FRIDAY.

At the conclusion of the poll this day, the following num-
be. s were exhibited .

For Sir S. Romilly 5,11, I Por Sir M. Ma5we11...4,608
Sir F. Burdett .4.985 I Mr. Hunt 81

Mr. Hunt first presented himself, and his appearance was the
signal of the usual uproar. lle began by alluding, in very coarse
terms, to a hoist:whipping scene, which had becu acted on the
Lustings that morning, ill which he and Mr. lbwling, of the Ob-
sPrver office, were the principal performers ; and in which it is com-
monly sapposed that he had played the part of a setliirer. This he
denied, and stated some circumstances relative to tee affray. The
course of his narrative, although he radii cued it by denominating his
adrertary *6 raw head and bloody bones," was interrupted by the
:oudest cries of 66 coward, white leather, off, off!" Ile was ready.
If any of thuse hissing cowards would come forward. to meet him in
e. ring amongst them all. IT they did not give him thir play,. he
would stand there till he could obtain it. Ile should nut enter into
a story of Sir F. Burdett's refusing to present a petitien of Mr.
Bryant to the House of Commons. Mere the interruption v.-as so
long and general, that the case of Mr. Bryant, so well known in the
("mit of Chancery, was omitted.) They had been told that he had
been horsewhipped that mornipg ; they saw him now, and mild see
whether he then: any marks .of such a castigation. Mr. Dowling,
Yuwever, who had laid a whip over his head whiht his back was
tuned, had received fr.nn his brother and himself what he would
cary with him to his grave. He would new read thew a letter fmin
Mr. Cleary to himself, with regard to this same Mr. Dowling and
which they would receive with that degree of belief that belonged to
tie evidence of one Hellman against another. This letter. which was
ted October. v-as in substance as follows t--••• That he. Mr.
leary, understood from Mr. Finnerty, on the authority of pawns
who had heard them. that Mr. Dowling had used threats that he
would horsewhip Mr. Hunt whenever he should meet him. That
1:r. Dowling had also added, that it was the knowledge of his inten-
ticae which Cad kept Mr. Hunt from atteadiag a I 'mutton hall in
tile city of London. (In the midst of the uproar which followed the
Tending of the letter, a suck was thrown at 31r. !JUJU, who observed,
tut it could only conic from some Irish bully., Had Mr. Cleary
new become the brother bravo of Mr. Dowling? Ile himself had
been called a spy of the Government. if he was so, it was strange
that he should have incurred the entity of another spy, and it was
still stranger that he was the man who gave evidence on the trial of
Dr. Watsen, against the apnts of Gmernment, among whom was
Mr. Dowling. (Here 31r. Hunt read aeother letter, which, he said,
was one written by Castles to Lord r;ridniouth, for money to enable
`tins to redeem his wearing apparel frutu the pawnbrokce'sd The
mairffier of his speeet conststed of a challenge to the friends of
!Sir F. Barden, to point out what he had ever done fur the people, or
a hat he was likely, or had promised to do, and terminated by a
solemn assurance that he would at letot be a spy on the conduct
of the Honourable Baronet, and wherever he appeared, be there
',tr. Ellis said, the number of suffrages given for Sir M. Maxwell
tally acquitted him of the c!.arge of presumntion in ensuing forward
to claim their judgment respecting hint. Sir Murray Maxwell would
.onsider it to be the proudest eircionstunce in his life, whether ulti-
tAately successful or not, that so many of the electors of Westinin
'ter had honoured hint with their COWL No greater tribute could

long to the other side, would be witnessed without any asperity of
feeling or. tiwirs.
Mr. Stench, in a short but animated speech, exhorted them to
renewed efforts on the succeeding day, not for the purpose of victory,
which was already theirs, but for that of renderilig it illustrious and
complete.
Mr. Wishart returned thanks or. the part of Sir S. Romilly's
friends, and mentioned his hope.; cf meeting them an those hustings
again, at the cud of the next three years.
Mr. Cleary stated as a fact, that a foreign ambassador, the repre-
sentative of a despotic govetnmenr, had been engaged, togetler with
his lady, in actively soliciting votes for Sir M. Maxwell. (Cries of
" erne, name.") Ile could rct, in common discretion, comply
with this call, but had no doubt it would be canvaesed in the proper
plaLe. As Mr. Hunt had thought proper to read a private letter
written by hint, (Mr. Cleary) with a friendly feeling towards himself
he might he allowed to read a letter from Mr. Cobbeta respecting
this firebrand among freemen.
Mr. Hunt now stepped tbrward, and seemed for some time deter-
mined to prevent, by means of the clangour which this act produced,
the reading of the letter, but was at compelled to retire.
The letter, which was addressed to Mr. Cleary, was dated the loth
of Ail, How, and contained the following expressions :—" All the
gentlemen whom I have seen are loud in their praises of Sir Francis
Burdett; his late motion on the cashiering of officers has procured
him many valuable friends. It will be impossible for the two factions
by any calumny to injure our cause, provided we take cure to prevent
men of bad character front mixing wall us. There is one Hunt, a
Bristol man,. who rides about the country with a the wife of
another man, having; deserted his own he is. a sad fellow, have no.
thing to do with }m." At the conclusion of the letter were the
wurds, 6, I repeat it, beware of 11 tint."
The shouts of laughter, accompaMed by hissing and outcries of
every description, which now liroke from the multitude, appeared to
demouhtrate one universal sentiment, which was still more unequivo-
cally expressed by Mr. Clearv's adoption of Mr. llunt's mode
of ascertaining the feelings of his friends. The waving of his hat
was a signal obeyed :n all quarters of the prodigious crowd which
was assembled, at.d left nu doubt cf the impre,sive elects of Cobbett's
epistle.
Mr. G. douse followed as a matter of course:.

iNDEPENDFNCE AND POUT% or this

gence .—" Mr. E. Arnett, of Ensliam, who rent:, a farm of
the Duke of Marlborough, niade known his intentions of
voting for Mr. Lockhart to Mr. P. Paine, a clerk in the office
of the Duke at Woodstock, who accosted him in the Town
Hall a* lie was going up to vote, and who endeavoured to dis-
suade him from doing so. Mr. Arnatt, however, voted fur
Mr. Lockhart, and soon after received the following notice :
' Mr. E. Amman, take notice, that you quit and deliver cp the
possession of those lands and larreditanicnts winch you occu-
py as tenant to mc, situate at Enshain or elsewhere, iu the

Setiewnete OFF TUC ISLAND or Cnusic.s.—Extract from
71re Mulls Gii2rile.—" The ship Costanee, Captein Maino,
lately arrived at this port from Leghorn, has brought several
passengers, who had the misfortune to be shipwrecked a
short time since on the coast of Corsica, while on board of a
French homharde ; and among the number we are happy to
announce the arrival of two ladies, passengers, Mr. and Miss
Reinard, whose distresssing situation on the above occasion
may be inure readily imagined than described. They are in-
debted for their lives solely to the gallant and humane ex-
ertions of Captain Wyatt, of the Royal Navy. When the
vessel first struck, the ladies were below ire, ;hell. cehin, and
betbre they had time to get on deck, she struck a second time,
when, every ouc alarmed, thinking only on individual safety,
the two ladies weirs left in this perilous state helms ; on their,
howeeer,at last reaching the deck, will, great ditlienliy, they
found the vessel deserted, mud themselvee left helpless bellied,
their awful pretheastient was no sooner perceived by tl'e
generous spirited Capt./ inWyatt, than, regardless et* personal
sakty, he immediately threw himself amongst the turbulent
waves, and swam to their assistance, and, after the greatest
exertions and perseverance, succeeded in his latidalde,
though hazardous undertaking, by couveyiug the two ladies
iu safety to the shore."
By a vessel recently arrived from New South Wale', pa-
pers have been received up to the end of December last.—
The colony emitinned to be in a flourishing conditiou, and
considerable exports of flue wool have been already ma le,
and will probably be notch increased in the course of a few
seasons. The Sydney Gazette of the 11th of October, girls
an interesting account of the discoveries lately made in the
interior of New Holland, by the Surveyor General, Mr. Ox-
ley. Another expedition was about to depart, under the
direction of the same Gentleman, fur the purpose of tracing
the course of the Marin:ale river; which, from its size and
appearance, promises to become of the first importance to
the colony. The increase in the colony of cultivation and
live stock, from the end of 1813, to the end a 1815, has been
in acres cultivated 3,756, pasture 46,015, horses and mules
4.;7, and sheep 3,706. From 1600 to 1815, or in 15 years, the
increase of stock was surprising, being from 163 horses, their
highest number for the first 12 years, to 2,3::8, from 1,911
horned cattle, to 25,e79, and from 6,121 sheep to 62,,176,
without taking into the account the immense quantities of
cattle aunually killed for the supply of his Majesty's stores
and the general consumption. The climate cf the colony
being found particularly favourable to the silk-worm, means
are adopting for rearing it to some extent.
Thursday evening, a little after six o'clock, the doors of Covent
Garden Theatre opening for the Mods ;ion of the audience, Ate
Rowe, the principal cites:kb:l;er a the two shilling gallery, whAe
stationed in his place, suddenly dropped from his seat, and instantly
expired.
AT AI. Boxtsro.—An inquest was held at the sign of the Hare
and Hounds, at Claygate, in Surrey, on the body a C. Smith, of
Thames Ditton, who died in consequence of a pugilistic encounter
with .1. Foster, of the same place. The parties with others, were
drinking together ; but having become quarrelsome in their cups,
west out on a green in trout of the house to determine their
diflerence ; when, after fighting 15 rounds., the deceased was thrown
violently, and his antagonist fell on him. They were lifted up; when
the deceased declined any further contest, old soon after aas seized
with violent vomiting, and was taken home mat died the next day.
Mr. Neville, e surgeon of Esher, deposed, that on opening the
hotly he found a violent inlammation of the bowels, sufficient to pro-
duce dead* which infiamma den migthsvc been produmil by the hard
pressure of a blow. The Coroner having pointed out the difference
the law made between murder and nianslatighter, the jury renuned a
verdiet of Manslaughter against Foste:, who has absconded.

:Nlonday afternoon, two nten who were employed in a large maim•
factory. near t; ader's Green, Ilampstead, had a quarrel. ;aid agreed
to decide it in.,tantly upon the Greet.. la legs titan dye minutes, one
of them, of the name of Downicy, r.xvired ?..o violent a blow uader
