ABINGDON ELECTION.
At four o'clock on Tuesday the poll closed, when the num-
bers were :
The Attorney-General
General Caulfield

Majority

EXETER ELECTION.
EXETER, TUESDAY, 5 r.m.
FINAL CLOSE OF THE Pot.z..—The High Sheriff has ust
declared the state of the poll as follows :
Duckworth
Briggs .
Majority
At the election in April ►ast Major-General Briggs polled
529, so that there is, in less than fifteen months, an accession
of 59 voters to the free-trade cause, amongst a constituency
entirely dependent on the agricultural interest. The number
of electors in the city is 2,653, so that a number, namely, 1,395,
exceeding in amount all who recorded their votes in favour of
the successful candidate, remain unpolled. We wish, for the
credit and consistency of Exeter, we could justify as easily as
we can account for this self-disfranchisement of the Exonians.
The truth is, that the old Whigs, the friends of Mr. Divett,
the supporters of Lord John Russell's fixed duty, are fixed in
the determination of neglecting their own duty, and are not
yet prepared to follow their great political chief in his liberal
and enlightened views on trade and commercial policy. The
aristocracy and squirearchy of a wide range of neighbourhood
have resorted, without disguise and without shame, to the usual
" influences" they so well know how to apply ; but, despite all
their terrorism, the Liberals might have won the election had
they been only true to themselves.

..ERONAUTICS.—On Monday evening Mr. Charles
Green ascended with his handsome balloon, called the " Albion."
from the garden of the Royal Standard and Albert Saloon, at
Iloxton. It was his third ascent this season, making upon the
whole, no less than three hundred and two times that he has thus
explored the atmospheric regions. On this occasion he was sc.
companled in his flight by his father, now upwards if seventy
years cf age, and by Mr. Brading, jun., son of the proprietor
of the Albert. The exhibition attracted countless thousands
cf spectators to the fields and highways in the vicinity, aud
the gardens of the tavern were very well filled. The balloon, fully
inflated, was displayed during the afternoon, besides which a sort Of
fc'te champetre had been prepared for the company. It was after
seven o'clock when the travellers took their places in the car, and
the buoyancy of the machine having been tested, it was released.
anti rose most majestically into the air, amidst the cheers of the
spectators. The balloou having attained a considerable altitude,
bore away in a direction for Essex, and the travellers wereexpected
to return at night to the Albert, where the company were in the
meantime entertained by the theatrical company, by Ramo Samee,
a display of fireworks, Ike.
FIRE IN BARBICAN.—Tuesday night, between eleven
and twelve, a fire was discovered raging in the basement boor of
the house of Mr. rim, linendraper, &c., No. 57, Barbican; but it
was ingeniously got under by the firemen, who cut a hole through
the floor above, and played water upon the flames from the \Vest of
England engine. The damage was considerable.
FIRE AT BLACKWAI.L.—EIGHT HOUSES BURNT.—
Tuesday night a fire broke out in one of the house in Folly-rove, near
the Folly.house, Blackwall, and which destroyed eight houses, the
abode of nearly forty persons, who have lost the whole of their
furniture, and in some instances the greater portion of their wear-
ing apparel. The first discovery was made between the hours of
seven and eight, by one of the occupiers named West, a poor water-
man, whose attention, it appears, was directed to the chimney of
his hahitation, by noticing flames issuing out of the same. He
immediately got upon the roof and endeavoured to subdue the fire,
which was then confined to the chimney In that, however, he
was foiled, for the door of the room having
been left open, and the
wind blowing strong from the south-west, the flames and sparks
were driven upon the roof, which, being composed of thatch., was
very speedily in a general blaze. As soon as the fire became visa.
ble in the High.street, mounted police were dispatched fur the aid
of the engines. With all possible expedition the parish engines
were drawn out, but from the peculiar situation of the blazing
premises, they were unable to get sufficiently near to render
the least assistance. Meanwhile the fire, unrestrained, eau_
Untied to burn with the greatest intensity, completely light.,
ing up the river as far as Greenwich and Woolwich. The
engines of the London establishment from Schoolhouse-lane,
Wellclose and Jeffrey.scrres stations, with Crookland, the fore.
man of the district, were remarkably quick in arriving, but un.
fortunately the distance of the road from the fire prevented them
from getting to work in anything like time to stop the ravages of
the fire. To get to the spot the engines were obliged to be taken
across the marshes of the Isle of Dogs. When matters were at
length adjusted one engine was effectively worked ; but the olds
good that could be done was the putting out the bodies of solid
fire lying scattered along the ground. ' By nine o'clock the whole
chi"' of houses, eight in number, were nearly destroyed, very
little more remaining than the bare walls. The whole of the cc-
cupiers, hard-working people, have thereby been bereft of every-
thing they once possessed. The following are the names of the
wry! crs :—James West, Joseph \Vest, and Joseph Taylor, water-
MOH ; Joseph West, a gardener; John bidden, a sawyer; Jame
Moore, captain of the Emma ; Leonard, police inspector;
I and Joseph Lund.

SHAMEFUL CONDUCT Ar VAUXHALL GARDEN,..-
On Tuesday a benefit club hired Vauxhall Gardens for: the
purpose of dining. A vast number assembled (havirtg pre-
viou,ly promenaded the streets with music, banners, &e.) In
the evening a great number got intoxicated, and vroeeeded to
demolish ever)thing around—chairs, tables, belnches, beer
muds; plates flew about in all directions ; the ornamental harts
of the gardens were trodden down, the beautiful figure of Nep-
tune was broken, and, in fact, the gtlrdens were strewed with,
fragments. The police wire calleu, and a party of the rioters
e6oveye.l to the station-house. The proprietor has detaine
their bar.ut:rs, &c., for th damage. Such conduct is disgrace-
ful to benefit clubssund injurious to the proprietors of gardens
Ituch as Vauxha2l, whose aim and desire ought to be, and we
believe is, keep up the respectability of the establishment.
