f but they had gained nothing by this election, Sir S, W. then
went on at considerable length to compliment his Committee,
and those electors who had placed him in that situation
he occupied on the poll ; and to vindicate himself from the mis-
representations of which he had been the subject. Those
who had voted for him would never need to be ashamed to walk
the borough in the face of open day.—(Cheers.) They would
not need to crouch before men who had betrayed their inde-
pendence.—(Cheers.) They were men of high integrity and
honour, and they had nobly discharged their duty. He
charged the successful candidates with corrupt in-
fluence, and he knew of an instance, which, however,
he would not name, of an individual holding a place under Go-
vernment that had been warned, if he gave his vote to him
(Sir S. W.) he would loose his situation—(Groans, hisses, and
cries of " Name, name.") He had when he first
addressed them, been opposed to Ballot. He had hoped that
no Englishman would have been made to shrink from the per-
formance of so high and noble a duty by undue influence
being-exerted over him; but the conduct and result of this
election had convinced him that the country never could ex-
pect perfect purity of election until electors were protected
from all dictation by the establishment of vote by ballot.—
(Cheers.) Sir S. Whalley, after some further remarks, again
returned thanks, and retired amidst the loud acclamations of
the assembled multitude.

Mr. MURPHY, in his address, thanked the electors for the
support he had received; and exhausted himself in bringing a
furious attack on the press, particularly against the "Times" and
the " Morning Chronicle," which had never deigned till last
Saturday to notice the fact of his being a candidate for that
borough. The registered electors had beaten the people,
whose approved candidate he was, but if all those—upwards of
twenty-three thousand—who had originally been intended
as electors, had been invested with the elective franchise,
he had no doubt he would have been returned with a tri-
umphant majority. He had always been in favour of the ballot,
and he hoped the people would now insist on having it made
a more substantial Reform.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. M. went on
at considerable length to attack a gentleman who had induced
him to come forward, and who had basely deserted, and the
cause of the people.
Colonel JONES presented himself to return thanks for the
support he had received, but in consequence of the confusion
that prevailed, scarcely a word could be heard. He had not ex.
pected to be returned, and he himself had voted for the two
successful candidates.—(Great uproar.) He had never at.
tempted, and lie never would, to conceal any act of his life.
He had considered Mr. Portman and Sir W. Horne
the only fit Representatives of that borough, from

their position in life—their character. and—attach-
ment to Reform. He congratulated tha Ministry on the
victory they had achived through this election. The Gallant
Colonel went on amid tho greatestconfusisn toaedress the
electors.

At the conclusion, a vote of thanks was moved and car.
tied to the Lord Mayor, for his able conduct as Returning•
officer, and the meeting was dissolved.

SOUTHWARK.

At one o'clock the High Bailiff came on the hustings
and said he bad cast up the numbers for the respective
Cmdidates, and found them as follow :

Brougham 2264 Allrn 1040
mpher 1708

Mr. BROUGHAM then presented himself to the meeting,
and was received with loud cheers. He was, however, in
such a weak state of health that he could not address them.
Mr. W. DAVIS returned thanks on his behalf, and said
that the high honour conferred on Mr. Brougham was doubly
grateful to him, because his friends and such a vast body
of the electors had attended to his interest when he was unable
to assist himself. All he would now say was that Mr. Brougham
would perform attentively and consistently his Parliamentary
duties as he had done hitherto, and as he was not able to re.
turn thanks in person, he would publish an address and send
it down to the electors. Mr. Brougham then retired amidst
loud cheering.

Mr. ELLIS, in returning thanks for Mr. Sheriff Hutnphery,
who was obliged to attend to his duty at Guildhall, said he
was proud in having nominated Mr. Humphery, and proud in
finding so many electors of the same opinion. The new can-
didate, in his opinion, was the most eligible person ; he was a
man of energy, a man of business, and would attend to the in-
terests of the middle and lower classes.—(Loud cheers.)
He would not, as some Members, attend the House
of Commons some five or six weeks and then re-
tire to the country, but would be constant in his at-
tention to the interests of his constituen ts. He was gratified
beyond measure that, in the metropolitan districts, neither a
Tory nor a destructive had been returned ; and was proud to
think that the electors of Southwark had done their duty in
returning two such respectable Members.—(Applause)
Mr. ALLEN also returned thanks for the support he had
received. It was no small gratification to him that he had
1040 respectable electors in his favour ; and, considering the
support he had had, and the kindness he had experienced, he
withdrew from the contest in perfect good humour.—(Cheers.)
He never had any wish for a seat in Parliament, unless
he could obtain that seat with the wishes of the
great body of the electors.—(Loud cheers.) The speaker then
complained of the false statements put forth, not on the
hustings where they could be refuted ; but in handbills, which
could not be answered till the mischief was done, and concluded
by saying that though it was not his intention ever to stand
again for the borough, he would to the last day of his life re-
member with gratitude the support he had received.
Mr. DAVIS moved a vote of thanks to the High Bailiff for
his kind and impartial conduct during the election.

Mr. ELLIS seconded the motion, when the assembled
crowd gave three cheers for the High Bailiff.
The HIGH BAILIFF returned thanks, and the crowd
quietly dispersed.
