on the part of his relation GEORGE FoREsTER, Esq.
of Willey, Mr. Powys then came forward, and after
passing a handsome eulogium on JOHN KYNASTON

three successive Parliaments, in which he had re-
presented ,the County, proposed his re-elation to
that important station ; his motion was seconded by
Mr. CLUDDE, and both were unanimously adopted
with loud applauses. A 'resolution highly honoura-
ble to the Candidates and ElatOrs was then pro-,
posed by Mr. EYTON, expressiVe of the deep sense
the Meeting entertained of 'the conclua of their
late Representatives, and that they ,should be at
no expence whatever at the ensuing elation . in
giving dinners, distributing ribbons, &c. which
was unanimously adopted. The Candidates then
severally addressed the Meeting, expressing- 'their
gratitude to the Freeholders for their kindness, and
the goOd opinion entertained of their conduf.t, ;. after
!which the' Meeting, was dissolved. The elation
being on Wednesday last, both the Gentlemen n 0,..
minated were returned Without opposition.
On Saturday last the elation' for this Borough
came on at the Guildhall ; Mr. CORBETT, of Sundorn,
proposed Sir WILL. PULTENEY, Bart. for whose
absence he apologized, as being detained by very
particular business ; he Was seconded by Mr. LYS-

CoLBETT, of LongnOr ; both motions Met with
the unanimous approbation of the Meeting, and

HILL were declared duly eiedect., Mr. CO-RBETT,
on the part of Sir WILLIAM PULTENEY, and Mr.

expressing their gratitude and attachment to them ;
after which it was announced, that the chair-
ing and treating, on account- of the maiket, and
in expdtation of Sir WILLIAM PULTENEY' ar-
rival, would be postponed till Monday. Sir Win-
Lima arrived on Monday morning, and soon after
one o'clock 'went to the Guildhall, where he took
the opportunity of retuning thanks in person to
the Elators, for the very handsome manner in
which they had again chosen him during his un-
avoidable 'absence. The Hon, WILLIAM HILL,'
we.,are much concerned to state, was taken
on Sunday, as to be con4tred wills bed, and, ow
ing. to this circumstance, could not attend to be
chaired; his relation, Major BURTON, supplied his
place. The Gentlemen Were then -carried in pro=
cession, amidst the acclamations 'of an immense
number of people; and afterwards the Elalors par-
took of excellent dinners and entertainments pro.,
vided for the occasion at twenty-six different Inns
in the Town kept by Borgesses The evening
was spent with the greatest cOnyiviality, and with-,
out any riot or material accident. We are happy
to hear by an account received yesterday, that
the Hon. WILLIAM HILL'S indisposition is nitich
abated.

On. Wednesday last-came on the eleftion of Mem-
bers for this County, when a most respeetable. num-
tier of Gentlemen met at the Guildhall, and adjourn-
ed from thenc9 to the Castle, where Sir RICHARD
HILL was proposed, as at the nomination 'meeting,
by Mr. CECT,L FORESTER, and seconded (in the

casion was well delivered, and with the best ef,
fed.—Kt. Powys proposed Mr. KYNASTON Pow-
ELL, and was seconded' by •Mr.
,CLUDDC, 'when
th 9 form of election was gone through amidst. the

ncelamations of the surrounding company. On
returning to the gall, Sir RICHARD HILL, and
Mr. KYNASTON POWELL, severally addressed the
Meeting, expressing their gratitude and attachment
to that respeetahle 'body of men, which constitute
die Freeholders of the County of Salop. The
usual ceremony of chairing the Members then took
place, and the Company afterwards met at the Or-
dinaries provided at the different Inns, and the
-day was concluded with that harmony which on
similar occasions has distinguished the meetings of
this County. •
CECIL FORESTER, Esq. and the Hon. JOHN
SIMPSON, are. re-eleded .for Weulock, without
opposition.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM HEREFORD, JULY zB.

" Having • observed in a London Paper of the
17th inst. that Mr. BYNG calls upon the Middle-
sex Freeholders to imitate the example of the .Inde-
penden't Eledors of .Herefordshire, whereby they
would.advance the determined Friends of 'Freedom
to the head of the Pull, I can assuredly infoim
that the friends of genuine Freedom here, most.cor.
dially'join him in that wish ; since Sir G.
WALL and Colonel COTTERELL, the firm suppor-
ters of the King and Constitution, will, in.Ml pro_
babili-ty, before you receive this,• be the returned
Representatives of the County of Hereford ; 'the
state of last night's Poll being as under ; .

Sir GEORGE CORNEWALL - - 2308
Culoriel COTTERELL - 1787
Mr. BIDDULPH

A Correspondent, who has read the Paragraph in
our Paper of the r6th,.on the subjeft of the Leicester
Eleaion, informs us, that we have been grossly im-
posed upon respeaing it. The. contest was-iiCt
sharp while it lasted. Mr. M'CARTHY's all suc—
cess was not owing to his late arrival, nor was it a
EA which four days poll was in any degree neces.
sary to ascertain, Mr. BAB I NGTON did
,flo't thank
that Gentleman at the conclusion of the -poll, fOr
any thing but his personal civility to himself in the
Speech he had just delivered. The approbation ex-
pressed by the Gentlemen on the Hustings, and
near them, on the delivery of that Speech, did not
convey the idea that they approved the whole of
Mr. M'CARTHY's conduCt, or even the motives of
his opposition, but merely that they were glad ;to
hear him do justice to the.charaaer of • one 61 the
Candidates, who had, been the objeCt of his abuse,
by retracting What he had said against him of a
pec'sonal nature, and that they were glad that ,he
was giving up with civility, an opposition-which,
from.the very first, had appeared most evidently to
every common observer of the least. discernment, to
afford not the smallest chance of final success. The
numbers at the close of the Poll were,

Mr. BABINGTON - - 1169
Mr. SINAI - 883
Mr. M'CARTHY r - 3.38

NEwßi..—On ~Tuesday last, the Right Hon.
ISAAC CoRRY, Chancellor of the Irish Exchequer,
was unanitnouslyeleded to represent this Borough.
Mr:Ccittity had been for the last two Sessions de-
prived.by the Ballot of the Union of the Represen-
tation of that Borough, which, till then, he had re-
presented above twenty years successively.

Lord LAUDERDAI.2, we are told, is a Candidate
for the representation of the,Scottish Peerage, but we
can venture to predict that his Lordship will pot
succeed.

Dutchess of DEVONSHIRIZ has been most•
crueliy slandered in' a .Morning Paper, with the
imputation of. having canvassed in favour of Sir
FRACIS BURDETT. . We. torASt that the Dutchess
knows 'what is due to her sex • and her rank too
well, to give any support to-such 'a cause. Xf such
men as the advocates for Sir FRANCIS were to ob.:
tain an ascendancy in this Kingdom, the Dutchess
would have little reason to value -herself on her
rank or sex, as the example of a neighbouring State
shews that men of that stamp are not disposedto
chew respect or mercy to either.
The RizgamuPis who attend daily at Brenitord
to insult the respeaable Freeholders of Middlesex,
made an avempt yesterday. upon .the. carriage .of
Mr. WI LLocx of Golden Square, the Autlioneer,
and a most respedable and active Magistrate--
Mr. WILLOCK''S .coachman, however, drove -soft
with great spirit, -and defeated the hostile inten
tions of the Mobility. Indeed there is such -a
strong attendance of Peace Officers, that the to..
multuous and threatening spirit, of the Rabble is
well kept d9wn.

Sir FRArvCIS BugnETT was yesterday dragged
along the Strand to the Crown'and Anchor, where
a dinner was provided for his Voters.
The Candidate of the Canaille relies upon the
Strength of his Purse to' carry him through, the
Eletion, but this very circumstance ought to open
his eyes to the folly of his own political principles,
which, if brought into aEtion, would take from
him the only thing which gives him pretensions,

Mr. PARKER Case's Petition to the House on
the Nottingham Ele&ion will, it is hoped, be pro-
duaive of some regulations in the Police of that
Town, the imbecility of which 114 s long
_been matter
of complaint. •
Where HARVEY
,ComBE does not furnish the
beer, he furnishes a butt for
.the laughter of all the
Clubs and SmOaking Parties in town, ever since the
appearance of his 'last Address to, the Livery of
London.

Mr. FELLowE, according to the account of a
Norwich paper, gave a guinea to be distributed
among die prisoners in the County Gaol. If this
be indeed the extent of his liberality on gaining his
eleaion for that city, the .World will hardly class
him Witligenerous Fellows ! •
A Mob has been for some days colle&d about
the Prison in Cold Bath Fields, with no,good inten-
tion we, can readily suppose. We trust, hoWever,
to the vigilance of the'Police, to 'preserve die pub..
lie tranquillity.

The .Government of the Island of Sain,t,Helena, in
order to. reficve the Honourable Fast India.Cnmpany
of a very great burthen, by keeping A number of use-
less naves, has sold the whole off at pUblie audtion,
amounting to 190, at very low prices.
