M IDDLESEX ELECTION.

All the hopes and wishes of the Branford folks are
completely knocked on the head. Last evening it was
17pposed that a rival Candidate would be put in no-

minatioa ; but alas, these expectations have turned out
futile in the extreme.

From the feeling with we have witnessed, and th 4
communications we have received, there cannot be

doubt, but that had any Candidate, with even a glim-
mei ing of talent, showed himself, he would have been.
returned. None of the joyousness or hilarity attendant en
an Election was manifested this day. The people of
Brentford, recollecting the times of MAINWARINO and
BURDETT, were completely in the dumps. A sombrous,
cloud hung over them, and any thing but a kindly
feeling was manifested towards their late representatives.
Mr. BYNO they respect as a private Gentleman ; but
his Senatorial abilities they consider even below par.
Mr. WHITEREAD has certainly not gained ground in the
county, and were any other persons to be put in nomi-
nation the former members would find it a difficult job
to be reinstated. They are now, however, the repre-
sentatives of the sentiments of the Freeholders of the
Metropolitan County of Great Britain.; and what we
are to anticipate from their exertions in the Commons
House of Parliament, the past has sufficiently shewn.
The preparations in the different houses of entertain.
ment, under the expectations of Mr. Newell making
his appearance as a rival candidate, were of the most
extensive nature. Beds were taken down, furniture
was removed, a general clearance made for the worthy
and independent freeholders of Middlesex ; but, sad to
say, all these preparations proved unnecessary, and
curses, both long, loud, and deep), followed those re-
creants who would not come forward, and rescue the
independence of Middlesex—but enough
Mr. BYNO made his appearance at an early hour this
morning, and was followed shortly after by Mr.
WHITBREAD, accompanied by Mr.Hosnousa, the Mem-
ber for Westminster.—The Sheriffs, Messrs. CROWDER
and KELLY, appeared on the hustings at half past ten
o'clock. The business was opened in the usual way,
and Lord WILLIAM Roseau. proposed Mr. BYNO, as
a very fit and proper person to represent Middlesex.

Mr. TArio seconded the proposition; each delivering
a speech declaratory of the merits of the Candidate.

Mr. RIDLRY COLBOURN proposed Mr. WHITBREAD,
and was followed by Mr. Hosuom. The usual ques-
tions being put, whether there was another Candidate?
and no reply being given in the affirmative, the
Sheriffs declared Messrs. Ilune and WHIT/MUD duly
elected.
__

The Honourable Member, as we may now eau
him, Mr. WHITSIMAD, in more words, perhaps, than he
has ewer before exercised in his Senatorial capacity,
returned thanks, and the meeting of the Freeholders,
which had a most dolorous appearance, separated dis-
contented and disappointed.

This forenoon we received German Papers to the 14th
inst. An article from Frankfort states, that little business bas been
done on 'Change, nor had the funds fluctuated much. The Austrian
funds had risen at Vienna; but according to the last dividend they
yield .6 percent.—The Darmstadt subscriptions at Frankfort were,
on the ith inst. at 75i. There is again e report la circulation, that
the Grand Dotal Government, in concert with the loose of Row-
emu" means to adopt some mosso, to raise the current Edo pi
this stock. '" •

Maroburgh Papers to the 19th instant reached us this
forenoon : they contain nothing of any interest. An article fres
Berlin states, that large supplies of wool have already arrived foe
the approaching lair. The owners expect better prices than at
Leipsic, because the Prussian Government has assigned three mil-
lions of dollars to be lent on wool lot sold, so that the landholders
will not be obliged to sell at a great loss.

Singapore Pipers were this forenoon received at the
North and South American Coffee-house, of the lath of January.
They state that Captain /3uasay, our Envoy to the Court of Slam,
had arrived at Ilankek, and had an audience of the Biro who was
very favourably disposed towards Europeans.

Calcutta Papers to the Ist of February have reached
vs; one of them states that the Bishop of Qualm had proceeded
to Madras on an Episcopal visitation.

Letters have been received horn Cape Coast Castle of
the ISth of April: they state the King of ASHAWriIt has again taken
the field, and, is a desperate battle, completely defeated the Ackisns,
our most steady and faithful allies. Commerce is wholly at a stand.

In a part of our impression yesterday we announced
that hostilities had re-commenced with the Burmese, and that the
enemy bad been completely defeated. The official Dispatch, an-
nouncing this event, Is inserted in our first page. The duplicity
and bad faith of the King of AVA will, we doubt set, be severely
chastised by our gallant troops.
