NORWICH.
TRIUMPH OF THE REFORMERS IN THE ELECTION OF MUNICI-

PAL COUNCILLORS.

You are well aware of the long exercised power of the To-
ries in this city from their possession of the strong and cor-
rupt hold of the City Corporation. Their funeral bell is
tolling. The Liberals, in ardent and hearty concert, have
overturned the Babel tower of the Conservatives. The ma-
jority of the old corporators are drummed out. Our flag will
float on the Town-hall. We are in by a majority of eight
councillors, having returned 28 Reformers to 20 Conserva-
tives. The reign of Bribery and municipal tyranny, thank
God, is over, and " Justice" will not be bartered fur votes. The
Tories fought every ward and bribed thick and thin, and the
warding was partially against us, besides the gross dispropor-
tion of the numbers of the ward electors. Tell young Scar-
lett and Stormont they need not come, on any dissolution cf
Parliament—we shall serve them the same at the first *oppor-
tunity. I can't send you the polls, but you may rely it is all
correct. We don't wonder at Scarlett's votes on the Cor-
poration Bill, or Stormont's praises of the defunct corporators ;
therknew the Bill would not agree with Toryism. We are
in high spirits only want to complete the business by returning
two Liberal and real representatives when Lord Melbourne
has done with this Peel Parliament. May it be soon ! With
some better management in one ward, we should have chasseed
more Tories, but believing that they could carry the majority
of the Council, they moved " heaven and earth," and bribed
furiously. But we shall get the Aldermen. How came the
Lords to overlook that ? We think they overreached them-
selves.

[FROM ANOTHER CORRESFONDENT.I'
It is gratifying to learn that the result of the municipal
election in this city has been triumphant to the cause of Re-
form, as they have obtained a majority of 28 Reform Coun •
cillors to 20 Tories, viz :

, LEEDS, SATURDAY.
(From a Second Edition of the Leeds Mercury.)

The Reformers have succeeded beyond our most sanguine
anticipations in the Municipal Election. Out of twelve
Wards, the Reform Candidates have completely triumphed
in ten. One Ward belongs wholly to the Tories ; and one
Ward is divided between the parties. The result of the elec-
tion is as follows :
Reformers elected Councillors 4O
Tories ditto ditto 8

Total 4B
Eight of the old Aldermen were candidates, and four of the
old Common Councilmen; two of the former, and one of the
latter, have been elected to the new Corporation.
The election has been conducted with perfect tranquillity,
though considerable popular interest was felt.
The state of the poll, at its close at four o'clock, cannot be
ascertained with perfect accuracy, owing to the mode of voting,
in which the names of the candidates voted for are not pro-
claimed, but only a voting paf)er given in. The following,
however, will be found very nearly correct, and in no case is
there any doubt as to the successful candidates
