LINCOLN COUNTY ELECTION.

NINTII DAY.
I LINCOLN) FRIDAY, Dtc.
.Electiun
still proceeds, but the efforts of each party seem to be relaxed,
or at least used without much success. The Par/Wes, as, we
' have already noticed, have declared that they will. nut exert
themselves to bring another Man to the poll, though they
will
not refuse the offer of any freeholder who may choose to .record
his opinion of their cause by registering his vote on their side.
They have already laid aside all " the pomp and circumstan, e.
of (election) war:" The band of musicians have been dismiss.
ed—the colours, flags, and banners, " laid up in ordinary,"
and the quiet people of Lincoln are now annoyed with only one
band at a time. The leaders amongst the Thorold partystill
keep up the spirits of their 'Wends. They could, they said,
bring upwards of 1,0110 freeholders to the poll; or, what is
much the same thing, there are so many unpolled voters who
would come up to join them if they had the means of conveyance.
If zeal and energy could, independendrof Money, bring the
voters forward, the leaders of the Blues might stand a good
chance of success. They are incessant in their exertions. They
quake speeches, write nddreses, epigrams.vand song.,. but they
do not—they will not, spend money. 'flat result iss already
obvious, and will be more so before the contest terminates..._
The prose-writers of each party have givm themselves (and
their friends) a little. respite to-day : but the poets have taken
the matter up, with what effect let the following specimens
decide. The first is an answer to " The Advertisement Extra-
ordinary—(Wanted, a Head for a self-called independent Body,"
etc.) It runs thus :
" This headless body, just now wanting eyes (ayes),
" Moves slowly forward, firm and void of dread,
" And yet, •to Yorkshire great surprise,
" In fourteen days may find itself a-/iced."
The next Production is a song, to the tune of' " Come listen
to my story." It is headed by the following Motto
" Thorold tor ever !
' " Ingilby never I
" Free electors, to your standard,
"
" Rally round the heavenly Blue ;
Let independence be your motto,
" And steadily the end pursue.
" The Purple soon will fade before you,
" Its tint portends its end is near;
" Rush on, and yours will be the glori,
" Yours the conquest and the cheer.
" Free electors, do your duty,
And manfully your rights maintain;
" Scorn the wretch who bribes and flatters,
And send hint skulking home again.
" For good Sir John let all your voices
" " With joy in freedom's cause unite,
And show the world there yet are freemen
" Who dare assert their country's right."
•The muse of the Ingilby party would not be left behind on
this irnpoftant occasion, and therefore gave birth to the follow-
ing:—

" When first the Mars the Purples saw,
" They greeted with a loud he.ara
" And now the illues amongst all classes
" Are deemed a set of br'et?ling asses."
This was market-day here, and it was expected that the
Blues at least would have made a good show. on the poll. In
this,
_however, they were disappointed the whole number
polled did not exceed 139 (the smallest number on any day
since the commencement); and of tide the Purples had still the
majority.
At four o'clock the numbers appeared—
On the Day's Poll,
For Sir William Ingilby -
For Sir John 'Thorold - -
Alkjority
gross Poll.
For Sir William Ingilby . 3,787
For Sir John `Moral . . 1,32-1
Majority
As soon as the cheering which followed the declaration of
the poll had subsided,
Sir Wst. lirtillair addressed the freeholders. He was, he
said, happy again to see the numbers advancing. He continued
to augment in strength, while his adversaries declined in the
same proportion as he advanced. They had now an overwhelm-
- lag majority, which it was impossible for their adversaries to.,
beat down, Satisfied with this declaration of the opinion of the
county, he did not wish to trouble his friends further. He
wished, therefore, that those who were still anxious to vote for
him, might remain at, home and attend to their other business,
until he should have occasion to send for them, which he did
not anticipate in the prevent contest. He again thanked the
freeholders for the support they. had given hies;
.Sir R. IlEnosusaid, the Hon, Baronet had acted in a Men.
ner in which a candidate for a county never before acted. Did
they ever before hear of a candidate who published a paper
signed by himself,: in which be charges his opponents with
" subterfuge, malignity and spleen ?" Anti for what ? For
keeping the poll open, after he himself had , threatened that he
would poll to the last man.—(Cheera.)—lle would ask, did
they ever before hear of a candidate who degraded himself by
acting liken pedlar, in distributing songs full of scurrility anti
falsehood ? He did not mean to charge the lion. Baronet with
the falsehoods contained in those papers; it was possible the
lion. Baronet was ignorant of their. content,; but what must
they think of a man who would sign his name to and distribute
what he had not read ? What if tney had contained atheism or
treason ? and yet they might have contained, either of them for
aught he knew.. But the lion. Baronet was too eager to gain
his own ends to be anxious about the means.
Colonel JOUNSON •said, that if bethought the number of
freeholders who had already poolled spoke the sense of the
county against the Gentleman whom he had -preppie') for their
choice, he would readily acknowledge it. He was, however,
far from thinking that the sense of the county was yet express.
ed on the poll. They were in the ninth day of the contest, and
up to that time there had not been polled, by sonic hundreds,
AS many as bed voted in the three days of the last contest. lie
now, felt that the • majority on that occasion, which had re-
turned Hr. Chaplin and Mr. Pelham, was not at all decisive
of the sense of the county ; and he was certain that had the
' poll continued open longer, it would have lied a very difibrent • termination. lie could not think that 5,000 out of upwards of
111,000 freeholders,. at all decided the sense of the county in an
election, He could assure thefresholdera, that he had letters from
several towns in the county, stating that upwards of 1,000 free-
holders ware ready to come up to vote for Sir John The ma],
if they had the means of conveyance; but let him not be mis.
understand, for he did not wish to deceive any one. lie did
not say that these freeholders would come. Bo only meant
that they would come if he had the incline of bringing them.—
The contest was begun not by him, but by the Hon. Baronet
(Sir Wm. Ingilby). He had acted from principle, from a love
of the independence of the county, and to prevent their repre.
sentation and that, of other great counties from being decided in
the drawing-room of a Peer.—(Cheers.)—lle would now con.
chide with the words of a Right Hon. Secretary of Sutte, and
say " Come what will, come what may, here will I stand out to
the litst."--Wheera.) • •
Sir Was, brumnr again addressed the meeting, and laid
he felt himself imperative)), called upon to say a few Words
more ; and first, as to the insinuation contained in the °beer-
Vations of his Hon. Friend (Colonel Johnson). It was again
charged that he was. the nominee of a Peer. This he again
denied; but if (and he qualified it with an if), if he were, what
was the situation.of him who came before him to oiler himself
for the county ? To him the objection of being the nominee
of a Peer applied with double force.
Colonel Jouteso.le said he would not detain the meeting
more than a moment. Sir W. Ingilby (continued the Hon.
Gentleman) has put it in a candid and manly manner, whether,
if Sir It. Heron had been supported by my Lord Yarborough,
I would have voted tar him ? I answer, that if Sir W. Ingilby'
were my own brother, I would act on ie present occasion as I
have done ; and further, I will assure you, that if I had seen
one canvassing letter from Lord Yarborough In favour of Sir
It. Heron, I would not give him my vote.... Cheers.)
The meeting now broke up.

TENTH AND LAST DAY.
DEc. ti.—The election terminated this day, con.
trary, we believe, to the expectations of ail parties. It was
known yesterday, and the day before, that the Ingilbypayty
were determined entirely to relax their exertions, and leave to
their opponents the onus of keeping the poll open. From the
declaration of the Bluer, it was timughe that they would be able
to do so for at least two or three days longer, and by many it,
was believed that they would go on to the end of the fifteen

dayi. No doubt they Would,have continued, if the freeholders
whose support' they were promised had had the uterine of
catlike up, The Hhies,.however, kept their word. They
continued to poll us long as they had a voter left. Early this
morning,,sorne twenty or thirty of their voters went to the
Gastle-yard, accompanied by the band,' the nags and banners
.of the party. Soon• after some voters in the Purple interest
came etp, and voted fir Sir W. togilby. The numbers on both
'sides were soon polled the poll-clerks were quite unemploy.
ed, and from the appearances in the neighbourhood, of the
Castle, as well as: in,thestreets ‘, below Hill," it did not seem
likely that their leisure would be much interrupted for the ree
minder of the day. This was communicated to the High
Sheriff; and heertfter waitiug for some time, and no other voter
uppearmg, ordered his
,officer to. make the first proclamation
for the final close of the poll. It w.cs now about 11A fter the Jaime of a quarter of en hour, no voter presented him.
self, end the second proclamation was made. Another quarter
of an hour and the comest must end. In the interim intelli.
gence of what was patisins in the Castlelard was conveyed to
the Thorold Comnottee. Whey imsnediately sent up a few free-
holders. Thoy.polled, and the proclamations were to continence
:again. The friends of Sir John Thorold wished to gain time, as
they expected some voters from Stamford.
iliaAelengti h Stant.
.ford voters arrived to the number of Bor Id, wh was said
were only a sort of advance-guard to a much more numerous
body winch were to arrive on Monday, if tires poll eoutinued
open. The men of Stamen-if ;mooned themselves at the
booths ; but here a difficulty Male. They were. objected to on
the ground that there was no sufficient evideeee of their having
paid the land.tax, (the duplicates of the land.tax assessment
for that district not having been produced.) The matter was
carried before the High Sheriff and his assessor, and there the
objection was argued by Mr. Tallents, (of Newerk,) the legal
adviser of Sir Win. Ingilby. Ile contended that the net re-
quired that the best evidence of the pnyment of land.tax which
could be produced should be given; but that parole evidence,
in this instance was not the best, beeetzse the friende of Sir J.
Thorold had had sufficient time to get copies of the duplicates
of the assessment for Stamford ; and if they had neglected it,
thee must take the consequence.
After some observations in reply, by a gentletnan who stated
hinteelf to be the professional agent of the Thorold Conimittee,
the High Sheriff' (by his assessor) decided, •that the objection
was valid, and that the votes could not be received.
Colonel JOIIVSOV who Caine in during the discussion,
• •
stated, that this decision would have the 0113 of disfranchising
for the present the whole of the voters in the Stamford division,
of whom there were at least ninety ready to come up and vote
fin Sir John Thorold. Though lie did nut mean to dispute the
decision of the High Sheriff; he could not but think the objec-
tion rather hard, as it rested merely on technical thrm. There
could be no doubt but that the land-tax was paid, though the
regular official documents could not at
present he produced.
111 r. TAtLENTS said that he would not take advantage of
mere technical form, if the thing had not been done on the
other side. A.similar objection was taken a week back to voters from Grimsby, who had come up for Sir Wm. lugilby, and Ras decided against him. The conseqtience was, that they
were put to the expense of sending down for the officer of that
district with the necessary.documente. The friends of Sir John
Thorold had en oppertunity of sending, if not for the originals,
at least for'copies, which would answer as well. They omitted
to procure them, and the fault and its consequences must
be
their own ; but, waving all this, he would not press the ob.
jection, did he not know that an object was sought to protract
the poll. lie would not say, that if the gentlenum on the
other Aide would consent to bring up all the voters they hatpin
readiness, and idler they were polled suffer the proclamations to
go in the usual wa, so as that nthing shuld e unnces-
rily done to protract it beyond thato day,' heo wouldb admit the
Stamford votes.
Colonel JOiteesole -said, he had not intended to protract the
poll unnecessarily, but when he found such an objection press-
ed, he would take his measures accordingly, lie would enter
into no compromise with any man. Ile then left the r00m.._,.
Another member of the committee soon after came in, and a
long discussion ensued with respect to the admission of the
Stamford voters, and at length it was agreed on all hands
(Colonel Johnson having in the interim returned and am
in -
seed) thee* the votes from Stanifind should be received,
and that the members of the committee who had polled.
should vote and take no step to prevent the close of tho
poll that day, further than receiving whatever freeholders
might present themselves. This arrengement soon became
Nellie; and .nfter the lapse of the usual time proclafhation
was again made. It appeared, however, that Wale besides the
Committee of the Thorold party were to be consulted. 'file
second proclamation was about to be Merle; when another voter
appenred. This would, of course, require the proclamation" to
be connnenced de ve9vo. It was now made known to the She-
rifr, Out lime two or three persons in the yard were heard to
declare that they would bringl, a voter at the mtated intervals ;
and by this means they would keep the poll open till Monday.
The limit Strituirr ordered it to be proclaimed, that if
there were any freeholders then present they should cotne to
the poll, as it would close perenmtorily at four o'clock. This
had the desired effete. The regular proclamations were again
thrice repeated, at an interval of a quarter of an hour between
each, and no other voter presenting hirnself, the poll finally
closed at four.

To prevent any misconception, we think it ncre.4sary to state,
that none of the Gentlemen of the Thorold Coin II I i t tee had any
'thing to do with the attempt to protract the cont;2st, after the
arrangement which they made in the Slieritrs room.
As soon as the books were made up, the numbers appeared
to be,

On the Day's Poll.

oud cheering.
Sir AVar. Irunr.llY came forward, and returned thanks kir
the honour conferred upon him.
Colonel JoirNSON.—Brother freeholders —Your votes have
returned Sir Win. Ingilby as your Representative in Parha-

that we should lose by winning ; for we have on this day's poll

of the Council of Ministers makes no change in
the members composing It. The Council meets
shiny, and we expect with impatience the happy
results of its sittings. A good plan of finance is
highly necessary to strengthen the restoration.
The only object that the Government should
propose is to regulate the expenditure by the re-
yeipts, and not the resources by the expellees ;
to observe the greatest economy in the salaries of
public officers, now that the revolution has impo-
i,erished Spain and lost our colonies. The King
has given the example of economy, and it is
proved that since his accession he has not spent;
one year with another, the moderate civil list as-
signed him by the Cartes---a fact which should
confound the calumniators of our monarch. WV

FRANX FORT, Nov. 25.—Accounts from the lonian islands
say that dispatches sent from London to Malta have given cc-
mann to very active communications between that Island and
Corfu. The lonian•Oovernment is stated to have sent an agent
to Greece, who is commissioned to inquire into the opinions of
the Chiefs of that country an certain circumstances. These re-
ports, though rather vague,:haVe caused great sensation in the
lonian islands.

Letters from Constantinople of the 25th October say
" Though the Franks in general will not believe it to be the
fact, it is asserted on good authority that a Russian Diplomatic
Agent will soon arrive here. For some days past it has been
generally reported that the Turks are besieging Missolnnghi
by Rea and land. But as the Capitan Paella was seen on the
16th of October near Salonichi with only 23 sail and two trans-
ports, the truth of this news is th:abted. At the same time
people ask what may have become of the other vessels of. the
Capuan Pacha'a fleet. '
TilltrrE, Nov. 16.—Direet accounts from Alissolunghi of
the 22d October-relate that the Paella of Setttari and Omer
Vrione with 12 or lii,ooo men were at that time five leagues
froth Missolunghi, which is in the best state of defence. Andre
Metaro was the. Civil Governor, and Constantine liozzaris with
5,000 men had gone front Missalunghi to observe the Turks,
who had not yet made any attack. These reports add that
Maurocordato was expected at Hydra with 12 vessels and some
troops, and that Pietro, Bey of the Mainotes, was coming
front the Illorea with 6,000 men. It may, therefore, be pre-
sumed that decisive events will shortly take plate in these
parts.
A ship_ front. Calamata brings news from Missolunghi to
the 27th October, by which. we had that au rocord ato really

solunghi.
Lord Strangford signed on the 25th of Oettober, at the Pa-
lace of the Reis Effendi, a treaty of friendship and commerce
tier the Court of Sardinia, by which the Genoese vessels are to
have the free navigation of the Block Sea. The Porte has not
yet ratified this treaty in the usual form; a Sardinian vessel
was preparing to sail in a faw days for the Black Sea.
sAN'KFoit r, Nov. 30.—The actual Government of Greece
is said to have been informed, by secret agents who have come
from the lonian Islands, that the Minister of a Great. Power
had caused a very circumstantial memorial to be laid before the
Emperors of Austria and Russia at their interview at Czerno.
wits, the object of which was to prove that in the present state
of things it would be advisable to form at St. Petersburgh
an European Committee, composed of Plenipotentiaries from
the Sovereigns:- of the Holy Alliance, which should be coal.;
missioned to discuss the affairs of Greece, and propose plans
for the future settlement of that country. It is affirmed
that this Committee will certainly take place under the in-
fluence of Russia'; and it is said that Count Nesselrode is to be
President.

Our last letters from Vienna speak of new alarms among
the rest merchants on account of the affairs of the East,
the issue of which is considered very problematical. This
opinion is the more credited, no the Austrian Funds con-
tinue to decline.

Tutkotrrzi, OCT. 28.—Among the If eterists, of whom
so much has been said in Europe, there are many no doubt of
noble sentiments, and who desire tho true liberty of Greece;
but the others have been accused by their countrymen of wish.'
ing to get rid of the Pachas only to take their places as Princes,
in imitation of the Nobles of Russia, where most of the ilete-
rista have been educated. The Greek Government, however,
soon discovered this tendency ; and, shortly after its establish-
ment, abolished the emblems of the Ileterists, and substituted
national emblems in their place. The Chiefs of this party,
however,_ did not So soon forget their ambition ; they grew dis-
contented, anti encouraged discontent. Negris was one of the
most ambitious, and at the same time the most incapable—and
the Government has recently found it necessary to turn him
out of his employment. Colocotroni lately joined this party, and.
thought by his intrigues to disconcert the Patriot Illaurocordato.
They attacked him on the ground of wishing to place Greece
under the protection of -Tihtghtnd, but their efforts have failed.
In general the Greeks are qUits at ease as to the protection of
England, because they think the true policy of that country is
opposed to this line of proceeding. The object of England is
to prevent the aggrandisement of Russia in the East; but if
England should take Greece under her protection, that would
be untnediately a motive for Russia to make herself mistress of
the North of Turkey, and to seize on Constantinople. Mauro-
cordato, however, disgusted with these intrigues, left Tripo-,
lltza at the end of July to go to Idra ; and then the discontent
of the people operated so on Colcotroni, that he united his
efforts to those of the Government to persuade him to return.
In the mean time, Maurocordato has not been idle ; but has
distinguished himself by his exertions at Idra and other places.

CONSTANTIN'OPLU, 25.--Whilst the journals of
Smythe, and their contemporaries were announcing the defeat
of the Greeks, the latter gamed a signal victory at Lapsi on the
Ist of October and following days, over the Schapetais-Al-
baneso of Skodra. The loss of the Turks was 2,0011 men.—
The Greeks had 200 men Idled and 15 *omen ; for the Eto.,
lien females have formed corps, which do not yield in valour to
their husbands and brothers. They have also to deplore the
loss of one of their best Captains, Starnaris 'hatches, who
died with 'Ms arms in his hands. It is said, that after this
combat the Albanese commenced their retreat; and indeed the
thing seems so certain, that we may regard the campaign as
terniinated.
