Considerable cheering from an immense c,owd, who had been collected round the hosting. the whole day, greeted those who rutted for toe popnlar candidates ; while the partizans of the other, as well as hintwelf, were treated with every mark of die-, aeproleation and tioutempt. In fact, the hooting, the ;ion ling, the whistling, the bleating, which to certain tones resembled a flock of sheep, was astounding, at the same time highly ludicrous. At the close for the day, the neuthere stood thus : ten F. ftts RD , re Mr. Huanut , bl. Hon. U. Idols. Mir FRANCIS presented himself amidst loud clapping 'I and sowers. Ile sago lie addressed them this day with , more satisfactions than he did yesterday, though their potation ou the pull was not so great as he expected. At one same time they hid nothing to do but to go on in the saute roarer, sod there %mild be no doubt of final sreciris.—(Applause.)—eroui the begriming he hail an ticipateil victory, and lie would be greatly disappointed indeed if they bad nut the must decided success. Mr. ' Lamb supposed that be spoke yesterday ul sentiments a inch be Lad not telt, and that lie had terrain means of kiwering he (Sir t'.) was in fact itioappointed. It was not his wish to bolo out feler or di:feting hopes, either env:ours/le his triensls or sink the spirits of his oppse ' t outs. What lie really felt at the time, he spoke. They I ail knew bow bard it was in inch a populous place as Westminster, to say at what precise time it vomitl be rise nottenteme of all his friends, consistent anis their :enteral trashes sod occupations, to rouse forward and give ' sisal support a bkh he haul 11.11 A 411111111 of receiving.— ! (Oravo.)—One thing gave him great satisf a ction. A s Le stood yesterday upon the Inistines, he felt something Oar compunction at tucking sissy alias's lts 3k. Lamb, t.lso was like a fallen candid sty surrounded on all sides, iel encompassed by slistre.sing and emba Aug cit e must:incest : but it sersisele be ti as entirely mistaken as to low effect of thew uputs his opponent, whu, instead of I ananlcring then, as misfortunes, said it a as prosperity. If each like circtriesstancea had happened to hies, they would unpleasant and ilisagreealsle ; hut to Mr. Limb, it 'vas a situation of 'tope, joy, anti eistmolation.—(Lheent.) --What would have plunged ordinary mete into despair, :alined up Mr. Lamb to higher regions of expectation and success.—(Shouts of opplause.)--The Honunrable Ileettleman, so snceessfid in writing, speaking, and act ing, ti as peculiarly tutfortimate. lie was 11111 . 111411*Aie IS his friends—he was unfortunate in his cause—he was unfortunate in his commies. having the independent elec tors of Westminster tur Isis enemies. Ile hail been on tertunate in hating his fat-sedation,' in a theatre bard-hy. lay the way, he hopes' the lion lientlemau did nut mesa to coati:me the rarer on these loo.sr•Is much longer; if it WM damned at the Theatre, it moult' be doubly slime e bere.—(Langliter.)-31r. Lamb aunld begin with a Vetter, but, it appeared tsi him. he aunlil end in a Trio , }edy. Lis was altering the antler of things, it was tote. 31r. Lamb kept tip his spirits wonderfully; lie I unlit look upon a rainbow of hope, and the inure dark the surrounding ennuis appeared to those about him, tiro brighter the rainbow appeared to I . —(Applause.) - -In has last speech, Mr. Land, said, but lie dial nut mean to lay mark merits upon it (for Mr. Lamb soften 'slid what he did not wean), but it was met for bus words hat the torn of his argitmeut, that he (Sir F.) quarrel ]el with him. Mr. Lamb said, that his (Sir F.'s) object c.nes not to reform the Cunstitution, but to take it as it then was." This was not precisely what lie slid • sy, fur the addition of three three little words, " as it te," altered the whole sense of the passage. The • 17apintitittiun he was /triennia for, was not one a hich a tor : opt blouse of Commons could alter or destroy, but that i_olunitotion tt hich mss founded on the threat Charter, awl in defence ut which oar ancestors hail shell their lima It was that Constitution which declared that so. sass property W. 1.1 to be taken from him its the time of I:buries L. and which was afterwaras asserted at the irevolottiun when the Stuarts were driven out for not ad ' ering to it. This was the Conetitutiou lie wished for ; I. ot Mr. Lamb. added to his other anishortuttes, eat not -tunate enough to understated bint.—(Latighing.)— Every one must have had souse correspondence with unr ; , iiou is as an unfortunate geutlenian. Ile had often re • tivell many letters, which, after stating a variety of 1 • reumAtances, described the unfortunate gentleman as possessing vast and utilitatindeil benevolence to all inen nd, and gave assurance that lie would do great good, is not stinted of your small boon. Hr never could ascer tain who this unfortunate gentlemau W" and whether )• now knew he voids' nut say —(much laughter); lint a more unfortunate gentleman than lie alto stood with t . .eru on the hustings could not be Found in all England. It It what was the Constitution ? mid .t he compered to a nosegay, consisttug of 1.361/11S flowers, roars, !dies, j.:itainines, carnations. But if one purloin the dowers, and filled up their place with stinging settles and bramble", and then held it up to your nostrils, asks t‘ if you were not much okliKlstrol with it, would tory think that fair ur right ? (threat cheeritee.)— 'sloe Constitution ut Log land was fotitsiled on nature, sanetiorted by eternal justice. It said, that the eels t of a cuttistry, net a slave, hail a right of Property in awn goods. Mr. Lands 'night call this v isiosisiry a 111 iiintelligible, butt it was the Coto.otitutiuot of Eng land.—(Applause.)—lt WAS the doctrine at rot 00000 un .serve and common law. 't he coon 000000 law of England ts.a. , founded on common sense, not the law which was comaineil in the Statutes, piled up as high A. those hos ling% anal not pretended to be ntideistood lye any wan, but the mount ttttt law of the land. Every one of the old lawyers (it wits :mother of Mr. Lamb's misfortunes to .oppose that he had sneered at those) held, that what was colorant to common sense was contrary to cououon law. The next part of the t'oemoitation was the rig& to be judged before a Grand Jury of the cunntry beforeany Plan was tried, and the further right to 1w tried by his equals, before be could be finally punished.— Applause.) —The five Bills, which be was said to support as part of the Constitution, were gross violations of the Culmina tion, and the people of England were not, and ought nut to be, satisfied till they neer reitraled.—(Applause.)-- Mr. Lamb had limber been unfortunate in saying that Mr. Hob)tits/sr would be a Whig as soon as he gut i..fe Ilse House of Commons ; that the Hun. Baronet was a;trays abusing and suppenting the Whigs. This he innit have stated by mistake, because Ise could not wil fully have stated OW was so 'nitrite and unfair. lie wal for neither Whig nor Tory, but for the people of England ; and, while fighting their battles, Is. fought always in the ranks of those, who, by locality, by their seats and benches, were opposed to the measures which besought die country to its present calausituns —(Applause.)— lint, suppose that by env accident the parties changed plan ces. what herame of . Irian then? A Whig in place WAS west like a'l'oe, end a Tory in op position must like a Whig.—(Cheers.)—But it eas Mr. Limb's tide of misfortunes which hail intruslueril this vehject. They hail never meant to wiristion the Whigs 'Vete. Ile had never done them the injustive to say that in. great body of the Whigs were not the moat inde pendent anal bunion:Me men in England.—(Applatrie.) Rut when it was ereril that their Representatives were co mp e ll e d to I s e Whigs, he would illustrate the cam to them without nseanirg any offence to the Whip. An 1 vocal man, returitiag to Lis home in the utorte.•;g, pees, a hinge on Itr : thieves are returning home it the Mime tune ; all hands join in extinguishing the tire ; iu this THE 87 ATFSMAN._ p ond work the honest man joins heartily with the thieves. s Ilse honest suais was therelore one of the gang, accord ing to .Ir. Lands.—(6reat Cheering.)—He really beard pardon of the Whip for the on ry compensate, hut they must thank their unfortunate friend fur it. Mr. Mont:Quer, in order to be neither Whig nor Tory, slutel.l should have a seat for himself in the centre of the House, and a bus, in whirl' he should vote by liissoself.—(Langli ter.)—But this was too ludicrous fur the enlightened electors of Westminster ; it 14011111 not go down in any! part of the worI•1 but its the !louse of 11111 l outs, where I they had an interest ia countenancing sham arguments.' As to Reform it-cif, it never stood so high in West-I minster as at this time. No candidate could stand um these hustings, without 1.4141 ,4 111 e solute Reform, though not the raltoary Reform slessre'l by the country.— I ! This he considered as a proof of its uverwhelmine pro. I greys. Ile hoped soot) to see the distinctions of tl big I I and fury done away. They existed limier haloes which he detested, and u gich only served to keep alive aniteto sities. 'f here urn.. wane Well among the Whigs, ! and some amongst the Tories; these lie uished to see acl ing together, tun ler the banners of RetUrns.—(liravo.)- 1 lien u ue Id the country be divided, not by childish slits i fr, curet, hut by principles, and the voice and nishes of ! the 'm o v i e wo uld lie nollerstooti.--(Clieers )—lle week! nun I:epart, leaving. Mr. Laub to all his pleasing ills- siunr, antl go himself to tame more solid Ile %timid do well to go On, awl perhaps in the end lie aoutd c up like the Hare arid the *I ortuise—kw the Harr too bad hopes to the last.--(l..sughing.)—He ens-I chided by repeating. that Itefonn was making great ' progress in 11 estminster, and hr slonlited nut the lassie of this contest uunld place it upon a ruck from whirls It %MIMI Ise impossible to :nose it.—(Lond cheers.) Ate. LA SI II neat presented himself amidst bison and ! exeeretion, mingled with partial applause. He said he feared lut• had caught flit' cold which the Huts. Barottet (Sur r. Burdett) hail appeared jail to have ',anvil with. In this respect Ise rould assure the electors lie was wore unfortunate than in arty other way pointed oat by the Huu. Barons t. lie denied having said that he had ob. taints! prosperity. yet lie was equally far from being that unfortimate gentleman just thowribegl. The plea santries of the worthy Baronet reminded lain: of the story of the Fortunate loseth, oho was represented to br raised at mire to sudden wealth; and when the story of this you•ls was compared with that of Mr. Hobbs:nay. the result, he firmly lwlieved, would be found to be the satyr iii both. He thanked the Hon. Baronet heartily for the introsluetiun of the fable of the Hare and Tor toise. Every one who knew that fable would remember that the Tortoise, which started nisch slower than his aotagspnist, is tbr end non !berate. 1k was spared the trouble of stating that Isis opponents were in a state of disappoluttnem,hy t lie frank acknowledgment of thellon. Berson himself. The truth was, that be (Mr. lamb) salt- much less in present situation of the poll to excite dismay than during the course of any of the pre ceding slays, for, upon making inquiry. hr found that upon corresponding days he had polled murk less daring the last election that': upon lint, yet he won the last election. He hall aiready e‘pressed his coalidence that the result of the election %mild prove Leonel:Me to him; and he felt himself justified in the fullest manner in en pres.ing a COM it 6.11 that the majority of the electors was in his f.tVolir. The li-srpfir.ir) superiority appearing on the poll in fat our of Ids opponents, was achieved rutirrly by !l i e ex ce ss; e esertisin• of their friends. There were 1114 tiy r eas o n ., operating at this 1U 1111 l eta to retard his progress. 11111 lass friends were beginning a coarse of activity at this moment, when they boon!! it behoved them to eshilsit their strength, nor would they. after receiving his call. allow a Represeutative to Ire placer) over thesis through their indolence. It was with ingsrlt pain that he spoke to theist, particularly as he found thst his athirers was by nu means agreeable to them. But there was one topic not to he passed by, notwithstanding an untiiilingness which be felt to introduce it, us ac count of the neersolty of notiring the Panes of several th•ntlesseen who were then Moen". However, the vindi cation of these lientlrmen and himself th•niandell a sa entire. 11 r. Noblesse c plainest that he had been cusimaitted to Newgate without being heard, and even witlsosst has ing any legal knowledge of the author. With respect to the first part of the assertion, he would reply by statin:;, that a friend of 31r. Hoblinuse came down to the Hostile of Commons, and publicly declared by authority also the author was. During the whole of the discussions regarding the pamphlet, 31 r. lloblumse's friends were present, and the whole of their dense:it:oer impressed hien (Mr. Lanib) with the belief, that an ad dress at the liar of the House on the part of Mr. Hobs house would produce no benefit, and would he only throwing rwarls bt•fore swine. If Mr. llobbouse did not intend to have himself declared Ilse author, the acts of the lientls•usan's friends were to he settled be tween them. ;slid if he wished to he heard, a hearing might bare burn obtained for hint.—(Disapprobation.)— lint lee (3lr. Ilehlsonse) did no such thing. Why 1141 ? Because Itr bad procured the grievance he wished for, to nurse it up and convert it to a means of in g ratiatin g himself wills she electors of Wrionsinster.—(Disapprobas tion.)—The tientleman had exactly got possession of s the alleged ill usage, and thus the blouse of Commons furnished him with a stepping-stone to a seat for the re present:oi of Westminster. The Hentleinan was well versed its ancient history, and would no dotalt recollect that in Rouse the entrance to the Temple of Iln 11111 l r was through the Temple of Virtue. But now it appeared that the avenue to the honour of being the Representa tive of Westminster was through a prison.—(here be was interrupted by a storm ofdisiopprobation, which rendered' it impossible for Isien to make himself audible.—Shoats of " off, off," were raised in all shires lions, to which a few voires replied, "fin on, go on.") —To that prison, however, Mr. Hoblioese had nut been sent with his con- Neut.—Were the tumult became so great that Mr. Lamb bowed, and retired from the front of the hustings.) Mr. llonuoter. amidst loud acclamatious then stepped forward, and said, " It is a great pity that you will not continue to hear Mr. Lamb, for he snakes himself so notch your favourite by his speeches that it is very un fair out to allow bins to presume lois interest by Isis very fair, s•andid, and honourable discourse."—(6o on. Mr. Lamb ; finish if you please.) Mr. Lime then came forward again. and repeated that 31r. lloblionse had not been sent to prison with his con sent, for be had voted against his committal. He certainly did not anticipate at that time that an elec tioneering use was to he made of that occnrrenee, nor did lie then suspect him of any intentions of the sort. He should have been most happy if amy efforts of his could hare saved Mn, Hobbs:use frum going thither, and, l as a conscientious man, he had voted against that pro iceeding.—s(Gruatis and hisses.) Mr. floatiocse raid, he was glad they had allowed lassub to dwell as long as Ise wished on Isis prison topic; wad lie henget, them. when ilse Hon. Hentleusan talked either of the Temple of Virtue or of Newgate, or of any other places of the same dr. cription. with which he seemed to be so well acquainted, to give him a pa tient hearing. Ile knew nut, indeed, whether their lis tening to Mr. Lamb would be to his advantage or not; hut he via/ suer it mould be of advantage to them, fur it would souse make them acquaiuted with his character —he meant his public eliar.srter. He had again chosen to 'speak of Isis (31r. Holshouse's) couspnittal to prison ; and, forgetting whom he addressed, and overlooking the forms of politeness and goud umunerr, had said that his snbolitting to go to Neargate as he did. without being heard in his ono defence, a as subtly an electioneer ing inantenere. Now he should like to ask them, whe ther this treatment of bins by Mr. Lamb cause home to their notion of those persons who dared present them selves before them as candidates for their favour? This was 1101 the way to sector the support of the electors of Westminster; and he would tell l!_r. tainib that his sup ! 'coits was (disci—it was false. Because be bad expressed i his opinion respectiug the tive,Bills passed be the late Par-1 liansent—because he had put upon paper what was in the !mouth of every man in the street—because he had been i imprisoned on principles which no man bred in the prin ciples of jurisprudence could defend--Mr. Lamb thought proper to tell them that all this load been dune as as elect' ering trick.—(Lund applause.)—He repeated I that what Mr. Lamb said was not true, and be knew it was nut true. It was impossible for any man of the ! slightest humor to have conceived, or to lave acted on swch a plan.—(Cheers.)—How conk' hr know that Pat , 1 Bement would Grosset' dissolved? How could he know that the late King would die so soon? There had been a ! meeting of sump forty of the electors of Westminster, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament against the live new Bills; 31111 they hail done him the honour of sending for him to draw op their petition and remolutions. (in that occasion he hail proposed that a cute of thanks to Mr. Lamb should lw inserted in the re solutions; and he believed ilicre weir several per- SOUS present who knew he had clone so.--(At this time several persona', both on the !sowings and in the crowd, roofirtued its truth.)—(•• What do Coll VP , to that, lambi"—Mr. Lamb—" 1 dual deny it.'`)— Ne trusted his conduct, in this respect, was * different from that which he h*J expenienced from Mr. Lamb. --'bears.)—Vet this gentleman now came forwat•l talking about the Temple of Virtue, and representing blow (Sir. Ilubliouse) not as attempting to arrive at ho honour by fair and lounootrable means, hot as sneaking tun arils it, :loom,' a dirty prison. —(Cries of shame.) — lint as lii arms this who talked about the Temple of Virtue: lie never knew those who entered that temple to be in the habit of writing letters detracting from the characters of those who were candidates for the same honours with themselves.--(Great applausr.)— He slid ono know where Mr. Lamb had hominess Temple of Virtue but let it be his Temple of Virtue, or what ever other temple he might choose to call it, he was sore was one in which no good man would wish to have a shrine. Mr. Lamb showed he did nut know him (Mr. Ifoleloouse) aloe thought him capable of doing any thing mean fur the purpose of gaining the greatest honour to which men could aopire.—(Lond cheers.)—But it was worthy of notice that this subject had been first intro- I shweil . for electioneering porpows, and as an engine against him, by Mr. Lamb himself—(applause);—and if there bad been any martinis re, it was the mean dirty trick which that gentleman bad practised. lie bail repeatedly j told Sir. Lamb that he did not mention the subject a l his imprisonment as a reason to intlnee the electors to grant him any favour ; and if the Homer:Able Gen tleman himself' hail not brought the subject forward s it would never have been mentioned at all. lie did not wish to pat himself forward on these hostings merely o as the opponent of Mr. lamb, either on lois own merits, or un that I:rostrum's's demerits; though he knew not what Gentleman standing there iO competition with Mr. Lamb would nut have a chance of bang preferred by the electors.—(Chevrs.)—But Mr. Lamb had said, that o he had nut cud for Ida (Mr. iii , bhouse's) committal. So lee had told dloena before, and therefore he felt great surprise on Boodles% that Mr. Lamb afterwards approved pf float proceeding. His mal:ing a merit with lass (Mr. Holohuiroe's) friend., of voting against his committal, and vet secretly approving of it to other', was worthy of s . lientleseasi who talked so much of the Temple of Vistue.—(Oreat applause.)—lt was painful to speak so much of •ne's self; but , Own he was charged with a meanness which was foreign to his nature, and whicls was not so likely to be practised by any as by those who saspected it in others, he was called un to come forward arid deny a charge, which, if established, would justly disgrace a man, not only in pubile, hnt in private life. ' lie would now leave Mr. Lamb in that Temple of Virtne to which he was so melt attached—(cries of" Shut the door upon him")—and he was sure that, while he was, Ithere, no good man would wish to be along with him, antral he could give a better definition of virtue than he ! hacl Isithern dope. As to the state of the pull, he should ' only say, that if Mr. Lamb was pleased, so was lee.— !The Hon. liesitleman's satisfaction at the situation he 1 ! held could only be explained by the line of the poet:— " In Folly's cup still laughs the bubbl. Joy.—(Cheers.) 131 r. Lamb bad said, that be load pulled more votes this I slay than on the same clay on the last Election, but it I happened that h had actually polled '2 less. Accuracy lin lwrs, calc u latio n , argument, or a ssertion , formed, !however. no very prominent features in the character of ' the lion. lientleman. The Hon. lientleman then expa tiated on the merits of the great question of Reform, with regard to which the Electors of this great City were in this contest to determine, and he Impeld their determination would appear from the re.nit to be such as to evince, beyond the shadow of a doubt, the decided character of their opinion. The Meeting dispersed about six o'clock. sTATE OF IRELAND. (RECEIVED TIIIS MORNING) COYNACWIT.—We have received letters from the West, which represent the condition of Galway. The princi pal facts niay be collected from the following extracts Irvin the tialway, Timm. and Mayo papers 6. tv, nett 9.—On Sunday night last, as Mr. iturke, accompanied My his servant, arrived at his gate. 41101t0., he demanded entrance, but, to his astonishirsent, instead of obtaining it, as he expected, there were two 'shots fired at him from a wall opposite the gate. Mr. liorke fired Isis pistol in the direction from whence the shots cause, anti exclaimed, Murder.' Five other shots were likewise tired at him, and Mr. Burke directed his servant to fire, who inunediately complied. Mr. Bnrke at this moment had the presence of mind to call out in a determined manner, with a view of intimidating them, " Come us Dragoons, and seize the villains."— This is supposed to have the desired effect of restraining them, as no doubt is entertained, if this subterfuge was not resorted to, the assassins wonld most probably advance mad accomplish their nefarious intention. the gate keeper, in his depositions, taken by that vigilant !Magi.- 'trete, James Daly, Esti. Dunsandle, admitted that be dia -1 tinctly heard the words expressed by Mr. Burke, and the shots ; but that the gate was not opened until the `following morning, when his master's hat was found close to it. It is supposed the gate-keeper was not int ' plicated in the transaction, but being so tmpressed with 'dread, that he would not venture to come to open the gate. Mr. Burke attributes his escape in a great inea sure to Isis servant having taken his horse by the bridle, and turning it from the gate, while &heavy Are was coo -1 tinned from within. Seven hnllet shots were found in and near the gate; and the gate-keeper states he heard several shoo go over the gate-house.
