Tub result of th\ Thorndon election is as follows: \ Newman ... \ 636 Bunny ... ~ \ 379 | Dwau \ 121 We confess that we ale somewhat surpiised at it. Latter* we have had some misgivings as ft Mr Bunny's chances, because apparently he was not fighting the electib in his old form—that form which i\so familiar to many of our readers, andiwhich has so often carried him to the tip of the poll —but we were not preplred to hear that Dr-Newman would Win by so, largo a majority, On bvoM grounds we somowlmt regret the restlt becauso' experienced rather than inexperienced members are wanted in tho House in the present state of the coloiW. We shall be glad, however, toh'ndlhat the; career of Dr Newman as a Legislator justifies tho confidence which hal. to so marked a degree, been expressed™ his favor by the electors of Thorndon. \
