Ingilby. The promjse was made to Lord Yarborough, and
not to Sir William Ingilby.
Sir We Lt.tAst Irrott.lw here said, that be felt called upon,
in vindication of his own honour, to state, that Sir J. Theretd's
proMise to vote for him was made, not to or through Lord War-
borough, but distinctly to hint (Sir %William Ingilhy) himself.
Ile would produce the letter to-merrow.—Wheers.)
The Rev. Sir C. ANDEDSON said, the words of the letter
were, " I shall be happy to give you my vote." If he were
wrong in this, the letter when produced would correct him.—
(Cheers.)
Colonel Jointsow said, that he would admit .that he de-
served to fall under the displeasure of the meeting if be had
asserted any thing which he could not prove. lie was satisfied
that he had not stated what could not he proved.
C; ANDERSON observed, that it was an allusion to that
letter of Sir John Thereid, that be had stated on a former day,
that Sir William Ingilby had not only the sanction of the ma-
jority of the freeholders, but the support of Sir John Thomld
himself.
The meeting now adjourned.
FOCI ItT II DAY.

•lnrccnew, Saturday night„.Nov. 29.
The result of this day's poll has, we think, put the issue of
the contest past all doubt. At an early hour the friends of Sir
Wm. Ingilby began to pour into the town in hundreds, while
of the opposite party there was only an odd straggler arriving
at distant intervals. Still, however, the Blues keep up their
spirits, and talk with seeming confidence of ultimate success.
They rely upon the great number of freeholders yet unpolled,
of whom they say there are about 12000. If this be true, there
is of course a means of reducing the present majority ; but
from all we can learn here, the numbers of unpolled voters in
the interest of Sir Wm. Ingilby are quite sufficient to keep
him at the head of the poll. One thing seems certain, that the
supporters of Sir John Thorold will keep the poll open as long
as they can get a freeholder to bring to it. How long this may
be, is yet quite uncertain.. The leaders of each party still con-
tinue to conduct their proceeding with the utmost good temper
towards their opponents. On this good feeling one towards
another, they do not, however, seem to think that election
squibs, however severe, are any violation. They therefore con-
tinue at each side to send them forth daily. There was one
came out this morning, in which the sacred writings of the
Evangelist are brought to bear upon one of the candidates;
This use (or abuse) of the Scriptures arose out of the numbers
of Sir Wm. Ingilby's majority on yesterday's poll—they were
666. It was observed by a gentleman on the hustings at the
time, that that was the exact number of beasts' in the Reve-
lations of St. John. The hint was taken, and in the course of
this morning the following hand-bill was circulated by the
friends of the Thorold party.
" MAJORITY FOR SIR WILLIAM INGILDY-SIX HUNDRED
TUREESCORE AND SIX.
Revelations, chap. xiii., and from the Ist, 2d, 3d, 4th, sth,
9th, 13th, 14th, 16th, 17th, and 18th verses :
" 1. And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast
rise up.
" 2. ------ and the dragon gave him his power, and his
seat, and his authority.
" 3. And all the world wondered after the beast.
" 4. and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who
is like unto the beast ? who is able to make war with him ?
"6. And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great
things—
" 9. If any man have an ear, let hint hear.
66 13.
" 14. And *cavern them that dwell on the earth.
" 16. And he caused) all, both small and great, rich and
poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in' their right hand or
in their foreheads.
" 17. And that no man might buy or tell save he that had
the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
" 18. Here is wisdom. Let him that bath understanding
count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man,
and his number six hundred, threescore and six.
" Here ended' the chapter."
A-propos of the numbers. It was remarked as a curious co-
incidence, that Sir William closed yesterday with a majority
bl" Glib. At tsee o'clock, the state ot the poll up to that hour
was published, Sir Win. Ingifbretriajorhyted then-risen to
999, making a majority on the day's poll of 333. The friends
of Sir NVrn. Ingilby were not backward in also resorting to the
press for the purpose of giving their opponents a little annoy.
once. In the course of the day they published a long article,
addressed "To Sir Robert Heron and Co." The length of the
article prevents our giving more than an outline of Its contents.
it was heeded, " donsum ,roturee, 'omit Hesperus, lie ea..
hence." It then began " After all the pranks and capers you
ave cut upon the Lincoln stage, it is high time, in humble-
imitation of the black goat of Huntingdon' that you should re-
tire from scenes and actions which would ti—n any cause and
d—n tiny actors." The placard then goes on to attack the con-
duct of the 'party in the interest of Sir John Thorold, accusing
them of making hint a puppet for their own purposes, and con-
cludes thus :—.."The object you have in view, Gentlemen, is
but too obvious, viz, to put to an enormous expellee an honest,
manly, and open-hearted Baronet, the only extensible candidate
for the honour he now solicits. Such improper conduct will,
I trust, have the effect of rousing not only the strenuous exer-
tions of true end independent Whigs, but also of every honest
Tory—of which latter description I-profess myself to be." The
placard was without signature.
The pail was continued open today till half past four
o'clock for the accommodation of several freeholders whit had
no other business in town but to give their votes.
At four o'clock a considerable number of persons assembled
in front of the hustings, and called loudly for the closing of the
poll

Sir Wit. INOILBY soon after made his appearance in front,
accompanied by several of his friends. From this time to the
declaration of the poll, a considerable delay occurred, during
which some of the crowd endeavoured to amuse each other at
Hon. Baronet's expence by every kind of coarse joke. Sir
William took their humour in very good part; talked to some,
and retorted upon others whose remarks he could hear. There
was one fellow, who,more than all his surrounding companions,
distinguished himself by his perseverence in attacking " the
Yorkiddreman," as he culled Sir William. Upon this fellow
Sir William fixed his attention ; and after retorting upon him
some of his own slang, at length pressed him very hard far a
song, to amuse his associates till the arrival of the Sheriff: The
hesitation of the fellow to answer this appeal to his " powers of
pleasing," completely turned the laugh of the crowd against
him and Sir William was troubled with him no more for the
evening.
It was nearly quite dark when the state of the poll was an.
nounced. The numbers were—
On the Day's Poll.
For Sir William Ingllby -
For Sir John Thorold .
Majority -
Gross Poll.
For Sir William Ingilby - 2,118
For Sir John Tliorold 901
Majority . —1,187
The. state of the poll was received with the usual loud cheer-
lug by Sir Win. Ingliby*si friends, and with some disapproba.
tion by the opposite party. As noon as silence was restored,
Sir Wat. IN OILAY addressed the freeholders, 'and expressed
his warm thanks for the very distinguished situation which
they had placed him on the poll. It had been threatened at
the commencenient of the contest, that the hundreds of the op.
polite party would soon be swelled to thousands.—(A voice in
the crowd And so it will be done yet.") Sir William con.
tinued—Would it ? He would tell them, it would not, and
could not be done ; for when the great body of the freeholders
of Lincolnshire were called together, they knew well how to
discharge their ditty, and not suffer themselves to be carried
away by noise or clamour.--(Applause and hisses.)—lf the
hundreds were to betsiised by thousands, the freeholders would
have an opportunity of witnessing the fact. They had 'talked
of shewing the white feather. He would assure them that they
should never see it at his side. lie again thanked them for
their distinguished support.—(Applause.)
ColonelJotiNSoi4 next came forward, and was received with
miugled.shouts of applause and blues. lie began by assuring
the Hon. Baronet that he had' never held out any threat con-
nected with this contest. He acted on this occasion openly and
fairly in the discharge of what he considered to be his duty,
He had proposed Sir John Thorold in, order to give every free-
holder au opportunity of exercising his right of voting in that
way which lie Might' consider most consistent with his con.
scieritions feelinla-411cre the Honourable Gentleman was in.
terrupted by the clamour' of one party and the shouts of
the other—to restore order. When it was restored, he con-
tinucci]-4it would now entreat of them all to follow the
of the llonourable Baronet (Sir William Ingilby),
and keep their temper.—,(Cheers.)—For his own part, he
never did quarrel with any man for his political opinions,

however different they might be from his own, and so he ho
would continue to act.—(Applause.)—ln the part which he
took on the present occasion he d4elaimed any connexion
with any party, and he could ,assure. the meeting that up to
the very moment when he proposed Sir John Thorold on
Tuesday, his friends were in doubt who should second
He stated to the freeholders on that day, that the cause-wan in,
their -hands, and by the nature of their support it must *4A;
or fall. The poll mull not now be closed until there were D
more freeholders willing to come forward. They had still
opportunity of so doing : all he could clot a would. wadi
stand by to the last to see fair play.. Ile might recall the word„;
for he believed in his heart there wits no necessity for any third
party to trouble himself on that head, for there could not be a
more honourable and impartial man than. their worthy High
Sheriff. He had attended in the room where he presided, to
decide any objections that might arise to votes in the course of
the proceedings, and no man could conduct himself with mote
justice and impartiality than he had done throughout.-.(Apo
plause.)—He again reconthi ended to the freeholders not to allo
their ditierenees of opinion.On thin occasion to destroy that pace
and good understanding which had hitherto subsisted between them. Lathe friends of Sir John Thorold still exert themselves,
and bring their friends tothepoll..Thoe,were still nnpolledionto
than sufficient to beat down the present majority, whichhe would
admit was very considerable. But let them recollect, that not
one fourth of the freeholders had yet polled. If the flon..lta:
roues (Sir Win. Ingilby) could see the letters which he (Colonel
Johnson) bud received from verious parts of the county, pre:
musing support in the present contest, he would be surprised.
The cause was in their own hand, and let them decide it. This,
however, he would say—that if the majority on this day week
should be twice as great as at present, he gave them his word.
that it would not ruffle ii single feeling of his heart.—(Cheers.)
Colonel SIIITHOUPE next came forward end said,ll that the
feelings due from man to man obliged him to declare it most
desirable, that a contest such as the present should be brought
to a close as soon us possible. As to himself he was quite neu, ter on this occasion, but he left his tenants to be canvassed by
either party.
The election was then declared adjourned to .'Monday morn,
ing at nine o'clock.
