TO CORRESPONDENTS.

X. of Brighton, who remarks on the discordance of our Polish News
In our Stock Exchange letters, and that received through other chan-
nels, will please to observe that we give place to those letters merely as
the reports on Change, leaving it to the public to attach whatever opi.
nion they please to them ; and we do not suppress any part. because It
now and then happens that the first notices of events reach as through
that channel.

We shall be glad to hear front ANICIII relative to the Election; and,
indeed, be gratified to hear from local friends during the progress of
every Election. We wish the STAR to be considered for the time, u
the chief rocus of that species of intelligence; and during the bat
week, it is to be hoped, we shall be considered u having done our duty.
The subject grows daily in interest, and we are u much alive to it as
any Candidates, or any Electors.

This day despatches were received at the Foreign Office
from Lord Viscount GRANVILLE, our Ambassador at Paris;
from Lord Pot; sos BY, our Ambassador at Brussels; and
from Sir CHARLES BACOT, our Ambassador at the Hague.

TRIUMPH OF REFORM IN WESTMINSTER.

In announcing the election of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT
and Mr. HOSHOUSE, this day, for Westminster, we are
merely stating a fact, which never could have been doubted
as certain to take place. The Electors of Westminster have
every occasion to be proud of their Representatives, and
of their own independent and consistent conduct. They set
an efficient example to the constituency of England in times
unlike the present—in times unpropitious to Reform—
and in times when, it should never be forgotten, to'give an
honest vote often required no common political fortitude ;
for it often exposed the voter to sacrifices of a substantial
nature. It cannot be forgotten, that not many years ago,
in Westminster, the tradesman often lost his business, by
not voting with the supporters of corruption. Reform now
is in its triumph, and strange it would have been, indeed,
bad defection occurred in the Head Quarters of the Cause.

On Saturday evening returns had been received from 33
places, including 67 Members, of whom 37 voted for the
Bill, and 12 more are new Members favourable to the Bill.
Hence 49 friends of the Bill have been already returned;
and only 17 of its opponents, one of the 67 not having
voted either way, but understood to be favourable, making
the odds on Saturday evening 50 to 17, or nearly 3 to 1.
`May that proportion continue ! and really all our accounts
lead us to conclude that it is likely to be so.
With such specimens of the opponents, and of the voices
which have returned them, we need not doubt that a tri-
umphant majority of friends to the Bill will appear in the
new Parliament. But at the same time we confess we shall not
regard the VICTORY as including the banners of the enemy
—if GASCOYN E is not expelled by the public spirit of 1.1-
v ERPOOL—if DAVIS is not expelled by the intelligence of
BRISTOL—if BAN YES is not expelled by the independence
of DORSETSHIREif the SOMBRSETS do not lose their
ascendancy in GLOUCESTERSHIRE—and the proud GREN-
VILLEB and PERCYS 111 BUCKINGHAMSHIRE and NOR-
THUMBERLAND. The achievement of these points, or the

major part, will warrant a JUBILEE TO KING WILLIAM,
such as England' has not witnessed since the overthrow of
the Spanish Armada.

By the Hamburgb Mails, arrived this morning, we have
received accounts from Warsaw of the 22d April, as given
in the Prussian State Gazette of the 25th—the general
purport of which is still favourable to the patriotic Poles.
From Berlin, of the same date, we learn, that the Prussian
Government is determined to observe its neutrality, not-
withstanding the insurrection in Lithuania, which, by a
paragraph in the Berlin Papers of the 22d, is daily becoming
more formidable. We regret to observe, that one of the
Lithuanian Chiefs has been taken, and shot at Wilna. The
following are extracts to which we have alluded :
Wassaw, APRIL 19.—The Municipal Council of Warsaw has pub-
licly announced, that notwithstanding the strictest inquiry, no symp-
toms of the cholera have been found among any of the Russian pri-
soners, taken near Malec. The prisoners also declare, unanimously.
that no symptoms of any kind of epidemic disease have yet manifested
themselves in the hospitals of the latter place. Inflammation of the
lungs,dysentery, and ague prevail there, but not to any great extent•
Hostilities bavc now commenced on every point. _ _

Waaaaw, APRIL 21.--Frons the Prussia • n State Gaspe& of 26th
April.—General Sierawaki's corps has met with a check, which has
obliged him to retire to the left side of the Vistula. After having
crossed that river, with 6,000 new troops. and 6 pieces of artillery, he
encountered at ronow, on the road of Lublin, the corps of General
Witt, who had been joined by the: remnant of General Luts's corps,
presenting a force of 24,000 men and 30 cannon. Instead of retiring
and avoiding a contest with so superior an enemy, General Sierawski
fought with him on the whole of the seventeenth, but was obliged at
last to give way, and retreat to Kazhniers. On the following day,
(eighteenth) he was attacked and obliged to recross the Vistula,
in doing which be again suffered a loss which he might have avoided,
if he had crossed during the night. His artillery was all saved, but
his loss in killed is estimated at 1.200 men, among whom are the gal-
lant Lieutenant Colonel Count Julien Malachowski, and Lieut. Col.
Count Wielochowski, who were drowned in the river, when, after hay.
ing covered the retreat of the troops, they attempted to swim across the
river at the head of their squadrons.
The cholera morbits has shown itself in some of the hospitals, but the
illness does not appear to have assumed a very virulent character.
The Russian troops under General Sacken are said to have entered
Pultuak.

The Polish head.quartera are said to have been on the 20th at Minsk
The Warsaw papers of the 21st allude to the above affair, but men-
tion, that they are not yet in possession of the particulars.
In the Sitting of the United Chambers of the Diet on the 11th, 13th,
and 14th, the discussion of the project of law for assigning land to the
peasants was continued. The Warsaw Courier says, that in the sit-
ting of the 18th, there were such violent disputes as bad not occurred
before during the present session of the Diet.
The Warsaw State Gazelle contains the following news :
" Reports have been received here, that, at the same time that
General Dwernicki entered Voihynia, an insurrection broke out in
the interior of that province. An armed force, which was under the
command of citizen Sterki, has taken possession of Luba, having first
dimmed and made prisoners of the Russian garrison, including the
officers. The news that Siedlce was taken by our troops is not con.
firmed."
The same Paper announces from Tomorrow, in the province et
Lublin, that Gen. Dwernicki having made a feigned movement, as if he
would pass the Vistula at Zawichost, or Ballow, had suddenly turned in
the contrary direction, and penetrated the woods to Krynice, whence
he proceeded by forced marches by way of Tyszowee, to Krylow ; anti on
the 9th passed the Bug, over the bridges which the Russians had thrown
over that river, for the expected corps of General Rudiger. At Krylow
he took Zit) Russian prisoners ; and several of them, in attempting to
escape by a hasty flight, were drowned in the river. A bridge, which
was set on fire by the enemy was saved, as well as a magazine on .hel
other side which the Russians had also attempted to set fire to. Sonie
100 Russians which were at Hrubieszaw and .hc neighbeurbood, hest.'
Leg of Dwerolekrs advance, feared he would cut off their retreat, eat
withdrew precipitately ; thus the whole district of Hrubieszow Y hood
from the enemy. The corps of Gen. Rudiger is said to be 7or 8,000
men, and to be between Luck and Wiodzimien. it Is further
stated, that this march of Dwernickl's, through Wolliynia, Podolia.
and the Ukraine, will not experience any great difficulty; as there is
no considerable body of troops in those parts, sod the fruitful country
will supply the soldiers whit provisions in abundance.
The Polish Courier says, " From a letter dated Lublin, the 9th inst.
we learn that a corps of nearly 30,000 men is in theivicinity of that city.
The Warsaw Courier says, "It is reported that there was an en-
gagement on the 18th with a corps of the enemy near Pultusk, but
we have no details, either of this action, or of that of General Sierawski
with a very superior force. The Russian head-quarters are still at
Siedies."
A private letter from Warsaw of the 21st says, "The define if
General Sierawski is fully confirmed. He was not able to reach the
left bank of the Vistula but with great loss. The arrival of thowiti
Dwernicki in Wolhynia, is said to have made but little impression
here. The Polish head-quarters are said to have been, on the 20th,
at Minsk.
Siuce the 18th,beavy artillery ammunition waggons have been arriving
in Warsaw, whence it is inferred that the Generalissimo intends to
avoid a battle. Fortifications coutinue to be erected at Praga and
Grochow. The Russian troops, under General Sicken, are said to have
entered Pultusk.

BERLIN, ARZIL 21.—There is no confirmation of the report that,
our Government intends to interfere, by arms, in the insurrection of Li-
thuania or Poland ; on our side the strictest neutrality is observed, and
the insurgents scrupulously respect the Prussian frontier. The report
of negociatioo with Poland is renewed. Two Counts, Lubimil, whe
have been to London and Paris, on missions from their 011110111111 Mt,
are now here. Fourteen bench surgeons lately appall to dent
Atofeus, the Russian Ambassador at Berlin, for passports to Warsaw.
He sent them to our Profeuar Rust to be examined; only four of them
could sbew that they were surgeons, and obtained passports. The others
confessed they knew nothing of physic. The Belgic General, Porte.
coulant who came here from France, with a false pasapoet, as a dyer,
has been discovered, and put into prison.
Posse, APRIL '2o.—lt is now affirmed that the Grand Duke Con-
stantine, who at first declined taking a command against the Poles, will
have the command of a large army, in which there are to be 60,000
Finlanders. On our aide 80,000 men are to be employed in covering
the frontiers in Prussia, towards Lithuania. They will form two corps,
ova which, as well as over the third, in the Grand Duchy of Parma.
Lieutenant-General Von Kraft will have the chief command, under the
direction of Field-Marshal Count] Gueisnau. Hamburg Papers,

Bastin, Aran. St —The communication between Memel and St.
Petersburg will motione till the total suppression of the disturbances
in the Government of Wilma, to be serried ou by means of a steam
boat. which will start from Memel every Monday and Thursday, and
leave Libau every Wednesday and Sunday.
Letters from the frontier describe the insurrection as assuming a
most formidable aspect. The main army is estimated at 13,000 men.
With this force they lately marched against Kouno,which they in-
tended to have occupied ; but on finding a Russian ree of 2,500 men
stationed there, they thought themselves not strong enough to venture
an attack, and contented themselves with occupying Slobodka, a
suburb of Kouno. Our amounts from the interior of Lithe-

When the Russians retreated from their positions on the
Vistula to Scidlec which is two or three days march from
the Vistula, it was evident that they gave up further hopes
of offensive operations. They now appear to have fallen
back an equal distance from Siedlec to Biala, and their van
were, by the last advice., at Thereepol, on the left bank ad
the Bug, near Bresc. In the mean time Dwemicki was
their front, and on their right flank In Volhynia and Lublin:
Uminsky was on their left, and Skrsynecki was pressing
their rear. There were reports that Siedlec was already
occupied by the Poles. Under all these circumstances, and
the equally important one that the whole country, for one or
200 miles, between them and Russia-proper, is in open

irrection, there seems little chance that many of this vast'
lament of despotism will ever return under arms.

CITY, TIVOO'CLOCK.

A great number of ship-letters have arrived this morn-
ing from all parts, but at present we do not bear they bring
any news of importance. We also have an arrival from
Calcutta, of the 2d January.
The French Mail is not come to hand, consequently we
are without any late information from the Continent.
There is a long bulletin in some of the morning journals,
from the head-quarters of the Polish Commander-in-chief,
which chiefly relate to the battle of the 10th previously re-
ceived ; but other accounts in the foreign papers state, that
the Russians have retreated, which may be only a feint, to
draw the Polish army from their resources.
This day is a holiday at the Bank, Stock Exchange, and
Foreign Market ; consequently, the brokers and jobbers
hare asaembled on the Royal Exchange, and Console, which
left off on Saturday at 7.81 79 for account, have been done
at 79. A manifest joy is expressed in the City, at the
happy success of the various elections in favour of the King
and Country.
Singapore papers have been received at the North and
South American Coffee-house to the 22d December. From
the Price Current : Opium, very little in the market ; a few
chests of Patna and Benares have been sold at dhs. 780,
cash, and 820 to 830, two months' credit. Piece goods,
Madras, are selling in considerable quantities at our prices.
Europe.—Extensive sales have been made of goods re-
cealy imported, particularly in long cloths and cambrics,
the former at 7 to 7i dhs. per piece, at usual credit.
In cceisequence of the Court being again closed, the mer-
chants are thrown into great embarrassment it being found I

We hear Guilford has returned two Reform Members.
We have a report that the Poles have obtained another
victory over the Russians; but as yet this requires confirma-
tion.

SPIRIT OF THE JOURNALS.
HiltALD.—The veriest 'cum of radicalism and jacobiniun never re-
sorted to language more disloyal, more vile, or atrocious, than that
which is now constantly issuing from the lips of those who, in the pros-
pect of a reformed parliament, foresee that, with Wolsey. they :bust
bid " a long farewell to all their former greatness," which mainly con-
aimed in a monopoly of most of the higher, and no small portion of even
the lowest emoluments in Church and State. We have seen the exhi.
bition of venom which some of these persons displayed in the closing
scene of the last parliament—we have seen the coarseness and the bit.
terms which are vented in their behalf through the small portion of
the press which still devotes itself to their service ; but these are
nothing compared to the angry reviling!, the disloyal turpitude, and
the almost revolutionary menaces, which they are giving loose
to in every place where they and their slander can find admission.—
Yet these are the persons who talk of their reverence and attachment to
latitutions, and who profess to deprecate reform as a prelude
to Oh yes! existing institutions are delightful things, as
long is shower their blessings on the few; and that, indeed, will
be a• a revolution which robs these disinterested souls of that which
alms secures and is a test of their loyalty and attachment I Hitherto
miclwleeal has seldom led its votaries beyond attacks upon each other;
anti-reform violence, now assumes a new and suicidal
new ; and the very persons, whose cant watchword has hitherto been
164 Church and King," now turn round upon themselves, and actually
1, assail the King with language which, if less than treasonable, is more than
I seditious. It behoves the people in general, however (sod they seem olive
to the call), to adore the conduct of their patriot King, just in propor-
tion as his and their enemies revile it. The loyalty a the borough.
mongers, it is clear, consisted of little else than what, in common We,
U celled "cupboard love." They professed, it is true, to reverence
the throne "as the fountain of honour," but only as they themselves
held the key : and now that there is a ance of the door being thrown
epee, and of that which was intended for the many being no longer
nintined to the few they are ready enough to throw mud into the
fountain, and to poison the waters of which they are no longer likely
to be the sole partakers. We trust that the honest friends of reform
will, every where, have more good sense and good humour than to re-
talkie upon these desperate throes of an expiring faction. One of
their objects is to exasperate the people. Of this let the people be
aware. Let angry feelings be confined to those who lose the game, and
unknown to those who are everywhere winning it. But above all,
Ist the King see, in every act of the people, the love and gratitude
which they tear him for having surmounted difficulties for them
geoter, we will venture to say, than have ever fallen to the let of
a lifeitich Monarch ; the real extent of which will never, from clot very
undue of them, be fully known to his subjects.
Posr.—The cause of Revolution is on the wane; the Revolutiosists
arel this, and proclaim their consciousness of it. They feel that reason
has failed them—that they are beaten out of the field of argument;'
and bullying, terrorism, mob violence—which our present Ministries
hove from the first avowed to be their main reliance —are ow i
more openly and daringly than ever put forward as the intro.
ant by which their purposes are to be effected. The lead.

the treatment which a " high-spirited people" (prohpadorl) ought to
inflict on any Constitutional Candidate who may dare to show his fees

" Once and again we warn them to desist; not if they value the lives
Oil happiness of others, for they are too selfish to besnoved by such
ceitiicrations ; but ti they valve their own." A more di.
no or earnest incitement to murder could not be ima-
ginsi. The ruffianly instigator, however, of all these " high-
' proceediogs, does not approve, it seems, of such
Kew. Excellent But we venture to assure him that
be will find few beside himself who will not be sincere in that dis-
approval. If any man having a Briton's heart in his bosom, be he
Whig or Tory, Reformer or no Reformer, do not loath the idea of
atrocities as are here advised, and execrate the proposer of them, we

line of viebroodeerdptiens,men differing from the brute onlyin form,who

emstion, weds swot mane, pretend to doubt. That it would be con-
fined to these we also firmly believe. But does this desperado imagine
dist any threats he can put forth will succeed in terrifying the sup-
porta of the Constitution from their duty ? He is mistaken ; they
are strong and unflinching in the good cause, and it is sincerely to be
hoped that the country, roused to a sense of Its danger, will aid their
exertions in frustrating this infamous attempt to impose upon free Eng-
land a system of mob terrorism and tyranny.
Travis —lt is pleasing to observe, that wherever reformers are re-
tuned, there is no different. or cavil about the extent of reform, and
that " the bill, and the whole bill" is the device on their triumphant
lams. We have heard, however, that in some quarters a grenadine
15:8 has been expressed, that ile qualification of a 101. house rent,
cities, would be almost equivalent to universal suffrage, and
admit great mobs of the people to the poll We call this suspi-

Posy.—Cambridge University Eketion.—Cheering accounts of th
probable issue of the approaching struggle for the representation of e„.
University of Cambridge pour in upon us from all plasters, and setn,
to leave no rational apprehension of a disastrous termination to that tune
portant contest. We have watched most anxiously the several ind:c
dons of opinion evinced by those enlightened s of which
University is comprised, and mat solemnly do we believe that sit r
present justly their sentiments when we declare our conviction

general condemnation of the unprincipled methods by erL.),
Moistens arc effecing their uifiah purposes. On this conviction It is
that our confidence in the defeat of Lord Palmerston and Mr. Crave.
dials is mainly based; and therefore, when we hold out this insurance
of success, we must most distinctly be understood to rely, up to tli,
last moment of the fight, on the unremitting exertions of all those t,
whom we have a right to look for succour at this perilous juncture.
an over-confidence in the result of the struggle cause one moment's n.

unworthy resignation in its result, be suffered to intervene between et e,
man and his duty—if views of wit-interest or convenience pollute the
Source:or choke the expression of opinion—if, in fine,. from whant,_
votive, or on rhatever plea, each one leaves that to be efftctcd by
his fellow, which it is a paramount duty he should contribute es.
wards himself—the race will not be to the swift, nor the battle t
the strong; the treacherous tactics of the enemy will prevail,
the recorded sentiments of the University will be at vz.
dance with those which it entertains, and the high sanction of its au.
thority will be employed for purposes detrimental to its character eat
destructive of its interests. Happily for the University, there net::
was an occasion when,with fewer motives for regret,eithcr of a ptivate
public nature, it could make an unequivocal demonstration of iis
"hike by ditcaiding its Representatives from a further continua:
et its coulidence. To Lord Palmetston's devervings we have
I already paid our humble tribute, and we arc happy to believe that we
have been the means of conveying to his Lordship a rebuke, likely, e.,
trust, when the first burst of indignation is over, to give rise to refit,.
Lions in which it will not be unprofitable for blot to indulge. Or.
Mr. Cavendish's conduct it was not our intention to have passed urt
single condemnatory comment. In deference: to his age, the difficul.;
of his situation, and the many estimable points of his character, viewer,
willing that his indiscretion should have met with no other rebuke that:
the withdrawal of the confidence of his constituents. But that for.
be:notice we would willingly have shewn to the worth of .311;
Cavendish, the indiscretion of those to whom he has enti uoted his can.
vass will not allow us to extend ; and we are &egged reluctantly int-
a short review of chat gentleman's conduct, vindication of tbr
character of those by whom it is now pretended that he is caericiously
tleeired. When Mr. Cavendish's claims were first presented to th,
University, recourse was had by his friends to every precaution that
could be taken to lull political feeling and divest the contest of a pan;
charecter. His academical distinction was studiously made the bud.
week of his pretensions—party politics were excluded from his letter to
the electors—stud a gentleman known only by his scientific ceiebrit;
was placed in the chair of his committee. Nevertheless a powerful
party in, the University still kept aloof, unwilling hastily to coufet
gr. at a trust on one of whose political sentiments so little was known.
It became accordingly necessary for Mr. Cavendish, in order to obtain
the support of this party, to make a more distinct avowal of his politi-
cal sentiments, and in his second letter to the members of the Senate a
pledge to the following effect was given ;—" I take this opportunity of
expressing my gratitude for the success l have experienced in my can.
vast. ; and although the circumstances under which I am a candidate
for your favour preclude me front any declaration of political °pink;
on particular points, I can with truth assure you that I yield to none in
attachment to our civil and ecclesiastical institutions, and in a sincere
disposition to maintain them."

Miseri, quibus
Intentata nites.
Could it reasonably be anticipated by those to whom this pledge was
given, that immediately on hie entrance into Parliament the pawn
from whom it had been received would become the dupe of a low and
extreme faction, and evince his disposition to maintain our civil and
ecclesiastical institutions by supporting the Irish Vestry Act, Vote by
Ballot, and an extension of the elective qualification to the occupation
of a house worth ten pounds a-year ? That Mr. Cavendish gave this
pledge with sincerity we believe; that he does not consider it incur.
Isisient with his conduct we are willing to concede ; but in return we
exact that those who accepted it with a different understanding should
be altogether liberated from their half of the ooligadoo.
THEIR MAJESTIES.

WINDSOR, MAY I.—Their MAJESTIES returned to the
Castle on Friday evening, a little before seven, escorted by e
party of Lancers.
Prince GEORGE of CAMBRIDGE, the Rev. Mr. WOOD,
Miss EDEN, and Miss WILSON, arrived yesterday forenoon.
Tbeir Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of GLOU-

The Qu EEN did not take her usual exercise yesterday.
This forenoon the Life Guards and Foot Guards proceeded
as usual to the Quadrangle of the Castle, where they went
through the different parade movements before their
M AJESTIEI, Visitors, and Suite, and then retired. In.
mediately after which the Royal party proceeded to St.
George's Chapel, where they attended Divine Service. The
Hon. and Rev. R. B. STol'l'oll,o officiated.
At three o'clock this afternoon the Qum; honoured the

We are happy to observe that the patriotic Baronet,
Sir Godfrey Webster, has been invited to stand for Chi-
. nester, J. Smith, the late member, being a candidate
foi Buckinghamshire. The other candidates are J. A.
Smith, from Midhurst, and Lord A. Lennox; but the
people resent the attempt to devote them to family in-
terests.

James Lyon, Esq. of Dallington, has joined Sir R. Gut-
ting, in his desperate contest for the town of Northampton.
They are opposed in the Reform Interest by Sir G. Robin-
son and R. Vernon Smith, Esq. who are very popular.
Lord Althorp is so popular, that several towns and pa-
ifhcs have agreed to a paper like the following, for Wel-
:ing4orough

' Having viewed with satisfaction the honourable and steady manner
in vitich our %coldly and respected representative, the Right Honour.
aMe Lnrd Althorp, Chancellor of the Exchequer, has, with his Col-
leatto,:k. brought forward and supported this great measure, calculated
to kettle the question of Parliamentary Reform, which has long, from
the resistance of its opponents, divided the country with so much ran.
eirous feeling, feel ourselves bound thus publicly to avow our deter-
mination to promote by our votes and interest, free of expense, the
:lection of his Lordship, in conjunction with some other independent
nobleman or gentleman, who will pledge himself to support the great
cause of reform anti retrenchment. '

The returns of opponents are as follows; the two Smiths
for S. Smith's Wendover, which the bill will disfranchise.
The two Drakes for their Amersham, which is to lose a
member. Messrs. Beckett and Holmes for Lord Lonsdale's
Haslemere, which !s to he disfranchised. The two members
for the Corporation •of Cambridge, under his Grace
the Duke of Rutland, which is to be thrown open.—
open. The two members for Lord Ailesbnry's Marlborough,
,which is to lose a member. And the two nominee members
for Whitchurch, which is to be disfranchised. Miles is, of
course, returned by Lord Londonderry for New Romney,
which is to be disfranchised: and Dick for Maldon, which
loses a member. The other three are Atkins for Arundel,
%% filch loses a member, and Lords Apsley and Eastnor, for
the Corporations of Cirencester and Hereford. What a
farce ! Such things the realm of England ! Such men the
3oleyuardians of its constitution !

Paget and his friends were on Thursday canvassing
the town and neighbourhood of Loughborough; Bags are
hoisted,with the inscriptions " Paget and Reform," " GOD
-are the King," &c.
‘Ve are authorized to contradict the report, that Sir John
Rod's carriage was broken by the Dover people. No such
occurrence took place. The triumph of the cause was as
,•:de:ly as it was complete.
liontlay morning Sir John Shelley's address to the elec.
!ois of Lewcs appeared in the Lewes Journal, in which the
hm. baronet stated his anticipation of " the honor of being
.;::in returned by a triumphant majority." Scarcely was the
paper above referred to published, when the committee of
John, who bad assembled at the house of the Misses
Shelley, were informed by Lady Shelley that her lord had
declined contesting the borough. This announcement caused
rheas inconceivable mortification. The news soon spread like
lightning through the borough, and was bailed with accla-
mation. A band paraded the town, and the general satis-
faction at Sir John's resignation was evident on almost every
countenance.

The gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood of South-
•aell, oil becoming acquainted with the retirement of Ad-
miral Sotheron, assembled with laudable promptitude, in the
Justice-room, on ‘londay last. At this meeting Mr. Deni-
son delivered a clear and satisfactory exposition of his pnu-
riples and objects, adverting pointedly to the grand question
.)f parliamentary retortn, with which the public attention is
.1:W intensely occupied. At the conclusion of his address,
4 resolution was passed, declaring, "That John Evelyn
Denison, Esq. v. as, in the opinion of the meeting, a fit and
proper person to be chosen one of the parliamentary repre-
sentatives of the county of Nottingham." After an expres-
.4en of general approbation, the meeting was then dissolved,
a pledge of re-assembling, in case any third candidate
should make his appearance, for the purpose of exerting
Personally their utmost endeavours to ensure the triumphant
success of Mr. Denison.
