sOMEHRETSIIIRE.--11.cmorm, Juxt 20.

The innkeepers suffered a great disappointment as to the engage-
mente of beds, and they deterinined to make those pay who had
no alternative but to remain all night. The voters for Diekineon
and Sir Thomas Lethbridge seemed to • hive adopted the course
pursued by those Who came forward for Mr. Aunt. They quit-
ted the town immediately after they were polled, fur the purpose
of attending to their duties, with which the contest interfered ;
and at eleven o'clock the town Was in. VA complete tranquillity. as
We remember it to have enjoyed at any period. •
Mr. }Nem having declared in the space beliwe the Court:.
house that he would have upwards of 300 voters up from Fume
this day, a considerable bustle Was expected to place at an early
hour, but all was quiet until after nine o'clock, when the drums
and trumpets of that candidate were heard through the town, and
crier of '4 Hunt for ever," resounded from all parts. He came
into the town accompanied by his friend Oliver Heyward, in a
gig, and the, moment he reached Nortliuven House, where the
troops are usually marshalled, he ordered the voters to fall in two
by two, and march to the Court-house, fOr the purpose of taking
the oath against bribery.
At ten o'clock the Sheriff took his seat in the Court-house,
and Sir Thome Lethbridge and son, and Mr. Hunti-sonn fol-,
loived. The-voice of Mr. Hunt was heard long before he was.
seen. He suspected that his voters would meet with unfair treat-
ment, as rare' had, he said, been taken the day before to exclude
as many of• them as possible• from the Court-house, in order to,
smother his exertions for the people of Somerset.
The Under-Sheriff' called :upon each of the pull-clerks, and
gave the necessary directions. One of them, named Baker, was
objected to by Mr. Hunt, 'spoil the ground that be kept the
post-office.
Baker (looking up at Mr. Bunt).--That's another falsehood.
I keep no post-office. -
Mr. Hutvr.—Mr. • Sheriff, this is the effect of the disgraceful
conduct pursued yesterday. 'Re language used by the other can-
didates has been imitated by all their low dependents. I said
yesterday that the well-dreseed rabble required to he checked.
Why is this permitted ? • •
••' • • -
• Baker said he kept no post-office ;• and repeated that Mr.
Hunt had asserted a falsehood.

Mr. Huier.—Ay. What are we to expect from such rascals—
from fellows who are dragged up to make a Member, whether
they will or no?
Sir THOMAS LFTHIOt MOE (turning round and looking full in
Mr. Hunt's face) -What is that yosi say, Sir?
Mr. Hum.-1 say that we could have expected no better treat-
ment than this from fellows who imitated the blackguard conduct
of their employers. Mr. Sheriff; you ought nut to permit the
well-dressed to disgrace the county.
Sir Time. Ltripeitinux (to Mr. llunt).—Why do you not
behave as you ought? I am determined, whatever may be the
consequence, that the• county of Somerset shall not insulted
by you.
Mr. Ilim.—lnsulted,by tne ! the county is insulted and die-
graced by you. This fellow (pointing to the poll-clerk) takes his
cue from you. The well-dressed rabble cry out, in answer to
every charge, "'Tis false-16i a lie—you lie." They follow the.
example set by you. Dickinson and Lethbridge talk of manners
was this a proof of it ?
Sir T. Letit nit Youvre insulting the freeholders.

The Shrills's. regretted that such language had 1.44,11 used, and
expressed i hope that it. would terminate at (ince, and that the
bounces of the day should be proceeded with.
Sir T.: Leznoutriast bowed to the Sheriff; and •
Me. Howl, said be eliould, without'hisitationi submit to the
suggestion of that officer.
The Ilitnive-Snientrrthen called upon the vOters to come file-
ward end take the oath against bribery and corruption. It was,
he said, upon that occasion they had assembled in the court-house
that morning, Mr. Hunt having desired that every voter should
be put to-that test. A moldier of voters, who evidently came to
poll for' Mr. Hunt, then stood forward—they declared their
readiness to take the oath.

Mr. HuNT---Ay, they will do it without hesitationthey will
do it without quivering the lip. There is not a man in thatgroup
opposite to you (pointing to the Huntites) who is not determined
to give a conscientious vote—there is hot a Slave amongst doom.
What do you think of that, Sir Thomas?
Sir T►►OMay smiled again, but made no observation.
The UHnnx-4rta►ttrr here suggested to Mr. Hunt the pro-
priety of his (Mr. Hunt's) furnishing a list of his voters, in order
to facilitate the business, which otherwise would be much pro-
tracted.

Mr. do not know the names +my of those gentle-
men—they are no slaves--(looking ensitemptuously at Sir Tim-
mas),—they come here voluntarily, they are not like your depend.
ente. t don't keep a list of them as I. would of my dorsi...—.
(Laughter and murmurs.) Mine are all honest men, and come
here to take their oaths without quivering lips.
A Voter.—We are as honest as Sir Thomas, and are ready to
take the oath.

Mr. littNr.—There are honest fares, Sir Thomus, no quiver-
ing liere.-41.aughter-4n which Sir Thomas joined.) It was
said yesterday by one of you, that no honest man would vote for
Hunt.

A Voter.—Any man who says I am not an honest man is a
rogue.

-[Here an attorney made some observations with respect to ob-
jections made the day before by Mr. Hunt, to some voters, who
presented themselves on the aide of the other Candidates.]
Mr. Hurry (addressing the ottorney.),..--You refused yesterday
some votes for me, which ought not to have been objected to.
The Attorney.—That is false.
Mr. Horm—Ay, there you go--4here is another proof of the
effect of the blackguard conduct of yesterday. Every low dirty
dependent upou Lethbridge or Dickinson adopts this insolent
language in imitation of their contemptible employers.
Sir THOMAS LETHIIHIOOII,—The conduct of this person is
most outrageous and disgraceful.
Mr. HeNT.—Can the sheriff deny that sun and Dickinson
made use of language yesterday which would have disgraced the
lowest rubble in the loivest pbt-house in the county?
Sir T. LETHRRIDON looked sternly in Hunt's litre, and ssid--
o This conduct is not to he endured—this iodieidual is most
grosidy insulting file eotinty."

blr. lltivr.—Theist are freemen, they are not di apled up ys
i'our miserable dependents arc to vote; they come up without
ming paid. I neither pay thou unr their expenem
Sir T. lATICARIDGE—Every Word you speak is an insult to
'reeholders of the comity of Somerset.

Mr. Fluwr--You bad the audacity to charge we with want of

you, in any way you please.
Sir T. Lrinualtma mailed, and turned away his bead con-
, The StmatrV-1 ant extremely sorry that the lotiittess has
been interrupted so frequently by ~altercations of this kind, and

you tiptv,i4y, shay language is gokaktuough, however grata it way

be. If every dirty poll-clerk and every dirty attorney is allowed
to say " You lie !" to a candidate who is doing his duty, how
prettily this contest may be expected to go on. Your example
has led to this.

Sir T. LETHBRIDUt.—It is useless to address the language
which is current amongst gentlemen to such a person. I shall
throw myself upon the protection of the Sheriff.
The SHERIFF, who certainly acted without the slightet ap-
parent bias towards any of the candidates, begged mOit.eerneetly
that these interruptions might not be continued.
One of the voters for Mr. Hunt, after having taken the oath
against Irrihery, -said, K We are honest men, and. we vote for an
honest man. We are as honest at he is" (looking towards Sir
Thomas,)
/dr. HI:WT.—You are honest into, and you have already fixed
the name of rogues upon thole 'who' called you otherwise. I don't
call them so. • .. -
The voters then left the Court-house for the purposiof going
to the several booths, where they have been appointed to examine
the voters. The polling" then commenced, but went on rather
lazily.'
At. be o'clock the poll-books were closed. The numbers
were—,

- .
'Dickinson - - - 687
• . Lethbridge - 682
Hunt - - - 148
Ilefore the state of the poll was made known, a most extraor-
dinary scene took place in the Court-house.
Mr. Hinvr drew a letter from his pocket and said, that as Mr.
Meseiter„the treasurer of the county, was present, he would read
it foi• the information of the freeholders. Ile had made several
statement*. relative to the county-rates, and. Mr. Messiter's con-
duct, and this. letter was, confirmatory of those statements.
It had: been mentioned . that no hone*, man would vete for him.
-Xow, bow happened it that ea many persons had come under
the stigma of those who, said so this very day? ,He could prove
that the.treasurer was, not qualified, to fill the situation be held,
and this letter woold,prore the fact.-.*(Laud tumult,. and ;rice
of " Read the yams r• give us the name first.") • . •
Mr. Host said, they should bear the name after they: had
beard the letter read. (The noise of disapprobation and tumult
was overpowering.)
Mr. PCg3INVI, stood upon the table and said, " I beg you
will beer out,this pitiful fellow, and I shall answer him presently."
(Laughter, deem and kiesee.)
Some persons who wore the favours of Sir T. Lethbridge ctied
out, ",DOWn with Hunt! Down with the vagabond!"
Uurer..-!-" There's,a cowardly rascal for, you. That fellow
would liot dare to lift his hand to me, and he calls to others to do
so. What a dirty. coward !"—(Great clamour.)—All that Mes-
liter can say is that 11k.
Mr., Mnsiarta.....-I did say so. I can prove all that you have
said is false-4 a lie.
Mr. Hum then again attempted to read the letter, but again a
clamour prevented him. The Sheriff, however, procured silence,
having obtained the assurance that the whole of the letter should
be road.. Mr. Hunt then read the letter, which contained some
insinuations against Mr. Meseiter, and declared, that from a
variety of circumstances, that gentleman was not fit to be tree.•
surer of the..county. The letter way subscribed "J. Money,"
and the moment it was concluded the strongest indignation was
expressed by Mr. Messiter's friends, and corresponding ap-
plause by Mr. Hunt's.
:The Sneerer said, the reason haul consented to have theletter
read was, that he understood Mr. Hunt to have described it as•
public matter, and es referring to the subject on which they were
assembled. •
Hun mid it bad the strongest reference to what was
going forward in the county, Mr. Masher having constantly a
great deal of the county money in his hands.
Several of Mr. Messiter's friend* rose the moment the letter
was concluded, and. asked Mr. Hunt far the letter. ,
" no," said Mr. Hunt, "111, not lot • you. twit t I know
you too well ; you have had fifty things against toe, and I never
asked yon for originals or for copies...-(Loud shouts).—l have no
objection to let the Sheriff read the letter, if he'll promise to re-
turn it to MC " . _ _

The Carteinly; I shall return it to you."
Mr. Hunt then banded the letter to the Sheriff, who gave it to
the Under Sheriff to read. Applications were then made to a
reporter in Court to teke note, Qithe contents but he refused to,
iliwn any thing to do with the tmeiness. The Under Sheriff begun
to read :the letter in e very slow =lleum and several persons took
_votes as he proceeded.

The SUel.lsl, should net break .his prima's! to
Mr. Hunt. The latter must he wad as letters were usually road.,
..—(Loud cheers from ill parts of the Court).
After the letter was, read a aeeond time, Mr. White (one of
Mr. Messiter's Mends) demanded a copy of it. The object was,
be admitted, that proceedings might be instituted against the
calumniator.
Mr. HUXT took back the !etas., but he saw no .occasion for
giving 11. copy of it,.....(l..aughter, and loud disapprobation. ).—He
then said that Mr. Meeaiter would mystify the freeholders upon
thiesubject, as be had mystified them upon the accounts. He
ended by congratulating hie friends upon the backwardness of the
friend; .of the other eandidates..,(Laugliter and cheers, cad
hisses.)
Mr. Meseireen, said twit no huh shown already that all
that the coutstaptikile fellow ricer him had said was a tissue of
falsehood.
Mr. Hurr.......Ay, ay, now for the .gentleman. --(Laughter. )
A Gentleman, who stood upon the ,table, said " Hunt, you
ruffian, you know that sli you have been saying and reading, is
false. You know it, Hunt. go over the water with you,
where you invited us yesterday,"
Mr. HUNT--13,14 ! 43! ban !......(Roars of laughter. )
Mr. MESMER said, it had been (Omitted that his accounts

One of Cobbett's sous advanced to the illayor just before the
coinmeocerueut of the pa, and preiented to him a protest against
his proceedings. The mayor took it, and put it iu his pocket
without 'lying st word.
After Cobbett came ott the, huttingt• be turned to some ladies

net* were trimmed with orange ribauds (Mr. Stanley's colour)
instantly grinned a ghastly smile of familiarity, and taking off his

'the hoies of course, took no notice of his affe salute. This

1,.$ Who, 4vcrpUivered by the joint rudeneto of the ruffien and

the rabble, shrank back from the hustings in confusion, and soon
after disappeared..
After the numbers had been declared, Cobbett addressed the
crowd from the hustings.
'.Gentlemen,.-You are all aware of the triple alliance that
hasheen formed between the other Candidates, and that the ob-
ject :of tiketelliaiice is to keep me out of Parliament ; but perhaps
yen are not equally acquainted; with the rewards they ate to re-
ceive for that e.fausive alliance—this act of preventive service.—
(Laughter.)--Two only of them can receive their reward here
by becoming your snis-representatives, but the whole three are
to bt rewarded ru London—(hisses)—and I'll tell you what the re-
wards are. The Honourable and much-spitten-upon Mr. Stan-
ley, being such a favourite with the ladies, is to be appointed
Master of the Ceremonies at the Opera-house in London, at the
balls to be given there for the collection of money for the relief of
the starving people, who, _hoe been •robleed.of , their diluters by
the odious taxesayers,—(Shotite of applause.)4.llis ensign of, of-
* will be ahanner, bearing the, living. skeleton of a starved
weaver; and his dein). dress is to be a long large robe of oil-skin,
wrapped around saint in such a manner, that the spittle which the
ladies will shower, upon him may not,penetrete his hide.--(Rears
of laughter, applause, and hisses.)--Next comes. Mr, Wood's re.
ward; Mr. Wood, I understand,, is to he matte High Cemmis-
siOner of, the Court of Cunt; the duties of his office will be to
fatten the, already too fat negroes, and. to feed the. hungry white
slaves; with what, thinkye? breed and beer ? No, Gentlemen, with
squibs—with pane, ink, and paper.—(Laughter).—The orator of
the Courtia to be Mr. Rushton, the Liverpool newspaper Man—,
the travelling rhetorician of Lanea,shire.—(Laugliter),—And, that
the humanity of. the Court rosy he equal to its utility, the Secre-
tary is to be Mr. Henry 131ackinirst (an attorney employed by
Mr. Wood.—Laughter).—Then for Captain Barrie's reward....
Gentlemen, the Captain, I am informed, is to be made an Irish
Peer, vrith remainder in case of failure of issue—that is, if he
should have no children to whom he could leave his title and in-
terest in this borcugh—with remainder to his, highest-bred bull,
drig,; or, young Horrocks, the, Tory cotton-spinner.,.,(Huzsitts).
.-}Now, gentlemen, for serious facts :—I have received this day,
from London, a letter from an eminent lawyer,,one of the highest
law authorities in the kingdom, to whom I transmitted, through
my attorney, a statement of all the plans of our opponents to pre-
vent your voting, and all their contrivances to turn a
minority . into a majority. I'll nail you his opinion in
lair words—" If the allegations, contained in these docu-
ments be true—(Several electors, 'r Aye, if, if, that's the point")
election is not worth a straw."—.(Shouting from the
crOwd).—Now, gentlemen, these allegations will be proved—the
*sequence will be, that this election will turn out not to be
wiirth a straw.--(lltrzza. !)—I am further advised, gentlemen,
net to give any conntenance—not to do any act, which could
imply my assent to the plans and contrivances of our enemies ;
untiring except to provide for you protection of peeson and free ite-
ms to the poll-booth. I have another piece of information for
yeu--a man, of the name of William 13Iacksdale, states, thathe
was offered this morning a bribe—a sovereign-a-if he would vote
for Stanley and Barrie. ' There's the man in the crowd there ;
he is ready to prove it; put him up here, before the face of the
corrupt and corrupting tyrants. (Here a man, hiving been
heisted ou the shoulders of the crowd, and placed on the lust-
irws, said something, but was assailed by the friends of the
o4aer candidates with such a storm of hisses and booting as
drowned every syllable. Cobbett's mob expressed their rage by
furioui yells, and the Court broke up hastily in the midst, of the
napst discordant uproar.)
The candidates having returned to their hotels, harangued their
respective eupporters from the windows.
, Capt. BAR/Lir was just on the point of commencing dais speech,
when Mr. Wood and his friends, preceded by banners, music, and
the other appliances of processional exhibitions, were seen sp.,-
proaching. The street before the Captain's inn was filled hy a
dense, compact multitude, anxious to hear the eloquence of their
favourite candidate. The stationary crowd instantly showed signs
of indignation at what they considered an insulting design on the
Pert of Mr. Wood's friends to disturb their array, and drown the
Captain's speech by their music. Capt. Barrie instantly spoke to
his friends, expressed his wish to suspend his address to them
until Mr. Wood's procession should have passed, and implored
them, in the racist earnest and anxious terms, to make a way for
Mr. Wood's party, to abstain from any expression of hostility,
and to receive them with respectful silence. The standing mill.
titude accordingly drove back in the greatest order front the
middle of the street, and opened a way, through which Mr. W.
(leicarried) arid his friends, passed unmoleited. Though it is
well understood; that the oenteat forthe- second place lies between
,CStit. Barrie and Mr. Wood, not * sign of angry feeling escaped
the partisans of the opposing nandidatea., ,
'.Captainlianans recap ad. at the wintlew, *mitt bustl taticlope
mations. Gentlemen, allow sate, iu the nisi place, to thank you
for the tranquillity with which you let Mr. Wood'. friends pave
through your ranks ; you could not have given a higher proof of
your good sense. 1 told you in my last address (Saturday), that
I thould be at the head pf the poll to-day, and so I would, Gen-
thirnen, but for a trick that was played this morning—a trick,
one of the shabbiest, dirtiest, that ever was resorted to in the
course of any deletion; and this the more unexpected, the more
disgraceful, inasmuch as it had been mutually understood be-
tween the three gentlemen candidates--(Prom the crowd, " Not
meaning Cobbett, of course")—that in our conduct towards,each
other, whether in our speeches, squibs, or other electioneering
measure., we 'should act fairly, honourably, .and like gentlemen.
Hew much surprised, then, must I have been, et truth a trick on
the part of Mr. Wood's friends. The knowledge of this trick
will, I hope, ;excite yost to become more Witte, more vigilant,
and incessant in your exertions ter my return ; that you will not
let yourselves be cheated, tricked out of your rights, and tile out
of, my election.--.(Loud cheering.)
,Captain had scarcely concluded, when the music of
CObbett'a procession was heard, and Cobbett himself was seen
coining omvard, standing in an open carriage, and bowing to the
shouts of his attendant rabble, and to the ladies, who did not bow
to;him. An indignant shout of defiance suddenly burst from
Captain Barrie's friends, and was as quickly echoed back from
Cobbett's side.

-1 - -
COBBETT was in the carriage surrounded by hie mob—his snob
Ives enclaved on each side by Captain Barrie* friends--the Cap-
eskin was safe in his hotel. The first effort of hie pertizans would
be! a personal attack on Cobbett—the result of the litt*ck
have been doubtful, but it may have been dingeroni too.—
Cobbett, aware of his ticklish position, restrained the furious
tendencies of his party. Captain Barrie addressed his, and
directed his staff men to open a way for the procession •of
the Radicals. The mob checked themselves, each afraid of the
other ; the Radicals were the more numerous, but the Tories en-
clnsing them on both sides, had the advantage of position-..Cob-
bett and his patty passedthrough the Tory harriers, as he called
them, and the eifair was confined totlie most cordial hissing, hoot-
ing and partial jostling, and the usual incipient symptoms of
popular commotion. When the tumult subsided, Captain Cob..
quit was loudly called for—popped his head out of the window,
and harangued hie friends and admirer, something in this style :
Gentlemen of Preston—The Radieals tell us we want a re-
form of our Censtitiition, and a renovation of our institutions.
bit, Gentlemen, what does Mr. Randolph say—Mi. Randolph,
a ecnator; of the United States of America, an ardent admirer of
hies native Republic and its Government, and an orator second in
elonitence to none but that statesman whom Mr. Cohbett calla the
saticy Canning? When a gentleman the other day, in Lietypeol,
toasted ' 'The ester natione---England and America' what was Mr..
Randolph's obeervation or answer? We (America)ere not worthy
to he called your sister; from you (England) we hive copied our
beet, laws—our noblest institutions ; from you we have borrowed
our Trial by Jury—our Habeas Corpus—our representation of the
'people ; we are yet behind you in the arts and sciences, and other
orintments of social life; we are not, therefore, your sister--your
equals you are our parent, and we are but your respectful and
grateful offspring,--(Cheers.)-31r. Cobbett has made a very
pleasant speech this evening, against what he Calls the triple alli-
atom ; he beer heard from London, it stems, that Mr. Stanley is to
be pule Master of the Ceremonies at the Opera House ; Mr.
WOud, High Commissioner of the Court of Cant ; • and nay friend,
Capt. Barrie, en Irish Peer. Now, as Mr. Cobbett has been so in-
duetrioue in obtaining situations for us, I don't see why we should
not return the compliment, and try to get one; or him. In that.
