CITY OF DUBLIN.

The polling commenced at the various booths at eight
o'clock on Saturday morning, but, long before that hour,
the streets were kept alive with the noise of cars and
vehicles of every description laden with electors, and
flying with hot haste to the various points selected for
the great and final straggle between the two powerful
factions. The Court-house, in Green-street, was set
apart for the use of the freemen, being in themselves a
host, and, if united, almost sufficient to turn the scale in
favour of whatever party might be fortunate enough to
wie their good graces. From the commencement they
mustered in considerable force, and for the first hour they
showed themselves true to their old coloars, four-fifths
or more having, before nine o'clock, recorded their votes
for Messrs. Vance and Grogan. Great delay was occa-
sioned by the agents indiscriminately administering to
every freeman the bribery and personation oaths; and, but
for the precaution of the sheriff in providing no less than
is booths for this electors, it would have been',
utterly impossible to poll half their number within the I
time prescribed by law. At eleven o'clock the coal-porters
(the old body-guard of the Corn Exchange) paraded on
13ergh-quay, and, after being inspected by their ap-
pointed leaders, trooped off in detachments to the se-
vere' pollin.g-places. All these men had struck work for
the day, nor would they permit others to work in their
stead; and all carts attempting to pass down the Coal-
quay were, with their drivers, unceremoniously turned
neck, with threats of, rough handling in the event of
non-compliance. threats_
available policeman was on duty
during the day; and.the authorities took every possible
me,tris to preserve order.
It is but fair to Mr. Reynolds to state that his defeat
is due to the freemen, and that if the decision had been
left to the wards the great probability is that he would
have been this evening one of the Members for Dublin
City. The poll closed at five o'clock, but nothing like
an accurate return can be obtained before to-morrow
morning. The Conservative majority, however, is 40t
less than from between 1,200 to 1,300. This is admitted

°XF°III) UNIVERSITY.
The election of the Members to represent this Uni-
versity commenced on Saturday at twelve o'clock in the
Sheidonian Theatre,
where the nomination took plane.
The doors of the theatre were opened a little before
twelve, and in a short time there was a tolerably largo
attendance of electors in the area. In the doctors' circle
we observed the Principal of Brasenose College, the
Dean of Christ Church, the President of St. John's, the
Warden of Wisdhain, the President of Trinity College,

The Vice-Chancellor, who was attended by the two
proctors and the registrar to the university, Dr. Bliss,
Principal of St. Mary Hall, commenced the proceedings
by cpenin.' the Convocation, and stating in Latin the
object for which it was held. The registrar then read
the precept wbich the Vice-Chancellor had received
from the High Sheriff for proceeding to the election of
two burgesses to represent the University in Parliament.
The usual oath was next taken by the Vice-Chancellor,
aftrwhichthe registrar read the clauses in the Act re-
lating to bribery and corruption at elections in so low a
tone of voice and at such rail it's speed that no one but

the learned doctor had the benefit of them, or was at all
enlightened by them. The Vic'-Chancellor then re-
quested in Latin that any elector 'desiring to pu- a can-
didate in nominwion would dos ), whereupon the Dean
of Christ Church nominated in Latin, and wirhout any
remarks, Sir Robert Harry Inglis, Bart. The Provost
of Oriel College proposed in a similar manner Mr.
Gladstone; and the President of St. John's College no-
minated Dr. Marsham.
Tiae Rev. Mr. Hedley, of Uniiersity College, who was
appointed polling clerk by the Vice-Chancellor, was
then sworn, and a number of masters of arta ware ad-
mitted to their regency. The polling coearnenc,,d about
half-past twelve, and was very brisk until about tour
o'clock, when it began to flag.
The following are the ret, s which were issued

It will be seen that after the first triumphant rush of
Mr. Gladstone's supporters. Dr. Marsham diminished his
opponent's majority. This, it was reported, is to be
accounted for by the circumstance that of Mr. Glad-
stone's resident supporters none or comparatively none,
were polled during, the day, while Dr. Marsham's com-
mittee has already registered much of its local strength.
It is worthy of notice that the.two committees, though
occasionally differing in their returns throughout the day,
adopted the same figures et the close of the poll.
The numbers polled to-day (Saturday) did not surpass
370, a very Huai' instalment out, of a constituency ex-
ceedingAooo.
It may be as well to mention that on Monday and the
following days the polling will commence at a quarter
after nine in the morning, and will be continued, with a
short adjournment at halt after one for admission to re-
gency, till six o'clock. According to the statement
issued by Mr. Glaistone's.commit;ee, polling will cer-
tainly bp.continud.throughout Wednesday; but it would
be unwise to speculate upon the poll being kept open
afterwards. . . .

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY.
At a Congregation holden on Saturday, Messrs. Goul-
burn and Wigram were returned without opposition.
The proceedings were altogether .of a formal character,
and occopied but a very few minutes.

NORTII
A correspondent .writes4—"As.was announced in this
paper, the names of two gentlemen to contest the repre-
sentation.of this county with Messrs. Spooner and New-
degate, were formally before the electors on Saturday,
and in nearly every part of the division the pretensions
of Mr. Craven and his colleague, Sir T. G. Skipwith,
have been most favourably received. A very influential
meeting of the electors, presided over by Mr. Geseh,
M.P. for Coventry, was held at Birmingham on Satur-
day. AR active canvass was commenced, the borough
being divided into numerous districts, and at nine o'clock
in the evening the returns.handed in to the central com-
mittee were even more favourable than was anticipated.
Mr. Scholefield, M.P., and all the leading Liberals of
Birmingham are actively engaged in the contest. At
Coventry, another stronghold of the Liberal cause, its
friends 4re exerting themselves manfully. The candid
and straightforward address of Mr. Craven will greatly
contribute to that gentleman's success; and, indeed, both
candidates deserve .it, seeing that they have come for-
ward, not. of themselves, but at the eleventh hour, after
having been strongly solicited by certainly four fifths of
the independent and mercantile section of the consti-
tuency. In the course of his address, Sir T. G. Skip 4
with says:—_" I beg. to say that I am proud to answer to
the wishes of those. electors who- are anxious to record
their votes in favour of Liberal principles, and to state
my determination, if returned, to support the general
principles of the late• Government; and especially to op-
pose any attempt to restore the duties on foreign corn."

posed Charles Baring Wall, Esq., as a fit and proper

received with a volley of applause from his friends and
supporters.
lie commenced by expressing the high gra-
' tification it afforded him to find the same mode of intro
duction adopted on this—the third occasion of his ap-
pearine• before them tti solicit their suffrages, as when he
first presented himself to their notice five years ago—
that of being proposed and seconded by gentlemen of
eminence in both parties in politics. The gentleman who
had proposed him (Dr. Finch) was well known to them
all as a worthy member of a Conservative family—a
family which had always been conspicuous for its at-
tachment to the principles of Conservatism; while his
seconder (Mr. Fawcett) was equally well known to
them as a firm and consistent Liberal.—(Cheers.)
This gratifying circumstance - convinced him (Mr.
Chaplin) that by a steady adherence to truth
and sound principles, a gentleman might not
only be sent independently to Parliament, bat might
also maintain an independent position when there.—
(Cheers.) It had been his (Mr. Chaplin's) aim, and
would continue to be his endeavour, to support the most
salutary measures let them proceed from what quarter
aoever they might.—(Hear, hear.) He would not con-
sent to narrow his powers of usefulness, by adopting
the extreme opinions of either party, or by enlisting as
the partisan of any Ministry.—(Cheers.) Re preferred
offering a steady support to those measures which were
best calculated to promote the general weal, while at
the same time he should never be unmindful of the par-
ticular interests of the locality he might have the honour
to represent.—(Bravo.) There were his professions,
and he felt an honest • pride in carrying them out into
practice. It
was ',true that - ho had experienced a
slight withdrawal- `of support from a few gentle-
au'ra upon the Conservative interest, rand what were
he reasons assigned by those gentlemen for their
secession? First, that he had attended a meeting of
Lord John Russell's supporters in Cheaham- i
P-ece, and,
"wildly, thUt he had voted for Mr. Locke King's motion
for the extension of the franchise, to occupiers of ten
Peund houses in counties as well as in towns.—(Cheers.)
Well, he had committed both the weighty sins laid to
his charge, and he would 4
ive them his reasons. The
Chesham-place meeting was convened to give an oppor-
tunity to the friends of free trade for the expression of
their determination to adhere to the principles of free
trade, and to resist every attempt to disturb the settle-
, 'cent' of the question in 1846.—(Cheers.) Those prin-
ciples, be it remembered, had been proved beithe expo-
riencl of six years, to be sound and judicious. The
benefits they had conferred upon the great majority of
the People had been universally acknowledged.—(cries
of " Yes, yes.") They bad even extorted a tardy and
reluctant acknowledgment of their wisdom from the
early They would
opponents of free trade. all, doubt-
less, recollect that on first coming among them in
1847, the abrogation of the corn-laws had beets just
completed; free trade had been recognised as the future
policy of
England, and they had all agreed to give it a
full and fair trial. Well, it had been tried fully and
fairly, and the results were trim:llo2El'4 in its favour,—
(Great aplause, and-cries of " The big loaf for ever...)
Thetefote he felt bound to secure its eentinuance, and

therefore he had pride in attending the meeting at
Cheshani-place.—(Cheers.) But that meeting had .
another obit-et in vLitv—that of. adoptine such a course
of acion• as would elicit from the new Administration,
as early as possible, some clear and explicit declaration
of its sentiments and future policy in regard to the
great question of the day—the maintenance of free
trade.--,(Cheers.) .But from that time to this they had
signally failed in arriving at this knowledge. Nobody
knew, nobody could guess, nehody ,divine what the
Derby policy was or was to be.—(Cheers.) And he had
no doubt that both his honourable opponents were as
much in the dark as. he was; that they must bath de-
plore their ignorance on this point, and must both wish
that they could visit some place or attend some meeting
where they would have an opportunity of learning what
really was the policy by which the present Administration
meant to. be guided,. and. which.they (the candidates)
had come forward avowedly to support.—(Cheers and
laughter.) If they.had done so—if they had heard
such a declaration, ahey . might possibly have favoured
the electors with some little novelty by way of a recom-
mendation. Indeed •it was jast.possible that they might
have offered something like the shadow of an excuse ror
coming forward and endeavouring to . displace their old
members; whereas at present there was a lamentable
absence f anything like aplea te.justifysuch ae.attempt.
—(Cheers.) With regard to the second ground of com-
plaint, he would first of all.ask the electors of Salisbury,
were they heartily, agreed as to_ the necessity of main-
taining intact tho principles of free trade?—(Shouts
of." Yee, yes," ancteravieg of hats.) Well, then, the
next point for consideration was—How must we secure
them ? . .Then arose the
.question—From what quarter
may we anticipate any desire to reverse the free-
trade policy? Surely from the landowners.—:(Hear.)
And how could their influence be checked, and re-
strained within just and reasonable limits, but by the ex-
tension . of the frauehise
.in cennties: as proposed by,
Mr. Locke King's motion?,—(Cheers.) Surely the occu-
piers of ten-pound houses in the country districts were
as intelligent and as papable of exercising a sound judg-
ment is the choice of a representative, as those who oc-
cupied houses at a similar rental in the towns.—(Cheers.)
Neot that those he then addressed were the best judges on
this point, for the citizens of Salisbury were surrounded
by noblemen 'and gentlemen, owning larke landed es-
tates, but who at• the same time possessed. the most
liberal opinions on the subject,—who were at all times
willing to merge their own private interestain the general
good.—(Cheers.) Men like Mr. Herbert—(Cheers)—
Mr. Wall, Lord Folkestone, and others, were in fact
model specimens of country gentlemen, and as such,
nothing was to be feared from them in the shape of an
exercise of undue influence.—(Cheers.) He had thus
offered an explanation of • the two acts which had given
such offence, and would only add, that though he might
have lost four or five 'votes by the course he had adopted,
be had gained twenty-fold on the•other hand, by the in-
dependent line of policy he had pursued.---(Cheers.)
