Where there were 15 Liverymen employed, were by
the Clerk refused admittance, •r an opportunity of
speaking to the Liverymen there employed, being in-
formed that Mr. Wood's principles could not be
countenanced there. lie declared that he should be
ready at any future period when called on by the
Livery to give them an opportunity of asserting their
rights.
Mr. GRIFFITHS then moved the thanks of the
Meeting to the Saer!fs for their able and impartial
conduct during the Election.
Mr. TARDY seconded the motion, which was
agreed to unanimously.
Mr. Sheriff &Aims in returning thanks, took
occasion to recommend to the consideration of the
Citizens the necessities of the numerous family pri-
soners in Newgate, which the SherLffs had got trans-
ferred over them from the late Sheriffs.
The Meeting then adjourned.

laugh, and Hear 1 And,- Gentlemen, Mt. Rose's
wishes succeeded ; you have your religion, and be
has your money. laugh, and hear!] Mr.
Rose in this pamphlet, and all those who pursue his
policy, call upon you for sacrifices. There are no
sacrifices, Gentlemen, which Englishmen ate not
ready to make, and ought to mike, for the preser-
vation of the honour and glory of the country, as.
well as for the dignity of the Crown, and the happi-
ness of the Royal Family ; but I, for one, am ready
to make no sacrifice for the enriching and pamper-
ing of those who render no public service, whose
I conduct in fact is equally injurious to the Country
and to the Crown.
Mr. Ross came forward, and after observing that
he had been frequently attacked by Mr. Cobbett,
admitted that he had been liberally rewarded for his
public services, but asserted that the reward alluded'
to by Mr. C. to which his son would succeed, was
granted in consequence of a vote of Parliament. As
to his son, Mr. R. declared that he was not in the
receipt of any part of the public money, although
he had rendered important public services in his mis-
sion to America, which, from a desire to benefit his
LI country, be undertook at the risk of his health, at
the worst season of the year.
Mr. Cosecrr observed, that truly the grant al-
' laded to took place in consequence of a vote of Par-
' liament, and such a vote was among his strongest
I objections to the character of that Parliament—was
! indeed one of the best reasons that could be adduced
to show the necessity of a Parliamentary Reform.—
With regard to the public 'services of Mr. Rose's
son, the fact was, that the mission to Amerkibr of
which the venerable father so pompously boasted,
was one of the principal causes of the war now ex-
isting with America, and of all those afflicting dis-
tresses in the manufacturing districts which were de.
tailed in the evidence taken last session before bctb
Moults of Parliament.
Here the Sheriff, in the usual form, put the names
of each Candidate to the Meeting, and some differ. •
ence of opinion, with considerable discussion, took
place as to the show of hands, Mr. Cobbett's friends
alleging that the majority was decidedly in his fa-
vour, the friends of Messrs. Chute and Ileathcote
asserted the contrary. The Sheriff decided in favour '
of the latter, and after this decision, at which Mr.
Cobbett and his friends expressed great surprise to
Mr. Thistlethwaite, Mr. Cobbett declined going to
the poll. Messrs. Chute and Ileathcote were there.
fore declared duly elected.

HAwvattnE Ettcrtort.—On Tuesday a Meeting'
took place at Winchester, for the purpose of electing
two Knights of the shire. The number present was
quite unprecedented.
After the usual formalities bed been gone through,
Messrs. Chute, lleathcote, and Cobbettl were put iu
nomination.
Mr. CuutE, after observing that he rpm before
had the honour of addressing a more nanerous and
respectable asfemblage since his first election for
the County, assured the Electors that he continued
to entertain the principles which originally recom-
mended him to their attention— that he was at-
tached to independence—EA laugh, and Hear,
lt, ar, hear n—and resolved to maintain the in-
terests of the country in general, and of Hamp-
shire in particular, according to the best of his judg.
meat. AL-

A Friend of Mr.
•f that Gentleman, by stating that he was
extremely indisposed. [Aye ! exclaimed a voice in
the crowd, he is afraid of Cobbett.] Here the Gen-
tleman was called upon for some testimony as to Mr.
/leatecote's illness, and he produced a certificate
from, as he described him, "one of the most emi-
nent physicians in the empire,"namely. Dr. Mackay,
of Scuthatepton.—[" What!" shouted the multitude,
" one ef George Rose's friends. "]—A certificate
from Dr. Mackay was, however, produced, but not
being d. erred satisfactory, was very ungraciously
received by rue Meeting, some of whom pronounced
It a mere pretence.
Mr. Cozen, then came forward, and addressed
the Meeting a speech of neerly two hour's con-
tinuance beginning with a representation of the
duties of himself and the Freeholders, upon the oc-
casion which called them together. Ile then went
into an enquiry as to the fitness of the other Candi-
dates, compared with himself, and contended, that
As to fortune, independence belonged not to it, but
like content, appertained solely to the mind; iu
support of which propositon he cited numerous in-
stances wherein men of great fortunes and high titles
bad long derived, and still did derive, considerable
sums from the public purse. Adverting to the fallen
state of that class called English country gentlemen,
be observed, that some of them were In the habit
of accepting the most paltry stipends from the
public purse, such indeed as might lie well deuomi-
nated petty larceny; an example of which he men-
tioned in the case of a Mr. Henry Minciiin, of Scher-
who appeared very noisy for loyalty to-day,
and whose name he round prefixed to the sum of
291. 13s. 4d. as mace-bearer to the Irish House
of Commons, which is in fact no longer in eaist-
ence. This case he quoted trout the memorable
Report moved for by Lord Cochrane; and from the
same Report which contained so much precious
Information, be also quoted instances of some
Noble Lords, so remarkable for their humility as to
become packers, porters, guagers, searchers, wharfin.
gers, and tide-waiters, for the public good; and of
Noble Ladies, who graciously condescended to be•
come housekeepers and sweepers of malls from the
same patriotic motive. But there were others re.
cordel in this book who were actuated by still
stronger feelings of public spirit :—For instance,
one Noble Lord had 38,0001. a-year, another
350001. a-year, and a third 20,0001., and some from
10 to 15,0001. a-year, all from the public purse, al-
though their patriotic acceptance of these large sums
was not alloyed by any plea of indigence, for their ,
respective revenues were quite ample. But there
was a particular Gentleman whom he recognized in
the Meeting, and who was tolerably well know,' in
the country, namely, Mr. George Rose, who had I
been so marvellously persevering in this patriotic I
career as to have received, its principle and le-i
*rest, no less than 300,0001. of the goblin
ney. The son, also, who was lately elected for I
Southampton, appeared to inherit the father's vir-
sues, for he had the reversionary grant of above
three thousand pounds a-year. But there was no-
too high or too low for this description of
riots, from the princely revenue of the Noble
J.ord Arden, with 38,0001. a-year, down to Mr. Alin-
chi 291. 13s. 4d. being scarcely the wages of a foot-
man. To be serious, however, said Mr. Cobbett, i
to this accumulation of useless grants I attribute the
real dangers of the country. It is true that the enemy
against whom we have to contend is tremendously I
powerful; but from his power, were it ten times as
great, I should apprehend no danger, were the re-
sources of this great country well and honestly ap-
plied.
England, though little in body, yet great in
soul, rtht set the world at defiance, were it sound
at heart E-were its spirit properly excited—were its
Government justly and judiciously administered.—
[Loud cries of hear ! hearl]—Therefore, Gentle-
men, I never do speak, nor have I ever spokeu, the
language of despondency. I have never presented
any of those gloomy pictures whichsre sofrequently
laid before you by those who always conclude with
an attack upon your purses, who would alarm you
with the Devil, Bonaparte, or some hobgoblin, com.
ing to snatch your lives and property—who uni-
formly endeavour to excite your fears with a view to
make you pay them for your security. I remember
when Mr. George Rose, in the capacity of an author,
laboured so hard to convince you of the necessity of
preserving the blessed comforts of religion, by al-
lowing himself and others the quiet retention of their
places and pensions ; that in face, melees yes per-
mitted Ids to -bold about 19,0001. a .yeersof year
money, your souls would be is jeoPardy. [4l

Boston —on Wednesday, the 7th instant, the
Election of two Members to represent this Borough
in Parliament commenced, as usual upon sach occa-
sions here, in the Chancel of the Church, when three
Candidates were proposed for that honour, viz. our
two lute Representatives, the lion. Drummond Bur-
rell and W. A. Madocks, Esq.; and Sir Abraham
Hume, who was unsuccessful at the late Election.—
Mr. Burrell vas nominated by J. P. Holloway, Esq.
and seconded by Mr. Suaith ; Mr. Madocks by Mr.
W. Barnard, seconded by Mr. Rowland; and Sir
Abraham Hume by Mr. Alderman Wayte, seconded
by Mr. Alderman Henninp. The Candidates, tsco.
ther with their friends, having taken their pietist ea
the hustings, and the Mayor having declared the
show of hands to be in favour of the two former gen-
tlemen, a poll was demanded on the part of Sir A.
Hume, by Alderman John Wayte, and the forms
prescribed by law having been gone through, the
polling began, amidst a crowded and elegant as-
sembly.—Mr. Clarkson, Secretary to the Whig
Club, was Counsel for Mr. Madocks ; W. Harrison,
Esq. for Sir A. Hume; and Mr. Holloway acted as
• legal adviser for Mr. Burrell.—The following was
• the state of the pall on each day:—
Burrell. Marlocka. Horne.
Wednesday . . 204 126 1611

Thursday 22 I 1
I 263 2O

The polling was conducted on both days with be-
coming decorum, and closed about half past twelve
en Thursday, in the manner above stated.
On the po:! being closed, Mr. DRUMMG:f Bun-
RELL addressed the public in a short spech, in which
he expressed his acknowledgments for the honour of
being re-elected one of the Representatives of this
Borough, and said he should continue to pursue the ,
conduct which had so warmly met the approbation of
his constituents. Ile pledged himself to support
such measures as were calculated to procure peace ;
to lessen the *Mks' of the people; and to provide
fur them the necessaries of life on more moderate
terms. This, he said, could only be effected by the
abolition of wins places; the curtailment of our j
national expenditure ; and by fostering the pursuits
of agriculture throughout the empire. lie had al.
ready exerted, and would &dubious to exert,hWwst '
strenuous efforts to promote such desirable
Mr. Burrell concluded by saying, there was a be.
lief entertained by some, that Ministers intended in-
troducing a Bill into Parliament for the purpose of
abrogating the sound Constitutional euactineat by
which it would necessarily terminate within a given
time after the demise of the Crown, and to pass an
act for its prolongation in violation of the popular
right to elect a new Parliamet, and for their own
security as Ministers. Such a measure should have
his decided disapprobation, and the right of free
election ever have in him a most strenuous defender.
Mr. MADocas followed amidst a tumult of ap-
plause. After returning thanks for the support he
had experienced, which, whilst it was in the highest
degree flattering to him, and no less honourable to
his friends, was felt with the gratitude it was calcu.
lated to inspire, he said his future exertions in behalf
of the people, whom he was called upon to repre-
sent, should shew how much he valued their favour
amid partiality. Such an honour should operate as
the most powerful stimulus, if he wanted any, to
his endeavours to promote the public and private In-
terests of his country. lie was determined to labour
to the last.hour of his existence in in good a cease.
Ile called upon those who heard him to cherish each
principles as bad the rights, the privilegesl and the
interests of the people for their object, as they de-
served ; sad added, that, although be thus professed

lieved there had been a fair and honest poll, and he
could not help congratulating the electors of Boston
on the selection which they had made • the men whom
they had- returned, • were, he believed, honest, and
deserving of their suffrages. It had, he said, been
judged, necessary to introduce the word " Peace" and
the term " friends of peace" to obtain popularity. I
He could with truth affirm, that Sir Abraham
Hume yielded to no man in his desire to see a
speedy and honourable peace restored to the coon-
! try. •He himself, though a soldier, felt the same
desire. " But •Peace" (said Colonel M.) " is not
to be obtained by cringing to the enemy, hut through
an arch of victory. Our gallant countrymen abroad,
among whom i have had the honour of serving, hare
done much for the attainment of Peace, and will yet
do more for that end, and the national glory. Col.
M. concluded, as did the two before-mentioned
speakers, by expressing his thanks to the Mayor for
his honourable and upright conduct during the elec-
bon. The expression of so much caudour and grate-
ful acknowledgment on the part of the unsuccessful
Candidate called forth the most enthusiastic applause,
j and in the tumult of approbation it would have been
difficult to say which was the triumphant party.
IMr. Burrell and Mr. Madocks, our old Members,
having thus been declared re-elected, were chaired
with great exultation by the populace round the Cross,
and through the different streets. The chairs were
richly and fancifully decorated with the colours of
the respective parties, blue and orange, and the whole
bag ta very fine Wan.

It may be rememhered, that the account of a trial
before Sir J. Mackintosh, in India, relative to a
bond connected with extraordinary circumstances,
appeared in the Papers within the last year. It ap-
peared upon the trial that the bond had been ob-
tained upon compulsion, by a man of the name of
Sterling, who was in the habit of allowing gentle-
men to be more than warrantably familiar with his
'wife, and then threatening them with the conse-
quences a the law for criminal conversation, if they
refused to submit to his pecuniary contributions.--
It wet proved that this man 'had such an ascendancy
over his wife by the arts of intimidation, that she
las the witness who was to give evidence against
those upon whom he intended to exercise his raps.-
city: The result of the trial was, his eternal dis-
grace. We have been just informed by a Corre-
spondent in Madras, that he bore the decision of the
Court and thecensure of the Judge with great com-
posure and equanimity. His wife having dee!ared to
the Court that she could no longer live with him,
has been put under her father's protection ; and nil
the assurances and protestations that he could otter
were ineffectual in prevailing upon her to return.—
This latter circumstance of his wife's entire disap-
proval of his conduct has affected him so much, that
he actually built a chapel, in which he officiates him.

he is visited is methodistical, and such is the influ-

he has already made numerous converts to the opi-
nions he professes.

ELECTION ANECDOTE.—At a former contest for
the city of Rochester, the candidates, a Mr. Fair-
fax and Sir R. Twisden, were desirous of obtaining
the vote of a barber, who hung hack in expectation
of receiving some special mark of favour in return
for his suffrage. • Mr. F. going into his shop to be
dressed, complained that the razor was net in order,
in consequence of which Tensor said, he had been
some time in want of oil, and could not set his ra.
tiers. lam one of your friends, said Mr. F. and
you shall not want for oil. The same day he sent
him a large jar of oil, supposing it would induce the
barber to give his vote. Sir It. Twisden having beets
informed of the circumstance, went also to be
dressed, and took occasion to observe that the barber
had a good stye in his back yard, but no pig, the
barber of course intimated that he was too poor to
stock that part of his premises. if so, said Sir
Roger, you shant want a pig long, and a few hours
after the barber received a good fat hog as a present.
The next day he gave his vote for Sir Roger, and
'being asked some time after why he had not voted fur
the candidate who gave him the oil, he observed, it
Is true I received a jar of oil, but Sir it. Twisden's
pig knocked it down.
Extract of a letter, dated Ayr, sth October:—
" We had a dreadful storm here on Saturday night,
It blew a perfect hurricane ; its effects have been
truly melancholy. About eleven o'clock a
went down at the flar.mouth, and every one pet
d; it being so dark and boisterous no assist
could be given, but the cries of the sufferers
