It is with great pain we have to state, that
every precaution wit taken to preserve the :trace
of the town, by mit distributing any drink to the
populace, as W. 1% intended, they became so irritated
at thaw issue of the poll, that they :proceeded best
to wreak their vengeance no Lanai I.NIOUTII'S fa.

viewers; and finally they attacked the house of Mr.

family lie is said to have received many favours, in

The appearance .1 the poll may mislead drove
who are not •ware that it is proceeding by tallies.
The oreetwary effect of this must be, that the two
united Candidate% poll in the proportion of two to
one, 1.0 1011 g as they are able to produce their tallies;
Lord SEFTON, therefore, if hi had 10,000 vote',
could not have yet pulled one more than he has.
Ilia oil:porters. however. are an cosifidetit in their
strength that they have put up Mr. Alumna HEY-
WOOD 11* a fourth Candidate, and will thus open
another bar, and place Lord SEFTON on an equality
with his oitistmentti; the whole indepembuit spirit of
