LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1520. The Elections ia the City and the Borough pro ceeded yesterday with seal and activity on the part of the several candidates and their friends, accom panied with the never-ceasing clamour and boiste►. 41114 merriment of the multitude collected in hunt of the respective hurting.. Coarse jests and rink ollusions to the public conduct of the I can didates for popular favour, were bandied about without much respect to character or person ; bat even through the homeliness of the language might not unfrequently be perceived a propriety of thought and strength of observation, which, if. better clothed. had been received as wisdom, or applauded as wit. We have frequently heard men aor no inconsiderable firmness of nerve declare, that they never dreaded any encounter so much as meeting a large body of the people on a hustings at A contested election. The war of words is so in cessant, and the random shots, let off with the most callous indifference to private feelings, are so hard to be avoided, and to return them is *et impossible, that the man must indeed posies, the as triplex of the poet. if not " around his heart," at least in his free, who can commit hii bark to so stormy an ele inset without feeling some trepidation. But how. ever displeasing this satnrualian license may prove to the sensations of those who are more immediately exposed to its grommets, such scenes are eminently calculated to keep alive the active spirit of freedom among the mass of the people, while the recollection of them, and the apprehension of being again obliged to encounter them, must, we think, exer cise a wholesome restraint upon the representatives of the people in Parliament, as all must be well *minted that the only shield capable of protecting them in the hour of trial is the consciousness of having honestly discharged their duty. The result of the polling yesterday in the City. tali very seriously altered the relative position of he candidates from that which they held on the 4111 preceding. Mr. Witsore now takes the lead; fie is followed closely by ti.r WILLIAM CORM, who is succeeded at about en equal interval by Alderman WoOD ; the LORD MAYoa comes 'lest, then Alderman THORP, while the lowest place in the list is, we are sorry to perceive, occupied by Alderman WAITHMAN. The following table will show at one glance the progress of the poll during the course of yesterday : Nam Sa n of Ma 0011tIllaNeWliftli gf Ike Day Mir's. Conic Wood. 14. Mayor. Thorp.

W Cannot bat remember than on the la.t election, the relative position of the respective candidates wig materially affected even during the last two days of the struggle. The lesding can didates yesterday were of course in high spline ; but to Mr. WILSON belongs the praise of elides votioiiqg by his conduct. at once ingenuous and liberal, to soften those asperities thist too fel-queenly attend public rivalry. Ills high compliment to Mr. Alderman WOOD dors credit alike to his feeling. and his judgment. A contested election is. of course, in general to be consult-rid as a trial of party strength with re fereoice to political priticiples, but there frequeritly intervene other consideration's, suggested by a view of individual character and private friendship, that the motives of political action. Far he it from us to depreciate the influence which such coosiderations ought ever to exercise. A man of good private character is, generally speaking, most ing of public coisfidence, fur talents without integrity are hat an equivocal good, and the pos session of numerous friends affords a presumption that he who enjoys so guest a blessing is deserving of it. In the instance of the present electiou in the City it would be invidious to speak of the private character of any one of the candidates in parti cular, for we believe it would be difficult to select six men in the City of London who stand higher and fairer in public estimation than those who now grace the hustings in Guildhall. In political sentiments they are supposed generally to be divided, three holding wh►t are called Whig principles, and three professing the doctrines of the Tories. IVe do not atiect to conceal our wialws that the three former should, in the present con test, he successful, and, we believe, that if in the polling, the sentiments of the majority of the Livery be fairly expressed, the success of the Whig candidates cannot he doubted. But this Ministers have very powerful influence among the mercantile body, and in the great institution, that coot, dime estriptially to the wealth and grandeur of the ►ue tropolis, and this influence will, of course. be exerted in favour of those Gentleineti whet are considered the Court Candidates. These Grese• 'Jensen also are very intima•ely connected with some of the most 'powerful bodies in the City. -and one of them iii particular, we allude to Sir WI Lst AY CURTIS, has for a long series of years had the merits of very lil►erally diepeus►ug benefits to many of his fellow-citizens, and of thereby at taching them closely to his interests. We believe, indeed, that there is slot a man in the City who can boast of so numerous and powerful a body of personal friends, independent of politicol you twelve's, as can Sir WILLIAM CURTIS. These friends hive exerted themselves strenuously in the present instaiiir, in the hopes of repairing the injury sustained in the last election, sod that be will by their means he one of the successful candidates, there is evert• reason to expect.

A Treasury Journal of lost 4 veiling stales, " That a C ttttt mis is immediately to be issued for the trial of the conspirators who stand committed fur high treason. The first step will be to summ o n a Grand Jury at the Muldlrsex S,ssion House, to receive the of indictment ; and should those he found, the Unas will then take place at the Old Bailey, in the form adopted on the trial of Minis Toot h ~." We are not aware of any pirticeslar form adopted in the Ca!! of HORNE TOOKE flifTerrot from any other criminal case before a Special Commission. There is a report that the prisoners will be tried for the murder of Ssi aliens, and not for high treason; but we most presume, (ruin the statentent of the Treasury Journal, that this ft pOtt is not correct. We regret to find born the Dublin Papers which have arrived, that party and irritating tunes have been iiitrooloced into its music by the band of • regiment quartered in one of the disturbed counties in the West of Ireland. This practice may have a niitchievoes effect, by awaking the remembrance of old grievances,and giving to the present outrages a character of political and teligions animosity.

There was a saying that placed prophets, roothsayers, and old women, in the same cla.s. The loss of lim e dinner had made his opponents ill-tempered, and Imo they resolved to squeeze him on the hustings, PO that lie ,hould scorcely have breath to answer them. This had been dune so effectually, that, together with the interruptions lie had experienced, lie had lust his own temper, and given them a momentary otriier. A 4aiit he disclaimed any trammel, on his Par!' inventory conduct. If they would trust him in Parliament, they ought tweer to ask him for pledges or promise,. As to guy local questions, they must be the best judges; but for those of K e n eral interest he must be free to judge by what might be offered in Parliament. He had before pulled 3,000 voles ; he was therefore not at all dis mayed by the day', poll. He had never had a vote promised which wes not afterwards gives him, ex cept in one case. He hail plenty of promises new, and lie did not doubt of gettiug the votes. The Borough . would be greatly obliged to him what ever should be the result. He had helped to keep open against the attempts of a coalition • Borough which, for the last 20 years, had always been con tested. After many more remarks the Baronet returned thanks, and retired with considerable applause. _ _ Sir It. WILSON then stepped forward again. He •aid two charges had been made against him, which he pledged himself to disprove the folio' , iog day, or quit the hustings. One was, that he was pledg ed to vole fur Catholic Emancipation—the other, that he declared he would invariably oppose the An sinters. As to the first, he never should think of voting on it. without first consulting his consti tuents. As to the second, he had always told them that be would never join any party, because he wished to serve them as an independent. honest ( Great applause.) Mr. tAt.Trear then came forward. He ions. gined that the Knight was mirtakeis : it was him self whom Mr. Allan Shuter (the accusing party) hod charged with declaring invariable humility to Ministers. The ;Meeting then dispersed.
