THE BRITISII PRESS. LONDON, THURSDAY, MARcif 4, 1819. Mr. LAMB was yester•ia, •e'erl Member for the City of IVestmintiter by a large majority. TI e proceedings of the day up to the conclus;on of the business at the hustiogs are civet' in our pr. eeiliog Columi., Sir FRANCIS BUIWILTT and :Mr. 11013.• HOT .i• m ired frern the scene soon after loin. lurk. T: e crowd did not so easily disperse; con•iiler able numbers still continued to move :about in the vicinity of Covent-garden, and the windows of Mr. LAMB'S Committee-room, in Hentietta-Areet, were broken. Mr. BIRNIE, the Magistrate, 01. some of the Constables, were also assailed with mud by some persons in the crowd, and it wa • found necessary to call out a company of the Her-e Guards, who continued to patrol the streets in Cie neighbourhood of Covent-garden throughout the evenieg. Groupes of individuals, chiefly eonsi.t ing of lot k-pockets, ae imagine, continued num ...tonally to disturb the neighbourhood with their noise until a late hour of the evening. We re gret to state, that Lord ‘‘..lLLlabt RUSSELL, I. nit SEFTON , and some other Gentlemen, who at tended on horseback to accompany Mr. I.ASt 3 from the hustings, received some press al injuly in the course of the day, from blov.s of stone,, which were thrown at them with mud, as they rode up towards the hustings. About nine o'clock the populace, in crest force, consisting principally of boys, proceeded to St. James's-square, where they broke the windows of Lord CASTLEICEAGH. They next visited the British Hotel in Coekspur-street, which they salter d in like mariner. Advancing up the Strand, they at tacked The courier Of f ice and broke its windows. After pitying a like compliment to The Mcrning Chronicle Office, on the opposite side of the street, they proceeded up Newcastle-street, and di nrili,lnd the windows of Mr. LAMB'S Committee-riarn for Ike Parishes of St. Mary and St. Clement II iiie..— Continuiog their route up Great Busse 11- , :rrei, they commenced a like attack upon the Snak siware 'cavern ; but a large force of constables be ing on the spot, their career was shipt, and they here dispersed. In all this course the rioters did not molest passengers, or cotninit any other violence. Much mischief, however, was apprehentltd, happily prevented by the gond senor of Mr. LA stn and hie friends, in postpotiiiig the et ttineny chairing to a future da). Had nut that usual form been declined. we fear from the irritation of the forenoon, great mischief would have ensued. So strong were the public apprehensions on this sub ject, the shops in the Strand, and the other streets through winch the procession was expected to move, were closed, and business appeared fur the moment entirely at a staid. The Paris Papers of Sunday last, .Lich have arrived at our Office, cot‘tant a hes witch was submitted on Saturday, by M.
