While we lament the errors of senators ke Baouotien, 111.textrirosit, Hume, &e., we detest the factious and inconsistent behaviour of such men as III:NT and CODBETT. We cannot agree with Sir FRANCIS /4t. POET 7 and Sir Roam WILSON, when they flatter the passions of a Westminster or Southwark mob, by tirades against the Scotch and the Government; but we recognize with pleasure many generous traits in their characters, vbich do honour to the English as a nation. In such men a.s II It NT and Cone ETT, if we except the faculty, which they certainly possess, of prcducing an impression upon tile crowd, we can sec none of these redeeming qualities; we can give them credit neither for depth of penetration nor generosity of purpose. We should certainly lament the admission of such men as these to the deliberative as sembly of a great nation : but we have too much confidence in the sound judgment of the English people, even among the lowest orders, to suppose for a moment that such will lbe t! ,e result of the election in Somerset, or at Preston. Our countrymen may smile at the shrewdness of COBBE re end the impudence of Huwv ; but they are too well a eutre of the necessity of other qualities in their Repre sentatives ever to confide their interests to such deans gloves as these, and we consider it almost superfluous to make any remarks on the subject. In this respect, as well as on some other recent occasions, we have been led to dif fer from those who generally agree with us in their opi- ' Mons. We never thought it probable that these men would be successful, and we should almost consider it a l.hel on the English people to intimate such a suspicion. The poll at Preston has hitherto justified us in our conchs mons, and till the relative situation of the Candidates suffir a very considexable alteration, we shall not, probably, think it necessary again to address the public on the sub ject.—l t must be extremely gratifying to ail friends of so eral order to learn that the Yorkshire Election is not to be tamtented. For our parts we can see no difference of opi nine between the contending parties, in most of Elections, soff.cient to justify a Candidate in provoking a popular contest which could answer no purpose, if carried on sue- Lessfully, but that of personal aggrandizement.

(Signed) "JOSEPH GARCIA." Wiwnsoa, dusts lt.—The King paid a visit to the Castle yesterday afternoon, to observe the progress of the different works. The Clerk of the Works, &c. was in waiting to receive his Majesty. Some of his Majesty's visiters alighted from the phaeton and went over the build ing. After remaining some time, the King, accompanied by his visiters, returned to the Lodge to dinner. His Majesty's band went to the Lodge yesterday evening, for die purpose of performing some choice pieces of music. We are happy to state that the following favourable ac count of the state of the Duke of York's health was given by Sir Henry Halford, on attending the Royal Duke yester day, that " his Royal Highness had passed a good night, and was much better." The Royal Duke continued con fined during yesterday, and received visits in the course of the day from the Princess Augusta, the Princess Sophia, and the Duchess of Gloucester. Mr. Szcretary Canning left Downing-street on Tues day, on r visit to the Earl and Countess of Liverpool, at Coombe Wax'.

Tits FINE ARTS. —We understand that the Directors of the British Institution have presented to the National Gallery the celebrated pictures by Partnegiano and Paul Veronese. This is an act of liberality worthy of imitation and of praise. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the undermentioned ships were thus timed, riz.—Cornwall, and Lady Kennaway, for Bengal direct; and IVinchilsea, for China ;—to be afloat the 20th instant, and aail from Gravesend at the expiration of 20 days from the day of their coming afloat. C. C. Western, EN. has had lately some Merino sheep sheared, whose wool he had suffered to grow for five years; it was a foot in length when cut off, and the animals were so oppressed by its weight, that they could scarcely walk.

An article, dated Rome, May 21, states the Pope to eon. tinue in good health, and details a variety of circumstances descrip. tire of changes made in the Papal I.^gstions.

The King of Naples was understood to have been ill; but, at the above date, sae reported better. We are authorized to state, that the poll for the Univer sity of Cambridge will most unquestiouably be kept open till a late hour on Thursday night. 1 tee LATE C. M. Vow Wee en.—lt is now announced that the obsequies of this distinguished person will be celebrated to-morrow in St. Paul's Catnedral, instead ~f the Catholic Chapel in bloorfields, as was at first intended. The Rrytion, the last composition produced by the mighty genius of Mozart, and which it is intended to perform on this occasion, is, in fact, a complete service of the mass for the repoae of the soul of the deceased, (ac cording to the ritual of the Chorch of Rome), and ot course more appropriate for performance in a Roman Catholic Chapel than • Protestant Cathedral, but the difficulties to he encountered in the execution ot the former proposition were found to be insuperable. The bloorlields Chapel is under the Immediate control of Dr. Peyote, the Catholic Bishop of the boodon D'strict, hetw , en whom and the Committee superintending the pr. privations for the performance • correspondence ensued, which terminated on IE4 being ascertained that owing to the g -eat number of professors,who are desirous to assist in paying this tribute of re spect to deraned genius, it could not be accomplished at Moor fields on the extensive scale contemplated, without interfering ma terially with the existing arrangement of the chapel. St. Paul's WWI at length fixed on. where the performance of the Requiem will be heard with increased effect. The sublime passages which occur in the hymn— Dieu We. dies Ms. Salret areclurn in descriptive of the various awtul occurrences of the bast Day, may be Mere given in all their grandeur= and the performance, as a whole, cannot fail to afford a high gratification as a mutical performance, independently of the solemn interest derived from its more imme diate occasion. WESTMINSTEIb SISSION3.—The General Quarter Ses sions for the City and Liberties of Westminster will commence this morning at nine o'clock. Tit FANce.—Yesterday Crawlers benefit, at the Ten nisieourt, Windmill-street, was well attended. The favourites of the schnce were Jones, the sailor-boy. Reid, and Wallace. Jam' Buena set-to with a powerful long-srmed black, a novice in the Fire-ring, and found him a rorgb customer. Crawley, after thanking the company fur their patronage, challenged to light any man in England, which was accepted on behalf of Ward, and the fight is to take place within two months, on terms to be settled hereafter. A. eat-to between Crawley and Bidders finished the day's sport. Famat.r FASHIOSS.—It is with pleasure we have no ticed in the fashionable circlet' the prevalence of White Pressed Chip Hats, and which, we are informed, can only be had in the highest perfection at 59, llolborwhill, facing Ely.place. The novel and beautikl article invented and manufac nixed by Vyse, or Ludgate-street, in ladies' Hats and Bonnets for the Spring and Summer Fashions, is universally admired by the Fashionable World for its elegance, lightness, durability, and elasticity. Amidst all the contests which the present Elections give rise to, none will exceed in interest and intensity the struggle which will take place next month.

There W3B less of uproar and bustle at the Guildhall yesterday, than upon either of t h e preceding days of the election but the "- ertions of the respective Candidates and their friends continued with unabated animation. it is generally believed that Alderman Thompson, who is now secure of his election, will use all his influ ence in favour of Mr. Ward. if such be the case, the election of the latter Gentleman will be equally secure. The poll closed as usual at three o'clock. and at halt-past three the Sheriffs announced the yucca fur the Candidates in the following order : Thompson 4215 I Ward Wet th man 321111 The Lord Mayor Wood 3148 Varian 3123 2931 321 Alderman Tit °strw"( then came forward to address the Livery, and was received with cheers. He said it was entirely impossible for him to express, in suitable terms, the gratitude which he felt towards the Livery, far the distinguished support which he had re. ceiverl front them. It was quite unexampled in the history of City elections that so large a number of electors voted wi•hin the same period, and tf:at circumstance presented no ordinary claim of grati tude upon hiir. The only return he could make at present was, to wine them that every faculty of his mind and body should be devoted to the advancement of the trade, interests, and municipal rights of the City of Landon, anti that he would make every exer non in his power to advance the interests of every class of his fel isms. (Great cheering.) Alderman Warr RYAN Dein presented himself, and was also re ceived with applause. He said he could have very little to say to the !Avery, in addition to what he had stated on the previous day. Ile had implored them to consider the cause in which he was em. harked as their own, and as the cause of independence, and he would say, as an approach to the purity of electien. It was on that account that he sought of them to make every exertion to sustain him in that situation which he held on the poll, and he now called upon them to continue their exertions in his behalf. There was a Powerful machinery employed to support some of the Candidates He did not mesa to accuse either of those gentlemen of being parties to such contrivances (hear, hear), nor did he mean to call either of those gentlemen his adversary, because he did not believe that either of them was disposed to throw him out; 1 ut some one of the candidates must be thrown out, and without im puting any hostility towa:ds him to either of the Candidates, he must say that there was a powerful interest in the City of London which would wish to see him disappointed. it was the same intermit which also tys sought to thwart the wishes of the people. It was tin. the Livery to say whether that influence would succeed on the present revision helm eof the struggle depcnded en tirely upon themselves. He had repeatedly entreated his friends to duck to he poll with all possible despatch, and not to keep buck, but to be guided by his Committee, who must be the best judges of what would tend to his success. In addressing the Livery, he did not wish to make any di -diction between the different classes of the community ; but he must observe that the middle order of traders were e fit* un represented. It was true that there were other classes who were in some respects more important, but it was also necessary that the middle traders should be represented. Ile would again repeat, that he was not hostile to any particular branch of trade or mammy, as he thought that all must me anti fall together: none could floutish at the expense of others ; and to show them that such we the opinion entertained of him in the City, lie 'would with pleasure refer to the votes of some of the principal merchants and bankers who had come forward to his support. He would mention the names of some, but that he feared it might be considered invidious; but he would say, that some of those gentlemen who had come forward that day to give him their suffrages were second in import. ante to no other individuils in the City of London. He knew it had been the practice to snake a personal canvass, or to send invita tions to all the Livery; but he ho l ed that those who were favour able to his pretensions would not take offence because he had not called upon them. He would not templets longer upon the assert. bly, but assure them of his sincere thanks and gratitude for the honour which they had done hint, by the powerful support which he had received. Alderman WOOD next appeared on the front of the hustings: he was received with loud cheers, mixed with hisses. Ile said that he was happy to see, as he had predicted on the preceding day, that the Livery of Laudon would not desert him. (Hear, hear.) He always knew that they would not neglect an old tried servant of theirs. Every endeavonr had been made by his opponents to place him in a different situation on the poll from list which he had at first; but notwi.hstanding all their efforts, he still main tained his place. He 110 also aware that placards had been exhi bited in the City, fur the purpose of lessening hint in their good opinion; he did not mean to charge the distribution of each placards to any of the gentlemen who were Candidates, but he would implore the Livery to weigh well his character be. fore they (heeled against ham ; perhaps they proceeded from some private enemies. Amongst these exhibitions there was an amusing one, called " Paul Pry ; " sod if he did not in trude, he shotild like to be such a caracter; fur whenever the interests of the people were to be watched, or whenever the public money was to be wantonly expended, he would be a Paul and "juvt drop in," with the Intention of preventing it. There were many pleasing circumstances attending his election, and some had occurred during that day, one of which he would men tion. He had been told that morning by respectable mevehants, who caine to vote for Into, that they had done so in consequence of hearing front his former colleague, Mr. Wilson, that be (Alderman Wo id) was never absent from his place in Parliament whenever any service could be petformed for the chines of London. Such a testimonial was highly honourable to his colleague, and it was of infinite pleasure to himself. There was another circumstance to which he wished to allude, and ft was, that not one of the Society of Friends—he meant the Quakers—had left him out in their votes; and he would tell the Livery the rea son—it was because he had always voted against all slurry ; and he would be always opposed to slavery, whether black or white. He perceived an honest black face among the crowd. tlere the worthy Alderman pointed to a black man who was below the hustihge.l He would ask, should such men be enslaved on account of their colour 1 (Cheering.) tAt this moment the black man al luded to was lifted up on the shoulders of some of the spectators, and the man was heard to cry out, " Massa Wood, you see a d—d good fellow!" which exclamation caused considerable laughter.) The worthy Alderman then proceeded to say, that although he was friendly to the emancipation of the Blacks, he did not wish to deprive West India Proprietors of their property without full corn permation. ( Hear, hear.) He thought he had a right to put for ward some otitis acts, to entitle hint to the support of the livery, It was well kno an that there had been a heavy tax upon coals, which had been originally levied for the purpose of building churches, and by his exertions that tax, which amounted to three hundred thousand pounds a year, was repealed. He would con fidently appeal to the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the truth of his assertion. He hail opposed it, because it was a tax upon the poor, and upon the manufacturing interests. Ile thought it fair in him to put forward these exertions of his, as no friend of the Candidates could be allowed to address the Livery either in moving or seconding a nomination. He would not trespass farther on the Livery, but he was sure he should be placed by them in the honourable situation which was the object of his wishes. (Cheers.) Mr. Want) now attempted to address the meeting, but the plaudits and hisses continued for some minutes, which prevented him from beginning his observations. After silence was somewhat restored, he said he had again to thank the Livery for placing him in so favourable a situation on the pull as that which he had the honour of occupying. Tice noise was resumed, when this Gentle man observed, that when lie was lowest on the poll the Livery did him the honour of listening to him, but now that lie had a better situation, they did not show the same disposition. It was trot their vire but their voices which he sought. fie was sure the reason of theft uneasiness was that the, could not restrain their feelings; and he was also certain that it oily required for him and the Livery to be better acquainted, Amu they would be still better friends. He hoped his friends would come up to the poll on the next day, and whether the Livery heard him, or lie was to have the pleasure of listening to them, be would be entirely guided by their decision. (Cheers.) The Loan Mavosi next stepped forward, and was received with mixed demonstrations of approbation and dissatisfaction. He said lie congratulated the Livery upon being the spectators of the best contested election which had occurred in the City of London. Whatever might be the feelings of the other Candidates, the result of the election would give hint satisfaction if it was pleasing to the electors. He had not much to say, and he would recommend to the Livery not to be guided by professions. but to look into the characters of the Candidates, and to select the best front amongst them. His only pretensions were the rectitude of his conduct slur log the time that he had had occasion to appear before them in his public capacity. But, without reference to himself, lie would any what had been said of Glasgow, t.• Whatever be the fate of choke. presentative', may the City of London prosper." (Cheers.) SOUTHWARK ELECTIOA! SFVENTII DAT. We yesterday observed that the Erength of both parties engaged in the contest in thetliorough was nearly exhausted; but as Mr. Pol hill hail tinit,wroly (Inland his intention to prolong the contest anions as possible, so speedy a termination of the election was not antici pated. No doubt can be entertained but that Mr. Polhill was pressed forward to continue the struggle, by the hopes of success which were held out to him by his friends, and the injudicious sarcasms of his opponents. Mr. C a lvert's taunts were b a d in point of judgment, taste, and good feelings end we think it would be as difficult lot the herald to decide to which of the two gentlemen the right of precedency belonged, as for a chymist to ascertain which possessed mote gravity. the froth of potter or the smoke of tobacco. These ridiculous backsringi remind us of the inimitable sarcasm of Horace., who introduces an individual claiming pre cedency for himself in the following line— •• At osmium college gratin post me sedet min." These angry feelings are now, however, consigned, with Vie termi nation of the contest, to the tomb of the Copullets •," and Mr. Polhill may recline on his pillow without danger of those dismal dreams which Shakspeare described, and which Sir Robert Wilson asserted were the companions of Mr. Polhill's nightly slumbers. At nine o'clock this morning, the Digit Bailiff advanced to the front of the hustings, and proceeded to read a letter, which he acid he luel received front one of Mr. l'olhill's agents, to intima'e that Gentleman's Intention of nut confirming the contest any longer. At ten o'clock tile proclamation was rital in the usual form, to close the election ; but. u two persons, who appeared crthitsiastie admirers of Mr. Poibill's politics, demanded to he polled. in order to r,:cord in the archives of the lioroogla their sentiments in fervor of that gentleman, the proclamation was in consequence read • second time, and though there appeared several voters on the hustings in favour of Sir Robert Wilson, they rere not polled. The Irma BAILIFF then declared the state of the Poll C. Ca:v rt, Esq. - IPO7 I Edward Polhill, Esq, . 1342 Sir Robert Winton . 1712 Majority in favour of Sir Robert Wilson 370. Sir Robert W dson nod Mr. Calvert were then declared duly elected, to represent the Borough of Southwark. This announce ment was reeeited with the nitro enthusiastic plaudits by the a•sem. bled multitude. We heard it asserted by some of the agents of Mr. Polhill on the hustings, on Tuesday last, that should Mr. Polhill be in a minority on the last day's poll, that that gentleman would demand a scrtiOny ; but this we believe to be all aortae. Mr. Ca hv FAT then came forward, amidst enthusiastic cheerings. Ile said, he had to offer them the meat belittle!' con gratulations on the termination of the contest, in which they had given hint such dcci proofs of their regard. He begged to re them his most Mere thanks fur the honour they had dune flint, in placing him in the exalted station to which he had aspired, 1 1 that of being the Representative in Parliament of the Borough of Southwark. He could assure them that, in that situation, lie would use his best endeavours to do his duty to their entire iumisfaction,— in such a ccurse labour was a pleasure. (Cheers.) Ile derived great eatisfaction fruit the reflection that the contest had throughout been conducted with good feeling. It was now brought to a conclusion, and hr thought Mr. Polhill would have better consulted his own interest and the feelings of the inhabitants had t.e sooner retired from the contest, when he must hive been convinced that he had no chance of success by protracting it so long. Sir ROBERT WILSON theft carne forward, and was received with loud cheers of approhutioo. Ile said, he knew the knell of his adversary's politie,.l existence was rum; (a laugh) ; had, how ever, that existence been as long as Methtesalciu's, he would never have overcome them by empty sounds, as the walls of Jericho had. been destroyed by sound of trumpet. (Cheers ) lie had attempted an Herculean task without possessing the power to accomplish it ; he wished 'lr. committee had had the courtesy to intimate Mr. Polliid's intention of retiring from the contest sooner. Had tha intimation been yen nuoicatcd to him, or his cdleague, the preceding evening. it would have considerably lessened the exrense and iu convenience to which lie had been exposed ; he was, however, now anxious to forgive anti frget, to shake hands and forget all angry provocations. (Cheers.) The morning sun at length ushered in the day, gildirg th.yhonourable course of the electors of Southwark wish beams of victory. lie could not de•crihe the strain of feeling which then animated him ; he felt a kind of chivalry which he thought it would then be im ; roper to indulge. fl e would not give the reins to his iinagination, but would aniline himself to that species of address which became a newly elected Member of Parliament to express on such on occasion. By the issue of the present contest the elesnors had a hieved their independence, and formed a bond of confederacy with thou of Westminster, and proved that they were resolved to preserve their rights, and secure their independence. Indeed that spirit had always influenced the electors of Southwark. On former occasion+ they had triumphed over wealth, as they had done in the present instance. In the contest which had just terminated, they had great difficulties and disadvantages to contend with; a host of prejudices was raised against them, to impede their course, and to' ensnare them in their honest efforts. The enemy had en deavoured to overturn their liberties, but had failed; and they had triumphed, and had erected a watch-tower in Southwark, on which they could unfurl the flag of free. (loin as long as their inclination prompted them to do so, and wh'ch would warn the enemy not to approach. He did not use these words in the language of adulation, which it would be as improper fur him to address to them as for them to hearken to: his wish was to excite a love of freedom, which, if cherished among an enlightened people, was of the greatest value to a powerful country. Ile would again express his wish for union and organiza tion, and hoped they would not suffer their liberties to be trenched upon. Ile never would Wish them to act far any one in dividual from personal considerations, but for the most worthy, as Alexander had disposed of the successi in to his empire. The ad vantages of union and organization were great: but that was not the dine to enter into details how that might be accomplished, that would be better discussed by themselves In their social meetings ; but if they thought they could derive any benefit from his assist. ance, he would be ready to render it on that and all other occasions. Wall regard to the number of votes which had been polled, he could have procured more had he been willing to make a Nacrifice of hie principles: But he scorned to act such a part, and valued only those votes which were given him with good wishes, and them he obtained. (Cheers.) In his canvass he had only met with one individual who behaved with any degree of incivility; and he un. derstood his opponent had experienced similar urbanity in the course of his canvass. Ile hoped the electors would on all occa sions act on the princple to do unto others as they would be done unto tnemselves, end mitigate, as far as possible, the asperity incl. din: to a contested election, and learn to bear and forbear. He hoped they would cultivate knowledge, which lie considered the most secure preservative of their rights. That would be a work of time, and if they did not immediately reap the benefit of their la bours, he hoped they would not act like the child who planted a bran, but, as it did not spring up and grow without delay, he dug it up and raked it out. Human nature was influenced in the same way as our common mother the earth. Time was essential for the product;on of plants, which could not suddenly put forth their fruit. He begged to renew all the pledges he had already given, and would conclude by returning them his sincere thanks fur the continued support they had given him in the contest. Mr. lima, on the part of Mr. Polhill, said he regretted the duty of returning thanks to the electors on the part of Mr. Polhill had not devolved on some person inure competent than himself to per. I form it. In reply to what had been said by the gallant General with regard to the protraction of the contest. he had to assure him that the committee did not know until late last evening *Mr. Pol hill's intention of discontinuing the contest; had they had earlier intelligence of the fact, they would have communicated it to the opposite party. Ile had a few remarks to make on the state of the poll. The whole number of votes polled at the present election were 3,112, of which 2.041 were split votes, and the remaining 1,030 were plumper% Mr. Polhill had 1.342 votes, of which 829 were plump ers, which proved that a very large proportion of the electors were in his interest. The committee had very great dif ' acuities to combat in consequence of the imperfect state of the poll. books ; and in one parish, which he should not name, the books were refused. As the poll stood, under the circumstances, Mr. Pol hill had a right to consider it a majority. One word with respect to Mr. Calvert. When that Gentleman and Mr. Barclay contested the Borough, they were at constant variance, and it was natural enough that two of a trade could not agree. (A laugh.) A mixture of beers was not good for the constitution, but there could not be any objection to the union of beer and tobacco. Mr. Polhill and he might have gone well together; the one exerting himself to re duce the duty on malt, and the other that on tobacco. He begged to thank the electors, on the part of Mr. Polhill, for their exertions to secure a return on a future occasion, when, should he offer him self, he might be sure of victory. Mr. CALVERT next proposed three cheers for the High Bailiff, for the impartial and gentlemanlike manner in which he presided over the proceedings. Sir It. WI csoar seconded the proposition, and eulogised the con duct of the High Baliff, who, he said, he would be happy in future to consider among his friends. The electors then gave three hearty cheers for the High Bailiff; upon which, The HIGH BAILIFF (Mr. Holmes) came forward. lie said he felt exceedingly grateful for the testimony of approbation which they had given of his tonduct. They had a right to expect his Bermes, and he would on all occasions be ready to afford them. He thanked them for the honour they had conferred upon him, and concluded by wishing them health anti happiness. The assembly then dispersed, and in a short time not a vestige of the hustings were to be seen. SURREY ELECTION. (SECOND DAY.) GUILDFORD, WEDNESDAY, Jurez 14. The bustle caused in this town by the county election was re newel at an early hour this nue log. Indeed. to 'pude with more correctness, it continued during the entire night, and the weary lay in vain expecting the honey heavy dew of slumber" to fall upon them, and were mused at every temporary lapse into forget fulness by the rattling of post-chaises, the imprecations of jaded post-boys, and the noisy vociferation% of the partitions of the several Candidates, who met and accosted each other in the streets, when returning from those orgies, where apathy was warmed into zeal, and zeal inflamed into fervour, by plentiful libations of that black poi. son which is profusely supplied by the tavern-keepers, and charged to the Candidata as port wine. The result of this day was looked to by all parties with great interest. Every one, in the slightest de. 'tree conversant with election business, is aware that in a county, or even a borough, where there are a great number of freeholders, the state of the poll on the first day of an election depends rather on accident than upon the relative strength of the parties, if, m in the present cue, they are any thing like fairly matched. In fact, on the first day it becomes a mere scramble to get towards the palling booths, and requires some exertion of personal strength to arrive at them. On the second day, however, business is usually entered upon with more regularity, and as a greater number of freeholders roll than could pos s ibly do so on the first day. the State 1 of the second day's poll is usually looked upon as giving what I may call the first blush to a contested election ; and the advantage of a good report at the outset has been generally considered so advantageous, that every nerve is strained by the friends of the Candidates to secure this triumph for their favourite. Yet when parties are all known to roam considerable interest, and where only a very small proportion of the freeholder's have voted, such a triumph is often temporary, and can never be naeonably re lied upon as a just criterion by which to calculate upon the old mate sweets of the Canal/des. Whatever may be tht value of this argnment, the agents of all parties evince a considerable degree of activity during the entire day. The polling commenced at nine o'clock, and es " the third man," Mr. Pelham was at the foot of the poll at the end of the first day, his friends worked body and soul to place him Welter on this day's poll; and so succissful were their efforts, that although he bad 114 votes less than Mr. Sumner at the close of the poll yesterday, so early as twelve o'clock this day he had mountrd to the first place on it, o'ertopplog both Mr. Sumner and Mr. Denison. The friends of the latter gentleman were also extremely zealous, and, if n o t at t h e h ea d of the poll, at no part of the day was be very di stant f rom i t. W er it is that Mr. Sumner's system of Opetationk is not yet cowl& e organized. or that he d, pewit' so mttelV on the powerful interest he is known to pon'ess in the county, that be deans extraordivary erts ertions unnecessary, I can't tithe upon me to any ; bat his f t tend; seen, by no unenr4 so zealous and Watling as the agents of the other candidate.. Whatever this eppearanee of apathy may arise from, I would recommend Mr. Dohne Sumner to shake it off, " like d ow-d7 cor m edl f iro r l o e rn .soi in d ina i s e ei l nen ton tihm e s ei m : a tt o ion e in ; ,u na T en fthdhee dbi r sd lemaca ts k i n i s e n D if i t e h i m e y masens7drmeu rionlahyogissianittnahr:l4ll; 1 j u l e ‘c p d r :vk e igar beans of acquiring strength, Si r T.

The poll continued open from nine until four o'clock, and during the hot three or four hours the voters came very slowly to it. Sons after five o'clock the High Sheriff, accompanied by th e Candidate., proceeded to announce the state of t h e pu ll . At this poled the Hall was nearly as much crowded as on the preceding tlsy, a A the audience were quite as nois yand turbulent. The Candela tes e th e i r entr a n c e, were received with cheers, yells, ho ne , an d a l manner of discordant sounds. Partial silence hating been ob. tamed by the exertions of the High Sheriff; he declared the state of the poll to be as follows: For Mr. Denison . . 072 i For Mr. H. Sumner . go For Mr. Pallmer - - US This announcement was received with loud cheers by the friends of Mr. Denison and Mr. hairnet.. The Rev. Mr. BELOE then presented himself, lie said he was going to put a question to a Candidate w h o sa id h e wished to be catechised by every Elector. The question he was about to put affected all who heard him, as Englishmen. It affected our reli gion and our dearest rights. Mr. Pannier declared himself the friend of the Protestant religion. If this was the case, the three Candidates were friends to the Protestant religion. Mr. Pallmer had put forward a bill, stating that, if he was called upon to vote for the Catholic question, he would take the sense of his (rinse. tuents, and if he could not vote in the way they wished, he Tea resign his trust. (Applause.) lie also put forward a placard, saying, " Painter, the Friend of the Protestant Church. Now every man must have a bias on such a IsubM it as t e Cathore Question, and he now called upon Mr. Pallmer candidly to state whether he. thought sufficient concessions had been already granted to the Roman Catholics, or that all exempeons should he removed, and every man allowed to worship God in the manner his conscience dictated, without being amenable to the State for his religious opinions. He here! 31r. Pallmer smile answer this question explicitly, and in such a way as to leave no doubt on the matter, for he could tell hi nt t h at doubts did nrw exist on the subject, and he said let those doubts be cleared up. (Hisses.) The next question he wished to put to Mr. Pallmer was contue el with that Hun. Gentlemen's observations yesterday upon slave-y. He had mentioned the number of wedding-rings used by his own slaves. Now could Mr. Pallmer say that the persons who entered into the solenin state of matrimony were previously instructed so as to enlighten their minds, and acquaint Meru with the nature of the solemn promise and vow they had made ? There was snot ter question, whether the slaves so married lived together, or were subsequently separated? fur in the last case marriage would become no more than a trap fur adultery. (The Rev. Gentleman was now interrupted by manifest symptoms of impatience, expressed by hisses, calls fur the Candidates, and cries of ' No more questions.' He withdrew, observing, that if the questions be put were not for their benefit lie would not have put them. Mr. PALLMER then presented himself. He rejoiced in tilt opportunity of answering the questions put by the Rev Dent en man. He would answer them in a clear, manly, and satisfactory manner. This Englishmen required and deserved, and when they did not get it, the man who refused it lost their good opinion. Ile would not believe the Rev. Gentleman put his questions for elec. tion purposes, and he would therefore answer, he hoped, in a saes. factory manner. Now with respect to what was rolled the Culo tte question, h: believed the Rev. Gentleman did nit know wbat the Catholic question was. [Mr. Beloe here stepped forward, and said he did know what the Catholic question was.l Mr. Palmer resumed. The Rev. Gentleman had interrupted him a little, but he was going to say tbat the Rev. Gentleman mull net tell what the Catholic questton meant, because he did not know what shape it mignt take. lie did nut know whether the concessions asked might be few or rear, or whether it was only asked to put the English Catholics in the same situation as their Irish brethren. Now the Catholic question came forward every Session in different shapes, and it was therefore impossible to say what its present shape was. He begged the freeholders not to vote for hi it if ha made use of evasion ; but he contended that reservation of op 1. 0 was not evasion. He was asked to give a pledge—he refused to LAO so: this was not evasior. (Cheers.) The Rev. Gentleman talked of placards, and when he spoke of candour and fairness, he should have recollected there was, or ought to have been, an ghee in gredient—impartiality. llid not the Rev. Gentleman know that the placard containing the words_" Pail ner, the friend of the Protestant Church," was put forward to answer two other placards, containing the words—" No Pallmer ; no Popery ;"jand " Pall ner, a fre id to the Pope ?" No doubt those two placards escapee the attention of the Bev. Gentleman. (Applause, and cries of " Bravo.") Probably the Rev. Gentleman had some hies on his mind, as that was now the favourite word. (Bravo.) Now, as to the other questions of the Reverend Gentleman. those relating to the negroes,—for he hoped to see the name of slave give way, as well as the condition of slavery, in proper time,—the Reverend Gentleman asked whether the negroes who matred were pre pared fur that solemn ceremony ? His reply was, that they were [refried by a Clergyman of the Established Church, acting under a Bishop, and there was no reason to suppose that clergyman was let's careful of his clerical duties don the Rev. Gentleman was of his duty at this election. (Applause.) T.. t lergy man did not meddle with matters of elate, tl ()ugh he a Ito tied be would have an undoubted right to do so, and eseecidly in everything connected with spiritual matters. But speaki g si:h as much confidence as he could of what occurred at a d s' n e of 4.000 miles, lie believed the negroes were prepared, i t least to the satisfaction of the clergyman who officiated, and he knew they were never separated, but continued to live on the same (state. Ile hoped this would be considered a plain, candid, and manly answer to the Rev. Gentleman. (Cheers, and some hisser, web cries for Mr. Denisoe.) Ihe Rev. Home it/'Nett then cone forward, but was for several minutes unintelligible, in con.equence of the tumult 'tech prey I ed. We then understood hint to ray that he Cil not advocate the cense of any indtvidual. The Rev. Gen lemon was again Interrupted by continued tumult ; of er which Mr. Pallmer came forward, and solicited a hearing for Mr. APNeil, which was obtained after considerable difficulty. The Rev. Gentleman at length proceeded :—He hoped the meeting would condemn no one unheard. The Church was a part of the Constitution, and its interests should be attended to. He thought they had a right to desire a pledge to be given on a subject which involved the perpetual existence of • Protestant King, a Protestant Church, and a Preis:leant Constitution. (home applause, and tre mendous noise and confusion.) lie saw they were impatient, and he should retire, only observing that he regretted they yomessel any opinion that they feared to hear candidly explained. In the roar a of the Ree Gentleman's address the High Sheriff wild he would adjourn the Court it order was not preserved. Mr. DENISON said, when he 'deemed the Court last nethe he declared his confi knee that he would soon be at the brad se t e poll; this prediction had been verified. He knew that the fre - holders of Surrey would not desert an out servant, who had served them faithfully and honestly. (Applause.) lie now predicted, that at the end of the teal! to-morrow he would have attained a still higher situation on it. lie was proud of this, but riot from any petty feeling of personal vanity; he was proud that the freth.d.d..re of Surrey , still held in such high estimation the prince. pies lie professed. lie hid uniformly advocated retrenchment, soonon y, and rifomn and when he deserted his principles he hoped the freeholder. would turn their back on lute. In hi crowded state of the Hall. and at that late hour of th e eve ning, he would conclude by tha king them heartily tied a sting th e ta a good night. (Cheer...)
