Sovereign himeelf. The King haat declared by a pro clamation, which he had published in Hanover, that no difference should be made between man and man there in .iv 1 liberties and in temporal rights, on aico.int of relit inns belief. (Gre.it cheering, amidst which , a yellow eicraimed, " Canning's coming, mon, to tell you you. Ire.'') If the principle on szhich that procl +motion was founded was trite in Hanover, it would not be false in Englaii ; and if hi, Nlajesty entertained such'opi nions with regard to the subjects of 'his foreign domi n'ons, it would be a libel and an insult on his und-r -standing to suppise that he would • entertain a diffe rent nyini ,, n as to his English and Irish subj. ets. Cheers).—Bit let them not make .it necessary to bring the matter to a strugglt a fourth time; let them do it this good this d time, a hick they all knew was isidered lucky, and let them convince the world that sp to of parsons, patronage, placemen, pensions, tax gatl,erers. attornies, and crillectrirs--;n spite of colliers, weavers, shipwrights, ropers, and carpenvers—the honest g• ey cna.s of West In , ,rel3ntl—whether the Colonel call r.l them 'gentry or not—vrete determined to oppose his :Aber, and to achieve the independence ~ f the r county. A show of hands being in favour of Colonel Lowther and Vlt. Tlrrnigham, Lftrd Lowther instantly demanded a poll.. The Under Sheriff appointed it to commence at two o'clock. "The polling then commenced, and at half-past four o'clock the Under Sheriff declared the state of the poll. I. was as follows: Lord Lowther . ; 10 Col. nel Lowther . . 9 11. lkoughsm, KN. . . 6 The dirge candidates severally expressed their thanks to their uriorters. ISCOND DAIr••••71lIDAV ZVENINO. The business of the election recommenced this morn. iig with a regular row between, the blues and yellows, 11 which the later were put to a general rout, their Rigs captured, and torn to pieces. The grater part of the day passed off quietly enough ;„but a short time before the poll closed, a similar riot took place between the two parties, when, after a sharp struggle, in which 'everal heals were broken, and one man setiously wounded, the " No Popery" banner was again destroyed. At four o'clock the polling closed, and the niultitarde, as is usual upon such occasions; began to assemble round the hustings. A country farmer, of the name of Richardson, amused Mr. Brongharn's friends by haran guing them at considerable length, and with great vehemence, against the tyranny which, he said, the Lowthers had long exercised in Cumberland and West inoi eland. Lord Mounzux was then recognised by the crowd, and loudly cheered. He said he had joined his good , ai•lies to theirs in two former contests, and he now fame to witness the third, which he trusted would bring to an end the tyrannic despotism which the Loss then had ex,-rcised in the county. The Under Sheriff then declared the state of the poll. It was as follows: _ _ _ Second day's poll First day's poll Lord Lowther. Brougham. CoLLowtber. . 270 239 261 . 10 6 9 Gross pelt ; taco $45 $7O Lord Low-runn then came forward to return his cnrdial thanks to.the freeholders who had that day given het their support. He was gr:rteful to those .of his lrienis who bait already come forward, and looked upon their success that day as_a happy indication of what would be the final result of the poll.. His:hopes of success were redoubled, since Many of those-voters who 41aVaefore been doubtful had given him 'their-votes. Colonel LOWTHER then addresser& the freeholders, aid thanked them for,the support they hid given ; hut we could nor hear a: syllable that he said, owing to the tremendous clamour which was kept up the ?thole true that he was speaking. Mr. BROUGHAM.—He was excessively surprised that their adversaries, after all the attempts which they had made that day, had only got 22 ahead of the Blues on that .day's poll. He should not have been at all sur prised if their majority had been three or four times that number, for he would just tell the freeholders how they had got on so far as they had already. In the tirst place some of his friends from the eastward hail gone away home last night, conceiving that the Blues had votes enough to fill that ward without their heip the next morning ; and in the next plate, for the first cause by itself would have mattered little, their ni)ponents had had recourse to the same means in one •i:trd, which they had tried so often at the last election-. lie calms ted his friends, above all other things, to avoid a breaclt of the peace. Their victory was sore, if thcy did not throw. it away by over confluence. He thanked them for the exertions they had made that day ; and he begged they would continue them. r. Haut:GaAs' then retired from the-hustings as did di* other Candidates, and in an hour afterwards the street was comparatively empty. SATURDAY MOANING, TIN O'CLOCR.

At the close of the poll on Thursday, after the can didates had returned to their hotels, they made their ::seal orations. Captainßa ROI t—Gentlemen, the enemy has retrnaed tc, bricks, but that proves their weakness. My friends "•ase been kept away from the hustings by an armed "Ai; but be rot intimidated—make your way to the and the election is mine.

Mr. Clearr-r harangued his ;nob at his favourite hour, eight o'clock. Mr. Wood was his theme. Ile abused his brother Reformer to" all intents and pur -poses—contempt, anger, hatred, and all uncharitable- ness he poured on him; accused him of dulness, deceit, treachery,ingratitude, and all the crimes in the catalogue of election immoralities, all because h;s brother Reformer appears likely to he elected. In the evening Cobbett discharged the. remainder of his anger against Wood in the shape of a hand bill. - Yesterday an armed mob blockaded the don leading to Mr. Cobbett's tally box, from an early hour in the 1 morning—they repelled all but Mr. Wood's voter. 4 —The opening of the Court was attended by the usual rush of Wood's voters into Cobbett's tally box, and di stormy discussion be:vveen the agents of the candidates Mr. Cobbett, jun. entreated the Mayor to turn these electors our. Captain Barrie's agent charged Mr. Wood's Com mittee with having' bludgeonmen ; this Mr W. denied. Mr. Br .y, the Town Mite, and Mr. Nicholson, the Mayor's Bailiff, the associate returning officers, 1. ft the hustings to superintend the disarming of the mob, but after a few moments re-appeared hastily and in evident agitation. Mr. BRAY—We have been 'drives back by the armed men— struck., and pursued into the Hall. Mr. NscnoLsors-1 got two blows of a bludgeon.

Barrie)—.You gave those armed Men ale yesterday evening, and their breakfast this morning: Captain BAaats--ft , is false; they are hired by Mr. Wood: The MAYOR—These armed men must be pat down. Mr. Nicnot.sos—There's no force in the town sufEcient to sup press them. _ Maros—Then I must send for more. I'll take care that the elect Ors shall get free access to the hustings, and that before long. I am left but one resource, and that I will employ if I am compelled to it. Captain Baasta—ril petition the House of Commons against the return. lam pledged to do it and dolt. Maroa—You have a right to do it. Proceed to the poll, The polling then commenced amid much confusion. which soon subsided. Captain Barrie 's agents declined examining any of the ' voters, on the ground that they bad protested against all the proceed logs a. illegal. Mcvna—Then I'll examine the voters myself; 'tis my business to take care that none but qualified persons are allowed to vine. Tranquillity was restored within the Count. but at the, outside, particularly at the door leading to Cobbett's tally-box, bustle, tumult, and threats of violence, were I frequent among the rabbferib itiganized body of them stood in two files near Cobbetes.door ; they were armed with short, thick, heavy bludgeons, with which they thru b ick every toter (not a frieud•of Wood's) who At tempted to enter, and menacederes y well-dressed person who came in sight. Such a ragged, filthy, ferocious set of ruffians never met together before; No decent per-ion felt safe while near them. Captain Barbel enters weie actually awed from voting. Mr. Wood's voter! Oared in abuntantly, and kft the-Captain behind en the poll by a considerable majority. . • This was the state of affaiwashalf past ten, when a party of Dragoons (the Ist Or s iCiites Dragoon Guards), I headed by their comminder,'-titptain. Polhill, turned the corner in full gallop, dasMcliowards• the Miti-ket, and charged the lately triudiPbant bludgeon gentry With drawn swords. The Dragoon:had:advanced very rapidly, but not half so rapidlres the universal surrage into retreated. • The red coati, - knihy helthets, waving swords, and warlike appearifice of the troopers, height ened by the rapid suddenness.of their approach, and the tremendous sound of their heavy and impetuous tramp ling on the paved street, absolutely terrified the armed ?Alan:. Away they new on ,all sides - ;,some down the street before the dragoons—softie into the door which they had been guarding—same • hid their clubs and skulked into the croWd— but one had the spirit, or ra ther audacity, to raise his club against the military.— Ile was instailly ovetpowered and seized. The mo ment the Mayor learned the arrival of the dragoons, he proceeded with his associates and constables to that part of the hustings (Cobbett's side) where the riotous club men had taken shelter, had' them taken into cus tody, disarmed handcuffed, and conveyed to the House of Correction, between two lines of constables, &inked by dragoons. They were ea •mined instantly by two Magistrates—they all stated that tiley received the bludgeons from Wood's Committee, for the purpose of keeping Captain Barrie's voters from the hustings; and that they had got their breakfast and drink that morn ing at M. Wood's tally-room. The majority of them were voters—eighteen were committed on the charge of " riotously assembling, and, by violence, preventing divers persons from approaching the busting!. They were all of the very lowest class. Alm the Mayor had resumed his seat, a ruffianhad the audacity to throw a stotie from the court-yard at the hustings. The Mayor's bailiff ordered the constables to seize him ; but, with their usual indifference, they declined making the slightest exertion to apprehend him. He, of course, escaped for time. The body of the dragoons paraded in front of the door to Cobbett's box till twelve o'clock, and kept it open to all voters indiscriminately. The mob assailed them with every kind of abusive language. The old soldiers never returned an answer, but byre their re vilings with the most admirable temper and good humour. At twelve o'clock the general body went to their quarters at the several inns, leaving bat three to maintain order and free access to the hustings. The town was tranquil through the remainder of the day; the polling proc .?ded rapidly, and Capt. Barrie's voters being admitted, as well as Wood's, into Cobbett's tally-box, the Captain regained his lost ground very considerably towards evening. One of the voters, on being asked for whom he would vote, answered, " The two Christians—Mr. Stanley and Captain Barrie."— (Laughter). The psint of this answer depends on the circumstance of Mr. Wood h. ing an Unitarian, and the supposition that Mr. Cobbett is of no religion at all. The Candidates, after re urning from the hustings, edifiet their friends with their boastings of success, and all that empty Rash, nonsense which the barr en invention of the speakers, and the vile taste of their hearers, inflict do election assemblages. Cobbett did not appear on the hustings during the day.

Mr Hunt then thanked the 2: - .9 honest elector who had voted fur him. Here a person in the gallery held out a dead owl decorated with Mr. Ilunt'scolours, and said to Air. Hunt, " Here you are." This produced much laughter. _ . _ Mr. HUNT said, th those who had planned the j.ke either intended him a high compliment. or were very ill read in ancient history.
