SIR F.BURDETTS SPEECH in NORI H
WILTS, ABBREVIATED and VERSIFIED..

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
As chief of the demagogues long it iv,:s mine
I t Toohc's horrow'd mantle to strut ant( to shine ;
Then though to Methuselah's age I shocld live,
My rival O'Connell I ne'cr can forgive,
For he has usurp'd all my democrat glory,
And made me in dotage turn renegade Tory.

•
CENTRAL CRIMINAL COU.RT.

THIS DAY.

OLD COURT.
These Sessions commenced to-day before the Lord
Mayor, the Recorder, Alderman Pirie, the She rifff, &e.
The calendar contains upwards of 230 prisoiers for trial,
and the Sessions are expected to occupy seven or eight
days. The swearing in the Grand Jury and hearing excuses
of many gentlemen who bad been summoned tlieroon oc-
cupied a considerable portion of the morning. Amt eg the
excuses was one of a Magistrate in the neighbourhow; of a
railway, who stated that his attendance on his magiss trial
duties was imperiously necessary in consequence of the
frequent disturbances that took place among the naviotors
in the neighbourhood. The gentleman was excused. The
swearing in of the Grand Jury having been completed,
The RECORDER proceeded to deliver his charge to
them :—He said that it was not necessary for him to oc-
cupy any considerable portion of the time of the Grand
Jury, for although the calendar was not heavy in amount,
he regretted to find that it presented many serious cases.
At present the calendar presented 248 cases, which would
probably be increased before the termination of the Session
to 300. Although there were many eitremely serious
cases, still they turned upon ordinary evidence, and .did not
involve matters of late. It had occurred to the J.earned
Recorder though he did not think it necessary to enter into
the cases in the calendar thr.t he should make snme obser-
vations with regard to the alterations of the law with re-
spect to capital punishments. Although those altera“ions
did not take effect until the Ist of Oct., still they possessed
grounds of too much interest to pass them over altogether.
The principle on which the alteration of the law had pro-
ceeded was this—to remove the penalty of death f rom
offences against property only when unaccompanied by
force, and offences against the person with violence wilier°
there was cot an intention of actual murder ; and e ven
where that was intended; the Legislature had excepted
the perpetrator of the offence where the committal of it
had not endangered life. One of the clauses in the Act
with respect to offences against. the person provided, how-
ever, that in the cases of administering poison, and cutting
or stabbing where death ensued, the party should be .ad-
judged guilty of felony, and suffer death. He would amass
over the other provisions in the several Aots merely
stating to the Grand Jury what the subject of
such was, and adverting to the fact that the Legislature
had removed from the Statute Book the punishment; of
death in ail cases of forgery, acting upon the great princi-
ple that property was not protected by the sacrifice of life,
where the destruction of that property took place unac,:oui-
panied by violence. The Hon. and Learned Recoirder
concluded by calling the attention of the Grand Jury to
the names of the different Acts for the amelioration of the
Criminal Code, and observing shortly upon some of the
principal cases in the calendar.
The Counz then proceeded to swear in the Petty Jury.
No case of any interest came before the Court previous
o our Reporter's leaving.

CARM A.K,THEN COUNTY ELECTION.

AUGUF FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
in thT 10.—The Tories have for the present triumphed
ds' :daunty—mainly through the influence of Earl Caw-
, lws.110: formerly supported the liberal candidate, Sir James
illi kr.ns ; but on this occasion directed the whole of his
tenar lizs to plump for Colonel Rice Trevor.
S.& James was nobly supported by the Dissenters of the
CO' Inty„ and at the close of the poll the majority of Mr.
Jahn J ones, a renegade and apostate in political life, above
air Ja cnes Williams, was only 106. There are 75 votes in
-Lang) .carne deemed bad, and nearly 100 votes additional,
Whit) a, on a scrutiny, will be expunged. Men were brought
to Ow poll in the names of persons who were dead, others
/1,!(1. sold their property, and others removed from the pre-
ses on which they had qualified ; in fact every mean and
.rtful plan was had recourse to in order to secure two
Tory twins, and oust the honest and patriotic friend of the
*people.
The Noble Earl's conduct bas astonished his friends and
former supporters, and, if report speak correctly, he has
formed a disgraceful coalition between the two Tories, who
are to represent this county and himself, and that on terms
by no means to his credit as a man of honour and a gen-
tleman.

Col. Rice Trevor and John Jones, Esq., V Ystra 1, two
Tories, are rettrrned this day for the county of Carmarthen.

DUBLIN.-SATURDAY.

(PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
tantec est Victoria curse.—Virg.
Ireland has done its duty! Before this announcement
shall have met the eyes of even your metropolitan readers,
the proper functionaries in this country will have declared
seventy-five good men and true, supporters of Reform, and
representatives of the real Conservative principles of the
British Constitution in Her Majesty's first Parliament.
In making this assertion I, of course, follow the calcula-
tions and wishes of the Reformers of this city, whose corn-
intatiications from different parts of the country, where the
contest, as to a few returns, is still undecided, enable them
to anticipate the result. You will find, bon ever, that I
am not now much mistaken in the exact number, and there
will be a corroboration of my statement before many days
shall have elapsed. Most of the pending conflicts will
terminate this evening, and the Wexford county election,
the only one, I believe, remaining for Monday next, will
not occupy much time in eliciting the universal opinion of
that independent county in favour of the immediate return
of its late representatives. Here, then, is a majority of
five to two, staunch representatives of the people, who
say. Ireland has been hitherto misgoverned ; it shall be so
no/longer ; her well-defined grievances must he redressed,
an,d she shall in future share the blessings of the Constitu-
tion equally with England. Vainly do the fiction hope,
that Englishmen will not listen to seventy-live, at least,
cut of 105 of our representatives in the House of Com-
mons. The Conservatives are too wise to peril the union
of both countries by refusing to Ireland the demand of an
increasing majority of her representatives. They may
boast of a majority of Englishmen, and of some gains in
England upon Sir Robert Peel's Parliament. But they
should always bear in mind, that all the Ministerial or
Government difficulties in conducting the public service
during the last five years have originated from this country,
and the policy to be adopted towards her, and that in the
struggle during that period Ireland has been gaining almost
ten per cent. political power" every year. She has now
a considerably greater number of her own members, advo-
cates for the settlement of the tithe question and Corpo-
ration reform, than voted for emancipation in 1829, when
it became a Tory question unopposed by the Whigs.
In fact, all the vapouring about reaction is for the
purDose of persuading the public that the Ministry
will resign, on finding no additional support in the
Lo fter House. This might be a reasonable speculation in
tiraes differing from the present. If there was any party
its the State sufficiently strong to attempt the public service
tinder the peculiar circumstances in which the country is
tow placed, it would perhaps be the duty of the honest and
high-minded statesman at the helm of affairs to ads ise her
Majesty to call that party to her aid. But when we recol-
lect that the only statesman and the only party other than
those at present in power, that can have any such pretension,
bare already undertaken the burden of the public service,
and signally displayed their incompetency to perform the
duties which it imposed on them, we must feel that Lord
Melbourne would be exposing the country to anarchy, and
postponing its reform, if he again abandoned the helm to
incompetent pilots. Not only do the same difficulties that
beset Sir Robert Peel's cabinet still continue, but they are
much more aggravated by the increasing power and pro-
portionably increasing demands of the people. And, ii you
exclude those of the ultra faction, whose
4‘ opinions aren noth
worth having," twenty persons cannot be foundin
United Kingdom who would say such power and such tdee
mards ought to be disregarded or rejected. It is conceded
las.;_
the Opposition leaders in both Houses, that there must
be an immediate settlement of' those, questions of Iris
policy which have so long agitated the
country, and thho
only question now is, the mode of adjustment, or the quan-
tum of concession.. That the Government will be strength-
ened in 'public opinion by the result of this election, may be
colineted from the following facts :
The Reformers in the new Parliament will represent
three-fourths of the numbers, property, and intelligence of the
people of the United Kingdom. This is probable, by circum-
stances which, I apprehend, w ill not be denied or controverted.
The metropolis, and all the other great boroughs and cities
of England and Scotland that have returned Liberal mem-
bers, contain a population which, when compared with the
unniber of their representatives, is three times greater than
any portion of the population represented by an equal
number of Tories. I leave your readers to find proof of
part of this proposition, in a reference to the statistics of
London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Birmingham, &c., while I
cite some of the statistics of this country in proof of the
Other part.
We send to Parliament eighteen Reformers, representing
Dublin County and City, Limerick County and City, Cork
County and City, Galway County and City, and the town
of Belfast, to say nothing of Waterford, Kilkenny, and
other places of large constituencies, also returning Liberal
Members. I give you below the population of these places
Up'-yards of seven years ago ; and allowing for the increase
linice, shall reckon that population now at two millions and '
a half. Here, then, we find one-third of the people of
Ireland represented by eighteen Reformers. If eighteen
Reformers- represent two millions and a half of the people
of this country, how many of the remaining five millions
MaY be fairly supposed to be represented by the remaining
fifty-six or fifty-seven Liberal representatives ? Now it is
absurd to say, as the Tories do sometimes say, when it suits
their purpose, that numbers do not include property or is-
telligence. Mr. More O'Ferral, in his speech to his contn-
tuents the ether day, made some observations on this sub-
tot very deserving of attention. He stated, it was absurd
,: Si. that all the property of the county of Kildare rested
the hands of the owners in fee of the land ; he could
demonstrate that the fee-simple property of that county
Ras not one-fourth of the property of the county, and that
h bore a small proportion indeed to the unincumbered
available property in the hands of those who supported him
and his colleagues. This is sound statistical doctrine, well
worthy of the consideration of the economists, and of those
vain Tory creatures who are ignorant, or pretend to be so,
of the growing wealth of these countries
Dublin County 346 550

• Cork County
Ditto, City
Limerick County and City .
Galway County
Ditto, City 27 827
Belfast 30 OOO

2,088,799*
• This may now be set down at two millions and a half at
least, represented by only eighteen members. How will the
reaction boasted of by the faction appear when tested by de-
monstration like this?

KERRY ELECTION.

WEDNESDAY--SECOND DAY.

GROSS POLL.
Morgan John O'Connell (Radical)
Blennerhasset (Tory)
Mullins (Radical) 282
THURSDAY-THIRD DAY.
The numbers polled to-day have not been sent to the
Killarney Committee-rooms of either party. The voters
Who have returned to Killarney to-day cannot tell the state
of the poll. All they say is that the Tory had a majority
of 33 at four o'clock. The report and belief here is that
the rotes of the Tory party are nearly exhausted. This
is confirmed by the Tory agents at the booths counting
time between the tallies, and the price for a vote having
suddenly risen from 31. to Si.
Davy Shaw Murphy, of electioneering Killarney noto-
riety voted yesterday for Mullins the Radical as a set-off
for his former awkward and never-to-be-forgotten vote at
the last election for the Knight of Kerry.
Some of the mountaineer voters, after hating received
the bribes, went to Tralee and voted for the Radicals.

e find more than one of our Contemporaries have
fal!en into the mistake of supposing, that the Mr. Maule
who, has been elected for the borough of Carlow is the
Hon. Fox Maule, late Member for Perthshire. Such is
ns
ot the fact• Mr. Maule, the Liberal Member for Carlow,
an English barrister.
The Sept Freres whale ship, of Granville, has
foundered at sea on her way to Newfoundland, and all on
hd. lure than 100 in number, have perished.

IH,LLAND.

DUBLIN, AUG. 19.

hums ELEcTtoss.—Almost all the elections are now
terminated ; and we are gratified to perceive that our most
sanguine anticipations have been fully realised by the pub-
lic spirit of the electors who have brought. the contest to at.
issue eminently successful. The only places that have not
vet returned their Representatives arc the counties of Cork.
.-Queen's County, Kerry, Longford, Roscommon, Tipprary.
Westmeath, Wexford—Eighteen Members—and we cal-
culate on the entire. Tralee and Coleraine will also be
gained—of that there is no doubt—and probably Down
patrick and Carrickfergus will also swell the Liberal
triumph. The following particulars (obtained chiefly from
the Mcbtin Evening Post of Saturday List), relating to the
triumphant prozress of the elections in the Sister Country
will be read with interest :
COUNTY CARLOW.—CarIow is won, and Colonel Bruen
may betake himself to the dear delights of talking of a pe-
tition. His recent exhibitions as a landlord, have, indeed,
sunk him to a depth so low, that pity fur his manifold mor-
tifications cannot reach it. We confess, we are sorry for
Mr. Bunbury, whose conduct as a landlord is the reverse
of Colonel Bruen. We are sorry for the man. Of course
we rejoice in the fate of the politician. Gloriously has the
County been won—Colonel Bruen and Captain Vignoles
notwithstanding.
COUNTY W ICKLOW.—The Tories are again defeated.
Poor Colonel Acton, notwithstanding his subscription purse,
has been beaten, and now consoles himself with prosing
about a petition—the refugium pecentorum. It was a stiff
fight, however. Grattan was, where he ought to be, at the
head of the poll, and Howard on the next rung of the lad-
der. Most heartily do we congratulate these gentlemen on
their victory, and the county of Wicklow on its triumphs
over the Saints and Orangemen of that romantic region.
QUEEN'S COUNTY.—We may state confidently that this
county is secure, and that the two Reformers will be re.
turned ; for, from the speech of Sir Charles Coote, we are
Perfectly satisfied that in the Hon. Baronet the Queen's
Government will find a steady supporter. Of Mr. Fitzpa-
trick it is not necessary for us to speak. He has justified
all the anticipations we ventured to hold our. Our ac-
counts this day are almost decisive. The polling was nearly
equal. But Vesey is almost polled out. The numbers
mill be found elsewhere. The election, it is imagined, will
be prolonged until Monday.
KILDARE.—The well-meant ruse was absolutely without
fruits. Ruthvcn only polled one Mall, and Lord Mayo's
nephew, the heir of his honours, was the chosen glass,
through which the Orangemen of Kildare may viow their
utter decrepitude and impotence.
COUNTY WESTMEATIL—Gross poll for two days :
Chapman
Nagle
Levinge
Handeock 290
Majority B5

A number of objections still remain to be disposed of,
and there is very little doubt of the gross majority for Chap-
man and Nagle exceeding 300 ! The Tories threaten a
petition. The poll cannot close before Monday night, and
probably not even then ; there is great excitement in the
county at the audacious attempt of the Hanoverians, and
they will not only be well beaten, but laughed at into the
bargain, for venturing to disturb the liberal representatives
of Westmeath.

TlPPEttAitY.—Sheil and Cave are 400 a-head on the
first day's poll. Electors were pouring momentarily into
Clontnel. The neighbourhood of the Globe-inn resounded
with the noise of the Kentish lire sent out therefrom by a
gang of pot-valiants, who were thus accompanying a
drowsy orator, whose eyelids were nearly closed with slum-
ber and wine. O❑ Friday the state of the day's poll was
as follows :

Shell 752
Cave
Barker
Moore
Majority for Shell and Cavc —405
COUNTY KERRY.—Owiog to matters into the considera-
tion of which we shall not enter this day, apprehensions are
felt as to the result. On the third day's poll Mullins was
83 below Blcnnerhassett. There are yet two days, and it
is po•sible the latter may pull up.
COUNTY LIMERICX.—Here ',v have achieved another
triumph. Fitzgibbon and O'Brien are returned. The
Orangemen have hidden their diminished beads, their man
declining, after a struggle of a few days, to go on.
COUNTY GA LW AY.—Notwithstanding the backsliding of
certain Liberals, and the thousand pounds (not three, as
it was said) of Mansergh St. George, and the big talk of
James Daly, and the fury of the Protestant Archbishop,
and the rage of the Clancarthys, and the oaths of Lord
Gort—notwithstanding all these things, not to talk of the
great re-action in the county of Galway. Martin and Bod-
kin arc again the Members, and without a contest.
TOWN OF GALWAY.—'FO the editor of the Dublin
Evenini Pus!.—" Marble-bill, August 10, 1837.—5 i
Having seen a statement in your paper, signed by Mr.
Denis Daly, in which he says that his Excellency the Lord
Lieutenant, incredible as it may appear, thought it not un
becoming his high station to send down one of his Aide-de
Camps to canvass the numerous tenantry of Lord Clanri-
carde to vote against me, contrary, as he knew, to the ex-
pressed wishes and promises of their landlord'—as I must
consider myself the person alluded to, I beg to state, most
distinctly, that the statement is incorrect in each and every
particular. I was not tent down by his Excellency the
Lord Lieutenant for the purpose of canvassing Lord Clan-
ricardc's freeholders ; for, when I obtained his Excellency's
leave to come to Galway, I did not even know that Lord
Clanricarde had a freeholder in that town. But when I
arrived, and ascertained that he had many freeholders, I
then exercised what I considered my undoubted privilege,
that of exerting myself, in my native county, for those can-
didatei whose polities most nearly agree with my own.—
T. BURKE, A.D.C., Royal Dragoons." To this letter it is
unnecessary to add a word. But it may not be known to
all our readers that Captain Burke is cousin german of the
Marquis of Clanricarde. Now, Mr. Denis Daly, instead
of charging the part taken by this young officer on the
Government, might have recollected this fact.
COUNTY CORK.—The Constitution announces another
Conservative candidate for the County, in the person of
the Hon. James King. Let there be ten Kings—and
we'll beat them all with the name of one gracious Queen,
and the aid of Father O'Connell, the Barris, the Coppin-
gers, the Murphys, &c. Up and at them boys ! The
nomination will be on Saturday. The city election will
be over before then, and the good men of the city will be
at liberty to aid those of the county in their cause. The
Tories will be right well thrashed.
CITT OP CORK.—We congratulate Ireland on the de-
feat of the Cork Orangemen. It was a victory achieved
under the most adverse circumstances. The Cork Re-
porter says, the faction—the contemptible, the people-
hating, and, if it could, the blood-letting faction—is broken
down, defeated, and put to flight, and nothing survives of
it but the mischiefs which it attempted, but happily

has proved itself powerless, to perpetrate. Mr. Ley-
cester is now -at liberty to become " an alien," and Col.
Chatterton may return in the Ea,' of Roden, to assume
the command of his regiment at Manchester, where it is to be
hoped he will prove a better subject to the Queen than he has
shown himself to be here, by not only giving up his own
opposition, but ceasing to incite others to oppose her Ma-
jesty's Government. The contest—the mock contest—
which was commenced on Monday morning, is at an end,
for though the polling has not ceased, and will not until to-
morrow evening, the interval will only add new proofs of
the strength of the Reformers, and therefore tend still more
to swell their triumph. On Thursday evening the numbers
were—

Beamish

Callaghan lB3B
Leycester
Chatterton

Giving a majority of Beamish over Leycester 488, and
of Callaghan over Chatterton 469. On Friday, we have
not learned the precise numbers ; but the two Reformers
are returned by a majority of 540.

BAN FFSHIRE-WEDNESDAY.

FINAL CLOSE OF THE TOLL.
Duff ( It.) Ferguson (T.
Banff lO 4
Cullen
_
Keith 145

Majority 7B
I send you the final close of the poll, by which you will
see the triumph is complete. The majority is perhaps some
ten or tnelve lower than we had calculated on, from some
of the Highland voters having broken their pledges, but on
the whole it is a glorious triumph, after not more than about
a fortnight's canvass.
The official declaration takes place to-morrow at Banff.

AYRSIIIRF..—A correspondent writes as follows :
" You have no idea of the keenness of the struggle, both for
our burghs and county. The Tory tenantry are reduced to
a herd of cattle, driven at the pleasure of their master.
Even C.-- W, the head of the Reformers of Car-
rick, has been compelled to vote for Kelburne."—Scotman.

The supply of cherries, gooseberries, and currants
in Covent-garden on Saturday was larger than has been
known for many years. Cherries especially were super-
abundant, and of course the price was low. Excellent fruit
sold at l Ad. per lb. Gooseberries were as low as 2d. a
quart. awl currants nearly as cheap. Apples unripe and
half-ripe were retailed at eight a penny. There were a few
peaches in the market.
