Wilts (South). The. Close Of The Poll Sh...
WILTS ( SOUTH ) . The . close of the poll showed—for Jlr . Sidney Herbert , 1517 ; Mr . Wyndham , 1445 ; Lord Henry Thynae , 1269- His Lordship is therefore defeated , and the former members were returned . When the three gentle-- wwirere addressing the electors , much amusement was caas « u a _ , jfj .. Wyndham reading hid speech , aud , at the beginning ot ever , , finteilcC ] referring to the manuscript , which lie endeavoured to c ^« . O ! X i jn ii 3 hat . " But the crowd , " says the Times , " were too sharp for Him , and , observing the direction in "which lila eyes ¦ were turned , almost drowned his voice in cries of— ' What is that in your hat ?' . ' Is it printed ? ' ' You should have got it off by heart j-esterday ! ' These interruptions , followed as they were by roars of laughter , seemed somewhat to disconcert the lion , ' gentleman , who experienced great difficulty in making himself heard amid the sounds of merriment -which burst from every side . " Everything , however , passed off-with great good humour . HUNTINGDONSHIRE . The official declaration of the poll here has revealed a very singular and perplexing state of ' things . ' The numbers were—Rust , 1192 ; Heathcotc , 1106 ; Fellowes , 1106 . There had been many contradictory statements as to Whether Mr . Heathcote or Mr . -Tellow . es had the majority , the friends of each claiming the victory by a bare excess of one vote ; but the result , as officially announced , has taken everybody by surprise . " There appears , " says the Times , "to be a disinclination on both sides to enter into a scrutiny ; it is probable , therefore , that they will proceed to a fresh election . Nothing definite , however , will -be known until after * the writ is returned on the 30 th of April . Anticipating the probability of another election , both candidates have started on their canvass . "
Me, Bright's Farewell Address. To Tiie E...
ME , BRIGHT'S FAREWELL ADDRESS . To tiie Electors of wee Cur of Manciiestee . . Gentlemen-, — -I have received a telegraphic despatch informing me of the result of the election contest in which you have just beeii engaged . That result has not greatly surprised . me , and , so far as I am personally concerned—inasmuch as it liberates me from public life in a manner- which involves on my part . ' no- shrinking from any duty—I cannot seriously regret It . I lament it on public grounds , because it tells the woild that many amongst you have abandoned the'opinions- you professed to hold in the year 18-47 , and even so recently as in the year 1852 . I believe that slander'itself has not dared to charge me with having forsaken any of the principles , on the hpnest support of -which I ottered , -myself' twice , arid was twice accepted , as your representative . The charge against me has rather been , that I have too warmly aud too faithfully defended the political "views which found so much favour with you at the two previous elections . If the change in your opinion of me has arisen from my course on the question of the war with Russia , I can only say , that , on a calm review of all the circumstances of the case—and during the past twelve . months I have had amplo time for such a review—¦ I would not unsay or retract any one of the speeches I have spoken , or erase from the records of Parliament any one of the votes I have given upon it , if I could thereby reverse the decision to which you have come , or secure any other distinction which it is in the power of . my countrymen to
confer . lam free , and will remain free , from any share in the needless aud guilty bloodshed of that melancholy chapter in the annals of my country . I cannot , however , forget that the loaders of the Opposition in the recent contest have not been influenced by my conduct on this question . They were lesa successful , but not less bitter in their hostility in 1852 , and even in 1817 , when my only public merit or demerit consisted in my labours in the cause of free trade . On each occasion calling themselves Liberals , and calling their candidates-Liberals also , they have coalesced with the
Conservatives , whilst now , doubtless , they have assailed Mr . Gibson and myself on the ground of a pretended coalition with the Conservatives in the House of Commons ! I have esteemed it a high honour to be ono of your representatives , and have given more of mental and physical labour to your service than was just to myself ; I feel it scarcely less an honour to suiter in the cause of peace , and on behalf of what I believe to be the true interests of my country , —though I could have vviahod that the blow had como from other hands , at . a time when I could ha-vo been present to moot face to face those who dealt it .
In taking my leave of yon , and of public life , let mo assure you that I can never forget the many—the innumerable—kindnesses 1 have received from my friends amongst you . No one will rejoice more than I nhall in all that brings you prosperity and honour ; and 1 am not without a hope that , when a calmer hour . shall come , you will say of Mr . ( Jibson and of me , llinl , as colleagues in your representation for lun year .- ) , wo havo not sacrificed our principles to gain popularity , or bartered our independence for tlio einoluinouts of ollic . o , or the favour * of the groat . I feel that we have stood for the rights , and internals , and freedom < if ( ho people , nnd that we liuve not tarnished the honour or lcuHcmd the renown of your eminent city . — 1 am now , as I have hitherto heen , very faithfully youm , John JJukjiit . Florence , March 31 , 1857 .
