them praise-for consistency, or deny the fact that the
constituency of that country have given the lie to all

above 400 wounded to Estella. Escalera has a very fine
corps under his orders, and occupies the environs of Tu-
della. The Portuguese legion, after the victory, was to
enter Vittoria. Half of the corps Ullibare has advanced
to Logrono. Thus you see that the Ebro is perfectly

their ominous predictions of evil from the extension
of the representative franchise. Till the year 1532,
the people of that country knew not from expe-
rience what that franchise was ; and those who did
not know the character of the people, or who could
belie them for their own selfish purposes, foretold that,
like emancipated slaves, they would use their new-
born freedom only for the destruction of themselves
or their rulers. Never was prophecy more completely
falsified ; and never did nation raise its moral and poli-
tical character so much in the eyes of all impartial
observers. They are now only for the third time exer-
cising one of the common rights of the British Con-
stitution, and the noble and independent manner
it
which they act, shows how well they appreciate(
their duty at the very commencement. They sen
to the first Reformed Parliament, as they sent to
the second, a large proportion—fully more than two-
thirds—of Reform Members, none of them either
red-hot Republicans, or Tory-Radicals, or abettors
of such monsters as Don MIGUEL or Don CARLOS.
They sent, it is true, one individual, whose extrava-
gant notions of what he calls religious duty cast a re-
flection on his countrymen ; and they also sent two or
three trimmers, but the fate of Sir A. AGNEW in
Wigtonshire, of Sir G. MURRAY in Perth, and of
Mr. A. JOHNSTONE, a respected elder of the Kirk, in
Fife, shows that they are not to be insulted with im-
punity, and that the most conscientious discharge of
religious duty, or the most meritorious services in
the field of battle, can make no atonement even
for political desertion. Notwithstanding all tho loud
outcry raised about danger to the Established
Church the increase of Popery the baneful in-
fluence of that arch-Catholic—O'CONNELL—over
the MELBOURNE Ministry, and still more the
violent denunciations made against it by a vast
majority both in the General Assembly and out of
it, the people still remain faithful to their trust, and
are recording by vast majorities their increased confi-
dence in representatives of that very description whom
they sent to Parliament in all the heat and enthusiasm
of victory. Never was triumph more signal, and never
did people by moral and political consistency give such
a blow to man that can get to power only by bribery,
intimidation, and the most wicked falsehoods. Nobly
as England has behaved in nearly all the large consti-
tuencies, she has failed in many instances, not so much
from the fault of the great body of the people, as from
the system—from the impure leaven still left in many of
the old boroughs, and from the baneful effect of the
fifty pound clause on tenants at will, and consequently
at the mercy of their Lordships. Sir R. PEEL may
yet boast that he has a large minority ; but he must se-
cretly feel a sense of degradation that it has been ob-
tained by such means, and that the vast mass of the
independent, thinking, and upright electors in the three
kingdoms are directly opposed to him. We wish him
oy of his present position.

At the close of the first day's Poll for the Wes
Riding of Yorkshire, the numbers stood thus—

Lord Morpeth .
Sir G. Strickland .
Mr. Wortley .

10,442
10,097
9,548

That the Tory should gain upon the Reformers in
the second day is not a very likely thing—that he
should gain to the extent of 550 votes is next to a
miracle ; but as miracles are not, in these latter times,
wrought even to promote a good cause, much less to
favour a bad one, we may take it for granted that Lord
MORPETH and Sir G. STRICKLAND are the Members
for adistrict containing the most numerous, and, we may
add, the most intelligent constituency in the empire. The
west-11 iding has thus supplies] fourteen good men to
the good cause ; while only three impostors have been
able, with all their arts—by hoisting false colours—by
bribery—by intimidation--to smuggle themselves into
the representation.

LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY

We have received since yesterday no intelligence
from Scotland of any contested election having been de-
cided there with the exception of Peebleshire, where
the Tory has got in by a majority of 10. In this
county there is, however, at all events, no loss. The
state of the poll for Selkirkshire indicated at one sta-
tion a small majority in favour of the Duke of Buc-
CLEUGH'S nominee ; but this is owing to the mush-
room votes which have sprung up on his Grace's
estates in copious abundance, and which will eventually
go for nothing. Mr. Loci', a good Liberal, has been
returned for the Kirkwall district of boroughs, and Mr.
HOWARD, a Whig, for Sutherlandshire. In Kincar-
dineshire and Berwickshire the former Members have
been returned without opposition.

The Irish elections arc.proceeding with great vigour.
At Dublin O'CONNELL had got to the head of the
poll, and HUTTON was within one of being next to
him, on Thursday night. There is not the least doubt
that yesterday would place them far in advance of their
opponents. A vote has been gained at Carrickfergus,
by the ousting of the Tory KIRKE, and the substitu-
tion of the Reformer RENNIE ; while the state of
affairs generally, throughout Ireland, looks most pro-
misingly for the QUEEN and the Constitution.

The Paris papers of Thursday, the whole of which
we have received, contain no news save the little that
can be gleaned from the annexed extracts. We pre-
sume our readers are indifferent to the prognostications
of the Parisian journalists respecting the political
complexion of the election returns in England. The
latest of the subjoined telegraphic despatches are de-
cidedly unfavourable to the PRETENDER :---.

" BORDEAUX, AUG. 2.—The Pretender, after having
ordsred and commenced his movement towards the Cinca,
returned again in the direction of Daroca. According to
accounts from Saragossa of the 30th he was in the environs
of Izuesa and Monforte."

" BORDEAUX, AUG. 1,1, P.M.--I learn by sea, from
Santander, that on the 28th ult. Castor entered that pro-
vince at the head of 2,400 wen, and was at Carriedo.
Some troops had left Santander to watch his movements,
and four battalions were expected from St. Sebastian to
contend with him. They write from Pampeluna, on the
27th, that the expedition under Zariategui, composed of
seven battalions of infantry, and two squadrons of horse,
positively passed the Ebro on the 22d, at Piedra Lata,
taking the direction of Santa Casilda. Generals Alcala
and Escalera were in march, and were to unite on the 26th
at Bellarada and pursue this expedition, the probable ob-
ject of which is to draw off a part of the troops which are
in pursuit of Don Carlos. The mail from Saragossa failed
us yesterday, and I know nothing new as to the march of
the Pretender, except that on the frontier be was said to
be indisposed at Cantavieja, where he appears to have
assembled all his forces."

" BORDEAUX, AUG. 1, HALF-PAST FIVE, T,M.—They
write from Saragossa, on the 29th ult., that Don Carlos has
made a move with all his forces from the side of Canis, in
the direction of the Ebro ; and that Oraa is following him
with his troops."
" NARBONNE, AUG. 2, HALF•PAST FOUR, A.m.—The
Baron de Meer, with 600 infantry and 300 horse, has
forced the passage of Capsacosta, and reached Campredon.
Urbistondo was on the 21st at a short distance from Ribes.
On the 22d there was still numerous bands in the environs
of Valencia. The Pretender was on the 19th at Rubiclos,
with the Navarrese and Cabrera. They write from Bar-
celona, on the 28th, that Tristani was still in the environs
of Molina del Rey, laying the country under contribution."
PAMPELUNA, JULY 27.—(Private Correspondence of
the Constitutionnel.)—" We receive the official news that
Espartero and Oraa are advancing towards Cantaveija
with the fixed intention of attacking the Carlists ; the force
of these two corps exceed 18,000 men. Buerens, with
8,000 excellent troops, is at Blancas. The troops of Da-
ragossa Segorba, and a part of the division of Nogueras,
keep in check the bands of Castille.
" The affair of Hero, in which the Portuguese legion of
Das Antes performed prodigies of valour, cost the enemy
250 men, according to the confession of the Carlists them-
selves ; a great part of this corps has retired into Navarre,
and the other part dispersed has joined the bands of Reyo.
The Calla Colonel, Antonio Urnea, has brought back

guarded.
" General Jaurreguy writes to the Viceroy that he is
marching from St. Sebastian to repulse the Carlists, who
have advanced in the line of Santander, and that he .will
then come to the Arga, to act in concert with Iriarte
against Estella."
(From another private letter.)
HUESCA, JULY 28.-" I send you some passages of a re-
port of our political chief :-' On the 26th: he says, Don
Carlos was still at Cantavieja with 4,500 men, including
the garrison. The remainder of the expedition, reckoning
the bands of Cabrera and Tena, may amount to 7,500
men, and occupies Monte Santo, Mota, and las Mates. The
Infant Don Sebastian and Villa Real are at Castello. The
faction is a prey to anarchy ; the soldiers have loudly de-
clared against any attempt the object of which should not
be to bring them back to their own country, Navarre, and
the Biscayan provinces. It is by encouraging this idea that
the Pretender has succeeded in hindering them from dis-
persing. Half of the inhabitants of Cantavieja have
abandoned that town to take refuge at Moulla Canes and
Venaros. I am every moment in expectation of receiving
news of a decisive action.' " -The Political Chief, Rivas.
-Constitutionnel.
A Paris Morning Journal has the following, under the
head of Naples :-
" The death of the Viceroy of Sicily is not officially an-
nounced, but the situation of that island induces the fear
of a revolution similar to that which took place there se-
venteen years ago. Two Neapolitan vessels of war lying in
the roads of Palermo had their cables lately cut, and were
near being lost under Mount Palermo, where the crews were
fired upon and compelled to embark with the loss of several
killed and wounded.
" The banner of St. Rosalie, the patron saint of Pa-
lermo, was carried through the streets, the populace cry-
ing out, as it went along, Death to the foreigners! Li-
berty to Sicily !"The country people flocked into the city,
which gave rise to a report that Palermo was in the posses-
sion of banditti.
" An insurrectionary committee has bee'n formed at Syra-
cuse. It was said at Messina on the 16th the people of
the interior had proclaimed a sort of Constitution, and that
several members of the high nobility and of the old Sicilian
Parliament were at the head of the movement.
" The Neapolitan Government has sent off some ves-
sels with troops on board, but the Ministers know well,
that if the Sicillians choose chiefs for themselves, this force
will be of no use, as it cannot penetrate into the interior.
Sicily has for a long time manifested great discontent,
and it is not with a few frigates and battalions the island
can be subdued."
The Journal de Paris repeats, that the Emperor of
Russia has resolved on giving a distinct government to
Poland. Its organization, however, would not be the same
as that which existed previous to the insurrection of 1830 ;
still-it would be independent of the general administration
of the Russian empire: A viceroy would shortly be in-
stalled at Warsaw.
An Italian Journal recounts in the following manner the
death of Cardinal Sommaglia :-
" The Cardinal had fallen ill in consequence of great
grief. He had a syncope, was believed to be dead, and his
servants hastened to have the body opened and embalmed
before putrefaction. The surgeon's knife had penetrated to
the lungs, when the Cardinal's heart was perceived still to
beat. He recovered animation at the moment, and had
force enough to repel with his hand the knife of the sur-
geon. But it was too late-the wound was mortal." ,
