little dismay at the state of the poll. The result
of that day carried but little dismay to his mind.
Looking over- the number that polled for him
within the last two days he found they exceeded
the nionber that polled the pievious days of the
last Election, and yet that Election was gained
by him. From the report of his friends he knew
that a decided majority of the Electors were in his
favour, and the temporary superiority obtained by
Mr. Hohhouse was owing to the excessive exer-
tions of that Gentleman's frihrds, whilst for rea-
sons not necessary to explain, his frietols had been
slack ; but they were now beginning to exctt them*
selves; he was assured that they would hear his
call, trod that they would not suffer a Candidate
against the wishes of the Electors to succeed.
—(Here the Honourable- Gentleman met some
interruption.)--He -was son y, he said, that he
could not speak loud, as he_ u:as afflicted with
a severe cold.—(Cries of " Put on
.your hat,
put on your list, Mr, Lamb.")—Mr.
having complied with the wishes of the crowd,
proceeded. He said there was one topic to which
he felt it necessary to allude.- He regretted that
necessity, because it would bring forward- the
name of a Gentleman not present. Mr. Hob-
house had told them that he had been committed
by the House of'Commons, without a ,heariog„,
and wirirOot their knowledge (by which he meant,
he supposed, their legal knowledge) that he was
the author of the pamphlet. %Vizi' regard to the
first assertiou, he would state,' that a friend of
Mr. Hobhouse went down to the Horse, to
state :that lie was the author of the pamphlet.—
The matter, then, was between his niend nod
himself. lie (Mr. Lamb) certainly understood
that it was not his wish to address the Horse
—he thought that his language in the House
would be only throwing !leads before swine. If
Mr. flobhouse wanted to be heard at the bar of
the !loose, and it' he had exit, essed that wish,
Ile had no doubt that he would be brought
and every fair opportunity given to him by the
• House.l----(Cties of " No, no; there was a com-
plete set made at him.")—Mr. flobbouse, in fact,
wanted to nurse his committal, in order tomake an
impression on the electors in his favour.—(Loud
hisses.)—llc wished tonrake his imprisonment a
stepping stone for his election.—(Continued
probation ),--Mr. Hobhonsesvas a classic man—he
had read that. in the ancient 'republics—in aucietat
Rome, the Temple of Honour was only to he arm
tained by passing through' the Temple al Virtue.
But Mr. Hoblionse seemed to think that the best
avenue to the place -of their Representative was
through a prison,--(Violent ex pi essions of dis-
approbation.)—The lion. Gentleman remained for
some time anxious to continue his addicss, but at.
length retired.
Nit. Hoarroose, was about to commence his
address, when—

LAMB begged to say a word or two,' He
wevdd remind the Electors of the fact, that he did
not vote for the committal of Mr. Hobirouse to
Newgate—hut he believed that Mr.' Hobliorrae wee
glad of it, and anxious to use it as an eleetiorieer-
ing maneeuvre.—(Hisses )
Mr. Hot:moose said, he was sorry Mr. Lamb
should be interrupted in his fair, candid, mato.,
and honourabledjscourse. lie was glad that .0 r.
Lamb was allowed to dwell on his favourite topic
of iroptisonment. He reverted to the subject of
the pamphlet, and handled it as if be forgot
the audieoce before whom he stood., as well
as all setts; of good manners and generosity.
—He said, that his (Mr. Hobhous-e) going to
Newgate, was ,tan electioneering manceuvre.—
He would ask the electors whether this treatment
did not go home to their bosoms—did it 'not
tell them what they were to expect feOln, *arch
a man ? Was that the way, he eaodd ask, that
one Englishman should speak of the invasion of
another's liherty. He would tell that thquia.
man, that his-assertion was fake ; he could not
descend to a mean dirty trick of that kind. Was
it because he stood - up for the rights of 'the
Electors of Westminster—was it because he
gave way to the fervour of indignation, when
treating of the five. Bills which were thenorbout
to be brought in, and of the House- of Com-
mons, who .he .knew were to consummate the
work—was it because he gave way to his feel-
ings, and pot on paper , what. he knew .every
man had said Jo iris _neighbour: as he met him
in the streets, that, therefore, be was, to be sob-
ject to persecution? Was it because he made 110
unmanly complaints, and remained firm to the
principles of liberty, that -it should be said the
whole' was art electioneering trick ?" He again
would repeat, that Mr. Lamb had said that which
was not—he asserted that which even hiloselt did
not think true. It was a charge which no man of
the slightest honour would conceive or act on.
He would tell them, that so, far from employing any
electioneering trick, that when at the instance of
the Electors he drew op tesolutions against the
lice Bills, he proposed that a vote of thanks to Mr.
Lamb should be Included.—(Here some Electors
said, " You did.").—Now let Mr: Lamb talk- of
his Temple of Virtue. Did they think he was ever
in it ; Let him taunt him, that in looking for the
fair and honourable distinctions of his country, he
all em pt eel to sneak in by hack doors; that be

ner, tor the purpose of standiug well before the
Electors on the hustings —He would let Mr:
Lamb talk in public of those good maeners,
of that hiltless which he priactiseti so little in
private ; he might retire to his Temple of Virtue ;
but no independent man, lie had almost taint
no matt of true or honourable feelings, would
wish to have his shrine placed there ; for him-
self, he would not be guilty of the mean and dirty
acts imputed to him, not for all the advantages of
the world, not for the highest
.honours which
even Englishmen could beatow.—e (Land ap-
