Somitasre.-Friday, Mr. Henry Hunt entered the county at
Smetana for the purpose of commenting his canvass. • On the
27th he arrived at Taunton in his barouche, fout-in.baid, attedded
by a great many of the yeomen, of the county. Mr. Mint was
asked. whether Ise came to blacken the shoes of tie' electors ; to
which he replied, that he would have no objection to do se, if he
could only .succied in his more important object of ettabling the
poor to get plenty of the other article in which be dealt. Some
declared, that he was a disturber of the peace of the county, and
deserved to be sendto Ilckester Gaul again. Near the White
Hart Inn, he addressed between three thousand and four thousand
of the yeomanry and inhabitants, from his carriage. "I am de-
termined," said he, "to appear on the day of nomination for the
county, and in the mean time, I shall canvass in person, or by
my friends, the whole of the extensive and populous county of
Somerset. • With the blessing of the Loan, I'll stand the poll as
long as my opponents are able to bring a vote against me. (Laughter).
Mr Hunt theh produced a squib, in which some political fee had
thought proper to attack his blacking trade. He was not. he said,
ashamed of that trade, and Mr.. 'Dickinson's friend had certainly
acted injudiciously in thus throwing the first stone, for Mr. Dick-
inson, it could be proved, himself carried on the' blacking trade,'
under the most revolting circumstances. Notwithstanding his
high philanthropy, Mr. Dickinson dealt in ' blacks'..--(Cheers and
laughter.) Nearly the whole of his revenue, by which he kept
up so respectable a show amongst his neighbours in Senior.
setskire, was drawn from amidst the groans and anguish of
poor creatures, whose colour was their only crime..-{Cheers).
It would be shewn by bins also, since his enemies had begun to
calumniate him,. that Sir Thomas Lethbridge likewise dealt in
"blacking." With the blessing of the Lofts, he would prove
that that Honourable Baronet bad dabbled in the filthy black.
ing of borough politics--(Ruars of laughter). And he believed
the use made by him of that odious material was not confined to
Taunton. Indeed, the elegant structure opposite to him (the market
house) was scarcely cleansed from the effect of a foul exhibition
which had been lately made there lie hoped his own blacking
concern would not any more be compared to the two blacking esta-
blishments of his Honourable competitors—(Loud laughter). ills
blacking was not allied to that most dreadful of all burdens-..a black
heart. It would soil the hands, but its source was not the source
of corruption—(Loud cheers)."
Sournwaau.—Mr. Polhill, of the firm of Messrs. Polhill and
Jones, tobacco merchants, High-street, Southwark. is a Candidate

WKSTMORILM•II.-Mr. James Brougham arrived here on Satyr.
day last; and on Monday morning, accompanied by a number of
respectable Gentlemen, commenced an active canvass on behalf of
his brother. The cause of independence is gaining friends every
day ; and we have authority fur saying that John Bell, Esq. will
give his suffrage to Mr. Brougham, and that Sir Sandford Graham,
Bart. is a ft lend to the rights and liberties of old Westmoreland. An
active canvass will immediately be commenced in every part of the
county. A number of electioweering addresses have been issued in
the course of the week, by both parties.— Antall Chronicle,
IRELAND.

Arrrans—This is an Orange county, and it will be represented
by Orangemen. A man with Milesian blood, or at least he has the
Milesian oto his name—a man who claims descent from the last
Kings of Ulster, O'Neil himself, will represent this county, in
copartnenlsip with an English importation, Lord Beauchamp. The
first is the brother of one of our Postmasters-General, and Grand
Master of the Orangemen of Ireland ; the latter is the son of the
Marquis of Hertford. With respect to the Hertford interest, it is
paramount in the county ; and although an absentee, be is au ex-
cellent landlord. Lord Hertford could return the two Members
if he pleased ; and it is to his interest principally that Colonel
O'Neil will owe his return.
A 11,40911 (Cie).—The representation of this borough is vested
in the Primate. It is now held by Mr. Stuart„the sun of the late
Archbishop. This Gentlemen, we imagine, will •be conipelled to
resign in favour of some scion of the noble house of Waterford.
In short, we shall have a Beresford for the borough of Armagh.
Amnon (Counev).--This county, though Orange and Prete*.
' tent, without the slightest contest, will return two of the most
, strenuous friends and supporters of Catholic Ematicipation—Col.
Caulfield, brother to the Earl of Char lemons, and Chas. Brownhow.

Fist WRITING.—A critic niticing the performance
of one of our Dodos Stars in the country, says, " She has her
myriads of admirers hi Comedy, but I would say with the critics,
that Tragedy is the' Meguerrannwati her mind.' She has also paid
a second vint to Northumberland, mitt, by the voluntaty votes of
al the Freeholders in criticism, has secured Let eketien Mere as the
representative of dramatic rnelkace, in the wilted boroughs of
• Tregesip and Cvssedy; without a contest, and seen without a
canvass.'
