DoasExsnirtn ELEc1'IoN.—The state of time poll on Thursday was as
follows : Ponsonby, 1,759 ; Ashley, 1,777 ; majority for Ashley, 18. The advance of Lord Ashley is attributed by the Tithes correspondent to a " hit" of cottagers, each holding about time eighth part of an acre of common, whose votes have been allowed by the assessor. There are yet 400 votes undecided before that officer. Both parties are sanguine of success; three more days will show on what grounds.

The unanimous approbation of 1511,000 of my fellow-countrymen is no triding honour ; I itch sincerely thankful for it, and I beg to assure you, that it gives me time highest gratification.
• " The large majority by which the Bill lute been lust in the House of Lords is, I fear, a very serious calamity. It can only however, posti:one the success of our cause; but I beseech you i t ace all your hilineace, not merely to prevent any acts of open violence, but any such resistaoce Lt the law as is threatened by the refusal to pay taxes. Such a course as ibis is the cue least likely to promote our success."
