LEEDS.—The liberal party of this borough have
swag reason to be satisfied with the result of the elections
for Town Councillors on Monday. With one solitary ex-
ception the tories were beaten to every contest; and even
there the elate of parties remains the eame—a tory succeed-
ing a tory. In four wards toriee were ousted, no less than
five tories being in them displaced by liberals; and in only
two wards in rho whole borough was the tory candidate re-
turned.—Leeds Lemur,.

THE. REPRESENTATION Or lIAIMIPII.—Thcre has
not been much change in the poaition of affairs at Harwich as
regards the approaching election. Mr. J. C. Marahman has
visited the borough, and in an address since published sus,
"he found Mr. Bagshaw, the sitting member, already in the
geld fur a second reat, in the person of his son, and the elec-
tors under such obligations to this gentleman for outlay of
money, that it was not probable they would resent his self-
Important demand. Mr. Bagshaw, jun ,is canvassing and
Mr. Bagahaw, sen., is fall of paternal hope." Mr. Bag-
gier., in his addrees, My., on a former occasion he withdrew
In favour of Major Warburton, but he now, under the
palatal circumstances in which the constituency suddenly
lad themselves placed, renews the offer of his beet services.
Mr. Baschaw press° pledges, and makes no other profes-
sions. Mr. Thomas Tower, of Weald-hall, Brentwood, ano-
ther liberal candidate, I. more evplicit. He describes himself
as an advanced liberal reeking to removes and strengthen the
time-honoured institutions of our country, and to progress
with the spirit and intelligence of the age. Mr. Areadecknefe

to be duly registered A 1," is Mill before the electors ; bat

from the directors relative to the payment of the seven per

far too long dated.
