On the name of Altlerrnameornbe ;weal ing of the
head of the poll,theii were loud shoots of appr.,na.:
tion throughout the Hill ; and great hissing witert
the names or tile three Candidates next on the
,lisi e ore
put up. tfpoa the names of Mr. Waithmau
.and
derman Woorbeing displayed, there were eery feud,
demonstrations of approbrion.
Alderman Cone presented himself to addrets
them, but the Livery, or rather the populace, oho
then filled the Hall, appeared not to be gle;irons of
hearing speeches, and kept up perpetual slow which
rendered it impossible for arty thing he should say to
be heard. He then pointed to his name at the head
of fhe poll, bowed, and retired.
Sir W. Cuterts; Sir JAME 3 SHAW, and Alderman
ATKIN9, also presented themselves ; and as it was evi-
dently impossible to obtain a hearin4 ; they painted
to the numbers on the poll, and ma le their bows.
Mr. WArriman then came forward, amidst the
loudest applause from the great majority of the per-
sons in the Hall. He evidently Wished to obtain a
hearing, but the vociferous applauses of his friends
contributed still more than the hisses of some of hi*
opponents to render it impossible to collect with any
accuracy *hat he said.
Alderman WOOO alio spoke for some time du:
ring a clamour that made it impossible to hear hie
observations. All that we did hear was, that he con=
sidered it rather their cause than his; but that he
should give them the ftelest opportunity in his power
te exert themselves, and to succeed. He also corn.
plained of dictation being used on the part of the
East India Company, interfering with their rights,
and the freedom of election.

Mr. Waitinossi and A:dertrin Wood *ere vely
family cheered by the nittiority of the ;seism,s pre.
sent, and the former Gentleman had the holies taken
hem his carriage., and VlB9 drawn by his pdttisans tr
his Cortniiittee-room in Cheapsidt.

Mr. Tomorrow came forward to address the moetw
ing, amidst a storm of hisses and at : we
understood him to express his gratitude to his friend,
for their efforts through the day, which had placed
him so high on the poll. lie blamed the frii.sids, of
Mr. Burdett for persevering, after all chance of secs
cess had vanished, lir disturbing the peace of (be
Borough.
Mr. (Luxes'; amidst loud Mails of appladse, ree
turned thanks to his friends, for the support .5 t,icit*
they had given hint through the da., , by which I e 04
been enabled to poll wetly as many as both the
other Candidates together.
Mr. KEMMISII then addressed the meeting on bee
half of Mr. Burdett. Mr. ThointoO tad said, he
was at ra loss td conceive who were Mr. Burdettl
supporters; he would tell that Gentleman who they
*ere—they Were formerly his Constituents. [Ad...
plause.] He Wished no* openly to declare that the
friends of Mr. Burdett were not Mr. Calsert's ene-
mies ; ou the contrary, they were his Wo.Mest saps
porters. [Applwoet.] Mr. Cotters had alluded to
the tiring of the guns : they wore lit(leed fired to
Commemorate the success of our brace army ; success
from which Mlni•ters claimed credit, but with whirl,
Lord Castleieso i:id atyrr&4,"l4 41,3)141'h
to do as Mr. Cakeit's drayshorses. [A Ittiqh.] it
had been said that Mr. Burdett's friends disturbed
the peace of the Borough, by keeping the poll open
after all hopes of success had vanished : he denied
that they had done so ; the moment they despaired
of success, they would Withdraw.
The poll was then adjourned till nine o'clock
this day.
