Yesterday, being the last day of the Westminster Election, wee sabered in, not by the ringing of bells or the firing of cannon, bat by the besting of drams, the shrill town of the If., and the discorduat tussle of dig marrowbone and cleave►. Frogs eight o'clock in the morning, all was bastioned harry sad attivity l■ Covent.garden Market; and though sway votes sere not polled daring the day, greet •embers of Idle individuals lacked to the Hominy to we the bemoans which were ca►►ying on before them. Till 11 o'clock every thing proceeded eery quietly ; bet •boot that time the mob ►ad increased so mach, that they became conscious of thei► owe strength, sad, like ill limbs, analogs to abase it. They kept per. potently testing the air with vociferatiegs of " horse for ever!" and only altered their cry to eg ress their detestation of Mr. Lomb sad the Whigs. From the eery tuusultosies disposition which they gelaced, an additional somber of constables were posted in the different avenues leading to the Best. logs, is. order to afford protection to those who were going to vote, and to deter the rubble from the commission of any violence. We did net observe any thing of particular importance to occur I. the Interval Wilms twelve sod two o'clock, eacept it were tint the mob once or twice pursued minis friends of Mr. Lamb with heating., and hissiogs, end y►lling*, up and down the market, sod did not descent's'se their ineperteniiies goal the Gentle.

They were, how. ever, shortly reinforced by another body, who note• ceeded in rescuing their comrades from the fury of the mob, sod it. turning to flight the clamorous OM. berg who composed it; at the same time attest 'som ber of the vulgar part of Mr. Lamb's friends paraded Henrietta-street, wit► sibands of light hive and yel low is their bats; through whom ire butchers, of the opposite party, each armed with a panderers sterns w.bone and clearer, keep marching triumphant• ly, and clashing their arms together, as If in dodoes of their antagonists. By ►elf.p.st two o'clock, the crowd astembied in the market had become 'emotive. Every window In every hoes. was filled with persons collected to witness the result of the Election. All the heaths were leaded with customer', fins whom the booth. keeper, trashed no small price for the wretched ac eornahodstiori which they efford.d. Even the tops of the different sheds is the ma.k.e were occupied by individuals of all reeky, descriptions, and ages. To a perste loiking iftolll the Hustings at the imusette somber of heads sosembled before kis, it appeared as if the whole of the population of London had left their homes, is order to see into how narrow a compass they ceeld possibly contract themselves. Such numbers as thew, especially when they con. slat far the moat part of the lowest and most profii. gate individuals is London, seldom meet together without proceeding in some acts of riot and vie. lence. Their disposition to mischief was yeherdey, however, increased by the following timeshares., which was the neat in order that attracted our attention. It bowleg been determined that the chairing of Mr. Lamb should take place immedi. •rely after the dose of the Poll, these of his friends who were inclined to accompany the preces sion on horseback, were invited by a hand-bill to es. seeable at the south side of Covent-garden market at helf.past two o'clock. In order to do honour to the Representative of their choice, Lord Nugent. Lord Molynesi, Lords W. sod J. Resell. Sir R for. gessoes, Mr. Loathes, brother to the Mwnber for Durham, Mr. I3yng, and several other Gentlemen, with whose same. we are unacquainted, came to the field of swims, headed by the Earl of Settee. Ur aware of the intent of danger to which they exposed themselves, they provided thesasel►es with colours and cockades, and modes most goody display at their first starting on their jothstey. This hosed he no slight d.g►ee the Needs of the defeated Candidate, who, in consequence, vowed revenge, and prepared to make the victorious party pay dearly for their eaeltatioo. In consequence, as soon as the caval cade appeared in Covent-garden, they commenced hoists attack oo it, and made a display of their rancour tied animosity. They palled down the en. lours of their antagonists, and poured upon them • continued shower of mod, stones, and filth of every description. The hats, cockades, sad Mills of the homage were soon bespattered ; sad the faces of some of them, of Lord Sefton and Lord W. Resell particularly ed with dirt, as with large pies. ten. Lord John Russell and Mr. [Ashton being enraged at this brutal treatment, drove their horses forward among the assailants, and with hearty good. will dealt oat several heavy blows, both to the right and left, among the rioters, with their whips.— Their efforts. however. were ieeffectul, as their weapons of defence and offence were almost as weak as their numbers, against the seeress crowd as. senthled to oppose them. Besides. es the missiles came from the other side of the scaffolds, they meld not reach their aggressors. After being thee pelted and insulted, after esposing their faces to disfigure. meet, and their lives to danger—after bearing in lia ise, all the usual evils and marks of disgrace that attend defeat, they were obliged to retreat, with the mob at their heels. SOON of them were pursued, we were told, as far as the Haymarket, and even to Gresvenor.sq•are. Is the Haymarket one of the Gradation was throws from his horse, which ran of without him. Mr. Lamb, we were told too, though apprised of the danger that might attend • chairing, was resolved at first personally to encounter it, sod only agreed to relinquish his intention, at the seg. gallon of his friends, after this dispersion of the Geodesics who were to make part of the proces sion. lie came upon the Hustings a little after three o'clock, and as soon as he found that he meld not obtain a hearing, he retired to his Committee-room, in lienrietta.street, as quietly as possible, and re mained there till pest five o'clock. At five o'clock he drove from thence amid s similar shower of dirt and mud as had been previously bestowed roe his friends. rmocm or nom TWI Rank Meek 9 prr (WA. per Grim. Dem& 74 96 per Cott.

For whence did the Mowerchical sad Aristocratical portions of the State arise ? What bands placed the heed (the Crown) where it is? What hands fed the overleaped body (the .4 rigoerecy)? Why that number which is now despised, ran down, and csiumniated, because it es pressos its disappointment and its rage in unmeasured terms.

It most appear humiliating to the philosophic mind, that doctrines in themselves absurd, and which imply supernatural agency, meet with salape►ter, in plenty, while mysticism (Johanna Southcote for instsoce) has plenty of fol lowers. It is, •otwithstanding, difirelt to make Eagliehmeri believe that the same effect which has followed the same Cause in every part of the world, will take place in England. Sech men as Mr. Hoznoitsz must enter the House of Commons before that Assembly can be purified. Nnw we ere more confident in him than ever. There are honest resentments in the Patriot's breast, which urge bin on to the People's service. It is natural to feel a distinct affection for the army with which we bare fought and been wounded. - ---.. TIIE FUNns. This moraiog the face of the money market, as it is technically called, looked more cheerful than for a few days pest, owing to a large quantity of Exche quer Bills being disposed of yesterday at 8 per Cent. Discount (to-day at only from 4to 7). With re gard to the so much talked of and apprehended Logo, nothing h yet determined on about it.— Opinion derteates between the sums of twelve and twenty millions, but a Lees between those extreme sems Is looked to and expected. At ton o'clock tho Three per Ceets. opened at 73i, for sooty, sod at 11 o'clock, they moved a little upwards, i. e. to 73. At twelve o'clock they wore 74f, and kept steady to that point. Several good Christians accounted in a strange way for the rather brightened countenance of the Steek.Eachange, on this day, which was, that the rich Jews, with their darker complezions, were absent on the occasion of the nopliais in the families of the itlopacroats sod the Cousin. That a wedding, however distiocalth. ed by the parties in alliance, in rank, isr riches, should be thought to tales the price of any tido( bet diamonds and whit. riband, makes us smile.
