WILTS ( SOUTH ) . The-close of the poll showed—for Mr . Sidney Herbert , 1517 ; Mr . Wyxulham r 14 : 45 ; Lord Henry Tliyiras ^ 1269 . His Lordship is therefore defeated , and the former members were returned- When , the three gentlerneni-were addressing the electors , much amusement was caused by Mr . Wyndham reading his speech , and , at tie beginnuig : of every sentence , referring to the manuscript , which' ha- endeavoured to conceal in his hat . tl But the
crowd , says the Times , " were too sharp for'Mm , and , observing the direction , in . which , his 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 -yesterday F 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 , boweyei , passed off with .-great good ¦ humour . '
HUNTINGDONSHIRE . The official declaratiou of the poll here has revealed a very singular and perplexing state of things . The numbers were—Kust , 1192 ; Heathcote , 110 ( 3 ; Fellowes , HOG . There had been many contradictory statements as to whether . jlr . Heathcote or Mr . Eellowes had the majority , the friends of eacli claiming the victory by a bare excess of one vote ; but the result , as oilicially 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 THE BlECTOKS OF THE ClTY OF MANCHESTER . Genti / emex , — -I have received a telegraphic despatch informing me of the result of the election contest in ¦ which you have just been 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 world that lriaiiy amongst you have abandoned the opinions you professed to hold in the year 1847 , 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 honest support of which I piFered . nryself twice , and was twice accepted , as your representative . The
charge against me has rather been , that I have too warmly and 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 coarse on the question of the war with llussia , I can only say , that , on a calm review of all the circumstances of the case—and during the past twelve months I iuive had ample time for such a review—I would not unsay or retract any one of the speeches I have spoken , or erase from tlie records of Parliament any one of the votes I have given upon it , if I could thereb 3 reverse the decision to which you have come , or secure any other distinction which it is . in the power of my countrymen to
confer . I am free , and will remain free , from any share in the needless and guilty bloodshed of that melancholy chapter in . the ' nnuals 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 Averc less successful , but not less bitter in their hostility in 1852 , and even in 1847 , when rny only public merit or demerit consisted in my labours in the cause of free trado . On each occasion calling themselves Liberals , and culling their candidates Liberals also , they have coalesced with the
Conservatives , whilst now , doubtless , they Lave 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 one 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 suffer in the cauae of peace , and on behalf of what I believe to be the true interests of my country ,- —though I could have winhed that the blow had come from other handy , at a time when I could have boon present to meet face to face those who dealt it .
In taking my leave of you , and of public life , lot mo assure you that J can never forget the- inuny—tho innumerable—kindnesses I have received from my frienda amongst you . No one will rcjoieo more than I shall in all that brings you prosperity and honour ; nnd I nm not without a hope that , wluui a culmcr hour shall come , you will any of Mr . ( Jibmm and of me , that , an colleagues in your representation for ten yearn , wo have not Baoriiiced our principles to gain popularity , or bartered our independence for tlio emoluments ' of oflicc , or tho favours of tl > o great . 1 feel Unit wo liavo stood for the rights , nnd intereatH , and IVoudoin of ( lie people , and that we have not tarnislfod the honour or lessened tho renown of your eminent oity . — 1 am now , an I have hitherto been , very faillifully * youM , John Ihuuuv .
