ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

BUCKS.—Sliculd a dissolution of Parliament take place
there would be a hard fight in this county for two of the
three scats. .The present Members would be opposed by
Mr. Cavendish, whose. return mly be reckoned upon, as he
would receive the united support of all the Whig influence
in Buckinuham,hirP, and perhaps be assisted by some of
the Tory families even, for many of the► are extremely
je..alaus of the Duke of Buckir,ghatn's monopoly of the 're-
presentation.

Avi-Eshuttv.—lt is reported that neither of the present
Tory Merni fir Aylesbury will again contest that bo.
rough. Mr. Rickford retires from old age, and Mr. Praed
from ill health. We cannot, however, place implicit reli.
ante on this report. Let the Tories take what steps they
may, the 'Retiirmers are determined to start their candi.
Bete, and to return him, if possible.
BUCKINGHAM.—This borough will be seterely contested.
The candidate on the independent interest will be the pre.
sent Member, Sir H. Verney ; the candidate on the Duke's
interest will be Sir John Chetwode.
The news of the turn-out of the Whigs, and of the ap-
pointment of " Chan-claw" to the Admiralty, caused great
joy amongst the Buckinghamshire cha-w-baeons, who looked
forward to somegood places and fatsineclires now that their
great market-ordinary friend was in the Ministry. The
cheers and hurrailig" in the market on Saturday morning
were numerous end deafening, when lo l a second edition
of tire Reforin paper, tile Aylesbury News, came out, in.
forming the farmers that Sir R..Peel.was sent to the right.
about, and that Lord Melbourne was fully re-instated.
The change ;n the countenances of the 501. Johnny•raws
was very great ; merry countenances at once became long
faces; from gay to grave, the step was instantaneous,
and the more gender:tardy Tories kept in doors to avoid
the taunts' of their delighted Reformer neighbours, Should
the new Ministry'show a bold front and a dete'rmination to
support sound reforms, they 'need not fear receiving the
support of the .Buckinghamshire independents—a party by
no means despicable.

MANCDESTER, MONDAY EVENING. —The feelings of the

be better imagined than described, on the receipt of the

occasion of the Tories having got :hold of the

MEETING OF REFORMERS IN LIVERPOOL.
LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.—The adjourned meeting of the
Reformers was most numerously attended, and the very
best spirit appeared to animate the different sections of
this great party. We noticed, amongst other eminent
individuals, Colonel Williams, James I3rancker, Esq., who
was in the Chair, James Mullineux, Esq., Egerton Smith,
Esq., Thomas Blackburn, Esq., Aldermen Sheil and
Erie Evans, Councillors Walmsley, Higgins, Moorcroft,
Cassell, Thomas Harvey, Mellor, Thornhill, Thomas
Bolton, Wcolwright,and Ramsden, R. E. Harvey, Esq.,
and many of the leading Reformers of Liverpool.
The CHAIRMAN called on the meeting to express their
sentiments on the present crisis ; and after a very in-
teresting discussion, which was of too desultory a nature,
however, to transcribe for the columns of a Newspaper,
it was decided, on the motion of Thomas Bolton, Esq.,
seconded by Colonel Williams, and carried unanimously,
That a public meeting of the Reformers of Liverpool be herd
in Clayton-square, on Wednesday next, at twelve o'clock, to
thank the Queen for the attachment she has sworn at the re.
cent crisis to Reform principles," and a Sub- Committee,
consisting of Colonel Williams, Joshua Walmsley, James
Branckcr, Thomas Bolton, and Thomas Blackburn, Esqs.,
was formed to carry the resolution into edict.
A Committee composed of the leading Reformers, in
conjunction with the Presdents of the \Yard Committees,
was likewise formed, in order to take the best means of se- •
curing a candidate or candidates ready in case of a ge.
neral election. The best spirit animated the meeting, and
a feeling of sympathy for the Queen, and abhorrence at the
tyranny of the Tories with Sir Robert Peel at their head,
was generally felt and expressed. There will be a glorious
muster on Wednesday.

NATIONAL TESTIMONIAL TO TIIF, QUEEN.
. .

—The enthusiasm which we know to exist throughout the
country in admiration of the conduct of our youthful Queen
in the delicate and difficult situation in which she was re-

cently placed, only requires an opportunity to exhibit itself
in a substantial form. We would suggest a statue, to be
executed by a native artist, the expense to be defrayed by
subscriptions of an amount which may enable every honest
Reformer to contribute his willing mite.—Morning Ad•

verliscr.
A SCRIPTURAL ILLUSTRATION.—" The
drollest illustration of the late Rowland Hill's, which has
been communicated to me, was used by him when preach-
ing about ten years ago, in a village 50 or GO miles distant
from the metropolis. lie had been pointing out the differ-
ence between the natural and renewed mind, as regards the
observance of religious duties. The mere professor, he
said, felt himself to be in an artificial and very uncomfort-
able state when engaged in the exercises of religion. The
tendency of his mind was all the while towards the perform-
ance of actions that were sinful, and the moment he escaped
from the restraints that circumstances imposed upon
him, he would return to the wcrld, and his wicked
courses. The mere professor,' added Mr. Hill, re-
minds me of a sow that I saw two hours ago luxuriat-
ing in a stye when almost over head and ears in the
mire. Now, suppose any of you were to take Bess (the sow)
and wash her, and suppose, after having dressed her in a
silk gown, and put a smart cap on her head, you were to
take her into any of your parlours, and were to set her
down to tea in company,
she might look very demure for a
time, and might not even
give a single grunt; but you
would observe that she occasionally gave a sly look towards
the door ; which showed that she felt herself in an uncom.
fortable position; and the moment she perceived that the
door was open, she would give you another proof of the
fact, by running out of the room as fast as she could..
Follow the sow, With her silk gown and her fancy car,,,
and in a few seconds you will find that she has t d
re urne to
her Stye:and is again wallowing in the mire. Just ;o it
is with the unrencwed man. Sin is his element and
though he may be induced, from a variety of motives,
to
put on at times a show of religion, you will easily
,pi:reeive
•
that he feels himself to be under unpleasant restrai uts, and
that he will return again to his sins w icnever :an oppor-
tunity of doing so, unknown to his
acquaintances, presents
tseif to him.' Metropolita Pulpit.
