To be forced into publicity is a -great discntn.
fort to thtise who- wish to he private. This in-
fliction, however, is a parr of the,many blessings
shed- upon society by the tactics of drone tried
friends of liberty awl iecornin, the Jacobin Sosias
of the Covent 03rilen Hustings, The Jopi•er of
this radiant Gemini, Sir InANCIS BuaDETT, ap-
pears, by the reports of _his speech of yesterday,
to. have complimented the writer of the following
card with a greater knowledge of election ini-
quities than is possessed by any other mortal
man.: Sir FRANcm,quoted a poet in the same
speech. In that celebrated author, the lion. Ba-
ronet will find the following couplet :

The world I knot+, hut made it not n,' rule; '
And in a scene of filly heed uo fool.
re it were trnit that the perion alluded to really
possessed all the imputed knolyledge of election
iniquity,' the merit would not be the less at dis-
daining to practise it. Now, it during 39 yea; s'
connexion. with Westminster and with other dee-
'lions, any election iniquity' can be proved
against that person—it through all the violence of
so many contests, a single instance can he shown of
that person's having traduced the private character
of any man—still less of any tvanani he will sign a
eat te I)la:riche, to be filled up with a confession of
every crime that can be inventeirby Jacobin our-
levolence, dipping its pen into the gall which
tiace.cl the placard of Friday last aphis! some
Noble Ladies, living and dead. The still surely-
tug females may, by the daily beauty' of t: eir
innoxious lives, extinguish any ford impression
front that placard—but, how can the dull cold
ear of the 'deceased defend itself against such
vilene,s ?

Until that-Ad:OM, unmanly, inhirman, impious,
execrable placard made the chief inv.( of Friday's
Covent Garden pageant, the Writer of the card'
strictly adhered to his original determination of
not vating'or canvassing in the Elect ; and he
declares that it, on the sile of Mr. LAMB, the La-
dies in behalf of Mr: Hoirnotise-vere viEfied by
any third like equal atrocity, his conviction of
the universal destruction that must he the infal•
lible result of the success of Jaeolsinism could
scarcely have prevented hint from voting for Mr.
lloanouSE.

With regard to the misrepresentations of Mr.,
Fox, the contradictioo, as f'ar as it went, by Air.
LAMBTON, is quite exact. The extent, however,
of the systematic perversion of every thing refer-
able to Mr. Fox by the Jacobin-party in thi' coo-
lest, can only be known from traditioo, if known
at all, to even the Noble authorities quoted in
Mr. LAUBTO'S contradiction. But the Jlicobin
assailers of the dead may be assured that their
conduct shall not be forgotton.
In the meanwhile, to that impartiality, which
is more honourable to a Public Journal Onto any
possible partizanship, the writer addresses him-
sell, for inserting, word for word, the card which
has furnished occasion for this unexpected as-
sault ; with the direct detail of which she person
interested is, at this moment, brit imperfectly act.-
quainted. The card was as tollows,:—'

No. 21, !.'raven-stre, t, Strand , Feb. 17th, 1i319.

Mr. l) is O'BuYEN intreats of those Electors, to whose
application at the commencement of the preisent contest he
replied, ' that it was not his intention to talie any pant in the
present Election,' now to cones Jot ward, and attemionsly to
support the Honourable Gunanit.LAMß; who cannot, at all
-events, he suspected. of any hostility to the British Constitu-
.tion; and whose adversary's election system—siandea in;
whatever is 'Mist venerated atinongst'the deal, or respectithle
in life7—renders further inaction incotupatible alike with
moral feeling and political ditty.
He begs to add, that he shall by happy to,see those Electors
who are s\illing to oblige hint, at his own Weise to lireakfast,
on Monday and Tuesday, the Ist and id of March;, to pro-
ceed with him to the hall, and assist in giving a decisive blow
to scurril it y--sedition--and t he must eppres,ticeiyraatny,tander
the maqk of pretended freedom.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.—Pit :Sunday.morning
last., soon after*the Rev. DI. I3INGHAM had taken his
text, a Gentleman, (we understand a chemist nod
druggist in Berkeley-sr.reet, Portman-square), was
taken in a fit, screaming „violently, When, as
though by a signal given, the whole congregation
rose and endeavoured to escape ; in the confu-
sion numbers left their hats, umbrellas, shags,
&c. on their seats, anxious only to leave the
•Chapel, which many.bad already conceived to he
on fire, others that the roof was failing in, and
persons who were present-. state, that the sodden
rising oldie people and the falling of tonbrelks,
was such as to create_an idea of the re;iliiy ut tlia
root's having. given way. This chapel being al.
ways crowded to excess, charade's west ant
wanting .to take every advantage of the confusion
that prevailed ; •numerous robberies wet e com-
mitted, hats, shawls, handkerchiefs,;and even
purses and pocket-books, were missed, and sought
for in vain in every direction. One of the Cha-
pel doors was torn trout the hinges, several-wo-
men and. children were severely itijnred ; one
young woman had her arm broken, and another
had her clothes torn entirely off from her waist
downwards. It is a singular circumstance, that
a like case of confusion occurred at this place of
worship eight-and-.twenty years ago, and when,
as we are informed, the saute Rev. Gentletuau
preached.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—A young went3n of tlie
name of Bartholomew, servant to a ct►anoiler in
St. Anne's-yard, hung
,herself to a beam in' her
bed-room yesterday morning, in ,which situation •
she was discovered by one of the chilthen, and

LONDON JOURNALS.

TROM THE MORNING PAPERS_ OF THIS DAY.-

[The 7'in:es.]
WESTMINSTER ELECTION.

OUTRAGES OF THE MOB.

Yesterday, being the last day of the Westmin-
ster Election, was ushered in, not by the rir.ging
of bells or the firing of cannon, but by the heating
•
of drumS,the shrill tones of the fife, and the dis-
cordant music of the marrow-bone anti cleaver.
From eight o'clock in the morning, all was hustle
and homy and activity in Covent-gaiden nutrket ;
and though many votes were not polled dnring the
day, great numbers of idle itidivoinals flocked to
the hustings to see the humours ‘vhich were ear-
tying on before them. 'J'iil eleven every thing
proceeded very quietly ; hot about that time the
mob hail increased so much, that they became
conscious of their (two strength, anti, like all
mnbs, anxious to abuse it, :fhey kept perpe-
tually tearing the air w it b vociftrar
house for ever," and only altered their cry to
express their detestation nt Mr. Lamb and the
Whigs, Frons the viry tumultuous dispositioo
which tiny evinced, 'au additional number of con-
iv able', were posted its the diffet ent avenues leading-
to the hostinc.,,s, in order to atrold p oteetioo to
those wi.o were going to vote, and to deter the
tahble from the commission of any tiolence.—
dul not observe any thing of pariteolar im-
portance to occur in the interval betweeo 12 and
2 o'clock, except it wet e"that the mob once or
twice pursued certain friends of Mt. Lamb
tvith hootings, and histings, tOol velliogs. tin
Hod down the.warket, and' did not discontinue
their vexatious importunities until the Gentle-
men in qoestion joined in their shouts of ,‘ Hob-
loise tot ever." This mask of their stye-
riot iiy seemed to console the friends of Mr. Rob-
house lor...the defeat which they•vs ere sustaining,
end added fresh impetus to their flagging spirits ;
at the same time it incited them to acts of greater
violence, inasmuch as they •coitceiv, d that the
impunity with which they committed these minor
outrages would also attend them in the commis-
sion of greater atrocities. By two o'clock they
Lad worked themselves up to an ungovernable
state of phrenzy and passion, anti in every avenue
to Cuvent-garden small hands of rioters might he
seen skOmishing either with the constables or with
our another. At the corner of Bedford-street
and Maid,n-lane a short 'battle occw'red between
these factions supporters of-the Rump, and a
small posse of constable's; in which the latter suf-
fered a Oeteat, attended by the loss of their staffs.
'.ll:ey were, however, sliqrtly reinforced by an-
other body, who succeeded' in rescuing their coni-
radeS irom the tory of the mob, antrin turning to
Hight the clamorous members who composed it :
at the same time a great number of the vulgar
part of air. Lamb's 'friends paraded Henrietta-
stir. t , aiih ribhands of light blue and in-
tent in their hats ; thrOugh whom five
butchers, 61 the opposite party, each armed with
a pconirrotil Matiow-hone and cleaver, kept
marching triumphantly, and clashing tiro ii
arms together, as, it in decision of their Tess
ianotinary antagouiSlS. By halt-past two
o'i lot k, the crowd assembled its the market
bail become excesO•e. Every window in
every house was filled whit persons collected to.
,witness the result of the Election, Ali the booths
wet e loaded it h Cusco inet s, from ,whom .the.
bootii•keep:rs exacted no sinall price tor the
wretched accouttooda,,ion which they afforded,
Even the tops of the different sheds in the market
were occupied by individuals, of all ranks, de-
scriptions, and ages.. To a person looking from
the fluvings at the immense number of heads as-
sembled before him, it appeared as if the whole
sit the population of London had left their !lonics,
in order to see into how,narrow a compass they
could possibly contract themselves. Sttcb numbers
these, especially when they consist for the
most part of the lowest and most profligate indi-
viduals in London, seldom meet together with—
out proceediug to some acts of riot .and vio-
lence. Tneir natural disposition to inischief.was
yesterday, however, increased by the following
circumstance, which was the next in order that
attracted ottr attention :—lt 'having been deter-
mined that the chairing of Mr. Limb should take
place immediately after the close of the poll, those
of his friends who were inclined to accompany
the processiou on horseback, were invited by
a hand-bill to 'assemble at the south side ot ,Co-
vent-gardeninarket, at halt-past two o'clock. In
orderto'do firintior to the Representative of their
choice, Lord Nageot, Lord Molynenx, Lords W.
and Sir R. Fergusson, Mr. Lantbton,
broth, r-tte.the Member for Durham, Mr. Byng,,
and several other Gentlemen, cattle to the field of
action, graded by the Earl of Sefton. Uniateare.of
' the exteOt.of clinger to which they exposed them-
'selves, they provided themselves with colours and
cockatles, and Made a- most gaudy display at their
' first srartiog.on their journey. - 'finis vexed' in no
'blight degree the friends of the defeated candidate,
• who, in consequence, vowed revenge, and pre-
piretrto make the victorious party pay deal ly for
their joy and extiltation. In consequence, as soon
as the cavalcade appeared in Covent-garden, they
commenced a 1-iirious attack • on, it, and made a
mostatrocions display of their rancour and ani-
mosity. They pulled down tine colours of their
antagonists, and poured upon their( a continued
shower of mud, stones, and filth of every descrip-
tion. The hats, cockades, and coats of the horse-
men were .soon, bespattered ; and the faces of
souse of them, of. Lord Sefton and Lord W. Rus-
sell particularly, covered with dirt, as with large
plasters. Lord John Russell and Mr. Lltubton,
being enraged at this brutal treatment, drove their
horses forward among the assailants, and with
hearty good-will dealt out several heavy blows
both to the right and left, among the rioters,
with their whips. Their efforts,„ however, were
inffectual, as their weapons of defence'and offence
were almost as weak as their numbets, against the
enormous crowd assembled to oppose them. Be-
sides, as the missiles came Irons the other side of
the scaffolds, they could not reach their aggres-
sors. Alter being thus pelted and insulted, atter
exposing their faces to,disfigurcuaeut, and their

lives "to clanger—alter bearing in victory all the
usual evils and marks of disgrace that attend de-
feat, they were- obliged to retreat, with the mob
at their heels. Some of them were pursued, we
are told, as far as the Haymarket, and even to
Grosvenorrsquare: In -the Haymarket one of the
Gentlemen was thrown from his horse, which ran
off without him. Mr. Lamb, we are told too,
though apprised of _the danger that might attend
a chairing, 'was resolved at first personally to en-
counter it, and only agreed to relinquish his in-
tention, at the suggestion of his friends, after this
dispetsion of the Gentlemen who were to make
part of the procession. lie came upon the hust-
ings a little before three o'clock, and retired as
80611 as he found that he could only obtain a par-
tial hearing. Unwilling that the enthusiasm of
his friends should lead to a breach of the public.
pence, by encountering the brutal violence of the
'partizans of Mr. Hohhouse, he retired to
Cormoittee-room, in Henrietta-street, as
.quietly
'as pos,•ible, anti remained there till past five
o'clock. At five o'clock lie drove from thence
amid a s;milar shower of dit t and mud as had been
pre,iously ilstowt4l nn leis friends. , •
The following l'l4eards were exhibi:etl at dif-
ferent times to the crowd :
