WESTMINST ER ELECTION.

IiVE are, much to our astonishment, under the
necessity of giving an account of one more day's
"ntest (if contest it can be called) for this City.
At the close of the Poll yesterday, the returns
fjorn the several Parishes were cast up, when the
xligh Bailiff declared the numbers to be as follows :

For the Hon. C. J. Fox - 504
The Right Hon. Lord GARDNER - 401
JOHN GRAHAM, Esq. - 193
Mr. Fox, on this occasion, made a short address
t° the Assembly, but the noise mad vl.unour with.

out the Hustings *et* sti excessive, that we could
scarcely distihguith ont of his obsethations. He
principally adverted to the opposition which wag
persisted in by one of the Candidates, which he
seemed to censure in strong terms, on account of
the ill effects Which it must necessarily produce,
and which obviously could tend to no good pur-
pose, as every Spedator, and Eleflor,
,as well as
the Candidates must feel convinced how the Elec-
tion must terminate.

Lord GARDNER endeavoured to address the As-
sembly, but the noise and clamour increased to such
a degree, that not one, word of those few which
he did say was distinctly heard.
Mr. GRAHAM then spoke, and most unaccount.
ably, he was heard with•great attention. His ad_
dress was short, and wholly made up of com-
mon-place bombast.—The state of the Poll, on,
his part, was such, as must be gratifying to every
true lover of his Country—they must be aware of
the strong and hostile opposition he had to en-
counter ; every effort of power was diretled against
him, but he trusted the virtuous energies of his
friends and supporters, would enable him to over-
come his opponents. Upon their patriotism he re-
lied ; —the numbers in his favour were considerable;
by, their exertions he trusted he should poll four
times as many to-morrow.

At twelve o'clock this day the following was the
state of the Poll :
For the-Hon. CHARLES JAMES Fox _ 6z I
The Right Hon: Lord GARDNER - 51 8
JOHN GRAHAM, Esq.

SOUTHWARK ELECTION.—At the close of the
Poll yesterday the numbers were :
For Mr. THORNTON 1338
Mr. TIERNEY 1198
Sir T. TURTON tooB
In the course of the poll yesterday for the Borough
of Sowhwark, the votes of a great number of per-
sons who came for Sir THOMAS TURTON, were dis-
allowed, on the ground of their not paying the
Kit g's Taxes or Poor Rates. It appeared that Mr.
HEDGER, who -is one of Sir T. TURTON'S most
alive friends, brought forward these persons as the
tenants of houses belonging to him, or his friends.
They paid a fixed rent, and the Landlord compounded
with the Assessors and Parish Officers for the King's
Taxes and Poor Rates; a pranice frequently adopted,
and acquiesced in as a security to the Revenue
against fugitive householders. These are called
Farm Yates, and the Deputy Bailiff declared them
inadmissible..

COVENTRY.—The riotous appearance of this
place on Saturday last, has, in consequence of a re.
presentation from the Mayor to Mr. BIRD and Mr.
MOOR E, considerably'subsided. Mr. JEFFER vs had
certainly a narrow escape With his life, as the mob,
who went a Mile on the road to meet him, were in-
flamed by misrepresentations respeCting the House of
Industry, to a degree .highly dangerous; but by
skilfully entering the town at one end, while the
mob were looking for him at the other, he avoided
all molestation, to the great relief of his anxious
friends in this City. Immediately on his arrival he
was attended by the Mayor and Corporation, with
many very respeftable inhabitants, to thank him
for his spirited perseverance in their Cause. Of
his eleaion there is not a doubt. The violent
speeches of his opponents have disgusted many
persons formerly attached to Mr. BIRD, particu-
larly the Quakers.

Captain BARLOW, who has started for Coventry
in eonjunCtion with Mr. JEFFERYs, is a fine young
man, possessing a good Estate near York ; and the,
gallant manner in which, in the midst of the riot, he
started as a Candidate, at the moment that another
Gentleman then in the Town for the purpose, was
intimidated, has given great weight to his preten-
sions .with the great body of the Eleftors of Co-
ventry.

Several of the pickpockets apprehended on Mon-
day last near Lord's Cricket Ground, at the ascen.
sion of the Balloon, were yesterday examined at
Bow_street, before Sir R. FORD, when it appeared
that a gang of them had planted themselves in
Baker.st reel North, among the thickest of the crowd.
Immediately on the Balloon going up, they made a
great rush, and robbed several persons, some of
whom were knocked down, and very ill treated.—
A plrty of the Bow_street Patrole coming up at
the moment, secured three of them (one of whom was
seen to throw away two watches, but they were
picked up.) One of the Patrole was knocked down
in the scuffle, the Prisoners making a desperate re-
sistance.

William Wunn, a brass-founder in the neighbour-
hood of the Strand, identified one of the watches, and
the person of one of the Prisoners, who, he said, with
several others, hustled him in Baker-street North,
and robbed him of his watch ; that he seized the-Pri-
soner, upon which several others rescued him, knock-
ed him, the witness, clown, and were going to throw
him over a bridge, into some water,.w hen the patrole
came to his aid. The other watch was identified
by a young man of the name of Ward, who was
robbed on the same spot ; and who said, that he had
no doubt but the Prisoner, who was seen to throw
away the said watch, was the person who took it
out of his pocket. A third man was identified by, a
gentleman's servant, whose breeches-pocket he had
turned inside out ; though, fortunately, without
obtaining any thing; the servant having neither
watch nor money about him. He was, however,
committed to take his trial for the miscienteanor ;
and the two former Prisoners for the felonies.

Fifteen other suspicious persons were apprchend;:d
by different parties of the Patrole, among the mob,
and most of them being reputed thieves, were com-
mitted to prison. Several other pickpockets were
apprehended by the Constables of the different Police
Offices who attended on the occasion,

VIENNA, JUNE 20.—Several Regiments on the
Frontiers have received orders to form a Corps of
Observation to oppose the excesses committed by
PASSWAN OGLOU. The last Letters from Turkey,
state that the whole of that Empire is in a general
state of fermentation, It is not improbable that the
Provinces of Moldavia and Wallachia will be seized,
for the purpose of being thrown into the general
mass of Indemnities.

The only incident we have heard of to eTeite risi-
bility on the day of the last ascension of GARNE_
RI N's Balloon, was the order given by Wu:LAN
the farmer, to his men, to impound all the horsemen
they found trespassing on his fields. By them his
grass and inclosures sustained considerable injury.
The first thing the men did was to rail up all the
gates, and other avenues leading out of the fields ;
and they aanally impounded not only the horses but
the riders, to the amount of about sixty, affording
great amusement to the mob colleBed to see this ex-
traordinary levy carried into execution. The horse.
men were released, but the horses detained. On

Tuesday several Gentlemen appeared before the Ma_
gistrates at Hatton Garden, at thq,instance of Mr.
L L AN, farmer, on a charge of trespass committed,
in company of nearly Soo persons on horseback, be-
sides a great number on foot, his palings being
broke down : it appeared they had covered a large
field of grass, which was entirely destroyed, in con
sequence of their eagerness to see Mr. GARNER IN's
Balloon; but the complaint being more adapted to
another place, they gave their address at the office,
and departed.
The day that GARNER IN went oW last in the BaL
loon, a young woman, with an infant in her arms,
ascended (with several other persons), a ladder
reared against an unfinished house at the end of
Baker-street ; unfortunately a few minutes before
the ascension of the Balloon, a part of the brick-
work against which the ladder rested, give way
the fright had such an dna upon the woman, that
she dropped the infant, and in her frenzy to re-
cover it, jumped off the ladder (the height about
thirty feet), a,-:d fell upon the crowd underneath,
providentially without sustaining any material in.

COURT Oi kING'a-BEICI-ii juiv 6.

SEDLEY AND OTHEAS Jr.fr; PRObd?.,IN:.•
Mr. Justice LAWRENCE s.-441, that this .t• 3
case tried at the last Assiies for theConnty' of
Lancaster,. before Mr: justice CeAry:nizi':----It was
an Aftion of Debt, upon the filth section of the •
Habeas Corpus Ad, to recover A perfaltragains:
the Defendant, for refusing to grant to the Plaintiffs
a copy of the warrant of commitment or detainer,
by which they were kept in the custody of the De.
fendant, who is the Keeper of the Gaol of Liverpool.
A verdid was found for the Plaintiff, with liberty
for the Defendant to move that a NOnsuit might be
entered, in ease the Court should be of opinion that
the Plaintiffs had not shewn they were entitled to
call on tfie Defendant to chew this warrant at the,.
trial, The substance of. the Plaintiff's declaration
was, that they were in the custody of the Defend.
ant; but not under any charge of treason Or felony:
The Plaintiffs demanded of the Defendant-a copy of
the warrant of commitment or detainer, but that the
Defendant did not within six hours afterwards deli,
ver to the Plaintiffs such copy, whereby he forfeited
the penalty of tool. &c.
It appeared that the Plaintiff, with' three other
persons, were apprehended in Ireland, by a person
of the name of Shee, under a 'warrant from Lord
Castlereagh, and brought over to Liverpool by that
Constable, _ and came into the custody of the De.:
fendant, as Keeper of the Gaol at Liverpool, on
the z 7th of July, and remained there until the loth
of that month, when they were taken away by Shee.
That they, several times, demanded a copy of the
warrant of commitment, which the Defendant
fused to give to them, and that the Defendant had
a warrant in his hand. The Defendant had notice
to produce this warrant At the trial : it was con-
tended at the tri,.: i.;;-. the Plaintiff ought to have
been nonsuited,. because it was not proved that the
Plaintiffs were under any warrant of commitment
or detainetv 'But the learned Judge left it to the
Jury to say whether there was a warrant or not.
The Jury found-there was not any warrant, but that
which was given to Shee, and helook it with him,
when the Plaintiff's weretaken away and brought to
London. A verdift was found for the Plaintiffs, for
the penalty in the Aft of Parliament, subjed to the
opinion of the Court upon this case. There were
several other fads proved at the trial, but as they
were,not important in the consideration of the law-
of the case, the learned Judge said he should not
state them.

The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE having been Counsel
in the cause, took no part in the judgment.—Mr.
Justice LAWRENCE said, that his Brothers GytosE
and Ls BLANC and himself had considered this case,
and were of opinion, that the objetaion taken at the
trial was well founded that the Plaintiffs having
declared they were detained under a commitment or
detainer for some criminal matter, but not for trea-
son or felony, it was incumbent on them to prove
something of the nature of that warrant. That
there was no evidence given of, the warrant given
to Shee, and which was taken away by him, and
that therefore notice to the Defendant to produce it,
Was nugatory, it not being in his possession ; that
this notice to the Defendant to produce the warrant,
would not have entitled the Plaintiff's to give evi-
dence of its contents upon its non-produelionby the
Defendant. The consequence, of which was, that
the Rule for entering a Nonsuit in this case should
be made absolute.
Rule absolute accordingly.

Mr. PARK moved for a Habeas Corpus to be di.
• raled to the Keeper of the Cold Bath-fields Prison,
commanding him to bring up the bodies of Henry
Rea, and two other persons, of the names of Beau.
mont and Morgan, to be bailed, on the ground that
they were committed only on suspicion ofa felony ;
but it was his duty to stare to the Courr,'that this
case had some singular circumstances about it.—
The commitment was on a vehemrmt suspicion of
murder at the Cape of Good Hope, and the commit-
ment was by the Lords Commissioners of His Ma-
jesty in Council.

- Mr. GAR ROW said, that this was a very import-
ant cast—the parties were charged, that the one
was principal, the. other seconds in a duel which
took place and ended fatally, at the Cape of Good
Hope, and one which called for further and serious
inquiry ; but it was for he Court to say, whether,
if the parties were before it, they ought to be ad-
mitted to bail.

Lord ELLFNBOROTJGH .said, that this commit-
ment being on vehement suspicion of murder, in a
case which occurred beyond the seas, was the very
language pointed out by the statute of Henry the
Eighth. It was the proper form of commitment in
such a case as this; it was the form of thy commit-
ment of Governor Wall, who was lately cor►vi::eJ
and executed.

Mr. GARROW said, the matter had been examine()
by the Council, and they went further than an ordi-
nary commitment, fur there was an opinion stated.
They said they did vehemently stispea the parties
of a murder at the Cape of Good Hope, on the Coast
of Africa, and then the commitment Went on, that
they should be kept until discharged in due course
of Law. &c.

The Court was of opinion there was not sufficient
foundation for this application, and therefore retued
die Writ.
