owiter;. attention, and ws,
conclude by proposing " The health of W. Ward, Esq.
their Representative in Parliament!'
This toast was received with the most enthusiastic apples"
which continued for several minutes. When it had subsided,
Me. %Vans rose, and was again cordially greeted. He
declared himself overwhelmed with the applause with
which heewashonouro;a4 well as with th_ kind manner
in which his health had been proposed and drank. Ha
felt it•wara cause- of proud congratulation' to him to
i
• have been called upon to represent this great city, whoa&
traffic extended to the furthest ends of the earth. It was
impossible for him not to value this honour, but he
must' tepeat what he before ohm: red to his Committee,
that in one sense they were not his friends ; they had
• made him their debtor for life, and •no Iniolvent Act
could avail him —(Applause and laughter.) It was a
• debt of the heart, and as long as that heart vibrated
• it must remain unpaid. It was a satisfaction for him
to acknowledge the debt, though he could not pay
it. However, he was determined to have recourse
to a practise well known on the Royal Exchange—he
would attempt to pay what he owed by instalments.—
• If they let him knoiv, at the end of every year, that he
was not deficient in vigilance and unremitting atten-
tion to their interests; he should feel that some part
ofthe debt was discharged, though enough would still
remiih unpaid to stimulate him to further exertion.—
' If, On the contrary, he was not able to obtain this ac-
' knowledgment, but had disg• aced himself by foi feiting
' their opinion, he would rather the bond that was be-
- tWeen them should be gently untied than rudely cut
asunder. II thus disgraced, be would rather retire into
private life than occupy pertinaciously a situation which
' 'he felt hitinelf incompetent to fill. His Hon. Friend
"who presided, had alluded to the Corn Laws, a subject
which he (Mr. W.) had never mentioned during the
' election. He had refrained from doing so, not because
Fe was ignorant of the importance of this question, but
• that he was desirous to wait and see what the agticul-
' wrists themselves meant to propose. He conceived he
should have patience, and hear what they meant to do
for themselves, before we forced our views upon them.
Thus much, he thought, was due to the agriculturists,
from their impoit ince and respectability. Upon the
Catholic Q..estion, his object was cEstinct ; he conceived
it a most important question, and he d d not wish to
go beyond his depth. This, he might say, however,
that to no man in this city, or in this kingdom, was his
minion dearer than it was to him.—( applause).—lt
was not necessary for him to say that his religion was
o: Nor Established Chu, ch of England, and lie need not
ad. 4 that the spirit of that tel.gion was marked by the
greatest forbearance. When catechiud on this subject,
he felt he might become liable to a charge of bigotry,
as great as that often ascribed to the Roman Catholics,
if he pledged himself for the long period of seven years
to oppose their claims. He would conclude his obser •
atiens on this subject by remarking, that he could not
sacrifice the. feelings. Of his constituents without also
sacrificing his own, and that he felt grateful to those
•
who had not pressed him to pledge in: upon this qua-
the knew the difficulties which would oppose him
Ink nwiag the House of Commons. In contradiction,
to an assertion dram made, be believed that the House of
Commons contained many men of the highest integrity
sad greatest Ability—(Hear). During his election the
independent tone he assumed was not from self-grattea
ticn..but becau e he felt he was aspiring to represent the
aunt independent body in the world ; and therefore that
independ nt tone would not, ill become him—(Cheers).
lie would not take up their time longer, than by again
thanking them for the manner in which they received
the prrpusal. of the Honourable Baronet ; and begged
to be allowed to indulge his feelings by concluding with
proposing. " The Livery of London"—(Great applause).
The heakhs of Mr. T. Wilson and Sir C. Price were then
drank, who returned thanks; after which the" Lord Mayor and
Corporation of London" was given, and drank with applause. The
convivality of the evening was kept up to a late hour.
• WESTMORELAND ELECTION.—Fovare Day.
• APPLUT, Noma Evininta, Jima t.. 5.
Although we had so many broken heads here on
Saturday, yesterday passed off quietly, and the people
seemed to enjoy it. In the evening several small groups
were seen scattered about the street ; and no little sur-
prise was expressed at- the cordiality with which Lord
Molyneux and Colonel Lowther were seep conversing
with each other. The majority of the peopitlere seem
;,.so have no notion that political differences can exist be-
tween men of honourable minds without being accom-
panied by rersenal and animosity. There was a
report in town last night that the Carlisle weavers, who
came of their own free will to Appleby, to support Mr.

hid been guilty of several gross outrages towards the
yellow voters, who are now billetted in and about
Temple Sotverby. It was said, that not content with
hooting them as they passed by in chaises, they pelted
them a ith stones whenever and wherever they met them
• ' On the road, and that on reaching Temple Sawerby they
rushed into the house of a man named Atkinson, or
• Hill, and pummelled him very savagely for daring to
afford accommodation to the opponents of Mr. Broug-
ham.' After they had left the place, some soldiers, it is
" ieitl, were'sent after them, who captured the ringle4ders
• arf this riotous band. One of them was identified by
eeveral rsons, and was immediately taken before a,

I' • 'the prisoe at Appleby:
The yellows have apprehended one of the comba-
tants in the row of Saturday night last, on the charge
peltis-Itaving split the sign, and broken several of the
iWintrows, at the King's Head, and the man is now lying,
eolith .itl'ltaire others formerly apprehended for a similar
'• offence, in•Appleby jail.
'The polling booths were filled as usual at a very early
• lour this morning, amid the cheers of the voters and
the braying of their music. The voting went on with
great spirit all the day on both sides, and every arrival
of waggons, post-chaises, and carriages filled with un-
polled freeholders, was received with loud cheers by the
party to whose aid they were understood to be brought.

but was not announced till half-past five, in consequence
of an arrangement having been previously made to re-
ceive in the interim the votes of those who brought with
theta medical certificates of their infirm state of health.
The UNDER SIIERIPI then came forward, and declared
the state of the pull for the day. it was as follows:
