REIGATE.

The election was carried on here with grew,
it. Mr. Briscoe and Mr. Allen were here in the
early part of the day, and addressed the people.
Mr. Allen was received with laughter and great dis-
approbation. The votes were declared from time to
!ime, and as the great majorities were announced for
Briscoe and Beauclerk, the cheers were exceedingly
loud.

1 Mr. BRiscoE addressed the voters, and was re-
ceived with great applause; he urged strongly the
necessity of exertion on the part of the voters to re-
•urn two independent teen, and he was glad to see,
from the state of the poll, that the electors were
doing their duty manfully.—(Bravo, " Briscoe and
Beau clerk for ever.")

Beauclerk 36 Allen 0
Briscoe :33 Lainson 0
At four o'clock, when the poll closed—

The popular feeling here, as elsewhere, was
srorigly in favour of Briscoe and Beauclerk. Some
of Mr. Allen's voters gave him plumpers, but the
majority of the voters, both for Allen and Beauclerk,
split their votes with Briscoe. The polling through-
out the day was neck and neck, Major Beauclerk
heading Mr. Allen by about four or five.
About one o'clock Mr. ALLEN came into the
town, and addressed the populace from the windows
of his Committee-room. He said he had just come
from Reigate—( What is the state of the poll
there ?) He understood he was at the head of
he poll--( No, 00)—and he had no doubt of a
triumphant issue.—(Cheers, and disapprobation.)
Major BEAUCLERK, on coming forward, was re-
ceived with most tremendous cheering. He said,
—Gentlemen, the interest which you have this day
expressed on my behalf, gives me the greatest hap-
piness, not on my own account, but because it
proves to me that the feelings of liberty and inde-
pendence are deeply imprinted on the hearts of my
fellow-countrymen, and that these warm demonstra-
tions of regard are only bestowed upon the humble
individual now before you, because you believe him
to be a man of honest principles, and one who will
ever be the unceasing advocate--the independent
and unflinching champion of the rights and liberties
of East Surrey.—(Great cheering.) I have the
pleasure of communicating to you, Gentlemen, that
I at present have an increasing majority over my
opponent at every polling place throughout the di-
vision—(Loud cheers)—and I have confident
hopes that the result of this contest will prove that
the independent electors throughout the county
are not to be crushed by any party, or any faction,
but will be represented by men whose indepen-
dence and honesty will equal their own.—(Hear.)
If you send me to Parliament as your Member—
(We will—we will)—I shall go there to do
equal justice between man and man—l shall
go there with a firm and honest determi-
nation to relieve the distresses of the country
—to carry a judicious and temperate Reform into
all our institutions in Church and State—(Great
applause)—to protect the poor man in the just en-
joyment of the fruits of his industry—to enforce a'
diminution in the extravagant expenditure of the
country—to demand the adoption of some equal and
just system of taxation, thereby giving opportunity
for the vast resources of this country fully to develop
themselves—and, in one word, to advocate the cause
of justice and liberty, from whatever quarter it may
be assailed.—(Continued cheering.) Brighter days
are now dawning for us—the proud oligarchical
power which has so long trampled on our rights and
liberties, whose enormous exactions have almost
crushed the industry of the country, is now for ever
annihilated—the industrious will no longer be de-
prived of their hard earnings to swell the load of
wealth in the pocket of some idle drone. A new
system will supersede the old one, which shall be
based upon equal justice and equal protection, and
have the happiness of all as its end and object.—
(Cheers.) This will be my great aim, The in-
terests of the community at large are those to the
promotion of which I shall zealously devote my ex-
ertions. I have no private interests to promote. I
am rich enough to desire no more. Rank has for
tne no eharms--it is your cause more than mine,
and in your hands I may safely leave it, confident
that truth and justice must finally prevail.—(Great
applause. \
