COUNTY OF DUBLIN.
ststatit DAY.—WEDNESDAY, JUNE 28.
Then wr laws Week on the ground during the forenoon of this
day than on rye the preceding days but after one o'clock the
adverse forces mustered in more than ordinary strength. Mr.
Hamilton, as we understand, had determined to make a vigorous
effort this day to retrieve the ground he had lest. while the other
Candidates west equally resolved to maintain the advantageous
position in which they had been placed by the popular voice.
From ten till one o'clock. the polling was rather in favour of Mr.
Hamilton; after that, Colonels White arid Talbot kd the van until
five, and from that hour until the eltr,e pf the poll, at six, Mr.
Hamilton gained somewhat on his adversaries. Altogether the
contest was more severe this day than it has yet been. At the close
of the poll the numbers stood thus :
White . 232 Hamilton- 183
Talbot - . 2-22 I

31a:rrity for Colonel White . . 48
For Colonel Talbot . - 38
There are 1.15 disputed votes on the day's polling, and the Remit-
tonians think, then these a% decided, they will have a small
majority.
When the proceedings of the day were concluded, Colonel White
again came forward to conratulate the electors' but reminded
them, at the same lime, that great exertions would still be fleets-
airy. 3lr. Lawless next addressed the electors, and after him
31r. Nugent, Barony Constable of Rathdown, and a tenant of
Sir Comp:on Donwille. 31r. Nugent said he had a commission
on the occasion, signed by two Colonels, White and Talbot, and
oountersigned by General Cockburn, and lie, therefore, consi-
dered Itioistif entitled to raise recruits. During the crash that
took place in the Courthouse. while these gentlemen were speak-
ing, a young man was thrown down and had his shouldet dis-
located.

A strong party of .the constabulary, horse and foot, under the
orders of Lieutenants Harper and Fitz-Ribbon, Chief Constables,
and of the City Police, under the orders of Mr. Farrell, remained
on the ground during the day, but we are happy to state that every
thing went on in the most orderly manner, and rendered their in-
terfermce unnecessary. By eight o'clock the ground was entirely
cleared of the populace, and the police was marched off.
Between nine and ten o'clock, a strong party of Whiteboys made
an attempt to carry, by a romp de man. the head-quarters of the
Ilandltonians in Anglesea-street. In this they nearly succeeded,
having a effected a lodgment ; tney rushed boldly up the stairs to
the room where the books were deposited, which appeared to be the
grand object of attack. The garrison, though somewhat unpre-
p.red for so sudden an assault, were sufficiently on the alert to re-
peal the invaders ; and in their turn made a gothic. In the interim,
Mr. Goodison came up CO the police, who may be considered to
maintain a kith] of armed neutrality on this occasion: the result
was' that a Il'hi ehoy. and • Hamiltonian, were made prisoners,
andiodgtd in College-street office. The balusters of the house in
Angleseastreet were totally demolished in the affray.
Hy elevep o'clock, tbe town wsts perfesilly quiet, and the taus
police disimased for the night.—Drstriin Prionsan's Journal.

Mr. POWER returned thanks with his accustomed brevity.
Lord 0. lIERESFORD came forward amidst theelafbours of the
well-diseiplioed rabble, but ' in his 'alma! distinct firm,

manly tone; he said, " I have just reason to tI and
the 11:e electors for the handsome manner in win they have come
forward to support me. Their su; port is of a character not to be put
down by a confederacy acting as shamefully as unconstitutionally.
(Great uproar.) I rejoice to be esabled to tell my friends that the
final issue of this contest shall be to their satisfaction. (Groaning,
hissing, and continued uproar.) His Lordship resumed with per-
fect coolness, " I thank God wchave laws and a constitution equal
to defeat a confederacy formed against the rights and privileges of
the electors, and the Interest of the country. (Tremendoueconfu-
fro :.) To-morrow morning I shall again meet my friends at the
hustings." Ills Lordship and his friends then withdrew.
lilt. STUART was again proud of his place on the poll. The
confederacy alluded to by the Noble Lord was no more than the
union of patriots, and he would rather be defeated, with such a
band, than successful with the enemy of his country. (Great ap-
please.) It wait not true that he and his friend had split. On the
contrary, they were quite happy in their mutual friendship.
Mr. O'Const ELI. then got tip, and the High Sheriff permitted
him to inflame the rabble for some time with his wonted brutality !
