FINSBURY ELECTION.

(From our Second Edition of last night).
Mr. BABBAGE continued—After sixteen years spent
in designing a machine for the benefit of the navy, he
had not received a single shilling, or even thanks.
(Cheers.) He thanked the electors for hearing him
so patiently, and felt no doubt that he would be the
member for the Borough on Tuesday next.
Mr. DUNCOMBE then addressed the electors. He
stood there as the friend and supporter of civil and
religious liberty. In supporting the Reform Bill, he
never considered it a final measure. He voted against
the clause for the division of counties. If he was re-
turned, he should endeavour to get that obnoxious
clause excluded from the Reform Bill, which made it
imperative upon every person to pay all the taxes be-
fore he was entitled to a vote. He was favourable to
the Dissenters, and thought it the height of injustice
that persons of one persuasion should pay for the sup-
port of another. ( Cheers.) He had been accused
with being a government candidate. All that he had
to say to that charge was, that he had nothing to do
with the government, and was in no way connected
with it. He had been asked why he supported Sir J.
Hobhouse ? He did so because, although he thought
him mistaken, yet he believed him honest. (Great
confusion.) If he should be returned, and he did not
fulfil all he had promised, if he was called upon, he
would instantly resign the trust that had been reposed
in him. (Cheers.)
Mr. WAKLEY came forward amid great cheering,
which lasted several minutes. One of the candidates,
in his opinion, stood in a most disgraceful situation,
for could it be believed that it were necessary after he
had been three several sessions in Parliament, to go
through all his Parliamentary life in order to induce
the electors to elect "him. ( Great confusion.) He de-
tested Tories, but every man had a right to obtain the
suffrages of the electors if he could. As he was a
little bit of phrenologist, he had surveyed Mr. Pow-
nall's head, and he was sure that he was an honest and
conscientious man. Of Mr. Babbage, if he was so
great and learned a man as he was stated to be; it was
a pity that he was not occupying the chair at Cam-.
bridge. Mr. Duncombe had come like a rat-catcher
with the ticket upon his back—he came there stating'
that he was the late member for Hertford. He did
not know upon what principles he came there, without
it was as a Whig. The government did not much like
him ( Mr. W. ), because he was the poor man's friend, and
they had done all they could to keep him out of Par-
liament, but he would promise them he would be there,
and that very shortly too. ( Laughter.) Mr. Dun-
combe was a great nominee, ant' was, of course, sup-
ported by the truckling government press. What
would the meeting think of a letter that was written
by Lord Althorp to Lord Brougham, stating that
there was to be a meeting for the purpose of consider-
ing whether government should declare itself hostile
to the Times, or endeavour to make friends: That
letter was sent to the Times, under the signature of
Veritas. That letter was dated on the 19th of June,
hence the commencement of the present contest.
(Great cheering.) What had' Mr. Duncombe done
when in Parliament—had he endeavoured to lessen the
pension list ? No. He had no doubt what the result
of the election would be, but had Mr. Babbage given
up, he should not have been so certain of it. He was

' tire that should be elected, and if he 'aft', the
! lectors would always find him do lis du v and show
cowluct inyarlia Lent. ( Great
cheering.)
Mr. DuNcomaP., in explanation, said, that he lad
been instrumental in removing several pensions from
the pension-list when he was in Parliament.
The Returning Officer then took the show of
hands, which he declared to be in favour of Thomas
Wakley, Esq., amid great and long continued cheering.
A poll was then demanded in behalf of Mr.' Dun-
combe, Mr. Pownall, and -Mr. Babbage, which was
ordered to be taken on Monday and Tuesday next.
We cannot close our report without stating that the
greatest credit was due to the persons who had the
' superintendence of the arrangement. The erection.
of the hustings reflected the greatest credit upon Mr.
Suckling.
