lie. 51anniteston tendered his vote, and the Rape refuted to re.
&ire it.
Mr. Bueon, who appeared as counsel for Mr. Cave and lit-.
Warn, insisted on the legality of the 'cote; and demanded, in tl e
name of Mr. Mannington,.that he should be admitted to his free-
dom, in right of his being a Baron of the Cinque Ports, born at d
residing in Heating". and there paying scot and lot. The Lean ed
Counsel argued. that by the last determination of a Committee of
the House of Comatose, the right of eketion at Hastings wet: voted
in the '• 'layer, juin% and lkeemen resident. not teeeiving alas;*
that, by the charter of he ports, the persons induct d
io this dcbeription of freemen meant all iliac who we e
entitled to the privilefee conferred by the chaser ;
and quoted passages from the charter. and from the
eustuni:ds of Hastings,. for the pt,rpoae of si;!,.
at:inflating the claim now made to be admitted. and to vote w r•-
spect of such admission.
The Maven having eonsulted the assessor (Mr. Belliughaut. of
Battle). and the jurats, decided against the claim. and reload to
iteaive the vote.
Mr. Mannieq,non persisted in tendering his vote, and was followed
by a large body of freemen of the ports, qualified in a sunilar
tuasner. and coming within the provisions of the Chart rs, by
whom the saute demand was repeated ; and on its ben g in each
instance rejected, all of them tendered their votes for Mt. Case and
'Mr. Wane.

Dr. Edwards, in the comae of the poll. nominated Mr. ISrgeent
Teddy as a candidate, in consequence of a Potion that Mr. Crive
might be returned for Tipperary or Leicester, where he had been
put in nomination, and in order that there might he some other
petitioner to the Houit of Commons in case Mr. Cave should be
disqualified.
The same objection was taken by the Mayor as respecting the
other candidata. The tendering of the votes then went on until
half pest three, when the Mayor declared the poll closed.
The numbers of votes polled and tendered then were :
For Mr. Wane.. 174 For General k'ane
kir. Cave
Mr. Serjeant Teddy... 54
Whereupon the Mayor declared his intention not to accept any
of the votes which had been offend for the find three candidates,
and pronounced Mr. Planta and Gen. Cane to be duly elected, who
returind thanks.

Mr. CAVE and Mr. WAIIE AK) severally adthessed the assem-
bly, and declared their determination to carry the claims of the
rejected votes to a Committee of the House of Commons, where the
question of their k-gality could alone be properly tri,d, and i.<<t•'
to quit the contest while a poaaibility remained of csublishing the
freedom of the town.
The tuvernbly then broke up ; the proceedings, hostile as they
were in spirit, having been conducted on eithcr side with perfect
temper and good order.

DOVER ELECTION.
At the close of the poll on Friday evening, the numbers were—
for 51r. Thompson, 345-111 r. Holcomb, 322—and Sir John liar
Reid, 317. 'The latter candidate has the interest of the Lord
Warden, although he appeared at the bottom of the poll as to cum-
bers. A letter from his committee at Dover to their friends its
Lamdan, in explanation, stated, that several coaches, loaded with
wallsrs, had arrived on the Friday afternoon, but were a tiw
minutes too late to go to the poll table; as all these were
pluniptrs, it is probable that, had time permitted, the govern-
ment candidate would not bare had the smallest number to
reckon; and what has taken place since tends to contimi this
supposition.
Friday morning a steam-boat sailed front St. Katherine's Docks,
dammed with flags and banners, and provided with a band of
music. The boat was engaged for the purpose, and had on board
179 voters, whose names had bean registered at the Committee-
room, Bay Tree Tavern, St. Swithin's-lane, all of whom had gone
*a plumper*. The vessel called at different places on the way, sud
received an accession to their numbers. Probably from prudential
motives, the freemen did not reach Dover that night, but on the Sa-
turday morning they made a splendid entry into the harbour, and
nearly the whole town was.on Me beach to witness their arrival. Mr.
Hakemb immediately put off in a boat to get on board the steamer
to canvass tot splitting voters, .but the .freenus mot only tef'*d to
suffer him on board, but threatened him if he approached them.—
Mr. Thompson was more deliberate in his measures, foe he met the
freemen as they landed, and canvassed them ; but there woe cent-
rotatively few of those who had left London on Sir John'i interest
but who had pledged themselves to support him alone. Besides
the known reasons for the out-dwellers' hostility to Mellalanntop
another reason is assigned for their austere treatment of that gentle-
man's approaches--a report reached London that it had hour 'lndus.
triously circulated in Dover, that Sir John had Cloalabotal frith Mr.
Holcomb; and Sir John having; professed to stand alone, the
poreunity was taken to repulse Air. Halcomb, to give apu e atul
practical contradiction to the reported coalition.
Saturday, at the close of the poll, the numbers were,
Sir John Rae Rtid .. 821
Mr. Thomson
Mr. Halcomb ... 810
It is generally considered that the election is already decided, and
and there is a probability that to-day the poll will be finally closed.
The greatest number of freemen who eves polled was below
upwards of 600 of whom were out-dwellers. It is estimated that
there have already voted 1600 freemen, and that not much exceeding
400 more are available. The friends of Mr. Thompson and Sir
John are all satisfied of their resources, and seem to say that the
strength of Mr. Halcomb's interest is expended.,
A special messenger was dispatched yesterday to report the state
of the poll to the Lord Warden, his Grace the Duke of Wel.
