MANCHESTER ELECTION.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
The polling commenced this morning at eight o'clock,
and was continued throughout the whole of the day with
considerable spirit on the part of the Reformers, but the
Tories finding their case was hopeless, attempted to gain
by bribery an intimidation, that which they could not
accomplish by fair voting. At the close of the poll at
four o'clock, the numbers stood thus :
Philips 3,702
Gibson 3,582
Murray
Entwistle 2,686
Thus establishing the independence of Manchester. The
Tories have been taught a lesson on this occasion, that
will for ever blight their hopes in Manchester.

STOCKPORT ELECTION.

Major Marsland
The return of Mr. Cobden has given cause for great
rejoicing in this neighbourhood.

MARYLEBONE ELECTION.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
This enlightened borough yesterday presented a most dis-
graceful scene of riot and annoyance to the peaceable inha-
bitants, owing to the employment (by the Tory Committees)
of the refuse of (ices-court, and other equally infamous locali-
ties, who, to the amount of hundreds, were employed to pa-
rade the borough, and attack with bludgeons all the unfortu •
nate parties whom they might meet dressed in the colours of
the Liberal candidates.

Many broken heads are the result of this shameful and most
disgraceful affair, and it has taken the majority of the D di-
vision (from their general beats) in order to suppress these
vile outrages, alike disgraceful to either side in the important
moment of a general election.

TO THE ELECTORS of LAMBETH.
GENTLEMEN,—Though I am a stranger to this country,
where, during five years, I enjoyed a generous hospitality under
the protection of your Magistrates, I have been inscribed on
the register of election, under the number 2,443. I would
feel proud to join your efforts fur the welfare of the English
nation and the prosperity of your gracious Sovereign's reign, did
not several considerations of a superior nature compel me to ab-
stain from ranging myself on either side of the two parties
which now divide the nation. I acknowledge that your gene-
ral intentions appear to me to be pure and conscientious, aim-
ing only to further public welfare. Tories and Whigs intend
to promote it, only by different means. I deem it not my duty
to deride on the merit of either opinion. Besides, I have
reason to fear, that as a foreigner any vote of mine whatever
might become a cause of contention among those whose prin-
ciples I rejected, I might then' give an occasion to a momen-
tary dissension among honourable men, who generally claim
all my consideration. Therefore I can but offer my sincere
wishes for Great Britain's happiness, assuring you, gentle-
men, of the grateful sentiments you inspired me with, in doing
me the honour to require my participation with you in the
most important privilege a nation can exercise.
( Signed) CHARLES LOUIS, Duc de Normandie.

BATH ELECTION.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,--You cannot eulogise our victory in Bath too highly.
It has been won without. a bribe—without the treating of a
single voter with a glass of intoxicating drink !! ! Not one
shilling was spent in this way, either by ilia Liberal candidates
or their Committee, prior to the day of election. A breakfast
was then provided for our friends, and this is all that has been
done in this way. We have won by uniting, one and all, heart
and soul to carry our men, and let the world judge how we
have done it.
Our enemies have used every foul means. Beer-houses in-
numerable have been opened. Every hungry voter has been
invited—yea, pressed to partake of suppers, night after night.
Back rents have been paid for others to get them to vote, but
many have deserted them after all this attention. We are
getting temperate, and consequently intelligent and indepen-
dent, in Bath; and I shall be much deceived if Toryism ever
lifts its head here again. Let the world know by our example
that if the people want anything they must unite to obtain it.
Yours, very truly, EDWARD SAUNDERS,
j Bath, June 29th, 1841. One of the Central Committee.

TORY ATTACK UPON ALDERMAN WOOD.—
Yesterday eternoon, shortly after the close of the poll, the
worthy Alderman, viho had been conversing with some friend•
at a house in Basinghall- street, upon leaving, in company with
a friend, was grossly assailed upon passing the Tory Commit-
tee room, in Basinghall-street, by a ruffianly mob of long-
shore-men in the pay of the Conservatives, who hissed and
hooted the Alderman, and were proceeding to violence, when
Mr. Shillibeer, the omnibus-proprietor, and a friend, who
seeing the danger of the worthy Alderman, manfully fought
off the ruffians, and ultimately forming a body-guard to the
Alderman, succeeded in getting him safely into a cab in Cole-
' man-street, but not until he had been severely handled by the
mob, who, as soon as they saw the Alderman drive off, at-
tacked Mr. Shillibeer and his friend, tore the clothes off the
former, and otherwise injured him.
