to the uttermost on the present occasion ; but—in spite ,
of all their exertions—l am triumphant.—( Great cheers.)
If the people have only the ballot to protect them, they may
defy the whole power of the Aristocracy.—( Cheers.) Gen-
tlemen, you have again placed me, for I have no doubt
that I am far above the Tory candidate in the proud pre-emi-
nence of one of your representatives, you have done
so not because my name is Joseph Hume, but because
the person bearing that name has ever acted, not for the good
of the few but the millions.—( Cheers.) Since the period of
the dissolution of the late Parliament, I have done everything
I could against the Tories.—( Cries of " Bravo.") I have
exerted myself for the cause of the people, and left
no stone unturned that was calculated to hurl them
from the height they have now attained.—( Great Cheers.)
I shall not be surprised, by and by, to hear Sir Robert Peel
and the Duke of Wellington claim the high honour of being
Radical Reformers.—( Great cheering.) The people now
have got the essence of Reform, and it is their duty to
take care and keep it.—( Loud cheers.) If my lamented
friend, the late Major Cartwright, was now alive, and
could see the connections and descendants of the late Lord
Castlereagh claiming the right of being Reformers, he would
say that the day that he never expected had arrived.—( Cheers. )
They should alter those laws which tended to press upon the
industrious classes, instead of pressing upon the property of
the country--( Loud and repeated cheering.) I say, then, that
this is the time for every man of you to look forward,
and if your representatives will only do their duty, you will
soon be ten times happier.—( Cheers.) You shall have those
advantages and ameliorations to which you have a just right
--you shall claim the right which the Constitution
gives you, and I tell you that you may expect great and im-
portant results to follow from the next Parliament.—( Cheers. )
But you must not expect any thing good till the Duke
of Wellington and his squad are removed.—( Hear, and cheers. )
I have had a paper put into my hands, the Morning Chro-
nicle, where it is said that many good Reformers would not
vote for me, because I said I would not take good
measures from the Tories.—( Loud cheers.) I differ from that
paper in saying they were " good" Reformers. I say they were
sham Reformers, and it is time to unmask them.—(Great
cheering.) I saw a man at Hammersmith vote for Wood and
Byng, and I know there are many who have been equally
regardless of their duty.—( Cheers.) It is important at this
moment that you should send men into the House of Com-
mons who will relieve the burdens that press on the poor
man. The class that suffers most at this moment is that be-
tween the middle and lower classes.--( Cheers.) In that
class three-fourths of the taxes are raised ; but you may expect
happy days in England yet, if you will only be true to your-
selves. There must be an entire change of taxation, for at pre-
sent the interests of the industrious classes are samificed to those
of the landlords. —( Cheers.) The corn laws were passed in the
days when the deputies of the Peers filled the House of
Commons.—( Great Cheering.) The late Ministers knew
the necessity of altering them, but they had not
sufficient confidence in themselves to undertake the task.
Hitherto, therefore, they had been oppressed by those laws,
but they might soon expect a change. The farmers about Ux-
bridge have strong objections to me, because I want to alter
the present corn laws. They are ignorant that it is a ques-
tion between the landlords, and not between the tenants.
lam myself a landlord—l draw my income from land. I am,
therefore, at least, honest in my opinions.—( Cheers.) Tam
desirous that every man holding a monopoly should lose
it, and that people should not live on, the fruits of
the industry of others. I will not detain you fur-
ther, as you may suppose I have no great love
for the Tories. I defy them, as I have defied them every
hour. My words constantly have been, " Union amongst
Reformers, and down with the Tories."--( Loud and re-
peated cheering.) I repeat this ; and Ido so with conscious
confidence that I am advocating the best rights of the people,
and that the people will support me.—( Cheers.) Many, I
am sorry to say, have not done so ; they have been supine,
and have allowed the enemy, by their superior influence,
to occupy the ground. I trust the time will come when in
every parish there will be two or three patriotic reformers who
will organize reform clubs, and be prepared to meet
the enemy.—( Tremendous cheering.) By this means only
can we meet them fairly ; they have committees in
every parish, and the clergymen are their presidents.—
( Great uproar.) I beg to say that there are some ho-
nourable exceptions, and some have come and given me
their support in spite of all obloquy and risk from the over-
bearing hierarchy. Most of them, however, look up to
those in power for favour by infringing on the rights of
the people.—(Loud cheering.) Let there, then, be a com-
mittee in every parish; let there be meetings from time to
time; let them canvass every man who has a vote ; and
let every man clearly understand his duty, and take care
that we are not again put to the trouble and annoyance we
have been put to on the present occasion. Every man
should consider that the interests of his county depends
upon his own vote, and if they did so they would
obtain their just rights, in spite of all the efforts of the higher
ranks and aristocracy of the country. They must also
get the remedy of the ballot—an extension of the
suffrage—but, above all, there must be union. I can only
say that if the battle is to be fought another time—and I un-
derstand there will be another in March next--( Loud
laughter)—you must be prepared. I say, again, let every
man canvass, for I can tell you the Tories will die hard.
It is a death-struggle with them, and I hope we shall soon see
the rattles in their throat.—( Cheers and laughter.) Having
stated my opinions, it now only remains for me to thank
you, which I do from my heart—not for myself, but
for the cause in which we are engaged. As long
as you are true to yourselves, that cause must prosper; and
I can tell you that I shall not consider that the House of
Commons will be doing its duty to that cause, unless they
stop all supplies till the Tories are out.—( Great cheering. )
I am not deficient in loyalty to the Monarch ; but consider that
the exercise of his prerogative is intended only for the benefit of
his people.—( Immense cheering.) He is appointed for their
benefit—for the people are not made for the King, but the
King for the people.—( Renewed cheering.) He is appointed
to carry on the Government according to the laws ; let me
not, therefore, be mistaken when I say that I support the
prerogatives of the Crown. I only do so where I see them
exercised for the interests of the community. On this occasion
I challenge that right—( Cheers)—for I do not know what right
the King has to keep all the offices of Government in the hands
of one man for a whole month.—( Tremendous cheering for
many minutes.) If this were allowed, he might esta-
blish despotism in the land.—( Loud cheering.) The
struggle is beginning.—( Hear, hear.) I again call upon
you to take notice of the conduct of your Representatives,
and to be prepared against the March election.—( Great
laughter and cheers.) I will only promise for myself
that I will go on in my old wa) —I will do my best ;
and if it is not always the best, I assure you, at least,
it is well meant—(Hear, hear, and tremendous cheering. )
I entreat you to maintain a state of peace, subordination,
and tranquillity—and do not give the Tories any
ground for infringing your rights. On Monday we will go
to Brentford, and as you have laboured to obtain my triumph,
I hope you will be present to grace it, and show by your nio
deration, good sense, and prudent conduct, that you know
how to acquire your rights, and to maintain them.—( Cheers. )
Major REVELL also addressed the multitude, and congratu-
lated them upon the triumph they had just obtained. He
hoped that on every future occasion they would also do
their duty, and show this country, and the whole world, that
they were not behind their fellow-electors in their love of re-
form, and their anxiety to spread the principles of civil and
religious liberty.—( Great cheering.)
The immense multitude then quietly separated, at ten mi-
nutes past five o'clock, after giving three cheers for Hume and
Reform, three groans for the fallen Tories, and cries of "we
will meet them in March."
FINAL CLOSE OF THE POLL.
George Byng, Esq. 3,472
Joseph Hume, Esq 3,102
Thomas Wood, Esq. ..
With the exception of Uxbridge and Bedfont returns.

Mr. HUME, after leaving King's Cross, proceeded to his
head Committee-room at Charing-cross, where a very anxious
multitude had assembled. The calls for the Hon. Gentleman
were so great, that he was obliged again to address them from
the balcony of the " Salopian."
The Honourable " Member," we may now say, was
loudly greeted, and accompanied to Bryanstone-square by a
large number of carriages and gentlemen on horseback, with
flags, &c.
After the Honourable Gentleman left, the Committee
made arrangements to go down in procession to Brent-
ford on Monday next. A great .number of gentlemen
enrolled their names upon the spot. The list is to be
kept open till six o'clock to-morrow.
Mr. HuME returned his most cordial thanks to his Committee
for their exertions in the cause of Reform, and departed with
great approbation.

CHURCH REFORM.—We can state upon what we
consider unquestionable authority, that a Committee of
Bishops has been appointed to consider of a plan of Church
Reform, including a commutation of tithes, preparatory to the
subject being submitted to Parliament by his Majesty's Minis-
ters.— Worcester Journal.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—Thursday afternoon Mr.
Stirling tie coroner, and a jury, assembled at the workhouse
in Little Gray's Inn-lane, to inquire concerning the death of
a male child which was found in the house, No. 2, Verulam-
buildings, Gray's Inn, with its throat cut in a most horrible
manner.—Mr. Peregrine Fernandez, surgeon of Lamb's Con-
duit-street, had examined the body of the deceased ; it had
two wounds, which seemed to have been made by a pointed
instrument, on each side of its neck, and the windpipe was
entirely divided. The wounds were the cause of the child's
death ; it was a full-grown infant.—Ellen Charlotte Beacon,
fifteen years of age, lived with her parents, who reside at No.
2, Verulam-buildings ; on Tuesday last, about five minutes
past seven o'clock, as she was going from her father's kitchen
to the chambers of Mr. Potter, which are on the second floor
of the same house, she picked up a bundle on the landing-
place of the ground floor, near to Mr. Hunt's door ; she car-
ried it to her mother, who on laying hold of it felt the head of
a child; her mother cried out and sent for a policeman, who
took possession of the bundle, which witness was led to under
stand contained the body of a child.—Rice, an inspector of
the E division, had ascertained that on the evening in ques-
tion two women and a man were seen standing near No. 2,
Verulam-buildings. One of the women was about 20 years
old, five feet five inches high, rather.pale, and was dressed in
a light gown and white straw bonnet. The other woman ap-
peared to be nearly 40 years of age, and about five feet
high. The man was dressed in black, about 20 years of age,
and very short. They were in deep conversation, and the per.
son (his informant) could identify the young woman.—Verdict,
" Wilful murder, against some person or persons unknown."
