MIDDLE_ srx ELECTION. ELEVENTH DAY. The scene at Brentford to-day was exceedingly t7ull, and the polling very spiritiiss. . Sir WittiAel ih arts attended early at the ht stings, and voted for Mest [SU. Before the nuinbers sere :tent - mixed, Mr. PtsrEtt Morons, the Member for Coventry, Atairied permission of the Sheriff to address the )fceting, and presented himself accordingly. He in order to save time, he wished to take that (eh orthnity to say a few words. He could not help cellinh to the recollection of his brother Freeholders, that the ih oudest day ia his life was that upon which, at a former pet iod, he put into nomination that dis rineuished Patriot, Sir Francis Ilui:dett, whom they had lately heard upon these hustitigs—(Appleese). 1: was for theM to say, whether the professions-made the Ihmourahie Baroaet, at the time he offered himself to them as a Candidate, had been vesi!ied—, s Pee •" must had heard Sir Francis Ihrrhle:t say that he taus not an ussried a• l a y-/r)—aa,l therefore he seas to be ‘,elievesi when he shrze..l, that hofelt a lively ihterest in the welfare. hi their County, though he had nht now any politi cal connection with it. There could be no doubt but his soul felt an ar.leht seal in favour of that., cause which called into public life an hereslitaey Pa tsiet like himself. He (:\is. Moore) was unwilling to' ; w o e to his thrn mcsits; but it would afFord some, h shhf that he V..lS•not ttn:'•o of bring among the sepve ter s of the youeg Candidate, to tell them that' he had been lately returhed to Parliament, for the sixth time, and that hy the free voice of his Consti- • tuents—(elnilause).—They had heard the profes sions 0: the !hung Patriot, and they were to see how his lature :.ctihns would correspond with them. Of chi-, howeeser, might be certain, that the son el such a father would toot make any professions which he did hot intend fully and faitinhily to realize— ( Greht applause).—He might venture to give the same promise with regard to him that he had given for Sir Fraeeis Bi:rde:t, whose public conduct he had watzhed 11l aiong, art z esp.% tii)g whose merits he ;eel never said a single %void which he could wish to retract. Yost the question for them to decide was, s. hether Mr. lhing, Mr. Whitbtead, or Mr. Mel. should Representative? but whether this 7,:etrcpolitai: County should be represented at all, or not? It via, quite certain that it had not been repre seeted far the lass fourteen years, and it was now high cline to 1 escue it from the state of debased thra:dnm in which it was held--(Cheers).—ln fact, it :':as is a sehrse state than if it had not been at all representt-2—( na are rizh ).—He had attentively cl,served the conduct of tlrk Byng, and compared it , vith that of his late colleague. He saw in Mr.l ng reincihles of high honour, and no man had 'ostler fulfilled his promises to his Constituents— (2:'e :e. , :tainij he has).—The only motive by which s'lr.l3yhg was influenced, was the interest of the , Peohle, while he never once thought of his cwn— (Brrvr,/.—He therefore had just claims on the sup port of the People, and he experienced it as a tribute d.:e ;h his public integrity—( elpp/ause).—As to the late Mr. Whitbread, he was a man who far exceeded chl panegyric—a Man who stood forth pre-eminent in virtue. Bet though he was gone front the face of, the earth, et his spit it still remained, and it would det:h:lesi be revived in his son—(Loud cheers).— wou:d have afforded him (Mr. Moore) the highest satisfaction to have put the young Candidate in no r mination, when he came forth itt native innocence, aa] untainted by corruption, to avow himself the zealous friend of his country's freedom ; but it so happened, that he wanted no other assistance than t!: ,t which was in their power to give him—their ee nai.iassed suffrages—(Apidause).—lly thi. -assistance, he would, at the end of this contest, be crovesed with success, and they would have reason rejoice. Against Mr. Mellish, personally, he ceeld have no possible objection ; on the contrary, lac laid a vet y great esteem for him as a private cha racter. But he (Mr. Moore) could not sacrifice his ph,lic duty and their interest to his private regards. Ile therefore would speak his mind ho. - ess!ly and :harlessly. V.'henever he drew his brew, he shot his arrow as far as he could—(Bray o !)—Mr. had told them thet he hef served them thithfully f focrtcen years ; and Mr. Lyng bad toll them that he served them faithfully for a much longer time,' thirty years ; now as they always pulled in contrary, erections—if Mr. Byng was right, how was it pos. sible for Mr. Mellish to be so likewise?—(si larjh). hie Lad seen him act invariably with that class of, nen who only Nifaited for the signal of the Minister to wee for any measure he should propose—(Braro.') :haring the time that he (Mr. :Whore) was in Parlia mesa, he had witnessed numerous instances of coy-' -: and there was no one qtrestien in favour of . !excuse places and pensions that Mr. Mellish did :at support. The motive of his speaking to-day be hre the numbers were made out, was, that he wished r. Mellish should hear what he had to say ; for :'P knew, had he waited to deliver his sentiments till :.:ter the Candidates had spoken, M. Mellish would not remain to listen to him, as at that :sour the Blues • !r. Mellish's friends) invariably betool: themselves t 77 di ht—(A lailh).—With respect t o t h e fid e li t y o f Mellish to his Constituents, it consisted only in their best and dealt-it interests—(Br.r.o ! say you to that Mellish ?).—lt was impossible 'Lit Mr. Mellish must now see that the sense the County was against him ; he must see that the 1'.2.)p1e thought he was no longer in a conditio n to he entrusted- with the defence of their rii:,•hts, and if he di ,I not see it himself, his friends ought to advise him to retire from a hopeless contest, since the public voize %vas so generally raised against hitr.--(Brayo!)

Mellish. It was now quite e - vident, that the cry v t . ccalitiou had been un: i u,tty rai'ed, arid produced . . but little effect. His late colleague, by his new de chtiation of being a friend fo civil and religious li berty, had completely lost himself; For the real friends of freedom were naturally suspicions cf his sincerity, and his old friehds would not cone forward support a man, who, after -all the exertions they had made for him, had announced himself as haying gone over to the People--(A laugh).—He had now only to thank them again for all they had done fOr him, relying implicitly on their further exertions. Mr. WHITBREAD now presented himself, and was • received with the usual acclamations. He thought, that what he had said yesterday would prove to his opponent a fact quite apparent to every other person I but to himself, namely, that the Freeholders he talked of would not be forthcoming. His opponent had set out, like many other voyagers, on a cruize of discovery, and found only clouds when he expected to light upon solid ground—(A laugh).—lt was to be hoped, however, that his reckoning was by this time set right, and that he saw there were no hopes what evet of discovering those numerous Freeholders he had anticipated.- Indeed, it must appear certain to his warmest friends, that his case was beyond all remedy, when they were anxious to seize the last op portunity that was left them to give their solitary votes against the rights and liberties Of the People.— . It was with this view that an Honourable 13aronet had come yesterday to the poll, and voted fur Mr. Mel lish—(C'keers).—ln his address of this day, :trr. Mel lish talked of the degradation to which the County would be reduced, if they did not return himself.— This reminded him of the old Spanish proverb, " De fend me from my friends, and I!l defend tn , ,selfjiont ml enemies." Thus might the Freeholders s ty, " dc fend us from Mr. Mellish, and we'll defend carselve; against our enemies"—(Laughter end eheers).—He WAS not at all surprised that Mr. Mellish was unwil ling to leave them; the feeling was natural, and he should participate in it himself with many a pang, but it should be under other and different circum stances. If he (Mr. Whitbread) were to be wedded to them, he hoped, that should the bond be broken, it would not be thought any fault on his part— (Lo:fd applause).—His opponent talked of keeping the poll open to the last—(More shame for hin2)—tpit he must be convinced it was useless. It had also been observed by Mr. Mellish, that his friends did not exert themselves, and evinced no zeal in his cause. This, however, was an accusation whith he • (Mr. Whitbread) had not to bling against his friends, of whom he could tell quite a different story, they being indefatigable for him. He now only wished that a s! ill greater body of Freelylders would avail them selves of this opportunity to r ecord their n a n : e s as I friends to the cause which their brethren had espoused--the glorious cause of independence. Mr. MEontsu, after having experienced the - usual interruption at the commencement, proceeded to ob serve, that the pill of the coalition was become more and more nauseous to his late colleague, as was ma nifest from his so often adverting to it. He would not have Mr. Byng imagine that the' sense of the County was with him, because an Honourable Baro net had recently given him his support. It was a fact, ,that he (Mr. Mellish) got 1700 plumpers, in conse quence of the coalition between Mr. Byng and Mr. Whitbread. He was bound to believe Mr. Byng when he asserted, that he had not entered into this coali tion, yet, that it was so would appear from the state ment of the poll-books. He did not deny that any man had a right to act as he might think fit in such an affair ; but then, let it be done openly and man fully. It had been recommended to him, by' Mr. Whitbread, to rethe from the contest, but he had a character to support, and he should not abandon the Freeholders till they had first abandoned him— ( Then it's all aver w-ith you, you are done).—lt was not his cause, it was their own ; he had only their inte rest at heart—(Largker, and loud interruption, with cries of " The Duke of ). or k's interest").—He then ad verted again to the coalition, which he termed an ' unprincipled one, and dwelt on the fears which his friends had cf coming to the poll, least they might be insulted and abused, though he was *ready to give all due praise to the meritorious conduct of Mr. Sheriff Bothwell, in preserving good order, so far as he could. • 0 Mr.WiIiTTIREAD again stood forward, and repelled, with much warmth, the accusation with regard to an unprincipled coalition between himself and Mr. Byng. lie now called upon Mr. Mellish to come forward and prove what he said to be true, if he, could do so. lie would fi nd that he (Mr. Whitbread) was neither wanting in spirit nor principle—(Loud cl , ecrs).—And not only did he himself call upon Mr. Mellish to come forward and prole his charge before he quitted the hustings, but he desired the Meeting would call upon him likewise—(Bravo !). M. BYNG entered into an explanation to the same effect, and after denying again that he had entered into any coalition with Mr. Whitbread, contended, that had he done so, such a junction of interests being far the national good, could not be termed unprinci pled ; whereas, had he formed a coalition with Mr. Mellish, who was opposed to those principles. of • li berty which lie himself had always professed, such a junction of interests, might, indeed, be called odious, and unprincipled. Mr. i'vlowsit replies, and disclaimed any personal allusion either to Mr. Byng or Mr. Whitbread. Mr. Sheriff Panatss vindicated his impartiality towards all parties, as a public officer. The Election was then adjourned, and the Meeting quietly dispersed. TWELFTII DAY.

As the Schools Of the Royal Academy were closed, and all its funciaoiri sue tended, by the death of the late Preadant, it was of material importance en this account, and with the view to the usual pre paratory arrangements for the annual exhibitiOn, that the fune ral shoul(l'eot be delayed ; atid as early a day as pracricable was therefore fixed for the public haerment in St. Paul'c Cathedral.. The obvious consequence, hbsaaver, of this has been, that owiug to the absence Irons town, at this particular season, of so minty Noblemen and Gertlemen of the hijhast rank, and the inclispo• sition of several others, many warm admirers and friends of this celebrated arilat and amiable man, tali° have, during his long life, honoured hint with Weir fiiendsli;ii, and who have been particularly (desirous of paying their laa tribute of respect to his remains, have ineen precluded attending the funeral.

IiOXERS. So confident ware all the best judges of fighting of Ceopee beating Hickman, that they would not,take any o,lds, and even bets were laid, that Cabbage and Cooper both won, and 6 and 7 to 1 Hist those who did win, would not. Many consider th:t Illckmail can beat any man in England—no matter about size or weight. His intrepidity excited the greatest ; stonishment, and altbowils.Cooper made sucb tine Huai left•han.led hits in front of the head in meeting the 4 gght-handed rust. when Hickman was not knocked down, he would he in and wear his antagonist out. Beating Cooper has placed Hickman about first upon the list.
