EXETER, DEC. 28. —Our Municipal elections closed on Sa-
turday afternoon ; but the result-will not be declared in time
for the post. It is generally believed that the Liberals have
19, and"the Tories 17. The mode of election has triven the
utmost satisfaction. The candidates being kept in the dark as
to their relative positions, there was none of that jockeying and
driving which would have resulted from open voting. There is
little doubt that four of the candidates in one ward were within
six of each other at the same moment : and if there had been
any certain knowledge as to the highest or lowest, there
would have been a tremendous effort amongst them to attain
the summit, for the sake of the longer term of office. Some
of the old Tories wish to make the Mayoralty an expensive
office ; one man says he will spend a thousand pounds if
elected. It is hoped that the Town Councillors will set
their faces against a transfer of the vices of the old body to
the new.

NEWPORT; ISLE OF WI6IIT, DEC. 28.—After a tremendous
contest against our old exclusively Tory Corporation, and their
Tory party, we have each returned nine and nine of the Town
Council. If you knew the arts we have had to meet, and the
influence to overcome, you would be surprised that we have
thus far succeeded. The old snake is scotched but not killed ;
his tongue, however, is excised. We shall now have the doers
and winows open, every thiiig public, and the re-elected old
corporators will not meet such select company at the Council
13oard as heretofore.

TlVERTON.—Tiverton hiving so long felt all the advantages
of a close Corporation described in the Report of the Com-
missioners, has not been backward in its duty in the new elec-
tion. Of eighteen Councillors, sixteen, if not seventeen, are
Reformers ; and of the old twenty-four self-elected corporators
only two have found their wav into the new body, and these
two certainly far the best of the old lot. One of the last acts
of the defunct body was to remove the furniture, &c., of the
mayoralty-room, including the busts of Lords Harrowby and
Eldon ! !—lt may be a question whether these were not public
property.

. .
TRURO.—The independent burgesses 'of Truro have justi-
fied the high character they sustain in the county, by electing
sixteen Reformers into the new Town Council, consisting
only of eighteen members, thus identifying and securing for
the future the local, with the Parliamentary ascendancy of
sound, liberal, and constitutional principles. The late " self-
elected" contested the point with all the virulence of expiring
despair, and resorted to all the wonted expedients of their sys-
tem to secure their re-election, but were foiled by the pure
and uncompromising patriotism of a vast majority of the rate-
payers, who, with much forbearance, were induced to allow
two out of the old twenty-four to retain their corporate
honours.

THE MARKETS—(THIS DAY.)
•
CORN EXCHANGE.
Our market was moderately supplied with most kinds of
Grain this day. The trade for fine Wheat continues steady,
and inferior sorts are not lower in value. In Barley, Beans,
and Pease, we note no variation. For Oats the sale was rather
better, at former -quotations. Flour dull, and prices as last
noted.

ARRIVALS.
Wheat. Barley. I Oats. Flour.
