HUN TINGDO.V ELECTION. TUESDAY EVENING, CLOS!: OF Tlif: At six o'clo:k this cycning the bkrili proclaimed the numbers ws under:_ ilandeville renown . ... . 9f;R I 91 I I The. Under-Shetiff then came forward. and pmclaimA Lord Mandeville and .Mr. Felloace to be duly elected Members of Par liament__ Lord fifeeentvieer, in returning thanks, said he hardly knew whether to consider hi' return as a duty imposed, or as an honour conferred. His former habit* of life prevented him from bringing :my thing beyond indir try and integrity to their services, but they might depend upon him to the utmost of his abilities. He felt peculiarly grateful to :Nose who had worn his distinguishing colours; but still he should never forget those who. although they had worn the colours <X his opponent, had always treated him with respect and friendship. (Loud applause.) Ile could not but con. sidcr his return as a merle oe respect to the family of which he was a member; and he could assure them he would endeavour to revive those days in which the talisman of the Montague* was a protec tion and safeguard to the county. Ile trusted his friends would chow as much motivation now that the victory had been gained, as c:er had done during t::e contest. Mr. Fneeowts conic forward, but was received at first with coneiderahle disapprobation. Silence being obtained, he said that, notwithstanding misrepresentation had been resorted to against him—notwithstanding that his opponent had began to canvass be fore he was aware that a cc: test was intended—and notwithstanding that fignres had been dressed up to insult hint, still they had done him the honour to appoint him their Representative for the fifth time. He begged them to accept his thanks, and his assurance that the same ;me of canditet a hich had hitherto obtained their up. probation would be ad pied by him in future. Lord J. RussEt.t. 'yoke nearly as follows:—Gentlemen, al though I have been defeated in this contest, still there never was a defeat lees accempanied with circumstances of disgrace. We have ought bravely and well, and if victory has not crowned our ef. fans, still it is • prise resented for us in other times. There cannot Le is stronger proof of the independence which we have achieved, than the tact that there have appeared I:58 electors foe us; and although our opporents can boat a lager number, still, larking at the !dumpers, the advantage is all on our side. Thus t lac are, for Lord Mandeville, only 27; for 31r. Fellowes, 113; but for myself Berl ;dumpers. (Immense applause.) This is suf. tinient. to chew, that although a majority had been obtained against us by threats and compulsion, still there are nearly 650 inde pendent freemen who arc determined to exercise their right tri b• out fear of meaace or hive of reward. Gentlemen, it is but a s'oort time bask when the representation of this county was settled in a rely private way, and when a Nobleman in the neighbour hood h.d undisputed sway. and usually named Its representatives 1:1 iii' drawing-room at Hitchinbrook. (Applause.) Gentlemen, I thiiik I may Senture 'o say that time is past, never to return. and diat the a ml attain of the House of Montague can never be rer,trei. (Loud elteering.) me to revert to the circum. stances under which I was first introduced to you. A large body of your yeomanry sent me a requisition, which I accepted, and. although unsupported by any influential Noblemen resident in y ter county, 1 threw teeen my gauntlet. It was not accepted, ,t7i, wi bout orpodtion, I was returned your Representative. Bu' it see us that those who had influence among you—those who b..rteital nannies for places—those who made tools of such as they 1,7,,c ant to confer honours upon —were determined to make (CCI•VIVe CfrOrt to regain their power. All the property, all the 'l 4 :ho a ry, and rent the Clerk of the Peace, were made agents hair cen*pireey: anal it is not surprising that, with these CIV- should have gained the victory ; hut still it was a vien.ry Lo is tardy and itoperfect. (Great shouting.) Had they Oen. eet the spirit of the county would have displayed itself as it ILL: done, I believe thee would never have entered upon t-e ; and although That contest has ended in giving rot a triumph, ad 1 it 1.-.4•4 but the triumph of ;he mom e nt._ tn,:elp!a that could not last Those who had voted for me i-ad l'401;C so without compulsion. There were none that I could infliier.c:—none that 1 could control; bat they were men v.iL'i to to secure the:r own independe ace and not . perhaps I mar 1 alleiced to say, displeased wth my ;fforts in Parliament. It ii to On yeomanry, the kdepen, , ent !erre public spirited yeemonry of tb.s c unty, that l ant in - debt-id. Their honesty shines re. s;1 rilent. when contrast•el with that of those, who, although cot - hie: by station, by property, and by intelligence, to be inde. ;render..., a ill suffered th -rentelves .o be enslaved by the servility of their own minds. (Loud cheering.) It sill ever be a consola tion to hm.w. that nay conduit has received the approbation of Si 'barge n parti n of the ireeh deters ; and although the majority is on the side of nay opponents, st . ll the wishes of the independent per: of the c aunty are on mine. In referring to my Parliamen tEy conduct. I can assure you my wishes have ever been to do duty. I have never wished to and to the burdens of the pro. plc or to diminish their liberties, and I reire from this contest *vies the pleasing satisfaction of not having to bear either your cc sure, or the reprnach:s of my own conacience. I trust that ytu hare 1.0• el etel wol represent you, I will not say 311-te nontstly, but more ably, than I have done. (Loud cries of '• ha is impassible.") I trust that the influence they have ex ercised over their dependents will not tin exercise-ti over them, b t tea: they will jusdly the promise of independence they hare made, aed preserve the liberties of the country uninjured and unimpaired. I have no feeling of personal hostility to my oppo nents ; 1 have hmeht for a public quest on, to be decided on public grounds. 1 now take my leave of yo u , f u ll o f gratitude for the conti.lence you formerly bestowed on me, and for the generous sump at you have now afforded me. (His Lordship retired amid bud and centinued plandhs.) Mr PRYM, the barrister, begged to address them. A celebrated ancient Gementl had, on one occasion, when complimented on his stiesess, replied, " Another such victory, and lam ruined." Ile elEd n mean exactly to apply the observation to the successful can. didatm, tir he was • are they would never get such another victory. Tb: return of Lord J tin Russell had be a, certainly, for the re am-. 101 t, but the cause of independence had been most certainly gai eI. That cause had its rise in the increased intelligence of the nje, and had displayed itself in the increased efforts of their yeomen, into had shown themselves disposed not to yield their privileges to the drat n:-rooms influence that far. icily prevailed. They had e.rd t f talisman o the house of Montague. It was a talisman eeeti ibo e who ton lit and bled under 3 former Duke of Man. cbreter in days-of civil commotion. Happily those days had gone by. and he trusted h a pr sent descendant would make himself as ihluttrous n .he Se . • tr, as his forefather bail done in the field.— He Lad no fa ilt o fi d with Lord Alandeville; be was a most r:nitat le man in pe vice life, but he feared had not the talents, en.lale else, sal Sc tuirements, of the Noble Lord they had re j,cte!. Ir,r, + lard JOHN Ruset Lt. stepped forward. He begged to pro pcie a v, to of Clanks to the J 1 t h Sheriff; whose impartiali, and ixentinn we C well known, and were a thane of admiration with all. Miley./ they might diner in other points, that was one in a , ;:11 they must all agree ; and he trusted that, now the contest was over. the tidings it had excited would be forgotten, and universal trt:er tkidp prevail. Lard MANDEViLLE was most happy in seconding the motion. Mr. FELLOWES begged to say, he fully concurred in the mo tim. and the sentiments by which it was accompanied. The HIGIt tiutairr, in returning thanks, assured the meeting that all that be had aimed at was the performing of his duties in a lair and imparti.l manner, and he was most happy in receiving their arknoirledemer.ts. The mcetiag was then dissolved. BEDFORD AECTIOX. JuNE 20. The town has presented a scene of great animation all day. The Tad:ing goes on with great spirit on both sides. The second and third .ura Mr. Pym had the advantage of 33 votes, but soon lost it bthe steady pdling of 31acqueen's supporters. r.Whitbread, whose brilliant talents make him a very inte :. ..rg personage at an election, parades with great dignity in front .q Me Swan, where the Committee of Mr. Pym, and his stalking ham-, Tar:stock, meet, and the lion. Gentleman takes such a de cided lead in the election, that he has offended many of his own ewers in the town, and will, perhaps, find it out next election. T . ..e Candidates, Tasisteek and Ppm have given notice that they will enforce the Bribery Laws, and Treating Act, if a single thaior receives aught to eat or drink after his journey ; so that after a E rty. shilling freeholder has come twenty miles, be may vote for Tav:stock and starvation, Pym and penury, and then lie dawn exhausted at the foot of the hustings, and groan out his blessings on purity of election. The Siteriff declar,d the state of the poll at hall past foar to be rs under : alacqueen . 11031 Pym 638 Tartstock it i 3 olonel 3f ACI/1; EEX then came forward, amidst loud cheem, to thank the freehoders fur their exertions that day. Ile had, tram various eircumatances, anticipated that the threatened efforts of his opponents would have left him in the minority on that day's poll. tut he had ;coined, and he owed his further advance to the good opinion and the kind exertions of the fteeholders, whom he . cordially thanked for the honour which they had again conferred. (Immense cheering.) a A Gentleman teen stepped forward on behalf of Lord Tavistock, but making a most unfortunate expression, which was conc. ived (by an individual) to be an insult, he was made to swallow his words again, and, thus discomfited, the speech, which he appeared to have learned for the occasion, was gone, and he retired. 31r. Prat, junior, then begged to thank the freeholders, In be half of his father, but was reputedly interrupted by different questions. (Why don't you bring your father to apologise to the county fur breaking his word ?) Ile (Mr. Pym) did not know by what right he was question e d, b u t h e wou ld say , t h at hi s father 's manhunts were still in accordance with his address in 1025 he had no wish to be drawn from his retirement. (Oh, he's the tool then of a party, is he ?) Ills father was averse to it, and he (Mr. Pym) had stated so on the day of nomination. (No, you said he would be happy to serve if elected.) If h e was whiled with yesterday's progress, he was more so with that of to-day. The Honourable tlen'lrtuan (Mr. Maequeen) had claimed an advantage that day ; lie (Mr. Pym) also claimed an advantage, for his father had aained. (No. no, and disapprobation.) Ile conceived his father had ; fur on the day before 3lr. 31acqueen had polled 20 more than I ilk father, and on that day he had only polled 15 more. (Immense '‘sughter.) lie would keep the poll open ; there were 11 days more to contr. Mr. PULLEY wished to say a few words/ The Marquis of Ta. •„...ock, the friend of tt.e Pope—(cheers and laughter)—had polled I:ut hw more than Mr. Blaciazea—(elisapprubativ..)—and Mr. Pyrn's claim of advantage reminded him of the Ili.lttnen's horse racing; when asked how his horse, which was hindmost, *as get ting on, he said, he was winning wiry fast—lie was driving all the rest before him. Wirers and laughter.) 111 r. Pulley minuted at some length to reprobate the underhanded conduct of the coalition, and was repeatedly interrupted by the applauses of the aitacnthly. Colonel llacqueett is the only Candidate who faces the electors, and he is cheered by the populace wherever he appears. YORK COUNTY ELECTION. (From the York Courant.] We announced last week the resignation of Mr. Bethell, as a Candidate for the representatir of this county ; but the step taken by Mr. Bethell, no doubt, upon mature deliberation, has, it seems, excited much regret in ntauy parts of the county, and it has principally manifested itself in the West Riding, where much exertion has been made to bring hlr. Bethell again forward to. morrow, the day of election. The tiro public announcement of this design, issued from a meeting held at the Black Bull Inn, at Wakefield, on Wednesday last, at which a series of Resolutions were passed, expressive of the regret of the me e ti ng at M r . B et h e ll' s retirement, and that a subscription be commenced to bring him in free of expense, and to take other measures for securing his elec tion. A Committee was also appointed to sit daily in furtherance of these objects. Bills stating these circumstances were generally posted in the principal tosns of the county, and no ordi nary sensation was created by them. Those who had re conciled themselves to the disappointment occasioned by being suddenly deprived of the pleasures and profits of a contest, were again upon the ,ui vire. and were raised to the very tiptoe of expectancy. The meeting at the Black Bull was followed by others at various places, but we cannot learn that any thing deci sive has resulted front them. One of these was called by an ano nymous notice, at Leeds, but it was only attended by about a dozen persons, who separated without transacting any bnsiness. Mr. Bethell's committee-room, in York, was kept shut up, indeed, after the declaration made by hi r. IL ; neither he nor his Committee, as a body, can take any further steps in the affair ; and should he ulti mately be again put in nomination, it must be without his advice or concurrence. 't hese rumours and efforts awakened a correspond ing degree of activity in the Commit! es of Lord Al ikon and Mr. Marshall, and Mr. Wilson and Mr. Buncombe, who proceeded to take all necessary precautions. We understand that a note was sent by one of the Candidates to the Under-Sheriff, expressive of die possibility, under present circumstances, of a poll being de mended ; and should that be the case, of his determination to per severe in the contest, and requesting that booths for taking the votes might be in readiness. After a message to Lord Milton and Mr. Marshall's Committee had been sent by the Under-Sheriff, ac quainting them with this circumstance, the necessary orders were given, and the booths are now proceeding with. But still the ex pectations of a contest do not rest upon any certain ground ; and whilst these precautionary measures arc in progress on the one hand, the requisite festive preparations are in equal activity for the four Candidates now in nomination to complete their triumph to morrow. The banquets are arranged, and elegant ears are pro viding for th e customary processions. However the atlitir may ter minate, York will exhibit tomorrow a more animated scene than even on Monday week, the friends of the respective Candidates, within a circuit of thirty miles round the city, bring expected to attend the proceedings. Lodging, are taking in every part of the city, and orders have been given to the various inns and public. houses for the most extensive accommodations. " AVIIITBY. JUNE 9. " I write this from Lord Milt on and Mr. lilarehull's Commi l tee. room. IVe are all in active service uplift, in consequence of the friends of Mr. Bethell having determined to proceed to a poll." FRIENDS OF THE CANDIDATES FOR THIS COUNTY.— Amongst the friends and supporters of the Orange crew in York shire, Milton and Marshall, we find the following distinguished names :—The Duke of Norfolk, the Duke of Devonshire, Earl of Surrey, Earl of Thanet, Earl of Carlisle, Lord Dundas, Lord Morpeth, Lord Nonnanby, Lord Stourton, Lord J. Cavendish, Lord Palmerston , Earl Cowper , Earl Roslyn, Lord Petre, Sir Francis Lindley W oo d, Si r Geo. Cavley, Sir IV. B. Cooke, lion.

Johnstone, and Sir Charles Anderson, Ban. The principal supporters of the Pink (Mr. Bethel]) are, the Earl of Harewood (Lird Lieutenant of this Ruling), Lord AVamelifle., Mr. %Volley, Mrs. Lawrence, of Studley. and a number of other distinguished individuals. The Blues (Wilson anti Duncombe) clam, as their supporters, the ilillarchioness of Hertford, the Earl of Scarborough, the Earl of Mexborough. the Earl of Dartmouth, the Earl of West. moreland, Lord Ribblesdale, Lord Ilothain, Sir J. L. K a y e , Si r Charks Ibbetson, Si r John Lowther, Sir W. Foulls, and Sir J. Beckett, Bans. THE CANDIDATES AT SIIEFFIELD.—On Tuesday se'nnlght Lord Milton and Mr. Marshall visited Sheffield—" About two o'clock (says the Sheffirld Iris) a most splendid procession, consist ing of many of the most respectable gentlemen in this neighbour. hood, in carriages and on horseback, accompanied by severa l o f t h e Sheffield Sick Clubs and the Society of Odd Fellows, set out to meet them. The entrance of the procession into the town was magnificent beyond description. It resembled the pageant of a coronation, or the triumphant entry of a conqueror. Indeed, nothin,, ,, could exceed the enth us i asm di s pl aye d on t h e occas i on. " Both the Candidates addressed the assembled electors. Mr. Mar. shall was introduced by Hugh Parker, Esq. and was most favour. ably received. e arc credibly informed (says the fralayfeld Journal), that yesterday a deputation from the Wakefield Blue Committees set out in a chaise and four for York, having for their object the calling forward of Mr. IViil oug hby, t h e nep h ew o f Lard Middle ton, to offer himself as a third Candidate on the " No Popery" in. terest. We cannot help surmising that this measure his had its origin principally with a few choice spirits, who are loth that the good doings of a contested election should have so short a date, and are willing to keep them up a little longer. CHESTER ELECTION. [From the Chester Costraxt.] The poll was again opened at the usual hour on 3fontlay. 111 r. 'Attorney-General Hut appeared on the beatings this morning, as Counsel for the independent party. About twelve o'clock a flag of distress was hung out on the Grosvenor side, on the appearance of Mr. John Walker in their box, it being well known that he would avoid coming to the poll at all if he could be dispensed with, and that whsn he did come the party would be gasping for breath. lie bore with apparent good humour the hoitonts which were heaped upon him, from one side of the hust ings particularly, and answered only by repeated bows. His young man, Henry spencer, who remained firm and unshaken amidst all the endeavours o destroy his constancy during this contest, also voted this forenoon, having returned from I.ivcrpool, whither he was despatched on his master's Madness early this morning ! The conduct of this noble-minded young man is a fair specimen of the Incorruptible virtue of the Freemen of Chester in 1826. ARRIVAL OF GENERAL. GROFENOR—DREADFUL RIOTS. About three o'clock this afternoon General Grosvenor arrived In town. Ile drove up to the Exchange in his carriage, and was es. coned to the poll by a body of the ship.carpenters. He was re. caved with the hooungs and yellinas of the immense concourse bf persons that surrounded the Exchange during the day. A dread ful riot ensued ; paving stones Clew like hail in all directions ; every pane of glass in the whole bui'ding (the Exchange or Town. hall) was shivered to atoms, as were also many of the sashes. The poll was of course immediately closed, and the utmost confusion and dismay ensued. About tive o'clock we found General Grosvenor addressing his party front the Royal Hotel windows. He informed them that he had come 200 miles, and would go 1000 miles if requisite, for the same object—" to serve the good old city,"—and that lie bad ar rived " In the very quintesrenre of time to give his vote." Lord HELossavr. next attempted to address the people round the hotel, but it was quite inmessible to hear one tittle he said. At this moment the fed‘prudent party were seen advancing through the Eastgate in vast numbers. Several of the Grosvenor party scampered od'in various directions, and the standard-bearers retired into the hotel. Sonic alight skirmishes took place; the remainder of the party opened, and let the Independents march through, which they did, waving their hats, and venting imprecations on the General, and calling upon him to chew himself at the windows. The Grosvenor party were routed, several of their flags torn to atoms, and many severe pummellinga received on both sides. Se veral persons, principally little boys and women, were a good deal injured by being crushed in the crowd, and one Ind, the son of a person named Moors, a baker, in Northgate.street. was taken away insensible. The city continued in a state of great excitement during the evening. Mr. Swanwick addressed an immense multitude in front of the Albion, assuring them that their cause must uhimately triumph, notwithstanding the disgraceful means which had been that day resorted to, to overcome their virtuous efforts. The corn. mittee ammetliately issued hand bills, calling upon their friends to make every endeavour to preserve peace and good order. STATE OF IDE POLL.—NINTII DAY. Egerton 719 1 Beige:we - 753 Townsend - 651 1 Grosvenor . 721 (rum A CORRESPONDENT.) I must beg of you to state, that in consequence of a most serious disturbance having taken place to-day, on General Grosvenor making , hi 4 appearance on the nustinga to poll for his relatives, the Eger. on tally, which had just entered the box. was ouliged to go out unpolled which has placed Mr. Rob er t G r o sve n or t wo a -h ea d of the Gene ral, whereas, had they been polled in, the General would have headed Mr. Robert by eight. The whole of the win dows, including several of the frames, on the north and east sides of the Exchange, have been demolished, and several persons burr, including the town clerk, but who is only slightly so. The po pulace pulled up the pavement near the Exchange. and the marble stones were seen flying in every direction. All the shops in the city are closed, and great agitation prevails amongst us. NORTHCMDERLAND ELECTION. [From the Vase Mereery.l Our last week's paper contained a requisition to the High Sheriff of Northumberland, to call a meeting of freeholders to put in no. mination proper persons to represent the county in the ensuing Parliament. That Meeting was held on Tuesday, at Monte li. and the result of it has been what we anticipated—that Mr. Beau mont's name was carried by a large majority. As that gen tleman observed, in his gnu address to the assembled multitude, the Meeting was in itself a mast absurd one—it was contrary to common sense to think of a mating to moonimate, when almost every freeholder in the county had made up his mind to which of tha candidates he intended to give lis vote. It was an absui d THE BRITISH PRESS meeting, and Lord Howick and Mr. Bell, whose friends signed the need:duo:l, by wham, indeed, the whole affair was gat up from first to last, were amply rewarded by seeing their own names sup ported by ounnaretively few hands, and those of !Ur. Beaitmoiit and Mr. Liddell almost unanimously hailed as the choice of North umberland. This was indeed a triumph. To meet the enemy— the iolf-coostituted enemy, on his own grotmil, and with his own weapons to overthrow him ! It was such a blow to the unconstitu tional desiga of dictating to the county who ought to he their members, when those niembers were already virtually chosen, that we are mire never more will the presuming Whigs, with patriotism on their lips, venture to propose a measure so aristocratically au thmitative—no replete at once with the meanness and the tyranny of their hearts. lint the Whig press has been again at its paltry and characteristic work of misrepresentation and abuse; and, more for the sake of the complete exposure of which the thing is capable than because of any fear that its caltonitiee can injure any cause but their own, we shall here amuse ourselves and nor renders with what will probably be a concluding lash at the falsehoods and con tradictions of those gentry. The Neterastle Chronicle, in its account of the meeting publish ed separately and since transferred auto Its columns, commences with a notice of the entry of the candidates into Morpeth, in which we are gravely told that the colours of Lord Howick and Mr. Lid dell were principally worn by tholadies ; that Mr. Bell's colours were also generally worn ; but that Mr. Beaumont's were not by any means so numerous. Immediately afterwards, however, we are told that there was a regularly diaciplined and organized band dis persed through the crowd to hoot and assail Lord Howick and Mr. Lambton. Now, is there any man so simple as not to perceive here, in the very commencement. the Whig system of making every action and proceeding of their opponent and his friends ap pear as black as possible by all means in their power —even by the tnost manifest self contradictions ? Mr. Ileaumont's friends made no appearance? None at all, says the Chronicle ! And yet at the hunt. ings they say Mr. B. had a disciplined and organised hand ! In the first place. if we might judge from the Waring of handkerchiefs and clapping of fair hands whenever Mr. Beaumont spike, there was a gaeat number of ladies who meant their colours to apply to Mr. Beaumont as well as Mr. Liddell; and in the second, sir. Ikau mont's friends could hardly have shewn their opposition to Mr. Lambton and Lord Howick In the way in which they did, if they hail not been more numerous than the friends of those gentlemen. But as for organization, we are at • loss to understand what purpose it could answer. Surely Mr. Beaumont's friends have sufficient reason to be indignant at Mr. Lambton and the Whig organization against the independence of the county, without having any neces sity to organize a multitude in return. But does not Mr. Lambton think that those who hooted hint all the way home, whose hisses he heard at Morpeth„ at Newcastle, at Gateshead, and almost to his own doers, were organized ? Yes ! ttuly were they—organized by Whig calumny and intrigue—organized by Mr. Lamliton's own foolish interference with this county—organized by the affections of the people, who will never see an honest man unworthily trewed by unprincipled enemies, without clinging round him and pro tecting him, accelerating his triumph, and exulting in his success. But surely this band moat have been very great If it had the ef fects attributed to it by the Chr onicle. By ro means, if we are to judge from the remarks of Mr. Lambton and Lord Howick—for by them Mr. Beaumont's friends are called a knot in a corner—a con. Impale knot of bawler. ! Now, if they could be organized and disciplined through the crowd, how could they be contemptible and in a corner 3 Oh ! most inconsistent NYhigs! Bat when the Chronicle has to speak of the reception of Mr. Bird's speech —one of the most argumentative and manly speeches we ever heard—equally forcible, and free from violence and pertinent'', we have no bawler% there, no knots or " squalling," as Mr. Lambton elegantly termed it ! No, no ; we have here the hissings and hooting% of " the friends of Lord Howick," though during that vetch, and some other intervals of the meeting, the behaviour of those who wore blue and buff cockades was most scandalous. The Chronicle has not thought fit to say a word about this in its leading article. It throws all the tumult on the friends of Mr. Beaumont, a piece of barefaced partisanship in the very teeth of facts, as monstrous in itself as it is deserving of the reprobation and contempt of every freeholder of the county. Indeed if any at tentive person will carefully peruse the Chronicle's report, he will find that. as in the case of the man who always acted contrary to the direction, of Moore's A Imnnack, and found his judgment cor rect, he has only to say " applause" in many places where the Chronic* says " hissing and hooting," and he will come to some thing like a proper estimate of the feeling% of the meeting. On the part of Lord Howick there was an evident organization--for when his Lordship first appeared on the hustings, we heard a cry, from the Ilowickites—`• Give Its the sign a l! give u s th e s i gna l !' which wan immediately followed by cheers, and cries of " llowick for ever !" There was a Whig fugleman immediately above where we sat, who seemed to hare been well chosen Si far as voice was concerned ; and even Mr. Lambton did not hesitate to dictate his disappmbation by audibly hissing whenever lie thought the cause would be served by it. If any other proof of Wing organization be wanted, we may add that when the Sheriff first came upon the bulldogs, several of the Whigs motioned with their hands to the Blue and Buff cockadep, and called on them to draw up more in front. From the beginning of the day till the close of the meeting we never saw any thing more like military array than in the Howick party and their supporters, and yet they have the impudence to ac cuse Mr. Beaumont's friends of organization. There was one part of tie array at which we could not help laughing even when the debate on the hustings was at its highest, and that was, the singular mode of giving a somewhat respectable sound to the cheers of the Howickites by the beating of a large bass drum which was kept near one end of the hustings. To march to the drum is an ancient practice ; but to speak to the sound of this martial music is an ingenious scheme for oratorical effect which was reserved for the party of Lord Howick to originate. The speeches of the AVhigs may be fairly said to have been drummed out, as they themselves WIC a short time afterwards. The Chronicle says the Under Sheriff stated that the friends of Mr. Beaumont occupied the front of the hosting., and the other parties the flanks, and consequently were not so easily distinguishable, thus implying that there were actually n:ore hands held up for the disappointed Candidates than for the conquerors. When or where the Under Sheriff Paid this we are not intomied, and we much doubt that lie ever said it at all. But we know that Mr. Clayton is at heart a decided supporter of Mr. Bell, and we have little doubt that he would hare hesitated bofore he declared the names, had there been the slightest reason to dispute the nomination. But there was not so, as he himself ob. served before lie left the hustings; for he was heard distinctly to declare, " he was very glad there was such a majority that there could be no mistake." So much for the attempt of the Whigs to prove that they were wrongfully defeated by the intervention of Mr. Under Sheriff. But while we are speaking of the supposed position of the parties In front of the hustings, we must not omit to mention that the Whigs, anti the supporters of' Mr. Bell, occu pied far too large a 'pace, and most impolitely left little or no room for the friends of Mr. Beaumont and Mr. Liddell. Common de cency requires that this should be otherwise at Alnwick. We w elly believe that if it had not been for the exertions of a most inde pendent and worthy man, and certainly a most powerful friend of 111 r. Beaumont (!Ir. Ilarbottle), his. B. would hardly have ob. tamed standing room. The IFltigs took up nearly one half of the front of the hustings, and kept firm to their places, we should sup pose on the principle that every man should take care of himself. But we had almost forgotten to notice that the Whigs did in a most ridiculous manner endeavour to take care of themselves, in a man ner, indeed, which, while it showed considerable selfishness, be trayed no little fear. They went up to the hustings about half an hour before the time announced for the meeting by the Sheriff, and there they seemed determined to remain. Mr. Sergeant Forsyth, however, who had been deputed by the Sheriff, very coolly, but po. litely. ordered them of, and they obeyed ;—Mr. Lambton and Lord Howick with much reluctance. _ The Chronicle, however, has some other vet odd reasons for the show of hands being against the Whip. He says, the adhe rents of 111 r. Beaumont and of Mr. Liddell were strongly united, while the interests of Lord Howick and Mr. Bell were entirely di. Tided. This is news indeed ! But we should have some proof of it. Does the Chronicle think it was proved by the almost constant cry of " Howick and Bell" amongst the Howiekites during the whole of the meeting ? 11'hat motive under heaven could inlace the mob to cry "Ilowick and Bell," without either instruction, or a supposition that there was some understanding between the par. tin? Or was it proved by Mr. Lnmbton's leaving Morpeth at. tended, by the band of Mr. Bell; or was that band merely em ployed because Lord Ilowick's being less popular, it was deemed politic to keep it in the back ground ? After the nomination meet ing was requested by the friends of Lord Howick and Mr. Bell r.x. CLUSIVELY, the effrontery, the downright practical lie, of the statement, that their interests were divided, deserves to be remem bered as a proof how far into baseness the demoralization of party spirit will carry those whom it actuates. The Chronicle next tells us, that " had but one-half of those who accompanied his Lordship into town held up their hands, the result would have been very different; but they were not in the crowd in front of the hustings. and thus they suffered the honour of the day to he wrested front thrill," &c. We tire very glad Mr. Beaumont and Mr. Liddi 11 are allowed to have had the honour of the day at all ; tbr we really thought the Whigs would be trying all means to prove the nomination to have been a most dishonourable transaction. We thank them for thus forgetting themselves ; fur after asserting that Mr. Beaumont and Mr. Liddell, or Mr. Beau mont himself, gained the day by an organized band. they confess they themselves do not believe it, by inadvertently allowing that the gentlemen nominated lirel thelionour of the day. Mr. Beaumont and Mr. Liddell, then, had the honour of the day ;—tell us, pray our good friends the lVhigo„ whortad the dishonour? But whither had gone the phalanx which accompanied Lord Howick into town ? Were they a mere fairy creation, whose hour had expired before the meeting came to a close? Surely Mr. Lambton would not have suffered them to depart if there was the slightest chance of their carrying the nomination of my Lord Howick ; and yet the Chronicic says they were not present. If this be the case. the most inexplicable question is, why were they not present ? We cannot imagine any reasonable answer from the Whigs. Yet if they were not present, there was doubtless a strong body_at least an apps. rently strong body of Howickites, about the hustings, who might have held up their hands for my herd Ilow ick; but we were asto. fished to see a great number of hands rise up for Mr. Beaumont actually from the midst of the buff and blue cockades. The regi ment of person; who accompanied Lord Ilowick to the hustings consisted of the tenants of Earl Grey, those of my Lord Carlisle, those of the Dtike of Portland, those of Mr. Ord (the Member for Morpotk), those of Mr. Dand, of Closter Hill, of Mr. Smith, of Togeton, and Mr. Fenwick, of Ulgitam Grange, (most of whom. doubtless. remained, though the Chronicle says wherwise) ; but yet. bound. it, they might be considered to be, to theoentiments, or rather to the side of their lords and masters, til_y held up their hands for Mr. Beaumont, in utter disgust and indignation at the conduct of the Witil,s, inconsistencies of the Chypikk—the coriplete bewilder. meet in which the reporters have involved themselves with respect to the numbers who supported the different Candidates, is most laughable. First, we base Mr. Beautnont's colours not F.) nume rous Its the rest; then we Le told that he had an organized band who were numerous enough to hoot down Mr. Lambton ; then, again. this band was less than the adherents of my Lord Howick and Mt, Bell, who, if they had not been on the liunks, would have been seen, and would have gained the election; then the numbers of Mr. Beaumont and Mr Liddell were once more greater than those of my Lord Howick and Mr. Bell, though Lord Howick would certainly have out-cumbered them, if the men who accom panied him into Morpetit had remained there; and, last of all, the superior show of hands came from inferior numbers, who were strong only in discipline, obedience, and arrangement," as if " discipline, obedience. and arrangement" can give every man six hands a-piece ! of blunders! was there ever such a mass of addle-headedness as this ? Never before did intellectual consti. ;whin squeeze. out so much mingled sell-conv.ction and absurdity.. The editor ni the Chrovide seems to imply that the charges against Mr. Beaumont—the private charges, the corre.pondence, aeod many mortal flaws in his character, which Mr. Lambton has several times mysteriously hinted at. were not brought forward be. cause of the clamour of the Meeting. 'the 13'Ings were challenged to come forward, he insinuates, and they were not suKred to be heard. This is, as we suppose, intended a mist for the eyes of the public —to cause them to believe that more was said than was heard from the hustings. But if more was said than was heard by the crcwd, every word was reported, and appears in all the papers ! The Chronicle blinks the question. The charge, were demanded by 31r. Beaumont in the most intrepid manner, and no one durst bring them forward. The Dudrini Chroiriele talks about practices, tricks, 'and anti. (ices, and means unfair and disreputable, having been resorted to by Mr. Beaumont. It' these Nrings knew of any such means and proceedings, they would not keep b ac k th e d eta il s . , NVe nave never heard of any such co n d uc t on the part of Ale. Bea umont, and, till we are convinced by a statement of p a rti cu l ars , we s h a ll not rely upon vague assertion and mere verbal abuse, as tie empty substi tute where better argument is not to he procured. We are sure this joust be the opinion of every honest man in the county as well it is ours. One word we must have with Mr. Lambton before we see him at Ainwick. lle descended on Tuesday to some of the most impro per means of supporting my Lord Ilowick's c a use. Amongst others, we never heard any thing in worse taste than his ace ng Mr. Beaumont of having thrown himselt into the arms of the Radi. cals. He did not mention the word " Radicals :" we pre.mme he dune not. As to the charge itself, we know of no foundation fur it whatever. Mr. Beaumont professes the most complete inde pendence of principle; is that Radicalism? We are proud to say that we support the principles which Mr. Beaumont maintains-- principles which we have ever held through good report aid evil report ; and yet we dare say the Radicals will remember some occa sions on which we have lashed them with one hand and the IVhigs with the other. The truth is, Mr. Lambton thinks every body a Radical who happens to be opposed to the Whigs ; hut he did not like to name the word " Radical." for he recollected that he had himself nobly stood forward in defence of the Radicals, and had even been denominated one of their body in a manner so familiar that we will not use personality enough to mention it. NEWCASTLE—Ty ESDA T. On Wednesday last, the Hon. H. T. Liddell paid a visit to North Shields, into which he made a triumphal entry; attended by an immense assembl age o f t h e popu l at i on, with music, and ban. ners innumerable. The honourable gentleman and his friends set out in several carriages from the Queen's Head Inn, in this town, in the forenoon. On the cavalcade arriving at Chirton, the horses were taken from 3lr. Liddell's carriage, and he was drawn into Shields by the people, amidst the must enthusiastic chcerings, waving of handkerchiefs, &c. When the procession arrived op. posite the committee-room, the Hon. Candidate stood up, and in bis usual graceful manner addressed the immense multitude in an animated speech, expressive of his gratitude for the reception they had given him, alluding to the result of the meeting at Morpeth on the preceeding day, for which he was indebted to his unbought and unpaid supporters, and promising that his utmost exertions should be used to realize the expectations his friends had formed of him. The whole scene was grand and affecting. On Friday last, Sir. Beaumont proceeded to Realism, where he was received with an enthusiasm which had been rarely equalled. Shortly after his arrival, he addressed the immense crowd assern. bled, trom the Black Bull Inn, to the following effect : " Gentlemen—l return you my sincere thanks fn tke I ind and enthusiastic manner in which I have been greeted upon my en trance into the town of Hexham. The enthusnum manifested upon this occasion hss been, I am convinced, called forth by the attempt which has recently been made to crush your late Representative.-- (Several cries of It has, it has.") On that occasion the manouvre resorted to, viz. that of gaining their object by assailing my psi. vate character, has tended to advance me in the estimation of every man who has a heart in his bosom ; ot . which I have a proof in the votes which have this day been given to me. (Loud cheers) I have also an evidence of it in the approbation of the fair sea.— (Loud cheers and waving of handkerchiefs.) This approbation, I am convlird no one will receive whose conduct is not above reproach, and' the conduct of no one in private life stands higher, I hope than that of your late Representative. Before concluding, I shall say a few words upon the behaviour of the late Alm. bee for Durham, who came into this county to attack my private character. We must take the will for the deed; has will was to injure me. (Cries of "It was,") but he bas by his conduct in reality served my cause. I shall here contrast his behaviour with that of a nobleman of high rank in this county, who is as much shore !Ur. !Arabian in wealth and dignity as in nobleness of mind--I mean the Duke of Northumberland, who, at the late contest, and on the present occasion, has pursued a line of conduct which reflects the highest credit upon him ; he has kept within the limits that our laws and usages pre scribe to a peer of the realm ; and I can assure you, to my c main knowledge, he has not influenced ■ single vote. h en.) How unlike the Member for Durham, who, to gain his po nt, carts not whose feelings he wounds. I care not what thzy say of me. for I am satisfied that the honest men who are around me feel indignant that a foreigner should come to disturb the peace of the county. (Cheers.) Nature will do all she can.—drowning nen will catch at straws; so has it been with my enemies : when they fourd they could not gain their ends by fair and honourable mean s. they had recourse to weak supports, and hesitated not to mix up private af fairs with public occasion . On Tuesday last we triumphed, and I feel confident en Tuesday next we shall triumph rgait. (Loud cheers.) We must nor, however, relax in our efforts, and I ex hort vou to use all your influence to increase the stiff ages on my behalf. I now fake leave of you, and I hope you will meet me on Tuesday at Altiwick, to secure my return ; a ,d when I again li tve the pleasure of being ammo' you, the cry will be ' Beaumont and Victory " tes(eiday was truly a " busy day" in Newcastle. The bands of the different Candidates to represent Northumberland in Parlia ment, " were stirring with the lark," and by their music awoke many of the inhabitants from their slumbers much earlier than usual. Expectation was roused, and numerous para..% continued all the morning to perambulate up and down the streets. About nine o'clock, 31.dthew Bell, Esq. who arrived a short time before from ll'oolsington, set off from the George Inn for Alnwick. He was drawn in his carriage, by men with ropes, out of the town, at. tended by a cavalcade of coaches, and followed by a considerable crowd. A prodigious number of persons collected about the Turk's Head Inn, where the Committee of T. W. Beaumont, Esq. sit, anxious to obtain a view of their favourite. The band, with their white uniform and favours, were in front, and played several airs. About a quarter after 12 o'clock, lily. Beaumont, previous to his departure, addressed the assembled multitude from his carriage, to the following tile( t Gentlemen--I thank you most heartily for the warm and en. thusiastic manner in which you have received me, and I feel con vinced that 1 have your ardent wishes for my success at Alnwiek. (Cheers.) Thanks, thanks to the exertions of my friends--thanks to the misjudged exertions of my enemies, my cause is row about to be triumphant against all hostility, against all opposition. It gives me great satisfaction to find that I have hitherto proceeded in this contest in such a manner as to meet with your entire approba tion. My cause is your cause—it Is an honest cause—it is the cause of the independence of Northumberland. (Cheers and great applause.) It shall be fought as it becomes freemen to fight their cause, temperately, but boldly and fearlessly." Mr. B.'s brief address was received with the loudest acclama tions by the immense number of persons who literally tilled the street all the way front the Nunsgate to the end of the H igh Bridge. Mr. B. was drawn in his carriage by men who attached ropes to it, through the town, amid such s concourse of people, and such a feeling of enthusiasm on every side, as mu s t have been most gra tifying to Mr. Beaumont, and must indeed have made any man proud. The cheers, the waving of handkerchiefs and flags from the windows as he passed, presented a scene truly heart-stirring. Lord Howick was nut here, but his band paraded up and down the streets. The Hon. IL T. Liddell was at Ellington, but his bro ther, the lion. T. Liddell, and his uncle, the Rev. G. 11 Liddell, of Bolton, passed through this town about half.past twelve o'clock, on their way to Alnwiek, accompanied by the cheers of a cons!. derable crowd assembled at the Queen's Head on their departure. WI N mon, JUNE 21.—Yesterday afternoon his Ma jesty, with his usual suite, arrived at the Castle in two phaetons, from the Royal Lodge. After inspecting the improvements, his 3lniesty returned to the Ruyal Lodge to dinner. Yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, his Majesty left the Royal Lodge, in Il'indsor l'ark, in his open travelling carriage, to visit his Royal bro:her, the Duke of York. His Illajesty alighted from Ids carriage at the apartments of his Royal Sister, the Princess Sophist, at hit Palace at Kensington. and shortly after the King proceeded to the Duke of York's house, in South Atidley.street, to visit his Royal Brother, in consequence of his indisposition, where Sir Henry Raiford was in attendance to report to the King the state of the Royal Duke, which we are happy to say was--" His Royal Hight), ss is a great deal better, and has experienced a very good night." Tke King remained with his Royal Brother very nearly an hour and a half, and then left town on his return to the Royal Lodge. In consequence of the death of Alderman Cox, Sir Peter Laurie and 31r.

COURT OF CHANCERY, WmarriesDAY, Juitz 21. IN THE MATTER OP SIR G. P. THRIIIIR. At the sitting of the Coon this morning, this case came on again to be discussed, as to the sum bf 1,501. to be advanced to Sir Gregory Page Turner. In order to enable him to try the traverse. The Lon° CHANCELLOR observer', that he did not know what was to be done. lie hail no affidavit bithre him to say that 1,300 f. was positivel necessary for the purpose of trying the traverse i n question. l ie should like to see some calculation as to the expense. for he was determined not to advance one shilling unless it was most clearly and distinctly shewn to be for the purpose of trying the traverse, and nothing else. Mr. HEALD, for the Committees, said that those who presented the petition ought to be prepared to give his Lordship the required information. The filet waa, that it was only presented to bolster up the case from day to day. The LORD CHANCELLOR repeated, that he would not grant 1,3001. for the trial of the traverse, without knotting from the Soli citor what the witnesses were to prove. The Counsel for Sir Gregory Page Turner observed, that there had been an affidavit filed since the hearing of the case on Monday. which stated that a smaller number of witnesses were necessary to attend the traverse, inasmuch as the only point to be considered would be, whether Sir Gregory Page Tamer was or was r u t of sound mind at the time oldie issuing of the commission. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that if such was the case, and If 1,600/. was necessary in the first instance. a much smaller sum would be required when the case was reduced to the single point es to the sanity or Insanity at the time of the inquisition. The Counsel for Sir Gregory Page Turner observed, that there was an affidavit in the case, dated in 1824, which stated the pro perty to be 17,0001. per annum. The Lon D CHANCELLOR said that he recol:ected that, upon applico ion being made on behalf of Lady Turner for money, it was stated that 10001. or 2001. was half the clear income. 31r. IlEar.D said, there had been an affidavit filed, which stated that the funds in the hands of the Committees *as only Mi., and which was subject to deductions. The LORD CHANCELLOR asked if any gentleman would in. form him who were the physicians, who were to go down to the trial of the traverse, in order to chew that Sir Gregory was or sound mind at the time of suing out the commission ? The Counsel for Sir G. P. Turner said then Ile believed Doctor. Powell and Maslen) would be called for that purpose. The LORD CHANCELLOR wished clearly to understand whether Dr. Powell would give evidence of the sanity of S r G. P. Turner at the time of finding the inquisition. The Counsel fur Sir Gregory Page Turfier said, that he was so instructed. The LORD CHANCELLOR wished his compliments to be me armed- to Dr. Powell, and to request that the Doctor would meet him in his pirate room tomorrow morning, for he wished to know e truth of that statement from Ow Doctor himself. The Counsel for Sir Uregory said that he hollered Dr. Powell was at Cheltenham. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed. that unless Dr. Powell was to prove the sanity at the time of the inquisition, he would aot allow one shilling for his expenst a. Mr. HEALD said, that he was informed by Mr. M bn''e? e Solicitor for the Committees) that he had letters from Powelt, dated within the last few days, which stated that Sri Greg. ry Pane Turner was inane. The Counsel for Sir G. P. Turner understood th it hs tisopr•• sassed letters from Dr. Powell within the same pttiod, which ix. pressed a belief as to his sanity. Mr. HEALD could not believe it possible that n gentleman ct Dr. Powell's respectability could have so committed tumult: The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that there was no doubt money ought to be granted to Sir Gregory Page Turner to tee the traverse, provided it was shewn the amount that was pesitively necessary, and that there was a fund from which it could be provided. The Counsel for Sir G. P. Turner said that the expenses might not exceed five or six hundred pounds. The LORD CHANCELLOR wished then to know why 1,509/. had been asked for ? Was he to be told by a solicitor that such a suns was necessary, without proving that it really was so? He wished the matter to be mentioned again to.morrow morning. IN THE MATTER OF LORD PORTSMOCTH's LUNACY. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL appeared in support of a petition presented by the Committees of his Lordship's estate, praying that after the payment of all costs and charges enumerated in the pen. Lion, the surplus income might be applied in discharge of the costs of Lady Portsmouth's defence in a suit instituted against her in the Ecclesiastical Court for a divorce. The costs incurred were very heavy, and must necessarily b e b or n e by t h e h us b an d ; an d i t was proposed to raise money by annuity chargeable on Lord Ports. mouth's personal estate for life, for the purpose of paying the en &Joni, and the surplus to be applied to the payment of the costs of Lady Portsmouth's defence. Mr. PEETs followed on the same side, and said the real question was, whether the cause in the Ecclesiastical Court should or should not proceed until the fonds were provided. Mr. HORN E, OH the part of Lady Portsmouth and the creditor , . contended that it was impossible that such ao order could be made as prayed by the petition. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought it would be better that the petition should come on with the other petitions at the last seal, fur money could not be advanced until it was seen what were the statt: of the debts. The Court had given its sanction to the prosecution in the Ecclesiastical Court, and if there was nothing mote than that the husband must supply the means, the sanction of the Court t the proceedings would make it incumbent on him to provide the means for the wife's defence. The difficulty was as to the credi. tots; they could not be paid until the Master's report had received the sanction of the Court. Mr. HCRNE begged to say that the Solicitor.Oeneral had not stated the substance of the petition. The petition asked that ell the money, after the costs and charges of maintenance of the luna tic and his family, and the payment of the creditors, might be paid to the petitioner, for the purpose of enabling Lady Portsmouth to make her defence, though he at the saute time admitted that theta might not be any surplus. The SOLICITOR-GENEIIAL said that their present ohjectioe was, an attempt on the part of Lady Portsmouth to prevent the suit goieg on in tile Ecclesiastical Court. Mr. HonsE thought that if his Lordship granted the payer of the petition, nothing could be done tar the creditor,. The SOLICITOR GENE:IAL said the present wes a sample of the conduct of Lady Portsmouth and her advisers—he did not mart her legal advisers; but it was quire unnecessary for hint to recapi. tulate to his Lordship what heti transpired respecting that Lady, and of the manner in which she had conducted herself. The Loon CHANCELLOit said that he took it to be quite clear that the rule of the Ecclesiastical Court was, that where a huebend sited for a divorce, as the Lady was still his wife, he was bound to furnish her with the means fm her defence. The question. stripped of the particular circumstances that affected it, was, whether after the Court I.:ad approved of the proceedings for a divorce, it should furnish the means of making those proceedings effective. The ob. jest of the petition was to appropriate the surplus, after all the cos: t and charges on other heads had been supplied, to that purpose; and he had no hesitation in saving that such ought to be the case ; at the same time, he doubted it he could do any good by making such an order, under the circumstances, as they existed at that moment. What he bad arrived at was, that if the Master should make his repot t that the debts might to be discharged out of an annuity to be raised, then there might be a surplus. He thought, therefore. that it was material the Master ehouid make his report between that day and the next day of petitions, in order that the thing might collie on in such a way as to know whether there could be any item State application. It appeared that Doctors' Commons required to know in three days what was to be done. lie could only say, if the Corn. mitice would advance the money f or t h e p urpose of t h e d efence in the suit pending there, upon the credit of the estate. he (the Lord Chancellor) would give him the necessary claim. If it was said at Doctors' Commons that it could be only paid out of the surplus. then there would be some difficulty ; at any rate it would b. 2 tense for them to go there, and then tell hint what they said to it. It might be that the parties for Lady Portsmouth would be instructed to say it was all very well ; but immediate funds were necessary, and not in twelve months or two years ; they would say that cent. petent means of defence she was entitled to. It. thereft u. they emit! find any body to a d vance an y money, he (the Lord Chasid cellor) would secure them. The 'So tielmon.Gesr.nee. consi aeration would answer the purpose. dered that his Lerdship'e des The LORD CHANCrI.I.OII said he was afraid that it "mold roe, His deelseation would not advance die money. If the , they might go to Doctors' and see what effect Ilya d es k" tatioll would hat e Mete Ti:ett ml ~1 1 / .: a se:plee f ee any
