SOUTH WILTS.

The official deolaratiSn of the poll was made yes-
terday at Salisbury. It wee rumoured in the morning
that the partisans of Lord Henry Thynne, the defeated
candidate, intended to orate a disturbance . but the
intention, if it ever existed, which is doubtful, was
not carried into effect. On the contrary, the greatest
good humour prevailed among all parties,and, although •
little excitement would have been pardonable at the
close of an election so keenly contested, nothing
°Framed to denote the presence of angry feelings on one
side or the other. The friends of Mr. If erbnit and Mr.
Wyndham tempered their triumph with moderation, while
those of Lord Henry Thynne bore their disappointment
with exemplary fortitude. The cheers which welcomed the
sacounful candidates were not heartier or more general
than those which greeted their beaten rival when he pre-
muted himself on the hustings, surrounded by a considerable
body of him principal supporters. In abort, the contest has
been conducted throughout in a spirit highly creditable to
the county, sod Mr. Herbert represented the isuiversal feel-
ing yesterday wham, said • char which reed* the market-
place of Selisbury rang again, he crowd the hustings and
shook bands cordially with Lord Henry Thrum.
