DROGHEDA ELECTION.
[From the 'Woman's Journal of IS'ednesday.l
The Requisition of the Electors of Drogheda, to the number of
370, to Mr. Wallace, that he would offer himself as a Candidate,
was presented to him on Thursday last ; and having taken from
that day to Saturday evening to consider the subject, he then
gave it a direct refusal. This was rivet, to one of the Lleputa.
Lion. This refusal was made known by that person to the Eke-
tors on the Sunday, and in the course of that day, Mr. W. was
attain pressed by another of the persons by whom the proposition
had been made, and who holds a responsible rank in the Corpo-
ration ; he was Induced to give his consent to be put in nomina-
tion. In the mean time the Electors, to whom the refusal of Mr.
W. lrild been communicated, waited on Mr. Vanhomrigh, and
obtained his extent to be put in nomination as a Candidate. This
,1
not having been made public, nor any intimation of it given in
Dublin. the consequence was, that on this morning, when a large
party of the Drogheda Freemen, resident in Dublin, were vit. ering
the town to vote for Mr. Wallace. they were met by Mr. Van.
hotnrigles new friends proceeding with him to the bust ngs: Thi,
misundenstandirs becoming known to Mr. W., he immediately
sent a written intimation to the Sheriffs, that he did not intend to
offer himself; and thus two Candidates, Mr. Al. smith. the late
Member, and Mr. Vanhomrigh only, are now the Candidates.

CHAIRING OF MR. PLUNKETT.
From the crowd in the Hall of the College on Monday, and the
confusion that prevailed, our reporter could not get sufficiently ar
to are what actually occurred. We have been favoured by a gen-
tleman, who was in a situation to ate all that passed, with the fol-
lowing particulars:—
On Mr. Plunkett being declared duly elected, he was placed
in the chair, and mounted oo the shoulders of his friends, who sue.
rounded him in great numbers. Amnng these were observed several
of the Fellows and Schnlars of the University. In this way he was
carried through the 'Hall, while those present expressed their feel-
ings by cheers and hisses, so nicely blended that it would be nu-
possible to say which predominated. On reaching the steps of the
Hall. the party opposed to Mr. Plunkett rallied all their strength,
assisted by a number of persons unconnected with Alma Mater,
and alto were evidently congregated there to prevent the chairing.
Mr. Plunkett's friends, unprepared for this reinforcement to the
!apposite party, gave way, and the oppositionista haring rucceetled
in gaining the chair, forced Mr. Plunkett out of it, and tore the
chair to pieces. ►n the scuffle Mr. Plunkett received • blow, but
whether by accident or design our informant could not take upon
himself to say. The Hon. Gentleman then went back to the Hall,
from whence he returned harm The ultra pasty proceeded tri.
