YINTIMDAY was the day of nomination for a Re presentative for the City of Westminster, in the room of Sir Samuel Romilly. For some time John Cam Hohhouse, Esq. seemed to be the Lord of the .As.vndant, and it was supposed would come in under the wing of Sir Francis Burden without a competi tor. But of late a Candidate has started up, nue:. pntedly, in the person of the Hon. George Lamb-- whose political principles, we believe, are those of the Opposition.

V E TI* - SA f ists7T The business for the election of a Burgess to serve in Parliament for the City of Westminster began this morning. The erection of the hustings having only commenced at a late h - mr last night, a temporary stage was fixed for the acanumodation of the Candidates and their friends, and a numerous body of constables were stationed to preserve order. 'The High Bailiff read the Speaker's Warrant, and the Act relative so Elec tions After which Mr. Hobhonse came forward, sup ported by Sir Francis Burdett and the Hon. Douglas Ki • _ _ Sir F Burdett said, that, in compliance with the general wishes tithe Electors of Westminster, he pre sented himself to discharge his duty towards them. It was not his intention to tresspass upon their time ; but should wait till he heard what other Candidates ( fur they were to eepect several) might advance. For his own part, his principles and professions had long been known to them, and had met with their support. After the arduous strut ale in which they had lately tri umphed, when so man y artifices had been put in faire to promote schism among the friends of freedom, he had entertained the hope, that when a meeting was pro. posed to ceusult upon the measures necessary to secure ' the end tier which they laboured, no person would have interfered to me berme the cause so worthy of their efforts Radical Reform. That object embraced their rights; and it had been generally admitted that Mr. Hobhouse was, beyond all others, the most efficient man to labour for their interests, and to him their votes had been, he might say, almost universally pledges'-. (Con fused shouts.) Every measure that prudence could dictate, and energy pursue, had met with their co operation to secure his return. The Electors of IVest. minter had had every opportunity of knowing his character and his principles. It was now too late to risk the independence of their city upon any precarious grounds, or to encourage delay in securiag the cause they had in view ; already a Whig Candidate had started up; he supposed he was inimical to the estab lishment of what alone would rescue them from thral dom, Radical Reform ; it might be expected, that on Monday a Court Candidate would be declared. Now was the time for them to shove the real spirit by which they were animated ; for he could not but admit, that they had suffered their firmness to be shaken during the late contest. He fully anticipated a completo victory in the struggle they were ow the eve of com mencing ; and that they would evince how dear their liberties were to them, by returning else nan who knew how to guard them, and whom he had the honour to propose to their suffrages. The Hon. Douglas Kinnaird said, he cc* forward agreeably to long established form ; for a Candidate must be seconded as well us nominated, anti he had been requested by a numerous body of the Electors of Westminster to second Mr. Fitobliou•e. In ho nouriheing himwith their wishes hewas coevinced they were aware that he could advance nothing which could add strength to their animation in the great cause of freedom ; but they knew that he (the Hon. D. Kin naird) would be gratified and proud to have his services enlisted in the contest, He would say, that as a firm friend to Radical Reform, he would vote for Mr. Hobe house ; for he was a Radical and intelligible Reformer ; eel .nch w.s his entire cenfidence in his principles, that he would inhesitatieely subscribe his name to the pruteip es u which he knew he would act. He concluded by seconding the nomination of J. C Hub• house, EMI Mr. Hohhouse next addressed the assemblige. He had come, he said, to redeem a pledge made three months ago to the Electors of Westminster. He had then declared to them, that he would hr limed et the post which had so often witnessed thCr tai amphs ; there he was, and he know it world never Le sullied by his presence. Sir Murray Maxwell had also redeemed his pledge ; be had told theta he would not again teeseer there, and he (Mr. II.) undercood ti,..:: he was reida r there personsdly nor represented by proxy. whu had been misled at the late straegle, we et: pet - - bees congratulate themselves upon his absence, and he took renne credit to himself that his own ceertioas bed eeu instrumental in inducing hint to relircelish the field. The accomplishment of this victory, he was aware, belonged to them ; it had been partially elm. mene: 01, and their free and manly efforts would triumph. as beretofore. Adverting to his mover and seconder. Mr. H. observed, that he was proud of his associates; their aid was powerful, and their principles t:ied and known to all: with the blessing of Providence upon their exertions, they could not fail. He trusted it was no arrogance in him to say, that he bad been chosen by the people, was one of the people, aid stood there to do the work of the people. The cause of liberty was atave the horizon, and every thing predicted success. He had said, that when he appeared upon the hustings, he would enquire of them whether they thought him competent.—(Cheers, mixed with cries of No ! No !) —On Tuesday last, he had inked the same question ; there were then present upwards of 1300—and, with the exception of about 12, they unanimously declared in 10 foyouis Wm it that gmungticm is brat to ap- F1.'.11.1 pear before them ? (some interraption) there he would remain, ant remain firm to the last moment. If dis. union prevailed, it was not imputable to him—the fault was not his—if so, he shout, t! in himself a traitor to thair liberties; he was incajable of sacrificing the Li- Wrest of those fr•ieads who should place hint in the proud situation of their representative. He eatertaimi no unworthy wish to be popular; he would do his duty, It was to be lamented that feuds had ken foit eze s and were now to be brought into action ; but he ag►in declared it was not his fault. Another Candidate, ha understood, would be immediately proposal ; and•per_ haps after his example, several others; the cry with .:11 of them will doubtless he—no corruption ! no bribery ! His own intention was, to labour in the cause of WO. cal Neform.A person inquired what he meant by Midi. cal Reform ? He thanked his friend fur making thr.4 inquiry; he called him friend, for be would Ycont onswer an enemy. He thought the question of Sa fi-age was the second consideration for the people to look to ; (hisses) it was his idea, that an extension might he made of the right of Sulr, wlihout melting, rt inn. vernal ; and it would be bjneficial to the people in the preservation of their rights, an•l that would lead to Reform. 110 was not so absurd as to entertain the idea of Annual Parliaments; but he declared he saw no utility in loan' Parliaments ; and in his view they might be shortened with advantage. He belonged to. no party whatever; (cheers) but he hoped he should merit their favour, as he would labour earnestly to restore to them the share they had lost in the direction of their own affairs. On Mr. Hohhouse retiring, Hunt abruptly jumped upon the hustings. He was greeted with general his.. ses and cries of—O6 I off! you have deserted vo , w colours ! The Deputy Bailiff inquired if he was there as a Candidate, or if he intended to move for, or mond, the nomination of any Candidive ? On his reply, which we did not hear, the Deputy Bailiff signified to him that he must quit the stage ; which the Orator complied with. _ _ Mr. Nicholson- came forward and pmpotcd Major Cartwright—aud was seconded by a Mr. Bowie, Mr. lamb then ciund• forward, supported by Mr. M•Donald and Mr. Evans. They were received with cries of No Whigs L and some applause. Mr. Nl'l ionald in addressing the rneetimg said, they would find in the man he had the honour to prorie (Mr. Lamb) one who was in every respect worthy of their .sutfrages. Mr. Evans, after the manner in which Mr: Lamb. had been proposed by his Honourable Friend, felt that he bad bet little to do. Every one felt that Westmiti. ster, in Clic death of Sir S. Romilly, hat sustained a loss which it was impossible to remedy, but which then . were.now to do their best to diminish. Three Ceindi dates had this day been put in nomination—ant he had expected a tburth to present himself is the person of Mr. hunt—rand had this happened, the Fdecturs would not have failed to prove to that worthy person in what estimation his merits were held. Major Cart.. wright was not there. One of his frierelq had given him credit fora new gealiflcation for a .41. P. They had been told that the Nltt . ;or could walk 20 miles in a day (Laughter)—but though he .could perthrm this task, be had not been able to walk to those hustice,es. He wiahed the Electors of Westminster to look at the situa tion in which thia country would have been placed, if the ideas of that Gentleman had been acted upon. They would then see what delusions he had laboured under, and of what serious importance it would have been to the people of England had be been attended to. They all knew how much the country had suffered flenn most grieding impost, the Property ['ax. V:; ten a meet iug called in Palace-yard, to petition agetinst it, Major Cartwright, instead of Lrin,rtirring the ge neral voice, held it weless to take the courac propass.al, and exclaimed. " stud' and nanselse—pay your taxes, stud seek relief in a Iladioal Rethrm of the House oe Ilea his opinion been acted upon, tifty-nne millions.of money would have been deawa from ti.. herd earrtis of his countrymen, awl they would hava Le en mulated at their weekly pay-tables to satisfy that old and silly politiarian. They had been told of Mr. flobhouse's splendid ta leenellut, how, he would ask, had th:e.: talents been csorcised ? He had used them but to detract from the glory of his countrymen. Nothing would have brought him ;Mr. (;vans) foravalq Clis day hut the Ereneh— the Itevolu.ionary principles, of whi.ll he (Mr. Hob house) Led appeared the advocate. All those whom he heal the honour to address, an all L• n,; must, admired the glory won by the battle of Waterloo. All the nations of the Continent, even the French theru. selves, admired the conduct of the Duke of Wellington on that great day ; and the humanity with which the victors treated the wounded who fell into their hands,. had been the subject of general praise; yet for that brilliant triumph, Mr. Hobhouse had been able to find no better name than " the carnage of St:John." Mr. Hebhouse denied the tr,;ih of this ststcment_ Mr. Lambe said, no man could be more sensible of the importance of those duties which the electors were now assembled to pertbrm; and none could more highly appreciate the splendid talents and spotkss in terity ef their let Berreseatetive.
