10 consist more in an expensive pageantry, and
the allurements of ambition and titles, than in the

WESTMINSTER ELECTION.

At nine o'clock this morning (the time announced
for the proceedings to commence), front some delay or
other, the hustings, in which this popular contest is to
be decided, appeared a mere skeleton of rafters, and nu-
merous carpenters were busily employed. The popu-
lace, too, were few by comparison with former elections ;
and the only placard eshibite.l was the following:—
" West • -ter Election. Those who wish for Reform
in Parliament will vote for Burdett and llobleonse."
The crowd, however, began to increase, arid several
persons soon appeared in the booths en•cted opposite the
hustings; but, still, there was nothing like that anxiety
'manifested, which has so peculiarly characterized West-
minster Election*.
At In o'clock Mr. Lamb, attended hir his Mende;
mile his appearance on ;he heisting*, and was grrrorotteNd
with a mixture of applause and some slight marks of
disapprobation. llr was soon followed by Sir. '
who was loudly cheered by the spectators, with Hob-
house for ever." The Candidates, on meeting each
other, took off their hats ; and 31r. lamb offered his
hand to Mr. Ilohhonse in the most friendly manner,
which was well received by the latter, rewinding es of
the words of Colman:—
" Jost like prize-Mores In • Oak.
Who first shake bands before they bow,
Taos Rive melt other mighty knocks.
With ell the io% Is; kindness of a brother."

The Elections proceed with considerable spirit,
sod in some places with a rancourous one. It has
slerallv been said on these occasions, that " the
heaviest purse carries the dad•." This is a dis-
reefs] maxim indeed, and if it were allowed to
odgootl universally, we should really deserve to
be enslaved.

Os the part of Sir J. OSBORN, the Candidate for I
Bedfordshire, it is asserted, that" the opposition to
hill is founded solely on an invidious and malicious
unick on his purse." What, then, do the name and
rt./cation f a man go for nothing Dow-a-days ?

The sstem of Government in England is come
to that relined pass now, that the Chief Magistrate
met ('oe lie whomsoever he may) is a greater
dicer than the Grand CONNETA st.E of France ever

to the Grand Slonarque in military precedence. If

It is presumed (says a Correspondent), that the
intim will not cease to recognize, with great in-
terest, instances of moderation affbrded by public
bodies, and our nobility, and other land-owners, on
the subject of rents. Indeed, what is here sown
Hi beneficence, cannot fail to realize a rich harvest
of gratitude, as well as ultimate advantage. The
honourable example of the City of London in these
frMeets, it is perhaps needless to mention.—The
Morin. intelligence (from the northern portion
of our land) has lately been received :—That Lord
File has lately been letting his farms, and has been
"el favourable to his tenants: though he might
hare got his rents raised, he would not accept of it.
Re told strangers who offered higher rents, that
they must have too much money ; that when any
of his tenants died without male heirs, he would
then let them have farms." The information goes
!)5 to state his Lordship's consideration for the poor,
io affording charitable donations, &c.

been at his post in opposing oppressive Acts, as well as
supporting the rights anal liberties of the people. There
was 110 hesitation on the worthy Baronet's part—nothing 1
backward in his conduct; and his earnest desire had also
been to recover those liberties we lead lost.—(Bravo!)
—lt was useless fur any Ministry to attempt to relieve
the distressed state of the nation without a Reform in
Parliament—(Hear:)—and having utentiosied the word
Reform. be would take upon himself to say, that no
elector would be satisfied without an unequivocal pledge
from the candidate in this respect—not some petty It..
form, but substantial Reform —(Do you hear that.

had no allusion to any names; be spoke generally.--:
(No, no, of course; many langLing.)—llis object was,
to procure such a Reform that must Operate as a check ,
to had Ministers, and to recover the lost liberties of the I
People. Ile had no more to offer, hut to propose Sir
Francis Burdett as one of their Representatives.—(lend
hums.)
Mr. Pcnse, silversmith, came forward, anal seconded.'
the Worthy Baronet.
Sir VII t NCIII Mit ISKTT said, it was rather unlucky for
hint that he laboured under a bad cold, and he was sorry
for the electors, fir fear that lie should nut be able to
make them hear what he hail to state, as it was his ut•
most wish to pay them every possible respect.—(Pitt on
your hat Sir Francis.)—After all that had been said by
the worthy elector, Mr. Stiircle, be felt softie difficulty
to guide 1 self on the present occasion, from time par-
tiality expressed lay that gentleman ; inure especially in
addreesiug those persons who might vary with Idm.
Ifni he must admit, it was grateful to his feelings to he
nominated for the choice of so great a body of enlight-
ened electors. It was a happiness to him at all times in
meeting with /1:/ large a holly of persons—meeting in
large bodies was the undisputed right of freemen ; it
was the antient memorial and usage of Englishmen ;
anal he was sorry to say it was the only remaining pri-
vilege left to Englishmen, to meet on such an occasion
as the present.—(blear, hear!) —lt was needless for him
to reniatk upon the limitations which hail been made
by the corrupt Manse of Comnions lately dissolved—the
most scandalous Acts had been passed during their
short period. But they were dissolved. Yet he co
not hold out any hopes for the good of his country
their re-assembling. In the course of five months, Ave
as wicked and unconstitutional Acts had been passed, as
ever disgraced the most corrupt Parliament. Acts that
welt to deprive freemen from commenicatioe ; Ministers
well knowing that freedom of thought must prodnee
constitutional liberty.—(Brivo! hear, hear!)—Before
he went any further, he held a book in his hand, en-
titled, " A (hide to Electors on the accession of a new
King!" which contained some very important matter.
The author was evidently a man of superior talent t anal
it contained documents that 'might to be !sensed by
every elector, respecting the persona assembled in St.
Stephen's Chapel, falsely denominated Representatives.
It clearly pointed out the earions sums of money that
the Members of Parliament put into their pockets; but
however clever this outlier might he, be was mush leis-
-1 taken if he thought persons in that llouse could contront
those guardians; as they haul been teemed, bait who
should be denominated as the Cut-Purses of the nation.
—(Laughter and applause.)—This author seemed also a
stranger, or rather with a Alas before his ales, or to use
the Language of the Route of C thong, it was as clear
as the " sun at noon-day," that the corruption of that
House was se peat, and the remedy so ieadequate, in
sending a few independent Represeutatives to overturn
It, that it might be compared to a few drops of sweet
water peered into the vast seas in water to effect an en-
tire change, as to entertsiu an opinion that a few per-
sons could convert so desirable a change among 'he

Members of Perlhanent. It was a striking fait, in so
short a time as at the commencement of the 'reign of
(leo. 111., that the taxes and the debt were only three
millions; but now the collection of taxes amounted to the
enormous sum of upward': of four millions. 'f heP.ame
Indict patronage had also been a curse to the country t'

be Nand, in turning over the debtor and creditor ac-
count, the !wino had been out of pocket. Before the I
present alarming state of corruption enisteil, the power 1
and influence of the Crown had always been the oh-
jert of attack ; best, for himself, he would rather the
Crown should have the patronage than the Borough- '
loungers. Ile WAR never afraid to say, that lie would.
not support the just prerogatives of the Crown, and this
was railed a Tory dm-trine. lie slid not object to the
privileges of the Croteu, as far as the law and !'onsti-
tution direcusl. Let the Crown support its dignity;
and the person ulna wears it Isis comforts and
his pleasures; hnt let the people have their rights,.
bet them not be rubbed and plundered without
their consent. Let the rights of the rumple of
Ragland be returned.—(T ltnous apidause, and
hear!)—He therefore had never been hostile to the
Crown; but he always was, and always should be hostile
to the leirouglistiongers, who held out the Crown as
motel their pensioners. This might he disloyal lan-
luage—it might be seditious language; hot it was a
nviage that might to be understood by the people and
the Crown. It was the proper (reline; according to the
old Constitution of England. In the above painpli-
fetwlsieh he had quoted, a variety of exposures bad
been made .....1 which entail not be denied. lie
would take one by way of a sample of the manage-
meat of the Howse of I 'onsioons which ought not to be
forgotten. In Intl', Lord Custlereagh hail been charged
with disposing of a seat in Parliament in the instance
of Lord Duolow g hut after the most serious debate on
the subject, he had been absolved from all ronseipienres.

will not permit us to give, in alluding to the armed
force used against them at the last election; and in also
recovering at law the expenses which their opponents
had been the means of creating. by breaking of windows.
lie also wished the Electors to recollect that the ground
was easy and sure to get over; and that the assistance
of the Ministry would not he given as before to their
opponent. lie should now retire obedient to their el • .e.
After the applause occasioned by the delivery of Sir
F. liurdett's speech, had partly subsided,
sir. Wien tar stepped forward to put the name of
Mr. Lamb in nomination.

Pile bad treasured it up fur a whole year, and no •
brought it forward, when he probably recollected it
bolter than be (Mr. Lamb) did. The opinion which he
den gave was this: be wished Win the right of voting
gym to those large towns %shit+ did not now poss..,s
the priiilege, and, when bribery and corruption veers
discovered in any borough, he wished the right of
ioffrage to be taken from that borough, and placed
the hands or the people at large. Ile thanked a friend
(Or calling his attention to one subject which he bad
nearly forgotten. It was true, as the Ifuti. Baronet had
stated., that he had said that Herons was making

and inconsistent plan of Reform—(Load uproar)--
which, he bad no hesitation in saving, was impractica-

which, for their sake he was sorry was not greater,
bad now, ha hoped, answered thime charges a hich the
Hon. Baronet bad mule against Min. He felt surprised
that the Hon. Fta •t should have adopted this course.
For his own part he bad steadily adhered to tits. prac-
tice of making no allusions to past events. But he
might recal to their recollection, how he had beau
interrupted and hooted ;—how his (derails had h: en it -
statist( and abused, and how, on many occasions, lie 114.1
beets silenced and diutelP-jitanded. dne word more upon
the subject of the window charge. The borough of
thwnistion had been called upon in pursuance (4 nor iii
our most ancient laws, and he felt surprised that the
Worthy Baronet should declaim against a law uhich 11:4
preceptor, Major Cartwright, had so loudly applauded,
and which Se himself only discovered die bail tendesscr
of, now that it was turned against himself. With rrj'itrJ
to lotteries, he hail always opposed them as cordially as
the Honourable Baronet could do. lie had now no snore
to sad. lie trusted that they would show the 'lurid
that lie was actually their Representative, and that I.c
should be returned by a triumphant majority.
Mr. Civakx in a speech of souse length, next pro-
posed Mr. Hohhouse.
This was seconded by Mr. De ViLLE.
Mr. llonnousa then carne forward, and was receive/
with the most enthusiastic applause. lie began by al-
luding to the pledge which he had given thrin at the
last election, always to be ready when opportunity
offered for serving them ; that pledge he hail already
partly redeemed, and he now came forward to r...leem
the rest. lie might say, that he had never been far be-
hind in the fulfilment of his promise; that hr had taken
every opportunity of making that prom* good; and
had sli what he might be enabled to do a s.pri,,A
to act in a more extended sphere. Ile 'sow again atoos4
forward as a candidate for their suffrages. Ile felt
perfectly the necessity of union in times so perilous, and
they might rest assured that lie would not hare come
forward to disturb the unanimity of the election upon a
trifling occasion. But it was no trifling point open
which he differed from Mr. Lamb. It was a point which
concerned essentially their welfare and existence as a
free people; and knowing; as he had many opportuni-
ties of doing, the opininns of the electors upon this sub-
jert, he conceived tat the return of Mr. Lamb npon
former occasion had been effected contrary to their wishes.
It was a well-known fact, that if those persons %those
votes had been rejected, had been permitted to vole,that
Mr. Lamb would never leaVe been ietniHel, and that lie
(Mr. H.) would hare been their representative. Misfit-
less many who heard him might he of a very different
opinion, 'but he stated it as Ilia sot belief, its the face
of the Electors of Westminster, and the country at
large. thats,
such was a putative fact, and that haki no
thus rightof voting been s Mr.lAniti would itYver
hare been elected. But the great point u;soi which Is
deemed Mr. Lamb unworthy of their suffrages (and
upon many titinbr point., lie had no hesitation in Favin
that lie agreed is ith Mr. Limb) wits, that he died nut
agree with the elector. of Westminster as to the essen-
tial and paramount importance of a general Reform

lie could save them the trouble, for he twilit it in his
hand. The report lie possessed was extracted from di!
Times, and he believed that, generally speaking, that,
paper furbished as correct and faithful an account as
