CAMBRID GESHIRE.

The following circular has been sent from Mr.
Adeane's committee to the friends of that gentleman :
4' COM.MITTEE Room, FRIDAY, FOUR O'CLOCK.—Mr.
Adeane takes the earliest opportunity of informing you that
Lord Charles Manners has resigned, and of thanking you
for your exertions in his favour."

Thus has the cause of Reform triumphed here, in
the certain return of Mr. Adeane, and Lord G. F.
Osborne, both reformers—defeating the hitherto all-
powerful interest of the Rutland family.

NORFOLK
(From the Norwich Mercury.)
During the past week there have been vague
rumours of an opposition, but there was no visible
manifestation of any such intention. At nine
o'clock on Friday, the supporters of Coke and
Folkes met as usual at Mile-cross, and about ten
the candidates entered the city at the head of a
body of yeomanry, numbering about 500 horsemen.
The cavalcade proceeded by the customary avenues
the Shire-hall.

The usual forms having been gone through,
The nomination commenced soGr, after ten o'clock.
Mr. Coke was proposed by Sir Jacob Astley,VA
seconded by Brampton Gurdon, Esq.; Sir William
Folkes, by W. Windham, jun. Esq., and Mr. Lea-
mon, of Wtiitwell.

Up to this hour (twelve), when necessity compels
us to close our narration, the Court had been ad.
dressed by the gentlemen above named, with a de•
gree of eloquence and power rarely witnessed in our
county business.

GL Ol?I 0 US TRIUMPH OF REFORM IN
HERTFORDSHIRE:
FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
There is no county in England that has more
nobly performed its duty on the present important
occasion, than the county of Hertford, which has
returned to Parliament six staunch reformers--viz.,
two for the county, Sir John Sebright and Nicolson
Calvert, Esq.; two for the borough of Hertford,
T. S. Duncombe and John Currie, Esqrs.; and two
for St. Alban's, Sir Francis Vincent and Richard
Godson, Esq. Both the boroughs were strongly
contested; Hertford by Lord Ingestrie, the relative
and nominee of the boroughmongering Marquis of
Sali,bury, who, until this occasion, with the Cor-
poration as his tools, has always succeeded in forcing
one anti•liberal Member upon the inhabitants; and
St. Alban's, by Lord Grimston, the eldest son of
the Earl of Verulam, the Lord Lieutenant of the
county. Not ,ing, however, could resist the gallant
spirit of the reformers, who, despite threats and co-
pious offerings from the joint stock purse of Charles-
street, performed their duty as Englishmen ought
to do on such an occasion. No sooner was Lord
Grinaston beat at St. Alban's, than attempts were
made to get him to stand for the county. The Tories
came down liberally to meet the expence, Lord Sa-
lisbury subscribing 5,000/., and Lady Bridgewater
1,0001. Sir John Sebright roughly handled both
the Marquis and Lord Grim.ston, taxing the latter
with the subscription, which he designated as a
" beggar's mode of getting into Parliament." Lord
Grittisron admitted the fact, and justified it on the
grounds of fluvial; heard that subscriptions were to
be got up or: the other side. Lord Salisbury has
left the county for Dorsetshire, where he is gene to
lend a hand to his fellow-feeling friend, Cork Castle I
Bankes.

IRELAND.—DUBLIN, MAY 5.
The elections have commenced in Ireland with the most
glorious prospects for Reform.
Sir Etward Deering, the Anti-reform candidate for
the borough of Wexford, made a formal announcement of
his resignation yesterday, and Mr. C. A. Walker, a tho-
rough Reformer, will be returned without opposition to-
morrow. A Reformer will also be returned for new Ross ;
and if, as I learn in a well-informed quarter, Mr. Lambert
and Colonel Chichester shauld be returned for the county
of Wexford, the Reformers will obtain an accession of three
new Members (equal to six votes) from this county alone.
Alr. N. P. Leader, a Reformer, was yesterday returned
without opposition for the city of Kilkenny.
Mr. Jephson has been returned for Mallow, and Sir
John Newport for Waterford city. Both are decided
Reformers.

A vigorous contest is proceeding in the Earl of Kil-
morey's town of Newry. Mr. Dennis Maguire, a re-
spectable trader, opposes Mr. J. 11. Knox, who would
not pledge himself to support the Reform Bill in all its
chief details.

CITY OF DUBLIN.—The election commences to-morrow.
The reformers are quite confident of returning both their
Members. I have made most diligent inquiry, and find
that their anticipations are quite justified. The example
of Liverpool has accomplished wonders. All the parishes
are meeting and subscribing.
COUNTY OF WATERFORD.SiT Richard Musgrave,
Bart., and Mr. John Power, oppose the Beresfords. Mr.
11. W. B irron has resigned in favour of the Reform can-
didates, for whom a large subscription has been made. The
Beresfords will be beaten.

The College election commences on Saturday. The issue
is extremely doubtful—the contest, will be neck and neck.
LIMERICK, MAY 4.—The moment the dissolution was
made known a Committee was voluntarily formed here,
consisting principally of the leading merchants and Mem-
bers of the Chamber of Commerce. They not only took
measures to insure the return of Mr. Spring Rice, but
entered into very large subscriptions that his return might
be without any expense. More than 1,5001 was received
in a few hours. On the canvass the success of the Reform
cause was complete, and this morning Mr. Dixon, who
had spent upwards of 8,000/. on the last election, has
bolted, and Mr. Rice's return is secure. The election will
be on Saturday.

In the county of Limerick the sitting Members, who
both supported the Reform Bill, will be returned.
In the eity of Cork, Colonel Jonathan Peel and Major
