of the passengers and the ship's company, with the addition of
the following couplet by one of the Gentlemen present :

This statement was hailed with repeated cheers.
Mr. BEN() then came to the front of the hustings.
and spoke as follows :—" Gentlemen, though I had
the honour of addressing you only a few hours to,
I cannot take my leave of you without returning my
cordial thanks to you for the kind exertions you have
this day made in my favour, and which have placed
me in this high. and flattering situation--(Pointing
to the board).—However gratifying this circumstance
may be to my personal feelings, I will not suppose
that it is owing to any personal_ merit of mine--;
(Loud cheers)—but I do hope and trust that it is
owing to that line of conduct which I have ever
pursued i:t Parliament, as a public man, that I am
thus situated—(Applousei.—Before I take my•leave,
I think it right to allnde to. anothr; cilcumstance,
which has been mentioned to me this day ; and that
is, my having interfered before today in this Elec.
tion,.and having commenced a canvass here in fa-
vour of Mr. Whitbread--(Hear, /war).—l., these en-
lightened days, I presume that there ate o t:entle-
risen that I am now addressing who are . 0.. rr i:ctly
"com,)cent to j.tdge who are the two men ;11(y
think wia serve them in Parliament with greatest
zeal, the greatest fidelity, and the truest a.tachnient
to the principles of that Constitution t,i e'er %cinch
we have long lived, so happily for ourselves at have,
and so gloriously to the world abroad —(lmmense op.
plause).—Wbilc I continue.to act co sisteia. ith
these principles, I have no doubt but that I shad not
only continue to receive your . support, but that I
shall live in your hearts—(Hear, heal).—Duiii,g the
whole of the thirty years that I have served you in
Parliament, I never, in an one single instance—al-
though I have pasted the greatest. part of my life in
opposition to his Majesty's Ministers. --I never.yet op-
posed them but on piinciple; I never )11. ,A;e, actu-
ated by one factious or disloyal sentiment.- (AA/411,e).
The Honourable Gentleman having reuse', scone
conversation ensued upon the hustings; between Nlr.
Mectastt and Mr. WHITBREAD; the latter at length
advanced amidst thunders of applause, and delivered
himself to the followirg effect : •
" Gentlemen, I am quite ashamed- to take the pre-
cedence of Mr. Mellish, ;as he is much the older can-
didate (Cries of " What is he good for? r nri ,t
him"). But lam told that it is the usual custom, that
he who is second on the poll comes fotward
tirst—
(A laugh) .-1 should say, second. You must ima-
gine, Gentlemen, my teelings, when I find .hat I
am, by your favour, second on the poll-(Crieers).—
It is where should wish to be ; I ant glad to see
that you support your olds and tried friend tirst—
(That's liberal, Whitbread; bravo).—l now. ui It to
call your attention to one thins which is proper to
be mentioned. Mr. Byng has told you, that it is
presumptuous in any one candidate to interest him-
self on the behalf of another—and I think with him
—(Applause).—But, at the same time, vou must for-
give me, Gentlemen, for :tying, that the County of
Middlesex would be inconsistent if she rave her
votes to two men of different political principles. I
dare say you have, all of you, Gentlemen, at some
time or other, read, the old story of the man who
blew hot and cold with the same breath (A laugh)•
and I dare say you have often laughed at it too.—
, But, Gentlemen, it it;no joke now ; it has become a
very serious matter ; let rne heir exhort you to
remember, that you are not fighting for an indivi-
dual, but for a great cause—(Applause).—Although
I am aware that it is to the kind feelings of my
friends that I must be indebted for attaining that
station in which they wish to place me, yet I cannot
help observing at the same time, that it is far from
my wish to see them voting for me from personal
motives only ;. and, however gratifying their kind,
ness must be to me, I should wish that the great
cause may ever be the object of their support—
(Cheers).—Gentlemen I return you my warmest
thanks; I wish you 'all a good evening, with many,
many thanks"—(Applause).
Mr. Mews's next appeared, amidst cries of—
" Cyr, of," and continued groans and hisses.
' Mr. Sheriff PARKINS entreated Gentlemen; what-
ever were their sentiments, to have a little patience.
Mr. MaLtisx proceeded to say, " Gentlemen,
Freeholders,— If you will not hear (4, yen
must go," interrupted a voicoofiom the crowd, which
was seconded by a horrible confusion of discordant
noises. There being no prospect of their subsiding, the
Hon. Gentleman proceeded to say)—" If, Gentlemen,
yeti continue of the same mind, I shall make my
' bow and retire."—(Mr. Sheriff PARKINR here igain
interpoSed ; and addressing the crowd, said, he hoped
they would not so " disgrace themselves." This
observation excited an angry feeling among them,
and, although close to him, it was with difficulty we
could catch the concluding sentence of Mr. Mar..
Limes speech.) " All I can say is, that I beg my
friends will immediately come forward, and not be
frightened by the circumstance of Mr. Whitbread's
being only twenty-three a-head of us' upon this
day's poll."
The Rev. Mr. DRAPER then addressed the Meeting
at some length, in favour of Mr. Whitbread ; and at
five o'clock the multitude dispersed in the greatest
good humour.
