THE BRADFORD ELECTION.

Yesterday, at noon, the mayor of Bradford de-
clared the state of the poll from the hustings in
front 'of the Court-house. About 4,000 people
were present ; and as great bitterness of feeling be-
tween the rival parties still existed, it was judged
advisable to keep a strong reserve of armed police
within the walls of that building. Upon his worship
presenting himself before the crowd he was received
with partial cheering and a regular storm of indig-
nation from thefriends of Mr. Miall. He said there
had been some hard blows given on both sides, and
he hoped the bad feeling would now subside. The
result of the poll was as follows :
Thompson ... ... ... 2,210
Dliall ... ... ... .0. 1,807

Majority for Thompson ... 403
The announcement was received with deafening
cheers and counter-demonstrations.

Mr. ISAAC WRIGHT spoke on behalf of Mr.
Thompson, who is still absent on the Continent.
He said they had met that morning to congratulate
themselves on the glorious result of the election.
He should have been glad if the tumult of Tuesday
could have been avoided, but all he could say was,
that the Thompson party were not the first to
begin it. On the contrary, they did all in
their power to suppress it. The Miall party
had not taken their defeat as they ought
to have done—(interruption and confusion)—
and he hoped the poll would decisively show to the
Miallites that they could not force a castaway upon
the town. The electors bad come forward on the
present occasion and manfully discharged their duty.
On behalf of Mr. Thompson's committee he then
begged to express his cordial thanks to the electoral
body for placing their friend and townsman, Mr.
Thompson, so proudly at the head of the poll. They
would have Mr. Thompson amongst them in a few
days—(hisses)—and they would then hear from his
own lips how proud he was of the honour they had
conferred upon him.
Mr. MIALL, on coming forward to address the
electors, received an enthusiastic reception from his
friends, and a stormy one from the Conservative
party. He said--I wish, in the first place, to re-
turn my cordial thanks to the gentlemen who have,
acting on my committee, worked so hard, not to
advance my interests, but the interest of the prin-
ciples I hold. (Cries of " Oh," and cheers.) I re-
turn thanks likewise to the 1,8)7 electors of this
b9rough who have given sue their votes to a man
who is not a local man ::.•tui a comparative stranger
amongst you. Nothing but zeal, nothing but de-
votion to principle, nothing, but a high sense of
political duty, could have led them manfully, as
they have done, to face the odds which they knew
they would have to encounter. I am now the de-
feated candidate for Bradford —(A Voice : "No
worse for that")—but the verdict may be reversed.
(Cries of " Oh.") I thank God I have done nothing
in this election which can stain my character, no-
thing that can sully the high principles I hold be-
fore the country, and as far as I know I have used
all my influence, and my committee likewise, to have
this contest fought good-humouredly. (Applause.)
I confess I was surprised at the appearances that
exhibited themselves in Bradford last night. A de-
feated candidate is generally courteously treated, and
I never knew men fight before who had got their way.
I tax nobody there (pointing to Mr. Thompson's
side of the platform) with the responsibility of that,
but I say that that which occurred lays upon some
one a heavy responsibility. (Cheers.) I leave the
responsibility where it rests. I wash my hands of
it entirely, and I return home satisfied I have done
the utmost in my power—(interruption)—if I won
this victory, to win it only in the name of intelli-
gence, and conviction, and political principle.
(Hear.) Not baying won it, I confess that I am
fully satisfied that the demonstration made last
night by the other side, and against myself and my
committee, was a proof, in my judgment, that we
had not merely to fight intelligence, and conviction,
and political principle, but beer. (Cries of. " Oh,"
groans, and immense cheering.) Mr. Miall con-
cluded by moving a vote of thanks to the mayor,
and the proceedings then terminated.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

CARLISLE AND SILLOTIL

The adjourned half-year general meeting was
held at Carlisle on Tuesday ; Mr. Irving in the
chair.
The report stated that the directors regretted that
the matter in dispute between them and the North
British Company respecting the dividend referred
to in last half-year's report was still unesttled.
They had commenced legal proceedings, which they
trusted would before long be brought to a satis-
factory conclusion ; but no distribution of the com-
pany's funds could for the present be made among
the shareholders.
The CHAIRIIA.N moved the adoption of the report.
which was agreed to.
Mr. J. D. Carr, Mr. R. Creighton, and Mr. Fer-
guson, the retiring directors, were re-elected ; Mr.
Forster, the retiring auditor, was re-appointed, and
the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks
to the chairman.

MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND Lin° LNS II I RE.
The total expenses of this compa,ny's railways and
canals, including rents, tolls, duty, &c., from the Ist
of July to the 6th of October, 1867, amounted to
£141,591, as against £135,614 for the correspond -
ing period of 1866. The proportion of the South
Junction receipts accruing to this company from
the Ist of July to the 6th of October amounted to
£11,840, as against £11,663 for the corresponding
period of 1866, and the expenses to £5,252, as
against £5,722.

SAN PAULO (BRAZILIAN), LIMITED.
The report of the directors states that the work-
ing of the company's railways since the opening
had been exceedingly satisfactory. The receipts for
the 4i months from all sources of traffic amounted
to £45,478, while the working expenses amounted
only to .£11,216, leaving a balance of £34,262,
from which, however, had to be deducted £lO,OOO,
representing the additional rates charged to meet
the contractor's claim, under their contract with the
Government, for accelerating the opening of the
line, thereby re lacing the net receipts to about
£24,262. This sum, together with that paid by the
Government on account of the guarantee pending
the final settlement of the accounts at the end of
the present half year, would enable the directors to
pay a dividend at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum.
It would be observed that the working expenses
amounted to a very small sum in comparison with

MO CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said it was so satisfactory that he had no
doubt all the shareholders would be pleased with it.
The increase of income in the past half-year was
£92, as compared with the corresponding half of
last year. The directors were enabled to pay a
dividend at the rate of 5 per cent, per annum on
the capital stock of the company for the half-year
ending the 31st of Jul:. last, and to carry over a
balance to the reserve fund.

The report was unanimously adopted, anti tho
dividend declared payable less income tax.

FIREWORKS A 7 711 E CRYSTAL PALACE.

Yesterday the last of what may be called the
autumn outdoor amusements took place on the
grounds of the Crystal Palace, in the shape of a
grand exhibition of fireworks. Though, as may be
conjectured, the pyrotechnic display constituted the
prominent attraction of the occasion, the entertain-
meets given in the earlier part of the day formed
sufficient inducement to visitors to make their way
down to Sydenham, for not only did the orchestral
band of the company play a choice selection of music,
including some of the most celebrated morceaux
from the works of Beethoven and Meyerbeer, bu t
the band of the Coldstream Guards also discoursed
sweet harmony, and a pianoforte recital, which
comprised a grand fantasia on airs from " Norma,"
and the two " Lieder ohne Worte" (Mendelssohn)
was given by Mr. Oscar Beringer. During the day
a large number of visitors inspected the small
schooner rigged boat the John T. Ford which re-
cently made such a fatal voyage across the Atlantic.
This little craft, which is scarcely 21 tons burden,
left Baltimore some time ago for Havre, in order to
be exhibited at the French Exhibition. On reach-
ing within 50 or 60 miles of Cork she capsized, in
consequence of the ballast shifting, and the crew of
four hands were, of course, thrown overboard, and
clung to the bottom for several days, undergoing,
as may be expected, the most dreadful suffering
Three of the crew perished, and the only survivor,
Andrew Armstrong, was picked up by a passing
vessel when on the very point of death. A few
days afterwards the boat was cast on the coast of
Wexford, and, what is wonderful to state, her com-
pass and barometer were fouwd to be very little in-
jured, as also her papers and some letters which
her captain had been commissioned to forward
from her Majesty's ship the Royal Alfred, at Hali-
fax. Armstrong, the survivor, was in attendance
yesterday, and it may be added that the little ship is
exhibited for the benefit of the widows and orphans
of those who perished in the dangerous and reckless
expedition. After the last selection of nnisic marked
on the programme had been performed, the visitors
dispersed through the several courts of the building,
and a large number of them tested the excellence of
Messrs. Bertry.n, and Roberts' shilling tea, which
has now become an institution in its way on occasions
when the Palace is open to a late hour in the even-
ing. At 7 o'clock the visitors were summoned to the
balconies and grounds by the salmte of arid maroons,
by which the commencement of these pyrotechnic
fetes is always announced. To the regular habitues
of the Crystal Palace it must be a source of asto -
nishment that a peculiar novelty attaches to every
succeeding display of fireworks; and this, it may be
added, is obtained, not by any material change in
the materials of the exhibition, but simply by the

ingenious diversity of arrangement. Last night, how-
ever, a new feature of attraction was introduced by
an interesting competition between M. Ruggieri, of
Paris, and Messrs. Brock and Co., the regular pyro-
technists to the Palace, who sent up two distinct
salvoes of coloured shells, one from the right, the
other from the left of the centre walk. Without de-
tailing the particulars of the contest, wo may give it
as our opinion without prejudice that the English
artists won with ease, for their shells were superior
to those of their competitor, both in profusion of
effulgence and brilliancy of colour. The grand flight
of saucissons also constituted a special element of
attraction, for they not only whirled through the air
with an almost dazzling motion, but also resounded
with the irregular rattle of a volley of musketry.
The set piece in honour of the Prince of Wales was
then fired off, the comets rushed down from the water
towers, and the balloons were sent up to exhibit
again the peculiarly intense luminosity of the mag-
nesium light. Then followed the illumination of the
fountains, over which innumerable coloured stars
glided hither and thither. Indeed, one might have
fancied during this portion of the display that some
Briareus was throwing little globes of fire from ono
to another of his hundred hands. At 8 o'clock the
Beni-zoug-zoug Arabs gave their entertainment on
the stage, and soon after the visitors began to make
their way to their respective termini. The fete last
night went a long way to prove that the monopoly
of artistic pyrotechny no longer belongs to the Con-
tinent. One shilling day, Wednesday—Admissions
on payment, 8,791 ; do. by season tickets, 4,531
total visitors, 13,322.
