EL. ECTIOX INTELLIGEA'CE.

BOSSY/MT.—The election is fixed for Mondsy next. CAndi-
dives, J. S. Worthy, jun. Esq. and E. H. Tunnoe, Esq. Henan
says, two other candidates areex..ected.

Vact.iwto rox.—Mr. Mackinnon and Mr. Baring will be re-
turned for this borough. It is said Mr. Dundee has resigned, and
Mr. Sergeant Ludlow comes forward in his stead.
Cartntt 1110 E, Honour AtTenwnow.—The influx of Mem-
bers of the University is already considerable, and every hour is
adding to their numbers. Many of the sone of Alma Mater, who
have been long absent, are now to be seen moving along the
halls, or wandering beneath the shade of her lofty groves. The
election will commence at nine o'clock to-morrow morning, in
the Senate House, which is a large and commodious Hall, having
galleries on each side, to which the public are admitted. The
Vice-Chancellor presides, and will appear in his full habits, being
a scarlet gown, edged with white fur, with a tippet to correspond.
At all former elections the practice has been for a Member to give
his vote by writing his name, and that of the gentleman for whom
be iatcnded voting, on a slip of paper, and putting the name into
one or other of the boxes placed for the purpose on the table at
which the Vice-Chancellor and the Proctors sit as scrutineers of

the votes- These boxes were never opened till the close of the
election, so that the only way in which a person could ascertain the
state of election during its progress, was by noticing which box
each voter put his slip of paper into, there being a particulwr box
appropriated to each candidate. Objections have been erode to
this mode of election, particularly. it is said, by Dr. French, the
Master of Jesus College. The subject has been considered by the
Vice-Chancellor, who detertnincd on aduping the poll-book in.'
stead, and to proceed as is done at all other elections. It is not
customary for the candidates to make any speeches, although they
are invariably present during the progress of the election; but as at
Oxford, recently, a breach of this taciturn rule has occurred, la is
possible the precedent may be followed at this place, and the more
especially, as the new method of taking the.votes, if foilowed,ns is
expected, by an announcement of the state of the poll each evening,
will almost impose the necessity upon the candidates of returning
thanks fur the suffrages obtained. The poll will be kept open till
10 o'clock. An adjournment for an hour will take place In the
middle of the day.
CAMELroun.—Tbe parties of the Earl of riedingttin and the
Marquis of Hertford are equat:y balanced in this Borough.

are still using by each candidate.and their respective friends as
confident. The friends of Mr. Trentayne, to the number of ,

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MONDAY, JUNE 12.,

The Loan Clime* it; ST rc E sat till half-past eleven this morn-
ing at Nisi Prins, and disposed of several undefended causes.
Their Lordships afterwards took their seats, and heard arguments
upon rules Nisi obtained for new trials.

ORECIORY r. FLEET.
This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is the proprietor
of a dissenting chapel at Brighton, to recover from the defendant,
the proprietor of the Brighton llcrahl newspaper, compensation
in damages for the injury his character bad sustained by the
publication of a gross and calumnious libel in that paper. The
libel in question wits contained in a letter. addressed by a Mr.
Hewlett to the Editor of the Brighton Herald, is which the writer
licensed the plaintiff of having given orders to two constables to
turn him (Hewlett) out of the chapel, when he presented himself
to take a seat. In making public the statement of facts therein
contained, the writer declared that his only object was to vindicate
his character from the imputation which such _conduct. on the part
of the plaintiff was calculated to affix upon his reputation. In the
same newspaper was contained a supposed defence of the plaintiff's
proceeding?, in exercising the right of excluding what persons he
pleased from his own private chapel, which had not then been
consecrated to public worship. The article contained a fulsome
culogium on the plaintiff's piety, and zeal for the welfare of his
townsmen. This eulogium was charged by the plaintiff to he satiri-
cal and ironical, and therefore libellous. The action was tried before
Mr. Baron Graham, at the late assizes at Horatian), and a verdict
found for the defendant.
On a former day Mr. Gurney obtained a rule Nisi for a new trial.
Mr. 3IARRYATT this day &hewed cause against the rule, and
was proceeding in his arguments, when
The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE suggested that the best course to
be (ilated by the parties would be, to agree to a Oft imams.
lifr. GURNEY and Mr. 111•111TATT both acquiesced in this
1
suggestion.
The rule was therefore discharged.

ford, was convicted at the last assizes for Bedford of a riot and am.
sault. Be was now brought up to receive the judgment of the

Mr. Hicks was passing through Fryer-street on Tuesday right,
about half-past ten o'clock, on his way home, with his wife a tew

knocked down. One of the women was the defendant's wife, and

dered to find bail.

After which a fanner named Miller,who arrived hi town onWed-
nertlay, and received 100 sovereigns at the Bank, stated that on his
return into the Borough, while gaging in a shop-window in High-
street, he was accosted by a genteelly dressed youeg man, requesting
to know the hour. The farmer told him, and the young man then
asked the state of the crups, &c., and afterwards requested the fa-
vour of his company to take a glass of wine. They retired to a
tavern close at hand, sod had two bottles of wine. Mr. Miller hr.

A Court of N'enire was held at the Guildhall, Hull,

brought by the pwners of the Friends, of Dover, against the pro-
prietors of the Frankfort, of Bun, to recover damages for an
Injury sustained by the former vessel, when the Frankfort, from
being, as it was alleged, insufficiently moored. broke from her
moorings, and struck against the Friends. The accident took place
at the eitrance of Hull harbour, during one of the severe gales last
winter. A number of witnesses were examintd on both sides;
and the Jury ultimately gave A verdict for the defendants.

A child named Turmaine, whose parents reside in St.
Dunstan's, Canterbury, about...ix:col weeks ago was bitten by a
dog, supposed to be in a rabid state, from the animal having seized
one or two other persons. Little notice, however, was taken,
further than dressing the wounded parts; but symptoms of hydro.
phobia made their appearance a few days since, and the little suf.
terer, after exhibiting all the symptoms attendant upon the disease,
died on Sunday last, in excruciating agony.

filly Elizabeth will also run, but in matches' only. From the uncertainty
of the past week's running, and the still deep engagements of the farom.
Ices, the book-makers will have occasion for all their Ingenuity to keep
their accounts right.
The subscribers mustered to-day In great numbers, and the betting we,
both heavy sad Important. The speculations on the Derby were print!.

at about 9 to 2, at which odds he was backed to some amount. The Me-.
lea's friends then rallied, and brought their horse to evens with the othei
and two or three large RUMS were staked between them; but Mona:ra
speedily resumed his vantage ground, and settled at 4 to I, inure than
which could not be got at the close of the room.
A good deal of business we done in the Oaks, and the changes are to.

when she suddenly dropped to 4 to I and 9 to 2, a fraction between th,.
two being the current quotation. Problem was third favourite for sone

EQUITABLE LOAN BANK COMPANE

Yesterday an adjourned Meeting of the Shareholders of this
Company was held at the City of London Tavern, which was
numerously attended. Mr. Vigor,, the Chairman of the former
Meeting. was called to the Chair. He said he had corwultcd
Messrs. Freeman and Heathcote, the solicitors, who caused the fol-
lowing circular to be sent to each I lirector :
" EQUITABLE LOAN RANK COMPANY.
"Coleman-street, April 13, 1826.
"S t It.•--1n consequence of the Resolution adopted at a Meeting
of Shareholders in this Company, held on the 6th instant, at the
City of London Tavern, we take the liberty, on behalf and at the
request of several Shareholders of respectability, of inviting your
attendance at the Meeting convened for the 20th instant, at twelve
o'clock precisely, at the City of London Tavern, it being the wish
of nor friends to receive information which we presume you cannot
ob;..ct to afliwd, particularly when we assure you, our only object is
to terminate this unfortunate concern in a manner that may cause
no hostility, or create even an unpleasant feeling, in any party.
'Die Meeting on the 6th instant, at which the foregoing resolu-
tion was passed, was not convened by us, nor by any of our friends,
nor do we know by whom it was convened ; it was, however, at.
tended by several friends for whom we act, and we must observe,
the mode of proceeding has certainly not only their, but out ap-
proval. We are, Sir, your very obedient humble servants,
' FREEMAN and lIEATHCOTE."
lie next had to direct the attention of the Meeting to a letter from
31r. John Hinde, chief clerk, which he then read

STATE OF TRADE.

[From the Paisicy Adt•ertiger.l
The state of trade in this town, we regret to say. as yet holds
forth no cause for gratulation. The fund allotted for cases of ex-
treme necessity is exhausted, while the numbers of the destitute
contir,ue as appalling as ever. It is cheering to observe the spirit
with which the public subscriptions are proceeding. The country
list already amounts to 1,393/. 125.; only a part of those from the
town has yet reached us, but we have reason to believe that they
evince a disposition equally liberal. The wetness of the weather is
peculiarly unfavourable at present to all who seek or find out-door
employment, and bears particularly hard upon those accustomed to
the sedentary labours of a manufacturing district.
We arc sorry to announce that trade still continues in a very
languishing condition, and that the prospect of any immediate im-
provement in the India imitation line, which is our principal
branch, is faint indeed.

There is a little stir in the silk manufacture, and several houses
have engaged a few of their unemployed hands ; a few weavers have
likewise been engaged for striped and shaded gown-pieces, which,
from the taste displayed in the admirable combination of the diffe.
rent colours, form a most beautiful article. Plain work is conside-
rably duller.
Upon the whole, it is believed that the number of the unem-
ployed is upon the increase ; and, under these circumstances, it
will require every exertion to be made to mitigate, even partially,
the distress which day after day is making deeper inroads upon the
comforts of the working classes. _ . _

Our venerable and respected townsman, 3lr. John Love, having,
with characteristic goodness of heart, applied to his friends, Messrs.
Cragg and John 31air, both natives of Paisley, resident in
London, in behalf of the suffering operatives here, these gentlemen
have, in the most handsome and generous manner, contributed—
the former fifty pounds, and the latter twenty guineas—.to the
fund raising for their relief.—Glusgow Courier.

THE BRITISH PRESS.

Slate. can estimate the pmbahility of their giving it, only by thcright
which :my foreign State could have, to take it from 'heir measures.
Nee her the representation of the United States at Panama, nor any
measure to which their assent may be yielded there, will give to the
Holy beague, or any of its metnhers, nor to Spain, the right to
take offence. For the rest, the United States must still, as here-
tofore, take counsel from their duties, rather than their fears.
Such are the objects in which it is expected that the Plenipotee-
tiaries of the United States, when commissioned to attend the meet.
ing at the Isthmus, will take part ; and such are the motives and
purpoites, with which the invitation of the three Republics was ac-
cepted. It was, however, as the House wilt perceive fmni the cor-
respondence, accepted only upon condition that the nomination of
Commissioners for the mission, should receive the advice and con-
sent of the Senate. The concurrence of the (louse to the
by the appropriations necessary for carrying it into effect, is alike
subject to its free determination, and indispensable to the fulfilment
of the intention.

With this unrestricted exposition of the motives by which I
have been governed, in this transaction, as well as of the objects to
be discussed, and of the ends, if possible. to be attained by our re-
presentation at the proposed Congress. I submit the propriety of
an appropriation, to the candid consideration, and enlightened
patriotism of the Legislature.

The following are extracts from the Calcutta Gazgh. of
December 29 :
EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED IIEAD•QPARTZRS, 1:1111:1„.
PORE, DEC. 15, 1825.
" Vakeele have come to head.quarters almost daily, but now
is prohibited. There seems little doubt of the enemy makkg
determined resistance. The place la certainly very strong by
lure, independently of all artificial aid ; but our immense mini el
artillery (now all arrived) must soon reduce it. We have not yet
broken ground, but expect to do so in four or five days. The re.
connoitring has been very active, this morning particularly, whet,
the enemy were far more angry than they have as yet been. w,
lost three Sepoys. Had they been more enterprising, they mien
h,ve done much more. We have not lost ten men alorrethey.
We have done little execution among them since the Srat day,
when a party were surprised by Skinner's horse and some of 'hi
16th 1.a.-,cere. Two young Rajahs fell, said to be sons oy ;I"
Usurper ; they behaved very bravely indeed. Lord Combermere Is in very high feather, very active. The cold is intense early in
the morning. Captain Forbes is recovering fast from his unlucky
accident, which was owing to a spent shot falling near his hom,
and making him start very suddenly, by which Forbes was
thrown against a tree. The deprivation of his services is a great lova.
" RANnoosr.—Six officers of the Siamese Army of Co-opera,
thin had arrived at Martabim, with letters from the Talien General
!town Rown, announcing his approach with a force consisting of
10,000 men. These are understood to be all Tabery, emigrants
from Pegu, who had been driven by Burmese oppression to settle
in Siam. The Martaban Zcmindara regard them as brothers, and
are ready to co-operate with them against the Burmese. The Row,k
Rown had sent many confidential messages through the Zemin..
data, evincing a great desire to settie again in his native country;
and he has with him some of the descendants of the old Peru
dynasty. The whole body of Talien emigrants in Siam, computed
at 100,000, it is said, would gladly embrace the opportunity of re-
establishing themselves in their native land ; while the Siamese Go.
vernment, it is believed, would not be averse to see the kingdom of
Pegu under a friendly power, instead of reverting to their inveterate
enemies, the Burmese.

one of them has been assailed with a volley of stones, in conse.
queace of which the vehicle was materially damaged, and, we are
sorry to add, several manufacturers are seriously injured.
TEN OTI.OOK.—The Riot Act has been read in the market.
place, and nen parties of soldiers are out in Darwen-street and
Nortligate. After the attack on the coach, the assembled multi.
tulle did not manifest any further symptoms of insubordination. and
began quietly to disperse ; and at this hour the streets are become
pretty clear.
(SECOND EDITION.)
WEDNESDAY, WOO sr.—The soldiers returned from Accrington
this morning. u little after eight o'clock. When they reached that
place, they found a considerable number of persons assembled.
who, we arc happy to say, were quite peaceable, and non after their
arrival they gradually dispersed, without any further disturbance
having taken place. It appears that the windows of that part of
Mr. Sykes's factory where the power-looms stand are completely
demolished, hut we believe no damage was done to the machinery.
An attack was also made upon the house of 31r. Lancaster, and eon.
siderablc injury dune to the windows ; but we are happy to say that
it does not appear any lives were lost, or that any one has received
I personal harm.
This morning, a man, of the name of T. Bury, was fully corn.
mined to the Preston House of Correction, to take his trial at the
next Sessions, charged with being a ringleader in the attack on the
coach. &c. Ile was apprehended immediately after the attack,
and taken into the Duke of York public-house, from whence be
was rescued by the mob; hut 31r. Kay. having received a desetip.
don of him. he retook him about three o clock this morning, in bed:

Mr. HUMS; presented a petition from the ramters' Society Of
the Eastern Divison of ForGirshire, praying the (louse not to maKe
any alteration in the currency of Scotland.
Mr. J. P. GRANT presented a petition to the same effect from
• Dung., in Scotland, and said that a petition had been presented to
the House from the same pla:e, praying for the :duration. The
petitioners, however, denied that they knew anything of such a pe-
tition having been adopted.
Mr. HUSK ISSON was understood to say that he presented the
petition in favour of an alteration, and if he was correctly informed,
a letter had been despatched from London advising the getting up
of a counter-petition.
Sir J. WROTTESLEY said, that there had been but one re.
tition presented in favour of an alteration, and that was from
Dunce. (A laugh.)
Mr. HUSK ISSON begged to disclaim all connexion with the
place in question. (Great laughter.)
The several petitions were then referred to the Committee as
the measure. _ _

Sir R. SHAW.I;, presented a petition from the Lord Mayur,
Aldermen, and Common Council of the City of Dublin, agsinst
any further concession to the Roman Catholics.—Ordered to be
printed.
LICENSING SYSTEM.
r. ESTCOURT moved the first reading of the Rill for regu-
lating the licensing of public.hotisca, and aimed the object of it to
be. to continue the present system for one year longer.
Mr. W. M. MA DER LY hoped that a clause would be intro-
duced. enabling the puldican, should he by illness he prevented
from attending, to appoint a person in his stead to attend on the
licensing day. He knew an instance in which a person, not hay.
log been enabled to attend. hid lost his license ; the consequence
of which was, that hie creditors came upon him, and he was thrown
into prison and ruined. Unless some such clause was introduced,
he should oppose the Bill.
The second reading was then fixed for the 33 of 31 ay.

ELECTIVE FRANCHISE.
Mr. SYKES brought up the Bill, declaring that the freeholders
of certain town counties were entitled to vote at the election for
Knights of the Shire; which was read a first time, and ordered to
