TRURIDATSI ITN DAT.

Mr. Wellesley and his agents held, as he stated they would do,
in his speech from the hustings, a council of war last night, the re.
sult of which was, as we have heard, that the latter were this morn-
ing dispatched in all directions for the purpose of bringing up those
who had promised him their votes, amounting, it is said, to up-
wards of GOO unpolled freeholders. These are at considerable dis-
tances, as are also those of the other candidates, and all that are
hereafter brought to the poll must be an enormous expense. Mr.
ironies' not being apprehensive that his return was at all endangered
hi this osamst, made no exertion, or, at least, very little, having no
Committees, except in Chelmsford and at Colchester; and now that
Tyre4srsed almost in safety, it is questionable whether Western
is in have the county ransacked in order to enable him to
keep is present majority.
In the early part of the morning Tyrell and Western continued
running a-head, but the polling being slow they did not gain in
any material degree, the numbers being at 12 o'clock,
Western
47
Wellesley ... 23
After this, however, Mr. Wellesley's voters began to pour in, and
at one o'clock thenumbers on the day's poll were,
Ttf ll
Wellesley ... .. 49
Mr. Western has put forth a placard, deprecating the resolution
of Mr. Wellesley to keep the poll open as long as the law allows,
asserting that such a principle would drive every prudent man from
the attempt to serve his country. Front this expression some per.
sons imagine that if Wellesley persists Western will give way;
but we should rather suppose their opinions are governed by their
wishes than by any substantial reasons.
At two o'clock the state of the gross polling was as follows s
Tirell . 2034
Western . . 1960
- 1720
At fourWo'eclolellt it stood-

follows :

At half past five o'clock the close of the poll was declared by the
Sherif; when the gross numbers appeared as follow :
Firell - . - 2000
Western . . - 2001
Wellesley - - - 1766
Majority of Western over Wellesley, 230.
As soon as the poll was declared,
Mr. Western presented himself to the electors, and was received
without the clamour with which he had been assailed on the two
previous days.
The several candidates addressed the freeholders, after which the
contest was adjourned until to-marrow (this day.)
