ELECTION.—At the dole of the poll
yeflerday at Brentford, the numbers were
Mr. ByrgAS4lMr. Mainwaring,2464.-Sir F. 13 u rdct t , 1953
Mr. Bs NG returned thanks to the Eleft ors, dating
that Mr. Mainwaring was one above him on this
day's Poll—an article of information which he
had no doubt would urge his friends to attend in
greater numbers to-morrow, and to advance his
Majority above him.—As it had always been his
dud!, to a 9 for the intereft of the People, he
t'ufled that they would feel it to be their intereft
to aft for him upon this occalion, and to keep him
at the head of the Poll.
Sir FRANCIS BURDETT. Gentlemen, it was with
extreme fatisfaftion that I have ever witneffed the
fuperior rank xi hich your Lwow ite Candidate was
held upon the Poll, and therefore I mutt regret
that Mr. Juflice Mainwaring llsould have been able
this or any other day to advance above hint. I
fineerely agree in the witnes of your fi iend, Mr.
Byng, that you fhould uniformly continue to keep
him at the head of the Poll. With refpeft to my-
felf, I feel the date of the Poll this day is not
lets favourable to me than it was yeflerday. On
this occafion, Countrymen, the Collegiate Church
of Wedminfter has been our mod formidable op-
ponent, for riot only the Prebends and Matters,
but the Clerks, Cooks, and Sextons have in right
of ti:zir oGces given their votes againd us, and
the Bell-i ;tigers alfo have been brought up to ring
the lad knell of the ftrength of our adverfary—
(lead applaufi). f will repeat to you what I have I
already often laid, that a feat in the Houle of
commons is not any objeft of ambition to me,
fur tinder the prefent date of reprefentation, I am
of opinion with one of the wired and bed men this
country has ever fern, that it is impoilible for any
man, whatever his talents or difpofition may be,
to elle& any thing materially advantageous to the
country ; my only objeft in (landing forward was
to afford you an opportunity of declaring your fon
timents with regard to the conduit of Mr. Jollier
Mainwaring, who has thought proper, in addition
to his other merits, to attribute trealonons purpo•
fes to all that who have honoured me with their
fupport. Having mentioned that I have no other
view than that of giving occafion to the country
to demondrate the vigour and extent of its public
fpirit, and full fcope to the Elettors of Middlefex,
particularly to Ain their independence againil a
corrupt and profligate fydem of adminillration.—
I hope it is unneceffery for me to requeft your de
cilive co-operation, that you ss ill ufe your utmoft
exertions, for the fake of your own character, to
repel the unworthy infinuation of Mr. Mainwaring.
I beg you to confider that your own intend is
much more deeply involved in this draggle, than
mine poltbly can be. Recolleft that there are
above ten thouland Freeholders in this County, lix
thonfand of whom have fcarcely yet polled, these-
file be quick and alive, there is yet time enough
to colic& the Independent Freeholders, and to en-
fore the triumph of our caufe.
Inc the enurfe of the day the Common Serjeant,
Mr. Sylveller, attempted to interrogate a Free-
holder, who, after having voted for Sir Francis
Borden, had appeared on the Hollings, as to his
title to vote ; the Connie' of Sir Francis having
heard of this irregularity, immediately appealed
to the Sheriff, and Mr. Sylvefter defended himlelf
by laying, that as the quedlons he put were illegal,
the voter was not bound to answer them. _ _

" Then," faid Mr. Fergullon, " you foppore it
inflifiable to put improper queflions, it the man
to whom yoo addrefs them mould happen to he
anaware of their impropriety ; if mho wife, your
rooduel may be culpable, without ICI ving the caufe
of your client ?"
Mr. Roatosov—The quelli-ai is, whtthcr the
I.carned Serjeant is fo anxious to ferve his client,
as to exhibit his officious zeal for the caufe of Go-
vernment, and to perfnade Mr. Mainwaring of his
utility. Perhaps fimilar motives may have afloat-
ed many of the agents on the fame fide, who have
In often interrupted the prngrefs of the Poll, by
flarting °Nations, every one of which, upon ap.
plication to the Sheriff, proved to be groundlefs.
With rtfped to Mr. Sylveder, he has in many in-
fiances afted very improperly: he yeilerd.ty took
a frethohler from the Hollings, who came up with
Sir Francis Burdett's cockade in his hat, aad de-
claring his intention to vote for him. As that free.
bolder has not fence been heard of, we have good
reafon to think that Mr. Common Serjeant con-
ttivtd to fend him away.
Mr. Sheriff' Rav nt a. 4, As no complaint was
made to me in due time of the alledgcd conduet of

of it ; but I mutt fay, that his interference on tllis
occafion was extremely undue and improper."—
This declaration terminated the difpute ; but fume
time afterwards Mr.Sylveller entered the Sheriff's
box, and :Liked how he (hould attempt to fpeak
to him in fetch terms i The Sheriff ordered
him infiantly to withdraw, and not to enter the
box any mare. Tile orator retired, and was down
for the remainder of the day.
The Candidates then went away from the Huf-
tings in the fame order as on former days ; and al-
though the Itreet of Brentiord was one continued
puddle, the mob waded through it in drawing Sir
F. Burdett's coach.

Yellerday as a coach with perfons carrying Mr.
MAIN W AP.INC'S ribbons, was paffing through one of
the turnpikes between Kcnlington and Hammer-
finith, they were hooted and hilted by a mob
which flood at the gate. Two or three perfons,
not content with this indecency, threw dirt at the
coach ; they were immediately taken into culloily
by the patrole, and fent off to town.
The daughter of a Publican was detefted in
breaking the coach windows of Mr. MAINWIIR INC,,
as he was paffing through Kentington, on Wed-
nefday evening. She was on the top of her father's
houfe, and threw a piece of brick and fome mor-
tar, and in endeavouring to avoid detection, the
jumped out of a window upon another building;.
the was puifued, and taken concealed behind fome
chimnies. On being taken into cullody, the con-
filed having thrown the thine; and it appeared
the had afted wholly from childilh motives of join-
ing,in the general clamour. She is about thirteen
1 years of age, and the daughter of a refpeetable
houfekeeper. The Magillrate before whom this
juvenile offender was taken, thought proper to
hold her to bail for her future good behaviour.

CITY OF DURHAM ELECTION.—..TIIefday lila
being the day appointed fur the elation of
two -Members to reprefent this City in Parliament,
the Candidates who appeared at the Hultings,were
Mr. LAM BTON, plopoled by Mr. BAINBRIDGE, and
feconded by Mr. Alderman CHI PC H ASE ; Mr.
TAYLOR propofed by Mr. Alderman SHIELDS, and
feconded by Mr. Alderman STAR FORTH ; and Mr.
WHARTON propofed by Mr. Alderman Porrs, and
feconded by Mr. RALPH HARRISON. Each of the
candidates addreffed the electors ill a fpeech fuited
to the occafion, and liatirig his claims to their fop
port. When they concluded, fume altercation took
place as to the manner of polling ; but it was at
length agreed that each Mcmber fhould poll one
friend in turn, and at the conclufion of the poll,
the numbers were—

Mr. Lanham 34 I Mr. Taylor 3.1 I Mr. Wharton a
According to agreement, the Members had each
an equal number of friends who voted ; but as
Mr. Tay Loa's friends voted for Mr. Last wrow, and
Mr. La M BTOII'S for Mr. Text.ct, it produced the
above difproportion.
After the Poll had commenced. the Market-
place was one virile fcene of confufion and difor-
der ; and nntwithflAnding the number of conftables
fworn in, they were inadequate to the talk of keep-
ing the peace. About three o'clock, a freeman,who
had drank freely, and had promifed all parties, was
led by Sir H.V.TaI4 r s sr towards the Hall to poll.
Mr.Vr H arom's party claimed him as their vote, and
proceeded to take him away by force, when the
friends of sir li.v.T,mPasT came to his affiflance,
and a general engagement took place. The man
was almaat torn to pieces by biz friends, who
' walled to fecure him, and at length fell fenfelefs
on the ground. Still was he held by both parties,
while numbers were fighting round him. Scarce
a Gentleman of the county but was involved in
the fcene, and it was owing to their intrepid con.
dud in keeping off the mob, that they at length
fecund the man. It is much in favour of the
peace of the city, that there are no open houfes.
Every diftant Elector is billeted, and has plenty
for himfelf, but cannot, as ufed to be the cafe, take
with him a number of friends.

NORFOLK.—About twelve o'clock on Tuefday
night, Mr. WOW Houss being t 17 behind Sir JA-
COB ttsr LEI-, on the Poll for the County of Nor-
folk, he reigned, the votes in his favour being
wholly erhanded.
WAVODIEHOUSE demands a fcrutiny, and it has
been granted.
The King's Head Inn, in the Market place, was
attacked by the mob, but nothing ferrous took
place; only a few windows were broken by (tones
&c. This is the houfe where Mr. WOMIOUSI'S
Committee fat.

K t ',lr.—The Poll for this County at its dote on
Wednefday, having left Sir EDWARD KNATCH.
IItTLL 142 behind Sir WILLIAM GEARY, and Mr.
HoNYWOOD'S fecund votes being given to the lat-
ter Baronet, no hope was left to Sir EDWARD, who
determini.d 'on Wednefday afternoon to give up the
ufelefs conflift, and we know that letters were dif-
patched to announce his intention to his friends, to
i rave the trouble of their coming to the poll yeller-
dAy. It was not known to his opponents however
in time to prevent their friends from going to the
poll. Yetlerday morning, however, it was pub-
licly announced, and the High Sheriff declared
Mr. Hot: v wool) and Sir WILLIAM GEARY duly
eletled amidlt the loud and reiterated aciclamations
rof the people.

There was a firong eonteft for the Borough of
Eaft Retford. Colonel CRAUFURD and Mr. Jac-
Taal. are eleEled. The latter Gentleman, we hear,
is interefled in a confiderable Weft India Houle.

The tailor' all rode away from Brentford as Riff
as buckram, on finding that no widest. would be al-
