Sir FRANCIS BURDETT. Gentlemen, it was with extreme fatisfaftion that I have ever witneffed the fuperior rank xi hich your Lwow ite Candidate was held upon the Poll, and therefore I mutt regret that Mr. Juflice Mainwaring llsould have been able this or any other day to advance above hint. I fineerely agree in the witnes of your fi iend, Mr. Byng, that you fhould uniformly continue to keep him at the head of the Poll. With refpeft to my felf, I feel the date of the Poll this day is not lets favourable to me than it was yeflerday. On this occafion, Countrymen, the Collegiate Church of Wedminfter has been our mod formidable op ponent, for riot only the Prebends and Matters, but the Clerks, Cooks, and Sextons have in right of ti:zir oGces given their votes againd us, and the Bell-i ;tigers alfo have been brought up to ring the lad knell of the ftrength of our adverfary— (lead applaufi). f will repeat to you what I have I already often laid, that a feat in the Houle of commons is not any objeft of ambition to me, fur tinder the prefent date of reprefentation, I am of opinion with one of the wired and bed men this country has ever fern, that it is impoilible for any man, whatever his talents or difpofition may be, to elle& any thing materially advantageous to the country ; my only objeft in (landing forward was to afford you an opportunity of declaring your fon timents with regard to the conduit of Mr. Jollier Mainwaring, who has thought proper, in addition to his other merits, to attribute trealonons purpo• fes to all that who have honoured me with their fupport. Having mentioned that I have no other view than that of giving occafion to the country to demondrate the vigour and extent of its public fpirit, and full fcope to the Elettors of Middlefex, particularly to Ain their independence againil a corrupt and profligate fydem of adminillration.— I hope it is unneceffery for me to requeft your de cilive co-operation, that you ss ill ufe your utmoft exertions, for the fake of your own character, to repel the unworthy infinuation of Mr. Mainwaring. I beg you to confider that your own intend is much more deeply involved in this draggle, than mine poltbly can be. Recolleft that there are above ten thouland Freeholders in this County, lix thonfand of whom have fcarcely yet polled, these file be quick and alive, there is yet time enough to colic& the Independent Freeholders, and to en fore the triumph of our caufe. Inc the enurfe of the day the Common Serjeant, Mr. Sylveller, attempted to interrogate a Free holder, who, after having voted for Sir Francis Borden, had appeared on the Hollings, as to his title to vote ; the Connie' of Sir Francis having heard of this irregularity, immediately appealed to the Sheriff, and Mr. Sylvefter defended himlelf by laying, that as the quedlons he put were illegal, the voter was not bound to answer them. _ _ " Then," faid Mr. Fergullon, " you foppore it inflifiable to put improper queflions, it the man to whom yoo addrefs them mould happen to he anaware of their impropriety ; if mho wife, your rooduel may be culpable, without ICI ving the caufe of your client ?" Mr. Roatosov—The quelli-ai is, whtthcr the I.carned Serjeant is fo anxious to ferve his client, as to exhibit his officious zeal for the caufe of Go vernment, and to perfnade Mr. Mainwaring of his utility. Perhaps fimilar motives may have afloat ed many of the agents on the fame fide, who have In often interrupted the prngrefs of the Poll, by flarting °Nations, every one of which, upon ap. plication to the Sheriff, proved to be groundlefs. With rtfped to Mr. Sylveder, he has in many in fiances afted very improperly: he yeilerd.ty took a frethohler from the Hollings, who came up with Sir Francis Burdett's cockade in his hat, aad de claring his intention to vote for him. As that free. bolder has not fence been heard of, we have good reafon to think that Mr. Common Serjeant con ttivtd to fend him away. Mr. Sheriff' Rav nt a. 4, As no complaint was made to me in due time of the alledgcd conduet of of it ; but I mutt fay, that his interference on tllis occafion was extremely undue and improper."— This declaration terminated the difpute ; but fume time afterwards Mr.Sylveller entered the Sheriff's box, and :Liked how he (hould attempt to fpeak to him in fetch terms i The Sheriff ordered him infiantly to withdraw, and not to enter the box any mare. Tile orator retired, and was down for the remainder of the day. The Candidates then went away from the Huf tings in the fame order as on former days ; and al though the Itreet of Brentiord was one continued puddle, the mob waded through it in drawing Sir F. Burdett's coach. Yellerday as a coach with perfons carrying Mr. MAIN W AP.INC'S ribbons, was paffing through one of the turnpikes between Kcnlington and Hammer finith, they were hooted and hilted by a mob which flood at the gate. Two or three perfons, not content with this indecency, threw dirt at the coach ; they were immediately taken into culloily by the patrole, and fent off to town. The daughter of a Publican was detefted in breaking the coach windows of Mr. MAINWIIR INC,, as he was paffing through Kentington, on Wed nefday evening. She was on the top of her father's houfe, and threw a piece of brick and fome mor tar, and in endeavouring to avoid detection, the jumped out of a window upon another building; . the was puifued, and taken concealed behind fome chimnies. On being taken into cullody, the con filed having thrown the thine; and it appeared the had afted wholly from childilh motives of join ing,in the general clamour. She is about thirteen 1 years of age, and the daughter of a refpeetable houfekeeper. The Magillrate before whom this juvenile offender was taken, thought proper to hold her to bail for her future good behaviour. CITY OF DURHAM ELECTION.—..TIIefday lila being the day appointed fur the elation of two - Members to reprefent this City in Parliament, the Candidates who appeared at the Hultings,were Mr. LAM BTON, plopoled by Mr. BAINBRIDGE, and feconded by Mr. Alderman CHI PC H ASE ; Mr. TAYLOR propofed by Mr. Alderman SHIELDS, and feconded by Mr. Alderman STAR FORTH ; and Mr. WHARTON propofed by Mr. Alderman Porrs, and feconded by Mr. RALPH HARRISON. Each of the candidates addreffed the electors ill a fpeech fuited to the occafion, and liatirig his claims to their fop port. When they concluded, fume altercation took place as to the manner of polling ; but it was at length agreed that each Mcmber fhould poll one friend in turn, and at the conclufion of the poll, the numbers were— Mr. Lanham 34 I Mr. Taylor 3.1 I Mr. Wharton a According to agreement, the Members had each an equal number of friends who voted ; but as Mr. Tay Loa's friends voted for Mr. Last wrow, and Mr. La M BTOII'S for Mr. Text.ct, it produced the above difproportion. After the Poll had commenced. the Market place was one virile fcene of confufion and difor der ; and nntwithflAnding the number of conftables fworn in, they were inadequate to the talk of keep ing the peace. About three o'clock, a freeman,who had drank freely, and had promifed all parties, was led by Sir H.V.TaI4 r s sr towards the Hall to poll. Mr.Vr H arom's party claimed him as their vote, and proceeded to take him away by force, when the friends of sir li.v.T,mPasT came to his affiflance, and a general engagement took place. The man was almaat torn to pieces by biz friends, who ' walled to fecure him, and at length fell fenfelefs on the ground. Still was he held by both parties, while numbers were fighting round him. Scarce a Gentleman of the county but was involved in the fcene, and it was owing to their intrepid con. dud in keeping off the mob, that they at length fecund the man. It is much in favour of the peace of the city, that there are no open houfes. Every diftant Elector is billeted, and has plenty for himfelf, but cannot, as ufed to be the cafe, take with him a number of friends. NORFOLK.—About twelve o'clock on Tuefday night, Mr. WOW Houss being t 17 behind Sir JA COB ttsr LEI-, on the Poll for the County of Nor folk, he reigned, the votes in his favour being wholly erhanded. WAVODIEHOUSE demands a fcrutiny, and it has been granted. The King's Head Inn, in the Market place, was attacked by the mob, but nothing ferrous took place; only a few windows were broken by (tones &c. This is the houfe where Mr. WOMIOUSI'S Committee fat. K t ' , lr.—The Poll for this County at its dote on Wednefday, having left Sir EDWARD KNATCH. IItTLL 142 behind Sir WILLIAM GEARY, and Mr. HoNYWOOD'S fecund votes being given to the lat ter Baronet, no hope was left to Sir EDWARD, who determini.d 'on Wednefday afternoon to give up the ufelefs conflift, and we know that letters were dif patched to announce his intention to his friends, to i rave the trouble of their coming to the poll yeller dAy. It was not known to his opponents however in time to prevent their friends from going to the poll. Yetlerday morning, however, it was pub licly announced, and the High Sheriff declared Mr. Hot: v wool) and Sir WILLIAM GEARY duly eletled amidlt the loud and reiterated aciclamations rof the people. There was a firong eonteft for the Borough of Eaft Retford. Colonel CRAUFURD and Mr. Jac- Taal. are eleEled. The latter Gentleman, we hear, is interefled in a confiderable Weft India Houle.

The Captain Rates, that the King had ;filled an ediB, by which free ingrefs into all the ports of Cochin China had been granted to all' Englifh vefTels, with exemption from port charges, and duties of every defcription. This exclufive mark of favour to Englifh Tads is Paid to have been principally occafioned by the favourable im preffion of the national charaaer, communicated by fome emigrant French Officers and banifhed Priefts, who had entered into the fervice, and re ceived proteaion of the Government of Cochin China. The rebellion which had long exited in that country continued to oppofe fome refinance to the regular authority, but decided advantages had lately been obtained by the latter, which pro mifed to bring the conteft to a fpeedy termination. We are concerned to Rate the lots of the Hon. Eaft India Company's armed tranfport, the REAL FIDILLISSMO, Captain LIPPIATT, in her'paffiage to Mocha, with his Majefty's fioth regiment, from Goa.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, JULY as. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. HAND V. !LISTEN. Mr. Serjeant Cocas,. limed, that his client was a young Lady who fought rediefs for one of the moil cruel injuries that could be offered to her fex. She 'elided at Harbro' with her brother, a refpe&- able tradefman in that town. The Defendant was put apprentice to Mr. Hand, and in the courfe of fome years a mutual affeetion fprung up between him and Mifs Hand. An ecclaircifemeni at Jail took place, and the lovers vowed eternal conftancy.— The term of the Defendant's apprenticethip was now nearly expired, and he refolved to try his for tune in London. After a tender parting he ac cordingly fet out. Mill Hand was much depreffed, and her fears of the dill pation of the metropolis proved to have been prophetic. For fome time, however, he remained true to his promifes. He wrote her affeeionate letters, and having teen her r once in town, he tellified all the fondnefs for her which had formerly marked his pallion when at its height. But when he ought to have led her to the altar he forgot his plighted troth, and drew hack from his facred engagement. She was thus difap pointed in her views of future happinefs, and held up to the ridicule of all her acquaintance. The learncdSerjeant added many other particulars,and defcribed in the moil glowing terms the ill ufage which Mifs Hand had received. The evidence confined chiefly of the letters'Which the Defendant had wrote from London to his rnif trefs at Ha: bill'. There occafioned infinite merri ment. In the firft place they difclofed the fait that Mr. Killen was , a journeyman tallow chandler. In painting the ardour of his attachment he likewife borrowed many terms from his art. Although it appeared that he was not always in a inching mood, he talks of his foul being difolved, of being ,tpped in wretchednefs ; of his heart being call in a delicate mould, of theflore of happinefs which lie conceived was awaiting him ; of his love turning clear; of his liver being confumed like the with of a candle; of his fears left her paflion died away like the _fame in the locket of a Calftkila, &c. &c. There was one palfitge which afforded peculiar amufement, as it reminded every one of the (tile of a noble Marquis who, after painting the ardour of his paffion, (lops fuddenly Ilion to defcant upon the Price of wheat in Reading market. " My love, Car Mr. Killen), my angel, my Hand, when !hall we be j , ined .u. gether, and nnx like wax and fpermacdi ? By the ye I have bad news far your brother. 'fallow is as high as ever, and at piefent there is a profved f its riling higher hill. As Inch he cannot do better than buy any that comes in his way." The firft letters of the feries, dated from Ifling ton, were in the molt affeCtionate and nr:qiiig terms, containing many obil.rvations on tilt: iiiiioa of hearts, and the rcquilites for donictiie happi nefs, exactly limilar to thole of R0'111 . 4:411, th,.ugh expreffed in language not quite fo refilled, which (hews that a tallow-chandler may be a pliihtlipher, and a man of feeling. Prudence did not feem to be quite loft in love, for the delzndant, being then but a journeyman chandler, talked of buying the ' bufinefs of a Mr. Weilfen, in the fame line ; Mr. WeilF.n agreed to let him have the bufinefs for I got. ; but Mrs. Weiffen wilhed to ctirtintte in hu. tines a year longer, and the bargain went ()E— -lle late unhappy war too, which has been a caufe of afflietion to to many others, contributed to the difappointment of Mifs Hand, for one of the let ters mentions that the defendant's intention of purchafing a fluip and bufinefs, prep.tr..tory to his union with this then partner of his love, was re tarded by the influence of the czar, in the clepref lion cf bank flock, in which part of his ploperiy was veiled. In 1799 the defendant wrote to Mils Hand, that IC had direEtcd his mother to call on her mother to tittle the conditions of the intended unt.m. His father, he fail, would have nothing to do in :he affair ; awl if his mother thotild nutae ally Jai ctilty with tefpeet to the lady's fortune, tie de clans, with the dilinteteilednefs of a true he it led °over, that he will have Mifs 11 oul, whatever her fortune may be. It wa♦ not !fated whether this interview between Goody Hand and Goody ten had taken place; hut thortly after the period that was fixed for it, a conliderable change was obferved in the correfpondencc. The defendant's letters were fent much lefs frequently ; and, in flead of beginning, as in the earlier years of his love, " My dear Mifs Hand," " My dear Mary," and " My dear love," they began with the rude, hat fh, and fin mal expreffion " Mils Hand." The &II letter of this form contained fome rebukes to the lady, for having (hewn former letters, denials nfhaving received letters faid to have been fent by her, and fome confolations relative to her future date, (he having reprefented all her profpeels in life as being deftroyed by the defendant. Some time before this letter was written, the plaintiff having fufpicions of the defendant's conflancy, had come I.i> to town to have conic explanation ; the remai►led for a week at her brother's houfe, a tat low.chandler, in Brick-lane, Where the defendant faw her frequently, and behaved very civilly to her. Immediately on her return to the country after this excurfion, the had a letter, in which the intended union was again ferioufly mentioned, the former profellions of love were renewed, and the was def►red to inform her brother, Mr. Hand, of Hat borough, that tallow war not likely to gel cheaper. It was under the imprellion of this kind letter that Mils Hand was Blocked with two fucceffive letters of the nature recently delcribed, and thortly after the had the mortifying intelligence, that the de fendant had received the hand of another lady in marriage. The handwriting was proved by Mary Hand, wife of Hand, of 13rick-lane, chandler, the brother to the plain t iff, with whom the defendant finifhed his apprenticefhip. This withers Paid Mifs Hand was about the age of 35 years, and the de fendant nearly the fame age. On being more dole!) , queftioned by the defendant's Counfel, the would not undertake to (wear pofitively that the defendant was above twenty-five. The man iage of the defendant with a Lady of the name of Betty Porter, in the church of St. Andrew's, Holborn, on the sth of Antal, 18ot, was proved frunt the regifter of that parish. The good conduct and charaler of Mifs Hand were proved by one of her neighbours. Thomas Mun, a mealman, from Pentonville, (wore, the Defendant told him in converhition, that he had paid betweenthree and four hundred pounds for the bufinefs and flock in trade, at the place where he lives in Hyde•ftreet, Bloomfbitry, that he could command 2001. more, and that he was to get 5001: by his wife. No evidence was called on the defence. Mr. Serjeant Barr, the Defendant's Counfel, argued, that as the witnefs, Mary Hand, of Brick lane, would not fwear politively that the Defen dant was now above the age of twenty-five, there was reafon to fuppofe him under age %%hen this affair commenced ; and alfo reafon to belilv.e that Mifs Hand, who was confeffedly long fince arrived at the years of difcretion, had inveigled the younz man into the hofinefs before he was able to judge for himfelf, and contrary to the withes of his pa rents, as was evinced by what was laid in one of the letters, that his father would have nothing to do in the affair, and that his mother would pro bably be diffatisfied with the want of fortune."— The Learned Serjeant further obferved on the im propriety, in cafe the Jury was fatisfied of the fads, of giving the property of a woman, innocently united with this man, to repair an injury of which the was entirely unconfcions. Lord ALVANLEY commented on the obferva tions of the defendant's Connie!, to which he at tached very little credit, as no evidence was called to fupport them, and fuch evidence, if it at all ex iffed, mull be in the plaintiff's power. His Lord thip obferved to the Jury, that though cafes of this kind were often very ferious, yet that the prefent ccu!d fcai cely be confolered of fuch a complexion. From tit: rup•nre that took place, Mifs Hand could fcar.ely be lc; pofed to h.Lve been deprived c f much happinefs. Where the age of the parties was to unequal, and where there had been no con fent of parents, little could be expeett," cord and mifery. However, the Lady with a dilappointment, and was c:rtainl to Come compenfation. He would nA point out how large it fhould be.
