THE ELECTIONS.

BURGHS ELECTION.

Mr. W. S. Lindsay, the liberal and nassecenaftd
candidate fee the representation of thus burghs, hen ad-
dressed to is a letter, In which, after premising that he had
determined to incur none but " legitimate" eapeaer, Ms.
printing and advertising and a share of the ling baths,
he proceeds to say how he aped when the day of the
election arrived:—
" Everything seemed in our farm till the night before
the election, when our committee made their last rounds.
Many viten who had promised could then not be toned ;
they were either out of town or stowed away in some nyo.
terkus place. The morning came. The colour of the
conservatives was blue ; that of the liberals red. Polling
commenced at eight o'clock. A whole street of small
voters, who had distinctly promised to vote for the liberal
cause, had, before 10 a m., polled for the blues, and various
others who declared they would stick to their whines and tote
in accordance with their conscience after two p.m., unless
they got upwards of 20i. per head, polled for blues by half-
past nine a.m. Votes appear'd to be dear in the
morning, but, eontrary to the usual custom, and when
it was found the red party would not buy, their market
value fell in the afteraoon, for at 1 p.m. an exprossarrived
offering me the votes of 100 • free and independent elec-
tors ' for 20s. a head, and at half-past two other four very
respectfully offered themselves for halta•crowa each; and
when this was declined, they were willing to support free
trade for the low charge of 3d. eaeh, the valise of a pint of
hoer. While all this was going ea, the sane is the town
wee perfectly indescribable. Windows were smashed!
haws gutted, carriages °meteoroid. reds trampled
apse by blue, and blues, in their turn, trampled
apes by rob. Noses were Wain, eyes blackened,

The town was hi of athletic men from the bills,
of determined resmsters, wed for what purpose they
were sent dims yes may imagine. One important fact
resslosil me, and le shams lee it mid, that a county ma-
dne% nephew elf ray aspensat, brought by special train
Mid to WM mimeos from Minutia armed with sticks, blud-
geons, and life gesservers, and lodged them, at eight a.m.,
in a large inn awned the Parrot.' These men, as the
peaceable liberals mass to the poll, assaulted them,
and drove them away. This naturally so exasperated
the town people, who were chiefly liberals, that they
in tarn attacked the int., drove these fellows on manse from
it, tore down the dome, forced out the windows, and so dis-
mantled the house, that when I passed it tins morning,
there was nothing but the bare walls, and a tattered blue
flag visible. This was the commencement of the many dis-
graceful scenes which followed, and which prevented a
great number of our stanch but peaceable supporters,
who could not be bought, from recording their votes, so
that there were 362 who did not poll. Can this be called
an election ?"

DEVONroftr.—The present representatives, Mr.
Tufnell and Sir J. Remaly have at present the prospect of
an unopposed return.
EAST CORNWALL—The split between Mr. Ken-
dall! and Mr. Carew is said to be in a fair way of being
made up. If this should turn out the case, these two gen-
tlemen will ho supported by the conservative protection
party against Mr. Roberts..
LITERPOOL.—On Saturday the supporters of
Messrs. Cardwell and J. C. Ewart, the free trade
candidates for Liverpool, held a meeting, which was
most numerously attended.—Mr. Lawrence, who was tits
chairman on the occasion, said, that although he differed
on many points with some of those present, still he wen an
advocate for the free trade principles of Mr. Haikisson and
Lord Bandon, as matured by Sir Robert Peel, sad he would
do all in his power to prevent those principles Wag ondem-
gaged. It would be for the constituency of Lis=taz
whether her trade should be reversed by the
ties of Lord Derby. The chairman, in conclusion, intro-
duced Mr. Cardwell to the meeting.—Mr. Cardwell, an
coming forward, was received with considereble apneas.
Heald the people had been told by Lord Derby that arti-
cles of import were the proper subjects of taxation,
sad he saw no reams why food should be sa
os-
sepWa t bet if the preps were properly supported
by their representatives they would prevent that podgy
from being reversed villa bad filled their homes with

(Hear, hear.) I take up the paper which has been placed

In the toast which I lest proposed, the " Army

limbs and declining years of our naval and military veterans
this country has rovided noble and costly receptacles to
shield their declining years ; but yes are also aware, and I I
say it not as a matter of complaint bat of fact, that for the I
votaries of art, for the peaceful votaries of the fine arts, no
such provision is made. Painting lea not her Chelsea,
