TRIUMPH OF THE LIBERAL CANDIDATE.

FOUR o'CLocx.—As I anticipated, Mr. Harris has been
returned by a majority of at least 20. 1 have not been able to
ascertain the precise number, but I am not far from the mark.
At the close of the poll the numbers were declared to be (as I
was informed, for it was with the utmost difficulty access could
be nad to the house)—
For Mr. Harris
For Mr. Colquhoun..

The utmost enthusiasm prevails and all peaceable, and likely
to continue. Mr, Harris has returned thanks to the electors,
and Mr. Colquhoun is also speaking from his head-quarters.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
A very numerous and fashionable audience assembled last
night at this theatre to witness the re-appearance of Rubini.
The reception given him was a most fervent one. Such was
the universal anxiety to hear again this renowned tenor, that
some plaudits were wasted by sundry mistaken dilletanti upon
the notary who preced Elvino, to the agreeable surprise of
Signor Galli, who represented that sable and silent personage.
Loud and protracted was the applause which greeted Rubini,
and many a cheer mingled with it. Unchanged in personal
appearance, he soon proved that his transcendent vocal powers
had, if possible, gain, dby his migrations. For his rentrie he
had selected La Sonnambula, which has y ielded him one of the
parts most happily suited to his voice, and one in which he wid
certainly ever he remembered. His very first notes were
enough to dese sperer any other pretender to Amina's
hand. He was recalled at the end of the first
act, recalled again after his beautiful Ah ! perche
non posso odiarti," and, when the curtain dropped over
the opera, the most enthusiastic applause summoned
him before the delighted audience twice more, bouquets and
wreaths falling about him every time he came forward.
Though eyes and ears were almost wholly concentrated on an
artiste of such rare attraction, Persiani shone too brightly by
his side not to be entitled to the highest praise. To her, also,
La Sonnambula has afforded one of her most conspicuous
parts; few, indeed, are the rivals she has to dread in it. Ihe
house was well filled in all parts, the pit especially.. Her Ma •
jesty and Prince Albert arrived after the commencement of the
opera, and retired at its close. Her Majesty the Queen
Dowager also honoured the theatre with her presence, as well
as their Royal Highnesses the Duchess and Princess Augusta
of Cambridge, Duchess of Kent, Duke and Duchess of Saxe
Meiningen, Duchess of Saxe Weimar, Count Mensdorf and
four sons, Prince George of Cambridge, Duke of Welling-
ton, &c. &c.

When this cause was called on, and the Jury had been sworn,
it was announced that the parties had agreed to have a ver-
dict entered for the plaintiff, with 3001. damages, subject to a

This was an action brought to recover damages for an alleged
infringement of the plaintiff's patent fur the printing of calicoes

wholly of a technical character, and the case was not con-
cluded at the time when we went to press.
