EAST NORFOLK ELECTION.

(From the Norwich Mercury of yesterday.)
This morning opened with considerable anima-
tion. Vehicles, horses, and drivers, stood prepared
at an early hour to do the bidding of the day, and
bring those to the poll who bad to be conveyed
there. Two neat and commodious timber erections
were constructed on the Castle Hill—one on each
side of the Shirehall—the Coke party occupying
that on the north, and the Stracey party that oxi
the south. Each polling place was divided into
four cpmpartments, surmounted by distinct notifi-
cations for voters from various districts, in which
compartment their votes would be received. If
less bustle and less apparent excitement appeared
to animate the throng of hangers on who hovered
round or stood steadfast against the polling places,
it was only because of the excellent arrangements
made to preserve the peace, and afford every facility
to all who had business to transact connected with
tit, contest.

The voting became eager, and as soon as the re-
turns could be obtained from Yarmouth and other
places, the numbers were issued from Mr. Coke's
committee room. Of course, the "issues" were
not so frequent as is usual in elections for the city,
and, indeed, there were only three or four declara-
tions of an official character throughout the day,
from the reason that Mr. Coke's committee did not
think it necessary to issue them piecemeal. Mr.
Coke's committee rooms were the fountain of in-
telligence, for the only intimation that lite existed.
in Sir Henry Stracey's locality of Orford Hill, was
a small placard placed on the front of the house
where the committee sat, with the numbers written
upon it. _

About half-past eleven C. Crawshay, Esq.,
brought up a large body of voters in his carriage
drawn by four horses, ornamented with large
bunches of flowers.

As the day worn on the excitement increased, and
the Mercury office was beset by an anxious cr ow d
to learn results by our own bulletins.
We now give the general results up to three
o'clock, but a full description of the progress of the
election throughout the day, with the numbers of
the poll in each of the six polling places,
