CAMBRIDGESHIRE.
Three Members were elected for this county, at the
Coanty Court, Cambridge. There was no opposition,
and the audience was but a small one. The High She-
riff, W. C. Hamond, Esq., presided.

eminent talents of Mr. Yorke, announced
himself as a staunch Protectionist, and said that he did
not believe that the " epoch of the age" would ever
arrive which would justify the adoption of what was
called free trade by this country. He believed the con-
stitution of the world to be such—and that we had pro-
gressed into an artificial state, from which we could
never relieve ourselves—that we could never return to
what might be looked upon as a system of barter.
After some allusions to Sir James Graham, and his
having coquetted with so many constituencies, Mr. St.
Quintin alluded to the Hon. Baronet's late speech,
wherein he cl,clared he should endeavour to do his best
as an independent Member of Parliament, or in any
position to which his Sovereign might call him, and
said he trusted that her Majesty would never allow the
Netherby baronet to coquette with her Crown and dig-
nity. Mr. St. Quintin expressed his entire confidence in
the Earl of Derby, saying he had always expressed and
maintained the same opinions, both in and out of power;
and he had no doubt that when he found that heldieg

the would resign it. Mr. St.he latter no longer tended to the benefit of his country,
Quiatin concluded by pro-
posing the Hon. Eliot Thomas Yorke.
Mr. H. MARTIN, of Littleport, seconded the nomi-
nation. It was his unchanged conviction that the pre-
sent system of free trade, if persevered in, would inevi-
tably work the ruin of the tenant-farmers.
Mr. DOBEDE (Soham) proposed, and Mr. MARSHALL
(Elm), seconded the nomination of Lord George J°l2ll
Manners.
Mr. H. D. FYSON (Fordham) passed some high enco-
miums on the talent and energy with which Mr. Ball had
advocated protection to native industry, and concluded
by proposing that gentleman.

LIMERICK, WEDNESDAY NIGHT.—Threo Roman Ca-
thuile clergymen voted fur Mr. Russell. At half-past
six o'clock a violent mob suddenly attacked the Hulse
of 'lr. Firth, surgeon and apothecary, Charlotte's-quay,
completely demolishing the shop-front, shutters, win-
dows and sashes, and shop-fixtures. They flung the
brAten materials, boxes, with the medicine-chests,
drawers, and phials into the river opposite his holism.
The shop was thoroughly gutted of its contents. The
police on the quay directly opposite were spectators of
this work. Mr. Frith voted for Mr. William Russell.
Not a policeman interfered until the demolition was
completed, and the house left a miserable ruin. The
house of Mrs. Kenyon, Thomondgate, mother of the
Rev. John Kenyon, is dilapidated by the wreckers.
SEVEN O'CLOCK, r'.ar.—Tho Royal liorse Artillery and
infantry are again called out of barracks to patrol the
streets.
