BRISTOL ELECTION.

MONDAY NIGHT, ELEVEN o'cLocit....l have just
passed through the City—all is quite calm and quiet, I
and there has been nothing like disturbance at any I
part of the evening. The military have again been
removed entirely, and the volunteers no longer as.. I
semble. During the day there is a large posse of
blue-bludguoned constables in the street before the i
Hall, up the stairs, and in the body of the place, but
they are not mischievous ; and the rabble have free
ingress and egress, and are allowed to make as much
noise as they please. Mr. DAVIS polled this day 152 ;
and Mr. HUNT only 9, having postponed his intention
of astonishing the blues for the present. After my I
letter of the day was closed, a most violent alterca'
tion took place in Court: a Huntite. who was upon
the wrong side of the scaffolding, and rather obstre-
perous, received a cob upon the souice—this the party
todk in great dudgeon—the contagion spread to the
bench, and horresco referent, Mr. H. told Mr. D. that
es he was a murderer and a villain g'—and Mr. D. in
return told Mr. H. that go he was a desidcabk coward !"
How fortunate it is that hard words break no bones !
were it otherwise, could there have been a whole bone
lett in the skirt f either Candidate ?
The most scurrilous hand-bills are in circulation.
and, I atn sorry to say, from the Blue party almost
exclusively. One of them advertises HUNT as 0, a
lunatic," escaped from the custody of Mother ViNca
(a Acre omit of that gentleman) • and describes
him as an adulterer—a blood hound—a shooter 6f
, tame ducks on a Sunday—a brewer of affidavit pot-
ter—and other matters equally witty, and equally
ill-judged; for it only exasperates him, and produces
no effect upon that class oersons *ho support him.
IN COURT, TUESDAY, HALF-PAST TWO O'CLOCK.—
Nothing doing—the two Sheriffs picking their teeth—
Counsellor GRI,FITHS peeping with his eye-glass into
the Statutes at largeand Mr. HUNT gone to take
an airing on horseback.—State of the poll—Awn,
118—Hour, 5.
linage o'cLoce.—Mr. Hurr has returned amidst
the thunders of his party.—The Under-Sheriff pro-
claims, u if there are any more voters for Mr. HUNT,
let them now come forward—this is the second time
of asking." Mr. Haar replies—" Presently, Mr.
PALMER, there is no hurry."—u Here, my friend,"
says be, to i man who presented himself,—“ you are
not wanted yet.—There ! amuse yourself with read-
ing that •"—and tossed to him, from the Bench, a
reprint of Cobbett's Letter to the People of Bristol.
In a quarter of an hour the Under-Sheriff repeats
his third time of asking i—and tben Mr. Htrxr says,
es There, you may vote now; knd read another time."
This is the way we go on, and this is the way we
,are likely to go on

MA2QUIRADE AT VAUXIfALL.-I'he FAshionable
World is about to be delighted with a revival of one
of those splendid and attractive entertainments which
were so much the rage with the votaries of pleasure
during the last century. The Proprietor of Vault.
hall, yielding to the wishes and solicitations of the
Nobility and, Gentry who are in the habit of visiting
these charming Gardens, has announced a Gr
Masquerade for the evening of Monday, tbelllklC
instant, under the patronage of his Royal Higlies.'
the PRINCE Rehear, and by the special committal
of his Royal Highness the Duke of CAssaatrai.--
There certainly is not a place in Europe better cal-
culated for such a purpose, and we already enjoy, by
anticipation, the gay and animated scene which the
numerous groupes of fancy characters and dominos
will present to the ra wished senses. Although'ihe Pro-
prietor has already expended such immense sums in
decorating the Gardens for the regular Searon, with
his usual liberality he is once more making most wetly
and sumptuous preparations for the entettainuaent
his guests on the above splendid occasion. Numerous
parties have already applied fur Tickets for the en
chanting festival, and there can be no doubt that an
overflow of visitors will amply compensate the git•
nerous emulation of the Proprietor to gratify the
public taste for truly rational enjoyment.
