PLYMOUTH, DEC. 26.

seven belonged to the old corporate body of 1832. Ply-
mouth has, therefore, displayed a decidedly Liberal spirit.
The new Council is composed of men of busineSS habits
and independent character, and the change is unquestion-
ably for the better in all respects. The few Tories lected
have been chosen from circumstances altogether unconnected
with politics. The real Tory candidates
.were in a miser-
able minority. A complete revolution has taken place in
the municipal body of Plymouth, and the result will, be a
great increase of strength to the popular party.

On the Tory side, in that ward, the highest number of
votes was for J. Williams, baker, and James Banner,
88 each.

WARWICK, DEC. 25.

Sing, rejoice, and be glad ! The conquest is nobly gained
over the old municipal self-elect of Warwick. Behold the
following list for the parish and ward of St. Mary :
SUCCESSFUL.—W. Collins, 314 ; Jos. Sanders, 344 ; C.
Lamb, 330 ; Rd. Jaggard, 331 ; Rd. HiOrns, 332 ; J.
Smith, wine-merchant., 328 ; *Kel. Greenway, 310 ; *Jo-
seph Phillips, 308 ; John Enoch, 295 ; *John Wilmshurst,
287 ; John Twamley, 28.5 ; John Lamprey, 281.
UNSUCCESSFUL.—Rose, vestry surgeon, 258 ; Henry
Smyk, 260 ; George Stowe, 251 ; Jones, late alderman,
277 ; Ebenezer -Heathcote, 270 ; Edward Greaves, banker,
262 ; J. C. Docker, 276: Samuel Burbury, tanner, 24.5 ;
W. Blenkinsop, surgeon, 279 ; Ward, late Alderman, 276 ;
W. Tibbets, late Alderman, 278 ; Edwards, Jury-street,
261 ; Morris, late Alderman, 16 ; Malloy, present Mayor,
13 ; Dr. Wake, I ; Wm. Staunton, Esq., Longbridge, 1.
# Those marked thus are Tories and late Aldermen, the
only old members elected.
The Town Council of this ward, therefore, consist of
nine Liberals, and three Tories. It• is understood that
neither of the latter will act. Greenway, the banker, the
Castle people say, will give a cheque for the fine, and re-
tire in disgust. Wilmshurst claims exemption under the
Apothecaries' Act ; and-poor Phillips (a man much re-
spected, I believe, by both parties) will not " sit alone in
his glory." '
WARD OF NlCHOLAS.—Councilmen elected : John
Smith, 124 ; John Goodhall, 123 ; Theophilus Taylor, 118;
Job Richardson, 118 ; J. .Cattell, 117 ; Wm. Cookes
114 ; all Liberals.

Of the 18, therefore, for the.borough, 15 are Liberals ;
a majority of 5 to 1.
After such a signal defeat (declared by the Mayor this
morning) the Tories are completely down. Their old
spirit is broken. The merry lads of the successful party
have held an inquest this afternoon on the deceased Body
Corporate. The proceedings were conducted with great
decorum :-Ist, The Jury sang a melancholy dirge, in-
stantly followed by " 0 dear ! what can the matter
be?" Each of these appropriate pieces being writ-
ten expressly for the occasion. Then the Jury re-
ceived evidence, and it was at first expected that the ver-
dict would have been very serious, no less than wilful
murder against Joseph Parkes, the Secretary of the Cor-
porate Commission, and a native of this borough, but it
being proved that on Thursday evening each Alderman
ordered his gown to be sent home, I threw out a hint that
such an act might be taken as proof that the Corporate
Body meditated self-murder, and very naturally wished to
die decently in their gown:.• The Jury consulted together,
snd'at length decided on the following verdict : •
" That the Body Corporate having bad their consciences
disturbed by one Joseph Parkes, whereby the stings of re-
morse were rendered more and more unbearable, did on
Saturday last destroy their existence by their own hands—
therefore the Jury return a verdict of Felo de se, and the
Coroner directs the body to be buried in t 4 highway."
The burial, with a muffled band, is expected to take
place to-morrow.

FRANKFORT WARD—Reformers : Dr. Cookswortby ,
H. M. Gibson, attorney ; Wm. Jacobson, attorney ; Col.
Elliot. Tories : Mr. Bone, purser, R.N. ; Mr. Whiteford,
attorney, late Town•clerk.
DRAKE'S `'YARD.—Reformers : W. Prance, gent. ; D.
Derry, banker ; Mr. Aldham, manufacturer ; Mr. Frean,
corn-merchant ; Mr. Tanner, tanner ; and Mr. Shepheard,
stone-cutter.

BRIDGWATER, DEc. 28.

Our abominable old Corporation is gone to the tomb of

the Capulets. It is all over with them, and they have po-
litically expired in the lump. The paralytic stroke of the
Corporation Act has been their death. Of the 24 late
self-elect 22 were bitter Tories. They had only ten of
their decayed body eligible to be re-elected ; viz., nine
Tories and one Whig, who were all candidates, the others
not being resident or householders. The nine Tories are
all thrown overboard and swamped, and the Whig Cor-
porator, being in the Liberal List, was returned a Town
Councillor. The North Ward contains 192 Burgesses,
out of which number the Reformers polled 99, and the
Tories 73 ; the South Ward contains 208, of whom the
Reformers polled 107, and the Tories 86 ; so that the Re-
formers liave in both Wards a majority of 47. Some cross
voting which took place may somewhat alter these numbers,
but not materially. From the close of the poll on Satur-
day until 12 o'clock of that night all the cannon in the port
were firing, and the bells ringing ; and these rejoicings have
been resumed this morning. The new Council are now in
the Hall to commence on their duties.

DEAL, DEC. 26.
Notwithstanding the unscrupulous exertions of the To-
ries here, and all the leading Tories of the neighbourhood,
the Reformers succeeded in carrying their entire list, all
Liberals. 'W e have done this by organization and union, a
power taught us recently by the Conservatives. Fas est ab
hoste doceri.

THE SU-N, LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 29, 11E-35.

St. Nicholas Ward, in which much of Lord Warwick's
property is situated, and the Castle stands against us. And
in St. Mary's Ward we believe we have six out of twelve.
But till the lists are declared to-morrow, we cannot be
certain. Without a Ward we should have returned every
member of the Council.

SHREWSBURY AND BRECKNOCK.
The Liberals have triumphed at Shrewsbury, 17 Refor-
mers, and 13 Tories.

LUDLOW.

The Tories have been beaten here altogether, notwith-
standing the interest of the Clivei and Mr. Charlton. The
Tories gave in at two o'clock.

DERBY, DEC. 27.—Here we have gloriously triumphed,
as we hope our neighbours have. The Reformers have
elected 34 Liberals and 5 Tories, and those five have
chiefly been elected by the assistance of Liberal votes.
BRIDGNORTH, DEC. 28.—1 cannot send you the poll bil
to-morrow, but we have got a " clean sheet" in our new
municipal roll of Town Councillors. All twelve are Re-
formers. We beat the Tories into fits.

WENLOCK, DEC. 21.—1 n this straggling rural Corpora-
tion Boundary, we could not face the country Tories ; but
in our Madely Ward we returned six Reformers. No
more darkness or dirty work.
KIDDERMINSTER, DEC. 28.—1 this borough you will
regret to hear we are no- successful in our struggle against
the Tories. Of 18 only two reformers are crrrisd.
But the old corporation is destroyed, and respectable suc-
cessors appointed.
CHESTERFIELD, DEC. 28.—This borough has gallantly
defeated Toryism. It has victoriously returned 9 Libe-
rals, and only 3 Tories. I subjoin the poll for the
