THIS day the Pull was rather languid, probably' owing to the great numbers that have already voted. At four o'clock the books, as usual, were closed.— The SHEIVII/F3, after casting up the Votes, came forward and announced the general State of the Poll, Which was as follows 'Mr. MAINWARING, Sir FiLANCI.3 BURDETT, 20 94 . 203 s Majority for Mr. MAINWARINIS - .64 After the numbers had been announced in this manner, Sir FRANCIS BURDETT came forward, and spoke as follows : CtICTLEMEN, You will see with considerably sati4aftion that, notwithstanding the advantages. which our Adver. saries possess over us in point of influence, the Poll of this day is equal onsboth sides, and that my Ma. jority yesterday is undiminished. I may then speak to you in the language of confidence, and I have further to say, that were it not that many arid vari. ous objettions have been made to my Voters, I really believe, I would have been at the head of the Poll. Gentlemen, Ido not say this loosely, for I have between 30 and 40 Voters now awaiting the Sheriff's decision. Inconvenience has been felt, no doubt, from this circumstance, but I hope that this. will not damp the spirit of the Freeholders, and that they will not attach much importance to these inconveniences, but will bear in mind the import. ante cf the cause in which we are engaged, and that their p e r s everance at this time must either render the Ciunty free and independent, or deliver it completely into the hands of Contratt , qs anti Loan jobbers. I hope they will consider the im. portance of the struggle in which we are at present t:ngaged, and wilt attend me early .to.mortow at this place, when, I hope, their affairs will be de. c . ided without further trouble or inconvenie n c e to themselves. I cannot conclude without making a tew observations on the Advertisement which my Opponent 11,.s this morning published. He has, with a modesty chardteristic of youth, asserted that I came forward with rag-a-muffins, perjured men, and false votes ; but i hope you will only be spur.. red on by this the note speedily to secure the In. dependence of the County, and your oun vic tory: Gentlemen, in offering myself for this County, no man would disdain any support of this sort more than the man who stands before you; but I think I may retort the charge on my Anta. gonist, for it is notorious that undue influence has been exerted against us on this occasion. It has been the language of my opponent, that his father .carried his faculties meekly about him ; but those who wit. nested the last EleClion will confess that this is cer. tainly not the peculiar failing of that Gentleman. Only one thing was then touched upon. There was nothing but perjury, crime, and guilt on our side; and on their side simplicity, gentleness, and cx. treme purity. Their Police Officers, Thief.rakers, &C. in the simplicity of their hearts, were not able to contend with our nefarious friends I Some Peo. Isle, Gentlemen, appear to mkt literally the maxim of a certain Satirist, He that has but impudence To all things else has just pretence. But after all the influence that has been, used, I hope that your spirit will mount higher than all, and that you will (Ware the blessings of our ancient Constitution. Gentlemen, it is really my opinion, that if I fail, this will be the last struggle for Free. dam in this County, and that if the Freeholders hang back, their votes a ill be valueless, and never after. wards solicited on public grounds. 1 return you my thanks for your exertions. I know the difficulties, where all the advantages are on one side ; but I hope that'hy similar majorities as the slay betore, you will at length secure the defeat of our Adversaries. Mr. IVlArtstwita 'NG then came forward, but, as usual, cAild not be heard on account of the noise of the crowd. Nothing exceedingly remarkable oc. eut red during the day. Som.: voters came forward who were, upon examination, found to have no freehold's, aid wer*ot c..iurse rejetted with disgrace. Some disturhat , ce took place on the Hustings, in eon. siquenee of a dispute between one of the Sheriff's Officers and a Mr. Montle, but it was over in a few minutes. The populace were very noisy, as usual ; but upon the whole, this day went ofF with wonder- NI quietness, under the excellent regulation and impartial cunduet of the Sheriffs, IMPROMPTU.

I' FRANCIS Butt nerr, in one of his late SperChes, quoting from SHAxs, lt, spike of some lies that were gross anti palpable as the Father' who begat them. Sir FRANCIS, we presume, does not know that his friend HORNE Tooke was, upwards of thirty years ago, called " The FHthet of lies," by those who had long been in intimacy with him. Sir FRANC Is should really be contented to abuse his Opponents. Major CA R TW,R I CH T'S Toast, in (venomous corn/X -ialit to the Volunteers, has, we understand, excited general disgust. It is painful to see a nun, ready to drop into the grave, incorrigibly attached to those doitrines which have spread so much misery over Europe. It is still mire painful to see a respetlable Magistrate, like Alderman SRI N N s a s at a still more advanced period of life, entrapped into a connexion with such characters as support the desperate cause of the Middlesex Candidate. BONAPARTE, says report, refused to admit Sir FRANC is 131./R VETT to his Court, and hence the friends of the Baronet observe, " that this is not wonderful—Tyrants have a natural antipathy to independent men." But how comes it that Sir FRANCIS should wish to be introduced to a Tyrant How comes it also, that Mr. Fox should be desirous of being introduced to a Tyrant ; and that the Tyrant should receive him f Are we to infer that Mr. Fox is nut an independent man? • T H ER E are not many fresharrivals of Wheat to. day ; the middling and ordinary samples sell rather cheaper ; some few Dantaic cargoes dt hand, and the fit`e'samples , are hightr than we quite ; in Barley, N:lart, and White Pease but little variation ; Grey Yeas,.-cheaper, best 4os. per quarter ; Rape - Seed at 'less ; Oats are cheaper, and few of fine quality here . ; American Vlour 32'. to 35,.. per barrel.

In the circle of haul ton, .Plutus has preVailed over Flora ; but every where else this Goddess leaves her ungallant rival behind her; and, tor' one head with diamonds alone, ten are seen with flowers, and fifteen where . the diamonds are almost concealed by the - flowers, or are so few that they recto ashamed to thew them. selves, Some milliners in the Palais Royal, and in the• Rue St. Honore. plait the front of their hats with large plaits. These large plaits are inflict'. laxly remarked with the undresses (nigfigh), don: with full dresses.

The gauze capots are no longer seen. Large Brussels laces, called demi-veils, and which almost hide the face, are very numerous in the Thuilleries, in the Elysian Fields, and on the Boulevards ; but in the Luxembouigh, anti in the Fanxbunrg St. Germain, they are entsrely proscribed as houtleitses, Here the belles wear long veils, which lose themselves unties the shawls, and form a capuchin, Long shawls, called Imperial shawls, are always fashionable.

THR THEATRE.—MiSII LEE'S Comedy of The Chapter of IleridrAllit Wds last% night pc rtnrmed a► the 1-1.9 , inAtket Theatre, and the charaders alto. gether were tolerably well supported. BANN I,TER in Jacob, and Mrs. Gt uas in Bridget, chiefly dot. tinguished themselves in the coi n ►c paths of this agreeable Drama, Miss WoODFALL and Miss GR !MANI were both interesting in Miss Mortimer and Cecilia. MATHEWS did not mike the Go. 'vernor so prominent as we expeeled: lie wanted ' vat, and he wanted also the restless impetuosity which the fair Author had in view. An instance of Party-spirit occurred which was disgraceful to a pan of the audience. S;Ane Mee r•ibbaadr happened to decorate a toilet, and excited great disturbance in the Galleries. Ett.isTorr came forward, and .with promptitude and manly fervour, assured the audience, that the ribbands were to be included in The Chatter of Accidents, trusting that nol►o►ly could suppose Politics would be suffered to niark any Performance on that Stage. This pertinent Speech, however, did not satisfy the perturbed spirits who bad excited the commotion, amid ELL Is. Tort therefore immediately removed .the offensive ribbands from their sight. Mrs. Grans, who had been driven off the Stage by the clamour which prevailed, Was then permitted to return, and the Comedy went on without farther molestation. It ia wonderful that the same CiAintni zealots were not likewise offended at the calm,- of the acne: which formed the Dressing room that contained the unfortunate toilet, as that also was light blur. 011 Monday died, at Bath, Mrs. KNIGHT, wife of Mr. Ktefoice, late of Cavent.Gardet► Mrs. K. wat tittar to the Countess of Dakar.

CROWN SIDE. SERJEANT IttlNNlNOtrtt. Mary Gear, a girl of Sevetnee.:, was inclined for the 'wilful murder of her female basiatd by throwing it down the priVy and suffocating it. Srah.Stainforti a.iid, site kept the Anchor public; house, at Ringmoor, in • this 'County, anti that the Prisoner lived servant with her in March last. On the Bth day of that m=ll, as she was passing the bed..rtiorn door where the Prisorx . r slept, she heard her moaning as though in great pain. She - Went in to inquire what was the warren; the girl said she was very ill, and that she had hurt hetielf 14 hitin a large keeler boiler). The Witness got her stitne warm gin and water, and bbC felt herself better. Soon alit:maids, about eight in the even ing, the Witness went up into :he room again, an.l was surprised r t finding the Prisoner nut there:— She immediately went into the garden, And rota with her coming from thence. Su.putting what had happened, she asked her Where was the child The girl immediately replied, it was th)wn the privy. Mary Stamford, the daughter.in.law of the last Witness, confirmed the above staterne,t. Chatles.Stamford stated, that he was in the 0„, den on the 811 of .March, in the evening, and he heard snmething, as it were digging, at the back of the privy ; afterwards hearing what had hap. pened, he searched the place, and found a new-born mate James Moor, a Surgeon at Lewes, stated that he was called in I.) examine the child—he found it Without any syMptoms of puttefanion; there was a small laceration of the scalp behind the left ear, above that a small hole, through which apart of the hair had oozed out ; but there was no extravasatiun of blood, or any thing which could lead him to sup.. pose that any Nioletize had been used to terminate the life of the child. The lungs were florid and healthy, and seemed to have imbibed atmoapheric air ; but, he said, that was no decisive proof that the child was born alive. The Learned S , ,ojeant who tried the cause told the jury, thatihey first ought to be satisfied that the child was born alive, before they pronounced the Prisoner guilty of murder. He then recapit'ulated the evidence upon this point, and observed, that there was not a single tittle which Went to demon. strate that the child was live born. IF they were of this opinion, their next duty would be to say, whe. ther she had concealed the birth, WHO woo d sub. jeEt her to another kind of punishment. And he confessed, from the nnoner in which she answered to the interrogatory of her mistress, where the child was ? declaring, that it was down the privy, that he thought there was hardly sufficient evidence to find her guilty of this part of the ca,e.

In case, which oils of a. very aggravarea nature, the, evidence was chiefly Circumstantial.

The t'ri. sorter, from this time, conceived a design ot tr ve.•ge against'the Prosecutor, anti, it 1v .I`4 proveti, frequent. fy ingril a man of the name of Water to break into his house, and not only to rob him, but .41,0 to beat him severely. 01 the night of the z.l of the Prosecutor and his wife both in bed, weie awakened by several heavy blows; not,a Histanding. t h e i r - cr i es they were continued ; the ite had her arm broke, her' hands and sides dteadfullv bruised and in their retreat, the villains car - tied Of a watch and other articles.

When the alarm was given at the B•stracks, which was done immediately, the Pri soner was found in bed as though not having hen out that night ; hut the &demi searching about the bed, found his breeches concealed und.:r the bed, the seat of them being very much dirtied an d wa d& • rd, and looking unand, they discovered that a man had evidently got out of a window, and had down a window frame, which wouhi have t!,e eficzt of dirtying the cloaths just as his were.
