Sir WILLIAM CURTIS, Sir JAMES SHAW, and Mr. Alderman ATKINS, after significantly pointing to the A retired. Mr. WAITHMAN then stepped forward, and was je i t ived with loud acclamations. Whenever he at empted to address the crowd assembled in front of thehastings, however, a confused murmur was raised, w hich for some time completely drowned all his amts. He persevered, nevertheless, in his determi nation to be heard, and informed the assembly that be iral in no hurry, and would wait till they were gat. He perceived that persons had been placed there to prevent him from being heard ; but he as .wed them, that no interruption should intimidate him from persevering till he had stated all that he lad to say The longer the interruption, the longer skald be his speech. TLis attempt to prevent him ham being heard, indeed, made him sensible of the importance of his addressing them, as it shewed that his adversaries were afraid of the effect which he 1 light produce. This gave hien a higher idea than head yet yentured to entertain of himself p,—for it was a convicting proof that his adversaries dreaded his harangues. The three worthy Aldermen who Indian presented themselves, had made use of an expressirekind of dumb eloquence, pointing to the poll, as if the state of it was highly triumphant to . Clem, He, on the other hand, was of opinion, that 'taus highly triumphant to the • Independent Livery ithe City of London. He was an humble indivi dual, unsupported by any powerful interest, who &sod forth asking the suffrages of the Livery purely on independent grounds. Was it not .then a tri traphant thing, that in the midst of the corruption of this great city—against the influence of the India. 'Home—of the Bank—of the South Sea liouse—'-of the Post .01fice—of the Custom House—of the Ex- Ore—and all the other powerful interests to which public corruption sad an immense taxation give birth.--there were to be found so large a number as 1900 Independent Liverymen 1 It was to be observed, that there was such a narked difference of opinion bttween him and the three candidates next immediately above him on the poll, that any electors who polled both for'him and for them, must hive polled for the one f rom p r i nc i p l e an d f or the other 1 from interest or compulsion. It was against him, as he had already said, that all the interest had been ex erted; the votes which he had obtained, therefore, must have been given from principle ; and if his op ponents were to deduct from their poll, all such votes as were in this situation of voting for him from grin , ciple, and for them influence, he should be glad to know where would then be their present apparent majorities I Had the election been by ballot, he felt confident that the majority in his favour would have been as three to one. There were still unpolled a number of Liverymen more than adequate, even now, Innen the scale. He (Mr'. Waitfirnan) should do his duty by keeping the poll open to the last ; it re tu ned for the Livery to do theirs. If they did so, even at this aUvancevi state of the election, enter . Alined no fears ae to the result. • , jfir.

Mr. CANNING'S carriage has broken down three lines on his way from Devonshire, which, together *ah the difficulty of procuring horses, has retarded his arrival here; Mr. Ler?, merchant of London, but formerly of this town, was with him at Birming ham when his ' carriage b roke down there, and advis ed him to remain there a few hours to take some rest, and. Mr. LITT proceeded on here in a chaise and four, with all possible speed, and arrived just at the time the procession was to begin to move with Mr. CANNING to make his public entry. The Committee of the Right Hon. Geddeman determined, that as every thing was 'arranged, the procession should pro ceed, although Mr. CANNING had not arrived, and it, accordingly did, passing through Seymour-street, Russell-street, Clarence -street, Slater-street, Bold. street, Lord -street, Castle -street, where Mr. GLAD STONE, a merchant, and Mr. LITT, addressed the multitude from the top of a coach, but the noise and confusion was so great, that it was impossible to hear what they said, except those who were close to the carriage. After they had finished, Mr. CASEY and Mr. CLARKE spoke in favour of Mr. BROUGHAM and Mr. CREEVEY, from Mr. Roscoe's Bahk. The con course of people assembled on the occasion were equal, if not superior, to those assembled on Mr. BROUGHAM'S entry. THUSRDAY, OCTOBER B.—State of the Poll at the close of the first day: Canning - 139 Gascoyne Brougharn 137 Tarleton Creevy - 135 • ELECTION ROW AT BATH. • - 117 3 Wednesday the Election of two Members to repre sent the City of Bath in Parliament, came on at the Guildhall, when Lord JOHN THYNNE, and Colonel PALMER, the late Members, where re-elected. Mr. JOHN ALLEN offered himself as a Candidate upon the• Freemen's Interest, and strenuously asserted their Elective Franchise, bufthe Mayor refused to receive their votes, it having been decided by the House of Commons in 1706, that the Elective Franchise is solely vested in the Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Councilmen, 31 in number, and by an Act 2 Geo. 11. Chap. 24., that decision was considered as final; not ; withstanding, after Lord J. THYNNE and Colonel PALMER were elected and chaired, and the whole Corporation had left the Hall, Mr. ALLEN kept pos. session of it, and continued polling the Freemen till four o'clock, at which time he had polled 29; he then returned to the Christopher Inn, where he, harangued the populace (who had assembled in great numbers before the house) from the window, and desired them to go home quietly, and• to meet him again the next morning at eleven o'clock. Thursday the people began to assemble by nine o'clock, and by the time Mr. ALLEN appeared, at eleven, the mob was much greater than on the pre ceding day, and on his proceeding to the Guildhall, the doors were shut against him, it having been pre-. vicusly agreed upon by the Mayor and Body Cor porate, that his conduct was illegal. He then got upon a bench, brought for that purpose, and began to address the populace, but was soon interrupted by the civil power, upon which his fiiends got him away. This appeared the signal for what is called a row, which they commenced by breaking all the windows in the lower part of the Town Hall. At one o'clock the Riot Act was read, but instead of dispersing the mob, it only enraged them still more, for they then demolished all the windows and lamps within their reach, and would not suffer the Mayor and Constables to come out of the Hall. At two o'clock the shops were all shut, and things began to wear rn alarming aspect • upon which the cavalry and l volunteers were called out, who only got instated and pelted with mud and stones. At four o'clock a party of dragoons arrived from the vicinity of Bristol, and scoured the streets and passages, whicls,seems to have the desired effect. At five o'clock, Mr. ALLEN left Bath in a chaise and four for London, promising to be back by Sa turday raorning.—The Oxford Militia arrived in the course of the evening : the streets were full, but quiet. The military paraded the streets all night, and the people stemed peaceable yesterday, though rather unwilling to disperse. BRISTOL ELECTION. Wednesday morning, about ten o'clock, the Sheriffs proceeded to the Guildhall, accompanied by the va rious Candidates and their friends, and then went through the necessary previous forms. R. H. DAVIs, Esq. was briefly nominated by Mr. T. JoNes, and seconded by Mr. Alderman VAUGHAN. On Mr. DAVIS commencing his Address, the noise and confusion began—cries of baboon, no tallow jobber—no bludgeon-men—no blues—and no White Lion Club—resounded from all quarters, and after some time Mr. D. sat down. Upon the Mayor, M. CASTLE, Esq. rising for the purpose of nominating Sir S. Rostrus, silence was ►nstantly restored, and the short but 'neat speech which be delivered, was listened to with great atten tion. He stated the interest which, in common with the poorest individual, he felt for the preservation of our independence as a nation ; Which independence could only be secured by choosing as our Represen tatives men in whom we could confide as the friends of civil and religious liberty. Sir S. ROMILLY was a man whom, with perfect confidence, he could recom mend to his fellow-citizens, as one worthy the high and important trust which they were then met to delegate ; and he closed by requesting they would exert themselves in preserving the peace of the city in conjunction with him, their Chief Magistrate. The Rev. Sir ABRAHAM ELTON, Bart. seconded the nomination in a most eloquent and feeling address of some length, and which made a great impression on the meeting. Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY, in a very interesting man ner, then expatiated upon the qualifications which he , deemed necessary in a Member of Parliament; and, 'lf the Electors. of Bristol thought with him, they would judge his claims by that test ; professions were unnecessary In one whose public conduct was before them ; for, if professions were consistent with such past conduct, they were superfluous, and if they were incostristrire, in that case what stability of character could be expected. His speech was throughout re ceived with the greatest applause. EDWARD PROTHEROE, Esq. was proposed by Wm. Fawn, Esq. and seconded by Mr. ANDREW POE& Mr. PROTHEROE was received with such powerful marks of disapprobation, that, after several ineffec tual attempts to be heard, he was forced to desist. Mr. PYM proposed HENRY HUNT, Esq. and, after being seconded, he addressed the meeting for about an hour. Upon the Sheri* calling for a she of hands, Sir S. RONtYLLY and H. Hunt Esq. were declared elected by a decided majority but a poll was demanded, on the behalf of Messrs. Aiwa and Normal:or ; and, atter polling a few men for form sake, the Sheriffs adjourned till ten o'clock this morning. Tuuttsmty, Ocr. B.—The State of the Poll at ten minutes before four, is thus: Davis - - 369 Romany - 226 Protherne • 363 Hunt - 65 FRIDAY, OCT. a-At t ree quarters past three o'clock this afternoon the numbers were— Davis - - 690 Ron:1111y • 60!

There were four Candidates at the first, but Mr. CULSON after two days poll, thought prope r to decline the contest. It is impossible to form any correct opinion, notwithstanding three days poll have elapsed, who will be the successful Candidates, as it is so near a race, and the friends of each party appear confident. The state of the poll, at the close of the third day, is as follows Mr. Lockhart - - - 4.53 Mr. Wright - - - - 448 Mr. Eden - - - - 4.14 ARUNDEL, OCTOBER 8. The Members returned for Arundel, are Major- General WILDER and H. HOWARD MOLINEUX, Esq. (the latter gentleman is also returned for Gloucester.) Lord BINNING, instead of not offering himself, polled to the last vote in the above Borough ; he was una voidably absent, (from a severe indisposition) both before the Poll and at it : indeed the circumstance of his being unable to personally canvass the Electors, lost him the Election, which was a hard run between him and Gene:al WILDER. WORTHING, OCTOBER 8. We have had a considerable influx of company during the last week, and although the weather has been very unfavourable, a great degree of bustle and gaiety is apparent at the Libraries and other public places.—Among the last arrivals are the following : Earl Wint‘rton, Countess Winterton, Dowager Marchioness of Lansdowne, Dowager Countess Lonsdale, Lady Prescot, Lady Elizabeth 'Townsend, Mrs. Lionel Darner, Sir Isaac Heard, Car ter; Sir Charles M. Burrell, Bart. Sir Henry Fletcher, Bart. Rev. Selby Penfold, Rev. Mr. Wilkinson, Rev. R. Board, Rev. C. Weston, &c. RiIMSG.I7E, OCTOBER 7. The MASTER OF THE CEREMONIES' Ball took place List Light at the elegant Assembly Rooms,' con. tiguous to the King's Head Inn. The company ex ceeded 300 persons, including not only the fashion ables from Broadstairs, Kingsgate, St. Lawrence, and Pegweil-bay, but likewise the 46 gayest among the gay" sojourning at Deal, Dover, arid Canter bury. The ball-room was lighted up by superb chan deliers and lustres, and the card-room with crystal lamps. The loyal air of " God save the King" was struck up by the band about half-past nine o'clock. The dancing commenced soon after ten with the fa vourite tune of the Cameronian Rant, led off by the ,accomplished Miss Cantrros and an offiter attach ed to the King's Getman Legion. About 40 couple followed in two sets. Upon the whole it was a very charming treat ; and when the music, on one occa sion, played Marquis Wellington, the ardour of the military souls present was at once kindled and har monized by the irresistible inspirations around. The Officers belonging to the Derby Militia, the 3d bat talion of Artillery, the German Legion, &c. were of the party, and two Naval Officers. The. music ceased about half-past two o'clock. Among the company were the following : Lord and Lady Henniker, Mrs. Townley, General and Mrs. Carleton, Lord and Lady Edward Bentinck, Mrs. and Mi.s Bla keney, Mr. and Mrs. Anson, Mrs.Fnrcy di, Mrs. and Misses Mit chell, Lady and Misses Curtis, Dr. and Mrs. Grey, General and Mrs. Harvey, Hon.

Mrs. Bucknell, Hon. tin. Meade, Mr. and Misses Moore, Mr. and Mrs. sbington. HAYMARKET.—This Theatre closed last night for the season with " The Africans," " The Manager in Distress," and " The Quadruped: of Quedlinhurgh."— Between the Play and Entertainments Mr. TERRY came forward, and addressed the audience as follows: " I,Armes A ND GENTLICAIttI—The Theatre closes Its season thil evening; and I am selected (bowevec unworthy) for the honour of addressing you on this t,ccasion. " '1 he increasing protraction of Performances in the Winter Houses, and the entensive control thost Houses poetess over persons engaged by them, have rendered it a very arduous un dertaking to establish, on this spot, an effective Company of Performers. " How far they have been effective during the season of the present year, may best be inferred bg that generous encourage ment which you have given to the company collectively; and by that constant and marked applause with Catch you have favour ed various individuals particularly. " I am, therefore, deputed by the Managers, to offer their most cordial acknowledgments for the past, and the assurance of their best exertions for the future. _ _ " The Performers, Ladies and Gentlemen, beg to add their thanks to tkose of the Managers • and with those sensations of gratitude, which your liberality h as inspired, we respectfully bid you—Farewell." DUD/a-LANE THEATRE.-•-Last night, about nine o'clock, the Company belonging to this Theatre were summoned together by a general call, for the purpose of a final rehearsal, before opening the House to the Public. The stage was fully lighted up, and haa a rich and admirable effect. In the boxes were ' several friends of the Managers, &c. and in the pit and galleries a number of the workmen employed at the 1 heatre. A rehearsal of Hamlet took place; and, as far as we are enabled to judge from the state of the House, thinly peopled and disturbed by noises in every quarter, this theatre will be found as admi rably adapted to the conveyance of sound, as it is in appearance beautiful and magnificent. Even the whispers of a rehearsal were distinctly heard in every part, and level speaking had a sonorous and pecllieet. effect. At the end of the first act, the whole bo4y of performers appeared on the stage, and sung " God Save the /Get." Mr. WHITBREAD was in this Boxes. Mr. RAXMOND acted as Stage Manager, as well as the Ghost in Hamlet. Mr. T. DTIDIN entered upon his new duties as Prompter; and every thing went off smoothly, to the great satisfaction of all par ties. The scenery is extremely appropriate and well executed. The coup either from the audience part to the stage, or from the stage to the audience part, is grand and effective beyond slescriptiot CAN4DA. .-.. GENERAL ORDER. Head-quarters, Montreal, Ausist 33, 111 1 L It is with real regret that his Excellency the Goa vernor-General and Commander of the Forces an nounces to the troops under his command, and to the public, the failure of an important arrangement, lately entered into between Major-General Dearborn, Commander-in-Chief of the Forces of the United States of America, and himself, for a suspensiqn of active hostilities, and which his Excellency had hoped might have ultimately terminated in an amicable set tlement of the differences subsisting between the two countries. Captain Pinckney, Aide-cle-Camp to General Dear born, arrived at nine o'clock List night, being the bearer of dispatches from the Commander-in-Chief of the American Forces, with the information, that the President of the United States of America had not thought proper to authorise a continuance of the provisional measures entered into by his Excellency and General Dearborn, through the Adjutant-Gene ral, Colonel Baynes, and that consequently the ar mistice was to cease in four days from the time of the communication reaching Montreal, and the posts at Kingston and Fort George. At the same time that his Excellency cannot but lament so unlooked fcr decision upon the friendly disposition made by him, through General Dearborn, to the Government of the United States, he trusts that it will be matter of high satisfaction to all his Majesty's subjects in this province to know, that her has, used all the means in his power to prevent a further increase of the breach subsisting between Great Britain and America, and to ward off from these provinces the calamities of war with which they are threatened. In the same spirit of conciliation *ltich has uniformly influenced his Majesty's Ministers in their late negotiations with the Government of the United States, his Excellency availed himself of the earliest opportunity of commie. !skating to the Commander in Chief of the American Force, the di patches he had received from Mr. Foss ter, at Halifax, containing the intentions of his Ma. jesty's Government respecting the Repeal of the Or ders in Council ; and his Excellency could not doubt but that this couciliatory measure removing the al leged principal ground of difference between Great Britain and America, and which had been transmit ted to the Government of the United States throtigli Mr. Baker, late Secretary of Legation at Washing. ton, would be met'by a similar disposition on their part, he submitted to General Dearborn the propriety of a suspension of hostilities until the determination of the President should be made known upon the subject. 'Thezeady acquiescence of that Officer in this proposal, excepting as far as related to General Hull, who was acting under the immediate orders of the Executive Government of America, and the orders immediately issued by him, strongly maths tested hi . friendly disposition on the occasion, and led to a reasonable expectation that his Government would not fail to approve his conduct, and to confirm the armistice he had entered intered into. In this expectation his Excellency has been disappointed—. and the American Government, by refusing to con . gigue the suspension of hostilities, though with the certain evidence before them of the actual Repeal of the Orders in Council, has proclaimed in language not to be misunderstood, that other objects, inde pendent of those held out to the American people, as the ground of the war, were originally in their contemplation. That the conquest of the Canadas, either for the purpose of extending their own Let rito. ries, or of gratifying their desire of annoying Great Britain, was one amongst others of those objects, can not be doubted. The invasion of the Upper Province undertaken so immediately after the declaration of war, shows in the strongest manner how fully they bad prepared themselves for that event, and how highly they had flattered themselves with finding it au easy conquest, from the supposed weakness of the force ot.posed to them, and the spirit of disaffection which they had previously endeavoured to excite amongst its inhabis rants. Foiled as they have been in this attempt by the brave and united efforts of the regular force, Mili tia, and Indians of that Province, under the command of their distinguished leader, their whole army, with its General captured, and their only remaining for tress and post in the adjoining territory wrested from them, it is not to be doubted but that the American Government will, keenly feel this disappointment, and consequently endeavour to avail themselves of the surrender of Detroit. to term it an invasion of their country, and to make it a ground for calling upon the Militia to march to the frontiers for the conquest of the Canadas. A pretext so weak and unfounded, though it may deceive some, it will not fail to be re ceived in its proper light by others, and it will be :Immediately perceived by those who will give them selves to reflect upon the subject, that the pursuit of an invading army, into their own territory, is but a natural consequence of the first invasion and capture of the place to which they may retire for safety, a measure indispensably necessary for the security and protection of the country originally attacked. Under all these circumstances, so strongly indica tive of the moderation, forbearance, and true spirit of conciliation manifested on the part of his Ma jesty's Government towards the .United States of America, and of their determined hostility to Great Britain, his Excellency the Commander of the forces trusts that the troops (regulars and militia) th under his command, as well as ail his Majesty's oer sub. jects in this part of his dominions, animated with sen timents of just indignation at the extraordinary Fe tensions of the enemy, and their unwarrantable views of conquest upon the Canadas, will be prepared to repel with firmness, and with that invincible spirit and true British courage which has so gloriously ma nifested itself in Upper Canada, in the total defeat and capture of the invading foe, any farther attempt the enemy may have the temerity to make; his Ex cellency looks with confidence, under the protection of Diem Pnoseezece, to the confirmed discipline of his Majesty's troops, and to the zeal, loyalty, and courage of all descriptions of persons in these Pro vinces, as a certain presage of the same glorious re-. suit.
