and he had Lot the smallest doubt that the result of t'• e'r
ballot would be to secure the return of two Reformers.
The Gallant Commodore then sat down amidst the most
enthusiastic cheers and cries of the "Ballot."

This was immediately proceeded with, and the electors
came pouring in crowds from all parts of the borough to
the poll.
At ten o'clock the poll was closed, and the theatre,
boxes and all, and.even to the back of the spacious stage,
was crowded to excess. We have no doubt that 3,000
persons were by this time crammed into the building,
whilst a great crowd was collected in the street, anxious
to hear the result.

At a quarter past eleven o'clock,
The CHAIRMAN announced the total number of elec
tor;, who had polled, to be—
For Sir C. Napier
For Mr. Young

1,031
945

MAJORITY FOR SIR C. NAPIER

986

The announcement was receWeiihi;;Cli/.iiOuscil.Ter-
ing and some hissing. Mr. Young and the Gallant
Commodore stood on each side of the Chairman, and
cordially shook bands amidst reiterated cheering.
Mr. YOUNG then said, that having polled nearly one
thousand votes, he hoped that was sufficient to justify
him. in supposing that he was supported by a large body
of the Reformers.—(Hear, hear.) But he would now
abide by his pledge, and give every support in his power
to Commodore Napier—(Clicers)—and he called on all
his friends to do the same. The Hon. Gentleman was
enthusiastically cheered.
Sir C. NAPIER then came forward and thanked the
electors for the honour they had clone him. He had next
to thank Mr. Young for his honourable and sincere con-
duct throughout the day's
_proceedings ; and if he (Sir
C. Napier) should be calle“ away upon the service of his
country he hoped the electors would give him (Mr.
Young) his due, and return him to Parliament.—(Cries
of " You're both trumps.") He recommended the electors
that although they had now a fair prospect of beating
the Tories, who would retire from the field if they saw
that meeting, yet unwearied exertion was still necessary
to secure the victory.—(Cheer..;.)
Thanks were then voted with vast applause to the
Chairman, who, in acknowledging the compliment, said
that he had been one of the twelve Members of Par-
liament who voted- for the ballot on Mr. O'Connell's
motion—(Cheers)—and the proceedings of this day more
than ever convinced him of the efficiency of that mode
of voting. He highly complimentsd the two candidates
on their candid and honourable conduct, and was loudly
cheered.

After several rounds of cheers for Napier and Youn
alternately, the meeting separated.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

HAMPTON AND MOULSEY HURST RACES.

WEDNESDAY.

These popular races commenced yesterday under the
most favourable circumstances as to weather and com-
pany, and the sport, if of less importance than some of
the great events decided at Epsom, Ascot, and other
places within the metropolitan range, was excellent in
its kind, and plentiful enough to keep the spectators on
the qui wive until _near six o'clock ; it had the re-
commendation of a handicap on the fashion-
able- plan,: to which sixty-two noblemen and
gentlemen had subscribed, realising to the win-
ner about 6001., a sum infinitely superior to anything pre-
viously-run for on Moulsey Hurst. Its introduction en-
hances the character of the meeting, and doe 4 great
credit to the promoters. We are enabled to extend-our

RIOT ON SAFFRON•HILL.—On Monday night,
about half-past 11 o'clock, Saffron-hill was thrown into the
greatest riot and confusion, arming from the following eircum..
stance. Patrick Gannon, an Irish labourer, had about twelve
years ago come to London, leaving his wile and two sons at
Galway, and shortly after his arrival formed an acquaintance
with Ellen Ryan, whom he married in St. Giles's church, and
by whom he has seven children. On Monday last his first w,fe
and her sons arrived in London, Lavin.- received intimation of
Gatmon's perfidy, and then, with a ho''dy of Irish friends, en-
tered his Louse, when both parties laid to with tongs, shovels,
and chime's in the most. furious style. Hatton Garden re..
reived them on Tuesday, when Gannon- acknowledged the
bigamy which he had committ, d, and with which Mts. Gannon
the second threatens to ch:rge him, while Mrs. Gannon the
firs', and her coadjators in the assault, were ordered to find
bail, in default of which they were locked up.
Lady Louisa Hay, OH daughter of the Mar-
quis of Tweeddal_ ,e and sister of the Countess of Dalhousie and
Is a ch;oness of Douro, was married on Friday at )(ester
House, the family seat in Haddingtonshire, to Mr. Hobert Bal-
four Wa-dlaw Ramsay, of Whitehi I. Dl. P. Mr. and Lady
Louisa Ramsay have arrived it the York Hots!, from Scotland.
The price of cider in Davonshire has advanced
to 10F. per hogshead, in consequence of the apples having
stiff( red from blight. —Bristol Journal.
PRESTON ELECTION.—No doubt any longer
remains as to a second candidate on the Reform interest
in this borough. Sir George Strickland, Bart., M.P.,
has signified his intention to stand for Preston.
The conduct of the Tories on Tuesday in the
House of Commons was marked
very characteristically.
They mustered in great numbers at an early hour, having
been canvassed to carry tome job of a Private Bill, and
they adhered to their seats until the division—all they
wanted. Afterwards they shirked the debate on Mr.
Seholetield's motion, having only three of their body in
the House when it was counted out,
