:en• gb, nig ~ • WOR CESTRE ELECTION.--The 'EleEtion for this 'City would, it was generally supposed, have pro-. , duced a warm contest. Had not Mr. .ATTERSOLT. declined the preceding evening, the struggle must have been between that Gentleman and Mr. Ro- Batyrs. Mr. GORDON'S popularity was. irresistible. : the number of his friends and supporters. had, Once the Election,- increased beyond all expe6tation;and, the .power and influence of the CorporatioS, were completely destroyed. When his name ':Wbs de clared from , the Hustings, -it was received Wit;hterii versal and enthusiastic cheers; and his admitable Speech contributed, in a very material degree, to the triumph of genuine independence. The spirit and exertions. of the Eleants have finally succeeded in rescuing the City from the slightest imputation , of • venality, and Woreester is now allowed to possess as substantial claims to the free exercise of.i-be elec-. tive - franchise as any city or town in the United Kingdom..
