WESTMINSTER ELECTION. FOURTH DAY. The Polling yesterday was carried on for Mr. Larnb with progressive and triumphant activity. some of the most respectable of all classes of the Electors of Westminster appeared at the Hustings. The crowd upon the whole were less turbulent than on the preceding day. When the Poll closed at four o'clock, the numbers were as follows : Mr. Hobhouse - 622 Mr. Lamb - - 415 Major Cartwright - - 24 Mr. HUNT came forward, while the Poll was being cast up, and informed the populace that the give, Sir Francis Burdett, would not be there to-day. He had put on his seven-league boots and had left town. Mr. Hoseouse addressed the Electors, and said the exertions of their opponents had raised them con siderably on the Poll that day. At the. same time he could see no cause for despondency— no reason for supposirs . the People of Westminster had changed , their opinions on the subject of Parliamentary Re form. The exertions of the supporters of Mr. Lamb had not only been great, but such as he believed had not been resorted to for many years in the City of Westminster. He found that he had been represented by some of Mr. Lamb's canvassers (who were of all parties) in colours which be had not merited ; and which, if ever he became a public man, it wduld be his study to prove that he had not deserved. In morel than one instance he had been represented, and by those who in all common concerns were entitled to be thought persons of credit, to be a Tory. He could name a much-respected Nobleman who had told the Electors they ought rot to vote for Mr. Hobhouse, because he was a Tory.—(Cries of Name! name ! ) He could not name the Nobleman, for this reason, that such a step on his part would be totally different' , from the course usually pursued in contested Elec-'1 tions. Such a line of conduct having been adopted on the other side as he had described, accounted for the state of the poll. Among the canvassers for Mr. Lamb were persons connected with the Government Ofices—partiians of the present Opposition, and be► 1 hind them sometimes one of the friends of those at the other end of the Hustings. This was the most extraordinary composition ever heard of. The Coa lition Government, described by Mr. Berke as a Mo saic tesselated piece of most curious manufacture, was nothing at all compared with this strange union. In the course of that day a Commissioner of the Navy, who at the last Election voted for Sir Murray Maxwell, came there to vote for Mr. Lamb. His vote was very properly objected to, but it was ad mitted by the High Bailiff. This, however, stood but for one, and he did not fear all the Commis sioners of the Customs—or of the Navy, in London. He was accused yesterday, by Mr Lamb, with being 'out of temper. If he bad been so, he hoped some 'allowance might be made for hitt:, as he was not yet, accustomed to the calumnies of a contested Election.' He had 'expected open abuse from Gentlemen in the livery of the Court, but he had not looked foi that description of trick and artifice to which he had allu ded en the preceding day, for till now he had never, stood a contest with a Whig. He had not suppola the Whigs would accuse him of not being enough of a Reformer for them. Aker the course they had, puisnea, he would notv, in inswet; to a plia had appeared in the form of aletter to rim Ph wh ich in a Morning Paper, thew sehat the Whigs had formerly professed to be, and what they new were. Mr. Pox; In the debate on the Assessed Taxes, in Ja aliorre.l4/98, had contended that a radical reform of Pailiament was necessary ; and he then declared, that 'without a change in the system, he, for one, would never accept of a shale in the Councils of any Ad ministration, or consent to hold any responsible situa tion. livivr, after this, would it be denied by any one that Mr. Fox had made reform in Parliament sine qua non of his accepting office? Such \vete the Whigs of 1798. He would now' ompare them with the Whigs of 1818. In a Manifesto which theybal published in the Edinburgh Review of last June, when speaking of the pledge which the country would ex pect froth any newAdminktration, it is said, that if the Catholic Question could he c a rried, and a mo- dente Reform expected, much would be gained for the country; but np such things ought to be made a sine qua non. The Whig of 1798 would accept of no si tuation without a radical Reform ; but the Whig of ISO 6 did accept of office without a Reform, and doing so, formed a coalition with Lord Grenville, who, in the debate just alluded to, had declared, that so far from voting for, a Parliamentary Reform, he gave his vote, and he hoped all his friends would do the same, as 'a pledge against Parliamentary Reform. The Whigs of 1807 went out of office because they could not carry the Catholic Question. That question was, it should seem, now strongly believed to be given up, and GOD only knew what they would give up next. In the present day there were certainly some Whigs who voted in favour of Parliamentary Refortn, though,they did not consider it of paramount impor tance, as the Whigs of 1798 did. If they did, would their present Candidate be supported by the Court, as Mr. Lamb was—by Commissioners of the Cus toms, by Commissioners of the Navy, and by the Se cretary at War acting as one of his canvassers? He :oak the present Whig Candidate to be one of those pliant, supple Whigs that might be turned about any way—now on this side, now on that, meaning no thing, but always blundering round a meaning. He held him to be one of those feather-beds, always placed between the Court and ahe people to stop the shots thrown by the latter against the former. Now that his Seconder had retired, Mr. Lamb had accused him (Mr. Hobhouse) of being the advocate Of Napo leon Bonaparte. lie had never been the advocate of the tyrant Napoleon Bonaparte ; but he had contended that the French nation had a right to choose what King they pleased. In the Morning Chronicle he had been called a Republican. Had he been so born, he would have died in defending it; but as his fate had given him birth under a different form of Govern- ment, he was well content with that share of liberty which with a King might be here enjoyed under the Constitution, such as it had been originally framed. Ile w'as no more a Republican than the writer of that article himself. But then lie was accused of being loose in his religious principles. When it was intended to attack a man of spotlessiife and character, he was always called an infidel, an atheist, or some such impu tation was urged against him whi.:h he could not rebut. In one respect he was an infidel—he had no belief in the Vtligs. He did not believe they would do :my good for the country. To the charge made against him that lie was Sir I'. Burdett's protegee, he replied, that he felt it no disgrace to participate in that in fluence which the Honourable Baronet had so virtu ouslyatequited. It would be no disgrace that he was esteemed by him whom all the country esteemed. Mr. a Jones bad accused the Honourable Baronet of ingratitude. This charge came well from that man, seeing, it was well known, that his efforts to get him out of prison had sent the Honourable Baronet to the I Tower. Did Mr. Jones, when he spoke as he had done; forget that Sir F. Burdett had been himself consigned to a prison, because he came forward in behalf of him as a suffering and persecuted indivi dual? He could repel every other charge made against Sir F. Burdett with equal ease; but it was for the Electors to decide, from what they had already heard, whether the combination, he had alniqst said,' the conspiracy, which had been formed against him, should be countenanced by them. He (Mr. Hob house) had been accused of not being sincere in the cause of Parliamentary Reform; he would now prove that he was so. Mr. Lamb had yesterday said, that be wished the elective franchise extended to scut and lot voters. This was not going so far as he (Mr. Hobhouse) wished to go ; but if Mr. lamb would to morrow bring a paper, signed by the leaders of his party—(e laugh), or if he would promise, he would take his honourable word, that the leaders of his party would pledge themselves never to come into power without endeavouring to-effect this small Re form, he would, with the consent of those who pro 'seised him, retire from the contest. Gaining this, he did not think enough would be done, but something would be gained for the people ; and, if -he were.re turned to Parliament, the effect might only be to raise one more feeble voice in their favour without avail. Mt. Lama noweansb forward amidst considerable disapprobation; and it was many minutes before be could obtain sufficient silence to ask, "Gentlemen, do you mean to he''ar both sides? or only one?" ' This had the effect of producing some little cessition of the uproar, and as he proceeded, it gradually sub sided. He congratulated his friends on the state of the poll, which he considered as an omen of com plete triumph. Mr. Hobhouse had said he was not in an ill-humour yesterday afternoon, and he was bound to believe him ; but, at the same time, he must say, that his good )tumour seemed to be of 'a very unpleasant cast, (Laughter.) "It has beett said," continued Mi. L, " that I have a very imper-: fectalelivery, and cannot vie with Mr. Hobhouse in the elocutionary graces: Now this was very un pleasant to me; but since he has promised to learn' temper from me, why I will learn oratory from him; and so we shall both be benefited, (Laughter and applause.) I; cannot help complaining, though, of one practice that he has—that of coming here with a parcel of extracts and quotatiOns, of which 1 know nothing, till I hear them from his mouth. Thii is very unfair; but if he would have the kind ness to give me notice of what he intends to quote, I might be better able to answer him--:-(A Li igaJ— Not that I mean to call upon him, in his earnest manner, for an avowal, fort did not even ask him to avow the sheep's head yesterday, and 1 DUI sure it ras a very suspicious-looking thing —(A load laugh'. it certainly would be very desirable if he would ;3t t • , • lease' & discatirses to which lie is achileted, and favour us with a little wit now and then-.(Mort latlhter).—He has told you that n 7`d'oble Lord has endeavoured to disparagis him, by calling him a Tory—whatthen becomes of his charge against me ) of having Courtiers to cans-ass for me ? One word, Gentlemen. on Parliamentary Reform. I think it would be but fair, if Sir Francis Burdett, whose speech of last night I could no more hear than he could mine. were to come and hear what could be said in reply to it !—(Skouts of laughter, trith z le* scattered cries c, " Enough, Sheep face !")—Err Fran cis his told you that. Mr. Hobbouse's plan of Reform is intelligible. - Now, Gentlemen, I hays" looked into •the Dictionary, and I find that the word intelligible means, " possible tb he understood," and so, at some Mature time. soma studious character, like Major Cartwriglajor instance, may make it out !—(.4 . re laughter and applause, wild; " None of yourganmui r) Even the Egyptian hieroglyphics may be made out • again sonic time or other-s-(Laeghter and skout4)-- Mr. Lamb then made some observations on Mr. Hob house's quotation of Mr. Fox's words " Radical Re form," and centended that Mr. Fox, in all probabi lity, might not apply precisely the same Meaning as Mr. Hobhouse to those words ; and his answer to his demand of a pledge from his party, he could erev say was, that he stood.there for himself alone, ..ad 44 was net pinned to the tail of any patty." Mr. NORTIMORE (the late Candidate for Exeter) never felt such anxiety for the liberty of WestiniustsT as lie did at present. If, the attempt to return Mr. Henhouse proved successful, they might expect to see in the next edition of Oldtields Boroughs—" West minster, 14,000 voters ; Patron, Sir Francis-Burdett." He adverted to the ages of General Blucher, the Austrian Minister Count Colloredo, and the Mike of Roxburgh (who had been returned to the present Parliament), •to refute the assertion that Major Cart wright was tits old to sit in the House of Commons. He hoped the Electors would to-morrow come for ward by hundreds to vote for their old and faithful friend. It had been common at the Westminster Din ners to give the health of Maier Cartwright, and the song of Steady she goes was then sung. He would ask Mr. Brooks; and those who now favoured Mr. Hobhouse, if the Major did not go on as steadily as ever? He was persuaded that Ministers were so hostile to Major Cartwright, that if the Whig Candi date had not started, they would have been disposed to support Mr. Hobhouse against the Veteran ; and he should not have been surprised to see " Old Bags, Derry Down Triangle, and the Docter," going up to dive him their votes. Mr. GALL .Toms t idicaled the pretensions of Mr. Hobhouse. He maintained that he owed his impri sonment to the rash, puerile, and contemptible inter ference .of Sir Francis Burdett, but for which he should have been liberated from Newgate in the course of three days, and went 0040 examine the general conduct of the I-Immutable Baronet, who he spewed had done no good in Parliament. Mr. Hoar came forward, but could not obtain a hearing till he had promised the crowd that what be was about to say should be 4 short and sweet." He had yesterday put threequestions to Sir. F. Burdett. He had given no answer to them, and was not there to-day, because he knew he could not answer them satisfactorily, without telling that which was Hot the truth. He had said, as lie (Mr. Hunt) learnt from the Newspapers, that he (Sir F. Burdett) had never deserted a public or a private friend. Ile would ask them, did they remember Mr. high, who, twenty years ago, lent him f,30.001 on one occusioe ? Was • he now his friend? No.—Did they remember Mr. (limier, who accompanied the lion. Baronet when lie went out to shoot poor Paull ? Was Mr. Lawler now his friend ? No.—Did they remember Mr. Paull? Did not Sir Francis Burdett betray and desert him before his death ?—Did they remember 'Colonel Wardle? He (Mr. Hunt) had no hesitation in saying, for he had it from Col. Wardle himself, that the treachery and abandonment of Sir F. Burdett forced him to fly the country. Did they remember Mr. Jennings, who had stood on those hustings for fifteen days? He stated, Sir F. Burdett had aban doned him, and had never done him any favour in his life. Who had been the friends of the Honour able Baronet for the last seven years? Major Cart wright, Mr. Cobbett, and himself (Mr. Hunt.) Ile had never asked a favour of him in his lite. if he (Sir Francis Burdett) had ever conferred on him an obli gation worth sixpence, he doubted nut he would have come there to reproach hint with it. He had deserted Mr. Cobbett ails! Mr. Cartwright, but he (Mr..llunt) scorned to wait for his turn, and had abandoned the Honourable Baronet. They all remembered the con duct of Blue Beard, in the play, who killed off all his wives. Sir Francis Burdett was the political Blue Ikad. He had ,killed off all his former friends, and if Mr. Hobhouse should turnout to be an honest man he would kill him off at last. The business of the day here closed, and the crowd quietly dispersed. FIFTH DAY. State of the Poll this day at Twelve o'clock : Mr. Laws - 925 Mr. Heitman - 690 Major CA atirawas - 30 . ONE 0 CLOCK. Mr. Loan .A., , - Mr. Hossouss - Major CAST W SIGHT - . - 990 - 705 30 W. P. HONEYWOOD, Esq. one of the Members for Kent; is confined at his house in town by a severe attack of fever. Yesterday, about one o'clock, the Earl of Lion*. DALE, while sitting in the Committee on Bank Affairs, became suddenly indisposed. The Committee, in consequence, adjourned immediately. The Nob'e Lord remained in the Committee. room for some time, and seemed to recover considerably. He was then conveyed home in a carriage, and from the latest accoudts which we hake had, his Lordship was not beliesed to be in any imminent danger. This morning, at six o'clock, a fire broke out at the house of Mr. EDMONDS, No. 21, High -street, \Yapping, which totally consumed the premises where it began, besides damaging the house of Mr. VENABLEs, cork-cutter, N. 20, and Mr. Ronson's, iionmouger, No. '22, before it was extinguished. Another fire broke out thisrno aboutnine o'clock, at Mr. PINKNNY's, No. ti, vveit Smithfield, near Hosier-lane, which totally destroyed the upper part of the house. i 1 . 1! I 1 I!
