Let us now examine the expenditure, to ascertain
whether any rate at all ought to be made on the
county with so large an available sum, and we will
take the six last quarters of the expenditure of the
county of Middlesex as our data :-

19s. nd.; to meet which expenditure there are in
cash in the Treasurer's hands, and uncollected rates,
18,5731. 16s. 11d; so that if the expenditure for the
current quarter be according to the average expendi-
ture of the last six quarters, there would still be a
balance of upwards of two thousand pounds in favour
of the County, 'without a_ny rate at all being nzadefor
the current quarter. Notwithstanding which, the
Magistrates at the Conti of Quarter Sessions on the
10th of July, 1834, ordered a rate of one penny in
the pound on the rental of the County of Middlesex
for the current quarter, and as the rental of the County
is five million two hundred and seventy-nine thousand
four hundred and eighty-eight pounds, the one penny
rate will be, as it appears to us, an unnecessary de-
mand, amounting to 21,9971. 17s. 4d. upon the rate
payers of the County, in the following proportions :

We now call the attention of Sir ROBERT BAKER,

the Treasurer of the County of Middlesex, to the 7th
section of the 3d of GEORGE IV., cap. 107, by which
he is required within ten days from and after the
allowance by the Justices of his account, to publish in
three of the daily London Newspapers circulating in
the county, a true and accurate abstract of such
account, under the several heads, with the names of
the Justices who shall h.ave audited the said accounts
subjoined thereto, under a penalty of fifty pounds for
every omission of such publication.

Now we do not mean to say that the Treasurer has
not complied with this section of the Act, and pub-
lished the abstract of the account, audited on the 30th
of June last by BENJAMrN EDWARD HALL, WIL-
LIAM BEETHAM, EDWARD ORME, ROBERT
MACWILLIAM, JOHN GARFORD, but we have not
seen the required publication in any of the daily Lon-
don Newspapers, and we shall be happy to insert any
communication from Sir ROBERT BASER, showing
in what Newspapers the same has appeared.
Having shown the grounds upon which we consider
the rate of one penny to be an unnecessary demand,
we think the rate is illegal, not being made pursuant
to the Act of Parliament, particularly the 10th section
of the 3d of George IV., cap. 107.

NOTTINGHAM ELECTION.

THURSDAY NIGHT.

After the account I sent you yesterday afternoon, in which the
majority (at a quarter to three o'clock) was stated at 800, the
numbers kept constantly increasing, and at the close of the day's
poll the numbers were,—
Sir John Cam Hobhouse, Bart.
William Eagle, Esq.

1,358
372

Majority - 986
The Right Hon. Baronet immediately afterwards announced the
numbers from his Committee-room window, amidst the, hooting of
a mob composed of the lowest characters, but he persevered, and
was heard with some interruptions.
Lord RANCLIFFE afterwards said a few words.

In the evening Mr. EAGLE addressed a very numerous body of
his partisans—thanked those who had voted for him—said the ma-
jority of his opponents were a parcel of ragamuffins, and rejoiced
that the Right Hon. Baronet was not heard, -as it would prove
to the country that the Whigs had lost their popularity. He com-
plained also that the Dissenters had deceived him in not giving their
support to one who had laboured so hard in the cause of Church
Reform. He did not vet despair, as there were more than three
thousand electors unpolled.
Mr. BOOTHBY called upon those who were Radical Reformers
to register their votes on the morrow

FRIDAY.

Notwithstanding the great number of electors who had yet to
vote, it was evident that they would not poll in any numbers. The
Tories held aloof, and many of the middle classes of the liberal party
remained neutral. The voting proceeded slowly, with a small ad-
vance of majority for Sir John Hobhouse. At the close the She-
riffs proceeded at one to cast up the numbers, without waiting till
the next day, and at a quarter past four declared the numbers to be--
Sir John Cam Hobhouse, Bart.
William Eagle, Esq 566

Majority 1,025
The Right Hon. Baronet thanked the electors for the favourable
answer that they had returned to his appeal ; he did not attribute
any factious motives to his opponents, but believed they had acted
from conscientious motives, and he hoped by his future conduct to
make converts of them ; he would not detain them longer than to
express a hope that all animosities would be buried, that they would
return home to their peaceable occupations, and if any ill-feelings
had arisen, that they would instantly cease.—( Cheers )
Mr. EAGLE, from the window of his lodgings, made a long and
virulent address, which was loudly cheered by his partisans, and he
promised to come again next vacancy.
At this moment (seven o'clock) a numerous party of electors is
assembling in the great Exchange hall, to meet Sir John Hob-
house at a convivial meeting, to celebrate his return, and the
triumph of independent principles ; immediately after which he sets
out for the metropolis.
There have been no flags or any colours displayed during this
contest, nor any bands of music, or other excitement.

COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

The LORD CHANCELLOR sat at 10 o'clock, in Lincoln's Inn-hall.
IN THE MATTER OF BROWN, A LUNATIC.

Mr. SIDEBOTTOM applied, upon a petition presented, for the
confirmation of the Master's report, under the statute of the Ist of
the present King. It had been referred to the" Master to inquire
whether two gentlemen were lunatic trustees within the meaning
of that Act, and whether there had been any valid appointment.
The Master had now reported in the affirmative. The petition also
prayed that the Court would be pleased to transfer the fund into the
names of the new trustees, whom the Master found had been pro-
perly appointed ; and to direct them to pay the accruing dividends
to the petitioner, the tenant for life.—Order made.
