SOUTH LANCASHIRE ELECTION.

OFFICIAL DECLARATION OF THE POLL.
In accordance with previous announcement, the
High Sheriff of Lancashire made a declaration of
the poll for the Southern Division of the county at
one o'clock yesterday at Newton-in-the-Willows.
There was not a very numerous attendance on the
occasion, nearly all present being of the Conserva-
tive side. On the hustings the friends of Mr. Turner

Sir H. DE TRAFFORD, the High Sheriff, said that,
having duly computed the votes, he found that 9,714
had been recorded in favour of Mr. Turner, and
8,898 in favour of Mr. Cheetham, giving a majority
of 816 for Mr. Turner, whom he therefore declared
as duly elected the third knight of the shire for
South Lancashire.
Mr. TURNER, on presenting himself, was received
with loud cheers. He said he begged most sincerely
to thank the electors for the proud position in
which he had been placed. The contest which had
just terminated had been one of the severest which
had ever been recorded in this or any other coun-
ty; indeed, he believed the number of votes which
had been recorded in his favour had only been out-
numbered in two other instances in the kingdom.
He begged to repeat what he had stated on Wed-
nesday, that he did not think this had been a
struggle personal to himself and Mr. Cheetham,
but one in which the electors had resolved to show
that they were determined to uphold those gradual
and progressive improvements of the constitution
which would have a tendency to render it perfect,
and to reject those proposals which had a direct
tendency to effect a separation between Church and
State, to establish vote by ballot, and to introduce
into this country the democratic principles which
had been productive of so much and such unfortu-
nate differences in America. (Cheers.) Now that
the contest had been ended, he begged to assure
the electors that he should consider himself as the
representative of the constituency of the county,
and not as of any section of them. He should take
care that he would make no difference as to whether
gentlemen had supported or opposed him. (Cheers.)
He trusted, now that the contest was over, that
whatever heat might have been engendered during
the conflict would now be forgotten. Ho believed
that although, in the warmth of opposition, things
had been done and things had been said probably
on both sides, and by the subordinate agents of
each party which ought not to have been said and
ought not to have been done, on the whole the
election had been conducted in a fair and honour-
able manner on both sides. In conclusion, he again
thanked them for the proud position in which he
had been placed.
Mr. R. H. NORREYS said, in answer to the im-
putation which had been most unwarrantably cast
upon him by Mr. Cheetham as a renecrade from
his father's principles, he most distinctly
stated that his father, although a Whig,
—a Constitutional Whig—had never been
con-
nected with the League ; on the contrary, he had
repudiated and opposed the proceedings of that
body, as subversive of what he looked upon as the
best interests of the country. Ite himself had never
been connected with the League in any shape or
way, and he denied most emphatically that he was
a renegade to the principles held by his father, or
had in any way deserted his own.
Mr. TURNER then moved, and Mr. NORREYS
seconded, a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff,
which was passed by acclamation, and, having been
briefly acknowledged by Sir H. DE TRAFFORD, the
proceedings terminated.
