,1 ~ I 1 ,~ _______ 4., Westminster Election.—State of the Poll Saturt:tty at the Final Close.-13ortica, 5,327-1 - lobhouse, 4,BB2—Lamb, 4.436. After the numbers had been announced by the Iligh Bailiff, Sir Francis Burdett addressed the Electors—he congratulated them on their triumph, and in allusion t his late trial at Leicester, (a full account of which we give this day), be de clared his determination to move an arrest of judg ment. Mr. Hobhouse followed the worthy Baronet —Mr. Lamb, from a praise-worthy wish to avoid creating disorder, did not appear at all. It is said that the Chairing will take place on a future day with great eclat. •••••••• AN UPRIGHT ELEeron.—ln these degenerate times, a Journalist has more than ordinary pleasure from recording an instance of honest political inde pendence. An eminent ale brewer called, on Mon day last, with one of Mr. Mellish's canvassing parties, on an elderly man, who is a cooper, residing in the neighbourhood of Mile End Road, and who receives annually a considerable sum front the brewer, whose influence in this instance was relied upon. After the usual introductory induce ments hail been made use of, and his vote was soli cited, the Cooper, addressing himself to Mr. Mellish, who attended the party, said—" Sir, on the Corn Bill, or the Bullion Committee, you might know better than I did, and I would bow to your judge ment ; but as to the grant of 10,0001. a year to the Duke of York, for visiting his afflicted flither, that is a simple question,easily understood by every father or son, and Jet the consequences as respects Mr. 's business be what they may, d— me it' I will give my vote in favour of any man who could disgrace himself by forwarding so infamous a grant." The canvassing party withdrew, struck dumb by this unexpected honourable exhibition of honest feeling on the part of this upright Elector. Mr. Curwen, in his address to the freeholders of Cumberland, stated that his wife (to whom we be. lieve Mr. Curwen owes the greater part of his large property) had embarked with her whole soul into the contest to rescue this county front that state of bondage, and degraded submission to one family, under which it had so long laboured. Ile said that Mrs. Curwen hail, the morning of the election, before he left home, addressed him as -follows : " I have 5,0001. in diamonds; put them in your pocket ; they cannot be devotod to a better cause than that in which you arc now engaged." It is a curious fact, that the first person released, when the doors of' the Madrid Inquisition were thrown open, was an Englishman, Captain King. Ile had been confined there fifteen days, for having ailed in the limitation of a design for a monument of the Constitution, which the Liberales in Madrid were preparing to erect, when they heard what was passing in Andalusia. The Countess of Glasgow, and Lady Maxwell, of Pollok, have humanely promoted a Subscription among the Ladies of Renfrewshire, fir clothing the indigent women and female children belonging to that comity. From the funds raised in this way, Lady Maxwell sent to the Rev. Messrs. Logan, Pringle, and Stewart, 51 women's shifts, 50 chil dren's ditto, 31 women's petticoats, 21 children's ditto, 11. pullicat handkerchief's, 20 short gowns, 21 frocks, 14 pairs list shoes with soles, 10 pairs stout leather ditto, 20 pairs women's stockings, and 40 caps, which were distributed among the poor of the parish of Eastwood, and have aflinded a very sea tamable ::upply to many iu very distressed circuits bullet's Mr. Lambton having written to Sir Thomas Lid dell (who is now with the King at Brighton), to request his vote and interest on the present oc casmn received the following very " courtly" answct . _ tith Feb. 1820.
