this we mean the majority of the new candidate, Mr. Currie,
over Mr. Ross, while Mr. Smith's majority amounted to
169. The perfect union between the Whigs and Radicals,
may serve as an example to other constituencies, which we
trust will be extensively followed. Before the conclusion
of the election, Mr. Ross, who had long previously wrung
his hands with the Moor, and piteously exclaimed, " Othello's
occupation's gone," vanished from the scene, probably to be
introduced, by his patrons of the Carlton Club, to some
other less scrupulous constituency. Thus the " Rejected
of Northampton," the " whipped-out Whipper-in," may seek
an asylum in one of the snug preserves still retained by
his party.

DEFEAT OF THE ENEMIES OF THE QUEEN
AT LEICESTER.
LEICESTER, TUESDAY 25, 1837.—We have this day
elected Duckworth and Easthope, and rejected the late
Tory Members, Goulburn and Gladstone, by a majority of
nearly 400. Let the world know that the men cf Leicester
have done their ditty ! Let them know, that that sink of
infamy " the old Corporation and T. Burbridge" are no
more, and let them appreciate with us the blessings of Re-
form. The re-action here is for "the Queen and Consti-
tution—the Queen, Reform and Liberty." We cast back
with contempt in the teeth of the Tories the calumny which
their organ would heap upon us, of re-action in their favour.
Let them compare the present election with the last, and
they will find that 10,0001. was not paid by the Corpora-
tion, nor even one farthing to perpetuate such villainy.
CLOSE OF THE POLL.
Duckworth and Easthope
Goulburn and Gladstone 1416

Majority.... 390
P.S. So desperate did the dying faction consider their
cause, that the dying and almost dead were conveyed
to the poll to record their last votes. As to the threats
held out of bribery, intimidation, and exclusive deal-
ing, I need not dwell, your readers are too well aware of
them to need any comment.

The Tories have been bribing and treating very exten-
sively for several weeks, and have resorted to the party
clamour against the " Poor-law," and if it bad not been
for the disfranchising clause upon removal 10/. voters, of
Mr.Ponsonby would have had a much larger majority.
The following is the close of the poll on the 25th inst.—

The nomination for candidates for this borough took
place yesterday ( Monday) morning, when Thomas Baring,
Esq., our late Member, and Charles Gambier, Esq., were
nominated in the Conservative interest ; and C. E. Rum-
bold, Esq., and W. Wilshere, Esq., were proposed in the

the numbers were—

Baring 697 Tories.

We cannot help expressing our gratification at the uni-
versal good feeling exhibited by all parties during the elec-
tion. Everything passed off quietly, and good humour
prevailed. Our late respected Member, T. Baring, Esq ,
on finding that the election would terminate against him,
appeared at the Reform booth and inquired for Mr. Rum-
bold, when, on seeing him, he congratulated him on being
the successful candidate.
The chairing will take place to-morrow (Wednesday).

CHESTER.
Chronicle Office, Tuesday, July 25.

SIR—As you will be desirous of knowing the progress
of the election here, I beg to inform you that the Hon.
Frederick Dudley Rider, brother of Lord Sandon, and son
of the Earl of Harrowby, was nominated here yesterday in
the Cumberland Orange Tory interest, in opposition to
Lord Robert Grosvenor and Mr. Jervis, the late Reform
Members. The Tory party desecrated the Sabbath by
inducing the electors to become beastly intoxicated, and
the most active gentleman so engaged was Mr. Henry
Raikes, son of the Rev. Henry Raikes, Chancellor of this
diocese. The party are endeavouring to obtain votes by
bribery, treating, and intimidation, but notwithstanding the
following was the state of the poll at one o'clock this day
the last hour at which I can send it to you by post :
Grosvenor
Jervis
Rider
The cause of Reform is triumphant.
Yours, &c.

CARLISLE, JULY 24, 1837.
This election took place tc-day. At a meeting held on
Thursday last between the committees of Mr. Marshall
(Radical) and Mr. Howard (Whig) it was agreed to sink
all minor differences and join together in support of the late
Members. An address from the joint Committees was im-
mediately issued, and had the effect of combining all Re-
formers except the extreme Radicals—the Tory-Radicals
as O'Connell properly designated them ; men who have
either been induced to play the game of the Tories, or who
are too obtuse in intellect to perceive that they are mere
tools in the hands of that unscrupulous party.
The candidates were proposed to-day by G. G. Mounsey,
Esq., the late and first freely chosen Mayor of this city,
and John Dixon, Esq., of Knells, seconded by Mr. T.
Donald, of Linstock, and Mr. Francis Harrison, both old
freemen.
The candidates were catechised at some length by the
Radicals, an the questions of the Ballot, the Corn-laws,
Short Parliaments, non-qualification of Members, House-
hold Suffrage, re‘ision of the Pension List, and repeal of
the Poor-law Amendment Bill.
Mr. Howard and Mr. Marshall addressed the assembly
at great length, the former expressing his doubts of the ex-
pediency of the measures referred to by the questions, the
latter declaring himself an advocate of the Ballott and of
Triennial Parliaments, an opponent of the Corn-laws, fa-
vourable to an extension of the Suffrage, but declaring him-
self boldly and fearlessly Lri favour of the principle of the
Poor-law Amendment Act.
The Radicals expressed themselves dissatisfied with How-
ard's answers, and said they would prepare to put him out
at the next election.
No other candidate having been proposed, the Mayor
declared Mr. Howard and Mr. Marshall duly elected.
There was evidently a strong feeling amongst the electors
in favour of the Queen's Government.
The Radicals declared themselves opposed to the Bal-
lot, unless accompanied by an extension of the Suffrage.

CARLISLE, JULY 25.
Since I last wrote you about our county election, we
have had our city nomination to-day, and the election
ended in the return of the two old Members, the Tories
not da.ing to show face, though they put some of the Tory
Radicals forward to abuse the Poor-law Amendment Act ;
but all would not do.
Sir James is determined to die hard, inasmuch as the
Chandos clause will be put in force by the Tory land-
lords ; many of the tenants who signed the requisition to
Aglionby and James have received peremptory orders to
vote for the apostate. Twenty guineas was offered the
other day for a calf, provided the person would vote for
the Baronet, but, to the man's honour, he spurned the at-
tempt made to degrade him. Several instances of the kind
are on record, and the parties shall have their reward by a
