Ile was univil bog to enter into the field of political discussion ; tint lie could not help observing, that the measures hell out as expedient by the Reformists did not form any part of the ('onstitution of this country. The principles of the Constitution haul led to pie-eminence on the part of this country—to vie torn after victory—aud to the defeat of military and plower;derponc that despotic power, it aliould be remembered, had been the result of the labours of those who had started in France as Reformer', without reference to any principles of sound polio us, legt•liatiou....-(Hisses.)—He concluded with as • them that Sir M.

The Itulh, he congratulated Ohs m, was crowding iii strength, and its result. lie hail no &Ott, would be favourable to the cause of the gallant Captain.--ITlre latter part of this speech was attended with groans, hisses, and every species of turbulent indignity. Here the remains of the car of Sir M. Maxwell were at once brought into the thickest part of the crowd, sod occasioned u considerable degree of irri tation and tumult. The carriage was by violent exertion at length completely torn to pieces, and tranquillity being partially restored, Mr. IticnaaosoN, sem rose and apologised for trespasaing on their patience when so many other better speakers were about to address them. He wished to address them solely with a view to huma nity. As to the outrage committed upon Sir Mar ivy Maxwell, he considered all those assaults and itsdicatioris of violent popular displeasure, as so twiny votes lost to the advocates of Reform. He recommended an abstinence from all personal vio lence, sod particularly alluded to an attack made upon a carriage that day at Charing-crosa, which had been canvassing at the west end of the town. The carriage was pelted and covered with dirt. Such conduct could only proceed from their ene mies. Ou the opposite side, he had to regret the seirpPoorsucr of a cavalcade about the west end of the town, consisting of some men on horseback and loot, and a large boat, on wheels, accompanied by 30 or 40 persons, in sailors' clothes, and armed with slicks, in a regular procession. He did not believe they were sailors, and, in fact, be had been informed that the greater pert of theta were Irish chairmen. Ile considered it a sub ject of regret, and almost pity, that • naval officer should have recourse to such support. The conduct was unworthy of.hirn; and he should at all event- recollect, that he had never appeared to be invested with either the popularity or the pretest icons of a Hood, a Gardner, or a Cochrane.— (Load shoals of applause.) Mr. STURCH admitted hie had heard nothing ut tered by the advocate of Sir Murray Maxwell; but believed if he had, it would have been equally iniworthy of reply.—(Hear, hew.)—'Tie state of the poll that day indicated that they would spec tidy arid finally defeat all the efforts of the enemy. --ttleering.)--.He did not here allude personally .I. to the 'lolled erntaio, fmt to the worst of ene mies, eir.tlereattit and Co.—(.4pplitorr.) —One ap proved of Plivrlett—rnother of Hominy.

When Mr. Walker retired, several calls were made on Mr. Bruce, but that Gentleman did not think proper to come forward. idle.

This day they lad polled the most, and lie hoped they would to-morrow bring up a supe o i 000 number. Ile cautioned the Electors to beware of division, which w a s the object of their esiemies ; they acted on the principle—divide and govern ; and if they suffered themselves to be deceived by their arts it might be fatal to the interests of Westminster. He hoped they would return the two friesols of freedom, and should not nun detain them longer, ac his valuable friend, Mr. Smith. of Norwich, was next about to address them.

Hominy could not justly be' angry with them. He believed they had trot solicited them, but they had divided nearly e,OOO votes with the Court Candidate. Besides, supposing that, by some misfortune, the Court Candidate should mount highest, Sir Francis Burdett would then have to contend against Sir Samuel Itomilly. The friends of the latter gentleman had disgraced his cause by giving public breakfast.; they were conducted by three very respectable grits tlemen, but if they reflected, they would perceive it was discreditable in the extreme. Sir Francis Burdett's Committee had not money to spare. and if they had, they would turn it to other purpose.. He had lost a number of votes because the 'moor fel lows who had them were of honest hearts, but poor pockets. He had lately seen one man who hail come somedistance to vote, but was prevented, because he bad not paid his poor rates--(" Awne,name name was Stephen Aldred. Many votes for Sir F.
