MALDON.

NALDOIi, EIGHT O'CLOCK.
Upwards of two hours were spent in consultation, after which
the Mayor returned and stated, from what had been laid, before
him, he must reject the application made by Mr. Dick for a scru-
tiny against the return of Mr. Lennard ; and that made by Mr.
Lennart' against the return of Mr. Winn. The I,tlayor then de-
clared Mr. Winn and Mr. Lennard to be duly elected. The
Members severally addressed the electors, as did Mr. Dick,
,but
the latter did not, in-any manner, pledge himself, to petition the
House of Commons against the decision of the Mayor. After
which, a vote of thanks to the Mayor, moved by Mr. Rutt, was
carried by Acclamation. The chairing then took place.

CHESTER-JUNE 22.

The poll was dosed this morning in favour'of Lord Belgrave
and Mr. Robert Grosvenor ; the latter having a majority over
General Egerton of 18.
One man had his thigh broken last night, and many were seri-
ously injured, fortunately no lives have been lost.

The result of this day's poll has in all probability decided the
issue of this severe contest, in favour of the corporation candidates,
Sir C. Hastings and Mr. Cave. Indeed, it is only astonishing
tha't Mr. Evans and Mr. Denman should have polled such a num-
ber of unbought honest votes. It was evident yesterday evening,
that no efforts could recover the lost ground of the eigthth day's
poll; but Mr. Evans's committee representing to him that un-
polled votes remained sufficient still to turn the scale in his favour,
he continued the contest. The poll opened this morning at eight
o'clock, and was declared at four as follows:
Hastings -•- 2572 I Evans - - 1994
Cave - - 2492 I Denman - - 1752

LEICESTER-JUNE Q2.-(NINTH DAY.)

Nearly WO votes were tendered,-but not recorded, in favour
of the two latter candidates. • They were chiefly scot and lot
voters without parochial settlement, and scot and lot residents in
the Friars. On the other side a considerable number of honorary
freemen polled, but these occasional gentlemen by no means an-
swered the expectations of their creators. The expense of trans-
porting themselves to the scene of action extinguished their no-
Popery gratitude towards the corporation, who made them thus
shamefelly to disfranchise the town. The two first candidates
very shortly expressed their obligations to their friends.
Mr. EVANS in a manly and spirited manner expressed his de-
termination not vexatiously to prolong the contest, but intimated
6;4 he should continue it one other day, that the disputed votes

Denman, for professional reasons, had declined to sit again for
Nottingham, and was now a voluntary candidate for Leicester.
In all probability the election will terminate to-morrow.

WEYMOUTH.---WEDNESDAY, Juxx 21.
(From the Dorset County Chronicle.)
The violent and tumultuous proceedings which haVe been car-
ried on here at this election are beyond description. From the
great delay that had taken place on several former days, in conse-
quence of the Counsel on both sides disputing die legality of free-
holders' title deeds, the Mayor issued his orders and proclama-
tion that the hours of polling should be extended to such time as
might be thought necessary, and the law would allow. On Mon-
day, when the hour of four arrived, the mob took possession of
the hall, crying out, " Close the Poll! Close the Poll !" They
then hustled the freeholders from the place of polling, got on the
table of the Court, endeavoured to pull the Mayor from his chair,
and committed the most daring outrages, in defiance of all law,
in contempt of his magisterial authority, and in resistance to the
civil power. The Riot Act was read, and an express was dis-
patched to Dorchester for the military. Previous to their ar-
rival, the lawless rabble committed depredations in the Town-
hall, and threatened to demolish the building. Many respec-
table characters were assaulted, and the most diabolical threats,
affecting the lives of individuals, were made use of. The ap-
pearance of the military produced the desired effect.
Yesterday the same violent and illegal proceedings were re-
peated. The Mayor, and Mr. Gould Read, the assessor, and
other gentlemen, were again most shamefully insulted ; in short,
if more effectual means are not adopted to protect the civit
iauthu-
rity in its execution, it will be impossible that half, the free-
holders in the interest of Mr. Wallace, Mr. Ure, 'Mr. Buxton,
and Ferrer, will be enabled to exercise their franchise at this
election.
The Mayor's staff (says another Correspondent) was broken
before his face, and he was knocked down. Mr. Horaford nar-
rowly escaped with his life through the back premises. The in-
terior of the hall is greatly injured.
WEDNESDAY EVENING,L—The Mayor experienced this after
noon a renewal of the ItisUlti which we have above- described.
Thus is the business of the election interrupted by a hired mob in
the interest of the opposing candidate, Colonel Gordon.
We understand that officers from Bow-street are arrived to
assist in protecting the authorities of the Civil Magistrate during
the remainder of the election, and will be sworn in this evening
to act accordingly.

In consequence of the riot and tumult which prevailed at four
o'clock, the Mayor was compelled by force to close the poll and
read the Riot Act.

(From tio Chelmsford Chronicle.)
The election for the botpugh of Maldon will clot* this day
(Friday), and so early as three o'clock, if the statements put
forth shall be found correct. ' Such t contest as that which will have
been maintained fifteen days, between two of the candidates in par-
ticular (Mr. Lennard and Mr. Dick), has, we think, no parallel in
the' recordS of the borough' of 51aldon. The most earnest perse-
verance favour of Mr. Lennard manifested itself in an early
stage, his friends being'very desirous of showing their strength, by
plieing him Millie first day at the head of the poll. This show of
favour with the great body of electors' was but of short duration ;
re's thi *acorn! day Mr. Winn took the lead, which proud situation
he% 4,ontinnee to Anaintain, so gratifying to the friends of that
geiythinnn,' end so' 'honourable to the freemen themselves.—
On•tbe' litirt,Of Mr. Diek, it must be acknowledged that several
4haya elapsed • before that gentleman became sufficiently known,
and there were some ttporra as regarded his introduction. to the
borough through a connection by no means favourable to his in-
tereitt. Mr. Dick, however, although a perfect stranger, can-
didly declared his political sentiments, and openly avowed him-
self an enemy Ottholie Emancipation. After the lapse of a few •
idaye, the Hon. Gentleman enlisted wider his banners oianyhighly
respectable characters in the county, by whom his Mike has e•irYT
since been'advocated, ,•and even at this lute hour they anticipate
that the rotate Of the poll, as regards Mr. Dick and Mr. Lennart!,
writ be reversed before three o'clock this day. To effect that ob-
ject on die one part, awl defeat it on du other, no distance has
,been thought too great to send for voters; and day have
lbw spent by the partisans on each side to accomplish their um-
Ibitious desires.

take the part of the Solicitors, and disciowthe points in dispute,
which would otherwise be more quickly decided. Perfect good

COUNTY OF LANARK.

Tuesday, the election of a Member of Parliament for the county
of Lanark took place in the County Hall of Lanark, when, after
the usual formalities were gone through, Admiral Fleming, the
Chairman of the Meeting, proposed Lord Archibald Hamilton.—
(Applause. )
Sir Hrsay STEWART, Bart. seconded the motion.
No other candidate appearing, Mr. DRYSDALE, Sheriff-clerk,
being sworn to render a faithful report, took the votes, and the
result was, that Lord Archibald Hamilton was unanimously
chosen, which being intimated from the Chair, was received with
great applause.

IRELAND.

( From the Dublin Patriot.)

TIPPERARY.—The county election came on on Tuesday—that
is, the preliminary forms were gone through, and to-day the polling
was to have commenced. The Candidates are Messrs. Prittie,
Hutchinson, and the Hon. Geo. Dawson, brother to Lord Port-
arlington. Mr. Prittie is the old Member--his election cannot
be doubted. Messrs. Hutchinson and Dawson are new Candi-
dates, and were we disposed to estimate success, by undoubted
claims, we should be as little disposed to doubt the success of Mr.
Hutchinson, as of Mr. Prittie. Indeed we are informed, and we
mention it to the honour, of the county, that almost all the lead-
ing interests, as well as the popular feeling, are as they ought to
be, with Mr. Hutchinson. Mr. Dawson is a non-resident—he is
personally unknown ; should he be elected he will still continue
non-resident. His sole claim is through his brother, Lord Portar-
lington, and his most active partisan is a sort of masculine gentle-
woman who infests that county—Lady Glengall.
COUNTY CAVAN.--By advices received to-day, we find that
nothing could equal the excitement caused by the prospect of the
Election to-day. A determined and persevering contest is ex-
pected. It is said that Mr. Maxwell and Mr. Saunderson have
coalesced together ; and also Mr. Southwell and Mr. Coote.
COUNTY DUBLIN.—The Election for this county commences
on Friday. It is expected to be a long and severe contest. Mr.
r Hamilton has not pledged himself against Catholic Emancipation :
he has therefore not sworn against wisdom—and has avoided a
positive insult to the Catholics. This was good sense, good
taste, and good feeling; it must, it ought to mitigate any very
excited hostility, and to this he will probebly owe his election.
We have it from undoubted authority, that Mr. Hamilton
will receive the undivided interest of Rush on the approaching
election.

British interests in that distant quarter of the globe,
and mentioned the probability if some other nations
taking this step if we did not. Mr. HUSK ISSON paid
great attention to the observaioss of the Deputation,
and promised to cornmuniote with Earl BATHURST
on the subject.

It is so natural, and so excusable, for a beaten can-
didate to turn any poisible circumstance into a topic
of consolation, and tc put, or try to put, a good face
on defeat, that we ire not much disposed to quarrel
with a gentleman ;11 that situation, for the use of any
consideration in ‘list way; and if he can stretch it far
enough to become enamoured with his minority, we
should think a hard to dispel the pleasing illusion.
But whilst sre are ready to allow a great latitude in the
inst any extension of these unc-
tions, of such flattering unctions to one's soul,
we must protest a
tions, should transform them into arguments
on the ire/its of the case ; and, therefore, although
we willingly concede to Lord JOHN RUSSELL all the
self-congratulation resulting from a somewhat hack-
neyed reference to the number of his plumpers, we
cannot admit that this reference has the least possible
tonnexion with an indicatiOn of a favourable sense of
the County of Huntingdon, towards the political
party to which his Lordship belongs. There are
instances, no doubt, in which a comparison of
Anvers, affords some correct. idea of the relative
strength of the individuals, or the popularity of their
politics; and some, indeed, in which it may serve to
show the triumph of a weaker over a stronger candi-
date. The election for Yorkshire in 1807, and that
for Westminster in 1818, appear to us to afford good
examples of our meaning. In the former, a severe
contest took place 'between Lord LASCELLES and
Lord MILTON; whilst Mr. WILBEREORCE,
by ob-
taining the second votes of the friends of both the
Noble Lords, was placed at the head of the poll,
although by far the weakest of the three candidates ;
and, therefore, the number of plumpers might,
on that
occasion, have been fairly referred to, as evidence of
their respective strengths. The latter case is still
more to the point. Sir MURRAY MAXWELL, Sir
SAMUEL ROMILLY, and Sir FRANCIS BURDETT,
stood upon the most distinct grounds ; and it would
have been a fair trial of the respective popularity of the
Tories, the Whigs, and the Radicals, if none but
Anvers had been given : as it was, the comparison
of the single votes, actually given on that occasion,
showed pretty clearly that Sir SAMUEL RostILLY,
with all his boasted situation on the poll, was indebted,
not for that only, but for his being returned at all, to
the circumstance of the more direct contest between
the other candidates, and the facility afforded to him
of obtaining the second votes of their supporters.
But in all eases like the election for the County of
Huntingdon, it is absurd to draw any line between
the plumpers on one side, and the double votes on the
other. Wherever one Whig, and two Tory, candi-
dates,—but no, his Lordship will like the other way
of putting it better—whenever one Tory, and two
Whig, candidates start, in an opposition, not of indi-
viduals, but of parties, every elector who gives a
double vote to the joint candidates, gives
him of

The Paris Papers of Wednesday, and the Etoile
of Thursday morning, were repeived last night. It
will be observed, that it is reported, on the authority
of letters from Bucharest of the 30th of May, that the
Russian Mail of the 22d of that month had not
arrived from Constantinople, and that apprehensions
had been excited thereby that some further delay had
arisen to the departure of the Turkish Commissioners.
This idea seems to be confirmed by the letters from
Odessa of the 3d of June.

We have never entertained but one opinion upoi
this subject. We believe that the Divan bad no m
tention to abide by the conditions of the Ultimatuh
to which it assented, and that the present Treaty wil
not be fulfilled with better faith than any of its pre
decessors have been.

impious aim, to outdo the master genius, un-
less, indeed, like Welch cooks, every Radical
has an original plan of his own, which would cer-
tainty entitle its " suffrage" to the term—universal.
Supposing universal suffrage to exist (and blessings
on the sample,!) would not the country be one pre-
cious scene of turbulence and waste ? The re-

turn of chaos Would be, like Bartholomew Fair,
an annual ranee-show, and the popular effer-
vescence would be a personification of " confusion,
worse, confounded ! Public credit would suffer by
the derangement of social order, and the honour of
our national character be destroyed by the instability
of our public Measures,. which must take their bearing
from the slippery wisdom and changing complexion,
of mushroom legislators. Besides if every mob were to
return its favourite representative (and the most up-
roarious knave would, of course, carry the day), what a
congregation would astonish the classic walls of St.
...Stephens ! The petty interests of the crowd would
be Influenced by the momentary gratification of mis-
guided desire, and these acting in an increased ratio
Upon the individual ambition of each representative in
whose, person the wants of all his constituents would
be centred, the House of Commons would become
the climax of the wants of the people. Every Member
would have a new law for his own mob. The conse-
, luence is obvious. No man of character would enter
the House—and countenance such " admired dis-
order." A race of Goths and Vandals would bear
• the sway, banishing good men from their presence, and
by the folly of their acts destroying all respect for our
Character among civilised nations.

ROME, MAY 25.
The new harbour on the Tiber;called Port Leone, and intended
chiefly for coal ships, was completed a few days ago, and was to
be °polled to the public, when it was all at once discovered that
the sunk pillar of an ancient bridge rendered the entrance of it ex-
tremely dangerous, and almost impassable. It was, indeed, an in-
explicable piece of negligence in the engineer not to have made a
more accurate survey of the river. It will now cost much time
and labour before the harbour can be made useful. The old Ro-
man. proverb, " that ,a Cardinal seldom dies alone," seems likely to
be again confirmed ; for, since the death of Cardinal St. Se-
verina, news has been received fromßologna that the Cardinal Legate
Albani is very ill. We learn that Cardinal San Severino will
not haves successor at Forti, but that that Legation will be united
with Ravenna, under Cardinal Rivalola. We hear much of in-
tended improvements in the system of our management of the
poor. The clergy of the several parishes are to be commissioned
to deliver lista of the persons really in distress; that they may re-
ceive relief. Henceforth, no persons whatever will be allowed to
beg in the. streets: s This would be a most welcome regu-
lation for the importunity and insolence of the beggars.—The
Iroquois Chief begins to excite suspicion in the minds of many
persons. As he would nut pay at Cernig'a hotel, the landlord
let him know that he was not used to entertain his pests for no-
thing.. He now resides in a small apartment in Trinita Del Monte,
Where he is said to be strictly watched, and not allowed to con-
verse with any body. Dining lately at the French Ambassa-
dor's, he is said neither to have spoken a word, nor to have eaten
any thing. The Borgo has now a rather more cleanly appear-
ance since the façades of the houses and hots have been white-wash-
ed, on account of the procession of Corpus Christi. , This white-
washing, however, has become a real abuse, because even the facades
of public buildings, with rich architectural decorations have been
White-washed without reflecting that stone is not white. This
white colour too is extremely painful to the eyes; it is hardly possible
to pass by the church of St. Spirito in Sassta when the sun shines
upon it, without green eye-glasses. Such a mode of disfiguring
ancient buildings and monuments, is real.barbaristn. With 'simi-
lar want of judgment, the bronze doors of the 'church of St. John
de Lateran have been covered with such a thick coat of varnish,
that all the delicacy of the workManship is iso longer to be dis-
tinguished. This fashion of smearing over what is simple and
noble, is become a mania in modern artists.

THE FUNDS.

CITY, Twetie 6' clock, this Day.
To-day being a holiday at the Bank and English and Foreign
stock EXCIIAngo, the Members of the two latter Eitablishments
have met on the Royal Exchange. Consols closed yesterday int
at which price some bargains have been done this morning,
alternately sellers and buyers. In the Foreign Funds every thing
appears quite inactive; the wind continues .unfavonrable for any
arrivals, and there is not a single foreign mail on the books at
Lloyds'.
Half-past One o' Clock.
Every thing remains in the same dull state as in the earlier part
of the morning, and but few operations have taken place on the
Royal Exchange in the Funds. Consols may 'be quoted at
"it for the account ; Mexican, 55, buyera ;. Colombian, 3'71.
Two o'clock.
•
Some business has been done in Consols since our last report,
but the price has scarcely raised per Cent. ; they arenow 79, j ;
—in the. Foreign Funds scarcely any transactions. Colombian
and Mexican Bonds have rather a heavy appearance, the former
37, the latter at 541, 5.
