to Jearn that so far as the revision of the lisp of West
Riding voters has yet proceeded, they have obtained
great success over their opponents. Last week we "
published a. clear gain to the Reformers ofthree hun-
dred and twenty-three votes. Since that result was
ascertained, the Revising Barristers have Visited the
gain has been still. fur•

and in the Bradford district the gain to the same party
is estimated at 150. We are willing to -trulce some de-
ductions from these computed gains at Halifix and Brad-
ford, on the ground of over sanguine cahulation ; but
still the total gain to the Reformers up to Thursday last
will be between 500 and COO votes. The eturn autho-
