Puenced by popular clamour, said the proposed Amendment ,should have his support. Mr. Alderman "AITHMAN said, he could not help expressing his indil;t.ation at hearing that his Royal Highness the Duke of York was willing to take money from the pockets of an impo verished people, instead of the Privy Purse. The SOLICTToR-GENVSIAL hoped to satisfy the House that the grant was reasonable, ard otight to be paid out of the public money The ques tint, was, uhether, by touching the Privy Purse. they should not interfere with property which was sectirrd to the Sovereign by recognised legis lative enactments. This, he was persuaded, mnst he the rase should the sutri proposed be taken from the Privy Purse; as this, together with the Dnehy of Latteas , er, were to all intents and nor p•tsvii private property, and did not in any respect appertak to the public. Mr. Burke's celebrated speech on Economical Reform maintained, that the Royal Family and the Privy Purse oncht to he provid, d for out of the Civil List. In 1786, the 60 OM a year, or Pt ivy Purse. waskuuder stood to he at the free at , tl oncontrolled disposal of his MapAtv; and therefore he applied a part of it to the purchase of lands and to oilier pur poses. Such heing the fact, the Right How, Geo tlematt, before lie could do away the right of pri vate appropriation, must get the legislative enact ments rept sled which sanctioned it ; nor did that riAtt apply only to past savings, but also to any ftsiore accumolations.

EIGHTH DAY. Yesterday the business of the Election was re sumed with great spirit. From an early hour bands of music were heard in different quarters of Westminster-0e ca'ivassing for igt. Hot }louse was carved on with great activity in the parishes of St. Martin and St. George, and Elec tors were brou,Art up, preceded by bands of music playiog `.` See the conquering Hero comes !".and With, the banners used last year in the procession of ch , iring Sir FRANCIs BURDRTT. A crowd con tinued assembled as usual in front of the h l wi ng s. There were a few additiooal contemptible placards held up by the friends of Me. 1-1013n0USE. Sir F. BCRDETT and Mr. ElonnousE were actively en raged during the Avimie of the morning in visit ing their severs Committee-rooms, and urging their friends to renewed exertions. In conse queLce of the attack made by Sir F. BURDETT upon Alderman Woon, on Saturday, for canvass ing for Mr. Lamb, and the denill of the worthy Alderman that he had taken any part whatever in the present contest, the person who gave the in tormaion to Sit- FaANcts BURDETT was prodoCed to Aiderman Woof) in the morning, at sir. Hors tionses Committee Room, in King-street, Co vent-garden, when qe person declared that there Was the strongest likeness between the Gentle-' man he saw canvassing and the worthy Alderman, and that hence the mistake arose. Mr. HOBH OUSE caste forward amidst the cheers hiS friends. He congratulated them on the considerable victory they had that day gained over their opponents. The cause had obtained a ma jority river their adversaries of 305 on the day's poll . .—(Biavo.)—lf they effected as much to morrow, the majority of the Whig Candidate %Toold he destroyed. He understood that would ,bc. the case, as the delusion; which with such suc cess their encircles had been able to cast over the , eyes of she Electors of Westminster, was fast dis pelling._ lie (Mr. llobhouse) was no longer con sidered as a Tory Candidate ; and he then took the first opportunity of correcting a statement made by him on a former occasion, then he said that a distinguished . Nobleman, canvassing for Lamb, had characterised him as ra:fory Ca n -016ate. That he now found was not true as to that Noblemin—(" Random charges are the weapons of you and Burdett—first abuse and then apolo gies," from the friends of Mr. Lamb)—but it was the expedient made use of by many others, in the interest of his opponent, who left nothing unsaid to prejudice character. The Hon. Candidate then proceeded to a repetition of ail his charges against the IViiigs , mid concluded with asserting ow the great question of Parliamentary Reform depended on the i,sue of that Election. Mr. LAMB, amidst the applauses of his friends, mid the groans of the yellers, said, the exertions of my opponents have produced a large advan tage on to-day's poll, and I am glad of it ; be caite nothing else could remove the entire confi dence of my friends, who deemed our victory too secure. I am still confident of success. 'I hey have accused us of tricks, but two of their asser t iotts have already been proved false, one respect ing Alderman Wood, and one respecting a Noble man canvassing for me. Of the 114nd-bill pro. duced I know nothing; and thoneh their tricks may he pas endless as they represent ours, their poll will soon fail short. _ Mr. flut4-r then came to the front of the Host- Ogs amitht a general uproar. He confessed he was not surprised at the opposition which was made to his being heard, when he considered the attempts which had been had remorse to by the other side—(Tumult.)— Flit Mee!ing could not help seeing that the hired gang was this day better orgaiiized than they were on a former oc casion —(The uproar here increasing, Mr. Hunt held up a placard in his 'tend, " No foul play.") —This was the only way by which they could do justice, for unless they heard all, how could they lod g e who tV correct.--(Here some person ex hibited a hahet, on which Mr. Hunt, turning to the Baronet, said, " Give him his due.")—Were they afraid to hear him from the noise they •tvete now tirikme ? Did the threats of my Lord Cavlereagh or Ministers terrify them ? he hal ter, h e co,ild assure diem, eras ton great a bribe for a poor SI,rsi:111; wretch. Would they con sent to hear the Ba ronet ? Were I," said Mr. Htint, ". able; like hint, to pay day, You would, have nn dooht, hear me also. You heard hint on Satnrday, a d you heard the direful ;iccosatiott he Made against Mr. Alderman IVood. From that charge mite B ironer is,now willing, you to steak out. As a pOlitical Quixotte he has gone curry where about tinder pretence of seretng yon. But has be tint gr ossly dective4 you ?. Will lie be in the House to-night at his chity ? "r , e proof of this will be seen to-morrow. I -ee von won't he r me to-day, 'but I have no doubt you will come here in a rely different tem per 16- morow."--'-(Applause and hisses.) Sir F. BuaDETT: said, the result of this day's poll had proved ,that he was not. wrong- whet' he lust addressed them, when he declared his confi dence in the patriotism, independence, and exer tions of the Electors of Westminster. It proved, that notwithstanding all that had beets said,by the venal oewspaper press, that they were•still true, to , theemivse fd . liberty. He . denied that fie had said, fl 9 WAS imputed to hint, that, the whole press of the country was venal. He then proceeded to make a furious artaik on several Newspapers, and (tido ,gized one J ournal, . which appears to be a great favourite of his. It was a great, graiifi, cation to him to have to say, that Mr. Alder man Wood had, not been guilty of that dere liction from the principh which he had professed, by canvassing for Mr., Lamb, which had been imputed to him. fie however believed that some body had been epg.iged to personate Alderman Vilood, as a person had been seen among Mr. Lamb's canvassers by several Electors; who was , called by his name. All artifices had then re. sorted to by the opponents orMr. Hohhouse that. could degrade them and their cause, but all gild : failed. It appeared that time foul sluices ofcor ruption were . nearly exhat . isted-1 hat the waters Of pollution werei)egititting to stagnsite, while the fountains of liberty were,only beginning to play, and be had no doubt but the healthful stream, ponred in by the Electors of Westminster, would like a torrent carry before it every obstacle to suc cess in the present contest. It was said by the venal press that his money had induced a mob to repair to the Hustings to oppose Mr. Lamb. • He denied the charge, and (UAW ained that the Eke tors of Westminster ryere not tp be moved by any such means. He strongly condemued,the conduct o f thos e who voted against the dictates of their consciences, but held those who dragged them to the Dustings to do so to he more culpable, and liable,,if the facts could he proved, t o b e p ro _ scented for snhornat ion of perjury. He !oared with. feelings of compassion on the kVhig-Court•Coali tion Candidate—tor no sit iation could by more unhappy than , 0 stand as he did in amity with the person who bad Jost r andressed them. Rather than be seen in that situation, he would prefer a thousand times' standing in the Pillory in that place.—(A laugb.)—Those who had brought the Electors there to vote against their consciences would have no more that! the punishment dire to their crime, if tt:ey were exalted in the Pillory. He congratulated them on the spirit which they had manifested in the cause of Reform, and agreed with Mr. 1-lubbouse, that the power of the Crown was not to be dreaded, if that of the Borough. mongers could be reduced. Nothing but a Reform in Parliament could essentially serve the people, and this cause the Electors of West minster would materially advance, - by returning llobliouse.—(Here he was interrupted by shouts of exultation, and a loud cry of " Hunt is gone !")—He called on them in conclusion to de vote every moment of their 'time, as he would, till the object was accomplished to secure the re turn of Mr. floblionse. The business of the day here closed. Mr. Hunt, who had previously retired, was followed to the Russell Coffee-house, roughly. treated on the way, and blockaded when he arrived there. Some of e windows of the Coffee-house were broken-by s pursuers. The Gamekeeper of the Eatl of ILCHESTER, at Redline's, in Somersetshire, was killed, a few days ago, its consetvenee of his having accidentally trod' upon the wire of a spring-gnn he was setting in the groom's . , which went off, and lodged its contents in his body.

LONDON, TUESD.IY, FEBRUARY 23, 1819. _There has been no arrival of Paris Papers this morning. Two days' Journals are due. We have signified that in giving our support to Mr. LAMS, we do not consider ourselves as sup. potting the cause of an individual, but as resisting a Faction who Wish to overturn the State. We differ - from Mr. LAMB in political prioeiples, or, rather, sentiments, for we believe that he is hear tily attached to the British Constitu►ion, though he is adverse to that Ministry whO have saved the Country from destruction, and delivered Europe from oppression. But the BUR DETTI TES are revolutionary miscreants, who would rise upon the ruins of their Country. Therefore, inde pendently of time other reasons which ren der Mr. frozuouss a person totally unfit to sit in the Britiali Senate, the very support given to him by the BURDETTUTEs is sufficient to brand his,character with indelible odium, and con serpeotly for the honour of the British name, we ardently hope that the Electors of Westminster will spurn his pretensions with indignation and horror. The recent Meeting of Revolutionists At Stock- port fully manifested the feelings of those who gnousa iVestininster. They support Mr. 11 0 are all of the same traitorous Faction. Their turbulent propensity was so great ,that it, was twice necessary to read the Riot• Act before they: would disperse, and with a cowardice equalto their wickedness, they not only assailed, the Sot. Biers and the loyal Inhabitants with stones, but actually attacked in the same manner a•barmless . boy, because he was the son of an honest friend to Government.—BßlTONS reflect—such. are the BURDETTITE.S.--the modern Reformers.

This Resolution was proposed by Mr. GI FFARD, a firm aud able friend to the Protestant Establish ment, two of whose sons fell Martyrs to the fury of Irish Rebels. THE THEATRE.—ThE novelty of last night . at Drury-Lane Theatre.was a Melo , Drarna, entitled The Heroine. It is founded on a very interesting tale, written by the celebrated Madame GENUS, entitled The Siege of Rochelle. The fable rests chiefly upon the villainous artifices . ot a Baron to destroy a child, in hopes of succeeding to the in heritance. A Lady, the supposed daughter of this vile Baron, is accused of the murder, but finally, by the assistance of a benevolent Friar, her inno• cence is demonstrated, and the Jett! murderer brought to shame and consequent punishment The piece on the whole is interesting, hitt much of the dialogue ought to be curtailed. We have no room for particulars. The Actors, particularly RAE, H. KEMBLE, POWELL, BENGOUGH, Ox- BERRY, Mrs. OHGER, and Mrs. WEST, exerted themselves with Teal and effect. The piece wa. brought forward with, general correctness, and altogether in a manner very creditable to the management, and was very well received. Jr i , ascribed to Mr. R.
