TO THE ELECTORS OF LEICESTER.

GENTLEMEN,
YOU are again called upon to perform the
important duty of Electing Representatives. The
King has dissolved the Parliament for the purpose of as-
certaining the sense of the People on the great Question
of Reform.

The Appeal of a Patriot King and an enlightened
Ministry will not be made in vain to a generous People ;
and I trust that every personal consideration will be
merged in a universal desire to obtain the proposed Reform.
My public conduct is before you ; and should you again
deem me worthy of your choice, I shall endeavour to fulfil
the trust reposed in me with diligence and fidelity.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen,
Your very faithful Servant,
Leicester, April 25, 1931. WILLIAM EVANS.

COUNTY OF HANTS.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
The recorded votes for Sir James Macdonald and Mr. Lefevre
are upwards of 4,000, and under the superior management of
their radical Chairman no doubt is entertained of ultimate suc-
cess. We can vouch for the correctness of these observations, in
consequence of previous enquiries, and our knowledge of Mr.
Wallis, whose tactics are formed on experience. S. M.

GENTLEMEN,
II- HAVE the honour to inform you, that the
day of ELECTION of MEMBERS for the UNI-
VERSITY of CAMBRIDGE is fixed for TUESDAY, the
3d day of May, when I hope for the favour of your
support, and earnestly reque t your attendance at the Poll.
I take this opportunity of saying that my Committee
have made arrangements for facilitating the conveyance of
my friends from London, and places in the neighbourhood
of Cambridge, on the principal roads to the place of Elec-
tion, and that they will have great pleasure in rendering
every assistance to those gentlemen who will favour them
by applying at my
_Committee-Room, or in case you
should not pass through town, to my Agent, at any of
the undermentioned places:—

GLOUCESTER ELECTION.

Since the dissolution of Parliament was announced on Satur-
day last, the excitement in this city has been altogether unpre—
cedented. On Monday Colonel Webb published an address, in—
timating his resignation, in pursuance of a previous arrangement
between him and Captain Berkeley. It was then concluded,
that Mr. Phillpotts and Captain Berkeley would be returned
without opposition. The fnends of Colonel Webb, however,
feeling dissatisfied at his retitement, urged him to alter his de-
termination, and on Tuesday an address from that gentleman
announced his intention to offer himself with Captain Berkeley.
On Wednesday the friends of Mr. Phillpotts having been assem.
bled, that gentleman communicated to them his determination
not to incur heavy expence by proceeding to a poll on the pre.
sent occasion, but to reserve himself till the Reform Bill shall
have passed, notwithstanding this declaration, it will be seen
that his friends are determined to put him in nomination, and to
keep open the poll for him to the last moment, free from every
expence to him. They are carrying on his canvass with the most
enthusiastic spirit, and express the fullest confidence in the result
of the contest.

BURY ST. EDMUND'S, APRIL 28.

Vor this borough a contest will take place for the first time
thesehis thirty years. The Duke of Grafton attests the sincerity of
h!, declarations in favour of the Reform Bill, by recommending
1..!.15, nephew Fitz-Roy as a friend of the Bill, in place of Lord
o,,,,`st',n. who has disappointed all the hopes of the reformers, by
it, after having one of Mr. O'Connell's baker's dozen.
roue Marquis of Bristol, who shares the patronage of the bo-
th,V.,„ again nominates Earl Jermyn, his son, an opponent of
ind Bill Mr. Rolfe, Recorder of the borough has started as an
4 'Pendent reformer, and Captain Bennett, of the yeomanry,
ran anti-reformer. There are some who affirm that the Corpo.
~,orl will, at their last gasp, shew their independence members at-

WARMINSTER.

At a meeting of the Friends of Reform, held at the Angel Inn
'Warminster, the 29th of April, 1831,

HENRY WAIsISEY, Esq., in the Chair;
Resolved,—That this meeting, being well aware that many of
the proprietors of Boroughs, and the enemies of Reform, are
making every exertion, by subscribing large sums of money and
otherwise, to stifle and overwhelm the voice of the people, and
to influence voters at the approaching elections, by bribery and
other corrupt means, and by extravagant expenditure of every
sort, highly approve of the establishment of the Loyal Patriotic
Society in London, for counteracting such corrupt efforts.
That a subscription of the inhabitants of Warminster and its
neighbourhood be now entered into ; and that a Committee be
formed for promoting such subscription (and after deducting
local expenses), remitting the proceeds thereof to the Loyal and
Patriotic Fund in London, and for corresponding therewith, if
necessary.

Preparations are making at the Bank for a considerable

best quality of gold, for time coining of Dutch ducats, and
there is no doubt that part of it will soon find its way to
Russia, as the same coin is current there. It is to be
hoped that our sovereigns will not bear a premium, as

COURT CIRCULAR.

The Duke of GLOUCESTER has been indisposed, and
confined to his room for some days past. His Royal
Highness experienced the first attack on the night of
Wednesday se'nnight. Sir HENRY HALronn was sent
for at an early hour the following morning, and immedi-
ately attended upon his Royal Highness. Sir HENRl-
rronounced the indisposition to have arisen from a bad
cold, which was accompanied with fever. The Royal
Duke has been kept very quiet, and latterly has been re-
covering front the attack. The following favourable bul-
letin was issued %esterday:—

" April 7.
" His Royal Highness the Duke of GLOUCESTER is going on
very well."

Signed) " HENRY HALFORD."
The Duchess of Giouce3ter has received visits from
the Dukes of CUMBERLAND and Sussex. Their MA-
JESTIES and the other meinb:n-s of the Royal family have
constantly sent to make their affectionate inquiries after his
Royal Highness. Great numbers of the nobility and
.;entry have called daily to learn- the state of the Royal
Duke and left their names.

The Neapolitan and Brazilian Ministers transacted busi-
ness yesterday, at the office of the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs.
Despatches were sent off last evening front the Colonial
Office for the Earl of BELMORE, the Governor of Jamaica,
and the other Governors of the Vt't.st India Islands.

NEAT WINES.

Lord Marchmont, the friend of Pope, lived
to the age of eighty-six, preserving his strength
and faculties to the last. lie rode out only five
days before he died. Sir John Sinclair, who
knew him, wished to ascertain the system he
pursued, and he received for answer, that his
Lordship always lived as other people did, but
he had laid down when young one maxim, to
which he rigidly adhered, and to which he attri.
buted much of his good health, namely—now
reader, what do you think this maxim was ?
Never to exceed in his eating? Never to be
late in bed ? No. Never to neglect exercise ?
Never to take much physic ? Never to be
rakish, to be litigious, to be ill-tempered, to
give way to passion ? No, none of these. It
was, never to mix wines. What luxurious phi-
losophies these Lords have ! My Lord March-,
moat was resolved to be a loog-lived, virtuous,
venerable man ; and therefore he laid it down
as an austere maxim, rigidly to be adhered
to, never to mix his wines. To get one
glass of wine in his extreme weakness, is
what certain human beings, bent double with -
age, toil, and rheumatism, can seldom hope for ;
while another certain human being, having no-
thing to bend him and nothing to do, shall be-
come a glorious example of the beauty of this
aristocratical maxim—never to mix your wines.
Lord Marchmont did accordingly, for many
yens, generously restrict himself' to the use of
claret ; his physicians having forbidden him to
take that wine on account of its acidity, he re-
solved, with equal self-denial, "to confine
himself to Burgundy ;" and accordingly, with a
perseverance that cannot be sufficiently coin-
mended, " took a bottle of it every day for 15
years." The noble Lord was a good man, how-
ever, and we do not grudge him his " neat as
imported." All we lament is that thousands as
good as he have not an atom either of his plea-
sure or his leisure. His acquaintance with
Pope reminds us of another of the poet's long-
living and wine-drinking Lords, Lord Bathurst,
who also took his bottle every day, and made a
point of taking his ride before it. It is be of
whom the pleasant anecdote is related, that

Council-house, Bristol, Sunday, Oct. 30, 1831.
The Riot Act has been read three times. All persons tumultu-
ously assembling are guilty of capital felony.
By order of the Mayor.

No. 3,

The Magistrates most earnestly intreat the assistance of their
fellow citizens to restore the peace of the city, by assembling im-
mediately at the Guildhall.
Guildhall, Sunday morning, half-past ten o'clock.

No. 4.

The Sheriffs of Bristol having been called on by the Magis-
trates to report upon the circumstances of attack upon the gaol,
have instituted an inquiry in•o those circumstances, and find
that the Governor having received information on Sunday after-
noon, about one o'clock, that the mob had attacked Bridewell,
immediately resorted to the Mansion-house, to inform the Ma-
gistrates of the circumstances of the case, and to require assist-
ance, when he found that the mob had obtained possession of the
house, and that the Magistrates were gone up to the Guildhall.
On his arrival there, two of the Aldermen, Hr. Hilhouse and
Mr. Savage, offered to accompany him back, and, having collected
about thirty of the citizens and constables, they proceeded to
the gaol, which is a building surrounded by a wall of very consi-
derable circumference, and although high, yet exposed to be
scaled in every direction. The party, on arrival, found upwards
of fifteen thousand persons surrounding the gaol, and in front of
the portal or entrance, and, on coming round towards the por-
tal, they were attacked by stones and missiles of every description;
several of the party severely hurt ; Mr. Little, the Under-
Sheriff's partner, dangerously wounded with a sledge-hammer ;
and the whole division scattered ; and an entrance was there-
upon effected at the portal, by the mob, who were provided with
tools they had obtained on their way to the gaol, by breaking
open an ironmonger and an anchor-smith's shop. That imme-
diately after the mob entered, about twenty-four of the 3d dra-
goon guards came towards the spot, at a slow pace, and, as the
troops approached, the mob fled in all directions. The troops moved
to the front of the gaol; but, as they took no offensive mea-
sures, the populace again drew near to it, there being then about
one hundred persons of the mob within the walls.
The Governor, who had taken shelter from the attack of the
mob, at a house immediate close to the gaol wall, saw the guards
approach, and went towards them, when he saw them returning,
without stopping at all, or interfering with the mob, the people
cheering them, and some of the soldiery waving their gloves in
return. The mob then obtained complete possession of the gaol,
liberated the prisoners, set fire to the Governor's house, which
is consumed, and retained possession of the remainder of the gaol
until Monday morning, when the cavalry having dispersed the
people in the adjoining square, the possession of the building was
recovered. The Sheriffs have also to report that the damage
done to the gaol itself is inconsiderable, with the exception of the
destruction of the Governor's house.

THE ARMY.

(From the Limerick Chronicle of Saturday.)
The 27th and 68th Regiments wore laurel in their caps
last Thursday for the victory of Neville, where the former
corps made prisoners of the entire of the 28th French rigi
Inept. The non-commissioned officers of the 27th and
68th had a estnmernoiative dinner on Thursday evening.
The 28th, or Enniskillen Infantry, and the 6th En-
niskillen Dragoons, were originally volunteer corps, formed
in the year 1689, from the inhabitants of Enniskillen and
its neighbourhood. In 1736 ihe 27th Regiment sup-
pressed a most alarming insurrection of the colliers near
Bristol, and received the public thanks of the authorities.
This regiment also highly distinguished itself in the me-
moraide battles of Falkirk and Culloden against Charles
the Pretender, in 1745-6, when Lieutenant Massy, an
ancestor 01 the present Lord Clarina, and subsequently
Colonel;of the regiment, commanded the grenadier com-
pany, and attracted the marked spprohation of the Duke
of Cumberland, who was pleased to advance him to a com-
pany on the field. General Sir Eyre Coote was then an
Ensign in the 27th. At Waterloo the 27th Regiment lost
in killed and wounded 14 officers, 18 serjeants, and 478
rank and file, having been the entire of that glorious day
exposed to a galling and incessant fire, besides repulsing in
square repeated and furious charges of French Cuirassiers.
AI the troops in garrison, Artillery, Carbineers, 27th
and 68th Regiments, went towards Newcastle this day for
exercise, under command of Col. Warsley, R.A.
Wednesday, the second division of the 69th Regimen,
sailed from Cove in the Re, every transport, for Babadee .
The Lord Wellington, in which the head quarters divisi,o,
will embark, has nut arrived.
The reserve e,anp•-alies of the 65th Reaitn, nt from Kin-
s 1 are now at Buttevant. They were inspected at Cotk
on the sth inst. b Sir George Bingham.
The officers of the 331 Regiment of Madras Native In
fantry, have ordered the erection of a handsosne marbl,
monument in the church of London terry, to the in mor)
of th it late brother officer Ensign Leathern, a native of tio
la; ter place.

should he favour us with his correspondence, to pay the

past, as I wished to give more positive information on the
state of health at our place, but I am sorry to say it is
rather unfavourable, as some more persons have been taken
ill, and one or two have died ; but it does not appear to
be contagious. It is expected that in a day or two a re-
gular Board of Health will be established, when I shall
forward to you regular information. A Nobleman has
sent us 200/., and we have received five or six hundred
more for the poor. In Newcastle they begin to be more
terrified of the typhus fever than we are of the cholera."
The following we have received by the French mails
this morning ;--They write from Rio Janeiro, that every
day the Government is gaining strength, that about 1,500
troops of the line have been dismissed, and on the 20th
August 2,000 National Guards were established ; there were
only two French merchant ships there.
Accounts from St. Petersburgh state that the Emperor
and Empress had left the capital for Moscow.
The information from Vienna of the 28th October, states
that a continual exchange of couriers is going on between
the above capital and Paris; it is stated they relate to a ge-
neral disarming of the Powers.
Accounts from Warsaw say that there will be a general
armistice granted both for the army and nation, and it is
ertain that Poland will remain a separate nation, but the
Diet will be replaced by the Provincial States, and the
Government will reside at St. Petersburgh.
At the last council held at Paris the question was
brought forward on the law to recognise the decorations of
the hundred days. MM. Soult, Sebastiani, and Montali-
♦ert were for the adoption of the law, and MM. Perier,
Louis, Barthe, and Argout against it. M. Rigny did not
give his vote.

COMPENDIUM OF THE BANKRUPT
LAWS, tc. LONDON, 1831.

Mr. Brady, the author of the present digest,
has compressed within reasonable limits all the
numerous statutes relative to bankruptcy, with
their most recent modifications : he has explained
also the bearings of the law of composition with
creditors, and the whole of the laws as they affect
insolvent debtors. This book, in short, is a
complete tradesman's Vade Mecum, which no
man of business should be without.

There are moderate arrivals of Wheat and Barley, and good
quantities of Oats and Flour. The Wheat trade remains as last

sale. Beans and Pease are unaltered. Oats do not find buyers
readily, and basing an increased quantity at market, they hardly
maintain last price. Flour remains as last reportet

LANDSCAPE ILLUSTRATIONS of the
WAVERLEY NO PARTS 9 and 10.

These beautiful landscapes, engraved by the
Finder's from paintings by some of our first modem
artists, form a handsome addition to the edition
(by the author) of the Waverley Novels. They are
worthy-,—the majority of them--to vie with our
best engravings.

On Monday night Mrs. CHATTERLEY
having refused to perform the part of Aldabella, in Fazio,
5163 TAYLOR undertook the part at a very short notice.
An apology was made for this substitution of ladies, by
Mr. 13.kaTLEv, previous to the commencement of the ae-
cond act. The lady has, it is said, been put on the forfeit
list for SOL—The matter will, however, it is said, afford
some emolument to the
gentlemen of the long robe.

An " untoward event" took place at the altar
of our parish on Monday morning last, deeply afflictive to
the feelings of
two young aspirants for the joys of matri_
au,Y. A young gentleman, in his 19th year, an officer
in a regiment of Light Dragoons, and a member of a
higltly•respectable family in this county, was in the act of
tying the connubial knot with a frail cyprian, with whom he
had formed a blissful intimacy at Leamington, when the
ceremony was suddenly interrupted by the api e trance an I
rude interposition of a, police-officer, acting under the pa-
rental authority of the gallant's father. Notwithstanding
the protestations, supplications, and imprecations of the
disappointed pair, he bore off his prisoner to prison ; from
whence, on Tuesday last, he was, under strong escort, con-
veyed to his father's houie.--Birminglialn Journal.

(From the Royal Gazette of the 25th Dec.)
On Thursday afternoon.-the Honourable House of Assembly
were most unexpectedly prorogued by his Excellency the Go-
vernor. Various surmises have 'oeen started on the cause of so
sudden a step; but the most rrobable and just one has been as-
signed to us in the long period that had been suffered to elapse
since his Excellency had sent over the Message relative to the
payment of the troops, and the space that remained for the pro-
bable duration of the Session not allowing him to enter into
minute details with the Commander of the Forces, after he
should have received the answer to that Message ; and
that his Excellency, therefore, unwi:ling that any blame
should be attached to him for not allowing the Members
,utticient time to reach their places of residence to enjoy the
Christmas holidays, considered this the most eligible plan. We
do not state this as authentic, but it is what we have heard.

PERIODICAL LITERATURE.

[From the near approach of Parliament, and a press of
other matter, we are compelled to be brief with our Li.

terary notices.

LIBRARY OF THE FINE ARTS.

Though this work addresses itself to but a limited
class of readers, we have little doubt that among
that class it will become popular. It is, in fact, a
library—though a miniature one—of the fine arts,
blending sound criticism with original essays on the
subject. In this number we find a re-publication of
the author of Pelhant's Cambridge Prize Poem on
Sculpture, which is one of the best University
prize poems we ever read. The couplet descrip-
tivii of the Statue of Hercules is full of poetic
beauty.
" And calm in stern repose (his labour done)
Stands, like a sleeping storm, Alcmoma's son."

JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL INSTITU-
