ELECTION

788.-( THIS DAY.)

MATO.

The am:amides re-neenSiorat-.the nand hour this morn-
ing, Mr. ficholdield in the chair. The room, mon former
da yu wee very much crowded.
The comnsittee were engaged the whole at the day nearing
rebutting evidence on behalf of the sitting member. The
object of this evidence was to show that the rioting alleged
to have taken place during the election, had been
slay much exaggerated. Colonel Knox, en elector
end resident In the county, was the principal wit.
news examined today, end the gellest coked
and the acting enegietrates of Dallinrobe gave it as their
that the lest election was as quiet, if not quieter,
than rte election of 1862. Such as it was, the excitement urea
only of the average character generally attendant upon Iriek
elections.
OXFORD. . .

The Orford (borough) cont....Jae.° reassembled at twelve
o'clock to-day end were occupied with evidence of treating
up to the time our report left. It appeared from the
evideoce of ono of the witnesses, • tavern-lumper, fa
Word that the agent who wee said to have manapd • por-
tion of the alleged treethig wee scareely ever sober during
the eledion. Some of Ids tavern Ms mill remain unpaid. Ono
of the witnesses stated that be maw the sitting member, Mr.
Nsate, at several of the convivial meetings. The honourable
gentleman's health woe invariably proposed, and he made
in seknowledgment of the compliment. Bowels to
speeches
was repeatedly drunk in quarts of beer, for
which no one was asked to pay on the spot.

The above committee reassembled at the usual hour;
Mr. Hutt in the chair, and the evidence of the alleged
intimidation of voters on the part of non-electors wee con-
timed.
MAIDSTONE.
The above committee met again this morning at the usual
hoar; Mr. O. A. Hamilton in the chair.
The evidence in support of the allegation of bribery
wee continued. Severthilectors were examined with the view
of showing that they wore promised money to vote for the
sitting mambas, Hope sad Scott and one of them admitted
that after the poll he received 1/. from his foreman. KM
meter was on Hope sad good's committee. Another
I elector stated that he met the same individual
shortly before the deed" end he wee protaised
104 if he would vote Sir Hope and Scott.
He asked, " Where's th's money "Oh," wee
the reply, "Toe'll get ft ea Monday, (after the
election), but I'll give you ea order on • piece of
paper now." The elector declined to have that, as there
bad been • previous conversation about 151. being the
amount; but at a later period he celled again upon
the person who made the promise, but this time
the tone wasand the nibbling elector
was politely told altered,thahe was " a d—d fool to sup-
pees that anybody weld give ban 101. for his
vote.' He voted for the abet dde, end In eras-
e:imitation he admitted there appeared to be more of
jocularity than emneetnem In the attempted negotiation.
The committee were occupied the entire morning
with evidence of a similar character.

The General Committee of Elections also re-assem-
bled this afternoon and fixed the days for prooeeding with
other election petitions not previously appointed.

Prince Napoleon left Paris on Saturday for Eng-
land, to visit the Manchester Exhibition.
A letter from Darmstadt, of the 2nd, states that

E QUEEN OF SPAIN AND THE PEOPLE
or MaDato. A correspondent of the Teem at
Madrid writes The effect of the official announce•
meat of the Queen's condition and of the rejoicings
—or, it should rather be said, the prescribed
and enforced ceremonies consequent on it—has been decidedly
bad. The public attention has been thus directed to subjects
to which it is unnecessary that I should here more particu-
larly allude, and certain feelings very strongly testified at the
time the pregnancy wee first spoken of have been revived.
Thom feelings are moat unfavourable to the two highen pee-
in the country, end they are expressed with remark-
able ore and bitternesa. In the galleries of the Cham-
bers on Wednesday, among the people abroad in the
street,, and even among some of the groups of officers who
on Saturday evening awaited in front of their regiments
the passage of the royal procession, the remarks and
jokes current were such as to prove beyond • doubt
how email is the respect that royalty in Spain now corn-
mends. During the last few days manuscript lampoons,
Caricatures, and copies of verses—all of the most disrespect-
ful and many of the grossest description—hare been passing
from hand to hand. One epgam, of only four lines, but se
sharp se it is short, has lad grant emcees, and is in every-
body's mouth. A copy of vers very witty, severe, and
scandalous, representing the o4r•' subserviency
favourite of the day, was said to have caret the
cabinet in 1853. Possibly the may things of the kind now
in circulation may not have that effect on the Narrate go-
vernment; but they certainly bode no good either to it or to
the pale,. In theta see eat forth and commented upon with
perfect freedom, and in some Mme with abominable
e circumstances which here ere knewn to everybody,
although spoken of bet in whisper. or in covert allueions."
LONDON NECROPOLIS AT WOKING.—The neer*.

Tottie, the Swedish coneul, and the principal members of his
