SUItREY—StUND DAY w ( ZOMILIDAY).
The poll was opened this morning at nine o'clock, and
t%le voters continued to arrive with great rapidity. The
Erst comers conrsted chiefly of faimers and persons
!tom the tower pain of the county; the greatest part of
whom voted for Mr. Sumner, and many of them plum-
per. A change was,
.however, soon effected, by the
arrival et. Mr. Yallmer's friend, from Kingston and the
neighbourhood of that town. The votes for Mr. Pall-
:Tier so •n became so numerous that his position on the
;:o3 was changed, and he gained a d tided advantage
(-..er Mr. Sumner As, boa ever, most of the freeholders
tolo voe! :or him voted also for Mr. Denison, that
gentleman kept at the head of the poll up to 12 o'clock.
In the course f the hour between 11 and 12 o'clock it
was said that Mr. Palltner polled 187 votes. :%Ir. Dent.
son also polled with great steadiness, and continued to
i..ep his ascendancy. Up to two o'clock the election was
carried on very vigorously, after which it began to fl

In the mean time the bustle cr:mmon at electir,ns pre-
vailed, but without as muJi noise and confusion as
might have been expected. The rabble were laudably
drunk at a very early hour in the morning; but, as in
the town of Guildford, they had not their usual advan-
tage of ntmberb (the decent peoole forming decidedly
the majority), they did not cut a very great figure.
Their opera.ions were principally directed against Mr.
Sunner and his friends, whom they abused unsparingly.
They screamed, " No red-11-2rrings," until their throats
were sore, and exclaimed against the tread-mill with
an emphasis which would satisfy any one that they had
a practical knowledge of all the objections against
that instrument of prison discipline. One villain, "as
ragged as Lazarus in the painted cloth," roared "No
Corn Laws," with as much enthusiasm as it every
monthfUl of bread he ate was not paid for by som—
body else ; and another, so drunk that he could not
utter any other two words together, was remarlcahly clo•
quent on the subject of "No Popery." Mr. Pallmer,l
for the purpose, we suppose, of doing away the doubt
to which his reply to Mr. Sumner yesterday had given
rise, poste i a placard, inscribed " Mr. Pallmer, the
friend of the Protestant religion." This, together with
a small effigy of Paul Pry wearing his colours, and
some very pretty young ladies, who kissed their hands
indefatigably to the crowd, and more, perhaps, than
all, his success, made him a great favourite, and kept a
continued crowd before the windows of the house in
which he hid his committee.

nom two o'clock until five the poll went on slowly ;
a:,,1 at the latter hour, the Sheriff having adjourned to
t.l! Court-house, the number of votes was announced
to be as follows:

Mr. Denison
Mr. Palmer
Mr. Sumner

672
655
603

The Rev. Mr. Besot then rose to ask three. questions of Mej
Balmer, the nature of which will be seen by that Gentle man's reply.
Mr. PALLM ER rejoiced in this opportunity of answer-
ing the questions of the Rev. Elector in as manly and
explicit a manner as he desired.—(Applause). First,
with regard to the Catholic que-tion, it was difficult
for any man to say in what shape the Catholic question
might appear. The concessions required might be very
few, anal such as nobody would refuse. In all these
-sari( us shapes the question might come before Par-
liament, and if they did, he should then have to make
tip his mind. He did not mean to be evasive; if he
was so, let him never have another vote.—(Applause).
But lie should teserve his opinion, and he refused now,l
as he had done before, to give a pledge.—(Cheers)—
As to the bias of his mind, he said to-day as he said
yesterday, that he would fight and die by the estab-
lished
religion of the country. He hoped he had
been, as he assur, d them he meant to be, explicit,7
(Applause). Respecting the negroes (for the name of slave
he hoped to see abolished), he had to make some distinct
avowals. He should be happy to give the Rev. Gen-
tlem.in at a private and better opportunity any informa-
tion on the subject; and if he should be sent to Par-
liament, he would give him all the assistance in his
power to carry into effect any benevolent intentions he
might have formed on their behalf. To the questions
of the Rev. Gentleman, he replied, that the negroes
were married and christened by a Clergyman of the
Established Church. He had no more right to presume
that that Rev. Gentleman had neglected his duty than
that the Rev. Elector had neglected his. He had no reason
to believe that he was less careful of his sacred duties than
he saw this Rev. Gentleman was of his electoral tights.
(Cheers.) He, however, rejoiced to tell him that, to,
the best of his belief, he did not wish to be obscure, but
as well as he could tell by the information he received
of what took place 4000 miles off, he believed that
they were prepared before marriage, and not separated
afterwards. He hoped he had answered the questions
in a clear, candid, and manly way. (Loud cheers, mixed
tsith some hisses).
The Rev. Huon M.Neit thought they had a right to
require a pledge on a subject which involved the per-
petual existence of a Protestant King, a Protestant Par-
liament, and a Protestant religion.
Mr. DENISON said, that his promise of yesterday had
proved prophetic ; his name did stand, as he had said it
would, at the top of the poll. He was unprepared for
a contest, but he was satisfied the electors of Surrey
would not desert a faithful servant. To-morrow, he
believed, they would see his name still higher ; and the
greatest cause of his rejoicing at this was, that they
would shew the country that the principles of Surrey
freeholders were the same. Whenever he should turn
his back on these principles they might turn their backs
upon him, and he advised them to do so. In the anti-
cipation f returning them thanks to-morrow, lie bid
them good night, and GOD bless them.
Mr. PALLIIER said, that the Catholic question, of
which they had beard so much, would, be believed,
never give him so much difficulty as he now felt in re-
turning thanks for the favour they had done him in
placing him as they had on this day's poll. He looked
upon it as a pure and satisfactory indication of the
public v.lll. Long might the constitution have its royal
pediment and Corinthian pillars, but might the public
voice ever be its foundation—(Loud Cheering). Let the
spirit of our holy religion rervade it every where, but,
r.ot appear too much in the building itself.
Mr. H. Susamitt then rose, but the dreadful tumult
which prevailed rendered it impossible for him to be
Le..: d for some time. At length, lie said that after
having heard from all sides that the county was satisfied
its old Members, it was not surprising that he had
tot lied time to bring fioni di-tant parts of the county
st-ch a weight of votes as would have superseded thc
