CITY OF DUBLIN.

THURSDAY MORNING.—Last' night the High Sheriff,
George Roe, Lg., accompanied by his assessor, Mr.
Coats, with the counsel and agents for the candidates,
assembled at the Session-house, in Green-street, to
make up the polling books, in order to declare the re-
turn. So vast, however, is the number of objections to
be argued, that they find it quite impossible to dispose
of them. The final decision of the poll cannot be made
known till in the course of this day. No numbers are yet
given, and it would be impossible to obtain any accu-
rate return. The friends of Mr. Gregory appear still
to entertain some faint hopes of a small majority over
Mr. Reynolds, the Repealer ; but the latter is quite
confident that he will be declared one of the sitting
Members this day. In that case, which is almost cer-
tain, Air. Gregory is to petition against the return.
The Conservatives admit that Reynolds has a majority
of three hundred, and the objected votes can scarcely
affect that.
