During the whole day the crowds were greater than we ever witnesbed upon an occasion of the kind. As might be expeeted, the ruffianly work commenced with the polling.. The animosity or the parties to each other was carried to a groat extrem , ; even persons of a respectalA appearance joined in the battle of blows as well as words. At about two o'clock a tremendous shoutin was heard, in the direction of Southampton-street ; a fight wasgoing forward there, in which many were engaged. Th , 2 light blue and yellow riband (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 ribund, by covering it with mud. At a quarter before throe, Mr. Hoi. h ouse and Sir F. Burdett came on the hustings, amid the loudest accla mations. Immediately after their entrance, a loud shunt declared the approach of another Principal. A rvimber 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 cif the hustings at which Mr. 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 is passage between the booths. The signal for the attack was given, and suddenly a volley of all sorts of filthy mis siles was let off against the friends of Mr. Lamb. To describe the pickle its which the triumphant candidate's friends were instantly exhibited, would be impossible. The brother of Mr. Larnbton, 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 Whig..., on.: of the large booths, upon which nearly a thous.liti people must have beta collected, bent forward. The battle became less vigoraus, the booth was lightened of its weight, and the contest was resumed. Suddeialy a shout rant the sky ; it came from the pedestrians, who conducted .ilr. Lamb to the hustings. Mr. Lamb appeared in his place, next to the High Bailiff: At three the poll-books were closed finally ; anti the following numbers were exhibited : For The Hon. G. 1,411 h 110 M. WWI M dor C4it r cht 38 Mr. Morris,' the High Bailiff, then came forward, and informed the Meeting , that the Election had ter minated in favour of Mr. Limb, who was aceurdinzly the IL:presentative in Parliament fur the City of West minster. The crowd manifested. the utmost iadigdation Mr. Lamb stepped fbrward. thanked the Meeting for having done him •the honour of appointing him to represent Westminster, in conjunction with the worthy• Baronet, to whose assistance ne should look with expectation in the course of his parliamentary career. He assured them, be should watch over their liberties with as care ful an eye as those who talke.l a great deal about liber ty; and he would leave it to a ftt r day to decide whethcr.he was right in his views, a:: to the best means of securing their rights and privileges. Mr. llobilouse came forward, a.oltlst immense np. platise. He came, he said, to bid them Isrewell. The people of Westminster had, he said, lost the election : he trusted they had not lost their honour. One thing at least he was sure of—the Independent Electors had . more consolation in sueh a defeat than the adversely could have had in such a victory.—Applanse.—The coalition of all the ptiwtrfnl parties itt the State hail arrayed themselves against the Pecipm. The numbers of those who had been led by false views, innuenced by threats, and deluded by provisoes, proved greater than that of those who had cor.seientionsly done their duty. He must at the same time be understoosl to say, that he did dot accuse all of those who had voted for the opposite party of having voted against their consciences ; a great deal must be allowed tor prejudice. Bat 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 sek-cted from the people, :bent upon the service of she people, declaung hethre them his ithhorrenco of the conduct of a large politicat hotly in the• State, and musing, by chat declaration, their active resentment. Ile had told the kcople the real character of that party who hail always pretend...l .to wish to alleviate their miseries, and who now gave a proof of their sincerity, by sending forth a Candidate against reform, and risking the chance of a civil war. Opposite to the cause of the people stood the othe: can. dictate, the producer f that abandoned coalition which had already been dexribed. liet•vta.ti the two, it was easy to see to• whom the glory belotis;ed. The venal party were ready. to adopt all kinds of cajoleri:s and' tricltsag , tinst the people.. Although they c.•rried otw..y what they called Iriumi - sh, to the iadepenclen: El.:eturs (cl i p se who voted for hi,n) belozzgcd the reel glory nod the true pr , fit of the contest. Ihe latter lAA game.' ma, h. The battle had proved, that nearly 44:19 reformers had the *manliness to limit :t:t threats, and stand again-t a coalition unparallelled iti :h.e annals of the Whigs...4.olli applaune.-Thr.a. :ea. another 7 1 advantage derive l from the result of the contest: it proved that nothing was to be expected from the Whigs, that they sought nothing but •he aggrandisesneut of their own great families. For himself, he felt the deepest gratitude towards those Electors who had placed such confidence in him. He beim 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 static► from which he had come. He then bowed to the crowd and retired: Sir F. Burdett came forward amid the loudest shouts' of applause. He said, the opponent was not so proud of his triumph as to be anxious to display his honour, before the Meeting on the last day of the contest. He looked forward to the effect of his labours with the greatest hope; for he saw in the independent Electors of Westminster a strong reliance upon that axiom, that all power emanated from the people.—Applause—He was not disheartened by the parties of hired ruffians whom the people had driven before them. The cause. was near being realised ;„ never had it been so near completion in Westminster. Mr. Hobhouse had said. he would bid them farewell, hut it might not be a very long farewell—loud cheers —for he was justified lsX the poll. and the ifencral. feelings of the people of West-- minster, in plactn o . , himself bthre them as the firm sup- • porter of their rights and liberties.—Besides the imbed interests, and the base modes resoetml-lb, the Eleetost had to regret the falling off of now of their staunch supporters.—Fries of " Wished." Mi Wishart was always a Whig. and therefore could nut be condemned. —Cries of " Sturch '—The dereliction of pu'olie ilstr committed by that Gentleman was indeed a surprbe. Their's (the Reformers) was the day of triumph: a tri umph which he wonld nit resign for the paltry result of a contested electio 1. He now took leave of the Electors of Westminster with increased est2em, and, he trusted, more c;osely connect. d than ever with them from this struggle, in whicn they had joined heart and hand in restoring the constitutional rights of the people of England —Great applause.—The parties then IcR , the: hustings. After the election was over, the di graceful scenes of the early part of the day were tepeated; sack as throw ing of mud, stoma, &c. on all that appeared partisans' of Mr. La.nb. The mob at last attacked the house 'hi which Mr. Lamb's Committee used to meet, demolished 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 milk by a person inside the house, struck a baker ou the head, knocked him down, and produced a capitate stream of blood from his temple. At last a party of the Horse Guards were brought up, who succeeded in dispersing the mob without violence. A small ass, belonging to J. Weak, of Poplar, 37 in c h e s high, was backed, far a wager of 20 guineas,.to. be rode by his son, to perform nine miles within the b )ur. The rider and donkey, with its equipmenrs, the time of starting, weighed 1331ba--Ethe asa 104 and the boy, saddle and bridle, st.}—!t .tarred Wednesday. at one o'clock, from the IA mile stone in the town of r:cmifarrl, and arrived at the three mile etone at Stratford two minutes before two ; haring performed the task in 58 minutes. From its diminitive size it excited great astonishment.
