To the GENTLEMEN, CLERGY, and FREEHOLDERS of the COUNTY of MIDDLESEX. GEATLEM THE ciinti(lence which 1 expressed on Tuesday from the Hustings, that a continuance of your exer tions in icy behalf would be crowned with success,ls strength ened by my increased and increasing majorities on the daily and afloat an earnest of your kiture exertions. A too prevalent opinion of security on the part of my Friends induced many of then, to abstain from voting during the three first days of the Election; hut the advantage I hare pro7re3- _slyely obtained, and the great number of promises which - Yet remain unpolled, fully justify me in r relying on the ultimate triumph of our cause, which is the cause of our counlry. I repeat that I yiehlto no man in' firm attachment to Civil and Religious Liberty, blended as it inimutAly is with our admirable Constitution ; and I declare myself, in the. truest 'ens e of the words, the Friend of the People ; for the cause of the People can never be separated from the cause of their Xing and Country. • Acting on these principles in the consciontions discharge of itay public duty, I have to the utmost of my power resisted the pt ogress of sedition and blasphemy; I have supported 'hose nreaimres• which subsequent events prove to have been indis pensably necessary for the preservation of the Constitution; and in the anxious promotion of all real and practical im provement in our Laws and Institutions, I have uniformly opposed all vague, visionary, and dangerous projects bf Itc-• form- • / it Itas been my constant endeavour, during the last 14 years that I have been your Representative, faithfully, zeThus' 411 d diligently to promote your local interests, by devotin.,:• toy Persoual attention to the arduous and important ditties of this Metropolitan County.. As a coalition eviden.ly appears to have been formed to deprive me of your suffrages, and, jn *Fret, to transfer the independence of the County i.,tu the Into& of toy Opponents. feel it imperative, in the pro tection of a cause in which your interests and those of the ConWl:y. ore so deeply engaged, earnestly to solicit •your hat- Ittediate attendance at the Poll.

He has refrained from making any alteration, in their form, because he wishes the Public to decide, whether those who accused him of having published unfair and gar bled statements were justided in doing so. The London Ga zette, wherein the Scheme is set forth by Government, must he the test by which the Public can decide. It may he seen at 111M-FS Offices for that purpose; and those only who with hold important parts of it, can be accused of publishing un fair or garbled statements. He never has done so, and never will; and begs it to be understood, that however specious the Advertisements of other Office Keepers may be, the Scheme does not contain • any advantages that the Customers of his Offices will not equally participate in. The Lottery begins the 1 - Ith of Next Month (April), Oil which Day, the 2,000 Prizes of 301. will be all decided, and not any othet Prize, nor wilt any Blanks be drawn that day; but every unc of those 2,000 Tickets will again have a.

Mr. WHITBREAD was next received with great applause, and thaiiked the Meeting for their support. Mr. MELLISH last came forward amidst the great disan probation of the mob.

At three o'clock on Saturday the Poll finally closed ; the numneri were:— Sir Francis Burdett 5327 Mr. Hobhuuse 4882 Mr. Lain h The Hunt BAILIFF soon after appealed on the hustings, and declared the election to have terminated in favour of Sir Francis Burdett and John Cam Hobhouse, Esq. Sir F. BUKDETT then stepped forward, and. was received with the most enthusiastic applause. It might he expected he should say something of himself, and his trial at Leices ter; hut on that. topic he ,should say little. •He believed there was still so much left to be decided by other tribunals, that he should not ultimately suffer frOm the verdict obtained against him but let the result be what it might, "he should never regret having stood forward on the part of his fellow subjects, whom he cAusutered as oppresed. Those who went -to the wars must expect scars; but scars were not dishonour able, and, whateveL should h, come of the verdict entertained at his trial, he should always consider the verdict of kis coun trymen given in It's favour to-day, as the most honourable which could !rite been awarded him.—(Applause.) Mr. Mattoon was received with loud applause, and thanked the Electors for the high distinction they bad con. .ferred upon him. The two successful Candidates then retired from the Hust ings, amidst the cheers of the populace, which soon after dis persed. • Mr. LAMB .did not appear on the Hustings , --the place from whence he had usually addressed the Electors was occupied by Mr. Boyce Cumbe, the Chairman of his Committee.

EIGHTH DAY. YORK,' FRIDAY NIGHT: As soon as Mr. Justice Bayley bad come into Court this morning, and the defendants had taken the place they occupied for some days past, the examination of witnesses was resumed. Robert Wright, examined by Mr. Hunt—l live at Hulling Wood, about five miles from Man chester, and am a hat-Manufacturer. I was at Manchester on the 16th of Angast,last. I stood on the main road, and could see all the parties going by. They were, perfectly peaceable. I ,did not see all the divisions ; those that .1 saw were the Oldham, Lees, and Saddleworih. In their, march they seemed to preserve a sort of order. There were women and children amongst them in considerable numbers. Ido not reoollect g any sticks or bludgeon s ; there might have bee9some,.but I 'did not see them. They used no improper language to any one. I saw the black flag. I rode to Manchester for, the purpose of seeing the meeting ; .1 was not in any of the processions ; I have no connexion with the Reformers. Mr. Duncoff lives in my neigh bourhood ; I have some property abottt there ; I saw nothing that could make me uneasy for the safety of it ; I am a married man, nod have a wife and family ; I did not see the parties arrive in St. l'eter's-field. The meeting was assembled when I got there. It was near one o'clock when I arrived, and 1 remained until about half an hour before yon came ; I was on foot ; I stood near the line of constables. This was somewhere' in ' the line between the hustings and Mr. Buxton's house. • I had an opportunity of. seeing the con duct of the people there ; they appeared perfectly peaceable. I did not see one armed with a long staff shouldered like a musket. By the COURT.--I could see the crowd from where I stood 3 it was an eminence. . If:any of the people had sticks, I must-have seen them, • _ By Mr. thint—l remained until the military came_uponthe ground. By the COURT—You sEfw the cavalry ?—Yes. You saw them advance ?—Yes. Before they advanced, did the crowd cheer them ?—The crowd bad cheered before they came. Then the crowd was cheering when the mill a: y came to Buxton's house ?—Yes. Did the military return that cheer ?—They did ; hey gave three cheers. Did you hear any groaning, hissing, or hooting when they came up ?-1 did not, my Lord. Did you see any thing done by the crowd to resist them iu their approach to the hustings ? Nothing wh'atever. Wh.i distance were you from the hustings ? About 40 yards. Did you hear any thing from the:hustings en couraging resistance when they came r—l did not. Did you see any thing thrown at the military ? I did not. Any sticks )—None. By Mr. Hunt—Up to the moment the mi litary arrived, did you see any thing to alarm you for the safety of the town or of your family? —Nothing whatever. The people cheered the military on their arrival , and they returned it.— I was near the hustings ; Cie first military, p!aced themselves in the front of Buxton's house. - This caused some alarm amongst the crowd at the out skirts, and I morked.nearer to the constables. There was nothing said or done to encourage opposi tion to them.. 1 heard a cry of " Be firm," but 1 understood this to he in order to allay the fears of the people, and restore confidence. When the soldiers again gallopped into the field, there was fresh confusion. Ino not remember that any thing was then done by you to restore confidence. The cheering of the people produced no alarm in me: I saw the military come into Dickinson street. 1 never heard you say, " There are your enemies," pointing to the soldiers, " put them down, and when they are down, keep them down." If such words were spoken 1 should have heard them. As the Yeomanry advanced to the hustings they passed within a yard of me. 1 had my eye upon them all the way from Buxton's to the hust ings. I saw neither stones, brickbats, or sticks hurled at them. Mr. SCARLRTT, in an under tone, made an ob servation upon this evidence. Mr. Hunt—The Learned Counsel is too fond of making these pertinent remarks to the Jury, particularly when 1 cannot reply..to them. Mr. SCARLETT—Pertinent remarks, Sir ? Mr—Hunt—lmpertinent, if you please. Mr. Hunt—Then you saw no stones thrown ? —Not any. Mr. Hunt—Did the people close in upon the cavalry ?—When they pawed me, I did not see that the people closed in upon them ; on the .con trary, they endeavoured to make their escape.— I heard no tears expressed before their arrival. I never heard any one request the people to make room for a constable to go to the hustings in or der to execute a warrant. By the COURT—Did' you hear it notified in a way to he heard at the hustings, for what purpose the military came ?—No ; I remained ill the line of :Special Constables until I lett the field. It was then near one. I d:d not hear any one ex press fears. Cross•examined by Mr. SCARLETT-1 thoUgM the soldiers were going to take somebody on the hustings ; the constables were near them ; I was then about sixty yards from the hustings ; i re treated down farther, when thet cattle into Dick inson-sireet ; my station was towatds street ; when I turned my face towards the host- [PRICE SEVEN P E N C P , I L ' ings, the constables were on the left-band side ; the crowd was very close between the and the hustingg ; where 1 stood first, forty yards from them, the crowd was also Very:!!great,; I got as near as I could to hear; my family liva:s five miles from Manchester; I never attended a meeting be. fore that at which Mr. Hurit presided ; 1 never was one of the committee of the. Blanketteers ; the notice 1 had of the mer , ing was an adver tisement in the Manchester Observer ; I do not take this Paper in', nor do I remember where I sat' it. Mr. Hunt submitted that it could be of very lit. tie consequence where the witness saw,this Paper, if the defendant was not connected with those who showed it to him. Mr. SCARLETT said, his object was : , to connect the place wbere. the witness saw this seditious publication with the defendants. One part of the charge was for conspiring to bring about the meeting by means of such publications, and it was therefore important to the eonnexion,to show the place where the witness, who was not a lto- ' former, was seen in. Mr. Justice BAILSY thought the inquiry could not be pushed so far as to get the names of the owners of the house where the witness saw the papir, unless it was afterwards proved that they were at the meeting, or bad acted in concert with the defendants. Witness resnmed—l cannot say how soon be fore the meeting it was that I. saw the advertise ment; I rather think it was in the Saturdn'y's paper. There were many names to the requisi tion. I went merely as a:spectator, to hear t-l.rit would be said. I expeciekl Mr. Hunt would speak ; I did not expect Mr. Carlile; I don't know him. Do you mean to say you had known nothing of Mr. Carlile'S character ? Mr. Hnot here interposed—Surely it could be nothing to him what character Mr. Carlile wage Mr. Justice BAY4EY-1 SCARLETT--" My Lord, I must insist upon having proper respect paid me." Mr. Justice BAILEY—“ I too will insist, that in future I must not be interrupted. I endeavour to d o justic e to both parties ; but if proper re spect is not paid by every one to the Court, I must have recourse to means of enforcing it, ►►hich I would be unwilling,to do. I think, as Mr. Carfiles name was put to the requisition, this inquiry is not very irrelevant," _ Had you heard or read, that Carlile was under prosecution for blasphemy I—l cannot recollect. You knew that Carlile was oqe of the persons expected there ?—I Will -you swear you heard nothing of Carliie's having been prosecuted ?-1 have sworn it. Did you read the Manchester Obsetver of the preceding week ?-1 can't say ; I did not see theta regulai ly. - Did you see the account of a meeting in Smith field at which Mr. Hunt presided ?-1 did not see t!te paper regularly. If I were to see the raper, I don't know that 1 should recollect it. I was at the meeting hi January at which Mr. Hunt pre ' sided 5 hut I was not at the dinner. I saw the notice for the meeting of the 16th, I was aware that a meeting had been called for the 9th, and I also heard it was pnt off. I know Mr Johnson, one of the defendants ; I have known him about twelve mouths. Ido not recollect that it was from him I heard the meeting had been pi►t off I can't Fay where I first met him. He keeps a shop in Shude Hili. I sordetimes go there, but never read halt an hour in a Newspaper there.-- I may have taken up a Newspaper there, and read I will not swear that I have not read is Newspaper which he shewed - me. If I ever did, it was the Manchester Observer. Ido not re collect that I ever heard him read it there. Will you swear to that ?—I swear I do not re collect it, How often have you been in his shop ?—About a dozen times. How long dirt you stay —Sometimes a minute, and sometimes half an hour, , In that time were you not employed in reading political publications ?—No, I do not recollect. I never spoke to hint of Cobhett's arrival. I tie here I saw it first in the Papers. l have seen the Manchester ObServer in other places besides John son's shop. On your oath, were you not desired by him to attend the meeting of the 16th ?-1 think he asked me if I tivoul►l atten►l. Did he tell you who was to I:,e there ?-1 - le said Mr. Hunt was to he there. And Carlfle ?--No, he never spoke of .him. All h D ow cat CarWe I saw in the Papers. I never heard that he openA a shop for the sale - of the Republican., and Paine's works, but only through that medium. Did you ever read these works ?—Never. Do you not know that the shop was called the Temple of Reason ? I heard it ; I never spoke to Johnson shoat these works ; I never spoke to him of the Resolutions at Smithfield ; I h;ive no know ledge of them ; Johnson told me somethiog of the putting ~ff the mceting of the 9:h ; I (to not recollect tl►at I was to have attendril that meet ing ; 1 never was invited there ; I live at Hol lingwood ; I never saw any drilling, but I heard it was going on ; 1 had heard this a fortnight be fore ; I don't 'recollect when Parliament was pro rogued. rke-exarnineJ by Mr. Hunt—l know Johnson for the lasi tvvelve months. don't know him so iotinuately,os to visit him as a friend; he newer was. et my hose in my lite.
