He had now polled nearly roo Freeholders, and among them he aifitred the meeting there was not one who voted from fear, or hope of reward ; they could have fupported him only from the pureit motives, from b e li e ving that he tilled as their true Reprefentative, for from the firfl hour he was honoured with the choice of the County of Middlefee down to the relent day, he never ceafed to feel that he was appointed to rrefsrve the rights and liberties of the people, and ire to barter them for any mean, dirty confide rations ~ f perfitnal interefl.—(Appiatilii.) Sir Fe snots BURDSTT expreffe.d his hope that the afranhly would give him credit for pat ticipat in!, in 311 the ientiments they had :ruff heard from their favnurite Candidate, forwhom he entertained the moll fliteereeffeem and refp:4l, and whole pre. tedence. on the poll rejoiced hint as much as it could any of his particular fiends, for he (honk! always be glad to fee him maintain his majority ever that Candidate who was the common :Imago titi of thofe principles for which Mr. Ilyng and himfelf were equally interefted. He declared that it was with heartfelt pleafure he perceived the free el,:aion was about to commence. The cooks, rex tow, airnfm.,:n, bell-ringers, ;with clerks, con !tables, and Magiarates, with perfons cf a fimilar defeliption, kem now Altogether exit:tolled, as fur nearly the two La hours the friends of Mr. Ju(tice Mainwaring had not been able to drag up another voter to poll ; this therefore was the time in which the Friends of Freedom fhould augment their at. tieiry, in order to put a finilhing (hake to that von lc which he conceived to have been lii happily et noncom!. He took occafoin to call the atten tion if the Elelors to an advertifement which ap y.arti from Mr. Mainwaring, in the newfrupers iik.;ning, and which, It addict ts) that of vilerday, au ilotting treasonable purports to all assn r•fted 14 hint, contained a charge aeainft l'irrlielf if defiring to disturb the peace of the "int) ; but he would challenge Mr. Mainwaring, Ar 4iir of his adherents, to cite any part of his et , ffdtea flute: the commencement or the Eleaion, Wzit had any inch tendency, while on the other ttl h,: could adduce malty intlances in which the lratei and Bow-fireet Runners, who Acconi- P n i,J Mr. Mainwaring every day. gave thong V'emc;itiuni to the people to excite daurhanceand F , • . , .Lnc.

Tins fa& could not be denied. It was laid. however, by the defenders of Mr. Mainwaring, that their only °Med was to frighten the child, but the was ado:illy committed—and for what ? For insulting the Chairman of the Committee, by whom the fyltem pradifed in Cold Bath fields Prifon was patronifed and direded. Whole con duet then, he would beg to know, was calculated to interrupt public tranquillity ? Surely Inch vio lence as he had defcribed would be fufficient to ir ritate are clafs of men capable of feeling. It was for the common lenfe and humanity of the public to judge whether the man who could approve, or rather order, filch a proceeding, pntfeifes a difpo fition and char:id-4r tit to rlsrefent the county of Middlefex, or to have the management of a ptifon in which keret ptrkcutiou is, - has been, or at leall may be pra&iied, and where the malig- nant pallions of the mind can have full !Cope.— What would he the (late of this girl if fcnt there? Mr. Mainwaring in the till inflame ailed as a runner and accider, alter the Ihould have been time time sunder the care of Mr. Ark, fir whofe humanity Mr. M. inkaring vouched, though he was pretty confident no other man in England would do fo—[a cry of true, true], the would he brought up before M r. Ntainwaring, who would have to pronounce final judgment upon her ; therefore he would have to ad the fever:it eharad os,of Run. ner, Accufer, Magiflrate, Judge, and Jailor. He thought the fail with refpe.t to this girl fidficient to thew the temper of Mr. Mainwaring and his party, and to repel thole bale, unfounded calum. nious charges which had been propagated againtt his ft iend • and himfelf. The encouraging Rate of the Poll that day, he nutted, would terve to ele vate the Ipirit, and to augment the activity of the Fliends of Freedom. He hoped they would ufe every poffible metfure, and that they would not be reltrained by any nice punliilins in retifiance to a patty inveterately hotlile to thole Rights, to al ford them an opportunity of Alerting which, had k-en his only obit& under Heaven for (landing there this day. A Gentleman of the name of Mammy, who flar ed himfelf to be Mr. MAINWARING'S Counlel, laid he was extremely anxious to reply to the very le rims charges made againit his friend. He did to chiefly from his refpeet fur public opinion; although he himfelf might think thole charg es Learned Gentleman war hero interru pted with loud cries of—Of! Of!) Mr. 1. - mousse/a, the Birrifter, then came for ward in the character of Counfel for Sir F. BUR DETT. He begged that the Freeholders would do the Learned Gentleman who kilt addreiled them the Office to hear what he had to fay. If any re fledion Ihould be thrown out againif Sir F. &K- V ETT, he would be ready to anfwcr it. Mr. Marinox then addielled the people a fecond time. He laid he was prefent when the cireum dance of the arrett of the girl at Kenlington took place. He hoped that thole who were themfelves the friends of freedom would not allow either a friend or an enemy to he treated with injottice.— He would affert that there was no foundation fur the charge that had been made againli Mr. Main- WARING. The fad WAS, that as Mr. MAIRW•RINO was palling along, a piece of hard cement was thrown into his coach window ; and thinking it highly improper not to nartice filch an attack, he caufed a learch to be made in the houfe from whence the EWA:ince appeatedto have been thrown. It was naturally fuppoled that this girl threw it, and he would admit the had been taken up by mif take, but he denied the was committed. It was thought neceffary, by taking her up, to afford a wholefome example to the mob, and prevent them from committing fimilar outrages. FEROU%SOR 01001/C.LiIIAI what Sir F. BUR OCT r had Rated was admitted by the Learned Gen tleman who (poke lall to he the fad as to all the material points of it ; but he laid, by way of et cure, that the whvile of the trantitdion was a mil take : therefore, in his conception, a poor girl could be dragged away from the houfe of her parents to Bow.firect, and kept there till eleven o'clock at night, and then it could be all excufed as a mil take ; and that it was neceifary, in order to terrify the mob, that an innocent gill Ihould be hurried away from Kenfingtun to Bowdlreet. lie.would leave it to the Eledors to judge how far this doc trine WAS confident with jultice and humanity. Mr. F. then Bated, that a coach belonging to Mr. MAINWARING's train attempted to overturn a gig belonging to a Gentleman then indent, and this on the very evening the girl was taken tip at Ken iington ; meielv becaufe this Gentleman carried ' in his hat one of Sir Francis Burden's ribbons.— He could mention many initances of the violent and infident behaviour of the Bow-Inert Officers on the road between Bremforil and London, if he conceived it nee:Ai:try at that time.

In the STAR of yefterday we gave a fhort fiate ment of the melancholy accident which took place on Thurfday evening at the Weft India Docks, Blackwall,together with Inch particulars in regard to the lots as we were able to colle& We now lay before our Readers the following more detailed ' account; and it gives us great pleafure to find that the lofs, in regard to lives, has not been. by far fo great as was at firll reported. The Dock, now nearly ready to be opened, is an oblong fquare, communicating with the River by a Loci at each end, and extending acrofs the Ifle of Dogs. The bottom of the Dock, and of the Luck leading into it, is about so feet under the fuiface of the River at high water. The whole of this Dock, and the Locks, were dug and built round with mafonry and bric k work, before any communication was opened to the Ri ver ; but as it is ultimately neccfrary to cut an opening, by which (hips may arrive at the Locks, piles were driven in, and a dyke formed, like thofe dykes which keep the lea from Holland, made of wood and earth, about eight or nine feet in thick-. nets, which was built acrofs the mouth of the opening, that the workmen might follow their operations without being interrupted by the water. The (pace behind this dyke, and between it and a temporary bridge that erodes the month of the Lock, was the fcene of the unfortunate acci dent. Men were employed in that fpace to deepen it, and prepare for opening the Dock in the courfe of a very thort time ; and the ground on which they were working was about so feet undei the level of the water. The bottom is of rand, and the piles in the dyke bad not been driven to a fuf ficient depth ; fo that when the workmen got un der the level of the lower points, the tide broke in. On "fliurlday evening,at five minutes paR (even, it be'ng then high water, though only a neap tide, it was fccu that the piles of upper gate were giving way, and the alarm was given. At this time, from the heft information we could col led, there were twenty-eight men at work, cutting away the earth on the Wide; the lighters were not at woi k, it being Kish water. By the AAUP. Icing given, about ten or a dozen were enabled to climb lip on the wharf, in the centre, and rave their lives; but the notice of the accident was fo &on, that the remainder were unable to efcape. The barrier, the embankment againft the Thames, being much reduced, the ground beneath the piles gave way, and the water, which entered but gently at tirfl, in a few feconds acquired fuch force, and rulhed in with fuch a fudden violence, that the piles and the whole of the woodwork were in _ - _ fired, and many perfims millaking the foam and [pray of the water %kenning to a confidet aide height, for Imoke. • The news of the accident fprearl a moil fright ful alarm round the neighbourhood. Many hun. dreds of men are employed on the docks, at.d the friends of each feared they had fuffered. Cr , wds flocked to the place. and great 'lintels prevailed, wives and children in the !onion .inguith. It was a longtime before a boat could come ;silo the ..barn, the entrance of which was choaktd up with piles and pieces of wood ; the water inilde was Atli. co veted with wood, the wreck of the wites. Bo a ts dragged for the dead bodies, and about ten o'clock four were found ; at two o'clock yetterday union ing a fifth was titund. There live bodies were yet terday lying at a public houfe in the neighbour hood. The body of Mr. Doff's brother could not be recovered, though a reward of five guineas was held out to encourage the watermen in learching. Two boats were dragging and feeling with poles all yetterday forenoon, but without Basel,, and at three o'clock they difcontinued fearching. They found, however, a piece of Mr. Duff's coat, with his line and rule in the pocket; they f o und his hat alfo ; and they found fame mkr articles' of wear ing apparel. The roll of the water carried in a gt eat part of the hank with it, into the Coffre Dam, which, in confequence, was in many patts filled with mud, two or three feet deep. In this mud, or beneath the bank, it is fuppoced the bodies are buried. Others imagine they may have gone out with the tide, which ebbed in th.; night. Five of the fix unfortunate fulferers were mar ried, and four of them had families; but we know that the Gentlemen interelled in the concern have already given direetions to afford all the aid th a t can be given in fintiar circumilanc.s. The D. erfeer, Mr. Dim, was tent there by his brother, merely on account of hinnell being obliged that day to attend at the London Docks. He had recently arrived in town, where his wife and family are toot. expete... This unfortunate man had dined with a friend at the.Plongh, in Blackwall, and had not been gone out above two hours when the accident took place. The alarm was great beyond expreffion, and all yefterday the concourfe of the curious was numerous. The temporary Bridge of waist is to be remnv. ed, and one moving horizontal:y on a pivot to be fiabllittated in its place. A delay in opening the Docks will, of neceflity, take place, and when that happens the flood gates will he opened at low sea. ter, to that the Dock may till with the riling of the tide. A number of very fpacious warthoules are already finilhed for the reception of Welt India produce ; and we hope that this limed) accommo• dation to the Merchants will tend greatly to en creafe the Commerce of the Capital. The names of the Ilifferers are— RICUAILD Durr, . overfeer. JAMES wooer, HENRY PIDDING*I ON mica AEL has; - Unarm TUONl.lll3olcuya, WILLIAM GAMIN, Of thole who were laved, many were feverely wounded, and have been carried to the Hofpital. The Coroner, ED. WALTiIt, Eli'. attended at nine o'clock in the even:ng, in order to take the Inquilition, and after waiting a conliderable time, owing to the non-attendance of the Jury, he at length impannelled on.: ; but tyou sailing over . their names, he found they were all pea fons com poling the labouring claffes of fociety, who, in the event of his adjouraing the Inquefi, whichhe expeded to do, would he. ill able to l'pare the time for a fecond attendance. He obferved that this was a matter of very fcriousconfequence ; he was forty the Summoning Officer had taken poor men from their occupations, who were to receive ne remuneration for their trouble and lots of time, and whom he lhould feel it his duty to fine if they neglected to attend—he might have to lit eight or ten hours, and then in all probability be obliged to adjourn ; and if any of the Jurors failed in their attendance they would be Itabjed to a penal ty. He therefore could not help feeling for therm This was a bulinefs of very great magnitude, and it was an extremely incorrect thing to fatmmon Inch a Jury. The officer Ihould have fummoned I,perfons of a very different delcriprion, the mind , pal inhabitants of the para. He was really at a 100 s how to ad—a number of men had 101 l their lives, anJ he was called upon to enquire whether they had been the vidims of carelefbnefs or negli gence? It was not like the common cafe of per font who ...ere accidentally drowned—blame might be imputable fomewhere —it was a very fe -1 . nous queftiou to the Public. His intention had been, that the Jury Ihould have viewed the bodies, in order that he might have figned awarrant for their interment ; and then he had propofed to :ad. 'imam the examination of evidence till tomorrow. He fltould difcharge the prefent Jury. He Lk-fired that twenty-three, at kelt, of the molt refpedable Houleholders in the with might be fummoned ; and if they failed to attend, he Ihould certainly fine every defaulter tol. He hoped he Ihould have no occafion to aft with filch leverity. He regretted much that the bodies of the unfortunate men Ihould remain unburied ; but he was left without any alternative. The jury were accordingly difcharged. Numbers of people were alLmbled to hear the refult of the Inquell, and leaned at a lots to con jeafture the realm of fo unufnalla.circunallance at its adjournment. Five coffins were broughc to the Houle, but the deceafed fufferers could not be put in them, as the necelfary ceremony of view by the Jury had not taken place. The Inquett WAS furnmoind for this evening at eight o'clock. It is remarkable that, as we are informs', limi lar accidents happened at Liverpool and Al Hull, when the Lea ks were opt hed there. At Hull,about fourteen years ago, the wawa bairn in, in the Wile manner, and twenty-fix lives were 1011. When the City of St. Peter Omagh was building, there were more people drowned by the breaking in of the water than there are inhabitants in that capitql, even at the prefent day.
