LON DON,
WEDNESMY. JULY 25.

At the close of the poll yesterday at Ikentford,
the numbers were, f r r FRAPCIS FIURDSTT, 972 ;

for Mr. M*lss %V A SING, gn, leaving a majority (,1

45 in favour of Sir FRANCIS BURDLTT. We have
look,tel with anxiety to the heat and party spirit
which this contest was likely to produce as a serious
evil t and, therefore, hue hitherto cautiou.ly ab-
s. aims] from art ~Issers Atinns that could inflame the
upon either side of the question. An
Eve•ii.'g Print of yesterday, however, with somewhat

legs tilizretiou, indulged itself iu the following obser.

hood, h..ve advertised a dinner of the friends of
Sir FIIIANCIS, and have had the impudence to put
fotth as Stewards, the names of the Hon. C. J.
Foe, M. P. Lord W. RWSELL, M. P. Lord C H.

Now, we must venture to affirm, that not one of
these Gentlemen F ts been consulted on this sub-
jeß, and that most, if not all of them, will be ex-
tremely angry when they discover the freedom
taken with them. Several of the Gentlemen, we
know, detest the Brainy!. faaioa ; but this fac-
tion will care little far their resentment, if it can
steal a little support from among their friends."—
Strangers, who read this quotation, must suppose
tnat the writer is the confidential friend of every
Lord and Gentleman for whom he thus presumes to

answer. How great, then, must be their astonish-
ment to learn, that he is the calumniator of Mr.
Fox, and despised by every Member of the Oppo-
titirin, with whose sentiments be affeas to be thus
intimately acquainted. We do not pretend to say,
eta Sir FRANCIS BURDETT is more sincerely sup-
ported by the Opposition, than Mr. ki tissr Aaiun
is supported by Government. We wish to deal
fairly between them, and also between them and the
public. With this sentiment and feeling, then, it
is impossible for us to pass over in silence a declara-
tion, so false, presumptuous, and imposing. The wri.
ter, who has hazarded it, knows that all the persons
whom he has enumerated, are avowed friends of Sir
F. Beeps rr, and he ought also to have known,
that Lord G. H. CAVENDISII. and others, whom
he has represented as either enemies to Sir FRAN-
CIS BURDETT, or neutrals, have already voted for
him at Brcntford.

The Gazette (which will be found in the last
page) contains as account of the damage sustained

tales

It cmtinnes to be repeated with increasing confi•
dente, that iliS MII3IIITY will prnrogue Parliament
in perbon, and that the event will take place next
Tuesday. Should this hope be realise.l, we shall
probably bear no more of the mysterious hints and
insinuations, conceived in faaious minds, and
thrown out to favour party •isws, by alarming the
COUALT y.

, LAtINCIi OF HISsMA77ESTYI SHIP 11':ELY.

On Monday &beautiful frigate seas launched at 1
Woolwich Duck-yard. The launching of a man of ;
war from any part contiguous to the metropolis. scl-
dons fails to attred a great number of siqtratori ;
but, noon this occasion, the concourse of -pTople ap-
peared to be more numerous than ordinary ; the
River was covered with heats filled with the gayest
company ; the rigging of the ships, with men, and
the neutral and other trading vessels, rendered the
scene highly pleasing, by a display of Swedish,
Danish. Russian, and American Flags. Unfortu-
nately a heavy shower pelted the surrounding ob-
servers. and cast a degree of gloom on the com-
mencement of the reeacle ; but fine vieather soon
succeeded; and curiosity found no impediment.
About two o'clock. the frigate was ready to start.
She lay in the slip, painted with black and yellow
streaks, and appeared rather plain titan rich. Her
head is ornamented by a beautiful female figure,
playing a tambourine finely carved, and placed
upon the cut-water, so as to accord with I:er rate.
The stern is peculiarly neat, and quarter badges,
like those of all the River-built fir ships. Above
her decks were distended in the breeze, the British
Union Jack, and the St. George's !slue and red Eng
lish Ensigns. A great many pers,..-is were on bo trd.
who shouted with the surrounding multitude, when
the gallant vessel rushed to the embraces of the
Silver God, Old Thames, on whose bosom she
rested in safety at some distance From she Dock-
yard. Nu accident occurred, and the populace
dispersed, satisfied with a sight,whieh, for grandeur,
cannot be exck.i.ord. Her Royal I ugliness the Prin-
cess of W .nts honGurcd the launch with her atten-
dance, in a magnificent yacht, and several distin-
guished naval o:ficers were present in their barges
and cutters.

alsc order and regitlarizy which yesterday apposra
ed to prevail, in imusermence of the judicious ar-
a-ankements of the cAn,lickstts, became the admint-
t:on.. of the Electors. Many of .the landierds at
Kreotford, who expect to derive ctutsiderable em..lu-
ment from thit noes.: and tetoes *lents, were
beard to complain, that the present contest was not
like an Fieflion ; there was no mirth, Otinititg, er
boxing. Their observations were partly true ; the
poH commensed exaaly at nirst o'clock, hefore
the arrival of either of tine Candi Taros, and the
voters passed and rerpaceed to the helatin-s ia the
most orderly manner. The pop lace. th,•agh nume-

parently forgot, an stansual sce:w of.erder prevailed.
Atten o'clock, Sir F Burtixt entered Branford. with
the same cavalcade as no the day rr,e,iing. Th,
hand, which followed him from his haii,e, played
through. the town. sod a••clAnsations of Berdeft f,e
I Der. were heard from every quarter, as he passed
to the Hustings. He breakfieted after his arrival,
and returned to observe the Poll. for the first twu
hours, Ow rotors were noticed to be more nnmerons
on the side of Mr. Mainwaring„ than Sir Francis,
who lost during that time; but the exacrt state of
the Poll was not {omen, as it Was adjudeed
better for the convenience of the Freebolderi to
continue voting until five o'clock, thin delay tiro* •
by casting up the Poll Books. At twelve o'clock.
Mr. Mainwaring came to the Hustings in his poet
chariot and Nu.; his postillions and servants were
in the same livery as on Monday : hi sing and
hooting from the populace resounded through the
town; but the clamour was not near so zreat as at
his first arrival. About this time, a man, who art-
ppred to be a waggoner, exclaimed, in front of the
Hustings, Itfaintalring for ever, as ! in con,
sequence of which, another stepped up to him,
and :hexing Sir Francis Burdett's enckaile, de-
manded if he would fi:dst tor Mainwaring ? the
other assented, and the challenger, who was George
Maddox, the boxer. was on the point of setting to,
when the arrival of several constables settled- the
fury of the combatants. The voters continu-d
coming. and the road leading to Brentford was
thronged with carriages.
At the ctose of the poll, at four o'clock, the num-
bers appeared as follow :
