MIDDLESEX ELICTION.—At the clofe of the poll
yefterday, the numbers were :

Mr. Ding, 35,53—Mr. Mainwaring,2Bos—ar F. Burdett, 2791

The Sheriff's Officer having announced the ad-
journment, and that the Poll would finally dote
at 3 o'clock to-morrow (thit daj).
Mr. Brno prefented his thanks to the Electors
for their very numerous and refpetable attendance
this day. He listed, that he was on the day's
poll 270 above Mr. Mainwaring; and expreffed
his hope that they would not be deterred by any
menaces, or (educed by any artifice, from exert-
ing their zeal fill more in his favour ; and that
they would likewife continue to preferve the fame
good temper which they had hitherto manifefed.
—He knew they mutt be aware that every thing
which led to riot or confufion, wasinjurious to the
caufe of freedom. He remarked that a morning
paper of this day had had the impudence to affert,
that he on Tuefday countenanced an attack, fated
to have been made upon the houfe of an inhabi-
tant of Brentford, in which Mr. Mainwaring was
laid to be at dinner. This report he (Mr. Byng)
aliened to be a grofs falfehood. The perfons who
furrounded his carriage, though Tome people might
think proper to call them a mob, were the people
of the County of Middlefex, and incapable of mif-
behaviour, nor did they ofer the leaf intuit to
' any perfon whatever.
Sir FRANCIS BURDETT--" Gentlemen Freehold-
ers, I am by your exertion placed on this day's
poll in a molt favourable &nation indeed, and from
the profpea before me I can have little doubt that
this contcft will terminate in complete fuccefs.—
Our adverfary has at length ceafed to calumniate
us—fo I perceive from his advertifement of this
morning,the only one he has as yet publifbed,which
had the charater of decency, or was void of flan-
der. He has at length come to the point at which
he ought to have fet out, by avoiding that fpecies
of abufe for which you never gave any ground,
and which, Gould any perfon be bold enough to
renew, the belt refutation will be, a perfeverance
' in the fame condu& you have heretofore obferved.
He has fated in his addicts, that he hopes the
fuperiority which I obtained over him yefterday
would not difhearten his friends, but rather ftimu-
late their exertions. I than make ufe of fimilar
language to you, trufling that as you were not
deleted when the afpc of our caufe was unfa-
vourable, Co you will not be thrown off your
guard by the triumph of this day, but that it will
rather terve to urge you to fill farther efforts, in
order to attain a Rill greater and more complete
vitory. In the addrefs I have alluded to, Mr.
Mainwaring recognifes the confequence of the in.
dependent Freeholders of Middlefex. He Rates
that he may be defeated—he admits your power
—I know your will, and I have no doubt that the
dote of the poll to-morrow evening will convince
Wm, tlia; Will your pews'. BEI your will are in

favour of the carafe of Liberty. It =ft always
be with pride and gratitude that I (hall refleft on
the many proofs of perfonal frienclibip I have had
the honour to experience from you fince the com-
mencement of this Election. Offering myfelf as
a Candidate for the honour of reprefenting this
great County, in which I have fcarcely any family
connexions—in which 1 could have no recommen-
dation from perfonal acquaintance, I feel the
higheft gratification in thinking that your partia
lity to me can only fpring front an attachment to
our free Conftitution, and to thofe principles of hu-
manity which I have, upon this occafion, flood
forth to affert, and which you may reft affured I
will ever endeavour to maintain. The manner in
which you have fupported me in this conteft is
not lefs grateful to my wifhes than flattering to
your own charafter. You have evinced a degree
of firrnnefs not to be da'unted by menaces, and a
virtue that could not be fubdued by the undermin-
ing influence of corruption. As to the flanderous
report to which your favourite Candidate has al-
luded, I than only fay that I truft my character
will ever preferve me from the fufpicion of faaftion-
lug outrage upon any man. I requeft your early
attendance here to-marrow. [Ageneral try of—
We fiall, we flail.] One word more before we
part. Let me remind you that To-morrow ter-
minates this Contelt—we now nearly touch the
goal—the cbjeft we defire is in our view—a very
little effort—that exertion only, of which you are
fully capable, is =diary to fecure a glorious
triumph."
The extraordinary fuccefs Of Sir FRANC/S Boa-
DETT, was then echoed about .in all direftions,
and as one party of the people drew him along in
his coach, another party preffed up to the win-
dows of it for the purpofe of (baking hands with
him.

The populace along the road, and particularly
about Hyde Park Corner, were much more nu-
merous yefterday than on any former day. For
a whole hour there was hardly a poffibility of
palling through Piccadilly, fo crowded was the
place with coaches,ftages,poft-chaifes,and gigs,to-
gether with pedeftrians innumerable. Several per-
Cons in the proceffion carried large bunches of lau-
rel as emblems of viaory ; and one driver of a
hackney coach was fingularly confpicuous for
wearing in his breaft a bougud, which was adually
as large as a goofeberry bulb, and covered the
upper part of his body completely. Every lamp
iron, railing, and fcaffolding, was covered with
people, as well as the wall of the Green Park ;
and crowds of genteel people were collated near
the pond in the Park to behold this tumultuous
cavalcade pats along.
At the final dole of the Poll this day, the num-
bers were :
For Mr. Brito 3848
Sir F. BUILDiTT 3207
Mr. MAINMARING - 2936
Majority in favour of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT 271,
a number which would have been tripled, if it had
been poffible for the Freeholders to prefs through
the crowd to the Huftings. Mr. MAINWAILJNO
withdrew loon after one o'clock.

To defcribe the general exultation both in town
and country, on account of this triumph, is im-
poffible at the late hour at which the news reach-
ed us.

Yefterday a queftion of the 6rft importance, as
to the right of voting, was dircuired for feveral
hours before the Sheriffs at Brantford. The quef.
tion was, Whether tenants in common were end.
tied to vote ? and it arofe out of the claim of a
number of perfons poffeffing property in a piece of
ground, upon which mills had been lately crated.
MV.W•RRIN, as Counfel for Sir FRANCIS BURDETT,
adduced a variety of ingenious arguments to efta-
blifh the affirmative of this propofition, in the
courfe of which he evinced an intimate knowledge
of the Conftitution of this Countryi and of the
general principles of law. Mr. COURTHoars and
Mr. SYLVESTER fpoke on the other fide. In the
latter, as ufual, it was difficult' to decide which
was moft confpicuous, the urbanity of his manners,
or the forge of his reafoning. The point was how.
ever decided in favour of the tenancy in common.
In confequence of this decifion we underftand Sir
FRANCIS BURDETT has gained not lets than 300
votes.
