The election of representatiVes for this place closed to-day. The
candidates were Mr. Benson, Mr. Ironmonger, introduced as the
friend of Mr. Sheridan ; and Mr. Campbell, the barrister. Every
evening, Mr. Ironmonger harangued the populace in the Market-
_ _ _

place, Mr. Benson from the windows of the Swan Inn, and
Mr. Campbell from those of the Star. The last gentleman was
powerfully assisted in speaking by Mr. Ryan, of the Oxford cir-
cuit, and Captain Scarlett. On Friday morning, at 10 o'clock,
the candidates were proposed, and the polling began alphabeti-
cally as the voters stood upon the burgesses roll. Mr. Iron-
monger took the lead. On the following day Mr. Benson gained
a decided majority. About two o'clock the votes were all polled
out, and the numbers were— _

subject. lie complained bitterly -of the licentiousness of the

LOKI, Etta.._. We are happy tonntleristand that this Nobleman
will be speedily elevate to the British Peerage, which will, of
course, make it unneeestarY for hina,2to,contiaus his contest in the
North against the Grant and Huntlyintere#o.
Mr. Campbell, of Blythswood, habeen in Glasgow for several

days, waiting upon the Membets of the Town Council, on the
business of the approaching election ; and unless some unexpected
change should occur with respect to' the decision of Dumbarton,
his return thr the. GlitsgoW district of burghs is secured.
The Hon. Lient -General Alex. Duff, brother to the Earl of
Eire, will be returiA for the bUrglis of Elgin, Cullen, Banff, Kin-
tore, and luverary.
We understand that Robert Grant, Esq. of Lincoln's Inn, will
be chosen the Representative of the Royal Bttrghs of Inverness,
Fortrose; Nairn, and Forres.
We formerly mentioned that Lord Francis Leveson Gower was
likely to be chosen the Representative of Sutherlandshire. That
event is now spoken des certain-and there is the same certainty-
that Sir }igh Innes of Lochalsh, Bart., will be re-elected for
the Royal Burghs of Tain, Dingwell, Durnoch, Wick, and Kirk-
wall. Wick, we believe, is the returning burgh at the approach-
ing election.

BERWICK:4H llt E.—The Hon. Captain Anthony Maitland comes
in for Berwickshire, without opposition, on the retirement of Sir
John Marjoribanks, Baronet.

BE RIV 1;): —We understand that the election for Berwick is

Coincry OF CA ITU NESS. —We hear that the representation of
this county will be keenly contested between George Sinclair,
Esq. the younger, of Ulbater, and the Hon. James Sinclair,
brother to the Earl of Caithness.
CouNTY of ELGIN.—We understand the Honourable Colonel
Francis W. Grant, of Grant, will be again returned for the county..

Ennawiton.—Mre mentioned in niir last that a considerable'
number of the Members of the Council had tendered their votes to
the Lord Provost, if he would offer himself as a candidate to re-
present the City in Parliament. His Lordship, however, being
pledged to support Mr. Dundas, felt himself obliged to decline this
offer. Here the matter rests.

COUNTY or INvEaNicss.—Very little is yet heard of the can-
vass for this county; but it is believed there is no doubt of its
being again represented by the Right Hon. Charles Grant, Vice-
President of the Board of Trade.
PerCritsitinv..-.,-The Sheriff has appointed ,the 20th instant
for the election of a Member of Parliament for this county. Sir
Geo. Murray will he unanimously re-elected.
PrtheNwEEM, —ln your journal of the 15th September last,
you give an account of the disfranchisement of our burgh, and of
the subsequent meeting of the Town Council,-in virtue of a war-
rant from, the Privy Council, dated July 19, 1825 At this meet-
ing of Council parties were equally poised, and the electron being
made by the casting vote of the lireses (two persons claiming this
right) a double election was consequently made. The party pre-
viously in possession of the management of the burgh retained the
books, &c. An action was brought against this election before the
Court of Session by the other party, but owing to some informality
in giving the summonses,- the cause was delayed beyond the statu-
tory time in which processes of this kind can be brought, and I
understand that last week the Court of Session sustained this ob-
jection, and dismissed the, action. The following persons are
therefore now the undisputed Magistrates :—James Tod, sen.
chief magistrate; D. Davidson, sen., W. Thomson, J. Hots-
burgh, baillies ; Peter Yule, treasurer. This decision has come
very opportunely in aid of Mr. Balfour's canvass in this quar-
ter, as it seems understood here that the present magistrates
are in the interest of that gentlemen.— Correvondent of the
Fife Herald.

IRELAND.
(From the Dublin Patriot of Satur►lay, JUne 10.)

.
The election for DUblin 'commenced this 'clay.—The period of
an election is naturally one of great popular excitement—what-
ever morbid feelings of discontent and resentment exist in the
bosom of society then burst forth with uncontrolable vehemence.
Upon the great, the absorbing question of Irish politics our opin
ion is decided; and the very animosity and maniac fury we behold
arc but additional reasons to-prove to us that there • is no peace for
this country, until lawa cease to make those distinctions by which
such passions are generated. While we deplore, we shall not par-
take of the passions which deform society. As journalists, we
shall give faithful pictures of the scenes we behold ; but we shall
not be infected with the exaggerations of party. Neither can we,
who ire among the eligible class in society, he supposed to be
infected with the passions of those who are the excluded. The
scenes ofexcitement with which we are surrounded, are to us a
subject of compassion and sorrow—compassion for the busy
'actors in inch maniac scenes—sorrow, that there should still be
found men so infatuated as to wish to perpetuate the system by
which they are caused.
Curs ELECTION.-At ten o'clock this morning, the three can-
. didAcs, Messrs. Shaw, Moore, and Grattan, were on the hustings,
Mr. Haig hnving previously resigned. Mr. Shaw was proposed
by the Lord Mayor, and seconded by Alderman Tyndall, Lord
Mayor elect. A considerable 'delay occurred, in consequence of
Mr. Moore and Mr. Grattan wishing to give precedence to each
other. Mr. Grattan anxious to get a reply (as the candidates
speak in the order they are proposed) •to Mr. Moore, and Mr.
Moore naturally fearing the castigation he would get from Mr.
Grattan. At length Mr. Moore was proposed by Mr. Dawson,
in a speech of Considerable length, which we could not distinctly
hear, situated as. we were, but which we could only judge of by
the maddening exasperation it produced upon the populace. Mr.
Ellis seconded Mr. Dawson.

Mr. Grattan was then proposed by Mr. John D. Latouche ;'
seconded by Mr. Arthur Guinness, two Christico Protestants :
we say Christian, because they recommend principles 'calculated to
Promote that charity and peace which is the attribute of Christia-
nity—and Protestant, because the toleration they inculcate, was
the principle to which Protestantism owed its existence.
The candidates then.severally addressed the Meeting. Mr. Shaw.
and Air. Moore said but little. Mr. Grattan then rose, and really
we cannot envy the feelings of Mr. Dawson, Mr. Moore, or Mr.
Ellis, whose arguments he Wowed and combated in a strain of
masterly and triumphant animadversion. Mr. Lawless next ad-
dressed the Meeting, which then adjourned until Monday.
—The general opinion is, , that . Mr. Grattan and Mr.
Moore will be returned; and, indeed, circumstanced as the City
just now is, it is, perhaps, what should he most desired by the
lovers of peace. The City is distracted by two contending par-
ties.. By each returning one, it would give, more than any thing
else, that feeling of satisfaction to both, that would tend speedily to
bury in oblivion the exasperations of a party contest.
CouisTv MoNscnarl.—A warm contest is expected in this
county. The candidates are Mr. Shirly, Mr. Westenra, and
Mr. Leslie. Mr. Shindy is a new candidate upon ' liberal prin-
ciples, and his election is considered pretty secure. Mr. Wes-
tem.& and Mr. Leslie have been both hitherto exclusionists, but
one must be returned : and we find that between the two, the
Catholics of the county, who are a rich and independent body,
make a distinction in favour of Mr. Westenra. Mr. Leslie,
my they, is an old and incorrigible sinner against us, one
of the ante-deluvian school of politics, too old to • change,
who will obstinately adhere to mischief, and call it virtue
Grey-headed iniquity of that description, should be marked
,with peculiar reprobation. Mr. Westenra, On the contrary,
say the Catholics, has some redeeming qualities. He has
hitherto, it is true, voted against us—he has a brother the
master of an Orange Lodge; nay, he pledged himself against us
on a former election. But he has on this occasion declined to
renew that pledge—he has, therefore, not sworn against wisdom.
Ile it is trop, refused to pledge himself to vote for us. This
is manly ; to changt at this juncture would hear the Character of
an electioneering artifice. His father, too, Lord Rossmore, was
our warm friend; and Air. Westenra is of an age, and has that
rank of intellect which leads us to hope we shall yet find in him
Paclimbaris. We shall support bins. This

to address the electors of Cavan on Sunday. We idled enter more
