IVESTMINSTER ELECTION.

TUESDAY at twelve o'clock Mr. Escott, accompanied by his
friends, and Col. Evans by his, had taken their station ou the
hustings ; they were both well received. It was also under-
stood that Sir John Hobhouse was in attendance, but the right
hon. hart. was prudently kept in the back ground.
At a few minutes before one o'clock the Deputy Bailiff ap-
peared upon the hustings, which were erected in the usual place
on the west side of Covent Garden. The crowd was the
greatest we ever remember to have witnessed upon any occasion
of election; it occupies the whole of the west opening of the
market; after the deputy bailiff had addressed a few woris
to the crowd, requesting equal audience for all parties, advice
which was respectfully received, but very little regarded, he
read the writ, and caused the oath against bribery to be read by
a gentleman in attendance.
Mr. De Vear then came forward to propose Sir John flota
house—

When such a yell was there
Of sudden and portentous birth—
such a yell as we had never before heard, and certainly shit!'
not attempt to describe. After grimacing very lunicrously for
about five minutes, under a shower of carrots and cabbage-
stalks, thick as the leaves that " fall in Valaombrosa," Mr.
De \Tear retreated, manifestly with great precipitation and
pleasure.
Mr. Thomas Duncombe then came forward to second the
nomination, when the bellowing became still louder, and th
storm of carrots and cabbage-stalks far thicker. The er-hons,
ourabie gentleman gave in his countenance (articulation was
out of the question) indications of something approaching to
rage, he frowned, grinned, thumped, stamped, and so forth, but
not one syllable could be heard except now and then a scream
from the crowd—" Go to Crockford's, ' " They kicked. you out
at Hertford," with other remarks of the same kind. He found
it at last useless to go on.
Dr. Bainbridge then proposed, and Mr. Simpson seconded
Colonel Evans. These gentlemen were heard with snore atten-
tion, and at great length canvassed the conduct of Sir John
Hobhouse.

Dr. Goidney then nominated, and Mr. R. A. Dundas
seconded Mr. Escott. The Deputy Bailiff having announced
the names of the candidates, room was made to the front of the
hustings, and Sir John Hobhouse made his appearance. The
yellings, hooting!, and unanimous burst of execration timt
followed defy all possible description, and almost imagination.
Missiles of every description were thrown to the. hustine, and.
several gentlemen were actually covered with filth.
Sir John essayed to speak, but he might as well base
tempted to calm the tempest.
Colonel Evans and Mr. Wakley implored the meeting to
hear what their lute constituent had to say in his own derelict,
but their exhortations were utterly useless. At length, Eniricg
that the effort was altogether hUpeless, the right hon. hart.,
who, not without sufficient reason, felt himself by no means in
a very comfortable situation, said he would withdraw--their
conduct was no disgrace to him, it disgraced themselves.
At this moment, we regret to say, that Sir John received a
severe blow in the mouth, from, we believe, a turnip, and im-
mediately retired. The keys of the church were sent kr, and
the right hon. hart. succeeded in making a safe retreat iCtO,
that edifice, from whence, under a strong escort of censtaLref,
he was enabled to reach his; committee-room.
Colonel Evans and Mr. Escott then stepped forward and
addressed the electors, when the Deputy Bailiff called for a.
show of hands, which he decided to be in favour of Cooto.l
Evans. A poll was then demanded on the part of Sir J. C.
Hobhouse and Mr. Escott. There must have been at ieat,t
15,000 persons present, and such a scene was perhaps never
before witnessed, even when party spirit was at its biglo.et
pitch.

HIS RE-ELECTIOM FOR WESTMINSTER.
Oh, NI histle, and I'll come to you; Lord Grel,;

Of taxes, and ballot, and flogging, and stuff ;

You know will have little assistance from me.

But whistle, and I'll come to you, Lord Grey.

Its a terrible bore when the Radicals bring
Addresses, petitions, and that surt of thing ;
But a shake of the hand and a bend of the knee,
Is all they will get if they bring them to me.
Then whistle and I'll come to you, Lord Grey
Whi! 4, and I'll come to you, Lord Grey ;
Just wait till I've sent Mr. Wakley an ay ;
Then whistle; and I'll come to you, Lord Grey

Though vanished and lost are the praises you won,
Though I see you abused in the Times and the Sun-;
Though they laugh, my dear Lord, at your family trc
These things are of little importance to mo.
So whistle, and I'll come to you, Lord Grey ;
Whistle, and I'll come to you, Lord Grey ;
As long as you've places, as long as you've pay,
Oh, whistle, and I'll come to you, Lord Grey !
