SATURDAY NIGHT.—The elections to-day have terminated
in the defeat of moat of the Liberal candidates. Sixteen
councillors retired, and of those newly elected eight are
Tories, seven Whigs, and one Radical. The election has not,
however, turned on politics, but on a question involving a
matter connected with the government of the borough, and
the majority of our councillors are in favour of " amalgama-
tion," as it has been phrased; there is, however, still a con-
siderable majority of Liberals in the Corpora ion. All the
elections passed off quietly.
DERBY.

SATURDAY EVENING. —ll;eWunicipal elections for this
borough tcok place to-day. but they excited very little inte-
rest, there being no opposition except in Bridge Ward, where
the two Liberal candidates were returned by a large majo-
rity. The town-council now consists of 22 Liberals, and two
Tory councillors, besides 12 Liberal aldermen.
LEICESTER.
SATURDAY.—The elections here to-day have been nearly
all one way, there being in the seven wards 12 Liberals and
2 Tories returned. In East-market Ward only a contest took
place, Mr. Thomas Burgess and Mr. John 'Allen being the
Liberal candidates, and Mr. Jeremiah Briggs the Tory. Tha
latter was thrown out by a majority of 40 votes, the num-
bers being for Burgess 130, Allen 121, and Briggs 81. Two
Tories were returned without opposition for St. Martin's
d, and fur each of the other six wards two Whigs were
returned also without opposition.
LINCOLN.

SATURDAY.—Three years ago the corporation of Lincoln
was exclusively Whig4Zadical, but during the past year the
numbers have stood—Radicals, 11 ; Whigs, 7 ; Conserva-
tives, 6 ; of these the retiring councillors were—Radicals,
3; Whig, 1; Conservatives, 2. The result of this day's
election Las been the return cf all six Conservatives; in
two of the wards there was no contest, and in the third the
majority was nearly 100. The relative strength of the par-
ties is now 10 Conservatives, 8 Radicals, and 6 Whigs. The
latter most frequently vote with the Conservatives, and it is
expected that a Whig mayor will be chosen without opposi-
tion ; but should the Radicals start a candidate, the majority
of the Whigs will join the Conservatives, and a Conservative
mayor will be elected.
