The Reformers of Warrington feel quite confident that they will be able, at the next election, come whenever it may, to relieve Mr. Blackburne, of Hale, of the trouble of representing or misrepresenting them in the House of Commons. Mr. Entwisle, of Foxholes, M.P. for Rochdale, will also have an opportunity of retiring into private life.
The revision of the register for Maldon has ended in the signal discomfiture of the Tories : '92 persons who voted for them at the last election have been struck off the lists; which with 7 new claimants expunged, make 100 votes minus one which the Tories have lost, while the Reformers have only lost 41, namely 37 old votes, and 4 new claimants. This gives the Whigs a clear majority of 58 At the next election, says the Colchester Gazette, the Tory Corporation will be out, and the Whig Corporation in ; the consequence of which will be a gain of at least 30 to the Reformers, and a corresponding loss to the Tories. The revision has decided that this borough shall no more be represented by the Tory interest.

The Reformers of Maidstone have struck off 42 Tories, whilst the Tories have only expunged 10 Reformers.
At Halifax, the Reformers have obtained an increase of votes to the amount of 455, while the Tories have only an accession of 85.

The result of the Truro revision has been the addition of several electors in favour of the Reform interest ; which, with the certain dis- missal of the present close corporate body, will insure the return of Mr. Tooke, and probably with a colleague of equally Liberal senti- meats.
