He fincetely congratulated them on the *eels of their exertions this day in favour of the gallantrOfficer, Sir Samuel Hood, and Mr. Sheridan, and the complete triumph they would fpeedily obtain by their perfeverance over Mr. Paull. The memory of thofe fplendid talents, by which their jrfeat city had been reprefented for above twenty-five years, in the perfon of that lamented patriot, the late Mr. Fox, demanded at their hands a fucceffor worthy of his great charaeler. That fuceeffor was now pre kneed for their choice in the perfon of Mr. Sheridan, the bolom friend and compatriot of their late glorious Reprefentative. • Mr. Prrtt Moots congratulated the independent Eleators of Wedminder upon the triumphant fuccefs of .tisis day's poll in favour of the gallant Admiral and his Right Hon. Friend. He told them yeller. day what would be the refult of thole alive vier. lions on foot for his Right Hon. Friend. He told them that Mr. Paull would fpeedily flag in his ca reer. The refult had verified his predittions. Yef terday his Right Hon. Friend polled as many as Mr. Paull :—to-day he had polled three for his one. Bet' what would the Eleflors lay when they thould be told, that out of the two limy - wad and odd votes which enabled Mr. Paull to boatl fo high a majority ye4terday, no leis than fix hundred and thirteen were deteaed to he bad ? given by men who paid neither houfe rent (or poor's rates ; but who voted under the influence of the porter pot, fo powerful a Rime.' louslin Mr. Paull's eflimation. Tomorrow his Right Honourable Friend. indeed of three, would ponies to one with Mr. Paull, who, if he had any good fenfe remaining, would now refign a conceit which it would be impoffible for him to maintain with the flighted probability of fuccefs, and repair, with the Chattered remnant of his forces, to fupport his friend Sir Francis Burdett at the Middlefex Eleaion. How ever, his confequence, asa Candidate for Weflminfler, had but another folitary day to live. He concluded by apologizing once more for the abfence of his Right Hon. Friend, whole illnefs continued, from the Choke of a bludgeon, received on quitting the Hollings, from a ruffian, on Monday. Hoping that he would be able to return them his thanks in perfon. on the dole of to-morrow's Poll, he trolled they would now join in a hearty cheer of three times three to the file eel's of hi: Right Hon. Friend, and the gallant Ad miral. Sir SAMOIL HOOD thanked his friends molt cor dially for the new proofs of their zeal which they hid given him that day, and the refult of that zeal in a triumphant majority—in the fulled confidence' that thole exertions would be manfully continued, he hoped that the majority of to morrow would be decline of the Etc ion, and prove their determines tion manfully to fupport the Conditutional reprefen tatives againd a man inimical to the Conditution itfelf. 1 _ _ _ Mr. Palm., in his tarn, claimed the attention of the people. He repeated his former profefflons of the principles upon which he had ventured to nand Candidate for their fulfrages; and Paid, that the (tort. lived triumph of this day'. majority to the llant Admiral. when he con fi dered the mode by w hich it was obtained, did not at all damp his hopes. It was notorious that, in order to molter the forces which appeared this day in the gallant Admiral's fupport, not only had the Navy Office, the Admiralty Office, the War Office, and all the other Offices of ' , Government in Somerfet-place, and throughout the City of Wefiminfler, been rummaged, ranfacked, and (wept of every Clef k who could furnifh a vote— but even the Offices and Counting.houfes of every Army Agent, Contraltor, and Tradefman, (ant- tioned or influenced by Government, were fubjed ed to confcription for the hke purpofe. to eke out this boafled majority of the gallant Admiral. and_ Ewell the numbers of his new ally. But they knew little of his difpofition who fuppofes he was to be frightened into a refignation by the majority of a few hundreds thus obtained, in the prefent nage of the Poll. He could not command his fupporters into the field—he could not drag them to the hullings like eonferipts, manacled in the chains of the Treafury : his reliance was upon the free will of a free people ; and he looked only fur a fpontaneous fupport. In his reliance upon that, he Ihould continue the Poll, if neccfrary, to the laa hour of the fourteenth day, and give the Independent Eleltors of Weltminfler an opportunity to prove to the world, that not all the influence of Minifters, with all the gold in the Tree fury, could induce them to forfeit their indepen dence, or yield to the mandates of a junto leagued for their fubjugatioo. MR. SHERIDAN'S DINNER. Yeflerday a numerous and refpatable body of the Eluctors of Wellmintier dined together at the Shake- IPeare Tavern. Lord WILLIAM Rossiet. in the chair. The Noble Lord was illppOTlCd by a number of eminent charaFtcrs, and the day paffed in the utmoft conviviality. Lord William took occafion, on his health being drank, to nate the popular reception which he had met with in Surrey, alter being eigh- teen years their Reprefentative, on the principle' which he ha! learned from the late Mutinous Statel man, the Member for IVellrnintler.

MATISI, in a fhort Speech. returned his gratetul thanks to his Friends, fur having invert-' ed him with the high and dignified honuur ut#econs ing one of their Reprefentatives in Parliament. As long as he lived, and life was doubly deferable to him on their account, he fhould feel a lively interen in, their welfare, and his Ready faith and integrity Ihould be devoted to the public good, and more cf- ' pecially to that of his Fellow Citizens. Sir WILLIAM CURTIS briefly addreffed the Meet ing. He returned his molt grateful thanks to the Livery, for conferring on him the proud and dignified honour of fending him to Parliament for the fourth time as their Reprefentative, an honour conferred on none of his predeceffors. He had not to basil of his abilities, but he fhould never deviate from that lice of conduet which the Livery by their voices had ap• proved of. Alderman Cowes, in a neat Speech, returned thanks to the Livery, for the proud honours they had invefled him with. It was not merely a Seat in Par liament that was his ambition, but it was the pride he felt in being eleaed a Reprefentative among lAs Brother Citizens; the only feat he wanted was in a truly Britifh Brcaß, which made 11:s glow with Patrintifm. He not only owed his favours to the prefent Admi niaration, but he alfo owed favours to thole who had elated him. He would fupport Miniflers as long as the, did good, and anted for the benefit of the Country ; but fhould they, deviate from that line of condue, he would be among the fira to with , draw that fupport. There were Lords and Dukes who insetted Members cf Parliament with their feats, and they were confequently pledged to ad as they fhould dire Et ; but he fhould obey the voice of the Citizens of London only ; and when he did not do lb, he would refign his Scat. Mr. Averiss returned thanks to the Livery, and affured them, that he had not an idea of !landing forward as a Candidate, until he was invited by 'them fo to do. He had received a marked politenefs from the fuccefsful Candidates, and the Sheriffs, which alfo deferved his thanks ; and be intimated his intention of Sanding forward at a future day, fhould the Livery think him worthy of their Mirages. Mr. HAMM alfo returned thanks to the Livery. He bore a grateful recolleltion of having been invi. red to Rand forward by a mow of hands ; but he had made a promife not to Rand ; for if he had aced, he might probably ha►e addreffed them as their Repre fentati►e.

The Matter's Report was delivered out the very day after the De cree was pronounced, affirming the firmer Decree on which the Report was founded. Mr M•Nainara had had the whole long vacation, abundant time to look over it. and to prepare his exceptions to it.— ' This application was without the fhadow of founda tion, except as it was made on the ground of per tonal accommodation to his Learned Friends. He did not know how he could be joßified in affenting to any delay in fuck a cafe as this. The plaintiff was a poor woman, literally without a fi :pence, obliged to take an apartment within the Rules of the King's Bench Prifon, to avoid being theown into it, for debts contraiffed (or her fobillience ; and by the Mailer's report, the was entitled to receive of Mr. M`Namara 26,0001. however, se a matter of accom modation, he would content to the allowance of three or four days to prepare there exceptions, the other fide contenting to come afterwards to an immedikte hearing of the exceptions. Mr. Fon atashay s laid he had done his duty to his Client, and would waive his motion, for he could not be p epated in four days ; he had other briefs to read. The CNAPICILLOII paid a handfome compliment to Mr. F Qs& on the excellent manner in which he had conducted the caufe of Mr. M•liamars, and nbferved, that though different Courts had different rules of pratlice, yet they were all governed by one and the fame principle, which was, to adminiller Juffice to the utmoa of their power, and the rule. of praftice would be relaxed for the attainment of that object ; but then it mull be done on fame authentic cattle, fame matter of fat% verified by Affidavit Here was nothing of that kind, and it was impiable fur the Court to go farther than the indulgence cffereff no the other fide—To-morrow it would be a motion of courfe to confirm the mailer's Report.

Mr. Grianow moved fur a rule to thew cattle, why the verdi.t obtained for the Plaintiff in this [Mlle, fhould not be fet slide, and a new trial granted. The caufe was tried at Guildhall, at the Sittings atter left terns, and was an :edicts upon a policy of infnrance On the flip Arabella, employed in the African trade. The Captain failed with inliruftions almott unlmit ed, except that in every part of them be was defired to make the greatest difpatch in the purchafc of his cargo at the belt market. He failed felt for Cape Cleft. but upon his arrival there, finding that Dawes were difficult to be procured, and being informed that they were to be obtained more eafily at Delmena, a I fmall Dutch port, where there fublifled a mutual courtefy between the traders of each country, altho' Great Britain was at that time at war with Holland, be went there, and traded without molellation from the Dutch. Whilst he continued there, an Englifh fri gate hove in fight, by which his velfel was taken, with tome of the Dutchmen, and was afterwards ultimately condemned. In going to this port he was ading fur the luppofed advantage of his employers. Thequellion was, whether this amounted to Barratry? For the Plaintiff it was contended, that it was Barratry in the Captain to fail to an enemy's port, with know. ledge of its being fo ; and in ord e r t o th ew t h a t i t was not, it was infitted that the Defendant should clearly prove by his evidence, that the Plaintiffs had directed their Captain to go there. It appeared that the Mat , ter or Captain of the read had no particular advan tage in view for himfelf, by going to Delmena, which' did not alto turn to the advantage of his em ployees. The only advantage he could have, would be by getting earlier to a market, by anticipating others, by arriving more early at his market, and thereby obtaining a greater price fur his (laves, and confequeraly a greater turn by wag of per centage for himfelf ; which it was obvious would alto increase the profit. of his employers. It was proved that it was ufual for the Englilb or Dutch merchants at the port of Dclmeaa to co oper a te ve r y c or di a lly loge .
