JU NIP, 91 for I see Itunda eds of pretty girls pressing forward to hear what I have to say. One of the proudest privileges of an Englishman is to stand forward on an occasion like this and solicit the favour of his countrymen. I feel that lam now standing on the hoardsfrom which a Rodney, a HooteaGard ner, and last, thoueb not least in your estimation, a Cochrane, Lave foe needy met with your kind attention and respect.— Yon have loug been accustomed to select one of your repre. sentatives from the referee:en to which' I hive the honour to belong. Of the 30$ days in the year, perhape no one could be more auspicious for a British officer's appeal to his eosin tryinen than the present, the anniversary of the ever meinora. ble heitle of Waterloo. That victor/ was achieved, indeed, bye service in which I am not engaged, but I have no slesibt that marry of you whit hear me participated in its dangers and its glories. There is a natural interest, hnwever, taken in inch triumphs by that branch of tee pulslie service uhiels succeeded at the Nile, Copenhagen, and Trafalgar. One word more before I conclude. One gentleman has thought proper to tell yon far whom yon might not to vote, and this person is himself the representative of an absent candidate, I appear in person before you, 'AI humble candidate for your auffreges,aud presume not to direct your choice with regard , to another. I turn myself wholly to you ; I throw myself Into th e midst of you. (Here Cept. Maxwell was sainted with a considerable quantity of dirt, which bespattered all those around him.) I have often received shot from my enemies ; this is the first time I have ever received them from my friends. It has been suggested to are that every other candi date has sported his peculiar colours; the custom has not been overlooked by me, and you see them above you, the Union Jack. of Old England. My colours are not planted where the seeds of disorder and confusion flourish, they are planted, I trust, io the hearts of the elector. of Westminster. Mr. Harley next stepped forward in support of Mr. Hunt. Great confusion prevailed tbrotuirout the course of this gen tleman's sierra, width prevented our being able to hear distinctly what he said. Mr. Gale Jones said, lie was anxious on so important an occasion, when Englishmen were assembled to appoint a representative, to state fairly to them the object of their efforts. Mr. Hunt's friends were not pressed men; they . were voltintetrs in his cause, and th-y were willing to slime the abuse which had been poured forth upon that injured Individual; they woeie not suffer him to be run down. Ofhis opponents, some of them professed the same principle:,, but where were those gentlemen? Of the Court candidate, he was sure the electors . f Westminster would beware , it was their duty to attend to principles : if that duty had been perfermed, the ruinone system whieh hail been pursued would rot have gained ground. It might be trite that Sir Setnnel Romilly was nn excelletet man ; but private character was no recommentlatiou there; his friends had done ss song to advire lam to otter himself for Wesesisinster, when he conk, have been elected elsewhere without injury to the cause of free.. dom. Mr. fisint.—" After the address yore have just heat d, I have only to represent myself to you as au honest determined En. glisliman. I wish not to obtain your votes by coming in under any man's wing; the gallant officer end ne,sell are the only real candidates, the rest are ashamed to show their faces, because they know that they emeld meet with your deep ro• b trio::. The gallant officer has manfelly appeared in person, an I had a right to expert your atteintou, although Ins polities are known, and although lie be a friend to the despotism welch ensley es you. With regard to Sir S. Romilly, I mean to say nothing against him ; but ire is $1111) of his seat ill the den of eorrept ice, let 'rim therefore go ha' k to Iris friend the Duke of Norfolk, and the rotten borough of Ainnelel. I would say a few words respecting Sir Francis Burdett; but no, Geatlemen, no, I see yon understand him as well as I do. (Cries of " Give it to him well, limit.") Ile may be entailed " The Here of the beck door of the Tower." and has fallen below our notice. The editor of the Courier said a little while ago, that I deserved to be sent to the Tower. The Towel, getilleillPll, has no terrors for me ; but if I shonlil go it/el e, i pi eiltilSir yin I will never sue ak ma at the back door. Eleven yours ago Sir T. Burdett pledged himself to his con stituent., to exert all his endeavours to tear out the aecersed leaves of the infionuits red book. Has he ever succeeded in tearing out a single teat; or even in eresing a single mune or pension? Now with your assistance. and although o u t h i Parliament, I have by petition caused the Marquis of Camden to resign hisenormetis and disgraceful salary. If you return nre,l will attempt munch more, trod, if well supported, doubt not of emcees,. The Hselt ilaitiffilien stepped forward, and culled upon die electors to dear e. by a shoes of Item's, which of the gentle men who had hero nominated, they chose to be their represen tative in the Commons House of Yerliesnent. The wines o f the different est:l4ll,l.de* le big then successively called over, and a show of hands taken on ear+, the High Bailiff declared that time election had teams upon Sir S. Hostility and Henry Hunt, EN. A pull was then demanded for the other candidates, and lite Hiali Ballittaitinninced that after the lapse of an hour, to allow the to eessary preparatiuns to be made, the polling would commence. At one o'clock the poll began. and continued till four. The crowd immediately in frose of the hustings soon showed grectanxiety to know the result. In the mean thole they too:nosed theneeives by throwing stkks and mud at Sir M. Maxwell, she kept respectfully bowing in serum. Some lined substance happened to be thrown from the outskirts awe crowd, witieli unforteeately hit the gallant and 'weavers candidate above the right eye, and oexassioned much pain, and a momentary retreat. Very F oteral and strong reprobaoon Was expresed at this outrage. Capraut Maxwell soon stepped torwaid en the advanced railing, bowed three t:• .1.- , , and thee came bete% w his former station.

At about half past nine o'clock. Mr. Princep. the Iligh Bailiff; appeared on the hustings prepared in the front of the Town Hall for ea: rying on this election, and was sworn in. He then addressed the electors, and recommended order and regularity in their plectra ings. Mr. S; Davis then came forward. lie said he hoped they would lend him their attention to the few words with whined he should trou ble them. When Mr. Calvert had been °Wend in laiio 7, he had h-.,11 told that it was a bully, and they would not poll :vuo voters. The fact, however, was cherwise. Instead of ,s;iio, they %cry :.oun get 1634, though they did nut come till the eleventh hour. Tilts had given the death blow to the high party in the Borough. It was scarcely ne cessary for Mai to enter into a detailof the conduct pursued by Mr. Calves, since he had become a representative of Southrark. His opposition to the Corn Bill would be recollected be many with pka. sure. On that octaision he had been one of six in'a minority against it. It was a bill intended to deprive the poor oftliat luxury,to than the greatest—of procuring a cheap quarters loaf. The next thing to which he should alltMe was the suspension of the Ha'oe.r; Ccrpua Act. There Mr. Caivert would be again found an opponent to Mi nisters; and in like manner on the question of the Indemnity Bill. he would he discovered in his place in the rank.; of opposition.

Atte!. wards, wool lie found, mid the Ministers found, that the people would be no longer nunibusg,d, they felt it nei:essary to repeal the SuJpensitin Act ; and then reflecting on what they had been guilty of, and feeling that th,y had overstepped the powers whit wh en they had seen entrusted, they hat! brouglit in the indemnity Bill.

It proved that 1 t.; parliamentary conduct had not met with the disapprobation of h:s; constituents ; for, though numb superior on the end of the ft rend M.N.'s poll on the last election, his superiority ou the proton was considerably augincnted.
