WELLINGTON.
Tuesday, Feb. 7. The election of members to represent Wellington Ciry in the General Assembly terminated this afternoon. The following is the state of the poll: — Pearce, 379; Hunter, 366; Travers, 345; Richmond, 339; Borlase, 78; Martin, 33. There was great excitement, and the two successful candidates were driven in a coach with six horses through the city. Messrs. Borlase and Martin were Government supporters as well as Messrs. Pearce and Hunter, and this fact lessened the majorities of the two latter gentlemen.
