CITY OF DUBLIN ELECTION.
The faction have, notwithstanding the profligacy
of their bribery, says the Freeman's Journal, no
confidence in their cause. The chicanery by which
the freeholders have been delayed in polling, has
given the enemy a temporary majority, but this
delay, however vexatious, does not diminish the
number who are determined to support reform.
There is time enough ; every freeman and free-
holder shall have ample opportunity of expressing
his sentiments by his vote ; men must bear a little
fatigue and vexation for public principle—the asser-
tion of which is, after all, the best mode of pro-
moting each man's private advantage. Let no one
be discouraged by the result of the first two days'
polling. The enemy has wasted his strength. The
freeholders he cannot purchase, and they will ulti-
mately turn the scale and decide the victory. It is
a positive fact that as many freeholders were
polled the first two days of last election more
than the barefaced effrontery of the faction has
allowed to be polled on Friday and Saturday as
would give a majority to the reform candidates.
Besides the declared majority is much greater than
the real, on account of the frivolous objections
against freeholders that are to be decided by the
assessor.

CLOSE OF THE POLL—SATURDAY.
The deputy assessor in the freeholders booth retired on
Saturday about five o'clock, and the instant he did so, a tre-
mendous rush was made by the people towards the bench
generally appropriated to the reporters, and in an instant
thetas well as every other part of the Court was crowded to
excess. The following gentlemen were then severally called
upon to address the assembly, which they did in most pow.
erful and able speeches—Mr. Lawless, Mr. Ball, Mr. P.
Costello., Mr. it. Barrett, of the Pilot, Mr. H. G. Curran.
Mr. Thomas Reynolds, Mr. J. A. Curran, Mr. Marcus Cos-
tello., and Mr. Walsh.
Upon the conclusion of Mr. Walsh's speech the High
Sheriffs and the candidates came forward. The poll was
then announced as follows—

WA have seen a letter from Beeuniarie dated
Sunday. The writer briefly states that no more
bodies had been washed up ; but every exertion
was going on to recover the remains of the un-
fortunate sufferers. Forty-five were recovered
down till Saturday evening, consisting of men,
women, and children, and were immediately con-
veyed to Beaumaris. The scene was heart-
rending, and the melancholy catastrophe has ailed
the whole town, as well as the (moony gewerally,
:with grief. Only twenty-one were saved, it is
now supposed, out of sob hundred and eighty 1—

Upwards of forty of the lash Members mat at
Lord Altborp's residence in Dowiiing-street, on
Thursday, at noon, pursuant to invitation. Lord
Althorp, Mr. Stanley, Sir Henry Parnell, and Mr.
Spring Rice, were at the official chambers to re-
ceive them. Shortly after the arrival of the mem-
bers, Lord Althorp and Mr. Stanley severally in-
formed them that they had been called together,
in order to suggest for their consideration a
plan respecting the yeomanry, which it was hoped
might meet the views of all parties. The yeomanry,
they thought it right to say, could not be disbanded.
Such a measure would create feelings which it
would be unadvisable and injurious to provoke.--'
On the other hand, considering the actual evils in-
cidental to the present system, it was one question
whether the yeomanry force was a good one, and
another whether it should be disbanded. Mr. Stan-
ley, who was the chief organ between the govern•
meat and the members assembled, bore produced a
letter, which be said he received from Lord Angle-
illy. The noble writer (said Mr, Stanley), man
of the imperfections of the existing constitution of
the yeomanry, and anxious to render the force air
