DEVON.—EXETER, Auo. 12.

The interest excited by the uncertainty of the
result of this great contest between intelligence and
ignorance has been this instatit dissipated. Mr.
Bastard, finding it impossible to gain the ground
which he had lost, and despairing of success, has
this moment resigned, and the exultation which
pervades all classes, excepting the few personal
friends of the retiring candidate, is indescribable.
—The state of the poll at its termination was as
follows :
Ebrington 2944
Acland 2764
Bastard 2174

Captain Foitescne and Sir Thomas Acland have
been drawn in the Fame car from the hustings; and
the freeholders exhibited their joy with an intelligent
ardour which it iedelightful to behold.
As the coach is just leaving, I must defer until
to-morrow what I had further to state concerning
this glorious triumph.

CAAIBRIDGE.—kCOUNTY), FRIDAY Noox.

The contest for the representation of this county
still continues to be carried on with vigour on each
side, but, as will be seen by the subjoined ac.
count, with brightening prospects on the side of
the independent interest, and sanguine hopes are
now entertained, that this county, following the
numerous examples set it elsewhere, will refuse
any longer to submit to be enthralled by the Rut-
land family. Whatever stay be the fate of the
present struggle, the Rutland interest is at an end,
and it is now highly probable that Lord Manners,
although respected as a private gentleman, and
although having united in his favour the interest of
Government, of the Corporation of Cambridge, of
the Duke of Rutland, and of the Bishop of Ely,
will lose hie election.

On Thursday night the numbers were declared
to be, for

Osborne 1,621
Adeane
Manners 1,462
Lord OsnonNa could hardly find words to ex-
press his gratitude to them. He now stood before
them, and was ready to answer any question which
any freeholder, high or low, might be disposed to
put to him.—(Applause.)
Mr. ADEANE said he had prophesied that he
should stand second on the poll that day, and he
had prophesied truly. Should he prophesy again ?
—(Cries of " Do, do.")—Then he would prophesy
that if they did but continue their exertions, the
morning after the next he should be chaired.—(Loud
cheers.)—Let them only continue their exertions,
and he must triumph. The cause was not his, but
theirs ; every freeholder in the county was inte-
rested; all England looked on with interest, for in
returning Members, they returned Members not
merely for Cambridge bat for England. In a neigh-
bouring county, Sir T. Gooch had been thrown out.
Norfolk had rejected Mr. Wodehouse, and Surrey
had refused to return Colonel Jolliffe. Why was
this ? It was because they had not supported
re-
trenchment. And what would become of Cam-
bridge ? He would tell them. It would return
Adeane, because he had promised to vote for eco-
nomy and retrenchment.

Lord MANNERS, notwithstanding the discourag-
irg situation in which he then stood, should feel it
his duty to continue the contest to the last, and to
give every freeholder the opportunity of registering
his vote.
Mr. Serjeant PELL hoped, as they were approach-
ing victory, they would behave with moderation.
Lord Manners was down, and let them keep him
down, but don't strike him while he is down. He
had seen with the most painful sensation, some most
scandalous scenes ut that election. He had seen
ruffians mad with drunkenness and folly dealing
blows indiscriminately among the aged, the young,
and the helpless. He did not believe Lord Man-
ners had any thing to do with this,—he was too
honourable to employ such ruffians. He should
leave these hustingl alone, and if they attacked him,
he would show them, that if he had not strength he
had the spirit of an nglishman.
Mr. AIiPLAN congratulated the freeholders on
what they had achieved. They had given a blow
to corruption from which it could never recover.
That fine county had not been properly represented
for years, and whenever its interests required pro-
tection, they had only Lord Osborne to look to.
Their other member was a man who for years had
done all he 'could to increase the burdens of the
country. They had now, however, spoken out with
a voice which would make corruption tremble; their
voice would be carried through the intelligence of
the country by the Press, and ere long all their
rights would be secured to them. They had all
heard with admiration the glorious news of a neigh-'
bouring people having acquired their liberty at the
cannon's mouth, but the brightest wreath that
adorned those fine people was the moderate and
peaceable manner in which they had sat down to
enjoy their victory. Let them copy that example,
and show that they were Englishmen, not serfs, and
that they would sto longer have a nominee of the
Duke of Rutland, but have men in whom they
could place confidence; in fact, that they would have
Lord Osborne and Mr. Adeane.—(Applause.)

(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)

DUBLIN, AUG. 10.
Mr. French and Mr. O'Conor lion have been
returned without opposition for the county of Ros-
common.

Mr. :Tames Grattan and Mr. Ralph Howard have
been returned for the county of Wicklow.
Mr. Maurice O'Connell is amid to be still at the
head of the poll in Drogheda; but the numbers are
variously reported. On the one hand, his friends
entertain no doubt of the. ultimate success of Mr.
North.

The county of Louth election begins this day,
with n very fair prospect, I understand, of Mr. Sheil's
success.

The town of Galway election is still carried on
with the utmost fury. 11is friends arc confident
that Air. Valentine Blake, the independent candi-
date, will either be declared the sitting member, or
sit upon a petition. A deputy town-clerk has been
killed.

Thu town of Ennis has returned a member of Sir
Edward O'Brien's family—Clonmel, Mr. Eyre
Coote—Cashel, Mr. Pennefather—.DungarvAn, after
a slight struggle, Mr. Lamb—Mallow, Mr. Jepbson—
Belfast, Sir A. Chichester—Wexford, Mr.Wigratn—
Lisburn, Mr. Meynell—Downputrick, Mr. Ruth-
,cu---Sligo, Mr. Wynne—Carlow, Lord Tullamore
—Dungannon, Mr. Knox—and Enniskillen, Mr.
Cole.
Very strenuous effmts are making by Lord Goa
and the Corporation of Limerick to pit Mr. Dixon

in for the city, but they will fail, it is confidently
predicted by the independents.
This day Mr. Charles Brownlow and Lord Ache-
son will be returned, without opposition, for the
county of Armagh.
The county of Dublin election commenced this
day. Mr. Hawthorn proposed Mr. Talbot, who was
seconded by General Cockburne. Colonel White was
proposed by General Arabin, and seconded by the
Lord Mayor. Mr. Latouche proposed, and Mr.
Kennedy seconded, Lord Brabazon; and Mr. Hamil-
ton was proposed by Mr. Woods, and seconded by
Mr. Robert Law. There was, of course, a good
deal of speeching. The candidates likely to be re-
turned, I understand, are Brabazon and White.
Mr. Henry Grattan, I am afraid, has no chance
for the city of Dublin. He was yesterday upwards
of 700 under Mr. Moore, and more than 500 under
the Recorder. They speak confidently of a petition.
Mr. Lawless will certainly stand for Meath, but
I should suppose with little prospect of success.
It is supposed that Mr. Lambert will be obliged
to retire from the county of Galway, and that Sir
John Burke and Mr. Daly will be the Members.
There will be no real contest in the county of
Mayo. The two Browne* will come in ; but Mr.
Joseph Macdonnell, will put them to some expense,
and himself to a great deal.
The city of Cork election is still going on, for
what. purpose Heaven only knows, and Dr. Baldwin
perhaps. The Brunswick Club are completely
broken by the turn which things have taken, and
the freemen have been terribly baulked of their
perquisites.
It is supposed, but I rather think erroneously, that
Mr. Roe, of Roseborough, will be put forth in
Tipperary against Mr. Prittie.
The weather has taken up again, and there is,
notwithstanding, an advance of one shilling per
barrel on wheat. The potatoes have suffered some-
what from the late rains.

There is no Assize news of much importance.
The following extract of a letter, however, from
Derry, will not be read without interest by those
acquainted with the recent proceedings in the north
of Ireland :

" Danny, Auo. 9.—The Attorney-General ar-
rived here last night to prosecute in the Maharafelt
affair. Mr. Justice Vandeleur opened the commis-
sion on Saturday evening. Baron Pennefather is
not expected in:town till to-morrow. He continued
to suffer from an attack of the gout. Judge Van-
deleur's charge to the Grand Jury was particularly
short. He congratulated them on the lightness of
the calendar ; apologised for the delay in opening
the commission (it was then five o'clock) ; dismissed
them without a single observation on the affair
which fills the public mind and has brought the At-
torney-General from Dublin, and is, I believe, un-
paralleled in the history of a country which has
escaped the visitation of a civil war. The assault
and carrying of a Court of Justice ; the dispersion of
the presiding Magistrates; the rescuing the pri-
soners confined by their authority, and all done by
the armed yeomanry—the men whom the Govern-
ment hitherto considered as the exclusively loyal
men of the north I These trials must disclose
matter for serious consideration. Seven of these
loyal yeomen stand charged with firing the houses
of four unoffending Catholics, and reducing some to
ashes.

DUBLIN, Aua.
The election for the county of Armagh has ter-
minated in the return of Mr. Brownlow and Lord
Acheson. Mr. Brownlow was proposed by Colonel
Close, and seconded by Mr. Johnstone, who in-
sisted at considerable length on his services and ta-
lents. Colonel Blacker, late Deputy Vice-Trea-
surer, proposed Lord Acheson. Lord Acheson
made a very manly and ingenuous speech, professed
his attachment to economy and retrenchment, bis
perfect independence of Government, his attach-
ment to the liberty of the Press, and concluded by
eulogizing the conduct of the French people in
cashiering their tyrant King. Thus, in this county,
the head-quarters of Orangeism, have two liberal
candidates been returned.

The election for the county of Louth is proceed-
ing with considerable spirit. Yesterday the num-
bers were,—for

Dawson
Sheil l3l
M'Clintoc k lll
Bellew 44
The contest will he between Shell and M'Clin-
tock. Dawson is sure of his election, but Bellew
has no chance. He was considerably damaged by
a retort of Mr. Shell yesterday. Mr. Bellew boasted
of his services in the Catholic Association. His
competitor replied that he was not aware of these
magnificent services. The best speech he ever
heard from Mr. Bellew was on seconding the mo-
tion of Mr. Forde not to deal with Protestants. It
is stated that Mr. Bellow lost several votes in con-
sequence of this sally. Another candidate who,
however, has not come to the poll, Mr. Marmion,
was addressing the populace, against Mr. Sheil,
from a carriage. The people aware, says my in-
formant, of the moveable quality of, the rostrum,
dragged the carriage away amidst the shouts and
laughter of the sovereign. people, Mr. Marmion con-
tinuing to gesticulate furiously all the time.
The election for the county of Drogheda is not
yet over. It will cost the winning candidate, Mr.
North, 5,0004 or 6,000/. A petition is spoken of,
under the opinion of Mr. Wallace, who, it is well
known, opened Wexford.
There will be another petition from the town of
Wexford against the return of Wigram.
The election for the city of Kilkenny is carrying
on with great fierceness. Mr. Leader, the popular
candidate, is at the head of the poll. The numbers
are as follow :
Mr. Leader 195
Mr. Bailey
Mr. Read (Lord Ormond's man) 6O
Whatever be, the deelsration of the returning officer,
it is certain there will be a petition.
The city of Dublin election, I should suppose,
will terminate this evening. Grattan only polled
105 yesterday, while Shaw's number was 179, and
Moore's 227. The two corporation men will, of
course, be the members; but there will be a peti-
tion against the Recorder.
The county Qf Dublin election is proceeding with
great briskness. It is impossible, as yet, to con-
jecture the result, as the four candidates respec-
tively stand upon their individual interest.
Mr. O'Farrell, it is now said with confidence, will
represent the county of Kildare, with Lord William
Fit zgerald.

This day Mr. Anthony Lefroy, son of the Bar-
rister, and a Brunswieker, has been returned, with
Lord Forbes, for the county of Longford.
There will be a contest in the county of Leitrim.
Colonel Clements opposes his relation, Lord
Clements, and Mr. Samuel White.
There is a coalition, it is said, in the county of
Antrim, between Lord Belfast and Colonel O'Neill,
against Lord tlarford's man, Mr. Macdonnell. It is
reported, that the latter has also the Government
interest.
The weather is extremely unsettled, and the corn-
markets are still advancing.
A Deputation of the Irish Society, with Alder-
man Thorp at their head, has arrived in Dublin. It
is stated, that their object is to investigate the late
Orange proceedings in Derry, with a view of as-
certaining whether any of their agents were con-
cerned. Alderman Beresford is one of them.

MEETING OF THE LIVERY OF 02
MERCHANT TAILORS' COMPANY.-

On Wednesday afternoon, at four o'clock, $
highly respectable meeting of merchants and littnY
belonging to the Merchant Tailors Companyi Md
others, took place at the Old London Tom
Bishopsgate-street, to take into consideration the
best means to obtain a restitution of theirrighist
which had been granted to the Company by Edward
the Third, and subsequently augmented by ten stth.
ceeding Sovereigns of England.
The following statement will more folly'
plain the object of those meetings which have takati,
and are about taking, place, of the members of the
different corporate bodies belonging to the city
London. When they were first established by Ike
different Kings, the freemen were to elect from Oa
respective bodies persons to 611 the offices of MalW
and Wardens, and who were to give an aceottette
the body of ieir annual receipts and expenditati
Those officers were to go out of office annuallbled„
to be succeeded by others, who should bi 11101
from the body of freemen, and which election 40e•
tinued in the freemen until the livery was istiblittd
in the reign of George the First, when that h64i.w
being most influential, arrogated to tbereeeleAsie
power and right to elect the officers of their.
tive Companies. This innovation upon the Pro
of the freemen has been strengthened by soothe.'
namely, that of the Master and Wardens and Alit'
ants electing themselves; and which select -ante"
