much became a man as moderation in his triumph. He
was, in the first plat-, bound to return his sincere and
heartfelt thanks to those freemen and electors who, un-
invited, and also nnflattered by him, had placed him in
the proud position which he then occupied, and then,
perhaps, he might be allowed to address a few words to
his late opponents, and that was to say that for the can-
didates who had been opposed to him he had long felt
nothing but respect, and, in one instance, friendship.
He hoped that during the contest he had made no
enemies. If he had it would be odd, for if it was the
part of Joe Miller to raise a smile the arrows that shot
from that bow bad no barb. (Hear, and laughter.)
Those gentlemen who had been so constant from first to
last in opposing him—he meant the melodious gentle-
men below—(a laugh) —would find that he had an ear to
listen even to their complaints, and a heart not deaf to
any claim that might be made, and as long as he pos-
sessed the energy and spirit he at present did possess he
should never tire in speaking of their cause.
Sir W. RussELL also returned thanks.

A vote of thanks to the Mayor, moved and oeconded

The returning officer will make the official declaration
to-day. The Huddersfield contest has excited as much
-interest as that of any borough in the kingdom, and
many of the electors gave their votes, not so much as an
eawessi m of their opinion as to whether Mr. Akroyd
or Mr. Cobden would make the better member of the
Legislature, but as a manifestation of their approval of
the course pursued by Lord Palmerston's Government
to uphold the honour of the British flag and the interests
of this country in reference to the Chinere affair, and
also in condemnation of the views of Mr. Cobden. The
total number of electors on the register is 1,552, and it
will be seen that 1,420 have recorded their votes. The
state of the poll was inquired after with great interest
during the day throughout the whole of the West Rid-
ing. A great many persons went to Huddersfield from
the surrounding towns and villages, and shortly before
the close of the contest an immense crowd had assem-
bled in St. George's•square—far larger than was present
on the nomination-day. It is nut an overestimated
computation to say that there were not less than 30,000
people present.

A Lev; minutes after 4 o'clock Mr. Akroyd, the suc-
cessful candidate, presented himself at one of the win-
dows of the George Hotel and briefly addressed the
large assembly. He was moat loudly cheered.
