ST. BATHANS.

(From a correspondent.) Mr. Draper, Road Inspector Palmerston, was here a day or two ago, and, after inspecting the improvements made to the road in the neighborhood of the township, expressed his satisfaction both at the amount and superior style of the work done for so small an outlay. It is satisfactory to learn that Mr. Draper has also pronounced the bridge over Muddy Creek, built by Foley and Party, and subsidised by Government, to be a suitable and substantial character.

The result of the poll here has borne out my expressed opinion, and a good deal now—viz., that nine-tenths of the voters here would go for de Lautour. Cambrian has done better still. In St. Bathans, de Lautour polled 57 votes, Chapman 3, Hertslet 2. Cambrian: de Lautour 25, Chapman 0, Hertslet 0. All honor to Cambrian and to St. Bathans for their strict adherance to honorable political principle. According to telegrams received, Naseby has acquitted itself nobly also— de Lautour 106, Chapman 38, H»rtslet 17. I have every confidence that the returns £rom the several other polling places in the district will be in a like proportion, and then Mr. de Lautour will be in the proud position of having in Jris favor the strongest pronouncement (according to numbers) of any Anti- Abolitionist returned during this election. The odds here would have been stUl greater but that many of the voters known to be in favor of Mr. de Lautour did not come to the poll. Mr. de Lautour should be very proud of the result of this election, and it is to be hoped that he will—in the future, as in the past, prove himself worthy of the almost unbounded confidence which the electors have placed in him
