• azimasu BAY—MONDAY, OCTODZR 12.
This day the Poll finally closed, when the numbers
were declared as follow :
Combs • • - 5125 I
Atkins - .. 3645
cams . • • 4577 Walthman - 2622
arir - - 6 4082 Wood • - 2373
After the declaration of the ntimbers, Alderman
Conan advanced to the front of the hustings, and
the klectors in a few words, thanking them
tie honour of being at the head or the poll, &c.
but his speech was quite inaudible from the noise,
end elm the applauses of the Hall, which, as well
as the hustings, was extremely crowded.
Aldermen CURTIS and Suave were received with
Mead and continued marks of disapprobation. In the
Wig we could collect of what fell from them, they
appealed to the state of the poll as a proof of the Li-
Wery of London's approbation of their public conduct.
Alderman ATKINS experienced a mixed, but on
the Whole, rather a favourable reception ; but the
sbbstance of his short speech was wholly lost.
.., On the appearance of Mr. WAIT/MAN, the testi-
benials of popularity equalled any thing of the sort
have ever seen ; but as the other Candidates had
pot been indulged with a fair hearing, an opposition
Was created, which, though small, was sufficient to
interrupt the speaker for a considerable length of
time. Mr: Waithman repeatedly requested the ob-
seitance cf order and fairness, and begged that the
other Candidates might be heard ; but they, after
some time, declining to speak again, Mr. Waithman
tesurriedi experiencing in the commencement, many
interruptions, chiefly from some persons on the hust-
ings, on whose conduct he was tolerably severe. He
believed, he said, that if they thought he was about
to talk nonsense, the disturbers would be very willing
to hear hail. The indecorum proceeded from those
who were the picked friends of social order and re-
ligion. They looked on a Common Hall as a rab-
ble—in this instance, however, the rabble was be-
hind him, on the hustings, and not before him. His
adversariTs, he believed, thought every thing gained,
if they gained their desired seats in Parliament. The
interruptions he considered as the best compliment
7 that Tin! Could pOisibly pay him. The advantage
atone competitor had evidently declined, (Atkins),
dice on the poll of that day he (Mr. W.) had a ma-
rit7 of 40 over him. The resources of the opposite
had beiotne nearly exhausted ; their tide of
'sties' was running low,—and were it possible to ex-
tend the duration of the poll four or five days longer,
metes- over thern Would be certain— (4pplaste,) This
wits the greateit struggle ever made by the Livery of
London; and thOugh the desired extent of success had
lot been attained, yet a great triumph bad been at-
;:hieied. When told to look at the poll, let them
Alderman Combe at the head of it. What was
ti be collected of the sense of the Livery from that?
The Public conduct of that Worthy. Member had, on.
~...all great Political questions, met with his entire
`utlennenee—and in all matters whatever of import-
ori_ ce that, daring eighteen years, bad agitated the
_Common Council, the opinions of Alderman Combe
bad been the same as his own. Could he, then, be
at the head of the poll unless his conduct had been
conformable to the sense of the Livery ? In this
struggle there was a circumstance on which he might
make some observations. In all former struggles The
°PPoing candidates were supported by the full
.strength of their respective parties : but here they
ead to behold an humble individual, a creature of
their own, one of themselves, brought up, as it were
among them, unaided, unsupported by any political
Panit or by any public body in the City of London.
Some had, however, thrown him off, because they
thought he did not go far enough in the cause of re-
form—and some of those who had been professed
Whigs had deserted him, and voted for the Minis-
terial candidates. How could they reconcile th • KIT

• ,
. . , .
Conduct, who had joined with Mm in many petitioas
as I remonstrances, and yet then sacrificed their cause?
They too, had been stigmatised as disloyal and sedi-
tious, and now, by their acts, they came forward. nd
pleaded guilty to the accusation! (41/0/aluer.) How
they. reconciled such things, he neither knew nor
cared.-Itut he had polled 26,22 honest, unawed, in-
dependent votes, while crowds of voters for the ad-
versary had been dragged to the Hall by the force of
the East India Company, the Bank, the Post.offiesi,
and the Docks —( Much applause.) He had expected
support from the Watermen, as Liverymen whom be
had laboured to free from the liability to impress-
ment—he did not blame another Candidate fig using
influence with them ; but be foUnd the greater part
'of them were absolutely intimidated. Nearly a thou-
sand had voted for Alderman Wood and himself,
.who also voted for Aldermen Atkins and Shaw, and
so their votes were-neutralised. How could it besaid
that they spoke their sense, in the votes they gave to
the Ministerial Candidates, one of whom had, in
every shape, resisted all political enquiries, all attacks
upon oppression, and all progress to reform ? Some'
of their members had conkssed to him, that they had
done themselves much good by being in Parliament,
but what good they had done to their country he
could not say. The event of this election was,
after all, the heaviest blow which the City bad
struck against corruption for the last twenty years:
Two Thousand Six Hundred persons had boldly
asserted opinions, appealing to our present Rulers.
The Livery had not had fair play before. In his si-
tuation, he had appeared before them unrecommen-
ded by external marks of distinction and conseqaence,
unadorned with the robes of magistracy, without a
splendid equipage, even without sword or bag
(Loud applause and laughter.) Yet he was sorry to
see that there were not a few who professed them.
selves the friends of liberty, who were nevertheless
led away by things in themselves so childish, paltry,
and insignificant. While he readily admitted that the
great body of tracers felt a due sense of the conscien-
tious duty they had to periorm in giving their votes,
those of a richer class seemed to think they had, on
such occasions, only.to pay a personal compliment to
some candidate, and receive his bow in return...-
There were many persons of good private morals,
and friends to religion, who would put Bibles into
the hands of the poor (and he gave them credit for
their motives),— but who yet could not prevail on
themselves to set an example of virtue and morality
bysfollowing the dictates of their conscience in giving
their votes. Not a few such he had found in a re-
spectable sect to which his own ancestors had belong-
ed—the Quakers : many of these disciples of peace
had voted for the ministers of war and destruction.
How they could sleep upon such inconsistencies, he
could not tell. He had no doubt that many of his
voters that day had been in church the day before,
and had satisfied their consciences in the votes they
had given. He should intreat the Livery not to
think their votes now thrown away by the event of
the election, but to remain firm at their posts for far-
ther opportunities of supporting candidates on just
political principles ; and when another struggle arri-
ved, they would knew better how to estimate their
own strength, and understand better how to ensure
success.—( Great applause.)
Mr. Alderman Woon made a short speech, in
which he thanked those who had voted fir him, and
declared his readiness to come forward again on the
same principles on a future occasion. There were
other benefits be could perform for the City of Lon.
don, as a Magistrate, and as a zealous assentr of
their rights, and for the country, as an active encou-
rager of the education of the poor, independently of
being in Parliament. He and his Committee, he
added, had acted with perfect impartiality to every,
other candidate—(rippahre.)
Mr. WAITHWAN stepped forward, and said that
the Members would be returned on Wednesday,
when he should attend, and when he hcped the Haft
would hear out every candidate or liveryman fairly.
The Court then adjourned.
After the termination of the poll,
Alderman Wood, who was received with shouts of
applause by the assembled multitude, was drawn tri-
umphantly by the populace to the Albion Tavern,
Aldersgate-street. A sumptuous dinner was there
provided for himself and his Committee, and they
spent the evening with great conviviality. The,
healths of the other popular candidates were drank,
and many loyal and patriotic toasts were given with,
great applause; and resolutions were adopted, that
a public dinner should be given to all the friends of
freedom in the City, and that Alder. Wood should
be supported with additional vigour whenever ano-1
then vacancy should occur.
A numerous company of the liverymen, friends,
of Mr. WAITHMAN, dined together after the close'
of the poll, at the City of London Tavern, Cheap
side. Mr. Favell was in the Chair. After the clo
was removed, 46 the health of the King," with three,
of the Prince Regent, and other customary toast*,
were drank." The Chairman then observing that the
respectable names upon the poll gave the lie to the
calumnies of the opponents of Reform, gave, 66 the
healthy of the 2622 independent liverymen who had
voted for Robert Waithman, Esq." On the health
of Mr. Waithman being given, it was drank with en-
thusiasm ; and that gentleman, in returning thanks,
observed, that though he had not been victorious, be
had gained important advantages ; the citadel bad
not surrendered, but its fall was to be expected in the
next attack. He concluded by giving the health
of Mr. Favell, which was drank with appropriate
feeling and applause.
After Mr. Favell returned thanks, several ether
toasts were drank, and the evening passed with the
utmost festivity.
MIDDLESEX,
Brentfortl, October It.
_ _ _

The avenues to the hustings were crowded at ten
o'clock, and the Sheriffs appearing in front, the Writ
and Bribery Act were read, and the oaths adminis-
tered to the Sheriffs.

Mr. J. BACON then presented himself to the Elec-
tors. He said he came forward for the sixth time to
recommend a gentleman for their suffrages ; and he
was happy to see that they were unammous with
him in their approbation of George Byng, Esq. for
his steady and upright conduct—a man who, in the
long course of his public life, had never degraded
himself by any dereliction of those sound and libcsal
principles which were the support of our glorious
Constitution. He would therefore propose to them

•
George Bing, Esq. at * fit perm to represent in
Parliament the opalent, free, and independent coufi-
Ity-meof Middlesex—(Shout: owf als.4l,:ers:llD
seconded
the
isomination. •
. Sir W. Gleams then addresse I the Electors. ob-
serving that he should propose for theiechoice. a tried
servant,.Mr. W. Mmusit--(great aliplaifte, with tome
knee J—They had already twice. conferred upon him
the highest honour, by sending him to Parliament,
and he trusted that he,liad not been deficient in his
duty.—(Ctics of Where I the, Go'd ? and Roos •f
Threadneedle-street !)—}te had been an assiduous sap-
Flirter of those principles which had raised the coun- i
try to the highest pitch of glory, and had enabled
Lord Wellington to humble the pride of the Corsican
Despot, who had threatened to drive the English I
into the sea ;—but we had driven the French from
Portugal—from Salamanca--from Seville—from
Madrid.—(Huzzoi.)--Such were the measures which
Mr. Mellish had supported, and on this account be
recommended him to their choice.—(Applasue, tni:red
with hunt.)
Mr.JORN IRVING -(Member for Baamber) seconded
the nomination; an said, he could bear ample testi-
mony to the vigilant and active attendance on his
duty, which marked the character of Mr. Mellish :
he had paid the most earnest and ready atention to
all applications made to him on business— (groan:
and njuilautee)—and there was not, on either side of
the House, a more independent Member, or one less
influenced by interested motives.—(Cries of 44 Duke
of York," and 44 Where's the Gold ?")—He lived
among them, and they were able to form a judgment
of his character ; and to their enlightened judgment
he should now leave Mr. Mellish and his cause.—
(dipplasue and hum.)
The Sheriffs then enquired if any other person was
to be proposed ? and atter a considerable pause, dur-
ing which the crowd called out gg Newman," no
name being regularly proposed, George Byng and
Wtn. Mellish, Esqrs. were declared duly elected.
Mr. BYNG then stepped forward to return his sin-
cere thanks for the kind and flattering manner in
which he had been elected. During five Parliaments
he had endeavoured to execute the trust reposed in
him with zeal and fidelity.—(slpti/aum)—He felt
conscious, that for 22 years he had never, in one
single instance, deviated from those principles which
had his first support, and which had first recom-
mended him to their notice.—(AM/aute.)—He al-
ways considered that he had a sacred trust for the
benefit of the people, and not for his own private ad-
vantage.—(Bravo.)—lndeed, the poor malefactors
who were frequently executed in the Metropolis, were
not so criminal as the man who should accept from
his electors a trust to betray them, and to promote
merely his own interests. If, during his Parliamen-
tary life, he had been generally in opposition to Go-
vernment, it was not from factious motives, but from
an abhorrence of that wasteful system of expenditure
which Ministers had for so many years pursued.--
(ifitidinuez.)—He was a decided enemy to sinecures,
and to all those abuses of the Constitution, for which
there was no remedy but Parliamentary Reform,,
which he pledged himself to support.—(Loud ap-
piwe.)
Mr. MBLLISH next presented himself to the Elec-
tors, but was for some time rendered inaudible from
the shouts of disapprobation with which he was as-
sailed. At length he expressed his gratitude for the
honour that had been done him in his third election
to represent the County of Middlesex. He trusted he
had been found to fulfil the promises he had made at
the last election.—(lli.rier and afttlassees.)—Of this
he begged to assure his friends, %halter he voted for
or again.t Ministers, he had fulfilled his duty Accord-
ing to the dictates of his own conscience.—e (Cries of,
a lie !—what it become of the gold ? who gave cat the
rags of 7 breadneedie-strea 7)— He mould support those
measures mhich were best calculated for the interests
of the Empire at large, and would be happy on all
occasions to consult the wishes and weltaie of his
C. nstituents ; to %hem he hoped he should always
be found a diligent, honest., and faithful servant...-.
(4/11ilaute and hitrer.)
Thanks - were then voted to the Sheriffs;—after
which the Members were chaired, according to an-
cient
custom, from the Hustings to Breatford Bridge,
and from thence to the Black Boy Inn, where they
got into their carriages. Mi. Mewsu during this 1
scene was most scandalously treated, being pelted'
with mud, and hissed with great virulence. Mr.llrno '
was drawn by the populace to Kew Bridge.
It was expected that there would have been an
oppositicn in the person of Mr. Roams. NEWNAN, of
Hayes; and this expectation induced Mr. BYNG and
Mr. MIILLISH to bring a great number of their frienits
from town, so that the road was covered with vehi-
cles filled with electors.
SURREY. • .

GUILDPONIX—Yesterday having been fixed for the
Election Of two Members to serve in P.trliament for
this county, there was a considerable bustle in Guild-
ford, at a very early hour, :notwithstanding the
heavy rain ; and increased animation was given to
the bustle, by the arrival of the several Candidates.
Sir T. SUTTON was the most unassuming, in the man-
ner in which he made his nitric, he being attended
neither by a cavalcade nor any band of music. He
was the first that arrived, and the reception with
which he met was most flattering. He was greeted
with unmixed and the most decorous applause. The
second personage of consequence that arrived was
Mr. Hosts SUMNER, who came in an open landaulet,,
which was drawn by some farmer men. Mr. S. was
accompanied by Mrs. SUMNER, decorated with the
party colours of her lord, and followed by many of
his friends in carriages, chaises, /cc. and the whole
was preceded by a band of music, playing; "See the
eonsoserieg Hero cows 1" On his arrival at the Town
Hall, where he alighted, he was greeted with ap-
plause and hisses. The atteiltioti of the populace,
however, was soon diverted from Mr. Home Sunwea,
by the appearance of Sir T. Mints, followed by
an Immense cavalcade of horsemen, the rear brought
tip by chaises, Etc. Sir Tnotaas dashed down the
town to the White Lion Inn (his Committee•room)
with considerable rapidity, atnidst the generous greet-
ings and hearty buzzes of the Freeholders ; and the
fair spectators who lined the windows, waved their
handkerchiefs as he passed, expressive of a cheerful
welcome.
The Court was crowded before Sir T. TUNTON
arrived; and it was with the utmost diiiicuhy that

.‘ •
the Hon. Baronet and two or three friends got through
the crowd to the Bench, even with the assistance ,
the pow roma:aril. That portion of the Court, which
is nearest the Bends, was filled with personages cf
I the first conseqnence in the County, and amongst
them, were many ladies, who appeared much hate- •
rated. . The gallery was also crowded., •• .tr .
1, The several' Candidates !laving mounted the Bench,
the Sheriff (Mr. Broom). proceeded t • teed his Ma-jesty's Writ; and after. the Acts relating t, Bribery,
Elections, &c. and other forms had been gone .
through; . •
• Mr. cr.furrrnn, stepped forward for the purpoee of
1 proposing, his worthy and respectable friend,
Hossa.Seskstsny, as a person fit and proper to b' Obe
of their Members in Parliament.—(Load aMiarsters
with some hissing). .
Mr. MOLINEAUX seconded the 'propos ition without
making any observations... ..^ •
• Lord CRA*LET then proposed Sic T. Surron, his
Lordship. considering that worthy.B.tronet a fit and
iStoper person to be one of their Members.—(ifnitlaure).
Sir Jona FRED/MICK seconded the proposition. •
Sfr Jowi MAWBT, in proposing Sir. T. Miaow,
deemed the excellent character of the man too well
known, too strongly felt by all who heard him, to
require any observations in delineating those excel.
lencies which could not but recommend Sir TM MAS
to them.—(There &timer round: of huzzat I and some
hisser around the table).
Sir MARK Wuon seconded the proposition.
Mr. SUMNER then addressed the Electors. . He had
been unceasing in his endeavours to serve them, and
if re-elected he sho'uld so continue. He v ould not
describe what he had done, but he was ready to
account for his every vote if it were questioned.
( Cries of " Maddock': Motion—Sale bf Seats !") Here
was not the time to speak on that subject.—(Hissa).
Sir T. SUTTON could not but feel grateful for the
very flattering manner in which his name had been
noticed by the Electors, whom' he then had the
honour of addressing ; and, if sent to Parliament by
them, he should have an additional stimulus to labour
for their interests and welfare, as well as fur the inte-
rests and welfare of the country at large.—(Applause:).
Sir T. TVRTON next presented himself, and was
greeted with loud applauses. On such an occasion,
he should indeed feel diffident, had he not the
strongest confidence in the enlightened Electors of
Surrey. He was rich enough to secure his indepen-
dence against the temptations of Ministers qr places;
but he was not so wealthy as to enable him to bear
the heavy expenses of a contested election, without
strong hopes of success. He bad the strongest hopes,
he repeated; but a few days would shew whether
they were well founded.—{Httzear.)
Mr. HARE TOWNiIIEND expressed his intention to
support Mr. H. Sumner against Sir T. Turton, for
he disliked " the Talents ;"-and he would rather have
the present Ministers than Lords Grey and Grenville,
for such a change would only be again encountering
what they had already experienced—" Out of the
frying-pan into the fire." (Laughter and cries of Bravo.)
The Sheriff then proceeded to take the opinion of
the Electors respecting the Candidates, and the shew
of hands was declared to be in favour of Mr. Sumner
and Sir T. Sutton. Sir J. Mawby then demanded a
poll in the name of Sir T. Tut ton.

SOI.J FHWARK.
An erroneous opinion prevailed yesterday that the
contest for Southwark had terminated with the day's
poll ; but the contest for that Borough continues, and
the hope of Mr; Iluanerr's frt• nds appears to rest ou
the p:•ssibility of making the Christchurch and Clink
Liberty votes valid. With the latter, it is supposed,
they may have a majority over Mr. THORNTON. Lalst

mily of Mr. MERLE, carver and gilder, in Leaden.
hall-street, were alarmed by the watchman informing
them that the lower part of the house was in flArnes.
So rapid was the progress of the devour ng element,
that the family had but just time to escape over the
'tops of the adjoining hduses. In the course of a short
time, the houses of Mr. SEAGUL, tailor, Messrs. Hot.
/toys and JACKSON, slopsellers, with Mr. MEM-es,
were burnt to the ground, b"sides damage to a con-
siderable amount done backwards. It was reported
that some lives were lest during the confusion; bet

THE 4TRES.

DRURY-LANE.—Mr. SHERIDAN'S admirable Comic
Opera, The Duenna, was performed last night. The
stage presented the Company of the English Opera
transferred from the Lyceum to a new scene, and
they were heard with increased pleasure,. Mrs. Mot:N.!
TAIN resumed the part of Clara., The audience were
delighted to behold their long•iosi-Javourite restored
to perfect health, and greeted her with every mark of
joy. Her beautiful song, " Whey:able night," proved
that her voice has not been impaired by her late se-
vere indisposition : it drew down peals of applause.—
Mr. PHILLIPS also received a most flattering recep-
tion, and was loudly encored in the favourite airs—
" Had I a heart for falsehood fram'd," and " Just like
Love." Mr. DOWTON Mas never more effective than
in Isaac Mendoza. Never did we see vulgarity and
finery more happily blended than in his dress, which
was admirable. Last night proved this house suited
in a peculiar degree to Opera, as the singing is al-
ways executed in front of the stage where the sound
was most perfect. The house did net present a full
appearance. At the conclusion of the Opera, which
passed off with great eclat, the Performers came for-
ward, and sung—" God save the King," the audi-
ence standing.—The Farce of The Irishman in London
followed, in which Mr. Jo HNSTONE;as Murtoch Delany,
was received with three di;tinct rounds of applause.
The evening's Entertainment went off with gnat ap-
plause.
CoVENT.GantEN.—Last night, after the new Dra-
ma of Me "Ethiop, Mr. MATTHEWS made his first ap-
pearance at this Theatre, in foe farce of Killing no
Murder. He was received with bursts of approba-
tion, and in the course of his performances, proved
'how well he merited them, by keeping the audience
c'otivtilsed with laughter. In the first act, hi intro-
' duced his celebrated Mail Coach song, which was
much applauded and loudly encored. His persona-
tion-of the various characters of M. P. ccuk, French
-hair-dresser, boot-cleaner, &c. and his ventriloquism,
in imitating many voices, were truly admirable, and
evinced's versatility of talent scarcely to be equalled
upon the stage.

I: Among the company at New Drury, on Saturday
evening, was Mrs. GAURICK, who is in her 91st year.
She was received, on her entrance into her private-I
bcei, with three rounds of applause, and seemed much
affected with the attention shewn her.
It is imagined by some, that the silver Trench
Eagles recently deposited in Whitehall Chapel were
fabricated from the church plate plundered by King
Joseph in the Peninsula. Be this as it may, the many
GOLDEN EAGLES, of 820,000, that will be captured
on the 20th inst. by our Lottery Corp, will prove a
most valuable de/rorit in theirjrurser. ~ ~

. Satui (Iv) , a melancholy accident happened to a
1 i lad of the name of GA RBUTT, an inhabitant of Brigh-
ton, on the beach, at that place. He was staieling
by the side of oneboat, observing another dragged
from the water's edge, on slides, beyond the reach of
the tide. As the latter came on a parallel with the
one he was leaning against, it suddenly lurched over,
Vaught the bead of the youth between the'sides of the
two, and crushed it in the most dreadful manner.—
He still survives, but the skull is so severely fractured,
that no tripes are entertained of his recovery.
A lad about eleven years of age, slipped off the
logs on the Common Hard, Portsmouth, on Tburs-
day last, and no assistance being at hand, he was
unfortunately drowned. He was the son of Mr.
Moyle, who is employed in the Victualling Office,
at Portsmouth. ,

tian BendixOn;*ackrk in the house of Day and Phil-
Bpi, ot Portsmouth, and two watermen of the niancs
ot 'Fait and. B' wen, a sea striking her, and the ha:-
last falling to leeward, she upset ; when Mr. lien.;
dizon, and Bowen, the watermen, were unfortunately
drowned.
Yesterday afternoon, as a genteel dressed man was
riding a spirited horse down Oxford-street, the ani-
mal t ok trikht at some sheep, and on the rider clap.
ping spurs to him, the horse reared up and tell back-
wards. The rider fell on the back of his head, and
1
vias killed without a groan. The hot.* could not be
r t up for some time. -The deceased, who was a
very yeung man, was reported to be the son of A Mr.
Beecham, at Elston.
