ELECTION FOR CHURCHWARDEN.—This parish has
been fur the last few days a scene of considerable ex-
citement, in consequence of the Parochial Association
having brought forward a candidate in opposition to the
gentleman proposed by the old party, and every eff It
has.been used to secure his election, but all to no pur-
pose; for at the close of the poll on Friday afternoon be
was in a minority of 143, the numbers being for Mr.
Southgate 1,024, and for Mr, Howe 881. The result was
received with much cheers, arid the church bells rang
merry peals at infervals. from four o'clock until past
twelve at night; indeed so great was the joy of the more
respectable portion of the inhabitants that the subject
of the conquest over the association (which has long
ceased to be held in much respect) was made the theme
of yepeated observation. - At the termination of the poll,
Mr. Southgate, accompanied by a host of friends, went
to his committee room at the Horns Tavern, Hackney-
road, where he was received with great applause.—J.
Boston, Eiq , the'chairman, in proposing the health of the
under-churchwarden elect, Mr. Southgate, expressed the
great pleasure he had in doing so from the tact of
having known Mr. Southgate as a private friend for
some years, and had opportunities of observing the ex-
cellent manner in which he carried out his public dutier,
and felt certain that the interests of the parish could not
have fallen into better hands.—ktr.Churelawarden South-
