THE LATE ELECTION CONTEST AT CHELTENHAM. Mr S. Onley, one of the wont respected inhabitant 6 it the town, a member of the Liberal party, is now lying in a very weak stow from the effects of the brutal treatment he received at the hands ot his opponents after their defeat, while he was on the road to compliment Mr Samuelson at the hustings. Fears have been entertained of his final recovery, but the ground for apprehension is rapidly being removed, mt . he is progressing favourably.
