NORTHAMPTON TO WAY ELECTION.

The scrutiny demanded g
commenced on Monday last at the County-hall, ln-
rore the Mayor and Bailiffs, and the Assessor, Mr.
Humfrey.
Mr. Serjeant LUDLOW appeared ai Counsel
Sir G. Robinson and Mr. Vernon Smith; and Mr.
WRIGHT on behalf of Sir R. Gunning.
A preliminary objection was taken...by Mr. Soti.
LUDLOW, who argued that the right of scrutiny had
been taken away by the 9th of George IV.
Mr. WRIGHT, in reply, contended, that the right
of scrutiny had not been taken away, and that it
was recognised by the common law of the land.,
The question was decided by the Assessor, who
was clearly of opinion that the right of scrutiny was
still in existence.

Mr. 'l/417!iiGHT then proposed to call witnesses to
prove the no,o..ll4:ilification of a particular voter;
but it was. objected by Mr. Serjeant LUDLOW that
no notice had lire given to the voter in question of
the intention to disoote his vote, and he was there-
fore not present.

The objection was allowed by the Assessor, who
said that he would adjourn the case to the following
day._ _

Mr. Scrjeant LUDLOW then proceeded in the
scutiny of Sir R. Gunning's votes, when three were
struck off.

Mr..WRIGHT having stated that he was taken by
surprise,

The Assessor adjourned the Court to the follow-
ing day, when the scrutiny recommenced, and in all
probability will continue for several days.—North-
ampton Mercury.

GREAT MARLOW.—The scrutiny which com-
menced at the Greyhound inn, in this town, on
Tuesday last, closed at eleven o'clock on Saturday
morning, Colonel Clayton having declined to pro-
ceed any further, on account of the difficulty he
experienced in procuring the requisite testimony to
render it effectual; and also from the very superior
advantages likely to result in removing it to a tri-
bunal armed with power to compel the production
of every description of evidence. The numbers,
after the scrutiny, stood as follow:
Owen Williams, Esq. - 193
T. P. Williams, Esq. 189
Colonel Clayton - - - 184
The thanks of both parties were given to Donald
M'Lean, Esq., the assessor, Mr. Samuel Clark, and
Mr. William Reading, the returning officers, arid to
Mr. Robert Turner, overseer, for their impartial and
meritorious conduct during the late election. Mr.
Serjeant Mereweather conducted the case for
Colonel Clayton, and Messrs. Harrison and Wheat-
ley were retained for Messrs. Williams.
CARMARTHENSIIIRE.—On Monday the election
of a Member for Carmarthenshire took place at
Llandillo. Sir James Hamlyn Williams, Bart., of
Edwinsford, was proposed, and no other candidate.
On being proposed he expressed the happiness he
felt at seeing the county come forward as one man
in support of the King and his measures. If they
cvittild?i til rs liefajgt feifli nisi-el.s; n'd every possible
reduction of taxation. The Sheriff, after waiting
the usual time, and no other candidate appearing,
declared Sir James Hamlyn 'Williams duly elected.
The freeholders who assembled on the occasion, to
the amount of 1,600, afterwards dined together, in
exultation at the triumph of the cause of Reform.

PARIS, MAY 20.—The following particulars are
extracted from a letter from Mayence, addressed to
our correspondent at Aix-la-Chapelle :
" The Prussian army is divided into eight corps,
exclusive of the Royal Guard. Each corps con-
sists of about 10,500 men on the peace establish-
ment, and about 21,000 men on the war establish-
ment, besides the Landwehr ; adding the latter to
the regular troops, each corps would be about
41,000 strong, and the total of the army, without
the Guards, the companies of invalids, and the
garrisons, would be 330,000 men.
" The Ist, 2d, sth, and Gth corps are on the
frontiers of Poland, under the command of Field-
Marshal Gniesenau. The third corps is stationed
between Halle and Magdeburg. There remain,
therefore, only the.4th, 7th, and Bth, to act upon the
Rhine; but as they have not called out the Land-
wehr, the troops placed on the left bank of the
Rhine cannot make an effective force of more than
50,000 men. The garrison at Mayence is now be,
tween 13 and 14,000 men."
In consequence of the intimation made by the
Consul of France to the Emperor of Morocco, that
the invasion which he had ordered his troops to
make of the provinee of TeleMsen, dependent on the
kingdom of Algiers, might endanger the relations of
good neighbourhood existing between France and
Morocco, the Emperor has recalled his nephew,
Muley Bey, and ordered him to quit Telemsen.
The Emperor is going to employ these troops to
restore tranquillity, which is seriously interrupted in
several parts of his dominions. The expedition to
Telemsen has caused a loss of 700,000 or 800,000
francs to the treasury of Morocco, which is an exor-
bitant sum for that empire; and the result of the
expedition has been to occasion the troubles which
now afflict it.

Baron Pagel, the Minister of the Netherlands, has
returned to Paris.

Baron de Bourgoin, Secretary of Legation, arrived
at Paris three days ago from St. Peter burgh. Count
de Mornay is gone express to Petersburgli.,

PARIS, MAY 19.—1 t is affirmed that letters from
Vienna, dated 12th instant, and from Augsburg,
I.sth, have been received by express by some bankers
at Paris. It is added that they bring the news that
General Skrzynecki had just obtained another
portant victory near Kaluszyn, over Field-Marshal
Diebitsch, who is in full retreat. It was said at
Vienna, that Marshal Diebitsch would cease to com-
mand the army, and that he would be succeeded by
General Paskewitch.

different Ministers since July have not entered
frankly into the principles of our revolution, arid have
very little confirmed them. The troubles have
alarmed the country—each party has attributed
them to the Ministers; but the men who see in the
revolution only a continued restoration, increase and
profit by these disputes. We look, however, with
confidence to the decision of events. We cannot
predict the result of the elections, but the Chamber
will necessarily adopt, as the basis of its delibera-
tions, the Charter of 1830. The Peerage will be
placed in harmony with our institutions—public
education will be taken out of the Imperial mould--
