tiro-thirds of those whom Lord J. Russell pledgcd
;himself should have a vote on this occasion, hal
been disfranchised. He was the Crown Solicitor ; it was
his duty therefore to watch the clauses and promises of
the Bill, in other that nothing might enter into it which
had a tendency to destory the efficiench. A little provi-
sion to the Both clause, which had no marginal note,
Which he had intro luced, many thousands of the electors
Lad been disfranchised. He charged Sir W. Horne with
incapacity as a legislator. By the Bill of Rights no place-
man should be returned to Parliament, and while Sir W.
Horne refused to give pledges, how could the electors be
satisfied that he would not be as relentless a persecutor of
the Press as had been Sir J. Stmrlett, or Sir T. Denman.
This was a virgin vote, let it be a pure and undefiled one,
and let not tht electors by returning a placeman fly in the
face of the Bill of Rights.

TOIVER-HAMLETS.

This morning there was a great bustle in the neighbour.
hood of Stepney Green, in consequence of a great portion
of the inhabitants of the district having, for the first time,
to exercise one of the most noble franchises which Eng-
land could boast of, the effect of the Reform Bill.
Our reporter took an early station, and hence gathered
a great many sentiments of the new electors, who, f.r the
first time, came to what they called the scratch, to do
their duty. We cannot omit to notice the good
advice of one old man, who said, "he never ex-
Peted to have seen such times as these." He

- -
14"1, "My b ,ys, don't fill out by the way—despise
not the manna you have obtained, for if you do, forty
Years' travail in the Tory wilderness will be your doom,
before you can drink and eat of the milk and honey of
Reform." We understand the obi veteran said this in
anticipation of the partisans of the several candidates
being all declare:l Reformers; hence he concluded, " See
that you fall not out by the way." It will be seen in the
sequel whether the patriarchal advice was attended to.
Captain MARRYATT had a number of show-boards,
With numerous inscriptions, such as—
" Alarryatt, and No Assessed Taxes."
" Church Reform."
"Protection of British Labour."
" Real Reform."

" The Protector of your Rights and Interests," &c. &c.
The booth which is to be the arena of debate, was on the
blest inconvenient part of Stepney Green ; and, consi-
dering it was Saturday, a great number of genteel inhabi-
tards and householders made their appearance. As the
committees of each arrived, there were different yells From
the mobility. "No lawyers," "No flogging in the
lnYt" " I'll vote for the Lushy cove." It was quite
• evident that some who wore the colours of other candi-
dates than the Learned Doctor alluded to, had part9ok of
the libations of Lushington.
The candidates are Dr. Lushington, Colonel Stanhope,
capt. l'darryatt, and W. Clay, Esq.
The hustings were formed on too small a scale, so that many
gentlemen who had tickets could not get a standing. A
Posse of police were in attendance, and too much praise
cannot be given to Mr. Reynokls, the High Constable of
the new borough, for the amazing tact he exercised on the
Occasion to preserve decency and order.
The meeting was expected to have been held at nine,
ant as the hustings were not complete, eleven was sub-
stituted.
The different candidates arrived a little before the last
named hour, accompanied by all kinds of music, the dul-
cimer iicepted, and the hazz as of the multitude made the
tirrouniling cottages of Stepney totter to their foundation.
banners and flags, with various inscriptions, arrived.
Cone belonging to Colonel Stanhope, upon which was the
I` Suppliant Negro and Slave Emancipation," appeared to
excite attention.
We write as we can; it must be by way of narrative ;
batr We cannot omit to mention an attempt made by some

Cho old stager, he resolutely refused to vacate his seat,
~king that possession is nine points of the law.
Before the candidates were put in nomination, a curious
icons presented itself—viz ,an attack upon each other's
e "tv-boards by the Mari yattites awl the Stanhopeites,
thereby many were broken to atoms, and the standard
n,"ing been loot, eat parties fought with their staffs.
sortie hats were delapidated and some heads broken, but
I,othing more serious occurred. A gentleman observed,

At a quarter to 12 o'clock, Mr. REYNOLDS, the High
‘-;',stable, came to the front of the hustings, for the pur-
Ne of snaking proclamations; when, through the trickery
I 'awe one, both horse and rider fell, which caused great
ikasternation. The rider, however, was wit seriously in-
t,red, but the accident occasioned some delay. Proclama-
kas having been read,

i-vrh °ugh was not among the least of those connected with

thi.th Which they had been invested ; because, any

Ireh they had obtained. He trusted that as gentlemen

l'ent, 80 that every speaker might be heard.—(Applause.)
J°lll4 BALLANCE, Esq., then proposed Captain Mar-

t'agh in Parliament. Gaant Gentleman w

4) Captain AIARRYATT came forward amidst applause and
marks of disapprobation. The G Want Captain, in
I,l4,?ornmeneement, was interrupted by a clan of s, hat
tfellows in the middle of the immense throng ; when
