.ESTIVIIIN STE Et ELECTION.
(THIS DAY.)
DECLARATION OF 'TtiE POLL.
The result of the poll for the Westminster election was
cffitlally declared from the hustings in Covent-garden this
afternoon. Sir John Shelley was the first candidate in at-
tendance,, and his reception was warm and enthusiastic. The
Hon. Baronet, who came alone_ on horseback wore a large
dark crimson rosette. Mr. Coningham arriVed_next, accoM7
Nulled, by several of his influential supporters, and was
greeted with partial applause. Sir De Lacy Evans, although
one of the successful candidates, seemed to be still unr popular with the multitude, and his appearance
upon the hustings wt's a signal for an an out-
burst of groans mingled with a few faint cheers from
some of his enthusiastic admirers, some of whom insisted
upon pressing forward and giving a vigorous shake of the
hand. Lord Maidstone was received with-unmistakable
sips of disapprobation, and directly he came upon the scene
behind the hustings the Noble Lord held an animated con-
versation which almost amounted to an angry altercation.
It was intimated that the declaration of the poll wonhi
take place at ( ne o'clock, but it was long past that hour be-
ford Mr: Smedley, the High. Bailiff, presented himself to the
electors. He announced the result of the poll to be as
follows :

Sir John Shelley ...
~. ... 4,199
Sir De Lacy Evans ... ...
-„3,756
Lord Maidstone ... ... ... ... 3,373
Mr. Coninghatn ... ... ... . 1,716
and he therefore declared that the election had fallen upon
Sir John Shelley and Sir De Lacy Evans.
Sir JOHN SHELLEY returned thanks for his election, but
he was too much exhausted to detain them with a lengthened
address.—(Hear, hear.) He locked upon the result of this
election as a glorious ,triumph for the cause of Free-trade arid
Reform.—(Cheers ) They had returned to Parliament an
English _gentleman and a practical farmer, who had through
good report and evil report supported the cause of Free-
trade, and he felt himself rewarded to-day for the course he
had hitherto followed.—(Hear, hear.) Farming, if it was
carried. on as a business, could be as successful as any other
commercial speculalion, and he trusted the result of till
general election that was now going on would set the
question of Protection at rest for ever.—(Cheers.)
He should go into Parliament determined radically to re-
form all abuses, and he should care not whence the measures
came, they should only have his support when they were
calculated to benefit the entire community.—(Cheers.)::

NEW LETTER RECEIVERS.—The practice of
erecting cast-iron pillars in the streets, and forming-letter
receiving boxes in them, as is the case in some parts on the
continent, is:all-out to be introduced into Jersey as „
periment, previous, -no doubt, to its introduction into"
England. The Post-office authorities in St. Martin's-le-
-Grand have ordered four cast-iron pillars, with letter-rew
caving places in them, to be erected in the !town of St.
Helier a, in Jersey.

BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY.
A. heau'lful engriving of a bust of Alison adorns
Bentley's
.111iscellany this Month, accompanied by 5
brief Memoir of Sir Archibald, whom, as the bio-
grapher happily remarks, " our Ministers have lately
honoured themselves by honouring." " Some notions
of the Ancients" is an amusing and interesting article.
The " Ballad of Sir John Franklin" possesses a
mournful charm; there is a simple eloquence about
some of the stanzas, but the execution is on the whole
not equal to the design. The criticism on Guizot',s

" Corneille and his l'imes" is very attractive. " A
Vi.sit to th Bloc and White Niles," from the Nete
York Weekly Tribune, "Summer Excursions through,
the Saltykarnmergut," a criticism on the Life
Alfred the Great, and several miscellaneous articles
complete thecontents of a very interesting number of
the Miscellany.

GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE and HISTO-

- -
BICAL REVIEW.
In the contents of this number there is an article
on Northern Mythology, concerning the popular tre"
ditions of Scandinavia, &c. Pope's imitation of the
letter of Abelard to Eloise is very entertaining, and
it is, doubtless, new to many readers as far as regards
the Latin letters. Toe first part of the life of Leib-
nitz conveys. much instruction, and possesses a great
deal of interest. All must be gratified to have
tearer insight afforded them of the character of s?,
distinguished a men. The "Ironmongers of London,
"The Oxford Colleges," &c., contain a great deal of
information,: for those desirous of improving their
knowledge on such subjects.
