WESTMINSTER ELECTION.

• IT. is with equal regret and astonishment that
we find ourselves under the necessity of stating-that
the dignity of the City of Westminster, and the
feelings of the real Eletors are still to be insulted
hy the continuance of this 'ridiculous Elelion. It
was certainly very natural that the Eledurs should
feel too much contempt for Mr. GRAHAM, to sup.
pose it to be necessary for them to make any exer-
tions in favour of Lord GARDNER, hut it is paying
too great a complimentto the population of West-
minster, to suppose, that there are not a consider.
able number who would vote for any Candidate.—
It is therefore ineuMbent on the Friends of the Con-
stitutio'n, to come forward with energy, and crush
the united efforts of Jacobinism and Vulgarity. -

And the number of Persons who voted for .Mr.
GRAHAM, were 5234.
Lord GARDNER then came forward, but the Mob,
as usual, in obedience, we suppose, to their In-
struftions, interrupted him with their-yells.
Mr. O'Bitt EN then Made a very long address to
the Populace, which was very frequently interrupt-
ed. He seemed to complain that Mr. Fox had not
so many votes as he expe&ed. Indeed, considering
the great pains taken by Mr. Fox to obtain votes
on both sides, first by endeavouring to join his in.
terest to that of Lord GARDNER, and afterwards by
listening with complacency to Mr. GRAHAM'S pro-
posal for a Coalition, it must be a subjeft of regret
to his-Friends that he has not got a few mbre.
A Person, whose name or profession we could not
learn, and whose speech we could not understand,
spoke on the part of Mr. Gx4H4m.
Mr. GRAHAM then express&t his intention of
keeping open the roll; and' so ended the business of
the day,
