This Elceion finally closed on Saturday the 6th
instant, when the Right Hon. Sir John Newport
was returned by a majority of 132 ; the numbers
being, for Sir J. Newport, 524; fo. Mr. Bult.n, 392.
The latter Gentleman maintained the contest as long
as he bad a to poll.
Alderman Ntwtoßr, the father of the worthy
Baronet, b lore he gave 11.3 vote on Saturday, ad-
dressed the Court in a inert and impressive speech,
%melt deeply interested t r audience, by the senti-
ments of paternal off. Lion aad love of his country,
which it contained.

The return h.:lligma in. the two Candidates seve-
rally addressed •.! Eledors.
Sir Joum Ncsveore, In returning thanks, said,
" I have sincerely to thank my FellowsCititens for
having honoured me with that large poi tion of their
independent sal'. ages, which has placed me in so
signal a majority. At any time, their raising me.
to the dignified situation of their Representative,
in the great Council of the State, would excite
in me sentiments of the deepest gratitude ; but,
under the present circunwanres, when I contem-
plate the powerful means that 'rave been employed
against me, and t e formidable combination of
interests which have been opposed to my return, I
cannot but congratulate myself upon so proud a
triumph, the remembrance of which must ever
call forth the best energies of my understand-
ing. I feel that I can with truth assert, that,
from the earliest part of my life, to the present
period, the essential interests of my country have
been the prime objefls of my study and ambition.
I have now only to offer, in return for the distin-
gui,shed marks of public favour with which I have
been honoured through this severe struggle, the as-
surances of my determination to pers.- were in the
same line of mallet which had recommended me
to your choice. end the print pies which, through
my tite, it hes been my pride and glory to pursue."
Mr. BotTost, in his address, stated that he hid
cornmiiiiced the coot-st in toll cnn6drnee of success.
A Chair, splendidly decorated, had be. n pre-
viously prepared for Sir John Newport, and, imme-
diately on the breaking up of the Court, he WAC
drawn by the populace through the principal streets
of the city, at,elided by a concourse I,f t sentlemea
on foot and on horseback, and by the greatest crowd
