Mr. Lamb was now lousily Called fur—but Lord Weil. Rueseet, (brother to the I of Bedford) stepped forward. Considerable diseppoint mesa was inatelfested at Mr. Lamb's tint coming forward, in obedience to the call aside 111 I • , and unfortunately the multitude in front of the hustings were sit buisterous, that it was tumid im possible to render audible among them the illus. • thous name of the Noblemen who stood solicitous to abeam a heisting.

This was very singular, ler if the !Immutable Catirlidete haul not explained Its 'mimeo! sen timents during ell his speeches, in a three months canies', it was difficult to miderstaird what he had been at." Mr. Lamb then proceeded to state, that if in being charged wish belosiging to a potty, it was ',testa to be toslostatre. that he therefore placed his principles out lot the vale or his own discretion, moil in the hands of a leader, the insinuation was false, ha principles should he ever his own, and lie trusted they would ever be found to scentd with the b es t ioterrets of his country.—(Applense.)— He would be Numd in the reeks of the Whigs, be cause lie believed the principles of three Gentlemen first suited the geisiur of the British Constitution.

Mr. ETA's' (the seconder of Mr. Lamb) advanced to address tile IVlee! nig, but Mr. HUNT having previously stepped to the trout of the hustings, maintained his g I, and ad dressed the Meeting.

Mr. TuEl.wAt./. also addressed the Meeting in behalf of the pretensinits of Mr. Hohltousi. Sir CHARLES WoLsEtatsr was, however, alone able to obtain a learnig. lie said, that lie was five minutes ag.., to use ass old We otaninster phrase, •' iu a great look," but viewing the good-natured faces of the crowd before ham, anal feeling his heart in the right place, asal his praliciples firmly devoted to the liberties of the people, lie took courage, said all his tears were slow vanished.— (Appluuse.)— lle felt it duly to come forward oo the pi esent occasion, and he did so tor the purpose of proving that Mr. Hoblionse was a political launalnag—he also meant to prove that Sir Francis Burdett was equally sn.—( Lnughter, murmurs, and applause.)— %V heti a friend of Major Cartweigha's had told them on Saturday that Sir F. Burdett evaa first of all a friend to universal suffiage, to voting by bal lot, and to annual parliaments, the worthy Baro net distinctly gave a negative to his holding any of these °Mammas. This was very strange. Dail lie or did he nut, ma a late public occasion, eve, and in las place in Parliament, avow each of the three upioneins winch lie on Saturday dncluimed ?- -(Cries 4r " Yes, he did.")—lt was his (sir C. 11'allseley'r) object to sheet that Sir F. Bilideit %;19 one thing to-day and another to - morrow, and in deed his political child, Mr. fitelihouse, gave pro nose of being the same. To •hew the facility with ;Oath Sir F. Burdett could change his sentiments, fir would only beg leave to read one of the Reaolu tions which lie moved in the House of Commons, on the .2d of June last:— " That it is exprdient and necessary to !Omit to a partici pation in the Elective Suffrage, all such persons us losing of the male sea, of mature age, and of Pl/111111 miuJ , shid I, during a determinate time antecedent to the day iif election, have been resident, either as householders or inmates, 14 'thin the district or place iu which they were called upon to vole."—(Applaate.) Surely, if ever words were put together which had any meaning at all, these words mast he taken as upplynig to what was understood by the terms " Suffiage." What did the Hon. Baronet memo then when he said No to the allusions inAde to his itulitical declarations on Saturday ? See then is, what a shameful condition Sir Francis Burdett placed himself, Mr. lloblionse and the Rump—shame upon them for being so placed at public view !—(Marazurs and applause.)—M r. lloblinuse talked of bring tortured with tines antis on Saturday. With what questions ? Wes it lousing IJniversal Suffrage and A tumid Portia limnenta dunned into his ears? If that were the case, he did not wonder at Mr. Hobliouse, coml. tiering himself tortured by any idlusams to sack tender points. Many honest electors got disgusted at this conducte—a very worthy man, Mr. George Wilson, a boot-maker in Little Witidmill-strert, Guldeti-stioare, had made this declaration, us he voted to-day for Major Cartwright. " I was eau vassed many months ago," said honest %Yawn, " by Mr. ilubliuuse's friends—they said his princi ides were those of Sir F. Burdett, and the Radical Refuriners. They put my mane down no their list; but when I heard that Major Cartwright was to he proposed, the motorist I heard that, and found out the real principles of Sir F. Burdett and Mr. Hobhouse, I %vent to their Cminattee, arid ordered my name to he struck out of their books. I desired it to be struck nut of their horrible darkened page.—(Much laughter.)-1 come here not to give a vote to Burdett% maii, because he who forgets an old friend does not de serve trust. Ido not like a snake in the grass. I gave a plumper to Burdett at Ilia lost election, but I out now very sorry for it." Such were the senti ments of honest Wilson, amid every plain fair man will mark them with his assent. They had heard Mr. Hohhouse names; but such 'seasons should take care how they dealt in name-culling. Of the two Candidates who had spoken, he (Sir Charlet) would most decidedly recommend a preference to Mr. Lomb, and he would tell them why, as honest Wilson did, because hr did tint like a snake in the grass. Mr. Lamb avowed he was a Whig--he came forward iti a lair open way, while Mr. Hub house came under another's wing, and trusted to another's influence. lu preference to all he would recunimeod Mtsjor Cartwright ; but, next i , decidedly Mr. Lamb taught to have their suffrages. —(Appluuse.) Mr. WOOIAR aruh that such an assembly as that lie now addressed reminded him of the splendid efftrts of Rome, asserting the susjesty of the Hootiaii people.--(Appkuw.)—They were not worthy of the name of Englishmen if they could not feel like Englishmen when their libeities were in danger.—(App/,jute./—They lord now three Candidates before them. Oil them he hoped they would exercise their judgment, and that too with severity. Let them be uu longer deluded by pin mises—let them speak out, and hurl their bolt—it would fall with tells-fold vengeance on the guilty head. The time hail now arrived when, if the peo ple did not deceive themselves, olio A could neither be deceived nor betrayed by nth, r.. The people wormed a Radical Reform, and with tooihing Ire than a Radical Reform would they be satisfied. ‘Vestraiiiister had long been the advocate of the pure principles of general freedom, without being governed by the petty distinctions of party. Mr. %Voider avowed that nothitig short of a suffrage, C/.-rxtroisive with the natural right of mom, ought to satisfy the people. He was dileilitisetl. after what Mr. Hubliouse said about Radical Reform, that hr should have so qualified it as to make it no IMorm at all.. He then ridiculed Mr. Hothouse's definition of his political creed, and said it was ab surd to state, that the nearer the right of garage approached the whole the better, mill tet that the inmiteut it embraced the whole it was bad. These Reformers ridiculed Major Cartwright's weapons, aid yet they hail no others to use to wield 111 sup port of their own principles.—(Appiarse.) Mr. GALE JONEs then manifested a desire to ad dress the Meeting, but it being six (o'clock, and quite dark, the must effectual way of manifesting dreorocluortion to hear biro was made by the crowd separating, alter gising repeated cheers. r ~ AMERICA.
