(RECEIVED THIS EVENING FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
Thursday morning.
Sia,—You will doubtless be glad to hear the election news of
this place and Plymouth. At Plymouth Sir George Cockburn is
beaten by 21. Collier and Bowes, the late, are the present Diem-
be:- s. Every exertion tva§ made by the etNitiv#tion; the treett#l of
which, I tklieVe tti it filth, supported him but in vain. The con-
test Vtas most severe to the end, but the good cause has triumphed.
This was the poll—
Collier
Bewes
Cockburn 666

Now here we have done ret better-►ll.iltat intiroitlAtion eould
accomplish with the Dock-yard men and others under Governnent
influence, has been tried, and with no little effect. Money has
been I:berally scattered, and the public-houses thrown open. It is
a failure, as yet, and must ultimately prove one. Mr. G. Dawson,
the Secretary of the Admiralty, the rejected of county and borough,
and the brother-in-law of Sir R. Peel, will pro where
.the weakest
always g©—to the Wall. Captain Superintendent Ross, of the
Dock-yard, has been most zealous in his behalf, and so far outraged
propriety, and forgot his " situation" and profession, as to ride side
by side , in the car with him to the hustings, in his full uniform.
his has been much noticed, and he got wounded on Tuesday
night, although not severely, by the mai. Iff he had tiOt betlii E
great favourite (independent of all political matters) he would not
have come so easily off.
The poll last night was thus :
Sir Edward Codrington 931
Sir G. Grey
ehl4
We are now polling well for the two former, and I shall send
this off with the ten o'clock state—

(Ten o'clock, Thursday (yesterday) morning.)
Codrington
Grey Afil 840
Dawson— tiil
There arc not above a hundred and fifty or two hundred more to
poll, cr, indeed, that can poll ; therefore it is virtually over.
Your obedient Servant,

LAMBETH.

CLOSE OF THE POLL.

This day at Four o'clock the polling ceased, when
Mr. HAWES came forward and said.,-..-The last return of the
poll shews that you have placed Me in the 138 St of lietaiii-=
you have done the the honour to place me in the first situatton
on the poll. Gentlemen, lam deeply grateful to all of you,
and that gratitude I will endeavour to shew, not by words but
by deeds.—( Great cheering.) I think, Gentlemen, that
we may now safely say, that in the Borough of
Llmbeth, all the crying about reattlott and the division among
the Reformers is falte—( Cheers.) It happens that Mr. Ten-
n} Son, from some unexplained cause, is prevented from appear-
ing before you. I know that a short time ago he was very
unwell ; there is a gentleman present, however, on his behalf,
who is deputed to return his sincere thanks to you—( Chem.)
You must now remember that its OH haVe decided
on continuing the election throughout to-morrow—( Great
and Continued disapprobation.) lam delighted, gentlemen, to
hear those shouts on his left hand (the Conservative party),
because before four o'clock to-morrow I know how much their
cheering will be worth.---( Great cheering, and laughter.)
That proud majority you have given tit todayhas, fa
point of fact, virtually bottled the election for the borough.
—( Great cheering.) And, gentlemen, I am quite sure
that the result will show that next day's work will even better
speak the feelings of the. people uf lliit infotigh, than to-day.
—( Cheers, an 4 grtat 'noise.) Some of the friends of the
Alderman think that I am speaking for him. I can only
sly that I am speaking for myself, without the slightest in-
fkmmation of the chest.—( Great Cheering and laughter.)
and I do esaurg yeti that I will be ill indeed, if, after . asking
your %Wraps, I think of making that an excuse for not facing
you.—(Great cheering.) This day's poll will add one more
to the proud triumphs of Reform.—( Cheer.) le will go
through the country, and help to keep up the good cause of
liberty and freedom.--( Great cheering.) As I said to you
when you first sent me into Parliament, that you would find
me a most staunch advocate of that cause, so now I will only
say, that while I have breath, it shall not have a more deter-
mined supporter.—(Cheering.) I ask you to rally round us
(" We will, we will")—rally round the satue standard to-
morrow as you have done to-day, and show our opponents that
if wisdom directed their couucils they would have put an end
to the contest at once. But, gentlemen, I assure you, if they
have no objection to the contest, I have none, because I know
that the result will be such an one as not to justify them in
continuing it ; but it will place me to a more proud situation
than lamin at present. I only asg you to continue the same
exertions to-morrow as you hove nobly dyne to-day, and let us
shew these who are hired to stop the freedom of niscussion here,
that our efforts far outrival theirs by our position on the poll,
—( Cheers. )—which, after all, is the way in which we can

speak loudest. I call upon you to exert yourselves—bestir
yourselves, and not let it be said that because we are safe we
are indolent.—( Cheers, and cries of " We will show them that
to-morrow.") I say again, that if you return me to parlia-
ment, you send me as the steady advocate of the rights
of the people—dissenters as well as churchmen. You will
find no truckling or trimming in me,—( Cheering. )—and
wherever you find me voting against the principles of Reform,
against the liberties of the people, or against sound economy,
then turn your backs upon me. The Hon. Gentleman con-
cluded amidst immense applause from an audience (never ex-
ceeded in respectability at an election) of more than 2,000
persons.
J. H. PALMER, Esq. (son of Mr. Tennyson's proposer),
then came forward on behalf of Mr. Tennyson. He said, "
have been asked, and I took the task with very great
pleasure, to return thanks to you, on the part of Mr.
Tennyson, for the high and distinguished honour you have
done him in so freely and nobly tendering him your suffrages.
When I heard the shout raised on the other- side when Mr.
Hawes spoke of the Right Hon. Gentleman's illness, I thought
it came from a very bad motive and in exceeding bad taste.—
( Cheers.) Mr. Tennyson is never afraid to face the people,
and he would never descend to so low a pretence as illness to
prevent him from appearing here.—( Cheers.) We already
know twat Mr. Tennyson's interests are safe in your hands--
we know you will rush to the poll, and I have no doubt but
that you will place the Right Honourable Gentleman in
that situation to which his public spirit entitled him.—
( Cheers. )—At all events, I think that those who make allu-
sions to any one's indisposition ought not to have sent here a
hired band of men to make disturbance and noise.—( Great
cheering, which drowned the Hon. Gentleman's voice. )—I
feel perfectly confident, gentlemen, that you will nobly do
your duty.—( Cheers.) Great as a triumph might be to the
electors, it would not be merely the triumph of the borough
of Lambeth, but of those principles upon which I sincerely be-
lieve the safety of the liberties of the people. If the same spirit
as you have shown were felt to actuate the people generally,
I would say that there was no doubt but that the Tories would
find they were " going," " going," " gone."—( Loud
laughter.) Ido believe that the result of this days poll will
be a great stimulus to the cause of Reform throughout the
country, and I cannot for a moment doubt but that the
result of the elections generally would greatly tend to
accelerate the pace of Reform in place of retarding it. I
again return you my most sincere thanks, and beg further to
say that Mr. Tennyson feels strongly for the honour you have
done him. I entreat you to come early to the poll to-morrow,
and crush—at once and for ever—the spirit of Toryism
in this borough—( Loud cheering.) Our object is
not merely to return our late representatives to the House of
Commons with a triumphant majority, but by an overwhelming
one, to show to the country the opinions of the electors of Lam-
beth upon those great principles which are now at stake in the
country.—( Great cheering.) I again return you my most hearty
thanks, and again beseech you to strike a blow to-morrow
which will make the hearts of tyrants tremble.---.( Cheers.)
Mr. LETT ( Alderman Fairbrother's chairman) then came
forward, and was about to make some observations on his be-
half, but was received with such yelling and groaning that not
a word could be heard.

Mr. liawEs entreated as a personal favour, as well as for
the good of the cause in which they were engaged, to give the
gentleman a fair hearing.
Silence having been restored, _ __ _ _ _

Mr. LETT then ProcecdedL-He wished to detain them
but for a moment, while he detailed the reasons of the
worthy Alderman's absence.—( Hear.) It was occasioned
by very serious illness. He had attempted to come before
them, and had got as far as his Committee-room, and un-
doubtedly he would have appeared among them if the
medical man had not stated that sudden death would be
the inevitable consequence of an exposure to cold on the hust-
ings.—( Groaning.) He would give them an opportunity
of coming to the poll to-morrow and registering their votes for
the independent men—( Much hissing and groaning.)—
He would do so on these grounds—to give every elector
an opportunity of registering his vote either for Tennyson,
for Hawes, or for Fairbrother—(Disapprobaticn and laughter. )
He had a sanguine hope that the poll to-morrow would show
a very different complexion to what it then did.—(Great
laughter, and cries of "No doubt of it.") He was
sure that no gentleman who knew him would say
that he kept the poll open from factious motives. He
had ascertained that they had a full proportion of the electors
of the borough in their favour.—(Great laughter.) He re-
turned thanks on the part of Alderman Farebrother to those
who had voted for him, and hoped his other friends would
come forward early to-morrow.
After a few words frem Mr. M‘LEoo, which was not heard
in otinsequence of the noise,

Mr. HANVEH said they had been engaged in an arduous strug-
gle that clay; he trusted, however, that they were not so ex-
hausted as to be unable id gve three hearty cheers for the
cause of Reform.

The cheers were most lustily given, and the meeting quietly
dispersed.
