IPSWICH ELECTION.

The Ipswich election has been proclaimed for Wednesday ;
Messrs. Bond, Clamp, and Arthur Bott Cook, three of the
witnesses who absconded to avoid examination before the re-
cent Committee, were all in Ipswich yesterday (Friday).
The new contest is likely to be a strenuous one—the Re-
formers are confident of success.
Mr. Sparrow, one of the agents for the late sitting Mem-
bers, also arrived at Ipswich yesterday. This gentleman is
the Town Clerk of Ipswich—he was one of the avowed agents
of the late sitting Members.
The Resolutions of the House it will be remembered, were,
4‘ That R. A. Dundas and F. Kelly, Esqrs., were, by their
friends and their agents, guilty of bribery and corruption at
the late election.
That J. E. Sparrow and J. Clipperton, the avowed agents
of the sitting Members, aided and abetted the absconding wit-
nesses in keeping out of the way to avoid giving their evidence
before the Committee."
The Reformers have a close eye to all these gentlemen, and
it remains to be seen whether they will venture to take part at
the ensuing, after the recent disclosures as to the last, election.

THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 11.
-On Tuesday last, some of the friends of Mr. Parker
dined at Coffleet, near Yelnipton, the residence of the Rev.
Mr. Lane. The company consisted principally of those who
had, through the influence of the black gowns, voted for the.
Conservative representative.
We understand that 5,000 persons have signed the petition
from this town, got up on behalf of the Dorchester Unionists
now suffering the sentence of transportation.
Mr. Matthews, the celebrated comedian, continues still in
a precarious state, though he has for the last few days expe-
rienced some comparative ease.
We have just learned, that during the violent thunder storm
which visited this place on Saturday last, a barn, and othet
outhouses connected with a farm situate in the parish of
Plympton, were completely destroyed. The dwelling-house
fortunately sustained no injury. No lives were lost.
The Earl of St. Germains has arrived at his seat, Port
Elliot, from a tour on the continent.
Wednesday evening, June 10.
A few days since, the sale of teas, which was announced to
take place at the Exchange, in this town, as the first since the ,
opening of the China Trade, was held pursuant to public ad-
vertisement. In consequence of the high terms in which the
qualities of the teas in question were mentioned, throUgh the
medium of the local press, there was a very full attendance of
persons interested in the trade. The teas were announced in
the advertisements to be 104 chests and ,ores, «ex Eliza
Stewart, Alexander Baring, &c., from Canton." They
proved on examination to be such ---as well as ex Cohanha,,a
bad ship, whose cargo was not disposable in the Liverpool
market. The first description of tea offered for sale at the
auction referred to, was 28 boxes Orange Pekoe. The cha-
racter was middling strong. The putting-up price vas
3s. 21d. per lb., but no person advancing on that amount it
was withdrawn. The next lot put up was 21 boxes Gong"'
at Is. 3;d.--withdrawn. Seven chests Congou, at Is. 4id•
—withdrawn. Nine chests Con,,ou, at is. 71d.—withdrawn•
Twelve chests Congou, at 2s.' 4d.--withdrawn. Fifteen
boxes Hyson Skin, Is. 81d., character bright middling strong
two boxes, bought by persons out of the trade at is RV.--
the remainder withdrawn. Five chests of Congou (Company to
teas) put up at 2s. 81d.—withdrawn. We understand, that
had the bulk of the teas been offered at half the putting-up
price, there would hardly have been a purchaser for them, the
quality, being so very inferior.
We understand that Messrs. E. and R. Scott, of this placer
have entered into a contract with the Government authorities
