election that most people would be sorry to see them dis-
pent,ed- with, yet they swell the cost to the candidates
so considerably, and so frquenzly provoke hostile en-
counters in the streets, that it is doubtful whether their
use in West Surrey
will survive the present election.

The bands were called off on both sides soon after
the finalereeult of the roll, and no breach of the peaCe
was apprehended when our final dispatch left last
night; but serious riots took place at Farnham and
Godalming after the closing of the poll on Tuesday
night. The " Blue" version is, that a lot of " Roughs"
from Guildford and Godalming, in the interest of the
Conservative candidates, finding the result of the poll
extremely favourable to Colonel Challoner, went over
to Farnham to create a diversion, and to enjoy the
luXury of a fight with the Fasnham Radicals. They
went armed with bludgeons;-end aftershe_ closing of

The infuriated populace then commenced aunmaintluct
upon the windows of the Bush, and smashed all those
upon the ground floor and many of those in the upper,
storeys. It was fortunate for the peace of the town that
the " Roughs" did not again venture out, or, in the ex-
cited, temper of the townspeople, lives might have been
loft. As it was, several persons received severe injuries
on both sides, and it was rumoured that ono or two
lives were lost, bat this report is without foundation.
The police were sent round to close the public-houses,
and tranquillity was restored for the rest of the evening.
Yesterday morning it was agreed by the friends of all
the candidates to withdraw their bands of music and
banners, and the friends of the Conservative candidates
haviag sent away what the Farnham people called the
" hired mob," who had come over to create a riot, the
polling wept on very quietly during yesterday. Very
few voters presented themselves at the opening of the
.poll, and op to half-past ten scarcely half a dozen per-
sont had voted. A large concourse of persons assem-
bled' in the streets to view the broken windows of the
Bubb, and the " Blues" of the lower class were hanging
aboatin great force, prepared to resent any interference
with their right to vote for the Liberal and Free-trade
eatAitiate. The town of Farnham will be remembered
-as th,e_ birthplace, residence, and grave of William Cob-
bett, which may account for its being a stronghold of
Libecralismin that part of West Surrey.

The Liberal candidates were here again in a
majoeity throughout the day. Soon after four, come
low fellows: commenced an attack upon the " Blue"
bane,. The popular feeling being stroegly in favour of
Colonel Challoner, here as well as Farnham the crowd
set tepon the "Roughs," and a desperate combat en-
sued, in which bludgeons were liberally used on both
sides, and showers of stones were thrown. The Mayor
of Godalming (Hr. Foster) was preparing to read the
Riot Act, but being unsupported by a sufficient police
force. no beneficial effects seemed likely to follow.
Here, as at Farnham, the" Blues" were victorious, and
drove the " Roughs" into the yard of the Angel lon,
the Conservative house. An attack was then made
upon. the windows of the Angel, which were almost
all broken. Mr. Henry Hackshaw, an active member
of Colonel Ma/lanced committee, ordered the "Blue"
band out of the town, and walked at the head of a
procession, with the view of .drawing off the populace
from the scene of mischief. The attempt was success-
ful, and peace was restored. A number of the trades-
men of the town were sworn is as special cerstables,
and about six o'clock the town, although in an excited
state, was tolerably quiet. The same arrangements
were made as at Farnham for preserving the peace yes-
terdav; by 'withdrawing the bands and flogs, and no
breac a of the peace occurred in the course of the day.
