IRELAND.-CLONMEL, MAY 13.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT. )
Amongst the many triumphs of Reform which you
have recorded in The Sun,—that fearless advocate of the
liberties of British subjects,—perhaps I may not intrude
too much by requesting you to record that the county of
Tipperary sends forward to the new Parliament two to
one in support of his Majesty's Crown and dignity, the
people's inalienab'e rights, and the true safeguard of the
Constitution.

Monday last was appointed for sending a Member for-
waid to the British Senate, to represent the rotten and
close borough of Clonmel,l comprising its dozen mem-
bers, though the town displays its 26,000 inhabitants.—
Eyre Coote—the Anti. Reformer, the nominee of the
Bagwells—was the man of their choice. James Morton,
a flour-factor, was the proposer ; and David Malcolmson,
one of the Society of Friends, the seconder. The usual
farce was gone through in about ten minutes. Mr.
Hackett, an independent inhabitant, perceiving the motley
crew going off, proposed three cheers for the King : it
Was echoed by 10,000 persons, nine times nine; yet,
strange to say, those Anti-Reformers, those only imaginary
supporters of the Constitution, decamped, isithout appa-
rently caring for King, Lords, or Commons.
Thursday the tug of war came on ; two Reformers for
" the whole Bill" were duly elected, and without oppo-
sition,—Captain John Hely Hutchinson, the nephew of
the first and last of Ireland's best pitriots, and the heir of
General Lord Donouglimore, was one, and Thomas Wyse,
Esq., the other. The independents, one and all, would
have thrown Wyse overboard, for his delinquency on the
Repeal question, and his conduct to the Man of the People,
could they have got one more to suit their knuckle.—
Ahoy have thought ill of O'Connell, for leaving Water-
ford ; but those who are best acquainted with its localities
have thought otherwise. The Waterford Boys are too
mercurial—too ambitious—in a word, they would fain be
all Hon. Members ; hence the disputes, the fights, and
quarrels between the Powers, the Barrows', the Wyses',
&e. So you will easily perceive that Waterford was not
altogether a bed of roses for the Man of the People.

NORTHAMPTONSHIRE ELECTION.

TWELFTH DA Y.-MARCH 20.

The important question as to the right of the freemen
resident in the town to vote for the county was at nine
o'clock this morning brought under discussion in the Shire-
ha, before the assessor, Mr. N,Clarke. Mr. Serjeant
Adams appeared in support of the right, and Mr. Hill
against. .The question was raised by the tender and rejec-
tion of the vote of a freeman named Moon. Mr. Serjeant
Adams called witnesses to prove that that there were 120
acres of enclosed land to the west of the town, on which the
freemen, from time immemorial, bad the right of depastur-
lug, by turning each a certain number of cattle upon it, on
payment of a sum of about 175., at present, per head, but
which sum had risen at different times, being, as Mr.
Serjeant Adams contended, regulated so as to form a fund
adequate to the paying of the land tax and keeping the
fences in repair, and meeting all other contingent ex-
pences. There were also S 7 acres on the north of the
town, which were enclosed in 1794, and were, by Act of
Parliament, given in lieu of previous common-rights,
"to and for the use of the freemen of Northampton,"
subject to such regulations as the trustees might
see proper to make, and also to be used for a race-
course for two days between July and October. The
trustees it appeared levied the same rate per head on this
land as on the old, and also limited the time of depasturing,
&e. from May till February. During the intervening
months it was shut up to give the grass time to grow.
There were 400 resident freemen, but many of these did
not exercise their rights. Three that did exercise it were
called, the first estimated his right at 121. ; the second, at
181. 18s. ; the third, at 361. per annum. On the con-
trary, Mr. Hill contended, that the old enclosure was the
property of the Corporation, and that the charge levied per
head on the cattle was a rent-charge, but which was fixed
ao low, in order to give a privilege to the freemen. And,
that with respect to the new enclosure, the restrictions
aeon it were incompatible with its being the common free-
hold of the freemen. He also called witnesses to prove that
the land was so overstocked, that no profit could be derived
from it. The arguments of counsel, and examination of
witnesses have consumed the entire day, and it is not pro-
bable any decision will be come to till to-morrow morning.
At the close of the poll to-day the numbers were-
Althorp - 2,433
Milton - - - 96
Cartwright • - - . 1,973
Knightley - - - - 1,393
Lord Aurnoite said the events of that day, and the votes
polled were so few, that he had scarcely any thing to ad-
drecs them upon. The poll stood nearly as it did the day
before, and their condition was only altered by their being
one day nearer the legal termination of the poll. The in
terest that day had not been in the booth, but elsewhere.
A discussion had arisen on a question of great importance,
hut respecting the decision on which he felt personally no
concern, for lie hoped and trusted that if the question
were determined in the affirmative, he should receive as
Much support from that class as he had from every other.
Every thing remained in the same state as when he last
addressed them. He told them that he thought Mr. Cart-
wright had a fair reason for continuing the poll, and he
thought so still.
Mr. CARTWRIGIIT said he was aware the county was
nearly exhausted. It was the question that was now under
discussion, and excited so much interest, which formed the
main reason for his continuing the contest. Another
reason was the number of votes still under discussion in
the assessor's booth, but he would admit that. the latter
alone would not be enough to justify him in protracting
!rie contest. He thought at present he was not continuing
It vexatiously. He considered himself justified in con-
tinuing it for the present, but his conduct would be guided
by circumstances as they arose.
Sir C. KNIGISTLEY said it was impossible to say their
conduct was factious, for their could not be anything
wrong in endeavouring to obtain for individuals a right
they had never before enjoyed. He should always reflect
with pleasure on having entered on this contest, for it had
afforded him an opportunity of opposing a measure which
he considered dangerous, and of giving expression to the
opinion of the respectable and independent portion of the
county.
The Hon. Mr. WENTWORTH said he found it extremely
difficult to muster up anything new to address them with.
He would just advert to the question now under discussion
as to the right of the freemen to vote. Suppose the
right admitted, they might be opposed to Reform ; but,
Judging from the town election, he should say he thought
they were not. But, even if they were, there were other
towns in the county whose freemen would be able to claim
a similar privilege, and whose votes he felt satisfied would
be for Reform. His firm conviction was that the contest
!vas in reality over, and its effect had been to establish even
to that county the great cause of Reform.
