BUCHINGHAAIS IRE ELECTION.

Yesterday was the fourth day of this contest. The polling
did not proceed so briskly as on some of the preceding days ;
nevertheless, there was no lack of bustle and excitement. In
announcing the state of the gross poll on Saturday evening,
the Sheriff, misled by a blunder of one of the poll-clerks,
who in casting up the numbers omitted a column, stated
that there were—

For Chindos —.
Smith „.

Orentell ...

... 1232

.. 1529

whereas the actual amount of the poll was—
Chandos ... .. ... 1236
Smith ... ... • • 897
Ortnfell ... • • ... 633

It appears that the Marquis of Chandos polled 370 voters
on Saturday, Mr. Smith 410, and Mr. Grenfell 181 ; and
that the majority of Smith over Chandos on the day's poll
was 40, instead of 14 ; which latter number I mentioned u

the majority in my communication of yesterday, being mis-
led by the erroneous announcement of the numbers from the
hustings on the preceding night.
RESIGNATION OF MR. G ANN raLL.—At about 5 o'clock
it was announced that Mr. Grenfell bad retired from the

contest ; and the poll-booths, which had been slackly at-
tended by voters for the preceding hour, were closed. The
High-Sheriff proceeded to the hustings, and read a letter
from Mr. Grenfell, stating that the result of the day's poll
had satisfied him that he owed it to the peace of the county,
to the other candidates, and to himself, not to protract unne-
cessarily a contest, which he found to be hopeless. He
therefore requested the Sheriff to signify to the freeholders
that he retired from the contest. The Sheriff then announced
that the gross 11, at the conclusion, stood as follows :
(Thandos 1504
1284
82b

Smith
Orenfell

[From this it appears that Mr. Smith bad a majority of
29 over Lord Chandos on the day's poll. One may infer the
probable consequence of a hearty coalition between Smith
and Grenfell, from the result of the last day's poll. I have
little doubt, that bad such a coalition been effected, the
Marquis, wbo had run out bis strength on the two first days,
might have been ejected.]
The Sheriff then declared the Marquis of Chandos and
J. Smith, Esq. duly elected to serve in parliament,as knights
of the shire for Bucks.
SIGNAL DEFEAT OF THE LOWTHERS.
TRIUMPH OF REFORM.
This has been a proud week for the independence of Cum-
berland—a week never to be forgotten in her annals. The
power of the boroughmongering Lowthers is tottering to its
fall, and ere this paper reaches the hands of our more distant
readers, we expect it will have received a blow which will
destroy it for ever. They have long trampled upon our
liberties, and laughed at our rights ; they treated the
people with insolence and scorn, and their haughtiness is
being repaid in the right way— the people are flinging off their
coke with contempt, and trampling their power to the dust.
In Carlisle, their chosen stronghold, they were defeated on
Monday and Tuesday last in the most signal manner, not-
withstanding all the exertions they could make, and the pro-
mises of lavish expenditure they had made. The " moral
influence" of the people was irresistible ; and sifter polling
35 votes, they were compelled to retire from the field, and
two reform candidates were returned free of expense.
In Westmoreland the Lowthers bare been compelled to
IccePt, to them, a disgraceful compromise. When Lord
Lowther declined standing, he offered to come to terms with
the Blues. They refused his terms, and he put forward Mr.
C. Wilson, of Casterton. Mr. Crackenthorpe immediately
;iceepteil the offer of the Blues to oppose him ; and the cause
"as proceeding prosperously, when the Lowthers again
offered to compromise; and the following document was
agreed to :

" WESTXOEILAND ELECTION.

"Kendal, May 4.
" With a view to preserve the peace of the county,—it having been
intimated that the propmition of Mr. Nowell, to be one of the repre.
*natives of the county of Westmoreland, will be acceded to,—we, as
individuals, still adhere to our intention of supporting Mr. Nowell,
rwonrnend Mr. Crackenthorre to withdraw.
" JACOB WAKEFIELD, Kendal.
" JOHN WAKEFIELD, Sw_ick.
" ISAAC W IT WELL, Kendal.
" ED WD. WAKEFIELD, Kendal.
" THOMAS HRILLIS, KsodaL
" We, the undersigned, recommend Mr. Cetus Wilson tomato.
" GEORGE WILSON, Dam Tower.
" EDWARD WILSON, Abbot Hall.
" DANIEL HARRISON, Kendal." '
Mr. Nowell has pledged himself to support the reform
bill. We think the Blues hare acted foolishly. in agreeing to
the terms.

GENERAL ELECTION.
10313 EX.
(RRPORTLD EXPRISSLY TOR TILE STAR.)
Yesterday was a great day for Essex, never was the tri-
umph of liberality over bigotry more astounding. Western
and Wellesley are now placed out of danger, though the
Tories promise a desporate fight yet ; and have declared
that they will keep the poll open the whole of the 15 days.
lAt eleven o'clock the Colchester procession entered the town,
and never was there a greater display of taste and of pomp.
A double row of flag-bearers went before, bearing orange
flags, yellow and blue Bags, and red, blue, and white
flags; after them rode four of Mr. Harvey's friends; a
fine brass band, with kettle drums, and Turkish drum fol-
lowed; Mr. Western's chariot and four followed •, and be-
hind his carriage came the gayest set-out of all—Mr. Har-
vey drawn by four greys, with the postillions dressed in Mr.
Wellesley's colours, and behind him a train of horsemen
and voters in all sorts of carriages, from the hired landau
down to the donkey-cart : the pageant reaching above half-
a-mile in length, interspersed with flags and ribbons on
poles. In the middle of the procession was a crown made
of velvet and gold, and resting on a cushion, hoisted on
a long pole : it was allowed, taken all together, to be one
of the grandest shows Essex ever saw. Dr. Forster and
Mr. Green, the two aeronauts, who ascended from Chelms-
ford on the 30th ult. amuse the people, after the close of
the poll, by sending off small air balloons, filed with
gas, containing the numbers polled by each can-
didate; so that it may happen by chance that the
the state of the Essex poll may be reported in Devonshire,
Oxford, or known in Middlesex, as, with this strong East
wind, no doubt. the balloons go a great way off, being well
and indeed mathematically made.

CHELMSFORD, MOW DAT —(FOU MTH DA T).--.1118 was,
if possible, a day of still greater exertion by the friends of
the respective candidates than any of the preceding days.
Every art, every stratagem that cunning policy could devise
was resorted to by the Tory faction, for the purpose of turn-
ing the current of popular feeling from the reform candi-
dates. In the early part of the morning a number of pla-
cards were sent round, some with the words, " No coalition,
vote for Tyrell, the farmer's friend,"—" Vote for Western,"
and others of the like tendency. To counteract the effect
of this insiduous attempt, the independent Committee issued
other hand bills, importing that the placards which bespoke
votes for Mr. Western alone were not issued with the sanc-
tion of that gentleman or his friends, but that it was a
mere trick of the Tory party to excite division
amongst the friends of Reform. The friends of
Reform were not indifferent to the cause which they have
so warmly espoused. About twelve o'clock the Blues had
a majority up to that time of six voters on the day's poll,
which left the gallant Colonel in the trifling minority of only
497 ; but in the midst of their exultation an immense caval-
cade from Colchester entered the town, headed by Mr. D.
W. Harvey, Mr. Western, Sir Felix Agar, and several
other gentlemen attached to that interest, which effec-
tually turned the tables. A few of Lord Petre's tenantry
have polled already, but the great body are still in reserve,
and are expected to come up to-morrow. Amongst those who
polled to-day, was Wm. Mayhew, Esq. the member for Col-
chester, who voted, of course, for Western and Wellesley.
The Speaker of the House of Commons has a considerable
estate in this county, and it is said that he has been indirectly
solicited to support the Blue party with his interest, but
that, through the same channel, a very distinct intimation
was given, that he would not interfere, leaving his te-
nantry to exercise their choice between the respective Can-
didates as they pleased. I mention this merely as one of the
innumerable rumours that are in circulation. Very great de-
lay has been occasioned in consequence of the bribery oath
being administered on each voter coming up to the poll, and
the Blues having refused to allow more than one to be sworn
at a time. At the last election four were sworn together ; of
course this is done to prolong the contest. The High Sheriff
presides in the Nisi Prius Court, to hear and dispose of any
objections that are taken by the inspectors to questionable
votes. The extremely defective returns of the land-tax assess-
ment is the chief cause of this delay, and in many instances.
good votes have been rejected merely from that circum-
stance. The poll was kept open to-day until half-put
six o'clock, an hour later than usual, in consequence of
the great number of persons who were in the town, and
the several candidates having assented to the proposition,
which could not but be an agreeable one to them, as it saves
considerable expenses— it met with general approbation.
—lt is calculated that there are about 7,000 freeholders in
the county, but nothing near that number have ever been
polled at any election. In 1734, there were 5,015 ; 1763,
there were 5,125; in 1768, there were 4,877 ; in 1774,
there were 3,194 ; in 1810, (fifteen days' poll,) there were
3,330: in 1812, (five days' poll,) 1,745; in 1830, (five
days' poll,) 2,501 ; and at the late general election, in the
same year, after the most unexampled contest of fifteen days,
there were not more than 5,500 votes recorded, out of which
Mr. Wellesley had 1,688 plumpers. There is no probability
that more than that number will be reckoned upon on the
the present occasion ; and assuming that 4,000 have al-
ready voted, which is the fact, it does not seem at all likely
that Col. Tyrell will be able to subdue the majority of 500
which Mr. Wellesley claims above him. At half-past six
o'clock last night the Under Sheriff declared the numbers as
follows :

Western .. ... ... 2.071
Wellesley ... ... 1,987
Tyrell .. . .. 1,473
GLORIOUS VICTORY IN BRDFORDSIRE.

LOUD BUTE AND HIS AGENTS AO AIN DEFLATED.—
The contest is concluded, and the independent and patriotic
freeholders of the county have succeeded in returning to
Parliament two members, who are firm advocates for Reform,
and who aredutermined to support the King and his Minis-
ters in carrying that glorious bill brought forward by that
noble patriot, Lord J. Russell. The devices made use of by
Mr. Stuart's agents (representing him as an advocate for
mcderate reform, to gull the people) was of no avail. Such
a deception was not to be pushed down their throats, and
they have, in spite of all their exertions returned the Mar-
quess of Tavistock and Sir Peter Payne
STATE OF THE TOLL AT TEE CLOSE.
The Marquees of Tavistoek 1137
Sir Peter Payee 1073
Mr. Stuart ... .. .. . • ONO

Previous to Mr. Stuart's resignation, he declared his in-
tention of coming to the poll on Monday morning ; but
some friend, (do not suppose that friend to be one of his
legal advisers, for they were most anxious to prolong the
contest,) recommended him to withdraw, and intelligence to
that effect was received by Lord Tavistock and Sir Peter
Payne's Committee last night, (Saturday) at ten o'clock.
I I cannot finish without acquainting you with a most dis-
graceful scene which presented itself in front of the hustings
on Friday evening. A magistrate of the county, and a noble
lord in the neighbourhood of Biggleswade, who are sup-
porters of Mr. S. are said to have hired a number of ruffians,
who, after being intoxicated, were brought upon the Green
where the hustings were erected, for the express purpose of
creating a disturbance. The abuses offered to the sheriff,
S. C. Whitbread, Esq. (whose conduct on the occasion was
most praiseworthy) were of the most disgraceful nature.
hope this will coins within the notice of the persons above
alluded to, and prevent them again behaving in so disgrace-
ful a manner.

GENERAL ELECTION.
STILTON, KAY 10.
PITERROROUGH, MONDAY MORTIINO.-.411i/ day 32
pair of horses left this city to convey freeholders from the
vicinity to Northampton, to vote for Milton and Althorp.
It is expected that the unanimous voice of Northampton-
shire will be so displayed this day, as to put an end to all
hopes of the despairing faction of the anti-reformers. Never,
since England was England, was there equal fervour in fa-
vour of reform and liberty, in every town, every farm house,
and every cottage.
HUNTINGDON, MONDAY, FIVE O'CLOCK.-111IS Usu-
ally dull town has this day exhibited a scene of delight and
happiness, such as is seldom witnessed. The day itself was
one of the brightest of the year, and as early as eight o'clock
the committee of Lord Strathaven signified that they de-
clined to proceed with the poll. The news spread through
the county, and by twelve o claa, the streets and windows
were filled with an assemblage of the prettiest women in
England, whose bright eyes and cheerful countenances were
set off by their sky-blue decorations. The chairing of Mr.
Rooper, the reforming candidate and being at the head of
the poll, was a genuine triumph of public feeling—a victory
of the people over their task-masters for above a century !
Lord Mandeville followed—but, alas ! what a falling
off in energy of soul, and how evident it was
that be was not the representative of the people !
How deep were the lamentations that two reform-
ing candidates had not presented themselves, for the
double victory would have been as certain as the single
one, if two reformers had started instead of one. Hence,
owing to this mistake, the anti-reformers will be enabled to
boast of one county member for Huntingdonshire, and of
one or two for other counties, not as the result of popular
opinion, but as the mere effect of circumstances.
WA R WICIESH IRR.
The nomination for this county took place on W 1 dncsday
last.

Mr. Lawley wts nominated by Sir George Phillips, and
Sir Grey Skipwith by Mr. Lillingt'n.
Mr. GREGORY intimated that another candidate would be
brought forward if Sir G. Skipwith did not answer certain
questions which were about to be put to him.
Mr. J. PARKES now stepped from one of the side galleries
on to the centre table, opposite the candidates, and com-
menced by saying that, fully concurring in what bad been
said by Mr. Gregory, he would also support Sir Grey Skip-
with, if that hon. Baronet satisfactorily answered the inter-
rogatories he now felt it his duty to put to him on two great
and important subjects—reform and retrenchment. First
(said Mr. Parkes) will you, Sir Grey Skipwith, give your
entire support to that part of the bill, schedules A and B,
which disfranchises the corrupt and nomination boroughs in
the hands of the hereditary and moneyed aristocracy ?—(a
profound silence pervaded the Court.)
Sir G. SKIPWITII (with great au
dially. (Vehement cheering.)
Mr. PARKES—Secondly, will you, Sir Grey Skipwith,
support the transfer of the franchise, as regulated in the bill,
among the commercial towns and agricultural districts of the
country ?
Sir GREY SKIPwITII—Most undoubtedly. (Loud and
renewed cheering.)
Mr. PARK es—Thirdly, will you support that portion of
the Bill which extends the franchise in counties to lease-
holders and copyholders, and in towns to inhabitant house-
holders paying a yearly rent of 101?
Sir GREY SKIPWITH .•-•Most entirely (tumultuous
cheering.)
Mr. PARKEs—The Hon. Baronet will allow me to put
one other interrogation arising Out of the last. Will the
Hon. Baronet oppose any attempt to raise that qualification
aboVe 101?—(cheers.)
Sir GREY SKIPWITH—I shall support the 101. franchise,
. Parkes.—(great cheering.)
Mr. PAuxes said he now came to the second part of the
Interrogatories—economy and retrenchment. Has the hon.
baronet that sense of the pressure of those national burdens,
that he will support all motions for the purpose of reducing
the expenditure of the country, and more especially the civil
list? (Cheers.)
Sir G. SKIPWITH—Most certainly; I have every dispo-
sition to do so : but to answer for my support of every motion
is more than I can pretend to do.
Mr. Pam:as—The meeting must be aware that be put
this question as a general interrogatory only, and be there-
fore merely asked Sir Grey, would he particularly support
economy and retrenchment in the public expenditure ?
(Cheers.)

s)—Most COT-

Sir G. SKIP.* ITII -I f I accept a seat in Parliament, it is
for that express purpose. (Cheers.)
Mr. PARK ES-Sir Grey Skipwith having, with his cha-
racteristic frankness, most satisfactorily answered those
questions which I have deemed it my duty to put before this,
meeting, I beg leave to say be will receive my humble, but'
most cordial support. Mr. Parkes then resumed his seat
amidst reiterated cheers.

The candidates addressed the electors, and a vote of thanks
was, after some discussion, voted to Mr. Dugdale, the late
representative of the county.
The meeting then, after three cheers for the King, three
for the Queen, three for Mr. Lawley, three for Sir Grey
Ski with, and three times three for the independent electors
of Warwickshire, broke up.
DEVON.

MAY 6.—This being the day fixed for the nomination,
the utmost interest was manifested at an early hour. Groups
of freeholders were seen entering the city from all quarters.
In the course of the moaning a general opinion prevailed,
that Sir lbonias Acland would be again put in norninaton,
and this opinion gained strength from the circulation of cer-
tain hand-bills, recommending that project, and animadvert-
ing in unmeasured terms on the conduct of the Whigs,
" who had placed, or wished to place, this county under a
'Whig Aristocracy, when it was formerly the pride and boast
of Devon that it was represented by Commoners."
The proceedings having been opened in the usual manner
by the High Sheriff. The Hon: NEWTON FeIt:OWES and
Mr. QUICK nominated and seconded Lord EIIIIINOTON;
Sir G. 041MPFYLDE and Sir HUSIPIIIIY bAVY, Lord
JOHN RUSSELL. The nomination of the Noble Lords was
carried with the loudest shouts, and nothing like opposition
or the introduction of a third party was indicated.
Lord EIIKINGTONI rejoice that an opportunity should
be afforded of identifying l ourselves with the reform question,
in favour of which so many petitions have been entrusted
to me from you, and of supporting, by your suffrages, the
prayer of die petitions, by selecting as my colleague the au-
thor of that great measure. I have been too long known to
you to make it necessary to offer professions as to my con-
duct on the reform bill, or other public matters; and I will
adopt the words of an honourable baronet this day, that,
" I am an advocate for the bill, the whole bill, and nothing
but the bill"—(cheers.) In saying this, I do not mean to say
that, in the course of discussion, no amendment or alteration
may not be suggested. I am not so doggedly obstinate as
to fancy that the Ministers could produce any meows so
perfect as not to admit of amendment ; but I will take care
that, as far as my vote goes—and I have every reason to
believe that the new Parliament will take cars that no altera-
tions shall be introduced which can in the slightest degree
diminish the effect of its great and leading principles—
(cheers.) From this time, I trust, the race of borough-
mongers will become extinct—a dead letter in the English

GENERAL ELECTION.
History—and the House of Commons be a full, fair, and
free Representative of the people of England.
Lord JOllll Russet!. then came forward amidst the
warmest and most unanimous cheers. In presenting himself
before them this day, he did so with feelings of trratifle:l
ambition ; ror he must cold( ss he accepted with pride and
gratitude the requisition presented to him- by this great
county—not only on account of its extent and im-
portance—not only because he happened to he connected
by family and property with it, but mainly and chiefly
because lie admired and respected the free spirit shown
by this counts-, more especially in the election of last
year—(cheers). It was, therefore, that lie said it was be-
yond any political exertions on his part to make, if the
*freeholders should think him worthy of being sent to Parlia-
ment as their representative. But he would now detail to
them the extraordinary circumstances under which they
were now called upon to exercise sheir franchise. His Ma-
jesty had applied to them to give them an opportunity of
giving their opinion upon the question, whether a change
should take place in the representation of this country ; and
if changes were to take place, whether they approved of those
changes submitted by his responsible advisers. The question
was submitted not to the borough proprietors, for of them be
could have got au opinion in London ; the would have
been no need to have sent into the country for that ; but be
requires the freeholders assembled in the counties should
pronounce their wishes on that question, and whether they
thought those changes iikely to ba beneficial to the country,
and safe to the Constitution. Bat they were not only to
pronounce whether there ought to be some change, but
whether they thought that such a measure as his Ma-
jesty's Ministers had introduced, should be the measure
which should bec,mne the law of the land, or whether
they were willing to adopt some plan of reform, which
those who would propose it never thought of before the
Ist March—which had never been explained—and which,
for what they knew might tend to change the whole system
of representation. or leave it much as it was at present.
It had been represented that the King's ministers, with a
presumption far from their intention, had declared that they
must hare every letter of the bill or nothing. This was far
from their declaration. They declared—let us go into a Com.
mittee, and then improve it if we can; but we cannot consent
to any thing which shall destroy its spirit. It was therefore
on this question they were called upon to decide. He would .
detain them a little with mentioning some of the objects he
had seen stated in the addresses of persons who had come
forward to sue for re election, against the bill. They told
them it was a bill which would destroy the Monarchy—it
would place every thing in anarchy—it would at once endan-
ger the funds, and put an end to commercial speculations.
These effects nil arose from their confining their attentions to
their own immediate interests. But if they compared the
state of the country now, with the state of the country when
they bad refused all reform, let him ask, did not the content.
went they now saw, form a glorious contrast to their declara-
tions of danger, and vague apprehensions—and general fear,
which induced even so bold a man as the Duke of Wellington
to advise his Majesty not to go into the City of London to
dine with his people ? (Cheers.) So much for their fears
with regard to the safety of the Monarchy. But what said
the Funds? In spite of all these alarms, the Funds had
actually risen as the elections favourable to reform were
daily carried. But then there would be no commercial re-
presentatives. What said Bristol and London ? They had de-
clared they would not support any member who should net
be favourable to the bill. He had just heard that Liverpool
had declared the same independence, and that he who was
the author of that measure which put an end to the bill,
would not again be allowed to sit for that town They were
told these representatives did very well. It might be, but
he was not prepared to admit it; but he thought it best
that the people should have the right to choose for
themselves, and that they should not be satisfied with the
house of Baring: choosing for them. He had maintained this
doctrine for many years, but be had preached to the winds...-
He could not get the House of Commons to listen to his most
moderate schemes, and in last year, when he endeavoured
merely to change the representation of one corrupt borough
to Birmingham, it was opposed by those who professed
themselves now to be the friends of moderate reform- (bear,
hear.) He bad said many years ago, and in the hearing of
many of those present, if they would not have any Reform, it
would Bow upon them all at once like a river—would rush
upon them like a torrent. When be said those words they
were held at nought, and those then possessing power
thought they might maintain the constitution of the House
of Commons as it then was. They had now found out to
their cost that he was correct ; but he thought they would
be of opinion that if Reform was to take place, it had better
take place under the auspices of his Majesty's Ministers,
who had been so long friends to this opinion, and who
would endeavour so to form the measure as to consult the
future welfare of the country. It would be better to be
conducted under their auspices, than that they should go
again to sea with the Anti-Reformers, in tie hope of some
of those moderate Reformers bringing forward a n:easure
which would be only a mask and a mockery.
'1 here was now a loud call for Sir Thomas Acland, who
spoke at considerable length in justification of his Padua.
mentary conduct. He was well received. The High
Sheriff returned thanks, and requested the attendance of the
freeholders on Tuesday, at 10 o'clock, to proceed to the
Election. Three cheers for the King were then given, and
the meeting separated.
CORN W A r.L.— A meeting of the freeholders of the county
of Cornwall took place on Friday, at Bodmin, for the purpose
of nominating two Knights of the Shire to serve in the ensuing
Parliament. About one o'clock the Iliyh Sheriff came on the
hustings. The appearance of the candidates was the signal
for loud cheering fr their respective adherents, acevntra-
nied by marks of disapprobation from tl.eir opponents. J. 7'.
Congton, Ebq. proposed, and the Right Hon. R. P. Carew
seconded Sir R. Vyvyan ; R. Rashleigh, Esq. proposed Mr.
Pendsrves, v. bid' was seconded by Sir W. P. Call ; F. H.
Rudd, Esq. proposed Lord Valletort, who was seconded by
Edward Collins, Esq.
The election was to commence yi stert:ay at Lot•twithiel.
ANOTHER MUM Pll.—TilE COUNTY OF SON ERSET.
The will and efforts of the great body ,f the highly respecta-
ble freeholders of Somersetshire have been crowned with
singular success for the cause cf reform. Mr. Sandford and
Colonel Gore Langton, both of whom are held in the highest
estimation, obtained a most triumphant preference on Friday,
the flay of nomination, at Wells. Out of about 12,000 per-
sons present at the slaw of hands, nor 20 were seen to be held
up for the opposing candidate ; and Mr. Gordon in the after-
moon of that day communicated to the High Sheriff his
Intention to resign. By this means, much to Mr. Gotdon's
honour, the peace of the vanity will be kept uedisturbed„
although there did not appear to us a shadow of doubt as to
as issue of the polling in favour of the successful candle
aim Mr. Henry Hunt appeared on the hustings, hut
esuld not obtain a hearing. This once popular character

as follows :
Gentlemen—lt appears tome of the utmost importance to the trade,
that your attention should be called to a very serious charge, which has
been laid against you by the grand jury at the late Warwick assizes ;
which, if not contradicted, may do us a serious injury. The charge is
this—that the late beer act has had the erect of increasing drunken-
ness, gambling; and debauebery—three very serious charges, if they
were true ; but they are sot tras ; the magistrates have been very
wrongly informed. We will examine each charge separately and dis-
tinctly ; and, first, as to drunkenness, I would reply, that the more you
encrease the houses, the more you divide the company; and, conic- •
quently diminish the temptation to drink, by enticing each other to stay.
Mathematicians always judge of the truth of any proposition by car.
lying the case to an extreme; let us follow the same rule, with the
increase of houses; let us suppose that where there is now one house
there should be one hundred. Now as there are but a certain lledts4
number who frequent these houses, what, In such a case, would he 11l
consequence P but that the company would be divided more and Mallpi
according to the increase of the houses; so that if divided, thmemilikel
be only one customer in each house, for a certain nut owl do

give, and the early hour at which the houses 'are closed, are enough to
convince any reasonable man, that as far as relates to Dttuskennese. the
magistrates have been wrong informed.
I admit that there is more ale drank since the passing of this Act,
but that is not owing altogether to the increase of houses 'for the sale
of Beer, but chiefly owing to the cheapness, and better &polity of the
article. The agriculturists will not find faith with this increme of the
sale of malt, as it has bad the effect of raising the price of Verley, at
least one shilling per bushel.

0-RAND FETE AT DIEPPE.
The French journals continue to describe the loyalty with
which the late fire du Roi was celebrated ; and the follow-
ing account of the rejoicings at Dieppe affords proof that a
favourable disposition towards this country continues to gain
ground.
It would have given you pleasure to have witnessed the
enthusiasm with which we celebrated the first anniversary
d the fete of Louis Philippe, whose wise councils continue
to secure to us the blessings of peace, malgre the distrac-
tions that followed our glorious revolution, and the agita-
den of the Continent. At break of day, twenty-one pieces
of cannon announced the commencement of the fete ; the
same salute was repeated at sunset ; the vessels in the bar•
hour all displayed the national colours ; the poor were plea-
tifully supplied with bread ; there was a grand review of
the national guard, and of the garrison troops; in the even-
ing, the public buildings and many private houses were
Illuminated ; orchestras were established for public danceri,
and at the Theatre the Municipality gave a grand ball to
the national guard of Dieppe.
But what gave the highest zest to the festivity of the me-
morable day, was a brilliant fete given, after the review, to
the civil authorities, and to the officers of the national
guard of Dieppe, Argues, and Offrouville, by Sir Henry
Protheroe. This patriotic Englishman converted the bil-
• hard room of the Albion Hotel—one of the most distin-
guished in France, of which he is the Proprietor—into a
temporary tent, where the entertainment was held ; the ar-
rangements were complete, the dejeune was magnificent,
and the wines were exquisite. The decorations of the tent
did high honour to the liberality of the English character.
I passed the court of this superb hotel through a triumphal
arch, at the end of which was a bust of the King in bronze,
t hind on a throne crowned with laurel ; but the coup (Veil
was entering the room ; it was u holly surrounded with tri-
coloured draperies ; at the extremity, between the tables,
a•: as a fino poi trait of the King ; under it, a representation
f the days of July—a well-conceived idea—tastefully ar-
ranged. Round the tent were seen all the great battles
gained under the Emperor, each surmounted by a por-
trait of the general who had gained it. The compliment was
Only felt. " Gentlemen," said the Chevalier, on proposing
the health of the King in a bumper of champagne,' you are
surreal:: ecil by those who have contributed to the military
glory of France. In the midst of them warriors, you behold
your Sovereign, whose own glory will be imperishahle by
preserving for you the blessings of peace, and not sacrificing
your best interests—your agriculture, your manutactuees,,
end your commerce—to personal ambition, and the agree-
tlixement of his family. It is not suprizing that you con-1
eider his throne the palladium of your liberties ; for this
Prince—great as he is good, and brave as he is mild, has
fixed its foundations on the love of his people. I was unable
to follow this eloquent address any further ; the King's
health was drank with universal acclamations, of " Vive
le Roi."
The Mayor then proposed the health of William the
Fourth, king of England ; " a monarch," he said, " who had
bie throne equally fixed on the affections of his subjects ;
and whose late magnanimous conduct, in defence of their
liberties, claimed their admiration. A loyal nation would no
doubt duly appreciate it ; and between this brave people and
tie French be desired to see encreased intercourse and
friendship." Le Chevalier returned thanks for the many
well-merited compliments that had been paid to his
Sovereign ; be wished the enlightened sentiments which
had been uttered could penetrate the cabinets of all the
Kings of Europe, from the great despot of the North, to the
little bloody tyrant that now usurped the throne of Portugal.
The commandant of the national guard of Dieppe gave the
health of the President, who had so well represented hie
nation. The commandant of Offrouville, the commandant
of Argues, and others, proposed various patriotic UMW
mostly complimentary to the English. The fine wines Oi
the Albion made our brave officers quite eloquent. The speech
*of M. Le Borgue, adjoint to the Mayor, was received with tn.
pealed cheers. He drank to the indissoluble alliance betwees
trance and Great Britain ; the welfare of one, he observed,
was now become the element of the other's prosperity. 1.14
them then abjure their ancient feelings to each other; Id
them march at the head of civilization ; and, hand in bunk
undo the sacred standard of liberty. The alliance of time

cident on his way to the county meeting yesterday. On

with considerable violence. He was removed to the house

tusions.—Cornwall Gazette of Saturday.
FI az.—This morning, at a little after four o'clock, an
alarming fire broke out upon the premises, 189 Tottenham-

ed. The conflagration was first discovered in the kitchen.
Little damage is done to the shop, though the second and
third floors are completely gutted. From this circumstance
a report was circulated, that the fire broke out in two places,
but which circumstance dose not appear to be the case. The
stock of Mr. Bowtell, shoemaker, who rented the shop, Eli

plentiful supply of water it was pa wader in a short time,
and confined to that dwelling.
