Hut if lie has' united in his 1111V3.11 uilli Mr. Mellish, that indeed might well Ise de nominated an unprineililed ro a lition, that gentleman haying never agreed with him is lion any Parliamentary question fur the last fourteen years that both had heets returned for this county.—(.lpplause.)—lle was not so bigtorrd or lerant as to rondenin those who differed from bins in support i the Ailusiuistration which lie was• nrgeil by a seine of ditty to oppose: hut lie should clef. tainly feel it impossible to coalesce with such an elm.s nrnt.—(Applasis,•.)-111th regard to the politiral plea of Mr. Whitbread, it was imeossible for hint pre nsely to answer for thran. He hoped that they were the amine as those of his universally admired ana lamented father; and he recollected that for twenty-six years he never happened to differ in opinion from that great and govd —(Loud plaudits.)—llist Isis canvass having commenced three weeks before Mr. Whitbread was ex pected to stand, the fart was, that he never canvassed tor a second vier in his favour.

Mr. Sheriff PAS LINs denied that the freeholders could experience any uhoruction in coming to the poll ; but from what Mr. 31ellish hail just said, he felt it proper to renew his injunctions to the consiahles to enforce the at rangements %illicit he hail ordered at the outset of the election, anti he cautioned the agents of the several can dilates nut to impede any voter's approach t o the boo. • lugs, as such impetliownt might serve to annul the elec tion. The Sheriff again us--ertell the right of any free holder to address the 'fleeting, and announced that Mr. Clarke was about to u., so. Mr. CLARAE %aid, that Ise came forward as an avowed Radical jitefortster, haring souse property in this county, to :nukes few observations. lie took .haute to hinsself i far nut having sooncr tleciare-I in favour of one of the l candidates, who hail expressed his resolution to support a thorough Reform. But confidence, as it hail been well ols.erved, was a plant of slow erowtls, and although Mr. Whitbread was the sou of a truly great. and truly good mall, whose memory was deserving of annual celebra tion throughout the empire, he thought him at lint a mere Whig, likely to ••• as any leaders of his party dictated. Upon further itoptiry and information, bow- ever, he fotand this young gentleman a Whig of the right sort —a really indepreolent i'hig, who WAS determined to follow the example of his illustrious father, by voting according to his town ronseienee, without any regard to the dirty,. of party, or any leader. Therefore that gen tleman had his confidence, and Planuld have all the sup port in his power. (If Mr. ityng's genets! principle., Ise really imolai not srak with any precision, although he load * often met that gentleman in private, and licarsl him deliver his opinions in public. Mr. Bente, no doubt, declared in fasoloor tie Reform ; but Mr. Whitbread, he found, went farther, for he pledged himself to act in sup port of that great me: came. lint as to the declarations of opinion, what did they Nig:dry? If the Administra tion merely declared in favour of Toryism, he should not he disposed much to complain; hut when they yin hodirtl their derlarations in at bitrary measnres of legi slation, then, indeed, there was round for romplaint. The same argument, be apprehended, might be applied to the Reformers, who contented themselets with mere professions. and if they diel not act, they had, in his view, no claim aro" the confidence of thr yetiple.-011- philiae.)—Mr. Whitbread had declared in f.iyour of tho rotoOt Reform, also declaring that to be a !railing tines thin which be pledged himself to support. Hence that gent leman's claim to public confidence was much strooger than that of llr. Byttor, especially as he regarded Reform as the primary, vital, paramount question to which the attention anal exertion of the country ought to be di reetell.—(Applanse.)—On those grounds he would most ardently aopportilir. Whiihreasi, and be lisped the votes illhis favour would routinne solo multiply, as to distin guish the eharaiter of the county, and decide the fate of his opponent Isy an overwhelming majority.—{Loud and long continued plaudits.) _ Mr. I'.

Why, then, sl hi Mellish pruseente theitrontest, and dies pier trouble to the comity. cud delay the return of the two hereditary patriots, in whose favour the great majority of the electors felt such a derided interest : Mr. Sheriff Names complained of some asisrepre summations of his conduct in the press, with regard to which he declared his intention to appeal to the law of the lanml. Ile bad been called a Itattlieul, but his radi. calisum consisted in doing all the good in his power to the people; for Listener, he had eontrilmted UV. some time ago to relieve the poor of Carlisle ; but this l ima, with some hundreds advanced for the senor purpose, the corporation of that city hail scandalously applied to ins prose the banks of the river. Some lime afterwards, he furnished Noll to 1,300 starring individuals at Carlisle. at the comparatively trifling expense of about 311/. And what a shame open the rich inhabitants of that district, that so many people should have been allowed to want, when their *ants could bare been relieved by so small a anus. These were a few of the instances of that radi calism which be had evinced, and which be should con 'lime to evince throughout his life. 3LILIGNANT DISORDER IN TUE ISLE OF FRANCE.
