GENERAL ELECTION.

BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK.
,
• (COWTINitit, Faun Ylt4TrAbAr.
At three o'clock the polling corninetieerd with very great
spirit, and infinite was the display of eleciorial wit ex-
hibited by the " unwashed artisan*" as each body of voters
approsched. Every specie* of popular fun and drollery
wee resorted to by the partizan* of the different members,
flit the pOrpoie of casting ridicule, et 'turning the laugh
against the obnoxious candidates.
From the time the'voting commenced to the'cloae of the
poll the popular feeling appeared to flow strongly in favour
of Harris, and at an tarry hour of the day the hots in his
favour were eagerly made by the speculators on the result
of the election. The following are the numbers for each
candidate, at the close of the ilay'a poll (Four o'clock.)
• Mr. .1.. R. 'Janis
Mr. C. Calvert
Sir Robert Wilson •.. ISE

Immediately after the state of the poll had been de.
dared, Mr. Harris, es shading the highest on the list,
advanced to the front of the hustings, and addressed the
electors in a speech of considerable length. Such, how-
ever, was the applause with which he was greeted, and the
frequent cheers with which almost every Sentence he at,
tete( • .• I was received, that although we succeeded (not with-
out groat difficulty) in obtaining it place• pretty near the
speaker, we could scarcely catch a single syllable which
felt front his lips. We 'understood him to continence
by the expression of his hearty thanks for the flattering
manner :in which his friends had come forward in the
course of the morning, and of his perfect conviction that
they would relax nothing in their exertions until they had
secured his eleetiou. He felt gratified that the opinion of
his more immediate friends had not hitherto been disappoint-
ed. It was quite clear, from the state of the pall, that the
voters of the berongliuf Southwark not only required a
representative wall acquainted with the general subject dour
commercial 'Mations; but also one who was well ac.
quid:dad, from a long resident* amongst them, with their
more immediate and local wants.-..(Applause.).-41e flat.

hint to Parliament, from the -knowledge he had of the
bonne), he slibuld' be able to render them very_ Wficieiit

and valuable service, since he bad passed his *Vole life
amongst them, engaged in the most active commercial
pursuit.. After a great number of other retnarks, which
were quite inaudible, Mr. Harris retired amidst the most
deafening applause.
Mr. C. CA LVERT next presented himself to the crowd,
And was received by a clamour• whiCh utterly beggars all
'description. Mr. Calvert made repeated attempts to ad—
dress the crowd; bat invariably met with the most mat ked
and determined opposition ; it was, however, pleasing
to observe the perfect good-humour and bon hownie
with which he met every rebuff and insult from the mob.
Finding every attempt to Make himself heard ineffectual,
he was about to Withdraw, when,
Mr. Mums again presented himself, and silence having
at length been partially restored, urgently begged of the
iassembled multitUde, that they would allow their old re-
presentative to address them, but even the solicitations
of the popular cantlidete were altogether unsuccessful in
calming the raging amour, and Mr. Calvert was conse-
quently obliged after all,. to !forego his intention of ad-
dressing his constituents:

Sir It.; %Lem: presented himself amidst mingled
cheers and•hisser. haVing adverted to the pro-
ceeding, of the day, and the situation in which his name
stood on the poll, the gallant Gentleman proceeded to take
a review of the political principles that always actuated his
public and Parliamentary career. He said, that he could
not refrain from expressing his surprise that the electors
of SoUthwark should have allowed a new candidate to pre-
sent himself for the honour of representing them in Par-
liament without, at least, baying called upon him to
avow his political sentiments..—(Applause and uproar.)-

Reform,' much less had he allowed any thing to escape
him during the day, calculated to satisfy their minds as to
the sentiments he entertained on that 104,0. .Ile (Sir
R. Wilson) was afraid that their opposition to his Ron.

favour of that Bill, and he Inane hesitation in declaring that
had he been certain that it would have been the last vote
of his life, he would still have persisted in acting as he hail
done. Sir Robert concluded by expressing his hope that
the state of the poll to-morrow would clearly evince that
the electors of Southwark had not been disappointed in the
confidence they had reposed in their two former mention.,
and slain return them to Parliament.

• BRIDGEWATER.—The electors are said to be di -
terrnined again not only to send to Parliament their
present Members, but to return them with a grace
of .proceeding at honourable, to the voters as it must
be flattering to their worthy ;Representatives—that
is, without allowing them to incur a shilling of

CANTERBURY, JULY 30,--The contest continues,
and is expected to be prolonged, in consequence of
the determined pertinacity of the candidates in re:. I

and 30 coaches, which had previously been des-
patched to Whitstable for the purpoie.of conveying

preceded by a band of music, and colours flying.
The company consisted chiefly of women and chil-

number._ On their arrival at the King's Head, the
Illue, or. Ford ivich party, turned the passengers
front their seats, and triumphantly proceeded up the
nigh...street, having first destroyed two of Mr. Da-
ring's standards. The utmost confusion and riot
continued until a' late hour, which was not a little
heightened by the almost incessant discharge of fire-
works of all descriptions. The• poll closed hiSt

HYTHIL—The report that Hythe would not be
contested is incorrect, Mr. Fitzroy 'telly, the bar-
rister, and Mr. Fraser, are candidates upon the town
interest, in opposition to Mr, Mnrioribunks and Mr.
Loch, the late members. The latter gentlemen
rely upon the support'of the non-resident freemeri,
who are about 400 in number, persons of various
conditions in life, and who never approach the town
except upon the day of election. On the oter i hand, the inhabitant householders of
the town,h
in number about 250, conceive that, by the immemo-
rial constitution of the Cinque Ports, and especially
of Hythe, elucideted and strengthened by the
recent decision in the Rye case, they, and not the
non-residents, are exclusively, entitled to the exercise
of the elective franchise, as freemen, and have so-
licited the new candidates to come forward, and
have to a• man pledged themselves to support them.
The resident members of the corporation (whose
votes are admitted by both parties to be unquestion-
able) are in nnmbers frcm 15 to 20 only, and are
equally divided ; one half favourable to Mr. Loch
and his colleague, who are powerfully supported by
the East India Company; the ether, half being
plefiged to the popular candidates. The questions
