the Gallant Candidate. Ile had seen a report of a
speech of the lion. Baronet, in which the Hon, Da.
ronet was made to say that a certain Minister hid
offered to buy him (Mr. W. D. Harvey).—Now he
begged to know who that Minister was that wished
to buy him, what piece he was to have had, and
what price was to have been paid for him. After
alluding to the circtunstatice of his applieetion to be
called to the bar having been refused, the Hon.
Gentleman said he knew that Mr. Harrison, the
King's Counsel, when one day at the Treasury, had
said to a certain Minister who asked Mr. Harrison
what objection there was to his (Mr. Harvey's)
being called to the bar, " Why there is no solid
objection to him; and if you wish it in this place,
he may be called to-morrow." It had been said
that he had instigated Mr. Wellteiley to the present
contest. That was not true. Mr. Wellesley bad
applied to him, as every man who wanted his ser-
vices must. It was true that he was the paid agent
of Mr. Wellesley, but be would have given
Mr. Wellesley no 11111i11.0111C0 if that gentleman's
sentiments had not coincided with his on
all great political questions. One subject he
wished particularly to notice. In one of the
hand-bills sent about respecting the pensions and

it was stated that an uncle of Mr. Wellesley
enjoyed church preferment to the amount of 3,0001.

had no hesitation in saying that this was scandalous ;
but, let him risk, would the parsons, who ran about
last Monday getting votes for Colonel Tyrell, instead
of preaching sermons, instinct the gullant Colonel
to vote against pluralities when that qeestioe Was
brought before the House of Commons? Would
they put ally thing more into the poor-box of the gal-
lant Colonel should he so vote ?
Sir lI.•SMYTEI said, if they would go into any of
the specking shops in London, they would find fifty
as good as Mr. Harvey. At the time of the French
revolution be happened to be in that country, and
heard many such gentlemen talk gallantly enough
,one day, but the next day they made their exit by
the guillotine, which was the best way of disposing
of them. As to the question put to hintlrMe

Mr. BENNET said that Mr. Harvey had introduced
it matter which had nothing to do with the election.

own character ought to be pure. Was Mr. Harvey's
so? Ho thought not ; for when Mr. Harvey ap-
pealed to the Twelve for,
respecting the
Renegers refusal to call him to the bar, Lord Ten-
terden said," We have duly weighed and conkidered
the allegations against you, with your explanations
and the arguments of your Counsel, and m answer
to your application, the Twelve Judges are unani-
mously of opinion, that the Benchers, in rejecting
you, have .cansulted the interest of the public and
tne honour of the bar."

Mr.Attvitv in answer to that repeated the
challenge he had mode on a former eight.—namely,
to submit the whole of that affair, and of every
other affair of his life, to the judgment of any
twelve gentlemen among the blues ; and he would
now add, that Mr. Bennet might he their foreman.
Th►e Judges refused to examine witnesses, and their
decision, therefore, was not worth much. These
same Judges were clever persons truly ; for when
he applied to them to be restored to the rolls, they
were unanimously of opinion that he was a very
proper person to be re-admitted as an attorney. Now
an attorney was a much mere and re-
sponsible person than a barrister,
After a few words from Mr. CONYERS and Mr.
11,tavuv, the Sheriff adjourned the Court.

MALIN, Auo, 17.

Mtvrit...The election closed 'yesterday by the
return of Lord Killeen and Sir MarctitSumerville.
have already prepared you for this result, by
noticing the suspicions prevalent regarding, the con.
duet of Mr. Lawless. Early yesterday morning the
town of Trim was crowded by the peasantry from
all parts of the county, and the rumour that " the
pass was aold", soon spread. amongst them. As no
one appeared to contradict it the report gained ism
plicit credence, and the enraged feelings of the people
were soon manifested by the most bitter exclamations
against their late especial favourite. About ten
o'clock Mr. Shell arrived, and was met by a number
of respectable freeholders, who strongly urged him to
Iconic forward as a e indidate, promising at the same
time that his return might be considered certain. Mr.
Shell, however, peremptorily refused to interfere,
under the circumstances, with the election politics of

the county: He then proceeded to the house in
which Mr. Lawless resided. The street before it
was at the time tilled by an immense multitude, who
insisted that Mr. Lawless should contest the election.
On entering the room where Mr. Lawless and a few
of his friends were in deliberation, Mr. Shed found
them undecided as to the course they should adopt.
The same offer was repeated to Mr. Sheil, but he
again declined to interfere. No preparations up.
peered to have been made—no agents were employed
—no poll-books were in readiness—in fact, nothing
was done which could indicate a determination on
the p►►rt of Mr. Lawless to enter on a contest. At
eleven o'clock the High Sheriff arrived, and the
Court-house wits thrown open. The rush was
tremendous, Lord Killeen and Sir Marcus Somer.
vile were accompanied by the principal gentry of
the county. Lord Clifton also aoienred on the
hustings. Mr. Lawless and Mr. Sheil occupied
very conspicuous - situations in the Court. The
Hon. Mr; Preston proposed Sir Marcus Somer-
ville, and was seconded by Mr. Winter, who
strongly inveighed against the intrusion of a stranger
in the county, and stated that the gentry were
determined to resist the attempt. Sir H. Mere-
dith proposed Lord Killeen, who► as well as Sir
Marcus, was obliged to pledge himself to support
reform and retrenchment, and to oppose the Sub-
letting Act and Vestry Bill. Mr. Lawless was then
proposed by Mr. Boylan, told seconded by a free-
holder named barnahy Ford. Mr. Lawless spoke
at great length. He said that his great object had
been accomplished by obliging the two other candi-
dates to make the pledges they had made; but he
did not say whether he would persevere with a
contest. Lord Clifton called upon Mr. Lawless to
give a decided answer to the question whether he
should enter on a .contest ? If be replied in the
allirmetive, he (Lord Clifton) would most certainly
enter on the lista, in order to protect the county
from the intrusion of a stranger. Mr. Lawless re-
quested a short time for consideration. In about
half an hour he arose, and declared that he would
not stand. It would be impossible to describe the
scene of uproar which the Court now presented—
the people uttering shouts of execration against
Mi% Lawless. In the midst of the turbulence, the

Sheriff declared Lord Killeen and Sir Marcus

Suinervide duly elected. A peasant rushed. into the
street, where upwards of 20,000 persona were as.
Bumbled, and loudly exclaimed that " Lawlet,s had
~ betrayed them.!' Many persons cried out that he
bad received 2,000/. for resigning.—(This I believe
to be untrue.)—ln order to avoid the popular fury,
Mr. Lawless dew to his residence. The people,
Whore indignation was unbounded, followed, and
threatened to tear him limb from limb. Mr. Shell
Went amongst the crowd and endeavoured to op-
pease them, but in vain. They burst open the door,
in order to drug him out; but ts large body of police
and military happily arrived at the instant, and
rushed into the house, from which they compelled
the people to retire. A carriage was procured, into
which Mr. Lawless was conveyell,and, under escort
of a troop of dragoons, he took his deperture from
the ecene of his expected glory. Thus ended the
mucintalked-of Meath election.

county of Monaghan has been marked by scenes of
the most furious °ramp. The candidates are Mr.
Weetennoron of Lord- itossmore, Mr. Sleety, son
of Lord Showy, and Mr. Shirley; an English gen-
tleman of very large poseessions in the cowry, but
who, until the last five or six years; was a stranger
to Ireland. Westerns is , the favourite candidate,
Red the contest lies between him and Shirley, :The
tenantry of the latter have been severely beaten by
the populace, and the hustings continue to be one
scene of uproar. The numbers on Friday were—
Blaney, 3.55; Shirley, 272 ; Westenre, 207 ; Lewis,
44. On Saturday, NVestenra had overtaken

the latter and Blaney having been " blown up."

will have it so, and they are followed bye large por-
tion of the Down squirarchy. Mr. Waring ap-
pealed to France, and was as eloquent on the des-
po►ism of Charles 'X. as upon that of the Duke of
Wellington. His Grace, he said, must take warn-
ing of the awful example which a free and spirited
people made of the French tyrant. The drift, in-
deed, of the opposition, whether proceeding from a
Catholic or a Protestant county, as Down is, does
not appear, generally speaking, to what may be
called county politics, as hostility to Administra-
tion—an hostility altogether created by the taxing
measures attempted in the last Sesston by Mr.
Goulburn.

CITY OP LONDONDERRY.—The election, as I be-
lieve I mentioned to you before, terminated on
Saturday, and on Monday Sir 11. Fergusson was
declared duly elected. Captain Hart, a son of the
member for Donegal, and President of the Appren.

poration of Derry. He petitions, and sanguine ex-
pectations are entertained of his success.
COUNTY OP KnitnY.—The slate of the poll on
the first day of the election (14th instant) was as
follows :

Browne 112
Fitzgerald 107
Croshie B7
Bateman
There are 100 objections against the votes of the
Knight of Kerry and Mr. Browne.
COUNTY OF 'fII3PERARY.—There are certain per-
sons in this county still determined to put Mr.
Wyse in nomination, but I imagine it wilt end in
nothing.
COUNTY OP LEITRIM. —This has been one of the
most violently contested' counties in the kingdom.
Lord Clements and Mr. S. White, the late Mem-
bers, have been placed in a state of personal colli-
hint', in consequence, it is said, of the former hay-
irtg coalesced with his relative Colonel Clements,
the third candidate. It was, it is said, to the exer-
tions of 'Mr. White's family that Colonel Clements
was indebted for his seat the lust time. Harsh
orris occurred between the parties, and hostile
meetings were appointed, but the Magistrates inter-
fered. The matter, however, will not be allowed
to rest here. On Saturday the numbers were, for
Colonel Clements, 527 ; Mr. S. White. 412; Lord
Clements, 405. -I have not received the report of
the poll yesterday, but it is said Colonel Wh►te was
only tine() a-head, and there were only 12 electors
to be polled.
COUNTY Or GALITAY.—The election is going on
with great spirit, and, I am afraid, with bad temper.
On Saturday the numbers were, for Lambert, 53;
Duly, 38; Burke, 35. The two latter refused to
make any pledges, but Lambert pledged himself
against the Duke and all his works.

1 mentioned in a short paragraph yesterday, that
there wise some desperate rioting in a place called
Muff, in the county of Cavan, and that some lives
were lust. The following extract of a letter from
Carrickmacioss will acquaint you with the particu.
tars :--

" Carrickmacross, Aug. 16.

" On Thursday last, at the fair of Muff, a small village
in the county of Cavan, a desperate riot occurred : all had
gone on peaceably till a late hour, when a party of Orange-
men, who had assembled to hold a lodge, sallied forth, and
having committed some assaults, were driven by the popu-
lace to their lodge•room, where they had arms and ammu-
nition, from thence they fired upon the people, and the
result was, that two fell dead upon the spot, and several
others were severely wounded. The scene which ensued
was beyond all description frightful ; the houses of the
Orangemen were set fire to, and the inhabitants of the
town were to he seen flying in all directions. The account
of the transaction was rapidly spread through the country;
and it was reported on the following morning that the
Orangemen were assembling from all quarters, and were
actually encamped in the neighbourhood. The Catholics
mustered in great force, armed with all kinds of weapons:
it is said to the number of 40,000 ; the road was covered
by them fur the distan►e of three miles. They were ad-
dressed by a Roman Catholic clergyman, and several others,
who convinced them that the report was false, and pre-
vailed upon them to disperse, and go to their different homes."

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From Galignanes Messenger of Tuesday, Aug. I%)
The Courricr Fruncaic says--" For some days
past, agents of discord have endeavoured to stir up
the working classes. Provocation, and even money,
has been offered to excite them to commit excesses.
They have been told that, by breaking the machi-
nery,—that is to say, by destroying the► manufacto-
ries, and obliging them to be shot up,—they would
create employment for themselves, and be enabled
to live in abundance. Meetings have been held at
several points, but hitherto the good sense of the
population has rejected perfidious suggestions, and
the workmen have wisely abstained from the ex-
ceases to which they have been instigated. The
love of order, of which they have given such admi.
ruble proofs, will triumph over the efforts made to
mislead them,"
The following letter, dated August 11, has been
addressed to the President of the Chamber of Peers
by the Duke de Montmorency Laval :

" NioNSIEUR LE PIutsIDENT,--As a Peer of
France I can no longer remain silent upon the mo-
tives which have induced me not to take part in the
proceedings of the noble Assembly to which I be-
long; and I have to request that you, Sir, will do
me the honour of making known my sentiments to
the Chamber. Two great duties present themselves,
which I feel myself called upon to fulfil. 1 must, in
the first instance, hold myself bound by ties of
affection, and by recollections of my ancestors, to
the most painful of all adversities. Having been
the representative of France, as Ambassador, for 16
years, at the greatest Courts of Europe, I have just
come from kissing for the last time the hand 9f the
Prince who, as well as his august brother, had in-
vested me with that high character. As long as my
heart shall beat in my bosom, I shall take pride and
glory in respecting and loving,- with all my affectiou
,and gratitude, the three generations of kings HOW
so painfully toiling on the road to exile. A no less
sacred duty towards my country also lays claim to
my devotedness, and, with the Noble Duke who
yesterday expressed himself in accents of truth so
penetrating, that your minds were at once moved
and convinced, I will declare that the principles
of the Charter of Louis XVIII., of glorious ms•
mory, have sunk so deep into my heart, that they
must remain fixed for ever there, without reservation
or restriction. Detained out of France by my
diplomatic functions, never have 1, by a single word
or a single line, belied the sincerity of this my pro-
fession of political faith. The wonderful prosperity
of that fine nation, which but for a few days back, I
was charged to retain in relations of amity with our
own, owes its brilliancy and splendour entirely to
the admirable concord that subsists between the
prerogatives of the throne and the rights of the
people; and this grand spectacle certainly has not
weakened my convictions. Nevertheless, though I
adhere to the principles which were yesterday pro-
teased by my noble friends, my conduct will not be.
conformable to theirs. I cannot resolve to delibe-
rate with my colleagues, nor with myself, upon a
new oath, which must alarm my long-tried fidelity,
and more particularly so while the filtering steps of
Charles X. and his fugitive family still press the
soil of France. It is notthe spirit of opposition,
hot the, principle of honourr--of honour peculiarly
French,----it is the consequence of my name, the
result of my whole life; it is not an impotent resist-
ance to a system which appears at present to be the
sole resource for France, in the wreck with which
her nyinarchy is threateneth and is, in fact, but a
sentiment of veoenitiott for misfortunes, and of love
fora royal race, that I have believed it to be my
duty to serve till my power of doing so was totally

exhausted. I shall call upon time and solitude to
enlighten me with their counsel.—Accept, &c.
" MONTMORENCY LAVAL."

(From the Messager des Chambres of Tuesday.)

It is stated with certainty that the King received
to-day an autograph letter from his Majesty William
IV., containing the most positive expressions of
good understanding with France and the King of
the French.

A most tragic event nearly took place this morn-
ing in the place Vendome. M. de Plazanet, Colonel
of the Sapeurs Pompiers of the city of Paris, was
nearly killed as he was reviewing his corps. There
was a report current that during the late events he
had given orders to fire upon the people; he only
owed his safety to the brave Colonel Fabvier, his
old comrade, who answered for his patriotism.

The sentiments of Colonel Plazanet have been
personally known to us for a long time, and we can-
not believe that he who first proposed to offer a
banquet to his young comrades of the Ecole Poly-
technique, who, during the conspiracy of 1820,
offered guns to those who would then strike for
liberty, could think of opposing it in 1830.
It appears that M. Mole is devoting his powerful
talents to the subject of the new embassies. It is
said that only two of our diplomatists will escape in
this necessary purgation. Rumour still mentions
the Count de Flahaut, Lieutenant-General and
Aide•de-Camp of Napoleon, for London. He was
employed with success by him in many impottant
missions, and has obtained much influence in Eng-
land by his marriage.
The Baron Fain and M. Oudart are named the'
head of the private cabinet to his Majesty.
The Gazette d'Etat of Prussia gives extracts
from the Debuts, Messager, Quolidienne, and the
Gazelle. It translates the word Lieutenant-Gene-
ral by Stott/toiler (Govetjior); it makes, however,
no comment. The Prussian Government appears
to contemplate our revolution, if not with sympathy,
at least without the least hostile intention. The
order transmitted to the authorities of Cologne, to
refuse an asylum to the French refugees, sufficiently
proves that Prussia does not contemplate any inter-
ference in our internal affairs. It seems that the
Prussian press might express its opinion on this
head; but it is apparently from a fear of accustom-
ing the country to discussions that the Gazette
d'Etat abstains from touching on a subject on which
it coincides with the Government.

The subscription opened at Geneva,at M. J. Bar-
bezat and Co.'s, in favour of the widows and child-
ren of the French citizens who have died for their
cowry, amounts to 679 francs 80 cents. It only
commenced on Friday last, and will continue
through this week and next. The French resident
at Geneva, who desired to participate in the pa.
triotic work, are requested to call on Messrs. Bar-
bent and Co. Several citizens of Geneva have
subscribed.

One of the first thoughts of the King was
of the wants of the working class and of
the great works that could be inunediately un-
dertaken. During yesterday his Majesty accom-
panied by M. Fontaine, visited the Louvre, and
was for a long time engaged in considering plans
and means for completing this grand monument. We
are informed that the former idea of M. Fontaine, to
compensate for the irregularities of the Louvre by a
circular gallery en the Place du Carrousel, will be
adopted and applied to the works that will be imme-
diately taken in hand, as well as those appertaining
to the arrangement and completion of all the details.
Many important determinations, and of a nature
calculated to calm disquietude as to the wants of the
working classes, have been, we are assured, decided
an by the city and Government.
All public works will be instantly resumed. Credit
of many millions has been opened in the city. This
sum will be employed to commence new works,
which, added to those already undertaken, will give
employment to many idle hands.
A special commission has been made, which is to
consult with the principal manufacturers as to the
best means or giving immediate employ to the work-
ing classes at this moment in want of it.
A bill relative to workmen Is this day to be pre-
sented to the Chamber of Deputies.
To strengthen the means offered by the National
Guards, and the faithful troops of the Line, for the
preservation of tranquillity and good order, it is pro-
posed to form a new corps of citizens charged more
especially with the guard and interior police of the
city of Paris, who will receive pay.
We learn that two officers of gendarmes and a
seminariste in disguise have been apprehended at the
moment they were haranguing the crowd.

(From 4 private letter.)

LISBON, JULY al.—The French Government
greatly desired the success of the negociation of a
loan for Don Miguel, for the agents of the two
banking-houses which have taken this loan showed
to some persons a letter from M. Luborie, styling
himself secretary to M..de Pcilignac, announcing to
them that " that Minister felt great interest in this
transaction; that the lenders might be sure that his
Most Christian Majesty would send M. Marcellus to
Lisbon in October next us Minister Plenipotentiary
to Don Miguel; that M. de Polignac very little
minded whist might be said of the acknowledgment
of Don Miguel:by France; that he (Polignac) would
henceforth manage alone in his Cabinet all the diplo•
matie affairs; that he would recall M. de Reyneval
from Vienna to give him the correspondence, espe-
cially that relative tb the affairs of Portugal; and
lastly, that the journals would no longer be able to
throw obstacles in the way of the direction which:
M. de Polignac thought to give to affairs both at
home and abroad, because the Minister was resolved
to muzzle all the papers which differed in opinion
from him."

This paper, whether genuine or forged, did not
produce the expected effect. The monied men of
Lisbon kept their coffers shut, and commissioners
who were sent to Cadiz to dispose of some shares
have come back without a piastre, so that the houses
that have contracted for the loan have not paid a
cruzado into the coffers of Dun Miguel, and the
civil and military officers, whose pay is a year in ar.
rear, cannot discount their bons even at a loss of
60 per cent.
