puted to him. Althongh a commoner, without al-
liances of party or family, he had taken on himself,
almost singly, in the House of Commons, to uct
upon the opinions which he conscientiously enter-
tained. The situation in which the ciretori of Mid-

his efforts. He ttusted that the electors would have
no cause to regret that those who. knew him best
had called upon them to give him .his suffrages as
the representative of their rights. There were two
(lasses of duties Which he considered himself bound
to perform es the representative of the county of
Middlesex. It was his duty to watch over the
local interests of this great county. Those who.had
observed the manner m which he had sanded to
private business timing the last 12years would readily
believe that he could give perfect satisfaction on this
point. County members were frequently solicited to
procure favours from Government for indtviduals.

no freeholder would on a future occasion accuse him of

county be would feel honoured by receiving sug-
gestions from freeholders. He thought it necessary
to be thus explicit upon his first acquaintance with
the freeholders of Middlesex. There was another

Mr. HOMIOLISE, who was on the hustings, being
recognised by the people, came forward and con.
gnat:hued them upon the triumph which they had
obtained. Ile then alluded to the late events in
Fiance, and said that the heroic exertions of the
French people rendered them worthy of obtaining
whit we had struggled to obtain at our Revolution,
namely, a free Press and free Parliament. The hate-
, fol tyrant of France had attempted to put down
the Press tend the Parliament.—(Cheers, and "No

Colonel JONES expressed a hope that Mr. Byng
,vou!d not again vote- in support of select vestries.
Although he approved of the lion. Member's con.
duct generally, he thought he had lent himself to
some county jobs in order to make:himself popular.
Mr. BYNG said a few words, but the noise was
too great to allow of their being heard.
A gentleman on the hustings proposed three
cheers for the French people. They were given
with enthusiasm, accompanied with cries of " No
more Bourbons."

On the motion of Lord Wks. RUSSELL, thanks
were voted to the Sheriffs.

Sir W. RICIIARDSON acknowledeed the honour,
and proposed three cheers for the King and Queen,
which were given with hearty good will,
The Members were then chaired through the
town amidst the shouts of the people.
