WORCESTER.
WEDNESDAY, JAN. 7.—Tory and corporation influence, and
Tory gold in abundance, have obtained a partial victory here,
in turning out one of the reform candidates—Colonel Davies.
The grossest threats and intimidation, where nothing else
could be successfully used, have been resorted to, to compel
the poorer class of electors in Worcester to vote for the Tory
candidate.

ANGLESEY BOROUGHS.
There is no doubt of the triumphant return of Captain
Vrederick Paget.

GENERAL ELECTION.

Country Correspondence received this Morning.

SANDWICH, JAN, 8.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
election closed to-day, when the Mayor officially de-
clared the state of the poll as follows :—Price, 551 ; Trowbridge,
403 ; Owen, 339. So that. our town once more boasts of Sir Thomas
Trowbridge as one of its representatives. His return, under the
circumstances, is a most gratifyeng triumph for the friends of
Reform and good government. It has been gained under the very
guns of the Great Duke's castle, in spite of the influence which
necessarily belongs to the office of Lord Warden, as well as that
which the Duke has been assiduously cultivating during his visits
to Waliner ; in spite of the threats which have been held out, and
hi many instances practically enforced by his dependents, the ex-
pectant Tories ; and last, not least, in spite of the determined coali-
tion between the Duke's own nominee (Mr. Price), and the no-
minee of the Goverment (Sir Edward Owen, Clerk of the Ord-
nance), who have been supported by all the influence of Government
and doubtless by a Government purse. Over all these obstacles
have Sir Thomas and his friends triumphed ; and that their prin-
ciples are firmly supported by the independent part of the consti-
tuency, the 217 plumpers polled for Sir Thomas amply testify. His
conduct is beyond all praise. He has come forward manfully at a
most important crisis, and unequivocally declared himself in favour
of Liberal policy. But because he happens to be in opposition to
his Majesty's Government, it has pleased the Tories, for want of a
better hold, to charge him with disloyalty. This accusation the
very name of Trowbridge refutes. A more gallant or devoted ser-
vant of his Majesty doss not exist. He opposes the prescilt Minis-
ters, simply because he conscientiously believes that they cannot
govern the oDuntry with honour to themselw...•.:„ advantage to the
people, or satisfaction to their Sovere,gn. In this feeling Sir
Thomas's constituents cordially Ir:tie, and they are justly proud of
the Gallant Member who so Faithfully represents them.—Yours' &c.,
AN OBSERVER.

CAMBRIDGE, JAN. 8.

CLOSE OF THE POLL.

At four o'clock this afternoon, the time of closing the poll, there
was a great muster of the friends of Mr. Spring Rice, 111 r. Pryme,
and Mr. Knight ; the latter gentleman being within a few of Mr.
Pryme for the last two hours, it was thought that he might gain a
point, particularly as the glorious uncertainty of the bribery system
had nearly turned the scale in favour of the Tories at various times
throughout the day. An immense interest was manifested by the
crowd in front of the hustings, particularly when a board was car-
ried about in triumph, bearing the state of the poll upon it. The
statement (but not official, of course, until to-morrow rnorr
when the Mayor will announce it) was as follows :
..,
Rice
Pryme
694
Knight
685
The Mayor came form:et amidst the tumult, but it was all dumb
show, when he :renounced that the meeting was adjourned to eleven
the next Morning. The friends of Mr. Rice and Mr. Pryme then
proceeded with their music and banners, when both gentlemen
were loudly cheered at the window of Mr. Bridges, stationer, on
the Market Hill.
Mr. RICE appeared and asked for three eLeers, now that they
had won the victory. The most deafening acclamations then rent
the air. Mr. Rice congratulated the electors on the victory which
would be hailed with delight by the people in general of England.
—( Loud cheers.) They had not only the interest of the Corpora-
tion against them—not only, as Shakspcare says, " a double headed
monster" against them, but two double headed monsters. Not
only the influence of the corporation, but the interest of the gaol
against them—(Laughter)—and it was a fact that men had been
brought in custody from the gaol to vote for the Tories.--( Groans
and hisses.) There had also been much pecuniary interest against
them ; he knew it had been exercised, and Hilo could only bring it
home to the parties, then he trusted the gaol would have an in-
crease of influence by having more voters in it.—(Laughter and
cheers.) The Tories little knew, when they tried to influence the
electors of Cambridge—they little knew the men with whom they
bad to deal.—(Cheers.) But he knew them, and now that they
had three times given him their votes, he hoped they had nothing
to reproach himself or his colleague for, since the first time that they
were brought forward.—(Cries of" No.") He had always endea-
voured to bespeak their attention to the liberty which had been
given to them by the Reform Bill, and not exagge:ated beyond
its merits. They had exercised their privileges, and achieved such
a victory as had won renown which would be handed to posterity.
He only wished that in the exercise of their privilege they had cho-
sen a better man than himself.—(Cries of " We are satisfied.")
But lie could not help, whilst alluding to their kindness, to mention
the friendship and exertions of his committee. He believed that
the compositors of the Cambridge Chronicle were at this time
rummaging over the paragraphs which had been already prepared ;
—( Laughter. )—the terms would doubtless be, " The Radicals are
defeated—the Tories are returned—and all England may sleep in
peace."—( Continued laughter and cheers.) How those paragraphs
would now be reversed he could scarcely imagine ; but in no place
would they have occasion to reverse them more than in Cambridge.
Knowing the influence that had caused such exertions as had been
made by their opponents, the town of Cambridge had reason to re-
joice ; the monarch had appealed to them for their answer in refe-
rence to his decision on the conduct of the late ministers, and he
(Mr. Rice) thanked them most cordially for the answer they had
made to that appeal.--(Loud cheers.) He regretted the lateness
of the hour and the inclemency of the weather induced him to con-
clude his address, and after three more hearty cheers he retired
from the window.
Mr. PacYasE next came forward amidst loud cheers. Once more
their fellow-townsman stood before them, having been twice the
object of their ehoice.—(Cheers. ) They had gained a victory,
and it was astonishing, on looking at the influence used against
them, that they had gained it. Mr. Pryme then alluded to the
corrupt practices which the Tories had resorted to in order to de-
stroy the freedom of the election ; and whilst expressing his grati-
fication at the result of this election, he mentioned, in the happiest
terms, the result of the election of the city of London. That re-
sult would be hailed with rejoicings all over England, but would
not be more gratifying than the election for Cambridge, which had
