Mr. Teruel% having concluded his canvass, left Devonport on Thurs- day the 7th, to resume his official duties in Lornlon. Mr. Leach's friends and supporters have also concluded their canvass ; and on Thursday evening they held a meeting at the Townhall, to consider what further steps should be taken. The admission to this meeting was strictly limited to those who had signed the requisition to Mr. leach ; and being declared to be of a private character, we cannot give a detailed report of what took place ; hut we understand that after some discussion, a resolution to the tbllowing effect was adopted—" That the Committee having obtained so large a number of signatures, with assurances of support from a still more numerous body of the electors, determine on carrying Mr. Leach to the poll. That a copy of this reso- lution be communicated to Mr. Tanen." The number of signatures obtained by the Committee in their canvass is, we understand, about 360. The total number of registered electors for the borough exceeds 2,100. We augur well for the ultimate success of the Liberal cause, that the great body of electors have refused to pledge themselves while there are three candidates in the field soliciting, their suffrages. No Conservative candidate has yet appeared, but we are promised one in good thne.—Deconport 7'clegruph.
