ELECTION INTELLIGENCE,

COVENTRY.
The polling commenced at 8 o'clock yesterday morning,
and resulted, as will be seen below, in the return of Mr.
Treherne, the Conservative candidate, who has undoubtedly
been all along the favourite of the mob. From a very early
hour in the morning until the close of the poll the excite-
ment was intense, but although there was a great deal of
clamour and noise, and much of that peculiar kind of aLuse
which is characteristic of all places where the suffrage
fr
vested in the "freemen," there was r o seriouo mischief
done by either party. The first statement issued was by
Mr. Treherne's committee :--- _

At this period of the
day twiny of the out-voters began to
arrive from Birmingham and other towns, and the next
statement, the first issued by Mr. Peel's committee, was at
HALF 'PAST TEN O'CLOCK.

At this time it seemed to bo taken for granted that the
Conservative candidate west win, The following was the
statement at

The official declaration was rc ado by the Mayor a few
minutes before five o'clock--
Treherne .. 2,263 I Peel • • • • 2,129
The announcement of the numbers was received with
much apparent satisfaction.
The number of voters on the register is about 5,000, but
it has been reduced by retnovalo) Sl'
candidate a
Mr. Treherne and Mr. Peel addressed their supporters
from the windows of their respective hotels.
Such is the result of this election, somewhat unexpected
by the Liberal party, who were fortunate i."l having as their
wan so closely allied to one of tie greatest of
English statesman of modern times ; but, strangt as it may
appear, Free Trade lost Mr. Peel his election.

THE BOMBAY MAIL.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

SOUTHAMPTON, OCT. 9.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-
ship Ceylon, Captain Evans, with the heavy portion
of the above mails, has arrived. She brings 132
passengers, 5 packages of specie, value £990, and
1,374 packages of cargo, including 1,126 bales of
raw silk, value £lOO,OOO sterling.

The Ceylon esperienced from Cape St. Vincent
to Finisterre strong northerly winds and heavy
head sea. Across the Bay of Biscay north-westerly
winds, unsettled weather, with heavy westerly
swell, and low barometer.

Her Majesty's ships Reven Meanee, Pysehe,
Phoebe, and Foxhound were at Malta. At Gibral-
tar the Procris, also the Italian steam frigates Vic-
tor Emmanuel, Garibaldi, Regina, Carlo Alberto,
Maria Adelaide, Due de Geneva, and two others.

The Ceylon spoke on the 29th ult, H.M.S. Chanti-
cleer ; on the 30th, H.M.S. Orontes ; on the Ist
inst. the s.s. Poonah ; and on the sth the s.s. Pera,
and an English barque showing V.F.8.C., steering
north-west, desired to be reported all well.
The British brig Flying Cloud, from Odessa, ar-
rived at Gibraltar on the 25th. The master reports
that on the 24th August, whilst rounding Cape St.
Angelo, in the Morea, intending to take the service
passage between the mainland and the island of
Cergio, he saw and heard three volleys of musketry
fired at a distance of not more than half a mile from
his ship. The master believed that the firing was
from pirates attacking some vessel, and immediately
put his ship about and stood out to sea. He also
reports that the barque, Waterloo, the only vessel
in company with tho Flying Cloud, that day en-
tered the Channel about an hour before him, and
he therefore entertained fears as to her safety.
The sailing of the war sloop Consuelo, with amu-
nition for Algeciras and Malaga, had been counter-
manded in consequence of the favourable answer to
the ultimatum demanded by the Spanish Govern-
ment from that of the Emperor of Morocco.

The British barque, Eliza Kinch, bound to
Santos, passed Gibraltar on the 2d; she picked up,
on Sept. 30, the boat of the schooner Ann (of 'Freon),
which vessel foundered in lat. 38 44 N., long. 4.22,
being then 10 days from Girgenti, with a cargo of
sulphur, bound to Cork or Falmouth. The Eliza
Kinch cast off the boat at the entrance of the bay
of Gibraltar, and proceeded on her voyage.

Presentation of the Coventry Address to
H R.H. the Princess of Wales.

(THIS DAY )

The deputation from Coventry, headed by the Mayor
(Thomas Soden, Esq.) had the honour of an audience to-
day, to present to her Royal Highness the congratulatory
address, executed in woven fabric, as a means of repre-
senting the capabilities of the Coventry loom, the skill of
its workmen, and also to show that although the city had
passed through an ordeal of unparalleled severity, yet that
the misfortune had not had the effect of damping either
the energy or the loyalty of its citizens.
As a specimen of English manufacture, the address is
probably the most elaborate and wonderful piece of work
ever produced by the looms of Coventry. The text, which
is written in the Gothic hand of this period, is enclosed on
all sides by a border of interlaced golden branches, which
form a series of clasped medallions, in which are introduced
alternately, the badge and monogram of the Prince of Wales.
Between the medallions the symmetry of the border is pre-
served by sprays of leaves and flowers, of various colours.
In the centre of the border, at the top, are the arms of the
City of Coventry—per pale,gules, and vert, an elephant, on
his back a castle triple•towered, or, surmounted by the
crest, a cat, or. On each side of the shield is an ortrich
feather with the motto " Ich Dien," as represented on early
seals. These plumes have been always associated with the
arms of the City, in remembrance of the intimate connexion
which it was its honour to enjoy with Ed ward the Black
Prince. The banners on each side represent the " Danne-
brog," the national standout of Denmark. At the foot of
the design are the Sword and Mace —the civic insig-
nia; on the dexter side of which are arms of
the Prince of Wales—England quartering Scotland
and Ireland, with an inescutcheon of Saxony ; and over
all a label of three points, the distinctive mark of the eldest
son. On the sinister side are the arms of the kingdom of
Denmark—or, semee of hearts, gules, three lions passant,
azure. In the execution of the work two 900 Jacquard
machines have been employed, carrying 2,188 cords, and
requiring 16,372 cards; and the shuttle has had to traverse,
in completing the whole design, from 10,000 to 11,000
times.

The casket containing the address is another triumph of
Coventry skill, and founded, like the enrichment of the
address itself, on historical examples; the period chosen is
the era comprising British, Saxon, Scandinavian art, when
Danish history became so closely woven with Bri-
tish, and Danish kings reigned in England. The
details of silver filagree, the lobed crystals, amethysts,
carbuncles, and ivory, with which it is enriched, are in
keeping with many beautiful remains exhibited in the Loan
Museum of 1862; and the national museums and private
cabinets of England and Denmark contain many choice
examples of this character. " Tennyson's Idylls of the
Sing," based upon British periods of history, is chosen for
the illustration ; the design, by Tenniel, represents the
crowning portion of Enid's devotion to her wounded hus-
band, the Prince Gerant.
Her Royal Highness and suite having entered the re-
ception-room, and the formal introduction made, the mayor
then presented the address, which was as follows :
" To HER ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCESS OF WALES.
" May it please your Royal Highness,—
" We, the mayor, aldermen, and citizens of the city of
Coventry in Council assembled, beg to express to your
Royal Highness our warmest congratulations upon your
Royal Highness's marriage with his Royal Highness the
Prince of Wales.
" We join with all our hearts in the general welcome
of your Royal Highness to this country—a welcome which
will have been to your Royal Highness the most grateful
proof of the satisfaction with which the august allianca is
everywhere regarded.
" We rejoice that while it renews an intimate connection
between the Royal Families of Denmark and England, it
is also hailed with enthusiasm by the peopleof both nations
—a unison of feeling which cannot fail to promote the good-
will and friendly intercourse so long subsisting between
them.
" Our ardent prayer is that the event may be blessed
with happiness to your Royal Highness and the Prince,
imparting joy to our beloved Queen and wide-spread
benefits to this kingdom,
" Given under our Common Seal the 24th day of March,
in the year of our Lord 1863.
"THOS. SODEN, Mayor (Common Seal)."
The address was received in the most gracious manner,
and then a splendid watch, of Coventry manufacture, was
presented by Miss Soden (daughter of the Mayor) on the
part of the ladies of the City.
This present, like the address, was another splendid ape-
This
of Coventry taste. On the back of the. cases wearoswn
en-
graved a monogram surmounted by the Prandcleasms
• onds the
the former composed of brilliants and rose
latter of brilliants, rose diamonds,. rubies,
. and emeralds •
on the case there are in all 60 brilliants and 64 rose dia-
monds. The dial is of chased gold, with black painted
hours.
