The monstrous Coalition between the JAccis INS and the WH 'Gs, which is at length publicly avowed, succeeded, in some measure, yesterday in giving a superiority of Votes on the Poll of the day to Sir FAANCiS BURDSTT. We trust, however, that every friend of the Constitution who has a Vote for the. County of Middlesex, and remains yet unpolled, will 'now come forward to join in routing the PhalanX vjch has made so shameless an attack on public honour and public principle. At the close of yesterday's Poll the numbers Were; For GEORGE BYNG, Esq. 3200 WILLIAM MAINWARING, Esq. 2722 Sir FRaNCIS BURDETT, Bart'. 2323 An immense Mob assembled at Brentford ) but from the. exertions of the Peace °faith Order Was geneval preserved throughout the day. DURHAM CITY ELECTION, Jvt..;±4. Tim arduous Contest at length closed yesterday aft , ..!rnooit, about five o'clock. During the last four hours of the polli a great deal of even betting was inside, ~ vhetlier Mr. TAYLott or Mr. WHARTON wou:,i be, thrown nut. At the conclusion of it, it Was found that the latter had triumphed. About n hour after the Post had left Durham, Mr. WHARTON and Mr. TAYLOR were even num bers-. Mr. TAYLOR having at the time twenty friends left as a corp de reierve, and from all the calculation's that had been made from the books, it ould not be supposed that Mr. WHAttroti had so ii any ; so much did he seem distressed for votes, that he left the hustings to go in search of them, and a friend of his, of the name of rweddel i came forward and endeavoured to personate a deceased brOtht.r, and was adually sworn on the hustings ; but this disgraceful attempt was , deteaed, and it is no , v in contemplation to India him for per. jury. Sortie other eleetion tricks weresuccessfully Played off. Several pavers came up to poll who had 4tade promises on both sides, in order that they Thight not be objected to by either, and by . that :means gave their suffrage without any scrutiny, to the great mortification of the Candidate who was the dupe. Mr. TAYLOR'S friends now perdeived that their EleCtion was lost, for when they sup. posed that Mr. WHARTON' had not a man to poll, it appeared that fresh ones came forward to the num: ber of thirty; who were unknown to them, which - Completely turned the scale, It was also found that no IeSS than thirty yotirig 'ben:, who were entitled, _had nut been made free; who would ..have. turned The —stale in' M.

He promiied to dedicate his whole time to their inte rests in Parliament, and to corrie forward on all oc casions when their liberties were in danger. He concluded with pledging himself to prove by adions his gratitude. A Chair, ornamented with orange-coloured rib bons, was then brought to the Hall-door, in which M. WHARTON was seated; and carried round the Market.place and streets. adjoining, followed by the, mob. S ome ill-humour was expressed at Mr. WHAP.ToN's having taken the precedency of , Mr. LAMBTON, he being the old Member. Mr. LAMBToN'S Chair was then brought, fitted up in a neat manner, and decorated with foliage and an abundance of light-blue ribbons, He was carried round the IViarket-place, preceded by four men bear ing banners, and two drummers. All the windows in the Market.place were filled with Ladies, who greeted him as he passed with " Long may the LAMBTON Family represent us ;" at the Same time waving white "handkerciefs : the whole of the large Market-place was entirely filled, and they almost shook the houses with their loud huzzas.

After the usull preliminaries had been gone through, Mr. FERGUSON proposed Mr. GORDON, of Cluny ; and General HAY, Mr. RAMSAY, of Barra, as Preses. The former was chosen, on a division 56 against 36; and this has been generally cdtisidered as the previous ques tion, decisive of the the sentiments of the County. . On the ptesent occasion, it seemed only to raise the hopes of the Minority. Every point regarding the reaificaL tion of the Roll of Freeholders was contested. To some, the Oath of Abkiration ; to others, the Oath of Trust, was tendered, on the part of General HAY for Mr, FERGUSON, no such formalities were re, quired.

This was 'an Aftion for an Ass:ndr, ah nOwayi worthy remal-k, but lOr the ludicrous turn it took. The Plaintiff is a Farmer, and was re.: turning from a profitable' ad vent ore, 7 4,a v en to rnaiket, when he called at tie Red Lion, at Huckerill, otherwise stile;{ fide. here quarrelled with all the /29veit deideis in grain i:e met, and was at last so impruient as to ihtimate that the Defendant, who was one of them, ;V:IS a d—d Irar ; die Dekndant very natCrally felt that his . cbarader was at stake, and that if he passed it over slightly, the Ptiblic would not telieve him at the next market-day, when he should tell them that he find brought all the grain he was in possesion cat to market, and that he felt no desire Ic Jeep up the price cirorn; he, therefore; repli-d, that if he rc.;- pealed the some obnoxious expressions; he would " knock his'd---n head about." The Plaintiff _ very imprudently did sti, and fife Defendant was as good as his word. Mr. GAR.Row defended the Aftion in a train of ,infinite humour, contending- that Mr. Smithson rod done no more than any other man woul,i have done in his situation.

Mr, WINDRAM re. plied very coolly, " You do this', Sir, to Or me oil my guard, but I am colleted; and though the liWs of courtesy bid me knock you down . , yet, as yOu have before voted for hie, and as I think it may teach you how to behave in fUture,.
