THE GENERAL ELECTION. The first election for the Legislative Assembly under the Redistribution of Seats Bill took place yesterday, and below we give the returns up to an early hour this morn-ing. In the Gippsland electorates, it will be seen that so far as is known at the time of writing, the contests have resulted exactly as was generally anticipated, Messrs A. Harris, for the Central, A. M'Lean for the North, F. C. Mason for the South, Henry Foster for the East, and F. C. Groom for the West, having been returned by majorities which leave no room for any remak further than that the electors have no unmistakenably emphasised their decision at the polling booths as to leave no doubt in regard to their opinion of the fitness of the various candidates who presented themselves for their favors. Mr Charles Mackintosh, as was anticipated, has lost his deposit by a consideralde number of votes, and several others throulghout the colony have found themselves in the same unenviable position. We have re-ferred to the election in our leading columns, but from the lateness of the hour at which our message finished we have not been able to deal exhaustively with the results as a whole. Except where otherwise marked, each electorate returns one member. The following are the figures to hand:— GIPPSLAND CENTRAL (1).
