PIGEON SHOOTING.
The
shooting at the Red House Tavern yesterday exceeded
any match of the sort which has been witnessed for many
"tbs. It had been got up by a gentleman who was deter-
Ibined to try the merits of pigeon shots at a long distance ;
4°,1, in order to make the contest one in which they should be
oPposed to field sportsmen, it was made open to all England,
With the exception of those who refused to pay the entrance.
Which was absolutely necessary to keep the thing select. A
great deal had been said about the patent cartridge of Ely's,
and in making the match it was stipulated that nine of the
birds should be shot at with two ounces of loose shot, and the
l'elnaining nine with the cartridge. We detailed the first day's
Shooting. The following is the total score:_

Ist Day. 2d Day. Total.
Mr. Bloodsworth
Mr. Toby
Mr. Juno
Mr. Potter
Mr. Thorpe
Mr. Groom
The betting had been from the conclusion of the first day's
shooting in favour of Bloodsworth. His merit was well known ;
but the cartridge diverted the odds to some extent. At the
distance of yesterday's shooting, thirty-five yards rise, the
cartridge was eminently superior.
The Marquis of Ailesbury left town yesterday for
Cowes, where the Noble Marquis will sojourn for a few days,
Previous to his departure for a Continental tour.
The Marquis of Anglesey is gone to Lisbon. His
Lordship sailed in his own yacht a few days since ; the im-
mediate object of the Marquis's trip is a visit to Lord Cla-
rence
he Paget, who is at present residing there for the benefit
of his alth.
The Earl and Countess of Verulam and family left
ptown on Saturday for Gorhambury, which we understand will
ortly be the scene of extraordinary festivities. The Earl
d Countess of Craven will in a few days repair to the family
Mansion.
, Lord Holland had a dinner party yesterday, at Hol-
land House, -Kensington.
Lord Walpole will leave England the first week in
August. His Lordship is going direct to Athens.
~
aY for 'Viscount Maynard and family left town on Satur-
i Eastnor Lodge, his Lordship's scat, in Essex.

REFORM TRIUMPHANT

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENTS.)
CHESTER.
Chronicle Office, Chester, July 26, 1837.
SlR,—From my communication of yesterday you would
doubtless anticipate the tr:tunpli of our old liberal candi-
dates. The following was the state of the poll at its close
last night. Lord Robert Grosvenor (Reformer) 1,282, and
Mr. Jervis (Reformer) 1,109. The Tory candidate, the
Hon. F. Rider, only obtained 332 votes. The successful
candidates were chaired after the Sheriff's declaration, which
took p'ace at five o'clock.
Our County Members will be as before.
( Another Account.)
Slit—l cannot resist the opportunity of informing you of
th e result of our election—yes, one that ought to be an ex-
ample to the Reformers of the United Kingdom.
Grosvenor (Reformer)
Jervis (Ditto) ... 1,106
Ryder (Tory) 351 I
So much for a Cathedral City and the Parsons!
Mr. Devonport (Reformer) returned for Warrington I

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE—him' 25.
We have just concluded a most animated contest, and
placed Mr. Ord triumphantly at the head of the poll.
Until the day of the nomination, we expected that the old
Members, Mr. Ord and Mr. Hodgson Hind, would be re-
turned without. opposition, although Mr. Hodgson Hind
had issued an insolent address to his constituents, threaten-
ing to bring forward another Tory candidate, if he should
be opposed. In the meantime, a Dr. Beaumont, an Ultra
Radical, appears in the field, to agitate the Poor-law ques-
tion ; and although he had no support from the Liberal
party, which Mr. Ord represents, Mr. H. Hind made the
appearance of this candidate a pretext for bringing forward
Captain Coulson, a professed Tory, as his associate. Upon
this, Dr. Headlam proposed Mr. C. J. Bigge on the spur
of the moment, who immediately undertook to fight the
battle, in conjunction with Mr. Ord—who was unavoidably
absent, on account of the illness.of his son. The spirit of
the Liberal party was. roused, and the utmost indignation
was felt against this attempt at dictation on the part of Mr.
H. Hind ; and if the struggle had been commenced a few
hours sooner, Mr. Bigge would certainly have been returned
with Mr. Ord. It may be mentioned that Mr. H. Hind
owes the power upon which he has presumed so much to
the support of a body of old freemen, amongst whom he has
spent large sums of money in his different contests ; but,
thanks to this struggle, the Liberal party know their power,
the Radicals have felt their weakness, and the Tories have
been foiled in their deep-laid scheme to monopolise the re-
presentation of the town.

HAVERFORDWEST, JULY 25.
CLOSE OP THE POLL.
Sir R. B. P. Philipps (Liberal) 247
W. H. Samfield (Tory)
Giving a majority of 82 in favour of Sir Richard Philipps,
the declared supporter of the Queen and her Liberal Go-
vernment. The struggle has been a desperate one ; the
Tory party exerted themselves prodigiously, and no effort
or expense was spared to try to burden the town with their
pet candidate ; but, honour be to the middle classes of the
town, they have succeeded in proving to the High Church
party, that Haverfordwest shall not be represented again by
a man whose principal supporters are members of the noto-
rious Carlton Club. The Liberal gain here will be two
votes, the Tory party losing one, which they will never
recover.

The late Members are returned again, and the poll stands
as follows :

Lord Seymour
Mr. Parrott
Sir Geo. Adams
The conduct of the Tories has been disgraceful in the
extreme ; but they now know that they can do nothing in
this
.borough. You shall hear more about it.

KENDAL, JULY 25.
The election took place this day, when George William
Wood, Esq. was returned without opposition.

By extraordinary efforts on the part of the Tories, and
under cover of the influence of the Bristol family, Earl
Jermyn has succeeded in obtaining a majority of two over
Mr. I3unbury. The two old Members will therefore be
returned, but whether Lord Jermyn will be allowed to re-
main in undisputed possession of his seat is doubtful. At
all events, his Tory days as Member for Bury are num-
bered. It is true he has polled two more votes than his
opponent, but he cannot fail to be aware that a majority of
his constituents are opposed on principle to his anti-reform-
ing policy, and unless, therefore, his votes in Parliament
should in future he more in harmony with the popular feel-
ing in Bury than they have hitherto been, he must be pre-
pared to take leave of the representation of the town at the
next election, come when it may. It seems the Habeas
Corpus Act was suspended here as well as at Norwich on
the eve of the election. Lord Jermyn was interrupted
during his speech by a person who inquired of him after a
voter who was missing. The loyal and constitutional cause
is likely to be well supported at the West Suffolk election.
Sir Henry Bunbury's seat is safe, and there ought not to be,
and it is hoped there is not, the shadow of a doubt of Mr.
Wilson's return. He headed the poll at the last election ;
he has firmly supported the principles on which he was sent
to Parliament ; and he has completely identified himself
with the agricultural interest. Unless, therefore, the yeo-
manry of West Suffolk should be the most vacillating of
men, Bunbury and Wilson will be returned by a large ma-
jority.
