THIS =SO OP SPAIN N. DON JOSS DI MACHADO AND DON

JUAN ALVAREZ Di tAiNDIZAIIAL.
Application was some dine since, it iviU be recol-
lected, made by the Solicitor General, on the part of his
Catholic Majesty Ferdinand, King of Spain, for an in-
junction to stay the trial of an action brought' in the
Common Pleas by Mendizabakmainst Machado, to re-
cover a sum of 80,0001. The facts then stated, and Row
repeated, were these:—That Don Jose de Machado was
one of the Commissioners appointed by the King of
Spain, after the ratification of the Treaty of Paris, to
represent. the Spanish subjects who bad suffered from
the spoliation of their property by the French, during
the French Revolution. Acting in this character, Ma-
chado bad received from the French Government a
very large sum
.of money. which the Solicitor General
contended belonged to those; Spanish subjects only to
*hom compensation Was t be given. Mr. Mendizabal
had, during the war, furnished a quantity of aims to
the King of Spain for the use of the Spanish Govern-
ment, and had received bills payable at a certain date.
These bills bad never been paid, and Mr. Mendizabal
had endeavoured to obtain payment out of the funds in
the hands of Mr. Machado. Under these circumstances,
the former had brought an action against the latter in
the Common Pleas, to recover 80,0,01. due to him by
the King ef Spain, and the application now was to stay
that action. At the former hearing a the suction, his
Lordship bad observed, that the affidavits did not suf.
ficiently accurately describe all the circumstances, and
particularly with respect to the funds in the hands of
Mr. Machado. These affidavits had now been amended,
and it was hoped they would prove satisfactory to his
Lordship. The Learned Counsel contended, that there
was no pretence whatever for the cl.aim of Mr. Mendiza-
bal upon the fund, as it belonged to the subjects of the
King of Spain, and nut to his Majesty himself. It was
on this ground, therefore, that the injunction was sought
to be obtained.

Mr. SHADWILL and Mr. WNILITLY spoke as the same side.
Mr. Societe contended, ter the defendant, that this
was nothing but an attempt on the part of the King of
Spain to retain po►session of the money, to which ht

;had not the slightest right. The subjects of the- King
were all most stations that he should n-,t obtain pones.
,lion of tl e money row in Mr. Machado's hands, as they
ihnew that there would then be little chance of receiving
compensation for the spoliation of their property, a; it
would be very differently applied. Toe present lsw
price of Spanish Securities in this country was of itself
sufficient to show what would be the hopeless condition
of these subjects so claiming compensation, if the money
once got within the reich.of his Majesty the King of
Sp.a4at..Mr. Menditabal had a legitimate elaiskupon,the
Spanish bovernment, and had a perfect right to obtaia
repayment, and to bring an action to recover the whole.
sum he now demanded.

The Loan CMIANCELLOR thought this application was
somewhat premature. He considered that the psoper
way would be to allow the action to proceed, and to
give leave to the parties to= come to equity afterwards,
if any relief were required and could be afforded. Hil
opinion, therefore, was, that Mr. MendizAbal ought to
be allowed to proceed with his action, and if any ims*
diment were dtiosea'ia his way, he might up*, to
liqoity for its utsistaiita- The 110)0004. paid into:tho

After the fate of the victims bad beet determined. •

There was nothing interesting in this case, which wai
an action brought against diedefendant, a publicaujor
turning the prosecutor, a farmer, at Walthamstow,. Qui
of his (the defendant's house) and giving him in charge
to a watchman. The evidence did not leave it very
clear whether the plaintiff was sober or not, rehen he
was so treated. Some of them swore'hewar, anti other;
that he was not. The presumption is, that he was
j" not fon ," but just had plenty.
The Cam JUSTICE said, that if a man went into a
public house, and was sober, and behaved civilly. he was
entitled to refreshment. If he were not, it was the pub.
lican's right and duty to turn him out, for a landlord
was, in some measure, a protector of the public peace.
he Jury retired to deliberate. Hour after IOU(
passed, in which they were heard in warm discussion,
Towards supper-time, the sounds. which issued from
their room were angry and vehement. Information was
brought into Court that an Irishman had thrown a loaf
into their room, and had di.appeared. The 814irfes
Officer, who had been • sworn to keep them without
meat or drink, rushed in and snatched. the loaf, which
was a penny one, ftom the mouth of a Juror, at the
instant he was about to take the first bite. The Chief
Justice had gone home, but Mr: Knapp, the Clerk of
the Court, who was by no means pleased at being kept
without his own dinner, went in and reprimanded them
for permitting provisions to be received into their ro)m,
he trusted they would not be guilty of a repetition of
such conduct, oar oblige him ton iii down the wilida* •
and he harangued them on the duty and necessity
coming to a speedy verdict. They were again left to
their deliberations. Not long after, v..ices again mse
high, and there seemed a strong disposition to decide
the point after the good old mode, by wager of battle.
Towards two o'clock in the m' riling, all discussion Mid
subsided—nothing was heard on. the .ontsidey eacept
certain sounds, from which it was concluded. that the
Jury had resolved unanimously to try the efket of a
sleep in removing.the difficulties of the subject. • Those
in attendance now followed the egAinPte. The Sheriff'
Officer, who had the,dervin-easkedys laid himself down
across the door, to prevent its being opened.
Mr. Hobler, the defendant's attorney, made a pillbw
of his bag, and stretched _himself out ,in Conn, Me.

the most singular part of the scene was, that .sesswal

In the course of the night there occorred a .curious
instance of somnambulism.

:ON INTELLIGENCE.

YORKSHIRE.
This election took place on Wednesday last at the
Castle Yard, at York: Both parties had anticipated a
contested election until Monday evening, when the
Committee which had been forme) at Wakefield to se-
cure the return of Mr. Bethell announced to the Com-
mittees of the other candidates that they had that day
resolved, at a meeting of delegates from Huddersfield,
Halifax, Bradford, and other towns in the West Riding,
to relinquish Their intention of bringing forward that
Gentleman. Thit information was received at so late a
period as to render it partly unavailing for saving ex-
penses to the other candidates. In fact, all the prepa-
rations far a contest had been made, and it was resolved
that the freeholders appointed to attend on the day of
election should not be restrained in their inclination to
support their favourite candidates. During the whole
of Tuesday all the towns of the West Riding were in a
state of extreme excitation. Leeds, in particular, was
kept in continual bustle from eight o'clock in the
morning till seven o'clock in the eaeningt receiving and
forwarding voters, of whom nine-tenths were for Milton
and Marshall, the popular candidates. From Leeds t'
York the toad was on that day a complete stream of
orange, mixed occasionally with blue, from mid-day
to midnight.
Wednesday morning early the blue began to prevail
on the road, Oracularly from Wetherby to Tadcaster,
to the west, and from Helmsley so the north, where the
estates of Messrs. Wilson and Duncombe are principally
situated, and whose tenantry and labourers were brought
into the Castle-yard, clothed with the nominal attributes
of a freeholder, namely, a blue card. At eight o'clock
the city of York had become extremely crowded, and
before tea it was with difficulty that a passage couli be
obtained through the principal streets either for car-
riages or pedestrians. About that hour the two parties
—i-the orange and the blue—went in procession into the
Cattle-yard, Lord Milton and Mr. Marshall taking the
prectdency. In less than half an hour the capacious
area was nearly filled in every part, and it was estimated
that 40,000 persons at least were present.
The HIGH -SHERIFF (the Hon. MARMADOICE LANG.
um) appealed on the hustings a little before ten o'clock,
wad, alter the preliminary ceremonies were finished, 1

The them Ssel.aser took ibs oath customary On these occa-
sions • after which the Bribery Act was read.
The Man Snamrr sabl—" Gentlemen, the Court is now open
for the Election of four Knights of the Shire, and aity Gentleman is
at tlberty to propose a Candidate. I hope the speakers will be as
abort as they can ; for they had a good deal of speaking on the day
9f nomination, and this is the day of badness, which we wish to get
through. If any Gentleman has to propose a Candidate he shall
now be heard."

Sir FAANCII LINDLZT Woos, Bart.s-Geotlernen, I rise to nomi-
nate the Noble Lord (Milton) on my kft hied; because you have
long known him and tried him; because you have found him on all
great public questions the strenuous asserter of your liberties, and
the guardian both of year privileges and purses. On these grounds,
Gentlemen, I beg leaven, nominate the Noble Lord (Milton) as a
most fit and proper person to represent this groat comity in Parlia-
ment—( Loud cheers).
Cistracie STRICKLAND, Esq.—Gentlemen, in directing your atten-
tion to Lord Milton, my wishls net so much to ask for your sup-
port, as to congratulate yoo on your choice. Yoe know that he will
do all ha his power to promote the happiness, prosperity, and safety
of this country—(Cheers.)
Sir Joint LISTS& Kaye, Bart.—Gentlemen' the great majority
of freekliders that appeared to support Mr. buncombe on the day
of nomination Was such as not to let us entertain a doubt that, on
the present occasion, he would be chosen as your Representative in
Parliament. 1 beg cave to propose the lion. William buncombe
as one of the Representatives for the County of York. (Cheers).
••-•••••.• MAXICSAIIs Esq.—Gentlemen, I keg to second the nomi-
nation of Mr. Duncombe, as a fit and proper person to represent
pm; in Parliatnene.
The Mavens or Lien (limey Hau, Req.)—Gentlemen Free-
holders. I have again the honour to propose to you Richard Fom-
ents* Wilson, Esq as a fit person to represent you in Parliament.
iChrs). Mr. Wilson, in private life, has only been anxious to
serf: occasions of advantaging his fellow-creatures; and I am sure,
that as one of your Representatives, he will bring the tun power of
his mind and judgment to do his utmost in the maintenance of your
interests. (Cheers.)
Wu.sixe Fula, Fag .—Gentlemen I appear again before you,
to second the nomination of Mr. Wilson, who will be a defender of
our Constitution, both in Church and State; he advocates the
preserving of the Protestant ascendancy.—(Cheers.)
Sir GEORGE PATULY, in nominating Mr. Marshall,
said--It has been asked, Gentlemen, why Mr. Marshall
has not come forward to represent a borough, and not
the county? The reason is, that the trading interests
of this county are so important, that they can be fitly
represented only by a. knight of the shire. Gentlemen,
the noble sentiments of Mr. Marshall ate now before
Ton: he is, it is true, an untried horse, but you are
going to let him walk over the course; when he has
gone over the,cour se, you wilt see that it is your interest'
Vi-return him again. I could state to you, Gentlemen?,
a great variety of excellent qualities in Mr. Marshall,
but I tints', in candour, state °Le defect ; Mr. Marshall
has not been bh. s ed by Pnovzotnce with a very strong
voice, se as to be able to make himself heard by 40,000
prisons ; belt be has a voice which will cause him to be
beard in the great assembly of the nation.-((:heers.)
• tliOsAe INALIIIIII, Esq. seconded the nomination.
Lard lihitois then presented himself, and was received with the
sudsiest serionanons by his own party, but with a loud and perse-
greihietiploar by the opposite party.. For some time his Lordship
viseunable to obtain a hearing. At length, perceiving from what
eililik6' the disturbaoce proceeded, be appealed to Ur. Wilmer and
Mr. litliscon•be.
Mr. Duscoataa came forward, and prayed his friends to give a
patient and attentive nearing.
Mr. Mena also said he was sorry his Lordship should have to
make such an appeal. taut 1114 scalers' hosrini ei.ight be
given. (A. profound silence was then obtained, which prevailed
;lianas, nearly the whole of his Lordship's address, except when
interrupted by expressions of applause.)
• Lord blivros then proceeded—Gentlemen, I stand
once mote before you, to present myself for the fifth
time upon t'ie most solemn occasion on which British
Citizens can be called together, once more to offer you
my services in Parliameot. (Cheers.) I come not here
to excite any angry or jealous feeling ; and I think I
can appeal to my two honourable competitors whether
there has ever passed between us one weird symptomatic'
of any j -aloes or unpleasant feeling.--(Cheers.) It may
have been your representatives duty to discuss and
argue upon those opinions which we severally maintain,
but it has eves been my maxim to do justice to the
motives of others, although it may have been my mis-
Illie Lo think that by their mode of reasoning they
-Iv e been led to es roneous conclu ions.— ( Cheers.) Gen-
titanest, in the vast mass of this county, it is impossible
but that there should be a great variety of opinion upon
.all those important topics which divide the feelings and
nentiTents of mankind. Gentlemen, I truq we shall
go out of this yard, however much differing in opinion,
at least.respecting each other's conduct in the mainte•
:lance of those Opinions. And now, Gentlemen, not to''
disfuss any of those matters which seem to excite un-
pleasant feelings in the minds of any, I shall merely
allude to those topics, by expressing once more my
opinion, that the energies of this great people cannot
be fully called into action until complete freedom be
given both to opinion and to industry.—(Ckeers.)-..

,
Eno Moe party on the hustings here renewed their '
hisses and mciteiments to thennittitude which drew
forth from the opposite party land cries Of the name of ,
liColosiel Wilson. Lord MillaSii;turning to that past
'of the hustings said, indignantly. "There are persons
there:wild-might to blow better —(i.oad cheers). Si
lence being restored, his Lordship proceeded : Gentle-'
men, this county stands pre eminent among the elective
bodies of England ; and it is not the less so from the
distinguished honour which the Legislature has thought
fit to confer upon us, and which you are now for the first
time enjoying. Gentlemen, I apprehend that honour must
have been conferred upon us, not merely for our extent
—not merely for our population—not merely for our
wealth, but because in this county there are assembled
every opinion, every feeling, and every interest which
can be discovered in any quarter of the empire (Cheers).
Yorkshire may be considered as a sort of abridgement
or epitome of the whole kingdom, in which there is no
branch of industry, no species of capital, which is not
to be discovered. This it is which makes the represen-
tatives of this great county, as it were, representatives
of the' whole kingdom. It is with this view, Gentlemen,
that during the long period in which I have had the ho-
nour-to be placed in thst situation, it has appeared to be
my duty to form certain principles and standards of action
not referable to any peculiar interests or any local consi-
derations. Gentlemen, it is a maxim ofthe law and con-sti-
tution of this country, that when t...ce a man is elected to
Parliament he is no longer the representative of that
individual body which may have returned him—hej
becomes instanter the representative of the whole British
empire—(Cheers). It is, Gentlemen, as such, that it is
his ditty to conduct himself, not with reference to those
minor and partial interests which weigh upon the minds
of the representatives of smaller districts, where parti-.
agar and local interests predominate, but with a view
to the general welfare of this great empire. But, Gen-
tlemen, if this be the duty of .every Meinber of Parlia- 1
meat, give me leave to say, that with respect to the
Member for Yoikshire, it is not merely his duty but i
his interest. Duty find interest combine to call-open the
representatives of this county to take that-enlarged view
of public 'Mails which it is mcambent on all to take:but
from which some are diverted by peculiar considerations.
(A clamour near the gates being renewed, the High'
Sheriff said, " Gentlemen, if you could hear his Lord-
ship as well as I do, you would hear him with pleasure.
I give you my honour you would.") Gentlemen, as
the High Sheriff was pleased to observe, this is a day
Of business ; and, therefore, as those who present them-
selves before you have bad many previous opportn-
nities—one in this place, and others in other placei—of
explaining their opinions on political questions, I shall
abstain from entering now irno any discussion of these
topics, and conclude by assuring you, that if you should
again honour me with your choice, though I cannot
represent the opinions of all, I shall endeavour to give
the utmost effect in my power to the opinions of those
by whom I have been mo: e p culiarly called forth, and
to give that attention to the interests of all upon sub-
jects which do not involve any peculiar political opi-
nions, which it appears to me to be the duty of a repre-
sentative of the whole people of England to pay to the
interests of that whole people—(Lood cheers). . There
is one other observation which I wish to make, and that
more pirticulaily to you (addressing his own party)—
I beg of ycu to show that you are the real friends of
liberty, and that you will not endeavour to interrupt
any body—(Laud and repeated cheers).
Wm. Domani, Esq. then presented "himself. and ed
with mingled applause and disapprobatinn.4—Gentleolgi& . 'day
granis now arrived on which you are called upon to elect kW, -
retires in Parliament--(Great noise).
r The Hunt Sualtrr-.—Pray, Gentletnet, bear Mr. Dusieombe.
My Lord Milton has been beard pretty fairly. s•
Mr. Dorm:man resumed—Gentlemen, I am an are
that there are many individuals who, 'from their talents
And from their much greater experience in public
matters, are much better qualified to fill that important
station to which your favour has called me than I can
possibly be; but I will use my utmost endeavours to
discharge the important trust reposed in me to the best
of my power and ability.
It. F. Wicsow Esq.—l wish not to weaken the effect
of what has been said on the Catholic question by
others ; but I am happy in the conviction that your
sentiments correspond with my own ; and from what I
have heard from many quarters, I must still maintain
my own opinion.
Jon* MARSHALL, Esq. then presented himself, and
said—Gentlemen, I have already stated to you the
opinions and-the principles by which my conduct -will
be guided, it I have the high honour of representing
you in Parliament. My first object shall be the sqsain-
tenance of the liberties and the promotion of the hap-
pin ss of my country—(Loud cheers).—My second shall
be to devote my time and services to the promotion of
your interest and your welfare; and I beg to assure you
that my se, vices and my time will be at your service
without any regard to party distinctions—(Cheers).
The Hum Susan'r then made the following proclamation—
" If there is any freeholder who has any other candidate to propose
as a lit mid proper person to represent this county in Parliament,
let him come forth and he shall be heard."

After; siortpause,no answer being returned to this demand,
the High Sheriff said—" As no other candidate is proposed, I am
now going to declare Lord Milton, Richard Foantayne Wilson.
Esq., Richard Duneombe, EA., and John Marshall, Esq. knights
duly elected to regiment this county in Parliament ; and I do de.
dart the said Lard Milton. Richard Pountayne Wilson, Esqan.,
Richard Duncombe,,Esq..inri John Marshall. Esq. tole duly d.
fully elected M serve as Knights ite represent this county In Par-
liament."

The indenture of the election was then executed by the HO,
Sheriff and a number of the principal freeholders.
Lord Mu.non, on behalf of himself and Mr. Marshall, in a very
few words, returned thanks to the freeholders for the honour
conferred upon them. And 1Ir: Wilson (at the request of Mr.
Duncombe) returned thanks for himself and on behalf of that
Gentleman.
The new Members were then chaired. The ancient
costom of elevating a chair, and bearing the Members
on the shoulders of the electors, was abandoned on the
present occasion, and ornamental cars, drawn by six
horses, were substituted. The car in which L rd Milton
and Mr. Mar.liall were seat:d, was covered with orange
silk, and splendidly decorated, and the postilions had
fancy dresses to correspond. The car was drawn by
six black horses. After perambulating the Castle yard,
the procession moved to Etridge's Hotel, accompanied
by an immense body of freeholders.

Messrs. Wilson and Duncombe's car was covered with blue silk,
the riders having dresses of the same material ; it was drawn by six
grey horses, and proceeded to the Black Swan Ins, accompanied
by a great number of their Wends. The friends of the several
Members afterwards dined together at their respective Inns.

This morning the polling commenced, and continued
daring the day without spirit. Bit few of the voters
for Mr. Hunt made their appearance. His bands were
no longer heard in the town ; but the other candidates
supplied the lounging country people with music upon
the same terms.
Soon after the Court-hauls opened, and the-Sheriff took his seat,
Mr. Hunt and Sir Thomas/Lethbridge entered.
Sir 'bonus larrusansoa, addressing the Sheriff; said he had a
question to purtss-Mr.-Hunt, which would settle the business alto.
gether ; but the Sheriff ruled that it could not then be put.
The bribery oath was then administered, and the votes
were sent to she booths to undergo examination as. to
their qualifications: Mr. Hunt ran from booth to booths
and was as severe in questioning the voters for Sir T.
Lethbridge, as if (to use his own language) the repre-
sentation of the county was " a toss up" between them.
At five o'clock the poll-books were closed, and
brought in to the Sheriff; but the speaking was delayed,
in consequence of the numerous objections made by Mr.
Hunt to some votes, and his elaborate defence of others,
The &MUFF declared that the state of the poll was
as follows I
Mr. Dickinson • . . . 171
Sir T. Lethbridge . . 174
Mr. Hunt . 179
Sir T. La.:names then turning towards Mr. Hunt, who had
got up close to him, said—" Now, Sir, do you wish to say any
thing? You shall have the opportunity."
Mr. Huss—No, no; you are as yet above me en the poll, and
can avail yourself of your situatios.—(Laughter and hisses.)
Sir T. LNTHRXIDOI declared that he was highly
gratified :at the state of the poll. As far as they had
taken thi sense of the county, that sense had been most
energetically expressed. He concluded by congratu-
lating the voters upon the successful efforts they had
made in turning aside the stigma which had been at.
tempted to be attached to the county.
Mr. DICKINSIOX expressed, In a few words, his thanks for the
strong proofs' of approbation be bad received.
Mr. HUNT said, as to Sir I'. Lethbridge, that Hon.
Person had said he should be astonished if the person
would not decline any further attempt to get up on the
poll. It WAS not the first time Sir Thomas had been
astonished at what he (Mr. Hunt) was disposed to do,
nor should it be the last—(Laughter and hisses). He
(Mr. Hunt) should consider that be should be acting
disirecefully to the county of Somerset and to him-
self, And that he would deserve to be branded as the
wearer of the white feather, if he listened for a mo-
ment to Sir Thomas Lethbi idge upon such a subject.
Net -more than a sixth or seventh part of the county
441 already polled; and unless more was done by both
of fite. Old members, wi'h the blessing of Goa he
would not only gallop up to them, but pass by them
in less than ten days—(Cheers, hisses, and laughter).
Mr. DtCICIRStnt begged to 'ray a few words, as
sOMething. had been, said upon this and former ceza-
sions by -the.-Gentleman opposite (Mr. Hunt) of a per-
' sonal nature. He thought it necessary to declare now,
that he had in his possession documents relating to
the private and public character of that Gentleman, and
that he should make use of them in- case he considered
himself called upon to do so—(Cheers and hisses, and
cries of" Huatfor ever.")—He then defended -his con-
duct in Parliament.
Sir T. Lsrusitioos—My worthy friend has *gilded to a weapon
which he has in store, with which to chastise this individual.
Mr. HUH? (to Sir Thomas)—W, be, ba, boo—(Laughter.)
Sir T. LevillilDet—l assure my Hon. Friend that whatever
may be the weapon, this animal (pointing to Mr. Hunt) will not
feel It—( Laughter, cheeis and hisses.)

Sir T. Lrrnassuaoa—lf any other person in this Court had said

PRESTON, Jun es.
At the close of the poll on Tuesday evening, after
the Mayor left the hustings, Cobbett expressed his opi.
nions of the ether Candidates who were present in the
following terms "My feelings towards the Candidates
are guided by a spirit of candid equality. I give no
preference, I have no partiality for one above the other.
The Captain (Barrie) I bate and detest for his injustice
and cruelty in putting_ the oath of Supremacy to t're
Catholics. (Shouts). The Gentleman of " the Book of
Wonders," (Mr. Wood), the Prince of Hypocrisy, I
despise : and the spitten-on individual on his left, (Mr.
Stanley) I loath, as I loath any thing the most nasty.
ilium). At the Captain I knit my brow and bite my
lip; at the sugar-baker (Mr. Wood) I turn up my nose;
and* at the Honourable young spitting-box on his left,
stop my nose. (Roars of laughter). In this happy state
of impartiality, I do not know which I like least or
hate most.

After the several parties returned to their quarters, they haran-
gued their friends as usual.
Captain Daman complained that Mr. Wood, by a
viedeut rush, meanly took possession of Cubbett's tally.
box, and thus brought up his voters to be polled out of
their regular turn. It is clear (he added) that there is.
coalition between the two Radicals (Wood and Cobbett).
though both deny it. However, make a strong pull, a
long pull, and a pull altogether, and you must succeed'
—(Chcering). I am not a man to be frightened by st
knock down blow—iLeoghieri. I take a d—d deal of
licking before I give in—(Laughter)—and if I Have only
a brave second and a faithful bottle-holder, fight to
the last gasp, by G—d-,-(lisrixes). If you exert your-
selves, you must beat them with all their deceit and
hypocrisy—you never will elect a canting hypocrite, or
a Radical Reformer:
Captain Cotourrr next addressed them on behalf of
his brother sailor.-r-" Gentlemen, the heir•apparent of
Mr. Cobbett thought 6t to put the Bribery Oath to you
this morning. Could he offer to you greater insult?
Could he cast a fouler imputation on your independence,
your honour, or your integrity? He examined some
of you on that oath, but having found you pure and
uncorrupted, he, after a short time, abandoned it in
shame and confusion. I shall now assume my right
as an Elector to- canvass the claims of those Gentle-
men who seek the honour of representing us in Par.
liament. As to Mr. Stanley, no Gentleman can have
higher claims to your support than he has. Mr.
Wood is the son of Mr. Othwell Wood, a Liver•

pool sugar-balter, and it Is presumption in him to aspire
to a seat in Parliament. If be were returned, he must
perj.ire himself before he can sit, for he is not qualified
,in point of fortune. But even if he did take his seat,
he is wit capable of representing you—you all have
heard him speak, you can estimate his feeble attempts
at oratory—he would not be listened to five minutes
in the [louse of Commons. Here then, Gentlem-n,
is a person, Candidate for your Representation, who
possesses neither family, fortune, nor ability. Be.
sides, only remember Mr. Wood's harangues, how
full of violence. His principles are those of Radicalism,
principles which, if they ever prevail in this country,
must bring on its destruction. We may say of them
what Fox, the great Fox, said of the repe4l of the Test
Act—Going down to the House of Commons one day,
he was asked by a friend who met him, where he u•,,r
going. 46 lam going down (said he) to move a reps.m
of the Test Act, and when that is repealed (turning o
Ifs heel) it is all up with England.* So, when the
Radical principles are carried, we may truly-say, it is
all up with England. And now one word for the Ladies
—we hope they will not relax their kind exertions in
my Gallant Friend's favour, for although.he is married,
is he not the better for that, for setting an example
to all the lovers of all the Ladies around ane—(.44:-
daroations, laughter, aid applause)?—then add to this
his bravery—his servites—his scars—

6 Though to his share some grey hairs chaser to Lll,
Look at his deeds, and you'll forget thetn•al6"

The conclude* of the Gallant Captain's oracles was petted with
three cheers.

Mr. Vow) declaimed against the Test Act, sad informed ON

but was shackled by the influence of the borovighmeagers.
Mr. Cons?? repeated, at eight o'clock, from his perter-hoass,

WIIDSZSDAY.

This morning, at the hustings, all the doors were
opened to all parties at the same moment. This was
followed by a t emendous rush of the Pe )ple on the
hustings from six different quarters. The first that
reached them was one of Captain Barrie's agents:
having passed through his own box, he rushed towards
Cobbett's, threw up the bar of Cobbett's box, And opened
it to his party, who followed him. Wood's party rushed
in at the same moment, and a struggle ensued bt tween
them for the possession of Cobbett's booth. Wood's
party having the advantage of heavy staves, over-
lowered Barrie s, and succeeded in occupying the di..
posed position. This was followed by a scene of alter-
cation, discord, quarrelling, reproaching, spouting,
shouting—a thousand tongues going at once, and no-
body listening.
Captain itaams—l have a majority of votes if they are allinved
to come in.

Maroc—Let then all parties go out spin, and COM in peace-
ably, and each take kis chance.
Weed's Agent—That will only cause another rush and fight,
worse than the first. If Captain Barris persists in bringing his
friends up is this manner, well turn them op• again, and let him
take the consequences.
Maroa---Open the Court and be silent: more
altercation; proceed to the polling.
After mine minutes, the tumult had subsided, mad tII; page/
commenced. Mr. Wood's party being in possession of Cobb At's
booth as well as Wood's, polled two vote's to eme of Captain Ant-
ries. It was remarked for the first time, that every voter of
Cobbett's gives his second vote to Mr. Wood.
At half-past one o'clock, a friend of Captain Barrie's,
Mr. P. Horrocks, attempted to enter the busting* through
Cobbett's booth, but being known to Wood and Cob-
bett's party, was prevented. Mr. Bray (the town bailiff
and assessor) went to ascertain the fact of obstrugdpn,
and reported to the Mayor in the affirmative.
After much altercation and tumultuous uproar, which
increased every moment, the Mayor. hopeless of obtain-
ing order, adjourned the Court till nine o'clock, or-
morrow morning, at two o'clock, declaring his intention
of getting a force sufficient to maintain the pen 4.—
When the votes were,

Cobbett . 'ssS
The town is in the greatest agitation—the streets full
of anxious crowds— Cobbett's and Wood's bands, ban-
ners, and mobs have joined, and are parading the town
to the most popular Irish airs. Captain Barrie's men
are sitting quietly before his hotel, busily occupied in
cutting pieces of timber into ponderous clubs. The
military have been sent for post baste; they are expected
to arrive every hour. A. gentJetaisn of the name of
Cartwright has been seriously wounded in the head by
a blow from a club.
