CAMBRIDGESHIRE ELECTION.

By a mistake in the calculation at the polling
booths, there was an error in the numbers announced
by the High Sheriff yesterday of twenty less than
Mr. Tom,ley's real numbers. They should have
stood thus -

For Mr. Townley 2,001
Captain Yorke
Majority 556
The difference is, I know, trifling, but you may
as well have the number; correctly. I stated yes-
terday that the Reformers could have polled 500
more, had the contest continued : I understand that
I have much under-stated the numbers.

THE TRIUMPH OF REFORM-THE

CHAIRING.

TUESDAY NIGHT, HALT-PAST NINE.

It was announced yesterday that the chairing
would take place to-day, at twelve o'clock, but from
a very early hour this morning the bustle of active
preparation was visible in all the principal streets in
the town, and showed the great interest generally
taken in the approaching ceremony. The procession
formed at the open ground at Parker's-piece, where
the election was held, and from thence proceeded
with the triumphal car to the Red Lion Inn, where
Mr. Townley ascended the car amidst the cheering
of one of the most numerous and respectable as-
semblages which has been collected in Cambridge
for a considerable time. The procession then moved
on through the principal streets of the town in the
following order :
Three trumpeters on horseback ; 100 gentlemen
of the town and county on horseback, riding four
abreast, and wearing the Reform ribands at their
breasts and at their horses' heads.
Next followed a large body of freeholders on foot,
walking arm-in-arm, six abreast. This part of the
procession included some of the most respectable
inhabitants of the town.

After these came the flags and banners used dur-
ing the election. Amongst which, a splendid Royal
standard, sent by the Reformers of Royston, was
very conspicuous.
A band of music followed, playing " See the
conquering hero comes." After which, came a
body on foot, consisting chiefly of the members of
Mr. Townley's committee, bearing white wands.
Next followed the car, in which sat the newly
elected member. The car, which was laid on the
;:prings of a four-wheel carriage, was of a light and
most tasteful construction, formed in the shape of a
scroll, and covered with sky blue and white silk, as
was also the frame on which it was placed. It was
decorated at each side with streamers, and banners
of the same colour, the whole presenting a very
light, and at the same time a very splendid appear-
ance. On one side were the words " The Triumph
of the Yeomanry :" on the other, " The King,
Townley, and Reform." It was drawn by six white
horses, tastefully decorated with light blue ribands,
the postilions wearing caps and jackets of the same
colour.

After the car followed an immense assemblage of
inhabitants of the town, and freeholders from all
parts of the county, many of whom came up this
morning from Wisbeach and Ely, to vote for Mr.
Townley, not knowing that the contest was closed.
It is unnecessary to add, that Mr. Townley was
most enthusiastically cheered as he proceeded
through the town. Independently of his popularity
as the Reform candidate,lMr. Townley is held in the
highest estimation through the county for his private
worth, which is readily admitted by all parties. As
the procession same by the end of St. Andrew-
street, Captain Yorke and his brother, who were in
a window, greeted the successful candidate with re-
peated cheers.
At nearly three o'clock the procession returned
to the Red Lion Inn.
THE DINNER.

At half-past four o'clock upwards of 200 indivi-
duals sat down to an excellent dinner, at the Red
Lion Inn, Lord F. OSBORNE in the chair. His Lord-
ship was supported on his right by the newly-elected
Member, and by Mr. Adeane, the other Member for
the county; and on his left by the Rev. Algernon
Peyton (Chairman of Mr. Townley's Committee),
and the Earl of Kerry. There were also present the
Hon, Mr. Ponsonby, M.P., Lord Duncan, Hon. J.
Grey, Rev. G. A. Browne, Mr. Banbury, Rev. W.
G. Townley, Rev. C. Townley, Mr. Barnes, Mr.
Astley, Mr. Remington, Mr. Ilibbert, Captain Os-
borne, Mr. Spooner, Mr. Wing, Mr. Green (of
Birmingham), Mr. J. Wing, Mr. Gunning, Mr.
Wedd, and Mr. Pym.
After dinner Non no/is, Doinine, was sung in good
style by some professional gentlemen and by some
amateurs.

The health of " The King" was then given by
his Lordship; and drank with four times four, amidst
the most deafening cheers.
The " Healths of the Queen, and the rest of the
Royal Family," were then toasted, amidst much ap-
plause.
The NOBLE CHAIRMAN said, that the next toast
that he had to propose to them he confessed was
one that had been always dearest to his heart.—
Upon political questions there might be many shades
of opinion amongst many of the gentlemen in that
room, but upon the question of the independence
of the county of Cambridge he believed that there
was not the slightest difference of opinion amongst
them._(Cheers.) He (Lord F. Osborne) had
often had occasion to address them before upon that
subject. Year after year, election after election, it
had been his pleasing duty to call their attention to
the further progress of that independence which had
now arrived at its summit, where it was their duty
to maintain it.—(Loud and general cheers.) The
Duke of Rutland and the Earl of liardwieke were
forbidden by law to represent that county in Parlia-
ment in person, and they-were forbidden by common
sense from representing it there by deputy.—
(Cheers.) He sincerely trusted that in future no
efforts would be made to counteract or to put down
the spirit of independence which existed in that
county, and the triumph of which they were met
that day to celebrate, but he hoped that with one
heart and with one mind they would preserve
that independence which they had so nobly ac-
quired.—(Cheers.) He would tell them above
all things to beware of names. The great poet
of this country had asked, " What is in a
name ?" and had added that "a rose by any
other name would smell as sweet." There was
truth and philosophy in that, and while he did not
mean to say that the names of Yorke and 7"tianners
should disqualify a man from ;.epr;senting that county
he would .•ay .hat tke possession of such names
shon.d not alone render a man fit to fill the situation
of their representative. They had had in the
struggle through which they had just gone, more
than common foes to contend against. There was
no county in England its which there were so many
interests which naturally, and by inclination, were
opposed to the indepertdcace of the county. They
had in that county a Bishop's see, with immense
patronage attached to it ; as university, with great
inte7,•est ar:d gtw,t j)-itronag,e; and a large and power-
ful nistoeracy, and a numerous gentry, the majority
of whom, he was sorry to say, were opposed to the
people.—(Cheers.) There was also the Corpora..
Lion of Cambridge against them—(.' laugh and
cheers)—notwithstanding 4 that, they had beaten
their enc.mie one after the other—they had beaten
them when divided—they had beaten them when
united.- They had beaten family after family, and
now at the end of twenty-one years they had suc-

seeded in asserting their independence in the most
complete and triumphant manner.—(Loud cheers.)
He recollected having often heard of the time when
the great Lord Chancellor Hardwicke used to walk
into the Town-hall of Cambridge on the occasion of
an election, and there introduce to the freeholders
Sir John Hyde Cotton, and some other dear friend
of his to them, whom they were obliged to choose
:it once. He would leave them to compare the
state of things then to what the state of things now
•,gas.—(Cheers.) Without further preface, he would
propose the" Health of the independent Freeholders,
and the success and prosperity of the independence
of the county of Cambridge."
This toast, it is needless to say, was drank with
enthusiasm.
Lord F. OSIIORNE said the next toast he had to
propose was one which he vas sure would be re-
ceived with as much satisfaction as the last. It
was, "A free and efficient Reform in the Commons
House of Parliament."—(Loud cheers.) He would
give " Success to Reform in general, and to the
Bill whenever it should be brought for.vard."-1
(Loud cheers.) _ _ _

Lord F. OSBORNE said the next toast he had to
propose would not require a word of comment from
him. It was the health of his Hon. Friend, whom
they had now chosen as their Representative, and
thus raised to the highest pinnacle of honour to
which any private gentleman could aspire.—(Cheers.)
Of the opinion which the county entertained of his
Hon. Friend it was not necessary for him to say a
word. They had recorded it on the poll•books in a
manner which would not soon be forgotten. He
knew the character of the men into whose service
his Hon. Friend had just entered. He might now
say it without flattery--for he had no end to gain
by it—that the constituency of the county of Cam-
bridge and the Isle of Ely was the most independent
and honest body of electors in the empire.—(Cheers.)
lie could state with perfect truth, that he had never
once asked or obtained a private favour for one of
his constituents; and he might say, with the same
truth, that he was never solicited by any one of his
constituents so to do.—(Cheers.) He would now
conclude with only one remark. It might, perhaps,
be vanity in him to tell his Hon. Friend to follow
his steps ; but this he would say to him, that if he
did not, he would lose the confidence of his consti-
tuents.—(Loud and continued cheering.)
" Mr. Townley's health" was then drank, with
four times four, and continued cheers.

Mr. TOWNLEY rose, and was received with con-
tinued cheering. Under the particular circum-
'tances of the county he had been called on by a
number of his friends to present himself to the
county—he answered to the call, and the county had
accepted him; he would endeavour to prove to
them by his conduct that his gratitude was in some
degree proportioned to the great confidence they had
reposed in him. They had heard much of pledges.
He had not thought of giving any, and one cause
waS, that no pledge had been asked of him He

felt proud in now acknowledging, that, in the pro-
gress of Reform, no one had ever been returned in a
more flattering manner than he had been on this oQ-
casion. But if he had been asked for a pledge,
knowing him so well as the people of Cambridge
did in private, he would have said at once, " Seek
for some one more complying, and carry your
suffrages elsewhere." After stating the circum•
stances under which he had come forward, the'
Hon. Gentleman proceeded to say, that when
they talked of pledges, he would tell them of one
pledge which he would give. He would pledge
himself, as far as his inferior abilities would permit
him, to imitate and follow the footsteps of the ho-
nest, and upright, and long-tried representative of
the county—Lord F. Osborne.—(Loud cheers.)
He went on to observe that he had always looked
upon the present head of his Majesty's Govern-
ment with a kind of hereditary respect, and that he
felt confidence in the measures introduced by him.
He would admit that there were things in the late
Bill which he could wish to see amended ; but he
had such confidence in the able and disinterested
nobleman at the head of the Government, that het
was sure the measure of Reform which that Noble!
Lord would introduce would be such as to produce'
what ought to be the object and end of all Reform
—the happiness of a united people. Mr. Townley
sat down amidst loud and continued cheers.
The Noble CHAIRMAN said that the next toast
which he had to propose was the health of his late
worthy colleague and their present representative,
Mr. Adeane.—(Cheers.) The Noble Lord, after
passing a high eulogium on the conduct of Mr.
Adeane as their representative in Parliament, con-
cluded by proposing the health of that gentleman.
Mr. ADEANE returned thanks. He found it diffi-
cult to express his gratitude to them for the flatter-
ing manner in which his name had been received
by them. This was a joyful day for the county of
Cambridge, and it was a proud day, too, for all Eng-
land.—(Cheers.) They had returned an honest
man to Parliament, and an honest representative
was a national good. The Hon. Gentleman con-
cluded by proposing the health of their noble and
worthy chairman.

Lord F. OSBORNE returned thanks. Ile had
always acted upon public principle, and he trusted
when his Hon. Friends beside him should retire irons
the situations which they now filled, the freeholders
of Cambridge would find successora for them who
would act on similar principles. He bad scarcely as
much property in the county as qualified him for
their representative, and yet he had beaten the men
of property there, because they were opposed to the
people. His success had been in a great degree at-
tributable to the efforts of friends in the Isle of
Ely, and he would beg to propose the health of the
independent freeholders of the Isle of Ely.
Mr. \VI:NG returned thanks. He congrtpalated
them on the triumph of Mr. Townley and the cause
of independence. In doing so, L begged to say,
that Mr. Townley was rot the only member of his
family that had attained an honourable distincticn in
the course of that yeliN A relation of Mr. Townley
was that year the first Catholic that had filled the
situation of High Sheriff of Lancashire, since the
reign of Henry VIII., when it had been also filled
by a Catholic ancestor of Mr. Townley. Some per,
sons, when the Reform Bill was passing thr;,uitin the
House of Commons, had endeavoir;c4 to obtain a
representative for the Isle of gay itself. If that had
been effected, it vi4s more than probable that
the eettr4y Cambridge as well as the Isle
of Fly would be converted into !ottev 11)0..
roughs. It was greatly to the 93:e';it of Lord
John Russell that when such application was
made to him, he 14,4;_s„id it upon this, amongst
other groupL,---that his father had property there,
and that no imputation should be thrown out against
interestedhi m

from
them on the mise::ati,lc.:l4iluxe whch Captain Yorke,
assisted a.-:z be was by Lord Lowther and his Ken-
dal people, had experienced on this occasion,
The Noble CHAIRMAN next ,:viao cause
of Religious Liberty," and in so expressed his
satisfaction that a large of his constituents,
the dissenters, who laboured under so many disquali-
ficationa when he (Lord F. Osborne) went -into
Parliament, were now placed on an equal footing
with their fellow-subjects,
Mr. FOSTER, a ranker, in the town, and a dis-
senter, returned thanks.
The CHAIRMAN next gave " The health of the
professional gentlemen who had given their efficient
and gratuitous sqrvices tit them at this election,"

Mr. SHAW returned thanks, and 'proposed." The
health of Lord Chancellor Brougham;" which was
drank amidst much applause.
Lord T. OSBORNE next gave the Isaalth of the
Noble Earl at the head of his Majeety's. Govern-
ment, who, he observed, had come.to the head of
public affairs at a time when most men were disposed
to consult retirement and ease—at a time when the
Government was deserted by others, and affairs were
in confusion. The Noble Lord then Went on to
pronounce a warm eulogium on the public and priva•e
virtues of Earl Grey, and concluded by expressing
an earnest hope that he might be spared to see the
full success of that great measure which would send
his name down to posterity as one of the greatest
benefactors of his country.—(Cheers.) It was a
pleasure to him to recognize among the company a
young gentleman, one of the sons of the Noble Earl,
to whom he hoped they might look hereafter for
those talents and virtues by which his noble father
was distinguished..
The Hon, JOHN GREY returned thanks for the
high honour they had done his father. He was site
that his father would be most proud of receiving the
vprobation of so large a portion of bis countrymen.
The next toast was—" Mr. Ponsonby and the
Reformers of Dorsetshire, and insy they profit by
the example we have set them."
Mr. PoNsoNtw, a nephew of Mr. Ponsonby, of
Dorsetshire, returned thanks.
Several other toasts were then given, after which
the company separated.

Mr. Townley's London Committee, at the British
Coffee-house, yesterday received the congratulations
of many persons of consideration on the gratifying
result of the arduous conflict just terminated. .It
appears that the first communication from Cambridge
e Inch authorised the Committee in concluding that
Captain Yorke was about to retire from the confest,
~as an account of the sudden departure or bolt-n of
Lord Lowther from the scene of the election. H's
Llrdship, who it seems is a practised eledionee-rer,
had thrown the whole weight of his influence in fa-
vour of the political protege of the Duke of Rutland
ilnd Lord Hardwicke, although his Lordship's only
landed connection with the county arise from the
possession of a farm in the neighbourhood of New-
market. The Noble Viscount is said to have been
saluted by the populace with the expression of
" Highlass," in allusion to a celebrated sporting
affair which occurred some years ago at Newmarket.
Notwithstanding the readiness of the Cambridge
Reformers to make sacrifices for the cause, the sub-
scriptions in the county and that in the metropolis,
to which the Marquis of Cleveland and the Bails of
Burlington and Litchfield so liberally contributed,
the Committees of the liberal Member are apprehen-
sive that the funds which they have at present at
heir disposal may be insufficient to meet the drains
of an expensive contest, it having been determined
to secure Mr. Townley, not merely against ruinous,
!gist against any serious expenditure. Mr. Townley,
who was educated at Cambridge, where he took his
degree, succeeded to an unencumbered property, on
the death of his father, of about 6,0001. per annum
—an ample fortune for a country gentleman, but in-
adequate to sustain the immense expense of a county
contest. The friends of the lion. Member express
their confident belief that, had the constitutional con-
flict been protracted, the majority against the Tory
Member would have increased beyond 700.

The Monthly Review, after stating that in
London, as well as in England generally, the autumn now
coining to a close, and the latter part of the summer, have
been remarkably unhealthy, and that bowel complaints
have been more than ordinarily prevalent, gives it as its
opinion that " we have had our visitation from the cho-
lera in the shape of this complaint, and that we are not
likely to behold it in any severer form iu this country."
The Right Hon. the Earl of KENNIARE re-
ceived rather a sudden and unexpected letter on Saturday
morning last, requiring his Lordship's immediate presence
at Dublin Castle—it is generally supposed for Lie purpo►e
of being sworn into office as Lord Lieutenant of the
county of Kerry. In obedience to this snandate, his Lord-
ship left Killarney in about an hour after, and proceeded on,
his route to Dublin.—.Linterich Ereai•iy Past.
The legal dignity of Recorder of Bristol is
in the gift of the Mayor and Corporation of that city, and
.has in most instances been held by a resolute supporter of
Tory principles. It was conferred on Sir Cu.s.aLis
WEritraitm. in 1826, when it liecawe vacant by the
death of Lord Garman. The electors of Bristol, in-
cluding the non-resident burgesses, constitute one of the
largest constituent bodies in the kingdom, amounting tts
upwarde of 6,000.

The late Empress JOSEPHINE, like another
amiable woman whom we could nauae, had but little taste
for the forms and splendour of high rank. Oa one occa-
sion (says her recent biographer) when she had traversed
a long suite of apartments to speak to one of her attendants,
the Grand Steward remonstrated on this compromise of
her dignity, adding that her MaJarry should give her
nrders through him. To which the EMPFitSS replied,
" You are quite right, my good Sir, and such neglect of
etiquette might be altogether inexcusable in a Princess
born to a throne, and trained to the restraints which
it imposes; but have the goodness to recollect that
I have enjoyed the felicity of living so many years as a
private individual, and do not take it amiss if I sometimes
venture to speak kindly to my servants without an inter..
preter."
