SATURDAY, Juxt 40. isle.

The result of the poifiag yedorday in the Citi.l
of I.ondon and Westminster, sad in the Borough
of Southwark, is, generally spooking, such as must
gratify every lover et hie iudeprudruce.
Of the proceedings is each phice.sinple reports will
be tumid its our Paw this day. In the City it
will be sees that Mr. Alderman WOOD, Memrs•
WILIJOR Sad WAITHMAII, and Sir WM. CURTIS,
are in th:s order the four first on the poll ; that iu
AVestminater, Sir SAMUEL ROMILLT and Sir MUM.
RAT MAXWELL. are hitherto the favourites; and
that in the Borough, Mr. CALVERT and Sir Ito-
nate WiLsosr are eminently successful. Thus it
appears, that of eight persons to be elect d for Par.
lament, no less than six of those most likely to be
returned may he classed among the firm advocates
of independence. The country party wool.l, even
tilos. iss the Ilepresesitatives of the metropolis, gain
two Members in the 'louse of Commons, but in
the City. Mr. Alderman Tuose !presses close on
the heels of Sir WM. CURTIS ; and it will be seen
by referring to the relative progress of the Candi-
dates, as marked st one, two, and three o'clock,
that he pushed forward with accelerated speed dur-
ing the last hour; and in Westminster, if Sir
Plasmas Bintimer be removed to give place to •
Collet Candidate, and a stranger, we shall blush for
the character of the Electors.
The Mv.isterial Papers, in performance of the
duty iinpo-cd en them by their masters, endeavour
of course to rase the pretensions of Sir Mutt-
/SAY MAINEI.I., and to inspire his friends with
vel,fitirece. It is, however, to be lamented, that
they are unable to fulfil this meanest office in the
drudgery of au Election, without stooping to in-
soh 1111 teals. Tie Courier Evening Paper, says,
tit .t t'ae cl. oacter of the two parties may be duly
inferred from their conduct ; and then, with its
usual di...et:aril of truth, add.. that •ti the friends

of the poeular Caudidates are Does it know that
