COUNTY OF MONMOUTH.

The representation of Monmouthshire has hi,.
therto been divided between the two houses of
Beaufort and Tredegar, but the votes of these nomi-
wes on the Reform Bill created an almost universal
feefigg of dissatisfaction amidst the resident country
gentlemen; a county meeting had been held in
favour of the Bill, and strong resolutions were passed
thereon, but when it wag ascertained that Lord
tUrranville Somerset would not support the prayer of
petition, arrangements were immediately made
to
displace his Lordship, in the event of a tlissolu-
tioc, and subscriptions to the amount of several
thou.i,,,nd pounds were entered into to return a
Membe? free of expense; a canvass of the county
placed tiny` success of the Reform candidate beyond
of doubt, and the struggle would
the possibi: ty
been be tween his Lordship and Sir Charles
Morgan, but t.B vote of Sir Charles on the ousted
Ceveral's motio,l at once settled the question, and
the Baronet
findiftg the field pre occupied, retired;

it then became matter of grave deliberation whether
a second Reform candidate should be proposed ; but
it was determined not to contest the county, parti-
cularly as the friends of Lord G. Somerset indus-
triously circulated that his Lordship was a convert
to the popular opinion to a very considerable extent.
Friday was the day of election, and the two
parties exerted themselves to the utmost to procure
for their favourite candidate a splendid public entry.
Lord G. Somerset made the first appearance,
headed by a band and col Our, followed by 117 horse-
men and 17 conveyances. He was kindly but not
warmly received.
The popular candidate followed, amidst the enthu-
siastic cheers of the crowd. To detail this proces-
sion would fill the columns of an ordinary paper ; it
extended two miles and a quarter in length. In the
line were 759 horsemen ; 86 carriages and phae-
tons, including several splendid turn-outs of fours;
50 flags and banners, with every variety of inscrip-
tion in favour of Reform ; trumpeters at intervals ;
three complete bands, besidescountless pedestrians.
The party was divided into divisions from the seve-
ral hundreds of the county, and it has been ascer-
tained that more than 1,000 freeholders joined in the
cavalcade. It entered the town about ten o'clock,
and numbers of the freeholders must have left their
houses son after midnight. The parties having
made the circuit of tha town, and the Shire Hall
filled to excess, the ceremony of nomination, &c.
took place.
After the chairing the freeholders retired to din-
ner. Twenty inns and public-houses were opened
by the friends of Mr. Williams, where nearly 1,800
Reformers dined. The head-quarters was the King's
Head hotel, at which house upward of 200 of the
wealth and respectability of the county sat down to
dinner at four o'clock.

There appeared to be a feeling of regret that the
streneth of the county had not been tried with the
second Reform candidate; but the exhibition of the
day will probably have the effect of making the other
Member pause before he gives further opposition to
a Bill approved of by three-fourths of the present
constituency of the county, and by nine-tenths of
the unrepresented portion thereof.

REPRESENTATION OF CORNWALL.
(From the West Briton.)

TRURO, APRIL 29.

The nomination for the county, as fixed by the
High Sheriff, took place at Bodmin yesterday. The
assemblage of yeomanry exceeded what was ever
before witnessed in Cornwall ; a great proportion of
the gentry of the county were also present. The
array of the yeomanly of Cornwall was a most im-
posing sight ; far never, in any county, was a more
respectable body of men assembled : their appear-
ance proved the intense interest they felt in the pre-
sent cri-is, and how fully the freeholders of Corn-
wall are prepared to answer to the appeal of their
patriot King, and to support the great principles of
Reform A small knot of persons, of rather doubt-
ful appearance, fixed themselves at the corner of the
hustings, on the right of the High Sheriff. We
have been assured that the greater part of them were
hired for the occasion, at half-a-crown a head, to
shout for Sir Richard Vyvyan and Lord Valletort ;
they wore the colours of the ultra-Tory candidates,
and certainly did their best to earn their wages.—
The rest of the large space in front of the Assize-
hall presented one dense mass of heads ; in the hat
of each individual appeared a laurel leaf, the em-
blem assumed by the supporters of the liberal can-
didates. The vast crowd steadily kept their ground
notwithstanding the heavy fall of rain ; about half-
past two o'clock the weather cleared up.
About one o'clock the High Sheriff, accompanied
by the candidates and a number of gentlemen, came
on the hustings. The cheers on the appearance of
Mr. Pendarves 'and Sir C. Lemon were deafening.
J. T. CORYTON, Esq., then proposed Sir Richard
Vyvyan, and was received with hooting by the vast
crowds, which his comparatively few supporters in
vain endeavoured to drown by their cheers.
The Right Hon. R. P. CAREW seconded the no-
mination. •

J. C. RASHLEIGII, Esq., proposed Mr. Pendarves,
and was received with loud cheering, intermingled
with hisses from the little knot of Anti-Reformers.

Sir W. P. CALL seconded the nomination.

F. H. RODD, Esq., proposed Lord Valletort, and
was received with a storm of hisses, which the High
Sheriff in vain endeavoured tD check.

EDWARD COLLINS, Esq , the late High Sheriff,
seconded the nomination of the Noble Lord; but
his address was interrupted by shouts of disapproba-
tion;notwithstanding the repeated appeals from the
High Sheriff to obtain him a hearing.

The Rev. Mr. WALKER, as the oldest friend of
Reform in Cornwall, had the honour to propose to
them Sir Charles Lemon.—(Vehement applause.)
The Hon. Baronet was the sen of a staunch patriot,
who had represented the county for so many years.—
(Cheers.) Sir Chilies Lemon inherited his father's
spirit and principles; he had been a Reformer dur•
ing his life, and he had proved his sincerity by sup-
porting the Reform Bill in the late Parliament.—
(Vehement cheering.)
E. BULLER, Esq., of Morvel, seconded the nomi-
nation.

Sir IL it. VYVYAN presented himself to the meet-
ing, and was received by such a storm of disappro-
bation as is is seldom witnessed. The mingled
sounds of groaning, hissing, and cries of " come
again this day six months," were almost deafening.
Though they now disgraced themselves by the cla-
mour with which they a'sailed him, the time was
not distant when they would do him justice : lse
might have been as popular as Mr. Pendarves, if he
would have have sacrificed his principh s. Before the
Duke of Wellington had gone out of power he
(Sir R. Vyvyan) had a communication with a Mem-
ber of the present Cabinet, who stated to him the
outlines of the Bill for Reform with which he fully
agreed; that Bill violated no existing right, gave
Members to large towns without disfranchising any
borough—extended the right of voting for counties
to copyholders, and provided for lessening, the ex-
penses of contested elections. He believed Minis-
ters did not wish their Bill to pass—and made it
violent that it might be rejected.
Mr. PENDARYES said the great question now at
issue was, Reform or no Reform. From the peti-
tions he had received from Cornwall, before and
after the introduction of the Bill, he believed a great
majority of the inhabitants were favourable to it.—
(Cries of " We are, we are," and cheers.) The
principle of the Bill was to do away with rotten and
nomination boroughs, give representatives to large
towns, and additional ones to counties; to secure
the agricultural as well as the commercial interests,
by making property the basis of representation, and
giving influence to the resident gentry which they
did not possess; and, without injuring any party, to
extend the franchise to upwards of 500,000 addi-
tional individuals in the middle ranks.—(Cheers.)
Lord VALLETORT Was received with groans,
hisses, and cries of " Off, off." He stated that he
opposed the Reform Bill, from a conviction that if
carried it would involve the country in ruin ; but
he admitted that some Reform must now be granted,
and therefore he would No longer oppose a limited
measure.
Mr. CHARLES LEMON was received with loud and
long.continued plaudits. He was asked whether he
would not pledge himself to the details of the Re-
form Bill. He would not pledge himself to the de-
tails, but lie would do so to the principle ; the do-
tails might be matter of anangement, but the
principle—the disfranchisement of insignificant and
nomination boroughs—admitted of no compromise.
The HIGH SHERIFF now called for a show of
hands : about one hundred were held up for Sir
Richard Vyvyan, and the same number for Lord
Valletort. The show of hands for Mr. Pendarves
and Sie Charles Lemon was immense. The High
Sheriff declared that the choice of the freeholders
had fallen upon the latter gentlemen.
A poll was demanded for Sir R. Vyvyan and
Lord Valletort. The announcement was followed by
immense cheering.
Sir R. VYVYAN said, as allusion had been made to
a sum of money it was supposed that be and Lord

Valletort had received from a Committee in London,
he wished to know if Mr. Pendarves had not re•
ceived, or was promised, a sum of money from
another Committee ?

Mr. PENDARVES said, he had been told by his
noble relative, Lord Eliot, that his opponents had
clubbed purses, and raised 20,0001. for the contest ;
and that if they could not turn him out of the county,
they would make him spend money. As to the
question asked, he had not received airy money ;
but if he was to be borne down by the stock-purse
of the aristocracy, he had no doubt he might receive
some from the quarter alluded to.—(" Hear, hear,"
from Sir Richard Vyvyan.)
The poll commences at Lostwithiel at ten o'clock
on Tuesday morning.

MONTGOMERYSHIRE.
Thursday the nomination of candidates for Mont-
gomeryshire took place at Montgomery. The can-
didates, the Right Hon. C. W. Wynn and Joseph
Hayes Lyon, Esq., were escorted into town by vast
numbers of frceholdtr4.
Viscount CLIVE nominated Mr. C. W. Wynn,

Mr. PUGH seconded the nomination.
Mr. OWEN, after a lengthy speech, in which he
entered into the question of Reform, concluded with
aying—" Let me entreat you, my friends, to re-
collect that if this Bill be lost, and the Ministry go
out, there is an end to your hopes of Reform for
many years; therefore, let me beg to propose us a
fit person to represent you, Joseph Hayes Lyon,
Esq., who will pledge himself to support the king
and your rights, and to vote fsr Reform ; and I am
confident you will support him."—(Cheers.)
Mr. PUGH, of Bryollnward, seconded the no-
mination.

.......
The Right Hon. C. W. W. WYNN then presented
hitnself.—The second reading of the Reform Bill
was carried by my vote ; had I wished to destroy it,
that vote given the other way would have done so;
but I felt it to be my duty to amend the Bill, and
make it as perfect as it could be. lam willing to
support Reform.—(Cheers.) I have always sup-
ported Reform.—(Laughter.) I have voted for
disfranchising. corrupt boroughs. [ have voted for
extending the right of election to large towns. I
am willing to support the reduction of rotten
boroughs, and to give their franchise to some other
places ; yet not to take the right away from them
altogether, but to form them into districts, like the
Welsh boroughs; and whether the Reform Bill be
introduced into the next Parliament or not, some
such Reform I shall iytroduce; but I am most un-
willing to deprive any man of a right he already
possesses. I will do my best to render the measure
of Reform safe, secure, and honourable.

Jos. HAYES LYON, Esq.—l present myself as a
candidate for the representation of this county, not
because of any presumed personal qualifications, but
because I have been selected by my friends as a
gentleman willing to support Reform according to
the Ministerial measure. To do that, gentlemen, I
distinctly pledge myself.

The HIGH SHERIFF then called for a show of
hands, when he declared the greatest number to be
in favour of M. Lyon_ The announcement was
received with tremendous cheering and confusion;
and the polling commenced shortly after.

A' OR THALLERT ON, MAY 7.

,Tueiday last being the day appointed for electing
two Members of Parliament for Northallerton, the
day was ushered in with ringing of bells; but, alas,
with no other demonstration of joy. Every face
bore an aspect of deep gloom, or betrayed manly in-
dignation at the approaching farce. Honoured with
the company of some ultra Tories, W. S. Lascelles,
Esq., and Sir J. P. Beresford, were elected to mis-
represent in Parliament the borough of Northaller-
ton. On the morning of the election, the word
Reform met the eye, or assailed the ear, at every
step. Not a man even could be found to take down
the flag, with the word " Reform" upon it, which
some one had attached to the ridge of the toll-
booth during the night. The population were to
be seen moving about in crowds, with orange
ribands at their breasts, and the drapers' shops were
most tastefully decorated with a profusion of orange
coloured silks, calicos, ribands, &c. After consider-
able delay our representatives ventured out. Eight
poor fellows, who had been promised a guinea each,
and a bottle of wine, raised Sir John and his col-
league on their shoulders, and held them np to the
scorn and ridicule of man, woman, and child. The
Northallerton band refused to accompany them, and
they were actually led on by an old lame fiddler.
The hissing and groaning exceeded any thing of the
kind that ever occurred in Northallerton. On their
arrival at the inn, from which they usually addressed
the populace, the Members left the chairs and dis-
appeared. When deserted by the reformers, Mr.
Lascelles seemed fairly ashamed, and rested his chin
on his breast. As for Sir John, he extorted a sort
of frantic laugh, which, after all, made him
appear the better of the two. A company
even c.,uld not at first h obtained to eat the
election dinner; and Sir John was seen on a
small grey pony canvwsing from door to door for a
dinner party. In this, however, he failed, though
he easily caused himself to be returned as a Mem-
ber Gf Parliament. At last Sir John's compli-
ments were sent to apprentice lads who were taken
away from behind the counter, to eat up the dinner
which honest men scorned to taste. The beha-
viour of the 500 operatives from the neighbourhood
was beyond all praise. The 'Members surely could
not for one moment be put in bodily fear, though
surrounded by upwards of 1,500 Euglishmen, who
dared to think for themselves. At twelve o'clock
our .500 noble-minded neighbours formed themselves
into a circle near the toll-booth : their band played
" God save the King." Captain Ross, R. N., with
his characteristic generosity, supplied them with
two barrels of ale, and in an hour the inhabitants
-of Northallerton subscribed 3/. or 4/. for their re-
freshment. At two o'clock they marched out of
town in the greatest order, with flags and music,
having merely shewn their political sentiments by
their presence, without even expressivg a wish to
commit any act of indiscretion, though their power
was so formidable. The Members presented them
with 10/., which they have magnanimously returned.

presentation for the county of Dorset to place__

DORCHESTER, MAY 6.—The nomination of
this day. At twelve o'cicck the meeting.
at the county hall, and was almos.
ad-
journed to an ancient encampment ca
was just without the town. A row of waggons
ar-
ranged for the High Sheriff and the several candi
dates, with their friends. The scene was unprece-
dented, dented, and highly interesting in its character, the
assembly being composed of at least 10,000 personae,
t edPiaottettitYbtry,
arranged in regular order, each company from
band
k several towns keeping distinct, and having a band of
heir own. The Bridport, Pool, Blandford, and Port-
land voters were the most striking. Mr. Portman
was proposed by Mr. Farquharson, and seconded
by Mr. D. 0. P. Okeden. Mr. Bankes was pro-
posed by Mr. Frampton, and seconded by Mr •
Hanham. Mr. Calcraft was proposed by Sir W.
Oglander, and seconded by Sir John Smith. The
business of the meeting proceeded very amicably
for some time, although the assembly seemed deter-
mine) not to suffer either Mr. Bankes or his
friends to be heard. The peace was, however,
at length most grievously broken by a band of
about 190 ruffians, with " Bankes" in their hats,
who appeared to have been hired and armed for the
occasion. These made repeated attacks upon the quiet
auditors, until the indignation of the company became
so much excited as to cause a simultaneous effort by
those nearest these ruffians, to drive them from the
field, which object, after several most desperate
struggles, was accomplished. As soon as peace:i
was thus restored, the High Sheriff most /It's"'
pronounced the meeting dissolved, and left the
hustings ; on which Mr. Calcraft briefly addressed
the assembled freeholders, and shortly
afterwards
left the ground, as did also Messrs. Portman
and
Bankes—the latter with some precipitation. Thus
ended one of the proudest days which Dorchester
has ever yet seems—a meeting composed of at least

10,000 persons, out of whom not abeFve 300 or
400, at most, were friendly to Mr. Bankes.—
Salisbury Journal.
DKNBIGHSHIItE ELECTION.-WREXIIAN, MAY 6.
Sir Watkin Williams Wynn has been once more returned
for the county ; but .he has only been returned upon a
distinct pledge being given by him from the hustings,
" that he would vote for such an efficient Reform as
would satisfy the county." He at the same time de-
clared, upon his honour, that he did not vote for General
Gascoyne's motion for the purpose of defeating the Bill,
and that he did not know, nor believe, that it was made
for that purpose. The general opinion now is, that in
case the county is not satisfied with his conduct when the
Bill is again before the House, he will resign ; and if he
does not, the feeling in favour of Reform has now become
so strong in this county, that he will not have the
slightest chance of success.

DUBLIN CITY ELECTION.

SECOND DA Y 0 MAY 7.

The polling commenced this morning at ten o'clock,
and proceeded with great spirit. The Court-house and
all the avenues leading to it were crowded almost to suffo-
cation during the entire day, and the electors in the inte-
rest of the Lord Mayor and Mr. Perrin were loudly
cheered, after registering their suffrages in favour of Re-
form, while those who voted for the Recorder and Mr.
Moore were treated with vociferation§ equally loud,
though of a less flattering nature. The polling was much
impeded in its progress, by the innumerable frivolous
and vexatious objections take❑ by the enemy to the votes
of the honest and independent freemen and freeholders
who supported their King and Reform. Notwithstand-
this paltry ruse, which was adopted merely for the pur-
pose of saving time, and giving to the supporters of cor-
ruption a respectable appearance on the day's poll, the
polling concluded at about five o'clock, and in a short time
Mr. Sheriff Halahan announced the poll to stand thus:—
For Mr. Perrin 217
For the Lord Mayor - - - 216
For Mr. Moore . . - - 124
For Mr. Recorder 124
Majority in favour Mr. Perth'
For the Lord Mayor . - . - 9:2
The announcement was received by the assembled elec-
tors with the most deafening plaudits, and with every de-
monstration of enthusiasm in the good cause.
Mr. PERRIN came forward, and was loudly cheered.
He congratulated the electors on their having achieved so
great a triumph as to place the reformers at the head of
the poll, with a majority so gratifying as that announced
by the returning officer. It was for him (Mr. P.) to an-
nounce to the electors of Dublin, that the real majority
in favour of Reform was 150, as upwards of 60 votes had
been recorded to which frivolous objections had been taken,
and which were yet to be disposed of before the assessor.
The Learned Gentleman concluded a short address, which
was loudly cheered throughout, by calling o❑ the electors
to rally on Monday to the poll.
The Loan MAYOR also returned thanks, and was also
enthusiastically greeted.
Mr. MoonE presented himself, but could not obtain a
hearing, despite of every effort made in his behalf. After
several vain attempts he at length withdrew.
Mr. Shaw did nut appear at all.
'I he SHERIFFS then adjourned the poll to Monday.
The freeholders to a man are voting for Perrin and the
Lord Mayor, and the freemen are divided between the four
candidates.

It is confidently anticipated that Tuesday night will ter-
minate this contest, by adding another glorious triumph
over the faction to those already achieved.

UNIVER SjT Y.
The result of this election stamps with indelible disgrace
the electors, and we turn to it with mingled feelings of
disgust and sympathy. The scene was, as is usual on all
such occasions, a most uproarious one, so much so that
it was only by a threat of reading the Riot Act, and there-
by making the refractory liable to seven years' transporta-
tion, that the ferocious violence of the supporters of St.
Lefroy, as he is called, could be subdued. We believe the
Riot Act was actually read, but in consequence of the
confusion and uproar we cannot assert it as a fact.
Mr. Lefroy was put in nomination by the VICE-PRO-
VOST, seconded by Mr. CALLIAN (a Scholar); and Mr.
Crampton was proposed by Dr. SADLEIR, and seconded
by Mr. BYRNE.
Mr. Lefroy addressed the assembly at great length, but
when Mr. Crampton came forward he was assailed by
every demonstration of opposition.
At this period a scene of confusion ensued that baffles
description. Sticks were actually engaged, and one Rev.
Fellow was most roughly handled and ejected by force from
the Hall.

At six o'clock the polling cloed, and Mr. Lefroy was
declared duly elected, by a majority of eight. On the re-
sult being known to the townsmen, they assailed the Mem-
bers of the University indiscriminately with a shower of
stones, and with some difficulty a general rencountre was
prevented, by forcing the students within the walls of
" Alma Mater," and closing the gates, while a party of
police dispersed the assembled populace. The friends of
the exclusive system, of boroughtnongering, and of cor-
ruption, consummated their disgrace by drawing their re-
presentative in his carriage to his residence. We have no
doubt there are many sore limbs after the day, but we did
not hear of any serious accident.

SCOTLAND.

COUNTY VOTERS.-The forowing are the numbers of
the freeholders in the different counties of Scotland ; it will
be seen how small a share they form of those to whom the
operation of Lord John Russell's bill would give the fran-
chise :—Aherdeen, 139 ; Argyle, 114 ; Ayr, 211 ; Banff,
52 ; Berwick, 147 ; Caithness, 46 ; Cromarty, 19 ; Dum-
barton, 71 ; Dumfries, 82 ; Edinburgh, 173 ; Elgin and
Moray, 33 ; Fife, 236 ; Forfar, 120 ; Haddington, 105 ;
Inverness, 81 ; Kincardine, 32 ; Kinross, 21 ; Kircud-
bright, 166 ; Linlithgow, 68 ; Lanark, 221 ; Orkney,
42; Perth, 239 ; Peebles, 46; Renfrew, 143 ; Roxburgh,
149 ; Ross, 82 ; Selkirk, 50 ; Stirling, 132 ; Sutherland,
20 ; and Wigton, 70 ; making a total of 2,963 freeholders
who return the 30 Scotch county members, averaging a re-
presentative to every 93 freeholders.
LANAnizsamtc.—ln this county there seems to have
existed sotne very fixed design to carry things with a high
hand. The yeomanry cavalry, composed in a great part
of the immediate adherents of Lord Dauglas, or of the ad-
herents of the anti-reform freeholders in his interest, have
been ordered to assemble at Lanark, two days before the
county election. This, we suppose, is preparatory to a
repetition of the outrages at the last election ; when the
Tory tenantry and connexions marched in from the country,
and so occupied the town, as to give the show of popular
favour to the unpopular candidate.— Glaspow Chronicle.

PROCESSIONS.—The Scotch papers recommended the
formation of processions of the inhabitants uf the counties,
to come into the shire towns on the days fixed for the
elections, in order to show to the freeholders that the inha-
bitants of Scotland are all favourable to the Reform Bill,
and opposed to the present sham representation of that
country. The recommendation will be generally acted
upon—we hope, peaceably.

HOW TO TREAT THE ANTD•REFORIIIE RS•••••AII excellent
letter, signed an Old Reformer," appears in the Glas-
gow Chronicle on the subject of the 13111. It recommends
the publication of the names of all who support anti-reform
candidate. It proceeds thus:—" This is no time to trifle,
when Dukes subscribe 250,0001. to defeat Reform, and
prolong the pernicious system of a few lordlings over King
and people. The names of the town councils, and of the
freeholders in contested places, should be published, that
you may instantly form associations of non-consumption
against your enemies—you have only to say that the beer
of a boroughmonger sours upon your stomach—that his
tea is .musty—his soaps st:nks, and his candles burn dim,
which would soon show those that are servile in spirit
that they cannot with impunity vote against the clear in-
teresrs and just rights of the people. Only retaliate upon
the boroughniongers, and all their aiders and abettors, their
own conduct to your friend the King—refuse the supplies,
—and a dissolution of the conledetacy against reform fol-
lows of cows .."

LINCOLN, MAY 9.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

hasten to inform you that Sir A. W. Ing.lby,
Bart., and the Hon. C. A. Pelham, were this day elected
Members of Parliament for this large county (and are
now being chaired), without opposition, and both are
staunch Reformers. A threat was held out that a man
of contrary political opinions would be nominated. But
no ! an Anti Reformer would not have had the least sup-
port beyond his personal friends. The feeling hi favour
of Reform (to be proposed by Ministers) in this county is
most enthusiastic and extensive,—so it is in the city of
Lincoln, notwith.tanding an Anti• Reform Member has
got in, which was owing more to accident and his good
luck, than the choice of either voters or inhabitants of the
place. If a third candidate had been in the field soon
enough, Colonel Sibthorpe would not have been returned.

'TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The poll has just closed, and the friends of Re-
form could not desire a more complete victory than they
have gained this day. The most active exertions hive
been used in this University and neighbourhood by the
Clergy, the Colleges compelling all whom they could use
authority over to vote for Lord Norreys (Anti-Reformist),
and the country parsons also using every exertion by their
pens, and any other methods, fair or foul, to influence
any voter to serve Lord Norreys. Many tradesmen in
Oxford and servants at Colleges have received intimation
from these pious divines, thstunless they voted for my
Lord they would never again be employed by them. Per-
haps no one could have carried his authority to a more
arbitrary pitch than a large beaded (not wise beaded)
Fellow of Magdalen College, who about a month since
sent up an Anti-Reform petition from the neighbourhood
of Oxford, which was signed by himself and nine others,
parishioners, whom he had compelled to sign it, assuring
them that Reform would bring on revolution, and that
their property would all be taken from them. This peti-
tion was presented to the House of Commons with all the
form of one of great consequence.
This day the election has been carried on with more
acrimony than ever remembered by the oldest inhabitant;
hundreds of the lowest order of blackguards have paraded
the streets the whole day. At the nomination, which
took place this morning, warcely a syllable could be heard.
The rabble in the pay of Lord Norreys got possession of
the Court, and interrupted the proceedings by vociferating
" Norreys for ever !" with voices like Stentor. At the close
of the poll this evening Mr. Harcourt and Mr. Weyland
severally addressed the freeholders from the hustings ; but
not a word could be heard of Lord Norreys—he was not
allowed to say a sylla.b'e, and in the course of a few minutes
such a scene of riot and fighting occur d as seldom is
witnessed. The flags of Mr. Harcourt's party had been

CUMBERLAND ELECTION.

WHITEHAVEIV, 31Ar S.

THIRD DAY.

(FROM ♦ CORRESPONDENT.)

The poll closed this evening at five o'clock. The atlip'
bets were declared as follows:

Sir James Graham - . 944
Mr. Blamire 917
Lord Lowther - - - 453
The slow progress of the poll is to he accouated for
the frivolous and vexatious objections offered by the age°
of Lord Lowther to the voters for the Reform candidates;
their object evidently being delay. Sir James Graham,
in his speech at the close of the poll, said, " It was no 4
cl..ar that the contest was merely vexatious, and for thl,
purpose of putting the freeholders to trouble and expect e;
and if it should be continued, he would see what they eioulJ
say at Appleby to this. If Cumberland could return foul
Reformers, he (Sir J. G.) could not see why Westmore
land should not return two."

Lord Lowther was absent, having set off to Carlisle tl
mot fling ; and a general report prevailed that he would I
return.

There is no doubt whatever of the success of the Refor%
candidates; but the contest may be long and arduous, 9/
his Lordship has given it out that he will poll every WO
iu the county.
