TO THE FREEHOLDERS OF TIIE COUNTY OF

GLANIORGAN.

GF.TiTLIM ENt
INIPRESSED with the belief that the grow-
ing wealth and importance of the County will at
no distant period induce the Legislature to grant to
Glamorganshire a second County Member, I hasten most
respectfully to acquaint you, that it is my intention, when-
ever that Addition is made, to solicit the proud Distinc-
tion of becoming one of your Representatives in Parlia-
ment.
Brought up in habits of business, and feeling from the
long residence, and from the attachments and other notions
of private life, a deep interest in the prosperity and hap-
piness of your County, should I be so fortunate as to ob-
tain your support and favour, I pledge myself to dis-
, charge with honesty and independence the important trust
~!posed in me, and to give the most anxious and unremit-
, hug attention to your interests, and to the various duties
4,1'
i 4of your Representation. s
A regard for the repose of the County requires that I
should abstain from a personal solicitation of your indi-
vidual support, till the addition of your County Repre-
, sentation shall have received the sanction of the Legis-
lature.
Should any other gentlemen, however, commence an
earlier canvass I shall then be found, though reluctantly,
to take further measures.
In the mean time I beg leave to assure you, Gentle-
men, that I am, with the greatest respect,
Your most obedient humble servant,
JOHN NICHOLL, Jun.
28, Curzon-street, April 22, 1831.
P.S. By last night's post I sent the preceding letter
to a confidential friend in the country ; but desirous not to
create any premature excitement in the County, I re-
quested it might not he circulated unless some other gen-
tleman notified his intention of soliciting your suffrages.
Having heard that Mr. Dilwyn has already declared him-
self a Candidate, I cannot any longer delay respectfully
apprising you of my intentions.

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY ELECTION.
ORD PALMERSTON'S COMMIT-
■ a TEE meets daily at the UNION HOTEL, Cock-
spur-street,
The Right Hon. CrIARLES GRANT in the Chair.
It is requested that all communications tespecting the
Election may be addressed to the Chairman at the Com-
mittee Room.

and purifying a character, that no man can rmbari,
in it, without feeling himself a wise and a better
patriot.

Mr. WILLIAM BROUGHAM has, we perceive by at,
advertisement, announced himself as candidate fee
the representation for the borough of Southwark.
This gentleman, we should apprize our readers, is
brother to the LORD CHANCELLOR ; brother to that
enlightened lawyer, consummate statesman, and pro-
found philosopher, who has done more to advance
the intellect of his country than any Englishman wl,o
ever existed. We anticipate the gratification wit),
which the liberal and intelligent Electors of South wank
will receive the announcement of this high honour.
We anticipate the pride—the honest pride—they wi
experience, on learning that a member of the illus-
trious family of BROUGHAM—of that family whit'
has identified itself with Reform in all its varietie,
—has expressed a desire to associate his name wit,
theirs ; to become the chosen guardian of their lon
rights and privileges ; to plead for them ; to batthe
for them ; and to conquer for them. We anticipate
the energy with which they will rush to the poll;
the confidence with which they will give their votes;
the determination with which they will enforce their
independence. Electors of Southwark, Ave will not
insult your judgment by supposing for an install•
that Mr. WILLIAM BROUGHAM will be unsuccessful
in his canvass. The thing is impossible. His bro-
ther's name alone is a " tower of strength." Men-
tion but the word " BROUGHAM," and in that one
word, you enlist a host of arguments in his favour.

We request the particular attention of our readers,
of those who oppose as well as those who advocate
Reform, to the disgraceful scenes which took place
yesterday in both Houses of Parliament. The
House of Loa's in particular, the highest court of
judicature in the realm, was degraded by an exhibition
of brutal lawlessness unparalleled even in the nnal-
of St. Giles's. The KING was all but insulted to
his face ; the majesty of the Constitution was
laughed at and defied ; the language of polite life
—of gentlemen--of Peers—was exchanged for the
coarse dialect of Billingsgate. A viler display of
mob ruffianism was never seen or heard of. And yet
the men who have thus incurably committed them-
selves, are the hereditary Legislators, whom the
country is called upon to look up to, as beings tran-
scendantly wise and pa►riotic ! Shame on them !
They have shewn that both in dignity and discre-
tion they are beneath the lowest mob that ever
shouted, and bellowed, and gesticulated on Spa-
fields or Kennington-common. We do not say
this of all the Peers. GOD forbid ! There were
many, very many, honourable exceptions ; but we
will say of the faction, that it yesterday disgraced
itself in a way that cannot fail to alienate for ever
the respect and affections of the country. In the
Lower House, a scene of nearly equal uproar took
place. The Anti-Reformers were literally all
frantic, and, to an inexperienced spectator, must
have looked like so many lunatics just escaped from
Bedlam.

Mr. R. GRANT, we are happy to assure our
readers, is secure in the representation of Norwich.
So also is his liberal colleague, Mr. HUDSON GUR-
NEY. This is an auspicious commencement of the
great work.

It is proposed, we understand, to erect a public
monument in one of the most conspicuous places in
the metropolis, in honour of his most gracious MA-
JESTY, WILLIAM the Fourth, the saviour of his
country, the idol of his subjects. Such a proposal need
only to be known, to be univer,ally approved of.

Our letter received this morning from Newcastle-
upon-Tyne should be read with attention. It is
deeply important.

We are authorised to state that there is no truth
whatever in the report which we inserted yesterday
in The Sun, that Ministers had tendered their re-
signation. They did no such thing. They never
dreamed of any such thing. The noble feel-
ings and prompt decision of the KING ren-
dered any such step superfluous. IN'o sooner
did his MAJESTY learn of the vote in the House of
Commons stopping the Supplies, and of another
trick which was intended to be played off in the
House of Lords, than he at once made up
his mind to prorogue Parliament in person,
and ordered the carriages to be invantly got ready.
Thus the firmness of one individual—and that indi-
vidual is our most gracious, most beloved SOVE-
REIGN !—has defeated the faction, and saved the
country.

A general illumination is expected to take place
early in the ensuing week. It cannot be too general.

A determination to illuminate is abroad, in
consequence of the noble conduct of Ministers, and the
royal conduct of his MAJESTY. Some districts are to be
illuminated this evening—others on Monday ; and assuredly
there can be no objection to each district making its own
choice, in point of time, for such a patriotic exhibition ;
hut would it not be better to have one grand and general
illumination, instead of partial demonstrations of joy?—
We do not mention this in order to cool the ardour of our
fellow-citizens ; but simply with the view that the illumi-
nation may begeneral and effective.—Morning Advertiser.
REPRESENTATION or KENT.—In conse-
quence of the prevailing opinion that the Reform Bill
would be carried without a dissolution of Parliament, the
freeholders have openly delayed commencing operations to
procure the return of a Reform candidate. Preliminary
arrangements are, however, made, and no effort will be
omitted to eject Sir E. KNATCHBULI., should he present
himself to the county as an opponent to the Reform Bill.
(Sir EDWARD has signed the Anti-Reform declaration.)—
