WESTMINSTER ELECTION.
SATURDAY, Two o'CfocE.
The crowd at Covent Garden is by no means so great as might have been expected, though it is very considerable. Agreeably to our anticipations, though pretty noisy, it is perfectly good.humoured. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT and his chosen colleague have each addressed the electors. Not a syllable that either uttered was heard. There was a leette pelting; but the missiles were soft— a Conservative head might have defied. them. Colonel EVANS is at this moment speaking, with great acceptation, as may be judged from the frequent cheers. There are no sounds of a contrary kind ; and it may therefore be reasonably inferred, that the greater part of the crowd at least are his wellwishers. Apparently the business of the nomination will be over in a very short time.
