COUNTY GALWAY ELECTION.

Galvray, Tbanday Evening. July 6.
This fine election is over at last—the " glorious strnk
e" closed at three o'clock this afternoon ; and Mr. R.

Martin is once more a British Senator I Amore superb
triumph (or the freeholders of Connemara and &Ursa-
hinch has not occurred .4 since the Emerald gem of the
,western world was set in the crown of a stranger!" It
is true, there have been some. six or seven freeholders
and others killed, either by burning, eir stoning, or pis-
tolling; and some forty or fifty wounded—part of whom
may yet die of their wounds; but what then ?-.0. a few
forty shilling freeholders, more or less,* as the agents
say, is of no sort of consequence—they can be put down
in the bill ; and plenty more of them can very easily
be Lade at anytime."

it bade already informed you how the matter went en,
up to MondAy evenin& Oa Tuesday the voting was
again all in favour of Messrs. Daly and-Martin, the old
emancipatory Members ; and not a ringleeie in favour
of Mr. Lambert, the emancipatory candid's'''. As soon
as his koasasystee men fired their pistols of in the
in defence of Air freiholders--insead of leav%g the
to fight' it eistansoogst themselves in the old•and m
approved way-.from that nkoment all his friends d
serted him, and drove their flocks of freeheldett in
Mr. Martin's booths. And truly Mr. Lanihert wane
rightly served. in all this; for what business had id*
Kommy-teamen to prevent the freeholders killing
each other a little? It is their ancient privilege • an 4
neither Mr. Martin nor any of his Kommy-tee interfered
with thatprivilege—not even when the Connemara and
44 Clatalgh" freeholders were burning and braining the
Lamberters by wholesale. Well, as I. said. the voting,
'on Tuesday west all in favour of Mr. Paly and "Squarra
Martin; and it was curious to see how much practice
bad improved the poll clerks in the art of swearing-in
the freeholders—for it is an art and a very great art.-
Nevertheless, in spite of all this prosperity and dexterity,
there were some few instances of stupid refrectoriness
among the Connemara freeholders. One instance may
serve to exemplify that same—ii Coney Keough r
cried a buckish straw-batted driver, to a hard sand
bearded, curly-pated, ragged freeholder, with a ereek•J
ed half peeled 'willow cudgel in his sst, .-Al Corney
Keough, I say I—divil fire ye ! come up to the table,
Sir!" Divil a bit till I get my bmloast out o' ye,"
replied Corney, very coolly. 1 D're say that?' re-
sponded the flaming driver—taking hold of Corney's
collar—" d'ye say that ? then bear to me, Sir..-dive
the breakfast ye'll get at all r and forthwith the moss
magnanimous Corney Keough suffered himself to be
steered up to the swearing table. Whether he got his
breakfast afterwards I know not; but I know the drifter
cudgel was very busy about the beads of some of them
'who attempted to get two loaves instead of one. Many
an unconscionable freeholder having gat one loaf
tossed to him out of the store, would pull it in two, put
one half in the crown of his hat, and, the other in his
bosom, or his breeches, or any where. else convenient,
and then pretend he bad not pt any at all i • a hich car-
tainly was a very nefarious track!. whenever it was
discovered, it was sure to be pu •by a good sound
rip on the sconce. , - -

And then the High Sheriff proclaimed jamas Daly, Kul. Of
Dunsandie, and Colonel Martin, of Dailynahluch and Connemara,
duly elected; and then Colonel Mudn :goads a speech, In which
be vindicated the laws he had introduced for the protection of the
64 ;eerier animils," and promised that in future he would devote
aU his energies tar the protection and benefit .0 Ms •1 worthy
electors." Mr. Daly returned thanks toe the honour thane him in
particular; and he and Mr. Martin both promised Mr. hi'Dermot,
that they would do all they could to mat down :that abominable
Act which put down the Catholic Association ; and there the
matter ended, all the people shouting " Mush.airth ! Long live
Squarra Martin and Miatiter Daly—the craters!!
The chairing is appointed for to-usorrow; but as there will be
more broken heads than interest in the ceremony, I must beg
lease to be absent.

Two bills were presented to the select wtstry of Bury,
on Thursday, ini :ejected by that body, for expenses
incurred fur dinners, wine, Scc. during the late riots, at
which the magistrates, military officers, and other gen-
