OFFICIAL DECLARATION OF THE POLL.

Mir morning an AMMONIAC crowd, certainly not lees the
10,000 persona, emembled at the hustings to hear the °fixes
declaration of the poll.
Tha three candidates were all premium, and the euceelaftd
oae■ were most cordially moire&

Shortly after eleven Mr. Onelote, the Morning officer, MY
nouneed the result of the pull to be aa Skllown

Roupell
William§ 7648
Wilkinson
It w uonacquemtly declared that Mr. Roupell and Mr.
Williams were duly elected to repreeent the borough In per.
lament.

Mr. Rourrm., in coining forward to address the electors,
Ina greeted with tremendous manifestations of enthusiasm,
lie said he mane forward to tender to them his earnest tad
heartfelt thanks for the manner in which the electors bad
supported him on that great occasion, and be received the
compliment as paid not so much to himself to to
the great principle which ho represented. (Chem)
Not only was kin majority the largest which had ever been
given to any man in that borough, but the minder polled
for him ezceoded that which had ever been polled en a
like eocasion— (loud cheers)—throwing into the shade

the elections for the cities; of London, Blancheeter;
and every other town throughout the country. It
was a glorious triumph of liberty and truth over the
modern eyetem of time-saving end hypocrisy. (Cheery
and a voice, " A pill for Wilkinso%.") He Wilg net
puffed up or unduly elated at finding himself is
such a position, for he was aware that treruendoui
responeibility devolved upon him, and a religions feels
ing had come over his mind which he trusted would nee.
I leave it. (Heat, hear.) But the next parliament wool(
be an historical parliament. Matters would be brought
before it of the greatest, importance to themselves and I.
futurity in regard both to our foreign relations and to our dos
manic politica, and they might depend upon it that he
I would give his utmost attention to them, and devote himself
entirely to the interests of the electors and of the country,
Ho must now allude to a subject which was aot
quite so agreeable. That election was up to a
certain period conducted in a manner which reflected ere*
upon every one concerned in it. There wee a total atones
of that vulgarity which in former times &mimed nearly aQ
election proceedings, and it was hie strong desire that
nothing of that kind might occur upon this occeeks.
On the previous day, however, about two or three o'clock,
whim Mr. Wilkinson's' party taw that they were in a minority
of 2,000 or 3,000, the agents of that gentlemen
posted up a notice to the effect that all the
votes which were given for him (Mr. /toupell)

were illegal, u he had been guilty of gross bribery and me'
ruptien—(" hear, bear,' and uproar)—and they bad also
the impudence to my that he was not qualified, aa regards(
property, to represent the borough. (Laughter.) Ifs.
although ho felt that insult personally, he also
felt that it was an insult to every free elector of that
borough. (Hear, hear.) In fact, it won such an insult
u he would not have offered to the poorest amongst
them. (Charm) Ho would not have offered to the pond
of them a bribe. because he woe quite sure that if he ha(
it would bare been thrown back in his face with disgust.
(Chan.) He was happy to say that the expense of his elsw
ton wee much under the ar cragr, and he considered that It
reflected greet credit upon the borough that it bad not pat
him to an enormous expense. But any remarlus on the subject
of expense came with very bad grace from the candidate who
had promulgated this calumny. (Hoar, hear.) He would
ask whether it were true that on a former occasion the gee.
Henan to whom he referred, although he was only Won
the borough three days, did during that time ■pnd se
much as he (Mr. 'teapot') spent in ten days. (Cheers, sal
cries of "No, no.") Why, bemuse he wonted
to be thought the poor man's friend, he (Mr.
Wilkinson) had bread brought in vans and moll

a quarter; loaf for • penny. (Here • gentleman
es the platform, who wax stated to be one of Mr. Wilkinson's
agents, exclaimed, "It's • lie.") The hen. candidate
bed just given him the lie direct ; but he could afford to
take it from him ; he would make due allowance for the
bitter feelings of • disappointed candidate. The ides'
of bribery and corruption in a free borough like
that mast have been engendered in the dark MAO
of utter despair. (A gentleman on the hustings here
observed to Mr. Roupell that it was not Mr.
him= who gave bins the lie.) Ile again Ward
them for the position in which they had placed bins
He looked forward with pleasure to the opportoskiel
which he would have of meeting them every year, wire
he would be most happy to give them an account of ble
stewardship, and he hoped that then, as now, he would ban
no bad votes to defend. He tendered to them his hearty
thanks, and he called upon the Almighty to mist him to be
true to them and to represent their interests faithfully.
(Cheers.)
Mr. WILLIAMP, who was received with considerable
cheering, said bo was proud to address the electors as hi
constituents for the third time. (Cheers.) He owed
the position which he then occupied, to the cm
ertions of independent electors, and not to auk
efforts of paid or hired canvassers. In all Farts of the
borough, friends of his came forward to support, not ble
mime personally, but the great muse of economy and redone
in the institutions of the country. He Memelf was only
humble though energetic in.trument in carrying out important
national ineseures Though be was proud of the honour of
representing that borough, be was still more proud of being
mat to the House of Commons free and independent. No
disgraceful condition hod been imposed upon hire
ea their member ; ho was not to be tied to
the car of • minister and be dragged through
corruption, just se that minister might desire. In•
deed, he would not be placed in such • position. They might
rest seemed that ho would act as he had hitherto done for
their good and for the good of the country, and
that no other consideration should influence him
in any act or vote of his as their represents.
tive. il6 hoped he should have opportunities of
supporting Lord Calreerston's goverretest but his lordship
would only obtain his support by bringing forward masons
which would be beneficial to the country. lard
Palmerston had been prime minister for nearly
two years, end during that time he had brought
forward scarcely any smarms which was worthy
of record. When he (Mr. Williams) met the electors last
year at the termination of the session, he had only a single
measure of any value to refer to; he hoped that wbeli
he met them et the end of the neat mike
he would be able to point to many good manures. Lord Pel-.
merston had promised a great deal ; they would now ender
vent to get him to perform. His honourable colleague (Mr.
Ronpell) bad just alluded to certain proceedings in QM
election. It was his (Mr. Williams's) most anions &ire*
conduct the election in relation to the other candidate' lei
perfect freedom from any ill-feeling whatever. He had newt
said a word and had never done • single thing against bit
late colleague, who was on that occasion his great °most
On the other hand that gentleman's party bad done or
