I accordingly went to Pollosau and Keyletclea office, Crown -court, and i 'traduced myself by producing Keylock's letter. There win every appearance of great business iu the office. I asked them if they were certain they could secure the appointment Vollman said there was 110 doubt of it ; there wPre twenty-four cnwit-waiters ; and it was well known it was a fair iti,o-tiee for them to resign. I impaired who in t tided to war ? l'olliirtii said, it was not a fair question, atiii he was no: at liberty to tell.

I. asked if he *mild insure me the refusal of the appoint. anent He replied, by telling me he would, if I advanced 101, which should be forfeited if I did not deposit 19901. at the Linke:es, within two days. I consented, and received a -receipt, signed by Pollman, for the fnl. I wens-N I - S a w. day morning to Nolhnau foal Kill. el.'s Olive, and &sewed them a receipt I hips dri.wii out, for ti . bankers to sign; they *proved of it, and Ncr. , ?oilman accompanied me to !Messrs Stykes,'. and Co. bankers, Maission.bouse-stritee; saw Mr. Watson, one of tise ruiners, and sheriff: him tile receipt. which was a copy of that I had rtceiveal fwm KevloCk ; which he read neer deliberately, sad said be could trot sign it, as lot Arm udttld not F . like to hive their 'names appear to a receipt, which, by the terms of it, appeared to be illegal. Ile proposed to give a common short receipt, and I to give hint a letter of iustructions, coutai 1111 l g the sub stauCe or the receipt I had produced, which letter should be Marked (a) and referred t o i n tbe trunnion receipt. I agreed to this, mid promised to Ireton' at five o'clock in the eveaing, which I did, atTOllll - by Mr. Harvey, who belongs to the Soli citor of the Treasury oilier. Pollumit was there before me—l introduced Mr. Harvey us my friend, Mr. Watson accompanied from th e fro n t o ffi ce into the hack one ; I produced the letter of ilium - Lions, and the receipt, which was ou a 54. stamp. Watson altered theta both, by inserting the word Self, instead of Sykes, Sneyd and Co. Mr. Harvey pinduceil the 19901. which I handed over to Mr. Watsou..;,eolltnan said 1 should have the appoint. ment iiismythately. Oil the Monday morning fol lowing, I celted on Pellman, who appointed that I should accompany Into, in the evening of that day, to the Ludy, w hose interest was to procure the appointment ; he objected to Mr. Harvey's attend ing me, as the lady tuight feel hurt at the pre sence of a third person ; I was positive, and refused to go without him. Penman, after some hesita tion, consented that he should be of the party ; Pollinate accordingly called on me and Mr. Har vey, at the Cannon Coffee-house, Charing -cross ; they then proceeded to Crown-street, Westminster, where the lady lived. I understood her name was Hardy. Pollinate told me, its we walked along, that Mrs.. Hardy was a devil of s gripe, and that I must inform her, that I was only to give 9001. for the ap pointment, as she was to receive that sum, and the person resigning was to receive 0001. more ; the re mainder would then become the property of hint and Keylock, although, front the parsimonious dis position of Mrs. Hardy, he would be obliged to give her 501. more ; Pullman introduced me to Mrs. Hardy, as the person who wished to purchase theappointment. She said she had written to the gen/cloture who had the disposed of it, and h-411 strongly recommended me to him ; there was a Mrs. Berry in the room, whom, Mr. Pollinate niformed me, was the mistress of the house; they tittered jute conversation, Mrs. Berry raid, I sold the ptiyonaio• ttttship for one thousand guineas." Pollman said, lie had sold the searchership for 30001. ; she res plied, that was a stiff one—he answered yea; hot, hoverer, he had got through with it. the their return to Charieskeross, Pollinate said, it was a Lord of the 'freitstetl, very near the Doke of Portland, who was to secure theappoiestment ; that his Grace had mole the oith for the parties, and he knew it wits broken every day, as Ilia Grace made /0 or 30.0001. a-year by the sale of ;deceit.— Ou the ifith of January I received it letter from Pollinstie, 'on the 20th Y called on him. He said he sent for the to receives some instructions, as I should have the Napo eitinent imusedintely. and it was necessary that I should be initiated into the rules of the office, so as to make toe adequate; that there %sere several forms to be gone through, but he thought by my ,Hein., two or three dintiets, they wo u hl b e disrensed with ; there was an oath to be takes' by me, such as that I had not purchased lay appoilitnient; it was an oath of nu coniwquence, as it was nit friend Mr. Harvey Iland the money fur me, and tic, Pollinate, had taken 30 such oaths in the e our's! of a day. &had several interviews with .fr. Pullman afterwards. Mr. Harvey was always present; Keylock was sometimes present ; 'here was always some excuse; soinetiesws Mr.. Clarke's business in the House of Commons was plead ed, us an excuse, which obliged throe to be wore cautious. (In the tatle of January, I sew, in Tim Berm,' Peers Newspelwr, a 7- sort of the proceedings of the -eight before h. the House of Commons, in which the names of Pollruau and Keylock were mentioned by Mr. Wardle. I called en Millman, and told him his name had twell in the House of Com mons. Ile sail. keylewk suspected 1 was not close, and had beers bilking to Mr. Waidlr. I assured him I had teeter seen that Gentleman. 1 alter wards saw Mrs. Hardy, at her own r equest , an d gave leer a certificate or my age ; she also required an nffidavit of it, which I brought her, a n d the said she would deliver it to the Geotleraan who was to procure the appointment. I at last gave up the pursuit. He was cross-examined by Mr. ESPINAISL, the COMMON•SESJEAST, Mr. CASELY, and Mr. DAL LAS 1 but nothing of interest came oat, except that the money had been returned. Mr. Harvey was exalt ll ill ed i and corroborated the evidence of the last witness. Mr. Gregson, Surveyor of the Coast-waiters, proved, that the office of a Coast-waiter, for the Port of London, wave place of considerable trust. Here closed the evidence on the part of the pro secution. Lord ELLENBOROITEIII was of opinion that a conspiracy had not been made out as to Watson, ' for it was not proved that lie ever had a commode canoe, with Mrs. Manly. Mr. ESPIKASSE, on the part of Pullman, con tended, that if the conspiracy was not proved against Watson, the indictment must fall to the ground, as they were all indicted conjointly. Lord Ett.ensoaoutat said, he would preserve That point. The COSISION-SEILIEANT then addressed the Jury as Counsel for Keylock, and preeluced seve ral most respectable witnesses as to his good chi.- ratter. Mr. CASSIA', on the pat of Mrsilardv, contend ed, if there were not a person behind the curtain, who disposed of such appointments, there could be no temptation for his client to act as she had. Mr. DALLAS, with Lis usual ability, in a most able speech, conteuded, that Mr. Watson had been ilsoauch itniersed on as the prosecutor. Mr. Arerettv Elf-GENERAL replied. Lord ELLEN sosouint summed up the evidence with his mood perspicuity; and the Jury without he sitat,mt gave a tereliet that the Defendant, Wet oaf !Sul Crafty; but that the other three De fe:idituts were (:whip." The Court was i xtremtly crowded. 'Re trial ' began at Moe o'clock in the morning, and did not finish until utter: four. Mrs. Haul was in Court; she is about 50 years of age, and appeared as it' she had been once a handsome women. She was at tended by a very young roan, dressed in all the gaiety of fashion, and they appeared to enicry the scene much. • 1 Ni • . , 1 • 41 d • iI si w CI I .

COUNTY ON STAFFORD ELECTION. FRIDAY, JULY 6. The writ baying been read, and 001.3- routine bueiners gone through, tht Sheriff stated that 1,0r,1 (I. 1.. Gower was the only candidate then pro- Some ohlerv.itimis were then made as to the object and business of the county court, which were denitd to be true, and conttoverted by Mr. L'► FAN. Wotschtv, Esq. renewed his objections to the electing Lind G. L. Geiser a Member in Par liament for the County of StaffOrd. There Was, he observed, a clause iu the Act of Settlement, which rendered a placeniati ineligible to sit iu the House of Commons ; he disclaimed all personal motives fur his opposition. Sir JOHN WaOTTIALEY made a long and argot mentatwe speech, lie detailed several anecdotes, illustrative of the situation in which he stood with the House of Trentham ; his political connections ; his motives for aliandoning the representation of Lichfield ; the delicate situatimi iu a hicii he ve as placed in respect to Sir E. Littleton, by the ani inadversious and rumours which hail Lo u : abroad ; bow far he had carried any private cair,..,s; his motives in not attending the nomination; the cliu meter of the present Administration, and his opi nion of them; their political pmffigacy, and the jobbing system of their measures; the proverbial indolence of Lord Chatham, whom they had :m -istimed Commander-in-Chief in the important ex !sedition, tke. I,:c. fie was frequently interrupted by implanses, and concluded by stating, the time might not be far distant when he should offer him self us candidate for the county of Stafford. Mr. LISTER warmly advocated the camie of Lord Cower, and defended his acceptance of a place iu the 51inistry. He alluded to a late trial, in which Mr. 1% arille was Ilefendunt ; and appeared to he adverse to modern reformers. Mr. PRAIISON said lie should be sorry to find that the recent trial should injure a mau in the opinion of the public, who had performed smart impottrut services; and begged leave to remind Gentlemen, that the Jury and the Lord Chief Justice bad de cided that ;Uri. Oar ke's eridessre wat4 entitled to credit. The Rev. E. Diclensos congratulated the enmity on the prospect of the intlueirce of the House of Trentham being put to the test at a fu ture election. Lord G. L. GOWER (the form of his election being gone through) thanked the gentlemen fur the very high honour that had been done him. He vindicated his proceedings during the inves tigation into the Duke of 1 ork's conduct. He alluded to the late trial, in which Mr. Wardle was the defendant, and asked why the two witnesses alluded to by Mr. Wardle ware not called to disprove the evidence of Mrs. Clarke and Mr. Wright; he replied to the attack made On his Majesty's Ministers, and defended Lord Chat ham, commenting on the advantages which would result freiu his upi , 6tittnent as Commander. in-Chief of the expedition. The Noble Lord concluded by stating the affection and friend. ship 'thief, existed between himself sod his brother, which would not, however, interfere with the con scientious discharge of his t , üblic duty. C. Wut.seLsr. Esq. then made his promised motion of thanks to Sir E. Littleton, which was, however, withdrawn, by the express desire of the worthy Baronet's friends, Col.Siiild and Mr. Lane on the ground that it tended to divide the county.'
