[from our dunedin correspondent.] Dunedin, August 21. The official declaration of the Caver sham election gives Mr Larnach one more vote in Green Island, reducing Mr Stout’s majority to eleven. Mr Larnach attributes his defeat to coming so late into the held. Mr Stout promised to go to Wellington as soon as possible, and in returning thanks said, “ I do not look upon this election as a personal victory, but a noble assertion by the people that they will not lightly vote away their privileges, I trust that those who have all along asserted that the people desire the abolition of provincialism will see from this election that the press is not infallible, either in its opinions or facts. ” (Press Telegraph Agency.') * Auckland, August 20.
