The proceedings of the day commenced at the es Mid hour. Sir
Robert Wil•on and the other Candidates were early en the hust-
ings Mr. Polhill appeared in much better health and spirits than

TAis Election was continued yesterday with the great-1
est spirit. The crowd in the front of the hustings was,
even greater than on the former days; and it appeared;
AS if the interest excited ha. extended to every carriage,
cart, and wagzon, that passed, as scarcely one was to
he seen that did not display the colours of one or other
of the candidates. The coaches engaged to carry their
friends to the hustings were also frequently coming up,
and being hailed with cheers, kept the assembled crowd
in a constant state of animation. The state of the poll
WAS also exhibited occasionally, which produced bursts
of applause from the friends of the successful candidates.
At four o'clock the polling ceased, as on the former days;
and in about half an hour the High Bailiff announced
the numbers as follow :

Mr. Calvert .
Sir Robert Wilson .
Mr. Polhill .

. 14ES
. 13E8

974

This announcement was received with immense cheering, when
the applause had in some degree subsided,
Mr. CALvaar came forward to a platform erected in
front of the Hustings, and was received with long con-
tinued cheering. He said that, the day before, he told
them he was incapable of expressing his satisfaction and
his gratitude for their 'exertions in his favour ; on that
dal he was still less capable of doing justice to his feel-
ings.—(Cheers).—They proved by their exertions that
his conduct, as their Representrive, had met their ap.
probation, and that they were determined to support
their old and faithful servants, why,h was to him the
greatest pride and honour. He had that day seen a
placard, which stated that his friend. Sir Robert Wilson,
hid spent all his money, and that himself was tired of
the expence, and that therefore one or both of them-
must lose their election.(Laughler).—Those who put
forward such placards little knew the independent spirit
of the Electors of Southwark—they would never sell
themselves, nor trust their Representation to those who
could be capable of selling the sacred trust.--In the
year 1818 he was invited to the Representation of
Southwark by the independent Electors, who premised
their support on independent principles—they had nobly
redeemed their pledge; and they should ever find him
faithful to his trust-(cheers).—He was delighted at
the exertions they had made, and hoped they would
come forward with promptness to-morrow, which could
leave no doubt of the result.—(Cheerers).—He hoped they
would give Mr. Polhill a patient and candid hearing;
it was impossible to know what change might have
taken place in his opinions if they would not hear him ;
besides it was unbecoming in Englishmen to refuse to
hear both parties.

This address was followed by great applause.
Sir ROBERT WILSON next came forwari, and was
received with sbciuts of applause. He commenced hts
address by saying, that he had, about half an hour be-
fore, drank all their good healths in a glass of good
ale, and not being used to drink anything in the morn-
ing, he was afraid it might have some effect on his he4d,
but certainly it could not diminish the gratitude of his
heart for their exertions in his favour, and in support of
their own independence—( Cheer r).—Yesterday he pro-
phetied that colour (Mr. Polhill's colour, which was
lying before the hustings), would not fly that day. He
was mistakenr but he was confident their enemies la-
mented much that they bad allowed it to fly, for they
must have passed a night of Ugly dreams and frightful
apprehensions.—(Cheers and laughter.)—lt was plain,
however, from its being allowed to continue to fly,that
their opponent was determined to die game; indeed he
had no choice, for those who brought him forward had
fairly made game of him—(Great laighter.).---They had
raid that his (Sir Robert Wilson's) money was all gone,
and that, of course, he must lose his election ; but they
appeared not to know that no money was wanted to buy
the Electors of Southwark, who could only be purchased
by independent principles and faithful services; nor
that he was an old soldier, and could spend half a
cruwn out of sixpence a day—(Great applause).—
He had also been accused of having formed a coalition
with Mr. Calvert, but. there was no other compact
between them than that of faithfully discharging
their duty to their Constituents and their country
(Loud cheering).--He had been invited by the
independent Electors of Southwark to support Mr.
Calvert, not to supplant him; and while his Hon. Friend
coninued to fight the battles of Freedom, a cause which
he would certainly never desert, be (Sir R. W.) would
consider it the highest honour to combat by his side,
and if he even had the power be would not consent to
receive a seat at his expense.--(Applouss.) One or Mr.
Polhill's Committee said yesterday they wanted a man
that would bleed in his purse—they had got one, and
Le (Sir R. Wilson) believed they had bled him pretty
f eery—indeed be suspected the:r patient was getting
'fired of their Sangrado practice.--(Great lasightar.)—
lie must now advert to a circumstance which he was
sorry to be compelled to mention. They would all
agree that the Committee room occupied by every
Landidate should be as sacred as'his own house---that it
was, in fart, his castle. He was perfectly satisfied that
hlr.Polhiil was by no means accountable for the outrage
he was going to mention ; but that, on the contrary, he
must greatly regret it. Yesterday, as he was sitting
<town with his friends to a good dinner, and withuan
excellent appetite, in his 'Committee-room, at the
Queen's Head, a number of men, dressed like dray.
men, and evidently in a state of intoxication, came into
the premises and threw stones, such as he now prodniced
at his friends who were passing along the gallery.—
,Sir Robert here took from his pocket, and exhibited to
the crowd a stone, about the size of a man's fist, the
appearance of which existed a srong sensation. A peace
,sffiser was sent for, but not arriving, they continued
tile's violence till he was obliged to go out himself to
disperse them, when, he must admit, they did not long
remain. He meant not to cast the slightest imputation
on Mr. Polhill, who must condemn such disgraceful

..;
/conduct, but he was sorry to be nblitsitt *

Sheft4,-He mentioned this that sorne.of her. Polhill's]
ComMittee might disclaim giving cdeolenance to such
outrage. Southwark had been as distilskuished for the
good order as for the purity of its elections, and he felt
anxious that such conduct should not, either in Parlia-
ment or in public opinion, be used as an argument
against popular elections--(Cheers). He had now only
'to repeat his acknowledgments for their energetic sup.
port, to express his confidence that they would not relax•
their efforts till they were crowned with victory, and to
propose that they should give three cheers for the best
friends of their cause, the Ladies of Southwark.
Mr* POLHILL next addressed the electors: Hebegan
by disclaiming any knowledge of the outrageous con-
duct mentioned by Sir Robert Wilson, which no one
could more sincerely regret or more strongly condemn.,
It was the earnest desire both of his Committee and
himself, that the euntest should he conducted with the
utmost candour and liberality. He thought he had
some claim to the confidence of the electors of South-
wark ; his father had represented them in three succes-
sive Parliaments, and he inherited the principles that
had relcommended his father to their cho'ce. He was
highly gratified by the exertions of his friends, which
he felt confident would be crowned with success.
Mr. Mum, a gentleman of Mr. Polhill's Committee, shortly
addressed the Meeting, to disclaim on the part of the Committee
any knowledge of the occurrence mentioned by Sir It. Wilson,
which every member of the Committee would condemn as sin-
eerily as that Hon. Gentlestan himself. Indeed it was their ear-
nest desire that the contest should be conducted, not only with
perfect honour, but with perfect good humour..—(Cheers.)
All the balconies and windows within view of the hustings were
ilarded with Ladies, all apparently anxious to catch every word
°foe gallant Candidate's speech. The moment it was concluded
the air resounded with the cheers of the assembled multitude.

The MA Bailie then adjourned the rolling. •

the arrangements to be observed during the election. They all
beaus* excellent friends IA a short time, and every proposition:
made by Mr. Mayor was assented to unanimously. First of all,
would the Oath of Supremacy be tendered to the electors?—Cer.
tainly not, agreed all the 'candidates. Who is to have first choice
of a place at the hustings? They drew lots—Mr. Cobbett won.
Who is first to be proposed? Lots again, and Mr. Gobbet' won.
They then agreed that the voters should be brought up in tallies—
that is to say, ten voters fee one, then tea for another, and so on.
Who was to have the privilege Obviating up the first ten? Lots
again—and again, for the third time, Mr. Cobbett wins. What,
thrice! If this is not an omen, what is ?

sures) vote fur whatever appears most conducive to the pubtio
good, and ever lead my zealous support to chose measures which
think best calculated to promote the honour and prosperity of the
Country, and to insure the continuance of our Constitution as esta-
blished in Church and State."
