GENERAL ELECTION.

ESSEX.—TENTH DAY.
CHELMSFORD, Tuirsnmr.
At the close of the poll, ut five o'clock, the
numbers 'were—

Day's Poll. Gross Poll.
Tyrell
Western
Wellesley

As soon as the poll was announced—
Mr. WESTERN attempted to address the meet-
ing; but the noise and tumult were too great to
allow him to be beard, and he retired.
Colonel TYREE!. next came forward, and said he
once more appeared before the freeholders, to tender
thorn his thanks for their continued support. He
regretted that he had nothing but his gratitude to
offer for their exertions.

Air. WELLESLEY also had to thank the freeholders
for their exertions in placing him in his present situa-
tion on the poll. The Under-Sheriff had made a
slight mistake in his arithmetic on Saturday, and
placed him eleven lower than he had a right to be;
hut the mistake had since been corrected; besides
which, he was creepirrg up. He was advancing like
the tortoise, and would, beat the hare ut last.
Mr. LOWNDES came forward, and said he had
come that day without any solicitation of Mr. Wel-
lesley to support him, in consequence of what Mr.
Quintin Dick had said of his family. That family
was most illustrious for the services it had rendered
to the country —(Cheeri.)7--He believed that the
Duke of Wellington was the saviour of the country,
and that but for his great achievements, .we ahoUld
now be a province of Vrance.----(A voice, " For
whom did you vote ?")—He had given a plumper
for Wellesley, because he (Wellesley) had given a
plumper for Mr. Qaintin Dick, which he should not
forget as long us he lived. Na other frieholdernow
presenting himvlf, the Under-Sheriff declared the
Court adjourned till to-morrow at ten. But just at
that moment—

Mr. Wgl.l.llsLicr again addressed the meeting,
and begged to thank Mr. Lowndes for his vote.
Sir H. sstrrn here presented himself, and was
well received by the meeting. He had opposed
Mr. Briunston because he was in favour of the Ca-
tholics, and he supported Mr. Conyers because he
was opposed to them; and he supported Colonel
Tyrell because he also waii: opposed to them. The
Hon. Baronet then ws nt on to contend that the
sneers of Mr. Harvey and others against colonel
Tyrell were :unwarranted; that Colonel Tyrell was
a man of talent—((sheers, hisses, and liughter)—
and was the best speaker of the three.—(The same
kind of interruption renewed.)
Colonel TYnnu, beg►ged to say a few words more.
In election, as in war, every stratagem' was fair
(Mr; Wellesley expressed his dissent from this)—.
and his hon. opponent availed himself of as many as
he could. One day hi sugared him, another day
he gave him u sedative, and another he gave hint
a little soft soap, and then he opened his lower
deckers of personal invective. against him. The
Hon, Gentleman, after observing that the subscrip.
titin box was in good repair, proceeded to defend
the fairness of a subscription in a-contest like this,
against an opponent of whom it was boasted that a
fleet horse could not in a day get from one end to
the other of his estates.

At the • close of this speech, Mr. WELLESLEY
begged to ask Sir H. Smyth for whom he intended
to give his second vote.
Sir H. Saturn---.I have voted for Mr. Tyrell and
Mr. Western.--( Hisses and cries of" No coalition.")
'I: voted for Colonel Tyrell heeause I Concur with
him, and I voted for Mr. Western to keep you out.
-,--(Cheers and hisses.)
WELLESLEY, in addressing himself again to
the meeting-, adverted to what be called the inca-
pacity of the Hon.. and' Gallant Colonel to sit us a
representative for Essex., ,The Gallant Caton.' hid
himself given them a specimen of it the other
evening, when he talked first of his legitimtti rights
to sit for the county, and then said he meant legiti•
mate pretensions, than which no two things could
IWmore different. When the Hon. Colonel talked
of history and of 'his faMily 'in- former :times, he
shoWed that he was as ignorant of history, he would
not say as his son who stood near hirr4 but as 'his
son of eight years old. He meant net • this at per-
sonal invective, but as fair ground of objectipn. to
colonel Tyrell's pretensions.
Colonel TYCI:f.I, denied the truth of the allegation.
He did think it personal invective, and he should
take it so.--(Cheers and hisses.).
.Mr. WELLustitv—yery well ; .if you do you
know where to timid me.—(Cheers.)—Mr. Wellesley
then proceededio contend, that as a public man he
had a right to make the attack upon any Wily who
was his rival for the twiny, and to pull. him to
pieces it he conld;' but he spoke Of ,him only as a
piddle man. NO.:doubt the Gallant Colonel might
be thought a man of talent in his own eircle,—no
&minim was a worthy and an exCellent man.
.Colonel Tram., observed, that as the
Gentleman said he did not mesa to insult hiM, he
had 'no 'Wish to say a word More On the -subject..
Neither by believed had the. Hon. Oetitleman,, but if
he had, ho.knew that he was to bi heard of at
iorelium-bouse.—(Cheers.)
Mr. Wellesley end his friends then left the booth,
hut the crowd- remained for a shout time longer, to
hear the address of a Freeholder, who seemed to
arritioe them by his harangue in favour of Mr.
