P it Amain theta for past f.vours, and soliciting their future sapport.—(Appluove.) Mr. WAITIrnaN ruse amidst the cheering of the populace and the Livery below the hustings, which continued for • considerable time before he could be heard. He observed. that so far as the election had as yet proceeded, the poll chewed the clearest manifestation of public opinion. Notwithstanding whatever had been done on the part of other* to M oire their success, by using every source of interest and influence that could possibly be brought to bear upon their minds, still the poll *hewed that tlwreeleul taken place a very great change in public opinion, or at least that the Livery had become more alive to the conduct, or rather misconduct of Orme who had hitherto been the represeentative• of i.s isitesests.—( Load oppLanse.)—Whether lie were at the top or the bottom of the poll was i matter of perfect indifference to I' *elf. He would not give the toss of a halfpenny to choose whethef he should become a Member of the !louse of Commons, •r not ; but he moat tell them that the present contest was one which mast be intended by the mortifica- Von or the triumph of their own feelings. It much concerned the Livery, and the feelings of the Livery, to chew that they had it in their power, isotwith 'lauding all the influence which had bees resorted to with a view to bias their judgment. or warp the exertion of the elective franchise, to elect such men from ,amongst their own body as should fairly represent their sentiments end opi nion. in Parliament.—(Centineed opplunse.)— If he were ambitions of a high situation upon the poll, it did not proceed from ally desire to gratify a personal vanity or personal ambition, or from any wish to triumph over the feelings of others. tint be was, end they too were well swore that hie uame was so intimately and inseparably c 11111 l feted with the various struggles made by the Livery of London to recover itself from the abject state into which the system of influence and corruption bail plunged it, that it was not to be wondered at his name amongst the candidates, should excite a greater opposition amongst the friends of that in fluence and corruption, than any other name 'unworn that body put together.-i-IShowis of applause j—l n proportion, therefore, to the strength of that oppo sition. which he had reason to apprehend from the enemies of the liberties of the Livery, he felt lie was entitled to call upon theta for their most strenuous support.--( Apploose.)-- Indeed of their applause in that Hall. therefore lie called upon them to exert themselves in the common cense of the Candidate and the Electors. He con jured them to exert themselves in every possible means to resist the bias mud constraint which would, no doubt, be amply exercised. to paralyse the praiseworthy efforts of the sound part of the Livery. These were the grounds upon which he bad felt it his duty to touch, in order to apprise them of their possible danger. He recommended them, there fore. to be active until he should again ave the pleasure of seeing them. and be stirring with t.ie lark, so as to make the best of the short time which now remained. and rescue the first city in the world from the trammels which had (peso long • time been so digracefully imposed upon her.— [Upou the couclusiou of this speech the Hall for souse time re-echoed with cheering, clapping of hands, and cries of " Waithman for ever!") Mr. Alderman Tooar felt deeply sensible of the high Honour conferred osi him by the Livery. iii placing hide so high on the poll upon the second dry. He still =ad all the support his friends could possibly hire. of whose frieridly exer tions no man weld be more gratefully conscious. He knew be was indebted for their friendly solici tude and zeal. to the smaiments of independence which they well knew he bad always cherished. and to his love of liberty.—( Load cheers ) Three had been the great principles by which he bad squared his actions through life ; and in these principles he hoped he should die.—(Apploast.) Sir WM. CU rile rose amidst the most discordant clamour, consisting of hisses, groans. and frightful howlings, and was with difficulty enabled; by strength of lungs, to make him.elf audible to our reporter. He thanked the Gentlemen of the Livery for the lionour they had conferred on him by the support they had already given him.—( Here his owe terawie incoopetent to overpower the elamioar iadieotire of the disapprobation of the ntoltitnrk.)— He was sorry they were not disposed even to hear him return them his thanks for the kinditesS done him. He had a high respect for them notwith standitig.—(Here again fur a while his voice was droicned.l—' , Well, then," said he, " if you won't hear ine, good afternoon, Gentlemen." Mr. Alderman ATKINS rose, amidst the most violent clamour we have ever witnessed upon any occasion—it was impossible to catch a whole sere. truce of what he uttered, although our reporter sat so close to him as to be within reach of him. He assured the Livery he was not discouraged, although at the foot of the poll. He was not dismayed.—. He eritttated'hiv friends to bring up those who wish. ed him success us soon as possible to the poll, and if they Should do so, he did not fear but that be should noon stand iii a very different situation from that iii 'itch he was now placed. Upon the Livery of London alone he relied to extricate him from the unpleasant situation in *lnch be that day stood, and to new Livery alone he then addressed himself.... Every mark of dissatisfaction. contumely, and res. mooch, now burst forth with such irresistible vio. tenet., that the candidate, after shipping his hood against his left side, acid waving his hand over his head two or three times, concluded it was in Vein to attempt to make himself heard, and retired off the hustings. The meeting then concluded, and notice wits given of its re -commencement at nine o'clock to morrow morning (Thursdm). On leaving the Hall, Mr. Alderman Wood was conducted on foot by his friends, who cheered bun all the way to his Committer -room. Mr. Minimum was drawn by the crowd in a with - ,of his fi; - • • stand that Mr. W)att hat declined the contest for the latter plsee, • but that soother candidate arrived there on Monday evening, in order to appose Mews. Ileygate and Broadhurst. The tlay of nomination fur Representatives of Sofrolk is appointed for Tuesday the 23i 'mit. The Election will he on Feats , the 46 , 11. The Right lion. N. Vansittart, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the Right atm. C. Bathurst, are expected to come in for Harwich without oppo sition. The latter in the room of John iiiley Ad dington, EN. deceased. We learn that Ilythe will certainly fie contested. The seine tainciple of delicacy and. honour which originally prevented Mr. INNES from avowing him self a Candidate, still keeps him away—his friends, however, are zealous in his canoe. On Friday Idol JOSEPH MARETATE. Ell. and Sir GEO. WAREENDER, Candidates for the representa tion of Sandwich, were met at Ash, alma three miles from that town, by their respective toininittees, and ■ number of other freemen. At Canterbury•. gate the horses were unharnessed, and the carriages drawn into Sandwich. A Cominon Hall was then assembled by the Mayor, the writ directing the return of two Members to serve in the new Parliament was read, the Freedontif the town (au honour usually coo. tarred on new Representatives) was voted to Sir G. W•aaENDEn.• The Candidates were put in nomi nation, and their names received with loud accle. mations; after which each of them addressed the Freemen in an appropriate stretch. They were then attended to their Inns with bends of music and colours; flags waved from the houses of the princi pal inhabitanta, the windows were filled with lA dies to view the procession ; the spectacle was bril liant—the weather floe—cud the proceedings of the day were crowned withharinony and unaminitf. 79; s LON DON, THURSDAY. Jura 18. 1818. The Election for the City proceeded yesterday at Guildhall amidst uproar and tumult, which, however, were strictly confined to the vociferous expression of applause or disapprobation. Wiwi WOOD. WID6OII, WAITHMAN, and THORP, .till appear to be the favourites. To give • more accu rate idea of the progress of the Election, and the proportion hitherto observed in the giving of votes, we shall present the state of the Poll at different periods : _ 11 &Clock. It o'Clock. 1 o'Clock. 3 *TWA. Aid. W00d.... 318 Mr. Wi150a..... 299 Mr. Waltham 300 Aid. Thorp .... 299 Aid. Curtis .... 286 Aid. Autism.. 190 It thus appears that Mr. WILSON has gained considerably, as has Sir Wu. Cuatts also; but Alderman Wools has left all his rivals at an im mense distance. Of the result of the contest, it would be quite impossible to form an opinion at this early period—but, as far as we have been enabled to collect the prevailing sentiments of the Livery, it would seem that the City of London feels heartily disgusted with the conduct pursued by the late Parliament, and is determined that its next Representatives shall in every respect deserve that name. This day Mr. Wswistam's friends, we understand, will make a great exertion to raise their favourite above the chances of the contest. I lis election will prove a great triumph to the friends a %'; Candidate, which confirms In some. degree Isis public disclaimer of su unity of interest vvitli any one of the Candidates. Some ill-judging Friends, he said, had associated his 1111111 e with Sir Wm. CURTIS and Alderman AVE! NS. the Government Candidates, but he totally disavowed any connexion with them. Of Alderman THORP. we shall only say, that his promises are fair, and that they are welt sustained by his conduct in life, as a just, good, honourable, and independent wan. The tumult and bustle of the Election were yes terday confined to the precincts of Guildhall. The streets leading to the place of action were not very remarkably crowded, but the scene was enlivened by the floating of Wigs from time windows of houses where the rival Committees are sitting, and by the parading of placards, displaying the claimas of time several Candidates. This day the Election for Westminiter will com mence at nine o'clock in front of Saint Paul's Church, Covent-garden. This Election is the most popular in England, realising almost the theory of universal suffrage. The electors amount to seven teen thousand, and from the peculiar nature of the present contest, it may he expected that few possess ing the privilege of voting will hesitate to exercise it. Two objects are to be at the same time attained by the independent electors—freedom from the in fluence of Government, aud, what is no less im portant, freedom from the dictation of a self-cbn stituted Junta, who hove the presumption, from past indulgence, to think of nominating the two Mem kr* for this extensive City ! Both objects, we feel confident, will be secured. fur the election of Sir SAMUEL can hardly be a matter of doubt. It is • remarkable circumstance, and one which we think ought to have some influence on the Elec tors of Westminster, that in an Address to the Electors of the City of Coventry, the conduct of Sir SAMUEL RUMILLY, in Parliament, is made the test for trying the merits of the late Coventry Members. The Address says, that 4 , Sir SAMUEL. ROMILLY has spent half the term of human life in endeavours to ameliorate human misery, and im prove the condition of man." Such is the testi mony tame to his exertions in Parliament, by a disinterested person and we never can imagine that the merits of our distinguished Candidate will be more highly appreciated in another city, than in that of Westminster, which gave him birth. We have ri ceived Purls Papers of Sunday last. An article from Madrid states, that an ex pedition his at length sailed from Cadiz fur South America, but it consists only of 2,000 men, and a frigate, • force as large, we believe, as the present stated Spain can afford to send, but too contempt ible to effect any important object on the vast Con tinent of South America.

" Gud save Nee King" was called for, and was executed ie the entire strength of the house, vocal and instrumen tal. During the evening their Royal Highoesses paid the greatest attention to the 'warn-matters. The Royal Duke, from lime to time, appeared busily employed in explaining to the Dodos:4 such parts of the entertainments, as a want Of familiarity with the Eti;;:isli lauguage rendered obscure. The Duchess of CAMBRIDGE is a (frit cately formed and interesting W 04111141. The !lei s:ve predominates in her countenance. She was dressed ill black—and a plasm Ostrich feather was the only ornament she wore in her heir. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE was also in mourning. lie looked ex tremely well, and seemed to rojoy the amusements of the evelling very touch. Some allusions to mar riage, to politius, and to the fast able system of the west end of the town, which occur in the co medy, excited his hearty laughter. Mr. KEAN, eadma Glenroy, plsytd his principal settles wilt furre and feeling. The interview with his brothel, iu which he prevents hint front ctionmitting suicide that which follows with Musiir, the temporary de stroyer of his grace—and the concluding scene with Rosalie Somers—were finely acted, and were much applauded.

Accounts from Madrid of the 2I June, state, that an expedition, composed of thirteen vessels, escorted by a frigate of war, with two thousand troops, sailed from Cadiz en the 21st of May. This expedition, it is said, proceeds to Lima, and that a second is preparing. From the 29th of April to the end of May, there passed through Mayence, emigrating to America, 295 persons, of whom 91 were men, 39 women, and 145 ch►ldren.

He reviewed the troops assembled in the camp of Terespol, near Renders among whom were thirty regiments of infantry. His Ma jesty was so satisfied with the flourishing condition of Odessa that he dispatched a chasseur of his guard as a courier to Paris, to convey to the Duke of Richelieu a letter, written with his own hand, in which he expresses to title founder of Odessa his lively gratitude. The Emperor assigned two millions of roubles for the construction of a lazaretto and an aqueduct.
