illiW' Is .....1 .• .. . choice of the electors of York.—This toast was amnia with enthusiasm. Mr. Dunpas. in retorting thanks, alluded to the unprecedented horiearr of which he bad now to boast, which was floc of being the first man, since the accession of the Howe of Brunei:kit, who bid been returned in is successive Parliaments, for the City of York. He pledged himself to continue the s true line of conduct which had bitiiiitokisineethim their col& knee, and Pot *relax from Ilia efforts in the cause of the people.—(!:real niTlowce.)—They tilw, lie said, to look icr'the commencement of A new reign, wli:Ch he Mooed wou ld b e b ong and viwyernus, and under a Prinwe who had avowed liruself to have been reared under the genuine prin ciples of the Constitution. It was only when the people were free that they could he called safe ; by mutual attachment could the howls of society lie alone s 'My held. The present King was the first since the accession of the blouse of Hanover who mounted the throne will t basing a competitor in a descendant of the exiled family. It must surely then be gratifying to his Majesty to find that the uttachinent of the people columned the same with his family as when they were called upon to support the !louse of Brunswick in a disputed succession. After some other temperate and patriotic remarks the Member concluded by returning thanks to the company for the honour done him. Mr. WYVILL, who appears to he ■ very elegant and accomplished young man, returned thanks in eqn.st strain of rustily and patriotic sentiment with his worthy colleague; lie pledged himself to assert Ott genuine principles of English freedom in Parliament. The seeds of liberty wete sown, and it only tequired proper culture to reap a rich har vest. It would take a greater effort than the Tures of Volk were capable of roar% to shake the pro grtss of constitutional freedom. He trusted they would ever find hint the firm advocate of the patri saw Outwits which had now secured him their suffrages.— (Applause.) " The cause for which Ilmnpden bled in the field, und Sydney died on the scayold," awl a num t-r of other cotietittiouo,l:oad patriotic toasts, were (kook with enthusidson.iii the c •Urlle of the evening. Mr. CMALONER, Colonel ConcE, and several I.;lser independent Gentlemen, inlilremed the mom iu .opport of ll'hig priucipler, and were received with asehmiatiouv. The company sat until n Lite hour on Tuesday night, in the enjoyment of " the feast of►reason and sta . /low of soul." IVESTAIIA'STEIt ELECTION. SEVENTH DAY'S POLL, THURSDAY, 31Ancw 16. At the close of the poll the numbers stood as fol low : for Sir Fronds Runlets 2 857 J. C. Hobbouse, G.q 2,873 Hoe. G. Lemb.. The announcement of the poll was received by both parties with acclamations. Mr. Jones BVRDETr stepped forward and was re ceived with the most cordial cheers by the crowd. lie threw himself, be said, on the genortnis feeling of his audience ; he had sit arduous talk to perform, accustomed as they were to the eloquent address of the Hon. Baronet, whose place tie could 1.1 in ■dtquately fill. Ile knew, however, that their generous feelings would make allowances for his deli. cieuces.—(tlpplouse.)—lt was ;mat all unexpected that they were that day a little behind hand. After one wan fast he necessarily must take some breathing time. Tne state of the pull was by no means discouraging, sea the contrary, it would only animate their friends to fresh exertions, they would he more active to bring up greater numbers to the poll for the next slay. The freest& of Mr. Hobhouse take their own time, they did not think that lie required !heir active assistance, and they staid away, but it was only for the moment. He had heard it said, that they ought to be contented with the Constitution as it is; he thought otherwise ; he for one was die contented with the present practice of the Consti. eutiors.---(Appirruse.)—lt appeared to him that the principles of the old English Coustitution ought to he established. The Constitution, as fixed at the Revolution of 1688, was founded on the ancient laws ; it was founded on Magus Charts—on the Habeas Corpus Act. The Constitution of 1648 was wade by the people for the people.—(Applause) —lt was made to give them additional weight in the Government—it was made to secure an in. dependent House of Commons.—(Applause ) The Coustitution of 1648 was formed on this prin. eiple, that the people of England should have new and frequent Parliaments.—(Applause.)-10 the declaration of the Prince of Orange, he states that one object of his going to England was to establish tree Parliaments—(Applause)—and in addition to this, in order to secure the independence of the House of Commons, the Act of William and Mary stated that tio pensioner or placeman, no person hold ing an office under the Crown, should have a seat in the House of Commons.—(Applause.)—He men tioned this, not for the purpose of raying whether it would be wise to establish the same principle now—that was a question he would not decide (ro— bot for the purpose of proving the great object of their ancestors to establish an independent House cf Ccumuins.—(4 pplouse.)—But that independent House of Commons no longer existed, Fr o m th e j•etit ion presented by Lord Grey its 1793,11 appear , d that the two hundredth part of the people were represented.—/ Loud rr its qf" They ore not") It rippeired that 84 inthindo.da returned 157 Mem ra to that House—(Applaase)—aotl that 70 other individual's returned 150 Members to that House.— (Continued appluise)—nioking 307 Members re turued by individual influeoce to a House of Com mons suppoSed to be the representatives of the peo ple. He had heard it said that if Mr. Hobhouse wished he might have been heard before the bar of that House, as if that could be any apology whale. tier for the odund, iniquitous, am! detestable power of arbitrary imprisuument exercised by that 'Haase—(.4jophare):—e power which in itself was one of the guest' giteearices of the people of Eng lsnrl,—( 4ppliuse.)—aut suppose he had been brought up, what would'it avail him ? before whom ;would he hive been brought ? Before men who 'lnd already condemned him—(upplause)—who were his Judges, his Jury, and who were to iuflict the punishment upon Wm.—(ap/Aurae.) Mr. LAMB next stood forward, he was received ~~. ._~,, _ .u v ep..rw r . , _ - . • 9. •••••• by his numerous friends with great enthosiosm—by his opponents wiihonuch opposition; between both parties he 'wool for some titue unable to proceed. At length he said that he thanked his friends for the exertions they had merle ; he found himself SIZ votes a bead of Mr. Hobhouse on that day's (Applause and ilicapprobatiurs.l—He wade a bar gain with them a few days before, that as he bore the superiority of Mr. Hobhouse on the poll with pe r fect good humour, that they would preserve the same good humour when be appeared to take the lead ; that bargain theyessented to, and he hoped they would perform their part of it. They were told that the inferiority of Mr. Ilobboose use that day s tool', arose from the voters wanting breathing time•—he believed they wanted breath ; they did not appear to have enough to bring them no to the hustings.—(Laughter and disap probation ).--He told them that his friends would begin to bestir themselves. He did tout think that the horse which started as the favourite would keep the lead, as his jockey had told them the other day.—(A laugh )—He would say little more, it was not necessary, as the poll now began to speak clearly for itself.—(Laug/der.)—The tortoise was putting forth his claws, though he did not shear so much agility at first. The hare, indeed, did nut fall asleep, but be was tired and exhausted, and found no assistance at all when he most wanted it.—(A laugh.) —The absence of the Hon. Baronet, who so eloquently addressed them during the election, had been adverted to ; he re• gretted his absence, but he did not think that the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. J. Burdett) who addressed them had any reason to make an apology for his speech. He addressed them in a handsome 'win ner, and his speech displayed a knowledge of the constitution of his country which au English Gentleman ought to possess.--(Applause.).— He (Mr. Lamb) deserved their thanks use one me count.—(A laugh.)—For the splendid eloquence of the Hon. Baronet they were all obliged to —(1'o/di/teed laughter )—Before he preaeisted him self before them, they would recollect that the wor thy and honourable Baronet never went to the hustings; far was he from saying it insidiously, boot it was a fie, that the honourable 'Baronet did not think fit to address them on former occasions. They were therefore indebted to him fur bringing the worthy Baronet before them.—(Applause and hough ter.)—He, it seeing, was the person that before all the world they most wished for, that they most loved and adored —(Applauses, and cries " Ile is, he is,") —was he not therefore doing a good thing to bring the worthy Baronet before them ? He would now withdraw. His best wishes reonaiiied with them, and he hoped to find them to-morrow in the same good humour iii which be now left theost.—( Laughter and applause.) Mr. Honnouse next addressed the electors: lie was received with much applause. Mr. Lamb had told them that the state of poll spoke a little fur itself. It was true, it spoke but very little.-- (Langkeer.)—lit the morning, which was cold and cloudy, they were lint so successful as in the lire viuus days of the election; but as the suit went forth, the exertions of Isis friends were called into action, and they polled certainly more in the course of the day than lie expected. lle owned, therefore, that the tortoise had done very well for a tortoise. Considering the make of the tortoise, and the psice of the tortoise, aid the weight which the 'tortoise hod to carry—(4 laud/t)—lie hoped they would give the creature no more impedoinent thou that which arose from its own incapacity. He regretted very much that Sir Francis Burdett, whom Mr. Lamb called a jockey, was not present —(Ap plause)—but it was lucky there was it horse before them.—(Laughter.)—lt was very fortunate that the animal to which his opponent compared him was usually of a noble and gene nature.— A very different tone respecting Sir Francis Bur dett had issued on this occasion from the board on which Mr. Lamb was standing, from that assumed by him at the la.t election. He did loot wish to recur to unplea.ant subjects, nor to rip up old sores. nor would he ever do it except to attain some public good. And it was with tins view alone that he alluded to the far different manner in which Sir Francis Burdett had been received at the last election by those to whom lie had the honour of being now opposed. But without pretending to a very deep knowledge of human nature, or an ability to scan the secrets of metes hearts, a reason might easily Ise discovered for this alteration of profession and language with regard to the worthy Baronet. if they looked at the state of the poll they might see why it hail not been thoaght prudent now to lay those colours too the worthy Baronet with which he had been so WI. sparingly adorned at the last election. Among the other shapeetio which -Mr. Lamb had been held out by Isis friends to the electors of Westonitoster, as an eligible representative. it was said that he agreed in polities with Sir Francis Burdett. Ile himself had heard the question put to electors, " Won't you vote for Burdett and Lomb; they agree in principle r A great part of Westrnio bier was canvassed on this very ground, but in other quarters of it, it html not been thought bide to use this language. For this cause it was, that it had not been convenieot to speak of their representative in such terms as at the last electioo.— (Here a ruicefrota the crowd cried " What do you think of the little horse nuts, Lamb ?")—Vor himself, lie was not ashamed to confess that he had derived considerable assistance and benefit faun the friend ship of Sir Francis Burdett. He did not seek to deny or conceal it ; too. lie was proud of it ; he gloried in it ; for to be thought worthy of the sup port of an iudependeut and honest man, war a just cause of exultation to any one—(dpplause)—and that Sir Francis Burdett told them froro day to day that lie preferred him (Mr. Hobhouse) to his op. ponent, was a source of unfeigoted sati-faction.— , Now that he was nut present himself, he hoped it would nut Ire considered that he wished to deal in fulsome praise when lie said, that the more he re flected on the career of that great man, the inure be was convinced of its being that only which an individual of true patriotism would wish tb Istinotte —(tipp/oure)--the more evident it Was to him i that tie bad struck out that line td poloist cuu- duct whtch a man of wisdom aura principle would on all occasions look to as a model, and feel himself obliged to iinitate.—(Loud applause )—'Far self, lie would out be tied down to the opnfroinref any man living; but so far as one individual . pf iudependent mind could &fir to the sentunents CITY ELECTION. Gs • and advice of another, he &mid always take Sir Francis Burdett as his guide, philosopher, lull friend--/ Load planditsj—and it wee not the Electors of ‘Vestminster only who had come to the same opinion of him, blot even mail capable of forming a correct and importiatjeldeineet. He should now turn to Mr. Lamb, atilt sk him if he had city hopes of 'being returned fur Westminster, except by those mewls, on the strength of which it was generally supposed lie had come forward—he meant ministerial support ?—(appluuseand hisses.) — he said this not for the purpose of taking any advan tage of Mr. Lamb, but simply wishing to put the question to hint, whether he thought it possible that that interest would carry a Member into the House against the Reformers of Westminster ? IVhen he (Mr. II.) had told them. the first rimy of the elec. lima that a number of electors had voted for Mr. Lamb who had not done so for Sir Samuel Romilly. 11111 that n vast proportion had also supported him who had given plumpers to Sir Murray Maxwell, Ire had suid what was demonstrated by a dissection of the poll. Ile asked bins then again, what satisfaction could he derive from such a return, should he even be successful ? In the last Parliament he had ge neistly opposed the Ministers, and on one occasion it, particular he himself had greatly applauded his conduct. He alluded to the Bill for restraining the Liberty of the Press, oil the bringing in of which Mr. Leath told Lord Castlereagh that he re garded it with perfect ;omit.. lion then could he find any pleasure in coaling in on the interest of persons whom he had thought it his duty violently to oppose us the enemies of the liberties and consti tution of his country, and whom lie should be oblig ed still to oppose, unless sonic jumbling together of the two parties took place. But if Mr. Lamb could even obtain a majority on the poll above him, which was very unlikely, he would only have aliewis that the Reformers of %Vestminster were not able to cope with a ministerial candidate. %You'd the honourable men of his own party act as Mr. Lamb was doing ? and was it not strange that they did not see many respectable characters stolid beside him, and come to the hustings with him, who had actively interfered in the election of Sir Samuel !triunity ? Could Mr. Lamb expect to be returned without ministerial influence and aid ? he was Con fident he could not ; therefore if be was so attached to the popular cause as he professed to be, could he p-r.evere in a contest, the result of which if he suc ceeded would be to add credit and confer triumph on those men whom he said he looked upon as foes to die common happiness. If a ministerial Candi d de were there, would it be expected that his ad v,-rsary and his party should come in and assist him (.VO, no, and great disupproiatien.)—He did not mean to say that they would, but he said that if one good turn deserved another, they ought to do it after their useful services on this election. Why should the electors of IVestminster choose Mr. Lamb ? Ile was not a Whig, at least not a IVhig of that order whom lie had heard of with 'Admiration in the year 1793—he was not a reformer, at least such a reformer as would satisfy them ; ill short, he saw nip reason why he should he returned, except that his Committee hail declared, in one of their edger ttsrments, that his elect• should be insured. He called 111/011 them, then, if they approved of his own principles, anti were tout deterred from the field by the unaj.•rity of yi which Mr. Lamb had obtained on .that clay's poll, to come forward and persevere iii their exertions, and to prevent Mr. Lamb from being sent into the House as their Representative', and from expressing sentiments there as those of his custatittat tits winch they did not feel.—(Applatise.) The hustings were theta cleared, and the crowd disgerstd. GUILDHALL. Yesterday a Common was held for the pur pose of formally declaring the return of the Mem bers elected to serve in Parliament. The slumbers having been more correctly cost up since the close of the pull, appeared to be, for— Wood 5,370 I Lord Mayor Wilson Corns The Common Crier then pronounced the elec. tion to have fallen on Alderman Wood, citizen and fishmonger; Mr. Wilson, citizen. and spectacle maker; Alderman Sir William Curtis, citizen, Baronet, and draper; and the Lied Mayor, citi zen. Aldermen, and whe.tlwright. Mr. Alderman WOOD came forward to return thanks, hut was culled from the frout of the host. logs for akw minutes. When he returned to his !dace, he thanked them fur the distinguished man ner in which they had returned I to serve them in Parliament. lie very much regretted &but a mistake had pretty generally gone forth respecting one expression contained in Ins address of acknow ledginent to the Livery. He might with safety ap peal to all the enlightened electors of the city. and indeed to the whole world, to say if the expression of " triumph," or "complete victory," which lie hail there used, could • be fairly supposed to mean with him any thing more than as the coldest kidded to himself. He could scarcely Winter there was a man in the kingdom who could put any other con struction upon the words. The ailihrsa would speak for itself, as it contained a declaretiou of re gret at the loss of his two political friends. When, he would ask, at any time, nr in any instance, bad he ever shewn any thing that could lead to a sus picion that he hail lost sight of the public cause ?. If in the case of a single vote that he had solicited or acquired, it could be proved that he had pre ferred his own personal considerations to that cause, let the 'instance he immediately adduced. He de fied any one to phew such an instance. He bad certainly felt that anxiety which must be common to all candidates, and fur which he would never blame any one to be placed high on the poll. But lie had not sought this by the sacrifice of the cause in which he held himself to be engaged. If they would take the trouble to examine tire pull, it would be found that lie had fewer 'dumpers than any one of the candidates. He hurl sleets asked for theist, awl did pot know at the timeihut they were given him, except iu the case of his own beadle, who crone and informed loin that 1w hod given hint one.—(Some one from the eruwd &tiled invited the party disputing with hint to come 011 the huatitiga and disprove his assertion. •He was be. fate then' to return thanks for the third lime for the same honour dune to him.

He would continue to *lmport the principles of public freedom as he had hitherto done ; sod he expected, when he came back to them again, to experience the same kindness and confidence which haei placed hien at the head of the pull.—(s , Necer a, more.")— His worthy Friend hod mistaken hint. the did nut say he expected again to be placed at the heat of the poll : he was observing on the great contidenee he enjoyed among the Livery, in proof of wiatle he had polled w..re than 1,300 votes in one it ly. This lie must consider as unquestionable proof that he enjoyed their esteem and support, whether he had done his duty effectively or not. For this he returned them his most sincere thanks. —(Applause.) Mr. WILSON said, that he had addressed them so frequently of late, little was now left for him to say. He was gratified with their manner of return. ing him : his gratificatiou would have been the same, whether first or second on the poll. The exact amount of votes could scarcely ever be known until the poll was cast up • second time; but the motives of hie friends in wishing to place him at the head of it, anti in using their best endeavour, for that purpose, were equally entitled to his acknow ledgments, whether they succeeded or not. He was prepared for the mistake which had at first been made in his favour; and it must be in their recollection that he hail made no assumption, at the close of the poll, in his own favour, from the cir cumstance of his being then placed, erroneously as it now appeared. at the head of it. He theta ex. pressed his gratitude fur his high station on the poll, which was the second indulgence of the kind he had received from them. It proved to him that they believed the promises which he had made to them before, anal would repeat now. They might easily have found a man whose superior talents would better comport with the dignity of repre senting them, but there was none more sincere in the principles he professed, and in his desire to serve theta faithfully and usefully. He had al ways from his early life had an impulse in his mind, which led him to support the existing Government of the country, in whosesoever hands the reins of it might be placed. He would listen to and support any proposition for the remedy or avoidance of con. tiogent or probable grievance. lie would repel encroachments on the rights of the people as fear lessly and promptly from the Ministerial benches ' as if sitting in Opposition. With these assurances, and a deep sense of gratitude for the honour con ferred on him, lie would retire.—(Applause.) Sir W. CURTIS was proud to stand on those hustings again, especially on an occasion so import ant. He had foretold that the feeling of the Livery, which caused his absence from them for a time. would retort', and the event had proved him to be a tree pruphet.—( Hisses and applause.)— He begged a patient hearing, as he should not de tain them long; and lie hoped no one would at tempt to prevent a Candidate from rooming thanks to a public body fur the favours lie had received. lie wished he could do it as calmly and diapersionately as the gentleman who spoke last, than whom they could not have chosen • more honourable and faithful person to represent them. He agreed with the remark in the address of the worthy Candidate (Wood), that the conclusion of the contest was triumphant. It was the triumph of loyalty over despotism.—(Applause and hisses.) — The worthy Candidate had boasted that no infiu eoce had beet, used fur him. Why, ha (Sir Wan.) had been the instrument of getting him hundreds of votes. An unfortunate fellow hod been lament ing that there lad been for twenty years before the last election, no primal ill the representation of the City who could. make a speech twenty minutes long. He would tell then. what had been the effect of their sending a speech-maker into the House of Comm tttt s. lie no sooner rose than he was regularly coughed down.--(Laughter and groans, applause and hisses, which continued while the Hon. Baronet was pronouncing several Wise. ?tient sentences ; they became consequently ittautli 61e.)—He would always support the same princi ples which he before declared and acted ou ; he would be true to his King—he would support the constitution as well as ally man—no man would aupport die constitution better than himself—no man was • better friend of the people.—(Alore in terruption—during which. we believe, Sir ham said, no man would more willingly light or die for the people and the constitution.) Coll him ministerial indeed !—whit had he to do with the Ministry, or the Ministers with him ? He would support the constitution against treason end 'submit nation—(llisses)—and lie would taut support wild democracy, at at had been shamefully supported by some persons. Shame cm them--they ought to he ashamed of themselves. The Hon.

Ile should be most happy to prove by his exertions in Pau lament bow 1411X11113% lie ass to fulfil hi, duty to them. to I boa country, and has King. As to his station on Ithe poll, considering the short time and the few up ..portunities left I • by his office for canvassing, it was rather outputting that he had risen so high. lie anticipated great and important advantages to the city from its bring represented by more nier. I Omits, whore knowledge. property, and education, t e n abled diem to be of great service to the interests of a great commercial body like the Livery. Ile returited them his thanks once inure, and wishing I the city an increase of happmeas and prosperity, ! would retire. I Mr. Alderman WAITBMAN said, that on occa- Moos like the present, when the trienda of the sue. cesaltil candidates were alone supposed to be pre. sent, perhaps lie ought to make some additional claim on their forbearance while he addressed them. lie differed so entirely au all particulars of public principle f the greater part of the successful candidates. that it would be id most impossible bar hint nut to asysoinething which would be injurious to the feelings of sonic present. He would steer a middle course, and acquit him self, us he trusted. its a manly manner. He had hoped, when they were suet together •pon impor taut public business, that there would have been some other Conversation than a mere bilkibg *brie who was highest or lowest on the poll. Ile hoped that those who hid triumphed. us they ;ins. glued, over what they deemed the pernicious pr e. ciples of himself and friends, would have rejot e.I their victory with calm minds, and not Wye chg. utilized or denounced those who were supposed to be their defeated enemies. It was not like the triumph of a pod cause for MCI to behave with such rancorous resentment to their Writ fees. It *hewed rather that the victory afforded no triumph to the feelings of the vainioisher.— For his own pint, he felt that he had really tr:. uinphed over circumstances the most wicked ale! appalling—ovet influence the most perincoma tyrannical. lie had received repeated declarations of regret from persons who were compelled to vote ageinst him for their own security.—(Croons hisses, and applause.)—He knew these were tender strings, which were 'tot to be touched without vilira time, and if his opinions were assailable by at:: more rational course, he was certain some or;e , would be found to come forward and state it honestly.—(Applause.)—He had a quick rye, aril knew the quarter from whence the opposition Bat bow was it that these persons who could net 4 ,4 en instant listen to him, so patiently heard the vituperations of the Hon. Baronet ? He hail pre. dieted that which had fallen out, that many viii... would he given contrary to principle.—( Hisses a nd groans.) Mr. Sheriff PARKINS begged them to bear all parties impartially. Mr. WAITHIKAN said, he was not to he ruffled by noises winch seldom came from into of sense, they gave him time to collect his thoughts, awl better to prepare his speech. There had been, a* he predicted, many votes given contrary to eillie•—(" There were no such voice', Mr. Sheriff PARKIN, again interfered. • Mr. WAITHMAN begged not'ling lice himself. There was an angry petulant gentlemen joist ander hum, with irritable tasters, whom he requested io come on the hustings anti he would hug a liteariiie for him. As to any noise he made below, it woul.l only hate the effect of keeping him a little longer in his eddies. A thousand vote, had bees given boils for himself and Sir William Curtis. Tl.is was like en attempt to mix oil and sinew; by what lug 'c it could be accomplished, lie wonlil not ottitertakie to say. He would put it to the angry irritable gentleman below the hosting', to say no what pri..- ciple those votes had been given ? Let it he decid ed one way or the other, he did not care whose principles should' be considered right ; lie would leave it entirely to them. One mast be wriorg.— When he found his Honourable (rural it the iv of the poll mid himself at the bettont. baying both of them in all cases voted the saute w..y, he would ask in what possible shape or [neither could the poll iudicate the min i ms*, of the Livery ?—(Applause.)—He had told then, before that the poll would be taken as the instil* of their sentiments.

Ho had hoped that the Baronet would have obstained from all personalities , . The 1;.- ronet had said, that his long speeches were Owes* , coughed down in the House of Cottonton% in , what single instance had !hi. occurred ? Ile hart heard Mr. Wilberforce and Mr. nerryett coughed down in the House; and, itherefoir, if the thing had happened to himself, it would have been an imputation, not on him, but on the Houve. But no such thing had taken place. One attempt hod indeed been mode to do it ; to use u vulgar phrase. a deed set had beets made against lion. lie kilos the quarter from whence it originated; but " lie took the bull by the horns," and .idolised the ela• moor at once.

The House, to os tumour, beat kened to his remonstrance, and several Mtenbsiii from either side came over and congliatblaked taw.

The Baronet bad said thins about the Court of Aldermen hail bees, butte dowti by a single bully and a einglettest. tidies did not mean himself, it WAS inispiaced, sir tiacie was III* other person worthy of Lis atteiiiims on the occa sion. He had asked the Baronet to his Incr, if lie were meant, and the Baronet said crriandy inn. If the Baronet chose to back out of it, therefore, lie could have no objection. lie h :d been asked Ity several persons in anonymous letters, and by sonic who made themselves known, to eay of lie Lad eser voted for the Catholic Question ? It was odd that many of these persons voted for the Wier candidates without such inquiry. He had never toted for the Catholic Question. He had supported a snow n fur referring the allegations of the Catholic Petitions, under which the table groaned, to a Committee. He would have done the same on a pealing coming from the w st man in the country. He was ashamed of keeping them so long ; he inka grateful fur the exertions which had been made ter him. From whatever causes those exertious bad failed,
