TRIUMPH of REFORM at BRISTOL

BRISTOL, Nov. 1, FIVE O'CLOCK.—I have just time to
enclose you the result of our municipal elections this day.
Sixteen Councillors went out of office, eight Reformers and
eight Tories. ; of the latter five only have been re-elected.
The Reformers have succeeded in returning all their old
friends, and have gained upon the Tories three new Mem-
bers. The gains too have been in the two chief wards as
to property and the number of voters, viz., Clifton Ward,
which has nine representatives, and Bristol Central Ward,
having the same number. Tremendous exertions were
made on both sides. The efforts of the Tory party during
the last two hours were unparalleled, but happily unsuc•
cessful. The return of Mr. Visger at ;the head of the poll
is a terrible blow to the old monopolist party in this city, as
no man has more strenuously exerted himself against the
old system of corruption and monopoly. The unjust di-
vision of the city into wards by the Revising Barrister last
year deprived us for a time of our proper weight in the
Town-councils ; but another election like the present will
give our friends the majority. As it is the Liberal minority,
backed by the weight of public opinion in the city, already
rules. The general course of our municipal body has been
on the whole satisfactory during the past year ; it will be
still more so next. Our Tory ex-eorporators are aghast at
the result
