until withis a fear minutes of the returniag olicer's leaking

leg le aggro* that he was in a !majority.
Iffir Da L. EVANS retained thanks for the generous,
spiallak sad patriotic exertions of his constituents, and
sg esegretulated them that, notwithstanding the division
us the Liberal ranks, the Conservative party had not
obtained any advantage. After alltuling to the City and
Lambeth elections, he said he would never seek the suffrup
of the electors by flattery. With candour he ex pressed himself,
with candour and indulgence he hoped to be received. It
was to him an additional source of pride in the result, that
he had not attempted to wheedle, cajole, or seduce a single
voter—(hear, hear)—he bad sought support solely and ex-
clusively on political grounds, and he thanked the electors
for the untiring seal which they had displayed.
Mr. LVARINGTON felt constrained to offer to the electors
his heartfelt thanks for the position in which he was placed.
Even to those who had shown the meet virulence to-
wards him during the contest, he would always be
ready in his rattle earecity to render any service
in his power. He eleiretaired the elector, on their resto-
ration of their tried waraber, Sir De L. Evans, to hie former
position. To that graham he was well pleased to stand
second ; and he would akar be reedy cordially to coalesce
with him in the public sereire. In comelnehin he promised
a fkithful adherence to, lie primaries on which he had

for the purpose of returning hint to parlisaseet, that they
would be able to prove a sufficient number of came of false
returns, of intimidation, and of corruption, to piece
him in a msjority over Mr. Lushington. (immense
cheering.) There was abundant evidence to prove that an
unfair return bad been made, not by the High Bailiff, but
•by the parties employed by his (Mr. Cochrane's)
opponents, end that men had come up to the poll to repre-
sent wick voters in their beds. (Uproarious *bouts.) Atter
alluding to the "plucky " manner in which he had
fought the battle, he complained repeatedly of alleged inter-
ruptions on the part of gentlemen on the hustings, and at
length, declaring that his patience and generosity were ex-
hausted, denounced those whom he charged with interrupt-
ing /um as the slanderers of his character, and as those who
had been hired, or had hired others, to act as his tin-
dui:qrs.—On the motion of Sir De L. Evans, seconded
by Mr. Cochrane, a vote of thanks was given to the high
bailiff, and briefly acknowledged, after which the crowd
dispersed.
