had been wholly unaccounted for.—(Cries of ". Shame !" auc
immense tumult.

Mr. MrssrrEst—l say that you have asserted a falsehood

Mr. HUNT—Every culprit declares that the charge against him,
'Whatever it may be, is false. Did you ever know of a man, who
' upon being breught before a Jury and tried for a felony, did not
deny lila guilt ?_(°' Never, •mever.")--,Sir Tommy and some of
his friends had talked contemptuously of the blacking trade in
Which be was engaged—(a laugh)—and they had said a great
deal about the necessity of possessing landed property as an indis-
pensable requisite in the. representation of a comity. Now,- .God
knew, that he belieVed that not one of the three of them (Sir T.
Lethbridge, Mr. Dickinson, and himself) was overburdened with
riches.—(Laughter.)—He believed, however, that he was himself
the best of the three, fur of the little property he possessed he had
the title deeds. They never had been mortgaged yet, which !he
! was sorry to say`Was not the, case of his worthy brother midis
dates.—(Loud laugliter.)
Mr. Moor:sole rose in evident pain from his chair, and de-
viated that this statethent of Mr. Hunt's was, with respect to
him, a most outrageone inisrepresientetioo,as not one atom of his
estate had ever been mortgaged. (Cries of " shame," and great
•tumult.)
Mr. lit' NT, as Soon as the noise had subsided, said he had
been assured by common rumour, that that was the case ; but
certainly report was ohm a liar, and, indeed, it had often been-
pro% etl so in hie own case. He then adverted to his trade of
blacking-manufacturer, and be would, he said, speak a little more
upim that 'subject than he bedbeen in the habit of speaking, were.
it not that it would be said the( he advertised his material at no
expertee ivlvotever.—(Laughter arid hisses, mixed with applause.)
He knew that, some of the well-dressed rabble who hissed hini
dealt nut, what he sold by wholesale, in half-pinta by retail. • In.
Axbridge he had been charged o ith the crime of blacking-making
hy orie of the honest trade attorney.—.,(Loud laughter.)_
His reply wee, that the mayor of the town, who happened to he
e grocer, Wee a blacking-seller, and, as Fate would have it, he
found hid worship down in Tait book., fur a few do2en bottles.—
(Laughttr, and cries
,of " We'll have no blacking.") He saw
-among the enemies to blacking Mr. Stuckey, a dealer in coals,
'(A laugh.)—He was not such a fool as to object to a man's trade,
when it left no mark or brand upon his honour dr humanity ; but
he thought it very odd that the pot 'should he the first to ery out
to the kettle.-.-(Roars of laughter, in which Mr. Stuckey,•who
is a gentleman of large fortune, and, we understand, the proprietor
of extensive real mines, joined.)—Hut Mr. Mckinnon, one of the
candidates, had all his profits from au article of a much blacker
dye--a(Mingled cheers and hisses)--the bl—dy West. hulls black-
ing.—(Great emotion was perceptible in the crowd, and Mr.
Dickinson appeared greatly agitated, sod shook his head, but did
not speak a word.)—l say these gentlemen (pointing to his oppe-
nents) deal much mote in the blacking, or rather in the, black
art, for it has its source in the rotator of all evil, than I do. The
bread this man (to Mr. Dickinson, who sat next to hint) eats,
the drink he drinks,. the clothes he wears, are all steeped in the
blond of his fellow-creatorec —:(Expressions of horror, and hisses
and applauses intermixed.)—Mr. If. then made some statement.
to show what dependence could he placed upon Sir T. Lethbridge.
Upon one occasion Ls went, accompanied by an odd fellow named
Parkins—(A laugh)--..to Sir Thomas,• and showed him a peti-
tion„ whicirthe county !wished to have preeented to Parliament.
Well, he promised to support the petition ; hie Parkins suspected
him sincer:ty, and they waited to lee the issue. Tip got Sir
Thomas, " I am about," said he, " to present a petition which
has been passed by a large. majority of my constituents. I must
edd, that I totally disapprove of every syllable in it."—(Lsughter.)
—Perkins started op il) the gallery,. and in so loud a tone that
the whole Ilouse heard him, cried, " What a liar !"—(Cheers
and laughter.)—Mr. Hunt then set down amidst immense cheer-
big end cries of " Hunt for eves !!"! A gland deal of hissing and
liirnalling, and laughter also, ercompanied the termination of hi*
address.

Mr. LIVEHARIDOIt (a fine young man, the son of Sir Thomas),
then stood fbrwurd. He appeared to be much agitated, and
begged to be allowed to say a felt, words under those unparalleled
circumstances. Had Mr. Hunt been qualified to represent them,
it could not be endured that that individual should be elected, as
he came fug ward backed by such a wan as Mr. Creswell.—..(r..ond
tumult.)

had to say against hint? lie Waft of as honourable a stock as that
of the Lethbridges.

DURIIANI COVNTY,

Yesterday (14th of June) having been appointed for the eleC-
tion of two Knight' of the Shire to represent this County in' Par-
figment, Jour/ Gianni LAMBTON, Esq. and the Hon. WILLIAH
JOHN FitEDfLIIICK VANIC Powterr,..accomptinied by their respite-
tive friends, entered the County Court about 10 o'clock in the
Morning, and took their seats on the bench:
The usual Proclamation having been made, the writ an)l art
against bribery having been read by J. Griffith, Etri. the Deputy
Sheriff, and the oath to decide without undue influence having
been administered to the High Sheriff; by General Aylmer,
The Hum said—" His fflajrNsty's writ, which has
just been read to you, will explain the cause of our being

bled here. fam not aware that any apposition will by offered to
the return of the Hon. Gentlemen who last represented this
county."

GEORGIC. BAKTI, Esq. of Elmore, begged to propose J. G.
Limbkm, Fag, ran fit and proper mono to represent thje county.

fit HttowoßTri WlLLtAltsnx seconded the nomination.

J. G. ',Samos, Earl. rose amidst considerable cheering, and
some marks of disapprobatiOn. The moment, he observed, had
at length arrived most dear to his feelings, eince it enabled a le-
presentative,to meet his constituents, to show that he had not
failed in his duty to them, end the high character he ought to
hold. The times Were noti, very different from the period when
he last appeared before them. That was a period of very greet
excitement; when various Atte Were pissed by the Legislature,
hostile to the liberties of the people. The Ham Corpus Act
had been suspended ; a Bill had been passed for forcibly entering
a dwelling-house to search for arms, though before allowed by law
to keep then f; and, above all, an Act was PPled restrain that
valuable privilege, the right of laying petitions at the feet of Par-
liament and the Throne. Mr. Canning, an illustrious intlividOal,
as far al great talents could render a man illustrious, fortuu;toir
now formed a part of the admiiiiatretion, lie it well aware that
he has not the support of the Tory aristocracy, that his depend-
ence ie on the minds of the people, not on the high Church
party.
It, was to his liberal policy we must attribute our shrinking from
the Holy Allies, that the Alien Act has been abolished, and that
other laws against the interests .cif the people have heel* repealed.
Therefore it was he had given his testimony in their favour, there
Ws it was he applauded the line of conduct they had pursued. lie
