CORK, Nov 14.

Tin; Ele&ion for. Members to represent this City
in Parliament came on this day. The Sheriffs took
their seats in the City Court Souse, at eleven
o'clock, and after the arrangement of some prelimi-
nary forms, the Hon. Mr. C. H. HUTCHINSON was
proposed by CHARLES LESLIE, Esq. with some ap-
propriate observations; and seconded by Sir Ria,
CHARD KELLETT ; and Colonel LONGFIELD was

proposed by Alder Man LANE., with similar intro.
duation, and seconded. by ROIVLAND Moißtsoti,
Esq. late Mayor of this City.

A Mr. BOYLE then rose up, and commented very
freely upon the respective claims of the Candidates
to popularity, or to the confidence of their constitu-
ency. , His observations were not recommendatory
of the eleetion of the candidates,; and having met
with some interruption from the Sheriffs, upon the
nature of his remarks, which produced smart and-
pointed replication, it was observed, that he was not
a privileged PeCtor, and therefore not competent to
embark in the discussion which he had undertaken.
This being admitted to be the case, by a rJerence
to the registered franchise of the city, Mr. BOYLE'S
zeal took. another 'direction, and he 'direolly offered
himself as a Candidate to represent the City.. He
was proposed and seconded by two Freemen, whose
names we could not obtain, and being thereby eli-
gible to speak, appeared upon the hustings, and
addressed the Freemen and Freeholders at large.

A sho* of hands, being demanded for each Can-
, didate, and only a few appearing in favour of Mi..
BOYLE'S claim, the Sheriffs, after the usual procla-
mations for objealion and competition, declared the
Hon. Mr. C. H. HUTCHINSON and Colonel LONG-
FIELD. duly ele&ed to represent this City in Parlici-
.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM THE COUNTY OF

WICKLOW, NOV. 12.

Last Tuesday night as poor Charles Kavanagh,
of Killynure, a most honest and industrious man,
was-"returning from Dublin, where he had been
selling bacon, he was way-laid on the road leac:ing
from Bahinglass to Rathvelly, by three villains, who
robbed him of a large sum of money, and beat and
kicked .him so inhumanly about the head and neck,
that he lingered until yesterday, when he died; the
Coroner's Inquest is to be holden on him to-mor-
row=and tho Ugh he said enough to attach suspicion,
yet he did not speak sufficiently clear to authorise
the apprehension of any person.

. Last night's Gazette contains a notice to the Cap-
tors, of Martinico, St. Lucia, and Guaaoupe, iu
the year 170., that a tburth and final distribution
will commence to be made to the Land Forces on
the Bth of December. The sum to be dividqd for
the Army is-9061. 15s. sd. leaving 'a pioportibn for
the Navy of 7011. 4s. lid. The share of the Com-
mander in Chief amounts to e 591. 124 ; that of
the Private to 60, f-34d;

MIDDLESEX ELECTION.

a - Tnondat the scene has been considerably enliven.-
' eel within these two days, by the intrcduction of Sir
i F. Buitomer's colours, and though the shouts of
ißurdett for ever," from the ladies and children on
;the road, begin once more to salute the ear, nothing
_like the bustle or noise generally attendant on a po-
-1 Inger Election has hitherto manifested itself. One
exhibition yesterday, however, attva&ed, both on
the road and at the hustings, a considerable degree
of interest. It was the appearance of an elderly
Gentleman, placed in a chair ornamented with laurel,
and with. the insignia, of Sir F. Burdett, drawn along
by eight men, and surrounded by about fifty others.
Ou,his arrival at the hustings, the old Gentleman
alighted from his seat, and gave a Plumper in favour
of Sir F. BURDETT, informipg Sir F. at tliesame
' ' time that he had. been drawn the whole way frpm
Strathgate to the hustings, by eight of his neigh-
boqrs, lbr the purpose of giving him a Plumper.
Mr ' ;Wettest asked the alt Gentleman if he did
fpot recolle& him ? but the other, putting his pipe
in his mouth, marched off without condescending
an answer, remounted his chair, and was carried in
triumph round the hustings by his friends.
At the close of the Poll'at three o'clock the natal-
hers were— _
Far Ntr. MELL isa - _., , - 2401
Mr. BYNG - - .. - - Int
. Sir F. BURDETT . - ,_!. 496
Mr. BYNG made his bow amidst the hissing!; and
hootings of the populace.
Sir FRANCIS BURDETT.-"-" GrentleTllCl), I cannot
but consider the poll of to-day as rather encouraging
to my, hopes and . the independent interest of this
county. Gentlemen, I shall beg leave, before I do-"
part, 'to make one or two observations to you, whitak
will, It hink, be well .wort hay the .consideration 6
the Freeholders of Middlesex, before the poll closes,
or their consideration may perhaps come too late.
Gentlemen, I 'do not at all regret, though it cer-
tainly render's me liable to, some sort of disad-
vantages, the plain and open, way in which I have
thought fit to state to you the grounds on which I
offer myself to your notice; the principles on which
a.l intend to a&, and therefore the expectations you
would be entitled to form of my condea if I should
again meet with your support. Gentlemen, it is well
worth the consideration of the Freeholders of Middle,
sex to ex mine the sentiments which have been ex.
pressed by the Candidates of other places engaged
in a popular Election, because they will see how
different a tone-is taken by those persons as sepia as
they have ceased to be Candidates, and have obe
tained the situation they sought for. I only need
to mention one instance in the Borough of Southe
wark. I would dire& your attention to lhe senti- ;
ments of Mr. Thornton towards the Ele&ors of the
-Borough immediately after he had secured his seat.
You wtll then find, that he takes the first epportue
nay of telling the Eleaors of the great, the mono
strous sacrifices they are to make ; sacrifices which
he never found out, or even hinted at, previous to
the day of his ele&ion. In another great county, X
mean the county of York, you find that Mr. WO,-
-berforce adopts the same trick ; and as soon as his
seat is aecured, the first thing he talks of is the error-
mous sacrifices the people -are called pas to; make.
This is indeed glorious language, and to be eape&ed
from the quarter whence it conies ; but I think it
would have been as well if the Gentlemen I have
alluded to had thrown out their , sentiments ou,
this subjea for the consideration of the EleCtors
previeus to their obtaining their return, iNtasia,_
Gentlemen, as to sacrifices—Are all the sacrifices,
lhet have hitherto been made to count to, nothing ?.
Have we not been making sacrifice upon sacrifice ?
And would it not have been important to have.
i shewn,what was likely ,to have been the result et:-
, ihose, we *have 'made, and to have held out some
hope for the future, iome benefit to be derived frorra
those uaheard-of sacrifices which they say the
people are still to be called upon to make ? Gent
. tlemen, itseems that these men are engaged in supe
porting that system which . has for -its übjea to die
vide theecountry into two separate and disti&
parties, forming one portion into paupers, and,
another into .tax-gatherers. It would seem as if
'a systeth had been planned for the erection. of
poor-hoeses for the industrious, and palaces for
tax-gatherers ; and as if a sa stern of that kind
had not already caused 'sufficient. sacrifices.--..
'There is another Right Hon. Gentleman. wham X
have freainently had occasion to allude to—l meata
the Right Hon. Manager and Treasurer.---He talks,
and pleasantly too, of the sacrifices the people are to
make;—that Geptlerpan, who has sacrificed nothing
that I know of- but the consistency of his public
charaaer, and who, 'While you are making sacrifices,
is putting thousands a year into his pockets;—hg,
r say; may speak with great composure of the sa-
crifices other men make for his emolument. Bet that
Gentlernan (Mr. Sheridan) is as unfortunate in this as
I in his other attempts to acquire popular applause, by
arts which riot any man but himself would descend
to. It never happens that he is &eat° a'ivanca.any
! claim to the support of the Elettors of Westminster,
without putting forth his own charades to the diaade
vantage of that of his friends. It was but lately lie
I .put forth hs claim to public favour as being the
I only person who on a great and constitutional (sues.:
: , L
Lion gave mehis support. If that is the case, what.
has become of the claims of the rest of the Patriots
with whom he aaed ? What ! 'are his claims only
. founded on their demerits ? Gentlemen, on a re-
cent occasion we saw him stating that the Magi-
stracy of this County had been solicited by numbers
to prostitute their authority in order to revenge some
condua of .a Publican during the BleCtion for West-
ininster.—ls it.not too much that he should pique
himself on a generosity of concha& which is found-
ed on the culpable neglect of -others? tfrat be
should presume to say 'that it is ()wino' to his inter-
ference that the Magistracy have not resorted to the
means of punishing a violation of the pubfic peace?
—ls it for him, a Placeman, standing forward anal
exerting himself at an
.Election, to claim ap-
plause and approbation upon this ground ?—lt
is very unfortunate that the merits and virtues ofMr.
Sheridan cannot be exhibited to the public except to
'the disadvantage of his friends. His representations
of hiMself and his 'virtues—his anions disproving
them—can only be compared to base gilt twopenny
pieces by the side of the sterling one. I could hope
on many accounts,' that, at a time like this, the
Gentleman near me would be kind enough to fa-
No1;11- you with some opinions of his on Public men
and public transactions. If he does net do act, You'

miy find yonmeives in the predicament of the Elec.
tors (if Southw,rk or York, and elea a Candidate
wilo may entermin sentiments you are not aware of;
and it aivare you would not approve. Gentle-
men, with respect to the general state of the-Coutt
try, and with respect to that coalition df parties,
concerning which I have incurred so much opposi---
tion by doing so much to oppose, it appearS to me
the Nation is in that unfortunate situation presented
to your view in the New Testament, where it is
said, that a man, who had long suffered by being
possessed of a Devil, had the 'good fortune to be
r reliee7l, but was presently. tormented by a whole
• legion of Devils. So this 'suffeting Nation had the
dood':fortUne to be relieved fdr a time of the Minis-
- try of Lord Grenville. P,tit, alas! Lord Grenville
has again possessed it, and has brought back with
him Many even 'worse than himself. Gentlemen, I
shall take my leave of you this day with returning
my thanks to those. Freeholders who have come
forward so nobly` to-support me, and I assure them,
It shall not be owing to any fault of mine if the in-
dependent interest of the County has not, fair scope
'and, time for exercising its powers."----(.4p/airses).
Mr. HELLISH.—" Gentlemen Freeholders,'l Shall
',begin by returning you my thanks for the additional
'honour you have done me this clay. I have little
more tol say,- and I hope you will hear me. It is
strange that the Hon. Baronet could not make his
speech and thank you for the henour you had done
him, without referring you, as I told you he would,
'to the Poll.".
