OLDHAM, FRIDAY, DEC. 14.—The election for this borough concluded to-day. . - at ten o'clock, in consequence of Messrs. Bright, Burge, and Stephen having resigned the .contest early in tfie morning. Mr. `Fielden and Mr. Cobbett were declared duly elected by the returning officers'' deputy, and the return to the sheriff' was niade-dut on the hustings at eleven o'clock, in the presence of a considerable body of people,• who hailed the successful candidates with loud cheers, and afterwards paraded the town with flags and music.-The numbers at the close of the poll Were— Fielden 681 'Burge . -105 Cobbett 6.55 Stephen - 3 Bright 163 Box.Torr.—Tuesday, morning being fixed for th e d a y o f nomi ittation; the resOective , candidates - and their friends iepaired to the huStings ereeted at the town's` office. Mr. Thomas' 'rouge and Mr.' Brandreth proposed and seconded John'Ashton Yates, Esq. , The proposer and seconder of Col. Torrens were Mr.. James Crompton and Mr. ',Thomas Cullen. Mr. Peter Roth, well and Mr. Stephen Blair nominated Mr. Bolling, and the same.office was performed - for' Mr:' Eagle by; Mr. Myerscough and Mr. Naisby. The show of hands being decidedly in favour of Mr. Eagle and Mr. Ashton-. Yates,„a poll was demanded by : Col. Torrens and - Mr:Bolling. The barriers which were!erect 'ed 'at the different polling-bootns. were broken down on Morning, by a crowd of pdrstins, principallyfroin the coun try. The proceedings of the election were sußended and a detachment of the - 15th Hussars from Manchester were sent for. Peace . was speedily restored. It was soon found"that Colonel Torrens wou,d. speedily be at the head of the poll, in conse iquence of which .a .haid‘race was run..between-M - r. Bolling and Mr. Yates; 'and at thnclose cl the-poll. au Wednesday night Mr. lßolling was 53 behind; but his friends rallied..soinanfully that 'onilinrsday he was only two . behind. In. consequence of the obstrUction which took place on Thurday, thepoll was re-opened on Friday,- and about- one o'clock it wa s cl ose d: Th e f o ll ow i ng is the result:—'Torrens; 627; Bolling, 502; Yates, 484; Eagle, 106; being a •majority of 125 'for Colcmel Torrens, ,thad 18 for Mr. Bolling. Nothing could exceed the enthusiasm which has been displayed in the town at this signal triumph of Christianity ,over Unitarianism. Some Of 'the most active p ar ti zans o f M r . .IBolling were' found in the-ranks. of the Independents and Me thodists. It' appears that Some ruffian . fiungra stone at Colonel Torrens on. Thursday afternoon; andinjured him so much that he was unable to address the people - at •the. , _close of the poll. The other candidates'returned thanks for the exe r ti ons ma d e in their behalf. Mr. Bolling was loudly . cheered on ascending . the 'hustings. Mr. Eagle protested a gainst the introduction of the military, as destructive. of. th'e freedom of election.—Man , cheater Courier... I!_IA.NCIIESTER BLEGTIrM. From the Manchester Courier.. The election- for this borough - has terminated in the. return of Mr. Mark Philips and Mr.:Potilett Thomson. Thatthis. result has disappointed our expectations,• we freely admit.. Knowing that Mr. Hope possessed, more than any other candidate, the support of the most respectable inhabitants of Manchester, we might, from this circumstance alone, have confidently antici pated his return. But we had other, and what we considered more certain assurances of success. .We knew that the , num ber, of promised vot es cons id era bl y ex C ee d e d t wo t h ousan d ; a number which, as a re f erence t o tile re t urn w ill show, was suffi ;cient to place hi m secon d on the poll. Why the persons who ! gave these pledges failed to fulfil them, we have yet to. learn ; ':but to their absence,- we - believe; - the-defeat of Mr. Hope is in no small degree to be attributed. • We are unwilling to say any thing calculated, to,ereate or to ' , continue unkindly feelings between the friends of_ the different ;candidates; but we think it,due. to .Mr.. Hope to state, that the "circurnstance of his having opposed the reform bill, was made charge against him in some. quarters; his being a firm and `uncompromising friend, to the_ established religion, made him ;odious to the movement partv.; and his refusal to..pledge him self to support the immecticite abolition of slavery, lost him the support of all Whom the Anti-Slavery SoCiety could influence. AV hen, therefore, it is considered that he. has had to contend not Only against misrepresentation_ and calumny, but also against :principles and prejudices, there is, perhaps, more reason .to be 'surprised at'the 'support which he has received, than that he should be'defeated. .Mr. * Mark Philips recommended -himself the electors on the ground, that he is an advocate for the ballot,_ triennial parliaments, and the immediate abolition of - slavery.' Mr.' Thomson was reconimended by his friends on precisely the- sande 'principles; and' Mr.. Heywood, in nominat 'mg 'him, declared that he was the same i n power and out of ; it. 'We doubt whether his consistency will be found quite so p,er-,. 4 ,fect ; at all'eients, we doubt whether he will confirmthe p c ledges ;given in his name on the . subject of negro Slavery.. The crowded state of our columns forbids .our offering many remarks on what fell from the candidates on the day of noun. nation ; but we cannot pass over an obgerVation which fell froin Mr. Mark Philips in the course•of his speech. Speaking of his canvass, he said,—" I was anxious to, present myself publicly ,before you, in open meetings, in order to-submit my principles to the closest .scrutiny-4 disdained to hawk myseltabout from door to dber2.' ' This evidently was intended to be a slap. at Mr. Hope; bUt, eventif the principle had been- a 'sound one, it would have been in better tasta.-to, have_ avoided personal allusions,• where none were provoked.. But we deny : . that this mode of. CanyaSsing was that which was likely to bring his principles to. the closest scrutiny: Mr. Philips may delight in 'such exhibi itions as that at the Gaping Goose, where his questioners are men, for the-most part, of his own way of thinking; but we tell that. he dare not submit himself to the more rigorous and searching inquiries of ineirwho are able to 'detect and to expose his ignorance.. It is due to Mr. Cobbett to state s : that whatever-may be said of his principles, he spoke in perfect good burnout, and was aux ions that every one else should have a fair hearing.. It is due to his party to state,' thatthroughout the election their conduct was orderly and peaceable in the highest degree. Mr Loyd 1 , was, heard with impatience_; and to the disgrace of the Philip s 'and Thoraeon,party, Mr.. Hope was scarcely permitted to speak at all. It was evident that an opposition, to -him_ had been re gularly organized by these people. Well; th ey h ave - tr i ump h e d over him this time ; but he will yet be member for Manchester' iii spite of them. It now only remains for us to' congratulate our fellow-towns menon the tranquillity which has prevailed during this contest; for we. can searcelyconsiderthe few disorders which took place Yesterday, as breaches of, the peace.. Whether this absence of riot is attributable...it> the excelietit arrangements of the muni cipal officers; dr; which we are inclinedrte think was the case, to the good sense of the people, it is a ciremnstance which can not but be regarded as an auspicious commencement of the tleetlimeering . proCeedings of - Manchester. TRE,STON ELECTION-RIOT.

It appears that the - Huntites and - Stanleyites first enentinterddieach Other, and after a tough skirmish, the latter were. entirely routed with the loss of all their colours. Tlie flight is described to hav?..he.en courolate; but it so hap-. .pened,-Fhat'at the very nick'o - f time up came the Blues. With thi' body% kinetion was' formed with the flying host, ancla bold rally being- made, the Huntites- were defeated in their turn; and - flie cbtours, Were retaken, and, as it is said, the Huntites lost `two of theiFS.. Ei - eviously the liuntites were considered bteitteceis. gave ' fhb other two parties, who ap. , peered to.-make.- conimon cause froin.that time,. confidence in their own: prowess?:' On Wednesday, nothing occurred in the way of collision, till a out ofeWn;at sti luck litab,lllr. hunt and" Captain Forbes, as well as Mr. Stanley, were at. the Corn. Exchange booth. The popular candidates were, as usual, attended by a considerable crowd of persons, so that there was a zonsiderable influx within. the booth,.and around the door the crowd of one kind or ano ther was rather dense. 'We only observed one or two of the Huntite colours in waiting. About eleven, along came the Blues from the direction of Friargate, and they had no sooner mingled with the mass than a regular battle took place. The. Blues' were, of course,' inferior in numbers, but they were all more or less armed with staves, bludgeons, pieces of iron, and other formidable` weapons of various kinds, and after a sharp conflict the Huntites were completely beaten off. Some broken heads was the result, but nothinc , serious. This second victory achieved, the'Blues continued their course, with vociferations of triumph, .up Lune-street, down Fishergate, and around the town again by the back streets. A t noon, or thereabouts, they reached the neighbourhood of the Corn Exchange again, but they met with no opposition. Whilst here the Stanleyites came up with their party; the two united their forces and.kept toge ther afterwards--the Blues, however, invariably taking the lead. ,Thus combined, the two parties became irresistible. They heat up in all directions carrying every thing before them. Soon after noon ,they reached the Court-house booth, where it ap pears that the Huntites had gained possession, and by one means or another—all perfectly fair at elections—kept their adversa ries back. However, when the combined forces came up, the tables were promptly.turned. The assailants rushed on with their bludgeons, and soon cleared a passage, but not without a sharp resistance from the Huntites, who, it is right to say, had not the advantage of hard weapons like the others. In this af fray, one man received a dreadful cut across the head, and the poor fellow was taken to the County Arms adjacent, in what his medical attendant for some time considered a dying state, but we are most happy to say that the wound proved to be superfi cial, and that the man is now, well again.. A good deal of skir mishing took place in front of the. Court-house, and desperate blows were exchanged, but, unaccountably as it always appears to us on such occasions, without material "Injury to any body. The polling went' on pretty smoothly, and at four, according to the provisions. of the reform act, closed. The, only effort of, violence that we heard of, was an; attempt made to steal the 'poll-book from one of the booths. It is said the book. was po sitively taken away, but we are not aware that such is the fact. As might have been expected, the' Huntites were exceedingly exasperated at the result of the day's polling, and it was natu rally believed that they would take early vengeance, not only on that account, but for the untoward-events of the day. The belief was correctly. founded ; for about half-past four, and just as the day was disappearing, a heavy crowd rushed into Church street from the direction_ of Chadwick's Orchard, and sweeping )round the. Bull,.discharged into the windows of that inn a tre mendous volley of stones, which demolished every pane of glass on the second floor, and on the left of_ the door : that being the part of the house where M r . St an l ey h a d hith er t o appeared. Thence the mass proceeded down through Church street, and Inv into Water-stmet, where the rioters utterly destroyed the windows of the Black Swan, a Stanley house, and did consider able damage to the windows of Mr. Swainson's factory adjoin ing. In due time, the party returned with increased numbers, yelling terrifically as they . went, and, in fact, completely sweep mg the streets. All peaceable people fled interror, and as the pitchy. darkness had set in, the most fearful consequences were apprehended.. Returning past the Bull, a second volley o f stones finished what had been left undone.; but it was for another place the rioters seemed to have reserved their strength... Rush ing on from the Bull, they turned round by the Guildhall into Cheapside, and the next moment were in full force before the Castle Inn; 'Mr. Fleetwood's head quarters. Greatly as the Black Swan and Bull suffered, it was nothing compared with the ruin effected at the Castle. Above, on the first floor,,every .pane was dashed in, and in some of the windows the frames went also. The shutters on the ground floor. were closed, but a.des perate effort was made to force an.entrance.into the. house, and the shutters.were partly destroyed in the attempt. Mr. Fleet :wood's friends were taking some refreshment when the first ,crash was made, and it was fully. expected that the house would. be entered and sacked, 'but the undaunted demeanor and pow erful exertions of the body guard within happily prevented that. By some means amessenger was despatched to the mayor, and depositions were, taken.. Meanwhile, the Huntites, repulsed, )f ell into order of procession, and continued their march down Friargate, smashing a little here and there as they went, but to a trifling extent. Nothing more was seen of them, and p,erfect. stillness prevailed. About six, the mayor, accompanied by the bailiffs, proceeded to the Market-pla ce a n d there read the riot act, after which a messenger was dispatched to Chorley for the military. Heavy detachments of special constables kept pa trolling the town, and every thing continued perfectly quiet., It was imagined, however, that a second attack upon the win dows of the' obnoxious would be made before the military could arrive; but that did not happen. About eleven o'clock a troop ,of the Ist Dragoon-Guards, under .Captain Martin, and two 'companies ofthe 18th.(Royal Irish) Foot, the whole under the command. of Captain.Moore,of the IBth, arrived from Chorley, which place they, left about half-past eight. The mayor and re corder were in attendance at the Red. Lion to receive the mili tary, and billets were provided. __Before retiring for tip night, however, the dragoons made a tour through the. town in. order' to apprise the inhabitants of their arrival. A serjeants' guard, was stationed at the lock-up, and by midnight all was still. The polling was resumed on' Thursday morning at eight &clock, but rt , was soon fonnd, that the Huntites had no hope. whatever of.makiug, up the. lost way, and every thing went on without interruption in the booths for the remainder of the day. There was, however, a considerable influx of country people, and towards afternoon a great deal. of agitation prevailed. ; Somewhere about two o'clock a., serious row took place at the. George, a Huntite public-house, in Friargate. As well as we, can get at the truth, it seems that one of the Blue party got into a broil in this house, , and was roughly treated by a party of fellows from Padiham.. This reached the cars of his friends at the Castle, the result was, that the George was attacked, tooth and nail; they smashed all the windows, entered the house, and belaboured their adversaries with right good will. News was despatched to-the,authorities, and a detachment of the 18th being called out, p,eace was. restored. In. a short . s time,_ however,, a .very 4argp, assemblage took place in Chad "wick's Orchard, which became rather tumultuous, and we be lieve Mr. Hunt, (who was at his inn, the Blackamoor's-head,) "the man of the mob," felt himself so much alarmed,, that he despatched a, messenger for the Mayor, who -immediately at tended, and read the riot act. A. very short time, after the mob 'dispersed. These occurrences brought on dusk, about which, time there appeared strong symptoms of a general row, and that: .dragoons were ordered to-hold themselves in readiness; but after the Blues. (followed by the. Stanley men as, before, for although the latter were pe rm itt e d t o go in company, it was made a point of honour by the former to keep them always in the rear;) had made the: final tour of the town, all excitement died- away,. and the. day passed- off in peace.. Capt. Forbes, early in the afternoon, announced his intention, of retiring from the contest, and took his departure in a post chaise. Mr. Hunt remained. The state of the poll, as- issued from.. Mr.. Fleetwood's committee-room, was as follows : -Fleetwood Stanley Hunt 2057 Forbes Crompton_ It was expected that tha. return would be.made'on Friday; but, in consequence of the voters -being interrupted at one Of the poll-booths, the:poll was closed on the first day, and conse quently there was some lost time. to be made up. To effect this; it was 'necessary to open the bbOth,again to-day, and as 'the act requires that the rotes should not be counted till the :day after the final cl,ose, the announcement of the.return postpenetl. In anticipation of the ,`; - riding," Mr. Fleetwood's friends' were seen about the streets in great numbers decorated witli blue- favours;-,and the •committee were desirous that the :ceremony or something.in—lien. of it should taka.place ;. but, notwithstanding the most prussing,eutreaties, the..May9r per sisted in requesting that nothing, of .the... kind ,mi ( 4 4, happen. Negotiations were on foot pretty nearly, all the forenoon on this snit tt; and during 'all the time the public were kept in a state of suspense. About half-past eleven o'clock a notice.freiri Mr. Fleetwood appeared;tstatingthat.he had received a coin: munication from the Mayor, J olitvAddisoa, Esq.- informing him. of the cause of the _delay i n m aking the;officialstateruent of the number of the.votes, and suggesting to him, as it was so notorious that he had been elected, to adopt the course which. was-followed hr - Londou of making his speech of thanks to the' electors,..without waiting.for what is a.moromatter of form, and particularly, begging that the ceremony of: chairing may be omitted, as had been, done in Lancaster.; this seeming. to los 'Worship the most likely means of allaying the excitement Which- -prevai:ed.4n the town, and avoiding the necessity of. either again reading .the Riot Act,..as:hs.. was compelled-to do_ on the day before, or having to call out -the military force. `Mr. Fleetwood "felt it his duty to .comply with that. recom 'Men-dation ;" and a very large body' of his friends having 4s.sernbled in and about the , Castle Inn s about-half-pa s t twelve o'clock ; he. proceeded to address them. in a brief but:warm ex,. pression of his thanks, and then refired.
