CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY, Jiiss 13.

A contest took place last night in the 3:nate House
respecting a ♦ote. It originated in the circumstance of
a Gentleman intending to vote for Mr. Goulburn filling
up a ticket by mistake, on which was the name of Mr.,
Bankes. The vote had been tendered to the Vice-
Chancellor, and accepted, and the poll clerk was in the
act of entering it, o hen the mistake was discovered.
The Gentleman immediately insisted on being allowed
to correct the mistake; and upon the point whether he
was entitled so to do, a long and animated discussion
took place. The result was, the granting of permission
to rectify the mistake. A similar mistake occurred at
the loft election. During the bustle and excitation
which this affair produced, a liindon pickpocket con-
trived to gain admission into the body of the Hall, by
dressing himself in a Master of Arts' gown. His first
attempt, however, to exercise his craft proved him to
be far from a master of that art ; for he was detected,
and is now in durance vile in the Castle : 351. were
found in his pocket. The polling to-day has gone on very
quietly. At three o'clock the numbers were as follow :
The Attorney General ass

ItOCIIRSTER (Finn Dar.)
After 'the close of the poll on Thursday, a great disposition n
rioting was evinced by some of the party wearing the colours of
General Armstrong (pink) and notwithstanding all the precaution-
ary measures that were taken, a violent stuck was made on :tlr.
Bernal's party (the blue) about ten o'clock at night. The prom ft
and spirited interference of the constables, however, prevented
any serious consequences, by securing the most violent, none cr
whom appear to be electors. They were committed to prison.
At the usual hour yesterday morning the polling spin com-
menced with great spirit.
It is estimated that not more than $5O voters canoe broisght to
the poll. out of which $l4 have already voted.—Tint town was
quiet when our repress came away, but a disposition to riot still
manifested itself.

ORFORD CITY.
FROM TILE OIFORD HERALD.

Thursday, the poll commenced as vigorously as onl
the foregoing days, and at five o'clock it was published
as standing thos—
Laneuoa . 911
•
Lockhart . apt
Hughes . 64S
Thus leaving a majority of 31S for Mr. Langston. and
216 for Mr. Lockhart. The freemen polled being 1411,
a number unusually great in an Oxford election, it was
generally expected that Mr. Hughes would resign; as
address from that Gentleman, however, appeared son
after the close of the poll, in which he stated that he
was determined to continue the contest, being induced
by the promise he had given of enabling every freeman
to give his vote, for it 'appears certain that Mr. Hughes
is one of those true Englishmen wbo can appreciate the
.importance of a promise. Oa Friday morning, the pelf,
recommenced, and after continuing till one o clock, ft.e
numbers were—

Langston 1934.
Lockhart 960
Mews • • 729
The majority against Mi. Hughes still increasing, !!e
was induced by the earnest solicitations of his friends to
relinquish the contest ; this he did in a- tisiumer,higbly
characteristic of the true English Gentleman, exhorting
all to forget for ever the acrimonious feelings incident
to a violent contest ; expressing his gratitude to those
who had supported him ; and pledging himself to
come forward at any future time to fight the battle of
independence in Oxford.
The successful candidates were afterwards chaired,
according to old form, being accompanie4.3n that cer.
tainly most honourable, but we should suppose. most
uncomfortable, promenade, by a vast multftudeofTer-
sons, arm in arm, displaying blue ribands.' • ' •
Having thus fulfilled the duty we owe to tbe.piblie
of giving an account.of our City Election, .we.should
think it unbecoming, if not unjust, were wag tg suppress
the facts that have come to our knowledge respecting
the character of the losing candidate Mi. Hisghes...,ll's
political .principles,—principles which he so publicly
pledged himself to support, are well known to .the
Oxford freemen ; in that respect therefore praise on nor
part would be certainly useless : of the noble Joe flu
makes of his wealth and his interest Ise need only pro-
duce the unanimous vi.ice of his neighbours at Claphain,
and in the Isle of Wight, proclaiming a continued serits
of beneficent acts. honourable alike to Mr. Hughe as
a man of discriminating sense and true Christian Time:
of the conduct of Mr. Hughes, as a man of edeeation
and a Gentleman, we shall only serer to the behaviour
e .
he has shown in his late defeat:. c
Having stated to much, w einnot'refrant. trnin, ex-
pressing our indignation at the libellous lampoons-vies
which Mr. Hughes was assailed by some of his adver-
saries. We hope that the sun.will never shineiehtle
day that shall see the British press shackled.. nior4.pat-
ticularly in the case of such ebullition of public feeling
as may be elicited by a contested election; but all must
allow that the publications of silly falsehoods, reflecting
on the character of virtuous and peaceable citizens,
serves only to throw disgrace on the heads and hearts of
the writers, and to demonstrate the cupidity and avarice
of the printers.

LZICLSTBR, J.. as.

The polling commenced this morning at half past
nine o'clock, and the riot of last night appeared to have
operated as a conductor of the popular irritability ; arid
much more substantial benefit may be expected fro .n
the effect of the Recorder's promise that to-morroo A
second booth shall be erected for a second assessor to
poll the scut and lot votes. After the mail bags were
doted last night, the riot became more furious and
alarming, in the complete demolition of every pane or
glass in the windows of the Exchange, in wkich the
Mayor and returning officer had taken refuge. The
mob showed a determined intention of carrying the
building by storm, and it was only the opposition of the
constables inside, arming themselves with twig pikes
(originally made to oppose the expected French invasion)
that prevented the entrance of the combatants outside.
the speedy arrival, however, of a-detachment of the I st
Itc,,ont tent of Horse Guards, quartered attoughborou.;l s

2 d of some ye^mtnr7, soots quelled the disturbance.
t, however, before a great number of persons had been
seriously wounded. Alderman Wood received a severe
contusion in the head.

10MIRSKTSHIRE.
The nomination being filed for this day (Tuesday),
at twelve o'clock the High Sheriff, accompanied by the
_largest number of gentlemen we ever saw together in
Somersetshire, entered the hustings. There could
scarcely be less than from 8,000 to 10,000 persons
present in the square by the Hotel, by which the hust-
ings were erected.
The Rev. lignay Gazorwitu. presented himself to address the
frerholJers, when Mr. Diczuesos said that he claimed on his own
Fart, and that of the fr,eholders, the right of his friends to priority,
as he was the oldest mtmber.

Mr. Hoare said, that the House being dissolved, there was now
no member, and thus, as the first candidate, be had a right to claim
vottction for bis
The Huns Sneaurr said, that without entering into the question
of right, he thooghit practice and courtesy should secure precedence
to WIC Diciinsun s friends.

Colonel ilomt proposed, and Ilir. PIIILLTei seconded, the nonii-
'nathin of 4r. Dickenson, who expressed himaelf favourable to a
revision of the Corn Laws, and, though an owner of West India
property, friendly to the extinction of Slavery, if done safely, aid
with even-handed justice.
Sir Josikilawirtam proposed;and Mr. Hamm seconded, Sir T.
Lethbridge's nomination.
Sir Taunus LETKIBRIOOI, in acknowledging the honour proposed
to be again conferred on him, noticed that he bad been accused of
not canvassing the Comity. He would tell the individual who bad
said so why he bad not canvassed the County; not because he was
wasting in respect for the County, but because he had none for that
person. He should have thought it an insult to the county to canvass
it with such an opponent in the field.
The Rev. E. Casswet.t., brother to the candidate for Taunton,
nominated Mr. Hunt.

Mr. Ouvita HATWASD rose to second the nomination. When
asked," Who are you ?" he said, " Oliver Hayward, of Madford,
and am neither ashamed to give my name, nor to show my face."
Mr. HUNT then stepped forward and addressed the
electors at great length. He charged Sir Thomas Leth-
bridge with having caused Sir Francis Burdett to be
sent to the Tower ; and said he (Mr. Hunt) had, during
the investigation into the abuses in Ilchester, proved
before the Magistrates at the Quarter Sessions, that
great plunder had been committed upon the pockets of
the people in the assessment of the county rates. He
proved that the gaoler of Ilchester prison had been
instrumental, in a high.degree, to the system by which
the people of Somerset had been robbed. Mr. Harming
had beard it all, and was convinced of the accuracy of
what he stated. [Here Mr. Hunt told the particulars
of a case in which 800 pairs of shoes had been made
by piton labour, and never been accounted for in the
Treasurer's books, although delivered ,to the gaoler,
who, he had also proved, was in the habit of purchasing
delicacies professedly for the use of sick prisoners, but
really for.his own]. There were 100 charges of this de-
scririon against these jockeys, but he complained in vain.
He had an unexceptionable authority about him to prove
that the ceunty money, to the amount of. 6,4464 was
dd.:lent in the last year's accounts • that in fact it had
bee whelly unaccounted for.—(dries' df " Shame r
and immense tumult.) He had got the warrants of the
Traysnrer in his possession. The constable who had
handed them him was ready to srami forward and
prove they were correct. Mr. Hunt then pointed out
the omission of 4461. in one 'quarter's account, and the
omission of the whole account of another quarter. Al-
lan to the other. Candidates, Mr. Hunt obs:rved,
they ha 4 seid a great deal about the necessity of pas
seising landed property as an indispeosable reqnisite in
the representation of a county. NOwl GOD knew, that
he believed not one of the three of, them (Sir T. Leth-
bridge, Mr. Dickinson, and himself) was overburdened
v nth tidies. (Laughter.) He believed, however, that
he was himself the best off of the three,for of the little
property he possessed he had the title deeds. They never
lad been mortgaged yet, which he was sorry to say was',
7 of the case of his worthy brother Candidates.
Mr. Dscrtssom rose in evident pain from his chair, and declared
that this atatement of Mr. Hawes was, with respect to him, a most
outrageous misrepresentation, as not use atom of his estate had ever

been inortgaged.:—(Caies of N Shame, shame," and great tumult.)
Mr. ilunr, as soon as the noise bad subsided, said he had been
assured by common rumour that that was the case ' • but certainly
report was often a Use, and. indeed, it hadloften been proved so in
his owe cue. He next adverted to his trade of blackleg manufac-
turer, and said dial the other candidates were engaged in a much
blacker trade than his. After vituperating both the candidates, and
smiting many things which were contradicted, be sat down amidst
immense cheering, and cries et a Huai for ever." A good deal of
Wang and greasing, and laughter, also accompanied the termina-
tion of bis address. _ _

Mr. Lorinsumea (a he young man, the sett e I Sr Thomas) said,
had Mr. Hunt been qualified to represent them, it could not be
ender, d that that inidaal should be elected, as be cam forward
backed by such a scan as Mr. Creswell, who had not performed
his clerical duke properly. At present he did not think k neces-
sary to go farther into the subject.
Mr. Castaway. challenged him to prime the utiles:4er any other
fault attending the performance of his professional dudes. He was
able and willing to write a sermon against any Clergyman or any
Bishop in •Ifinglaa4—( Loud laughter, and tries of. SID you are).
Sr T. Lavnuainnn said, he excused his sea's impetuosity, upon
the /round that greatprovecation had been received. It was natural
fora child to exhibit disgust and in d when his parent was
reviled. He defended his conduct in Pa,Saseot, and accused Mr.
Hensel bevies come to the hustings with a falsehood on his tongue
end in his heart; it eras, be said, fake to state that the county
money had been misapplied or unaccounted for. He concluded by
solemnly asserting that be had always acted independently.
The Salaam then called open the Meeting to make tbek elec-
tion. Hands were then held up fee each of the candidates. The
Sheriff declared that the election fell spat Mr. Dickinson and Sir
T. Lethbridge.
Mr. Hoar—l demand a pod. Gentlemen, you'll all come to
Ilchater ea bloaday.—Tlie Meeting then separated.

Mr. Ikuce says he cm give bis adversaries two hundred more,

fidence of being returned, and reiterated his determination, at all
events, to keep the poll open to the last. He even excites the
admiration of his opponents by the fearleteness with which be
enters the mob, and by the activity and energy he displays in
canvassing ant bringing np his votes. The Tory candidates are
only regarded as the instruments by which the freemen can express
their disapprobation of Mr. Ellice: " No Ellice' is the cry ottke party;
but as for Fyler and Heatbcote, " no man cries' God save them."'
Tstrasoav Drama, Sex o'Ccocc.—Messrs. Moore and Ellice
have gained a majority for the first time of about 100 on the day's
poll; but are still 600 behind. The tide of public opinion is eons-
pletely changed, and the enthusiasm in their favour is as great as
,their unpopularity was on their entering the town. ' A body of
respectable Quakers, who had never before interfered, came up to
poll fur them in the course of the day, and the numbers of the new
candidates appeared nearly exhausted. Opinion still differs as
to the result; but if Messrs. Heatheote and Fyler obtain their
large
return, the party opposed to them, which consists of
almost every respectable person in the city, have determined to
petition, on the ground of the violence and obstruction given to the
poll by the mob of the Corporation, and the partiality and miscon-
duct of the Sheriff.

NOTTINGH4AISHIRE.
Norristown Jose IS.—The county election contineneed this
morning; the old Member, Admiral Sedition, was proposed by

Mr. Savile Easley, who offered himself on the principles of Re-
form, Catholic Emancipation, and a total repeal of the Corn Laws,
was proposed and seconded by Colonel "Vnidusan of Newstesd
Abbey, and Colonel Cooper. As there was no ;position. they
were declared by the Sheriff duly elected. Our county has not
been minuted for above 100 years.

our information further adds, that arrangements have been already

HUNTINGDON COUNTY ELICCTION, Juts 15.

The important contest for this county commenced this morning.
The candidates were Lord Jan Russell, Lord Mandeville, and Mr.

Fellowes.—M half-past 11 o'clock the business was opened by the
High Sheriff; Thomas Fryer, Esq. who, in a neat speech, after
naming the.purpose for which they bad assembled, requested them
to give each of the candidates a fair and patient heart*.
r JAMBI TOINCIII4TOW. Esq. proposed Mr. Fellevres,"l,l4, be °h-
eaved, was a Gentleman who bad represented them twenty years,
and during that time had never done any thing to tarnish his honour.
He had proved himself a steady and sincere friend to the farmer.
The motion being seconded,
Mr. Fe owes came forward to address them, bat was received
with persevering hisses. The outcry continued, and at last Mr. F.
after challenging any one to impeach his public character, retired.
H. P. &Amin Req. proposed Lord John Russell ; and the mo-
tion bein seconded by J. B. Roper, Iraq. •
Lord Joan Russ= came forward. He complained that there
had been a combination of live individuals of great property to
exclude him from the county. He would frankly tell them that his
opinion was, that the present Corn Laws required alteration, as
they did not admit of foreign importation till corn had obtained a
famine price. With respect to the Catholic Question, he was
friendly to it, nor did he believe that it would in the least endanger
ear Established Church.
Lord MILTON advanced and ',delivered a most powerful
which Weekend with the greatest attentloa,in favour of Lord John.
General Gamow then proposed Lord Mandeville! The motion
was seconded, and Lord Mandeville advanced to declaie his senti-
ments ; but such was the violence, hooting, and shouting, that pre-
vailed, that nothing could be beard. At half-pak three o'clock the

that there was some secret and-asalieloas end in view in calling
this meeting ; but what secret purpose could there be in view Its
bringing together the freeholders in open day ? His Lordship then
stated some of the public grounds upon which be thesight Mr.
Beaumont as improper person to represent the County, in the
course of which be mentioned several instances of tergiversation on
the part of Mr. Beaumont.

to tweed fors prise to which they all had a right to aspire; bat
he must repeat that he opposed no man.

detailed account of the public conduct of T. W. lieaumoat,Esq. and
