Lord illamaavd.i.s, in returning thanks, said he felt peculiarly
grateful to those who had worn his dirtingt:ished colour. ; but still
ha shonld never forget those who, ahhough they bad warn the co.
lours of his opponent, had always treated hint with respect sod
friendship.
Mr. Fsr.r.owes begged tip-electors to accept kis thanks, and his
assurance tlj ut it the sae line r.f conduct which hadlithertt:obtained
their appreibatieu, would be adopted by hint in future.
bird Jon N Rosetta. said, 6. Gentlemen, although I
have been &rested is this contest, still there never isms
4 driest less accompanied with circumstances of dis-
grace. We bays fought bravely and well, tad it victory

has not crowned our efforts, still h is a prize reserved I
for us in other times. There cannot be a stronger'
proofor the indepeadence which we have achieved, thin 1
the fact thlt there have appeared 858 electors for us ;1
and altb ooh our opponents can boast a larger number,
still; looking at the plumpers, the advantage is all on
our side. Thus there are, for Lord Mandeville, only 27;
for Mr. Fellowes, 55; but for myself, cs 46 plumpers.
In referring to my Parliamentary condnct, I can assure
you my wishes have ever been to do my duty. I have
never wished to add to the burden; of the people, or to
diminish their liberties; and I retire from this contest
with the pleasing satisfaction of not having to bear either
your censure,.or the reproaches of my own conscience. I
trust that those you have now elected will represent you,
I will not say more honestly, but more ably, than I have
done—(Loud cries of "that is impossible"). I now take
my leave of you, full 'of gratitude for the confidence
you formerly bestowed on me, and for the generous
support you have now afforded me.—(l-iis. Lordship
retired amid loud and continued plaudits).
Mr. Parma, the Barrister, said, the return of Lord John Russell
had been, certainly, for the present lost, but the cause of independ-
ence had been most certainty gained.
L•rrd JOHN RUSSSLL begged to propose a vote of
thanks to the High Sheriff, whose impartiality and at-
teoti n were well known, and were a theme of admi
ration with all. HoWever they might differ in other
points, that was one in which they must all epee, and
he trusted that now the contest was over, the feelings it
had excited would be forgotten, and universal friend-
ship prevail.
Lord Ilaiunrests: was mosttappy in seconding the motion.
Mr. Firt.Lowss begged to say, be fully concurred in the motion,
and rho sentiments by which it was accompanied.
The HIGH SHERIFF, in returning thanks, assured the
Meeting that ail he had aimed at was the performing
of his duties in a fair and impartial manner, and he was
most happy in receiving their acknowledgments.
The Meeting was then dissolved.

TAUNTON. TIMIDAT, Tulin eCcocir.
The contest to-day has been very s'sarp, violent
struggles being made by each side to get at the head
of the poll. It is difficult for the buffs to recover their
loss on the two first days, in consequence of the other
two parties having split their votes, and thus polling
two tallies to one; and this advantage, which is said to
have been unfairly gained by the Blues, occasions much
irritable feeling. . Mr. Buncombe, a very respectable
and influential man here, entered the hustings to-day,
and having even his own vote, tendered votes for Mr. F.
Baring, as his agent, one of which being refused as out
of turn, he delivered the following prote,t to the assessor:
" Oa the part of Eraacis Baring, Esq. now a candidate at this
ekcdoa, I protest agalast your mode of taking the poh, and require
that the •otes for track of the candidates shall be taken in rustiest,
u was done o last Friday and Saturday.
(Signed) "JOHN BUNCOII BR, Agent to W. Baring."

VAIITABLZ, also, as proxy for • Mr. Mildasy, enteric' his
protest, alleging that voters were not allowed to come to the poll in
Ur. klildmay's interest. A good deal of strife has manifested ltseU
toJday on giversl occasions, arising from the causes before men-
dossed, and it will be kept up until the close of the election. Up to
three o'clock, however, the several ponies, with occasional devia-
dons and broils, conlkseed to poll a blue and a bal. Mr. Lawn
Lappears for Mr. Cromwell; Mr. Williams for Mr. Boymoor ; and

THE BATTLE OF WATERLOO.

BRUSSRLS, Jima 17.
Oa occasion of the eleventh anniversary of the gloriass Beak of
Waterloo, the Magistrates have resolved that the bells of the
churches shall announce this national solemnity both this *Owing
and tomorrow. Te Dews will be performed in the church of
&. Michael and St. Oudot; and there will also be thanksgivings in
the Protestant church.

The mound to be raised in the field of Waterloo Is nearly finished
—a great part of the stones for the pedestal. on which the colossal
lion is to be placed, are ready, maul of them weigh til,ooo pouni•.
From the top of this mound, which is tin feet ►igh, we command a
horizon extending six leagues every way—the forests on the Sombre
—the heights of the Plain of Jenelle—the forest of Soigne to its
skirts on the side of Thiemont.—and the first villages of Heshaie.
The laying of the platform, which will be seven yards in length,
will be commenced next week.
