PORTSMOUTH,

The present contest, notwithstanding the desertion
of their duty by the three quiescent wards, is a gain
of three to the Tories. Portsmouth and St. Mary's
stand as they did, but St. Paul's gives three good men
and true for three Radicals. Portsmouth Herald
(Tory paper).

SOUTHAMPTON.
In most of the wards the Tomes obtained a majority,
but in St. Mary's the Liberals triumphed signally.

WORCESTER.

There were contests in three of the Wards, but the
political constitution of the Council remains unaltered
.each party having gained and lost one, viz., the
Liberals in St. Nicholas and the Conservatives in All
Saints.

MONMOUTH.
Messrs, Goode, Probyri, and Roberts, were re-
elected councillors for Monmouth, and Mr. Whiting
was chosen in the place of Edwards. These gentlemen
are all Tories, and the substitution of Mr. Whiting for
Mr. Edwards arose from the latter gentleman having
committed the unpardonable sin of voting for the Li-
beral Mayor, at the last PPlll.o3ted election for that
office, in Monmouth. No opposition was offered on this
occasion.

TAM WORTH.
Not only have the three retiring Councillors (all
Reformers) been re-elected by large majorities, but the
place of the retiring Peelite been filled up by the elec-
tion of a staunch Liberal. Sir Robert Peel and his
friends are enraged beyond description at this defeat.
They fully calculated on electing ractpbers of their own
party to fill the corporation 6%CeS, and they cannot but
acknowledge that the success of the Liberals 4 to
them a " heavy blow and a great discouragement."
Long and pale faces are the order of the day among
them, while throughout the land the defeat of Peel in
his own stronghold will be held by Reformers t,e be a
great victory of principle over corrupt influence, The
Councillors re-elected are Messrs. Francis Hunter,
William Henry Wain, and Richard Barrett. Mr.
William Ka& is the new Councillor.

Stn,—Having laid before my Lords Commissioners of
the Admiralty your letter of this date, calling their Lord-
ships' attention, by direet.on of the Committee of the
General Shipowners' Society, to the present continued
prevalence of easterly winds, and to the circumstance of
there being many ships delayed in consequence in the
chops of the Channel, which may require supplies of pro-
visions, Ike., I am commanded to acquaint you, for the in-
formation of the Committee, that their Lordships had
anticipated this application by ordering the Meteor steam

ing to the relief of the ships so detained ; and I am to add
that the Pantaloon will be ordered by this night's post
with provisions and water for the relief of any ships in the
chops of the Channel, that may be in want of them.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
