COUNTY ELECTION,

The election for the county will be inevitably a severe contest ;
and it is rentnrkaliht that the county has never been en agitated by
an election since the yesr 1734. A severe contest then to.* place
between the ancestors of the present Slr. Dashwnhd and of Sir
firegory Page Turner. Fine Members were returned to ParliA.
merit. and afterwards the ratio; went to a committee, when both
sides, as they say, were rittned. Tne election talcs place on Ptiday
next, snd the three candidates. Mr. Feet., Mr. Ashurat, tool Mr.
Stratum, ate OM with their ae.herenia still canvassing. If I may
he allowed to form an imp, t :in' opinion, divined from heating all
sides, I think that 31e. Pane and 11 r. Ashurst will be returned.
The sobscription raised for the latter !gentleman, to the amount of
7,00'1., is necessarily caletillted to damp the feelings of the Sirnttoo
potty tot I understand 31r. Stratton has heen recently left a large
fortune, and is determined to stick to the contest until the list.
Therefore, ' there never was such times" in Cuts seat of learning.

LEICESTER CLECTIO.V.

WEDNESDAY. JUNE 14.
The polling commenced this morning, at half-past nine o'clock,
and closed at a quarter before five.
Tice Canditlgnes then returned thanks to their friends.
3lr. Ewawavexpressed himself well satisfied with the numbers an
his flavour, considering the singular circumstances of the poll. lie
noticed to the electors, that floin first to last he protested, and still
would protest, against the unconstitutional and illegal mode of
voting by ywns and in mtat'on, as prescribed and decided bL the
Returning Officer. lle insisted that no such arrangcntrnt conkl
legally be forced upon him, unless a connecting party, which tar
was not, at•tl never would be. Ile ',Cloned the voters to anite up
in the old English and constitutional mode, in that ancient mat.uar
they were wont to do. when and as they chose to go to the Misting..
'in the honest and voluntu-r spirit of Migli.th elcc!ort, lie atateil
that he should have headed the poll but for sonic doubtful notes.
which a phalanx of tan-ga•herers, me-collectors, parish facets,
And Corpora' ion agents, had successfully disputed, hut took espe-
cial care to give lain no information that would reduce the pill of
the Corpora ion Candidates. Still he doubted not but that the
eventual success of his cause sip. certain.

On the Einilidates and their friends proceeding to their seiernl
cointnitte....roorns, the. immense crowd assembled commenced an
attack to, the outward barriestioes of the hustings, and' on the peas
set Apart for 3lr. Evans and Mr Denman, in order, it is supposed,,
to give free access to those Gentlemen's friends. The Jame of
eons:able.. engaged with the mob, to prevent their intentions being
carried into effect, when, after a desperate engsgen:ent, the.etwil
nuthorities were driven front the defence of the hustings, which
were par:ialfy destroyed, as far as the pros in the Purple interest.
The Mayor, Recorder. and Corporation marched out from the kw_
change to quell the riot, but were soon driven hack, amidst volleys
of stones torn up from the pavement. Conhtablos' btaves, and em-
blems of oflice, changed Iguals iu numbers, and we are sorry to
say that some severe contusions and wounds wcre inflicted. This
Riot Act wet. said to have been read.

la the early pttrt of the poll a placard was exhibited et the bust

tumult interrup:A the poll, and the offensive placard was mama(
off by the Remo Mug Officer, amidst hooting. and yells. TWO,

WORCESTEn ELECTION.

(By Express which arrired late last night.)
WoncEs.rEn.—The spirit of electioneering is curried to an al-
mo.t incredible height in the city, which exhibits as severe a con-
test as ever excited ',Arty faction. Although this is only the fifth
dav's poll, there are already more votes polled than on any former
utesvion within the same period ; and there still remains nest eight
hunered decors who have not as yet given their votes. The par-
funs of Colonel Davies had, during the whole of the morning,
kept possession of the approach to the hustings; and at three o'clock
the nortiluvs ►tool thus:—

liobi 272 I Davies 188 I Griffiths 188
This utmouncernent acted like an electric shock on Mr. Griffitiee
ilietods ; one situultanecus rush of theirs brought his noters to the
hustings, and at the close of the poll, at font o'clock, the gross
amount of the votes were—

Robinson 12381 Davies 10241 Griffiths 800
Leaving. on the day's poll, a conside•able majority in favour of
.Ir. Griffiths. A curious scene took place upon this announcement,
which is difficult to determine whether the Gallant Colonel meant
to be considered as a ruse de parre, or a specimen of his modesty ;
he vviposeil that as in his opinion his opponent had to chance of
success, that Mr. Griffiths should inspect the canvass•books, and
express his resolution of retiring. Mr. G. mentioned this fact in
his address to the electors, at the same time expreesing his deter-
mination of standing firm to his post, while there remained a single
vote unpolled. This assurance was received with great cheers ;
indeed, the steady adherence of the Worthy Candidate. his manly
facing of his opponents without any previous canvass or influence,
and his courageous struggling with the many disadvantages with
which he had in his onset to contend, have. in the opinion of his
friends, ensured his election. The knowing one assign some •L pri.
Tate reason" of the gallant Colonel, in giving the disinterested ad.
vice Ile offered to Mr. Griffiths.

An intelligent writer at the Shalt, states that the harvest
there commenced last week, and that the °blest inhabitants
in the place never before saw oats cut in the month of
July in the immediate vicinity of the Shotta Church.
Throughout the parish the oats are stunted in growth, but
there are respectable fields on every farm, and a field of
or 13 acres, belonging to Mr. iVeir, is considered the best
between Edinburgh and Glasgow. The potato crops in
that district have improved considerably by the late rains.
Bayern N.—The harvtst is speedily drawing to a con-
clusion In our neighbourhood, and some of the farmers
have made trial of an experiment to raise a second crop.
Oats were sown in the latter end of last week ; and should
the season continue at all favourable, they are expected to
Lein reaping condition by the latter end of October.

SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING THE ENLARGEMENT

AND BC:LIM:VG rIP C111:11C1tES.
A monthly Meeting of the Society for Promoting the Enlarge-
ment and Building of Churches and Chapels was held yesterday,
at their Chanibers. No. 2, Parliament-street. There were present
his Grace the Archbishop of York. in the Chair ; the Bishops
of London, Lincoln, Litchlidd and Coventry, Exeter, and Chester ;
Lord Kenyon, Mr. Justice Perk, the Dean of Carlisle, the Arch-
deacons of St. Alpan•s and 3liddlesex, and a large number of the
Members of the Committee. . . .

Grants of various sums were made to nine applications, and in
many cases where the work had been completed the aunts voted
were paid.
Notwithstanding the exertion which was made by the Committee
of this Society during the last year, to recruit its finances, we are
sorry to find that the result has been far less than could have been
calculated upon, when the magnitude of the work and the im.
pnrtanee of the objects in which this Siiciety are engaged are
considered. Applications for aid continue to be received from very
interesting and important districts, and we hear that the funds are
again bringing to a close.

hollow of becoming one of your Representatives.
Unconnected with any Party, unfettered by any promise, the
principles in which I have bsen brought up would lead ire to
give my firm and consci,titious support to that line of conduct
which has been generally pursued by the present Administra ion ;
and whilst I disclaim all intolerance in relLious matters. my at.
taeliment to one excellent Constitution. as at present established in
Church and State, would instruct iiie to guard against the ad-
mission of those in political power, who commit but look with
Jealousy on the ascendancy of a rev:l Church Establishment.
Should I be fortunate enou;;h to be placed in the honourable
situation to which I maples. it will he my endeavour, by an assi-
duous discharge of the duties attendant on it, to evince my grati-
tude, and the interrst 1 must always take in the prosperity of see
opulent and important a portion of my native County.
Whenever a proper time may arrive, 1 shall hasten to apply

COUNTY COURTS.

Mr. WYVILb presented a Pe:ition from the Merchants, Bank-
ers, and Traders of the City of York, praying the House to adopt
measures for the more speedy recovery of small debts.
Mr. 110111IOUSE begged to ask the :Cottle Lord (Althorp)
whether it was his intention to bring forward any measure during
the present Session on the subject.
Lord ALTHORP said that it was not his intention to bring
farward any measure connected with the subject of the recovery of
small debts. It was not from any alteration of opinion that he was
led to the determinatinn,-but front feeling that it was impossible for
any Individual Member to carry it. For two years the measure had
passed that House almost unanimously, and yet it had been rejected
in the other. The Hun. Member said that he was sorry that the
Right lion. (lent. the Secretary of State for the Home Department
was not in his place. because he should have pressed upon him the
duty of his Majesty's Government taking tip the
i measure, as it
would be recollected that they had given it their supportn that
House. lle trusted, however, that after what had been said they
would not allow a measure of such importance to escape their at-
tention.
The Petition was then brought up, and ordered to be printed.

CORN

Mr. HOBHOUSE preiented a Petition from certain inhabitants
of Westminster, praying for a Commission to be appointed for the
equalizing the price of corn., Toe Hon. Member said that he did

the Petition.
The Petition was then brought up, and ordered to be printed.

MR..KEN.I!ICF.

DENISON presented a petition from Wm. Keswick. The
petition restated the circumstance% which had been lately investi-
gated by the House, and concluded by infir.ming the House that
since the examination of the witnesses, the petitioner had found
=tear which had been written by Mr. Peters. in answer to one
ed by the petitioner to him. and which the petitioner's
Counsel had stated to be lost. The letter was then read; it stated
that Mr. Peters had no recollection of the circumstance to which
the affidavit enclosed by Mr. Kenrick alluded ; that he had no re.
collection of granting a warrant to search Franks's house, and if the
ailklasit was required only on that ground it could not be of any
use t and that the real thief was afterwards discovered.
Mr. ABE RC ROM HY remarked that there was no prayer to the
petition, and therefore it could not be remised.
The SPEAKER said the House would be anxious to give the
petitioner every latitude; but as lie had had the opportunity of being
beard at the bar of the House personally, or by his Counsel and

great that in less than an hour it was reported at 791.
Censela afterwards receded to 78, but they very shortly got
• back to 79 91. It is impossible to describe the confusion
that bas prevailed all day in the English Stock Market,
particular:y at its commencement and close. At the latter
period it was difficult to get a quotation ; Consols, however,

I stmounce the failure of a much respected bill-broker's
establishment. We understand that it has been caused by
a bill &flare out of the Stock Exchange, and that their ac-
count with brokers in the house will be satisfactorily ar-
ranged. That at least was the report this morning.
The Foreign Market did not evince the tame disposition
to rise as the English; and one reason that was assigned
for this was, the report of a South American house being
under embarrassments. Still there is a considerable im-
provement in the South Asuerican Stocks. Colmnibian,

TO THE EDITOR of' THE BRITISH PRESS.

Si a,—The method to be adopted to prevent the issuing
of any more one and two pound kcal notes is, it seems, by
an order to prohibit the issuing of any more rtamps from
the Stamp-office. But a question naturally occurs, Will
this prevent such notes being issued trillwed atamps9
Sill It base any other dice% than a repeal, pro fantu, of
the Stamp Act? It would he a curious result if the pro-
posed order thotill have no other effect than to take off the
resent stamp duty upon country bank motes. But I pre-
sume those concerned will provide fur this.

aid that fevers have shown themselves chiefly among those
who have been engaged in agricultural labours, and they are at.
tributed to the drinking brackish water, which, since the floods is
February, 1824, has spoiled the springs. If the accounts we have
received me correct. 270 persons have been carried off by thaw
fevers, from the 7th July to 7th August. The Government, it is

others declared Convalescent from the commencement of the Mania, with their Projectors, Capital required, number of Shares, and
other p trticulats ; the result has proved the undertaking Impossible, from the obscurity in which many are involved, and the ephemeral
duration of others. The first of the following Tables of thou which appeared at the commencement and during the heat of the Pro.
