Gentlemen, The contest has terminated in favour of my opponent. I should not do justice to ney feelings if I failed is express, in the strongest language, the sentiments of gratitude and respect which I entertain towards those electors, amounting. to nearly 12,000, who wave recorded their votes in my behalf. - They hive been defeated—not by the Tortes, but by a section of the Whigs. Individuals professing peculiar attachment to the cause of Iteligious Liberty have* thrown their' weight into - the scale of a Candidate who avews.his intention of refusing to Roman Csitholics benefits.which he is ready to bestow on Protestants. Men who exult in having carried Reform, and Free Trade,—soener than support a Candidate who desired to develope both these, hare coalesced With a party by whom both were resisted till resistance llsecameirripossible. The 'course pursued has not been more inconsistent than the .Pleas Or it have been untenable. Bjgotry.against Roman. Catholics has been attributed to me. The Same persons consider it venial . in Mr. Denison to legislate. against. Bentsen Catholic rights, and unpardonable in Sir Culling Eardley ta ' controvert Roman Catholic tenets! It is an offence against charity to debate the great and glorious problems of the sixteenth century la The temper and spirit of the ' nineteenth ; but It is compa ratively innocent to conduct the legislation of the nineteenth cen tury after the narrow and exclusive fashion of the sixteenth.! , Such Perkins haVe yet to learn the real Value net only of religious liberty, but - of religion itself. The man who 'really loves freedom mild never bring himself to vote against it, or even to be neutral, when it IS at stake. The man who really prizes religion could never punish another man for zeal, however apparently excessive, in the cause saf truth. . . . • It has been. objected to me that lam not a Yorkshireman. A re striction which no gentleman would Adopt in the selection of a con fidential or legal agent, has been Urged as paramount in electing a 111MarmentatIve. • . It . his been insisfe d that lam opposed to the connexion of Church and-State. Whit so is every Dissenter. Te avow such a test is simOy to ostracise Dissentors—a course consistent in Tories; but in explicable in Whigs. I have repeatedly stated my belief that public, sphatin is not Mr the separation,—an event which can never be consummated. se %mg as the Establishment retains'its hold on the affections of the people. Through s „en excuses, the real fact Is transparent. The Whigs alinda t• ..:I'4 afield of the spirit of liberty Which they hive evoked, Ind -4117,a Made np their minds:to prefer finality to prOgress. Let is hope that there are those in- their ranks who love the ipeptilar cause too well Sot to rejoin it. It is not too late. Twelve %bowsaw! Yorkshiremtn will hail them as leaders if they return. Let' thenaenly.onco.and for ever abandon the miserable trickery of trying Ss govern 'lreland by subsidlSing. the priests. Not twelve, but twenty-. . six fhlaniand'Yorkshlre electors are agreed upon this ; and that pha lasx.acproagnts a_carresponding feeling - In all the constituencies of this copAtry. t Let. the Whigs trust the people ! Let them do justice to tliMrTfitelllgende—to their grievances—to their claims ! An Eng lish_ 'gentles:nate wive confides in hisamuntrymen teed never'be afraid of being aneplanted by demagogues. The people 7111 defer to him fr. niittiSrs of 'detail' it they only see th 4 he loves them and treats tketti With resPect. But of this the lauded tgentry in Torkshlre may rat assured—if the ;Aguilar party do, rwt find leaders in their own county, they will Seek them elsewhere.'

There are now SOO teachers connected with it, who instruct the motive Irish in reading the Word of God.' Since the commencement SWIM individuals, chiefly adults, have thus been- taught to reek the Scriptures, many of whom embraced the Protestant One hundred and eight Scripture readers are employed, who read the Irish Bibles in the cabins, or to pimps 'of the peasantry at work in their fields, or by the road side. . Seven Irish -sneaking clergymen areln connexion with the Society who read the Liturgy, .and preach the Gospel in the native language. Ten congregations of converts have been raised up, or are now ministered to through the i ns t r umentality of the Soci e ty. T wo of these are in the county of Galway, two in the county of. Cork, and six is Kerry. Many Roman Catholics, not included la those distinct congrega- Hens, have been brought, through • the blessing of Almighty God upon the Society's labours, to renounce the 'errors of Rome, and are now incorporated with old Protestant congregations. Some groups of converts who have been instructed by the Society are asking for Irish clergymen to be located amongst them. .• In various places crowds of Roman Catholic,' attend• Protestant churches and school-houses; where an Irfsti-speaking clergyman hat 'been announced to preach. One clergyman states : " In the Cathedral or L—•-io I ?reached ea Wednesday evening. The church was filled, the Roman Catholics etandinir Lap •to the reading-desk, and outside the doors. At D--, on Sunday. night, there, had we a place large enough, We might have had many hun dreds of Romanists ; as it was, we had a goodly number, and those who were obliged to stand outside the ndow occasionally requeated that I would speak up, so as they mig wi ht hear." oc . . _ Another writes : • "I had a most interesting tour othrough th e in all. e Iri Im sh districts count preached Se sermons, in Irish,. t..over 2,ay that 1,000 were converts; 500 Ronignists, and 500 old Protestant'. One poor man, who was not hearing me, heard- so much about the sermon from ethers, that he said he would ' cons to hear the next sermon, if the priest would. roast him in the fire for it.' Many a poor creature front the heart said, 'O, when will yea come again sir ? Alas ! • that we haient an Irish ministry'" Such are some of the results of the Society's proceedings ; hint the committee would allude to one mere, of considerable importance at the present time, and that ls,•that wherever tke native- Irish have been instructed by the Society,. they have become loyal - subjects of oar Queen, and abstain from all connexion with the treasonable practices - and illegal associations which are sohostile to - the peace and prosperity of the kingdom. _ The Committee have made diligent inetattlea upen.this subject,ant the replies to , their inquiries have 'been highly satisfactory. The following are extracts from one letter oitt of upwards of :twisty. of the same character received by the Committee :—. ." I affirm it as.a -fact that could net be contradicted, that out of the thousands in Ireland connected with the Irish-Society, that none of them are - connected with illegal associations, er with that dan gerous agitation . now so fo rmidable, and hostile to Ireland's best interests. Onr teachers and pupils are almost entirely friendly to British connexion ; they have felt Romeo spiritual- tyranny,. and • they believe,. if the union with Great .Britain were dissolved, that both spiritual and political {tyranny would become intolerable." And there are not a few instances of members of Ribbon or ether illegal associations having been oenlerted through the instrumen tality of the Society, and. now employed in teaching their country men to read the Word of Ged. • ' ' An indvidual whciately visited a congregation of converts in one . of the wildest districts of the west, remarks : " When I entered the cabin, the whole congregation rose, seeing a stranger with a Bible in his hand, and gave me a hearty vrel come, crying out' Cead Mine Failtite," Cead Mille Failthe' ; They were orderly-in their conduct, and deeply attentive to the Word of Get. - I was especially pleased with the demeanour of. two indivi deals, and net a little. gratified at afterwards hearing their story. One had been a celebrated and. lawless pugilist, the other the leader of a Ribbon Lodge, both of them daring characters in the neigh beurheed ; but through the mercy of God they met with the teachers of the Irish Society, they wore instructed in the Scriptures, and sow, from their respectable appearance and general conduct, as well from the change which has taken place; they might-be described is the language of inspiration. • Sitting/at the feet of Jesus. clothed. and fa their right mind.' One of them is the. owner. of the cabin where the congregation was assembled—the other, the Scripture Reader employed,in the distriet.". To extend these benefits, - ' under . the blessing of God, amongst the Irish-speaking part of the population the present appeal is made. It is s.eknewledged by all parties that romethingnanst be - doni for ' Ireland ; aid without limiting the measures which may be devised by the benevolent, the Committee of the Irish Society of London would respectfully suggest that religious instruction should have a prominent place amongst them. • • It has succeeded in the Protestant districts of the north of Ireland, which are as free from crime, disloyalty, and pauperism as any parts of England, and where industry and order flourish to a remarkable degree. It has succeeded, under the blessing of the Most High, in those native districts and localities where the inhabitants have been instructed by the teachers of the Iris Society, In which crime, sedi tion, and animosity have given place to:peace, to loyalty, aid goodwill. And why should it not succeed upon a greatly extended scale ? It is a measure which the Committee believe God will honour—that God will surely bless. There is a prom:se which they would desire to remember, and in -humble reliance upon which they carry bn, the work committed to their charge---.. My word— ....shall, not retnrn unto me void; but it 'shall Accomplish that which I please, 'and it shall prosper in the thing whereto ;I sent it." That " word" when blessed by God the Spirit, will teach even the most deluded of the Irish peasants to " submit to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake." It will inculcate industrious habits—" if any. would not work,. neither should he eat." It will produce a respect for life and property, and thus- give an opportunity for the introduction Of capital, and the employment of the people at home, enabling them to support themselves, instead of being a burden to others. • - ," - - - - It will be the ~u re remedy for treason and rebellion--" Fear God —honour the king—and meddle not with them that are given to change." , Subscriptions and donations Will be received by the bankers ; by the Treasurers and by the Secretaries itt the Society s Office, 12, Sackville-street, Piccadilly; by Messrs.

Mere exalted than mere passion, it sears high above every other Impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but mere engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from Its influence, sr can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo .sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which. unlike 'meet things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. When union does not take place, however. this passion. this fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things upon earth. Hove ie it that men, after of most un changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and a life time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very ton tine spent which should be Most binding to an honearable mind it is the effect of conscience. , The Lover, by enervation of early habits, er the results of secret disease, knows himself I. be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been It.stituted by' Divine Law for the fulfilment of important ends.

Lieutenant Loeser left Monterey in August last, for Payta, in Peru, which s place he made in forty days. He came thence by the 'way of Panama and 'Jamaica to this city. In company with Lieutenant Loeser came David Carter, who went out to California in the employment of the Government, early in -the commencement of the war. From the latter we learn that there was no excitement in California, except that produced by the reports from the gold regions of the Sacramento and its tributaries. The mania for gold digging had. reached, such a length that. it , was difficult to procure workmen in Monterey, except at the most extravagant wages. Desertions had taken plaee from the-United States forces, and from the marine to such an extent that the United States ship Ohio had to supply men to take the sloop Warren lower down the coast out of the way of the infection. From the latter vessel a boat's crew deserted in open daylight for the golden regions. • Company Fad Artillery, and:the dragoons, left at Monterey, had suffered little from desertion, but the citizens, generally had gone off in quest of the precious Lieutenant Loeser brings over with him specimens of gold obtained in . the valley of the Sacramento. Some of the pieces are the first found in the eountry. The extent of the gold region bas not been ascer tained, but the ore has been found in a territory ISO miles in extent and 40 in breadth. Mr. Carter thinks that many of the accounts of the great abun dance of the precious metal in the region in which it is: found are exaggerations, but that it is discovered in large quantities is absolutely known. lie informs us that the ore is procured, at some risk and vrith.great labour, yet :that it must abound ip the country- - considering the quantities brought to Monterey, and the imperfect means employed in separating it from the soil. The tract of country constituting the gold region is • Jevel plain. Whether the particles , of gold have been washed down from the mountains or heaved up by volcanic force, no one knows, but the latter is. generally believed to be the true theory. Mr. Carter has himself seen drops of virgin gold weighing two ounces, and there are those who assert they , have met with it in bulks of greater weight. As yet, all attempts to employ capital in procuring gold have resulted disastrously. Those who have organized a company to collect the precious metal have lost their outfits, for the persons hired for such a service invariably leave their employers and set up business‘on their own account—taking with them the implements entrusted to them. The gold is not con- , fined to the beds of the rivers, but everywhere within pteicribed limits it May be had by digging up the earth, and washing the soil from the metal. The effect produced in .California by this new source of wealth has been anything but beneficial to the colonists- or advantageous to the public service. The New York volunteers, as soon as they were dis banded, repaired , to the gold region, Colonel Steven 7 son with them, and every article of merchandise, food, or clothing had risen in value to an exorbitant extent. The epidemic was universal.

I will instruct the collector at San ',Francisca to receive 'gold dust in payment of duties at- the custom- house, with-Abe priyilege.reserved to the payer . of redeeming one-half by a payment to the collector in gold or ailveronin, any time within ninettdays; and' the other half by alike payment, any time .within one hundred •and eighty days. This, however; is to be a mere temporary arrangement, owing to the pre sent scarcity of, coin•in the country. - It would give me pleasure to comply lolly with the wishes' elpressed .. by the public meeting held at San Francisco on the, night: of the 21st instant, :by making, the ,whole redeemable in one hundred and eighty days; but it would have the effeot of entirely cutting': off the receipt of . any available .

The following are further extracts from the Ame rican papers brought by the Cambria : LATI VILOI.I tbe. arrival this morn ing of the schooner Desdemona, Captain Stevens, from Kingston, Jamaica, 10th instant, we have files of the Morning Journal, says the New Orleans Mercury of the 23d ult. The Journal.says:—" * We understand from letters received here on Friday last, from the Main, that the Dominicans, have co nsented to receive under their flag the limited number of, 300 families of the Hay tien refugees now in Jamaica, and elsewhere. The news, as was to be expected, was received by these unhappy people with unmingled joy. It also men tioned that Souloque was making secret preparations to march on the Dominican& at an early day, but this is considered by all parties to be an abortive attempt: The Journal, also, in noticing the sugar and mo lasses crops of Louisiana, argues from the yearly increase of sugar in our state, that we will soon begin to export large quantities, and will compete with the West Indies in European markets. The Journal considers from this that planters in the islands should have hereafter a greater regard for the production of articles for home consumption, and be less depen dent upon other countries for food. It estimates the average cost of molasses in New Orleans at 15 cents per gallon, and says, " a question arises whether it might not be imported into this island for distillation with advantage." There is much sickness in Kingston, a large num ber of persons being down with the fever and ague. Many deaths have occurred from the former—amongst them is that of Captain Abraham De Pass, master pilot of the port, who died on the 6th instant. ST. VINCENT.—An attempt made in this island to reduce wages has created some little excitement, and the refusal of the labourers to submit immediately to the reduction caused alarm. Some had cheerfully submitted to the reduction ; others refused, aid, in cited by evil-minded men, had kicked up some dis turbances. Several of the ringleaders had been ar rested and committed to gaol. The weather was highly favourable at last accounts, which are to the ith October, but the labourers on many estates still refused to work. Gni:usu.—The last accounts from this quarter represent that the weather was beautifully fine, and the appearance of the cultivation in some places was very pleasing ; but that in some districts the la bourers were not working, or doing so but very in. differently. A tiger shark, measuring ten and a half feet in length, and two feet in circumference, had been caught near the shore of Lindo's Town. It had ten rows of teeth; its jaws, when opened, would receive without difficulty a person of good size. HAIH.—The Cassandra has arrived here from Port-au-Prince, with dates to the 15th ult. ; also the brig Hayti, bringing advices to the 18th. Captain Morse, of the Cassandra, says that the expedition against the southern part of the island, talked of and in course of preparation, will not, it is thought, be consummated during the lifetime of the present Pre sident of the Republic. LATBR YROIL MARACALIBO.—PHILADALIqUA, 3.—By the arrival of the barque Irma, dates to the 13th ult. have been received. Monagas still held pos session of the city, which is surrounded by the forces of General Paez, 1,500 strong, under the command of General An drade. The capitulation of the city was looked for daily, as the most influential citizens favOur the cause of Paez, who on his part is confident hd, will soon again re-establish the constitution of 1830. _ _ :ANOTHER STRAIMIOAT ACCIDENT.-ST. Louis, Nov. 24.—The steamers Josiah Lawrence and Gon iolier came into collision on Wednesday afternoon, fifty milei below here; sinking the Gondolier in six feet water.

The priesthood are said to be associated with agents of Santa Anna iu furthering the scheme. IMPORTAHT 71055 QHIO....•COLIMBAJS, OHIO, Dec. 6.—On the meeting of the Legislature yesterday there Was great confusion and excitement. Both the Senate and Row were duly organized. There were six balloting' in the Senate for Speaker. Mr. Bearer, free soil Whig, obtained 18 votes ; Mr. Ewing, De mocrat, 17 ; blank, 1. In the House of Representa tives the Democrats took, possession at eight o'clock, two hours before the time of meeting, and•were sworn in by Judge Reed. At ten o'clock the Whigs were sworn in by Judge Avery. All attempts to com promise failed, and the Democrats retained possession of the hall this morning. FIRE IN TORONTO, C A NADA.---Abollt ODS o'elock on Wednesday morning the alarm of fire was given, and the fire, which proved very destructive, broke out in the premises on the north side of King-street, forming part of the block of brick buildings opposite the cathedral, known as the City-build ings. The premises which were burned were those occupied by Mr. Webb, and Campbell and Hunter, on King-street, and the store adjoining on the corner of King and Church-streets, in the occu pation of Mr. W. Hall, dry goods merchant—the upper portion of that building being occupied as lawyers' officers, and by Thomas Bell, land agent, and John Maulson, accountant and agent. Adjoin -1 ins Mr. Hall's store, on Church-street, were two Mr. , ount, Mr. Cole, Mr. Millar, _John Bell saved the greater part of hi a books and pa pers, he was obliged to give up the at tempt before saving the whole, in consequence , of the explolion of a canister of gunpowder. The other gentlemen were unable to save their books and papers, and the loss will fall heavily, not on themselves alone, but on those whose papers were in their passes: ion for the transaction of business—such as bills, pates, deeds of property, ge: Mr. MaulsOn's papers were saved. Mr. Small, as solicitor for King's College, .had important papers belonging to that corporation in his custody, which went with-the rest. There Was riot much saved from Mr. Webb's, and but a small portion from. Me4rs. , Camphell and Hunter's. We notice, with much •regret, that one of the firemen, William Thornton, was severely hurt by_theltilling of a large stone from one of the buildings, which fractured his skull. Another of the firemen was also severely hurt by a brick falling on his shoulder. Tbe destruction of property on this occasion was large, and to a great extent covered by insurance. NAVY YARD AT NEW OELEA.NB.—We understand that the United States Government has purchased a lot of ground on the other side of the river, about half a mile below the foundry at Algeirs, for a Navy Yard. The lot has four hundred feet front on the river, contains :ten superficial acres, and cost 15,000 dolls. We are glad. to learn that a Navy Yard is to be established at this point—in the heart of the live oak region, within a day or two of the best white oak and pine forests, easily supplied with iron from Mis iouri or Pennsylvania, copper. from the upper Misis sippi, and cordage,anri Canvas,..if need be, from Ken tuek7 and Ohio--within 12 hours of the open sea, and.atife from any hostile attack, no place could have been selecteil which would be better adapted to a large Navy Yard than the vicinity of this city.— [ New Orleans Crescent, Nov. 20.

The following circular relates to the new regu lation prohibiting the sale of spirits in barrack canteens : " Horse Guards, Sept. 27. " Sir,—l hare the honour to express the Commander in-Chief's desire that you report to rue, for his Grace's information, the. result of your observation of the effects of the regulation which prohibits the sale of spirits in regimental canteens. You will be pleased to state dis tinctly your opinion as to the effects (prejudicially or otherwise) of that measure upon the habits and disposi tions of the men, and, above all, upon their general health; on which last-mentioned point you will, of course. obtain the opinion of the medical officer of the regiment under your command. (Signed) "J. MACDONALD, Adjutant-General. "To the Officer commanding --- Regiment." Answers to the foregoing circular have been for warded to head-quarters. The following opinion comes from one of the most aristocratic commanders of a highly distinguished regiment My opinion is, that no real benefit, either as regards health or habits of the soldiers, has been gained by pro hibiting the sale of spirits in regimental canteens; and I arts further of opinion that it tends to induce the soldiers to resort to the public-houses in the neighbourhood where spirits are sold, and the men are thus thrown more into the society of the civilians. " Crimes resulting from drunkenness have not de creased since the introduction of the new system, and the medical officer has found no difference in the health of the men." MORTALITY IN THE ARMIES OF EUROPE AND THE UNITED STATES.—In a force of 105,000 men, the Prussian army has lost from 1821 to 1830, annually 11.7 in a thousand. This is the lowest rate of mortality in the armies of Europe. This army, however, is com posed of young men, who are only engaged three years in active service, and they suffer little by being removed from place to place. The mortality of the civil popula tion of Berlin, from 20 to 25 years of age, is ten in 1,000. The British army counts 15 deaths in 1,000 men in the United Kingdom ; 57 in the troops which serve abroad, making an average of 37 in 1,000 of all the forces. In the French army, numbering 387,687 men, the mortality is 34.2 per 1,000; and, if the officiers were deducted 46.5. The greatest number of deaths has taken place in Algeria. The Russian forces lose 50 men in 1,000; and, if we are to believe M. Dennis, the mortality rises to 160 and 180 in the army of the Caucasus. It is not only in European armies that the mortality is so great; in the United States of North America, in a force of 5,515 men, it has been computed, that from 1829 t 0 ,1838, there were 44 deaths in 1,000. It is necessary, however, to remark, that the mortality has not been more than 18 per 1,000 in the Northern States, while in the Southern it has reached 49. It has been observed that the rate of deaths has not been the same in different kinds of troops. Thus, in Prussia the infantry reckons 1219; the cavalry, 9; the artillery, 10 per 1,000. In the British army, from 1830 to 1836, the dragoons lost an nually 14; the infantry, 26.6 per 1,000. The total loss for seven years was 41.6 for the dragoons, 31.5 for the horse-guards, 58 for the foot-guards. Marozzo reports, that from 1778 to 1792, the Piedmontese forces expe rienced a mortality of 18 in 1,000 of cavalry, and 34 per 1,000 of infantry. —Medical Times, Dec. 23. CHARGE of FELONY AGAINST AN ATToRNET.— Atl the New Bailey, Manchester, on Friday, Mr. Wil liam Ambler, an attorney, and Peter M'Lean, a bailiff's assistant, wore charged with fe:ony. Mr. Gibson, the town clerk, said that a man, named Robert Birch, re siding at Pendleton, and who was in embarrassed cir cumstances, had applied to Anibler for advice, and the course adopted with reference to him was one which the investigation of the case would show to be of the most serious character he had ever. known. Birch, who was thus in difficulties, unfortunately ap plied to a person named Hopwood, who obtained busi ness for attorneys, who at that time was acting as a clerk for Ambler, and he recommended Mr. Ambler to : him. Birch engaged Ambler to defend him in some proceedings against him in the county court. In accordance with advice given by Mr. Ambler, Birch made an' assignment of his property to Mr. P. Newton for the benefit of his creditors; but, after Newton had taken possession, a quantity of the goods were taken from Birch's house, carried into Manchester, and there sold, by Mr. Ambler's direction, under a pretended claim of a bill for preparing the deed of assignment. Goods to the value of about 1001. had been sacrificed in that manner. If these facts ware proved, he should deem it necessary to ask for such punish ment as would tend to check any such practice by others. Mt. Gibson then inquired if there was a person in court named Joseph Hopwood. Ambler said he was not near him ; but Inspector Bullo c k a pp re h en d ed him at the door, and he was placed in the dock. Witness having been heard in 'Lippert. of Mr. Gibson's statement, Mr. Trisffard said there was no proof that Hopwood had taken any part in the affair, and therefore he must be discharged. M'Lean appeared to have acted under the authority of Mr. Ambler, and probably was not aware helwas acting illegally. He should, however remand the case, and allow M'L ean and Ambler to find bail for their appearance. SINGULAR OCCURRINCE.--On Monday morning as the mail train upon the Newcastle and Berwick Railway wag proceeding north, and when near to Cramlington station,`* party of horned owls, being disturbed in their rodstty the noise, made a furious attack upon the engine and those in charge of it. The fireman, William Gilbert, while seated in a comfortable position in the flying loco motive, was furiously assailed, and before be `could dis coier the character of his foe was seriously pecked in the face, and had one of his teeth forced out of its place. Such an assault at such a place, and during the dark, was rather alarming, especially considering the extra ordinary visage of the assailants, when seen only by the glare of a fire. -One of the - birds was captured, and a sturdy fellow he is. The. engine-driver, Edward Col lins, is preserving him as. a curiosity.—Berwieh Ad vertiser.

The ordinary routine business being gone through, it was announced that Mi.. Disraeli, M.P., had consented to preside at the seventh anniversary festival, to be held in the ensuing spring. WEST RIDING ELECTION.—An amusing scene oc curred at the Pontefract polling booth during the elec tion. A farmer went to give his vote, and was asked whom he voted for ? He replied, " Mr. Bland." He was told there was no candidate of that name, and the question was repeated, " Who do you vote for ?" " Why," said he " Mr. Bland, my landlord. He asked me for my vote, and I shall give him it." Of course it was recorded. About half an hour afterwards, Mr. Bland went to give his vote, when Dr. Brook, magistrate, who was .acting on Sir Culling's behalf, said, " Mr. Bland, I must put the question or oath to you, if I don't to another to-day. The Doctor then told Mr. Bland that he, being a candidate, was not entitled to vote. Mr. Bland denied that be as a candidate, but when told there had been a vote'recorded for him, and that, there fore this own vote could not -be taken, he left the *out quail discomfited.—Leeds Mercury.
