T .ITR I.S. KING'S THEATRE. • The Opera called Mese in Fieitto, and which, out of compliment to the religious scruples of certain p-reons of this country, goes in it by the talent' hello ll r etthr, was performed on Saturday at this 'fleestre,the firm time after a lapse of several months.. lt happened that both Madame Pasta and Signor Vellutt were prevented by indis position from complying with the wish of Mr. Eines, that one of them should appear in the evening's performance ; , and thus this excellent production of Rossini ll fertile pen was hastily produced, and brought forward our favourite, Signor Pellegrini, who took a principal part in it. Why this distinguished s i ng er's services nre so seldom put in re quisition, we arc unable to guess. Enough have we to complain in the mediocrity of the male singers at this theatre eit is therefore strange that the only one who pose ceases superior and decided merit should he allowed to ex hibit it in an sparing a manner. Signor Pelkgrini was in very excellent voice, and received notch applause. Not so with Signor Cnrioni, who went through his pert in so care less a manner, that the beauties of it were entirely lost. Ire believe, however, that at best, the music is much above the reach of Signor Curioni's powers; and this fact strikes us more forcibly, when we bring to our recollection the skill with which we have heard it executed by others in the principal theatres of the Continent. Madame Ca radori sang with great taste and feeling ; and Signor Porto did very well. After the Opera, the Ballet entitled Le Rol Chanspetre was inflicted on those who hail time to attend it. The house was not much crowded, and the heat was by no means great. ENOI.I/411 OPERA HOUSE. This theatre opened on Saturday night, for the season, under very favourable auspices. During the winter recess, the proprietors have been indefatigably engaged in adding to the musical strength of the company ; and, as enterprise never faits of its reward, their efforts have been successful. Enormous as the salaries are which popular singers now look for. theta employers seldom reckon without their host ; for the Engibeli people have, as if by a miraculous interpo anion of the genie's of aong, imbibed a keen and ardent relish for musical display. This feeling was pretty accu rstely evinced in the comae of last night. The Opera of Isar arc, Me Tartar Lhirf, though interspersed with many beautiful airs, which were executed, upon the whole, with great skill and talent, is not a performance which would please the fancies of a promiscu lug sudicise. The action of the story is either feeble or wire-drawn ; and the attention droops under the languid monotony of scenes which lead toward. a plot that the moat careless compre hends about the middle of the first act. Sapio took the part of Tomire, and went through it with considerable spirit. Carat confidence of his own power% was requisite to bear him through those slogs which Braliain gave with such powerful effect; in one of these, however, Sapio had evi dently the advantage of the other—we mean in the scene where the Chief is introduced to the Sultan, after the ab duction of Astasia; and both in the petition to his haughty Lord, and his supplicatice to tin! Bramali, he infuse:l an energy which bespoke earnestness of purpose, struggling with oppressive weight of grief. The occasional irregu larity an the tones of Sapio were of considerable service to hint here--because intense passion is more naturally ex pressed by a broken and liall•suppreesed utterance. The performance was highly creditable to Mr. Sapio, and we have no doubt he will peeve an acqnisition to this theatre. Of Miss Hamilton's .Isinsio, it is needless to say any th:ng, as she almost identified liersolf with the character. We must protest, however, against her long ringlets, which reached below her knee, and reminded one of candle-wicks, or some such stuff, dyed black, and strung to her natural hair. This absurd attempt, to give gracefulness to the eon tour, lead an entirely oppusits effect. An actress cannot be too serupulents resp.:ct ; and we hope Miss Ha milton will take our hints in good part. Miss Paton's Ainella was cleverly executed, and she well deserved the praises which were showered upon her. The Opera, in deed, went off well—and we hope to see it frequently re peated. The house was well attended. FINE ARTS.`—Mr. Prichard J. Lane has just completed another Lithographic engraving, from a picture by John Bolden, misled." The Unwelcome I,3uest." AVe cannot pay this gifted young artist a higher cempliMept, than by saying that this last specimen of his ahilittee is equal to any of his former efforts, and superior to any thing in this style of engraving attempted by order tholigh nut by abler hands. [From the Lieerpael Compnereiq Chrtotide.7—.l para graph has appeared in the Lietrpual Coat-kr of Wednesday, giving a sort of denial, evidently upon euegertion, if not by'authority, to the report which appeared in our last week's paper, taken from the &ewe k Adler,/ ler, of the speech of Mr. Gladstone to the electors of ellerevick• previously to the opening of the poll. We arc . by no means surprised at this circumstance ; for it is, nuked, v. ry nearly what we had anticipated. The paragraph, nut a little curious in its way, is as follows :—" Al'e learn, that the statement of the sentiments expressed by Mr. Gladstone from the hustin,-,s, mei tttt sly to the opening of the poll, aed published in the Berwick Advertiser of the ith inst. sad since copied into several Liverpool papers, is incorrect, particularly in what relates to the Corn and Navigation Laws. On these important subjects, Mr. Gla !stone stated his opinions in detail, and it is probable that in our next we tray be able to say more on this subj-ct. It would ap teetr that the Editor of that paper made up his account of tile proceedings on that occasien, from an imperfect recoi l:ohm of whet was said, without even the assistance of notes." We h eve said that we are not surprised ;—nor, we will, now add, are we convinced by this insinuation, for it is most cautiously and studiously inexplicit,— of error in that report. How much " more" socver, and afkr what fashion soever, the Editor of the Couritr " may," in his next, be able to say on the sub ject, we believe that we are not the only persons in Liver pool,—the witele of Mr. Gladstone 's constituents at Ber wick will of ceurse concur in the feeling—who would fain see an authentic version of the speech, corrected and revised for publication by Mr. G. himself. In t..e mean time, we may be permitted to observe, that it would have been far inure satisfactory, had this impeach ment of elle reporter's accuracy been made upon the bus t:llgs at Berwick, from which the speech had been spoken, in the heating. of the electors to whom it bad been ad dress:el ; inc in the pretence of the Tarty by whom the imputed misrepresentation had been put forth, seeing that the election continued, aml the poll was kept open several clays after the report had been published. Such a course, the most natural, one would imagine, that could have been fellow:el, would have led to a correction of the report the suceeedine• nune!wr of the. Bersrick Adret flier, to which we have referred in vain for such a confirmation of the paragraph in the Courier, For the present we will only all, that whatever may be thcnght of the probability of tie• E!.tor of a Journal so ably conducted as that in ques t:en appears tole, having '• made t p his account of the pto ceeeleufs from an imperfect re cone do I of what took place. and without eves the assistance of notes,"—a fact which we should haella credit upon any authority but his men— u, ;:re nut of tie! number of those who can be easily in duced to believed that due writer of that report, couldleve ben so grossly deceived, or so stupidly dull, ag to put into flee tuenth of Mr. Waelstone, opinions upon the Corn and N evicetion Laws, in any degree opposed to those which he aetuMly declared.

It was communicated to Mr. Hunt, after the final close of the poll on Thursday, that several of the freeholders who had voted hir him had received no•ice of "no more employment" from their masters, and that the revmtment of the partizans of Sir Thomas Lethbridge and Mr. Dickinson would be mat-Melted in other ways to the offending electors. Mr. Hunt accordingly determined to visit the places in which thi spirit chewed list If, in order to ex press his sentiments publicly upon the deocription of vengeance which his enemies had thought proper to adopt. Ile heard upon ' his arrival on Friday evening, at Frame, where be had, before the election, been met with the greatest enthusiasm by thousands of the paur manufacturers, that the efforts of the friends of indepen. dente had been paralyzed by the threats of come of Cie principal men in the town. A deputation waited upon him at the Crown inu upon the subject, and assured him that absolute destruction awaited the families of some who had heen bold enough to vote ac. coaling to the honest dictates of their emsciences. One of the de putation stated, that he was himself an evidence of the determined animrsity of one of the float powerful men in the town, who had made no secret of the fee;ing by which he was actuaed. Mr. Hunt asked who this individual was alto had dared to in terfere with the freedom of election ; for, bitter as was thu hostility against him, he had never curornplated that the poor would be persecuted to starvation because they *hewed an inclination fur better times. The Complainant, who is a currier, said, he had no hesita tion to mention the name of the gentlemen who had given him " no:ice to quit." It was Mr. Sheplie.l, the clothier, who used to purchase lewher of hint to the amount of upwards of Itati, per annum. and who. unon finding that he had voted for " Hunt." aet.t hint immediate intimation that his services would be tor ever alter dispensed with. Mr. Shepherd had, he underhand. exercised the same sort of authority where it wns most likely to be felt, and many,a poor family in the town was already sufraing under the in It was also stated to Mr. Hunt, t h at notwithstanding the sweep ing condemnation of his friends, the great mass of the freeholders of the county would nu more vote for Sir Thomas Lethbridge se.an they would vote far the 41-1 himself, and that if there had been only the tustornary moles of conveying the voters, the town of Detester would have been crowded with the most resolute oppo nents of all the measures which Sir Thomas Lethbridge had ad vocated Of advocating it could be called) in Parliament.— Certain it is, that it the public feelitig of the county was expressed by the public cake, Mr. Hunt would have been, on the first day, at the head of the poll, and would have maintained that position without the slightest danger of sinking to a level with the less unpopular of the other two Cantidates. Wherever he appeared, the cries of welcome were tinted, and it was a remarkable fact, that even the individuals who formed the bands of his antagonists waved their hats, and cried " Hunt for ever!" when they thought they c odd do so without prejudice to their en gagements. It is a fact that nn old man (apparently YJ years of :Igo), who had long determined to vote for Mr. Hun', was made amok with cider Icy tone of the contemptible fellow. who travelled about to recommend Melts:leen to the other Candidates, and that upon being hrsught to the pall he was nearcely able to articulate tome of the person for whom he had, in consideration of what lie tlfattk, promieed to poll. It is alert true that many voters wan were willing to vote for Mr. Hunt, and who were dis appointed as to the means of en tveyance. accepted the invite- Min to go to the election upon other conditions, and actually up pearcd at lic::esuer with the favours of the unpopular Candidates in their hate, ail voted in the very presence of those beliwe whom they had pledged themselves to support the green and white Miami for the return of sir Thomas Lethbridge. Instances of a very different description were not unllequent. The following is one:—A farmer, of coneiderable property, residing near Taunton, had been one of the meat staunch supporters of Sir Thomas Leth bridge for many years. Six years ago he brotight up 70 voters for the Baronet, hut, having fallen in with the general prejudice ageing that 3lember, upon a comparlson of hie viruses and de fects, he resolved to advise his in stile to try some other experiment in the House of C34)111011% than that which they had been so long blindly malting. Sir Thomas wet mule acquainted with the change, and, meeting with his old supporter, maid, " I hope, Mr. this is not the cater. I am sure you will still be my friend." " Nut, no, Sir Thoutas! you be very kind when the election approaches, but the moment it is gone your memory haves you, and you forget those who served you. Never no more, Sir Thomas: never no now," This Gentleman upon hearing that Mr. Hunt was in Balmer gaol, visited hint, a,il wee amongst those who principally urged him to .stand for the county. tits zeal, we regret to say, was near proving fatal to him. He had been in an indifferent stet° of health for some dine, and, as it happened, was attended by a physician who was favourable to the other party. The conversation of the physician and his pat tut happened occasionally to turn upon politics ; and the latter perceiving that the former was hecurning a convert, made the obligation upon him to act upon the change in his feelings more binding by taking all the medicine he chose to prescribe._ The promise was given, whets poor Mr. was very r.ear to death's door; but 1112 dazeor, who probably did not think that his patient would survive the election, was seen by Mr. Hunt, who hod been MN:sena-el of his good intentions, giving not only Lie rose, bat hie interest to the opposing Conslitlatea..-e. I)--n hit blood," said the deceived patient, gasping for breath, on Friday last. " could he use me thus? Here have I been taking al the poken in his shop to make him swear according to hie con. science, arid now Piet he has almost killed me he votes for loth bridge. D—o all D. , ctors, they are as bad as the Attorneys." The spirit of Mr. Oliver Heyward, of 3ludford, is often spoken of in the county. He had been an Officer in the Yeomanry t7avalry, of which Mr. Dickinson is Colonel, but the moment he heard of the conduct of the Magistrates to Mr. Hunt in Ilchenter gaol, he re signed, and enclosed his resignation in a letter reflecting upon the arbitrary and unjust manner in which the power of the Magistrates of the county had been exercised. At six o'clock in the evening of Friday, Mr. HUNT got into his barttuelte, opposite to the door of the frown Inn, at Frome, and. standing upon one of the seat.. addressed the multitude who lead assembled in the large a ace before the house, in the fullowing terms:— " I AT, you see, returned without success, but not beaten t have I not gained my point. but I have left my adversarim.—l have lett I your adversaries, I mean. for they are indeed your enemies.—soine- I thing to reflect u pm. Theirs is no bed of roses; 1 have cast into I it sonic thorns, which they will find it difticul_• to reconcile to the I feeling of delight with which they anticipated a victory. I have at least the consolation to know, that if I have not been supported Recoiling to my wish and my expectation, I have held them up to I public contempt and ridicule, and effectually turned against them the weapons which dry had aimed against ute. (Cheers.) If you had attended the election, you would have seen how they shrunk I back in person front the contest when they perceived that the 4 wretched county press was not to be the sole vehicle of the pro ceedings,—when they ascertained that the London papers would de &tribe the real condition of the sentiments of the people, and give an impartial transcript of what was said within the walla of the Court. I Ifere it not for that great security, the county would still continue abused, and the potpie of England would be told that Hunt, the radical blacking man, was hooted out of Somerset by the gentlemen who support the old candidates (Otters). It has been supposed that I closed the poll, and many Nye just assured me that they were only waiting for the word of command to advance in a body from this town to the poll. This is precious news !—why did you not come at first ?—why (lid you not preform with zeal the promises which you had given, and not wait till it became disgraceful for me to be seen et I:cheater, where a straggling freeholder was now and then to be spied out ainorgst the gaping townsmen ? To be Sure, my opponents had a shells'. prospect (laughter), but that is but lit. tie consolation to me. The failure of their efforts to prevail upon the greet body of the freeholders to poll for them, could not recon- Bile to the bitter disappointment I experienced in finding that you were careless of your future condition, and inactive. (Cries of •• How could we help it ? we were bound down.") So I hare been told. Theright of election has been most basely interfered with. I understand that Mr. Shepherd, of this town, has already visi:ed a heavy punishment upon some of you who have voted for me (cries of " Yes, yes," and loud applause.) You are to consider men of that ' kind your decided foes. It is men like this Mr. Shepherd that most effectually undermine your liberty. This is the real state of slavery, and, while you tremble at the threat, there is no hope of regimes or retribution. (Cries of " What are we to do ?" and exprewiuns of great anxiety.) What are you to do? Nothing now, but lie untler the disgrace and the smart. The freeholders might have easily gained a victory—easily, but for their fears. Alt ! believe me that yru will suffer, and suffer keenly. too, and you deserve it. There will be, I hope, light crops and low prices. Many of you, even in this town, are starving now, and the number of the starving will incrtase. Nothing will bring you to a proper sense of your condi tion, until a law is passed to Compel you to flog each other every diceiday morning. (Loud cheers, and cries of "tis true, tie true.") Those two Candidates have come in. They are not to blame for that. It is the freeholders that are to blame. It is they that send the supporters of the taus, and of every measure for grinding the very bones of the laborious poor to dust, into that house which it is not now penal to say has just vomited forth her septennial filth, end is taking in more filth of the same kind. (Loud cheers, and laughter.) It is such men as this Mr. Shepherd who encourage machinery, and every other means by a hich the employment of the industrious Is diminished without any effort or wish to recompense the loss. Renumber this dlr. Shep herd, the clothier. lam far from counselling you to a breach of the laws; believe no slave who tells you so. (Loud cheers.) It has been said that I ant a dotterel of the working classes—that I pander to the vices and weaktuates of the lower orders. LI this flattery ? (Cries of " No, no; you arc no flitterer.") Have I ever told you that you have done as you might'? (" Never, never.") Have I not always told you that so long as you permitted such men as Dickinson and I . etl tbridge to enter the House of Commons, so long would every thing you want or ask fur be denied you, and denied eat. too, without tits ceremony of an effort to gain it? (Cries of " True, true. We have no hone of them ; but what can we do?") You must make sacrifices. You say you will late your employment if you vote for the man on whom you eon depend. If I our ancestots thought of that consequence, tile glorious foundation of our liberties— tits. foundation which the public assassin is now daily urdermining—tiever wculd have been laid. (Loud cheers.•, I You must ut.derga privations before you can hope to be benefited I to the full extent of your rights.

(('beers.) Alt. Hunt concluded by repeating his:anxiety to verve the county, amidst cries of " Hunt for over." Bi-EsrmoiLA-vp ELBCTION. [FRON OUR OWN REPORTEIII•I THURSDAY-SEVENTH DAY. The polling this morning was not so brink as usual on the part of the Blues, notwithstanding the encouraging prospects held out last night by Mr. Brougham. It was known at an early hour that Mr. Brougham had left Appleby at one o'clock in the morning, for Kendal, and various conjectures were afloat as to the cause of his doing so. tinnte isnagirted that it was all over with the Blue cause, aid that the poll must have finally closed at four o'clock ; while, 03 th, other hand, others omened that he was about to make fresh arrangeatents to bring up his voters, it being upon all hands acknowledged that his modes of conveyance are amazingly defective. At one o'clock a statement of the day's poll was pasted up, by which it appeared that up to that hour Colonel Lowther headed him on the day's poll by upwards of one hundred. This was looked upon as decisive, and the Blues were completely chop-fallen. Before four o'clock, however, it was understood that 11 . . Brougham had returned to Appleby, and great anxiety was manifested to hear from himself the present aspect of their cause•. At five o'clock, as usual, the Uoder-Slicrilf announced the state of the poll. _ _ G rnfol Poll. 16311 I MA 1262 Day's Poll. Lord Loather . • 247 Colonel Lowrher . 237.

Lord Lowvore then came forward. amidst very general cheer ing, and addressing the eleetore, said. that the smallness of his op. ponent's minority upon that day's poll amply compensated for the smallness of his (bird Lowther s) majority yesterday, though with each day's polling he had good reason to be satisfied. as each day added to his majority on the poll. (Cheers.) Ile had been taunted with not possessing the gift of prophecy, but they must have per ceived that the prophecies of others were not seen to be realized one iota more than his own. (Cheers from the Yellows.) It was all very:well to joke, and doubtless jokes were very good things, but facts were notch better; and from the Cute to be gathered by a 'tingle glance at the state of the poll, they might form a bedew judgment of what was to come hereafter, than they could form from his predictinsa. (CI: revs and a laugh) Amongst the topics which hod been principally dwelt on upon the preceding evening, was that of the orders which it was said that he had given to his agent* and solicitor% for putting the long oaths to a certain class of freeholders, if they prieented themeelresat the poll. Now he wished it to he dis tinctly understood, that he would never have given such (limed , nsas respected those persons who were resident freeholders sntl possessed of Vero Ale property in the county. (Cheers.) At the two first elections which hod been contested, the long oaths and the oath of supremacy had never been put to the electors; but when he and his brother found themselves and their voters opposed in every possible way, they thought it perfectly justifiable to use those means against another description of voters whom his opponents would be quite shocked if he ranked amongst the mushrooms. (Cheers and marks of disapprobation.) He was quite aware that Mr. Peter and other gentlemen of the Catholic persuasion had purchased :.eeholds for the expellee purpose of voting against him, and, however re spectable Mr. Howard of Corby might be, hr mold not see where the line was to be deawn. There were other C.atleollc Gentle men equally respectable. and, unable to draw the line, he gave di reciione that it should be administered to all. (Cheers front the Yellows.) The Hon. Gentleman seemed to claim something on the score of liberality, in allowing Cleholics to vote against him ; but he well knew that in this instance the reciprocity.like the Irish man's horse, wu all on one side. (Cheers and laughter.) And as It was all on the side opposed to hint, he had no hesitation in de eding the molls to be administered. (Cheers front the Yellows, hisses from the Blum.) They would perceive that lie had a ma jority of 3011 and upwards upon the guise poll, and he felt in con sequence bound to think than sincerely for their exertions in placing him in etch a triumphant situation. (Cheers.) Colonel LowiliEn said, hat Irefully expected to have seen the town crowded that intoning with the freeholdent that had been molten of by the opposing Candidate on the preceding evening. Ile felt confident that he demi I have seen at least six hundred of them flocking in; in short. nothing could be further from his ex. pectatien than to find a majority in his own favour of I 14 or 120, or about that, on the day's tal. (Cheers trout the Yellows, hissing from the Illttn.) Thev . iteerd a great deal said about mushroom voters, and they should then hear a little more, Anxious to know 1 how far his opponent had strengthen gal his poll by these mushroom votes, he went to the Assessor's Court. and, after a careful exami. 12360 LL• be alighted neoe a 151 pit. 1i414 covey of seventeen of them A little further down he found a small party of a &gen or re more, besides split votes. Indeed, he believed that there were awe' (ether as many as hail been rejected upon their side. (Cheers emu the Yellows.) Were they, then, to blame, because th had taken a lesson from their opponente, who at the ' last el ' played the acme game and with the same result as he trusted it tiegyEtt at the present contest. (Cheers.) Ile then thanked n) for their exertions, and assured them that in every quarter of the county he was ready to meet his opponent whatever. advantageOilir might have over bin. lie had been deprived of lira *genie and his counsel, and how had lie taken ir ? Why he bore it patiently and quietly, because he felt assured that success was inevitable, when he recol lected the promises which had been given, and the warm attach ment which had been professed towards him during his canvass. (Much cheering.) He had already on three occasions stood as a candidate for the representation of the county of Westmorland, and he should be always ready to answer the call of the freeholders. (Cheers.) He sincerely thanked those gentlemen who bad sup. ported hint in the present contest, and lie hail no doubt but that, should the election last three days longer, he should be at least one hundml a-head upon each day's poll, without calculating his pre sent notiority. (Much cheering, and hisses from the Blum) Mr. Ilttotredmet then presented himself, and was, as usual, re ceived with three cheers from the Blurs, who are always in as great a majority before the hustings as they arc in the minority upon the poll. Ile 0 tid that it was in the first place necessary to set right a mistake which had been occasioned that day. (Mr. It. having paused for a moment, a person in the crowd cried out," Go on.") . I will go on, friend, when I choose myself, and not when you choose." In coneequence of an arrangement between his Counsel and the Counsel of his opponent. by which they were to accompany each other to London. by a most extraordinary tote take on the part of hia Learned Friend. the Yellow Counsel, he went, or else some one went for hint, and informed the Yellow Committee that he was going uwny that evening, the election being over ; and the Yellows, as might well be conceived, being very anxious to have done with it, swallowed this wnole, as if it were a niushroont button. (Laughter and cheers.) They bolted it whole, and began, as he understood, to draw in their fligs, to dis. perm their bands, nay, they even went so far as to shut up their pub lic houses. (Cheers.) Now he wished so well to his friends, the Yellow, he meant the Yellows in that corner (pointing to the house where the Yellow freeholders are quartered), who he was eer. Min wished him no ill, inasmuch as he was the very bestfriend they had (A laugh), Inc if it hail not been for hint, he could not conceive how they could occupy themselves upon that day, certainly not at the cost rind charges of' the Lowther*. (A laugh.) Believing, therefore, that that which would give most pain to them would glee the greatest satisfaction to those Yellows on the hustings--namely, to see no mote of him (Mr. Brougham) there. Now, for fear those good men in that corner s'iould feel any alarm, he thought it but fairness to them, as well as to their patrons upon the hustings, to express himself upon that occasion, so that there should be no mis take hereafter. Ile would not have those mushrooms on the ground floor cast down or depressed, uor those upon the first floor overjoyed or elevated, et the idea that the election was nearly over, for it was no such thing, (Great cheering front the Blues), as they should soon see upon that day, when all accurate men of business stinted up their account* and struck their balances—on Saturday evening. (Cheers and laughter.) They should then see how many of the present majority of 300 his opponents would be able to mairtain. Ile wished it to be observed, however, that he had not the least objection to go on beyond Saturday, though he would rather close it on that dey, which might bedone if his friends would exert themselves etererly upott those two ensuing days. If all his friends, however, stiould not have polled on Saturday night, Ire pledged himself that he would give then) an opportunity of doing so on Monday, and on Tuesday also, if necessary. (('!teen.) And then they should see what would become of the mejority which the Noble Lord and his loather had just then so louely bragged of. (Cheers.) It now tarred out that neither theme who were, I , ,r those who were not, Lords (tithe Trearurv. possessed the gift of prophecy ; and he would tell them how he (Mr. Brougham), who was not a Lord of the Treasury. had been deceived. Ile had polled kwer votes in the Kendal Ward than lie had expected. Ile had calculated 70, whom lie knew were in town yesterday evening ; but some of them had a difficulty in getting to the poll, and lie had polled lesi by 20 than he expected in that ward. lie admitted one fact, at which lie was both surprised and disappointed—he admitted it, be. cause he wished to conceal nothing—he had nu wish to make any representation which mild tend to make their btfairs appear more favourable, or their adversaries less so titan they really were—he held it to be the grossest of all follies to treat them as if they were children, by giving them a more flourishing account of their case than the facts warranted—it was a ridiculous and mischievous de ception, which a few hours must neceesainy set right. Such a enure,: was wrong in its principle as well as ri!ly and fruitiest'. He would, therefore, tell diem :nifty and openly how their case stood as contrasted with that of their opponent*. The circumstance, then, at whieh he was both surprised and disappointed was, that their oppo. news should have polled lir nit' K. tidal Ward more than they had. Ile did not imagine that they would have polled so many as 110 in the Kendal Ward, but he should be sti'l mime surprised if they r ow 110 t h ere w ene rrow. Ile eae not surprised tit their having pulled 114 in the Arrest Ward, for there it was that their great strength lay. They had not exl.autite4 their strength in diet ward yet, and it would not mach surprise him if they polled as muny as ninety-fear again tn.morrow. Neither would he be surprised to hear that they had polled a great number is the Cast Ward, for lie was aware that great acacia.. I.ad been making in and quarter, and therefine he would no: tell term that they would be exhausted there tin-morrow, bet they would ebserve that their pace would be slackenee. while the Blues would be ob served to tuireese rather than to slacken theirs. (Cheers.) Since he had seen three last lie had been, as perhaes most of thou knew, to Kendal, in order personally to ascertain how the Illuai stood there. AA `neon in the crowd here created a disturbance, 'calling out to Mr. Brotigham, who at lest said, " You may•go. my friend ; the houses are opened again since I beesn—they are more in your way than attending to speecties."—Direat laughter and cheers.) He had heard oppo.ite accounts of the arrangements entered into at Kendal, ter bringing up the voters, although there was no great difference of opinion as to the numher of votes reedy to be polled. He therefore went there to satisfy himaelf, and also that he might be enabled to reread to them the result of his observations.; and he felt happy to tell them that the result fully confirmed the stattenent which he hail yesterday made to them, as to their remaining streurh in the Kendal (Valli. (Cheers.) lie had not exaggerated their strength a single jot in that ward. Ile had stated to them that the Blues had in that ward 3413 votes unpolled up to she night be 'Ore last. Of these 55 had Offal on that day, and let on the day preceding, making together 130 ; and there still remained lbe, of whom he was as certain as if they hail already polled. There hail come over since he left Kendal 14 or 15 coterie not from the town of Kendal but from its neighbour:gee]. In the Lontelele Ward he had told them that he had 53 remaining, and, of these, three had polled that day ; so that all remained yet in that quatter. That being market-day at bonsilale, it was, of course, attended by those persons; but to-itiorrew they wined wee a great preporian of them brought up. (Cheers.) There remained a considerable force also in the East and West Wards, which he expected to sec in Appleby on Friday and Saturday, or, if not then, in. the beginning of the w(Citl with Ile had heard a little from the other side on that occasion a b ou t t h e mus h room tra d e , an d hie friends were charged growing mushrooms. (One of the Yellows cried out, "17 and 12.") Yes, so it was soul. Two beds had been men tineed, one of 17 and the other of 12. But these wire very differ ent from the number discovered the other day, being no less than 140 or 150. But lie meant in assert that these 17 and these 12 (if these indeed were the numbers) were not mushrooms, they were not at all such votes as lie had objected to out the other side. Had they 100 such as his, he would offer no objeetion to them. H. would explain the difference between the two kinds .1 voters, and he hoped the Gallant Colonel would comprehend it ; at all events he was sure that they would. (Cheers ate) a laugh.) If several independent men—respectable yeomen, or others of iVestinorland, Cumberland, or any of the adjoining counties. feel. ing an interest in the principles by which the Blues were actuated; feeling a zeal for the independence of that county, arid hating the domination of the Lord Lonsdale—if from these laudable motives they wished to get freeholds in Westmorland that they might core with the Blues, and against the Lord Lieutenant and his fa mily—if they qual ified themselves, and after paying the put.- deuce-money, came forward as volunteers, they could not be consi,lered as manufactured or made votes, such as those made by Colonel Rehm), or the parson, to whom he had applied the term of mushrooms. But was this the way in which the manufacture had gone on upon their side ? No such thing ! —could they call those independent men who went to Col. Bohol at Storrs, of a morning after his breakfast, in older that he might make freeholders of them ? Some of them were colliers, patriotic men doubtless. who would accommodate their con trymen with fuel. Some of them were shipwrights. who doubtless felt a deep interest in the prosperity of trade. Others were ticket porters. who, animated by a spirit of the purest patriotism, delivered their burthens and drove their cart , about the streets. (Cheers.) Those classes were all composed of independent men, sauteed by a love of Lowther domination, and all indignant that Westmoreland should be free—they entered the hell of Colonel Bolton, after his breakfast, calling out to him, " For God's sake, dear good Mr. Bolton, do come to our assistance ! Al e are miserable at the pro. spelt of the independence of Weatmorland. We are afflicted at the chance of the Lowther& being defeated. We are haunted by night--our very dreams are trutabletl, anti our waking thoughts dis turbed, lest the two sons of Loot Loesdale should not be returned for Westmorland by that Noble laud's reninatlon. (Laughter.) rn pity to us then, dear Mr. Bolton, we conjure you to pity our deep distress and intolerable alarms, lest toe domination of the howthers, which has lasted u Jy ore IsurAred and twenty years, should be now put an end to. (Cherrs ) Then. in God's tam , dear, kind, liberal, condescending 31r. Bohan, go give us the forty. seventh part of that great field there, wheel is worth about 120/. or 1301. a year; do qualify us; do prevail upon Lord Lowther to bring us up to Appleby, and quarter us in the great tarn there, that we may be enabled to do our duty to our country, by voting against the independence of Westmorland." (Greet cheering.) Ile would pledge himself that there were no such voters as these upoe Weenie, and he shrewdly suspected that those who were assembled at Col. Bolton's were not volunteers, but men pressed into the service to keep up the influence of Lord Lowther. It would be seen on Si. turtle) , or Tuesday, by how many of these manufactured votes the election would be carried. Ile It d told them hi. strength, and if enough of time were given to briaf them um, he had s:ill enough to give him the majority. (Cheers. He eeltorted them to regard as nothing the majority as it at present stool upon the pull; fur when they had run out their strength, the Blues would go on, though it might carry the election well into the next week, so lung as they had any force remaining. (Great cheering.) Mr. Blast:011AM then offered to give up the contest, if the propo sition he was about to make were agreed to. It had been 1431,1 that at the last election the sense of the majority of the resident free olden of the countretee opposed to the Blue eateseee He twang to assert that this was not the case; fur he had examined the poll books himself, and had had them examined also by two other per sons. and the result was. that deducting the non-residents, the ma jority was in hie favour. 'rite opposing Candidates denied this, and lie was then ready to go to issue with them upon it. (Cries of " Hear, hear.") His proposition was, that he would give up the contest, if it could be shown, upon reference to the decision of two scrutineers, from the poll boo ks of the last election, that there was not a majority of resident freeholders in his favour; and he wished also to observe, that he would not be particular as to three or four votes—the majority should be decisive. Colonel Low TII EU, who had retired from the front of the hust. ings, again cenre forward, and waving his hat to the crowd, said `. No compromise, my lads ; we'll stick to each ether as 17C stand on the poll. (General and continued cheering.) MT. Banuotteet—Then Gentlemen, as they have not accepted my offer, it' you please you will go on to-morrow. (Cheers.) And we will give three cheers for the real freeholders, and no mush. rooms. (The cheers were accordingly most enthusiastically given, and the Meeting separated. It was said that Duffy (the orator) was to have made his appear ance, as Colonel Bolton, in the course of the evening ; but it was decreed that his admirers should be disappointed; for though lie did make his appearance, it was in the character of a crier, distributing a squib, which was uncommonly stupid. The celebrated Mr. Jiffrey, of the Ed;nba,gh Ream-, has been here for some days, conspicuously decorated with the insignia of the Blue cause, Ile attempted to vote for Mr. Broughareederiving his qualitic pion, as a voter, from a small house consigning of 2 rooms, in some little village in the county ; which house, be it observed, is held jointly by himself, Mr. Stuart, and Mr. Mackenzie, a writer to the signet. Ile, however, refused to take the freeholder's oath, and was of course not allowed to add to the numbers of Mr. Brougliant's poll. The election hitherto has been uncommonly dull in the way of squibs. The following, which has just come out, is one of the bed 1 that has appeared. WESTMORLAND ELECTION.

Besides, if such a priposition were to he acceded to, the sixy rerierlag stk. men who had supported him at the lest drama, arof who bad signed a document declaratory of their intention to withdraw thst support, should be deducted, as elso see oty or eight, more wl had proanhod to support him, but had notcome forward to do so.

He then thanked the electors for having raised him to the head of the poll her large a majority, and withdrew amidst great cheer. frig from the Yellows. Colonel Lowe :tin then addressed the electors, and said that if fresh vigour were required in order to 'order his cause etteimadul, the majority on Met day's poll was istiffivient to impart it even to an expieng rouse, being no less than 190 makihe altogether on the gross pall, he spike in round mantas, a majority ui tea in his favour above the poll of the Honourable Member for Win chelsca.

He had listened most attentively to that exolanation. but all that he could under. stand or' conjecture, from what, the Honourable Gentlemen said, was that lie must have some pet name for those intishmotha thee voted for himself, and lest he should give offence, he (Colonel Lowther) would therelors, in future Call them funguses.

(Cheers and a laugh.) Fur his owe part, he would rather be ezpotied to the waggery of the Colonel, dap garotte as he rearmed it was (great laughter), than to the jockey ship of hie Noble Brother. By the arraugeatente which the Noble hoed bad made on that occasion, he had fairly jockeyed the Blues out of their means of conveyance. (Great uproar amongettbe Yellows.) That uproar proceeded Rom the tetral.—colliets—and sane of the band disguised as gentlemen, and others in their livery, which they called their uniform It was not to be wondered at that they should maker noise; for, in feet, they were hired proteraional noisemakers.
