The Marquis of Douro has not yet returned from
the Continent, as reported. The last letters left his Lordship
and Mr. Canning at St. Petersburgh.
Bath Abbey, one of the Cathedrals of that diocese,
and one of the few cathedrals in England used as a church for
general purposes, is abolit to be closed, while it is re-pewed
and otherwise repaired and improved.
On Friday last, Mr. Birch, a highly respectable
Furnishing Undertaker, at Knightsbridge, gave a friendly
dinner to upwards of eighty tradesmen with whom he was in-
timately connected, at Mr. Parsons', the Stag Tavern, Ful-
ham Road, Chelsea. The dinner was well served up, and the
wines were of excellent quality. Mr. Long, a professional
singer, delighted the company with his melody, and the evening
passed with the utmost harmony, friendship, and conviviality.
FIRE.---Saturday morning, between six and seven
o'clock, a fire broke out in an empty house at the corner of
Bayham-street, Pratt-street, Camden Town. It appears that
a juvenile ball bad been held on the premises the previous
evening, and the company did not separate till four o'clock on
Saturday morning. The firemen with considerable difficulty
prevented the fire reaching the next house, belonging to Mr.
Spong. The flooring fell in on Mallett, one of the firemen,
but fortunately he has only received a few slight bruises.

Mr. Tennyson arrived shortly before twelve- o'clock in a
carriage and four. The postilions were dressed in scarlet
jackets, ornamented with the colours of the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman. Mr. Tennyson, on arriving on the hustings was re-
ceived with tremendous shouts of applause several times re-
peated.
Mr. HOPE, the returning officer, then came forward, and
announced the state of the poll to be as follows :
Tennyson
Hawes 1,995
Farebrother 931
After the returning officer had declared the election to have
fallen upon the Right Honourable Charles Tennyson, and
Benjamen Hawes, jun., Esq.,
Mr. TENNYSON came forward to address the electors amid
loud and long-continued cheering. He said that the time had
at length arrived when he received from the hands of the elec-
tors of Lambeth the only reward which he ever sought for at
the hands of his countrymen—their approbation publicly ex-
pressed.—( Great cheering.) It was his happy fortune to re-
ceive that testimony through the medium of one of the most
enlightened, intelligent, and important communities in the
land.—( Cheers.) That community had conveyed their ap-
probation of his past conduct in a manner most gra-
tifying and conclusive, by placing him again in the
proud situation of their representative in Parliament—
'. Great cheers.] They had renewed their confidence in him—
a confidence before expressed, not only on the declaration of
his opinions, but upon the knowledge that he would fulfil all
the professions he had made, as he had previously done.
They had rewarded him for fulfilling those professions
by taking him again amongst them—[loud cheers]—by
adopting him as one of those organs through whom the elec-
tors spoke their sentiments in the Commons Honse of Parlia-
ment.—( Great cheering.) The electors of Lambeth had
placed him in that proud pre-eminence at a period when effi-
cient counsellors for the public good were more required than
at any period in the history of the country.—( Cheers. )
The intelligence that reaehed ' him every day from
all parts of the country, showed him that the old enemies of
the people's good were again at their dirty work, trusting by
intimidation throughout the land to check the independent
voice of the people in the Common's House of Parliament.—
(Loud cheers, and cries of " They shall not.") The
decision of the people at the present important crisis
will disclose whether the Reform Bill was calculated
to follow out the spirit upon which it had been constituted,
and whether those who had toiled for many long years in the
cause of Reform, and had made sacrifices both of public in-
terest and private importance on the altar of their country.
The decision of the people on the present occasion would show
whether those toils and sacrifices had been made in
vain.—( Loud cheers.) It would show whether the
arrangements of that measure, standing as it now did, would
secure for the people a representation in Parliament, which
could and would follow out that great object for which alone
the Reform Bill was passed, and those sacrifices made.—
( Cheers.) If, however, it was found that instead of the
arranpements being effective, that the Tory clause
in the Reform Bill giving votes in Counties to
the fifty pound tenants at will, was injurious to the interests
of the people—if it were found that there was a want of a due
and sufficient protection to electors in giving their votes--if
it were found that the men who are in power were deter-
mined to use the prerogative of the Crown, in order to defeat,
counteract, and coerce the people—then it would be the duty of
every Englishman, with as much correctness and as much
anxiety as he expressed upon the Reform Bill, to demand
freedom for the elector in giving his vote, either by the protec-
tion of the ballot--( Great cheering)—or some other protec-
tion by which the elector could have a free, full, and just, but
not an unlimited extension of suffrage, but certainly such an
extension of the suffrage as would include all householders,
and also the shortening the duration of Parliaments.---( Loud
cheers.) Now, what would the Tory Ministry do, if by
means of their corrupt artifices they should accomplish a
Parliament to suit their own purposes. Did the electors sup-
pose that they would not keep it in existence for six years ?
( Cries of " Seven,"), aye, for seven ; and what
might not be done in that time?--[Cries of " the country
would be ruined.") What would be the protection of the peo-
ple when such were in power, unless the duration of Parlia-
ments was shortened?—[Cheers.] What would become of
the people of England, even with any administration, without
checks of that description—[Loud cheering. ] He held
it to be a matter of paramount duty and importance
that some means should be devised to carry on elections
by which men should not be dictated to, intimidated, or driven
to the poll like flocks of sheep.--[Cheers.] There should be
such a responsibility attached to those who are sent to repre-
sent the people of the House of Commons, that they dare not
betray it.—[Cheers.] There were too great objects for the peo-
ple to have in view in sending their representatives to parlia-
ment. The first was the redress of their grievances. —[ Cheers.]
One parliament might redress grievances and the other increase
them.—[ Cheers.] Another object was, that political security
hereafter, which would maintain the liberties of the country
by amending its institutions, from time to time, as the wants
of society gradually arose. If such a course was pursued,
it would be the means of conferring happiness and prosperity
upon the community, and would have the means of preventing
those fatal catastrophes which might take place, if the people
found their liberties had been invaded.—( Great cheering.)
In stating this, he assured the electors, that his object was to
build, not to destroy—to reform, for the purpose of upholding
to preserve the institutions of the country, and to make the
people feel that they had an important power, and in fact that
the people of England were only subject to such checks as they
thought it expedient should exist for the purpose of preventing
them from falling into those extremes which might occur
from popular effervescence.—( Great cheering.) Let the
people know that the King was the father of his peo-
ple. Let the House of Lords know and feel that they
existed only for and by the people and that they were
trustees only for them.—[Great cheering.] Let the people
feel that such was the condition of the Government, and they
would have that pride in their institutions, which would
generate patriotic loyalty towards the Throne, and would
form the chief power and glory of the country.—[Cheers.]
With respect to the local affairs of the borough the electors
might depend upon finding him over devoted to their service—
himself and his colleague as soon as they took their seats in
the House of Commons would go there in the discharge of their
duties, and nothing would pass as far as he was concerned
to disturb the unity that existed between them ; such were his
sentiments, and such his opinions, but after what had passed
the other evening, he felt called upon to say a few words more
upon the local interests of the borough. His Hon. colleague
invited, he supposed by some expression of his, had laid claim
to having performed all the local business of the borough. It
was true that a greater portion of it had been performed by him ;
but he asserted, and he called upon his Hon. Colleague
to contradict him if it was not so, that he had shewn
every anxiety to give him all the assistance in his power in the
local interests of the borough.—( Great cheering.) It was
natural that his Hon. Colleague should be first called upon.
—( Cries of " Hear, hear.) He did not reside in the borough,
but he would appeal to the electors assembled if when
he had been asked to apply himself to local affairs,
whether he had not with the greatest alacrity applied himself
to their consideration.--( Cheers.) The only two local
matters that he recollected was the Camberwell Poor Bill,
and a Bill for the better supplying of water to the
district of Lambeth.--( Hear, hear.) Those two measures
had been entrusted to him, he had been Chairman of the
Committees on both of them, and on those occasions he had
discharged his duties in the way he invariably should do,
not looking to the individuals who had brought the measure
forward, but to the course best to be adopted for the interests
of the whole constituency which lie represented. Those two
measures were net passed exactly in the shape in which they
were introduced, but great satisfaction had been expressed
towards him even by the parties who had introduced tho
measure for the course which he had pursued. According
to the statement of the returning officer—he was now at the
head of the poll—he was sure that he should be so on Satur-
day, and the observations he then made had been caused by a
supposition that some of the Committee of his Honourable
colleague had not acted fairly.—( Cries of " They did.")
from what had taken place on the first day of the polling he
did not imagine that lie should be at the bead of the poll ; he
was quite sure that all that had arisen was from mistake.
Some of his friends had split their votes on Friday. The
Committee of his Honourable Colleague felt jealous, and
a competition was the result for the high honour of being
placed at the head of the poll on Saturday. If his honourable
colleague and himself had not split their votes—and he trusted
if any Tories were present, they would attend to this—they
would have been lifted much higher upon the poll, and would
at least each of them have been 1,500 a-head of the Tory can-
didate—[ Cheers.] That startling fact, he thought, would deter
any candidate from again coming to the field. lf, however, such
should be found he would always be ready to draw swords with
