MARLBOROUGH.

The Marquis of Ailesbury is making every sort of effort
to retain and continue the representation of this borough
in his nomination. His candidates are his second son,
Lord Ernest Bruce, just of age, and Mr. Henry B. Baring
(the son of Mr. Henry Baring), the unsuccessful candi-
date for Canterbury in 1830, and at present the nominee
for his uncle, Mr. Alexander Baring, for disfranchised
Callington, and one of the most inveterate opponents of
the Reform Bill. Mr. Henry B. Baring could not have
insured more than 10 or 15 votes, in addition to the nine
corporators, the old constituents, had not Lord Ailes-
bury at Lady-day last given to all his tenants notices to
quit their houses at Michaelmas, and subsequently conti-
nued to hold such notices over the tenants' heads, and
refusing to inform them whether they are to quit or con-
tinue their tenantries; and as soon as Mr. Iveson (the
Marquis's steward) ascertains the tenant's intention that he
will vote for Sir A. Mater, he is forthwith informed that
he must leave his house. A poor shoemaker, Giles Prater,
told the steward that he could not conscientiously vote for
Mr. Baring, but would give one vote to his landlord's son,
Lord Ernest, and the other to Sir A. Malet. In a few
days afterwards he was told that he must turn out by
virtue of the notice to quit. A Mr. Harding, a Methodist
preacher and schoolmaster, was also told that he must
turn out, because upon principle he said he could not vote
(or either of Lord Aileshury's nominees.
The way in which Mr. Baring's canvass has been con-
ducted surpasses perhaps any canvass that was ever made,
even under the old system. He was accompanied by the
nine corporators and the Marquis's steward, and as a
sample of the manner of their solicitation or demand of
votes, I will mention their call on a carpenter named
Baverstock.

The Steward—l bring Mr. Baring and Lord E. Bruce
to you for your vote.
Baverstock—l shall have no objection to vote for his
Lordship, but not Mr. Baring.
The Steward—Recollect, Baverstock, you are a tenant
of Lord Ailesbury's, and your father and brother are te-
nants of his Lordship; and now, Sir, I ask you for your
vote for Mr. Baring.
Baverstock replied, if it must be so, it must.
Lord Ernest and Mr. Baring have given two dinners to
all the electors they could procure to attend, one on the
7th of August, and the other on the 16th instant. This
is the indirect bribery to which Sir A. Malet alluded in
giving his opinion on the ballot.
I am happy to inform you, that Mr. Lucy has obtained
snottier residence, and is just removed out of Lord Ailes-
bury's house. Mr. Gosling, the banker of the town, pur-
chased Mr. Lucy's new residence at a sum considerably
above the value of it, expressly for Mr. Lucy's accom-
modation.

VIOLENCE AGAINST BRITISH PRO-

PERTY IN MADEIRA.

MADEIRA, OCT. 11.--About six years ago a merchant
built some most noble wine-stores anti granaries in rather
a public situation, the one capable of containing 500 pipes
of wine, the other of containing 5,000 quarters of grain,
and left them, as such buildings generally are, with a mere
rough coat of lime. A few days ago the Town Council,
composed of a triennial judge, two or three lawyers with-
out practice; a person of small entailed property, the
rents of all of which are under arrest for Crown debts ;
a tailor, a mason, a blacksmith, and a barber, all annuals,
determined they would have this building newly plastered
and whitewashed, against Don Miguel's birth-day, the
26th instant, and this at the owner's expense, and on
those conditions the work was put up at auction to the
best bidder, on the 2d instant. The owner, not wishing
his property to be destroyed, sent a man to bid for it, but
the triennial Judge, who is President of the Council,
called him and told him if he attempted to bid for it on
account of the owner, he would immediately send him to
the black-hole--say, solitary confinement. The job was
taken by one of the greatest vagabonds in the town, who
had previously been in gaol for insulting the Consul's
son, and it is supposed was let out on purpose to take
this job.
On the Sth inst. an inferior officer, named by the Town
Council, a sort of superintendent of the butchers' and fish
market, with jurisdiction over the sweeping and paving of
the streets, went to the owner's counting-house, accompa-
nied by his writer• (for he can barely sign his name) and
a rabble of about 500 people, and in the name of the Go-
vernor, but without his authority, it is supposed, demanded
that the doors of the granaries, now full of grain, should
be opened immediately, to let in from 12 to 15 masons,
and as many labourers, in order to break through the
walls to make scaff.lding, or otherwise they would forth
with force open the door.. The owner, considering nei-
ther the building nor grain very secure in such hands, re-
fused to give up his keys or open his doors. The petty
Magistrate then sent a message to the British Consul for
his attendance. On his (the Consul's) arrival, and hear-
ing from this petty Magistrate that he purposed to break
open this Englishman's granary doors, be advised him to
give up the keys to prevent a disturbance by a rabble mob
of about 500 people, which the owner did, and in rushed
masons, labourers, and others, and immediately began to
break through the walls, and to put out beams for the
scaffolding, and in the midst of the grain this work of
stone, lime, and sand is going on.
The owner has made every effort through the Judge
Conservador to get these people, who have the keys of his
granaries and grain, removed, but without effect, as this
judge has given nothing but the most evasive, irregular,
and illegal answers to all petitions made to him, such as
even in Portuguese law, note.l for its chicanery, was
never heard of.
It is supposed the Consul has not made any application
either to the Judge Conservador or the Governor, in re-
gard to this act of violence committed in his presence,
which to all here appears unaccountable, as the owner is
his most particular friend here, and has been for years,
land has been left in charge of, and managed, all his mer-
cantile and other affairs when he has been absent for two
or three years successively, and was the only resident of
any standing in the island who refused to sign the repre-
sentations sent to our Government against him in 1828,
and the only person who dared, in the face of many of his
influential countrymen, and of the local authorities, who
were at that time both much against him, to get up any
representation in his favour.

On Sunday the congregation assembled in the
Chnrch of Monastereven were thrown into a con,iderable
degree of alarm in consequence of an express having ar-
rived for the assistance of the police, the house of JOHN
FOSTER, Esq., of Ballykelley, about half a mi'e distant,
having been attacked by a large party, well armed, who
carried off three stand of arms, together with a large quan-
tity of ammunition. Mr. FOSTER, who was in church at
the time, immediately departed, accompanied by all the
police present;—many of the congregation followed. The
Rev. Mr. MoonE, wbo was at the time in the vestry-
room, putting on his
gown, having ascertained that no
lives were lost, or other injury done, with the exception of
the plunder of arms, &c., immediately ascended the pulpit,
and before giving out his text be briefly addressed the con-
gregation, assuring them that they had no cause of alarm,
as the police had merely left the church in pursuit of the
insurgents. This had the effect of quieting the minds of
the remaining part of the congregation. The neighbour-
hood of Monastereven is in a most disturbed state ;—this is
the fifth plunder of arms which has taken place within a
week, independent of other Whiteboy outrages of various
kinds,—,Limerick Chronicle.
