Any inclination which might, on the sadden appearence of Mr. Lamb, have existed in kis f was, he fait moored, entirely eshaested ; and he therefore coed not help impress's/ his conviction, that if the morrow were a fine duly, they wield prove to the Whigs that they lied totally noisceicelsied their power in Weatminaler.

Whin the meek had subsided, Mr. Heaholllll6 preseeded.]-11 was unfair that they would tot allow the lion.

He treated that the efforts which they were thee math,g to injure them would be confootided—they had glees the Electoes every reason to know them ; and, therefore, if they (the Electors) did met treat them oceording to their de serts, they would. me longer deserve the character whist they hod go leas bone, of being the meat smoothie and intelligent men in the wide circle of the British empire. He hoped, however, that they would whitish' the character which they bed gnjustly tented, by their conduct on the premat occasion ; bided am mesa to soy that they would do so by espperting the humble individesi who was then addressing them, hat he did memo to say that they would do It, if they gave the world a striking proof that they still comes. dered Parliamentary Reform as the peritoneal ob. ject of their attention. Their example would have greet weight with the country, and would teach it more forcibly than say words could do, that Perlin. menttry Reform wee that permanent object, without aikido they emild erect Nothing, and with which they could effect every thing. Mr. Hobbits* these retired, amid the loudest as of applaewe; after which Mr. Laws came forward. and attempted to obtain a hearing from the multitude. Finding that they were not iodised to listen tohim, Ise bade them good-night, god retired. His friends, however, persuaded hist to make a se. coed trial of the patience of the crowd; he did so, bet his second attempt was as ineffectoal as his first. Mr. Bowsi then came forward, on behalf of Ma jor Cartwright : we understood that his intsmliste was to reed • letter of Major Cartwright to the Elen tors; he brandished a longish manuscript in his head, het was pot allowed to goad a giggle syllable of it, owing to theist:meant shouts with which he wall U. sailed of, * 1 Be of ; we don't want your palaver: Iwe want Sir Fraacis Berdett." At last, after heat - hog the mange end hooting. of the mob for tin mi. mum, with as greet unconcern as ever was displayed •by Mr. Hunt, ho retired. Sir F. BoIDSTT came forward timid the loudest' cheers. lie ceatmenced bit speech by informing the Electors that he must again express his regret, that they had not listened to what might here been ad. minced by the Court Candidate on the present occa sion. Beside the wish which he felt that their adver sary might have fair play, he bad a feeling of • mere selfish aster', which led him to desire that they wield grant is future a patient hearing to that Geo. tiemen's arguments. They meet be aware of the great disidventsge ender which be !sheared, in flat hearing the words which might have fallen from the Coslition Candidate its oppositirso to his Mend, Mr.l llobhome, whom they supported. It placed him in • most awkward sitsatioe, because, as they well knew, two parties were grimed, whenever a game at football was in contemplatioe.--(4pimose.) On entry account, he was analogs that this accom modation shoolffbe afforded to the Learned Gentle men. If they would not @Ford it on his (Sir Emmett Berdett's)recommeadation, he hoped that they would dolt for their own eatertalement ; because he could enure them !het the Gentleman who was brought forward to represent the seglitio• monster was a very facetious Gentleman, and was chiefly brought fee ward on account of his entertaining powers. Bet to drop that subject, sod to refer to another in which they were more interested, he mast first of ell agile congratulate them on the state of the Poll ; which, if lit was not so high es might have been expected, had oily beta kept oader by the omfavoetrable state of the neathifr. still he meat inform them, that at Ith close the strolls was running strangle their (sleet; had t‘ereforshedid not hesitalata repeat what belied 'befog, told thesis, that it would soon carry sway le its tortoni all the obstacles which had been created to Impede it, Bed would thus severe to them that triumph which be and all of thorn had as mach at beset.— Ile had also greet satisfaction in informiag thew, that the polling if their adversary was ouch more languid than it was at the commescsmest of the Blot.

When, thereferdsibn recollected that their eppegoet had nothing se which sorely eacept compulsion; when they recollected that he had lashed up to the Hustings every slags over 'whom be god his friends had any comineed or bleu once ; when they recollected that he had polled all 'the constables sad all the Pallsesall voters (among whom, he bad bees told, though he did not aver the fact, that there were not so many honest moo as would have saved Seders and Gessorreh from des olfaction) they must see that they bad every rational prospect of success and victory. Notwithstanding such prospect, ho most beg of every Elector to recollect his oath before he gave his vote, and of every person of title or distinction, who was eserrising the power which his situation •r his foresee granted him, is extorting a vote from his unfortunate orighboor, to consider that in so doing, be was a sedative of per. jury and guilty of a crime of the very darkest hue— (apploose.)—inasmuch as such compulsion made every men who voted contrary to his opinion, offend against the dictates of that most oserriag monitor— his ewe conscience. Besides, he weseld ask, was there say act of slavery so cruel, was there any set of grassy so offensive, as that which not merely would not allow a man I. avoid what be deemed wrong, hut which should positively compel him to the commiesion of an act which, in his own soul,' he abhorred, and which, its the eye of the law, was considered a most feel sod detestable crime? With erred to the tricks and deletions of Me l Coalitioe Candidate, aided as they were by what he bad himself called the mere solid satisfactiee if • breakfast, be had wily to tell him, that the ladependent Blotters of IVestmlisster felt more heartfelt satisfaction in following the humors Ohm., does without fee or hope of reward, than they *sold is 00p:tykes; all the Iglesias which he could offer to their acceptance. There might, indeed, he mese solid satisfaction in a place at Court, than In de feeding the rights of the People either on those (lest. leg, or in the Haute of Commons: but is was not that fart of solid satisfaction to the soul which the Electors of Westminster ware aceestomed to enjoy. Those who were enamoured with it, might make good slaves—they might eves make geed false patriot,— they might even pfrfer this solid satisfaction to mere empty praise ; bat they were est of that class of men who were in unison with the Elector., nor if that Wass of Patriots who would give up every comfort to promote the cease of their reentry. He had no doubt, that as the spirit of Westminster sest now awake, that every Elector would come up to the Poll is his owe dee time; het he begged of each and all of them who were yet unpolled, to come op early to give their votes, If they could by any wen' make it convenient to de se, is order that they eight en. sere glory and ounces to the Gadsden of their choice. By such conduct they would increase that feeling of delight chick was always diresed over a man's mind, by the consul s of having perform ed his duty; &wooer though he who are op slowly to the Poll was a geed labogrer is their tease, he was not an good as he who nee op with speed sad alacrity.
