenee of Hamburg. " When iVIETTERNICH," said BYRON, " was deprecating the genius of NAPOLEON, in a circle at Vi enna where his word was a law, and his ncd a decree, he appealed to JOHN WILLIAM WARD if BONAPARTE had not been greatly overrated ; WARD'S answer was as cou rageous as admirable. He replied, that NAPOLEON had rendered past glory doubtful, and future fame impossible.' This was expressed in French, and such pure French, that ill present were struck with admiration, no less with tho thought, than with the mode of expressing it." I told IlYuou that this reminded me of a reply made by Mr. WARD to a lady atVienna, who somewhat rudely remarked to him, that it was strange that all the best society at Vienna spoke French as well as German, while the Eng. lish scarcely spoke French at all, or spoke it ill. WARD answered that " the English must be excused for their want of practice, as the French army had not been twice to London to teach them, as they had at Vienna.—New Monthly Magazine.—Conversations with Lord Byron.

EXTRAORDINARY COMPLIMENT TO A TAX -COLLECTOK.—At the late tithe feast of the rector of Wortham, ono of the poorest parishes in Suffolk, when the health of the constable of the parish, who is also col lector of the rates and taxes, was proposed, several of the farmers represented to the Rev. Gentleman that the indi vielual whose health was then about to be drunk was in -treat distress. Toe chairman immediately drunk his heath, and, in wishing him greater prosperity, pre.ented him with a five-pound note. The hint was taken by the armers ; the man wet sent upon some errand into the parish, and during his absence every farmer subscribed, according to his means, something towards his relief. Upon his return, a plate containing a handsome present of gold and silver was handed to him, in approbation of his in dustry in private life, and of his integrity as a public ser vant of the parish. Hos seldom does a collector of refs and taxes meet with the sympathy of those among whom he lives l—Blackburn Alfred. The Life of a Sailor, announced for imme.

The career of a sailor is full of strange vt_ cissitudes, and, whether we view him in cdlm or storm, in fire or fight, from the roughest specimen before the mast to the intellectual perfection of the quarter deck, his story is always replete with the most eventful interest. LUDICROUS INCIDENT.—An honest man who possesses a few acres of land not a hundred miles from —, has two fair maidens, one of whom is 50 bli•he-hearted and well-favoured, that she is followed by a whole host of rustic admirers, and among others by a farmer not many miles distant, and who is observed to he particularly frequent in his visits and a•siduous in his at tentions. Dreading, however, the observance of the mai ter and mistress, he prefers the Byre to the kitchen, end generally appears about milking time, ready to trim the home-made taper and joke with the lasses. One evening he arrived rather early, and wishing to surprise his " dearie," he mounted the hen-roost, and there ensconced himself to the no small annoyance of the "feathered people." At first the poultry cackled as loud as if a foul_ mart had got amongst them, but, in the end, they became ely, colloquy RA a i n , Fleecy , c the a re Warne hr h ,e o head, conversationa the ii farmer more reconciled to their fellow-lodger, wh o , to d o hi m jus tice, gave them no unnecessary disturb ance .
