He saw Nadir' nee day, walking up and down in the line of the hustin g s. eneerd nu:m.ly call out and make way to have a warrant exc.. te.ted. He did not hear the smallest notice given to the people ct the approach of the Cavalry, nor of any warrant being about to be served. id-. S.:Alme l o observed, that many of Mr. Hunt's questions Medley were founded on a misapprehension of Mr. Helton's tettimcny. At the close of the poll, some time was taken up in a squabble between Mr. Sheriff PARKINS and a Newspaper Reporter, whom the former threatened to hide! The affair, however, ended in smoke! Mr. BYNG, in addressing the Electors, said, he re turned them thanks for the support he received, at the same time he observed, that the majority on the poll would have been much increased if all the friends :of independence had come forward. He thought it uncommonly hard (considering the whole tenour of his life) that any man who looked to the in dependence of the County should omit giving him one vote at least. He had reason to think, that he lost some votes in consequence of a notion having been entertained that a coalition had tak:n place between him and Mr. Whitbread. He would repeat now what he said at the commencement of the Election, that he had not, directly or indirectly, interfered with the se cond vote of any Elector—(Great applause). He had called on above 4000 Freeholders, and he would before themssay distinctly, that he had not in one instance solicited more than one vete. He canvassed only for himself, leaving it to the judgment of the Electors who they would return as the colleague of their old and faithful Representative, George Byng. A coalition, he said, was justly odious in parts of the country where a combination of great families stifles the voice of the great body of the people ; but in Middlesex it was impossible that such a coalition could be formed, because in Middlesex there were no great men of overpowering influence; and thence it was, that he ever felt pride in standing as their Representative. For he could not owe his nomina tion to any Noble Lord—to any Baronet or rich 'Squire—but to the free and independent voice of the Electors in general—( Applause ).—Proud of that situation, he would ever stand up for their inde pendence, and consult their interest's alone. Having so long pursued an independent course in Parliament —educated as he was by a father that he loved, in the purest principles of freedom,• it would be impos sible for him ever again to shew his face in public, if he .deserted those principles, and became a base traitor to their rights and liberties---.(Appimise). Mr. Mew= next presented himself: He had said but little on the former days of the Election, because be was interrupted, and he was apprehensive of being misunderstood. He hoped they would hear him ; if he could not vindicate his character, he would not be worthy of the situation to which he aspired. He agreed with Mr. Byng that they were 'the best judges of who should be their Representative ; he would say they were the only judges. He was charged with' having stated that a coalition existed between Mr. Byng and Mr. Whi.bread. He would beg them to recollect the language of Mr. Byng on this head.— That Gentleman had indeed stated that he did not ' form any coalition—that he did not canvass for Mr.l Whitbread, he thought it was enough for him to ask the suffrages of the Electors for himself ; but he added, that if he bad a bias on his mind, no person who heard him could be at a loss to see in whose favour it must be. He (Mr. Byng) might as well have stated at once, that he would have given the second vote, if he could, to Mr.Whitbread. Was not , this a coalition ?—did then not agree with him that Byng had expreised himself thus ?—was not this, therefore, a coalition ?—(Laughter). He must say, with regard to Mr. Whitbread, that he acted in a manly and decided manner. He did riot complain of that Gentleman ; he certainly had as good a right to offer himself to their notice as he (Mr. Mellish), and there could be no personal dispute between them., The Honourable.Gentleman concluded by strongly recommending to his friends to continue their exer tions, and judging of the value of their support, he felt confident of complete success. Mr. BIND admitted that he had said on a former day, that if he could command two votes it would be easy for any Gentleman to guess to whom he would wish to give the second vote. There are, said the Honourable Gentleman, some men so much the ene mies of freedom, that they will not allow even the freedom of thought—(Applause.) Mr. W NITNREAD said, he felt it due to hii Hon. opponent to thank him for the handsome manner in which he spoke of him; but he could not say that he acted fairly towards M r . p lug . M r .

It al most seemed that its interest languished in propor tion as its termination approached. During the early part of the day Mr. Lamb gained a considerable number on Mr. Hobhouse ; but at four o'clock, when the poll-board was exhibited, the majority on the day's poll appealed to be but 25. The following were the gross numbersl— sir FRANCIS Busaart - - 5075 Hosnons - 4658 Ms. LAYS 4211 _ , The notification excited the most tumultuous dis play of exultation on the part of the populace. Mr. Lams—He had but a few words to say to them. This day's poll was somewhat in his favour, but so little, that it behoved all those unpolled electors who bad ' promised him their support, to flock speedily to the hustings. Whether they did or did not know their duty to him, he knew his duty to them, and was resolved that the poll should be kept open to the last moment, to give them an opportu nity of redeeming their promises. If all the electors who had pledged themselves to vote for him exerted themselves to-morrow, the ground which he had lost could very soon be recovered. He would do his duty by them, and be had no doubt they would do their duty by him. Mr. Hosnorisa said, he had to thank the gentle men before him for their continued exertions in the cause of Reform—( Applousef—and he had to make an observation on the last sentence of his Honour able Oppenent's speech. He certainly thought with him that they ti.oul4( do their duty by hiin—(A laugh) —he thought they had done their duty by him— (.4 kugh )---and he hoped they would continue to do so till the very end of the poll. He trusted that they would show by their efforts on behalf of them selves, their countrymen, and the cause of Reform, that no Candidate would in future have any chance in Westminster, except him that declared himself for thorough Parliamentary Reform I—( Applause). —He should not detain them long, because he assured them he was somewhat exhausted by the fatigue which was consequent op the election ; and, moreoyer, he did not know how to address them as the abeam of the severed individual %lons they without douht haJ erpected to see Oil the hustings, Sir F. .Burdett , a(Great applause).— He was at a loss how to speak of him. He did not know how to allude to the recent distressing event in which he was involved, and which they had heard of that morning; for, if ht said much on the sub ject, probably his language, according to the opi- • nions of the day, would be called intemperate, and he should rather have sheven his own feelings than brought any advantage to the cause—(Appladse).— It was very difficult to speak much on a case of that L' nature ; but so much he wo u ld say , t h at notwith standing that whicli had taken place—notwithstand ing the recorded opinion of lorn e of their.country -men—all the Electors of Westminster must be con scious that their late excellent and patriotic Repre sentative, and who would shortly, Le was sure, be called upon to represent Alen) again, had thought that he was doing nothing but his duty, when he had exposed Mimed to this prosecution—(Repmed plaudits)—that his single motive in this, as well as in all the other actions of his life, was the per formance of his duty—(Applause)---the only excuse which could justify any wan for a step of irnpmt ance, and a sufficient excuse for Sir Francis Bur , _ dett, if excuse he stood in need of with the people of Westminster—(Loudest applause).—He could never speak but in terms of respect of a British Jury, but he should assert, that notwithstanding its decision, their opinion of that great man would re. main unaltered (Chetra).—He (Sir Francis Burdett) loved his country: some, perhaps, who beard him would think not wisely, but he should always think wisely. Till he had read the charge of the Learned Judge at Leicester, he had never knuwn, that to ar raign or bring the Boroughmongers to task was a crime; but if it was, he trusted that there was not one of the body before him who would not readily encounter the same danger with Sir Francis Burde:t. Nothing, it seemed, was now to be said against the Boroughmongers, without being construed to be spoken against the Government. He had long known that the Government reste2 on the support of the Bo • roughmongers, but never till now that the Covrrn ment and the 80,-oughmongeri :are identified. He trusted that they would all persevere, at least he ever should, in exposing the eorriptions and abuses of the Borough Government . To the e u d of his exist ence he should raise his voice against the Government of equals—against the doMination of those who, from being servants of the Public, rendered themselves its masters, and who now lorded it in such a way, as if none were ever to dispute their usurped domi *nion—(Applauze).—lt was from an nnfeigned, ardent anxiety fiir the cause of Reform, that Sir F. Burdett had brought this evil on his head-the same anxiety he had manifested through his whole life—(Applause). The Electors of Westminster had shewn a similar feeling on this occasion-- ; they had come forwayd„ in spite of all the difficulties thrown in their way, to record their conviction that at this day there was but one cause worth any man's advocating--Ahe cause of Reform—(Applause). - In these observations he trusted he had not intentionally offended them, or done injury to the cause—(" No, no.")--lie apcilo, • gisesi for having taken up so much of their time on a subject so delicate, and on which he could with difficulty command his feelings—(Loud cheers).—, Hobhouse, throughout that part of his speech which referred to Sir Francis Burdett, evidently la boured under strong emotion.3—On looking at the state of the poll, he could not suppose that iris Ho . nourable opponent thought he had any chan ce o f success; but since the Honourable Gentleman was determined to keep the poll open to the last, as he most undoubtedly, was entitled to do, it _would..6e necessary for the Electors to continue their exertions to-morrow—(Loud cheering). Mr. HOIHOUSE then left the hustings, and the per. ple quietly dispersed.

A report got abroad that Lord WELLINGTOF had arrived with atm of protection and aid from his Government. In an instant the whole 'city was in commotion, and this was considered the eve of a civil war, ix, which foreigners were going to interfere. The square in front of the Palace was in , . st.intly • filled, and the people assumed an attitude foreboding something serious. They demanded the immediate installation of the Provisional Government, and that in its hands the Ku should take the oath to the Constitution.
