seriously increased by his attempting to indite a
letter to the Electors of West. aaaaa ster ; but such
was that Gentleman's brume of duty, that nothing
could or should, until the last day of his exist-
ence, prevent boa from conscientiously discharging
his duty as a party twitting himself up as a Candi-
date fur their favour. Nothing that depended ors

bog to enter into the field of political discussion ;
tint lie could not help observing, that the measures
hell out as expedient by the Reformists did not
form any part of the ('onstitution of this country.
The principles of the Constitution haul led
to pie-eminence on the part of this country—to vie-
torn after victory—aud to the defeat of military and

be remembered, had been the result of the labours

der every circumsiance. The Itulh, he congratulated
Ohs m, was crowding iii strength, and its result. lie
hail no &Ott, would be favourable to the cause of
the gallant Captain.--ITlre latter part of this speech
was attended with groans, hisses, and every species
of turbulent indignity.
Here the remains of the car of Sir M. Maxwell
were at once brought into the thickest part of the
crowd, sod occasioned u considerable degree of irri-
tation and tumult. The carriage was by violent
exertion at length completely torn to pieces, and
tranquillity being partially restored,
Mr. IticnaaosoN, sem rose and apologised for
trespasaing on their patience when so many other
better speakers were about to address them. He
wished to address them solely with a view to huma-
nity. As to the outrage committed upon Sir Mar-
ivy Maxwell, he considered all those assaults and
itsdicatioris of violent popular displeasure, as so
twiny votes lost to the advocates of Reform. He
recommended an abstinence from all personal vio-
lence, sod particularly alluded to an attack made
upon a carriage that day at Charing-crosa, which
had been canvassing at the west end of the town.
The carriage was pelted and covered with dirt.
Such conduct could only proceed from their ene-
mies. Ou the opposite side, he had to regret the
seirpPoorsucr of a cavalcade about the west end of
the town, consisting of some men on horseback and
loot, and a large boat, on wheels, accompanied by
30 or 40 persons, in sailors' clothes, and armed
with slicks, in a regular procession. He did not
believe they were sailors, and, in fact, be had
been informed that the greater pert of theta
were Irish chairmen. Ile considered it a sub-
ject of regret, and almost pity, that • naval
officer should have recourse to such support. The
conduct was unworthy of.hirn; and he should at all
event- recollect, that he had never appeared to be
invested with either the popularity or the pretest-
icons of a Hood, a Gardner, or a Cochrane.—
(Load shoals of applause.)
Mr. STURCH admitted hie had heard nothing ut-
tered by the advocate of Sir Murray Maxwell;

that " lie had himself goose rather to serve his for-

had done in Westminster for the sake of Reform,

people'. friend the first on the poll. The friends of
Sir S. Hominy could not justly be' angry with them.
He believed they had trot solicited them, but
they had divided nearly e,OOO votes with the
Court Candidate. Besides, supposing that, by
some misfortune, the Court Candidate should
mount highest, Sir Francis Burdett would then
have to contend against Sir Samuel Itomilly.
The friends of the latter gentleman had disgraced
his cause by giving public breakfast.; they
were conducted by three very respectable grits
tlemen, but if they reflected, they would perceive
it was discreditable in the extreme. Sir Francis
Burdett's Committee had not money to spare. and
if they had, they would turn it to other purpose..
He had lost a number of votes because the 'moor fel-
lows who had them were of honest hearts, but poor
pockets. He had lately seen one man who hail come
somedistance to vote, but was prevented, because he
bad not paid his poor rates--(" Awne,name

Mr. HUNT theta advanced, in the midst of hoot-

riou• other sounds of dislike and contempt. Ile
held in his hand Mr. Cleary'► letter, to which he
endeavoured to tom the attention of the populace,
but, with the exception of souse eight or ten inuare-
diately about him, they seemed irreconcilably hos-
tile. Ile took oll' his hat, and stooped, and
and bad recourse to his old practice of pointing out
Gentlemen to the expected anger of the crowd, but
in vain.

Mr. ELLIOTT came forward and requested that
they would hear and then judge," but his appeal
was fruitless.

The populace continued refractory. and shortly
after an amazon from the top of one of the stands,
with violent exeitunis or lung. and antis, fur a short
time appeared resolute in contesting with him the
palm of popular favour.
At length, after hearing applied to himself, in
every quarter, many of the epithets most grating
and otlensive, Mr. limit retired.

During the time that he was endeavouring to
procure a hearing, a detachment of the party who
had made spoil of the boat, appeared conveying a
man in triumph on • large plank of it, and bearing
numerous smaller Inigruesits as trophies. They
were cordially welcomed and loudly cheered by the
crowd.

Dr. Watson had appeared en the hustings close
to Mr. Hunt some time before he advanced to
speak. The latter endeavoured to snake hia (Dr.
%Vinson's) supposed influence with the populace
subservient to his attempt to induce them to listen,
ineffectually.

Mr. G. Jones then made the experiment of his
influence tar the people ; but the torrent of popular
dislike seemed to have set in against him nearly as
strung as against his patron. After eager mid re-
peated struggles at uu audience for about half au
hour, he also retired.
Immediately after, a white flaw, stained with
blood, was carried up and down before the bust-
lags. One or two miscreants, who had shewn their

The besiegers having seized pieces of the demo-

drove back the peace-officers with consilerable

very serious, a messenger was di.patelled to Mr.
Stafford, the chief clerk of Bow-street, who, with
raise-worthy promptitude, hastened to the spori-

with the most abusive language, but eceasioniitLik
with a volley of dirt. The horse of one of them
fell under him, while lie was Making the animal
