NORTHAMPTONSHIRE ELECTION.
THE COMMITTEE for conducting the ELEC-
VON of Lords ALTHORP and MILTON, sit daily at
the British Coffee House, Coekspur-street, where all communteattons
are requested to be made.

AT a MEETING of FREEHOLDERS of the County
of DORSET, Resident in LONDON, in the Interest of
HENRY BANICES, Esq.
ALEXANDER BARING, Eli. in the Chair.

RESOLVED,

That, the Freeholders at this Meeting have read with surprise and
indignation the account received from Dorehesttr, of the violence
directed against the Freeholders present at the Nomination to support
Mr. BANSES, on Friday, the Bth of May.

That it appears that persons on hotaeback belonging principally to
Mr. Draw's Corps of Yeomanry attacked Mr. Bankes's friends, who
were attending on foot, and unprerarcd, in the presence of the High
She'll!' of the County. _ _ _

That the High Sheriff was obliged to dissolve the meeting in emu.
quince of the tumult created impeding the performance of his daty, and
preventing any decision by show of hands on the Nomination.
That the Freeholders present pledge themselves to support Mr.
BANKES'S re-election for the County, and to go to the poll with all
possible expedition, convinced that it is their first duty to repel intimi.
dation, to contradict misrepresentation, and to assert their own freedom,
and uphold the authority of the High Sheriff.
That the experience of Mr. Bankcs's conduct in Parliament proves
him the fittest person to assist, by temperate and firm counsel, the de-
cision of the Legislature on the momentous question of Reform.
That these Resolutions be signed by the Chairman, and published in
the daily papers. ALEXANDER BARING, Chairman.

THE EVENING STAR.

LONDON.
MONDAY, MAY 9.

Despatches were received this day at the Foreign Office,
Downing-street, from Lords GRANVILLE and PousoNST,
our Ambassadors in Paris and Brussels ; and from Sir
CHARLES BAGOT, at the Hague.

The Reindeer packet, which has arrived at Falmouth from
Halifax, brings the melancholy news of the total loss of the
brig Billow, from Bermuda for Halifax, with 30 invalids
belonging to the 81st regiment, and 68 women and chil-
dren, bound to the latter port. She struck on the Ragged
Islands, and all on board perished. Several of the bodies
had been picked up, and buried ; and the Captain's log-
book had been found, containing the names of the nnfortu-
Date individuals.

It grieves us to observe the cruel proceedings that we fear
are preparing at Bologna, where 135 of the Patriots are con-
demned to death. If the Italian Princes expect mercy, let
them be merciful. Their time mill come ; and as they judge,
may they be judged.
The letter of our correspondent in Paris, received this
morning, along with our usual supply of French Journals,
and which we insert below, will be found interesting, as
affording a fresh peep into the character of French popular
sentiment at this moment, when the elections are just coin-
mencing in that country. It is to be feared, that the pre-
sent calm in Paris is not to be confided hi, as likely to be
of long duration ; and that the Chambers to result from the
new election may probably prove to have a stronger infusion
of republican spirit, than will be found quite convenient to
the present pacific administration.

We !egret sincerely to notice, that the Polish intelligence
is becoming more chequered. The address of the brave
SE aTRNICKI, at once breathing valour, candour, and saga-
city, must be read with much interest. There is great reason to
hope, that the bold and rather apparently hazardous advance
of Ow ERNIC K I, into the province of Volhynia, will prove to
have been vindicated in its prudence, by the general pa-
tiotic co- peration of the population of that district.
Among our extracts from the Paris papers, will be found
one from the Courrier Francais, in general, a very judi-
ciously edited journal, announcing the intelligence, that the
Russians were withdrawing their army from the banks of the
Pruth in Bessarabia, which this paper connects with the
fact of the recal of Count GUILLIMINOT from Constantino-
ple. It argues that Russia keeps in pay the Rats EFFEN DI,
the DRAGOMAN, and other influential servants of the
Susi., at a PORTE, and thus counteracts any individual de-
termination of the SULTAN. It truly observes, that the
habitual blindness of the Powrz too often awaits, until all
its friends are beaten, in order, afterwards, to present itself
singly in arms. It is to be apprehended, too, that the bastard
civilization which MAIIMOUD would impose on the Mussul-
mans, weakens their natural energy. Turkey has arrived at
that crisis, in which nations are the weakest; when, not having
acquired the resources of civilization, they have lost that
rade force which characterizes barbarism. This is the first
time,—continues the Courrier Francais—that Russia, after
a fierce and important war with the Porte, leaves the line
of the Pruth unprotected.
"This event coincides perfectly with the recal of CountGu
Lail] NOT, founded, it is said, upon the insinuations which
that Ambassador had made to the Porte, on the subject of a
war with Russia. It will not be astonishing, that by the
Reis Effendi himself, or by spies, that Russia has been in-
formed' of the proceedings of Count Gut LLEKI NOT, and that
she has demanded his recal in order to remove all apprehension
of war upon the Danube ; and that our feeble Cabinet has
