We understand that the election petitions on the meetine° of Parlia- ment will be fewer than was ever known after a general election.
There will be one:from Salisbury by the Honourable Captain Bouverie, who petitions against the return of Mr. Wyndham, who was sup- ported by the Conservatives, and had a majority of three on the poll, created by voters who had left Salisbury and ceased to retain their qualification having been brought from distant parts of the country and voted for him : those votes will be struck off before a committee, arid it is calculated that Captain Bouverie, the Reform candidate, will be seated by a majority of ten.—Bristol Mercury.
This week Mr. Lowther's Committee have been paying those "in- dependent electors" who voted for him at the late election, at. the rate of three sovereigns for a plumper, and one sovereign for a split vote. The vote-market was held at the George Inn. So it appears, that ac- cording to Conservative calculation, the elective franchise is deterio- rated to one-third by being divided between two candidates.—York Herald.
We are credibly informed, that Mr. Dugdale, with another magis- trate, signed an order this week on the County Treasurer for.1501. some odds, to pay for special constables and their staves for the two days of polling and chairing at Coleshill. Will the county submit to this elec- tioneering expense, which properly belongs to the candidate ?—Birraing- ham Journal..
We have seen a copy of a notice to quit, signed by three brothers in a firm at Maidstone, and served upwards of a twelvemonth since on a tenant of theirs. During the late contest for the borough, it was inti- mated to him, that if he would vote for Mr. Lewis, the notice should • be cancelled, and no proceedings taken on it. The tenant, however, was incorruptible, and voted for Messrs. Roberts and Barnett. He is • now served with a declaration of ejectment, and in default of finding • another.house must be turned into the street. Let the parties take care they hue not " A Rowland for an Oliver." Similar acts of op- pression have- come to our knowledge, which, at a fitting time, we shall not hesitate to make public.—MaicIstone Gazette.
It is a remarkable fact, strongly manifesting the feelings of the towns- people at the late election for Carmarthen, that notwithstanding Mr. Yelverton's gross majority was but 7, he had in 10/. householders a majority of not less than 92 over his opponent. We have been in- formed that the Tory party in this town have lately entered into a de. 5 termination to support no person, by way of dealing, unless those of their own colour.— Welshman.
