calumny; for he was a Reformer in the most compre-
hensive sense of the term, with this exception only,
that he was not yet convinced of the expediency of
the Ballot. We regret this hesitation on the part
of the Honourable IVlember, for on most other
questions he is vigorous and decided enough.
He wishes, for instance, to see Church-rates entirely
abolished; the duration of Parliament shortened ; Mu-
nicipal Reform granted to Ireland ; and the rate-
paving clauses cf the Reform Act done away with.
Why, being thus liberal in his views respecting these
important measures, will not Mr. TURNER bring an
equal measure of liberality to bear on his consideration
of the Ballot ? Has he maturely reflected on the re-
sults of the last elections; has he perused the accounts
which have been collected from all quarters, and in-
serted from time to time in all the liberal journals, of
the schemes resorted to by the Tory parsons and Tory
pensioned agents to corrupt the purity of election, and
bear down by intimidation those whom they could not
convince by argument ? Has the lion. Member for
Truro perused this conclusive evidence ? We rather
suspect not ; for if he had, sure arc we that he would
not talk of the demoralizing" effects likely to accrue
from the adoption of the Ballot, but come to the
same conclusion that Mr. DENNISON has lately done,
who having long been a sworn opponent to secret
voting, has now publicly recanted his opposition, and
stated his reluctant, but sincere, conviction that it is
indispensable that the Ballot be granted. As
for demoralization, the idea is a farce. Under any
system we cannot possibly see more of it than we
SAW during the last election, when voters, like cattle,
were brought up in droves to the poll, headed by one
,Tory agent, and tailed by another I Any ohange iu
a practice like this must be for the better, for it can-
nt be for the worse. We anticipate, therefore, with
some confidence the day when Mr. TURNER will re-
cant his heresy on the subject of the Ballot, and come
round to the true faith. A liberal and active mind
Re his cannot long retain its prejudices. As the
Tories have not hesitated to give out that this gentle-
man is one of their fraternity, we have little doubt.that
they have been urging the same accusation against other
-Hon. Members; and if so, we can readily account for
the formidable show, in point of "'umbers, which their
Parliamentary adherents make in the columns of their
accredited organs.

L€tters and papers from Madrid down to the 20th
, have been received. From these it appears that
ESPARTERO moved from Carabanchel, in the imme-
diate vicinity of Madrid, on the 17th, and on the fol-
lowing day reached Guadalaxara, which, he states in a
despatch, the Carlists had invested. On the approach
of the Commander•in-Chief they raised the siege, and
retired to the heights in the neighbourhood of the
city, in which position they remained at the date of
the first despatch, on the 19th. After closing his
despatch, it seems he attacked the enemy with great
vigour, for a second despatch of the same date, pub-
lished in the Madrid Gazette of the 20th, details
a complete victory over the rebels, who were
pursued by the QUEEN'S troops as far as Aran-
zueque, the Pretender still continuing his flight
to Ravera. This, it must be observed, is the ac-
count that ESPARTERO gives of his own achieve-
ments, and therefore considerable allowance is to be
made for the propensity which all Spaniards, and the
Conde de LUCHANA in particular, have to view their
own exploits through a medium of considerable mag-
nifying power. It is also to be borne in mind that the
journals being prohibited from communicating any in-
telligence respecting military matters, there is no way
of checking the accounts from the army published by
the Government. The whole amount of this boasted
victory will probably turn out to be little more than an
affair between the rear-guard of the Carlists, as they
retreated upon their resources on finding themselves
outnumbered by the Royal army, and the advanced
g,itard of the latter in which neither party could claim
any decided advantage. The following is a copy of
ESPA RTERO'S dispatch :
" ARANZUEQUE, SEPT. 19.—1 left Alcala this morning,
to march against the enemy. On arriving at Anchuelo
I perceived him, and calculating that if I delayed my ad-
vance 1 should allow him to gain too much upon
me I set forward with the cavalry and a company
of guides. This movement disturbed the enemy, and
when I ordered the cavalry to charge, which it
instantly did, with decision and energy, between San
Forcar and El Pozo, the enemy broke, and fled in
all directions. The infantry was successively dislodged
from all the positions it occupied by the battalidn of
Guides and a few field pieces. With this force and a part
of my cavnlry, I pursued the rebels as far as this place,
which the Pretender left in great haste at mid-day, going
in the direction of Renera, whither his troops have followed
him. The result of this affair is, the total dispersion of
the rebel forces. We have killed many, and taken several
prisoners, of whom it is impossible for me to collect the
names or the numbers at this momer.t. The enemy left
oil the field of battle horses, arms, and other effects. I
hasten to inform your Excellency of this affair, and to re-
quest you will submit the intelligence to her Majesty.
The Count de LUCHANA."
ORA A had .not advanced beyond Cuenca on the

16th ; hether he was to proceed to the capital, or to
join ESPARTERO, does not appear. Cuenca is between
70 and 80 miles from Madrid, and farther from Gua-
dulaxara. In the meantime ZARIATIEGUY is rang-
ing about unopposed in old Castile ; the capital of
which, Valladolid, he seems to have made himself
master of without resistance. He had not joined the
Pretender, as was supposed probable before tlI arrival
of the last accounts ; but will most likely do so, as the
latter retreats towards the north.

By a decree which has been issued on the joint autho-
rity of the QUEEN and the Cortes, property, of every
-
description is subjected to an extraordinary contribution.
The deficiency in the Revenue is the cause alleged for
this proceeding. The motion made in the Cortes on the
20th, declaratory of a want of confidence in the Finance
Minister, M. PITA PIZARRO, was lost by a majority
of fire, and not of three, as had been stated. The
numbers were 53 for and 58 against it. M. PIZARRO,
in the debate on the motion, expressed himself to the
following tffect
“ When I accepted the Finance Department I fore-
saw the enormous burthen which I imposed upon myself.
Nevertheless, my devotion to the national cause de-
termined to risk all danger, with the hope of saving
the country. I not only found the Treasury ex-
hausted, but I found that all resources were an-
ticipated for a long time to come, to the extent of no
less than 187,000,000 of roals (1,800,0001. sterling). Iu
thi;s critical position—fearing that the army would become
tetally disorganised, if the money which it wanted was

not placed at its disposition—for more than one military
sedition has broken out, in consequence of the destitution
in which it was left—l have been forced to suspend, by a
Royal Order of the 2d instant, the payment of certain
claims, for the purpose of devoting all the means to the
service of the army. I imagine that such an Order is
within the power of the Constitution, anti that it does not
deserve the epithets which have been applied to it."

We are sorry to find that the letters from Bayonne
assert, that the prisoners taken by the Carlists at
Andoain have all been put to death.

The following are extracts from the French Papers
received this day :
PARIS, SEPT. 27.—An extraordinary courier, who left
Madrid on the 18th in the evening, has arrived during the
night, at the hotel of the Spanish legation. According to
the accounts which he brings, Don Carlos occupied Tareja,
four leagues north of Guadaxara. His intention is to re-
turn towards Madrid, after his junction with Zariateguy.
The accounts from Madrid of the 18th do not speak of
this junction as effected, nor of the occupation of Vallado-
lid by Zariateguy, though the fact is by no means impos.
Oraa, coming from 'Valencia, left Cuenca on the
15th, and on the 17th effected his junction with Espartero,
who occupied Guadalaxara at the date of the same news.
General Carondelet, whom the telegraphic dispatches of
the 24th stated to be at Haro, in Old Castile, 80 leap"
from Madrid, had. 45 well as gril: eff4ted hls junction
with Fl4parte'f•Q• Madrid was, on the 18th, in as complete
a state gf dOPPPP a; could be wished.
()titer letters say that gspartero, after his junction with

Urfa, was going towards firielmega at the head of :;0,000
men. A battle seemed inevitable. Don Carlos was on
the 17th at Mondejur ; on the approach of Oran he has-
tened to pass to the opposite bank of Ilemires. It is
atiirmed that the Minister of Marine has received to-day
several telegraphic despatches from the Maritime Prefect
of Toulon, announcingg that the cholera had broken ont,
not only in the city, but also on board the vessels in the
road of Toulon. The Maritime Prefect ascribes the ap-
pearance of the cholera at Toulon, which had hitherto been
free, to the arrival of the I•_'th regiment from Marseilles.—

ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR

This being Michaelmas-day, the election of Lord Mayor
for the ensuing year took place according to custom. The
Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, Aldermen, and other City func-
tionaries. went in procession to the Church of St. Law-
rence, Jewry, for the purpose of attending divine service,
and at half-past one o'clock adjourned to the Guildhall,
where a numerous body of the livery were assembled. The
Lord Mayor having taken the Chair,
The RECORDER came forward, and stated the objects
for which they bad assembled. The new Lord Mayor
would be elected under most auspicious circumstances, her
Majesty having been graciously pleased to promise that
she would dine with him on the first day of his
Mayoralty.—(Loud cheers.) After expressing a hope that
no change would ever take place in the constitution of
the Corporation of London, which would deprive the citi-
zens of London of a voice in the election of their magis-
trates, the Learned Gentleman retired amid much cheering.
The Lord Mayor and Aldermen then retired, and the
Common Sergeant called over the names of those
Aldermen who were qualified by having filled the office
of Sheriff, and declared that the show of hands was in
favour of Alderman Cowan and Alderman Wilson. .
The names of these two gentlemen were then sent up to
the Court of Aldermen, and in about a quarter of an
hour a message came down announcing that the Court of
Aldermen had confirmed the choice of the Livery by
electing Alderman Cowan. This announcement was re-
ceived with loud cheering. .
The election of the other Corporate officers was then
proceeded with, and the meeting adjourned.

CITY REGISTRATION-THIS DAY

(Before Mr. Ml4.Nx.)
Mr. Hewitt, Secretary to the Reversionary Interest
Society, claimed to have his name put on the list of voters ;
but the claim was disallowed, he not being the tenant, but
merely occupying the premises as the servant of the Society.
No case of public interest occurred before Mr. Craig.
It is expected that the Revising Barristers will conclude
the revision of the lists by to-morrow, but they will return
on Thursday next, for the purpose of disposing of a few
cases that have stood over for further consideration.
