Mr. Coke had the precedency. :CTIO, LINCOENSiIIitkEI; Wednesday being the day appointed for nominat ing proper persons to represent this county in Par liament, a large body of Gentry met Mr. Chaplin at ten o'clock in the morning at the toll her in car. riages, and on horseback, accompanied by the te nantry of Isis friends residing in the neighbourhood of Lincoln, and by this assemblage he was conducted through the city to the County-hall. Sir Robert Heron was also met at the bar.gates about eleven o'clock by a very large body of freeholders, and in like manner was conlucted to the County-hall. His' cavalcade wee not so large as that of Mr. Chaplin's, but there is every reason to believe that Sir Robert was offended by as many freeholders. Mr. Pelham had been some days in Lincoln. The banners on be half of 'Sir Robert Heron bespoke the feelings of his friends iu a very decided manner : same of them were inscribed with the names of the wapentakes from which they came: all of them 46 oar Country and Heron t" one front Gainshoroaeh represented a very fine bite', well painted (the Heron). with the inscription " Independence and Heron :" another " The Isle of Asholene and Freedom :" these all ap peared to be volunteers. The Sheriff appeared on the Hastings about 12 ' o'clock, and opened the business. Sir ROBERT SHEFFIELD then came forward to p►o. pose the Hon. M►. Pelham as a Gentleman is every respect independent in public and private life. The Rev. Sir CHARLES ANDESSON,' Bart. seconded this nomination. Sir J. THOROLD, in coming forward to propose Sir Robert Heron as a Candidate for the Representa tion of the County, should not occupy much of the time of the Meeting, because his abilities were quite inadequate to the task ; but he trusted that the cause he espoused would make up for his want of ability on its behalf. Sir Robert was the man of their hearts: wherever they found justice and humanity,, there also, on their Whiff, would be found the name Of Sir R. Heron. Ur hoped the spirit of the County would be made Manifest by their return of Sir Robert Heron, the man of their choice. edmicts Aida, EN. in seconding this nomine nioa, spoke with useeh zeal in behalf of Sir Robert, 'Hero*. - JOHN GACROTT, EN. proposed C.

Mr. PRLItAIt then stated, that both the other Can. didates were his friends: it was indifferent to him which succeeded; he would go bend in hand in any county business that might come before them, be his colleague whom he might : he only requested his friends to put him et the head of the Poll. The Suitturi then appointed the following Thurs day morning, at nine o'clock, to commence the Poll, and the business of the day closed at two o'clock, with thanks of the Meeting to the Sheriff. The accounts from all parts of the country rela tive to the harvest are of the most gratifying descrip tion. In every direction an abundant display of fine crops presents itself ; and 'apples and other trait were never known to he in greater abundance. On Thursday morning, a fire broke oat at the Yorkminster public.house, in North Audley-steeet, Which threatened most alarming consequences to the neighbourhood, owing to the quantity of spirits on the premises; but we orW happy to say, thet, in con sequence of the early arrival of a fire engine belong ing to Messrs.

A curious case of Breach of Promise of Marriage was tried in the Court of Common Pleas, Dublin, ou Saturday, before Lord NOILEURY and a respectable City Jury. The Plaintiff was a widow lady, above fifty years of age, of the name of Hawkins, and the Defendant a Geutleman of the name of Kelly, sufficiently fa► advanced in life to be a grand-father. His age was stated to be at least 65. The Lady had been marched early in life, whet, she was vet) , beautiful, to Mr. Blosset, and after his decease had married Mr. Hate. kins. Subsequent to the death of the second hoe. band, a long courtship took place between her and- . the present Defendant, and a marriage was *reed lesson bet weep them. He borrowed fifty poonds from Mrs. Hawkins, for the purpose, as he assured her, of purchasing the wedding clothes, and when lie re ceived the money set off to Limerick, sod there married a Mrs. Hemet. Upon the present action being commenced, the Defendant wrote the Plaintiff a letter, in which he threaten€4l, that if she went to law, he would prove that she had permitted him to take the greatest and grossest liberties with her.— This letter was stated to be couched in terms so ex ceedingly improper, that the Counsel, to use the words of the Noble end Learned Judge in his charge to' the Jury, " dropped a curtain of decency upon it," and waved the reading in Court, but sent it up to the Jury. No proof of the truth of the 'Hew'. lions contained in this letter was given. The main defence was levity of conduct in the Lsdy, bat no thing more was proved thin that she had been mar ried when very young totter first husband, who was then an elderly Gentleman, and that, as is not very -uncommon in such cases, her character was freely spoken of, though nothing injurious to her fame could be established. The Damages were laid at 10001. The Jury found a verdict for the Plaintiff, 2501. and costs. 141P1CCriPTU en Tat CLOIS OF Tat LONDON AND LLECTII ON TUZIDAY TYi 9.30 Jll7lll.

Mr. Arnold, of the Haymarket, was met on Tuesday night by two men, apparently sailors, in the fields between Hammersmith and Kensington, who I offered to accompany him as far as Kensington ; Mr. Arnold accepted their offer, and they walked to getbor shoot a quarter of a mile, when one of the aeon suddenly turned round, and with the bot-end of a horse pistol knocked Mr. Arnold down, tied his, hands, and with the assistance of the other, rubbed . him of 41. in Bank of England notes, and 21. in silver. Orders have been received at Chatham to ship oe board his Majesty's ship Coromandel, the remainder of the stores left behind by the Rio Janeiro squadron —a measure which determineElhe destination of that vessel. The Coromandel is, bowever, undergoing repair, and is not expected to be ready for sea before the middle of August. \ . , MIDDLESEX ELECTION, sitExTromn, 3.6 at 26- A great number of Etectors and others,Arlende of Mr. Byng awl Mr:• Mellish, assembled at the usual place for the purpose of electing two -Member* for thi county. The Sheriffs arrived a few Minutes be. fore ten o'clock, and took their station in the Hotta lags, constructed with all the . necessary apparetue fOr a contested Election, and the business of Iteeimp, Immediately commenced. The concourse of peopO• was very great. Ise the outskirts of the crowd IL . semicircle of carriages filled with Gentlemen and Ladles formed a striking part of the assemblege.-..- ,Just as the necessary preliminaries were reading, the crowd became vocifetcrus in ribose of Mr. Mellish. They at last celled so pertinaciously for his appear istef, that he &Hit necessity to present histseiG In MUM he received such a volley of those as induced. ,Itiokinstinctieely to withdruse himself from " Why don't you shoW us the Corn the Sets pension Bill, the Indemnity Bill, as proofs of your character 1" was the mode of catechising adopted on the occasion. , The previous formalities ham finished, Mr. WIIITDRVID (when his name *as anooloced, it was received with the most enthusiastic applause) spoke to this effect :—" Gentlemen, Electors, and Freeholders of Middlesee, we are assembled to else one of the noblest privileges of Eoglishmen: It Is evident,that the duty we have to perform ought not to be performed lightly, for our dourest Revives are at stake.—(Applause.)- - -Ica making the selection of Gentlemen to 'represent us in Parliament, we haute look for men of honest, free, and independent prin ciples, who will not forsake their dirty for any selfish motives.— (Great applause.)-1 felt diffident —yogi% and unknown as I am—to address you on this occa sion ; I rely, however, upon my name, to which I know I owe the reception which you havegiren me-(Shouts of applause),—and come before you to propose one 'for your Election whose name speaks for itself.... 4 (Applause )—W ben I propose George liyna, Esq. I need not say that your interests are safe in his hands. .--(Great opplause.)—For eight-andatabenty years his honour, integrity, and independent conduct have been under your observation ; he has been ever watchful of your interests ; and he ['ever will forget his Constituents to serve himself.—( Loud applause.) —I should not have spoken so decidedly, if I did not know that Mr. Byng was most highly Morel by one whom duty, affection, and principle compel me to honour and love. For 30 years Mr. Byng went hand in-hand with my father, in the cause of civil and Mi. gioos liberty.—(Great applause.)—A cause which he never can forsake but with his esistence."—(lns menu applause.) Mr. Tat rAIJD (ae we understood) felt great plea. sere in seconding the proposal of a man whom they knew and approved.—(Applausc.)—Mr. Byng had ever advocated the spirit of freedom and independence which was introduced and established in Englead by Magna Charts. That ever otemotatee Charter had recognized the full possession of life, of person, and of liberty. Without the last, the two first were not worth enjoying,—(Shords of applause.)—The Bill of Rights declered those enjoyments to be not ooly the law of the land, but the inalienable sights of the Peo. ple.--(//pplatree.)—The Act of Settlement finally guarded the free possession of life, liberty, and pro• perty—the birth-right of every Englishman. Thee. • principles Mr. Brig always supported, and on these principles he now Wooded his numination.—(Great applause.) My: WOOD (of Littleton) assured his brother Freeholders, that he could not prevent the sin of be. lug old, hut with their indulgence he came to no minate William Mellish, Esq. to be °he of their Re presentatives.—[The yell here set op was furious In the eatreme: when the uproar seemed inextinguisba able without special interposition, Mr. Sheriff De. stages came forward, and called upon the Electors to hear every body and decide afterwards, not to decide in the first place; but all was in vain; the din increased, and 64 1100, off, off!" made the Sir deg again.;—He nominated —(vociferating with. kit vim most might)—Wililam Mellish, Esq. to rapsollai We great county in Parliament. Mr. CRYING uttered at intervals, as he could be heard, that he agreed in opinion with the Gentleman who had first addressed them, that the men whom they elected ought to be free and independent. Its this opinion he agreed with the Gentleman whose father he had reapected, and who bad that day af. forded a fair presage of eminence when his talents, ,now juvenile, should come to maturity. It was a great and important duty to elect a man to represent their rights and liberties, and he whom they should elect ought to be himself independent and incapable of betraying or neglecting their interests for any Mi nister, for no class of men whatever, or to forward his own private interests. There were different spe. cies of independence. True independence they were to seek in the character, the conduct, the life, and, above all, in the free and independent exercise of a sound and discriminating judgment. It was a greeC Many years since he last had the honour of addressing them in that place. At that time they had beets engaged in a great and expensive war, of which the result coeld not then be foreseen. They were now in the enjoyment of a peace which bad placed this ~cliuntry in a higher rank than the page of history bed described. This was owing principally to Isis Wriest!, 'a armies by sea and land; but it was also owing, in a great measure, to a Government which kvied itself and studied the interests of the People. William Mellish, Esq. was a gentleman of the lode. pendeucehe had described. He seconded his noel. nation. Mr. Cciteas came forward, and said he bad Ire thank them for the distinguished honour of having so much as bestowed a thought upon him as a fit and worthy person to represent this great end popelout county.—(Applause.)—When he said this, no man was more sure than he that it was no merit of his which had 'tensioned so high and elevated a distinc- L non. 7 -(Yoo are right,' Clarke, cried a Gentleman standing close by fir.
