SURREY 'ELECTORS:

trine he Wls &Reeling was very unpopular with
many. After a variety of other observations, the
Honourable Baronet renclotled with returning his
sincere thins to the 1017 voters, who had raised
the county higher in the public estimation, if possi-
ble► than e'er it hid been heretofore.
Ile then proposed the health of Mr. Burt.
Mr. Bva•t reprobated the selling of Seats in Per-
lian►ent. Every Freeholder ought to set his face
against such a doctrine. The county was princi-
pally endangered by the friends and supporters of
Placemen and Pensioners.

Yesterday there was a dinner of the Electors of
the County of Surrey, at the Surrey Tavern, Ken.
nington, Tor the purpose of commemorating the late
glorious struggle for securing the independence of the
County. The Chair was taken by idr. Andrew
Burt, who read a letter from Sir Joseph Mawbey,
who was expected to fill it, regretting that in con-
sequence of an indispensible eligagemmk he was
obliged to be in the Isle of Wight that-day. Several
professional singers, and the hand of the Surrey Yeo-
manry, contributed to the conviviality of the Meet-
ing. - After the cloth was removed, the following
toasts were given—
The King, and Cod blest Kira.
