HONITON, June 17.

The Poll closed this day, and the numbers were--

As the dissenters had previously promised Mr. Bradshaw before Lord Cochrane's arrival, it was impossible to turn them. All hands are determined to vote for Lord Cochrane next time, and I think Bradshaw has made his last speech in this town. Lord Cochrane assured them on the Hustings of his determination to offer himself here again the very first vacancy--a determination which was received with the greatest joy even by the Bradshaw party.
