IPSWICH ELECTION.

FRIDAY NIGHT.—At four o'

'clock the poll finally closed,

and the numbers were—

Morrison 542
\Vason 533

Broke
Holmes 435

Of the freemen of the town, 149 voted for Morrison; 148
for Wason ; 163 for Broke; and 160 for Holmes.
Mr. MORRISON and his colleague addressed the people from
an open space of ground outside.
Mr. MORRISON, who was received in the most enthusiastic
manner, said that the Blues had no chance in that borough if
they fought fairly. After his colleague and himself had ex-
posed the system of bribery in the House of Commons' Com-
mittee, they had the option of proceeding to a scrutiny or hav-
ing another election. They preferred the latter. Their op-
ponents had used every exertion to bring voters to the poll,
and to prevent persons from voting on the Liberal side; but
those exertions had been met by corresponding exertions by
his friends, aided by the authorities of the town, and had esta-
blished the purity of election in the borough. He entered
cordially into the prosecution of the petition before the Com-
mittee of the House of Commons. He hoped the House of
Commons would award the punishment according to the
crimes the persons had been guilty of; but he also hoped that
those who had instigated the crimes would not be allowed to
escape. They knew that the greatest criminals were those
who found the money. The Members who were returned
under those circumstances sat five months in the House of
Commons, and lent the Tories their assistance at one of the
worst periods mentioned in history, and at a time when a dif-
ference of only four votes would have turned the scale in fa-
vour of a Tory Government. Had Sir Robert Peel carried
his measures only by a majority of two, he would at that mo-
ment have been in office. He expressed his surprise that the
late Members for the town had made their public appearance
there. The Hon. Gentleman then stated that his political
principles were unchanged. He would support measures cal-
culated to remove the just complaints of the Dissenters, that
would get rid of the abuses of the Irish Church, and be the
means of obtaining Poor-laws for Ireland, which he hoped
would restore security and peace in that distracted country.
Ile concluded by thanking the electors for the support the y
had given him.
Mr. WASON also thanked the electors for having returned
them by such a triumphant majority. His political principles
unchanged, except on the ballot. He voted against the
ballet, hut he had seen enough in his canvass to convince him
that chat measure was essentially necessary to the purity

election.
A printed address was issued this evening by the successful
candidates.
On Wednesday the excitement which prevailed in this town
was much increased by the arrival of Mr. Kelly. Whilst the
nomination was going on, Mr. Kelly and Mr. Dundas were
actively canvassing. A crowd lassembled and hooted Mr.
Kelly through the streets. In another part of the town a
partisan of Mr. Dundas, without any provocation, and in Mr.
Dundas's presence, knocked down Cormould, the elector who
took the money at the last election from Pilgrim, and pro-
duced it on the hustings. A party of the townsmen formed
themselves in a body to parade the town all night to watch
bribers should they appear. The proprietor of the gas works
voluntarily lit up the town during the contest, in order to ex-
pose deeds of darkness.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17.

The Carlow Election, to which the eyes of the whole
kingdom are now turned, has begun auspiciously for the cause
of the people. The Reforming candidates are in a majority
of seven on the first day's polling. The advantage is appa-
rently small ; but against the intimidation and bribery which
prevails, it is surprising that the balance should not be on the
other side. The Conservatives are sadly chopfallen. They
know that to-morrow must give them the coup de grace.
Three of Mr. Bruen's tenants, who came up to poll for him;
being required to take THE BRIBERY OATH, slunk away CON-
SCIENCE-STRICKEN, AND REFUSED TO VOTE. This circum-
stance has excited a great sensation. Troops of Orangemen
marshalled by their officers, some of whom are magistrates,
have come in from Wexford and the Queen's County, and en-
gaged in occasional contests with the populace. They are
well armed, and used their arms on one occasion, which had
liked to prove fatal. A ball from one of their pistols grazed
the forehead of a countryman, and another person was
wounded. The authors of these outrages have not been
taken into custody; but the arrangements of the stipendiary
magistrates, appointed by the Lord Lieutenant to protect the
peace of the town, have no doubt prevented a great deal of
bloodshed, and inspired all the inhabitants with an unwonted
confidence in those authorities. I understand that Sir John
Harvey, the Provincial Inspector of Police, has acquired the
honourable title of a Radicul, by resolutely refusing to fire on
the mob, though urgently solicited to do so. You may de-
pend on it that the cause is quite safe here, and that your
worthy High Sheriff will write M.P. to his name by this day
week.

THE BRANDED OF IPSWICH AN INTENDED
CANDIDATE FOR SOUTH LINCOLNSHIRE.—Robert Adam
Dundas convicted of bribery and corruption at Ipswich, is to
be brought forward by the Tories, at the next general election,
to oppose Henry Handley for South Lincolnshire. Such is
the utter shamelessness of this wretched, reckless, but, thank
God,. ruined faction, that while this man is yet reeking with
Ihe infamy a Commiitee of the House of Commons has heaped
upon his head, he is talked about as the fittest man to turn cu:
Henry Handley, the William Tell (as he deserves to be
called) of his native county I—Lincoln Gazette.
