CANTERBURY, Nov. 1.

The election of the Town Councillors in place of
tl3ole who retire in rotation, fell on the following gen-
tlemen :—Mr. Bowman, Mr. C. N. Miette, Mr. Wil-
liam Plummer, Mr. T. Wilkinson (all re-elected), and
6,11 Mr. Mathews, who takes th, place of Mr. Smithson
kit Tory), and Mr. Austen, who succeeds Mr. B.
hliette. Thus the election'has given one more Liberal
than before, showing that but for the old freemen,
litany of whom do not possess the qualification of bur-
Pases, the Tory cause would be extket in the metro-
Dothan city, notwithstanding the Cathedral influence.

MANCHESTER.
There was no contest except in New Cross Ward,
where the united Tory and Radical forces were marshalled
in favour of Mr. James Wroe and the Rev. James Schole-
field, The allied forces, however, were not so successful
ea thin occasion as at the recent election of Commis-
sioners of Police in that district ; and the out-going
Councillors were re-elected by fair majorities.—Man-
chester Guardian.

LANCASTER, FaInAY.
The town has been in a state of great excitement
all this morning, the election of six candidates for the
/Icancies in the Town Council having been keenly
contested. Four Tories have been returned, being
fourth part of the whole body of Councillors.—Lancas-
ter Guardian.

DOVER, Nov. 1.
Yesterday the election of six Councillors took place.
An of the gentlemen who are now returned have been
te•clected, so that there is neither gain nor loss to either
party. We candidly confess that we are disappointed at
this issue ; for we had calculated on a gain of two or
three members on the Liberal side. Tory bribery and
corruption, however, have proved too powerful, we re-
gret to say, for the purity principle on which the canvass
has been conducted by their opponents.—Dover Chro-
nicle.

BRISTOL.
Bristol has manfully done her duty. Thirteen Con-
aervatives have been elected, and three Radicals.—Tory
