toss 1,0001. for the peer of Cashel. (Cheers.) He appealed
to thane, was it likely he would call the people mambo
when by day or by night he travelled unarmed through the
Country T the had referred to in his speech, on which
such stress Whom laid by Mr. Maker, was a gang of 30 or
40 three or Seer of whom had been hanged. He
said the proof that he did not want a useless contest wee,
that he wee winks, they should pair off. (Cries of "No
no.") He added, that If they did vestdotbkdbe"
it wee not his fault if the parties were put to ex-
pense. As to tenant right, if by that was meant fair can-
petwatioa for the tenant for an smithy on the land, he
was for it ; but they must take core thus must not be
anything Igiting in it. (Hear.) Nothing mold do so much
good to IrMnd as a railway running through the country;
and this town would, by railways running out two different
ways, become, in a short time, a city greater than Cork.
(Cheers, and cries "net'. the question.") He said this,
and much greater, much more good could be done, if they
would dismiss from their minds agitation. (Criers of " Turn
out the Saxon "—" Cheers for Repeal.'') It they agitated
they would be taxed fcr the maintenance of police; and
without agitation they would have no such use for the
polies. As their repreientative, he believed he could do
much good ; but if he failed in the object of his ambition, then
he could say, it would not prevent him from struggling for the
benefit of Ireland. He concluded by thanking the electors
for the patient hearing which had been given to him.
Upon a show of hands being called for, the high sheriff de-
clared they were in favour of Mr. Maher and Mr. Scully. A
poll was then demanded on the part of Mr. Collett. The
sheriff declared that it should commence on the following
morning at nine o'clock. Ao appeal wu made to Mr. Collett
to go on with the poll that evening, and he retired to the
grand jury room with his friends. The result was, that he
withdrew his request for a poll; and at a few minute. peat
three o'clock, the high sheriff declared Mr. Maher and Mr.
Scully duly elected. The town was in a state of great excite-
ment until the unexpected announcement wu made, tkat
Mr. Collett withdrew from the contest.

WATERFORD (COUNTY).
The election for this county has most unexpectedly re-
sulted in the return of two repeaters. Up to Monday there
was not the slightest apparent intention of starting ally can-
didate in opposition to the late members, Messrs. Villiers
Stuart and Carew ; but Mr. Leonard Keating suddenly de-
termined on presenting himself, and was proposed on the
hustings. After the late members had been proposed and
seconded, Sir Richard Musgrave proposed Mr. Keating as
" • Conciliation-hell Repealer ;" the nomination was
seconded by Mr. Cantwell, P.P. Upon this both the late
members declared they would retire, and forthwith did so.
On the instant, a Mr. Rivers, who had previously
proposed
the
Hon. Mr. Carew, proposed another candidate, in the person
of Mr. Nicholas Power, of Snow-hill, a gentleman of great
local respectability and wealth. Mr Power alas is a re
peeler. Messrs. Keating and Power were then declared
duly elected. A correspondent of the Evening Poet writes
as follows :--" Of all the scenes I ever beheld, the most
strange was the result of our county contest this day. Our
late members were proposed and seconded in due form, and
a repealer was then put forward in the person of Mr. Robert
Keatinge, of the county of Tipperary, and, I regret to say,
he was proposed by Sir Richard Musgrave. The late mem-
bers then addressed the meeting; and first, Mr. V. Stuart de-
clared that he would not go to a contest, and merely offered
himself to.fill up the gap. The Hon. Mr. Carew, in his turn,
stood up and declared that he was reedy to go to a contest ;
but, sooner than allow Mr. Stuart to retire, he, as the junior
member, would retire. The repealer, then took courage,
and, I grieve to say, prevailed over Mr. Nicholas Maher
Pewee, of Faithlegg, who had seconded the nomination of
Mr. btusrt, to let himself be put in nomination, to supersede
the very man whom he had proposed to the county as a fit
representative. Mr. Stuart, true to his pledge, then refused
to accept the seat offered him, as he resolved upon not going
to a contest. Thus, Mr. Power superseded his own friend,
and now stands before the countyas our representative,undi r
circumstances which I forbear commenting upon. I should
add, that be is not a conciliation-hall repealer, although his
. .

wonder wu one of our own fiery city patr, iots, whom nothir s
would satisfy but a conciliation hall man. Mr. Robert
Keatinge, and Mr. N. Maher Power were declared duly
elected."

YORKSHIRE (WEST RIDING).
Below is a copy of the letter which reached Mr. Denison
whilst at luncheon with his friends at W►kefield, jut after
