heir candidates of the Committee to the least possible cost.
Ile freeholders in every part of the county have pro-
nised their suffrages in favour of its supporters; and if
•ither Sir R. R. Vyvyan or his noble colleague (Lord
Valletort) desire a seat in Parliament, they must seek it
unong a class of persons very different from the free-
'elders of Cornwall. It will be seen that the election fur
he county commences on the 10th of May, and that the
Isy of nomination is fixed for Thursday next. On that
lay the assembled• freeholders wi'l show whether they
vill submit to receive the tools of an oligarchy, or spurn
the, attempt to turn the county into a close borough, by
supporting candidates pledged to Reform, and whose
ivqto will be " Fur the King and the People."—West
Briton.

It is remarkable, that every Baronet belonging to Corr-
wall—Sir John St. Aubyn, Sir William Molestvortb,
Sir Charles Lemon, Sir William Pratt Call, and Sir Rose
Price—are favourable to Reform, and will support tl
-andidates pledged to that measure, on the present oceasior.
llr. Agar Robarts has also declared his intention to &sc.
—West Briton.

PENRYN.—\Ve understand Sir Charles Lemon has
resigned. The worthy and independent electors of that
immaculate borough are therefore on the look out.— West
Briton.

HYTHE.—It affords us pleasure to do justice to the pa-
triotic principles evinced by the out-dwelling freemen of
Hythe, in Kent, who, although they will of course be dis-
franchised by the Reform Bill, yet united in the support
of the old Members, at the election of Friday last, purely
on account of those gentlemen having supported the
mPasure. Conduct like this is above all praise. Corrup-
tion must quail before such magnanimity.
SUDBURY, Mar I.—This election terminated on
Friday evening, the first day's poll, in an unexpected and
extraordinary manner, by Admiral Windham striking hi:
Rag to the anti-Reformers, and abanfloning his maj.) rity of 2C.
SHAFTESBURY—The election commenced on Sa-
turday, the 30th. The candidates are Colonel Matterly
and Mr. Penrhyn, as the nominees of Earl Grosvenor;
cud Messrs. Knowles and D. Trant, on the independent
interest. These four gentlemen all profess to be Reformers ;
but the electors.seem to think it inconsistent for Reformers
to be borough nominees, and consequently Messrs. Knowles ,
and Trant are the popular candidates. Ou the show of
hands the majority in favour of these latter gentlemen was
overwhelming, and at the close of the day's poll the num-
bers were—
For Mr. Knowles For Colonel Maberly 10
Mr. Trant 25 Mr. Penrhyn
Being a majority of 16 for Mr. Knowles and 15 for Mr.
Trant. These symptoms are considered as a prelude to
certain victory, anal the real Reformers (of which the in-
dependent
interest is exclusively composed) are in high
spirits. The feeling against Earl Grosvenor's interest has
greatly increased since the last general election, owing to
his having served 40 of his tenants with ejectments and
notices to quit, for not having voted as his agents ordered
them.

HEREFORD COUNTY.—Sir John Cotterell, the
Tory candidate, has declined the contest. The other two
candidates, Sir Robert Price and Mr. K. Hoskins, both
friends of Reform, will therefore be elected.
DENBIGH, APRIL 27.—When the glad tidings of a •
dissolution of Parliament reached this town, the hearts of
all were filled with joy. Mr. Illyddelton Biddulph, who
represented our borough, and supported the Ministerial
Rill of Reform, is lauded by all, while Sir Watkin Wil-
liams Wynn (our late, county member) is loudly con-
demned by the whole population, with the exception of a
few of his personal friends. The other evening an effigy
of the Hon. Baronet, fantastically dressed, was paraded
through the streets, preceded by drums and fifes, with the •
following speech put into its mouth :--‘, I am opposed to
Refbrm, to the King, and the people ; I am a friend to
the boreughmongers, and a snug place for my brother
Charles." The Hon. Baronet was frequently pelted and
shot at during his progress through the streets, and was
eventually hoisted. to the top of the Market-cross, and

burnt amidst the shouts and exclamations of hundreds of
spectators, the turpentine with which the Hon. Baronet ,
had been copiously perfumed, making a brilliant and long- •
continued blaze—Tempora mutantur.—Mr. Myddelton
Biddulph was this day (Saturday) returned for the
borough of Denbigh without opposition.
WHITCHURCH, APRIL 29.----Sir S. Smith, and
Colonel Townshelid, were this day elected, without oppo-
sition, to represent this close borough. The latter gen- ,
tleman, in his speech to the electors, declared his deter-
mination to oppose the Ministerial measure, which bad •
been called a Reform Bill, bat which he considered an In-
fernal
Bill.

SALTASH.—Both the old Members retire, and two
Reformers will be returned instead of one, Mr. T. H.
Villiers, late Member for Wootton Bassett, brother-in-law
to Lord Durham, and Mr. Raphael.

BARNSTAPLE.—Mr. P. 13. Chichester has com-
menced an active canvass. He avows himself an advocate
for the Reform Bill.
ST. MAWES.—Mr. Spry, of Tregolls, son of the
late Admiral, and a staunch Reformer, has canvassed the
electors of this borough, and will be returned in opposi-
tion to one of the Duke of Buckingham's nominees.
MILBORNE PORT.—The Hon. S. Wortley and Mr.
Lockhart, of the Quarterly, went down here and thought
to contest the place; half an hour's canvass, however, let
them know that they had no chance, and they ran off as
fast as they had entered. Mr. Sheil was put in nomina-
tion by the Rev. Mr. Enson, and, with Captain l3yng,
was returned unanimously by the electors.
CARLISLE.—Mr. Howard and Mr. James made their

public entry into Carlisle on Thursday, amid the joyous
acclamations of the whole population of the city. Both
these gentlemen addressed the people, pledging themselves
to the JUL The enthusiasm against the Lowthers is
without parallel.
CORNWALL.—Mr. Peter resigned on Friday in favour
of Sir Charles Lemon, Bart. an uncompromising Reformer,
whose interests he will support to the utmost, and whose
large property and powerful connections will ensure the
triumph of Reform.
HASTINGS.—Mr. Milward, the proprietor of the
borough, has made a sacrifice here which has defeated all
the opposition of those who hitherto opposed that in-
fluence; he has returned Mr. Warre, one of the opposing •
candidates at the late election, and his own nephew, Mr.
North, who will both vote for Lord John Russell's Bill.
On Friday, the day of election, both parties dined together
at a public dinner, at which an amnesty for past borough-
mongering offences was entered into.
DORSETSHIRE.—Among the many wonderful in,
stances of patriotism on the great subject now afloat
through the country, we may mention as a fact deserving
of record, that not a single solicitor can be found in this
county to accept a fee for Mr. Bankes !
DORCHESTER, MAY 1.-Every well-wisher to the
cause of Reform will rejoice at the rapid strides it is
making in this hitherto quiescent county. Three days '
only have elapsed since Mr. Calcraft declared his inten-
tion of becoming a candidate, and his success is already
placed beyond a doubt. Such enthusiasm, spirit, and
liberality, were never before evinced in this county. Such
is the state of excitement in the county, that it is to he
hoped that Mr. Bankes, when he is made acquainted with
the hopelessness of his cause, will retire from the contest.
WEST LOOE.—Mr. Charles Buller's vote in favour of
Reform has lost him his seat for this nomination borough.
WOOTTON BASSETT.—NIr. Horace Twiss has
been turned out fur incompetency, and Mr. Thomas Hyde
Villiers, for honestly voting in favour of the Reform Bill—
against, it appears, the wishes of the Patron. These two
last instances afford the most cogent reasons for a Reform.
IPSWICH.—Mr. Morrison and Mr. Watson, are cer-
tain of success here; their principles are of, the right sort.
LEICESTER.—Mr. Ellis, of Ludgate-hill, left town
on Saturday to canvass here in the Reform interest, in op-
position to Sir C. Abney Hastings. No doubt is enter-
tained of his ousting the Anti-Reform Baronet, and of his
being returned with Mr. Evans, both pledged to support
the Bill.
WESTMORELAND.—Another glorious defeat, we
hope, is preparing for the Lowthers: Mr. James Brougham
and Mr. Crackenthorpe oppose that family, and we believe
the former will achieve that conquest, for which his great
and gifted brother so often and so nobly struggled.
BUCKINGHAMSHIRE.—Mr. Grenfell and Mr. J.
Smith are received in their canvass with the utmost en-
thusiasm, and all the voters they have solicited promise to
go to the poll at their own expense. The parsons at Eton
College, be it remembered, are exerting themselves against
the King and his Ministers.
WORCESTER, Saturday Evening.—The Anti-Re-
former, Fitzroy, has made his retreat, seeing that the,
freemen of this city were determined to return their old
Nleuthers. It is generally believed that Captain Spencer
.will be returned for the county with Mr. Foley.
MARLBOROUGH.—After Lord Ailesbury's nominees
lad been returned on Thursday, their effigies weieutar:ie
hrough the town, accompanied with tin kett.le% and. burn ~
mud burned in the cross roads, and the bells of the
churrhrs
.were rung backwards.
