DEATH-BLOW TO BIGOTRY IN ESSEX.
(BY EXPRESS THIS DAY.)
This day, Thursday, the sth of May, should be for ever
recorded as a day of exultation and triumph for Essex. Mr.
Harvey and Mr. Mayhew are both returned for Colchester
by immense majorities, there being left in the town 200
voters for reform unpolled, when the blue fly gave in, and
Sew away.
The Essex Election at Chelmsford has been equally aus-
picious as far as the first day goes. Mr. Western and Mr.
Wellesley are beating the Tory candidate in superb style.—
The best feeling prevails between them, and all jealousies
are merged at once in the great cause of Reform. The peo-
ple actually would not hear the Tory orators speak, aad
though there was remarked the total absence of any thing
like violence or riot, yet determination of purpose marked
every countenance, and proved the game to be up with the
boroughmongers. Mr. Harvey arrived from Colchester in
time to make a most powerful speech, and it had a great
effect.
The town of Colchester is to be illuminated on Friday
evening, in honour of the defeat of the Corporation. This
is the first time for a century that two reformers have been
returned.

ELECTION FIXED.

Truro, May 4.—Candidates, Lord &combs, N. W. Peach, Esq.
Id. Tooke, Esq. H. WiHymns, E.q.

The returns of yesterday give at least • dozen additional votes to
the cause of Reform—making, in the whole, a gain of nearly four-
score already.

HUNTINGDONSHIRE.-Our miserably degraded and
rotten borough has been once again sold by the " House
of Hinchinbrook," like stock fish at Billinggate, to fo-
reigners—perfect strangers even to those degraded menials
who call themselves " free-men," and who hare pro-
mised to support these opposers of the rights and li-
berties of Englishmen. Were my Lady Sandwich to
send two subjects from the " King of the Canibal Islands,"
as her Ladyship's nominees, I do not hesitate to say that
a majority of the " discerning" burg. asses of this " prop
of the constitution" would support them. On Sunday even-
ing Messrs. Peel and Pollock arrived here from " GOD knows
where," as candidates for the honour of representing this
radical borough in Parliament—in lieu of the " poor things"
who have tendered their resignation. Monday morning was
ushered in by the jingling of the bells, (no other rejoicing
whatever), and at half-past ten the new candidates com-
menced canvassing. In the mean time the real freemen—
(men who dare support their King and country, and who are
not to be bought by a " squeeze of the hand," and a " how
d'ye do,") were not idle. The work of a reform in this bo-
rough, must, however, be left to the hands of the new
Parliament.

Two REFORM MLM REIS RETURN ED FOR BRIE-
TOL.—Tbe cause of Reform has triumphed in this
City. The victory has been gained by the moral ener-
gies of the people alone, unaided by the influence
of corruption—undaunted by the fear of losing their em-
ployment with which they were threatened. The Free-
men of Bristol have indeed nobly responded to the
appeal which their patriot king bad made to them, they
have set an example which we bops will be followed in
every city throughout the empire.
