The contest for the repnwntation of the borough
of Hull, in the place of Mr. Joseph Hoare (comer-
votive), unmated by a select committee of the Homo of
Commons, did not prove so keen on Saturday, the day on
which the poll took pleos, ea had been anticipated by both
liberals and conservatives. The candidates were Mr. John
Harvey Lewis, barrister-at-law (liberal), the defeated candi-
date at the last elsotloa, and Mr. Joseph Soma, of London,
shipowner (conservative). Mr. Some, took the lead from the
Mt, sad finally hooded his opponent by 489 votes, the num-
ber at the close of the poll being—Solon (conservative),
2,068 ; Lewis (liberal), 1,679 ; majority, 489. At the elec-
tion in the sprmg of the present year Mr. Lewis polled 380
more than he did on the premed ocesidee, and Mr. Hoare,
who was the second on the poll, polled at the last election
201 more than Mr. Somas did on Saturday. Hence It would
appear that upwards of 500 fewer alscton recorded their votes
at this than at the preceding election.

and was declared to be in favour of Mr. Hodgson. The

great Writ on both sides. At noon the poll stood ,
