FOREIGN e _®_o ,LIGENCE, INTE FRANCE (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. A telegraphic despatch, to-day, from Trieste, announces, on authority of Constantinople letters 'to the 26th, that Admiral Lyons had formally de vlared to the Russian Minister, M. de Bouteneiff, that the English fleet would remain in the Black Sea until the accomplishment of the Treaty of Paris. The. same despatch says, that Russia had exempted Persia from the payment of the portion of the indemnity, remaining duo upon the war of Reports have, for some days past, been current that the German Credit Mobilicr is to be dissolved, but they do not appear thus far to rest on any very solid foundation. The festivities of the Emperor and Empress at Compiegne continue to be carried on upon the grandest possible scale ; but the newspapers here Say scarcely anything at all about them. The fact is, that the Emperor does not wish them to be talked about, lest they should seem a too flagrant contrast to the distress of the population, and `aggravate the existing political discontent. truden the system of government which now 'dorm gates in France, it is not easy to ascertain the real state of the country, as the newspapers are 'prohibited from speaking on topics disagreeable to the Government. But I hear, on all sides, that discontent is increasing amongst the peasantry, and that, as customary, it manifests itself by an usual number of cases of arson, highway rob , . ' b el'Y, murder, and other henious crimes. According to a letter from Berne, the English Government has proposed to Switzerland to undertake, in conjunction with France, to take the initiative in arranging the Neufchatel affair, in such a manner as not to wound the amour propre either of Prusf,ia or Switzerland. We are tkeeatened with a hubbub in the Grand 'Duchy o f :Luxembourg. part of the possessions of the King of, Holland. This Duchy forms part of the Ger. nal - A° confederation, and the King and his advisers h?-ve proposed modificationsin the constitution, cal culated to make it of a more Germanic, that is to say, a less liberal character. But in an address to his Majesty, the Chamber of Representatives has pro tested against any such measure. Prince Henry of the Netherlands, the King's representative in the Duchy, has returned a very angry reply to the Addresses, and accussed the Chamber of being wanting in intelligence, to suppose that the King could desire to diminish the country's liberties. The Chamber has retorted by a formal vote of want of confidence in the Ministers. In this posi tion the matter rests. AMERICAN AFFAIRS (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) NEW YORK, OcT. 21, 1856. The public mind is at this moment entirely in terested in the result of the recent State Elections i ll Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana. you will perhaps understand the case better if I 'explain. On the 14th day of October, or rather on the third Tuesday of October, three great states of t he Union hold their State Elections, at which all their local state officers are elected. This election, in Presidential election years, is held just three Weeks before the great National contest, and is W atched with the most intense anxiety by all poli ticians as an indication of the final election. P ennsylvania is a great state, and chosen 27 Presi dential electors; Ohio is another great common wealth, whil e I n di ana i s muc h smaller than either. 44 the present election Pennsylvsnia has been regardedaustly as the b a ttl e - groun d of the political battle; if she goes for Fremont, he will doubtless .:15e elected, and if she casts her vote for her favourite son," James Buchanan, he will doubt less occupy the Presidential chair during the next But thereis one curious feature respecting the P enns ylvania elections. H ere t o f ore, whenever th ere has b een a contest between slavery -extension And l slavery-prohibiti on , th e enemies of extension ha ve invariably gained f rom t h e local election to the Presid en ti a l, s h ow i ng that there are always ,; (1811 9 Democrats wh o vo t e f or l ocal State officers, :et who, nevertheless, vote for the presidential candidate 1 holding the best anti slavery views.

Y et t h e nan men now seem to have t r i um ph e d b y f ew thousands. There are in the State s evera l i h° usands of Quakers, who do not vote HA ordinary election, but who will vote for threlnont. There is hope yet among the friends of 4,e antislavery candidate, but in my opinion his mttrlces are exceedingly small. The, election in the State of Ohio, has resulted 3 „ t an triumph of the Fremont party by, at least, ,ov,00() of a majority. This is a very decisive vote tifar as that s t a t e i s concerne d .

The great contestforlVlunicipal honours took place on Satur day. All eyes were centered upon Lime-street, Evcrton, and Kirkdale Wards, but, contrary to general expectation, a show of opposition was offered in St. Anne's and Rodney-street Wards. Although sympathising with the feelings and wishes of the Liberal Electors of these Wards, and earnestly desiring a change for the better in their Municipal Representation, we would have been better pleased to see the opposition manifested in a more open and candid manner—in a way that would not allow opponents to attribute dishonour- We proceed to notice the main features of Jeffery Lloyd Eleven Twe've o'clock. o'c'ock. —.183 270—, ...130 220—, Jeffery Lloyd questions wbieli vill have THE NORTHERN Jeffery by one o'clock, notwithstanding the obstruction already alluded to.

At half past one the utmost enthusiasm prevailed, for the election was virtually won, and Liberalism had gained an accession of strength in Lime-street, that no " Terrorism" can ever shake again. Mr. Jeffery's friends had an orbnibus, drawn by four splendid grey horses, and on the vehicle was Stubbs' celebrated band, decorated with gay ribbons, festoons, flowers, and the like. This attracted great attention, and a large concourse of persons followed the cortege through town—the band playing lively and appropriate airs during the day. Immediately after the state of the poll had been declared an immense concourse of people assembled in front of Mr. Jeffery's committee rooms, Victoria Hotel, St. John's -lane. The crowd exceeded anything of the kind we have seen in Liverpool, quite filling up the great open space in Lime street, and thronging the entrances, steps, and portico of St. George's Hall. When Mr. Jeffery made his appear ance, accompanied by Mr. Haigh, and others of his sup porters, he was received with a perfect storm of cheering, which was several times renewed. h.. balcony in front of the hotel with his friends, signal for another equally enthusiastic burst. Mr. Haigh, chairman of Mr. Jeffery's committee, said Gentlemen, it is my happiness to congratulate you upon the successful issue of this great contest. (Cheers.) It has been one of no ordinary charaeter. The town Of LiverNol has not seen such a one for many years. Gen. tlemen, this contest may be termed a pitched battle for the whole town. (Cheers). I have now the happiness to introduce to you the man who has beaten in the fight. (Enthusiastic cheers). Gentlemen, it has never been my practice to boast beforehand. The same cannot be said of our opponents. They have endeavoured by all means to frighten us into defeat, but we wore too strong for them. I should think we have given such a beating to them as they will not soon forget. not detain this large company any longer, but will introduce to you our successful candidate, - now our repre sentative, Mr. J R. Jeffery. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Jeffery then came forward, and was received with renewed and vehement cheering. He said—Brother Electors and fellow-townsmen, at your solicitation I have placed myself as a candidate for your sufferages, to repre sent you in the Town Council, as one of the members for Lime-street Ward. (Cheers.) By your efforts, and by the exercise of your own judgment, you have placed me in the high and honourable position of one of the members of that deliberative assembly. As our chairman has just told you, this has, indeed, been a great fight. (Cheers.) Nay, it has been a town's fight. (Loud Cheering.) Gentle men, it has been, in my opinion, far more than that —it may be called a political fight. It has been a municipal fight, but it has been a great moral fight and a moral victory. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I have not the slightest desire to speak disrespectfully or disparagingly of my opponent, but he has exerted himself individually to the utmost of his physical and his intellec. teal power and ability. He has waited upon a very large number of gentlemen. I need not call to your recol lection the carricature of a candidate calling for your vote and interest. Gentlemen, if I were to be such a candidate, I could alter the sentiment, and say, " Give me your vote for my interest," if I called upon you for your suffrages. I have stood before you, gentlemen, many a time. I have stood before you many a time ere this. I have had the privilege of enunciating to you my views upon various subjects. I was content to stand before you upon these views, and to stand or fall by your verdict and your decision. By that verdict, and by that de cision I stand before you to-night as elected for Lime-street Ward. (Great cheering.) You have done me the honour to place me in that high position, without, receiving from me—nay, without asking or seeking in any way of me the slightest pledge as to what I would do in the future. I trust I shall never disappoint you. (Cheers.) The responsibility upon my shoulders becomes greater the greater as you show your confidence in my judgment and in my integrity. Gentlemen, I do not go into the Town Council as a delegate, I go into the council as your representative—(cheers)—and I hope the day will never dawn when you will have to say to me that I have either sacrificed my past history for any personal ambition, or that I have in any degree foifLited the confidence which you have been pleased to place in me to-day. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, there are many great questions which will come before the assembly to which your votes have returned me. There are many Coming on the was the to be thorc Lou brings out the truth, and nighly ventilated, by the aid of the press, you are as well able to judge of the truth a, we who are within the walls. By the wings of the press, therefore, the views, the opinions, the arguments, the conclusions of your representatives become known et your own firesides; and, so far as I am able, I will take my part in those discussions. I- will never flinch from any question— I will never absent myself from the Council Chamber upon a division. Igo there, gentle men, to do the duty which you have imposed upon me to-day, to the best of my power and ability. (Cheers.) And, whatever may be the necessities of that position, I am prepared to encounter them, and I will carry my views for ward conscientiously, and with whatever ability God has given me. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, it is not desir Lble that I should detain you long by addressing you here in this open crowd. (Cries of go on—go on,) The vast assemblage I see before me is an unprecedented spectacle. There never before has been any assembly witnessed here like this, upon any local effort. (Hear, hear.) I say to all my brother tradesmen here, that their interests require itenre sentation in the Council Chamber. So far as lam able, they shall have it, but not their interests exclusively, for let us never forget that it is upon the increase of com merce in the port, that we all live. (Hear, hear.) Let us not forget that all our interests depend in a great measure upon the facilities given to that commerce. Let us then not cavil at straws—let us never swallow camels while we stick at gnats; but let us deal with those great questions as a whole—let us deal with all as one great estate. (Loud Cheers.) Let it not be said, " you do this, and I do that, and he will do the other thing," but let all be regarded as a great whole, one common interest, and let us be united by one com mon band. (Hear, hear, and tremendous cheering.) I thank you most cordially for assembling here to show by your presence that this victory has been achieved by the concurrence of the non-electors as well as by the votes of the electors—(hear, hear)—and while I stand here as the representative directly of the 429 electors, who have done me the honour to vote for me, I nevertheless stand as the representative also of the minority of 361. (Cheers,) If there be any persons present who have exerted them selves most zealously to prevent me occupying this proud position, they will yet find me as accessible to any thing they may require as though they had been my warmest supporters. (Loud Cheers.) Gentlemen, this, as your chairman has told you, has been a great fight. (Hear, hear.) Great excitement has been caused, angry feelings have no doubt been aroused, but I am not aware of one improper expression having passed the lips of any member of our committee. I am not aware that we manifested one angry feeling. (Hear, hear.) I hope, however, that whatever may have passed at this conflict, all will now be forgotten—that we ehall act as citizens of one great commercial town, and that we shall sink again into that feeling of brotherhood which existed in Lime-street Ward before this. (Hear, hear.) Gentlemen, I again thank you most cordially,and bid you a very good night. (Applause.) Loud and general cries were here heard for Mr. Robertson Gladstone, and that gentleman not being pre sent, The Chairman begged to introduce to the meeting Mr. John Finch. Mr. Finch, on coming forward, was enthusiastically cheered. He said : Gentlemen, I heartily congratulate you on this occasion in sending into the Council of Liver pool a man of Mr. Jeffery's qualifications —a man who was so much wanted there—(cheers)—a man who, from his intimate acquaintance with all your wants and wishes, is so well qualified to represent you, and who, from his ability, is able to express himself with eloquence and clearness on all questions. (hear, hear, and cheers.) I can, myself, speak from a long and intimate acquaint ance with Mr. Jeffery, that he is a man to be thoroughly trusted on all occasions —(cheers)—and that he will act honestly and faithfully towards you under every circum stance. I have taken an active part in this election to-day, and I must say that, though it occasioned a considerable amount of excitement in the town, yet I never saw any election pass over with so much good feeling—(hear, hear)—and I do trust that you will now . quietly return to your homes —that if any irri tating remarks have been made, or angry feeling aroused, you will forget them, and that to-morrow morning you will arise in the enjoyment of that goodwill and quietness to which we all are accustomed. (Hear, and cheers.) I again heartily congratulate you on returning so excellent a man as your representative to the Town Council as Mr. Jeffery. (Applause.) . A. C. Stewart, who was loudly called on, also came forward and said—Gentlemen, you have already been con gratulated on one great victory to-day. 1 have now to congratulate you on another. It is my pleasing duty to say that. Mr. Stitt has beaten 'Moses." (Cheers.) Longton was nowhere, and you have now got another good man in the Council. (Cheers.) I hope that you will repeat to-day's work this day twelvemonth, and that you will always send into the council chamber men who have the good of the town at heart, and who are willing and anxious to work for it, so that those who have always stood by your interests there, will be able to carry those measures which they brought forward before but unsuc- ce ;fully. (Hear, 11C;ar.) I congratulate you on behalf of those gentlemen who have always fought for the interests or the people of this town, that you have returned a gen tleman as your representative who is willing and able to help us in the good work. (Cheers) I hope you will now go . home. Rejoic e over your v i c t or y, f org i v e y our ene . mies, and keep a bright look-out for next year. (Applause and laughter.) MR. LLOYD'S COMNfiTTEE .

Mr. Lloyd, on presenting himself to the electors, com TIMES. ---LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. meneed by thanking the ladies, and said, ever since he had been connected with the ward, it had always been his practice to give them precedence. Although he stood before them as the defeated candidate, his heart was as light as at the commencement of the struggle. If the member just elected sh ou l d devote as much of his time to the interests of the Ward as he had done during fit een years, all he could say was that he should be peilectly satisfied, and if, at any time, the electors should require his services be would willingly give them. In future the opposite party must not boast of the purity of elections. His opponent had not despised a good band, he had not despised colours, nor had he despised good breakfasts. On his own side, he said the election had been conducted upon the purest principles, and during the whole contest, neither he nor his committee had been guilty of one dishonourable action. He would tell the electors, however, that they had been under the spy system, for the detectives had been set to watch their movements. Mr. Lloyd here referred to his past connection with the ward, and argued at some length to show that his conduct had been that of an honest representative —one who studied to promote the interests of his constituents ; and he defied his opponents, notwithstanding their base insinuations, to point to a single vote which he had ever given to disprove the accuracy of his statements. With regard to the defeat of that day, he was determined to retire into private life, with the consciousness that he had done his duty. Mr. Alderman Samuel Holme then came forward, and spoke at some length, the only point in his ora tion being the sterling qualities of Mr. Lloyd, his basin ess habits and honesty of purpose. He regretted the decision of that day; but he would meet Mr. Jeffery, as town councillor, in the best spirit, and hoped ha would only approximate the sterling qualities manifested and carried into practice by Mr. Lloyd.

Police—officer Gunning said, that upon receiving the information he proceeded to make enquiries, and on calling at the Grange Hotel, be there found the prisoner with the rope in his possession. Upon asking him how he became possessed of it, he replied, " What the h---1 is that to you ; " upon which the constable (very properly) s aid he must know before he could part with him. The prisoner then said he got it from a person named Flinn, in Field-street. The constable, however, knew better, and lockod up his man. The rope was fully identified, and the prisoner, upon being asked what-he had to say in answer to the charge, replied that he was heavy in drink, and in getting out of the float the rope was hanging to him, so he put. it on his shoulder, and took it with him. It was proved that the prison er h a d b een previously tried at the I Knutsford Sessions, and- he was accordingly committed to undergo the same ordeal once more STEALING COPPER BY A SHIPKEEP;R.—John M'Kewon was charged with stealing a quantity of old and new copper sheathing, bolts and nails, from the ship Baron Renfrew, lying in the Birlidebead docks, the property of Mr. Duncan Gibbs, of Strand street, Liver pool. From the statement of a marine store dealer, named Whellegan, residing in Egerton-street, Birken head, it appeared that the prisoner had, for several days pas', been in the habit of bringing pieces of copper, metal bolts and nails for sale, until his suspicions were excited, and he asked the prisoner if they were honestly come by, to which the prisoner replied—" Yes : I found them among some rubbish, along with a lot more, and it's all right," and gave his name and address, the same as it appeared on the bridewell charge sheet. It, however, appeared that it was all wrong, for police officer Fenna, happening to see him this m orn i ng , t h oug ht h e did not appear in ship-shape, watched, and saw him go into the marine store, and, upon searching him there, found con cealed underneath his slop 9 lbs of copper bolts, besides several pieces of sheathi ng h e h a d laid on the counter. He then locked him up, and upon making enuiries found that they had been stolen from the vessel above named, where the prisoner had been employed as shipkeeper for tho last fort night, at 21s per week. Altogether, what the prisoner had when taken into custody, and what he had sold, weighed between forty and fifty pounds, and a portion of the sheath ing and nails were fully identified by a man named Hughes, a foreman over the ship carpenters employed in repairing the vessel. Prisoner said he found them about the deck of the vessel. Committed for. trial. \YPREHENSION OF AN AUDACIOUS SWINDLER AND FORGER. Some short time since, we noticed the fact that a young Scotchtnan had been swindling several persons in Liverpool, and had then absconded. From that time detective officer Carlisle has been on the look-out I for the offender, and on Thursday received such informa -1 tion as to induce him at once to proceed to Bristol, where he found the person . he was in search of; in the custody of the police, having been charged with obtaining a gold watch in that city, but which case he had succeeded in compromising, when he was handed over to the custody o f C ar li s l e, and brought to Liverpool. On Saturday he was brought before Mr. Mansfield at the Police Court, when he gave his name as Samuel Charles Craig. He was respectably attired. Mr. Clough said the prisoner is brought before your Worship on a charge of hav ing obtained of Mrs. Dickson, late of the Eldon Dining rooms, and now of Canning-place, the sum of £4 Ws by false and fraudulent representations. In this case, 1 shall bring before you evidence to show that, at the latter end of September, the prisoner went to the house of Mr. Buxton, in the Toxteth-park, and there entered into some preliminary arrangements for taking a public house in the Regent-road, kept by Mr. Horrocks. At that interview, the outline of an agreement was drawn up on paper, which paper the prisoner took away with him, under the pretence that he wanted to show it to a person. On that very night he went to Mr. Dickson's, in South John-street, and showed Mrs. Dickson the papers, and there stated to her that he had taken the public house, and was going to pay .eBOO for it, .t'soo of which he was expecting to receive from his father. whom he represented as a person of good fortune and highly respectable. He also represented himself as a cousin to Mr. J. Laird, of Birkenhead, and that he was a partner in the firm of Todd and M‘Gregor, of Glasgow. I have said that the prisoner took away the draft of an agree ment from Mr. Buxton. At that time there was no signature attached to it, but when it was shown to Mrs. Dickson it was signed, "J. Buxton and S. C. Craig." I shall be able to show that that signature is a forgery. Having made some further introductory observations, and stated that he should ask for a remand, in order to procure the attend ance of a witness from Glasgow—he called the following witnesses. airs. Dickson stated that on the 23rd of Sept., the prisoner came to her house, and represented that he was one of the firm of Messrs. M'Gregor and Co., of Glasgow, a cousin to Mr. Laird, of Birkenhead, and that he was about to take Mr. Ilorrocks's public-house—and that Mr. Charles M'lver had become guarantee for his repectability. She had also received a bundle of cards and circulars from the witnesses to the effect that he had done so. Detective Carlisle was next called : He said he apprehended the prisoner at Bristol. - When he told him the charge on which he was taken, he said "I s h a ll plead guilty ; I was co m i ng to Liverpool to give myself up." When he was shown the draft of the agree ment, he said "the name of Buxton is a forgery • I got a butcher to write the name, b ut I do not know ' I know where to find hi m. " Mr. J. Laird him, nor e d d o ; is no relative He said :I do n o t k now the prisoner he was then c u t of mine. It was th en proved that he had got a gold l l watch and Albert chain, of 'the value of £ 11, of Mr. Lumbie, and a suit of clothes from Mr. Rayner, which he had directed to be sent to Mr. Dickson,for which the assistant i n M r. Dickson's shop had paid Ai 5s out of Mr. Dickson's money. Mrs. Buxton proved that the signa ture was not in her late husband's baud writing. The prisoner was remanded for a week Commtatai 3:nretlieritce. LIVERPOOL COTTON DIARKET.—Nov. 1.

Up to Friday it was supposed that he would have been returned without opposition, as no candidate hal then appeared in the &Id to oppose his election, but, on that day Mr. Hugh Moly neux, a Conservative, issued an address to the electors. This morning the poll was accordingly opened, and some little excitement was manifested as to the result. Mr. Alderman Shand presided. At ten o'clock the state of the poll, as issued by Mr. Mellot's committee, was—Mellor, 49. t rido u l , y_ncux, 29. At the close of the poll the numbers stood h Mellor .

'ERtON AND KIRKDALE WARD, The polling commenced in this Ward at IN long before that hour, a large crowd of voters —some hundreds—had assembled at the polling place, Everton crescent. There was much anxiety on the part of the supporters of both candidates to vote as early as possible. There was a good deal of pressure about the polling window, but the best of good humour prevailed. The arrangements made by the police were effective. " Tricks and stratagems" were resorted to by the Tory party, which reduced them very much in the estimation of the respectable portion of their members ; for instance, at a quarter to ten o'clock, the numbers were posted on Longton's committee room, showing that Stitt was in a majority of only three, at that hour, the state of the poll, as reported by tuittee, was Stitt, 88 ; Longton, 61. Majority At four o'clock the declaration was— Vine o'clock, and whereas, Stitt's et for Stitt, 27 Stitt Langton Majority for Stitt The excitement in this Ward was enormous, and Increased every moment from the opening to the close of the contest. The hourly returns were watched and scored with the greatest interest. At one time of the day, Longton was some few votes a-head of Stitt, but as the day wore on, the majority waned into a minority. At two o'clock, the respected votes stood:-420 for Stitt, and 440 for Longton. At three, Stitt had reached 502, and Longton 493, and at a quarter to four the numbers were-564 for Stitt, and 548 for Longton. This state of the poll was received amidst the utmost excitement, Cheer atter cheer rent the air for some minutes, and many gentlemen there and then congratulated Mr. Stitt. When the final state of the poll was announced, however, a degree of excitement hitherto unapproached in intensity, was evinced by the assembly, and for a long time nothing but the joyful shouts of the multitude Could be heard. Mr. Longton was the last voter but one, and, with that degree of selfishness which gen era lly c h aracter i ses the bigoted Tory, he voted for himself. Mr. Stitt declined to vote. We ore most happy to announce to our readers that the Rev. Mr. Macnaught voted for Mr. Stitt. His appearance at the polling booth was the signal for an outburst of enthusiastic applause. As soon as it was announced that the poll was closed, the friends of Mr. Stitt immediately rushed to that gentle man's committee room, ea masse, Mr. Stitt, who was present, was greeted with the most enthusiastic cheering and applause, which was again and again repeated. Silence having been in some degree restored, Mr. Hall, the chairman of the committee, rose - and said —Gentlemen, the poll is closed, and if you will but keep quiet for one moment, I will state to you the result. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, we have kept the state of the poll this day with the greatest accuracy, and I am able to inform you that Mr. Stitt has been duly elected. (Cheers.) The numbers, at the close of the poll, are—Vor Mr Stitt, 575; and for Mr. Longton, 559. (Loud and cnthu_ siastic cheering.) The majority, therefore, for Mr. Stitt is 16. (Tremendous cheering, with three ti mes th ree cheers for Mr. Stitt, which was heartily responded to.) Gentlemen, this has been the most successful contest that has ever taken place in this ward. (Cheers.) The greatest number of votes ever polled at any previous election was 439, so that we have polled 144 votes more for Mr. Stitt than was ever recorded at any election. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, this is most gratifying to me, considering the responsible position which I have filled at this election—the chairman of the committee. (Cheers and uproar from some of Mr. Longton's friends, one of whom held up a paper showing that Mr. Longton was in the majority.) Gentlemen, there is a person in this crowd, a friend of Mr. Longton's, holding up a paper, I suppose to inform me that we have not kept our poll correctly. (Laughter and cheers.) Gentlemen, I ran assure you that the statement I have given you is correct—(ehcers)--and that the one he is now exhibiting is incorrect. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, you will now have the pleasure of hearing your representative address you, but before I conclude, let me tell you that now that the election is over, we are quite ready and willing to give up all the angry fueling that his election has engendered, and now to go hand in hand with our opponents. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I will not detain you any further ; the election is over, and our candidate has been successful—(cheers)—and I do say that it reflects the highest honour on the Ward. (Cheers.) Mr. Stitt has been returned by a majority of the burgesses, and that majority represents the intelligenc e and the integrity or the Ward. (Great cheering.) Gentlemen, I will now introduce to your notice your new representative. Mr. Stitt then presented himself, •and was received with deafening cheers, which were prolonged for some time. He said, when he procured a hearing from the vast assembly —now this important contest ha. ended—a contest between age, influence, and wealth, against youth, and, what was called, inexperience—(hear, hear,) —and, yet, by your united exertions, you have proclaimed in favour of youth. (Loud cheers.) After the great exertions of the day, in which von have all so nobly shared, I find that out of this extensive and important Ward, that 575 voters recorded their votes for me, and 559 for my opponent, leaving me in a majority of 16. (Great cheers.) I envy not the feelings tof any one, and respect those of a'l, and El'hough the cont s; has been a close one, yet I consider myself equally the representative of those in the Ward who voted against me, as I do cf those who supported me. (Loud cheers.) I cannot say that I ap proved of all the proceedings taken by my opponent, during the contest—there were many things I could not possibly approve of, but now that the contest is ended, - I am willing to let byegones be byegones, and to shake the good hand of f e ll ows hip with all. (Loud cheers.) I am willing to bury in oblivion all the angry feelings, and all the bickerings that may have been provoked or excited during the time we have been preparing for this contest, which has so gloriously terminated this moment. (Great cheering). All my consti tuents—l consider the whole ward my constituents— (loud cheers)—shall receive at my hands the attention to which they are entitled, in the council and out of it. (Tremendous cheering.) Gentlemen, your great labours in this struggle have ended--gloriously ended—mine are only about to commence in your behalf. (Renewed applause.) I shall carry with me into the council chamber those principles which you are already aware I profess ; and when, at the end of three years, I again present myself before you, I trust that you will find me unchanged, and that I may refer to my con duct as the best passport to your renewed suppot t (Vehement applause.) I shall always endeavour to carry out the sentiments which I have expressed to you already, and I shall not deceive you when again I present myself before you. Gentlemen, I now go to the council to represent your wants and expound your views— the views and principles upon which you have chosen me, and if I live, I shall never deviate from what you know I pos sess. It is a great triumph —not on my part, but on yours, and allow me to say that I congratulate and thank you, and also to say, I shall not detain you longer at this hour than to say—Good bye. (He then withdrew amidst enthusiastic cheering, which lasted several minutes.) Three cheers were then given for Mr. Stitt, and the call was heartily responded to. A vote of thanks was next _ proposed to Mr. Hall, the chairman of the committee, and duly honoured. Mr. Councillor Hodgson then addressed a few remarks to the electors, congratulatory on the victory they had achieved, and the meeting separated. LIME STREET WARD. This Ward was the centre of attraction all day; the contest being regarded as the chief one in the town, and a deep interest prevailed, not only in the ward, but through town generally, as to the result. The crowd of respectable persons that congregated about the corner of Norton-street and the centre of London-road, was very great, even at an early hour, and, as the day wore on, the augmentation was immense, some thousands being present, awaiting, with feverish anxiety, the half-hourly announce ment of the polling: and when the numbers were posted on Mr. Jeffery's committee-room door, the cheering was immense. Tiae numbers were not posted by Mr. Lloyd's party at all after ten o'clock, nor was there any enthusiasm exhibited on his part, whilst on the part of the successful candidate, the utmost amount of popular fervour was mani fest. It was not boisterous, however, but that honest, sober, and intelligent enthusiasm attending on the right cause. There was plenty of drink going amongst the Tory party ; and one ruffian, in a most beastly state of intoxication, came up to vote for Mr. Lloyd, and created much disorder, and excited the disgust of all who saw him. He was ultimately sent away by the police. Mr. Lloyd's friends had a numerous band stationed in the celebrated (for eleclon purposes) Swan Tavern, nearly opposite the polling place, and it was most ludicrous to witness the efforts of the performers to stifle the joyous shouts of the people when the state of the poll was announced ; of course such efforts only caused considerable laughter. There were loud complaints made against the arrangements at the polling window, which were of a character calculated to retard instead of forwarding the business, but who was to answer for this ? We heard it attributed to the Alderman ; but on this point we give no opinion. On another point, we heard a good deal of conversation, but with regard to its truth we say nothing. A person was reported to be busily engaged in making wagers with voters, that they would not vote for Mr. Void, and, in some instances, it was stated that the bait was successful. It was (if true) worthy of the " good old Tory times," when " beer and bribery " carried elections. Those days are gone, and the "everlasting smash " made on the remnant of that party, by the result of the day's proceeding, will never be remedied. The Liberal electors of the Ward proved true to their prin ciples, and rushed like noble freemen to rescue it from the degradation under which it long groaned ; and, as a proof of the spirit that actuated the voters, nearly two-thirds of them had recorded their votes for Victoria. ...
