ELECTION OF MAYOR. •

Saturday last, being St. [Julie's, Day. the elec,.
Hon of Mayor for this borough commenced at 10
o'clock in the morning. TuomAS CASE, E q.
Froposed by SAMUEL STANIFORTH, Esq. and se-
conded by JNo IIouRNE, Air. tclANtoNr)
then nominated J NO. BLUNDFLL HOLLINSHEAD,
q. which was seconded by Mr. J. 11..STAWERT.
After the usual prcluninary husittes bad breo
gotte through, a short coi.versalion took place al
to which bar the poll should begin at, and it be-
ing decided in favour of th,it occupied hy Mr. t Tot,.
LINSISEAD, the poll comtneuced itibout halt-past IU
o'clock, which continued without the least inter-
mission till within a few tninuies of P 2, at night,
when the nillitbers stood as follow :

Mr. (';lst' - - - - S2O
Mr. Fh!llinsbead - - -
But as the'clock had not struck the hour of twelve
when these numbers were atnionneed (the usuat
time of finally closing the poll for Mayor)`, and
Mr. 11311inshead having another tally at h.s bar
ready for polling, the Returning Officers, under
these chcomstances, dill not feel themselves jus-
tified in closing the poll, or Of proceeding to take
the suffrages of those llK'n Mr. nollinslicad haft
at his bar ; they therefore adjourned the poll till
this morning at nine o'clock, when we understand
the contest %yin be renewed.
We never witnessed a contested election carried
on with greater spirit or animation than the one
of Saturday last, and without the least riot or
tumult of any sort, ‘‘,llich we trust will be con-
tinued in the sante spirit to the close of it.
It is 20 years since the contest for Mayor oc•
copied more than One day. In the year 1797 the
election lasted till noon of tbe third day : the
candidates were Thomas Staniforth, Esq. and Jos.
Brooks, Esq. the latter being put in nomination
without his knowledge. The following is the
state of the poll on that occasion :
Mr. Staniforth. Mr. Brooks.
328 29.1
251 61

Oct. 18—t ht day --

The number of freemen polled on Saturday ex-
ceeds any former occasion by near 600: even in
those years when the poll was kept open till mid-
night. In 1802 the number polled was 1061, and
in 1803 only 995,,
A Corres'pondent informs us, that in 1727 the
number of freemen who polled for Mayor was
1280, being for Jim. iltighes, Esq. and Thin..
Brereton, Esq., 628.—(Liverpool Acicerlizer, Oct.
20.)
CLOSE OF THE ELECTION.

Extract of a Private Letter.—" The Election ter-
minated at about one o'clock 00 Monday, having
been retievred at nine that morning. The numbers
were—for Mr. CASE, 1020, and for Mr. HoLutis-
READ, 912. The result is very satisfactory, in.!
a3MIICII as although both Candidates belong to
the Loyal Parry in Liverpool, there is reason to
believe that Mr. HOLLINSHEAD was chiefly sup-
ported by the interest of the Jacobins."

Seven of the persons confined in Worccster
poi, for being accessory in some shape or other
to the late riots, were on ..Vednesday fully com-
mitted for irkl at the next. Assizes, charged on
oath " with feloniously and riotously assembling
and destroying the boildings, feoces, /thd other
property of John and t\ri.thatn Edmunds." Ano-
ther man confined on the SA me charge was held
to hail for his good behaviour, and a boy was
discharged.
