The popular indignation rose so hi g h , that the polling booths were attacked , and the books _destroyed . A _messenger was despatched with the tidings _. tr x _> _i _i- _i-i i ii r . . i ° to Hereford , from which place a body of special con- , _~ uuUU 1 u , _iiuiu Wi « _icn _P u « . « a , u . _iv . y vi _s-peciui coo-

The head quarters of tho Pro- , .. . , , . _t . , ,. -, -, teet _. onist part y sustained a great loss ot window glass , and nil wearing Conservative colours were obliged to take flight . On Monday , the high sheriff held a court , to make the return of members for the county . It was su- . _i _„ ,, , ,. _A 1 T ,, , •' , . ? , p , _tcd , on the part of Mr Lewis , that the case should be specially reported to the House ot Commons . It was contended h y the other party , that secondary evi-

    that , but I wish merel y to make this remark ( renewed uproar from , the supporters of the Marquis of Blandford , ) and I beg to call the attention of the gentlemen from . Isleworth ( ahudin g to a mob of rough-looking fellows who had made their appearance while the proceedings were going on)—those friends of the magistrates -who , if they were brought up before them for taking a hare , would be sure to get three months ( great laughter , and a voice , ' Oh , yes ! insult the people' ) , I want merel y to say , that as to Lord Blandford being the friend of the church , there is a remark embodied in four lines of a popular poet , which I will repeat for vou : —

    " A man may cry , ' church , church , ' at every word , Without more piety than other people ; The daw ' s not reckoned a religious bird Because he keeps caw-cawing from the steeple . " ( Great cheering and laughter . ) In this strain he continued for some time , 3 _« d then , turning round , he said - . — "I say to you , electors and non-electors , be on your guard , not only against the aggressions of the Pope , but also be on your guard ( the uproar was here again renewed

    for some minutes )—beware not only ot the nggvossiona oi the Pope , but also be on your guard against the claims of the Pretender . ( Great cheering , — hooting from Lord Blandford ' s part of the hustings . ) Since when had the Marquis of Blandford this violent fit of Maynooth ? I find that , in tho year 1815 , on the 3 rd of April , fhe noble marquis supported Sir It . Peel when moving for leave to bring in a bill for taking tbe money of the people in order to g ive a permanent endowment to Maynooth . I find that when the worthies of the House of Commons—

    -Spooner , lorbes M'Kenzie , and Sibthorp— brought forward motions to deduct , the expenses of repairs to Maynooth from the grant charged on the consolidated fund , the Marquis of Blandford never gave one vote for what i . s called the Protestant interest . Rut , J , who am represented as the intimate friend of Cardinal Wiseman—whom I never saw—I , who am for Papal aggression , — what did I do on that grant , for which Lord 1 . landlord voted and for whicA bis conduct is npproved by the Protestantism of Pon nall and the credulity of Do _Rurgii P I said I wouW be no party to taking the money of the people of . Kng land to endow the Catholic priests in Ireland , anil I voted instead for tho amendment of Mr .

    , „ But Lord Blandford voted against then ) , he had always voted against them ; and what had been Lord _BhtiKlford ' H course on Free-trader ' He had voted against the repeal of tbe corn-laws , and since that date in favour of all Mr .
