place, a Utile way out of the town, the Candidates

Mr. BACON first stepped forward to address
the assembled multitude ; he sated that, it :was
with pleasure he appeared before them for the
sixth • time to proe,ose a Candidate for their
votes, who deserved' their confidence, and he
was happy in the anticipation of unanimity on the.
,
present occasion. The Gentleman he was about to
propose, was known to them all by his. steady,
manly, and independent conduct in Parliament.—
Ile had never been guilty of any dereliction froM
the duty which he ov:ed to his constituents, and
his public. principles were Marked by a due respect
to their rightse,,,QN It...sincere attachment to that
glorious constlintion under wllich they had the

Applause)
.Sir W. Gthrmees advanced toepropose the name
Of a tried and faithful servant, Mr. W. :L.C.ELLISII.
They had, dune that Gentleman the •high honour
of electing him their-Representative in the two
lest Parliaments, and he confidently trusted that
they had not found him deficient in any of the
deities-attached to thOmportant trust which they
had reposed in him: He had supported thoSe
inea.sures wilieh had r,ised this country, to the
highest pitch of glory, and enabled the Marquis
ref Wellington successfully to resist and over-,
come the armies of the Corsican Despot, who-had
vainly bOasted that he would drive the English
into the sea, but whoeinstead of doing that, had
had the mortification to see his myrmidons drivtm
front Seviiie, Shtlanoo,litei Madrid. had
been particularly a.ttentke ,gill times to the buL
sinless' the ea v, and on these. -gonads he
would propOse Mr. MELLISU for one of their
presentatives.• .
Mr. IRWIN seceeided the proposition with which
the last Speaker concluded, eulogised the general
'conduct of Mr. Mellish,' and ova's confident that
there was not on either side of, the HOuSe a more
honest and independent MeMber, one who more
conscientiously discharged his duty, or who was
more free from bribery and corruption.
No other Candidate being named; the Sheriffs
now proceeded to take the sense of 'the Electors
by a show of hands; On the names of Mr.Bvng
and Mr. Mellish. The numbers were considerable
for each, 'and both were delared duly elected.
Mr. BING returned thanks for the very kind and
frittering reception with' which he had that day
been honoured, and_ for the confidence they re-
posed in hirn,-in electing him their Representative
for the sixth time. If he had notscrved them with
all the ability he could wish, he had served them•
with zeal and. fidelity, and in the course of 22
years,.during which period he had represented
them in five Parliaments, he had never in .one sin-
gle.irstance deviated from those pridcipleS"Whi‘ch
he had first avowed, and which lead .first -rechm-
mended him to the EleCtors of Middlesex. .Such
as lie had been he continued to be. 'The duties
with which he had been charged he ,had regarded
as ve,delegated trust to be held "fir the Wile&
of the people, and not given foe 'his' own personal
advantage: 'Those Who accepted such a trust ;to
betray it;wqcein his opinion, more crimionl, than
many of the malefactors xvlto s'uticied daily in the
metropolis: He had never 'given a' vote against
Ministers from any pers•onai feeling, but because
he had conscientiously felt it to be his duty to op-
pose that-wasteful and !disgraceful System which
They bad established: He was friendly to reform,
an.eriethyte) abuse, and an advocate for the abo-
lition-of useless sinecure places ; and would , al-
ways vote in favour of that necessary measine; a
Parliamentary Reform.... = -
Mreigewsncame, forward,: but could plot ad-
AresS the Meeting to be heard for -Some time,
through the tumult which prevailed, if 'they
would hear him (ho said), he would speak. The
poise having partly subsided, he declared that
every vote he had given,. whether for Or against
Ministers, he had given from , a conscientious
feeling of duty. To the beSt of his ability he'
Bad faithfully represented them in 'Parliament,
and he appealed to - them all if lie had not paid
the greatest_attention to the immediate business
of the county. He then retired, amidst shouts "of
approbation, mingled with a few groans, ,and
hisses, from a few low persons who had fre-
queintly interrupted him while speaking.
The new Members were immediately chaired
through the town. A part of the rabble-threw
mud several times at Mr. Mellish, and afterwards
took the horses froth Mr, Byng's carriage, and
• very properly put themselves in their places... ~
