The follswing are some additional particulars to those we gave yesterday respecting this inttrtstir.g Contest : ME. PLVNE!TT was proposed by Doctor PUIBMIS, and seconded by Mr. RUSSELL— Mr. Cumuli by Doc tor BARRETt Vice-Provost, and seconded by Doctor LLOYD. Nothing could equal the anxiety to ascertain the state of the Poll, which continued to be evinced from the moment polling commenced. Every variation and vicissitude was communicated with telegraphic celerity to all parts of the University. Several speeches were made in the course of the day, but the great noise, the immense crowd, and the overpowering heat, made it extremely difficult to collect the sentiments of the different speakers. Ir. the course of his speech Mr. CHOKER paid Mr. Pl.-.2NICETT some compliments on his talents as an juicy Lawyer ; but said he seemed, on the present occasion, to plead the part of a Criminal Lawyer, criminatidg every one on his (Mr. Croker's) side, and With a success that threatened to rival a Learned Gen tleman whom he had in his eye. Mr. PHILLIPS, who was sitting at the hustings, and towards whom Mr. Croker appeared to be loos ing, asked whether he was meant? Mr. CuoKEa said, there could be rothing humili ating to the Learned Gentleman in a comparison with Mr. Plunkett. Mr. PHILLIPS said, there certainly would he no humiliation in a comparison with Mr. Plunkett. Of the expressions which had been used he thought very little, but for the source whence they came he had much contempt. The ballot was then proceeded or. several objec tions were made to the votes of some of the electors, whose scholarships will expire in July next :—this question had been previously submitted to the opi nion of the ATTORNEY and SOLICITOR GENETtAL, and it appears they differed in opinion on the subject ; the latter being in favour of the right of the scholars to vote, the former against it ; to this opinion the PROVOST acceded, and hose Gentlemen were preven ted from giving their votes. Mr. WALL (Fellow) said he - voted for Mr. Plun kett, and he spoke for no other purpose than to ex press his " indignation"—(Bravo, bravo—shouts of applause)—at the base and secret attempt which had', been made to rob the University of its Representative, and the Representative of his well-merited distinction. Alluding to the other Candidate, he said—" The Colle7e would be for ever disgraced, if it were to send Croker to Parliament in the place of its late member ; and that by such a proceeding, the electors rould instify his conduct."—The election was not over col ei g ht o'clock.

A highly respectable number of the friend! of Sir SANCEL ROMILLY dined yesterday at die Ctbirn and Anchor ; Mr. JAMES MACDONALD, M. P. in the Chair. Among the company were, Lord Lltracarmow, Hon. W.

When this man liiiiiieen proposed, some said they had never - beard oniinr.— Great GOD ! was there an Englishman v.ho *had never heard of him? If there could he one man ig norant of Sir Samuel Romilly, he ought to leave politics altogether, and confine himself to the labours of that Court which•he adorned and dignified, since his political exertions were so unnoticed and- unavill ing—(applause). But he was well known ; those persons tesvhom he had alluded Wore able only to ,‘ hint a fault and hesitate dislike ;" they stood up to criticise a character beyound their. comprehension— (great upplaut e). While they were thus cavilling, he was labouring to purify the criminal Coda of the country, to amend the institutions of justice abroad, to economise public expenditure and to piocure. although different' en entertained different opinions on the subject, a substantial reform of thc represen tation. To these objects his time, his talents, and his eloquence, were devoted—(greet applasue)—and while they in their canvassing went about to prevent the poor mechanic from giving him his v. illiag vott, they could not prevent him :.-om bestowing his bene diction on the friend of the poor and the oppressed —(applause). Some men's merits appeared in froth. Sir Samuel Romilly's appeared in his actions—(greati applause). He concluded by proposing the health of Sir Samuel Romilly, which was drank with the ut most enthusiasm. . Mr. Rositu.y returned thanks. He wis cure that the approbation of wax a company was ample re ward to his father for all his exertions in favour of ,the people and their rights—(Great cpplause.)-14e hoped his father would himself have occasl'n soon to thank them in far abler terms than he was car able of duing—(Applause.) The health of the 4,006 who had voted for Sir Samnel Itouti was next drank. • The CIIAIRMAN said he must now suspend the hi larity of the company for a moment, while they tes tified thqr respect and gratitude io the dead. Ile proposed the memory of Charles James Fox—(Long and continued applaax.) The CII.IIIINIAN then proposed the health; of " The Members for the City of London, and thanks to the Livery for having by their votes, proved their sense of libertv"—(Great applause.) " The Members for the 13c:rough cf Southwark, and the Electors Who did themselves honour by returning them:'—(app/ause.) Sir ROBERT Wthsox returned thanks for himself and his colleague. He hoped to merit their thanks, by acting in a manner worthy of the genet °us exer-. tions of the Electors of Southwark—(C:rout applause.) He hoped Sir Samuel Romilly and Sir Francis Bur dett would not only be successful now, but would be returned again and again to the benefit of the Empire, and to the general advantage of human na ture—(Great applause). " The success at rational Reform." " Bennet, and the cause of humanity." Mr. BENNET returned thanks. He forcibly urged the most active and persevering exertions as indispen sable, in order to counteract the aristocrat'.:al force brought against them. Of this force he had known in. stance:. Six or seven had gone at once to the Imses of electors, and threatened to take away their custom if they did not vote against their consciences. Ile knew the facts, he could name the individtials, and .he would name them hereafter, when he hoped the pub lic would hear of it, who went to their tradesmen and others dependent upon them, and told them, that if they did not give plumpers for Sir Murray Max well, they would employ them no longer-=(llear, hear.)—He then entered into details, as to the best means-of counteracting this conduct. The company parted at an early hour, highly gra tified by the address and spirit with which the Cham- Man had maintained the conviviality of the day, ' which had been heightened by some excelle it songs ' and glees sung by Mt, and other profftional men.

This had prec teed scores, nay, he /right say hundreds of votes for :heir adversary, from rer setts who would no: heee come-forteard for him, bait for the foul treatment he had received. He pitied the Court Ctioilideee. who had been forced to of himself to theta, without having even any claim en them for his professional services. Though he knew him to be a.gallant man, yet he sertul.d not hear :t comparison with the Iluods, the . Gardners, and the Cocluanes. . Mr. STURCH said, as they seemed determined— nits:can:tate r. as he thought—not to hear the Go vernment advocate for the gallant Captain, he had nothing to reply to ; but he was convinced that if they had allowed themselves to hear that Gentleman there would have been very little to answer in what he said. Ile had to congratulate them on the state of that day's poll. Ile considered it as a sure ;nal ' cation of their speedily defeating the enemy. When be said enemy, he did not mean their opponent, the ' gallant Captain—hut he meant Lord Castlereagh and Company —(ojoplawe ). It was domineering Court influence which was their enemy.• But he trusted that over that influence they -would finally obtain the victory— ("applause ). Let him exhort them never to forget the g reat object they had in view. He knew they all of them had their particular partialities. Otte rnivje. prefer Sir Francis Binelets to all men ; another might prefer Sir Samuel Ito milly ; but they ought to recollect that they had t ereat cause to suppert, which ought to be dearer to them than either Sir Francis Burdett or Sir S.tmucl Hominy. There were two classes of persons in this country. One of these classes consisted of those who considered the people nothing ; who would have I them to believe that Kings and Priests were made to ride on them, for the people had nothing to do with the laws but to obey them. The other class believed that all jnst and rational Govern/neat was &tie:xi - from, and ought to be exercised for the be nefit of the people—that the object of all Govern. meets ought to be the promotion of the liberties and happiness of the people. Now, however much they all of them might have their patticular partialities, he would say, aril when he said so, defy any man to contradict him, that both Sir Francis Burdett and Sir Samuel Romilly belonged to the one class, and that the gallant Captain, however excellent his pi vete character might be, belonged to quite a diffe rent class.--( ,, So kdoes.")--lle Intreated them to go to all their friends, and telf them to vote for Sir Francis Burdett and Sir Samuel hornilly—terp/cees). Mr. P. WALKER said, . the Gentleman W/10 advo cated the cause of the gallant -Captain, had dwelt a good deal on his regard for the Constitution.
