DINGWA. , APRIL 8.--This day the eeclaration of the re-
sult of the poll for a Member to represent the Combined Coun-
ties of Ross and Cromarty in Parliament took place.
The SHERIFF having stated that he had that mornin-., in
presence of the agents for the candidates, opened the loll=
books, and was now ready to state the result, Mr. Stewart,
writer, Tain, advanced, and said .he had on the pal t of
ton, to enter a protest against the proceedings in this elect on.
In this document it was stated, " Ist. That in reckoning the
numbers of the electors who voted, certain persons being 1, gal
electors, who gave their votes in favour of the said Wiihuin
Mackenzie, have not been taken into computation in stating
the poll. 2d. That persons not qualified to vote, or legally
disqualified, were permitted to vote for the other eandiiate,
Thomas Mackenzie, Esq., of Appleeross. 3d. That the said
Thomas Mackenzie, Esq., and persons who in law are viewed
as his agents, have been guilty of treating and entertaining
with meat and drink a great many of the electors who voted,
or agreed to vote, for him. 4th. That by intimidation, coer-
cion, and other corrupt and illegal practices, a number
of voters were prevented from coming forward to
vote for the said William Mackenzie. sth. That by
bribery, intimidation, and other illegal practices, many
voters were coerced or concussed, and induced to ten-
der their votes in favour of the said Thomas Mackenzie, some
of whom were under pledge and promise.to vote for the said
William Mackenzie, and others were placed under restraint,
and prevented from giving their votes in favour of the said
William Mackenzie ; and for these, and other reasons, the
said William Mackenzie protested that he is the legally-elected
Representative for the said Combined Counties ; and I now
take instruments in the hands of Donald Stewart, Notary
Public."

Mr. GILLANDERS said he would. on the part of Aplecross,
in due time make an answer to the protest.
The &MIFF then stated the result of the poll to lie as
follows :

For Mr. Mackenzie of Applecross
For Mr. Mackenzie of Muirton

Majority
He thereupon declared Thomas Mackenzie, Esq., of Apple_
cross, to be the Member whom he should return to Parliament
for the Combined Counties.

The SHERIFF having stated the numbers,.
Mr. Mama:cm, of Applecross, proceeded to address the
meeting. To the large majority of electors in my favour
(said he) I am under many obligations, and to them I return
my best thanks. To the minority also lam indebted for the
civility I have received from them on all occasions. It has been
truly said that comparisons are odious ; but I would appeal to
the electors of 1832 whether, if it had not beer, for the great
exertions and patriotism of my friend Mr. Munro, of Novar,
at no small sacrifice to himself, hundreds of persons would not
have been placed on the roll, who had no eonnection with the
county, and who even now would have swamped us.
Mr. MACKENZIE, of Muirton, then stood forward. He
said, Gentlemen, though vanquished, I am not .subdued.
Mr. Mackenzie, of Applecross, has to-day stated that this is
a great victory for Conservatism. This defeat is to me no
personal annoyance, nor can I consider it a defeat to the Lib.s-
ral party, Applecross having placed the contest on religions,
not on political grouqds, and as much delusion prevails on this
subject. It was well known to us on both sides of the hustings:
at the nomination that the contest was a neck-and-neck affair..
I may say that the result has been as much a mater of surprise
to some of my opponents as it is to myself. I attribute it to
two causes. lam assured 'by my Committee, and I sincerely
believe it myself, that about eighty votes have been lost to me
in consequence of broken pledges of electors. How can the.
majority be accounted for, in the few dais that intervened'.
since the nomination day? It can be explained only—besides:
another cause which I shall mention—by extraordinary intimi-•
de floc and coercion exercised on part of the constituency, and!
by bribery.---( Cheers.) Theie has not yet been time for then
consideration of these cases, but an investigation shall be err-
tered into, and a summary example made, where necessary.
The second cause to which I ascribe the majority, is the delis.
sion so artfully practised, but which I am sure the gentlemen
on the opposite side themselves laugh at, by raising the sense-
less cry of " The Church in danger"—a ,cry which in this
county has been based on the political statement of my honour-
able opponent, and supported by the votes of several of the:
clergy. I sincerely hope that the delusion to which I have
alluded is but temporary—and that it will pass away before we,
meet here again. The field will thus be open for a fair co•.s_
test on public principle, and I now declare that, wheneve r a
dissolution of Parliament shall take place, I shall be pre',;ared
to enter the, lists with my Protestant friend—( Laughte r)—or
any other opponent. I hope I shall have more success, for I
have canvassed only three weeks, while Applecross has been
actively in the field for three years. Mr. Mackenaie then re-
turned his sincere thanks to those electors who d.'id him the ho-
nour to support him, for which he should eve? remain deeply
grateful ; and the Hon. Gentleman retired. amidst loud cheer-
ing and waving of hats.
Mr. HORATIO Ross of Rossie then came forward to address
the people, but could not for a long time obtain a hearing.
The noise was so great, that any detailed statement was out of
the question. The populace seemed so determined and info-
riated, that fears were entertained that a riot might ensue.
One of the Magistrates pressed forward through the crowd,
and stated that if any disturbance took place, he would hold
Mr. Ross of Rossie to be the cause, and be implored him to
withdraw. The clamour and excitement became still greater
small stones and dirt were thrown in the direction of the hus-
tings, and all further attempts at being heard were evidently
impossible. The Sheriff accordingly declared the proceedings
to be over, and admonished the people to preserve order and.
decorum. Mr. Stewart Mackenzie repeated the same injunc-
tion, reminding them of their former good conduct, and the
multitude gradually dispersed.

PUBLIC DINNER.

DINGWALL, TUESDAY EVENING.—The friends of the new
Governor of Ceylon entertained him to a public and fP.rewell
dinner, at Dingwall, this day. With Mr. Stewart Mackenzie
the liberal-miuded electors of Ross-shire had fought many a
battle, and canvassed many a public question; and, now that
the connection was to be dissolved, the parting scene was one
of strong emotion.

The Chair was taken by Roderick Macleod, Esq., M.P.,
supported by Seaforth, Sir Cohn Mackenzie of Kilcoy, Mr.
Mackenzie of Muirton, General Sir Hugh Fraser, Captain
Fraser of Balnain, Mr. Sheriff Jardine, Mr. Keith Stewart

NORTHERN AND CENTRAL BANK, MANCHES-
TER.—THURSDAY.—A meeting of the Shareholders of the
Northern and Central Bank was held this morning at Lady-
man's Hotel, Bridge-street, for the purpose of taking the
conduct of the Directors into consideration, and adopting such
a course as may be considered most beneficial to the Share-
holders under the present state of affairs. Mr. Cooke, of Li-
verpool, was in the chair. Resolutions strongly condemna-
tory of the conduct of the Directors were passed, and a
Committee was appointed to communicate with them, request-
ing them to afford every necessary information respecting the
affairs of the Company to the Committee on behalf of the
Shareholders; and in the event of their refusing so to do, a
general meeting of the Shareholders is to be called, with a

a
in
view to filing bill Chancery against the Directors. It
was stated that nearly all the officers of the Bank were heavy
debtors to the concern, on account of advances made to them ;
and that if the Shareholders had received advances in the

same proportion as the Directors have, that a capital of no
less than twenty-four millions would have been necessary.

BEDFORD, APRIL 22.—At a Vestry held yester-

COURT or COMMON COUNClL.—Yesterday a
Court was held for the dispatch of business. Under-Sheriff
Wire wished to address the Lord Mayor upon a subject of
considerable interest. The Court appointed for last Thurs-
day week in the calendar had been postponed, in consequence
of the notice which had been received, that the Commissioners
of the fund, called Queen Anne's Bounty, would meet on that
day, and the intention of the Lord Mayor and some of the
Aldermen, to attend upon the occasion as Commissioners. As
the matter was of importance, it would be desirable that his
Lordship should state the result of the Meeting, and whether
the right of the Lord Mayor and Aldermen to sit as Commis-
sioners had been recognised. The Lord Mayor stated he went
to the Meeting of Commissioners, accompanied by Ald.ermen
Wood, Sir Peter Laurie, Cowan, and Sir C. Marshall, and
was received by the Archbishop of Canterbury and several of
the Bishops with the utmost courtesy. Their right ',vas fatly
recognised, and instructions were given that notic,es of the
Meeting should be regularly sent to them.—( H ear, hear.)
Under-Sheriff Wire expressed his satisfaction at the recog-
nition of the right, and only had to add his hope that the Lordl
Mayor and Aldermen would regularly attend, to carry into.
effect the Act of Parliament, and that they would impress
upon the Bounty Board the necessity that existed for the re-
valuation of the livings._(Dear, hear.) Mr. Anderton rose
to move a vote of thanks to Mr. Wire, for the information
which he had given to the Court upon the question which, but
for that gentleman's activity and research, Would have re-
mained a mystery to the Corporation. Mr. Prior soconded.
the motion. Some other unimportant business having been
transacted the Court adjourned.

- Hatnburgh papers of the 18th inst. speak of gr(at
falls of snow which had drifted to the depth of 10, 15, and 20
feet. In some places the tops of the houses were entirely
hidden from view, and access to them was only to be obi Lined
by means of shafts made through the snow with great lA. bour,
as in a mine. Many of the occupants of the one story .Inouses
were obliged to come out by the chimney.
German papers to the 16th have advices fcc xn Con-
stantinople of the 2sd, which state that Lord Poi ponby had
declined to leave Constantinople immediately, au

diplomatic agents in that city were unusually busy. , The new
tariff is supposed to be the object of their disc assions. No
hopes here entertained at Vienna on the 10th t' Jet the Arch-
duke Palatine would recover.
