The Bristol election terminated in the return of Mr. Robinson

(local Liberal) over Mr. Hare (local Tory) by 7,812 to 7,047. This shows a reduction in the Liberal vote, but with two local men in the field that may mean nothing. At Newark, Sir H. Storks, who is greatly wanted in Parliament, retired, not to divide the Liberal interest, and so did Sir G. Grey, after finding that the electors did not care a straw about Colonies, at 12 o'clock. Mr. Bristowe, consistent supporter of Mr. Gladstone, was accordingly returned by 826 votes to 651 over Serjeant Sleigh, consistent supporter of,--Serjeant Sleigh.
