The Beene before the Hustings *ai, disrint the

Numerous constables kept the stenties to the place

Burdett, beseeched the people to afford a candid and
impartial hearing to every Gemtleman who addressed
them, wittiest reference to the particitsr Candidate

theirs, should be characterized by impartiality to

(" Wr'll hear him.")

Mr. Ewa sail, that before he adverted to the
message, which he was requested by that gallant
(bracer, Sr M. hlaxoell,to deliver to the Electors of
Westminster, he had in thank the worthy Weer's,.
who last addressed them for 1114 courtesy and kind.

they were present, and he regretted their absence,
they would be most forward in manifesting a literal
disposition towards their opponent.—(Cheers.)--
Having expressed that conviction he had next to die.
chase his duty to the wishes of Sir M Maxwell.—
He had seen him, within the last two hours, on his
sick bed, and he was directed by that gallant and
'distinguished Officer to convey his expression of deep
regret, in being still unable from illness to appear be.
fore them. Every man who heard him lamented, he
had no doubt, the cease of his absence. Indeed, he
believed, that even the wretched man, whose info.
rimed siolence had led him to the commission of the
outrage, now felt the most penitent remorse. Ile
did not charge him with any premeditated malice—
on the contrary, he believed it to proceed from a
momentary impulse. Fur when was it the character
of a geouiiie Englishmen to fall upon an adversary
wholly unprepared end returning to his home in the
1 consciousness of security ?—(Bravo!)—What of-
ifence had Sir Murray Maxwell committed?—(Cries
from the multitude, "lie is the nominee of corruption,
the minion of Cattlereagh")—lle bed appeared
before them as a Candidate, in obedience to the soli-
Icitation of a most respectable body of Elector,. He
had yesterday attempted to show them, that the most
linspiriting passages in the records of English history
were those which related to the elective struggles of
Westminster. Never did there appear such a cam.
bination of talent, patriotism, valour, and intre-
pidity, as these records illustrated. And yet, in
these times, it was the habit of its Electors to return
as one of their Representatives a Naval Officer of
high character.—[" Never agais."]—They acted
with sound discretton,and nobly rewarded the valiant
men, whose heroism and valour had upheld the glory
and secured the independence of their country. As
the successor to that class of men, Sir Murray Max-
well was invited, uniting, as he did, to great mental
acquirements, the most fearless intrepidity, and the
most conciliatory qualities. There bad been an alto.
*ion to the appearance of an exalted public character,
in order to poll for Sir Murray Maxwell. It would
be a melancholy prospect for the privileges of Eng-
lishmen if ever the day arrived, when the elevated in
rank and station took no pride is the exercise of
tbeM.—[sr No Castlereagh here !"]-110 thanked
them for their attention, and expressed his confidence,
that Me moment of Captain Maxwell's recovery
bi osild anticipate his return for Westminster.—[Cries
of " Never, serer ! off, off!"]
Mr. KINNAInD then stepped forward amidst loud
cheering. He acknowledged that he felt some de.
gree of inability to discharge his duty to them that
day, in consequence of seeing, so unnecessarily
placed, en array of constables amongst the mob.—
(" Mob," said Mr Hord, 66 what an epithet to ap.
ply to a large assembly of Englislmen.")—The
word, continued Mr. Kinnaird, was not nieriit in in
improper signification, it merely described a large as-
sembly of people. No man could be disposed to de.'
preciale with which be wished to be connected. To
that mob, therefore, he belonged, feeling that it syss
such mobs as those he Paw before him, that pined
for England a higher character with the friends of
freedom through the world, than oil it... Court
dresses of Europe could prodoce.—(4rploure.)—
Bot (looking at Mr. Hater), was it from stick a twir-
ler that this taunt of ungracious language was to be
expected?—(Cheers, and laughter.)—The reception
