That Ca:llsk being a free and independent can never submit to a monopoly in its Representation, or t. a compromise of its dearest rights and privileges. 3d. That, in order to prevent our City from being reduced to the condition of a Close l3orough, and to stem the torrent of a dangerous and overgrowing power, resulting from the local in- Suenew of the Earl of Lonsdale and the Corporation of the City of Carlisle, we are determined to support only such men as, by their independent conduct and upright principles, can and wilt exert themselves :o secure our constitutionailibertia, fearless of every species of Aristocratic influence. sd. 'flat we see, with considerable astonishment and sur prise, an Advertisement issued by Sir PHILIP Musonsve, Dart. dechring 11-;.nvelf a Candidate for our Suffrages, and professing to be " an Independent Man, and attached to no Party ;" when the uniform conduct of that Gentleman has been a servile ad herence to the lions! of Lowretn, and in direct violation of the Principles of Independence.—Men are better judged of by their Actions than their Professions. 4th. That the Centleman who appears most eligible to our Citice, ar.d whose general Qualifications arc at present most congenial with our Patriotic Views, is WILLIAM JA3IILS, Esquire, of Barrock Lodge, whom we solemnly pledge ourselves to support with our most vigorous Exertions and unceasing Energies. sth. That the Friends of Rational Liberty and genuine British Trz;:doin are so numerous and manifestly so staunch and cor dial, as to leave not the smallest doubt of the utter defeat of our aivcreaties, and the return of the man of our choice. 6th. That a Committee be now formed of the following Gen ilmen, to carry into effect the above Resolutions, viz. William Dobinaou I James Monkhouse Thomas Halton t William.

Mr. IL JACI:S:)N opposed the grant, and moved an Amendment, which, after a cnnsiderable debite, was negatived, when the on motion was put and carried in the affirmative. The CHAIRMAN then submitted to the considera tion of the Court of Proprietors, an unanimous Pe.. solution of the Court of Directors, of the 22d of De cember last, recommending the Court of Proprietors to authorize the Directors to cffcr to his Majesty to raise and maintain, at the expense of the Company, a Corps of Volunteer Infantry from an:ongst the men in the employ of the Company ; and if such offer should be accepted, to defray the expense out of the funds of the Company.

The numbers at the close of the poll this day were, Sir FRANCIS BUIDETT - - - - 443$ Mr. Hosmotaz - cog Mr. LAMB - - - - 3587 Mr. LANIB proceeded to address the crowd...-. They would naturally anticipate that he was not so much satisfied with the state of the poll that day as on the preceding. He steadfastly relied, however, on the promises of his friends, to come to his assistance whenever lie should call upon them ; and all he now intended to say was, to request they would not put it off any longer, but come up to poll as speedily as possible. Mr. HOBROUSE.—In the words of Mr. Lamb, he believed the poll that day would speak a little for him. Those who might have felt any fears or doubts about the result of the contest, would now see that it was next to a moral impossibility that the Elec. tors of Westminster, after having come forward so gloriously at the beginning, should fall off towards the end. He appealed to them if it was not "as no torious as the sun ar noon-day," that undue influence had been used by his antagonist in this contest.— His voters were actually dragged to the poll. But he would tell Mr. Lamb, that even if he had 200 of a majority to-morrow, it would be of no avail ; but it was his opinion that he would have none.— He had told them yesterday of some of the various shapes Mr. Lamb assumed in the course of his can vass. Ile was not then aware, however, that among others, he intended to come into Parliament as a Member for the Attornies. He 1::o.n read a circular letter, signed " An Attorney," calling upon all the Gentlemen of that descriptica to maim a" simulta. neous canvass" for Mr, Lamb, as the professica wanted some " really useful Member, whose doors would be always open to the attornies." He could tell them a good reason for the doors of Mr. Lamb being always open those Gentlemen, for he was a Barrister I—(A laugh)—but he hoped the Electors of Westminster would find in this one more reason why their doors should be closed against his oppo nent, To-morrow, therefore, they were to expect to be over-crowded at the hustings by a flight of attor nies !—(Laughter). He had a satisfaction in assuring them that neither the Attornie., the Tories, wit th e Whigs, would be able to cope with them on the pre sent occasion. He concluded by conjuring them rot I to relax in their exertions, but to stand firm st their posts, and not believe the v i ctory was won until they saw the popular Candidates at the bead of the poll, at the final close of the contest—(Great applausel, The pi esent contest for Westminster is become a sporting one; and large sums are depending, not 1 only upon the issue, but. also upon each day's Poll: Ai ;1
