WAITEMATA ELECTION.

TnE polling for the return of a gentleman qualified to represent the electoral district of Waitemata in the General .Assembly took place at the Devonport Hall and various other polling places throughout the district to-day. A good deal of interest appeared to be taken in the election. Both candidates and their supporters were actively engaged in bringing dilatory voters to the polling places, and special exertions were used to secure a majority at Devonport, which was expected on this as on the former occasion to largely influence the result. Star carrier pigeons had been despatched to all parts of the district (the Wade excepted) to bring in the returns. The irregular communication with the -Wade caused the omission of that district from those provided for in this way, but the general results cannot be much affected by the polling there, which, it may be assumed, will be divided between the candidates in about the same proportions as at the last elec tion.

At the principal polling place, Devonport, there was not so much excitement as on the former occasion, the general feeling being that the electorate would not stultify itself by re versing its decision. Some of the most active partisans of Mr Yon der Heyde on the former occasion were conspicious for their activity for Mr Macfarlane, the cause of the change being scarcely attempted to be con cealed. "I called on Yon der Heyde," said one, "the day after the election, and he wouldn't give me a d cent." The money was evidently freely flowing, and if all could have been bought and sold like cattle, as many confessedly were, the prospects of Mr Yon der Heyde would have been hopeless. Personation was attempted unceasingly throughout the day, and in some cases sueS cessfully. Mr Yon der Heyde was present for a short time, Mr Macfarlane was present and indefatigable throughout most of the day. The following are the returns per carrier pigeons to the hour of our going to press:— NORTH SHORE. (PER PIGEON EXPRESS.) Yon der Heyde 16G Macfarlane 72 WOODS IDE. (PER PIGEON EXPRESS.) Yon der Heyde ... , C Macfarlane 8 RIVERHEAD. (PER PIGEON EXPRESS.) Yon der Heyde ... .:. ... 7 Macfarlane ... 26 HTJIA. (PER PIGEON EXPRESS.) Over a hundred men were present at the polling to-day. The election passed off very quietly. The following numbers were made known at the close :— Yon der Heyde 4 Macfarlane 43 HENDERSON'S MILL. (PER PIGEON EXPRESS.)
