EIGHTH DAY.

Yesterday the business of the Election was re-
sumed with great spirit. From an early hour
bands of music were heard in different quarters
of Westminster-0e ca'ivassing for igt. Hot-
}louse was carved on with great activity in the
parishes of St. Martin and St. George, and Elec-
tors were brou,Art up, preceded by bands of music
playiog `.` See the conquering Hero comes !".and
With, the banners used last year in the procession
of ch,iring Sir FRANCIs BURDRTT. A crowd con-
tinued assembled as usual in front of the hlwings.
There were a few additiooal contemptible placards
held up by the friends of Me. 1-1013n0USE. Sir F.
BCRDETT and Mr. ElonnousE were actively en-
raged during the Avimie of the morning in visit-
ing their severs Committee-rooms, and urging
their friends to renewed exertions. In conse-
queLce of the attack made by Sir F. BURDETT
upon Alderman Woon, on Saturday, for canvass-
ing for Mr. Lamb, and the denill of the worthy
Alderman that he had taken any part whatever in
the present contest, the person who gave the in-
tormaion to Sit- FaANcts BURDETT was prodoCed
to Aiderman Woof) in the morning, at sir. Hors-
tionses Committee Room, in King-street, Co-
vent-garden, when qe person declared that there
Was the strongest likeness between the Gentle-'
man he saw canvassing and the worthy Alderman,
and that hence the mistake arose.

Mr. HOBH OUSE caste forward amidst the cheers
hiS friends. He congratulated them on the
considerable victory they had that day gained over
their opponents. The cause had obtained a ma-
jority river their adversaries of 305 on the day's
poll..—(Biavo.)—lf they effected as much to-
morrow, the majority of the Whig Candidate
%Toold he destroyed. He understood that would
,bc. the case, as the delusion; which with such suc-
cess their encircles had been able to cast over the,
eyes of she Electors of Westminster, was fast dis-
pelling._ lie (Mr. llobhouse) was no longer con-
sidered as a Tory Candidate ; and he then took
the first opportunity of correcting a statement
made by him on a former occasion, then he said
that a distinguished. Nobleman, canvassing for
Lamb, had characterised him as ra:fory Ca n-
-016ate. That he now found was not true as to that

Noblemin—(" Random charges are the weapons
of you and Burdett—first abuse and then apolo-
gies," from the friends of Mr. Lamb)—but it was
the expedient made use of by many others, in the
interest of his opponent, who left nothing unsaid
to prejudice character. The Hon. Candidate
then proceeded to a repetition of ail his charges
against the IViiigs, mid concluded with asserting
ow the great question of Parliamentary Reform
depended on the i,sue of that Election.
Mr. LAMB, amidst the applauses of his friends,
mid the groans of the yellers, said, the exertions
of my opponents have produced a large advan-
tage on to-day's poll, and I am glad of it ; be-
caite nothing else could remove the entire confi-
dence of my friends, who deemed our victory too
secure. I am still confident of success. 'I hey
have accused us of tricks, but two of their asser-
t iotts have already been proved false, one respect-
ing Alderman Wood, and one respecting a Noble-
man canvassing for me. Of the 114nd-bill pro.
duced I know nothing; and thoneh their tricks
may he pas endless as they represent ours, their
poll will soon fail short. _
Mr. flut4-r then came to the front of the Host-
Ogs amitht a general uproar. He confessed he
was not surprised at the opposition which was
made to his being heard, when he considered
the attempts which had been had remorse to by
the other side—(Tumult.)— Flit Mee!ing could
not help seeing that the hired gang was this day
better orgaiiized than they were on a former oc-
casion—(The uproar here increasing, Mr. Hunt
held up a placard in his 'tend, " No foul play.")
—This was the only way by which they could do
justice, for unless they heard all, how could they
lodge who tV correct.--(Here some person ex-
hibited a hahet, on which Mr. Hunt, turning to
the Baronet, said, " Give him his due.")—Were
they afraid to hear him from the noise they
•tvete now tirikme ? Did the threats of my Lord
Cavlereagh or Ministers terrify them ? he hal-
ter, he co,ild assure diem, eras ton great a bribe
for a poor SI,rsi:111; wretch. Would they con-
sent to hear the Baronet ? Were I," said Mr.
Htint, ". able; like hint, to pay day, You
would, have nn dooht, hear me also. You
heard hint on Satnrday, a d you heard the direful
;iccosatiott he Made against Mr. Alderman IVood.
From that charge mite B ironer is,now willing, you
to steak out. As a pOlitical Quixotte he
has gone curry where about tinder pretence of
seretng yon. But has be tint grossly dective4
you ?. Will lie be in the House to-night at his
chity ? "r,e proof of this will be seen to-morrow.
I -ee von won't he r me to-day, 'but I have no
doubt you will come here in a rely different tem-
per 16- morow."--'-(Applause and hisses.)
Sir F. BuaDETT: said, the result of this day's
poll had proved ,that he was not. wrong- whet' he
lust addressed them, when he declared his confi-
dence in the patriotism, independence, and exer-
tions of the Electors of Westminster. It proved,
that notwithstanding all that had beets said,by the
venal oewspaper press, that they were•still true, to,
theemivse fd. liberty. He.denied that fie had said, fl 9
WAS imputed to hint, that, the whole press of the
country was venal. He then proceeded to make
a furious artaik on several Newspapers, and (tido-
,gized one Journal, . which appears to be a
great favourite of his. It was a great, graiifi,
cation to him to have to say, that Mr. Alder-
man Wood had, not been guilty of that dere-
liction from the principh which he had professed,
by canvassing for Mr., Lamb, which had been
imputed to him. fie however believed that some-
body had been epg.iged to personate Alderman
Vilood, as a person had been seen among Mr.
Lamb's canvassers by several Electors; who was ,
called by his name. All artifices had then re.
sorted to by the opponents orMr. Hohhouse that.
could degrade them and their cause, but all gild:
failed. It appeared that time foul sluices ofcor-
ruption were
.nearly exhat.isted-1 hat the waters
Of pollution werei)egititting to stagnsite, while the
fountains of liberty were,only beginning to play,
and be had no doubt but the healthful stream,
ponred in by the Electors of Westminster, would
like a torrent carry before it every obstacle to suc-
cess in the present contest. It was said by the
venal press that his money had induced a mob to
repair to the Hustings to oppose Mr. Lamb. • He
denied the charge, and (UAW ained that the Eke-
tors of Westminster ryere not tp be moved by any
such means. He strongly condemued,the conduct
of those who voted against the dictates of their
consciences, but held those who dragged them to

the Dustings to do so to he more culpable,
and liable,,if the facts could he proved, to be pro_
scented for snhornat ion of perjury. He !oared with.
feelings of compassion on the kVhig-Court•Coali-
tion Candidate—tor no sit iation could by more
unhappy than ,0 stand as he did in amity with
the person who bad Jost
randressed them. Rather
than be seen in that situation, he would prefer a
thousand times' standing in the Pillory in that
place.—(A laugb.)—Those who had brought the
Electors there to vote against their consciences
would have no more that! the punishment dire to
their crime, if tt:ey were exalted in the Pillory.
He congratulated them on the spirit which they
had manifested in the cause of Reform, and agreed
with Mr. 1-lubbouse, that the power of the Crown
was not to be dreaded, if that of the Borough.
mongers could be reduced. Nothing but a
Reform in Parliament could essentially serve
the people, and this cause the Electors of West-
minster would materially advance, -by returning
llobliouse.—(Here he was interrupted by
shouts of exultation, and a loud cry of " Hunt is
gone !")—He called on them in conclusion to de-
vote every moment of their 'time, as he would,
till the object was accomplished to secure the re-
turn of Mr. floblionse.

The business of the day here closed. Mr. Hunt,
who had previously retired, was followed to the
Russell Coffee-house, roughly. treated on the way,
and blockaded when he arrived there. Some of

e windows of the Coffee-house were broken-by

s pursuers.

The Gamekeeper of the Eatl of ILCHESTER, at
Redline's, in Somersetshire, was killed, a few days
ago, its consetvenee of his having accidentally
trod' upon the wire of a spring-gnn he was setting
in the groom's., which went off, and lodged its
contents in his body.

TUESD.IY, FEBRUARY 23, 1819.

_There has been no arrival of Paris Papers this
morning. Two days' Journals are due.

We have signified that in giving our support to
Mr. LAMS, we do not consider ourselves as sup.
potting the cause of an individual, but as resisting
a Faction who Wish to overturn the State. We

differ-from Mr. LAMB in political prioeiples, or,
rather, sentiments, for we believe that he is hear-
tily attached to the British Constitu►ion, though

he is adverse to that Ministry whO have saved the
Country from destruction, and delivered Europe
from oppression. But the BUR DETTI TES are
revolutionary miscreants, who would rise upon
the ruins of their Country. Therefore, inde-
pendently of time other reasons which ren-
der Mr. frozuouss a person totally unfit
to sit in the Britiali Senate, the very support
given to him by the BURDETTUTEs is sufficient to
brand his,character with indelible odium, and con-
serpeotly for the honour of the British name, we
ardently hope that the Electors of Westminster
will spurn his pretensions with indignation and
horror.

The recent Meeting of Revolutionists At Stock-
port fully manifested the feelings of those who

support Mr. 110
are all of the same traitorous Faction. Their
turbulent propensity was so great ,that it, was
twice necessary to read the Riot• Act before they:
would disperse, and with a cowardice equalto
their wickedness, they not only assailed, the Sot.
Biers and the loyal Inhabitants with stones, but
actually attacked in the same manner a•barmless.

to Government.—BßlTONS reflect—such. are the
