CONSIITUENCY OF THE WEST-RIDING
YORKSHIRE.

' • . ---
We have been favoured with the following summary of the
register of voters. for the West-riding for the year commencing
with the present month, showing the increase as compared with
the register of last year, and we must say we are astounded at
the number. What effect it will have when another election
takes place we are not. at present prepared to say, but of this we
are quite certain, that the conservatives must have registered 7
or 8,000 new voters to give them a majority at the next elec-
tion; whilst the whigs must have added 5 or 6,000 to their num-
bers to enable them to return two whig members to parlivnent.
From the best information we hale. been able to collect we are
inclined to think the majority will be found in favour of the con-
servatives, it being a well-known fact that in many parts of this
riding few conservatives had registered themselves prior to the
Present year. The following are the numbers :

Total Increase 11520
From this it will be seen that in the Sheffield and Dent dis-
tricts, the number of voters have been more than doubled, and
in other districts, viz., 'Wakefield and Leeds,. the number has
been considerably increased. The increase in this town is only
10-1, whilst in some towns the, number has increased some
hundreds. We propose to give a more detailed account of the
ragister as soon as it is published, which we understand will be
in about three weeks from this tine.—West-riding Herald.
