MIDDLESEX ELECTION. _

This day was appointed by the Sheriffs of Middle;
sex for the nomination of the Candidates for *the
County, at the usual place, Brentford. As early as
six o'clock Eris morning, the roads leading from the
Metropolis to the place of election exhibited an extra-
ordinary appearance of life, gaiety, and bustle. This,
no doubt, will be a most important contest : . the
vigour and spirit with which it has commenced was
never exceeded on any former occasion. Almost
every vehicle is London and Westminster was put
in requisition by the friends- of the different Candi-
dates, for the purpose of conveying the Freeholders to
the poll. Party spirit was never more strongly ma-
nifested. The walls between Hyde Park Corner
and Isleworth were covered with placards, and wri-
-1 ting in chalk, recommending and objecting to the
respective Candidates. We noticed the following:
" Mellish and Loyalty !"
The most general placard was the following :
" Byng in the pulpit, Whitbread in the chair—
" Mellish in h—, drinking small beer !"
The SHERIFFS arrived in Brentford at half past
eight, and the posse comitstus attended them, and
every preparation was made before the Candidates
arrived.—At half-past nine o'clock, Mr. CHARLES
SAMUEL WHITBREAD'S cavalcade, which assembled
at the Star and Garter, Kew Bridge, set forward in
the following order to the hustings, with dat k blue
and orange (Wtruserteto and BYEGIS) favours in
their hats and bosoms.
Trumpeter.
Thirty Horsemen, two and two.
Band, playing " See the Conquering Hero comes!"
Open Landau,
In which were air. Whitbread (the Candidate), his Brother (the
Member for Bedford), Sir Robert Wilson, Lord John Rus-
sell, and two other Gentlemen.
The Candidate stood up, uncovered, amidst the
loudest cheers, and cries of " Whitbread and Byng
for ever 1" The horses were taken out of the carriage,
and it was drawn to the hustings.
Alderman Wood, on horseback.
Three or Four It.ndred Freeholders on horseback, two and two.
A great number of Freeholders in Mr. WRIT•
BREAD'S interest, assembled early this morning at
the Crown and Anchor, Strand, and at the Brew-
house in Chiswell-street, and set off in different
bodies to the Poll. A string of carriages closed the

procession.
Mr. BYNO'S cavalcade arrived at Brentford at
about a quarter before eleven. It started at half-past
nine from Mr. BYNG'S house, St James's-square, in
the following order:
Fifty Gentlemen on horseback.
Carriage and Four,
Containing Mr. Byng, Mr. Martin, M.P. and another Gentleman.
Two Hundred Freeholder a two and two on horseback.
A train of about forty Carriages.

The Procession entered Brentford amidst the
loudest cheers.
The cavalcade of Mr. MELLtsif, and his friends,
arrived last in Brentford, amidst the most discordant
noise of hisses, applause, hooting, and clapping. Mr.
MELLISH'S friends assembled in considerable num-
bers at the same house where Mr. WHITBREAD'S
friends started from—the Star and Garter, Kew
Bridge, with light-blue favours in their hats and
bosoms. The l'rocession entered Brentford in the
following order:
Thirty Freeholders, on horseback.
Mr. Mellish, by himself, in a close carriage.
Pedestrians with favours in their bats.
About 150 Gentlemen, on horseback, with favours, ice.

The different Candidates arrived at the hustings,
which are situated very commodiously in Brentford
Butts, at eleven o'clock, amidst thunders of applause
and hisses. The Candidates and their friends having
taken their stations, Mr. Sheriff ROTHWELL and Mr.
Sheriff PARKINS, with their Under Sheriffs, came
forward, and ordered the Officer to make the usual
proclamation, which being done accordingly, the
Sheriffs' Precept was then read for the Elec-
tion of two Knights, to serve for the County of Mid-
dlesex, in the next Parliament, pursuant to the Writ
of the SPEAKER of the House of Commons. The
Sheriffs were then sworn to make a just return,
" without fear, favour, or affection." The Bribery
and Treating Act having been read,
Mr. MARTIN, M.P. came forward to propose Mr.
BYNO—(Applause). He felt great pleasure in nomi-
nating their late worthy and independent Represen-
tative. Mr. Byng was a tried servant, and his con-
duct merited their approbation—(Applause). He
should not take up the time of the Electors in making
unnecessary observations, but should, without fur-
ther preface, put in nomination his friend Mr.
Byng—(Applause).
Mr. TREPAUD seconded Mr. Byng's nomination.
Sir Joan GIBBONS came to the front of the hust-
ings, and begged to nominate Mr. Mccusn—(Thc
uproar and confusion was beyond description).
Mr. Sher iff PARKINS came forward, and requested
silence, that Mr. Mellish's friends might be heard—
(Hootings and yellings).
Mr. MARTIN, M.P. said, it was by reason and ar-
gument that they intended to gain this Election, and
therefore begged that Sir John might be heard—
(Hissing and applause).
Sir Jo:is GIBBONS came again forward, amidst
great noise and uproar. He said it was not the first
time he had been upon those hustings, and treated
in a similar marner ; butthe greater the opposition,
the more certain was the Election (hooting and bet-

locoing).--He was not to be answered by savage yells!
(Great disapprobation).
Mr. Sheriff PARKINS said, that he hoped the Re-
porters would not publish what Sir John had said ;
he begged that such language might 'not be used
again, and urrd the Electors to give him an im-
partial hearing:.
Sir JOHN GIBBONS concluded by nominating Mr.
MELLISH ; and his nom" 'on was seconded by Mr.
tat
JER Ef.II Att HARMER, who that Mr. Mellish was
1 a friend to the Constitution. •

Lord JOHN RUSSELL proposed CHARLES SAMUEL
WHITBREAD, Esq. as a Candidate for Middlesex. He
took a most able review of the situation of the coun-
try, and declared that it was only by electing inde-
pendent men, friends of Reform in the Ccmmons
House of Parliament, that any good could be done.
He eulogized the conduct of the late. Mr. Whitbread,
who always exerted himself in the People's cause,
and was the protector of injured innocence—(Loud
applause).

Mr. Alderman WOOD seconded the nomination.
A shc.-.v: of hands was then called for, which proved
in favour of SAMUEL WHITBREAD and GEORGE
13YNO, Esqrs. A poll was demanded on behalf of
Mr. MEtusn. The polling was proceeding when
our Reporter left Brentford.

Tuesday evening Mr. HUNT arrived at Leeds, on
his way to York, to take his trial. He was met,
about two miles from Leeds, by 30,000 people ;
about 20,900 of whom carried torches. The anxiety
of the Yorkshire and Lancashire people, for the re-
sult of the approaching trial, is indescribable.
