• :‘,1%. SEVENTH-QAY.
The Hustings, during the rooming, p:esented no
feature of novelty, except the multitude cheering those
who professed themselves supporters of ti:a popular
Candidates, and those who appearodyste the friends
of Sir MURRAY MAIWILL. '
A dreadful /race s, however, ttleireaftee in the jatter
part of the day, between the respective supporters al
• the contending parties, in which some blood risked.
The brutal assault upon Captain Sir IVlttuto x-
watt has had much more serious effects than were
at first apprehended. So great a swelling coven that
side of the head which was struck, that the surgeons
are unable to ascertain whether the skull be In)ilted
or not. It is certain that the wretch who gave the
blow had either a brick or a very large stone in his
hand : a mere fist could never havaxoduced such
as effect by one blow.

At the close of the Poll for the day, this numbirs
were, is follow :

Sir &unite! Ran',
Sir Francis Burdett
Sir Murray Illuvrell
Mr. Hunt

Before the Poll was exhibited,
Mr. RICHARDSON entreated that they should hear
all parties. Their enemies would thank them for any
violence. Pickpockets alone could have committed
eutraget that had occurred ; and they were against
all pickpockets, whether there or in the State (Loud
applause.)
Mr. Firm, when the State of the Poll was announ-
ced, entreated an impartial• and patient hearing to all
parties. He begged of them to receive all who ad-
dressed them as became Unglishmen--(applause.)
A person who sat much at his ease on the front
seat of the opposite hustings called oht for some one
to speak in favour of that amiable character, Lord
Castlereagh. Is there no one to speak for Castle-
reagh, Reynolds, Oliver, and Co. ?--(applause.) At
all events, I am ready to speak or vine for Sir Francis
Burdett—Three steers.)
Mr. HENRY ELLIS said he came to declare a rites-
sage from Sir Murray Maxwell. But it was impos-
sible for him not to return, in the first place, his
thanks to the Gentleman who had last spoken, for
the courtesy which he had shewn, to which he owed
their patient attention—(Appkvse.) He had, he be-
lieved, spoken only the feelings of his principal,
Neither Sir Francis Burdett nor Sir Samuel Romilly
could refrain from reprobating the outrage upon
Sir Murray Maxwell's person (applause.) He wished
they had been preseht, for their exainple would have
procured a hearing for Sir Murray Maxwell, and
given an opportunity to a gallant Officer to state his
pretensions-4 Hisses.) He had left Sir Murray Max-
well in bed two hours ago, and on his conscience he
declared that he was not able to leave his bed. He was
persuaded that there was not one among them who
did not disapprove of the outrage which had occa-
sioned his illness—( Very vowel and lead applause.)
He was convinced that even the very man Who had
struck him must now repent of his conduct; indeed,
he was sure that he was not an Englisrnan (immense
appkosse.) What offence had Sir lqurray Maxwell
committed ?—(Greet *Wisdom and Aims.) He had
come forward at the request of several most respect-
able electors, to be candidate for the representation
of Westminster. For this he had been treated with
great insult and undeserved violence—(Hisses.) Yes-
terday he had intended to have given the history of
the representation of Westminster, and in the records
of Parliament they could not find more distinguished
names than the representatives of Westminster in an-
cient times. He now alluded to the Naval Officer—
judgment and discretion, an honest and upright
heart—but the uproar and confusion became so
-rel. lenient and unceasing, that we could hear no more.
When silence was agasn obtained, he said that it
would be a melancholy day when men of rank could
not be asked to exercise their elective franchise—
(Great uproar.) the most respectable citizens had
voted for Sir Murray Maxwell—(Much hissing.)—
He had only further to add, that the moment of his
mmvery would be the moment of his return as one
of their representatives—(Cries of Never, never!)
The Honourable DOUGLAS Kis; NA IRD next presen-
ted himself. However kindly disposed he believed
them to be to listen to him, he hardly knew how to
discharge his duty. The sight of a constable's stair
among the mob, introduced too, as he,thought, un-
necessarily. deprived him of the power of addressing
them as he could wish— (.2pplause, mixed with cries
km Hunt and hisfriendso Whom do you calla mob?)
would tell them what emt it by the expression.,
A mob, as he understood the word, meant nothing
more than a great collection of individuals; he was
proud to consider himself as one of them, and he would
add.. that a mob had achieved a greater victory in the
cause of freedom than all the courtiers or persons in
court dresses in Eurppe—(Loud applause.) Was it,
even supposing that the term was wrong, from the
quarter whence the criticism proceeded, that they
ought to take their notions of politeness of diction?
(Laaghter.) Whatever reflections might be made on
the language which he now used, he was sure their
liberality would guard him against misinterpreta-
tion. He was always happy to see a mob, for he was
sure that liberty was then in existence; he could not
fear that they would misapprehend him. The Gen-
tleman who had been heard with so much attention
oisthe part of Sir Murray Maxwell would, ao doubt,
represent to him, that they well knew how to distin-
guish between a man and the cause which he espou-
sed. Whilst the merits of the individual were de-
scribed. they had remained silent; and it was not till
his preteasions to political distinction were announced
that they had interrupted the advocate, and vented
in his cause that indignation which, in his own opi-
nion, it deserved--(applause.) Sir Murray Maxwell
was now on a sick and this fact guaranteed his
character from the charge of being concerned in the
foul insinuations which had been circulated, he would
