COLCHESTER.-MONDAY.

(From the Essex Herald.)
DECLARATION OF THE POLL FOR NEW TOWN
COUNCILLORS.

This being the day appointed for the Mayor, Dr. Nunn,
to declare the state of the poll respecting the election of
aiew Town Councillors, a great number of people assem-
bled in front of the Moot-hall, to ascertain the result.
Various rumours were afloat during the forenoon, as to
which party would be successful ; but the general opinion
was in favour of the Reformers gaining the ascendancy.
Too much credit cannot be given to his Worship, the
Mayor, for his arrangements on Saturday last, in having
the polling-booths placed in the different wards, so as to
prevent any tumult on either side. The day passed off
very quietly to the satisfaction of both parties, and much
to the credit of his Worship, who openly declared his
determination that the business ..should be conducted in
such a manner that should exonerate him from suspicion
or blame. There was n6c a single case of disturbance,
and at the closing of the poll the files of voting papers
were carried to the Moot-hall, and placed in the Corpo-
ration chest, the key of which was given to George Sar
will, Esq., as the Custos, till this day, and his Worship,
the Mayor, took possession of the key of the closet in
which the chest was deposited. This day, about two
o'clock, an announcement of the poll was made, when the
following statement appeared, from which it will be seen
that eleven of the eighteen returned are Reformers :
FIRST WARD.

George Savill—R. ' Thomas Moore—R.
R. M. Savill—R. William Smith—T.
Bartholomey Brown—R. Samuel Green Cooke—T.
SECOND WARD.
J. W. E. Green—T.
Thomas Grimwood—T.
J. F. Mills—R.
THIRD WARD.
T. C. Eisdell, R. I Henry Kimber, T.
C. P. Jarvis, R. James Barker, R.
David Morris, R. , 1 Samuel Bloomfield, R.
The Hall was crowded to excess, and his Worship, the
Mayor, was loudly called for ; having made his appearance,
he was much cheered, and eulogised by Mr. Philbrick and
others ; and a vote of thanks, with three times three
cheers, was unanimously passed, for his praise-worthy con-
duct during his Mayoralty.—His Worship and the different
successful Candidates returned thanks.
In this borough the lists are not declared. The Re-
formers, however, contrary to the boasting of the Tories,
have succeeded in returning 12 out of 18 of thl Town

Robert Barber—R.
George Bawtree—T.
Thomas Baker—T.

Councillors. Now we are delivered from the old nuisance,
and can return two Liberal Members, and fear not bribes
or charities.

LIVERPOOL.

(From the Liverpool Albion.)
Only two of the candidates, out of the forty-eight no-
minated by the Tories, have succeeded in carrying their
elections, John Shaw Leigh, Esq., for West Derby Ward,
and Henry Lawrence, Esq., for Rodney-street Ward. The
Mayor, as returning officer, has the power of deciding be-
tween Charles Lawrence, Esq., and James Aikin, Esq.,
who are equal on the poll for Great George Ward, and
between John Barton, .Esq., and William Stuart, Esq., for
St. Paul's Ward. The general result of the election stands
thus :

Reformers returned 44
Tories

Majority of Reformers —42.

The Mayor will, it is probable, " split the difference"
between the Reformers and the Tories, by giving one of
the equal candidates to each. Should
,his Worship so de-
cide, or the scrutinies justify the expectations of the Re-
formers, the new Town Council of Liverpool will contain
Forty-five Reformers. The forty-five will immediately in-
crease their majority by appointing sixteen Reformers as
Aldermen, thus making the total majority of the Reformers
in the Council Sixty-one. Huzza for Reform !

PRESTON, WIGAN, STOCKPORT,

CHESTER, AND LANCASTER.

(From the Liverpool Albion.)
We have most gratifying accounts of the results in the
boroughs- in this district. Preston, Wigan, Stockport,
Chester, and Lancaster, have all thrown off the Tory
yoke, and emancipated themselves from thraldom. In
Wigan, the Tories only succeeded in carrying three of
their candidates, the Reformers carrying not less than 27.
The result has completely astounded the Tories.
