DOPER, JI-TLY 9.

Ova Poll, afterhavingbeen open about antour thi;
morning, finally closed, by Mr. Husitissox declin,
ing to prosecute the
.contest any farther. He did this
in 'a .very handsome and conciliating speech, which
met the unanimous approbation of his opponents ; and
though the opposition to him, from an unfortunate
misconception, has been carried on kvith a considera,
*degree Of heat and violence, we trust that the very
manly and liberal sentiments .expressed by Mr.
HusictssoN, and which were enforced by the Ad.
dresses of the successful Candidates, Sir SIDNEY
SMITH, and Mr.jo tr Fa,cTott, will allay the ferment
of the. moment, and soften doWn all animosities.—
SO impressed were the Freemen at large with Mr,.
HuststssoN's-very handsome and liberal condo& dur-
ing the EleEtion, that on the close pf 'the Poll they
voted him their unanimous thanks ; .and from the
sentiments expressed by his opponents hi general?
and their condua since the poll, it may be
.ven-
tured to be pre.clieted; that should he offer himself
on 'a future vacancy, he will be brought in on th.
shoulders of the people.

WqqRD, JULY 9.

THIS morning. the Eleaion for this City ended,
after one of the most severe contests ever known.
The Candidates on this occasion were, FiANG is
BURTON, Esq. the old Member, JOHNINGRAM
LOCKHART, Esq. a Barrister of London, and JOHN
ATKYNS WRIGHT, ESq. a Country Gentleman of
this neighbourhood. The numbers on last night's
poll were, for Mr. WRIGHT g 36, Mr. BURTON Btz,
land Mr. Loc'KH ART 4.54. The number of Free,.
men who had then polled, amounted to 1188,
being a. greater proportion than ever was hefore
remembered, and Mr. I,OCKHAP_T therefore ;ee.,
ing no
sprosped .of; success from a further perse.:
verance in the contest, ;his morning, as soar!.
as the business of "the day , was opened, declined
giving any further trouble. On the return being
declared, Mr. BURTON' made -a most impressive an
eloquent Address to the Freemen, in which he ex.,
pressed his gratitude for their affedionate and warn;
support of him. Mr. WRIGHT also returned his
thanks, but a heavy shower of rain coming on, pre•
vented him from being heard at great length. The
successful Candidates were then chaired, 4rni4st
acclainations of thousands of speaators.

During the contest Mr. BuRTON was attended by
a large concourse of the most respeCtable Gentlemen
of the, County and City, among whom were, Sir
Jotim SKYNNER, Sir HENRY DASHWOOD, Sir
DIGBY M4pKWORTH, Mr. SHELDON, the Right
Hon. CHARLES ABBOT, Messrs. G. and J. NAREs!
the Sons of the late Judge, Mr. TAtncrazi, Sen.
the Town Cleric of the City, the Magistrates,
erc. &c.

About an hour after the conclusion of the Poll on
Thursday afternoon, in the Borough, Sir THomAs
TURTON sent a letter to the Returning Officer, ac-
quainting him of his determination to withdraw 11:014
the contest. About six o'clock Messrs. THORNTON,
TIERNEY, and Mr. DUNKIN on the' part of Sir
T. TURTON, returned to the hustings, and Mr-
DUNxtN declined giving the EleEtors farther trou-
ble, as there was no prospect of Sir THOMAS re-
covering his lost ground. Mr. ,Tholusurort and
Mr. TIERNEY were. then declared duly cleCted,
amidst the acclamations of the populace.
N. BOND, Esq. and HENRY BANKES, Esq. are
the Members for Corff Castle.

The Eleaion of two Members to represent the
Town of Poole, came on on Thursday, when JoHN
JEFFERY and EORGE GARLAND, Esqrs. the for-
mer Representatives, were unanimously re.eleaed.
The Isle of Wight Elcaions have passed over
without the smallest opposition : Sir‘Rois E BAR-
CLAY, Bart. of Throgmorton-street, and CHARLES
CHAPMAN, Esq.-of Somersetshire, sit for the Old
Borough of Newton and J. BLACKBURN, Esq.
of New Broad-street, and G. KERR, Esq. of Le-
land, are to represent Newport.

The three Candidates for Middlesex met by acci-
dent last Thursdayin the course of their canvass at
Uxbridge, where,they all dined together with their
friends. The heal ths of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT ani
Mr. BYNG were drank; but when that of Mr•
MAINWARING was given, one of Sir FRANCis'S
supporters proposed to couple Governor Iris with
that Gentleman. So mean a manoeuvre was treated
by Mr. MAINWARING with the contempt which it
merited.

We learn from Coventry, that the Ele&ion
menced on Thursday • Mr. JEFFERYS and Mr.
‘BARLoW were attended to the Booth by several
respeaable friends, and after some altercation be•
t*een the Candidates, Mr. BIRD, Mr. P. MOORE,
Mr. JSFiERYS and Capt. BARLOW, it was agreed
the Poll should proceed by tallies. After the bust'
ness of the day was finished, Mr. JEFFERYS and
Captain BARLOW were prevented addressing their
friends, by' the tumultuous and clamorous proceed-
ings of the partisans of Mr. BIRD and Mr. Mooße'
who committed great outrages ; however, all Was
quiet yesterday morning, and as the Out-voters in
the:interest of JEFFERYS and BARLOW were at"
riving at Coventry in great numbers, there is veri
little doubt of their being returned.
