The popular fpirit which has fhesm itfelf in the country proves, that the fyllem purfued by the late Milliners made a deep impreflion on the public mind, and difpofed them to a moil vigorous exer tion for their own deliverance. Had the ambition of individuals to procure Seats been at all equal to the willies of the people, it is not too much to fay that the numbers of the Oppofition would have been doubled in the new Parliament. From the re turns already made above iwenty names are to be added to the lin of thufe who have fliewn them hives the friends of our constitutional rights, and of rational liberty ; and this has been the work of the people themfelves. No Reps were taken to ri , tife and animate them to a fenfe of their condi dition ; but, on the contrary, there was an unex ampled indifference as to the reprefentation, from an idea of the apathy into which the people were funk. Had a jun enimate been formed of their temper, the confeqecnces would have been molt favourable to the genuine interetts of the kingdom. There are yet, however, noble opportunities for popular triumph ; and we tr u R that Middlefex, Kent, Norfolk, and Cambridgelhire, will follow the fpi sited example that the City of Norwich and lb many other places have given. It is certainly fc,r the real interas of the empire, that there fhould always be a throng and refpeiaable Oppofition in Parliament, whoever may be Minifter, and what ever may be his merits. Mr. COKE and Sir Jacos ASTLEY were put in nomination yetlerday at the King's Head, Yar mouth, for the county of Norfolk. On Tuefday laff came on the eleaion for two Burgefres to ferve the Borough of Liverpool in Parliament. At the clofe of the poll on Thutfday the numbers Were : Gen. Garco;ene Gen. Tarlcton 68') I Mr. Birch • 452 Mr. Chalmers Wednefday two Gentlemen attending the Huf tins at Liverpool, had their pockets picked of bank notes to a confiderable amount ; the offen• dery have not yet been difeuvered. It appears thlt in Dover the contell is carried on With the greatell (pi) it by the refpeftive Candi• dates. Voters are fent for f t,m the moll &dant parts of the county, and tick perfons, who have not left their beds for feveral months, have been carried on hirers to the poll. This conten is fo far fingular as it is regarded as.a battle between Mr. ADDING TM and Mr. PITT. Mr. the new candidate for Worceiler, in order • clap an extinguilher upon all hopes of fuccels A ich may be entertained by Mr. WIGLILY and his 7 . tcnd, has refolved to take down the Lon don Voters. Mr. SHERIDAN, jun. and Mr. Octxruners mean, it is Paid, to petition againft the (uccefsful candidates for Lifiteard, on the ground of undue influence. Mr. MAITLAND has declared his intention to pe tition againil the return of Meffrs. DaNviturs and Ilionak, at Chippenham, on the ground that fe veral of his votes were rejected as bad, although they were good. Sir WILLIAM MANNERS, it is Paid, will IMO pe tition for lichefter. Mr. BROWNS and four other candidates, have Mated for the borough of Callington, in Corn wall.—The Eledion came en yefterday. The EleCtion for Coventry commenced on Thurfday, and the Candidates having agreed to poil each two and two, by rotation, the ntmoft regularity prevailed. At the dote of the Poll that d •y the numbers were— Nah.nut jarerr,Efq. - lit I Wilberforce Bir d , Eft!. 6 1 Capt B a rl o w - 61 Pcttr Moore, Efq. 6t The Eleftion for Evefham is likely to continue feveral da ys. There is as much fwearing as if the country people had visited the Poll at Covent Garden in former times. The Gaols are ranfacked for Voters, and not a corner of London is left un. knelled for an Eledor. At prefent the whole di redion of affairs is left to the Gentlemen of the 7.1 w ; fo that the Public may form a pretty good judgment of the expence. It is a difputed point with the Candidates, whe ther the Freeholders are entitled to vote, as has been the cuftom. They have therefore agreed to fuffer them to poll; but should their votes affed the situation of any of the Candidates, the party ag- grieved will afterwards invelligate the right. The Rate of the Polls on Thurfday : Mr. McDuff - Go 174 including 30 Freeholders. Mr. Bruce Ibo 12 Ditto. Mr. Howarth 115 4 Ditto. The oppofition fet up by Captain PALMER for the &rough of Plympton againft Mr. METCALFE and Mr. GOULD, was altogether unexpected. He marched into the Town, which he expelled to carry by a coup de min, with colours flying, at the head of his Friends. Captain PALMER brought forward feveral Free men's forts with the Freemen in his intereft, the former of whom were rejected by the Returning Officer. The haft conteft for this Borough was in Hnufe of Commons—" That the right of elation of the Borough of Plympton, is in the Mayor, Bailiffs, Freemen, and in the Eons of Freemen, who, although they have a right to demand their fitedom, have been refufed the fame." Upon this refolution Captain PALNLIt means to petition. Tae conteft at Lewes has been very warm, and the fitccefsful candidates have (pared no means of fecuring their elation• One voter not having the cleat eft notions, after taking the oaths, was alked who he voted for ? he laid, " Slillj.l.lllf and Co." It was tolerably obvious who he meant, as Mr. SHELLtY and Lord F. OSBORNE united their in terelts; but the anfwer not being fufficient, on be ing further prelred, he raid, " SHEERLY and Part ner." The poor man was fent up to vote for Mr. S. and Lord F. 0. but en the way he forgot the latter's name. and all that could be got from him was," SHELLEY and Co."—" SHILLLY and Part ner." At lift Mr. KIM ~the unfuccefsfulCandidate, who was in oppofitinn to the other two, of if the Partner he meant was not Mr. Kam, ? The man anfwered " Yes," and the vote was fo taken down amidst burfts of laughter. Mr. STIR H ex, the King's printer, comes in for Wareham, in Oorfetfhire. The pickpockct tribe were very bufy at the no mination day at Chelmsford, on Thurfday !aft : fevcral Elks Gentlemen paid fmartly for ailerting their independence, by this light, fingered levy, on their watches and purfes. Sir WATKIN Lewes did not appear at Guildhall yefterday, having been confined ever fince he left the huaings on Thurfday. In the courfe of the poll for the Borough of Southwark,the votes of a great number of perfons have been difallowcd, on the ground of their not paying the King's Taxes or Poor Rates. It ap peared that Mr. HEDGER brought forward thefe perfons as the tenants of houfes belonging to him, or his friends. They paid a fixed rent, and the landlord compounded with the affeffors and the parifh officers for the King's Taxes and Poor Rates. Thefe are called farm vwes, and the Deputy Bailiff declared them inadmiffible. HEREFORD —The nomination of two Members to reprefent this refpeaable City took place on Wed ncfday tall. After the ufual tOrmalities JOHN SCH DANORE, Efq. was propofcd by Dr. CAMPBELL, one of the old& and moil venerable inhabitants of the place. Mr. HATAID feconded the motion for his nomination. Mr. SYMONDS, the other. Member was next no minated by Mr. THOMAS Cooxa, which was fe• conded by Mr. Alderman BARROW, in fpeeches ex prellivc of their entire approbation of his Parlia mentary conduit. After a great burg of applaufe, the Candidates, Mr. &VOA MOR F and Mr. Systowns, were imme diately declared duly defied without one diffentient voice. After being chaired through the principal (tracts, they adjourned to the Hotel, where they dined and fpfnt the evening in the greaten fpirit of conviviality and good humour. MIDDLFSF.X ELECTION.—A circunillance rather curiott, t,,,ilc place on Thoriday lag. The Candi dates for Mitilefex, Sir FRANCIS BURMITT, Mr. Br v e, and Mr. MAINWARING, being refpe&ively upon their canvafs, met at the fame moment at the White Hart, Uxbridge, where they dined along with a large company of their friends. Cary or Loa nott.—Yeßerday at the dole of the poll for the City of London, the numbers were : , Ablenasa Conte 290 t B. Travers, Eli. . 1266 Price - a 760 Sir W. Lewes - 547 Curtis - 25,58 W. Luthingion - 14 Andcrfon zoo Mr Alderman Comas laid, he had again to I thank the Livery for placing him fo high on the i poll. Words were infufficient to exprefs his ac knowledgments. He threw himfelf entirely on their &ppm ; he had nothing to rely on but their favour; and he hoped he fhould continue to the hat moment to remain as high on the poll as he did that day. (This addrefi was followed ly loud flame of applaufe.) Mr. Alderman CURTIS came forward to ad drefs the Livery, but the noife being fo great as even to prevent him from hearing himfelf (peak, he bowed with great good humour and retired. Mr. T[& cis raid, while he acknowledged him. Pelf infinitely obliged to the Eleaors of London for their candour and liberality towards him. it elk) became his duty to acknowledge. the obliga tion he was under to his ft iends who came forward to fupport him, and had (hewn an attachment not only to him, but a defire to preferve the rights, and the free reprefer.tation of the City of London. He thought himfeif hound to fay that he had, fince the commencement of this Elation, been re ceived and treated in the molt honourable manner by his fellow candidates. They had behaved to him like Gentlemen, fuch as they were. Hitherto they had been his friends—he mulled their condua now would rivet and confolidate that friendthip in a manner that it fhould never be remove]. He mutt now tell the Livery that he felt himftlf bound in duty not to call forth the exertions of his friends any more, but that he Ihould retire from the con ten. (el loud esy of No, No, never, never. )-.He (aid, lie hoped he (hould not incur the cenlure of his friends for this voluntary at of his; and that he fhould ever retain tht diem and regard of the Liverymen of London. (This addreft was followed by Ands of opplatfe, and all the other Carukelatesa Mr. Traver: hy the Land.) After half an hour had elapfed, during which time the Livery waited with impatience to hear the refult of this day's bufinefs. Mr. Alderman Cohn at length came forward, and laid, he was &fired by his colleagues to repre fent to the Livery, that a friend of Sir Watkin Lewes, who had been abfent all that day,had hid been requelted to wair on him, to know if he would content to the poll being doled, and tha: Sir Wat kin returned an anfwer in which he refuted to con fent. On that account the Sheriffs would he on. der the neceffity of keeping the poll open till Tuef day next, the day on which it molt dole according to law. But he, and the three•other candidates - ae....1 5.:,..5..a a- _ _u___ __ .. - . - - - rymen in their intereft might not give themfelves the trouble of attending any more to vote for them. They were perfeftly well difpofed in civility to wards each other ; and were it not for what he mua call the perverfenefs of one Candidate, they were ready to fave all the trouble and inconveni ence with which a furtheitontinuance of the elec- tion mutt be attended. The conteft, with refpeCt to themfelves, was entirely at an end; they begged that the Elestors might not be at the trouble of coming there any more.—( Loud afiplaye.) The further proceedings were then put off to nine o'clock this morning. Some of Aldermen Co - RTI s's friends teemed de. firous that he might addrefs the Livery. The worthy Alderman Paid, he was ready to (peak, if they would hear him, and was about to make a fpeech, when, in conkuence of a fuggeflion from the Sheriff, he Lid, " gentlemen, tEe Hall is ad journed, and I cannot fpeak." This laconic ad drefs was received with applaufe, and the Candi dates and Eleaors immediately difperfed. WIITMINSTER.—The utmoft anxiety prevailed for the refult of the poll of yefterday, every exer tion had been made by the new Candidate and his friends, to promote his intereft. During the poll, a perfon whore name we un- , derftood was Lowndes, came forward on the Holt ' ings, and addrefling the Electors, proceeded to cenfure Mr. Fox for coalefcing with Lord Gardner —it was, he Paid, an unnatural combination of oppofite interefts, calculated only to opprefs a i Candidate who had come forward on the princi ples of Independence.—A coalition between Mr. Fox and Mr. Graham would have been more rc- concileable with the fentiments on which they flunded their mutual pretenfions to public favour. He was proceeding, when Mr. Browning, the High Bailiff interfered, and reprefented to him the extreme impropriety of in terrupting the poll, by addreffing the Eleflors at Co unkafonable a period. If he had any thing he withed to communicate, it would be aeting with more regularity to wait till after four o'clock, when he would be free to offer his fentiments. Mr. O'Brien, in the name of Mr. Fox, dif claimed every idea of a coalition between that Gentleman and Lord Gardner. A (mart well dreffed Spark was deteded pick ing a Gentleman's pocket on the Hußings. Two Jews made ufe of the molt petulant and provoking language to the High Bailiff, with which his patience and moderation for a length of time remained unruffled. But as nothing could filence their petulance the High Bailiff was oblig ed, in concurrence with the general cry and ap probation of every decent perfon prefent, to order them to be expelled from the Huflings, which order the Conflables immediately executed. Ole r of them, however, returned by another door. A perfon, we believe Mr. Willock, appeared in front of the Huflings, and gave his vote in favour of Mr. Fox ; when he had done fo, he Aced Mr. Fox for whom he fhould give his fccond vote ? Mr. Fox replied—for whom you pleafe Sir. The clock [biking foot, Nvaa the %nal fur the renewal of thofe fportive effufions which generate fuch afund of mirth and jocularity.

Mr. Graham was much applauded, and but few farcafms were direCted again[ him. The objet of the abufe of the mob was Mr. Fox—/Vo coali tion! and a thoufand abufive remarks continued to be lavithed by the populace on him, till the High Bailiff made a return of the hate of the pol— -1 The numbers were as follow : For Mr. Fox ar94 I Lord Gardner zon I John Graham 583. Mr. Fox came forward. and Paid, Gentlemen, for the bandfome fupport which you continue to honour me with, and by which I am kept at the head of the poll, I have again to return you my warmett thanks. Lord GARDNER entreated his friends to con tinue the fupport with which they had hitherto honoured him; confident that a continuance of that fupport would ultimately place him in the high fituation to which he afpired. Mr. GRAHAM.— Gentlemen, am happy to in form you, that this day I have been honoured with FORTY votes more than I had yellerday; and 1 thould have had thirteen more if my friends were permitted to come up about the dole of the poll ; in short, votes pour in upon me in fuch numbers from all quarters, that I thould be the moft un grateful man in the world, if I did not live my friends and the friends of Freedom a fair oppor tunity of expreffing their fentiments. I am, how ever, fill anxious to preferve the City of Weft minfter from any unnecelfary inconvenience or trouble ; and under that folicitude, I have pro- pofed to Lord Gardner to clofe the poll on Mon day next; to which propofition, if he does not accede, I am confident that your fpirit, when pro ' perly routed, will fupport me in fuch a manner as to leave no apprehenfion about the iffue of the conteft.—ifolaufiv--Don'tgive it in Graham. Mr. Fox again came forward and faid,—Gen ; tlemen, as I am Cony the prefent conteft ever be ! gan, fo am I anxious that it thould be clofed as Ipeedily as poffible. I therefore with it may ter tminate to-morrow or Monday, and under the in fluence of that with, I entreat the EleCtors may come forward as fpeedily as poffible, and decide the matter for whatever Candidate they may be difpofed to vote ; any unnecetfary prolongation of the conteft can be produelive of no advantage to any party or individual.

MVRDFR AND SUICIDE.—A mutt (hocking, and almcit unprecedented at of murder and thicide, was committed on Monday night latl, about eight o'clock, in a yard near the bottom of Cecir...g.l- let, between Litchfield-lireet and Stafford Birmingham. During the fcrvitude of her hu:. band in the army, a woman of the name of Yu... mans, had cohabited with John Ice, a Ord. grinder, who refided in the place above•memi, n ,ed ; and her hutband having returned bon e about a month fince, the kft Jee, and went to live with him again. On Monday night the woman went to Jee's houfe to fettle, or jultify herfeif from "a fmall debt, which he reported the had left unpaid ; but as loon as the entered his door, the monfter, in a paroxyfm of jealouir and refentment, feized her, and cut her throat in two places in a moil dreadful manner with a raeor.— The unfortunate creature gave a loud thriek,and ran into the yard, endeavouring to dote the mo.. tal wound with her hands: the fell ahnoti ly. Jee followed her to the door, and feting her fall, immediately, with the fame inlirument, cut his own throat fo terribly, that he intlantly drop ped down near her, and they both died in a few minutes, with very little ttruggling - nr convultion. The alarm the woman fiat gave brought feveral perfons to the (pot, but the bufinefs was fo terri fying and intlantaneous, that there was not time ; for any one to prevent the man from murdering / hirnfelf. Several medical gentlemen attended, but of no ufe, for the fufferers, though warm, had then ceafed to breathe, and were n. , tifing more than bleeding bodies; they both bled very much. After lying in the yard till a precognition of the ad had been taken by proper perfons, they were both removed into Jee's houfe, where the affair now waits the legal decifion of a Coroner's inquett.
