The history of City Elections we believe will mot be
found to furnish an instance of a contest so eagerly
roweled on, and so equally supported as the present.—
Mr. WAttamAN took the least of the loan Maros at an
early hone this morning. and his majority, on the day's
poll, has since progressively increased.
.11 the moment we are now writing, Mr.W. is only MI
votes behind Isis antagonist ; and. juicing from the num-
ber of his friends which were incessantly arriving when
we left Ilnitilhall, we still think him certain of ultimate'
sueress. The other Candidates remain in the same po-
sition as yesterday. with the exception of Mr. fl ilson.
who is rapidly giving way to Mr. Wood. Mr. Thorp
has declisseil its favour of Mr. Waithissan.
The crowd in the neighbourhood of 4nildhall is exces-
sively gr.-at, and every ronntenanee appears to express
