hers was a onion of all interests, against the in.
dependence of Westminster. Bet he would tell them.,
and he would tell that portrait's monster itself,
setwithstending all its multiplicity 6f heeds, and all
ks variety of effotts, that there was a Hercules that
would lay thelsonster low and sprawling at his feet ;
this Hercules 'was common honesty.—(March ep.

the Electors would do their, duty on this ecomion,

of a pony slid paltry Aristocracy, who Ind at that
crisis Milted themselves against the voice of the
People of Englead.—(Applawre.)—He tressed that

the paltry artifices of the other side to gull them
out of their indepesdesece, and form them to eat

Sir Francis Burdett then wired, accompanied by
Zir. llobhense.

Mr. Wooten then came forward amidst loud up.
roar. lie said be came there to ascertain who was
the popular favcierite, and if he had not be.. able
to ascertain who was, upon looking to the state of
the poll, he certainly discerned who was not. (Ilisoct,
and louder*: of " Off, off !") If the electors did
net eiab to hear Lint. i.e would retire. (Cries" lVe
don't—le off Iliad gosr Black Dwarf sad your

without delivering any speech.
The business vies thin concluded, with the as.
ception of a determined attack upon Mr. lluot, who
remained on the hastier till 40 last, and who, epos
gutting into • hackney coach which waited fur hies,
was assailed with dreadful eateries. and only escaped
a tougher handling, by the quick driving of the
coachman, who left a crowd of assailants behind,
venting their displeasure in angry words. The car.
riage was, however, followed by marry to Mr. Hunt's
Louts in Norfolk.street, where a sett of opposition
shout of frievids and lose was kept up, until both
sides were fatigued, and mutually agreed open a
retreat.

In the mouse of Saturday morning, a party of
Mr. Lamb's friends, who were parading the streets
wit► a belill4W sod a baud of magic, met two parties
of Mr. Ilobboose's supporters who were engaged lag
s similar porsoit. A skirmish ensued between them,
which ended in the defeat of Mr. Lamb's partisans,
who not merely suffered the loss of their drum, bet
were also obliged to submit to the loss and destruc-
tion of their cylciers. The held of battle was in the
vicinity of Piccadilly.
