SOU7HAMPTON ELEC7ION.

DECLARATION OF THE POLL.

The official declaration of the poll took place on
Saturday at the Town-hall. The Sheriff, accompa-
nied by the Mayor, entered the hall at 11 o'clock.
The Under Sheriff was occupied nearly two hours
in casting up the poll-books. A great crowd had
in the meantime assembled, being nearly as nume-
rous as at the nomination. The Lord Mayor was
present with his principal supporters. Considerable
impatience was manifested by the meeting, who
amused themselves before the proceedings com-
menced with various cries, which excited loud laugh-
ter.

The polling books having been cast up,
The SHERIFF said, I declare the state of the poll
to be as follows :
Rose
Mangles
Majority —6B
I therefore declare that Wm. Anderson Rose, Esq.,
has been duly elected a burgess to represent this
borough in the House of Commons. (Great cheering.)
The LORD MAYOR then rose and said—Mr. Sheriff
and electors of the borough of Southampton,—You
may readily understand with what feelings of emo-
tion and anxiety I rise in this crowded assembly to
return you my sincere thanks for the important re-
sult which has been announced by your worthy
sheriff. We have heard the result of one of the
most tremendous struggles that has ever taken place
in the history of our constitutional country. You
have nobly fought this battle, and when I told Capt.
Mangles the Say before yesterday in this hall that
he would be beaten, I truly represented the state of
feeling iu Southampton. Capt. Mangles came to
Southampton, and the result of the election, had
you returned him to the Commons House of Parlia-
ment, would have been to make Southampton the
pocket borough of the South Western Company.
(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Gentlemen, Captain
Mangles has fought the battle—(" nobly")—with
energy. His friends did all that any mortals could
do to place him in the position which I have the
honour to occupy to-day. I GO not underrate your
exertions or the importance of the victory one iota
when I say that there was never greater anxiety,
greater energy, or zeal, displayed in any contest
than was displayed by my opponents ; but they
failed. You have extricated yourselves from the
difficulty which beset you, and you have placed me
in the proud position of representing honestly,
faithfully, and zealously, the true interests of the
borough of Southampton. When. I say that I think
I understand what the interests of Southampton
are, after the opportunities which I have.had of
addressing numerous meetings of the electors, giv-
ing them opportunities, on every occasion, of put-
ting questions to me upon all subjects affectieg
your interests, affecting my political opinions, and
affecting the responsibilities which I should incur
were I elected your representative. And I think I
am entitled to say that the result of this election
shows that Southampton is going to be what it
ought to be—free from the stigma which has at-
tached to it, that men could not express their opi-
nions without being subject to mob law. (Loud
cheers.) Gentlemen, that has been settled, and we
have now to consider, unitedly, what is best for
Southampton. I respect my opponents; they have
fought, and fought nobly, and have been de-
feated. But it is now my province to do all that
can that Southampton shall be faithfully and
properly represented, and that you shall have
all the advantages of an independent member of Par-
liament. (Cheers.) And I will go further and
tell Captain Mangles and the South Western Com-
pany that if I live—that if lam sparedwoiftahneynemrgayn

whose interests he has at heart, if he is supported by

in all he does. Gentlemen, such is the support I shall
require from you, and if I have it, I believe that no
legislature can dare say that Southampton,with tf. e
important position it occupies, shall not have two
railways, or more. (Cheers.) And what is more,
I hope I shall have the opportunity of showing that
