SriUTHIP4IRIC ELECTION.

The eleceen of, a Member to serve in the present
Patliament, in the room of HENRY'THORNTON, Esq.
deceased, commenced on &mushy, at a hustings'
erected, as usual, in the Irma ef the Town Hall, in
the Borough The early part of the day was distiti-
puis'hed by the frieniis 4,1 each party parading the
streets. adorned by the favours ot their favourite.—
The colours of CHARLES BARCLAY, Esq. who is the
declared cast lidate, are orange and blue—that of the
friends cif W st. JoNES Bunnell., Esq. who is nit a
candidate. but for whose interests an active party has
declared, is blue. The latter paraded the Higlestrcet
with drums and files and large banners, on which
were inscribed the pretensions ot Btottretr, and sta.
tine. Mr. BARCLAY to be a foreigner
.- At tvtelve o'clock the Deputy Bailiff of the 80.
rough arrived, and he was soon after joined isy Mr.
BARCLAY and the friends of Mr. W. J. &minim
They were greeted with the l 'eldest acclamations by
their-respective parties. Tile nsual forms of reading
the Proclamation, the Precept, and Act for Regula-
ting Elections leaving been gone through, Mr. F.
Yotnao addresied the 1-ligh Bailiff, for the purpose of
proposing CHARLES Banceay, Testy.' as a !limper per.
son to represent the Borough in Parliament. 'l'his
Gentleman was immediately succeeded by Mr. HER-
SEE/ who proposed Wit. JONES BURDETT, Esq. An
altercation of some length, attended by great confu-
sion, now arose. as to who had first a right to address
the populace. This was at length decided by the
Deputy Bailiff, velio declared in fave ur of Mr. Yonsfo.
'That Gentleman then steppedforward, amidst dread-
ful clamours, and could only be heard by a very
mited circle. He said he had just had the honour of
proposing a Gentleman whom he had known thirty
years, the actions of whose life he had watched, and
who, from all the experience he had had of his cha-
racter, he felt no hesitation in pronouncing a fit and
proper Representative for the Borough of Southwark
in Parliameat— (Chrers.)—He was a man who was
qualified for that high and honourable distinction, as
well by his :teat talents as by the independence of
his mind, which w iuld never suffer him to be led by
Ministerial influence on the one hand, or by the noise
of faction on the other. fie WAS a man to whom, if
it were possible for their late worthy Representative
to rise from his grave, he was now confident he
would approve as his successor—(///r/riavv.)—The
frinsts of Mr. Barclay had attempted to find out
who the other candidate was by whom an opposition'
was to be given. This, however, had not succeeded,
mad he understood it was not deemed prudent to
bring any candid:ex forward. Why this was the case
peritaps would be explained; bat there being no de-
clared candidate bus Mr. Barclay, he apprehended be
should not be considered too sanguine in an unani
mous election on the part of the electors of the Bo-
rough—(Loved cheers.)
Mr. MOULDER, in seconding the nomination of Mr.
Young, declared his firm persuasion that Mr. Charles
Barclay was the strenuous friend of the parity of elec-
tion. He was not, at had been published in placards.
a foreigner—he was their neighbour, and had lived
among them, and his ancestors were known to have
fought bravely for British independence —(Cheer:.)
It was in vain that his opponents attempted by paltry
inventions to lessen him in the esteem of his friend. ;
his character and his principles were teo well estab-
lished to be shaken by such subterfuges. He might
say, in the woids ef his own family motto, tt Peritat
sentter twevaleli." Mr. Barclay's cause would triutnph
over all opposition, and nu doubt he would that day
be declared a tit wad proper person to represent the
interests of the people of Englatrel in the Commons
House of.P..rti.ament—(L7ll.l sheer: )
Mr. If tarn now stepped forward and proposed
W. Jones Burdett. Esq. as the person best calculated
to support the interests and die independence of the
Electi as of Southwark in Parliament. (lAsul cheers.)
This Gentleman was no Candidate, he followed the
example of his brother ; and, if returned, of which,
there was no skull, wished to have the satisfaction 4
of owing that morn to the uninterested feelings of,
the people whom he might represent. 'fills N'A') in-
deed consistent wish the true maxims of the purity of
election.—(Carer:.)—Not so wan; the conduct of Mr.
Barclay, who had been declared the friend of that
purity. This Gentleman went from house to house,
shoving his head into every door, begging votes, and
a. sisted in his career by a legion of tax gatherers.—
(Cs ;. s of No, no..)—The Sectors of die Borough
%% wild know boar to draw comparisons under such'
c retnes (Loud dicers )—.As for Mr. Barclay's
political sentiments, they were uaknowri, but those
of Mr. Jones Butdea had been openly declared at
lair public meeting, at which he stated himself to
be the staunch advocate of Parliamentary Reformt

/deep! )—Soch a declaration, be had no hesitatimi in
sayii would secure to this Gentleman the uni.
vets ei suffrges of the Electors of the Borough of
Liutithv rk.

Mr. llau, seconded the nomination of Mr. Jones'
Moan, e horn he agreed in believing was the
staunch friend of the pithy of Election and of Par..
liamentary •Iteform; and he had no hesitatidn in'
premising that the persevrrance and unanimity of
&le indepent nt Electors of the Borough of South.'
v..ark, would, in the coarse ut six ez sev, n days, place
him in so elevated a situation on the poll, as to in-,
dace Mr. Barclay to withdiaw his pretensions, and'
confess he had act the least chance of success, there-
by following the example of Mr. Elliott, the brewer,
at Westminster, who was opposed to Sir Yrancis
Burdett, and was happy at the end of .five days to
withdraw, and leave his opponent to enjoy that
utnph which would, he hoped, at all times attend
the true friend of liberty.—(4o/nsue.)—Much had
been said of combinations but few be thought were
snore flagrant than that which had recently been.ex-
hibited by the brewers, for the purpose of keeping up
the price of their beer. The poor tradesman, if he
slated to enter into such'a.combination, with a view
to raise his wages, would be brought to the bar of
the Old Bailey, and tried for a misdemeanour. An
instance in point was furnished by the Editor of an
'infamous Morning Paper, the enemy of liberty, who,
because his printers dared to ask for a the cf. wages,
at a time when provisions ware at a high price, took
• them before a. Magistrate, had them tried at the Old
Bailey, and bur for a subsequent interference, they
.would all have been transported. Now he would
ark, why those who combined to rain the price of

bier should srt be exposed to itm;lar punishment --
Their crime was much greater, because they had LI ot
the plea 4if distress to excuse them.—(AftftioNfe.
It had been said that Mr. Barclay would follow th •
steps of Mr. Henry Thornton. He wished not to
animadvert on the conduct of the dead, yet he cold
not help stating, th.it Mr. Thornton had been the
undeviating supporter of Ministers, and Jiad wily
voted against them en the question of die Slave
Trade--thereby voting for the emancipation 01
blacks, but supporting the thraldom of his own min.,

Who had increased the pub& debt to nine hundred
millions, and the interest on th.it sum came to j 5
millions snowing. It Mr. B.ucl4y followed such a
course, the Electors of Southwark knew what they
had tip exiitsi.t. As a security against such conduct,
he rievil h *ldly add, their surest way would be to ,
elect Mr. William Jones Burdett, of whose public
ptillelpics hi,. brothel's conduct for the last twenty
YeAI s ta. the hest guarantee.—(ANdause.) _
qtr. Ilanct.ay now rose, and evstessed his sense of
'the high honour which had been conferred upon him
by those f.iends.who had so kindly come forward hi
his bohalt. If his return was effected, he would best
chew his gratitu le by the zeal with which lie should
attend to his public duties, and to the interests of his
Constituents. It had been said that lie should be
tried at the bar of the Old Bailey--it WAS DOI IleCCti.
sary to go there for trial, he would be tried on those
hustings, and the voice of the Electors would pro:
claim whether be deserved their contilence or not.—

(Cheers.) It WAS also said that he had not avowed
his principles to those who knew him. This was not
necessai y, but to those who did not know them he
would rnsw declare that his motto was, " The Consti-
tution,'' and his determination was ever to support
the rights ancl liberties of the prople.—(Loadap.
pause.) He had only to add, that if he wets re.
' turned to represent the Borough of Southwark in Par-
liament, his best taltnts should be exerted to promote
the legitimate views of its inhabitant;—(Cheers.)
The DEPUTY Hamm, now came torward, and
called a shew nl hands,' first, on the part of C. Bar-
clay, E.a4. and next on the part of W. J. Burdett,
Esq. On confp.iring the two he declared :he shew
to be in favour of W. J. Burden, Esq. —(Load and
reiterated curer:, intermingled with :roans and hisses.)
Mr. F. room: darranded a poll on the part of
Mr. Barclay. This was seconded by Mr. 13rande,.
and was granted by the High Bailiff.
The poll-books were shortly after opened, and were
closed ag lin soon after three. At four o'clock the,
numbers were publicly declared to be—

For Char Its Barclay, OKI 0.16
Fur W.I. Burdru, ........ 59-187
Mr. BARCLAY then stepped forward amidst a tre.
mendou, macry, and expressed his gratitude for the
situation in which he had been placed on the poll.—
Such exertions he had no doubt would. in a short

time, leave his opponents su far behind as to give'
than no prospect ut SUCCCSS.
Mr. Eltusks exhorted the friends of Mr. W. J.
Burdett to rally round the hustings on Monday, and
prove their strength.
Mr. Barclay WAS driven throUgh tl:e Borough at
the conclusion of the business, in a carriage drawn
by four beautiful bay horses, decorated with his la.
VOUri he was followed by two grooms on horseback,
also wearing his favours. Mrs. Barclay was in a
window opposite the hustings during the day, and
cheered her husbaisd's friends by her presence.
This morning, at nine o'clock, the polling ag.un
conaniencgd with Enoch spirit.

Gumunau..—Saturday Michael Callaghan, a fellow
of most gigantic stature, was brought up in custody
of Brand, the °dicer, charged with a burglary upon
the pren.ises of Messrs. gimalds, sugar-bakers, in
Thames street; and with taking from thence a trunk,
containing wearitig apparel, &c. to the amount of
nearly seloo. 'Tie property was traced to the pri-
soner'; lcdgings in St. Giles's. Upon the racers at.
tempting to handcuff the delinquent, he manifested
tke most riol..:nt opposition; assistance, however,
being at hand, he was overpoweied.—Renntuded
for further examination.

HAT lON Gartom—Saturday several persons at-
tended to prefer complaints against R. lva.gor. Mr.
Booth, hosier, of Chapel-street, stated, that the pri-
soner represented hixuseif to him as a country Gen.
tlemaii, and that he liad a commission from his bro.
ther, a Member of Paha:mut, to send him a dozen
waistcoats, and several pair of silk stockings, for
which he would pay ready money. Mr. Booth took
the good; to the prisoner's Loose. in Seymour-street,
and was introduced to him and a Lidy, who selec.
ter! several pair, and gave Mr. Booth an order F:)r
several piiir of cotton stockings, which he took the
next day, alien the initialler was te—Mr. Warner
stated, that the prisoner purchased of him a horse and,
cluriee, for whiLli he gave him a draft for a 5() on
Main warines Bank, in which there were no assets
and he afterwards learned that the prisoner had sold
the articles for 410.—A Mr. Finch, a Clergyman;
sold the prisoner two horses, for which he gave Irina'
in payment some bills, accepted by some of his conk..
der aces ; and one of them was on a coachmaster at En-
field, who was a bnitcrupt.--Mr. Christie, a tailor,
Poland-street, made five suits of clothes, two for
the prisoner, one for his butler, one for his own man,
and the of th for his groom, which he took to a house

Mr. Booth having signed his, a det liner was lodged,
and they determined to examine the prisoner in the
gaol ; and advised the other complainants to prefer
an indictment against him, and his associate% for a
conspiracy.
