SOUTHWARK ELECTION-

THIRD DAY.
Saturday the poll commenced at the usual hour,
and was carried on with very great spirit. The
state of the poll at its close was-
- For Mr. Calvert 1,942
Sir It. Wilson
Barclay
The declaration of the minarets was, as usual,
received with the most rapturous applause.
Mr. CALVERT had again the pleasing task of
expressing his gratitude for the exertions tmtde by
hisfricnds, and to congratulate them on the state
of the poll. At the same time he had to announce
to them, that an attempt was about to he made to
deduct from -the numbers polled all the Sutiolk-
nranur Nlint votes, as well as those ‘elio. had
toter', not having paid their rates. If this mea-
swe was carried, it would cause a consider:44le

(Applause.)—lle could not conclude without re-
quest cog t vy would hear patiently any thing Mr.
Barclay aright tt ish to address to them. Ilis Ho-
nourable Friend was accused, and it.was contrary
to Britisti justice and British liberality to con-
demn an accused person unheard.—(Laud -ap-
plause, anti cries for Mr. Barclay to come for-
ward.) .

Air. B\RCL%Y came forward,. and was received
with hold applait.e, mixed with some slight marks
of disapprobation. lie assured the electors he
bad not the most distant wish to disturb the peace
of the lioroogh,or to keep the poll open one minute
beyond what was necessary. It was true his Hon.
iend had retired when the majority against him
was only 125", but at that time upwards of 3,000
electors had polled. Nov the ',timber did not
exceed 2,500, and.upwards of 1,000 still remained
to vote, he could not therefore consent to give up
the contest. . lie was sure they wished every one
should have an opportunity of exercising, his elec-
tive franchise, and it was his duty to afford them
an opportunity of doing so. The objection to the,
Mint and Suffolk-Manor voters had been alluded to;
he could assure them he was not the person who
made the objection ; indeed, when it was commu-
nicated to him, he strongly opposed their rejection.
The ether rrsons allotted to Dever had been allowed
to vote at any former election ; and he thoteght he
was serving tbe'cause of the electors, when he en- '
deavoured to confine the poll to those who had a
right to vote. He assured those who heard him
that he had tto personal feeling of enmity towards
any one, and however the contest might termi-
nate, he trusted he should still lis'a ainongst them
as he had done, respected by and respreting them.
Whilst he had represented them, lie had arrays
endeavoured faithfully to discharge his duty ; it
had been his misfortune to differ trout some of the
electors, but he was now before them, and the
great body would judge of hint. Whilst he had
the honour of a seat in Parliament, great part of
his time had occessarily been occupied in attending
his public duties. This had been an important sa-
crifice to him in his situation ; and should it be their
pleasure to reject hint, he should retire to private
life without a murmur, ever ra taining a grateful
remembrance of the kindness he had received at
their hands. It was impossible for him to con-
chide without acknowledging the honourable con •
duct Of the gentleman who was opposed to hint.
He had known that gentleman but three days;
in that time, however, he had, by the urbanity cif
Ilia manner, raised in his mind the highest esteem
for hint ; and it he should not succeed in this
contest, the -regret he should feel would be much
lessened by the koowletfge that their interests
were intrusted to the keeping of one who W,19
worthy their Confidence. lie concluded by thank-
ing the meeting for the patient hearing they had
afforded him, and assuring them he would not
keep the poll open one minute after he felt that
the decided opinion of the electors had been ex-
pressed —(11e retired amidst applause and disap-
probation.)
Sir R. WtesoN had once more to congratulate
his frieuda on their exertions. He yesterday de-
clared himself. confident of a majority; he had.
now to wish them joy on having passed the shoals
and quicksands of opposition, and having safely
moored their bark itt the bay of independence.
He had heard, however, that the resistance was
still to be protracted. He called on them to con-
tinue their exertions ; for though their triumph
was sure, be wished it to be such as should de-
ter all roture attempts to overturn their independ-
ence. The kindness of his friends had been so
great, their zed so general, it was almost impos-
sible to select particular instances : he should,
botteeer, be hoped., be pardoned for stating two
