SONNET

ADDRESSED TO TIIR PEOPLE OF ENGLAND, ON
TliE EVE OF A GENERAL ELECTION.

Ere yet ye yield your liberties and laws
Into the grasp of that selected few
Who wind them as they will—while yet ye view
That power residing with ye,—let each pause
Who feels his breast expanding as be draws
The breath that Alumni, HastrozN, Sm:rev, drew,
Men who the tyrant of their times o'erthrew,
Or proudly perish in that glorious cause !
Trecdom ! if from thy mamion in the skies
Thou giv'st one thought to this degraded earth,
Smile on us yet once more, and in the dearth
Of these exalted spirits, from thine eyes
Beam down celestial influence till we rise
,Ind vindicate the land which gave us birth !

A meeting of the friends of Major CART MMGEIT
was held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, when a
series of Resolutions was proposed by Mr. P. WALKER,
seconded by Mr. WooLLEn' and unanimously adopted
by the Meeting, pledging them to support the Major
at the approaching election. it was also res lived that
.a subscription should be opened to defray tha ex-
penses of the contest. The attendance was small in
number, but the few who were present were resiect-
able in appearance, and the proceedings were con-
ducted with regularity and decorum.

A numerous meeting of the friends of Mr. Witnn-
MAN tool• place yesterday at the London Tavern,
Alderman GooDement in the Chair, when it was
resolved, that, consistently with the pure principles
of the British Constitution, Representatives ought to
be returned free of expense, and a subscription was
immediately opened to defray the necessary charges
attending Mr. WAITIVIAN'S election.

A Mr:Wtcsow, a inspectable merchant, has added
his name as Candidate for the City of London.

Yesterday, at two o'clock, the Sheriffs attended at
Guildhall to read the Writ and make proclamation
for the election of four citizens to serve in Parlia-
ment for the City of London. The day for proceed-
ing to the election is Tuesday next. There are al-
ready seven candidates.
This day the Sheriffs proceeded to Brentford to
'read the Writ and niakc prociarne.ion for the election
of two knights to serve in Parliament for the county
of Middlesex, and they fixed Friday, the 26th iLstant,
to proceed with the election.

The election for Surrey commences at Guildford
on the 23d instant.

Dover Election is fixed for 'Tuesday next.
General GAscolowe arrived in Liverpool on Tues-
day, and the greatest bustle begins to prevail there.
The Hon. Mr. SCOTT has declined the invitation
sent him to become a candidate for the representa-
tion of Newcastle.

Amongst the subscriptions now raising for carry-
ing on the contest for COMMIT, at the ensuing elec-
tion for Coventry, a Mr. BRYANT has subscribed one
thousand pounds for defraying part of the expense.
Two accidents have taken place in consequence of
the preparations for the election at Boston, viz. on
Thursday, T. Blow, one of the freemen, got entan-
gled between the carriage of Mr. MADOCKS, one of
the candidates, and a gig, by which his collar-bone was
broken, and he was otherwise much injured ; and on
Friday, Captain Batten, late of the Union, of that
port, being engaged in firing off some cannon to sa-
lute the Blues, his right hand was blown off, and his
arm so much shattered as to require amputation.
ELECTIONEERING.—The late JOHN ELLIS, Esq.
who was termed " a violent party man," was em-
ployed as agent in an election, which was not only
strongly contested on the spot, but the proceedings
were, on the ground of some irregularity, brought
by petition before the House of Commons. To the bar
of the House Mr. al.'s was brought, on the part of
the petitioning candidate, when he underwent a cross-
examination, of which the following is the substance;
" We understand, Mr. Ellis, that a very considerable sum
was expended in this Election, and that great part of it was di-
rected to the purpose of corrupting the voters. Do yoc know
of any such application of money, or of any bribes being ac-
tually accepted on the part of the electors?"—" Indeed, Sir, I do
as agent, I know that our party bribed all that we cauld get to
accept our money." At this acknowledgment a pause of asto-
nishment seemed to pervade the house: a murmur succae.ecl,
which only subsided on a Meniber's saying to the witness,—
"Your party did not c:rry the election!"—" No," returned
Mr. Ellis, with great composure, "we did not."—" Well, but
Mr. Ellis," said the first querist," is it not extrawdinary, as you
say you bribed all that wo,,:d tale your money, that you did not
return your Member?" " Not in the least," said Ellis, " No!
why how do you account fo•r it r—" Easily—the opposite party
outbrlkd 'us." At this there was an universal burst of laughter.—

" I shall not ask you any more questions, Mr. Ellis," said the
interrogator with great Indignation.

CITY ELlcrion.—The Books will be open until 12
o'clock next Monday night, at the Royal Exchange
Office of HAZARD and Co. the Contractors, for the
Election of Tickets and Shares f to obtain a Seat in
the lap of Fortune, by one of the 76 Capital Prises,
which must be decided either NEXT TUESDAY, or the
following Day of Drawing, including Three Prizes
of £20,000, &c. &c. The Sixth Prise above £lOOO
mustbe£22,ooo, £23,000, or £40,000. The Drawing
begins early Next Tuesday Morning, 16th of June.
HORRIBLE OUTRAGE.—An article dated Clonmel,
the 3d inst. says—Sunday night in attack was made
on an industrious farmer named Coffee, who lives
near Fox-hall, by a considerable number of nightly
marauders, with intent to force away his daughter,
and compel her to unite herself to a man named
Collins. Her father obtained private information of
the intended attack, and had some of his friends,
well armed, who permitted them to break in the door,
when they fired on them, by which one man, named
Skeahan, from near Doonas, was killed, and several
wounded, as blood was traced to a considerabla dis-
tance—Skeahan was brother-in-law to Collins. This
is the second attack which has taken place on the
same man lately. Some time back Collins carried off
kis daughter, and kept her several days ; but Coffee's
friends.prevailed on Collins, or rather dreading the
close pursuit which Coffee and his friends held up,
allowed her to return, imagining by that means to
effect a reconciliation, but Coffee was not to be frigh-
tened into an.. alliance with such a character—the
above was the consequence. Collins was, on Monday
morning, in the neighbourhood of Castle Connell, in
a state of madness, armed with a musket. The 733dy
of Skeahan lies at the guardhouse of Newport.
