1 cc2lty, and that if he withdrew it, all tore of the' emancipation of Westmoreland a•as from that moment at an end. He therekre suffered himself to be put in nomination, and be after wards came among them, ex• erred himself, heart and hand, not in his CAM!, but their can e, and now, as they saw, had brought to a close tie third contest—but not the last—(Loud cheers) —and he appealed to every man who heard him, whe ther fi ieud or foe, if any man could have exerted himself mute firmly or more strenuously—(Cheers,)— The example was now set ; the spirit of the county was • excited; the desire for independence increased; and, 4 would increase until the final consummation were brooklet about, which was the glorious object of their exertions. So lung as he had life and strength, the cause should have his support, and " Again and again" should be their motto.—( Loud cheers ) [These words in blue are chalked over all the walls of Appleby.]— 'To himself, personally, as he had said, the result of the struggle was a matter of perfect indiffe:ence. Let uo one drink that he fought the battle to make a County Member of himself ; he did it to make Westmoreland a county, ant! not a close borough, like Appleby. It was therefore that he decidedly agreed with the Noble L 'rd, that this was a contest of principles, and not of person-. But he felt some dith.ulty in discovering what were the principles of the other side, except that the Lord Lieutenant claimed the privilege or right of putting in two m:nrbers, and those members his two s ons. Was it a principle that property should rule the rein esentat - on ? ( 4 ' No, no", from the crowd.) Ye.,, he aJuiltied it —(A laugh.) He admitted that the eh c use franchise Nsas strictly connected with pioperty.— And acre there no other persons in the county possessed of property and rank, except the L rd L eutenarit ? Writ tom in it no S.ickvilles, 'lotions, Clittons, Gra hams?—Nu blood in Westmoreland but the blood of the llouse of Lowther? If one man possessed of pro. petty to tire extent of 30,0001. had a right to influence the election of a Member i f Parliament, surely a number of persons bad the same right who could muster 30,000/. among them—(Clreess). And, from the Kendal Ward alone, he could select two per sons on his side of Vie cp.estion, who had as much pro. perty as the Lord Lieutenant possessed. But he would jut those out of the quesion and take his stand on the will and the voice of the independent freeholders, the best and only principle which ought to prevail in county elections. And now, in justice to his cause, he would say that their want of success on this oc casion bad not arisen out of any defect in the cause itserf, but out of temporary inconveniences, which, not being foreseen, could not be obviated. They hal not been defeated by the yellow cry of "No Popery." 'They had not tailed on account of the Ca tholics, as had been asserted by the friends of his oppo nents. He held in his hand a list of persons who pro fessed to have left the blue standard, and gone over to the other side on this account. On referring to the poll books, he found that out of seventy-nine names in the list, tbiity-one had refused to vote against them, al though they had signed-their names to tire declaration. boats names on the list be Low.' on the poll-book amonj those who had voted on the blue side. Several persons neither signed the docuurebt, he was told, nor authorized any other person to sign for them. And • some who did sign, or gave authority to sign, were told that the document was a petition against Catho , licism, and had nothing whatever to do with the election . But there were names there which unques -1 'dollishly stood in the list of his friends; and therefore he , hid a right to inquire a little if the reasons which they assignee for seceding, were in reality the true motives? I lie rather thought that the reason , if known, would prove to be as unconnected with the Pope as with the limpetor of China. For instance, Mr. George Steele, i of Mosland. Would he say whether he now farmed under a blue landlord, as he did in In% or tinder the Lowthers, or a friend of the Lowthers? What did ! Jelin Bewther say to the Pope? Why, he knew as much, I about him, and cared as much about him as about the Great Mogul. Let any man look to Pooley. There v.as a great house to be built there; and if Mr. John 1 liewsher, who was a carpenter, were not employed 1 in building it, why then John Bewsher, he would say, was the worst used man in the world. (Cheers, and I cries of Shame, shame.) He deeply regretted to be obliged to drag forward the names of individuals in this manner; but justice to the cause which he espoused demanded it. First on the list, he found the naives of two Clergymen, who professed to have changed their sentiments. Now it ,might be the fact, that t .ey themselves believed the reason wl.ich they had assigned to be the true one; but ha thought he could point out one whose blue ;ation being dead, had sought a yellow one, to %WM he would remain faithful till he could find another v.ho had More to give. Another gentleman was much in the sante piedicament; but if a. the end Of a dozen years, he remained stedfast to his bew-ieund opinions, and had no addition to his prefer 11).nt, then he (Mr. li) would believe that he had gone liver Int COMCIeI:Ce !Ake, and not from a hope of gain. AiLl now for another Rev. Genttemaii, the third upon e list. He ni ed not ask his motives tor originaLy sup- Pi Ling hint (Mr. 13.) because they acre stated in a speech delivered sonic years ago at Biouglh with equal lAlent and zeal. On Saturday last, when the a ot thy lien inan eniei ed Appleby, he made another speech, and tricii he said that hem iginaliy supported Mr.B. because he Ainmefi his exertions in favour of the Queen. • Compare this with the speech made at 13rough in 1818. Bat even flan was unnecessary. It would be sufficient to say, that Cie Que. n's case was not heard of tnl 18'20. • But Cie cry of "Nu Popery" h d been heard ot ! Ay, that had. And &at the Rev. Gentleman could nut be . seourant, of his (Mi. IV)) sentiments on that subject, he would q tote a passage from his own speech delivered at th.t "'hes which the 11ev. Gentleman must have seen, because printedolot only in the newspaper which he lead, but in evely other newspaper in the kingdom. " The Catholic Question is one upon which l Can never think of changing nay sentiments. I shall them fast with the most unswei sing integrity; a.id 1 would rather resign alt •"ope of rep esenting estmoi eland than act coati airy to i•hat I conceive to be my duty in this particular." What I! he had. seen this, and read this? and seen it and read lie must have done. And it was equally certain teat lie cotild not at the tune have known anything (1 what alterwaids occuired in the case off the Queen, noless he were gifted with the faculty of second sight. but he would quit this subject and return to a more important part of the question. He had told then) t"') contest was a conteetuf piincipies, and not of indi viduals or a Mere patty. Let them be encouraged by g ehecting that defeat had not hindered, them bow Art ito of that part of t're Minittry which was hostile to everything like freedom, winch hung on the count' y i ' • •• • • 6 1 10.6ftie, 1:;th wuulJ have Wig up the consti-. tution by the toots—that part of the Ministry, of the lingering and narrowed portion of which the Lowthers are among the most strenuous supporters. They had, in spite of want of success at the beginning, succeeded against them by perseverance. Had they been dispirited by defeat, they would not have persevered to save the country from the worst forms of home policy—to free commerce from its trammels—to relieve the people from the grinding weight of taxes. They would not have succeeded in delivering England from embarking to her eternal disgrace in the cause oithe infamous Holy Alliance abroad, and at home have prevented the thraldom of oppressive taxation. That these evils had been averted was entirely owing to the exertions of those who fought the battles of freedom at home and abroad, all over the world. If they looked elsewhere they would find enough of examples of success to pre vent this defeat from so dispiriting them as to relax their efforts. These examples should give them fresh spirts, encourage them to renew the bdttle. They nould see the friends of freedom in other pates of the kingdom crowned with success. In the capital, four Gentlemen, firm to the cause of freedom, had been returned. London had sent Aldermen Wood and Wai.hman to Pell liamenr. Succe-s had attended them at Worcester, at Dover, in many ether places, and last, though indeed not least, in Southwark, where his friends, his estimable friends, Mr. Calvert and Sir Robert Wilson were returnei in spite of all the exertions of bigotry, in spite 9f the raising of that base cry which they heard here againsc them. Let them be cheered. Defeat has not sunk the spirits of his friends who had failed elsewhere—uf Ltd Tavi stock, or Lord John Russell. cr Mr. Evans, than %%horn a more honourable man, or art retied friend to freedom does not exist. They were not depressed by momentary defeat—nor should he. Th it motto was Again and again;" a mott3 which should be that of freemen all over the world, as at present of the Greeks fighting fur all that was dear to man—of the Spaniards oppressed by a yoke which they long to shake off. ln fl ght, as in victory, such should be their watchword ; it was the watchword of Washington in North and of Bolivar in 'uth America.—(Cheers.) Their struggle had this peculiar merit, that its success would not only benefit themselves, but it would also benefit their adver series; he meant their adversaries such as be saw in the crowd; he meant the freeholders driven up to vote; not the adversaries whom he saw on the hust , ings about him ; they were beyond the power of conversion, for self interest and prejudice had com pletely blinded them and their party ; but he meant the people of the county, whether they voted for them or against them. This consequence of their triumph would be the most gratifying of its results, next to that of the approving voice of their own consciences. Let them not be dispirited. Though for a moment their day might seem overcast, though their prospect might appear dark before them, yet the clouds would br ak at last before the influence of the glorious sun, which would again burst forth to warm and enlighten, not only its worshippers, but even those who might have reviled its beams—(Loud cheering).—EMr. Brougham drew his illustration from the day, in the course of %Mar it was very dark, in consettence of heavy thun der clouds, which burst in loud claps aver the town, leaving the afternoon very fine and bright, as it was when Mr. Brougham was speaking.]—fir. Brougham then bowed and retired. Dr. ADAUTHWAIre addressed the fierholders, amid cries of 44 Turncoat," which almost rendered him inau dible. He said that be did not stand forward as the ad vocate of the cause of the Lowthers, for their cause needed not his advocacy, but as the defender, of his own character, which had been violently and unjustly assailed. He was obliged to come forward in this public manner, or to labour far ever under the imputations which his late Learned Friend had thought fit to cast upon him. Though be could not equal that Learned Gentleman in talent and eloquence, there was one point in which at least be would not yield to him, and that was integrity. When he had said that be supported Mr. Brougham because he was the friend of the Queen, he did not mean because he was her hired advocate, but because he was her great friend and adviser, the oracle to which she looked up for advice long before she left England. He then proceeded to defend the present Administration, and to boast of our having 80,000 mer chant ships; but a tumult which suddenly rose in the mob cut short his oration, and preven:ed him from pro- ceeding any further with his intended justification. The two parties ranged themselves almost instanta neously for battle; but the yellow party was so nume rous and so well armed with regular bludgeons, that the blues durst not face them, but retreated slowly up the hill towards the Castle. From the acclivity they poured down vol.ies of stones ucon their oppo nents, who immediately charged up it. tinder the chin mand of Lieut. Henry Pennington, R.N. commander of an 18-gun vessel, called the Pike, who made hirnseh particularly conspicuous by his veciferations, and his waving of his yellow-ribanded bludgeon. The yellows, in return lot the pelting they were receiving, began to pelt the windows of the house where the Blue Commit tees were held, and in doing so, flung several stones through the hustings at them, by which some Gentlemen were wounded. The hustings were soon emptied of half their occupants, some Gentlemen dropping off them, and others hurrying with breathless haste down the steps. Mr. Nicholson, Mr. Holt, and Mr. Holmes, M.P. chain guibhed themselves at this time by theirefforts to suppress the tumult, in the course of which the latter Gentleman was several times hit by stones. A blue applewoman distinguished herself during this skirmish; she seized bold of one of the boards of her stall and swept down etery yellow wh..) came within the circle in which she stung it. A comparative tranquillity was restored by the inter fereuce of the leading Gentlemen on both sides. A Gentleman of the name of L layering, who was a par tisan to the yellows, was going at the request of Mr. Brougham, among his clan party, to persuade them to enjoy their triumph without insulting their adversaries by their vociferous exultations, when a bludgeon thrown irons the top of the street into the crowd, hit him on the head, knocked him down, and renewed the riot. Mr. Brougham called out, Shame, blues, shame," and ap peared much annoyed by the conduet. of his partisans. The stones began to fly agate in all directions, and the blue committee-rooms were again ritte ked, but not as the yellows say, until some stones were thrown at.them from the upper windows of the house in which they are. The yellows having cleared the street of their oppo nents, became at la-t tranquil ; but before that time the hustings were entirety cleared of their occ opal ts. The Under Sheriff retiied during the uproar With several of the leadlng Gentlemen id the county into his house, where the nidenture of the return of the two Lowther: to Parli.rnrent was signed, staled, and etre , cum!. lie then came back to the rustings, and having published it to the freeholdat Who Were about, ;nfornrd i this that they might thendepart until further summons. 1$ less than an hour afterwards Mr. ikongham left the town itt carriage. a by hie broth e r. M r . W. Broug h am. — ccumpa4ied W I rtnmediately afters, the Lotlnhers were chaired tip and down the main streets, a the teclatnation of their followers. The evening passed off without any disturbance; and thus ended the third contest for the independence of Westmorland. NO la HU NI HER N D, SATORDAT Enema. After Mr. Lambton and Mr. Beaumont had been in terrupted on the Moor this morning, their carriages proceeded at a rapid rate in different directions, and Mr. Beaumont's was seen at an early hour near Belford. North Durham (the nearest county nut of Northumber land), travelling at a rapid rate in that direction. There is every reason to believe that this route was, on the emergency of the interruption, fixed upon by the parties, as affording the most convenient chance of getting soon out of the local jurisdiction of the Ma• gistracy, who were now alive to the pursuit. Earl Grey, who had rode on horseback at three o'cFck in the morning into Alnwick from his seat, and taken, in com pany with his son-in•law Captain llu!keel, the road to the Moor, unattended by a single groom, was soon in formed of the interruption. The Earl instantly repaired :o his daughter, who had spent the night alone at Cat tenach's lodgings, in that distress of mind which was natural to a Lady in her situation. His Lord,hip's presence composed and comforted her, and he imme diately took her home to Howick, leaving in Alnwick Lord Howie k, General Grey, Captain Bacon Grey, Cap. tarn Charles Grey, and the Colonel, having continued with Mr. Lambton on his route; the other personages above named, in the early pa , t of the morning, leaving town also, separately, and in the manner leapt likely to attract attention. As evening advanced, the Edinburgh M ill, and a few other travelling vehicles, were eagerly watched, in the hope of ascettainig whether the passengers had heard any thing of Mr. Lambton or Mr. Beaumont: A few moments after the arrival of the mail some of Mr. Lambton': friends arrived express at the Swan Inn (Alnwick), and it was then communicated that they passed horn Belford to a field adjoining the strand at Bamborough, where, about three o'clock, and during heavy rain, Mr. Latnbton and Mr. Beaumont were placed on the ground, at the distance of 12 paces, and immediately exchanged shots, without effect. It was then considered that enough had been dose for the use of a hasty ex?ression upon the hUstings, and the prin cipals were taken from the ground by their seconds.— They behaved with great composure. Mr. Lambton proceeded to Howick, and Mr. Beau mont shortly alter returned to Alnwick. Captain Ker informed the crowd in front of the Swan Inn, from the window of Lord Howick's committee room, that the affair had terminated without bloodshed. This intima tion was received with great enthusiasm. Mr. BEAUMONT, in person, from the residence of his Solicitor, thanked the people who had assembled in front, for their kindness towards him, and merely re marked, that in such an unfortunate affair as that itr which he had been jug engaged, the less which was said the better. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Rumour is busy in making out various statements of what is passing between M•. Beaumont and Mr. Lamb ton, who are unfortunately engaged in an affair of konour; but at six o'clock on Saturday evening, the whole business WAS cleared up by the arrival of the seconds at Alnwicls. Mr. Lambton proceeded across the strand in the direction of Belford, where an ex traordinary scene took place. Mr. Lambton and his friends were mobbed by a concourse of people in Belford, which detained them at die inn from twelve until near three o'clock. and they were, after en during a variety of insults from an infuriated popu lace, who happened, from circumstances of local ex- citement, to be in favour of the adverse Candidates, only able to extricate themselves through the active interposition of Mr. Thomas Alder. a Magistrate._ Upon being released from this crowd, they proceeded immediately to a field on the strand at Bamborough, where twelve paces being measurei, the principals fired a case of pistols without effect. The seconds then with drew them from the ground without any further expla nation. Both parties behaved with the greatest corn posure. The intelligence that the duel was over, without any fatal occurrence, was received in Alnwick with the greatest joy. GALWAY ELECTION. Jose 29.—Mr. Lambert has an immense majority of voters—a majority of upwards of 700, though the poll can remain open only five days longer. Mr. D'Arcy, whose estate adjoins that of Mr. Martin, at Connemara, on Wednesday last, brought about 1.50 of his own " forty shilling freeholders" to vote for Mr. Lambert; and, in order to secure them from the fury of the Martinites, be brought them in a small brig by sea, and, fo r th e ir further secu rity, they were placed altogether in a house near the Market-place, under a guard of constables. That same night, however, the Martinite mob overpowered the constables, and set are to the house, knock ing down and cruelly beating the unfortunate wretches as they attempted to escape from the names. The house was totally con sumed, and one nun at least was burnt to ashes. Whilst this was going on in the town, another party of the Martinites-.- fishermen calling themselves " the Pugh-boys," set fire to the brig in the harbour, and burnt her to the water's edge. This out rage induced the uriff to call in the police of the county, and they arrived on the following day, about 180 men, well armed and mounted, but they were instantly attacked by the Martinites, who pelted them with shingle, and whatever else they could lay hold of, amidst yells of "Spar Martin for ever! yak whoo4 / " All this the police endured patiently for some time, but their patience only increased the.fury of the mob, and at last one of them, a but cher, lost his life by the stab of a bayonet from one of the police men, whose head he was just in the act of striking with a great stone. The death of this butcher allayed the ferment at that time; and dace then the town has been tolerably quiet—that is, for an Irish town; and the polling has gone on rather in favour of Mr. Martin, but still leaving hitt; in a minority which It is almost Im possible for bins to reduce so as to insure his return. A party of Mr. Lambert's voters, after having polled, were placed in a private piece of :mud at the back of Kilroy's Hotel, until means should be found for securing them a safe retreat from the town. The mob broke in upon them, and were belabouring them furiously, when Mr. Lambert's Committee, who were then at dinner in the hotel, rushed to their assistance. Some of these Committee-men, it seems, were armed witlipisiefs, and in the scale poor Jerry Sullivan was shot to death, and three or four others were wounded. Whilst I was learning these particulars, I saw the Mayor and other officers of the town rusk into the hotel, escorted by a party of Grenadiers; and I afterwards learned that Mr. Thomas Lambert (brother of the candidate), and seven ether Gen. denten were arrested ; and will remain in custody until a Coroner's Jury, which will be immediately summoned, shall have decided how this frerb outrage happened.

The eighth Annieersary Festival of the Society of Cabinet Makers, 71, Leadenhall-street, was yesterday celebrated at the White Conduit House. A most numerous assemblage congregated together upon the occasion, and the harmony of the evening was kept up until a late hour. The &sleets of the Society, and the laudable purpose for which it was host established, were set forth in appropriate speeches by several Gentlemen, which met with unanimous approbatkin. It afforded ns considers Ve satisfaction to see the dinner so wen and so respectably attended The purposes for which the Society was enrolled deserve the support of the Pub 1k ; and whilst its. concerns are conducted with the mine liberality and spirit as it has hitherto been, it will no doubt meet the support and patronage of a discerning Public. .6 Brass-founders also made a grand exhibitiott, having, la ad.

KING'S THBATRX —The Opel a announced for Sa turday evening was the Aurelian* in Pullman ; but, owing to the in. creased indisposition of Signor Vetter; it was impossible to pet form it ; and Madame PASTA being likewise ill, the only Opera which could be produced at so short a notice was the rietro Making due allowance for omissions, owing, we presume, to the short time allowed for Its preparation, this charming Opera was well performed. As Pietro, Signor Posts° appears to great advantage: the character is more prominent, and affords more scope for vocal exertion than those usually allotted to a bass voice : in the lama. rime he displayed great power of voice.
