MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.

DEAL.—The Liberals were here again triumphant on Sa.
turday.
DERBY.—The Reformers were again successful.
LEEDS, JAN. 11.—This day the election of councillors to fill
up the vacancy in our Corporation, occasioned by the election
of aldermen from the councillors, took place. The Leeds
Municipal, as now completed, stands thus :—Reformers, the
Mayor, 38 Councillors, and 12 Aldermen. Tories, 9 Coun-
cillors, and 4 Aldermen.

MAIDSTONE.—The Maidstone Town Council met yesterday,
for the purpose of nominating persons to be recommended to
the Privy Council Rs Magistrates under the New Act, to fill
up a vacancy in the list of Aldermen, occasioned by one of the
gentlemen elected the week before last, Mr. John Allen, de-
clining to serve ; and to appoint watch, fund, and other com-
mittees. The list of Magistrates proposed by Mr. Alderman
Green (a Liberal) comprised the names of the three Tory
gentlemen, who are the Magistrates appointed under the old
Corporation, Messrs. P. Conall, J. Brenchley, and J. Mares ;
and in addition, those of Messrs. Lewis Cooper, Dr. Sibbald,
Alderman T. Smith (of Tovil), and Alderman J. Warwick—
all Liberals. Mr. Green included the old Magistrates on the
ground of excluding party-feeling from all consideration on
this question. The Tories vainly endeavoured to get a re-
jected Tory candidate, who was made a catspaw by the party
in the election for Councillors, tacked to the list, which, after
having been seconded by Mr. Collis, was carried by a majority
of 14 to 3. In consequence of the unblushing apostacy of
some pseudo-Whigs, Mr. Tassell was elected by 10 to 8. The
conduct of Mr. Collis is viewed with especial abhorrence, and
is the theme of every conversation.

PORTSMOUTH.—The election for thirteen councillors for five
of the wards of this borough took place to-clay. Eleven Re-
formers and two Tories are added to the borough council.

WisrEAcn.—By a reference to the Report of the Commis-
sioners on Corporations, and also to the evidence taken by the
parliamentary Committee, it will be found that this corporation
stood very high, if not the highest, in regard to the manner in
which its affairs have been conducted.

WINDSOR.--The Windsor Express asserts that the late
Election furnishes examples of the most barefaced treachery.
Amongst other instances of the improper influences, the fol-
lowing is stated to have occurred :—" Messrs. Jennings,
Clarke, and Tull, the three of the faction who were candidates
for the In-ward, in the course of their canvass, pressed for
votes in the most earnest manner, and actually held out that
the King interested himself in the result of the election ! We
believe this assertion to be a falsehood, fabricated 'for the pur-
pose of prevailing on persons who depended upon the Castle,
either directly or indirectly, for any portion of their business."
Our contemporary adds,—" Of course we are ignorant as to
who are the persons in the Royal household who lend them-
selves to such acts as are related, although we have no doubt
we could easily select them. That they are persons high in
the Royal confidence is unquestionable, or they would never
dare to send off nineteen attendants--aye, and some of them,
such as the footmen and pages, close attendants upon the Royal
person. Can it be possible that their absence from their usual
duty for two whole days was unknown to either of their Ma-
jesties, because there are personal daily attendants to each in
the above list? Again, if their absence was known, can the
object for which they were absent be concealed, or was it
attempted to be concealed ?"
