Much had been said about the mushroom votes on his (the Colo-
nel's) side, but he, to day, in the Assessor's Court, lighted upon
a little covey of seventeen t.f them on the other side. He- con-
cluded by thanking his friends for their exertions in his behalf.
'Mr. Blt UCIIAM was received with loud cheers, which were
'repeated frequenfly. during his speech. He spoke as follows :
•Gentlemen, it is necessary that I should first begin by, setting.
right a natter, respecting which a considerable mistake has, I
mulerstand, been occasioned. (Mr. H. here paused for a mo-
ment in consequence of some noise in the crowd, and a fellow
called out to him " Go on." To which he said " I shall go on as
I clierise ; not as'You "choose, my friend.") 'ln "consequence of our
Counsel having made an arrangement to accompany the Counsel
on the other side when they would both return to London,
by a most extraordinary mistake on the part of my learned friend
the Yellow Counsel, be went, or some one fronu him, and inform •
ed the Yellow Committee, that be was going sway to-night, the
election being 'over ; alarm friends the Yellows being very anxious
to have done with it, as you may well believe, instantly swallowed
this winds, as if it Was a mushroom-button—(laughter)—bolted
it whole, and began, - as I ton told, drawing in their flags, and
dispersiwg their band.; nay, even went so far as to shut up their
public bouses.---,(Cheers and laughter.)—Now I wish so well to
our friends the Yellowei I mean the Yellows io that corner (point-
ing to those in front of Col. Lowther), who I know wish in their
hearts fin ill to me, inasmuch as I am the best friend they have,
for if it was 'not for me, I do not know' how they would occupy

themselves to-day, being sure that they would not be here at Ate
cost end charge of the Lowthcrs, as they are; and therefore •
believing that the thing which would give the most sincere pain
to them would he to those Yellows on the hustings (pointing
to Lord and. Colonel Lowther) the greattet satisfaction—
namely, to hear that they would sea no more of the here—
After some observations upon the majority of his opponents,
which, he contended, was made up entirely of these mushroom
votes, and was only nominal and unreal," the Hon. Gent, con-
chided by offering to give up the contest, if,. upon reference to
any two respectable scrutineers, it could be shown front the poll
books of the last election, that there was not a majority of the
resident freeholders of the county in his (Mr. B.'s) favour.—(This
indication of a disnesition to retract, however blight, was not well
received by,the crowd.)
Colonel Low'rnaa said,..cheeringi with his hat ia his hand,
t', Let's have nn compromise, my, gods,---let us . stick to each other
as we HMI, tumid upon the poll.",---(Loud and general chverieg.)
- Mr. BaotatuAat (alluding to the noise)--This does Hot look
as if, the, public-house's have been shut to-day. Then, Gentle-
men, (to his friends) we go on, if you please, to-morrow, us

part, dangerous as it is—(A loud laugh)---I would rather he
exposed to the wit of the Colonel, than to the jockeyship
of his Noble 13rother.,i For he really, by the arrangements which
he had made on the present occasion—of whiCh a word anon,
has jockeyed us out. of every means of conveyanca.—(Here a
great clamour was raised amongst the Yellows.)-011, never

hand disguised as gentlemen, but others clad in their natural co-
lours—their livery, which they call their uniform. No wonder
that they mike a uoiao —they are hired professional noisy-Makers.
(Laughter, and booting from the Yellows,)—But I shall say a
word with repect to the excellent wit and waggery of the Colo-
nel, who does not call these votes mushrooms, but funguses.—
(Laughter.)—Why any good Man: belonging to those Itteehanies'
Institutes, of which the Noble Lord spoke so well, and admitted
himself a subscriber, could tell the Colonel that a mushroom was
a fungus; so that you see lie has yet his lesson to learn, that
his next joke may be more accurate: Now to the busi-
ness of the day ; or, rather, as soon is that drunken, noisy
collier, shall have done, bellowing, we will come to the business

of the day.---(A fellow in the crowd was very Clamorous )--I am
not the man to care for their majority of 500 votes.—_l don't care
for their majority to-day-,-nay, nor though to-morrow they
should increase it to 500 more.-+(Cheers. '6 You're the fellow.")

I hope I shall have the pleasure to meet yon to-morrow, when I
shall make some more remarks. If the poll closes, these remarks
will apply to the "No Popery" psl►er, hot, if not, I will make
some ren►arks introductory to that declaration.--(Loud cheers.)

This threat has produced a great sensation, and the disclosures
of to.morrow are looked to with great anxiety by the friends of
the parties concerned. Mr. Brougham has:said that he would
make Saturday " settling day," and he threatens to pay Off all his
balances with a vengeance. We have just heard that the chairs are
ordered for Lord Lowther and his-brother,..to be ready at eleven
o'clock to.morrow.

The following has been handed to us :4
E" This is servitude
To serve the unwise."

Yellows who're by Lowther
Yellows who're by coutj.act fed ;
Welcome every loggerhead
'l'o your stall and straw.

Now's the time when you may pour
Ale and brandy every hour •
Down your throats, and mutely scour
The streets and break' the laW,

Who, when ale is foaming high,
vora, to drink to Slavery,
Who cares aught for liberty ;
Let him vote, for Brougham!

By the, grog we're (Lilly swilled,

CHICHESTER SATURDAY. CLOSE. Or THE POLL.—The CM-
test for the County closed this afteppou, by the election of the two
late Representatives, the final numbers being—
. W. Burrell, Esq., - - 2,115 I Sir Godfrey Webster - 1,187
E. J. Curteir, Esq. - 2,049 I

Though Sir Godfrey Webster has not obtained a seat fur the
County, he has done wonders—he has polled, without being at a
farthing expence, nearly 1,200, in which number were about one
thousand plunipm. A considerable sum of money was offered to
him at Hastingi, to be at his service, provided he would pledge
himself, to stand for the County at the next election, whiCh we
hear the worthy Baronet declined, declaring itsto•be his intention
not to relinquish hilt friends at Chichester. We understand that
the Chichester Committee, in the interest of Sir Godfrey, have a
plan under consideration, whereby to enable ari independent mar,
at a future vacancy, to rescue the county from the thraldom in,
which" the aristocracy has lately thown an inclination to keep it.

To make the subject intelligible to every one, I, will give a
brief sketch of the geography of Colombia !---That Republic is,
or wee, composed of a union of_ what hail been three separate
gtwernitients, or great political divisions, when under the King
of Spain ; the fitst Carstens, being the Atlantic provinces of
Terra Firma ; second, New Granada, or . the Vice-Royalty of
Sasital4, having an arm to the Atlantic, and the bulk in the
central countries of Bogota, as far 1111 the main-chain of the Andes ;
awl third, Quito, the western declivity of the great Cordillera to

smiun, which has now ceased to exist. The success of General
Passt's enterprise appears to use Certain, having the whole people
with bins from motives of interest, aupptirted; by habits, and even
by prejodices. Caraccas _could not possibly be well governed,
from Bogota. Nothing short of Bolivar's being a native of the
former place could have brought them to wake such a sacrifice of
-interest and -prejudices. Weida, the immense distance between
the two places, tie difficulties from locality and climate impede
travelling, so as to render communication between the sea-board
and Bogota ►mpracticable to any useful purpose..

And to prepare the nerves of our City friends against a fresh
shock, I will now gently tell them that the Colombian Republic
is ' destined, ere long, to. undergo anntlier".attiputation in her
western extremity, Quito; which country must; of necessity,
follow the example of 'Careens, being still more unconnected in
'interests with Bogota, The good peoplanf'Qiiitn could lay their
grievarices oftener in the year, before tho,limperor of China, in
Pekin, than before the President of Colombia, in Bogota. it is
utterly impossible that countries so. disjointed in nature can keep
together—they must 'all return to their old limits of jurisdiction,
and neither will lose by the separation ; nn the contrary, they will
manage their airs` better.
