THURSDAY.

The crowd in zinc,' about Guildhall far exceeded these on the for-•
•mer days. Numerous flags and placards were exhibitol, one of the
latter of which. conspicuously displayed, bore the following inscrip-
t iorr: —•• To the admirers of Green Bags !—Mears. Curtis, Atkins,
Ohm, Castles, and Co. will manufacture Green Bags at any moment
the Ministers may direct." This was attached to a large green bag
stuffed, suspended from the lop of a pole, and having upon the out-
aide a large red seal.
About half-past 3 o'clock, the numbers were exhibited in the fol-
lowing order

The Candidates then addressed the Livery in succession. but the two
last were *mailed by such loud disapprobation, that they could not
be heard.—Mours. Wood and Wastinnau were draws huiue by the
populace.

Aldermen Wood and Thom, Mr. Waithman and Mr. Wilson,
severally returned thanks, and requested a continuance of the support
of their friends.

Alderman Curtis made several attempts to address the Livery;
but the noise in the pall undered whatever he said inaudible. At
last the worthy baronet turned rouud, and pointing to the numbers
on the poll, said, " Look there—look there—the poll speaks suffi-
ciently for me."
Alderman Atkias next eime forward. but, after some ineffectual
attempts to make himself beard, withdrew.

WESTMINSTER ELECTION.

Thermlay being the day fixed for the election, an immense
crowd collet led in Covent.sarden at an early boor. The
scaffolds erected in front of the hustings Were soon filled,
and lung before the bout at which the proceedings a t re to
commence, the space between the scaffold and the I: a:stings
Vi MI completely occupied. Sir :%Inrray Maxwell's friends had
hoisted a onion flag, and three ahP,'s ensigns, white, blue and
red, on the acatfolds at the extremity, next King.stt yet. nearly
opposite to the part of the buntings on which the gallant
itinmst—...•.:zwards took his station. A few minutes after 3
o'clock, Mr. Hind, aceompamed by iris two sonatina scythe(
friends, arrived in a barouch, amidst the hums of the popu-
lace, at the hustings. From the centre of the baroneh his red
Hag was displayed. It bore the inscription " Universal
suffrage," and was surmounted by the cap of liberty, round
which was written "Henry Hunt and Liberty." Mr. Hoot
having bowed repeatedly to his friends, took his station ora
that part of the hustings adjoining Henrietta.street, and di-
rected his Hag to he affixed to one of the scaffolding poles
opposite. Mr. Peter Walker, Mr. Cleary, and the friends of
Major Carta right, soon after made their appearance. The
friends of Sir Francis Burdett stationed themst Ives almost in
the centre et the hustings. and by displaying placaids with
the Hon. Baronet's name inscribed ou them, excited :inch
cheering amongst the crowd.
Shortly after this, Sir Murray Maxwell arrived, dressed is
a full naval uniform, and was receised with a mixture of
hisses sod groans.
Mr. Snuck then earns forward and observed, that be lia4
been informed since he came on the hustings that he was to
be the first person who should have the honour .of addressing
the electors. It was nut ileitis own accormt he came forward,
but to support a gentleman whom he felt it his duly to nowt
nate, because he had lung heen their representative. He
begged to congratulate them on the time basting arrived.
when, in consequence of the gracious condeseeitsiou of his
Majesty's Ministers, they were about to enjoy the advantage
of exeicising their elective franchise. They had now the
opportunity of electing their representatives, and it was
their duty tosond into Parliament men who possessed know.•
ledge and talents, and were distinguished for true constitu.
I I principles. They would take care, lie hoped, not to
send into Parliament men who had no object in going three but
to provide for themselves and their families, lint such as would
be the guardians of liberty and the terror otsvicketi ministers.
With regal d to their late representatives, it was not necessary
one of them of to make any obsei rations in the pospeet of a
a return. That representative hail taken his leave of thew.
and was :Mont to remove to a distant part of the world.—
Their late representative, Sic Frances Burdett, was. however,
still among them, and now they had the tight of again return.
ing him to Parliament. itithey thought fit. With regard to
any other catolida.e it became him to say little. As. that lio
had ninlei taken to do was to recoil) 'tend their late illustrious
representative, Sir Francis Burdett,once moreto their choice.
He doubtless had his own opinions and psrtialities, perhaps
his prejudices, with respect to the other eattdidates4 and he
should only say, that for his own cart he had made op his
das to his choice among the othr r t:a:nlitlatee. Who was
so fit as Sir Samuel Romilly to be a colleague of Sir Francis
Burdett? He had known the former gentleman long, and ad.
wired his upright and able conduct in Parliament, and he
should cestaildy aatetfor him. At present, however, all that
remained for him to do, was to propose the nomination of
Sir Francis Burdett to be egoist one of their representatives.. .

Mr. Richardson, junior, acme forward to second this nomi-
nation.
Ma. Peter Walker now stepped forward to propose Major
Cartwright. He spoke with great vehement e and gesticu:
latien. tie said he recommended the semi able Major, as the
tried friend of universal suffrage and annual parliaments.
Two factious had been long cos►ending, sepaintely, to sub-
vert the liberties of the people of liresiniinsser, and n..w it
4ppeared they had united to efe..l that object. The people
had, by the rffortasof the corrupt and renal, been too loog•ex-
eluded from the right of sending Members to their own House.
Bet :if Major Cartwright were elected, he would exert his
utmost efforts to restore them to their longlost right. It was
true, Major Cartwright was infirm ; but he would, by his
ahilities,set millions of people to work, whose petitions could
not be long unattended to.
Lord Henry Howard recommended Sir Samuel Romilly to
the electors as &statesman who was an honour to his country
And bantam flatware. He bad been tried and never (mind
wanting ; and no man was better capable of petformiug
the &tits of a representative of the people, or more deter-
sss a l led to discharge them diligently and faithfully.
Mr. Wishart seconded the nomination of Sir Samuel Ho-
milly. He observed that the learned gentleman aho was
now nominated d d the warmest support of the electors,
as be had always shown himself most anxioa•ao•have justice

of ..men, the constant advocate .of the interest of humanity,
and .iss electing him-they would confer an honotor on them-
selves, and show that they ,properly estimated the virtues of
the man of their choice.

Mr. Glossop proposed the Hon. D. Kinnaird, a gentleman
whose constitutional principles were well known, as a proper
person to be nominated ou this occasion.
Mr. Richardson, senior, presented himself to second the
nomination of the Honourable Douglas Kinnaird. He had
had the honour t. praise Lord Cochrane, fur the two last Par..
liatucnts ; he knew the saint of a brave seaman, as he b. I

for I see hundreds of pretty girls pressing forward te hear
what I have to say. One of the proudest privileges of an
Englishman is to stand (lemma un an occasion like this and
solicit the favour of his countrymen. I feel that lam now
standing on the hoards from which a Rodney, a Hood, a Gard-
ner, and last, though not least in your estimation, a Cochraue,
have formerly met with your kind attention and respect.—
You have long been accustomed to select one of your repre.
sentatives from the profession to which I have the honour to
belong. Of the 36S flap' is the year, perhaps no one could
be more auspicious fora British officer's appeal to his coun-
trymen than the present, the anniversary of the ever mentors.
ble battle of Waterloo. That victory was achieved, indeed,
by a service in which I ant not engaged, bat I have no doubt
that many of you who hear me partieipnted in its dangers and
its glories. There is a natural interest, however, taken in
such triumphs by that branch of the public service which
succeeded at the Nile, Copenhagen, and Trafalgar. One
word more before I conclude. One gentleman has thought
proper to tell yon for whom yon ought not to vote, and this
person is himself the representative of an absent candidate,
I appear in perm: before yon, an humble candidate for your
suffrages, and presume not to direct your choice with regard
to another. I turn myself wholly to you ; I throw myself into
the midst of you. (Here Capt. Maxwell was saluted with a
considerable quantity of dirt. which bespatsered all those
around him.) I have often received shot from my enemies ;
this is the first time I have ever received them front my
friends. It has been angeested to ore that every other candi-
date has sported his peculiar colours; the custom has not been
overlooked bzt me, and you see them above you, the Union
Jack of Old England. My colotirs are not planted where the
seeds of disorder and confusion flourish, they are Fleeted, I
trust, in the hearts of the electors of Westminster.
Mr. Harley next stepped forward in support of Mr. Hunt.
Great confusion prevailed threstghout the course co' ibis gen-
tleman's speech, which prevented our being able to bear
distiuctly what he said.
Mr. Gale Jones said, lie was anxious on so important an
Occasion, when Englishmen were assembled to appoint a
representative, to state fairly to them the object of their
efforts. Mr. Hunt's ttients were not pressed men; they
were voluntet rs in his cause, and they wet e willing to shame
the abuse which had been poured forth upon that injured
iudividnal ; they would not suffer him to be run down. Of his
opponents, some of theist professed the same priuciplcs, but
where were those gentlemen Of time Court candidate, he
was sure the electors f Westminster would beware; it was
their duty to attend to principles ; if that ditty had been
performed, the ruinous system which had been pursued svoirid
not have gained ground. It might be trite that Sir Samuel
Romilly was an excellent man ; but private character was ito
recommendation there; his friends had done wrong to advise
bias ta offer himself for Westminster, when he cupid have
been elected elsewhere without injury to the cause of fret.

Tower, gentlemen, has no terrors for me ; but if I should go
there, I promise you I will never stuak out at the back dour.
Eleven years ago Sir V. Burdett pledged himself to his COD-

leaves of the lawmen red book. Has he ever succeeded in
tearing out a single leaf, or even in erasing a single name or

The High Bailiff then stepped forward, and called upon the
electors to declare, by a show of hands, which of the geode.
men who had been nominated, they chcee to be their represen-
tative in the Commons House of Parliament. The names of
the different candidates b. ing then successively called over,
and a show of hands taken on each, the High Bailiff declared
that the e:ectiun had fallen upon Sir S. Hominy and Henry
Hunt, Esq.
A poll was then demanded for the other candidates, and
the High Bailiff aunonaced that after the lapse of an hour, to
a!low the necessary preparations to be made, the polling
would commenee.

Mr. S. Davis then carne forward. He said he hoped they would
lend him their attention to the few words with wl.ich he shoual trou.
ble them. When Mr. Calvert had been offered in iso7, he had been
told that it was a folly, and they would not poll SOO voters. The fact,
however, was otherwise. Instead 01,500, they ,wit gut 1634,
though they did not cotne till the eleventh hour. '1 his had given the
death blow to the high party in the Borough. It was scarcely ne-
cessary for hi.n to enter into a detail of the Lsonduct pursued by Mr.
Calvert, since he had become a representative of Southwark. His

which he should allude was the suspension of the Habeas Corpus

nisters ; anal in like manner on thec,ucstion of the Indemnity Bill,
he would be discovered in his place in the ranks of opposition. These
were the remarks which he had taken the liberty of making before be
recommended to them Mr. Charles Calvert as an object of then.
choice, which he then did wit the most ecmplete e-Aivietion of his
merits.

Mr. F. Young came forward to propose Mr. Barclay, but the
noise was so gnat that it was impossible for wine time to hear :Mo.
He said that Mr. Barclay's property placed him above temptation);
and if they wished to be teirly *epic:re:3W, they could nut eleet a
mere fit person as (rise of them members the the ensuing Parliament.
Notwithstanding the noise and opposition that there now appeared
against that geotleman, he was convinced that there would be a ma.
stoney of votes in his favour when they came to the poi.
Mr. T. A Shuter seconded Mr. tiarelay's nomination, and after
speaking fur a short time amidst very violent lesposition, he retired.
Mr. Hall said be had to propose Sir Hobert Wilson, and he was
coavinoed mat though that name stood last, it was not least in the
oaututtior. of the electors (applause). On that occasion he felt it
netvssary ter inquire into the political conduct of those who offered
tuemeelvat to the electors. Mr. Barclay had on occasions void
against toe interest of the people, whilst his colleague, Mr. Celt r, t,
!tail ucen found 1r support of them. Sir R. Wilson ha,' oven accused
ot Invite; been tile friend of war, but what was Mr. Barclay ?—nut
only toe trend of war, but of war-taxes. He had voted for the
property-tar, and hart been an advocate of that obooxioue mescure
tee torn-bill. Scarcely had he set his foot on the threshold of the
home, before he had voted for 'a
committee on that subject; but
ms *induct was in opposition to his constituents. and tearing
for his seat, de hid in the succeeding stages of that measure turneu

Mr. itareley had voted for the first, but again feetmg his seat trem-
ble tattler dune, he turned round and voted against tee second. After-
wards, wren nit found, anti the Ministers found, that nie people
would be ao longer humbugged, they lilt it necessary to repeal the

of, and IV/ling mat they had overstepped the ail altieh they
had been entrusted, they had brought in the' Hideo-314y ail Here
Mr. Barclay had again voted against the people. Would it then he
said that he was a fit man again to become their representative ?
Of the merit., of Sir It. Wilson it was unnecessary' for him to say
1111.10/. He was a man well known to ahem all. It. had served its
country bravely, he had often endangered his lire for them in battle,
and he now uttered himself as the supporter of their intents in the
House of Coaunons. lie had no douto, if they should elect Sir
Hubert Wilson, that he would be Mum. an equally brave, active,
and persevering opponent of thei: domestic enemies hi the senate,
as he had been of weir foreign enemies in the tick!.
Mr. Weatherstone seconded the nomination of Sir Robert Wilson.
He holed we electors wculd exert themselves, and come up to the
poll early to make the success of Sir Hobert 1V ilson certain, and put
an end to the contest.
Mr. Calvert said, that was the third time that he had had the
honour of addressing the electors on eccaeions like the present, and it
was the third thile that he had been nominated by the seine gentle-
men who had o kindly done that good office for him that day. Ile
felt that as the highest honour, bee.iuse it convinced him that he
had deserved their support lie had opposed the Corti Bill, because
he considered it most mise.deetais 'for Parliament to interfere in fixing
a price upon grain, though that measart might be introduced
with the bed motives. He had opposed the Suspension Act; that
had always had his opposition and always would have it. (In the
same grountfi he had opposed the Bill of indemnity. His conduct
were in their hands, and thee would judge of it. He stood confident
of their support, and called tin them to use their exertions to put him
at the head of the poll, and by their declared sappert to bring the
contest, which would disturb their traneeMity while it lasted, to a
speedy termination.
Mr. Barclay next carne forward but the noise was so great,
that it *as with difficulty any thing he said could be heard. Ile
defended his Parliamentary conduct througletut. Ile had always,
hesaidiachd according to the dictates of his cr.:wit-nee ; and if they
should elect him, he alottlil always continue cinscientiously to die-
charge the duties imposed stpon Mete
Sir R. Wilson then cotrie fit eard amid went applause. It was
with difficulty chit he could so tar restreia his emotion of gratitude
as to be able to address those who now gave hint so dattering a re
ceptiun, and to return his thank! to the gentlemen who had put him
in nomination, and called for the support of the electors. Ile was
bound, first. to express his satisfaction at seeing thoee whom he now
addressed once more restored to the exercise of their elective fran-
chise ; and, secondly, to congratulate them on being thus restored
by the dissolution of a most unconstitutional Parliament that ever
afflicted this country...h Patliament tint had mutt:tinned doctrines,
and consented to protectahngs not only hostile to the ire...:tiva of this

very of our fleets and armies, anti its great inter:Jai resources o' spi-

The show of Kand;;;;;; then taken. The nomination was declared
in favour of Mr. Calvert and Sir Hobert Wilson, after which a poll

After the poll was declared, thecandidates came forward to address
the meeting, and :he assetnblage departed without creating any dis..

carried him on their shoulder in triumph to a neighbouring inn.
Among the porilace the whole of the day Mr. Barclay and Mr.
Barclay's friends -seemed to be the objects of general and virulent
anur.nsity. On the other hand, the ff.entls of Mr. Calvert and Sir
H. Wilson were Mo. ays received with shouts of applause, and wore
their cockades am.d the names nf their candidates triumphantly.

in :tort: it?g the state of the roll, congratulated them on that state
now aat it was exhibited. 'Their satisfaction was already shown
and he could assure them, that the pruud situation which it placed
himself inspired hint with the liveliest gratitude. It pros ed that his
parliamentary conduct had not met with the disapprobation of his
cowstituents ; for, though much superior on the end *lithe second day's
poll on the last election, his superienty on the present was considerably
augmented.
Mr. Barclay, who was with difficulty heard, thanked his friends
sincerely for the exertions they had that day made in h:s favour. Al-
though at the bottom of the poll, he was far from belie% Mg that the
contest was yet decided, and should renew it tomorrow with undimi-
nished spirit.
Sir Hobert Wilson declared, that a more illustrious example of
public irtue and public spirit was net to be found in history, than
the conduct of the inhabitants of Southwark had presented for the
last two days. They had encountered, and successfully encountered.
an accumulation of wealth and influence such as never before had
been brought into exercise against the cause of independence. This
they had done unassisted by any of those means usually brought
in aid of electioneering objects. relying only on their own patriotism.
and attachment to those principles which they believed to be just.—
Their exertions and public spirit had accordingly produced surprise
in every quarter; his success had not only exceeded his own most
sangtune expectations, but, had disappointed the opinion of must
people.
