place, and all respectable people are rejoicing at the defeat otthe
Radicals.

LEOMINSTER,---tuzsDAY.
Our election commenced here yesterday morning at eleven
o clock. The" preliminary' business completed, the friends
of the different candidates put' them in nomination. Lord
Hotham was 'first proposed, then ,Mr. Blab, and afterwards
Mr. Rowland Stephenson and Mr. Cuthbert. When Mr.
Bish was nominated and seconded, Mr. Coleridge objected
on the score of Mr. fish's (as .he alleged) ineligibity. The
Assemor,-Mr. Powell, was of opinion that the most proper time
to offer the objection would be When a poll was demanded. The.
names of the several candidates were again put to the electors,
and the show of hands being declared for Lord Hotham and Mr..
Stephenson, a poll was demanded on the part of Mr. Nish by
Mr. Davis ; and when the first vote was tendered, Mr. Coleridge, •
on the part of Mr. Stephenson, repeated his objection. Mr.
Davis, with great ability, combatted his argument. The busi-
ness was then adjourned till this morning at nine o'clock, when
the polling commenced with great vigour, and continued till four
o'clock, at which time the numbers were— _

Lord Hotham - - 479 IR. Stephenson, Esq. 21,2,
Thomas Bib, Esq. 367 F. Cuthbert, Esq. -
It is thought that the election will end to-morrow, and no
doubt is entertained of the return of Lord 1-lOtham and Mr.
Bish. Great preparations •are making for the chairing of the
candidates, and crowds are flocking into the town from all parts
to witness the ceremony. All is good order, and the fine weather
gives a life and pleasure to the scene.

CARLISIX-111oxnav Evzrawd.
The struggle here has been just put an end to, and. "'PP' " in
~
a manner little to he expected film" its disastrous Colnu"ncemel`;
Mr. Jamss's nomination and the consequent support which
received, were rather the, desultorrebollitions of an impatience s
seeing the representation of so free a body of constitnents become
&MOM
too easy a prey to a Dissenting candidate, than the ,"
his
own a systematic arrangement to secure his return. Hence, from
the first, his cause, morally discountenanced as it had been by
own declaration, was followed more in a spirit of honourable per-
tinacity than from a well-founded. expectation of . its ultimate
triumph. Throughout this day; however, exertions were riot
wanted to keep undecided the result, but, at close of the poll,
the relative situations of the candidates were thus : ut.

Sir James Grahani, Bart. - '264
Sir Philip Musgrave, Bart. - 240
William James, Esq. - 140
The Returning Officer declared Sir James Graham and Sir
Philip Musgrave duly elected. This ammencement was by 110
means palatable to the multitude, and, accordingly, it was received
with the most lively hisses.
Sir J.tatEs GRAHAM, in a lengthened aped], returned thank•
for the high honour which had been done him, and assured .his
constituents, that he felt his responsibility,' as their agent, Po'
haneed in proportion as they increased their confidence, by .again
returning him.—(l,oud cheers.) -•
Sir Pump Mosnitaet; was not present, • and his feelings to-
wards his constituents are left to be understood. Indeed, how-
ever overflowing the Hon. Baronet's heart might have been with
gratitude, be acted wisely iniceeping the exhibition of that amia-
ble weakness to liiinstif. Since Friday night, when he succeeded
in making his's:weave, we imiletstand he has not since. beer, heard
of at Carlisle.
The chairing of the successful candidate then took place, and
Sir James Graham's welcome to that place of honour left him••
nothing to doubt of its warmth or sincerity. His gratitude was
proportionably lively, and what with the Hon. Baronet's comle-
seension, and the people's good.. humour, they parted the best
friends.

What, however, tended to make the affair a little ludicrous,
WAS., that the mob insisted upou Blaylock's taking the chair after
Sir James had left it, and giving him an airing round the town.
This, it will be recollected, was the person who Proposed Alr.
James, by which he has secured to himself the eternal gratitude
of his fellow-citizens. He is a respectable weaver. Mr. Blay-
lock entered into the frolic with the utmost apparent good-hu-
mour, and we dare say he is not disheartened from again, when
opportunity shall occur, doing all that he can to give thern sn
opportunity of making a choice.

DUBLlN—Secown na-r—(3lol.lDre.)
This morning at an early hour the approaches to the Court-
House were thronged by persons anxious to obtain admission. At,
a few minutes before ten o'clock the doors were opened, when *
tremendous rush took place. At a quarter past ten Mr. Grattan'
arrived, acoompaiiied by Mr. Archibald Hamilton Rowan, and his
brother, Mr. James Grattan. The necessary proclamations haying
been made, and no other candidate proposed, the High Sheriff
declared George Moore and Henry Grattan, Emile, to be elected to
represent the County ,of the City of Dublin in Parliament. The
announcement was received with the most tumultuous applause.
Mr. Monis: then rose to address the Electors, but the uproar
was so great that he was several minutes on his legs before he
could obtain a hearing. Some degree of order, however, being-
restored, he began as follows:
Gentlemen Electors of the City of Dublin_you will, ram
confident, readily believe me when ,I assure you that this is the
proudest day of my life.---(Cheers.).—Gentlemen—lf my election
had been secured through the medium of interest, I should have
found w-wils enough to thank you ; but when I recollect that I
owe my return to the principle of Protestant Ascendancy, I own
feel incompetent to thank you.--(Cheers and confusion which
lasted for several minutes.)
Mr. GRATTAN-, at the sound of Protestant Ascendancy, rushed
forward to address the Electors. In vain the High Sheriff
assured him that he should he heard after Mr: Moore had can"
eluded. He still persisted in interrupting him, and at (virus
having by the advice of his friends eat down, Mr. Moore pre'"
cerded—
Gentlemen, the only mode I can assume to thank my
'pincer*
friends for the unparalleled success with which I have beset
crowned, is to attribute the support they have afforded me to
19
true cause, the principles which I advocate. Gentlemen, I
JOY
Well adopt for my motto— Veni vide vici--(aterm)...—and never
was there a triumph more complete or more powerful--(CheerL"
Gentlemen, you may indulge the proud boast of rescuing the P")-
testant Constituency of Dublin from disgrace.—(Cheers.)—Gen-
tlemen, the result of your efforts has been most unparallelled.
In the history of Parliamentary representation nothing similar to
it can be found. A few days since the Protestant ConatitueneY
was sunk and degraded, and in a single moment, hope wow. W,
have sprung up from the depths of despair..--(Cheers and uproar.)
As far as human being can he relied on, I think I may promise
that yon will not be dimppointed in nie.,and while it will be tuY
greatest boast that you have ennAtletLin me, it will be the pride
of my heart to enjoy that confidence, and my study to deserve.
Mr. Moore sat down amidst loud cheering. Mr. Gait"
then rose to address the meeting. From the lateness of the hour
we are unable to give a report of his speech.

CITY OF EDINBURGII.
Yesterday an extraordinary meeting of the Town Council was
held for the purpose of electing a representative to Parliament for
this city.
The precept of the Sheriff ordering the ejection, the summons
by the Provost to the members of the Council to attend and alert.
and the Act of Parliament against bribery, &c. were read. Mr.
C. Cunningham was elected clerk, and took the oath ; After
which the elector qualified according to form.
The Loan Pnovosr.—l feel that I ahall best discharge stir
present duty by simply recommending the Lord Register to your
choice, and by expressing my wish that your nomination of him
may be unanimous.
This motion was seconded by
.Deacon.
Deacon ParrasoN—l propose that Air. Dun laS be brought into
the room.
This proposal was seconded by Deacon Murray.
The roll was then called, wheri all. the Membas voted for Mr.
pundits, acept Deaden ?maw:, who withal his begfr.

feted on the minutes. Convener Milne was not present. He is
now, Ave believe, in London.

Bailie Gilchrist here introduced Mr. Dundas, who was received
with much applause, mixed with some hisses from the spectators.
111% Dundas--My Lord and Gentlemen—l believe that every
man who hears me will admit that, to a person in my situation, it
• is no easy task to find adequate terms to convey my sentiments. On
such a day as this I may be permitted to recap to your recollection
home of the proceedings in Parliament which applied more par-
ticularly to this city. First, I would direct you to look to
that lofty edifice, which for twenty years stood roofless, now one
of the greatest ornaments of the city. Then to that build-
jog, ever the affairs of which it is my province to preside.—
(Hear, hear !)—With respect to the present posture of public
affairs, I am sorry to think that distress prevails to a great extent
both here and in England, but I am convinced that the adive be-
nevolence of the wealthy part of the community has done all that
is possible for benevolence to perform to relieve those difficulties:.
The country is now at peace, and Government has done all in its
Power to relieve the burdens of the people by the reduction of
taxation ; and I have no doubt that if peace continue—and there
ono reason to apprehend impending svar, as all nations seem dis-
Posed for rest and quiet--those burdens will be still farther re-
duced, We may be dazzled by the splendour of conquest, and
*Wed by accounts of battles won, but my earnest and humble
wish is to see the white sail of commerce swelling in every port,
and carrying the productions of British industry as far as the blue
waters roll, or the winds can waft it.—(Great cheering).
In the afternoon Mr. Dundas entertained about 100 gentlemen
at dinner in the Hopetoun Rooms. After the toasts of the King—
the Duke of York and the Army—Lord Melville and the Navy—
sad the Duke of Wellington, the LORD PRovosT said, he begged
to crave a bumper, which he meant to dedicate to the health of the
Lord Register—Air—" Up and waur them a', Willie."
The Lotto REGISTER returned thanks, and gave the Lord Pro-
vost and Magistrates of the City.
The toasts of the Constitution in Church and State ; the Judges
Blanket--the
the Land ; the Officers of the North British Staff; the Blue
4aoket--the Convener and his Brethren, followed in succession.
The health of Sir George Clerk, and success to his election,
wis next given.
The Lord Register said there was one gentlemen present whose
tea for the welfare of the country was not exceeded by any indi-
lidual. After some farther remarks, lie concluded by proposing
too memory of Henry Lord Melville.
After the health of Sir Walter Scott—The memory of the Lord
'l4f Baron—Mre. Dundas—the Ladies of Edinburgh—The'llo-
oourable Henry Dundas—The Houcairable Baron Clerk Rattray—
