CORNWALL.

LOSTW ITIII EL, TH ir.--4liccording to his promise
given to the electors of Devon, Lord Ebrington came over
here yesterday to assist his friends, who are now fighting in
this county in favour of the Reform Bill, and addressed the
electors of Cornwall at some length last evening, after the poll
bad closed for the day. His Lordship was received most cor-
dially. Perhaps there are few towns in the country so incon-
venient for a county election as the town of Lostwithiel. It
is remarkably small, only one decent inn, and is enlivened
only by the Devonport and Falmouth mail passing through it.
Still it has been the custom to hold the election here, and until
a reform takes place, we presume that good and ancient cus-
tom must not be departed from. There is not accommodation
even for the committees, still less for the electors, Sir R. Vi-
vyan has secured all the beds in the town, and we were com-
pelled to apply to his committee to give up one, which they
most politely immediately did. The town is as full as it can
be of voters of both interests, and we do not think there is a
chance of the election being closed for some days, as the anti-
reform candidates assert that they will poll the last man : still
we have before known a statement of this kind made, but not
afterwards acted upon. The struggle, however, will certainly
be severe. Sir R. Vyvyan's party have 75 horses here from
the New London Inn at Exeter, and no expense is spared in
bringing the voters up. Several large boats placed upon wheels
and drawn by four homes, and well loaded with substantial
votes, have arrived in the course of the day ; we shall not be
able to give the sentiments of the parties to-night, but must
be content to give the numbers at the close of this the third
day's poll. _

FRIDAY, May 13.—Upon the poll being announced last
night, the plaudits of the people were very great, and seemed
to give satisfaction to the crowds assembled. Mr. Pendarvis
and Sir C. Lemon congratulated the freeholders at the success
which bad attended their cause that day. Sir R. Vyvyan
could scarcely be heard for the noise occasioned by the hoot-
ing' of one party and the cheers of the other. He said, if
they were fair men, they would hear him as well as the other
candidates ; but if they were fond of noise, they should at
least continue it during the time Mr. Pendarvis and Sir C.
Lemon were addressing them. He assured them that the
state of the poll would appear differently to-morrow evening,
and that by that day week the majority on the gross poll
would be on his side. Lord Valletort very shortly addressed
them. A proposition to this effect was then made : the
poll-booths are all of one size, and divided into distinct
hundreds, the freeholders in some of which had nearly ail
polled, consequently there was nothing to be done in them,
while in the larger hundreds crowds were waiting outside
the doors from morning till night. Sir C. Lemon then pro.
posed that a mode should be adopted by which those belong-
ing to the larger hundreds might poll in the booths, the hun-
dreds belonging to which were exhausted. Sir R. Vyvyan
however, refused to accede to this, for a reason which we
could not hear. It appears to us, however, that it would be
a most convenient plan.
This morning, by six o'clock, voters were waiting at some
of the bootO anxious to be the first to poll, for they are all
heartily tired Of standing so many hours exposed to the scorch.
lag rays of the sun, the weather being remarkably fins, bet
larly hot ; and, in consequence of the Vyvyan party
ving engaged nearly every bed, the reformers get very poor'
accommodation, and would therefore be very glad to get
away. At nine o'clock the polling commenced with very great
activity on the part of Mr. Pendarvis and Sir C. Lemon,
and carriages of all descriptions have been arriving through-
out the day with voters in their interest. Numbers have
also arrived for their opponents, and there are, we should
think, twice the number of voters in the town to-day
than yesterday. Notwithstanding the expectations held out by
Sir R. Vyvyan yesterday, at two o'clock this day, when the
poll was taken, he was nearly 100 behind on the day's poll.
f bey say they cannot get them up to the poll ; are they tben
reluctant to vote on that side, or perhaps they are not so
anxious as the other party, on account of the good living they
have ? We confess it looks to us very much like a purposed
delay, if they really have the number of votes they say ready
to bring up. At all events, this continued election will cost
some one a good deal of money. If Sir R. Vyvyan does not
stand better to-morrow night, we should think he would
have no chance; he has pledged himself to take the opinion
of the county upon the reform bill; but that as soon as hs
sees the majority is against him, he will give way. We
have the usual scenes of good conduct and sobriety as ass
witnessed at elections; but of course they must be proper,
or they would be reformed. While writing this, an immense
number of carriages are coming into the town with flags
and banners, bearing that all-terrifying word " Reform" on
them! It is evident that Lord Valletort continues solely for
the purpose of assisting Sir R. Vyvyan, with whose return
the Tories would be satisfied.

WORCESTER, MAY 13.
Lest night, at the close of the poll, the sheriff declared
Spencer a-head of Lygon 12 only. Yesterday the anti-
reformers exerted all their strength, and boasted in the early
part of the day, their certainty of turning the tide consider-
ably in their favour. Every vote in the Upper and Lower
Halfsbire hundreds, upon which the most trifling questions
could be raised, and especially towards the close of the day, I
was objected to by the Lygonists ; and, after every delay,
sent to the assessor. Those booths, you are aware, were'
almost to a man in favour of reform,
