REFORM CLUB IN YORK.—One consequence of
the defeat of Mr. Layard at York has been the establishment
of a Reform Club in that city, its principal object being to
attend to the registration, Which has been much neglected of

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

YORKSHIRE (WEST RIDING.)
LEEDS, TUESDAW-AFTERNOON.
The poll for the three eandidates—Sir J. NV,

amsden and Mr. Frank Crossley, the two Liberals,
and the Right Hon. James Stuart Wortley, the
Conservative—commenced here, as well as at 36
other towns (each the centre or capital of a polling
district) in the Riding, at 8 o'clock this morning.
The Liberals seemed to be not only more energetic
than their opponents, but also much more numerous,
and the coaches, cabs, and other vehicles dashing to
and from the Town-hall, the place appointed at
which to take the votes, with yellow favours,
appeared to be considerably in excess of those
sporting blue, the Conservative colour. The Liberals
headed the poll from the first, and when the aggre-
gate return up to 11 o'clock was published by
Messrs. Ramsden and Crossley's central committee,
which sat at Leeds, giving each of the Liberal
candidates a clear majority of upwards of 1,500
above Mr. Wortley, most of the Liberals felt that
the contest was virtually won. The Conservatives
in Leeds had at that time received no returns from
Mr. Wortley's central committee, which had its
head-quarters at Wakefield ; and though they hoped
that the poll was not correct as stated by their
opponents, and that the returns from the more dis-
tant agricultural districts would turn the scale in
Mr. Wortley's favour, yet they appeared low in
spirits compared with the Liberals. The only
aggregate returns published in Leeds as received
from Mr. Wortley's central committee, at Wake-
field, up to the time when this report was despatched,
were as follows :

The above is the report of Mr. Wortley's com-
mittee.

To many it will doubtless be a matter of interest
to know how former contests for the West Riding
terminated. The first contest since the Reform
Bill occurred in 1835, when the present Earl of
Carlisle (then Lord Morpeth) offered himself for
re-election on his being appointed Chief Secretary
for Ireland, when he was opposed by the late Lord
Wharncliffe (then the Hon. John Stuart Wortley),
the brother of the present Conservative candidate.
The result of the contest was—Lord Morpeth
(Liberal), 9,066 ; the Hon. J. S. Wortley (Conser-
vative), 6,259. At the general election in 1837111 r.
Wortley again offered himself, but was again re-
jected. On that occasion the poll closed as follows :
—Lord Morpeth (Liberal), 12,576 ; Sir G. Strick•
land (Liberal), 11,892 ; the Hon. John S. Wortley,
11,489. At the general election in 1841 Mr.
Wortley offered himself for a third time, and on
that occasion he was elected, the numbers at the
close of the poll being as follows :—The Hon. John
Stuart Wortley (Conservative), 13,165 ; Edmund
Denison (Conservative), 12,780 ; Lord Milton
(Liberal), 12,080 ; Lord Morpeth, (Liberal), 12,031.
At this election there were 30,998 voters on the regis-
ter, and the number who voted was 25,273. In 1848,
when a vacancy occurred on the accession of Lord
Morpeth to the peerage on the death of his father (tho
late Earl of Carlisle), a contest took place between
Sir Culling Eardley on the Liberal side, and Mr.
Edmund Denison on the Conservative side, and it
terminated in favour of Mr. Denison by a majority of
14,743 to 11,795 votes. The number of electors
then on the register was 35,280, and 26,638 of them
voted. The number of voters on the register at the
register at the present time is 36,645.
At the great contest for the whole county of York
in 1807, when two members were returned, and the
poll was kept open for 15 days, the result was as
follows :—Mr. Wilberforce (Tory), 11,806 ; Lord
Milton (Whig), 11,177; the Hon. H. Lascelles
(Tory), 10,989 ; Waiter Fawkes (Whig), 2. On
that occasion 23,007 persons voted.
