SCARBOROUGH-MONDAY.

The poll for the New Town Council of.S:aibm ough com-
menced on Saturday morning, and continued till about three
o'clock in the afternoon. At filo close of the poll the Orange
band passed through the town, playing the " Dead March,"
and proceeded to the sea shore, where, amidst the solemn la-
mentations of the spectators, they committed to the waves the
remains of poor old Sir John Rottenborcugh, in the 153 d year
of his age. Though the result of the poll was evident, yet
the magistrates deferred the declaration till 11 o'clock this
motning (Monday); Never was there a more splendid
triumph of l►beral opinions over close and corrupt sinecurists ;
of rational and sober judgment over irresponsible power.
The peace of the town had heal amply provided for by the
existing authorities, and the preventative service and the nu-
merous special constables defied all resistance. But one word
from any gentleman of the, Orange Committee was sufficient
to set at nought the provisions of the Tories; and several
gentlemen of the Reform Association laudably undertook to
control the spirit of the excited multitudes, and consequently
the peace has been preserved without the slightest interruption.
Out of 18 Councillors, 17 have been returned in the Liberal
interest—and of course but one solitary Tory.
The state of the poll is as follows :

DENBIGH, DEC. 27.

I lieg to subjoin an account of the election of Town-coun-
cillors for the borough of Denbigh, which took place yester-
day. The burgesses have nobly exercised their new franchise,
and returned nine Reformers to the Council out of twelve.

Only three Tories got in, two of whom are men of great
personal influence in the town and neighbourhood ; and I wish
to point to the circumstance of one of them, Mr. Heaton, a
gentleman of large fortune, and a county magistrate, finding
the tide running against him, and despairing of getting in,
actually himself voting, and also getting his tenantry to vote,
for a most objectionable person, a low farmer in the borough,
nearly illiterate, and who has been for the last five years, and
is now, under recognizances to keep the peace on account of
being engaged in drunken rows at fairs, markets, &c. Mr.
Heaton did this out of spite, being a violent Tory, and wish-
ing to throw discredit upon the new Bill, by showing that the
effects of it were to introduce a blackguard into the Council,
as long as he thought it likely to work against himself. How-
ever the townspeople had more good sense, and did not follow
this bright example. So that Mr. Heaton's protege was left
at an immeasurable distance. There were 21 candidates, and
the following were elected in the order of their names :
REPonmEns.—Richard Lloyd Williams, surgeon.
Salisbury Williams, wine merchant.
Robert Parry, glover.
John Williams, M.D.
Thomas, Evans, solicitor.
Thomas Hughes, ditto.
Richard Williams, ditto.
Thomas Evans, grocer.
John Williams, Abbey.
TORIES.—John C. Williams, Esq.
John Heaton, Esq.
William Yorke Jones, Esq.
The number of burgessses who polled were 270, being only
20 short of the entire number on the register.

DONCASTER.
We had a brisk contest hereon Saturday for the Town Coun-
cillors. The old body consisted mostly of Tories, but by the
close of the poll for the three wards it will be seen that the
case is altered :
