) SWANSEA.—TUESDAY.

Election of Councillors to take the place* of those that
go out :—This town and neighbourhood have been, for the
last week, in a state of excitement not much inferior to last
years' elections for the municipal appointments, there being
twelve candidates in nomination to fill up the six vacancies
of Councillors—namely, three in the Upper, and three in
the Lower Ward. The polling commenced at nine in the
Lower Ward, the Mayor presiding, and, in the Upper,
Mansell Phillips, Esq., presided. It continued with great
spirit until four o'clock, when the books were closed, and the
result was that the following gentlemen were duly elected :
UPPER WARD. LOWER WARD.
Thomas E.Thomas, Gent. 180'John Grove, Gent.......... 169
John Richardson, merchant 177 D. Sanders, ship-agent, 154
Wm. Moyse, ship-owner 140 R. Aubrey, coal-merchant 123
I am glad to say that the result, as far as regards the
Liberal cause, has been most favourable, two only out of the
six being considered Tories ; and, as the constituency are
three-fourths Reformers, it has given great satisfaction. The
greatest credit is due to the upright and impartial conduct
of the Mayor, and Mr. Phillips, having conducted the pro-
ceedings of the day to the satisfaction of all parties.
