GENERAL ELECTION.

ESSEX.—SEVENTII DAY.
CHELMSFORD, FRIDAY NIGHT.
At five o'clock, the close of the poll, the numbers
stood thus--.

Day's Poll. Gross Poll.
Tyrell
Western
Wellesley
The announcement of even this small ma-
jority 011 the day's poll in favour of the popular can-
didate was received with the loudest cheers.
Mr. WriTellei then came forward, but the im-
patience of the meeting would not allow him a
hearing. lie had only to return his grateful thanks
for the exertions of his friends, and his hope that
they might be continued.
Colonel TvltFll. said, his Hon. opponent (Mr.
Wellesley) luid told them that he would keep the
poll open to the last, and as long as there was a
prospect of success he was perfectly right. But
from what he knew of the lion, Gentleman, he Was
sure that he would not keep it open from any prin-
ciple of vexatious opposition.
Mr. WELLESLEY next addressed the meeting, and
was loudly cheered. He was determined to keep
open the poll, so as to give every freeholder in the
eounty an opportunity of voting. There was yet in
the county 2,000 implied voters. Now, taking it
granted that there were 1,500 of these unobjec-
tionable votes, he would say that he had solemn
promises of 800, and he would give every one of
those who promised an opportunity of fulfilling it.---
(Cheers.)—But even if his prospects were not so
good, he would be perfectly justifiable in going on
after the unjust and unnatural coalition which had
been made against him.—(Cheers.)—As a proof,
he need only call the attention of the freeholders to
the state of the poll up to yesterday evening. There
were for him, 1,213 plumpers; while for Mr. Tyrell
there were only 784; and for Mr. Western, but
395. On this, lie contended, that he was virtually
the representative for Essex—(Cheers)—and mem-
ber for Essex he would sit.—(Cheers.)
Mr. QUINTIN Dim in reply to the many allu-
sions made by Mr. Wellesley to him, would say,
that Mr. Wellesley's family received between them
from the public 50,0004 a year, while his (Mr.
Dick's) family did not receive a sixpence of the
public money.—(Cheers and hisses.)
Mr. WELLESLEY, in reply, said, that if his fa-
mily received that sum, it was in requital for ser-
vices performed for te public. Could Mr. Dick
say as much for his family ? His (Mr. Disk's) fu-
nnily bad made the fortunes of Mr. Dick and his
brother by jobbing on the money given for the en-
couragement of the linen trade in Ireland.—
(Cheers.) He would not have condescended to
notice any thing which came from Mr. Quimin Dick
but for his alluding sneeringly to his (Mr. Welles-
leyle) family, and no man should do that with im-
punity.e--(Cheers.)
Mr. D. W. Ilskvsx deprecated any altercation
about ancestry and funnily descent. The Hon.
Gentleman then observed, that Mr. Western leol
declined ,upporting Mr. Wellesley, because he was
of the Castlereagh school of politics, Now he had
in his hand a letter from Mr. Home, Who by his in-
dustry and perseverance,—his regard for real eco-
nomy,--had made himself one of the most influen li
-
tial Members of the House of Commons in which

to ten o'clock to-morrow.
