CAMBRIDGE, MARCH 30.—Sir Charl,s Smith, of Trinity
College, was Friday last admitted tone degree of Honorary
Master of .its.

The Preacl.er at St. Mary's, to whom the Sunday afternoon
tarns for the montl)3 of April and May are assigned, is the
'Reverend C. Benson, LI,A. of Trinity College, the Hulsm*

Lecturer.

MR. GRATTAN:—We are i.appy to inform our
Readers, that our venerable and reTected Re-
presentative, the Right Hon. H. Gr kTTAN, is so
far recovered from big hue severe indisposition,
that he is already preparing to embark tor Eng-
land, to attend his Parliamentary duty in the en-
suing campaign.—(Dublin Evening Post.)

The 18th Hussars, now at Cork. bad no less
than four Candidates for seats in Parliament—
Col. HUGHES has been returned for Grantham ;
Lieut.-Colonel CLEMENTS anti Lieut. Nesnyr,
stood for the county of Leitrim, and Captain
O'GRADY for the county of Limerick. It w1:1 be
rather a novel thing to see so many Members of
Parliament in one corps.
FIRES IN THE NEW FOREST.—Last week, the
fires that have so long created terror in the
minds of the residents in the New Forest, Hants,
increased to an alarming degree ; five large inclo-
sures were all burning at the same time, and
considerable damage has been done to the young
oaks and !lollies. Last Sunday two fires of
mense size were first okierved by Mr. Bulkly's fa-
mily, who gave the alarm to the keepers, to the no
small alarm of Lady G. Bulkly and the rest of the
family, who were going to bed, as it had the ap-
pearance of being close to Mioesteed-House.
Many persons of suspicious character have been
brought before Mr. B. (who is an able Magis-
trate) but •notbiug can be traced. At Linwood
damage has been done to the amount of 11,0001.
Last week, in laying the foundation of some
houses in a close adjoining the town of Newark,
on the Partition Road, were found the remains of
some gibbet irons ; and on Monday last, the bones
of two human bodies, buried in a ditch, about a
foot under the surface, adjoining the high road.
The bones of one were of very large' dimensions;
the thigh bone measuring above nineteen inches;
they were in a good state of preatrvation, and the
large skull had a most beautiful let of teeth quite
perfect.

[Extract of a Private Letter from Manchester, March es.]
" I am sorry to inform you, that about one
o'clnek this looming, a sentinel at the Barracks
in ScThies-street, near the New-cross, was fired
or by some onknown villain. The ball very for-
tunately misted its aim. It appears to have been
foci! from a pistol in an .elevated situation, No
cause can b' conjectured why the poor fellow
tkhoold be Cited at.—The Boronghteevis and Con-
sndhles of ,Nlanellester have, with Clair usual
prom;H:ilde acrd liberality, offered a reward ot
bitty Guineas roc the discovery of the person who
shot at the sentinel.—The itrelligvoce of the eon-
%intim) ot Hoot and his associates arrived here
last night at twelve o'clock by express. Alany
persous were waiting at the Police Office With
Cie gteatest anxiety, to know the result of the
trial. Hunt had ammoneed, previously to going
Po York, that lie should make a triumphant entry
itrto Alencliester at!er his acquittO, which he as-
serted was certain'. It is reported a car had been
prepred for the occasion, and that it was the in-
tention- of many of the Radicals, nor only in Man-
chester; I,rii it 80l on; Stockport, &c. to illumi-
nate theirhonses. The expected return of Hunt,
in case of acquittal, mita) alarmed Many persons
ecru amongst those who do not generally concern
themselves about politics: The result ot the trial
has, however, removed their fears ; though I un-
derstand that Saxton and Moorhouse, who were
acquitted, intend to make it sort of public entry'
into the town ICP•Inot row."

[TheTinies.]

A Leeward Islands mail arrived yesterday, but
the letters are extremely barren of political intel-
ligence. Advice.s had been received at Trinidad,
that General Bolivar had reached his head-rivar-
ters nn the Apure with a force of 2,000 men, who
had accompanied him from Angostura ; and that
the campaien would commence in the period be-
tween the-ist and the 15t1) of February. The en-
tire force under the command of the President
would be little short of 12,090 men. Morillo's
army, it it stared, had been greatly thinned by
desertions, particularly among the Creoles. The
expedition from Margarita, consisting principally
of British troops, and destined for some part of
the Spanish .main,, to form a junctioa, as was
s,upposed, with General Bolivar, had not sailed
on the 11th of February.

PROVINCIAL JOURNALS.

HUNT.

We are indebted for the following striking de-
tection of the hypocrisy of this man to The Bir-
mingham Chronicle of yesterday, and we feel gra-
tified that two such Papers as that and The Com-
mercial Birmingham Herald are published in that
important manufacturing town, to check the ten-
dency of Radical contagion.—
. While the trials of Orator Hunt and his as-
sociates were depending at York, we thought it
right studiously to abstain from any remarks on.
the proceedings ; but now that the reasons which
induced our silence have ceased to operate, we
cannot forbear expressing our contempt and ab-
horrence of the cold-blooded hypocrisy of the
'arch dissembler, who with tears in his eyes de-
recited the disgrace of being considered as the
associate of Carlile. We speak not rashly when
we say, that Hunt attended Carlile every day
tic oughont his trial, that he sat on his right hand,
arranged his papers, and afforded him every as-
sistance in his power. He then volunteered the
aid, which he now unbleshingly denies that he
gave. But Carlile was then unconvicted.- He
stool in the enviable situation of a man perieented
by the Government, and enjoyed the oppottlinitY,
so remelt coveted by all true Radicals, of insulting
the Law Officers of the Crown, and braving the ,
-justice of the country even in its very sanctuary.
The wretched man is eow suffering the tine re-
ward of his misdeeds, he is withdrawn from the
pestiferous breath of mob adulation, and stamp-
ed with the contempt of every honest man in the
kingdom. Not indeed that this latter circum-
stance would of necessity render hitn unaccept-
able to a true Radical,sbut he has no more power •
of doing mischief ; and Hunt knows well
enough that his ecenaintance tronld not recom-
mend him to a Jury. He therefore casts him off
without remorse or shame, and dares, in the very
presence of the Conesel for the Crown, who, had
be chosen to add still further to the weight of
infamy by which he was oppressed, might have
repeated his assertion from his own knowledge,
to deny that he was the eider, the abettor, the
associate of the infuriated infidel.
" But such are the • morals of Radicals. It
costs them as little to desert and disown a friend
in distress, as to connect themselves with the
most profligate and abandoned characters, for
the sake of furthering their views.
" While Carlile could serve their cause, his
Deism excited no abhorrence in their minds; but
when himself a prisoner, and no longer useful,
then he is suddenly discovered to be tint fit com-
pany for the Lord of the Manor of Glastonbury.
But the connection of Radicalism aid Infidelity
ie too notorious to be denied. Not even the
crocodile tears of the Spa-field, Orator can efface
this spot from their escutcheon ; nor if all the
sober and religion:; voters of Cove;k:ry, who were
so anxious to vote for Cubhett, were to bear tes-
timony to the purity of Radical faith and virtue,
would the Public forget that Cathie the Deist was
the chosen aQsociate of Hunt, the culprit to whose
defence his titile r‘A his talents (precious
valuable gifts 1) were gratuitously and publicly
devotad."

MIDDLESEX ELECTION:.

TWELFTH DAY.-(;LOSE OF TUE POLL,

The poßtug yesterday was extremely slack, hilt!
the hustings very thinly attended. It arm'eared as
if the eagerness of the contending parties had al-
ready exhausted the lists of freeholders. Tran-
quillity prevailed is the town ot Brcntford, and
the choice ot Representatives seemed no longer a
matter of interest to those who had been the most
clamorous advocates of the popular Candidates.—
At four o'clock Mr. MELLISH had only gained ten
on the formidable majority of his opponent, Mr.
WHITBREAD.

Upon the close of the poll, Mr. Sheriff Parkins
concluded a senifie be had with' his colleague, Mr.
Sheriff Rothwell, and a Gentleman on the scaffold,
erected for the use of the Candidates in addressing
the populace, by informing them, to use his own
words, that the finishing of the Election would
terminate that day. He hoped the day's proceed-
ing world he tyvtrked by the same good conduct
they had shewn hitherto. This, my duly elected
colleague, " the duly elected Sheriff," sail he,
pointing to Mr. Sheriff Roth " will address
yon, an►t I beg you will give him a tnighi y patient
hearing, as no doubt he will say something to
amuse you."--(A
Mr. Sheriff Roll] don't know whether,
in thus addressing you before the poll is announc-
ed, we are strictly in order.

Mr. Sheriff PARKINS (placing his hand before
Mr. Sberiff Rothwell, and taking a stride across
the seaffold.)—Well, Gen!lemen, he says jrh don't
know whether he is in order or not; sbew
him that you can keep order.

Sheriff Rothwell retired upon being interrupted,
whilst Sheriff Parkins laughed aloud and erbockled,
at having so effectually silenced his colleague.
Soon after the violence of this transport had sub-
sided,
Mr. Sher:!} ItoTtiwect. came to the front of
the hustings, and said, that in consequence
of Iris having just then experienced a most se-
vere domestic misfortune, by the loss of a beloved
daughter, delicacy he hoped would have prevent-
ed his experienciag .any such unseemly interrup-
tion as that which they had this day witnessed.—
In consideration of the state of his feelings, he
trusted they would excuse a resolution he had
hastily formed, owing to the interruption he had
received, not to address them, as he had till now
proposed to himself, and for more reasons than
one anxiously desired.---(Loud cheering and cries
of " Shame, shame, Pet king I")
Mr. Sheritl PARKINI—'4 You can't 'be surprised,
Gentlemen, at my conduct to my legally elected
Colleague just now. If I had not exerted my
own pt rsonal strength, I should have been hulled
on your heads offthis scaffold—(Serve you right !)
—but I'll let them'linow they are not in Guild-
bell, nor subject to the technicality of tire citi-
zens there. I'll yet make them (eel for their c0.,-
duct. I have affidavits of several persons to sh.ov
the nature of the rascally conspiracy the Corpora-
tion have entered into against me. I hope
you'll not permit any interference here against
the exercising of my executive authority. I
shan't descend to the cause of -their beggarly
interference with me, All I shall say is, they
have elected for my colleague a chap who had
been many years on special jury causes at Guild-
hall, and he ought to know more of law than
to contend with me in my paramount do-
ties. This man, toy colleague, they had mo-
delled to their own purposes, by subjecting
him peevionsly to every disgraceful degradation,
and then because the Corporation had been disap-
pointed in guttling and gormandizing at the Elec-
tion, they had raised a cry that I was a Dog and
Duck waiter, a keeper of a tuad-house, and such
trash ; but 1 shan't be borne down by such trash
out of the month of any one or any set of men.
So Mr. Rotbwell was declared senior Sheriff, and
1 junior, although elected t‘ivo !Booths before
hint. Yet -the corrupt press lent itself to this
sort of foul calomny; but I trust you'll_ destroy
this interference by this most loyal and very good
Corporation, that bad been running the City in
debt, with a revenue of 150.0001. a-year, and still
continued borrowing money. There was 14,0001.
_still owing, which was bot rowed to entertain two
men, instead of giving the poor a hearty meal,
as he- loolllOne, when he gave a tneal to 1300 per-
sons, which coot him thirty pounds out of his
own pocket,—(Loughing.)—No-, they were ail for
stuffing until they became complete turtle-eaters.
louder laughter and liiasze.Y--lle con-
chtded witt'a turgid-eulogy on the .Duties of that
office, be bore so much to tbeira,diffitita4rs And so
creditably to himself.— (Itomoderate Laughing)---
liebonq they would keep the peace, as their con-
duct had already exceeded tbe-exneetation of their
enemies, anti one accident would do away all that
had been done."—(here be strode about the
scaffold and after:tired to bow several times )
The poll .was here announced. -
The Returning Offich's Clerk here came for-
ward, and after announcing the purpose for which
they had been called together, informed them
that the numbers stood as follow
For George Byng, Esq.
Wm. Esq '3073
Samuel Charles Whitbread, Esq. 356.5

And that the livturningflicer had returned
Geo, Byng, Esq. and Samuel Charles Whitbread,
EFq. as duly elected their Representatives.—
(Here a shout 'of tumultuous applause rent the
air, and the populace assumed the appearance of
perfect satisfaction and trammillity.)
Mr. MELLisa then appeared and addressed the
crowd—" Gentlemen Electors, the agreeable in-
telligence to many of you, which you have just
heard, has been announced to you this day in con-
sequence of my having retired from the coutest,and
1 trust you will therefore consent to bear me make
a few waservations.---(1-lear, bear! Certainly.)—A
person placed in my situation was not to do exactly
what he would wish ; he must give sufficient time.
, . •
to tits voters, or ra!ber those who bad promised him
their votes, to come lip. The period of their coming
up to give I it votes is not in his control,an'l they
mus, tike their own time. But as soon as such
a time as might le, fairly considered sufficient had
elapsed, then 1 considered it was my duty no
longer to keep the poll open, and subject the
county to the continuance of all manlier of tint and
confusion. In another point of view, 1 telt it
peculiarly desirable that, under the circumstance,

polling should not be carried on upon Good Fri-
nay. As soon as 1, therefore, colisidered sufficient
tints; had ela;tsed for giving those who had promised
me their stiffiages, an opportunity of coming
up to the hustings, I de,ermioed to wi.hdraw
ftom the contest. Most sincerely grateltil nut I
to those Gentlemen who have given me their votes
-and all I should now aspire to is, that all patties
Concerned in this Election, should consider oar I
have, throughout, conducted myself totvaids all in
a Lair, (rank, and honourable manner."---(Bravo
you have well dovie, Mellish.)—A profound silence
was observed ft out the commencement to the con-
clusion of his speech.
Mr. BYING confessed that he always felt in a
certain degree embarrassed • when he -appeated
before t help. He should, having said ?bus snitch,
leave them to conjeet tire what must he his
feelings, when he .was suddenly informed, with.
out 'any previous notice of the probability of
the event, of the necessity imposed on him
of addressing them as their Representative.—
(Applause.),--All he could possibly say, was to
assure them of the complexion of his future con-
duct front the experience of what had been the
past-. He had been always convinced), that till
overnment was derived from the people, and
should therefore be administered for the good
of the people. These principles had uniformly
actuated him through lite, and lie trusted wou!cl
prove to him a consolation oft his death bed.
He must, he said, congratulate., the County on
its now having both its Representatives Re-
formers, trod upon the probability' ni their
acting together. Such had not yet been the
case dining the 30 years he had had the honour to
represent them. It he could as a public Wan now
lay aside his public feelings, he shotild certainly
regret losing such a colleague as Mr. Mellish, as
he had ever been a most attentive man to the
ter,st of, the various Charities and great public
Insritotions with which this county abouuded.—
In with hint, be mild say, that in his
own view he could not possibly wish for a better
colleague.—(Chtering)
Mr. WHITBREAD professed he felt himself tit)
at a loss, that he should leave them to conceive
what he felt. He could not express liiiuselt.—
Ater twelve days being an anxious Candidate for
their support, lie now was overcome with emotion
on finding himself their elected Representative.—
Ile could say with truth that he was sorry for the
defeat of Mr. Mellish. His conduct towards him•
self, he felt it a duty to say, had been always
marked with (Hsi ingni died polit e nes and liberality.---
Towards him, the vanquistied, he trosted he felt
as a liberal coequerur. On those huitings, all
oppci.;ition or animosity,, he professed, on his part,
should for ever end. Words could not express
his feelings towards those who had so zealously
and generously espoused his cause. He firmly
trusted they would never be disappointed in him,
and did,not despair in time to win over to his side,
by his future conduct, those who had most etre-
nuously opposed his success.—(Loud and continued
applause.)
The meeting then broke up, and:preparations
weir made for chairing..t he Candidates, which took
place about haif-patt 5. The procession tritversed
the town (tont Brewford Butts to the Bridge,
over the canal, and returned towards town, passing
by Kew Midge. The Members were chJired in
seats fixed on long poles, home oti men's shoul-
ders. ,They were most enthnsiastically receives!
by the inhabitants, anti followed by the Elec-
tors then in Brer.ltord in procession, preceded
by bands of music, &c. The whole was conelud.
ed by a numerous cortege of cimiages, and !tosser.
men. Mr. Mellish returned to town in his post-
chase and four, accompanied by several of his
friends.

The Irish Papers mention another act of singo-
kr atrocity committed by the Ribbonmen. On
Monday se'nnight, a body of them, to the number
of about three hundred, went to the house of .Mr.
WALKER, of Belleisle, in the County of Galway ;
and there being nobody at home but the Ladies
of the family, and a young lad, eighteen years of
age, the ruffians broke the windows, destroyed
the furniture of the house, and, but for the iorer-
ferrnce of some of the ringleaders, would have
consummated their villainy, by cutting out the
tongues of the young Ladies ! The Ladies, it
seems, were suspected by the Ribbonmen of hav-
ing disclosed their signs and oaths.
The Arabian horses, belonging to his Excel-
lency the Persian Ambassador, and which he re-
taitka for his own riding, with the grooms there-
unto belonging, left town on Tuesday for Dwyer,
where they are to be embarked for Calais.

MAUNDY-THURSDAY.-Yesterday being Maun-
dy-'Thursday, the Royal bounty was distributed
at Whitehall Chapel, with the usual ceremonies,
to lifty•seven poor men, and the like number of
women, as the KING is years old, being twenty-
three men and as many women less than the last
year, a large temporary building being erected in
Privy-gardens, which opens into the Chapel, for
the ceremony to take place in. No persons were
admitted into the Chapel to see this interesting
sight without tickets.
Bow•STßEET.—Yesterday William Bult under-
went an examination, charged with uttering forg-
ed Bank of England notes to a. great extent : lie
had been a master butcher near Fitzroy-square,
which he le-ft some time since. The charges
against him yesterday were for uttering six forged
11. Bank notes. Two of therm were to M. Dove,
a butcher, in Great Wild-street, Lincoln'zi-inn-
fields, on the 224 of January last, at two ditfe-
rent times, in the purchase of meat at a wholesale
rate, he being known to Mr. Dove as a butcher,
and he pretepding he wanted it for customers.—
Oa Saturday se'nnight ke passed through Fleet-
market, dressed as a butcher, without a hat, with
a tray under his arm, and purchased at the shop of
Mr: Collins a loin and fore-ribs of beef, to the
amount of 1/ 121. 7(1. giving his reference as jour-
neyman to Mr. Cross, a butcher, of Clare-market.
—The saute afternoon, and under similar circum-
stances, he purchased at Mr. Steproe's shop in
Peet-market, meat to the amount of ,21. Is. ld.,
and gave his reference to Mr. Cross, Clare market.
All the notes proved to bfjforged, and Mr. Cross
only knew the prisoner/by sight. He was com-
mitted !or further examination.
