POSTSCRIPT.
SATURDAY.
We have no additions to the election returns; but, from the stalest the Irish polls, we see that some of the seats which the Liberal, claimed as secure are in jeopardy. The non-resident freemen in Cork are allowed to vote by the its. sessor ; who admits that they have no legal right to the franchise, us never should have been placed on the register, but, being there, tlust votes must be received. The effect of this decision was to reduce Os Liberal majority from 110 to 40 between the hours of one and four ea Tuesday, the second day. Colonel ACTON, the 'Tory candidate, was at the bead of the poll for Wicklow county, and had a chance of success. The result of the Longford election was very doubtful. The Dublin correspondent of the Morning Chronicle says that Colonel Amt. MUTY will not interfere with his tenantry on behalf of the Liberali; and it is feared they may be bought by the Tories. s In Kildare, RUTHVEN, after polling one vote, resigned ; and the Liberal candidates, O'FERRALL and ARCHBOLD, are safe: RUTSVEN was received with execrations by the populace. He did net, when challenged, directly deny that he had received money from the Calm Club to get up an opposition to the Liberals. Vicente and YATES will certainly be elected for Carlow; though, by the latest accounts, the Tories, Bitereer and BUNBUItY, had a soil majority on the poll.
The following is the latest intelligence of the progress of the elec- tions in Argyllshire and Banfishire-
