DOVER.

Our election still fines on with a great deal of spit.%
and is likely to continue some days longer, for, to L
great surprise of the old candidates and freemen, two
new candidates were nominated and seconded on Frick.,
afternoon, about two hours before the close of the poi;,
viz. Georp Finch, Esq. and Michael Kingsford, E.
both of this town ; neither of them were present, and
what object Mr. Thomson's party have in nominating
these Gentlemen remains to be defined ; before, how.
ever, the returning officer would allow their names to
be placed upon the poll, he said, that he should expect
the new candidates or some of their friends would pl.
their p,ropoition of the expense of erecting the hustings,
which was guaranteed by Mr. Kennett, the professional
agent of Mr. Thomson. Mr. Holcomb (next to Mr.
Wilbraham) has had by far the greatest number of in-
dwelling voters, and, if he should lose his election, it
will be by the overpowering numbers of the out-dwellers
for Mr. Thomson.

SUDBURY, Iramr, Juxz is.
Our election terminated at four o'clock on Wednesday
afternoon. The numbers at the close of the poll wets—
John Wilk., On.
• 619

Bethel Walisind 490
•
.....Ogilvy • 903
The two first-named Gentlemen were chaired at
seven o'clock on Wednesday evening. Mr. Wilk:,
having the greatest number of votes, took the lead. Oa
Wednesday evening, Mr. Wilks was to have attended
the different benefit and other clubs in the town, as.
cording to the usual custom. The club assembled: in
anxious expectation they waited till ten o'clock. Mr.
Walrend visited them; but Mr. Wilks sent word that he
was so much fatigued he could not attend till Christmas.
Some of the persons employed complain that Mr.
Wilk: is not sufficiently liberal. It is but justice to Mr.
Wilks to say, that the crew by which he was surrounded,
and the hands in which he was in, were such that no man,
however rich or amiable, could have satisfied them. Mr.
Walrond is an elegant, graceful, inexperienced young
man. It is publicly said,and admitted by his friends, that a
sheriff's officer arrived just after the election with one
of Mr. Walrond's checks for 1,0001. and an authority
to make a caption. The Town Clerk sheaved him the
return made by the Mayor, and the officer could only
regret he was not earlier. It is stated that this check
was given when the Gentleman one night was in. his
tops, in a certain hot place in Sr. James's-street, and
that his bankers had orders the next morning not to
pay it. Our unsuccessful Candidate, Mr. Ogilvy, lef:
the town on Thursday evening t he was •attended by
a large and most respectable cavalcade. He made
an address to the persons who attended him, and (with
their full concurrence) he said he would petition
against the return of Mr. Walrond. His Committee
had split among themselves, and we are likely to hate
some secrets worth knowing. Mr. Obadiah Broadhrim,
a friend of Mr. Ogilvy's, was not satisfied with the dis-
posal of SOU for which a check was given by Mr.Ogilr y
to Dr. Syntax. The usual item—" To money expended
in eating, drinking, and paying the expenses of the
freemen to promote Mr. Ogilvy's, interest, 9001." was
not deemed satisfactory. The ing of the Saddlers
supported Mr. Broadbrines motion for further inquiry,
and the doctor, being hard pressed, admitted, that
having taken too much wine on Sunday evening, he
had, unfortunately swallowed 1501. Some physic was
recommended, which the doctor himself prepared-and
took; and it had the immediate effect of making him
disgorge 801. The other money was beyond the reach
of medicine. From the ppwerful effect of medicine, the
doctor is still in a very delicate state of health.
