BRISTOL. WHIG TREACHRRY.-It would be in vain to attempt to de scribe the excitement prevalent in the city of Bristol owing to a sull en announcement at the nomination this morning of a third cantidate in the person of John Cam Hobbouse, and the simultaneous issuing of placards and cards announcing a coali tion between him and Baillie. The conservatives who brought in Baillie at the last election against Protheroe, and would have dune the same now, were astounded, and of course totally un prepared. The whole business was over at nalf-past eleven, jolt the conservative committee have since unaniinow=lv decided to put Philip John Mites, Esq., in nomination on Winesday, previous to the commencement of the polling. Every con servative is now canvassing for Vyvyan and Miles, awl the radicals are already aghast the storm they have raised They thought they were safe in the three-cornered election, and little dreamed that a second conservative, especially one so iutluential as Niiles, would come forward. Such is the disgust at the treachery of Baillie, who has, however, doubtless through fear, abstained from :naking his appearance, that a-tory would rather give a second vote to flobhouse than to him. EETER. The candidates for this ancient city are Sir Win. Follett, the Solicitor-General, Mr. I. W. Batter, and Mr. Divett. Mr. Boller is, we believe. a moderat e w hi g; Di vett i s a ra di ca l. The norni vat i on took' place on 'Monday. Se. Win. Follett a 'dressed the electors in the following terms:—Gentlemen, although my reception must be a subject et great personal gratificetion, and .will increase my gratifica tion if I succeed in my hiehest - object of ambition, still there are higher considerations and deeper objects involved in the present contest, for I believe that on the result of the elections at the present time depend the very existence of the British Con stitutieu. the freedom and happiness of the people, the continu ation of that limited minarchy under which this kingdom has become happy and glorious. (L ou d cheering.) eltly learned friend (Mr. Tyrrell) has adverted to what he calls a (dissolution of the ministry six months ago, and of another two months since. If 1 und ers t oo d hi m, he considered one to be an exercise of the undoubted prerogative of the crown. Bet I ask Mr. Tyrrell and the party whose political opi n i ons h e. represents w h at was it that dis so l ve d the iniuistry six months ago? - I ask him what it was that induced Earl Grey to abandon his own administration ? What was it that induced Lord Stanley, Lord Ripon, and Sir James Graham to leave it? (Cheers.) What was it e l ask, that dissolved that administration? Was it the wish .Of the King ? Was it any nndue exercise of the royal prerogative ? Was it the meddling and officious interference of what has been called in the country the tore faction? (Loud cheers.) I ask if Earl Grey, the Earl o f Ri pon, L or d Stanley, awl Sir James Grah am did not qpit the government because they saw that they c ou ld not resist the spirit of destruction which called aloud for ehe overthrow of all our institutions? (Cheers• and uproar.) Why, gentlemen, was it that they separated them selves from their colleagues, from the vete men with whom they hat brought forward and carried the reform bill ? And what was the questien on which they felt compelled to have them? To what cause he (Mr. Tsirrell) did - not advert, but 1 will say it was one which concerned L the very existence of the established religion of the church of England =(cheers)—it was on a ques tion —one concernin g w hi c h Mr. Divett says he will uphold— the conaexion of church and state. (Renewed cheering.) That "cession, gentlemen, was on the question whether we should have an established religion at all, or whether the property which the piety of our predecessors had given to the church should be taken hum it an applied to objects for which it was not designed by its original donors. He has adverted to the dissolution of the ministry six months since; and, if I under staufl his argitramt rightly, it is, that though that was fit and eleeer the last was Girt called for. Why, geutle.men, has not the wg ettempted to go on with what remained of that ministry ? Tile 'King has attempted to do so, and has gone on with them neat he found it impossible to go on any longer. (Cheers.) And if they could not carry on the government of the country any l onger to whom was the King to go? Were the remains of that government prepared to carry on further negociations with the great demagogues of Ireland? Would they recommend the King to take into hie councils a party who were opposed to the c "finexisin of that country with England? Would they recom mend him to take ministers whose measures would end in the dis memberment of the empire and the destruction of the monarchy ? If, then, they would not advi se suc h a course , I as k w hy they are not willing to g ive the King's present ministers a fair trial? My friend says that they are opposed to reform. I deny that they are so; and I ant ready to take the particular incidents to which be has alluded, and tell him that the government is wil ling and prepared to carry those reforms which he has adverted to. But, gentlemen, do not suppose that this government, nor, I hope any other, will proceed to make any violent or extreme changes in the constitution; and I will say to my hon. friend that if he has properly read the history of the constitution he will see that it has been one continued series of reform ; he will see that it has been, from time to time, altered and reformed, adapted according to the changing spirit and intelligence of the age. and keeping equal pace with it s wan t s an d necess i t i es . 'I hat is the history of the constitution of this country, and sure I am that if the spirit of reform is ministered to with the same careful hand, the constitution will still stand as it has stood, firm and erect amid the crumbling absolute monarchies and un stable democratic governments which surround us.—(The ex cessive interruption which prevailed from the body of the hall prevented our catching the whole of the above sentence; we believe, however, we give the sentiment.)—The hon. gentleman then commented at some len g th on th e alleged grievances of dissenters, the subject of church Tates, corporation reform, &c. Sir William Follett thus concluded his admirable address :—I am not aware that uty hon. friend has touched on any specific matter of reform which is necessary to the well-being of the community. I have told him iu what I agree and in what I dissent from him • but wheu he imputes the flourishing state of the country to the ' late ministers I cannot agree with hiin, and I do not think dire had been speaking to a body of agriculturists he would have told them of their flourishing state. (Cheers.) They, however, if they had been so told, wodid not have thought so • nor can I, in the flee of the petitions and statements which they have made. Nor do I believe the country is in that flou rishing condition which he supposes, and still less do I believe that it can be owing to the Demisters who have left office. Sir William apologised for detaining them so long, and urged on his friends to come early to the poll. The cause in which they were embarked was of the highest importance, and he sincerely believed if Exeter set the example, as he trusted she would, of attachment to the constitution and good order of society—(A voice inehe batty of the hall cried out, " She has always done it.") I hear someoae iiy she lies always done it, and I hope she always will. Sir William concluded by . earnestly urging an early attendance g the pull, and expressing his conviction that they would be successful. A show of hands was then taken. For Mr. Buller the show was certainly stall. Mr. Divett, ou being put was loudly cheered try his friends, and Sir Wm. Follett was loudly and enthusiastically greeted. The show of hands was declared by the sheriff to in favour of Mr. Divett and Sir W. Follett, an I the announcement was received by loud bursts of cheering. A. poll was then demanded for Mr. Boller. The business of the nomination concluded a few minutes before two o'clock. The pulling commenced at nine o'clock on Tuesday last. JA.NUAIitY 9, 18-45. DEVONPORT. An arduous eontest is expected for the representation of this important place; hut .we are happy to learn that Mr. Dawson Las every prospect of success. CARLISLE, Jan. 4.—Mr. James, the radical member for Carlisle, having resigned bis pretensions to represent this city, the Whig-radicals here brought forward a Mr. William Marshall, son of Mr. Marshall, of Leeds, a barrister, with the only recommendation of being willing to "go the whole hog." Ile was found at Warwick, where he was about to offer himself as a candidate fur one division of the county,.and brought to Carlisle post lassie, where he immediately issued an address of an extreme radical complexion, abusing the present ministry, breathing violent hostility against them, and advocating short parlia ments, household suffrage, the ballot, and sweeping reforms in cur p 'rations and the church. The violent character of this address aroused the dormant energies of the conservatives, who forthwith met, and resolved at all hazards to oppose Mr. Mar shall; to make a strenuous effort to rescue Carlisle from the threatened disgrace of returning again so destructive a mem ber. Afters...tine deliberation and much inquiry, in the progress of which the great2st unanimity and good feeling prevailed among all the several sections of con , ervatives, it wy t at length determined to call upon William Garnett, Esq., President of the Chamber of Commerce at Manchester, to become a candi date. A deputation was dispatched to solicit his presence, and 113 arrived hera this morning. He is a liberal and enlightened conservative, and the personal friend of Sir It. Peel, whose government he will support. To-day he has been twice at Church, and, in the observance of that decorum of which all Conservatives must approve, nothing has been dune; but to- In4rrow morning a committee will be formed, to consist of the leading gentry, bankers, manufacturers, professional men, and tradesmen of the city, who will prosecutealong with him a vigor ous canvass. His return is considered nes tto certain. The nomi nation is fixed fur Tuesday , and the polling will probably com mence on Thursday. Mr. 'P. 11 Howard, the other candidate,_ has issued a temperate address, and it is most likely he will be the colleague of Mr. Garnett. There is a decided re-action here iu favour of conservative principles. (From a Correspondent.) The election for this city commenced on Tuesday, when Mr Howard, Mr. Marshall, and Mr. William Garnett, a gentle man from Manchester, were proposed. Mr. Garnett, in a speech explanatory of his political sentiments, said :—" It has been ob jected to me that I would - be ready to become a supporter of the Inesertit administration; hut I shall only support them when I think they are acting for' the benefit of the country. (Cheers and cries of "That's good.") It has been said they have been tried already, and are the same men they were; but it is not so. I think they are altered in their views. If they are the same 'ten they were, would Sir Robert Peel have d ec l are d hi s willing ness to abolish church rates? if they are the same, would they :be ready to support the reform bill? if they are same, Would they agree to reform municipal corporations? These things, I think, are prima facie evidence that they have seen their errors, and are ready to correct them. (Cheers and up rear.) If I go to 'parliament, I go free and independent; I am above. emptations; I seek no favours, and I wish for no office; I shall look to measures more than to men : if they are good, I shall support; if they are bad, I shall oppose them. (Cheers and cries of "That's right, lad.") Now, as to the established church—l stand much attached to that church. I admire its tolerant principles; I reverence its scriptural doctrines. I shall therefore support it in all it, integrity, though anxious to see its revenues more equally divid e d, and every abuse corrected; but on no account will I consent that any part of its revenues shall be applied to any other thau ecclesiastical purposes. (Cheers .end disapprobation.) As to the dissenters, I would have them front all civil disabilities. (A cry of "Tithes, let us :tear what you say to tithes.") I thank my eriend for reminding ne of - that; For never was there a greater delusion pract sad upon the people than with respect to that questiou. If tithes .etre _done away with ta_morrow, the landlords would put the :coney in their own pockets—(disapprohation)—and then of what benefit would it be to the people ? (Great cheering and cries of "No, no.") I am aware Of the angry feelings too often" excited by the payment of tithes, and - should be very ready t o advocate their being done away with by any fair coin rnutrition. • (Cheers and disapprobation.) As to the subject of taxation, I think that this princ iple should always b e k ept i n new --that taxation should press most heavily upon those who have the greatest stake in the country; and the most lightly upon those who live by their industry, and are the least able to bear it. (Cheers and cries of "Bravo.") As to taxing articles of manufacture—the raw material, or the like—l think it most impolitic and unjust,. and should strenuously at ek to remove all such taxes. They fall upou wages, and are therefore most °l)Prossive to the working classes. (Loud cheering.) Now as to th e p oor l aw bill. ("That's Eight.") In the lest session of parliament, a bill was passed entitled "The Poor Law Amend ment Act." (Cries of "Do away with it all.") Aye, it ought indeed—it ought to be done away with; for it is most cruel and 9 ) l s 'essive. tCheers.) But vim scarcely know what its opera tion ix here, where the old lews have lawn su well administered. The country ie to be taxed for building workhouses. The guardian of the poor, instead of giving the poor relief, is to te~ve them th e option of going into the workhouse; so that the workhouse becomes a prison, and the guardian its turnkey. I have no not i on of such humaeity. The poor are men like our selvm and ought to be provideehr. and (realer' with kindness. Mudd cheering.) Another cruel feature in this act is that re lating to , the mothers of illegitimate children. I consider those of the bitt ui ni,trous. Tnat the heartless seducer shouid be allowed to ecaoe ali the conseluences of iais guilt, whilst the unfortunate victim is to bear it,t only the ignominy. bat the barthen of. maintaining his offspring. The, effect of this will be to produce infanticide. I ace sure in saying this, I speak in accordance with your best feelings." (Cheering.) Mr. Garnett declared that he was uppose:lta "the ballot" and to " annual parliaments." WESTMORELAND. • KEN DAL, Jan. 4--A dirty attempt to create annoyance in this county, will now be made by the w'ligs. After it had been given out by them that no opposition would, be offered to the election of Lord Lowther and his brother, the Colonel, they have at the last moment started Mr. Barham as a candidate against the late members. This is very characteristic as a whit mance•ivre, but it will do no harm beyond what is inse parable from a vexatious contest; as from the state of the registry Mr. Barham has not the slightest chance. ST..kFFORDSfiIIin It is now said, that ten or eleven members out of fifteen re turned for this county, (including Dadley, which, like Tam worth, is on the border, and partly in two counties,) will support the Governinent. It is pretty welt understood th,it SirJ. Wrot tesley, Bart., (South,) and Sir Oswald Mosley, (North) will not puSh reform principles farther than Lord Stanley did. It is reported that, if, after the canvass in Liverpool, there be any thing doubtful in 'Lord Sandoq's position there, he will imme diately be put in nomination for North Staffordshire, and, if he be nominated, his return is certain. Further, if Lord Sandon come forward, J. W. Russell, Esq., will be his colleague on the conservative interest. GRANTIIAM Mr. Glynne Earle We!by, eldest son of Sir William Welby, of Denton House, has commenced his canvass for the represen tation of this place, and so entirely successful was its result that hardly a doubt remains of his re-election, The dissenters in the meanwhile.are straining every nerve to induce a candidate in the opposite interest to come forward, but we are quite sure their efforts will be unavailing. On Wednesday and three following days Mr. Algernon Tolleinaehe paid his respects to the resident electors. Mr. Tollemache's principles are strictly independent• He has fulfilled all his previous :.ledges, and his return is consi dered certain. The election takes place at Guildhall ou Tues day, the 6th inst. WORCESTER. The nomination day in this city his passed over.with the low radicals refusing Mr. Bailey, our new candidate, and a liberal reformer, whose sentiments are in perfect unison with Sir It. Peel, the opportunity which the freedom of election and the freedom of speech ought to allow to every candidate. The show of hands was in favour of Colonel Davies and Mr. Robin son; a poll was demanded by Mr. butch; and to the poll Mr. Bailey will go with every prospect of success. LINCOLNSHIRE. Whilst the prima-bifft b' of the House of Commons, Sir W Ingilby, and his partisans have been keeping a sharp look out for a tory opposition he has met with an opponent where he, or they, least expected. Mr. Heneage, of Haiuton, the ex-M.P. for Lincoln, has entered the field for the northern division of the county, and, in conjunction with the Hon. Mr. Pelham, eldest s'in of Lord Yarborough, will in all probability be returned ; for although the honourable candidate is a Whig the tories are expected to lend him their aid for the purpose of ejecting Sir William, whose radicalism-buffoonery, and disgusting attacks on the church, have inspired a feeling 'of general dislike. It is quite amusing, however to see the radical artillery directed against Lord Yarborough and Mr. Pelham, which had long been accumulating for some tory aspirant. They, on the occa sion of the former election two years ago, when lending their aid to Sir W. IntTilbY, were the very beau ideal of constitutional country gentlemen. A change comes o'er the spirit of my dream," and they are at present leagued to destroy the independence of the country;_ to trample on the dearest rights of the electors; to assume a dictatorship which the constitution forbids, and, in short, to lend their influence to seat Mr. Heneage in the House of Commons, and to unseat Sir William, a result most devoutly' to be wished, seeing his utter inefficiency to represent the lead ing agricultural county in Great Britain. PORTSMOUTH. MONDAY, JAN. s.—The nomination of candidates for the re presentation of the borough of Portsmouth took place this day at one o'clock P.M. The requisite forms having been gone through at the Sessions'-room, the Mayor adjourned the fur ther proceedings to the hustings in St. George's-square, in front of which were assembled from six to eight thousand persons. At one o'clock the candidates appeared on the hustings, and after several rounds of cheers from their respective supporters, William Grant, Esq., banker, came forward to propose John Bonham Carter, Esq., one of the late members, as a fit and proper person to represent the borough in parliament; this nomination was seconded by Mr. Thomas Jackson, staymaker. Mr. Alderman Cooper, surgeon, then proposed Francis Thorn hill Baring, Esq., also one of the late members, which was se conded by Mr. W. Ellis, shoemaker. Admiral C. Napier was was next nominated by William Casher, Esq., wine-merchant, and seconded by William Attield, Esq., ti►nber-merchant. John T. Garrett, Esq., brewer, then proposed Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Rowley, K.C.8., and which nomination was seconded by Daniel Quarrier, Esq., M.D. The candidates then severally addressed the assembled electors, &c., in the order in which the y were proposed, and the speeches were, of course, received by the various parties according as the sentiments expressed were approved or otherwise. It was, however, quite clear, from the very first indications of party feeling .chich were exhibited, that Row ley and Napier were the popular candidates; and on a show of hands being required by the returning Officer, there was an immense majority in favour of those two gentlemen. The Mayor then declared that the show of hands was in favour of Charles Napier, Esq., and Admiral Sir Charles Rowley. It would be impossible . to describe the enthusiastic manner in which this announcement was received. The cheers which followed lasted for several minutes, and on their subsiding, Mr. Lang, ou the part of Messrs. Carter and Baring, demanded a poll. These gentlemen, however, afterwards demanded it on their own behalf. The only point to which we have time to allude, is the attempt which was made by Messrs. Carter and Baring to prove that a - coalition had been formed between Sir Charles Rowley and Mr. Napier—a coalition, which, if it had been en tered into between two parties who professed such opposite political sentiments, would have implied a compromise of prin c►ple equally discreditable to both. The fact was, however, positively and unequivotally denied by Sir Charles. The Mayor then announced that the polling would commence on Tuesday morning at nine o'clock, and the parties, after several more rounds of cheers for Sir Charles and Mr. Napier, separated. It is the general opinion that Mr. J. 8. - Carter and Sir Charles Rowley will be returned. HORSHAM. The nomination took place here to-day at one o'clock. Each candidate %% a s attended by his friends. Mr. Hurst was nomi nated by W. Rickwood, Esq., and was seconded by Mr. Geo. Dawson. Sir Timothy Shelley, Bart., proposed Thos. Broad wood, Esq., of Hohnbush. The nomination was seconded by Pitfold Nledwin, Esq. The candidates then addressed the electors and assembled multitude amidst much tumult. On a show of hands those in favour of Mr. Broadwood greatly predo minated; and the returning officer declared that the choice had fallen on that candidate; on which Mr. Padwick, the profes sion it agent of Mr. Hurst, demanded a poll, which will com mence to-morrow at nine o'clock. HASTINGS. The mayor has declared the show of hands in favour of the Right Hon. Joseph Planta and Howard Elphiustone, Esq. SANDWICH. DEAL, JAN. s.—This being the day appointed for the nomi nation of the new members to be returned to Parliament for the borough of Sandwich, the following candidates appeared on the hustings, and were severally put forward by their respective friends, and nominated; viz.:—Mr. Samuel Grove Price (C ) ; Rear-Admiral Sir H. Owen, Bart. (C.) ; and Captain Sir Tho mas Troubridge, R.N. (R.) A vast number of the electors and other persons from Ramsgate, Deal, Walmer, and their vicini ties assembled on the occasion, and the addresses made by the two former were so satisfactory. from their manliness and sound doctrines, as to bring forth.universal bursts of applause; while, on the latter addressing himself, he was assailed repeatedly with much ill-humour. The election commences to-morrow: of the issue no doubt exists of the success of Mr. Price, while the friends of the admiral entertain strong hopes of success. PETERBOROUGH. - - - The conservatives have raised their banner in the ancient city of Peterborough, and are contesting with Earl Fitzwilliam whe ther or not he shall preserve his dear-bought borough influence in all its rottenness. The loud and anxious demands , made by the gentry, tradcsfolks, and commoners for a third man of con servative principles have occasioned the present contest. Nor is this to be wondered.at, seeing that the clergy, who have been overlooked by the noble lord in the hour of his pride and domina tion, are well known and esteemed to be the steady and con tinued friends and supporters of every tradesman and public im provement in the city. Their possessions, then, are equal to thn§e of the haughty house of Milton ; but these, too, have of late - years been forgotten and unrepresented. The conservatives have chosen : Walker Ferranti, Esq., of Harden Grange, near Bingley, Yorkshire, for their champion, and gone into battle determined to fight it out inch by inch, and with such a spirit in their good cause we,see not how they are to fail. 'threats and cajoling, if,such are resorted to by the whig party, can have little influence here. The one we triist our friends are superior to, the other has made so many dupes already that Sir Robert Heron must discover some new and more cunning mode of management before his broten promises can again pass current. It is against Sir Robert, and the declared enemy of the church, that the pub lic indignation has been roused, and whom it is resolved to cashier, if possible. Tuesday is fixed for the nomination, and we trust, in our next, most confidently to announce Walker Ferranti, Esq., second, if not first, on the poll. • EVESIIAM. At the nomination yesterday the late whig member, Mr. Hudson, resigned the field to his conservative opponent, Mr. Borthwick. Mr. Hudson's party, thus deserted at the eleventh hour, brought forward a gentleman of the neighbourhood, Mr. Budge; but so effectually have Mr. Borthwick's sterling principles and brilliant talents recommended him to the worthy electors that even- should his opponent have proceeded to a poll this morning it is thought scarcely possible that he will disturb the town by renewing it to-morrow. • MAIDSTONE. On Monday the nomination took place. Messrs. Roharts and Barnett were nominated for the bities, and Wyndham Lewis for the purples or Tories A show of hands Ras in faviiur of the liberal candidates. A poll was demanded by Mr.: Lewis. READING. On Monday the candidates to represent this borough in par liament were put in nomination at the Town-hall. Before any candidates were proposed it was announced by Mr. Salmon that Mr. Fvshe Palmer, one of the late members, had declined to again tccome a candidate. The other member, Mr. Russell, was then proposed by Mr. H. Simmonds, and seconded by Mr. Quelch. The new candidates ate Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, who is a native of Reading, and Mr. Olivera, the son of an eminent Portuguese merchant. The former was proposed by Mr. Vines, and seconded by Mr. Morris: the latter by Mr. Gil christ and Mr. Champion. A show of hands was taken, which the mayor declared to be in favour of the learned sergeant and Mr. Olivera. A poll was demanded ti the part of Mr. Russell. The politics of Mr. Talfourd are Mend, and proposes to give every relief to the dissenters; and Mr. Olivera states iu his address that he has no confidence.in the present ministers. BARNSLEY. Mr. Lascelles.has disappointed us but at the last meeting at Wakefield, on Thursday, Becket Denison, Esq., brother to the present Budge Advocate, was proposed es a candidate fur the West Riding. We are very- sanguine of success. ME LIVERPOOL STANI)ARD. NEWARK. Mr.liaiLlley has, retired from the representation of this bo rough, aril in ad prooability • Mr. W. E. Gladstone and Mr. Sergeant Wilde will he returned without opposition. Mr. Gladstone is, without exception, one of the most talented young men who entered the last parliament. Several of his speeches manifested research and ability of the highest order; and in listening to his admirable addresses we are equally charmed with the graceful elegance of his manner and the polished eloquence of his style. We hail his appointment as one of the Lords of the Tteasury with peculiar pleasure. Another well-tried con servative ought to be Mr. Gladstouc's colleague fur.Newadx. Nottingham Journal. BANBURY, The election of the member for this place is decided in favour of Mr. Taucred, the late member, a whig-radical, put in two years ago, on Lord Althorp's recommendation, by the dissenters in connexion with Birmingham, this town being one of its satel lites. Mr. Tancred is a barrister, unheard of by the public till Lord Althorp took him up, gave him excise (;fiefs and a silk gown. He is a younger son of Sir Tancred, Bart., and swore himself at Cambridge not worth £6O per annum to - obtain his fellowship. His politics are those of the Birmingham union, as expressed in his printed address. He pledges himself to. oppose any ministry in which the Duke of Wellington has influence, "without hesitation or delay." The other candidate was Mr. Lloyd" Williams. a magistrate, from the neighbourhood of Bir mingham—a man of good fortune, and a conservative whiff;, as it appears from his printed address. At twelve o'clock this day, after two h , nirs' polling, the numbers were—for Tancred, 16(3; for Lloyd Williams, 46. The total number of the electors is 368, so that the question is settled. Although the dissenters are the leaders, yet they would not be so strong but that a strong party of church radicals joins them. P.S.—Mr. Lloyd Williams has ,resigned, and prepatations are making to chair Mr. Taucred. BASSETLAW. The success of the Hon. Captain Arthur Dunconibe and Lord Charles Pelham Clinton, as candidates for Retforil with Basset law, may be considered certain. The former will have a great majority ; and the latter, who acceded to a most respectably signed requisition on the 2d inst., has decidedly taken the lead of Mr. G. H. Vernon, the now sole liberal candidate. Mr. Gaily Knight, the other liberal candidate, who was desirous to succeed Viscount Newark, to whom and to Mr. Vernon also he is nearly connected, issued an address to the electors, and com menced a canvass on the Ist inst. In the afternoon of the 2d be gave up the contest, and requested his friends to transfer their votes to Mr Vernon, which caused some dissatisfaction. It will be a most gratifying► proof of complete reaction, should the liberal members in the last two Parliaments fur this importzint district, containing nearly 2.500 voters, whereof the present libe ral candidate is also chairman in quarter sessions, and his late colleague, who, from his connexions, has great interest, be suc ceeded by two conservatives of noble families ; and it cannot be doubted that such will be the glorious result. METROPOLITAN ELECTIONS.-WEDNESDAT CITY or •LoNnori.---Aldernian Wood,. Pattison, Grote, and Crawford, four radicals, have been returned. M AII Y-LE-BONE.—That unfortunate gentleman Sir William Horne, who.was choused out of the Attorney-Generalship, will lose his seat. The winning candidates are Sir Saml. Whalley and one of the Bulwers. We really do not know which, and what is more we do not care.

American packet of the Bth December, and which was due on the 29th December, has not vet arrived. She should bring the speech of the President at the open ing of Congress, on the 4th December. Her delay is accounted for by the strong northerly and easterly winds which have prevailed ror some considerable time, but her arrival is hourly expected. We have every confidence that the result of the elec tions will be extremely favourable to the new, administra tion. In London and some of the large towns, where the poison whiCh ministers to destruction is in consider able abundance, the returns will be adverse, but upon the whole we have every reason to expect that the next will be a useful, an intelligent, and consequently a con servative parliament. We are not surprised at seeing the merchants of London discomfited by the servile crea tures who ate the cruets of the late ministry—the people who are represented by such a man as Sir John KEffor we never knew these merchants make any efforts to rescue their city from the disgrace of being ridden by whigs and destructives. They are ready enough to sign their names to an address, but they have no idea of working, of canvassing, of bringing their united influence to bear on public opinion. Their opponents understand these things better, and by dint of exertion they invariably succeed. There is a middle class of citizens who stand between the merchant and the artizan, between the wholesale trader and the retailer. and they have hitherto been enabled to exert an influence over the electors which is purely political, and which has no connexion whatever with the natural in fluence of property. The merchants, bankers, and ship owners of the city of London constitute the soul of the metropolis. They furnish the means of employment and subsistence to the labouring classes; but unfortunately there is no sympathy between these parties; no con descension on the part of the former, and no gratitude on the partof the latter. London is governed by one of the most corrupt corporations in the three kingdoms, and it is by corruption and jobbing of the worst kind that the leaders of the ruling faction sustain their popularity. In other places there is a strong sympathy which rises from the humble operative to his employer, from the employer to the merchant, banker, capitalist and landowner, and this sense of mutual dependence and identity of interest is productive of the most happy effects.. But there is no such acknowledged identity of interest amongst the irlbabitants of Lomlon. The head is not allowed to direct the hands, and the mob act by the influence of an unseen agency, which misleads them from the path that duty, interest, and the love of country would otherwise point out. _ _ _ . . Hence the degraded state of the London representation for many years, and hence also the decline of the trade of London, the emptiness of its warehouses, the misera ble destitution of the Siiitalfields weavers, and the low caste to which the artisans and labourers are reduced. It is in fact sinking under the pestilential influence of the beer shops and trades' unions, and it must continue to decline uhless some wholesome change is speedily effected. But how can this be hoped for when we see the Go vernor of the Bank of England throwing himself into the arms of levellers and destructives? What confidence can the public have in an establishment which has such a man for its chief director ? Well may we fear for the stability of other institutions and corporations, when so pernicious an example is set by the Bank of England. We know not what the independent capitalists of London say or think of a proceeding so utterly irreconcileable with the preservation of property and the stability of public credit; but this we venture to say, that if a di rector of:the Bank of England is suffered to bring all the influence of that immense establishment to bear in promoting his election—in furthering the election of a man who is an avowed leveller and destructive—the sooner the affairs of the bank are overhauled the better. It will not do to tell us that Mr. PATTISON is but one man, and that he is only exercising the right of private judgment. The Governor of the Bank of England is not a private individual. We cannot separate him from his official station. He is_ on the hustings, what he is in the bank parlour, the READ of that enormous establishment, which has the fate of thousands, nay of millions, in its band—which can at an hour's notice shake the credit of the nation to its base—which cati convert a period of prosperity into one of awful ruin and desolation—anti make him who is in affluent circumstances to-day a bank rupt and a beggar to-morrow. To have a destructive in the direction of such a powerful machine is a perilous experiment. It is like carrying a lighted candle into a powder magazine, or intrusting our life and property to a madman. The only consolation we have is that the mischievous schemes of the metropolitan members will be counteracted by the return of conservative candidates from every part of, the country. Their power of doing injury will there fore be limited to London, and there they are quite wel come to do as much evil as possible. Their foolish con stituents will be the greatest sufferers. TILE result of the Liverpool election, which terminated yesterday in placing Lord SANDON, by a considerable majority, at the head of the poll, will, we trust, convince the most incredulous that a reaction has begun in eai nest. The candidates were Lord SANDON, Sir HOWARD DOUG LAS, Mr. WBI. EWART, and Mr. MORRIS; and at the close of the poll on the first day (Tuesday last) the num • hers stood as follows : SANDON ....... 2,213 DOUGLAS EWART MORRIS ' 1,805 On Wednesday the town was in a state of extraordi nary agitation, and the EwAar party redoubled their exertions, and resorted to every species of temptation, and in many instances to threats and intimidation, in order to procure votes and regain the ground they had lost. All their efforts were in vain. Lord SANDON con tinued at the head of the poll ft otn the first to the last ; and the oni:i change that took place was Mr. EWART get ting a-head of Sir 110 WARD DOUGLAS, and winning his election by a mere handful of votes—how gained will be explained hereafter. At the close of the election at four o'clock on Wednesday, when several hundreds of electors remained unpolled, the numbers were— SANDON DOUGLAS EWART MORRIS .. IL would itus appear that Lord SAN Dom was 332 a-head Of EWART, and EWART 206 a-head of DOUGLAS. Now to show the reaction that has taken place we quote the numbers at the close of the last election, in 1832 : EWAu... SANDON . THORNELY DOUGLAS . 4,931 4,260 4,096 3,249 Here we find that Lord SANDON has risen in public favour nearly six hundred votes, while Mr. EWART has fallen to- the tune of-nine hundred votes, thus exhibiting a reaction of one thousand five hundred votes, upon the whole constituency. Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS, too, has gained six hundred votes, thereby clearly proving that a considerable majority of the electors are now in favour of conservative principles. In fact, the election might have been decided more favourably had the conservatives evinced a little more expertness and courage. The numbers'clemon strate that they could have returned Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS as well as Lord SANDON, had they acted in perfect coali tion as the opposite party did. However, we have no reason to complain, seeing that we have taught the whig and radical party that they .can no longer hope to dictate to the electors of Liverpool. Pride has had a fall, and Mr. EWART is kicked down from the pinnacle*—compelled to play a subordinate part .--and left in anything but an enviabli! position. In short, he owes his election to a mistake, which, we are confident, Will not be repeated. How long he will . be permitted - to remain one of our representatives we shall not here conjecture; but if certain facts which have come to our knowledge he substantiated, as we trust they will, Mr. WILLIAM EWART will be hurled from his seat by a process as speedy as it will reflect deep and lasting dishonour upon him and his party. We say no more at present, for there has not been sufficient time to investigate the returns and analyse the votes. ft would not surprise us, however, to learn that discoveries and disclosures have been made which are likely to unseat him. The next parliament will not be like what the last one was. We shall have some chance of obtaining justice, and, in•the pursuit of it, we hope no stone will. be left unturned—no efforts suffered to relax. On Tuesday, the first day, the,election proceeded with tolerably good hUrnour, out on the second day, when the ' destructives were fighting a desperate and losing battle, they conducted themselves in a most brutal and ferocious manner. They would not suffer the flags and badges of Lord SANDON and Sir HOWARD Dot,•oc4s to Proceed along the street. Cowardly ruffians, hired for the pur pose, were seen attacking women and children. 'Some miscreants pelted Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS with stones, al though, they knew that the honourable baronet had met with a serious accident and could not defend himself. One blackguard, an Irish one no doubt, was seen parlding the streets with a large hoard, on which was a death's head and cross bones, and the words " funeral of the tories." All this was done in order to intimidate, and exasperate, and if possible, get up a scene of riot and plunder: At 'the booth in the Haymarket, the policy of the destruc tives was to obstruct voters in proceeding to the poll. They surrounded the place in a dense crowd, and threat ened to murder every man who dared to vote for the conservative candidates. Similar conduct was openly en couraged by the partisans of EWART, Mr. JAMES BRANCEER, and Mr. JAMES AIKEN. At a pretended meeting of the ship carpenters, on Tuesday evening, which Messrs. BRANCEER and AIKIN had packed with the lowest class of Irishmen, one of these persons, hoil ing with rage, offered a personal insult to a respected alderman, and endeavoured to excite the ruffians who surrounded him to do him violence. Such conduct is truly disgusting, and unworthy of men who have the slightest pretensions to respectability. But all their efforts to promote anything like a serious breach of the peace most signally failed. They attracted around them the scum of the town—they inhaled the filmes of noisy drunkards— they shook hands with the vile and the worthless—but all their exertioris, deeply dyed as they were in pollution, failed to accomplish their object. They had the greatest difficulty in placing EWART second on the poll, while their favourite Mortßts was left in the lurch. But this is not all. We had not only the mud, the missiles, and the obstruction of the rabble of the town to contend against, but even the denunciations of the Roman catholic priests were turned to account against us. The or gans of this party had a meeting on Monday night, when they agreed to oppose the conservatives. In - order to chi this most effectually, some of the priests were induced to write urgent letters to some of their flock, beseeching them, in the most solemn terms, to vote for EWART and MORRIS. This, no doubt, is part of the league formed by the unita rians with the Roman catholics; and we have a very strong- suspicion that the scoundrel who exhibited the death's head was an emissary of O'CoNNELL's. We need not add, that most of the Roman catholic electors, urged thereto in the manner above described, voted against us. This conduct on their part must not be forgotten. We do not, complain of the Roman catholics exercising the franchise in any way reconcileable to their consciences; but we contend they have no right to combine anti place fetters on their humble brethren. The protestants of Liverpool do not deserve this treatment at their hands. They should recollect how much they are indebted to the protestants for the liberal support they have uniformly given to their public charities and their schools. They know that the principal burden of these institutions falls upon those whom they have thus opposed so bitterly and malevolently, and that we have it in our power to resent such conduct in a way that would be felt. Liberality is a fine thing, but it must not be all on one side. Upon the whole the freemen have conducted them selves in a laudable manner. Some of them have been intimidated from voting, while others have been induced to vote against us, but we hope against their inclinations. There is a vast difference between a slave and an apostate : the one is a compulsory, the other a willing victim. We have heard many rumours on the subject, which we trust are unfounded. At any rate, we think it better to abstain from any reflections until the whole particulars are collected. Mr. WM. EWART, we are informed, indulged in some scurrilous invectives against this journal while addressing his followers, at the Adelphi Hotel, on Wednesday even ing. His abuse was suited to his company,and in perfect keeping with his own character. He is quite Welcome to exhaust all his curious flowers cf speech upon us, who care just as little for him or his scurrility as we care for any person whom we despise. Mr. EWART was safe in the midst of the noisy but convenient pickpockets who shout in his rear, and who, in drawing his carriage, serve by contrast to elevate the worth of what are called the " inferior animals." Wnen he obtains a place in better society we shall possibly treat his slander and his imper tinence in a far different manner. To finish the proceedings, we have only to add, that - a worthy reformer in the garb of a quaker was taken up on Wednesday for attempting to do an act which looks very like swindling. The case is reported in oar police pro • ceedings, and we beg the reader's attention to it, as an illustration of the march of intellect and the effects of reform. ROBBING A PAUPtil.—On the 24th ult. the house occupied by Martha Cowell, a widow, 79 y e ars of age, living at Thaxied. and who has been for some years in the receipt of parish relief, was broken open and robbed . of money t o the :anoint of nearly twenty sovereigns. The th ieves forced down the wall by the side oi the back door, cut away the lath, and were thus enabled to unbolt the door. They then entered the old lady's apart ment, and she being very deaf cud sound asleep, they contrived to remove a pocket, containing all her money, frmn under her pillow, without disturbing her. Tie following morning the widow missed her money, but not knowing the exact amount of her loss, she rather under . than overrated it to her neighbours. Two or three days after the' robbery, suspicion was excited against a man of very indifferent character, named John 13ut ton, who was observed with several sovereigns in his posses• sion, though he was known to have been previously quite des titute. Button's wife also had slept with Mrs. Cowed during the harvest, and was acquainted with her depository. Limier these circumstances, Button was apprehended at Thaxtedon Tuesday l ast, by Palmer, th e consta b le, w h o, on sea r c h i ng . found a silver watch and 17s.

City, Wednesday Evening, half-past Seven o'clock. - The destinctives have triumphed—the scum is uppermost — the cit i y of London is disgraced—audunless the provinces ItSCUet their Sovereign, the altar and the throne are prostrated. 'At the close of this day, Which terminates the election for the city, the numbers were as follow :—Wood 6518, Grote 6081, Craw ford 6073, Mattison 6137, Lyall 4b71, Ward 4635, Wilson 4511, so that the major part of the wealth, integrity, and commercial importance of Loudon will have no repiesentutive whatever. The remit of this debasement of the ftanchise of the capital has been a decline in Consols. for, as might be expected, the mo neyed interests are much dismayed by the result, a result as much caused by their own indolence as by any absolute pre dominance of the " destructive" principle "here. The activity of the mob partizans has in truth formed a strong contrast to the quietude with which the conservative party here has moved. The former worked as if every vote they obtained was one step nearer the coffers of their opponents. the latter progressed as though, knowing the contents of the coffers were the produce if their industry, it would he therefore held sacred by such a set as those aiming at the prostration of public and private security to mobocracy, anarchy, and confusion.

At Grenada, jjle governor had beetreimilarly outraged for declining to we:it/ribbons with the mottos—`c Liberty or Death" and " The Constitution or Death." In the latter capital, the members of a religious com munity, including the abbot, had been arrested without the con currence of the governor; and at Seiille the theatre had also been the scene of disturbance.

LIVERPOOL POLICE. (Before Mr. Alderman JOHN BOURNE.)

Ewart, one of the newly-elected members of parlia ment for this borough. It appeared from the evidence adduced in support of the charge against the prisoners, the! Gilpin called about half-past nine o'clock on Tuesday night at the house of an elector named Allen. Not lin/ling Allen at home, Gilpin informed Mrs. Allen that any other man would do as well es her husband ; up ni which Sanders was pointed out to Gilpin, awl, after some consultation, was requested by the latter to ten der his vote at one of th e polling booths on the following morn ing, (Wednesday,) in the name of Alien. To enable Sanders to commit the fraud with less chance of detection, a card was given him with Alien's name written upon it. As agreed upon by the patties, Sanders, early on Wednesday morning, pre sented himself at one of the booths, and gave a vote for Mr. Ewart, in the name of Allen, describing himself to be Allen, the person who was supposed to have voted. After the vote had been recorded the fraud was detected, and the parties were both taken into custody, and brought before - the sitting magis trate for examination. A case of misdemeanour having been fully proved, Gilpin and Sanders were held to bail to answer at the ensuing sessions any indictment that may be preferred against them. The hail required from ea c h of th e cu l pr i ts was £5O, and two good securities for £25 each. We have only Po add that Mr. Henry Gilpin is a member of the Society t f Friends. IRELAND. AGITATION AND MURDER IN NEW ROSS. DuaciN, Jars. 3.—A letter from New Ross, arrived this ;mim ing, brings the shocking intelligence that old Counsellor Foot, of Rosbercon, a village ou the Kilkenny side of the river, was savagely murdered at four o'clock yesterday afternoon. Ills cold and mangled body was found about half an hour after in a small lane adjacent to his dwelling-house. The brains were ac tually dashed out with stones! Five men were iinme6iately taken up by the police on suspicion, and lodged in the gaol of New Ross. It will be recollected that this old gentleman (aged 72) was seriously wounded in a sanguinary attack about a year since, when a shot was fired at him from behind a hedge, the effects of which confined him during several weeks of suffering to his bed. The assassins have now taken a surer mode of de stroying the devoted object of their vengeance. The impunity ou which they calculated in the present awful state of parti san feelitir , which our unpriucipled and reckless agitators ha ve excited in this district is very remarkable, four of his labourers being at work in a adjoining field at the very mementof the bru tal murder. His son, Edward Lundy . Foot, also a barrister, sets off this evening from this city to investigate the circum stances of the awful transaction, and take measures for bring ing the daring and ruthless perpetrators to the bar of justice. This is a service of danger at such a crisis, when all the ties of good - neighbourhood, old friendship, and christiau charity-are set at naught by the barbarous dictation of the demagogues of the hour. Exclusive dealing—denunciation of political oppo nents—lines drawn in the dust to exclude individuals from all sympathy and assistance, even in their utmost need of the com mon offices of humanity—death's head and cross-hones affixed as the brand of excommunication, at once the symbol and in citement to destruction—these ate the doctrines and illustra tions which Mr. O'Connell and his associates are inculcating and enforcing for the " moral pacification" of the country. The melancholy subject of this letter is one of the first fruits of their labours, and forms of itself the most natural and effective commentary on the late unchristian address of Mr. O'Connell to " the men of Ross." Poor Mr. Foot was already a marked man, ou the old ground of quarrels nit,' hi, tenantry. It only needed a line in the dust, drawn before his.deor, to exclude him (as AL-. O'Connell assured us) from the pale of civilised so ciety, and all the sympathies of his fellow men. The result proves too well the truth of his prophecy, and of his power to cause it to come to pass. Will a British Government ever ex ert its power to bring Ireland within the pale? It is still as it was ere the arrival of Strongbow—the wild forest chase of agi tators, denunciators, excommunicators, and assassins. THE LIVERPOOL BEEF STEAK Cl.tl3.—Lord Sandon and Sir Howard Douglas honour the Beef Steak Club with their pre sence at dinner on Saturday next, at the Adelphi Hotel.

Wood, Prothero, and Wortley, it appears ran very high, and several skertuishes in the streets. between them, took place, in one of which the colours of Protbeio and Wood were wrested from the assailants. In return for this, the Whig mob patrioti cally cracked the wiudows of the inhabitants in every street they passed throngh. They afterwarLls proceeded, armed with bludgeons, to the houses of some of the most wealthy inhabi tant; which they broke open, and commenced a work of destruction by breaking to pieces all the valuable furniture they could lay their hands on. Pianofortes were thrown into the street, beds ripped open, wines drank, &c., until property to a large auteunt was destroyed. The riot as sumed so serious a character that the civil power were unable to quell it; consequently, military aid was sent for, and a detachment of the lith Lancers arrived from D.,vsliary. 'rile cowardly ruffians were then dispersed, and the ringleaders taken into custody.
