Mn. EDlTOR,—Whenever yon can find room

lowing few observations, you will very much
oblige a Constant Header, by their insertion
Going into St. Paul's the other day, as rny cus-

Of the interior of that edifice, I visited, among
other objects of curiosity, what is seldom shown,
unless particularly asked for, the original design
for a new Cathedral, as given in by Sir CH RiSIM.
PH RR WREN, which stood first in the estimation
of that great man, and is cxh!bited in a Model
made under his immediate inspetiOn : a Work
of exquisite beauty, wheiher cou.tuered only with
regard to the model itself, which is upOna very
large scale, oy in reference to the noble structure
of .which it is a representative in ninimure.—
What then will be thought of the taste'of those
under %0r05... care this valuable design is placed,
When it is known that, from negligence and utter
want of attention to so inimitable a deposit, it
is rapidly falling into decay ; and, if not, soon re-
novated, will, in a few years, be crumbled into a
heap of ruins. 1 have myself, from
,year to year,
witnessed cornices, columns, and other material
parts of the building, dropping- one after the
,other ; and, as it seems nobody's business to pay
the, least regard to it, this magnificent display of
science and genius united, will soon be lost for
ever. This is the more to beiminented, as a very
moderate expeuce would serve to put it into cum.
plete repair, and render it, as it deserVes to be,
the admiration of this and future ages. It has
been frequently observed of late, both in and out
of Parliament, t hat the grand National Monti-
ment about to be raised in commernoration of our

reat 'Victories by Sea and Latta, instead of being
raised in the shape of an arch or column', might,
More appropriately, asinme the form of 'a Church,
where constant 'adoration and thanksgiving xvould
be paid to that great Being who is the only Giver
'of all Victories. A rational and pious 'suggestion ;
and, as it strikes me, well worthy of encourage-
ment. If so, %-vhire could be found a more suit-
able study for such an undertaking than rite noble_
model:, I have mentioned; where simplicity and
magnificence, are combined, and which, as long
es it,is suffered to -exist, will stand on record as
the masterpiece of our great Architect I know

not whether this idea of mine prey be thought

inattention and disregard wiLich is slim'' to a,
work of thil,natnre„, a work so truly 'e‘stiniable,

,no great credit:on tho4e iyhoi duty it is
to 'watch Over, the irecser'vatiOn 'of so 4altable

TENTEI DAY.

The Polling proceeded briskly throngla thE
whole of the day, and at four o'clock the numbers
were as follow
For the non. G. Lamb • • • 2658
Mr. iobhonse • 229
Major Cartwright • •
Mr. iloThuotise said, the clay was a had one for
Westminster, for niore reasons than one. He was
not aware, when be the day before anticipated a
majority, that his expectation had been fixed
upon a holiday, on which .Government could sent!
to the poll the Clerks of all the Public Offices, nOr
that the coalition had been so complete against
him. He supposed those who constituted the
majority of his Opponents were the men called
by that Gentleman the Independent Electors,
and real friends of freedom—(a cry of Lamb's
in a funk ; I see it," raised a great laugh, espe-
cially from Mr. Lamb himsolt).—Thdt name ap-
plied to such persons, implied that the body of
Electors assembled there were the false friends of
freedom, and that their excellent Reptesentative,
Sir Francis Butdett, had been returned by then of
slavish principles.—(Laughter arid applause.)—
Why should those who rescued Westminster from
the state of a Cinque Port, to which it was reduced
in the days of Fox, be branded with the Dante of
tal.,e•triends to that very principle which they had
iiitrodoced ? The Whigs had proved themselves
wholly unworthy of the confi leiter of the people.
What had th.ey dime at the last Election ? At
a time when the Court was exerting all its power
to return Sir M. Maxwell, what had the Whigs
done in the cause of the People ? It might have
been expected that they would second the ef-
forts of the Reformers, for though the Reform
Candidate was nor in the-same regiment will;
the Whig, he always stood upon th, same
side of the House with him Th-y did no-
thing of the kind. Not a finger diet (bey raise
against Ministers, but stood in a lazy neutrally
to see (as was expressed in their own way) what
sort of battle the IVestmiuster Men could make
against the Court. He would ask the Wings whe-
ther, while they were trying to get in one of ihtir
own party, theydid not ahstdin altogether front any
attempt to keep out the Court Candidate.—(Ct ies
in the negative by Air. • Lamb's trieods !)
lie was not arrogant enough to say, that the
labours of the party were directed against
Itirn; they were directed against the paramount
question of Reform, and their great object was
to pull down'the character of Sir F. Burdett.
(Cries of that's the fact)—For that purpose they
had meanly
employedpreveried a who,tritireffiapie),olle tmblyn the
er,r,niinsge
lielrei:cirteca(lf' inclinations, and gave the Honourable
Candidate an opportunity of declaring that their
inestimable Candidate was losing his infiiien,:e.
To say nothing of the modesty that must have
been posiessed by a young Man, who taunted the
Electors with the fall of their favotirite, he could
not help stating, that the person must have been
prompted by air ill-advised feeling, who submhted
to be the instiument in pulling down a faithful
Reprdsentaiiie of 23 years standing.—:(Loud
plause.)—Mr. alluded to the regulation, con-
trary to law and reason, of disfranchising those
who had not paid their taxes. It was, he said,
compelling the people to return those who aimed
at depriving them of one of -their most valuable
privileges.

by the next day, and tell them some Odd thins.
His opponent seemed not exactly at his ease. He
had not proved competent to be his own truth=
peter, and had therefore chosen an old instru-

• ment, on whichplayers of all sides had performed,
but never with success, for the metal was un-
sound, and many of the notes were falso.7--
(Laughter at this rub upon Mr. Thelwall.)
Sir F. Bokniri said, that after the eloquent
address of his friend, he should not detain the
meeting long. He could not congratulate them,
on the advance they bad made that day in the
cause of liberty, but he congratulated the Whig
in not appearing in
_the unseemly company of a
person to whose assistance he had been accus-
tomed on that plink—(Shouts of " Poor Hunt !")
—in the effort to deprive him (Sir F. Buidett) of
the good opinion of his.countrymen. He admit-
led that under a delusion an upright man might
for a time lose the good opinion of the Teeple ; :
