. ,
Tw3 attendance at Brentford on Saturday was as
numerous as usual ; and with the exception of some
intruding orators on the hustings, who were called
to order by the. Sheriff, the. day passed without any
Occurrence worthrof notice... •
'At four o'clock the Poll closed, and the numbers
appeared as follow :

For GEORGE BYNG, Esq. 2445
WILLIAM MAINWAR ING, ESCI. 2093
Sir FRANCIS BURD ET T, Barr. 1,54

A letter. from Nottingham, received on Saturday,
says, •" Mr. PARER COKE -has been obliged to
Withdraw hinfSelf from the Poll at Nottingham, and
to take tke chance ofobtaining his Seat in Parlia-
ment.by a Petition to the House of Commons,-=
Such have been the unrestrained proceedings of a-
most ferocious Mob, that the grossest insults were
offered to almost every Elelor who voted in his
interest ;, and the lives of so iwaiy have been endan-
gered by
,dutrages committed upon their persons,
after the exercise of their franchise, that even his
most" intimate and attached friends withheld their
support, and the freedonvof Eledion was violated,
by the diffusion of a Terror unprecedented in a
country where the Magistrates are armed with the
authority of the T.,aw. to itv the peace.
_.66 The Gentleman opposed- t 6 Mr. COKE, and
who is the Candidate returned by the Sheriffs, is a
commercial man out of Lancashire, of the name of
BitcH, one of the unsuccessful Candidates for
Liverpool, and is soppoed to have been either, Li-
rvited .or scut to Nottingham on account of his po-
litical tenets ; what they are we are at present stran-
gers to, but we happen to know that in the last five
Parliament's,' Mr. COKE has '4rlifornily manifested
a zealous attachment milli's King, and the Laws and
Constitution of his Country. Mr. Br R-cH, we un-
derstand, Made an animated harangue from the
HustingS to_the kleSo;:g and Mobility, immediately
on his ele6tion, and he contrived to make a happy
allusion to the coincidence of two circumstances
'favoorable to the apse of Liberty, happening on. the
,same day. '6 Thts,! said the Orator, f; is the
fourteenth of July, the glorious Anniversary of that
day on which the Castile in France was destroyed,
and this is the day which is to give Freedom to the
Town of Nottingham, whose Eletiors may. now
triumph' over Tyranny and Qppression."l:lo was
then placed in a chair, and carried 'round the
marketplace, .and through some of the principal
'streets, attended by an immense multitude, preceded
by a number of young women wantonly habited in
light I,v,liite dresses, intended to represent Virgins,
the °loured flag, the tree of Liberty, 'and a
band Of-'inusic playing the famous Jacobin tune of
Millions be free.
,• _
e sincerely hope Mc. CoKe's petition will
•
not only reinstate 'that' Gentleman in a Situation
which he has lon enjoyed with credit to himself
and advantage 'to 'the :Country, but that the
tigatica of the enormities committed on this occa-
sion may produce some Legislative regulations,
which :ray tend in future to the better securing the
freedom' of '&ieoiOn, by prote4ing the persons
of Electors at the time of giving their votes, and
also some regulations in the Poliee,of the ToWn
Nottingham." .

. ,
The Eleaion for the City of Coventry
closed on Saturda, when. Mr. JEFFSRYS and Cap-
tain BARLow were returned, :to the' exclusion of
Mr. BIRD and. Mr. Moolt E. The Poll lasted nine
days, from nine-in the morning till six in the eve));
ing, 'the polling being taken by tank's, a mode of
voting agreed upon between. the Candidates at the
commencement, -so that no judgment could, before
the eighth day, be formed as 'to the eventual' suc-
cess of either party, from the number on the poll.
When Mr. BIRD found he could no longer support
Mr. Maoitt, he solicited his second votes for Capt.
BmtLow, which placed him at the head of the
Poll-. About two- hours after the ,poll was closed,'
nearly thirty arrived' from London, and more were
on the road, in support of Mr. JErr ERYS and Cap_,
tain 'B.:km.ow. The City ofiCoventry is intoxi.;
cafe(' with joy ; and preparations are, making for
a very splendid Chairing, to take place in a few
• I
da.ts.
