was ludicrous-it would not go down any *here,
save within the walls of the House of Coininons ;
there, mitred, mystic leriguage we held, and sham
arguments; in that predisposed assembly, modes of
talking were established, which would lint go down
with ally rational men in soy other part of the world.
With respect to 'Reform, hr was hippy to say that
it uever stood to Westmiiister so high a it did on
the present occasion. No mars now would attempt
to stand on that hustings without professing firm-

Looking over the ouinber that polled for him
within the last two days he found the! exceeded
the number that polled the previous days

ed by Imo. From the report of his friends he
knew that a decided iii.jurity of the electors sere in
his favour, awl the teinimary superiority obtained
by Mr. flobliouse owiiig to the excessive exer-
tions of that gentleman's friends, whilst fur reasous
not necessary to explain, his friends had been slack;

pamphlet. With regard to the first assertion, he
would state, that ft friend Of Mr. Hobbouse went
dawn to the House, to state that lie was the author
of the pamphlet. The matter, then, was between
his friend and hireeelf. He (NI/. Lamb) certainly
understood that it was nut his is nil' to bid/tress the
/louse-he thought that his language in the House
would be only throwing pearls before swine. If

Hobliouse was a classic man-lie hail read that in

Representative was through a prison.--(Videdt

Mr. Fluetionse was about to commence his

Mr. 110ISROUSE said he was sorry Mr. Lamb
should be interrupted in his lair, candid, nuttily,
and honourable discourse. He was glad that Mr,
Lamb was allowed to dwell on his favourite topic of
