" The Cause for 'Aids HAMPDEN fell in the Field, end SYDNEY died on the Seafold!" to his feelings, and so worthy of the efforts which had previously been made in his favour. (Loud acclamations.) The Loup MAYOR briefly returned thanks for the sap pout he hail received, and trusted that his friends would not rola: in their exertions. The race was an 'Moons owe, vet he hoped that, whoever was successful, there woohl he no ill-humour against him for winning. This short address was very favourably r et Jiied by the as se ldsly. ly. Mr. Alderman THORP said, that though he was not in the situation he could have wished, still he felt very grateful for the support given to him, when he consi dered that so small a number of the electors hail vet .polled. 'llsere were still inure than 5,01111 to give their suffrages, and calculating on his previous success, hr es timated. that even one hour's voting would be enough ..to crown his ambition.—(Load cheers, and cries of anpport you.")—No one would doubt this fact wleiha3 Witnessed the spirited exertions 'bade fee him in the las: election. Ile would not despair even up to the last moment. His friends were beyond the reach of influence, and now that the election for the Borough had terminated, many of them would rally round these hust ings, to assert that cause in which he was engaged, in on with them, and all the other friends of li berly.—(Fothusiastic cheers.)—He had now only to request the presence of his numerous friends in the seine kind exertions as hitherto, and to thank them omit cordially for all they had already done fur him. Mr. Alderman %V AITUM•N then ailv.inced to the front of the tonsil:lgs, amidst loud cheering. lie said, that fur their sakes, as well as for his own, it was not his in tention to detain them that evening at so much length as he 1s I done on the preceding one. Ile had bail no cause o hatever to alter his opinions since. He did think, considering all the circumstances connected with the contest, that the state of the poll this slay was a mat ter of triumph to himself and to his frietiels.—(Cheers.) —lle stated to them, then, that it was obvious that Slue contest was directed principally against himself. lie stated wit it was a fart—a fart that any man might ascer tain were hr to stand upon these hustings but for a sin gle hour. fle could prove that inthienee had been used, not only to compel voters to come up to vote contrary to their own political opinions, and to the conviction of their own satinets, but that it hail been nsed—that an in junctioet—Were there Was Mlle interruption from a person who stood near Mr. iVaithman on the hustings.) —He was glad of this interruption, because it proved that he spoke facts, which the individual oho hissed could not oppose in any other manlier. It would out, however, disconcert him, and he felt rather gratified at it than otherwise. lie was about to say, that not only had undue influence been used, but also an itijnimtion laid upon particular individuals that they shouid not vote fur him—Were souse hisses were again heard.) — Ile stood, it was true, nailer all the other candidates on the poll, bat the reason was obvious, an I he still had the fullest confieleuce is the exertions of his friends.— Like hies worthy Friend wise had recently addressed them, he hail no wish to form reserves, nor Lad he pre ctri!risoa list he was sorry to say, that row, as upon* nettaslot, his Mends had made a resew, of them selves by hanging back—a reserve, as it proved Noon the last election, of 400 votes. lie had assurance's of support from many of those individuals, and was confi dent in his strength; and yet more so, when they saw, notwithstanding all the exertions that their aiversaries hail usell- s -notwitlistanding all their efforts, among all their friends—the highest her on this day's poll was near OW less than that of the corresminiling tour first days of the last election. In order to inspire them with greater confidence, lie would state, that from an in spection of the names, he found that wore of those bail polled who were hostile to I' than of those who bad promised their support. He knew Isis friends held hack till the close of the poll, hut as the election must close on Tuesday, delay was dangerous, and it would be ius pqssible to poll iu sufficient untidiers to secure his return if they did not take advantage of every hour that yet re mained. He had no means of influencing the minds of be electors, nor could lie bring them to the hustings to Ow their reluctant and compulsive votes.—(Cheers.) — Lot the Livery consider, that if they discarded the man who opposed the laying on of 3,000,000/. of fresh taxes; the man also presented petitions against abuses; the man who, upon all occasions, was willing and really to vindicate the rights of the people ; let them consider, that if they abandoned such a wan, they had no right to eoroplain of any measures, however hostile to freedom, which a more tractable candidate was prepared to sup port.—(Acclaination.)--It was said, that it was found convenient to dissolve the late Parliament at so early a period, with a view to propose, in the new one, an in crease to the Civil List of half a million. This was done merely to promote the ends of bribery and corruption, without one single good art for the public, or even one advantage to the 3lonarch. If the Livery of Lon hits, and to them the eyes of the enlightened world were aim timed, were to send into Parliaineut such men as would support the vote of Ministers, they might fur ever bid farewel to any further pretensions to liberty. The Worthy Aldertnan concluded by calling upon the Liver) to rouse forward, and manfully, fairly, and honestly, to enert their elective franchise. Tho Hall deco adjourned. WESTMINSTER ELECTION. The polling polling was rather slow elnring the whole of this day. At four o'rlw•k the nunibers werr as follow: Blr F. RVIIIII TT J. C. Itonnot E. The lion. LAII a The exhibition of these numbers excited long and continued acclamations. The appearance of these individuals on the hustings, displayed strikingly the difference between popularity and hatred. The two former candidates were greeted with every demonstration of attachment and favour, while that of the other was assailed by hooting., whist ling, and every species of contempt. Ste F. BURDETT stepped forward amidst loud cheer ing. The lion. Baronet, who laboured under the effects of great cold, began by saying, that he feared he should sot be able to get through the few observations which it was his duty to make to them. He congratulated them and the electors of Westminster at large, on the trium phant station which they had maintained on that day's poll, and whirls he believed was usiesampled in favour of a popular condidate during the few first days of an election. la general, the candidates who stood upon popular prin ciples had the disadvantage of not being able to move the eJectors to conie forward and exlilhit their strength during the two or three first 'lays of an election, and therefore it happened that up to a certain time at least, the Ministerial candidate had the superiority in appear ance. lint upon the present occasion, the eleitors of Westminster were awakened—their spirit was aroused, ;nd they were determined to set the question for ever at GENER.II, ELErno,v.

Ile observed, that there was a difference of tIOU votes in the poll of the highest candidate than he I self had polle.l on the fourth day of the last election.

When he applied to an elector for his vote, and met with a refusal, he said, .4 Why do you refuse use I.'"f Ise answer was, " I have no objection whatever to you, but to your politics " This was always sufficient for him (Mr. Alderman Wood), and he never repeated the request.—(Clieers.)— In all his d..alinrs. little or great, it should newer be said that he wou ld deny his custom to any tradesman, merely beealse lie could not obtain his vote.—(loch applause.)—He had already said, that it was immaterial to him, so far as the discharge of his duty was con cerned, whether he stood first on the poll, or had only the fourth place ; yet he had no doubt that it required only the seal of his friends to rise him again to the enviable sta tion which he held in the first instance. Let them use every exertion, so far as mig,lat he done by simple solici tation, and the resu lt, he was persuaded, would be, that by tomorrow he should be in dist situation so grateful Paws SEVEN Pis, rest, by carrying it with a high lased at the preeret *teethe., and sbowieg that demneleation id defence of rous h ttied ab leposi taisa tios allog he tibo the u r red iroes eadet public principle which hal ever disdagoished them.— ( be ad dressing'l P ero l a d e . .) perha ps them, had he not seen a most important statement in a sp eech, perpeetieg to be that of Mr. Lamb, reported in that Parz ra which was more par ticularly devoted to M r . b's party. That gen tleman was represented as stating, that it was only on a breach of cordideect that as oppertanity was obtained of reading. a private letter mitten by him. No won:ler, indeed, that Mr. Lamb should have bees somewhat net- - tied to dad that such a lettere. that produced yesterday, should have met the public eye, considering that he nail all along making professions so inconsistent with it.— ' (Load applause and laughter.)—Bet indeed it was great mistake, to charge a brush of centidenee on I who had brought forward this letter.—(So it is).—lt did appear to hint of SOW importance fur the electors of Westminster to consider how inconsistently sect these two characters; the mu who proffered the baud of private friendship to Mr. Hobbouse—who wore tit. mask of liberality—who preached up the necessity td observing a Figottkmanly civility sad decorum during all the political warfare of an election—and the man who penned sack a letter as that rend yesterday upoa these Hustings.—(Applause.)—The detection of such :et inconsistencs was sufficient to ruin a better cause than even that or Mr. Lamb's. But this robe of candour which Mr. lamb had assumed, was by accident lifted up, and there appeared underneath nothing but filthy dowlass. —(.lpplause and mach laughter.) —ln the course of his speech yesterday, the gentleman bad ap plied to hi m a passage out of Shakespeare. They could hardly do better titan quota passage fur pkasage. It would prove rather an amusing commerce. That, Iwo - ever, of llr. Lamb was wholly inapplicable, except in the name— " 0 Cassius, you are Totted with a Lamer —(Laughter.i As to the word Cassias (continued Sir Francis) he felt honoured on its being applied to himself, for he was one of the greatest men that the greatest people on earth ever produced, and was styled "the last of the Romans. - -nut hr was coniklent, that as long as there were per sons in England. who, like his friend (Mr. Hobhousel were prepared to act u Englishmen should do, he would never he in a situation to be called " the last of F.nglishesen."—(Applatise.)--Bet this he would say, that if the maintenance of the rights and liberties, the prit Beefs and immunities of the people of F.nglan.l. alone, was to call for the sacrifice of his life—he might, and he would, tinder those circumstances, if no one else stood forward, deserve the application of the name which the Hon. Gentleman had made, and prove that be was worthy, in future, of the distinction which the great Homan bad obtained, by actin as would become " the last of the Englishmen!" Cheering.)—llnt, thank Hod! this country was n o t ► aced to sp nielaneholy .t condition, and he had no chance of being' 'tiller the last or the first of the Englishmen, since there were mill' ready amoi five -u vlst44 the eletehrwr etairginvilv•••- - (ApOilise.)—With respect to being " yoked to a Lamb,' —(Laughter.)—it was very true, that, at the last return for Westminster, he had the misfortune to be coked to Mr. Lamb; but, on this occasion, they would return a man ! a man who would maintain their rights—a man who would not hold one set of sentiments in one place. and another in another place—a man who would not give a different colouring to his sentiments and principle., just as it suited his convenience—a man who would iict solicit the assistance of a great contractor. (11r. health, here denied that the person alluded to was a contractor.) He (Sir Francis Burdett) did not know that be was a contractor. He dial not know to whom the letter 14'.14 addressed. lint he meant to speak of one who was :le upholder of that system which the independent elerto.s endeavoured to rontroel—of one who was the res u lted, determined supporter of corruption in the House et Commons, as it now existed. When he spoke of a co.t tractor, he alluded to him who had been one of the n.,.• inveterate supporters of Sir Murray Maxwell when Ito was a candidate, which he considered to be I eery W.: criterion of the principles of persons who gelpkthelr votes on this occasion. Get not the lion. liefteuel, therefore, think that he applied the term contractor in its litres! sense. Ile applied it to one who assisted Go vernment ander all circumstances. lie thought, to psi ply it to such • (wrson required different sentiment., feelings, and opinions—different grounds, •114 a very different manner, from those which the Hon. Gentleman had manifested in his appeals to the electors.—(.lp plaese.)—Again, to speak of being " yoked to a !amt . )," it appeared to him to be "a full-grown sheep' (langhter)—oe, to speak more correctly, it rather ap peared to he " a wolf in sheep's elething."—(laughter.) —But, be it what it might, sure he was that it was not lit to represent anal to express the sentiments, feelings, and principles of the independent electors of Westiniii ster. If the lion. Gentleman could hope for success oil this occasion he must, when he was sinking, seek for aid from other quarters. He must cry out to the Minis terial faction, " Help me, Cassius! eel sink !"—{Laughter.) The Gentleman could hardly delight him more than l‘y giving him this opportuilty of quo:ing from that immor tal poet, whose works he 90 much admired. In rir silence, therefore, of the clue given by Mr. Lamb. to should live another quotation. li'llen a into' was in stigating another to do a Wee action, the following would he a very appropriate address to bitn— Tu beguile the time, Look like the time: bear weircine in your eye, Your hand, your tongue: look like the In.locent 11. w cr, But be the serpent under 't." (Laughter and elseering.)—With respect Its the lc:tor which was made such matter of complaint, the tvirthy gentleman could not tall it a bread; of cortlidence. Ho had no power or right to exact confidence frola the Ocntleman to whom it was written. It was P mere canvassing letter, tending only to hoax the per4an to whom it was addressed, into a notion, that he (Mr. lamb) supported very different principles from those which had been publicly attributed to him. Now, tti.63 the subject of this supposed breach of confidence, he would put a case. The gentleman was a lawyer, thoukla not a very old or an experienced one; and, as to his knowledge of history, it was to be presumed that he hail not read farther than the period of Queen Elizabeth, from the circumstance of his having confounded tl.e time in which she lived with that of Fortescue. An I here be would beg to correct a notion whicii Mr. Lam, hail made some use of, namely, that he had spoken disrespectfully of the old lawyers. He denied the in.- patation. On the contrary,. he always tkonght th .t there was no clam of persons to Whom the cotlutev , 114 4 more indebted, than to the old lawyers. did he mean to etteed his disapprobation of lam - yers to all modern lawyers, even those in ' l ,l House of Commons; he 'knew many of them, who, ~, %kr?
