CLOSE OF THE POLL.

Cabbell -
Listowell 149
Majority —11.5
A little before five o'clock the Mayor announced the poll
as above, and declared Mr. Benjamin Bond Cabbell to be duly
elected. The announcement was received with mingled ap-
plause and disapprobation.
Mr. CABBELL then addressed the electors, and said that
on previous occasions when he had the honour of appearing
before them on the preceding day he had followed his noble
opponent. Their kindness had, however, changed matters,
and he was now advanced to the first rank. He would use
an expression, perhaps more kindred to a sister country—he
had been twice behind before, but he was first at last—
(Laughter)—and he hoped that it would not be the last
time he should be first.—(Laughter.) He then said, he
would not pledge himself to anything; and having acknow-
ledged their kindness, and declared his gratitude, retired
amidst great applause.
Lord LisrowELL said, although he did not then present
himself as their Member, he hoped shortly to do so ; although
he did not then present himself to return them thanks for
re-electing him, he came forward to thank those who had
supported him upon that and former occasions, and he had
no doubt but that he should be reinstated in the position, as
regarded that town, he had so long the honour to hold. His
Lordship retired amidst great cheering.
Mr. Cabbell was subsequently chaired round the town.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
Ponosmouru, AUG. 11.—The Gladiator steam-frigate,
Captain Robb, will, it is supposed, be ordered to Woolwich,
as the damage sustained by her machinery is more extensive
than was at first apparent. It is rumoured that her officers
and ship's company will be transferred to the Dragon steam-
frigate at Sheerness.
Commander Graham Ogle (nephew of Admiral Sir Charles
Ogle, Bart., the Commander-in-Chief at this port, and god-
son f the ate Lord Lynedoch), late of the Royalist 10-gun
brig, on the East India station, has, very much to his credit,
volunteered to do duty as First Lieutenant of the Semarang,
26, Captain Sir Edward Belcher, now on her passage to
England from Borneo. When Mr. Ogle volunteered his
services to Captain Belcher, he was not aware of his pro-
motion to the rank of Commander.
The Rifleman steam gun-vessel was floated out of thedock
she was built in yesterday afternoon, and immediately had
jury-masts put in and commenced rigging. She will be sent
to IVoolwich as soon as ready, under charge of Mr. Flinn,
' master of the Victory, and a portion of that ship's crew, to
get her engines and screw-propeller.
Two labourers working for Messrs. Rolt, on the Steam
Basin works, were this morning precipitated from the high-
est part of the works to the bottom of theexcavation, in con-
sequence of the giving way of the support of one of the tram-
ways, by which the engine technically called " a jenny,"
with a stone suspended from it weighing nearly three tons,
was thrown over, and those men who were on the machine
fell with it. One was carried to Hasler Hospital so much
hurt that his life is despaired of; the other, though terribly
shaken and bruised, is in a fair way of recovery. It is said
that the supports are not, in many places, sufficiently sub-
stantial, and that this one which has given way was reported
to be unsafe some days previous.
The Edinburgh, 72, was docked to-day to be fitted as a
block ship.
The Nautilus, 8, Lieutenant-commanding J. M'Donell,
sailed to-day to resume her station off Brighton, for the pro-
tection of the fishery.
An accidental bursting of an air-pipe on board the Fairy
steam-tender to the royal yacht yesterday, has disabled that
vessel, for the present, from attending upon her Majesty.
The Victoria and Albert has been consequently sent on that
service to-day.
The Neptune, 120, was removed from the basin to-day
alongside the jetty.
PLYMOUTH, AUG. 10.—Her Majesty's steamer Alban, Com-
mander Burney, came in last night from Cork.
At a quarter to six o'clock, on Sunday evening, her Ma-
jesty's steam-sloop Inflexible, Commander J. C. Hosea/son,
for the Cape of Go©d Hope, sailed from Bampool, having
taken on board 800 barrels of gunpowder, for the troops at
the Cape. The Inflexible, one of the most beautiful steamers
in the navy, is 1,122 tons burden, and 378 nominal horse-
power. This vessel, which was predicted by a contempo-
rary as unable to swim with her usual or established
allowance of stores for a complement of 145 men, has ab-
solutely sailed to attempt a direct voyage to the Cape of
Good Hope, with the following quantity of military stores
and specie, for the aid of the colony :—Seven weeks'
water for an increased complement of 15 men, making
now a total of 160 men • 84 days' provisions; 390 tons of
coal, in the bunkers; all her own stores, glop, powder,-
shot, shell, &0.,. with a large addition of 'extra engineers'
stores, to make the vessel indepeident'of a dockyard for
three years; besides this, she takes out seven field-officers;
2,000 stand of arms; 20 tons of powder for the colony; $2
large casks of military accoutrements, so as perfectly to arm
2,000 men ; and 55,000/. in specie, of which 40,0001. is in
gold, and 15,0001. in silver. Over and above the stores, it
must not be lost sight of that both captain and officers have
laid in very large stocks, all being provided for a voyage to
New Zealand, the ultimate destination of the ship. Despite
these great additional weights, she steamed to the Eddy-
stone at the rate of eight and a half nautical miles an hour,
the engines working up to 13 revolutions; the draught of
water when she left Barnpcol was 15 feet 10 inches aft, and
15 feet 3 inches forward.

AUG. 9.—On Friday, the 7th inst., Plymouth Sound was
graced by the presence of four of her Majesty's ships, des-
tined to increase the squadron of evolution, under Vice-Ad-
miral Sir W. Parker, G.C.8., viz.:—Her Majesty's frigate
hadand wan out
Raleigh, 50, Captain Sir T. lerbert, 5.C.8.; her Maiestes
frigate Constance, 50, Captain Sir Baldwin Walker I her
Majesty's sloop Spartan, 26, Captain. T. M. C. Symonds;
and her Majesty's sloop Eurydice, 26, Captain Elliott. The
crews were making every preparation for an early de-
parture.

The Raleigh went into the Sound from Barnpool
of
fn :lime Ist,
doc7th.ard onshtheeth6ethn,
list to port. The Constance arrived in the afternoon of the
4th from Portsmouth, and was paid advance on the 7th,
when she appeared in good trim, and was visited by Admiral-
Superintendent Sir S. Pym, of the Devonport dockyard, and
Captain Sir Thomas Fellowes, of the Royal William Victuall-
ing-yard. The Spartan arrived from Spithead on the sth,
and was paid advance. Until yesterday she bore the flag,
blue at the main, of Port-Admiral Sir John West. The
Eurydice came in on the 4th, at 7 in the morning, from
Portsmouth. On the 7th her hands were busily employed
stowing sails, &c.
Yesterday, at a quarter after 4, the Spartan struck her
flag, and saluted the Admiral with 17 guns, which were
acknowledged by her Majesty's ship Caledonia, 120, Captain
Manby H. Dixon, in Hamoaze. The Admiral's flag was
hoisted on board the Netley cutter. At half-past 5 the four
ships, with the blue peter flying, hove their anchors close to
their bows.
At half-past 7 this morning they got under weigh. On
board the Raleigh Captain Herbert hoisted his broad pen-
nant, as Commodore, and was immediately saluted by the
Constance, Spartan, and Eurydice. There was a stiff breeze
from south-west. The Spartan and Eurydice started first
under courses and single-reefed topsails. The frigates were
under courses, single-reefed topsails and topgallant-sails.
The Eurydice has evident advantage of the Spartan. She
was the more weatherly ship, and beat the Spartan nearly a
mile in an hour. The Raleigh, however, was overhauling
both, and probably got to windward of them in five or
six hours. These three were out of sight of the citadel by
10 o'clock.
Shortly after leaving the harbour the Constance carried
away a spar, sheet, or some portion of her rigging. For
nearly an hour she lay with her main-topsail to the mast,
with several hands aloft. The Netley cutter went outside
the breakwater, and communicated with the Constance by
signals, which were repeated by the Inflexible in Barnpool,
and by the telegraph at Mount Wise.
At eleven o'clock, in consequence of a signal from the
Netley, the Raleigh put back, lowered her boat, and commu-
nicated with the cutter, after which she again bore down
Channel.
The Constance was not out of sight at two o'clock.
WOOLWICH, AUG. 11.—The Princess Royal transport-ship
arrived at four o'clock yesterday afternoon, with condemned
stores from Barbadoes, and brought home 114 invalids, who
were all landed at Gravesend, to join the depots at Chatham,
with the exception of five non-commissioned officers -and
four gunners and drivers, who landed at the Royal Arsenal.
The Princess Royal made an excellent pastage, laaving_run
from Barbadoes to Portsmouth in twenty-eight days.
. Nine-
teen
women and thirty-three children came home in this
orphans.

The Trident steam-vessel, Lieutenant arrived at
Woolwich this morning from Chatham, to have some slight
defects made good.

STATE OF TRADE.
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY, AUG. 11.—There is no change
in the market to-day. Good printing cloths continue in
fair demand ; but other descriptions of cloth, and most kinds
of yarn, are in limited request—in some cases at rather lower
rates.

ROCHDALE, MONDAY, AUGUST 10.—The flannel market
still continues inactive, and demand limited. Wool has un-
dergone little variation, either in price or quantity sold.
11 UDDEILSEIELD, TUESDAY, AVG VS'S 11.—There have been
a good many buyers in the market, and a fair business doing,
although perhaps not quite so much as during the two last
weeks. Wools are steady in price, and the demand for
woollen yarn is very brisk.
LEEDS, TUESDAY, AUGUST 11.—The improved state of
our market continues, and almost all descriptions of woollens
are in very fair demand.--Manchester Guardian.

APPOINTMENTS IN THE EXCISE.—By th• promotion
of Dr. Bateman, the chief clerk in the Excise-office, to the
office of solicitor in that department, the chief clerkship has
become vacant. ➢lr. Proctor, for many years engaged as as-
sistant to the late Mr. ➢layon, has become the successor of
Dr. Bateman, and Mr. Dwelly, second clerk, has been ap-
pointed in the room of Mr. Proctor. Several other changes
are in contemplation.
