WesTutNotts &ccTto N.-N.-Something like or-
der appears to be at length established at the
Hosting. ...Owing to th'e judicious arrangements
of the Magistrates, the force of the Civil Power is
such as to intimidate the most forward ruffian (tom
a breach ut the Peace; the voters can therefore
approach the Hustings with every degree of se-
curity.
-ft- seems that, the mkrriage of
.the Duke of
CLARENCH with the Princess of SAXE MBINUNGEN
is to take place. " Viscount KEITH, it is said, the
Treasurer and Comptroller of his Royal High-
ness's household, has set off for Dover, there to
receive her Serene Highness, who will he con-
veyed, with her Ladies and attendants, front Ca-
lais in the Royal Sovereign yacht ; and their arri-
val, it is even added, may be expected on Sunday
or Monday.
. Yesterday a COurt of Directors was held at
the East India House, when tire following Cap-,
tains were sworii into the command of their re-
spective ships, viz. Captain P. RIPLEY, of the
Regent. and Captain S. 4E2, of the Moffatt, for•
direct.

During the riot and confusion at Westminstet
last Monday, the following was the only placard

bill, or 16, Oxford-street, the Offices of CARROLL,

WESTMINSTER ELECTION.
TWELFTH DAY.
In the early part of yesterday the friends of Sir
Murray Maxwell began to put forth their strength,
but in the afternoon several parties of the friends
of Sir F. Burdett arrived, and the majority-1h fa-
vour of the gallant Captain on the day's poll was
somewhat reduced, but at the close of the poll he
had gained thirty-five votes more than his oppo-
nent. The numbers were Announced at the usual
time, and were as follows

Sir Samuel Bond ....4458 l Sir Murray Maxwell.... 4058
Sir Francis Burdett ...4208 Mr. Hunt Bl
Mr. HUNT stepped forward, and succeeded in
obtaining a partial hearing. He congratulated
those who beard him on the state of the poll, by
which it-appeared !hat Sir F. Burdett had lost, in.
respect of his majority, 34 votes.—(General Msg.
ing•)—On Saturday last, his friends nail promised
a great effort, and assured them that Sir M. Max•
well woof) be overwhelmed on Monday. Mon-
day and Tuesday had now passed, without any
such victory being obtained.—(Here the speaker
was interrupted. for some time by an universal
outcry, expressive of the strongest contempt and
reprobation.)—He asked only for
,fair play, and.
would retire, if they wished to hear any other
candidate, or friend of a candidate, in preference.
He wished to call their attention to the cooduct of
Sir Francis Rnrdett on the occasion of the Derby
trials.—(Loud exclamations of " What has all
that to do with this concern ?")—He knew there
t e many about him who did not like any
ri.l7fence, to that affair ; but be had letters
in his hands-, one of which was from Doc.'
tor AV ttson, which fully proved that Mr.
Cleary and Mr, Wooler had declined to make
airy exertion for their assistance. AA'hy was Sir
Francis Burdett, who had sack large estates in
the county of Derby, absent ? Why had be not
been on the grand Jury ; and why had he not
prevented the- packing of the petty juries, who
had condemned unfortunate and innocent men to
death ?—(Loud hissing, mixed with some ap-
plattse.)—He had, it was nue, gone for a laudable
purpose to Ireland ; but that purpose was accom-
plished long before the trials at Derby took place.
(Here a voice exclaimed, " Who was the cause
of Cashman's death?")—lnstead, :however, of
returning instantly to Derby, he had gone to a
public meeting, assembled to diicuss the Catholic
Question, and had there stated, " that he was a
otestaut by profession, but a Catholic in his
heart."—(Loud hooting.)
Mr. Ews spoke, but the tumult was so loud,
that, as usual, but little of what fell from him
could be heard. He said the health of Sir Mur-
ray Maxwell had considerably improved, and he
congratulated the multitude on their. peaceable
conduct during the last two daYs..H, Sir Murray
Maxwell bad had no wish to disturb the peace of
Westminster—no outrage bad been committed on
the part of his friends—on the conteary, all their
efforts had been directed to conciliate rather than
to provoke hostility. Nothing but a strong sense:
of public duty, and friendship for Sir Murray
Maxwell, could induce him (Mr. Ellis) to offer
himself to their notice as be did ; but he owed it
to his friend, and to his country, to assert again
an again, that the gallant Captain was the, true
friend of its Constitution, and, if returned to Par-
liament, he would ever be found ready to support
'the true interest, of the people. On the .
.other
side, great changes were talked if those op-
posed to Sir Murray were sent to Parliament.
They were often told by the friends of thttsother
Candidates to beware of the Borough-mongers.
lie would tell them, that quite as mucb,danger
was to he apprehended from Constitotion-man-
gers. There a ere those who were ready at a vet y
short notice to prepare Const it ut ions for any num-
ber of men, under any given citeamstanceS. These
matters were talked over as fluently, and disposed
of as lightly, as it every man among them were
competent to legislate 'for a nation—as if the
Latin maxim respeeting Nets,' Pota nakitur
nortfit.7 applied exactly to law:Makers—as if men
were born legislators, and not made such by time
and experience. • Sir Murray Maxwell was the
true friend' of the COnstittition such as it now
existed, and if chOsen.ttiCeir Representative, he
would faithfully pet form his duty to his Consti-
tuents. He hoped the- Electors would come for-
ward to-morrow,. and place him at Cie head of
the Hi. The advantage lie had obtained this
day proved that' his CAHSi was gBoing strength,
and assured him of ultimate triumph. • •
Mr. STURCE4 said, notwithstanding they bad
fallen back a little this day, be, without pretend-
ing to be a prophet; woishl predict that the Tic-
, tory would he theirs, and that-they:should' bring
in the two indepemlent Candidates', • .

. . .
. Mr. Wusnatt.r•candidly confessed, that to see
Sir Francis Burdett and Sir SamuelltOmilly in the
situation in whiCh they stootl'Ou the poll of this
day, must be to siU their frieodva theme' of sor-
row When they retired; he hoped they would
employ themselies in an active canvass, and,each
bring 9 friend in his hand to-U.1'6;1.0w;
Mr. WALKER said; every art had been retorted
to to raise Sir M, Max*ell'ou the Poll this day.
'"He stated (hut we are assured mpst erroneously).
that several persons had been discharged from. the
Stamp Office and the Excise, to enable them to
take the oath with a clear conscience, who, after
voting for the Court Candidate, were to be re•
instated in their situations. The names of some
who had so voted had been taken down this day,
it) order that they might be brought fotward at a
future, time.

Mr. CLEARY, being called for, stepped forward,
and declared be was not more certain that they
were advancing•to the morning str, than he was
that Sir F. Burdett would be their Representa-
tive. He was strongly against any coalition with
Sir S. Romilly. effect of this would only be
to place Sir Samuel still higher than he was at
present, and he could wish that Sir F. Burdett
should not he returned for Westminster at all, ra-
ther than see him second at the final close of the
poll. At present, he knew many right-minded
men kept away, believing it to be unnecessary for
theth to come forward; but, in the course of to-
morrow or the next day, he thought they would
take a different view of the subject. Some per-
sons of opulence, and among them some Noble
Lords, had interfered to prevent publicans from
voting for Sir F. Burdett,- by threatening then►
with the loss of thei‘ custom. Lord Winchilsea

had threatened a publican with the loss. of 17;3
custom for porter,
if he voted for Hon. Ba-
ronet. He (Mr... Cleary), had upon this asked,
" which would hurt him most, to lose the cus-
tom of the Noble Lord, or the custom of the
People ?" The answer was— •"rhat of the
People." He had then said, the publican must
expect to lose the custom of - the people if he did
not vote for Sir Francis Burden. The feeling
which had got abroad must be put down, and he
was tesolved that all Westminster and all Europe
should know how every titan voted in the present
Election. He would not give a positive plodge,
hut.•he would endeavour to get lists published
-which should give the names, residences, and
.trades of all the Electors, and at the same time
make known for whom they had voted. Time
friends of Sir F. Burdett would then know where
to buy their beer, their bread, and their cheese.;
Betore lie closed he begged to correct a mistake
that had occurred. It bad been understood that
when he. Spoke of the number of votes which Sir
F. Burdett had lost, he had meant to complain
of the conduct of the High Bailiff. This Was not
the case, for however they might differ from the
High Bailiff on some of his decisions, the friends
of F. Burdett were of opinion that no man
could act more impartially than he had done.
Mr. G JONES Spoke, atter which Mr. Hunt re-
.tired,.and, on hii way home, stopped in front of the
office of The Courier, and afterwards for a consi-
derable time before the office of 7'he Morning Post.
But his harangues produced no effect upon his
misled followers.
