WILTSHIRE ELECTION.

FINAL STATE OF THE POLL

The Election has terminated in favour of Mr. Be.
NETT. The final numbers were:

Fur Mr. Brncrr. ...... 2,436
For Mr. MILKY 2,270
Majority in f.orot;r of Mr. Bream. -166

Tl.e interest excited by this Election has been great
beyond all precedent, and the friends of the respectivd
parties have been much agitated by the fluctuating
state of each day's Poll. At the last Election, which
closed on the eighth day, there were only 3,7% votes
polled; on the present occasion, there-have beta
4,7o6—making an excess of 970.
On the fourteenth day's roll (Tuesday's) the ressilt
of which, in consequence of its being kept open till
after the departure of the post, we were unable to
communicate yesterday, Mr. ASTLEY had a majority
of 16 ; the numbers being for Mr. ASTLEY 75, Mr.
BENETT 59. Both the Candidates afterwards addres-
sed the populace. Mr. ASTLEY asked n hat the ma-
jority of his oppoirent consisted of? Ile would
tell them, it was a majority composed of Trustees for
various Charitable and Religious Institutions ; hot
not a majority comnosed of actual Freeholders in the
County. There was, however, another mode besides
that which was adopted before the Sheriff, of ascer-
taining the qualifications of Voters and Freeholders,
and that might, perhaps, be resorted to under the pre-
sent circumstances-"---(Cbcers.)
Mr. BESETT was indisposed, and said little, re.
serving himself for " the pleasurable occas:on on
which he would have to address them next day."
The numbers polled yesterday, the 15th day, we-e,
for Mr. Benett 50—Mr. Astley 32.
When the Post left ;:alisbury, Mr. BENETT had
not been chaired, and a rumour was in circulation
that there was some intention of dispensing with
such an exhibition en the present occasion, in con-
sequence of the irritated state of the popular feeling.
The Races, which commenced immediately arter
the clo•.e of the poll. had for the moment drawn
away a great pat t of the crowd, and down to the de-
e of the post, there was no appearance of any
not or disturbance. Sir FRANCIS BIIRDriT and 4lr.
HORIIOUSS. were both in Salisbury, hut whether from
'political motives, or with a view to the pleasures of
the turf, it is left to wiseacres to conjecture.
On Tuesday night there was again some distur-
bances at Trowbzidge; the piquets of the troops who
have been stationed there .ince the first days of the
Election were doubled, and kept on duty till day-break.
The troops stationed at Trowbridge, in aid of the
civil power, are a detachment of the 13th Lancers,
the Bath Rifle corps, and two squadrons of the North
Somerset Yeomanry Cavalry. The remainder of the
North Somerset Yeoman, y are at different other
neighbouring towns, to assist in the preservation of
the peace; and another troop of the 16th Lancers
are at Dowton, near Salisbury. None of these troops
will be dismissed before Monday next.

A numerous assemblage of unfortunate persons
assembled yesterday monung at the end q Downing-
street, applicants to Ertl 13ATHWISTOS Secretary of
State for Colonial Affaiis, to be sent out, at Govern-
ment expellee, as settlers, to the Cape of Good Hope.
Ftiday se'uni_Tht, a boat coming from Pot tree to
Broadfor,l, was upset, during a squall. There were
six persons on beard, all of whom were lost. Among
these was the postman froth! the Isle of Skye who
had gone on board probably to save himself the
trouble of walking the distance. The mail-bmabese9
totally lost. Five of the bodies are threw";
the sixth is still missing. - 'cn
