DECLARATIONS OF THE POLL.

City West.

The official declaration of the poll for the above electorate was made at noon to-day, at St. James's Hall, by the Returning Officer, E. S. Willcocks, Esq. The interest taken in the matter was not very great, only a few electors showing up. The Returning Officer rose, and, without any preliminary introduction, read out the official returns. He said: Gentlemen Electors of City West, I have to declare the following polling, which took place on tbe 9th inst.:- J. M. Dargaville 253 A. Fleming 201 James Wallis 119 Majority for Mr Dargaville, 52. I have therefore to declare J. M. Darga ville aa the elected member for Auckland City West. This announcement was received with applause. Mr Dargavillc rose and said: -Mr Returning Officer and Electors of City West present: It has been ruy desire to win this election unaided by any party cry or class prejudices, on the one hand, or by invoking the aid or intcfeat of influen tial persons on the other. Thanks to the electors generally, 1 have succeeded. I announced myself asa Liberal, and I intend that my political career, be it long or short, hIuiII be an illustration of the meaning I attach to the word Liberal. Mr Dargavillo then moved a vote of thanks to the Kcturning Officer, which was acKhowledgcd by Mr Willcocks. There was no seconder to the vote, neither of tho defeated candidates putting in an appear ance. Some comment was made in the hall upon the absence of the other candi dates. Tho meeting then dispersed.

Parnell.

The tormal declaration of the poll for this constituency took place at the I'arucll Hall, Mr Lodge, Returning Officer, presiding. He announced the result of the poll to be, Moss 393 Monk 215 and formally declared Mr Mosa elected.

The successful candidate, who was received with applause, thanked the electors. In the course of his remarks he pointed out that there were at least 300 persons in the .Parnell constituency who were entitled to vote, but terough their own negligence were not on the roll. He said it was the duty of everyone qualified to secure the franchise. He also referred to the necessity of providing greater facili ties to electors for recording their votes ; he was of opinion that suburban electorates should have polling places in tbe city. A vote of thanks to thn Returning Officer terminated the proceedings.

Eden.

There were about 80 electors present at the declaration of the poll. Mr Collins, the Returning Officer, announced the state of the poll as follows:—■ Tolo Wood Excelsior Hall 295 95 Eden Hall 134 71 Mount Albeit 17 11 Valley Road 5 11 451 188 188 Majority tor Tole 263 He therefore declared Joseph Agustus Tolc, Esq., the duly elected member for Eden, in the Houso of ltepresentativcs. Mr K. 6. Wood was absent, Mr Tole, on rising to return thinks, was received with applause, and said : Mr Re turning Officer and Gentlemen,—The an nouncement of this large and fluttering majority fills me with inexpressible grati tude. I am deeply sensible ot the honour conferred on me through the ballot-box. 'Beyond this personal consideration is the triumph of Liberal principles, that is to say, measures more than men. The result ot this contest proves that the people must rule, that the land of the people must be preßerrod for the people, that I'ic people value political consistency and integrity be yond all other considerations, that there shall be no clafs distinctions in this country, that it shall be deemed as noble and as honourable to come to the poll in an express van, as in any pompous liveried carriage. This contest has bcun conducted, on the whole, in a most orderly manner. I have heard, however, of a few ndisereet and intemperate expressions used, whether by my supporters or others, it is difficult to tell; but in any case I deprecate the use of any disorderly epithets, which neither befriend me nor the political cause which I advocate, I should like to Bay that, however I may differ on one or two political questions with the member for the neighbouring district of Newton, we have determined to work hand in baud in assisting each other for the wel fare nf our respective districts. I thank those, each and every one, who have ren dered me assistance in this contest. I thank' Monnt Eden and Kden Terrace for their faithful majority. I thank Mount Albert for the majority there, where I was told I was least to expect it, and above all I thank Karangabape (who took me on trust from old Eden) ior their overwhelming majority. You have all kept your pledge to support me, and I shall endeavour to keep mine to be faithful to the trust confided in me. I heartily thank the 451 electors who have voted for me. To those who voted against me I tay, my ability, attention, and services are at their command, and I hope that by a faithful re presentation of their views and by a con scientious discharge of my parliamentary duties, their present little prejudices may not only be removed, but will be converted to the confidence of my friends. (Applause).

Mr Tole moved, and Mr Thompson seconded, a vote of thanks to the Returning Officer. — The Returning Officer, S. Y. Collins, Esq., dwelt strongly upon the inviolability and secresy of the ballot, and thanked them for the vote just passed.— Mr Tole said, as a representative of the people, he thanked Mr Collins for his expression abont the secrecy of the ballot, about which there was some misapprehen sion.

The proceedings then terminated,

City East,

The formal declaration of the polling for the return of a member to represent City East in the now Parliament took place in tho Resident Magistrate's Courthouse, High-street, at noon to-day, in the presence of several hundreds of electors. Sir Geo. Grey and Cr. Offer occupied teats to the east of tbc Beach, while Mr J. M. Clark sat alone on the western side. Mr T. Cotter (Returning Officer) duly announced the result of the voting to have been :— For Sir George Grey 349 votes For Mr J. M. Clark ... ... 315 votes Be therefore declared the former gentleman duly elected. The result was hailed -with applause. Sir George Grey then mounted the judicial rostrum. Ho said that in returning the electors his thanks for the honour they bad done him, he would first of all assure them that be would do his very utmost to fulfil the dnties thus cast upon him in such a manner as would be likely to gain their sat isfaction, and to show that they had not made an unwise choice. He would then, now that we had reached the close of the elections throughout the colony, do what was his duty-as one holding tbc position that he did, viz., state what he believed had been the general result of those elections. They would all remember that they had been told in that room that Greyism was either dead or dying. But what he told them was that they must not be led astray by «uch itatcments, for there was no such thing as Greyism. These and other like terms had been attached to persons and to parties for electioneering pnrposes. But what was meant was that Liberalism was dying throughout the colony. Now, no dispassionate man who looked at the present Parliament would deny that Liberalism had grown within a very few years in a wonderful manner in New Zea land, that it appeared to be continually spreading, and that it certainly had never men higher through the length and breadth of the colony, nor in a more entire manner bad engaged the affections of the people tban it did at the present time. He had seen lists published of the results of the elections throughout the colony, and he had noticed gentlemen put down as Ministerialists who had sent him telegrams to a totally opposite effect (a voice: 11 Name "), and it would probably be found that there was a majority in the present Parliament in favour of the Liberals. Now, that would be a wonderful thing even did they only come near the numbers of the Conservative party it would |be an extraordinary result—ono that he had hardly anticipated. But they would find that the colony was much more Liberal in sentiment than was even shown by these returns, for, unfortunately, in many places the Liberals contested scats against one another. They had seen a case of that kind at tho Thames, where almost every

elector had roted for one or other of the Liberal candidates, so that it might bo eaid that the entire constituency wa* thoroughly Liberali At other elections in various parta of the colony the same thing had happened—in many places therd being cither two or three Liberal candidates far the same aeat» The present elections shewed that a very large majority of the people were Liberal in their sentiments: Then it would also be sbcn, a ltd it was Worth while to observe It, that where men had rendered themselves obnoxious, ttt the Liberal party by dttacKs upon Liberal principles or by personal attacks upon those whoupheldin Parliament these principles— in almost all such instances these persons had been put out of the House,and new men placed ahead of them on the poll, through nearly every voter in such districts making it his business to exercise the franchise. It would likewise be seen that in tome case no Liberal candidate had come forward at all in consequence either of delay or of inability to find men who would undertake the duties of a representative, and that whilst in such elections a3 the Tbailies and City East ones nearly every voter polled, in tho others to which he re ferred, the people seeing that they had no chance of returning a Liberal member.shewed such an indilfercnce to tho result that not more than 42 or 45 per cent, of them polled. Therefore from all these circumstances he felt sure that Liberalism had got possession of the minds of tho elec tors, that it was growing, and that it would never cease growing until it had achieved the objects which it had so much at heart. (Applause.) Now, the electors bad been told that nothing had been done for them by the Liberal party. He said that a great deal had been done by that party, if not directly by them, at least through their influence. A few years ago, whon Liber alism Was really uliknown in New Zealand —when for years a Parliament existed which legislated for one class—the mem bers of Avhich legislated for themselves - ho asked if, then, there was any general cry for a general system of education, any cry for a reduction of the duties on the neces saries of life, any cry for manhood suffrage, for an amendment Of the Factories' Act, or for triennial Parlia ments! (Voices: "No.'1) Were those things even hoard of or was there any chance of them being obtained ? (A voico: "No.") Was not the first result of Liberalism a system of education, which wns now the glory of New Zealand? Were thero, in the times to which he referred, any facilities thrown open for men to rise to the highest positions in the State? In England it was now generally admitted that Lincoln Giulielri, Grant, and many other leading men of the United States owed their rise in their country to the throwing open of the legal profestion, and a Bill for that very purpose had at least been carried through the Lower House of tho New Zealand Parliament last session by the Liberals, as well as a measure legalising the making of judicial aih'rrua tiuns instead of sworn oaths, and they would yet be passed. Then too the coun try was indebted to the Liberal party for the Licensing Act, and the amended Fac tories Ace. These were rewards to the people for placing Liberal men in tho House, and if they continued to exercise the same care and vigilance in returning men pledged to their cause, they might look with confidence for further and equally beneficial reforms, (Applause). After ex* pressing regret at the defeat of such old triends and valuable coadjutors as Mr De Lautour, Mr J. T. Fi3her, and Mr Ballance, the speaker went on to say tbat generally there was an advantage iv having, after each diiolutioD, acces* sion* of new men, for if the same members were regularly returned our choice of Ministers would be limited—we would restrict what might be called the Ministerial market—the proper ambition of men to figure in the service ot their country would be repressed—there would not bo sufficient encouragement to make people qualify themsolvea for becominggroat states* men and much opportunity for political training would be lqat. Under those [cir. enmstances he rejoiced that so many new meu had been elected. After impressing upon the people the desirability of the Liberals relaxing none of their exertions, and the importance of causing their representatives to come before them periodically and account for their actions in Parliament, Sir George went on to refer to one or two. accusations which had been made against himself. He said that in the case ot the Canterbury squatter who had been dispossessed of 250 acres, the squatter was a wealthy man, and the 250 acres had been wrongfully occupied by a straining ot the law of pre-emption, while in the case of the land grants which as gover nor he had refused to recognise and eventually suppressed one had been eet aside by the Uovernment to the great in jury of the neighbouring people, and the other had been unfairly taken from the natives and never paid for. his action in the one instance was sustained by the Courts of this colony, andin the othorit wasapproved and ratified by the Judicial Committee of the Pi ivy Council (applause.) In neither case could it be taid that he had acted detrimentally to the true interests of the colonists, yet he had been loaded with abuse and hard names had been applied to him on this account. In trying to keep ths land for ihe people be was the frieud of the people, and only wished to prevent the robbery by a few of the heritage of the many, Those whe rose on the other side and denounced such pro ceedings were men who did not interest themselves further in regard to them—the men who passed validating acts, and who voted for such things. He believed that at the present time transactions were in progress similar to that of Patetere and others of a like kind tending to rob the people of their patrimony, and they wore being done under the favour of that con tinuous Ministry which had consistently encouraged all such things. He admitted that he desired to sec a clean sweep made of all such men,for until that wore achieved the country would not prosper as it should, nor justice be done the people. Mr Clark said that the defeated candi date on an occasion like that was placed in a somewhht awkward position. He wan expected to say something cheerful and to look happy while his heart might be almost dead within him. That was not his case however. This contest bad neither left him sore nor sorry. Ec was not sore of the re sult, for he had scarcely, even when most hopeful, expected more, and at the be ginning hardly so much, Neither was ha sorry that he undertook the contest, because he claimed the result of it more as a victory than a defeat. He had come forward for the special purpose of shewing that if Greyism was not dead it was dying. (Loud cries of "No," and interruption.) He did not mean Liber alism, because so far as he could see they were all Liberals, though they might differ in detail. He maintained that Greyism existed at one time, as the result of the last general elections in this province showed, when all representa tives but two were pledged to follow one man. Now we bad five pronounced Ministerialists and about as many | more independent men. He did not intend to follow his successful opponent through all his remarks, but there were one or two points to which he must refer. He denied, in the first place, that he had raised the feeling for a general system ot education for that feeling was abroad long before be emerged from the Kawau, and he (the speaker) had incurred boiijc odium for advocating publicly a system similar to that which we now had. Certainly the Act was passed by Sir Geo. Grey's Ministry, and h« gavo them credit for it. Provincial institutions and endow ments, however, had previously to that stood in the way, and had Sir George Grey obtained his wiil in that respect it would not have been passed at' all. The Licensing Act was the measure of the Government, and, although many of the Liberals helped to improve it,many of them, including, he believed, Sir George Grey himself, voted against its third reading. He maintained that the case of the Canterbury homestead still bore the interpretation which he had placed upon it, and he stigmatised the act as a pure attempt to evict a man from his homestead. If Sir George Grey in his sub;equent remarks meant that it was he who had said tbat large grants had been set a9ide in this province to the detriment of the people, he committed a mistake. The large estates to whioh he (Mr Clark) had referred were those of Clifford and Wells, in North Canterbury, and to Ready Money Kobinson'a, which were purchased under Sir Geo. Grey's land regulations at 10s per acre. He had been mis-apprehended aIBO with respect to trie land grants. Those to which he referred were made during Gover nor Fitzroy's regime, and yet in face of a royal proclamation that the integrity of the Crown was to be observed in reference to them, Sir Geo. Grey suppressed them —the grants ol the little farmers as well as those ot the big ones. Sir George Grey here stated that the greater part a* this statement was abso lutely incorrect. Mr Clark maintained that it was \ir tually correct, and tho proofs, he said, were in the public records, Committees

wcro appointed to investigate tho matter, and they brought in damning reports of the wrong done, by those' in office.. Sir George Grey • Prodttce tliem; Mr Clarke • Attain Chjshblm wa3 one of the men who had received land back Which had been taken from him as well as com pensation; If anyone, wanted the proofs lie would gttt them. Mf OiKr : 1 want them.

Mr Clark then went on to flay Unit he was disposed to forget everything which the warmth of feeling occasioned by the contest had given rise to. But there vyda one thing that he cotild not forget, and that Was the personal violence offered to him at the Close of the »<oll. At first, he.had been disposed to pat it down to the excitement ci the hour, but upon subsequent reilection,and after ha hodlearnt that at City North theßuc ccsaf ul candidate had had to be carried away by a bodyguard, and that something of the same kind of thing.had transpired &t City West, he had seen reason to blame it iipon the system. He exonerated Sir Geoi Urey and His leading and moat respectable supporters from fill sympathy with anything of the kind, for he believed it had been done without their knowledge or consent, and tonic of them had even been very active in protecting him from violence, but he did say, that|to some extent, Sir G, Greywasresponsibleforit.bymakingspecchcs which had appealed to tbe passions mid prejudices of his hearers instead of to their intellects. Those appeals had given rise to the savage brutalism of which he com plained. (Cries of "No.") If ho wished to be bitter he should only wish Sir George Grey a long life to enjoy the company of these friends that ha was training. Ho thanked the 315 electors who had voted for him, and in doing so he claimed them as co-workers with him in the endeavour to put down that tyranny which was the moat odious of any—the tyranny of the mob. (Loud laughter.)

On tbc motion of Sir George Grey, seconded by Mr Clark, a vote of thanks waspasacd to Mr Cotter, who responded in a neat speech; This terminated the proceedings.

THE WAIMATE PLAINS.

, NORMANBY, this day.

The improvement in the style of the hotels in this district to that of Tarannki is very remarkable. The old identity arrange meuts of Taranaki mean truckling to tbe powers that bo, while noticeable courtesy to all is extended at Normanby Insillts are heaped on the heads of every one who does not coincide with the politi cal views ot the magnates of New Plymouth. The astute correspondent of tho " hy ttelton Times " heard that a certain room in tho hotel at Akato was reserved for officers only, and therefore called himself a general,when questioned by the woman of tho house, On hearing his name of General, the pro prietress apologised, saying that she thought he was only a gentleman settler from the Sontb.

Kokiri, a chief of the Ngaruanui.has re turned and gone home,his people with him, Resignation is their guide, and non-rests tance their hope for sympathy. They trust in Te Wluti, and their belief in the justice of the Europeans and the Queen 1b tbc groundwork of their faith. As the pro cession of natives returns from the South the expression of undisguisedgfaith in the policy of Te Whiti is not hidden.

A scrutiny of votes id the Franklyu North election, which was demanded by Mr Buckland, commenced this morning, and intelligence of the result will be anxiously awaited by friends of both parties. Mr Harris, it will be remembered, bad a majority of two votes.

The first meeting of creditors in the estate of Richard Robinson Martin, messen ger, was held to-day. The debtor's liabili ties were stated at £96 15s. He has no asset?. Mr T, Macffarlanc was elected trustee.

The only case before the Police Court to day was that of Frederick Hummer, on v&rious charges of sending threatening letters and burglary. The charge of send ing a letter to l)r Pbilson was concluded, and the prisoner reserved his defence till the case comes before the Supreme Court. Part of the evidence was taken in the charge of sending threatening letters to Mrs Dobson, of Upper Queen street, and copies of the letters in question will be found in our report. The handwriting differs materially from that in Dr Philson's letters, bnt experts are prepared to prove, that the characters though disguised, were written by the same person. A strong point against the prisoner will come out in Mr Pardy's evidence. When he searched the prisoner's house after the arrest, he found a sheet of blotting paper on which the address, " Mrs Dobson, Upper Queen street, Auckland," had been blotted. The impression is still very clear. A large crowd. of interested listeners filled the Court-room all day.
