LYMINGTON

The four retiring conservatives re-elected, defeating the
radicals who opposed them.

MANCHESTER.

All radicals returned, the conservatives not interfering in
consequence of the dispute about the chsrter.

MACCLESFIELD

Seven conservatives returned and five radicals

This result was anticipated ; the bankruptcy of Mr. Ryle
not only having deprived the conservative cause of his once
powerful influence, but being supposed to have caused some
of the losers by it to transfer a portion of their chagrin to the
cause which he supported. The result, after all, however, is
only a loss of two, the great majority of the council being
still conservative.

ROCHESTER.
The conservatives elected by large majorities
WALLINGFORD.
Four conservatives returned.
COLCHESTER.

The six conservatives whose term of office had expired
were re-elected, in spite of the most strenuous opposition on
the part of their opponents.

YORK

These elections terminated in the return of seven conser-
vatives and five whigs. On the 9th of November five whig
aldermen and one conservative alderman go out of office.
The members of council who will have votes in the election
of new aldermen stand as follows :—conservatives, 29 ; whigs,
13—conservative majority. 16. The conservatives have,
therefore, the power of electing all the aldermen from the
canservative citizens if they think proper. At all events the
conservatives are securely in the ascendant for years to come.

DEVIZES.

Six radicals have been succeeded by six thorough conser
vatives.

The conservatives have now, for the first time since the
operation of the municipal reform act, a majority in the town-
council; this will enable them to carry the election of alder-
men on the 9th.
In addition to the usual election of aldermen there are two
additional vacancies, occasioned by aldermen losing their
qualifications on the burgess lists. When these are filled the
conservatives will have 18 and the radicals only 6 in the
council.

GRAVESEND
Six Conservatives returned.
HARWICH.

Four Whig-radicals went out by rotation. The friends o
the constitution elected their candidate by an overwhelming
majority.

HULL

Five Conservatives went out. Five returned and seven
Radicals. There are at present in the council 13 Conser-
vatives and 43 Radicals, including aldermen.

GUILDFORD.
The four Conservative candidates were duly elected.

CHESTERFIELD.

All four Conservatives returned. Nine Conservatives an
seven Radicals now in the council.
NORTHAMPTON.

This borough, as is well known, has for some years been
under Whig rule, though various and strenuous efforts have
been made to free it from their domination. It is represented
by two Whig-radical members, and the corporation had be-
come exclusively liberal. On Monday a victory was achieved
which will, in its results, be of the utmost importance. It is
the stepping-stone to the overthrow of the Whig dominion
in Northampton— Northampton---an earnest of the improved feeling of the
inhabitants. No exertions were spared on either side. It
has been a fair stand-up fight, and the Whigs have been
worsted. The town is divided into three wards, and two
councillors were to be returned for each ward. In two of
of these wards the conservatives have been triumphant ; in
the third they failed.

There was a contest in Monmouth Ward, for which Mr.
William Bird and Mr. Knight, two staunch conservatives,
came forward, but the two old members were re-elected.
The fact is, that the conservatives of Hereford regard the
affair with indifference, and take very little pains to oust the
corporation of is whig-ridden borough, being satisfied that
the system must, in a year or two, fall to pieces of itself.

BRIDGEWATER

Six conservatives have been elected to the Town Council;
thus, in a borough which was disgraced by a council exclu-
sively taken from the radical list, not one radical can now
obtain a seat in the council.
