Irv. He hoped that sit* aft Nefefliloll6, that he was lost a man brought forward Mtn public life, be opposed to/emptiew wherever he could catch. hold of it, and *hewed what he was willing to the if a llowed a more extender' 'where of action. Varlet nog to the aoliciratimis 'tif the electors, so tottering to him, and hoping that the struggle would not prove altogether usAers, he came forward to ap. • peer again as • Candidate fur the suffrage of the - Ammo of Westisicoter. He came forward to do this kik in order to secure the independence of Wirstininster. He was as sensible as any man ..‘whe heard him of the necessity of unarm its times so tisrilous to the liberties of his country ; th e y %s i g h t depend on it that Is, would hot come leeward to distorts fleet uoiusi ~,,, gst the friends of freedom on slight or trivial growl& ; but they were not slight points on which Mr. Lamb and he differed, they were points of great importance. as they con. crowd the welfare and the very existence of the people of England as a free people. He came before them as the opponent of Mr. Lamb, be. cause lie conceived that he was returned at the last election contrary to the real wishes of the electors. (Cries of 4 , No, no.")—Of coarse there were many persons present who thought that was not the case, but he would state it as his solemn belief, that Mr. Lamb wee not elected by the free choice of the electors. He would in the face of the electors sod of the country stale it as a fact, that many of the electors who would have opposed the return of Mr. Lamb, were through him disfranchised at the last election. This fact alone would warrant him in corning forward on the present occasion; for it was only by the full and free exercise of the elec. tive franchise that they had any thing like the shadow of a shade of their ancient liberties. No thing remained to the people but the exercise of that right, and if, through the doctrines of a Re turning Officer, or by the suggestion of any Tax Collector, a large portion of their fellow-citizens might be disfranchised, then the form of returning Members to Parliament would be a mere nullity, and would be found of no effect whatever.—(up. please.)—lt was therefore on this ground that he Imo came forward, as also because he t•onsidered that there was an illegal interference with respect to the franchises of the electors. The arts that had been used, the manlier in which meny persons were brought up to the poll, was unconstitutional, and the Gentlemen who supported Mr. Lamb had often condemned the practice as much as himself. There was another point of great importance on which he opposed Mr. Lamb, for on many minor points he agreed with Mr. Lomb, and he was wil ling to say, that OD these minor points Mr. Lamb acted well, but that Gentlemen never could get over the simple Get, namely. that he does not agree in opinion with the majority of the electors of Weeminster on that question of paramount import ance—a Retold of the Parliament. Mr. Lamb had referred the Electors to the Parliamentary Re• gister„ in order to see what he had said on the question of Reform. He could save them the trouble, for he had the speech in his pocket.— There was not hi that speech one word about an nual Parliaments and universal suffrage. Mr. Lamb on that occasion said. 44 that whatever might have been the march of Reform, of which they had heard so much, he thought that it had been marking time' rather than advancing—it had bean marching here and there, and kicking up a dust in its progress ;" upon which. (comineed Mr. Hob. house) there was a laugh ; and as Mr. Lamb hap. pealed to make the House of Commons laugh at she cause of Reform, he hoped he would not be angry if lie would make the electors of Westmin ster laugh at liim.—(.'llach laaghter.)—He made the lion. House laugh, and this was what Mr. Lamb called doing as much as any one else for the cause of reform. Mr. Lamb, indeed, seconded the mo tion of the Hon. Baronet, but his support on that occasion brought to his mind the mode of putting four horses to a carriage in Ireland ; there are two before and two behind.—(a larres.)—ln fact his speech on that occasion, from the beginning to the end, von a tasteless and spiritless banter on the speech of the lion. Baronet. Again. Mr. Lamb said that the House had been employed in pulling down the system of bribery and corruption; yet this was considered altogether below the notice of the Radical Reformers. Below the twice of Radical Reformers ! This is what Mr. Lamb .called helping the Bavooet.—(A laugh.)—Allud. :nig to the absence of the Hon. Baronet, be said the 'Hon. Baronet had, un doubt, been consuming the midnight lamp in framing the Resolutions he 'brought before the Heuer. With respect to the 01 , 1166D0U of Reform itself, Mr. Lamb said he would wish to see the elective franchise extended to popu. lone towns, where it did trot at present exist—he would wish to see corruption exposed.—He viewed those abuses in the light that he viewed the abuse of every other constitutional function. This was the language of Mr. Lamb—but this language did not redeem the pledge he had given un the hustings, when be (Mr. Ilobhouse) asked him whether he would support the plan of triennial Parliaments. and extending the suffrage to householders, lie .nodded assent. But the notions of reform be breeched in the House of Commons were entirely futile—they were similar to the plan of reform brought forward by Lord Joho Ruben, an excel lent and patriotic young Nobleman ; but that plan !would be no longer entertained by any man in his -artier'. Mr. Lamb was altogether silent. He said nothing whatever about extending the franchise to householders. lu fact his opinions as to the para. mount necessity of Reform were as different from the opinion. of the electors of Westminster as any conflicting opinions could he. He said he did , nut consider the Reform of Parlionseut as the grand panacea—that was the opiniou, he said, of political quacks. He did not think that reform would make provisions cheaper; he did out think that it would enable all men to wear woollen •clothes, amid to drink no water.—(a losostis.)—And this woo what he called supporting the Honourable Baronet, and doing as much as any one for reform ! —(a laugh.)— But this was not enough, there was somethiug better to come.—(o laugh ).-.Mr. Lamb amid that he performed a difficult trek; he (Mr. I lobliouee) did not think so, 'he only made fun of reform. Did the electors mean to retorts ouch a matt into Parliament ?--did their' mean again to send him as the colleague of the Hots. Baronet In his opinion, there could he un wider distinctiou illso existed between them. They 644 tas Well lisle two persona.-Me to build ojy mod the fiber 3' to poll flown. Ifir. Lamb himself had ail there fres • wider distinction between those persists who followed the line of politic. which the Homilensble Baronet hod pursued, anti) Mrs Lamb, them vitiated between any other political parties—for. Intoner. shift etisted between him and Lord Caotlereogh. He hopes! that the electors would .to the utmost to return with the Hon* Baronet a colleague in his confidence, Old possessing the same principles; for surely the support he received from Mr. Lomb Wee Cu support at all. if that gentlemen shelved his friendship on all eicemions in a similar way, thee h • would much prefer his enmity to his friendship.... Mr. Lamb again in his speech declares, that what. ever reception he might inert with, still wool' he consider that House all the Utile represents. live of the people. The true Representative of the people ! It why quite unnecessary fur him to observe on the phrase ; it was putting the matter before them, to use the words of Mr. Lamb, in • eery intelligible shape indeed. But he considered the House not merely the true retire. 'emotive of the people, hut the third branch of the Government, and he hoped that in the 'seat of debate be had mid nothing derogatory to the re spect he ever entertained for the House. Now he (Mr. Hobhowse) would beg of them to consider what the House of Common, wee of which he said this—he said it of a house of Commons that might well he considered as the most parricidal to the liberties of the people, that had ever diegriced and polluted the walls of that infamous place of assembling (Load and continued cheers) that House of Commons which aimed so many death blows at the constitution—that House of Commons which deprived the people of the right of free communist with each other, both in speak ing and in writing—(appiaase)—that House of Commons which invaded the liberty of the press— that House of Commons which deprived the people of the ancient right of carrying arms for their de. fence—(Continued cheers)—that House of Com mons which did so much in so short a time, to degrade its own character, end to destroy the liberties of this land—that Home of Commons, Mr. Lamb thought tit to call the true Representa tive of the people of &wired. If it be the true Representative of England, why, in God's name, did he seek for • Reform at all ? why did he waste his time on the subject of Reform ? If he con• eider it the true Repreresitative of the people, these Reform is unnecessary, because Reform could only make the House of Commons the true Repre. sentative of the people; he had better say that he did not consider Reform necemary ; that he had said something about Reform on the hustings at Westminster, bat that afterwards he knew more of the subject. Every person who would take the trouble of reading his speech on the subject must see how different were his no. lions of Reform, and how limited from those cherished by the electors of Westminster.— Every one must see that he (Mr. Lamb) had out in one single instance made good the pledge he h..d given of extending the right of suffrage to hou,e holders. Having said so 1111101 with respect to cie speech, he would now observe on another document which he held in his hand, which would *hew i!, a pretty clear manner the respect which Mr. Lail.b felt for the House of Commons. It was a letter written by Mr. Lamb.—(Cries of sh ame . s h inie and newels hissing./—lt was a canvassing letter. Ile would now ask Mr. Lamb whether it was his hand. writing ?—(Cordinned disapprobation, and some rip. plause.)—(Mr. Lamb here admitted that the letter was in his•handwriting.)—Mr. Hobliouse continued. The letter is not a private letter; it is a letter writ. teu for electioneering purposes—it is II canvassing letter. He would read it for them. It first stated that as no ministerial candidate had started, he would be Pure of being returned were it nut for the com mittal of Mr. Ilobhouse by the House of Commons. If exertions were not made on his behalf, the floase of Cummous would have the mortification of ',rim( a rejected candidate obtain prosperity merely fr , !a the circumstances of their haring attempted to pu nish him for a flsgrent insult and libel. " This," continued Mr. Hobliouse. " comes from a Gentleman who talks of his candour. This is the manner in which he expresses his sentiments of an act of the 'remit severity and injustice; an act which was condemned by every liberal mass in the kingdom." He was sure ilvit the true political Whigs never could approve of such language. He would give the ex elusive credit of it to Mr. Lamb himself; he would give him the credit of condemning the object in. stead of the authors of that punishment. From the Inter lie had reed. it was clear that NIG Lamb looked for ministerial assistance. He expected that the 3.763 voters who supported Sir M. Maxwell. would also vote for him in case there was no minis terisl candidate. Of those 2,763 voters for Sir M. Maxwell. a very great number of theta did not vote fur Sir Samuel Romilly, but they would vote for the Gentleman who appeared there as ■ person affecting to follow the principles of Sir Samuel Ro. godly. They uow saw on what he built Ins chance of success—they now could understand the reason why he said onthing of Reform in his first adirer thwineist, and then referred them to his speech in parliament to find out, if they could, his p.ioet. plea. On that speech he would say nu opine at pre sent. but would be glad to return to the discussion of it whenever Mr. Lamb might think fit to lova* him to it.—(opplenure.)—He did riot think is possible that the Whip.—the true constitutional Whigs, would approve of Mr. Lamb's conduct ; of the conduct of the true Whigs, manifested" away late and interesting occasions. he highly approved— he applauded it; he would say much more °films.. but that lie thought it would look like arrogance in a person placed as he was, to talk too much of an approval albeit conduct. He would stea dily per severe in the line that he proposed. He left his case entirely in their hands. Ile appeared there io answer to their cull, and the appeal he made would not he made in vain. The High Bailiff then put the several nomina tions to the .hew of hands. when Sir Francis Bur den and Mr. Habhouse were declared to be chosen. Mr. Lamb demanded a p 1!, which did nut coal• wiener till three o'clock. About a quarter post four o'clock the stole of the poll was •unuunced, when the numbers ap. peered for Sir Fraoeis Borden le I. C. ilohhowe, E.g. Mom lii.

He would not venture to address them at all. had it not been foe some alseervations mode by Mr. Lamb in the coune of hie overall *hat day. Mr. Limb told them that he was the friend of Reform; for his pert he would tither have enemies than such friends. He described universal sulfroge as wild mod nointelligible. What. ever other objections might be brought against the plus,, he did not see how it email be called unite. telligible. There woo nothing us, in a man of 21 years or age or apuards hawing the right to vole. In truth. Mr. Lamb ridiculed the yore. lion of Reform. He could sot help addressing him in the language of ?Ware, u What! do you call ibis aborktog Oyster tetrads! A plague or such backlog." The letter reed . by Mr. Hobbouse that day ogaie brought to his mind the expressions of Aide, who, when accused of attacking the Prince, said he only abused the Prince to the wicked. lest the wicked should fall in love with him. 1, 1 the some manner would Mr. Lamb attempt to excuse his correspondence with Government coo. tractors. Of the result of the election he hart no doubt whatever. Ou the former election, the High Bailiff disfrolichised many of the electors who hod not paid their poor rates. Hr had done so resting on the decision of a Committee of the House of Commons, but that decision was not law. The Court of King's Bench had decided otherwise, and if the miner were brought to a legal terminatiols. he hid no doubt but the High Bailiff exposed himself to damages. fur thus presenting the exer cise of the highest and most valuable privilege of th,. subject. Mr. LAWS nest came forward. lie mill he would trespass brit little on the attention of the elector.. lie world adapt his eperth to the sltortoeso or the space he tilled on the poll. Those who were least elated in prosperity, were least depressed in univer sity. lie feared nut the result of the contest—lre had little doubt of its final issue. l'he only way that his opponent could shorten the election would , he, by resigning. There were many things said against him which he would take another opportunity of answering. He was accused by Mr. Hohhouse of having broken the pledge !who'd given to the elector.; he brought forward the printed report of a speech in Parliament, and the lion. Baronet arid, that be would rather have him (Mr. Lamb) against him than for him ; he certainly did him the honour to attach more importance to his speech than his vote. The report of his speech was certainly taken from a very respectable paper. which was generally correct. though not always so; he found that speech reported in • volume of the Parini. mentery Debates; and there he was truly reported to say, that if Parliaments were triennial instead of bring septennial, there would not appear so great • difference between the first and the last year of • Parliament. He avowed himself on that occasion to be the friend of triennial Parliaments. and it was not a handsome trick to select his speech from a newspaper which had omitted that important part of it; he might, and in candour hr ought, to have taken the trouble of making further inquiries to ascertain what he really did say before he pre. felled the charge. He (Mr. Lamb) was always forward to promote It caupe of Reform, but he was of opinion that the House of Commons wee only to be reformed by legal means. Much as he wished for Reform, and strongly as be was con vinced of thee oboist." of that House. lie was not for dragging the Members out by the ears as was recommended by the publication of Mr. Hobhoulie. As to the letter which they had heard read, and which lie supposed was purloined, he was more willing to avow it than his opponents ought to have been to read it ; he thought the read ing of that letter a violstion of confidence. He certainly did consider the publication of Mr. Hob house a libel, and • flagrant insult on the House of Commons, and that its author deserved the punish.. mint he received. They recollected the old 'doge— s, Oh! that mine sassy would write a book." His enemies had written books which did the authors no credit. He could assure his opponents that even their conduct should not prevent him from pur suing that kind, fair, and forbearing conduct which he hoped he had always evinced. The Honourable Baronet had quoted his favourite author against him; he, too, might be allowed to quote from Shakspeare—he would say to him io the words of Brutus-- "Oh! Cassias, thou art yoketh with a Isiah, That carries anger se the Sint bears are, Which notch enforeeth, Ames an hasty spark, And straight Is cold again." The Hon. Gentleman returned thanks, and con cluded by shying that be would appear before them each day to maintain his principles, and to meet every misrepresentation of his public conduct. Mr. Hoinousa next addressed the Electors He thanked them for this first demonstration of their kindness, and he hoped to receive a confine- SUCS of their support. With respect to the express. *ion* that had been made use of by Mr. Lamb, that he bad committed a broach of private conti. deuce, he (Mr. Hobhouse) •ould expect a direct explanation; he hoped Mr. Lamb did not intend to make use of any language disrespectful sea pri vete Gentleman. He thought the►e was as much chance that the statemet.t in The Times ores its car. reef as the report in the volume of Perilous:der, Debate: to which Mr. Lamb had referred them.— l'have was no reason to doubt the report of The Times. Mr. Lems—" Mr. Hobbeuse, I ay it is not true." [Mr. Hobhouse out appearing to have heard this observation continued.]—But whether it was correct or not the effect was the 5i.... What he charged Mr. Lamb with was that he forgot the pledge he had given with respect to extending suffra g e t o householders. He wee silent on that point. His Reform went to rotten sod convicted boroughs.— Mr. Hobbes*, twin adverted to the observations which Mr. Lamb mode on his publication. He could say ou his solemn oath, that with respect to vio lence he had no each meaning. In whet he published be meant to say, that the Howie of Commons de pended more ow the fear tban the love of the pea. pie. Mr. Lamb had said that be, Mr. Hobbower, was properly punished. He certainly was punished 'Atheist any vial. without any confession. or proof of the set for vilich hr suffered. He, an Bogbah. man « was used thus I Mr. Lamb said he was pro perly pouisbed. He would ouly soy. that they would be properly punished if tiny reirroed such a man. M►. Lamb had said that he meowed the letter with more pleasure theta be (Mr. Hobhorse) Cou Id have felt in reading it, he certainly felt no 'Armoire in reading it; as to writing such a letter, he eras incapable of doing so. It was a public ealarassiog letter; he saw it first so the table of his Costinutteesrooto; it was not eves directed to him. tool he knew that the sentiments it contained were not approved of by some of the best friends of Mr. Lamb. He concluded by hoping that the electors would persevere in their exert &&&&& s ; a strong elEirt would vindicate the bide. peudence of Westminster. esti place its freedon a rink from which nu party could dislodge it. After Mr. Hobliouse retired, the election was ad. journed to this day. and the crowd immediately dispersed.

The polling was renewed yesterday morning at the usual hour. Whether it was that the efferves cence or feeling of the extern attendants on the election bad subsided in the clamorous efforts of the two preceding days, or that the hustings at Covent garden. it being the first day of the Westminster Election, presented "• more attractive metal." the crowd, noise, and bustle, in King-street, and the other avenues to Guildhall, were not near so great as on the two preceding days. Within the Hell. the exertions of the electors indicated bot little variation from the slackness and langour which marked the previous polli►►g. At the close of the poll, the candidates occupied the same relative stations as in the morning. The numbers were as follow : For Mr. Wilma Alderman Car& 1,296 Alder... Wood The Lord M.yur. l,lll Alderman Thorp 1,019 Alderman Waltham* Ns After • partial cessation of the tumult in the Hall. occasioned by the exhibition of the nuns. berg— Mr. WILSON ndvanced to the front of the host. ings, and was received with • display of feelings of an opposite nature, and it was some minutes before the mixture of sounds permitted him to utter • word which could be understood. He said, it was far from his wish to detain the Gentlemen of the Livery long; but, as some misconception had arisen out of what he had said yesterday, he felt it due to them to offer to them some explanation on the subject—(Hear, hoor.) —He had then express ed his regret at having been placed on the poll above Alderman Wood, whose public services, he conceived, were such as to make him blush at be ing placed over him. From this it had been im puted to him, that he had either thrown out that observation or the purpose of having it believed that lie had formed • coalition with that popular candidate, or it was iuferred that he had io fact en tered into such a coalition. These inferences he wished now explicitly to deny. His interest was not united with that of any other individual : he stood before them single, and relying on his own claims solely, however they might be rated. At the game time, he did not wish to retract any ex pression of courtesy he had used towards the worthy Alderman. The kindness and politeness he had experienced from him and all his other col leagues, during the last Parliament, were such as to demand his best acknowledgments. He trusted that the general line of his own Parliamentary con duct was such as had merited their approbation : be hoped be had exerted himself to the utmost to redeem the pledge he had given. He now again pledged himself, that no private view, no indirect object, mingled itself with his ambition to be re turned a second time into the House of Commons ; and should he be successful, nothing should divert him from rupporting all measures calculated to advance the commercial and general interests of his tonstitueuts, and the real and altimete prosperity of the empire. He had beets occulted of ingrati tude, in that he did not advocate their interring with ability, while he enjoyed a seat in the Honer. His inclination and seal had certainly not been treating, and if he laboured under a want of abilities, he was sure they were too geoerono to visit the fault on his Wed.—(Cries of 64 Bravo.") —He should not say more, because the state of the poll this evening 'hewed they did not look on him as • person who had uttered any *Wog calculated to deceive, or who had resorted Se any other un worthy artifice to obtain votes. The present state of the poll was too flattering to him; it proved that he was not considered among them as a person who desired to control the votes of his fellow-citiateas. Whatever might be his ultimate station on the poll, be should be grateful. To be placed its the same situation he had occupied at the close of the last coolest, 'mold amply satisfy him.

The LORD MaTOll, offered the Gentlemen of the Livery his warmest thanks fur the honour they hod done him this day. as exemplified in the state of the pall. Circumstanced as they all knew he was. he had very little time to canvass in the customary manner; but he hoped that the good scum of the great body of the Livery would pardon him, sod not suffer that which was unavoidable to operate tit his prejudice. The gratifying accounts I.e had re ceived from his friends this day, assured him dist he should at least keep the same situstiou on the poll to which their favour had already raised bias. He did not like professions, but if lie knew himeelf. he should evince his gratitude if they tepoerd each confidence in him as to elect him to represent theft. —(.lpplarse.)—He should endeavour to discharge his duty by a constant attention to the commercial and agricultural interests of the country. and by labouring to the utmost of his humble abilitira promote the welfare of his coustitueute.—(.o - se.) Mr. Alderman Timer said he could not but feel very grateful to the Livery for their support of that tidy. Though the numbers polled were Not so liege as they commonly were at the close of the third day's poll, yet. for himself, he had reason iss be satisfied. He attributed the smallness of the poll partly to the circumstance that the fries& of the popular Candidates were engaged its fightiwg the battle of independence at Westminster and the Borough ; when they were done there they cook* turn their attentiou to the City, aid he had Do doubt that the result would be a triaimpliaot one.
