Poo .TULY 5 Mr. .Inet again succeeded in asserting his priority in the Ord,t . of • i the crowd assembled before the hustings. As he wet with much interreption, he it• gan by observing that he trusted they had dined. H • 'ad !tia:•:elf taken that preeatition, V6'.l 11 1 ) haste. H e ii i ti t ers t aa d that Sir F. Burdett had that day ..71111rtt 81 votes more than Sir M. Nfax well, h a t ee was still eonsiderabls below that fatuous Whig, Sir S. 1(0811;11v The II at. Bart•ners friends had often told th em, t h at th ey would nsthitte unless they placed him at the head of the mil:. They hal its yet area done nothing, and were hot at the commencement of their wink. This struggle Intl been a neck and neck race, and he expected that on Saturday it would be nose and nose. There w e r e thousands of electors set impelled, and the eleet:un was yet an; body's. (. 1 1 cry of " Except your own.") He beli e v e .' that was true, and that he must except his own case. Lot they would recollect, that in Sodom and Comorrals there were found but two hottest men fit to save the state; now he could show that in Westminster there were SI. He was as pt•ond of his St unsolicited suffrages, as others could be with all the numbers they had been at so much pains to assemble ; and it would be a elisions thing, if in the result it should ap pear that the second votes of his plumpets would have been decisive of the suct•esa of the other caudidates. Mr. Ellis was witting to accept the suggestion of a gentle man near him, and , announce. to them frankly, that the state of Sir M. Maxwell's health was that day better, and the state of the poll considerably worse. Ha was glad to see a spirit of greater pleasantry and good humour prevailing than had always marked the peirs,ress of the election. The contest had been severe, and he hoped it would- be concluded without as perity. Mr. Starrett said, he had the pleasing, ta,k of congratulating them on the success which he had anticipated the preceding day. They had triumphed at cnce over the artifices, the cot nation, and the threats of their adscosaries. He had to com plain not only of the discharge of revenue officers, 'toiler pro mise of restoration to their places in order to qualify them to vote, but of the direct interference of Peels, as well as of oilers of money. Notwithstanding all this, the cause of liberty had advanced with a steady progress. Lord Castle reagh's Captain might now go back to his employer, ard Westminster might reflect with pride that it had chosen for its representatives, two of the best and ablest men that ever in this laud, so tenon tied for its great mem, had maintained the principles of freedom and bliniattity. He felt no resent ment against the gallant Captain t it' there was any of which he was not couscions in his heart, it was against the misera ble dolts who had despatched hint on so hopeless an errand. Mr. Bruce complained of the artifices employed by their enemies, and that even ladies had forgot, on some occasions, the gentleness albeit . sex, and compelled their tradesmen by threats to vote for Sir M. Maxwell. Alt they knew of this officer's politic services flab, that he had taken out Lord Am herst and Mr. Ellis to China, and had also brougnt them back. He had heard of a French army, which, after mareh ing tip a hill, marched down again, and that this was the sub. stance of its exploits. If they laati lost this election, the time might have soon an ived, when a Castles or au Oliver, or any other tool of the Government, would be imposed npou them, He wished well to the cause of Sir S. Romilly, for he respect. ed his charaeterand his hosiourable career, whilst he despised the insinuations of his iniderlings ; but it Witt their duty to place Sir Francis Burden's name at the head of the poll. Mr. Wishart was happy to see the strides by which they were advancing to a complete and splendid victory. Another squally active canvass would put down all opposition, and bring the contest to a close to-morrow. It would be bad taste in him to answer the farrago of calumny and falsehood by which one of the candidates had endeavoured to injure the rause of Sir S. Romilly, who had ever shown Winedf the steady friend 0: retrenchment, economy and reform. Mr. Walker amid Mr• J. 0. Jones fultowed ; and the pro ceedings of this day n ere brought to the close. FRIDAY. At the conclusion of the poll this day, the following num be. s were exhibited . For Sir S. Romilly 5,11, I Por Sir M. Ma5we11...4,608 Sir F. Burdett .4.985 I Mr. Hunt 81 Mr. Hunt first presented himself, and his appearance was the signal of the usual uproar. lle began by alluding, in very coarse terms, to a hoist:whipping scene, which had becu acted on the Lustings that morning, ill which he and Mr. lbwling, of the Ob sPrver office, were the principal performers ; and in which it is com monly sapposed that he had played the part of a setliirer. This he denied, and stated some circumstances relative to tee a ffray. Th e course of his narrative, although he radii cued it by denominating his adrertary * 6 raw head and bloody bones," was interrupted by the :oudest cries of 66 coward, white leather, off, off!" Ile was ready. If any of thuse hissing cowards would come forward. to meet him in e. ring amongst them all. IT they did not give him thir play,. he would stand there till he could obtain it. Ile should nut enter into a story of Sir F. Burdett's refusing to present a petitien of Mr. Bryant to the House of Commons. Mere the interruption v.-as so long and general, that the case of Mr. Bryant, so well known in the ("mit of Chancery, was omitted.) They had been told that he had been horsewhipped that mornipg ; they saw him now, and mild see whether he then: any marks .of such a castigation. Mr. Dowling, Yuwever, who had laid a whip over his head whiht his back was tuned, had received fr.nn his brother and himself what he would cary with him to his grave. He would new read thew a letter fmin Mr. Cleary to himself, with regard to this same Mr. Dowling and which they would receive with that degree of belief that belonged to tie evidence of one Hellman against another. This letter. which was ted October. v - as in substance as follows t--••• That he. Mr. leary, understood from Mr. Finnerty, on the authority of pawns who had heard them. that Mr. Dowling had used threats that he would horsewhip Mr. Hunt whenever he should meet him. That 1:r. Dowling had also added, that it was the knowledge of his inten ticae which Cad kept Mr. Hunt from atteadiag a I 'mutton hall in tile city of London. (In the midst of the uproar which followed the Tending of the letter, a suck was thrown at 31r. !JUJU, who observed, tut it could only conic from some Irish bully., Had Mr. Cleary new become the brother bravo of Mr. Dowling? Ile himself had been called a spy of the Government. if he was so, it was strange that he should have incurred the entity of another spy, and it was still stranger that he was the man who gave evidence on the trial of Dr. Watsen, against the apnts of Gmernment, among whom was Mr. Dowling. (Here 31r. Hunt read aeother letter, which, he said, was one written by Castles to Lord r;ridniouth, for money to enable `tins to redeem his wearing apparel frutu the pawnbrokce'sd The mairffier of his speeet conststed of a challenge to the friends of !Sir F. Barden, to point out what he had ever done fur the people, or a hat he was likely, or had promised to do, and terminated by a solemn assurance that he would at letot be a spy on the conduct of the Honourable Baronet, and wherever he appeared, be there ',tr. Ellis said, the number of suffrages given for Sir M. Maxwell tally acquitted him of the c!.arge of p resum ntion in ensuing forward to claim th e ir judgment respecting hint. Sir Murray Maxwell would .onsider it to be the proudest eircionstunce in his life, whether ulti tAately successful or not, that so many of the electors of Westinin 'ter had honoured hint with their COWL No greater tribute could :Jaye been paid to the integrity of his char ecter„ than the respectable rapport which he bad acAnd. The found lzhauells if it should be- THE NATIONAL REGISTER. long to the other side, would be witnessed without any asperity of feeling or. tiwirs. Mr. Stench, in a short but animated speech, exhorted them to renewed efforts on the succeeding day, not for the purpose of victory, which was already theirs, but for that of renderilig it illustrious and complete. Mr. Wishart returned thanks or. the part of Sir S. Romilly's friends, and mentioned his hope.; cf meeting them an those hustings again, at the cud of the next three years. Mr. Cleary stated as a fact, that a foreign ambassador, the repre sentative of a despotic govetnmenr, had been engaged, togetler with his lady, in actively soliciting votes for Sir M. Maxwell. (Cries of " erne, name.") Ile could rct, in common discretion, comply with this call, but had no doubt it would be canvaesed in the proper plaLe. As Mr. Hunt had thought proper to read a private letter written by hint, (Mr. Cleary) with a friendly feeling towards himself he might he allowed to read a letter from Mr. Cobbeta respecting this firebrand among freemen. Mr. Hunt now stepped tbrward, and seemed for some time deter mined to prevent, by means of the clangour which this act produced, the reading of the letter, but was at compelled to retire. The letter, which was addressed to Mr. Cleary, was dated the loth of Ail, How, and contained the following expressions :—" All the gentlemen whom I have seen are loud in their praises of Sir Francis Burdett; his late motion on the cashiering of officers has procured him many valuable friends. It will be impossible for the two factions by any calumny to injure our cause, provided we take cure to prevent men of bad character front mixing wall us. There is one Hunt, a Bristol man,. who rides about the country with a the wife of another man, having; deserted his own he is. a sad fellow, have no. thing to do with }m." At the conclusion of the letter were the wurds, 6 , I repeat it, beware of 11 tint." The shouts of laughter, accompaMed by hissing and outcries of every description, which now liroke from the multitude, appeared to demouhtrate one universal sentiment, which was still more unequivo cally expressed by Mr. Clearv's adoption of Mr. llunt's mode of ascertaining the feelings of his friends. The waving of his hat was a signal obeyed :n all quarters of the prodigious crowd which was assembled, at.d left nu doubt cf the impre,sive elects of Cobbett's epistle. Mr. G. douse followed as a matter of course:. iNDEPENDFNCE AND POUT% or this head the o.:ford herald gives the following article of intelli gence .—" Mr. E.

Mr. Arnatt, however, voted fur Mr. Lockhart, and soon after received the following notice : ' Mr. E.

Setiewnete OFF TUC ISLAND or Cnusic.s.—Extract from 71re Mulls Gii2rile.—" The ship Costanee, Captein Maino, lately arrived at this port from Leghorn, has brought several passengers, who had the misfortune to be shipwrecked a short time since on the coast of Corsica, while on board of a French homharde ; and among the number we are happy to announce the arrival of two ladies, passengers, Mr. and Miss Reinard, whose distresssing situation on the above occasion may be inure readily imagined than described. They are in debted for their lives solely to the gallant and humane ex ertions of Captain Wyatt, of the Royal Navy. When the vessel first struck, the ladies were below ire, ;hell . cehin, and betbre they had time to get on deck, she struck a second time, when, every ouc alarmed, thinking only on individual safety, the two ladies weirs left in this perilous state helms ; on their, howeeer,at last reaching the deck, will, great ditlienliy, they found the vessel deserted, mud themselvee left helpless bellied, their awful pretheastient was no sooner perceived by tl'e generous spirited Capt./ inWyatt, than, regardless et* personal sakty, he immediately threw himself amongst the turbulent waves, and swam to their assistance, and, after the greatest exertions and perseverance, succeeded in his latidalde, though hazardous undertaking, by couveyiug the two ladies iu safety to the shore." By a vessel recently arrived from New South Wale', pa pers have been received up to the end of December last. — The colony emitinned to be in a flourishing conditiou, and considerable exports of flue wool have been already ma le, and will probably be notch increased in the course of a few seasons. The Sydney Gazette of the 11th of October, girls an interesting account of the discoveries lately made in the interior of New Holland, by the Surveyor General, Mr. Ox ley. Another expedition was about to depart, under the direction of the same Gentleman, fur the purpose of tracing the course of the Marin:ale river; which, from its size and appearance, promises to become of the first importance to the colony. The increase in the colony of cultivation and live stock, from the end of 1813, to the end a 1815, has been in acres cultivated 3,756, pasture 46,015, horses and mules 4.;7, and sheep 3,706. From 1600 to 1815, or in 15 years, the increase of stock was surprising, being from 163 horses, their highest number for the first 12 years, to 2,3::8, from 1,911 horned cattle, to 25,e79, and from 6,121 sheep to 62, , 176, without taking into the account the immense quantities of cattle aunually killed for the supply of his Majesty's stores and the general consumption. The climate cf the colony being found particularly favourable to the silk-worm, means are adopting for rearing it to some extent. Thursday evening, a little after six o'clock, the doors of Covent Garden Theatre opening for the Mods ;ion of the audience, Ate Rowe, the principal cites:kb:l;er a the two shilling gallery, whAe stationed in his place, suddenly dropped from his seat, and instantly expired. AT AI. Boxtsro.—An inquest was held at the sign of the Hare and Hounds, at Claygate, in Surrey, on the body a C. Smith, of Thames Ditton, who died in consequence of a pugilistic encounter with .1.

The parties with others, were drinking together ; but having become quarrelsome in their cups, west out on a green in trout of the house to determine their diflerence ; when, after fighting 15 rounds., the deceased was thrown violently, and his antagonist fell on him. They were lifted up; when the deceased declined any further contest, old soon after aas seized with violent vomiting, and was taken home mat died the next day. Mr. Neville, e surgeon of Esher, deposed, that on opening the hotly he found a violent inlammation of the bowels, sufficient to pro duce dead* which infiamma den migthsvc been produmil by the hard pressure of a blow.

The continuance of hot weather, through the month, il.ll forced the different crops of grain, so that an early hal -t may be looked fur. On cool free growing soils this ma) found beneficial; but a large extent, not only of light, to , also of heavy land, hurt by the chilli ng ra i ns in the-Spriug, as now deprived of vegetation by the drought, so as not to promise even a return of the seed that was sown. The late sown Balky and Oats have suffered most. Beans and Peas are partially good in most districts. The young Closets which planted well, arc much burnt up where the spring corn is thin. Turnip husbandry is thrown very backward iu most parts, from the want of rain ; so that Swedes cannot be got in so generally as was expected from the lateness of the season. The Hay Inr. been got up in good condition in most counties, but the pi oducc will not exceed half an average crop. Potatoes, though not so abundantly as last year, pro• mite to be finer in quality. The !lop plantations of Kent and Sussex, have shown an increase to fly within the last ten days, and in some of the principle ones the homy-dew has recently appeared. The grata lands in some districts arc burnt up, NJ as to Wind little prospect of feed. The Wool market is brisk : long Wool reaching As. and Southdown fleeces 7us. per toil. Smithfield has had a reduction of prices for most articles front the heat of the weather, and the Cattle fairs have expo ienct d a declension of all Lean Stock, except Sheep, from the great scarcity of feed. Good cart Colts :II e scarce and fetch more money, but ordinary horses of most kiuds are nearly unsaleable. ANECDOTF..—A gentleman passing Lymington church, whirr under repair, observed to one of the workmen, that h tAntsg.it it would be an expensive job. .4 Why, rah" replied he, .• in my opinion we shall accomplish what our Rev. Divine has endeavoured to do for the last 30 years, but in vain—bring all the parish to re pentance!" On Monday se'nnight, a person, stating himself to be a Mr. Har vey, a son of Admiral Harvey, arrived at Wilin's Hotel, Falmouth, in his carriage, attended by two servants, one in livery, and the other said to be the butcher belonging to the family. immediately on his arrival he made inquiry for a vessel to proceed to France, and finding one which was chartered by Mr. F. S. Symons, about to sail for Noirmoutier, he took his passage and sailed early on Tuesday morn ing. Previous to his sailing, he said, that he had come from Lon don as a candidate for the borough of Grampound, but being too late, he was anxious to proceed to France. Early on Wednesday morning a person from the EiAteard bank, reached Fahnoutli pursuit of the fugitive, who, it seems, had succeeded in obtaining a considerable sum from that house, on producing forged documents, and giving a draft on Admiral Harvey. It understood that several other hanks in this county and Devonshire, have also been defrauded ; so that the swindler has escaped with a full purse. As the wind was favourable throughlthe whole of Tuesday, the successful depredator has, no doubt, reached the French coast. A few day- ago a considerable party of farmers and others went out in two boat..., :won the river 11 yre. to fish ; they agreed to snip a race, when untbrtudutely the men in one of the boats, not only crowded too touch sail, but also in order to lighten the vessel, threw out a good deal of ballast; when a squall of whit' upset her iti deep place with a strong ebbing tide, and suddenly went down wilt every one on hoard. 1 bus perished, through their own imprudent..., six respectable men, several ui whom have left (implies to deplore their loss. The names of the sutferers were Hawnsoa, Bradley, Croft, Captain I bziienson, Lord (of Willing), and l.ongworth, farrier, of Gartiang. Only two of the bodies had been picked up on • Sunday. Thursday a grocer and tea-dealer, at Bank-top, Manchester, was fined in a mitigated penalty of 351. for having in his possession seven pounds of imitation tea. Also another in;the sante neighbourhood, 161. hits. for having in his possession duce pounds four ounces of a sintilar spurious commodity—Several publicans were compelled to submit to the seizure of various en:unities of foreign spirits, fur being found under the strength required by the Excise 141 w. 04 Thursday se'nnight, during an electioneering outrage in York, Mr. Kirk was crossing Cemey.street, when a stone weighing three pounds and a half winch had been thrown with fruit violence stru....k hint on the head, and caused his &nth in the course of the night...— Some other ruffians sent an annonymous letter to Sir M.
