LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

CITY OF LONDON ELECTION.

STATE OF THE POLL.

The poll commenced, according to appointment, at
eight o'clock this morning. By the excellent arrange-
ments of the sheriff', the business was conducted with
the least possible confusion or interruption to buslnesa.
The votes of the liverymen were of course received at
Guildhall, where a desk was appointed for the mem-
bers of each company. No less than twenty polling
places were opened, where the householders of the
various districts recorded their suffrage". An efficient
body of police being in attendance at each of the
polling plates, the thoroughfares were kept tolerably
clear, and the voters were enabled to have freo in-
gress and egress.
As will be seen by the subjoined returns, the
liberals took the lead from the very commencement,
and three of them kept it to the latest return. In
the first hour, upwards of 1,100 votes were poledl
by each of them ; and the lowest of the liberals had
a clear majority of 213 over the highest tory. The
work, so well begun, was continued some hours. But
about the middle of the day, the tories, finding their
case hopeless, made a desperate effort to push Mr.
Mastermnu a-head on the poll, and succeeded in
placing him before Baron Rothschild.
Contrary to expectation Mr. Payne, it will be seen,
went to the poll, for what object it is impossible to
conceive, as only a few hundred votes were recorded
for him, chiefly by his personal friends.
The following are the hourly returns, as published

by the libe
in preparii
down to a

committee. Owing to the great delay
them, we are unable to bring the poll
ter hour than two o'clock, but shall give

the result

s second edition.
