AND 0 VER.

Monday last being the day fixed for the election
of Members to represent this borough in the ensu-
ing Parliament, the town presented an unusual scene
of animation and gaiety. About eleven o'clock,
Ralph Etwall, jun., E.q. (one of the candidates),
accompanied by his friends, proceeded in his carriage
to the house of George Barnes, Esq., the Bailiff
of the borough. Shortly afterwards another band
announced the arrival of H. A. W. Fellowes, Esq.
(the other candidate), from Hurstbeurne-park. At
twelve o'clock the candidates, the corporation, and
the Hon. N. Fellowes (Recorder) adjourned to the
Guildhall for the purpose of holding the election.
After the usual preliminary proceedings were con-
cluded, Mr. H. A. W. Fellowes came forward, and
was greeted with loud and reiterated applause. In
the course of a meat and well-timed address, he said,
that from the earliest period of his life he had been
a strenuous advocate for Parliamentary Reform ;
and argued with persuasive eloquence on the neces-
sity of annihilating the botoughmongering system.
In conclusion, he stated, that in the event of his
having the honour of a seat in Parliament, he would
give his firm and unflinching support to " the Bill,
the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill."
Mr. R. ETwau, then rose, and after the hearty
cheers which welcomed his appearance had sub-
sided, at some length descanted on the various
points, characterising the leading features of the in-
tended Reform Bill, and said, that in coming for-
ward to solicit the suffrages of the electors that day,
he was actuated only by a sincere desire to enter into
the public service at this eventful crisis, for the sake
of the public welfare.
The poll was then taken, and Henry Arthur
Wallop Fellowes, Esq., and Ralph Etwall, jun.,
Esq,. were declared to be unanimously elected.
This announcement was met by a simultaneous
burst of approbation from the dense crowd congre-
gated in the hall ; on their return from which the
new-elected Members were chaired in triumph
through the streets of Andover, amidst the congra-
tulations of the inhabitants, whose houses were filled
with elegantly dressed ladies.

DENBIGH, MA Y 3.

The freeholders of Denbighshire are about to re-
deem their characters by opposing most strenuously
Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, who has hitherto been
considered as the great autocrat of North Wales.—
John Maddocks, Esq., of Glany-wern, brother-in-
law to Mr. Robarts, the banker, has been brought
forward by a poweiful body of the freeholders, and
his success is all but certain. The enthusiasm of
the freeholders in the glorious cause of Reform will
prove to the Hon. Baronet, that the utter contempt
of the sentiments of his constituents, which he has
hitherto uniformly shown, will now meet its just re-
tribution. The Denbigh attorneys, whose elec-
tioneering tact and good generalship are proverbial,
have taken the popular cause in hand with an ardour
beyond all praise, and the Hon. Baronet's canvass
here this day proved to him and his few friends the
utter hopelessness of their cause. The freeholders
are determined, notwithstanding the Hon. Baronet's
deep-rooted influence, to prove they are not the
humble vassals they have been heretofore consi-
dered. The Hon. Baronet will find, that although
he has never before condescended to canvass, but
has had quiet possession of the county for the last
35 years, that the men of Denbighshire have opi-
nions of their own on political matters as well as
their English neighbours, and that they have now
risen as a " giant refreshed," with a determination, to
free themselves from the domination of his influence,
however overwhelming it might be hitherto consi-
dered. The freeholders are resolute in their oppo-
sition, and the great cause must prevail.

SoatEasyrstizna.—The utmo,t exertioni that it is pos-
sible for men to make have been used throughout Somer-
setahire to secure the return of Mr. Sandford and Colonel
Gore Langton. The names of these gentlemen have
operated like talismans wherever they have been heard ;
they have brought together in their cause the hearts of
crowds, differing on minor points, but united on the one
great question which now agitates the country from one
extreme to the other. The scene at Wells on Friday will
be one which, we think, will not be easily forgotten by
those who witmsa it. We speak within bounds when we
say, that on a moderate calculation, 10,000 persons will
be present in that city at the nomination of the candidates
—the most memorable nomination which ever took place
in this county..the most memoraWe which will, perhaps,

ever again take place in Somerset. Nearly a fhousaiia
persons from Bath and its immediate neighbourhood will
be present; a thousand persons will go in procession from
Frame; a large number of the friends of the cause will
proceed from Taunton, through Bridgewater and Glaston-
bury; Shepton Mallet will send a mass of voters to the
Tot, and many other places, to which we have it not in
our power at this moment to advert, will afford similar
demonstrations of popular feeling. Means will he taken
ro march these numerous bands into the town in regular
and imposing order, while music, and banners, and gar-
lands, will give a gay and exhilarating character to the
spectacle. Since the above was written, we have learned,
from authority on which we can implicitly depend, that
Mr. Tynte has resigned.—Bath Chronicle.
Sussex.—The election fur the county takes place this
(lay at Chichester, when it is expected that Lord Geor%e
Lennox and Mr. Curteis will meet with no opposition,
notwithstanding the rumours which have prevailed plenti-
fully of radical as well as Anti-Reform Candidates.

BEEKALSTON. —On Monday, the 2d of May, the elec-
tion for this borough took place under an old tree in the
centre of the village, when Sir Jarms Mackintosh and
Mr. Wood being nominated, Lord Lovaine and Mr.
Lyon were also put in nomination. At the close of the
poll Lord Lovaine and Mr. Lyon were declared duly
elected, they having nine votes each.

expressing to the Right lion. the Lord Provost, the Ma-
gistrates, and Council of the city of Edinburgh, a re-
spectful but earnest desire that, in the exercise of their
elective power, the representation of the city should he con-
ferred on the Right lion. Francis Jeffrey, Lord Advocate
of Scotland.

Air. R. ALEXANDER, win,!-merchant, seconded the mo-
tion, which was put and carried :vith acclamation.
On the motion of Mr. AYTouN, of Inchdairnie, a com-
mittee was appointed to carry the resolutions into effect.
Mr. G. WILSON moved the thanks of the meeting. to the
managers of the chapel for the handsome and liberal man-
ner they had given its use for the meeting.

forward the election of independent Members of Parlia-
ment. He was, authorized by a gentleman to say, that if
this was adopted, he would commence it with a subscrip-
tion of 100/.
