kOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK"-THURSDAY, MAY 7.

At the dole of the poll this day, the High Bailiff
declared the numbers to be :
For Sti TtIONIAS TURTON 1389
RTHORNTON, 1365
C 11.11.1.11 CALVIRT,Efq. sass
After the announcing of the Rate of the poll, Mr.
THOlll7'Oll addreffed the eleitors in a few words. He
complained again of public boufes having been opened
on behalf of one of his opponents. He confoled him.
fdf, however, with the hope that the flrength of St.
George's peril was nearly exhaulled ; it was there
that he had principally loft ground ; and now he
hoped that he would advance more upon equal terms
than he had done. But h was n .t a port of honour
merely that he looked for ; he only wilhcd for fecu--
my in the prefent cornett.
Sir THOMAS TrJITON congratulated the Elettors
on the difplay of their power, which he conceived to
be mod didinaly vilible in the high rank in which they
had placed him on the poll. He affured the Gentle-
man who had fpuken before him about the opening
of public houfes, that no Inch ailion had been done
by him, or on his behalf; and in addition to that he
obferved, that there never was within his knowledge
a mote fober, well caudated elation in any part of
'England than the pr dent elation for the Borough of
Southwark. But, in Lie, though he had avoided
breaking through the proviftons of the Treating Aa,
he t!•ought that it went too far ; he thought that
!cßors ought to have tome neceltry refrethment
upon Inch occafions as the prefent [loud applaufes.]
As to the lad point of the fpeech of his opponent, who
had fpoken, he had only to oblerve, that it was very
natural for a man to give op all hope of reaching the
poll of honour, when he found it was impoffible for
him to obtain it ; he might now be very glad to find
himfelf in a Rate of fccurity.
Mr. CALVERT cep-tired a hope that the parilhes of
St. George and St. John would yet prove a very
powerful fource of additional lireugth to him. He
thanked the Elettors for having enabled him to Rand
his ground fo well as he had done; in fait, it was a
matter of extreme furprize to him, that on that day he
was not left further behind than he had been. It was
to be reconciled, that it was a public holiday, and a
boll of sank Clerks had been brought ft rth againd,
him—[Several bibles, (Torn a number of young men on
the hultings).—He hoped, that to.tnorrow it would
be lien that his opponent's fire would hegin to slacken;
aid he *void advance towards that fccute poatiou'

which was now tong' ht for by the Gentlemen Who
who fiat addreied the Electors.

Yefterday, at the dole of the poll. the numbers
were :

Lord COCIIIIANI •xrs
Mr. ELLIOTT 99
Sir FIANCIS EVRORTT
Lord COCHRAN' then came forward and expreffed
his thanks to the delimit for placing him at the head
of the poll, though fupported by to influence of no
party. He again declared that be flood alone, and had
conneltion with any let of men, or with any of the no
other candidates. It might, perhaps, be thought
prefumption in a perfon, in a great me:ft; re a granger
to them, to offer himfelf ; however, he pledged him-
felf to them for the independence of his principles,
and this they had a right to expea. It was for him
to offer, and if they did not like it it was for them to
rejea. If they fhould be inclined, however, to try
him, he flattered himfelf they mould not be difap.
pointed. With regard to the other Candidates he
had nothing to fay. It was for the eleaors to decide
upon their merits.
His Lordfbip retired amidfl &oda of applaufe
the good humoured plainnefs, and fincerity of his pro-
feffions completely gaiired the hearts of the populace.
Mr. jannimos then came forward on the part of
Sir F. Bunny:, and obtetved, that if Sir Francis
himfelf could attend there would not be a doubt of
his fuccefs ; but he hoped that hi* friends would not
fuller his prefent &nation to -throw a damp on their
exertions. In returning him they would ferve them
felves. His only ambition was to ferve the people.
He began his public career like another Howard, by
vifiting the prifoners and adminiflering relief and
confolation. People in high &nations did not ge-
nerally like him, and the :talon was, that they knew
he could not be bribed.--4 Loud applaufe.]—Sir
Francis Burdett wants no Peerage—no place—no
penfion—his objeft was to reflore the Conflitution to
its purity, and to promote the interetis of the people.
[Loud applaufe.j—He concluded by exhorting them
to flrain every nerve to fecure his return.
Mr. ELL:or endeavoured to addrefs the crowd, but
the uproar was fo loud and incelTant shat he could
not fumed, and therefore, after a geacral affer don of
his independence, he retired.
Mr. Ginsons (no prll had been demanded for Mr.
Paull) then came forward and adverted to the invi-
dious diflinaion that tmd been made between Mr.
%null and Sir Francis—a diflintlion which Sir Francis
difapproved. He (Wed, that he had waited on Mr.
Paull, and we underftood him to fay, that his remon-
Rrances to induce him to become a candidate, had
not been in wait, and therefore a requifition would
te-morrow be made to the High Bailiff, and Mr.
Paull would again be their candidate.—[Applaufe
