less of him from his attachment to his Sovereign ;
for he cOnsiiered that the preservation of the liberty

Mr. MELLISH believed He stood rather iii a dif-
ferent situation from that in which the Gentleman
bad stood who. bad preceded him. He seldom had
the honour of a majority in that room--(applause and
considerable disapprobation;) but he flattered himself
that, though the majority was againit him 'there,
many he might say. almost all, believed 'pint to be
an honest man.—(thin le noise and-sonte anprobation.)
They ha,l come to a vote that he was not a fit and
proper person to continae one of their Representa-
tives, but that would not deter him from again seek-
lug their suffrages. From the piofesso:-.5 that were
made to hint, and from the respectability of the Gen.
tlemen by whom he was supported, by many of whom
Ise was surrounded, if their frieadship and their
kindness still continued, he hoped he should place
himself, as he had hitherto been, at the head of all
other Candidates. He had met them often theft, and
Lad been sometimes treated in a way that Many of
theinielves had declared to be too bad.—CHere the-c
was so much tumult, that the Under-Sheriff stepped
forward, and said, that they were called together by
the indulgence of the Sheriff, in consequence of a re-
quisition sent to him, signed by 40 persons, and if
good order was not preserved, they should recollect
he had the power of dissolving the lletning in.tantly.]
He had gone unbiased and unshackled into Parlia-
ment, and would take the seat on no other condi-
tions—(amlau.se and disapprobation).
The Umatt Simi'? said, £2OO each had been
deposited by Messrs. Byng.and Mellish, to cover the
expenses of the Hustings, &c. and asked if any Gen-
tleman was prepared to make a deposit on behalf of
Mr. Clarke? but none appeared.
After the thanks to the Sheriff for his conduct in
the Chair, the Meeting broke up.

WESTMINSTER ELECTION.
SECOND DAY.
:itagn after four o'clock the state of the poll was
exhibited, when the numbers were :
Sir SamuXl ltumilly . . - 825
Si: Aiturty Maxwell - . . 754
Sir F. Burdett, Bart. - . . 343H0n. Douglas Einward . • - 65

gir MURRAY MAXWELL was about to address the
people assembled in fiont of the hustings, when a
violent pugilictic fray interrupted him, and agitated
the crowd for several minutes. It appeared to have
been occasioned hi the indignation of some sailors,
at hearing the gallant Captain hissed and abused.—
When order was restored, the Captain proceeded.
A sort of agreement, he said, had been entered into,
that the two Candidate; who appeared in person
before them should be heard first. He had had oc-
casion yesterday to allude to the anniversary of Wa-
terloo, its auspicious to the 'contest on which he, a
Naval Officer, had entered ; this day he would make
another allusion ; this was the anniversary of Magna
Charta. On this day of the month Magna Charta
had been signed, when the liberty and property of
Englishmen were secured for ever. Upon the pun-1
eiples of Magna Charta he appeared before them.
Another allusion he would take the liberty to make.
The representatives of the absent Candidates had
told them yesterday that he was a Courtier, and a
Court Candidate. As to the first charge, he certainly
was a Courtier ; he had for tIS years been, in com-
mon with every other sailor, courting their approba-
time. If in the second charge he had been called a
courting Candidate, that charge too had been right.
He was now paying his court to them. There was
a good old proverb, which recommended to persons
to look at home before they talked of others. He,
hewerei, would be infinitely more fair towards the
other Candidates than they were towards him. To
begin then with the venerable son of Neptune and of
Mars, he was a very worthy and good man. Ile
should say not a word of another Candidate who had
retreated into the country. Another had been men-
tioned as a fit successor to a sailor. Of him he
should only say, that he had no marks of jolly Jack
about him. The gentleman was known elsewhere,
if not there, and could get himself returned to Par-
liament without their votes. The Candidate who
appeared' with him would speak for himself. One
word more he had to say. He had received several
shots yesterday ; many imagined they had come from
enemies : he contended that it was net so, bat that
they had proceeded from the exuberance of public
f2eiing, which every Englishman had a pride in
chewing. He considered the person who had nearly
robbed him of his sight as a friend in disguise. He
had obliged him to wear on his face an electioneer-
. big placa:A, which would procure him thousands of
votes. Of Sir Samuel Romilly's politics and public
conduct he had nothing to say, but his legal advice
might have been of importance to him yesterday.—
They had stated to him that the, person who had
struck at his eye bad been taken. He begged of
them for Goo's sake to liberate him, and he was sure,
from what he had heard of Sir Samuel Romiliy's
private life, that he would have advised him to that
conduct. He had now only to thank them for what
they had done, to request a continuance cl their exer-
, times in his favour,knd to hear the ether Candidate.
There was such 3 constant uproar of approbation
and disapproliation kept up during this speech, that
it was impossible to mark the scote of the hearers.
Mr. Ricatanosme said he appeeted to address them
for Sir Francis 13urdett. The stese of the poll was
ewing entirely to the forces of Courtiers and Place-
-1:1Cfl which had been brought to the field—(4p
eesse.)-lle had nothing to say of Captain Maxweil
personally; hut he well knew, and they might all be
aware from the phalanx that had appeared to vote
yesterday and to-day, that every effort had been
ri vie to plate him at the head of the poll. The
voters from all the offices where Excise-Officers and
ethers had influence, had come forward in crowds.
Genticmah remarked, that Excise-Officers could
not vote.j--Ile knew, as well as the gentleman who
had interrupted him, that they could not vote • but
could not' entlemen who had from 500!. to 1000/.
reyear, bring forward many votes by their power
and influence?—•(.4lTlnuse.)—He was glad that tho.e
persons had cone forward so numerously, for their
numbers were noweilmost exhausted. They had voted
leocause`they were ordered to do so ; and for a Can-
oidate who appeared before thczn because he had

been commanded to do so —l.lealrese.)—The
which he oughtnever to have slawn lea before h s
quarter-deck he now exhibited before geese—,'Greatslasfusion.)—That flag around which so many brave
men hail lost their lives was now disgraced by poli-
tical prostitution. He said so allegorically, mem-
lag that it indicated the application of Government
influence and power to force a Ministerial Represen-
tative upon the people of Westrninstee,.. The. kiccse
were now exhausted, and they should wan see Sir F.
Burdett in a better situation on the Poll. It was
with great gratification he had to tell them, that on
a former occasion the Court Candidate had in the
first two days polled 50 more than at present, and'
Yet failed at last--(App/aure )—Let the people there.

the enemy, was exhausted. Let the gallant Captain
double his votes, the discernment, sense, and spirit
Of the lectors of Westminster would at last prevail.
offeted the sincerest thanks for what they had
done—(Applause.)
Mr. W nit ART said, that it was most flattering. to
a man of honest ambition, to be supported as Sir
Samuel Hominy was supported by them. The more
his political character was enquired into, the more
he rose in the estimation of good men. No blot could
be friend its his character during the time he had been
in the House of Commons. He thanked them for
their exertions, and hoped that there could be no
doubt of their ardour keeping-at the head of the poll,
a Citizen of their own, who was not connected with
Ministry, or with party, when it interfered with jus-
tice and humanity—(Applause.) •
Mr. WALKER said that Lord Cochrane, when he
had occasien to go abroad, had resigned his seat.—
Would the Naval officer who was now Candidate do
so? Sir Francis Burdett it was who first gave the
people a public voice by taking a station indepen-
dently of the Whigs.and Tories, who had alternately
put their hands into their pockets. He again eon-
' tended, that minority was not of itself disgraceful.
Of Sir Samuel Banally he should say nothing. Sir
Murray Maxwell could better give a round dozen
at the mast than represent them. He was unfit for
them, because he might be required to e abroad,
and because he had flagging habits. An iron cheat
of thirty pound weight had ruptured Mr. Ogden—
(bravo.) He objected to Captain Maxwell as a tool,
a mere tool. He had from conscience avoided to.
canvass for Major Cartwright.
Mr. Mar could not hear one word that had boots
said by the other speakers. One thing however, he la:4'
learnt, that they were desired to exert themselves
for all the Candidates—(a laugh.) They .had
mixed up dish of Burdett and Kintraird presented
to them. He was an enemy to all coalitions. It
was enough for one to ask thea votes for himself,
without saying I must bring my friend under my
use.) It had been asked what had Sir
Francis urdett done? (An old tattered man, with
Unwashed face and long beard, thrust up his head
with great violence, and exclaimed, Nothing.")—
He found they could answer the question themselves,
be should therefore say no more of that. Major
Cartwright, that worthy and most excellent man,
was deserving of support. T.) be in a minority with
him was not disgraceful. Sir S. Romilly was at the
head of the poll. He was connected with oee c' tiie
factious of the country, arid vas sure to be in
Lament, whether they elected him or not—(great cla-
n:our.) He wished to say nothing disrespectful of
any person, but he hoped to be protected by them
when he spoke truth---(applan.se.) Sir Samuel Ro-
milly was a good man in private life. He was said
to be a good legislator : but he had fir twenty yeats
sat in PaHiament for a rotten Borough. Ile was a
lawyer, and in the Court of Chancery, the worst of all
law Courts. Twenty-two millions of the public money
were in the hands of the Lord Chancellor and his of-
ficers. There were a great many things in that Court
which required amendment. Was there one instance
of Sir Samuel Rotnilly's making a complaint
against those abuses ? (" Fes, ten days ago," a gen-
tleman replied.) Mr. Hunt stood silent for a mo- '
ment, when it' was vociferated in a loud and dis-
tinct tone, " Why did you turn your wife out of
doors, and take another woman into your house ?"
The crowd heard this challenge distinctly given, and
Mr. Hunt's embarrassment was increased. He thrust
an orange to his mouth, and then turning towards
the hustings (for he occupied his usual'advanced sta-
tion) lie called upon his accuser to come forth ; and
then, pointing to a particular gentleman, he said
" I see him, and I have a charge against him, he
knows what I am going to say, he knows quite well
what I have to say of him." Mr. Hunt then, in the
most atrocious terms,. made an abominable recrimi-
nation. The vollies eif execrations were instantly so
load and vehement, that Mr. Hunt was obliged to give
way, and put an abrupt termination to his speech.
Mr. GALE jONLI was with some difficulty, and
after .a considerable interval, suffered to be heard.—
He laboured long to soften the atrocity of Mr. Hunt's
couduct, and apclogized in his name. He lamented
the attack last night upon the gallant Captain. He
was sorry to see Sir F. Burdett so low on the poll ; but
if he had united himself with Mr. Hunt, they would
have been at the head of the poll. A deputation had
been last night sent to his Committee to this effect,
but without success. Mr. Jones then went into a
long detail of charges against Sir Francis and his
Committee, for disingenuity towards Mr. Hunt ; tae
amount of which was, that they had nor told Mr.
Hunt long ago that they would not make common
cause with him. This copious orator then proceeded
to fling out a great variety of pretty periods upon
the battle of Waterloo, and his own prosecuticr, at
Warwick in 1796,• upon the rights of Kings and tae
sovereignty of the people, upon his uniform and in-
corruptible patriotism, and the matchless merits of]
Mr. Hunt.
Mr. BRAOKBANIC explained, that Mr. Kinuaira, was
never to have been brought in as connected with Say
Francis Burdett, but for his own personal merits ;
lie was the firm, eloquent, and patriotic friend of
reform. Although he had been mentioned as Sir
Francis Burdett's friend, that was only to shew the co-
incidence at their sentiments on I'arlianientarylteform.
Mr. Pier explained, that Sir Francis Burdett had
never, directly or indirectly, recommended or ap-
proved of Mr. Kinneird's nomination. If the Com-
mittee had agreed to Mr. Ilusit'aproposal, they had
disgraced themselves for ever.
Mr. liver now again attempted to be heard, but
in vain. He was hooted down, and the pcepl6 quietly
dispeised. •
