NORWICH.

" The choice of 16 Councillors, under the Act, took
place on Wednesday last. Of the sixteen places to be
supplied, ten had been held by Liberals and six by Conser-
vatives. The result of the elections has been to give eight
for the Conservatives and eight to the Whig-Radicals, thus
increasing the Conservative party in the Council Chamber
two." This is the account furnished by the Norfolk Chro-
nide, a Tory paper, whose matter of fact statements although,
of course, somewhat spiced by party, are always substan-
tially accurate, and such as may be implicitly relied upon.
There were, we learn, contests in four wards only, viz.—

the third, fourth, sixth, and eighth. In two out of the four
the Tories were successful.

PONTEFRACT.

The four retiring members are Liberals ; two of those
returned are Liberals and two Conservatives.

EAST RETFORD.

On Wednesday last, the election of four councillors for
this borough took place in the Town-Hall. The struggle
was between Mr. Flower and Mr. Hudson, the former hav-
ing the advantage until about three o'clock, when Mr. H.'s
friends poured in, and won by a majority of 12.
THE JOKE CAPITAL !—lt appears that in the Registra-
tion Court, at Mansfield, out of thirteen objections made
by the Tories for the town of Mansfield, five of them were
their own friends ! On discovering their mistake, they
wished to to withdraw their opposition, but the Liberals ar-
gued, that as the case was brought before the Court, and
service of notice of objection had been proved, they would
take up the objections themselves, and the five names were
accordingly expunged. In that division of the county
(North Nottinghamshire), the Liberals have cut off 186
more than the Tories.—Doncaster Gazette.
STOCKPORT.—The Reformers have maintained their
ground here.

ject of law for making some alterations in the Tariff of
Customs.

AUGSBURG, OCT. 27.—Sir Robert Peel and his family
arrived here yesterday afternoon. In the evening there
was a concert at the hotel at which he put up ; the com-
pany were disappointed in their hopes of seeing the Right
Hon. Baronet, who is on his return to London, to be pre-
sent at the opening of the Session of Parliament.
AUGSBURG, OCT. 28.—His Royal Highness Prince
William, eldest son of the Prince of Orange, arrived here
yesterday from Innspruck, on his return from Italy.
BERLIN, OCT. 23.—We find, by the last letters from
Odessa, that the Emperor Nicholas has changed the first
plan of his journey ; and instead of taking the road by
land, along the Kuban to lekaterinodar, has sailed direct
to Gelindschik, the port of the Caucasus, between Anapa
and Sudjouk-Kale. It is conjectured that he will there
meet General Weliaminoff, who, with a division of 10,000
or 12,000 men, lately made a diversion from the Govern-
ment of Astrachan to Gelindschik, where there is now a
fortified camp. No particulars are known here of the rea-
sons for this change in the course first proposed.
VIENNA, OCT. 25.—Court and public are here highly
gratified by the reception which Archduke John met with
from the Sultan. The audience took place on the Bth.
The Sultan made three steps to meet the Archduke, em-
braced him, presented to him his son and heir-apparent,
and declared, " that this heir would, after his (the Sultan's)
death, continue the close alliance of Turkey w►th the House
of Austria." The letters written by the Archduke's suite
teem with accounts of the Sultan's courteousness and mag-
nificence. On the 10th there was a superb fete given at
Beglerbey, when the Sultan made the Archduke sit by his
side. The Archduke is expected here by the 20th of next
month.
An unusual inundation has taken place at the quick-
silver mines of Idria. The works are completely put a
stop to.
