thud very liberally at Iheas—hut they treated the

however, to state. that Sir Murray Maxwell was
struck on the left rye wan s ))))) e hard sohatance.
The bloat etruivialy disroloured the ourrounding
flesh—and, if we may joule from the frequent ap.
nitration of Ins Innallkeremef to his eye, this gallant
officer soll'are I corionierable pain from the wanton
sod monaoly assault with which he had been visit-
ad. The only answer he mode to the indignity was
a low bow—and, at r sulasequeso period, wheu.filth
war thrown towards him and lii• friends, he stepped
forward, on the outward railing of the hustings, ex-
claiming " that he was not afraid to throw himself
• in the midst of his countrymen!" In the course of
the day, he was repeatedly accused of bring favour-
able to the system of flogging. Oar of the seamen,
however, who served under him, was recogiriped in
the crowd by Sir Murray, who immer3itately called
on him to come forward. Sir Murray Maxwell
said, .1 There is one of my seamen—ask him what
my conduct has been." The tar advanced—and,
clamhering up the railing, cheered his old Com-
mander with great cordiality. A Novel Officer,
who bore the brunt of the day with Sir Murray,
.desired him to state to the people whether that
Gentleman had ever behaved with undoe ity
to a seaman—or withheld his pity ? To which the
tar replied—" I sailed with I long, and a better
or a kiiider officer never commooded a ship."

stir. PITT. and Mr. RICElhabSOl4, jun. on
.the
part of Sir F.ancis Burdett, called on the Electors
na m Ike the most vigorous exertions, in order again
to send into Parliament Sir Francis Burdett, whose
conduct, during a lot% period, Was marked by the
moat armour desire, seconded by talents of the
first order, ta place the rights of the people on their
proirer fartinlation.
Mr. .V tsit A RT, at the organ or the Committee or
Sir Samuel Itotnilly. thanked the Electors for the
strong mark of catilidence which they had this dry
given to one or the moat etunietat characters of the
age. Ile was a native of tVesiminster 1111111 of
cousioninate talent —and, in the Senate, he had
always proved himself to he the true friend of the
people. They must rejoice to see a man poasessed
of Ins abilities representing them in Parliament.--
They most It see admired him, when they ;Harked
his mislaid application of throve talents to the
cause of the people—when they saw him dumb-
founding Ministers by his reasouing—and putting
to fight their. veinal supporters. No instance could
Ise pointed out, in which he had deserted the cause
of freedom ; anal, if he c. sine into Parliament by
their exertions, no man would be more ready to
lend his assistance in bringing about that just and
true It •I•rm which alone avoid save the country.—
(Appliare.)—Sir Samuel Itomilly wanted nothing
from G arernineut. Could any man be foolish
enough to suppose that he who had realised a
princely fortune by his own exertions—who had,
neverthelese, devoted a great portion of his tune to
the service of the State—could it be supposed that
such r nom would be swayed by mean or improper
motive. ?---(Applause. f—Sir Samuel
!waste life was as praiseworthy as his public one
was beneficial. It would be highly honourable to
I.ls fellow-citisens, if they gave Sir Samuel a seat
as the Senate, and he hoped the men of Westmin-
ster would not forget that he had been burn
amongst them.
Mr. P. WALSER said, he never thought, and

grace. Ile would rather fall with honour, than

the men who caused the majority this day—these
were the men who would divide the national spoil
between them. The people had had enough of it
—anti it was high time they should be masters its
t..e.r own house. There might be some shades of
rldference in the opium's of those who deemed re.
harm neces-ary—but the great object they were all
contending for was the purification of the Corn.

b • discouraged by the issue of this day. There
e ere iB,ooo Electors in %Vestittinster, and of that
ari nbaa. but very few hod yet polled. The event of
this day ought not to guide the opinion of the
Electors. 'that event was produced by *thins long
laid, and ready to be acted un—plans connected
with Treasury influence. The poll, on a future
di, would shew a different avert. The eyes of
uli England were on the Electors of Westmiuster—
sod he called (anthem not to abandon the venerable
• supporter of their rights, Major Cartwright, whose
principles were reiterated by the voice or millions.
Mr. W. C. hut said, he thought it his deity to
a hires. the Electors so behalf of Sir Samuel Ito.
imlly. for the purpose of removing certain nista-
eourable reports that had gone •lirood respecting
him. It was asserted, that, if Sir Samuel were nut

returned for Westniiiister, he ',mild be sent into
Parliament for some borough of his own. This
was not the case. Sir Samuel had no borough.
He hoped the present state of the poll would not
cwt., tiny in in to relax Ind efforts. for idocing this
celebrated character oil that prowl eminence which
merits clearly entitled him to. Ile trusted the
Electors would east he led away by mere report, of
the characters of the Candidates—lint that they
would di.crisoisrate between the. I Gentlemen
now before them, ■nd snake their election as cou-
science dictated.
Mr. HUNT then addressed the people briefly.
They saw what the state of the poll was this eve bbbbb g.
He entreated his biros.* to come forward wit hermit ;
if they did so, on Mondry next his rotaries.* might
see the state of the poll with dismay. He emitted
them fur their unanimous approbation of 'mu this
day, and took lease of them for the present.
Mr. GALE JONES ettributed the success of the
two Caudidates first on the poll to the exertions
and influesice of individual friends. They might
now exult in their success, awl ridicule his friends;
but, before the Election was over. Mr. Hunt might
cause them to tremble. He hod no doubt, how-
ever unpropitious the commencement of the poll
was, the result of it would hr glorious to the cause
of freedom, and disgraceful to its adveraisries.
That might have the apprerence of victory, which
was, in reality, but the straggle of men in despair.
They had not solicited s siugle iudsvulurl. Lest
groundless despondency should be the conse-
quence of to- lay's proceedings, he insist observe,
that the bu.iiirss was not properly began yet.
Mr. Hunt had only acted the put of o prudent
General, in not bringing Isis whole force into action
at Once. A lesson was taught by the result of this
ddr. —tAt this lime much Imaginer warn excited by
;he unexpected apprentice of a sweep, who had
contrived to elevate himself above the crowd near
to where Mr. Jima.* spoke.]—He slid not know
whether that was the effect of accident or design,
hut lie wanted no better proof of the, wretched con-
dition to which the people of England were reduced
by tile conduct of their Representatives thou the
appearance of that unfortunate boy. Ile exhorted
them to imitate the independent conduct of thr
Electors of Itrestminster, in placing Horne Tooke
.hove Sir F, Burdett and Lord Hood—and conjur-
ed them to rally round 11r. Hunt, if they entertained
soy regard fur freedom, any desire to transmit it to
their children, or any anxiety to defeat the Court
Candidate, or any detestotom of the mean arta re-
sorted to, to seduce and then betray them.

people dispersed at the same time, about a quar-

SOUTHWA KS ELECTION.

Yesterday morning, at half-past nine o'clock, the
Election of Members fur the Borough of South.
mirk commenced ow the hustings, in front of the
Town Hall.

At eight o'clock, as Sir Robert Wilson was pro.
ceeding in 6i. landau to the election, he wee met at
the Asylum, Westmin.ter.road, by a large body of
electors, wearing light blue and purple cockades
(the colours or Sir Rolled and Mr. Calvert), pre.
ceded by a band of music, and two men carrying
large purple harmer, on which were painted,
is Wilson, the Friend of the People." and " Wilson
and the Independence of Southwark." The gal-
lant Candidate was received with loud cheers, and
he could with difficulty prevent the people from
tasking the horses from his eirriage. The cavalcade
dress Mend fill, leading Sir Robert %Yawn (who
war here j.siued in his landau by Meese.. Hall and
Wetherstusw) by a circuitous route to the hustings,
amid the acclamations of the people, the bands
striking up, " See the conqueriug Hero comes."

Mr. BARCLAY had privately arrived on the hust-
ings a few minutes earlier. A friend of his imme-
diately introduced Sir !When to Mr. Barclay, the
rival candidates, mutually exp►essed great personal
►espect for each other, and expressed au earnest de-
sire that the contest should he conducted on public
grounds. Sir H. Wilson assured Mr. Barclay thit
both himself and adherents would do all in their
power to guard against ally thing like the intrudac-
tion of perm:Wily, and to conduct the election
with the utmost decorum.

Mr. CALVERT arrived shortly after, and was re-
ceived with great applause.
At half-past nine o'clock the HIGH BAILIFF. at-
tended by Alderman Sir J. EAMER, ordered the Pre-
cept for holding the Election to be read, and took the
usual oaths fur his impartiality. &e. Mr. Barclay
and Mr. Calvert were on his right haul, and Sir
R. Wilson on his Irft.

The HIGH BAILIFF tlwn earnestly exhorted the
Electors to conduct the business they were about to
enter upon with drcency, impartiality, and decorum.
Mr. SOLOMON Daetxs came forward to pro-
pose Mr. Charles Calvert, and was received with
g►eat applause. Ile observed, that when his Ilon.
Friend first solicited their suffrages in 1807, be was
told that it was fully to snake such an attempt, as
we would not be able to poll 500 votes. The re-
sult however, was, tort Ire bad procured the sup-
port of 1,634 indepesiderst Electors, and was left in

rlectots to vote for both, to the exclusion of Mr.
Barclay, then they might say they were fairly re-
presented.- (Applause.)
The Candidates then severally came forward to
the trout of the poll-desk, and addressed the
Meeting.
Mr. CALVERT came forward. and was loudly
cheered. He said that this was the third time lee
