During the whole day the crowds were greater than we ever witnessed. upon an occasion of the kind. As might be expected, the ruffianly work commenced with the polling. The animosity of the parties to each other WAS carried to a great extrem • ; even persous'of a respeetabl.e appearance joined in the battle of blows as well as words. At about two o'clock a tremendous shouting was heard, in the, direction ()I Southampton-street; a fight waagoing forward there, in which many were engaged. Th light blue and yellow ribund (the symbol of the Whigs) waved for some time in victorious motion ; but. those who were distinguished by no colour soon changed the scene, and the colour of the ribaud, by covering it with mud. • At a quarter before three, Mr. Hobhouse and Sir F. Burdett came on th: hustiogs; amid the loudest accla mations. Immediately after their entrance, a' loud shout declared the approach of another Principal. . A number of Gentlemen on horseback, with the emblems of the successful Candidate on their breasts, and in their hats, came in sight, and ranged themselves at the .side of the hustings at which Ale. Lamb was to enter. The crowds in that quarter were enraged at their appear ance. Several fellows ran for cabbage-stalks, and mud, and brickbats, which lay in great quantities in a passage between the booths. The signal for the attack was given, and soddenly a volley of all sorts of filthy nris sties was let off against the friends of Mr. Lamb. To describe the pickle in which the triumphant candidate's friends were instantly exhibited, would be impossible. The brotherof Mr. Lambton, and Lord William Rus. sell, headed the pursuit of several into one of the pas sages of the Garden. The contest had assumed at one time a frightful appearance; for at the moment the re. sistance was made by the Whigs, one of the large booths, upon which ne a rly a thousand people must have been collected, bent forward. The battle became less vigorous, the booth was lightened of its weight, and the contest was resumed. • Suddenly a shout rent the sky ; it cams from the pedestrians, who conducted Mr. Lamb to the hustings. Mr. Lamb appeared in his place, next to the High Bailiff. At three the poll-books were closed finally ; and the following numbers were exhibited: — Fur The Host. G. 1.64111 U 4465 MI It/l/hollse 3861 M,jor C 411.. r ght $8 Mr. Morris, the Hilt Bailiff; then came forward, and informed the Meeting, that the Election had ter minated in favour of Mr. Lamb, who was accordingly the ficpr,:sentative iu Parliament for the City of West minster. The crowd manifested the utmost indigdation Mr. Lamb ateppettforward. thanked the Meeting for having done him the honour of appointing him to represent Westminster, in conjunction with the worthy Baronet, to whose assistance lie should look with expectation in the course of his parliamentary career. He assured them, he eliceald watch over their liberties with as care ful an eye as those who talked a great deal about liber ty; and he would leave it to a future day to decide. whether he was right in his views, as to the best mcaua of sectirite; their rights and privileges. Mr. llohhouse came forward, amidst immense ap plause. He came, he said; to bid them farewell. The peoole of Westminster had, he said, lost the election : he trusted they had not lost their honour. One thing at least he was sure of—tbe Independent Electors bad more consolation in such a defeat than the adversary could have had. in such a vietory.—Applause.--The .coalition of all the powerful parties in the State had arrayed themselves against the People. The numbers of those who had been led by .tale views, influenced by threats, and deluded by promises, proved greater than that of these who had conscientiously done their ,duty. He must . at the same time be understood to say, thut he did not accuse all of those who had voted for the opposite party of having voted against their consciences e a great deal must be allowed for prejudice. But it would, he said, be easily seen who had the best reason to be content with the issue of the contest:— On one side,: was a Candidate selected from the people, bent upon the service of the,people, deciardig betbre them his abhorrence of the conduct of a large political lexly in the State, and rousing, by that declaration, their active resentateot. lie bad told the keople the reel character of that party who had always pretended to wish to elieviate their miseries, and who now gave a profit of their sincerity, by seeding forth a Candidate :tgelest reform, and risking the chance of a civil was. Opposite to the cause of the people stood the other can didate, the produce ef, that buttoned coalition which petal alreddy been described. Between the two, it was eaSy to see to whom the glory beioneed. The venal pally ware mash to adopt all kinds of cejoleries and tricks against the people. Although they carried away vhat they called triumph, to the independent Electors (those wlto voted for him) heloNed the real glory and tee true profit of the contest.. The latter had gained mach. The battle had proved„that nearly . 4000 radical reformers had the manliness to brave all threats, and slued ngainq a coalition unparallelled in the annals of hi Whigs.—Loud applause.—.. There was another advantage derived from the result of the contest , : it proved that nothing was to be expected from the Whir, that they sought nothing but the aggrandisement or their own great families. For himself, he felt the deepest 'gratitude towards those Electors who Iva placed such confidence in him. He knew well what he had to encounter when he began. Every weapon that malice and power could arm his adversary with had been used against him. He would now bid them• farewell, to retire to the station from which he had come. He then bowed to the crowd and retired. Sir F. Burdett came forward amid the loudest shoutr• of applause. He said, the opponent was not su proud of his triumph a's to be anxious to display his honour before theMeetingon the last day of the.contest. lie 'looked forward to the effect of his labours with the greatest hope; fur he saw in the independent Electors of Westminster a strong reliance upon that axiom, that all power emanated from the people.—Appliuse—He was not disheartened by the parties of hired ruffians whom the'people had driven before them. 'The caws. was near being realised; never had it been so near completion in Westminster. Mr. Hobliouse had said.. he would bid them farewell, hut it mi g ht no t b e a very long farewell—loud cheers—for he was justified by the poll, and the general feelings of the people of West— minster, in plucing himself before them as the firm sup— Porter o 6 their rights and liberties.—Besides the united interests, and the base modes resorted to, the Electors had to regret the falling off of some of their staunch supporters.—Cries of " IVishart:' Mr. Wishart was alwazs a Whig, and therefore could not be condemned. —Cries of " Sturch"—The dereliction of public slaty . Committed by that Gentleman was indeed a surprise.. Their's (the Reformers) was the day of triumph: 'a tri umph which he wonld not resign for the psltry result of a contested election. He now took leave of the Electors of Westminster with increlLied esteem, and, he trusted, more closely connected than ever with them from the struggle, in whicn they had joined heart and hand in restoring the constitutional rights of the people o: England. —Great applause.—The parties then left the hustings.. Af%r the election was over, the disgraceful scener of the early part of the day were repeated; such as throw- • ing of mud, stones, Ike. on all that appeared partisans of Mr; Lamb. The mob at last attacked the geese in ' which Mr. Lamb's Committee used to meet, demohsl.•ed the windows, and almost plastered the front of the house with mud. Stones were thrown into it through the windows; one of which, being returned among the mob by a person inside the house, struck a baker on the. head, knocked him down. and produced a copious, ' stream of blood limn him temple. At last a party or • the Horse Guards were brought up, who succeeded in dispersing the mob without violence. A small ass, belonging to J. Weak, of Poplar, 37 inches high, was backed, for a wager of 20 guineas, to he rode by his son, to pet form nine miles within the h cur. The rider and donkey, with its equipmenrs, at the time of starting, weighed 1531b5--[the ass 102, and the boy, saddle 'and bridle, 51.]—It started on Wednesday, at one o'clock, from-the 12 mile stone in the town of .omford, and arrived at the three mile (Arnie at Stratford two minutes before two ; having performed the task in 58 minutes.. From its diminitirer. size it excited great astonishment. The following list of persons sentenced to trancporta.
