IVESTMINSTER ELECTION.

In the early part of yesterday morale( the bustle
en the Hestinp was by se means proportioned to the
interest with which the approaching cooelesion of
the melee is contemplated. Bet about two o'clock,
deemed boom, as great as we ever recollect to have
Mu it during any hour in this contest; the mem-
hers of which it was composed were sot, however,
so quiet u they had been daring tit. early pert of
the day. Several fights io cnneequesee took piece
before the Hastings, and were followed by other in
such quick succession, that we tuay almost assert,
that from two till fear o'clock, not a single someM
linefeed which was not marked by the cessation of,
•e old and the commencement of a new bottle. The,
noise was gets deafening, and can tasty be properly
conceived by these who herd it. About a quartet
past firer, the members were declared Is be as fol.

They were received with cheers by the friends of both
parties. When these had subsided, Mr. Hosnouse
ease forward to address the Electors. He opened
his speech by observing, that the cause of the lode-
peed's, Electors of Westminster had gained a naajo.
rely of 100 voters epos that day's poll, and would
have been still sae seccessfel if the weather bad been
lees teaspestams. He was happy to inform them, that
there was still dams enough left to vindicate he U.
berty of Westminster; cad he therefore could not
we that say gross& were given them for despon-
dency or despair. The inconvenience of the weather
was not the oily circumstance which had prevented
his majority is limit day's poll from being greater
them it actually was; a more efficient reason was
to be fogad in the disgraceful meant which the
party of their antagoolst had condom:aided to em-
ploy, In order to hinder his supporters from resales
the Hastings. The mesas to which he alluded less
the empint most of a gang of hired r 011..., who made
a point of instates; every individual who appeared to
be a supporter of the same sentiments with himself.
—A friend et his own, a Mr Mosby, of Winspole-
street—[Here a Gentleman came forward sport the
platform, and stood for some time with his hat off,
as if toady to ennfirm Mr. Hobhoose's stateniest],—
bed met one of them is a caw?, et no greet distance,
snood with a battle-use, and vociferating most
loudly " lamb for ever I" He had himself left two
men in his Commitser-room, bleeding profaaely from
the limeade whirls they had received from woe of
tbosa fellows; the only offence which they had gives
coalesced to haling cried out " Hobbes,* for ever I"
bet this was oorreets for the maims who sarrnewded
them--they bad so sooner tittered the words, than a
cry was raised " Down •ith 'es," end a brutal
•rtsek was commenced upon their persons.—( Load
cries elf Shame, shone !)—H. amintaloed, that
this was a 'sorsl of she regular practices
which formerly used to direace the contests
for Wessmioster, and at:pressed his firm cooviction
that murder would, before the end of the present
Election, be committed by so.- of those who were
yogic d is them. The outrages which he had stated I
to them, he was able, if necessary, to prove io a
Court of lAw, as also who were the ruffian. that bad
committed them, what was the place from si 'nth they '
Rad bees taken, and who the individual. were who
had disgraced themselves by hiring thew. He could
distinctly prove that hie adversary, who bad posted
on the Hestia.s a placard, stating that his friends
would not in (stare be molested la their way to the
poll, had done every thing is his power to obstruct
the passage of all who were sot laclioed to vote with
him. His coodect was a widths' of Sir M. Mal.
• coodect during the last election. That gallant
.Seer, at the time wise be knew that a hired gang I
was parading the streets ander the command of Caleb
Baldwin, sad tertrifting the prsceable Electors of
Westminster, took so opportunity of saying that his I
voters were intimidated by the friends of Sir Francis
Berdett, and could not advance in safety to the poll.
Such as assertion was entree at that time. end was
*gamily destitute of all foantlatioo at present. Ile
(Mr. Hobbouse) would not affirm that Mr. Lamb
was acqesinted with the regular organization
which bed taken place ; but if he was not, he
(Mr. Hoblosee) could tell him where he might
obtain information regarding it: he would not

should refer him to shaee Gentlemen who transact
for him the dirty work of this Election. The par.
tin engaged In it were Notorious characters; some
of them were known to him (Mr. II obhouse) by name,
and it was ~nly to prevent accidents that he forbore
to mention theta at the present moment. After ma-
lag some further abeereations on this bead, Mr. Hob-
bit's* proceeded to state, shot he did not know
bow to reconcile with common sense the complaints
which Mr. Lash's friends were daily uttering against
,
popular ascents, and the danger to be feared from
raising popular Indignation against the adherents
to any party. If, however, popular indignation
bad been raised against the adherents of Mr.
Lamb, it had bow raised by no invectives of his, but

been brought against him by a Paper, which he
should not denominate by any other title then the
orgso of the Whigs. Theylrers as false as many of
those which he had previously refuted; bet they
were mere injurioes, because they wore sore intl.

had accused him of a mis.statement in saying, that i
while be was caevessiog Westainiter against Sir

finger in his behalf. "Is this statement," said th-
eater, "gene sweet ? What I not a stogie 6.1g0•

serer denied that be had some peonies of support

Whiggish arpuseet to maintain that the mere pro-
mise of sappeet wee stirring a Seger in any san's
cause. Thee came another insinustion, in the shape
of a presties, which it gave him great pleasure to see
that be sheeld Stable to contradict in the presence of
Mr. imerbtoo. It was es follows—s, Hs it not

who Mb Ashy pseederd him support, before they

expostulations passed? No verbs! commanieations?
No written *aimed teroous on his condact ?" This
paragraph was calculated to help a lame minds, that
bad bees propagated I. some of the daily Papers,
that he had been called epos by Mr. lAmbron sad Sir
Ronsld Ferguson, to give an explaeation of the
words " Political Apostate," which it had bees
said 'bat be had used regarding Lord Grey. Those
Gentlest,. certainly had waited upon him, bat it was
for a very different purpose to the one 'opposed. He
appealed to Mr. Lashio. for the truth of this es-
*action. [Her. Mr. Immbron sodded emit.] He I
was certain, before he made the tipple!, that Mr.
Lasbton world act with the caodour which distio-
guished hid( on every occasion, and would tickers,.

staotially correct. He had afterwards made a prig
Sate cosmunicalie. to the two individual" whom he
had before mentioned, bet he bad asked 'hue sot to
act upon it, and to this request we understood him
to say that they hod acceded. This was the only
commonication which be had bad with the Whip;
and instead of submitting to any indignities, as
had bees smarted, none haJ even been offered to
him. It was, therefore, nothing else hot dove-
right malice which had driven the writer in the
aroaide to give poblicity to such unjust, such en-
founded,

Mobhoese then commented upon smother sentence,'
which asserted that " he was net ignorint of the

cesefelly to prevent say new Candidate from glen.

lasperatlon of falsehood sod malice or she heeds of
those who had broeght it against him. lie then ptid,
that he should not detain them any logger. except it
were to urge this not to roles in tie esertion‘ which
they had already made, end to guard, beyond all I
ether things, against committing any breath of the
peace. From whet he bad heard, he dittoed it his
duty solemnly to recommend them to be tranquil, I
and in spite of every taunt and insult, to trust eat to
their own feeling, but to the lairs and °Multiage' of
the country : if they did bus follow his advice en
this paint, justice they should hare, if justice was
wanted. as be was detetiniiied not to see the Eleztort
oi Westminster bullied by any set of mercenary
ruffisos.

'Fhe ronrlssion of this speech was welromed by a
mingled shout of disapprobation and applause.
Mr. Lusa then came forward, when a moss hide.
ens tupelo immediately arose, and continued ell the
time that he attempted to address the Electors. It
was so g►eet, that we, who were close to him, could
not distinctly hear slat he said. As far as we could
understaed, be spoke to the following elect
:
As the Gentlemen before him did not seen, inclined
to listen to his statement, he should schisms wh•t he
had to say to those individeals who were clos► around
I him. To them he could not help remarking, that
the victory which their opponests thought that they
had just achieved, was, considering the day of the
week on which it had occurred, little etre than
a signal defeat. His honourable antagonist hod
talked mach to them about hired ruffs:t•, as if he
were totally goikless of employing such people:
and of the commission of neort:or, as if it were I
crime which the Electors of Westminster cared little
about committiog. Ile should net follow the Hon
Gentleman into these charges, because be thought that
their best refutation was to be found in their osn ab-
sordity. lie was sorry that the Electors would not
hear the o►servatioos which be wished to make upon
the other mentions which Mr. 11obbonse had pro.
dosed against him and his potty, because he would
pledge himself, if they would but attend, be would
show that the doctrines which Mr. llobhonse advo.
cated were most unsound end unconstitutional. In-
deed, hi 'species), that if he RIM allowed to ad.
dress them on these points for sae fortnight, they
would be more reedly to stifle his woke by hums,
at the expiration of that time, then they were now to
stile it by groaning end vociferatioo. The applaeses
which Mr. llobhouse at present enjoyed, wooed this
be turned into hisses and execrations, sinless, in the
interval, he (Mr. ilobbouse) changed his tone, and
Wormed how to become an Englishman. Mr. Lamb
then obsessed, that Mr. lli.bl.ouse had not 11,11WITIPfl

forth on Saturday. Indeed, he had no doubt, that
loudly as Mr. litiblmose now declaimed against the
principles and practices of the Whigs, he wild not
hesitate to profess himself an admirer of them, if
such admiration ever appeared likely to serve his
swims,. The noise here increased to such a pitch,
that Mr. Lamb did not end to go on, but
bowed to the tooltitode, arid wished thee good

should beg leave to make a few observations au t►e

quite impossible for may person, even et this late
period of the Poll, to tell spots what principle' he ram..

friend to the poor, though he had emitted to state,
what was very material to bit case, that he was a stilt

to the last quarter-day, would come and tender tneir
votes; betas* he was certale diet those votes weld
be established whenever they were brought, as they
'hoard be brought, before a proper *Ablest. To what.
ever else Mr. Lomb woe ■ friend, he was not
• friend to the Freedom of Election. This was
seisiently evinced by the practices to which his had
resorted. He (Sir F. Burdett) treated, however,
that Westminster would not be bullied by a set of
hired ruffians, aid that it would not be deterred by
the violence of • Whig party, who were eager to re.
new their ancient practices, from doing that which
was consistent with its sense of duty: over these ob.
stack.. Westminster ought to triumph, and ha had
little doubt but that It possessed seihoimit spirit to
declare that it was not to be sohdeed by them. It
bed been brought as • matter of serious accesatiou
against Mr. Hobbeum's CommitteP, that they had
charged Mr. Fog with htvingomployed sholeace, and
with having actuallpoccasinned murder, in one of that
contests which he hadstood for Westminster: be would
now appeal to them, •hether measures of outrage sod
violence bad not beep-employed by the Whigs, and
would ask them whetheadir. Hobbosse air& hiairelf,

matter of record, that falsehood, bribery. end win-
',nee, were formerly the only roads by which Gen.
tlpmen attempted to gain the b of representing
Westminster in Parliament. The lion. Baronet theta
stated, that Mr. Lamb, in e- written speech which
'he had sent to the press, had mid that be (Sir F.

bet, contineed, the Baronet, though be may assert,
the country will not believe ii.—( Load clve,tuz.)—
lie (Mr. Lamb) had also said, that he (Sir Frio.
cis Burdett) had professed ►imself the supporter
of Whig principles at Brenifnrd. This showed.
' tech total igno f the daily newspaper. reading
informatics, of the day, that it was unnecesirry to
comment upon it for a moment ; and he should,
therefore, proceed to the nest charge which Mr.
Lamb had tnanefsetered egvinst nies—tbet of hae.

ever, said that h. had net deserted Mr. Foe till after
his death. Now every body knew that he lost the
represeetation of Middlems because he would not
connive at the artifice" of the Whigs, because he had
tienoenceel the coalition between Mr. Fog moil Lord
Grenville, between those who professed an attach.
meat to liberty and those who bad shown themselves
its most implacable enemies. If, however, be had

when he had knit been made Prima Minister. It
was then, when a man who bad had any private feel-
ings to indulge, or soy Mier interest to gratify,
would not hare allowed the geed deeds shah be bad
done them in their adversity to remain forgottra, thi.t

♦e had deserted Mr. Fax; and it was of loch a derv.
Brion that Mr. Lamb accreted hisel—(Lung and

Middlems election, became he thought fit to pro.
