PRESTON....SATUIRVILT Thursday, Mr. Cobbett, looking towards Mr. Stanley, whose face was directed to his side of the hustings, which he appeared to be surveying through his glass— " See that fellow quizzing me—l'll quiz him too ;" and he scooped his hand, and held it up to his eye, as if to look through it at Mr. Stanley. Mr. S. turned away, saying, 44 What an execrable fellow !" Mr. Connsrr—There is Mr. Stanley for you—the handsome gentleman—the favourite of the ladies of Preston, forsooth. Do you knew what ? the only thing in the way of favour that I heard he received was, one of them spat on him. This is the favour that the nice Mr. Stanley gets from the ladies. It reminds me of the French epigram which I have seen in the translation. It runs thus—. IL* alertitg the whole of the troops that were statit.tedi. t . sites Monday, left the town.

In the same way this handsome favourite of the Ladies may repeat— " Perhaps it was right to dissemble your love, Bat why did you spit in my face?" (Great uproar). He then proceeded to complain of - the way in which the polling was conducted. What does Mr. Mayor hope to do ? How could the voters come up ? There were plenty of fortifications, GOD knows! —and Mr. Mayor wanted to make Members of Parlia ment out of scantlings and deal boards. This was his way of returning Members to. Parliament. In the evening, Captain BARRIi addressed a large concourse of persons. A stern chase, said he, was a long one—but at last the best ship won. Let her be only tight rigged, well built and manned—let the enemy be made of green wood—and, a man o' war to a jolly boat, the chaser would get a head in a knot's time. Who talked of hauling in ? who talked of taking in canvass? —not he. He quit the good ship Preston! Shiver his I timbers if he'd not stick to her while a plank was afloat. He was too old a sailor, had been out in all weathers, " see'd too much service," to lower his flag to the saucy signal of such fresh water mariners as he saw alongside of him.—This speech was received with great applause. Captain COLQUITT next addressed the crowd —He rejoiced to see his friends, like a ball of snow, get bigger as they went on. Mr. Cobbett said, England would be beat by the Americans at sea. No, no ; let two of the young Cobbetts get into Captain Barries ship—let two more come into his—and two Cobbetts were enough anywhere, GOD knows—they would soon find that the 4. Dragon" of Captain Barrie was not a flying one, her tail on fire with stern chasers. But Mr. Cobbett's medals made him stare—what, was not this bribery ? l'o be sure they wete not worth much—about five pence or so—threepence for the pewter, and twopence for the ribbon—this was the outside. But Cobbett to day has been re3tored to good humour, and talked of, the manufacture of Members of Parliament into scant lings and deal boards. Why let Captain Barrie be returned, and he would be found of true heart of oak. ,The Canada Commissiouer ! that was Mr. Cobbett's wick-name fit the gallant Captain—why not christen Cubbett himself the Radical Register•maker of Pleet-street r A man was no prophet in his own country—a man was never thought much of in his town—but, let him go abroad, do glorious deeds, and his townsmen will receive him, as they did Captain Barrie, heartily and kindly. Captain Comer', in allusion to Mr. Cobbett's assertion that a Lady spat In Mr. &anley's face, came forward on the hustings and challenged the proof of this. Yesterday the polling became more quick and quiet ; and Cobbett Jest on the day's poll 52. At the rising of the Court, Cobbett came down and accused Mr. Horrocks, an extensive manufacturer, son of the late Member, of subornation of perjury, in com pelling his workmen to vote for Capt. Barrie, after they had premised their support to Mr. Wood. Mr. Horrocks indignantly contradicted the assertion. Cobbett repeated the charge, and proceeded to harangue about corruption and bribery, the Pope and the devil. Gentlemen, I hate 'the Pape, but then I hate the devil worse. Gentlemen, bribery is the devil—you have been called on to abjure the Pope to-day, but I'll call on you to abjure the devil Corruption, to-morrow. Here his oration was drowned Hissing and hooting—" Go to Coventry"—" No trine grubbing"- 4, Pay Burdett his money.' Cublsett turned on his opponents in a fury, threatened them with his fist, roared at them with all his might, and pointed them out to the mob. He then commenced a string of imprecations on the man whom he should discover to have taken a bribe for his vote. " LI expose him— I'll drag him before the public-111 hold him up to the scorn of men—l'll make his name notorious from one side of the kingdom to the other—from John o Groat's to the Devil s I'll nail his name to the gallows tree I'll gibbet him all his life I'll make him detested and loathed through the land:' the hooting commenced again. Cobbett completed his scale of curses in the midst of the most tumultuous up roar of hooting and huazaing. At last, enraged by the op. position, he pointed to Capt. Barrie's friends, and waved his hand to the mob, apparently signifying his wish that they should attack that part of the hustings where his enemies stood. The multitude rushed towards it with a savage shout, and Capt. Barrie and his friends saved themselvei by a precipitate flight. Cobbett pa raded the town in the evening, standing in an open car riage, and bowing to the acclamations of the mob. He afterwards gave them 5 speech. The Deke de Monte Belle, a Peer of France, (son of Lariats, sae of Iltioaaparte's Marshals), with two other French Gentlemen, Count Durergier and M. Meyer, stopped here, on their way to see the Westmoreland Election. The Mayor, N. Grimshaw, Esq. re ceived them on the hustings with the most polite attentions, and entertained them in the evening at dinner. 'llssugh they declared themselves Liberals, they expressed their disapproval of the almost unlimited admission of the multitude to the right of polling in Pres tos. and appeared shocked at the raggedness and rusanism of Cob bett's voters. When one of Cohbett's friends wished to tura his attention to the Duke, " Pooh," said the man of the gridiron, " not look at him; what is he but son of one of Huonaparte's General? what is he to tae? not half so great a man as myself; besides, (sig. edikantly) that. would he no use in boohooing him, you know he has no vote In biota." i t:.

The numbers at the close of the poll wets— John Wilk., On. • 619 Bethel Walisind 490 • .....Ogilvy • 903 The two first-named Gentlemen were chaired at seven o'clock on Wednesday evening. Mr. Wilk:, having the greatest number of votes, took the lead. Oa Wednesday evening, Mr. Wilks was to have attended the different benefit and other clubs in the town, a s . cording to the usual custom. The club assembled: in anxious expectation they waited till ten o'clock. Mr. Walrend visited them; but Mr. Wilks sent word that he was so much fatigued he could not attend till Christmas. Some of the persons employed complain that Mr. Wilk: is not sufficiently liberal. It is but justice to Mr. Wilks to say, that the crew by which he was surrounded, and the hands in which he was in, were such that no man, however rich or amiable, could have satisfied them. Mr. Walrond is an elegant, graceful, inexperienced young man. It is publicly said,and admitted by his friends, that a sheriff's officer arrived just after the election with one of Mr. Walrond's checks for 1,0001. and an authority to make a caption. The Town Clerk sheaved him the return made by the Mayor, and the officer could only regret he was not earlier. It is stated that this check was given when the Gentleman one night was in. his tops, in a certain hot place in Sr. James's-street, and that his bankers had orders the next morning not to pay it. Our unsuccessful Candidate, Mr. Ogilvy, lef: the town on Thursday evening t he was •attended by a large and most respectable cavalcade. He made an address to the persons who attended him, and (with their full concurrence) he said he would petition against the return of Mr. Walrond. His Committee had split among themselves, and we are likely to hate some secrets worth knowing. Mr. Obadiah Broadhrim, a friend of Mr. Ogilvy's, was not satisfied with the dis posal of SOU for which a check was given by Mr.Ogilr y to Dr. Syntax. The usual item—" To money expended in eating, drinking, and paying the expenses of the freemen to promote Mr. Ogilvy's , interest, 9001." was not deemed satisfactory. The ing of the Saddlers supported Mr. Broadbrines motion for further inquiry, and the doctor, being hard pressed, admitted, that having taken too much wine on Sunday evening, he had, unfortunately swallowed 1501. Some physic was recommended, which the doctor himself prepared-and took; and it had the immediate effect of making him disgorge 801. The other money was beyond the reach of medicine. From the ppwerful effect of medicine, the doctor is still in a very delicate state of health. OXFORDSHIRE ELECTION.
