To a favourite Candidate of the Mob yelter6y
obtained a Nominal Kijority of Votes, by mean:
which, as they will doubtless become the sn':,.frtft t,f
investigation before anni her "fribtinal, we shall net
now dwell Upon ; we shall content ourselves with
expressing our belief, char his Triumph be'
short-lived;. and that .Middlesex Will- not long be
deprived of its proper Representative.
The polling began yesterday morning at eight
o'clock. In the early part ef the day nothing mate-
rial occurred, except, that of an unusual number of
persons having.come to vote for Sir.FR4Nc MIR -
pETT. The hackney-coaches in his employ were
not sufficient to convey one half of them from 1,,c+0.
don, and it was hardly pos-ible to End a place either
inside or 'outside a stage going to BrenifOrd. The
crowd about the Hustings was much greater than on
any day since the Eleetion began. .Arthree o'clock
the pull was, finally closed. •
The Sheriff's then came forward, and .Mr. BUR-
cuELg„ the•Under-Sheriff, told the Freeholders that
they were called on to chuse fit and proper persois
to represent them in• Parliament ; that a . was
afterwards demanded, at the final close of which the
numbers were,

- For GEORGE BYNG, Esq.- -
.3543
WILLIAm NIAINwARINc;, Esq. , 2936
►Sir I'K.t►NCIS BURDETT, Bart. 3207
After a pause of some time, Mr. BuRctIELI.
again addressed the Freeholders, and slid that the
majority of votes having apiceared to be in favour
of GColt GE BYNG, Esq. and Sir FRANCIS Butt-
DETT, Barr, the Sheriffs declared them to be duly
eleded as Knights to serve in Parliament ;for 1116
County of Middlesex.

A pause of near a quarter of an hour ensued, and
at last the Cryer desired the people to depart, and
give their attendance again on a new summons.-,-
'fhe two new Members then came forward in front
of the Hustings, and addressed the multitude,
The friends of Mr. Er ca then carried him away
from the Hustings in a chair, which was very un4f
for the purpose, It was nothing better than a Om.
mon ale-house chair,

The partizans of Srl F. BUR)DETT had a machine
supported on two poles, decorated with branches of
laurel, in which they placed their Candidate, and
carried him a considerable way through the town of
Brentford, until a very heavy shower of rain con:,
pelted him to get into'his coach,

The cavalcade which moved along contisted.of
about three hundred carriages of every description,
with hundreds of people on foot, who could get no
conveyance at all. The road was so full, tha:
-the coaches were frequently obliged to stop for;
ten minutes and a quarter of an hour at a time,
before they could move along. It took full three
hours to go a distance which could otherwise have
been 'gone in one hour. There was, as may easily
be imagined, a, great deal of pressing and en-
tangling of carriages among each, other ; in the
course of which they sustained considerable damage,
We, have not heard of any serious accidents ; a
gig was 'overturned, •in which were two young
Ladies.; but fortunately they received no other in-
jury, than that of being soused in the 11:111d.
Having thus far traced the progress of this cavaT
cade, or, to adopt a more appropriate term, of this
banditti,, for such it was in the legitimate sense of
the word, we will content ourselves with briefly
describing its entrance to the Metropolis. The whole
of Knightsbridge, Hyde Park Corner, and Piccadil,
ly; as farlas the house of the Member efeCt, exhibited
an incongruous mass of the very lowest classes of
society, enticed by curiosity from those labours, the
negle4 of which their families will, perhaps,
long have to deplore. The motley crew passed aloil
the Strand to the Crown and Anchor Tavern, where
Sir FRANots was met by his Committee, and retired,
after haranguing the Mob, to conclude the clay in
those orgies which best charaCterize so farcical a sof
lemnity.
Happily for the-Peace of the Metropolis, every ne#,
cessary precaution was adopted to prevent the dread'
ful effects of that disposition to riot, disorder, and
tumult which manifested itself. It was to be feared
that men, heated with success and liquor, would
have proceeded to alts of violence, and particularly
that they would have made the Cold Bath Fields
Prison, or, as they call it, the Bastile, the objea of
des truCtion.

To obviate any popular effusion of the princi'
pies of this motley assemblage, timely orders well
issued for the appointment of sufficient Militari
Guards—the Light norse Volunteers, one of the
Regiments of Guards, and the East India Cora'

pany's Corps of Volunteers, were prepared to have
aded at a moment's warning. The Lortio MAyoX
and the Magistrates of Westminster had also a for-

midable body of Police Officeis in readiness ;
these wise precautions the peace of every part of the
Metropolis was preserved.

It is a fad very degrading to Sir FRANCIS BUR'
DETT, that most of the distinguished Members (,
Opposition were aaually ashamed of voting for hirer
and kept back as long as they could find expedients
for delay, till they were overpowerd by Importunity.
Having still some regard for their charaaers, they
were reasonably apprehensive that if they were con-
spicuous as BURDETTITTES, they must be.indelibll
branded as Jacobins.

What a drawback on the exulting feelings of:the
returned Candidate; that he/has, not the opportunity
of being felicitated on his success by his truly re;
speaatile and
.constitutional Friends ROGER and
ARTHUR O'CONIWR ! This is• rather the more
unlucky as those " Bosom Friends" of theldol /
Mobocracy , are now actually undergoing their too
lenient fate of Deportation. In one of the inco-
herent rhapsodies which the former of these Heroeg
alßebellion addressed to the People of Ireland, her
thus apostrophises his friend: '6 By RDETT oy
" Forenark I—the land which gave THEE birth,
"will be ever dear to the heart of O'CoNNoit !!!'

A nurilber of Subscribers to a Flour Mill, princi-
pally contributed tc decide the Middlesex Poll 0,
