lIIIDDLEEX ELECTION,

Attlie,close of tbe Poll ou Saturday,_ the num-
bers were:

For Mr. MeLLlstr - - - - 2792
Mr BYNC, - - 2,74
Sir F. BuitnETT - - - 743

Mr. BYNG, as usual, made his bow and retired:
Sir FRANCIS BURDETT' then stepped forward, and
addressed the Meeti•ig; to the following effect, Geiftlernen—Althou;ll you yesterday paid to
the Candidate near me every attention. which can be
to any Gentleman who stands forward on these
huStingse'expVeling,": no dontare that Mr. Mellish.
would condescend to gratify the curiosity, which he
had excited by ,his mysterious discovery of the pre-
ceding day ; and, although your epeaations in that
were'diSappiiinted, I ncype•you will 'be more
en-innate to-,day, and that-he will at length indulge.:
us With .explanation the.manner in xt,'hich he.
teme by that curious cliss'o2,';ery; :The oWinacidig
played by the Hun. Gentlettian ititetaining his-secret,
reminds me of an, expression used by Launce-,..a
ciown, in one.ef Shakspeare's Plays—who
terrogated as to, a secret in his keeping, clelarced,
" thit a of hOrses should not Plnckii feoin
hiao,,YeSterdiay the Hon'. Gentleman favoured,us
with but one ohservatiOn and thatjlot a yery gra,
cious one:—" that inv speeches had no et-feet upon
, however, shall notereturn him. so • bad a
coinVitnent 'as, to, Atli.; speech ; tor that containing
tire it opertan t discovery, is
.the poly one with' which
he has favoured. us; and i hope ,he will not,grudge,
me the.nse „that speech, as I and my,principies_.
are. particularly: -enticed in it..
.When ,I had some-
whatrecovered fro= the surprise into. which that
grand discovery-threw me, I began to form _con-
teetures how he could have. obtained it. 't
had
heard of many grAt men and profound philoso-
phers, who, in the-pursuit of one-abstruse point, at
last stumbled .on another' disco.very, prebably ,of
equal utility or importance ; .and,accordingly began.
to consider what grand pursuit. the Hon. Gentleman
could. have been engaged in when he tell on Allis
precious discOvery. Considering that, the Hon. Gen-
tleman was a Bank Director,, - and,cepsidering also
how valuable gold must be to the Bank at the pre-
sent moment, I was satisfied that he could have been
in -pursuit of no other object than the Philosopher's.
Stone. And, Gentlemen, it must be a consolation,
to you to think, that whenever he shall. have-sound
it, the--Bank will resume its payments in cash. I
hope he will persevere in -his pursuit; and though
he thinks so lightly of me, I am convinced there
is no _man more likely to discover the . Philpso-
pher's Stone than the Honourable Gentleman".—
[Mr. Mellish
,here addressed himself to Sir 'Francis
Burdett.)---" The Hon., Gentleman says, tie does
not -think lightly of me, but- of ,my principles. I
thank him for, the explanation.----The discovery
mane by the. Hon. Gentleman.reminds me. of
a Philosopher of- a former oge, celebrated by-Ben
Johnson in his Alchemist. This person had, like-
Mr. Mellish, been in ,pursuit' of the Philosopher's
Stone : ,having sought, for it in -vain' during the
greater. part of his life, he in his old age matte a
discovery—not of the Philosopher's Stone indeed;
nut one prohably more useful to mankind in general
--eef a cure for the itch, Although' the discovery
made by Ben Johnson's Alehyrnist may be supposed
to-bear. a may the palm from. that of, the Hon. Gen-
fiemin, in point of utility, the discovery of the Hon.
t4entletnau mtist unquestion'ably- hold precedence of
the oilier in p)i:lt otingenuity. It must have the
merit of ple.asing the learned_ feW and Co be highly
esteemed by Mr. Bowles and his compeers-==-if that
,Gentlemen, Jie not peerlees-e-trust 'be far more
egit'eeable to Mr. Meth -h. 'then to have pleasedeor
endeivensed serve t;e -swinish multitude itr-ge-
net' al ..-77(4.1;p auses .) N uable: thing,, we are all
aware, .is procured' without great pains and la-.
bOur.3..and the . pains which we bestow in en-
Vvouring to attain our object, is in general - the
hest criterion -by which- tO judge how much we
--glue it. So Mr. Mellish may see how much
I value his' opinion, by the pains I have taken
o induce him to state it. BUt unless I shall be as
fortunate as- he has been; and shall be-able to find
out a process by which unknown principles may be
. :nstilled into .ether principles unknown : unless I
Mall be able to-all :on a mode of distilling his.prin-
eiples out-of the Hon. 'Gentleman.' against his will,
am "afraid I must fail :in my attempt. The Hon.
:3'entleman'is-more prudent even. than the sagacious.
Burleigh. in the Critic.. Though that- prudent States-
man would not give utterance to his' feelings, he
.hewed his conviaion. that all was not right, by
a shake of 'the head. Even this mark of approba-,
tion or disapprobiOn cannot be extorted from the
Honourable Gentleman..; It would have been a
fi'otunate circumstance that Ministers had been
equally silent. Had they been so, the affairs of
Europe would not now have. worn so dismal an as-
pea. The Honourable' Gentleman would have ,us
to suppose, that the first, glimpse he got into my
principles was on the day before yesterday. What
his owneprhiciples are he has not, ,either before or
since that period, thought prover to deblare, and
the knowledge 'of them he seems inclined still to
retain within his own breast."
Mr. ,Mpt.Ltsx.—" Gentlemen Freeholders, I
ball begin in my old way; by returning thanks for
the honour you have done me. • If the speeches of
the Worthy Baronet. are amusing to you, they, of
-course; must-be gratifying to me."
The Meeting, then adjourned.

A Gentleman remarking on !Change, that the
General Eleetion had set the whole kingdom in a
fhtine, a by,standerobserved, ‘‘ Not half the flame
the present new Lottery Scheme will excite among
Candidates for ;Fortunes 'favours. The two 30,0001.
continued he) are 'alone sufficient to fire the bosom
:.f every Lottery Adventurer throughout the nation !"

A Gentleman in the Fens of Cambridgeshire had
lately '6-owing fifteen acres of sun-flowers, the stems
':if which are amazingly tall and thick, and the
heads very large. They promise much seed,, which
inany persons engaged in oil-mills expea will.pro-
rince oil, equal in quality to whatis calle t Gallipoli
