The Waitemata Election.

Thk polling for the election of a member of j the House of Representatives for the electoral j district of Waitemata took place to-day. The oontest has excited a larger amount of. inter eat than any previous'election for a single borongh for many years past, owing mainly to the remarkable qualifications of one ot the candidates, Mr J. S. Macfarlane. A very active canvass had' beten carried on in this gentleman's interest, and voters were brought from the Thames last night, passage paid. Such were the exertions put forth to secure Mr Macfarlane's return that his friends, j were.confident of sdecessy more especially as > Mr Yon der Heyde's supporters, considering j the claims of his opponent so preposterous as j to leave him not the shadow of a chance of election at the hands of an intelligent consti tuency, had rested on their oars, and had, not been so 'vigilant as they might" have been had a worthier foeman been iff] the field. However, neither of the candi dates lacked energy to-day, and electors were raked from 'Severy conceivable corner.' We have no doubt that a comparison of to-day's j returns with 'those of the previous elections in the district would show that a great§r number, of votes have been polled than ;ever before. Conveyances ©f various descriptions'were plying about the city and'at, the North". Shore for the convenience of the " free and in depeii'dent,^ and , free s passes : by the steamers 2jb' Devonport or Stoke 3' Point from the " committee-rooms of both candidates. It was too. bad and de cidedly "mean, however, for the supporters of one candidate to fasten the cost of their car riage on the-gentleman they.: were opposing, as some We said to have done, and we must Bay thatono possessing such boasted money influence ought really,.to hand over to a local charity the difference between the number of votes-he polled and the passages he paid. Star pigeons,-which are now indispensable at an election, were dispatched to all the polling -places.. Unfortunately the weather was«P thict throughout the that the birds may not find their way in before night comes on, but.wepublish below the returns, as far as received, and Bhall issue the others as they arrive. The eagerness to dot up the numbers of one of the. candidates carried his friends beyond the bounds of the law, and -one or two cases ot personation were de tected and stopped, , ■ .

DEVONPORT.

The election opened at this place quietly, and so proceeded till about noon. As each' >>oat arrived a few voters' came to the ballot 1"* there was nc excitement. Still "tiiderable amount of qtiiet box, "uisfru.J_■ '■'■'• :"'r u '■ S.s" paid agents, there was a-co*., i "^--ts. The personatiion, and " J&i, ... ; . "-»<», were indefatigable in theif env- - ._^ Baron De Thierry was to be seen every^«»^ surrounded ever by a small knot of x»l»ok fellows, to whom he was expounding the great principles of the franchise, and our swarthy but noble brothers exhibited their ability ,to appreciate the rights of British freemenj and laying aside their own names from time to time performed with great ability the duty of representing absent friends, who from death or other unavoidable cause were prevented from being present. One of them Eingiora; he that figured in< the Upper Queen-street prostitufcion-o'Hm "* %?*&£ case, was bowled out at the ballot °f: and retired to obtain an explanation •* fc 9 .unegpected contretemps, ■ But bless £ oulsoul the stoppage ot one or two HL^bing, aadthe proceediogs at Devon* *°*titofp£& mwsn w.Wmttag

KJaiS. i^el^cteditwillevidentlybe .by Maori votes, and he will fittingly appear in Wellington as the choice of the Maoris of Wttifccniata. As -the day advanced pro ceedings became more animated, and each boat -arriving brought larger numbers of the free and independent. It was almost pos sible to divine from their locks for whom they wr,rf> goirg to vote, all the ill-looking scoundrels bting as sine as a shot to be going for " Jai S., J> and with scarcely an exception all the respectability expressingitselffully for Mr Yon der H.eyde. The contrast between the supporters of the two candidates" was such as to cause remarks from im interested bystanders. The two candidates j appeared on the scene about noon. "Jai S." i appeared to merely content himself with ! Seeing that his agents were at their several | posts, relying on the power of the golden j key, and retired to carry on his lawsuit in. ' the Supreme Court. Mr Yon der Heyde i mingled among the electors, and continued i hereto the close. The great obstacle to_ Mr ' Vftn der Heyde's success was that he is so ! little known. Many said "We don't know anything about Mr Yon der Heyde," bur. when asked "Do you know anything about Mr J..S. Macfarlane," replied, "Oh yes. a great deal too much," and voted accordingly. Towards three o'clock proceed -1 ings became very animated, and although | every one felt confident that the province i had not yet gone so far as to j. be represented by Mr J. S. Macfavlane, the extent of personation gave some grounds for alarm. ; • The following were the polling places : — I i ' Yon der Mac ! Beyde. farlane. ! Devonpprfc V \...\ \J.. iIGO ,-. 91 !

THE HUIA.

Having missed the steamer we despatched a reporter on horseback this morning to the Hiiia with a pigeon. We. have received the following message from : — '" A »&£ Half-way between the Whau and the Huia.

I left a pigeon at the Whau and went on towards the Haia, but when I got to a house which I suppose is half-way I lost the track. The door of the house i^asf locked, and'l could find no one to diredtine."^ After riding down several tracks, and getting bogged, I thought it wiso to return to the house and wait until the. return of the occupant.
