Nay to the welfare of both the Bing and the people, as ' I well as to the preservation of the Constitution itself.

Byng bad told the people that they could find no fault with his Portia m .ntary conduct, and he had told them so moat truly, for the Worthy lientleman had always voted in favour of li-forto. Upon an understanding then of Mr. tivng's str. :v adherence to those principles which Mr. Whit tle-I! had so manfully avowed, it was the duty of every inolepeo.lent elector to vote for the one as well as the ool o :-r.—(.1pplatise.)—Ity such a system of voting, he 1,,•^0.1 and trusted that the character of this groat county would he r..selted froou the discredit to which it bad hero sibreete.l by the recant of Mr. Mellish.—(Applause.)— This gonikaisn hail, he perceived, brought forward a charge apoinst Mr. Ilyng,of forming a coalition with Mr. lorea..l. l'ost be would ask what could be more ho nourahle 'hats such a coalition—than that of men enter ing into• a coalition, and making united exertions for the suainincitt of a great public good--for the establishment ofp.tplear freedom? It was the maxim of the common e-r.oey to divide the friends of liberty. It should, en the 'mousey, he the maxim of those friends to unite heart a.• f hand, and without any peculiar menttiny or invidious tob;cc ion, to snake common cause and common effort fur the estahl:sliment of the honest object which all alike I. ail in view.—(Applause.) What, then, could be Man l'otionratile to -All. ilyng, than to hold out his hand to the young stool aisle loan who now offered ee assist &kw. in nutneipating :oti.lollesex front the degraded condition in wtich it had hero' placed, through a coalition of all Coe corrupt interests in the county ?—(Applause.): 7 -It anti he Peculiarly satisfactory to bis mind to coope r sir in 5n...11 a ;tomtit, awl especially from the very c'anly spirit and very promising talent which Mr. Whit displayed niroti this occasion; for such spirit 'ad curls talent helot out the assurance of a 1119141aaaallial Tessinis of strength to 'lose who sought to rescue l'nglanol Irons that g ross horottOnnongering domination , !itch, in some parts of the country, or at least by certain persons in Leicestershire, was deemed the Ouverament. lint he oh nicol that this faction could be considered as the l'ons;:tn:ilonal Ifoverninent of England, for it served to ;wino' all the crystal -rings that were essential to the polity of the l'unstiontion. It was indeed the root that baneful tree, which spread its branches threagh o it the Cosintry, b:iglotiog and destroying every vestige of our anilent freedom and justice which it could cos .rsot eto rem+. Yet Mr. Mellish declared against any r form in the system of this faction. He was truly. be ,i.l, an opponent to radical reform. But this was na• tor3l. Tint I irittlentau mould not have that tree tut ; by the roots, from the fruit of which he sad his t frientP b rn d ri VI•li ass snitch advantage. Bat this tree' was, In' his (Sir Francis's) opinion, se thoroughly rotteti, that , he would not agree to any measure for pfuding if, from whirls it might only derive additional strength:4lnd he n titled 'o extend its roots, m to secure a more ample r.. 11 liereat.er. He would have it reill"Pd alt open the stone ground that say skilful gardener Usi.c. weeds toru up alone bt the roots, 'lsetesd sf ram* ~~ lopping off g part of their growth. With a view to oh tato a reform upon this principle, he hoped that a coali tion would take place between Mr. Hyng and Mr Whit bread, and also Lett% evil the independent electors of .11h1- alters and those of iVestminster, whose example world, he trusted, have a salutary opera . i.on upon the country at large. H. agreed with Mr. ‘l'llitbread that a reh,rtt: should be sought only by constitutional means, and he was coot bowed that Audi ttas the general impression of the Iteformers of En tan I, as be bad no doubt %%mild soon brr.nar et ident, notwithstanding the calumnies so prom-cooly upon that body (alluding, we suppose, to the trial at York). He lamented that lie could nut say so niuch to-day as he could have wished, but be had ~rid enough to shew that he was still the same man that he had been for 39 years, equally anxious for the cause o f Reform, and eiptilly ready to give it all the support in his power. Therefore he would be most happy to assist the popular party in this great rattiest. Hut he was glad to perceive that it needed not his aid. For although Jr. Whitbread originally at I forward without any concert or material consult& ton,the triumph of freedom appeared quite certain through the spontaneous exertion of the people themselves. Hut this tv as not to be womierml at, considering the state of the country--consillering, too, the etiottil upon which Mr. Whitbread stood. lie stood forward with the aid of a great name, deservedly dear to the country, and with the avowal of principles which naturally gave him the highest pretensions to the confidence of those spirited electors. ttho were et hicittly determined to secure his return. Tiir. Hon. Baronet, after declaring that lie thought the trial at la-h•ester ttoohl nor hate the result which s •of his friends ap- II tont that a hatever the resuiT. or ' wi ve% er he might p•r•onallv steer, he was %Ali , eriliz that the principles o liberty were on their mar. D, row hulled with expressing his sot row, that be could not acain at tend this election, as he was sunimoticil as a ivit to the Warwick Assizes, and he took his lea v e ata hist the warmest expressions of the popular regard. After Sir Francis hail finished there was a general roll for Mr. llobliouse. As Mr. Hobhimse, however, was not a freeholder, it was the opinion of Mr. Sheriff Parkins that lie oislat not to he allowed to address the electors.—Accordingly Mr. 11. did not attempt it. The Meeting broke up about six, an.l Mr. Whitbread returned to town with the usual procession, and accom panied a ith increased marks of popular enthusiasm and exultation. Axnum .ISSIZES, Shims I.

The Protestant. Catholic, and Presbyterian, were equal in the eye of the law ; and whether she Protestant, under floe name of an Orangeuian, or the l'atholir, as a Ribbonman, committed a breach of the peace, or at tempted to irritate his neighbour by any allusion to his religion, the-heavy hand of the law should be dealt in equal incase& to each : and his Lordship farther stated, that armed bodies of any description, with or without insignia, no• matter by what name they choose to de signate themselves, who abused any individnal of any offer party, d oit account of a difference in their religions oplidon,iveloPosenspletely out of the pale of the raw, and eestainly came under the provisions of the White-lioy . Act. His Lordship also took a religions view of the distinction el(parties, both professing themselves to be disciples of Visas Christ, when, by their conduct to wards each Other, they showed themselves completely destitute of every principle which emanated from the Divine Being, who gave name to the religion they all professed ; and all those who acted upon such principles were denying their Saviour in fact, and were of all others the worst enemies of the country. His Lordship concluded his charge, by stating to the Jury, that, in his opinion, there was sufficient evidence before them to go to both indictments ; but, after the extensive re capitulation, he did not think it necesssary to trouble them any farther ; and the Jury immediately returned& verdict of Onilry upon both indictments. The Learned JUDO., in passing sentence on the pri meets, stated, that he wished to impress upon their minds, that the law was equally administered to all, and that every man who attempted to form an associa tion for the purpose of injuring or insulting another, on account of his religions opinions, should be punished severely • and that, whether Catholic or Pr o t es t an t, w h o professed to believe in the Christian religion, and fol lowed such practices, they were transgressing its funda mental principles ; and had it been a party of Protest ants, who assembled in a similar manner, to the ter ror of any of his Majesty's snhjects, tile. , should hare been visited with the owe rigour; and that the oppo- site party bad no eameion to make this any matter of Waugh ; fur had they ensiled the prisoners in the same moaner. either by appearing armed, or insultinZ them l on account of religion, they too . inevitably Imm o/ the same punishment.
