this polling place (the stronghold of the Tories, where the
Willoughby thumbscrew has been most closely applied) was,
at half.past one o'clock, only 14 below Cust. At Alford he
is within 1 of Christopher, and at Horncastle at the head of the
poll. There is every reason to believe that his Lordship will
be triumphantly returned."

CARDIGAN BOROUGHS.
CLOSE OF THE TOLL, JULY 5.

Majority for Price, Reformer, over Harford, Tory 21
We are informed on good authority, that the Mayor of Car-
digan has not been able to make any return in this case, the poll-
book for the Aberyswith Borough not having duly reached him,
it being missing. From the information which has just reached
u 3, it appears, that upon Mr. Simons (a professional gentleman
of Carmarthen, who had been retained in the Tory interest to
attend the polling at Aberyswith) reaching Aberayon, on
posting down to Cardigan on his return to ascertain the
state of the poll, he was requested by the landlord of the
Feathers Hotel to take a small paper parcel to Car-
digan for him, which was addressed to Mr. Brown the
Mayor ; no explanation was given, and the parcel was put in
the chaise. Mr. Simons arrived at the Black Lion Inn, Car-
digan, at eleven the same evening, when being surrountled by
the partisans of Mr. Harford, making enquiries as to the poll,
it escaped him to think of the parcel, but just as he was about
to leave for Newcastle at two in the morning, it occurred to
him, and he desired the boots of the inn to fetch the parcel
from the chaise, when it was quickly brought him, and which
he then handed to the landlord, with directions to forward it
to Mr. Brown. What became of the parcel afterwards we
are not at present able to say, but we understand
that it was missing on the Tuesday morning, and that in
consequence the Mayor could not make his return. The
Inn at Cardigan was crowded at the time, and the
presumption is, that a trick has been played. It is to be re-
gretted that Mr. Richard 0. Powell, the Tory Mayor, of
Aberystwith, transmitted the parcel so unprotected. We are
not justified in attributing any undue motive to him, but rather
the absence of the proper one—the deliverint the poll book in
person to the Returni❑g Officer, or forwarding it by a respon-
sible person direct. We do not know that any other conse-
quence will arise from this, but delay and expense, which in
any case to a greater or less degree appears certain. If the
book should continue missing, it is possible that the House of
Commons, after due investigation, may order a new poll book
to be made up from the check books of the candidates, and
which were made to correspond with the poll book before the
latter was closed and sent. We believe there is an instance
where the House has ordered additional names to' be inserted
on the poll book, and the return made to correspond. If the
book should be forthcoming, it will perhaps present. a novel
feature for the wisdom of the House, but the trouble and diffi-
culty will in that ease be, at all events, reduced. It is how-
ever, to be hoped that the Tory gentlemen of the county will
see the book is found, and set this abortive attempt all right,
and that speedily. No blame whatever can be attached to
Mr. Simons.

STOURBRIDGE, JULY 8.
FROM A CORIIESPOWDENT.)
The Hon. Captain St. George Foley having retired from
contesting the Eastern Division of the county of Worcester,
the Tories have had the bells of the church ringing, and a band
of music playing abou' the town the whole of to-day, accom-
panied by a gang of hired ruffians, bearing besoms, &c., and in
their hats Tory colours. Having an unlimited run of ale from
different public-houses, they have become intoxicated, and are
assaulting persons as they pass along the streets, and many
shopkeepers have put up their shutters. About four o'clock
some dispute having arisen between two of their own party,
named Heywood and Pearson, both of whom were intoxicated,
the former struck the latter and knocked him down, and his
head coming in contact with the kerb-stone, a concussion of
the brain took place, and he died instantly. Heywood is in
custody.
