WESTMINSTER ELECTION. EIGHTH DAY'S POLL, FRIDAY, 111.4acsi 17. The following we►e the numbers polled at eleven and one o'clock yesterduy : Elmo. Fur Sir Freneis Burdett IS Hoe. George Lamb Mr. Hubboom 39 99 Shortly after four o'clock, when the notification of the numbers was made, they Appeared to be se follows : Fur Sir Frrsneir Burdett 3 lO5 J. C. Ilohboirse, F.,q 2.827 Hun. G. Lamb 2,217 This paced Mr. I.amh 89 above Mr. Ilobhouse. and 65 above Sir F. Burdett, on the day's poll. When the crowd had for ■ few minutes indulged in a tumultuous display of the irritated feelings excited by the exhibition of the poll•board, Mr. JUNES BURDETT add d them. The in dulgence with which they had before heard hint encouraged hint again to offer to them a few re. marks. Though Mr. Lamb hail gained a little during the dry, the state of the poll was riot at all discouraging. Their own friends, perhaps, hail not come forward with that zeal which was wished and expected ; but when they took into consideration the numbers who, from all lie had been able to observe, had found it inconvenient to come up at this time of the week, and the numbers which were reserved fur Mondry and Tuesday. and also that Mr. Lamb's numbers, such as they were, had been swelled by a great proportion of ministerial votes, they would see that there was very little reason for the iiidetwodent electors to he dirmayed.—(.4p ploure.)—He believed, though he could not state it with confidence. that it was to the last considera tion he had mentioned that Mr. Lamb might attri bute the superiority of his numbers this day. The lively imagination of Mr. Lamb had yesterday en abled him to find a resemblance between Sir F. Burdett and a jockey. Now what part of Sir Francis's dress it was that suggested this to Mr. Lamb he could not say. but it was he alone who could have filled ap tile iiirture.—(Apphrose.)— But Mr. lloblionse had certainly jockeyed (in the fair and honourable sense of the term, in which way only it could apply to the electors of Wrote:sin. stet-, or to Mr. Hobhuusc) hint out of a great majority of vutes.—(Laughter and cheers )—Any one but Mr. Lomb would have seen that there um an miter analogy between the electors of Westminster and the high-mettled rarer.--(Great •Eirphase.)—That high-mettled racer would, lie ",rusted, catty Mr. llobliouse through the course triumphantly, and enable him to jock ! , his oppo nent out of the election.--t Iltering.l—lt had been well said that 6. brevity was the soul of wit," and 'he was well aware that that quality would be the best recommendation of tiny thing lie had to offer them. He knew that any remarks which he might make were of little consequence in any other point of view, filial' as they might gain the approba tion of the people of Westmiuster. It was a very im• po r tant matter that their character should be fairly represented, but they were libelled every day through the country; for he thought that any body of people were libelled, when iwiitiments and views were sitrabuted to them which they did not enter tain. it was imputed to them, that they held w ild an d v jki 0000 airy theorien or reform. Now as reformers they were mere plagiarists ; they had taken their Irian. of it from the speeches, pam phlets, and writings of the greatest geniuses, and men of the most enlightened noderstamling that England had ever produced.— • Itheers.y—Burke, fur instance. whose mind was a store-house of know. ledge, had said in his pamplikt " Ms the Cause of the present Discontent," that the House of Cons. mots was not a standing part of the Constitution, that it ought to issue out of the people, and be speedily resolved again into the masa f whence it arose.

For God's sake hear him." • The expressions of disapprobation still more or laid continuing— Sir Jana Gtasow, addressing the electors, said. " Your savage yells shall have no effect upon use." Hers the uttnust indignation was nianifested, and Mr. Sheriff Paattos stood forward, and told the Baronet, that no such insulting language would be permitted from the hustings, addressed as it was to the people who assembled there to exercise the dearest rights of freemen.—(This was 'welted with , much applause.)—The Sheriff then addressing him ' self to the Gentleman who stood round the hosts logs reporting the proceedings for the tiewspopen, he said he hoped that such expressions as dropt from the worthy Baronet would nut be reported. A Gentleman from the crowd, in a very low tone, said. that the worthy Bartmet and his friend• ought in fairness to have the full benefit of those expres sions ; certainly, lie said, they could reflect no die+ grace on the electors. After order was somewhat restorerl---- Sir JOHN continuing his speech, acid. Mr. Mellish was a man of high character as an English mer chant and an English gentleman.

Perhaps its this election the old saying would be verified that they stumbled who ran bat.—(m laugh )—The friends of Isis opponent perhaps want. ed a little more breathing time, or perhaps the morning wars little too cloudy fur them, for his op. ponent bad told them that the reason he had polled so few yesterday morning was that there were a few clouds in the sky. Certainly those friends must have been of a very delicate constitution. and rather cold feelings in the cause whom a few clouds, without • drop of rain, had kept beck from the hustings.—(applause.)—He was surprised that the Memory of his opponent, who was so familiar with. Sitakspeare, did riot suggest the passage to him— " The self-same heaven That frowns on me looks tinily upon Aim." Mr. Burdett had told them that brevity was the . soul of wit; hoverer. it woo possible to be short aid not witty.—(4 laugh.)—Of that he feared he should himself afford a specimen. His opponent had put • number of questions to him yesterday. which. he said, he expected he (Mr. Lamb) would answer another time. Now. as he thought that 110 candidate had • right to question soutlwr, end as he inferred that he intended some good to himself in having them replied to, he bad given no answer to them then, mud he believed he should give no ewer to them now.—(Laughter and applause.)— It seemed he expected he (Mr. Lamb) should lay before him all his grounds of success and plane regarding the election. This was a very different tone from that assumed at the last election, be cause then Mr. Hobhouse and his friends had told them that they knew all the secrets of his Com mittees as well as themselves. He called upon the electors of Westminster to resist the dictation of an active minority. Whatever might be said of influence, he should maintain that those electors who voted for him were as free, ,independent, and uninfluenced. as any of those who supported him could pos►ibly be. having said so much. he had only toinform them, that he had quite enough of friends remaining to return him to Parliament, and to wish them a good evening.—(applause.) Mr. Honnouss said he was glad to find that his Hon. opponent had exulted with so little success. But the majority of tg, which he had this day, if continued through every day to the end of the election, would not he sufficient to put him above himself. Mr. Lamb had told them in his silver . tisement, that the tide of success lied changed in his favour; bat it had not dianged, there was no turn of the tide, it was only • little back-water. or • whirlpool. which whisked about fur half a minute and then was down again.—(4pphaere.)—He sup posed it was the frieurie of his opponent who had raised those laurels on the standing opposite to the place he occupied; at least he had nut observed them yesterday. Bat they were but a short time there, and were withered, ■utl he thought they were a fair type of that success with which his opponent would finally be crowned.—(Great op pionse.)..4le found that he was now further ad vanced than on the eleventh day of the last electing), and this woe but the seventh day and one hour of ►thic poll. The only dictation exercised over the people of Westminster by the Gentlemen of his Committee was that they stated what this it own political opinions were, whist they atomised ought to be those of the person who sought to represent the city of Westminster in Parliament, and that his sentiments appeared to square with their standard. This was • thing of which every individuall could judge for himself. Dictation implied some sort of control; but the only control imputable to the Gen tlemen who took an active part in supporting him was, that since 1807 they had taken every opportunity of expressing their opiniou of the necessity of re form. As Mr. Lamb said, and no doubt thought. that no undue influence was exercised over the electors who voted fur him, he should beg leave to emumonicate to him one fiict •that had come with in his own observation in this mom of that day. Ton persons who had row tip to kote for Mr. Lamb, were refused me sititualified, upon which ~ , they said that they were very glad of it—leaving to the portion to whom the remark was made to draw his eon inference. H e I,ad also heard that a very n.11..4.1,161 person in 11'eetniesister, who it could not be denied was also a very respectable one, told all his workmen that if they voted for turn (Mr. Holahoisse), they should be turned out of his emplay.—(Shoine. shame 1— He frequently heard of things of that sort. He thought that there was noticing unconstitutional in • hackney coach, and •s that which was made use of by Mr. Lamb's own friends, he supposed he had no objection to it.—.(46 None in the world," Mr. Lamb candidate had certaitile a right to pile questions to another, but the other had a right to exercise his discretion in answering them Or not. It was the conviction of his mind that Mr. Leath had not the remotest chance of +access without mi nisterial i m i s r snee . It was on itrinciple that lie (Mr. Hohltoose) had come forsterd ; he lied uo personal motive whatever. Even Mr. Pitt had said, that without • Reform itt Polinment. no honest man mold act as a Moister of this cottotry. Mr. Lomb was opposed to the Ministers OA • member of a party. he was hostile to them as forming a pert of that system which► he wished to see overturned. He had 110 pleat...re whatever in the war of words which had been carrying on for some days; he would much rather have taken port i• a reciprocation of kind and courteous latiguoge.—(applause.)-IfMr. Lamb could convince hint that lie hod a fair um. biassed majority of the electors of Westminster in his favour, he would not give him another day's trouble. He put it to Mr. Lamb whether he could really feel any hope of success l However, as he seemed resolved to keep the pull open till the fif. teeoth dry, and as the battle was to be fought, he hoped they would light it manfully. The people thieu retired. MIDDLESEX ELECTION. Yesterday the road between Brentford and Hyde-park Co►ner displayed unusual and in creasing bmnle from as early an hour as seven o'clock in the morning. Many vehicles besides the coaebes generally travelling that rood, were in requisition, filled inside and out with the friends of the candidates. Those in the interest of Mr. WHITBRIAD wore favours of true blue and pink; Mr. Beira's colours were light blue and orange ; Mr. M►r.t.tse's light blue singly. —The town of Brentford was, of course, un commonly busy. Very spacious and well scenes. outdated hustings were erected in Brentford Butts, where the town population were eagerly waiting for the arrival of the candidates from before nine o'clock. Abaft that time the friends of the severel candidates left their different places of rendrimma, and marched in procession to the hustings with music and lmens. At half-peat ten o'clock the parties arrived before the hurting% A considerable cavalcade of Mr. WIIIIVINEAD'S friends led the way, mod drew lip in line, while Mr. WIIITIIRCAD passed up to the entrance of the hustings, drawn by the people in an open carriage. and cheered by all the persons present. Mr. BYNO and his friends followed next, and was equally writ received. Mr. NIELLISH fol lowed, and some groans and hisses were mingled with the applause. The Geatterwesi alighted and took their stations on the hustings. the baud playing " Si. Patrick's Davin the Morning." The whole space within mid without the hustings was by this time filled. The Sheriffs said their officers came forward, the Court of lonstiogs was regularly opened, the writ read, the Sherds sworn, and the Act against Bribery and Corruption read. The Crier then came for ward, and asked the freeholders whom they would elect, Ste. Mr. H Anver then came forward. He said the electors were called on to exercise one of their most invaluable franchisors, that of returning a Member to represent that respectable county in Parliasoetd.—(Applarse.)—Jf ever they were call ed upon more imperatively to exercise that privi lege with iudepeudence. it was at the present ma men,. They found after five years of peace, this once flourishing country groaning under an exces sive taxation, with a stagnant commerce. and a drooping agriculture.—(Load applause.)—No impartial person but would concur with him in saying. that since England wai a kingdom. she never was in so perilous a situation as that in which she slow stood—(ipplearse, " It is too true.") — And what were the memos to extricate the country ?
