Patten and James Heywood will be returned without opposition. OLDHAM. FAIDAY.—The return of Messrs. Fox and Duncroft, sad the rejection of Messrs. Fielden and Cobbett, the popular candidates, has caused the greatest posiible ex citement, and the disturbance which I mentioned in my last letter, assumed a formidable appearance. News of the disturbance reached Manchester about five o'clock, and at the request of the magistrates of Oldham a de tachment of Dragoons was ,ent off to quell the riot. The Riot Act was read, but beyond the breaking of some windows and the upsetting of a few carriages no thing material occurred. The police force is considered enough support at present, but the town is in a state of great excitement. PETERBOROUGH - . Messrs Fitzwilliam and Cavendish are returned with= opposition. PONTEFRACT.

Charles Haycock, Esq., proposed, and C. Atley, E , q., seconded, the Right Hon. J. C. Herries; and Edward Hatfield, Esq., proposed, and George Betts, Esq., seconded, John Rolt, Esq., Q.C. An immense number of people witnessed the proceed ings. On a show of hands being taken about thirty were held up for Lord Granby, and a less number than that for Mr. Herries. For Mr. Rolt the show was im mense; and this display of popular feeling was described as being like unto a field of wheat. The Mayor de clared the election to have fallen on Mr. Rolt and the Marquis of Granby. A poll was demanded on behalf of Mr. Herries, and the poll will be taken on Saturday morning, at eight o'clock. It is generally admitted that never at an election for Stamford was there such a ge neral feeling towards any candidate as that shown on behalf of Mr. Bolt. The contest will be a severe one.

Douglas and Bodkin (Conserva tives), and Messrs. Bernal and Twysden Hodges (Liberals). Mr. Douglas, in his address to the electors declared himself strongly opposed to the new poor-law, and condemned the conduct of the New Poor-law Com missioners in not giving more effect to the representa tions made to them by the board of guardians. Mr. Bodkin defended his conduct in supporting Sir Robert Peel's corn-law. He said he felt so satisfied that it was calculated to benefit the whole community, that before he gave his vote in support of it he wrote to his con • titituents stating his intention, and expressing his wil lingness to resign rather than not carry out his consci euttious conviction by supporting Sir Robert Peel's pro position. The other candidates also addressed the electors, and the usual form of a show of hands having been made, was declared in favour of Mes.srs. Bodkin and Douglas.

There were three petitiong in this matter in his Lord ship's paper by the committee of the estate, the commit tee of the person, and a creiitor. Mr. K. Parker and Mr. J. H. Palmer appeared for the creditor's petition, which was that of Mr. Coppock, the Parliamentary agent, and asked for payment to him of a sum of 9001. for defending llr. Dyce Sombre's return for the borouch of Sudbury before a Committee of the House of Commons. Thu L, RD CHANCELLOR interposed, and said it was impossible he could hear the petition. Mr. Dyee Sombre was about being subj(cted to an examination of two physicians to ascertain the state of his mind, and pending that inquiry he could make no order for the payment of any of his debts. Mr. TINNEY (Mr. Calvert was with him) then opened his petition, which was to confirm the Master's report in the following particulars. The Bebee Sombre, from whom Mr. Dyce Sombre received the whole of his for- tune, had been in the habit of allowing a pension of 100 rupees a month to a certain person, and after his death 15 rupees a month had been paid by Mr. Dr2e Sombre to the widow of the pensioner, and one of the objects of this petition was to increase that allowance to 50 rupees per month. Mr. Dyce Sombre had expressed his desire in favour of the increase, and the Master had made his report the same way. The LORD CHANCELLOR asked how it was possible he could order the increfted pension upon the recommenda tion of a person of whon at present it was doubtful whe ther he were a lunatic or not ? They might take the order for the 15 rupees but the consideration of the in crease must stand covet for a few days, until the present state of Mr. Dyce Somire's mind bad been ascertained. Mr. TINNEY was then proceeding to ask payment to Mrs. Dyce Sombre of Certain small sums reported to be due to her, when The LORD CHANCELLOR said it would be much better for all the petitions to stand over for a few days, until the physicians had wade their report. Ordered according. ROLLS' COURT, July 30. NEVTON v. RICKETTS. Lord LANGDALE sa.d, upon the motion herein, for a receiver of the estates of the late Sir Robert Ricketts, argued yesterday, that he had read the case of " Connor v. Connor," cited in the argument, and he saw nothing in it to alter his opinion ; and therefore he refused the motion with costs. The Court then proceeded upon unopposed petitions, of which there were fifty-five ; after which the follow ing motion, which had been ordered to stand over, was called on : PRERE V. TEE IPSWICJ3 AND BURY RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. BINDERSLEY and Mr. ANDERSON moved for an injunction to restrain tie company from taking posses sion of, or entering upon, any of the fields or pieces of land of the plaintiff in the plaintiff's bill mentioned, in Suffolk, and from constructing thereon their railway as the same was laid dowi in their plan, or from construct ing it in any manner otnerwise than under and according to the terms and provisions of an agreement of the 11th of June, 1846, made littween the parties. The motion was not over when the Court rose. VICE-CRANCELLO,.'S COURT, July 30. (Before Sir J. K. BRUCE.) COOM3ES V. BROOKES. Mr. DE GEX appeared on a petition in this case, which was presented ly the trustees of a will, for the sale of freehold and hasehold estate, part of which was contracted to be sold to the South Western Railway Company. The valuation of the property had been made under the Act. of Parliament, and affidavits were made by two surveyors, ascertnining the value of the property. The petition was entitled in the Act of Par liament and in the suit, and a reference to the Master way asked to ascertain whether the sale was made for a proper sum. Counsel submitted that under the circum stances the refer: nce might be dispensed with. Mr. Smythe appeared for the company. His LioNonn said that as the affidavits were ample, he saw no otjection to the order being made at once, with out a reference. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. W.ES - FEILV Cll?Ci.l7'..7Budmin, July 29. The commission for holdirlg the assizeA for Cornwall WAS to have been opened yesterday, but in consequence of the pressure, or rather tardiness, in getting through business at Exeter, the Judges were detained, and it is rumoured that they had an intimation from the authori ties that, in consequence of the election, it would be as well if the opening the commission were postponed till this evening. At all events, the commission was not opened till about nine o'clock this evening. The Bar complain dreadfully that no information on the subject was given to them. We admit that we have heard this from those who are not en cumbered with briefs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MAASIOA-HOUSE. Joseph John Kelly, vho was stated to be an elec tioneering agent, was charged with having committed an assault upon a cabman named John Talbot. whom he had employed to convey voters to the poll at Guildhall. The cabman stated that, having been engaged by the defendant on the electioneering canvass during the day, he called towards the conclusion of the election by his direction at houses, at which he took up two voters who were to be set, down at Guildhall. As the hour ap proached he did all he could to get to the place in time, but the crowds were so great everywhere that if he had not exercised a great deal of caution he must have run over the poople in the way. The defendant, who was excited by drinking, wanted to take the reins in his own hands and to drive over the crowd, and when so dangerous a proposition was rejected, broke the cab man's whip over him, and acted with much violence in other respects. The language used upon the occasion was quite in character with the general performance of the more humble agents in an election contest. The agent again asked the cabman a question or two. "Did you not," said he, " when we were going along Aldeate, job the whip in my face, and jeer at me ?" Cabman—Not intentionally. You were drunk and very unsteady, and I might have pushed against you, but I never jeered at you. The defendant—Did you not go slowly when I urged you, in the fear of being too late, to go as fast as you could ? The cabman—l could sot go, with safety to the public, more quickly than I drove. You certainly wanted me to drive over everything. The defendant—l declare that he intentionally de layed me until I lost my two votes. I employed the cabman by the authority of Mr. .Masterman's committee to go round for voters, and we went to several places. As we were going along he thought proper not only to delay on the road to the beatings, but to jeer at and humbug me; and as tour o'clock was fast approaching, I became much excited and irritated, and I confess I did use the whip in my anger, which I was unable under such circuoistal.c.s to control, for four o'c ock struck while we were in the street, and my two votes were gone. A Mr. Humphrey s stated,that the threats used by the delei.daot against the cabman were quite alarming, and if it had not teen fur the police, the wot st mischief might have taken place Alderman Ctinns—Was the defendant intoxicated? Wuntss—Most certainly ho was drunk. Other persons described the conduct of the defendant in similar terms; and Alderman GIBBS fined him ss. for being drunk, and said he must also pay 6s. 6d. for the damage done to the whip. GUILDHALL. Yesterday many gentlemen who had taken part in the thearg t f y p o l assaulticeforce, pre ferredaCgiatyines election l 'A r o . l ' r l attended Wi', 1. 1 idiss), s n, a s r i o i g a c e r i t o o n a r ° c o t ' : the Mayo 's Court, and they asse,,sor at the Cripplegate polling-booth, in Milton-street, for the householders of that vicinity. Mr. Wilkinson, in the outset, begged that the whole of the statement made by Mr. Childs might be taken down, as he had instructed counsel that day to prepare an indictment for presentment at the next Old Bailey ses,ions for obstructing him iu the performance of his duty as returning officer. Mr. Childs presumed that what Mr. Wilkinson had done would not prevent the Magistrate from hearing the present charge. Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES said it could not operate iu that way, and Mr. Childs might proceed with his statement. Mr. Childs then said he resided at No. 34, Fore-street. Being a member of the Conservative Comi,,ittee of Crip plegate Ward Without, he was requested by the chair man of the committee to assist in checking the votes at the Milton-street booth. While he was discharging that duty, he observed the assessor act, as he conceived, with partiality. Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES asked in what respect ? ...... - Mr. Wilkinson objected to such a question. It was zying the merits of the election and the conduct of the returning officer. For that there was a different tribunal. Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES said he was not going to decide on th ose p o i nts , b u t he bad a right to hear what led to the assault. Mr. Chills sa id a p erson came up to the poll clerk, and hesitated as t o th e nam es of the persons for whom he would vote, upon which the assessor was guilty of partiality by as ki ng if h e mea nt to vote for the tour Liberal c a ndid ates, repeat i ng t h e ir names, and saying , nothing about the other candidates. Mr. Wilkinson again objected to the witness being al- lowed to impute misconduct to him. The ALDERMAN persisted that he had a rig h t to hear it, as leading t o th e assau l t , an d asked what words Mr. Wilkinson used. Mr. Child s rep li e d , he sa id to the inhabitant, whose name he did not o b serve, "Do you intend to vote for Russell, P att i son, Larpent, and Rothschild?" or words to that e ff ect, an d without naming the Conservative can didates. Witness said t o Mr. Wilkinson, " That is not Defendant re pli e d , " Who are you, sir?" Wit ness mention e d hi s name. M r . R e ad, who was em ployed c h oc ki ng the votes on behalf o f t h e Lib era l can didates, imm e di ate l y earn,. up and said witness was not an elector; and lie had no business on the hustings. Mr. " Ll'in ol, most i.n i-ri . I ordered him to le:.vo th,.• bust! t 4, , ,•,;. Witne;s declined u' doing so. Ho replied, 'We'll see whether y ou w ill or not," and rushed on ilia, setz-,l :.inn by the collar and by the arm, end walked him off the hustin g s. That was the assault he complained o f. Cross-exa tn i ne d b y M r. Wilki nson —Declined answer ing the question whether he did not know that as sur genii to the poli ce f orce h e was exc l u d e d from interfer ing in th e e l ection. It was a question o f l aw . li e h a d been stru c k o ff t h e li st of voters on t h at ground. Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES thought the assessor was wrong in holdi ng should be v o t ers, an d have an interest i n th e matter. If that those appointed by the committees they were disiuteres;ed persons so much the better. The Alderman referred to the City Police Act, and found tha` , no Perqr•ri helnrirrincr to the force was t 6, vote at e;, I - 7 - 7 Ch , - rres not baniging to, bat attending upon the force. Mr. Wilkinson said he was fully empowered by the Sheriffs to preserve order, and Mr. Childs committcd a breach of order by his violence of manner. Mr. Alderman H. VETCHES asked him if he did not conceive it would have been more becoming the office of assessor if he h:id not in his own proper person seized the offender and thrust him off the hustings ? Should he not rather have called upon a police officer to remove him ? Mr. Wilkinson said it was the act of the moment. He asked the witness by what authority he appeared on the hustings?... Mr. Childs replied, at the request and by the autho rity of the chairman of the Conservative Committee. Mr. Wilkinson asked if he had it in writing ? Mr. Childs said he had not. The ALDERMAN remarked, that he had the witness's statement on oath that he had the chairman's parol au thority, and that was quite enough. Did Mr. Wilkin son object to a verbal authority till the witness charged him very properly with partiality in this instance ? Mr. Wilkinson said he must not assume the fact to be proved. He denied he had been guilty of putting the four names only, and could bring 100 witnesses to prove that he did not. Mr. Childs said he went on the hustings at 11, and was not expelled till 12. Upon his oath the assessor did not ask whether he had a written authority till after he had expelled him. Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES said he should ask Mr. Wilkinson's authority for putting the names in that way Mr. Wilkinson denied that he did so. Witness further cross-examined—The assessor did not say if he interfered with such rudeness and violence he would eject him, nor did he answer in a rude and violent way that he should not leave. He only answered in a.deeided tone. Did return with the officer to serve the summons upon the hustings. Roe, the officer, explained that when he directed an officer to serve the surnrocns personally, if possible, he had no idea the party complained of was the returning officer. He supposed it was some gentleman attending the election. Octavious Bousfield stated that he was on the hustings close to Mr. Childs. lie confirmed his account of the as sault, but did not hear Mr. Wilkinson repeat the four names. Mr. Childs' manner was temperate, and the assessor's very violent, and beyond the necessity of the case. Walter Tyler, a policeman, said he saw the assessor grasp hold of Mr. Childs' collar, shove him back to the rear and turn him off the hustings. Mr. Childs seemed to be taking a lively interest in the election, but made no resistance to the authority of the assessor. Mr. Alderman H. HUGHEs observed, that if all the returning officers we re to act in this way we should fall into a sad state. He seemed to have exceeded his duel in every particular. Nothing could be worse than put ting partizans into such situations, for partiality and in justice would be sure to beget anger and violence and great excitement. Mr. Smith, of Barbican, the chairman of the com mittee, was called to show that he authorised Mr. Childs to go to check the poll, but he added, he had been in sulted by the assessor, and it was a disgrace to the Sheriffs that they had put such a person into authorit). He saw him proposing the four names of the Liberal candidates to a voter. He was checked by the witness, and was rewarded by the crowd with hootings and cries In another instance he would not let a vote for Alderman Johnson be recorded. The voter began by naming Johnson and three Liberal candidates. That was not taken, but his vote for the four Liberals was afterwards taken. Mr. Wilkinson put questions to show that so far as he had no vote to give at that polling-place Mr. Smith'. presence there was an interruption to business, and that he had once removed him from the clerk's desk to make way fur a voter. He had therefore committed an ob struction. Mr. Smith said, so far from " requesting" him to move, the assessor raved out, "Stand back, stand back," upon which he instantly fell back bowing, and asking, " Aei I far enough back, sir?" Mr. Woodthorpe, architect, of Jewin-street, also de posed to the general violence of the assessor and modera tion of Mr. Childs. He did not hear the four names only repeated to the voter, but he stated that the name of the voter who wished to vote for Alderman Johnson was Russell. Mr. Wilkinson, in his defence, put in a resolution which had been carried at the close of the business at the polling-place. It was moved by Mr. Septimus Read, a Liberal, and seconded by Mr. Pickering, of the Con servative committee:—" The cordial thanks of this meet ing are justly due and hereby tendered to Mr. Michael Eaton Wilkinson, the assessor at this election, for his gentlemanly and upright conduct; for his urbanity in sustaining the arduous duty devolving on him, and for his strict impartiality to all parties." Mr. Wilkinson stated, that all the Liberal committeemen, &c., came pre pared with written authorisations, signed by the four candidates. The voters were frequently at a loss for the names of those they meant to poll for, and then, by leave of both sides, he had read over the names of all the candidates. If anybody from any part of the town might come upon the hustings upon saying they were autho rised, no order could be preserved. But. he most positively denied the charges of partiality. He called Mr. R. Reid, of the Conservative committee, to show that Mr. Childs was violent in his manner, and no undue force was used to him. He did not hear the assessor propound the four Liberal names only, but he could not swear that he might not have done so. Mr. Childs was led off the hustings. Mr. Robinson, of Bloomsbury-square, law agent to the Liberal committee, was present all the time. Mr. Childs was requested to leave, but said he would not, and the assessor laying his hand on his shoulder, Mr. Childs " retreated under the influence of his hand." Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES said that was a very deli cate way of speaking of an assault. The witness further said the assessor's behaviour was not violent—he only spoke as one having authority in the place. The ALDERMAN said he would hear no more evidence, as he should send the case to the sessions. It was of too much importance to the public, touching the mode in which elections should be conducted, to be decided by him summarily. He, therefore, bound the assessor to appear and answer the charge at the next sessions. THAMES. Yesterday, Alfred. Dorey. a boy aged thirteen years, was charged with stealing 421, the moneys of his master, Mr. Charles Daley, bookseller, No. 17, Greville -street, Hatton-garden. The lad had been in Mr. Daley's service only one month. On Saturday last the prosecutor gave the lad a cheque for 991. on the London and Westminster Bank, in Holborn, and directed him to procure 801. in notes, and 12!. in gold. The prisoner, instead of obeying his master's directions, obtained a 501. note and 42 sovere gns. The note he enclosed in an envelope, and forwarded it by post to his master, who received it on the same afternoon. The prisoner appropriated the sovereigns to his own use, and no more was heard of him until Thursday morning, when a respectable inha bitant of Limehouse called the attention of Collett, a police-constable, 283 K, to a lad who, it was represented had been exhibiting a large sum of money, and who had slept in a coffee house in Emmett -street, Poplar, the preceding night. Collett took the lad into custody, and found in a bag he delivered to him 34 sovereigns and Bs. in silver. The police constable also took from the pri soner a new suit of clothes and various other articles re cently purchas dby him. The lad was called upon to give some account of himself, and he related that his father was formerly a farmer at Newbury, in Berkshire, and died in January last, leaving his farm to the management of his mother, who also died in May last, and was buried in the sacae grave. Previous to his mother's decease she made over the farm and the whole of the property thereon to his uncle, on condition of supporting him (the prison( r), and apprenticing him to some respectable trade. His uncle, instead of com plyhig with his mother's dying request, sold the farm and all that was upon it, and put up at lodgings at a public-house in Newbury. where he remained for a few days, and then abandoned him, leaving upon his pillow a bag containing 431. in gold. He sought for his unele, and was unable to find him, and not being able to obtain any employment at Newbury, he started for Reading, and came by the rail to London. The boy was brought before the magistrate on Thursday evening, and he re lated the same story. Mr. Ballantine directed that he should be de-ained, and requested InTector Coward, of the K division, to write to the authorities at Newbury on the subject, which was done. The boy had not been long in the custody of Roche, the gaoler of the court, when he confessed that the story about Newbury and the death of his parents was pure invention, and that his name was not William Watson, but Alfred Dorey, and that his father, William Dorey, was a barge-builder, living at No. 5, Crown-yard, Kent-street, Southwark ; that on Saturday last he was sent to obtain cash for a cheque for 921., by his mastor, Mr. Daley, of Greville street ; on leaving the banking-house he was accosted in Holborn by a boy, who persuaded him to send the 501. note to his master, and decamp with the sovereigns and spend them. They started for Gravesend, where his companion took a few sovereigns from him and then left him ; and he had never seen him since. Roche imme diately communicated with Mr. Daley, who appeared yesterday and identified the lad, He said the prisoner had been for some time in the service of a neighbour, and maintained a good character before he employed him. The prisoner, who sobbed Loudly, said lie had no de fence to make. Mr. BALLANTINE, in committing the prisoner for trial, said he was sorry to find a boy so young exhibiting so much duplicity and cunning. lie gave directions to the police-constable to restore the 34 sovereigns to Mr. Daley. who might want to use them in his trade, but the prosecutor must abide by any orders the Judge might think proper to make on the trial. The Duchess of Buccleuch and family left Montague Whitehall-gardens, yesterday, for Leamington: .I'llE CITY ELECTION.—It is worthy of notice, as a curious fact, that the results of - the two last contested elections in the city (the bye-election of October, 1843, • excepted) • were nut correctly . ascertained before th. Official declaration. In 1837, Mr. Horpley Palmer's eleCtion by a majority of 13 over Mr. Grote was dect . aively anntiunced by his committee at the close of the poll. The next day, however, Mr. Grote was declared duly elected by 'a . majority of six ! In 1841 each party gave up Lord John Russell for lost, and Mr. Wol verley Attwood was the successful candidate until noun next day, when the Sheriff turned the scale by de claring the return of Lord J. Russell, Mr. Attwood being left in a minority of nine. The case of yesterday is a third example of this uncertainty. No one dreamt, until the returning officer opened his lips, that Mr. Master man was re-elected, and one of the Liberal candidates rejected. FRIDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE.' CROWN-OFFICE. JULY 30. 1847.

All the four candidates addressed the assemblage at considerable length. Mr. Butt in his speech disclaiming personalities, but taunting Mr. Christie with his absence from the House during the divisions on the question of grants to the Roman Catholics. He declared himself an opponent of the ballot and of reckless and visionary free trade, and both he and his honourable coadjutor pro mised, that if elected they would do all that in them lay to increase the prosperity of the town. The Melton called for a show of hands, and it was considered by many among the Liberal party :that Mr. Christie and Colonel Freestun had a decided majority. His Worship, however, said the numbers were pretty equal, but he thought Mr. Butt and Captain Villiers had a majority. A poll was then demanded for the two Liberals, and appointed for to-day. The announcement of Lord John Russell's success reached here this morning, and created great enthusiasm amongst the Liberal party, who immediately placarded the gratifying news throughout the town.

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) General Sir DE LACY Evaxs then proceeded to address the assemblage, and was received with partial cheering and hisses. In fact, the noise throughout the whole of his address scarcely subsided for an instant ; and some blackguards in th - e crowd threw a number of apples up, some of which struck the Gallant General and his colleague. The reporters, too, came in for their share. The Gallant General said it now became his duty to r epeat to them the warm thanks which last evening he ventured to express for their generous, zealous, and patriotic exer tions in his behalf, and which had led to his being elected to represent the ancient city of Westminster in the en suing Parliament.—(Chet-rs.).He wished to congratulate them upon the result of the contest. There was a certain duty imposed on a candidate—but especially on a suc cessful one—namely, that he had no right to presume to offer any opinion upon the choice of the electors of any other candidate. He would not, therefore, depart from this general rule—he should only repeat that, though on this occasion the Liberal interest had been more di vided than on any former occasion, it was a source of great gratification to him to find that, notwithstanding this, the Conservative party had not reaped any advan tage. He looked with great pleasure to the contest just terminated in the city of London. Yesterday he spoke thatthneociltoiznegnesr of with some uncertainty as t o it s resu l t , b u t t h a t uncer taintyexisted,Lon don h a a n d d whel' he discharged was gratified ttheir itro duty, u fi t n y d , as he was gratified to find that, however partial the citizens of London might b te o some of the candidates who had local claim s upon them; they had felt it their duty to elect the Minister of the Cro Crown and of the people, and his excellent old friend, Mr. ion.—(Cheers). He was glad to find that they had justly appreciated h that the claims of the Prime Minister and the the rights and liberties of the people were infinitely more of paramount to any local connexion which any one might have in them—to any individual pretensions which persons amongst them might possess, however much they might admire them individually. — (Cheers.) It wa s a good augury, a good indication of the sound sense of the citizens of London, that they had thus exercised a sound discretion. He could not help repeating again the great' satisfaction which he had derived from the return for the first time in this kingdom of a most distinguished merchant of the Jewish persuasion as a member of Parliament. Through out the whole general election no more in. teresting principle could be enunciated than the election of this gentleman —no more interesting princi ple as regarded religious liberty and civilisation in general than that yesterday promulgated by the citizens of London in the election of Baron Lionel Rothschild. They had come to the glorions resolution to destroy the religious distinction which had heretofore existed be tween themselves and their co-religionists of the Jewish persuasien. H e was a l so g l a d t o fi n d that there was ner* every pr o b a bili ty o f ot h er mem b ers o f the same uasion b e i ng sent to Parliament. lie wished to direct their attention to the contest now going on in Lambeth, one of the sister bot oughs. In that borough an attempt had been made to oust an old faithful ser vant—lair, tlawe (a to affect his lion, there was not a more Friend Mr, e the present Government, he simply h e ld o ffi ce un d er Eri, u l attempt which was also likely D'Enyncourt, than whom al repr esentat i ve i n t h e Com mons cf Parliament), because hope that the attempt to Ho did sincerely might utterly of objection fail, because reject Mr. Hawes grounds could be urged no subst an ti a l against him, except that he had recently taken office. Th ose w h wit nessed the impartial conduct of M r - H awes ohad during his wa Parliamentary life were convinced that there 3 . not a more zealous, or a more intelligent, or dese,ry • ing public servant than he had shown himself to be ; and because forsooth he had been invited by the Governm ent to render his talents and his ability still further to the ser vice of the public: this was to be taken as a ground of objection to him by a great political constituency. ‘‘, hy, if this came once to be pursued by great popular con stituencies, all the most popular men in the kingdom must avoid seeking the representation of these constitu encies, and instead of them they must turn to the small and unimportant boroughs throughout the country, —(Cheers.) He ventured to say, that his opinion on the-. salaject was pee. coy iyeeer ,et e t, i never ee!ti ~ice.--s, he feel u • :v r !• "i might probaOly Lever hold effice—hut, c. rtearey, it invite d to take office he should net consitit r hilt self mere dissntitled to the confidence of the people than he thought Mr. Hawes was disqualified for the service of his old constituency.—(Cheers, and continued uproar.) He endeavoured yesterday, and on the day of nomina tion, to explain to them his conduct during the past session, bat he had omitted some topics to which he wished now to advert. He had voted in favour of the Ten Hours Bill, and the Ten Years Enlist ment Bill—(Cheers, and noise)—and these, they would not deny, were questions of the utmost importance to them.—(Continued noise and uproar). He took leave to tell them that he was a strenuous supporter of both those Bills.—(Noise.) I think, continued the Gallant General, you ought nor to regard the duty of your representative as a light one, and I think, there fore, that you should listen to those who seek your suffrages, and, if they have formerly represented you, to hear them account for their conduct during the past, and what it will be during the future. You ought not, by senseless clamour, to refuse a hearing to them, because you are injuring your cause, and indicating by your conduct that you are not sufficiently aware of the importance of the functions you have to exercise. —(The clamour however continued with und, minished force.) He was reminded by their conduct of an aphorism of the celebrated Montesquieu, who, in passing a high eulogium on the English Government, and in pointing it out to to the admiration and imitation of the other nations of Europe, said, " How lament able it would be if this great constitution, which now presents so admirable a law and an example, should fall as did the republic of Rome and those celebrated republics of the ancient world."—(Cheers.) It would fail, he said, when the constituent body began to decay, and when they became forgetful or unmindful of their duty with respect to the election of the Members of the Senate. He had always openly stated his senti ments, and he would never seek for their suffrages by flattery, or by unbecoming condescension.—(Loud cheers.) With candour he expressed himself, and he hoped with candour and indulgence to his opponents. He appealed to the result as a source of pride, as he had not attended one public meeting before the election. He had not gone to cajole and seduce the inclinations of one voter.—(Cheers and laughter.) After saying that the battle had been vigorously fought, the Gallant General concluded by thanking the electors for their exertions in his behalf, and by hoping that all feelings of irritation would end with the contest. Mr. CHARLES LurinniciTort then proceeded to address the assemblage, and was received with cheers and hisses. The uproar during his brief address was perfectly deafening. He said he had to express his strongest and heartfelt obligations to them for the high and honourable position in which he had been placed by a large majority of the electors of Westminster. The in defatigable exertions of his friends had placed him in this flattering position, and he begged to tender his most cordial thanks to them. The contest was unex ampled in its nature, as he had been the " stricken deer " which both Tory and Radical had sought to vanquish, especially towards the close of the polling. An unnatural coalition had been sedulously directed against him ; but the efforts of bis opponents had been signally defeated—nevertheless, the bitterness of those who were opposed to him, should not cause him to swerve from his duty, as he should perform it equally towards all.—(Cheers.) Even to those who had shown the utmost bitterness of feeling towards him he should be happy to do service in his public situation. From the beginning to the end of the contest he had never joined in sanctioning any bitter ness of feeling ; and though he might be unpopular at the present moment—('- No, no ")—he should endeavour by his conduct in the future to show his present one mien that he was deserving of the confidence of the constituency. He congratulated them upon the election of their old and tried friend, Sir De Lacy Evans. He was well pleased to stand second, and he should alway s be • ready to coalesce with him in rendering them service. —(Loud cheers.) He assured them that he should faithfully adhere to, and unflinchingly prosecute, the principles on which he had sought their suffrages.—(Cleers.) And when he should find it necessary to withdraw from the representation, either from infirmity or from some other cause, he trusted it might be said of him—" He did his duty." Mr. CHARLES COCHRANE then stood up on an elevated place on the hustings, and, supported by the legs and by the coat tails by a body of his friends, proceeded in a hoarse voice to address the vast assemblage, by whom he was received in the most enthusiastic manner. His spirits were not quite so mercurial as on the day of the nomination, and we were displeased to find that his demeanour towards the ladies, who lustily waved their handkerchiefs out of the balcony, was not quite so gallant as on the day of his debAt on the hustings. He looked defeated Sand seemed keenly to feel that a seat in the Legislature was not quite so near at hand as his self-esteem and the over zeal of his friends had led him to believe. After beseeching silence of the crowd, and repeatedly complaining, until everybody on the hustings laughed—even his own adherents—that some parties were creating a noise and interrupting him at the back of the hustings, he proceeded to say, that he regretted the over-zeal of his friends had caused him to interrupt the Gallant General in an unseemly manner last evening, and that they had fought a glori ous battle, for the purpose of returning the man who, in the true sense of the term, was the man of the people— (Cheers and bravo)—the popular man in that great city. —(Bravo.)Surelyhishenourable opponent swould not deny that he was the popular man.—(Cries of " No, no," and cheers.) Why, the fact that he could obtain silence and that his opponents could not, satisfactorily proved this. — (The crowd was far from quiet during his address.) It was true they had lost the battle—(Loud cries from the crowd of " No, no,")—but they had shown their strength when they were bound together for the promotion of one common purpose. According to the returns, the Gallant General was at the head of the poll, and Mr. Lushington second, and but twelve above him.—(lno manse cileering.) It was a remarkable circumstance that, though elected, his opponents could not command a hearing, and that they tried to silence him by causing; an uproar at the back of the hustings.—(A. voice on the hustings, "It is a Tory.") But it his opponents did their duty, what he said was, long might they enjoy their honours. It was the opinion of the gentlemen who formed the Committee appointed for the purpose of conducting his election that they should be enabled to prove a satisfactory case against his opponents of false returns, of corruption, of persons voting for those who were at home sick in their beds, and that be had a ma jority over Mr. Lushington.—( Vociferous cheering.) They had abundant evidence to prove this.—(Renewed cheers, cries of " Oh! oh!" and groans.) It was a curious circumstance with respect to the interruption at the back of the hustings that The Sun newspaper had stated on the day of the nomi nation, that his party had hired a large number of persons to place themselves opposite the hustings for the purpose of hooting his opponent; but The Sun might now remark with truth, that several gentle men had made it their bwiness to take up their places behind his Hon. Opponents at the back of the hustings for the express purpose of interrupting him. [We were correct in what we stated in The Sun of Wednesday. A set of course ruffians each day occu pied the :pace immediately in front of the hustings. The same faces we saw each day—there was no mistak ing them—and they appeared to be " fugled" in their groans and chef rs by Mr.Cochrane's adherents en the bust ngs, andwere doubtlesspaid for theiroisinterestedlab(st He then went on to state that it was a base insinuation to charge him with being a Tory—that he was an un compromising Liberal, independent of the Reform or Carlton Clubs, but more especially of the Reform Asso ciation of Westminster ; that he had to-day voted for Lord Dudley Stuart and Sir Benjamin Hall ; that 2,600 votes of his were plumpers ; and that if he had split votes with Lord Mandeville he should have been elected, but he scorned to do so.—(Cheers.) He attributed, principally, the unsuccessful result of the contest to the inefficiency of his principal agent, and to general want of experience in cont es t s on th part of all who had supported him, and on his own part. Many of his supporters had not had pulling cards distributed to them, and for the first three hours of the contest the utmost confusion prevailed, as his friends did not know where to poll, and the result was, that many did not poll at all, and others polled for the other candidates. In the opinion of the oldest electioneering agents, ni similar triumph had attended the first contest of the many distinguished individuals who had contested Westminster. The Hon. Gentle man retired amidst loud cheering, and waving of hats and handkerchiefs. On the motion of Sir DE LACY Evaxs, seconded by Mr. COCHRANE, a vote of thanks was awarded to the High Constable, and the vast assemblage slowly sepa. rated. Neither Lord Mandeville nor his friends presented themselves on the hustings. YARMOUTH. CLOSE OF THE POLL. Lord A. C.

The ad joining house, occupied by Mr. Alinnall, a druggist, on the south, and a coach manufactory and residence, on the north, also took fire, and the iLhabitants had barely time to save the furniture. The Cross Keys Inn, also adjoining, took fire, and was much damaged. The drugs in Mr. 31innall's shop, and some of the furniture were safely deposited in the gaol, but the whole of the furni ture in the house in which the fire originated was de stroyed, and nothing was left but the bare walls. Mr,. Ings, the wife of the occupier of this house, had retiredto rest alone, her husband being occupied in elec tioneering matters, the poll for this city taking place to day, and being awoke by the smoke and fire, threw her self from her bedroom window, and was very seriously hurt, her thigh arid some of her rib, having been frac tured, besides other injuries. The fire is supposed to have originated in a spark from a candle falling unob served among some dry chips. It appears that Mrs. Ings had, just before retiring to rest, placed some chips in a lower room, and it is supposed that a spas k from her candle must have fallen among them. The adjoin tng houses were save d t h roug h th e exert i ons o f th e firemen ; and the fire was gut under by about three o'clock. We are happy to announce that the Marchioness of Abercorn was lately delivered of a daughter on Thurs day, the 29th, at the priory,
