WINCHESTER ELECTION.

(FRost OL'R CORRESPONDENTO
Threats, bribes, and intimidations have neutralized again the
representation of this city. Mr. East—the nominee of the Duke of
Buckingham ! the protegee of the Church and College ! ! and. the
',articular favourite of a Corporation famed only for their flagrant
abuses of thy public charities committed to their charge—has been
elected, in preference to Mr. Mildmay, a staunch Reformer. At a
riveting of the independent electors of the city, which took place
last night, it was resolved to secure the election at least of Mr. B.
Baiing, who had identified himself with the cause of the people,
and who was totally unconnected with either the Corporation,
Col-
kge, or Cathedral. For this purpose, above one hundred voters
formed themselves into a body of reserve. The polling commenced
at nine o'clock this morning at the County Ball. which was well
peeked by the friends of Mr. East, and who polled nearly one-half
the electors before the middle of the day, when the friends of Mr.
'Baring commenced plumping for him, and thereby secured his elec-
tion. About half-past three o'clock, Mr. Mildmay, finding his
case desperate, resigned.
The fallowing was the state of the poll at its close :
Mr. East...
Mr. B. Baring
Mr. Mildmay 122
Had the poll been kept open longer, Mr. Baring's numbers would
nearly have amounted to those of Mr. East.
Among the many attempts made use of to induce the electors to
support the Tory candidate, the lay vicars and dependants of the
Cathedral were summoned into the Chapter room, and were there
commanded, as they valued their situations, to vote for Mr. East.
The Staff of the Militia were also directed to pursue the same
course. The offer of a situation, in the only charity now under the
Corporation, was, by a member of it, proffered to a humble indi-
vidual as the price of his vote, which the poor man nobly resisted.
Dr. Nott, a prebendary of the Cathedral, and a great pluralist, ,s,ho
for bad health has had a dispensation for several years from attend-
ing his clerical duties in the Cathedral, not many yards from his
house, found himself' enabled, in spite of the inclemency of the
weather, and of popular excitement, to appear at the hustings to
support the champion of clerical misrule.

The Sun newspaper on Monday, published a full
report, extending to eight columns of the nominations for the
City of London and Borough of Southwark, which took place
on that day.--Derby Reporter.

on the present occasion. Monday's paper brought us the
Southwark and London nominations of that day, at the length of
eight columns. Tuesday's paper had an equal quantity of in-
telligence from Westminster, Greenwich, and Miirylehone ;
and on Wednesday, the reports from Finsbury, the Tower
Hamlets, &c., were nearly in equal quantity. —Nottingham
